Chapter 303: It's a coincidence
Starting from Chang'an, Li Feng took the Black Tiger Army and hurried non-stop. I have to say that these war horses were really trained by Xiao Hei to be very strong, and they had already arrived at Mayi on the afternoon of the seventh day. After chatting with Qin Huaiyu and them for a while, Li Feng knew that Ma Yi and Yunzhong were the starting points of the Tang Army's attack on the Eastern Turks.
In that year, Li Jingbu's army, it was from here that they attacked Dingxiang and defeated Jieli Khan, laying the foundation for the Tang Dynasty's destruction of the Eastern Turks.
With the demise of the Eastern Turks, the original garrison town of Mayi quickly lost its status. Because, since the fall of the Eastern Turks, in order to settle those Turks who surrendered, Li Shimin set up six governorships in the Eastern Turkic region. Among them, there are the Dingxiang Governor's Mansion and the Yunzhong Governor's Mansion. In addition, there are four prefectures of Huazhou, Changzhou, Yuzhou and Sichuanzhou.
And this time, the Western Turks attacked Dingxiang and Yunzhong. Because, this place is the old land of Jieli Khan. This area, with its fertile water and grass, is vast and flat, making it an ideal place for grazing. Of course, it is also a very favorable place for cavalry to gallop.
"Dashuai, there is Ma Yi in front, from here to Dingxiang, there are still a hundred miles. Shall we rush to Dingxiang now, or should we rest in Mayi for one night before we set off?"
When they came to the outside of Mayi City, Li Feng and the others paused. At this time, Qin Huaiyu hurriedly dismounted, ran forward, and began to ask Li Feng.
"Well, forget it, I think, let's rest in Mayi for one night tonight, and then set off early tomorrow morning."
After seven days of rapid marching, everyone's faces were more or less tired. It was decided. Now it's time for Ma Yi to take a good rest. Anyway, he only received a military report yesterday, saying that there would be no problems in Dingxiang in a short period of time. Therefore, Li Feng is not in a hurry to come at this time and a half. Therefore. It is better to rest directly in Mayi for the night, and then rush to Dingxiang early tomorrow morning.
"Obey the order....... En, handsome, look at the ...... over there"
Just when Qin Huaiyu was about to give the order. Suddenly, he pointed behind everyone and said with a look of surprise on his face. Li Feng turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a large number of people running towards them.
"Dashuai, that is the direction of Ten Thousand Dingxiang. These people seem to be ordinary people, and look at their appearance. It was to flee to the city of Mayi. ”
knew that Li Feng was not familiar with this piece at all. Qin Huaiyu immediately began to explain to Li Feng. It's just that Qin Huaiyu's tone was a little anxious.
"Go and ask. Is there something wrong with Dingxiang?"
When Li Feng heard that it was the people who came from Dingxiang, he immediately felt that something was wrong. And look at this long line. There are quite a few people, and there are these people, who obviously look like they are running for their lives. There is no doubt that there must be a change in Dingxiang.
After listening to Li Feng's words, Qin Huaiyu immediately mounted his war horse and galloped towards that side. It didn't take long for him to hurry back again, and his face became very serious.
"Marshal, early this morning, the Turks don't know where to transfer military horses, outside Dingxiang City, the Turkic army began to launch a fierce attack on Dingxiang City. Due to the disparity in strength, although there are cities to rely on, the casualties of our Tang army are very heavy. Dingxiang City is within reach. The general of Dingxiang City, General Niu Jinda, ordered the people in the city to evacuate. ”
Although he was also very anxious in his heart, Qin Huaiyu still tried his best to keep himself calm, and then told Li Feng in detail what he had learned.
"No, isn't it true that the Turks have only 150,000 troops. What about the clouds, what's going on over there? Why don't they support Dingxiang?"
When Li Feng heard this, he immediately frowned, but soon, he began to wonder again. You must know that there are nearly 100,000 Tang soldiers at this pass. Could it be that the Turks dare to ignore the clouds and attack Dingxiang with all their might. This is not right, aren't they afraid that they will send troops to support Dingxiang in the clouds, and when the time comes, they will attack back and forth. In this way, even if their troops are relatively strong, they will suffer a great loss when they are under the enemy.
"The people in the city don't know the specific situation. Marshal, look at General Niu's method, is he ready to fight to the death or is ready to give up Dingxiang and retreat to Mayi. ”
Since Niu Jinda is asking the people in the city to evacuate Dingxiang, it shows that the situation in Dingxiang must be very bad now. As we all know, it is easy to defend a city but difficult to siege. What's more, these Turks are not very good at attacking cities. From this, Li Feng can conclude that outside Dingxiang City at this time, the number of troops definitely exceeded 100,000.
"The Black Tiger Army listened to the order and rushed to Dingxiang at full speed"
Since Dingxiang City is in danger, no matter what, you can only rush to Dingxiang City. As for the rest, what to do can only be decided at that time. After deciding, Li Feng immediately took the lead and rushed in the direction of Dingxiang, followed by a thousand Black Tiger Army.
"It's really unlucky to get home, why did you encounter this thing as soon as you came?"
Li Feng is now as depressed as he wants to be in his heart, he originally thought that he would come two days in advance, but who knows, he will catch up with this thing as soon as he comes.
If this were to come with Li Ji and the others, it would be much simpler. In addition to the thousands of elite cavalry they brought from the capital, when the time comes, there will be other soldiers and horses squeezed out from other places. Combined, there are also twenty or thirty thousand horses. It's good now, just the 1,000 Black Tiger Army led by yourself.
To say that in the face of several times, or even ten times the number of people, Li Feng is confident that he will fight with the other party with this thousand powerful Black Tiger Army, but now, he has to face more than 100,000 people and horses, how can this be done. Thinking about it, it made Li Feng feel a headache. However, now, no matter what, he must rush to Dingxiang City.
The journey of more than a hundred miles, under Li Feng and the others advancing at full speed, did not take long to arrive. Far away, Li Feng could hear it, and bursts of sound came from afar.
The neighing of war horses, the shouting of silles, the sound of war drums, and even the bursts of screams all show that an incomparably tragic war is going on ahead. When you hear it from afar, you can feel it in a burst of creepy. As you can imagine, there must be a hellish scene ahead. Li Feng could even smell the strong smell of blood in the air.
In an instant, Li Feng felt that an extremely familiar feeling had returned to his body. made him feel that his blood was beginning to boil, as if there was some mysterious magic, which made him want to rush towards the battlefield in front of him. However, in the end, Li Feng endured it.
"Stop, let's change direction, don't go into the city"
Seeing that Dingxiang City was in front of him, suddenly, Li Feng asked everyone to stop, and then frowned and said. Along the way, he was thinking about what to do, and after thinking about it, he decided not to enter Dingxiang City.
"Dashuai, if you don't enter Dingxiang City, then we ......."
Just now, he hurriedly said that he came to Dingxiang City to support, but suddenly he gave an order not to enter the city. All of a sudden, everyone was a little confused. However, for Li Feng's orders, everyone has long been accustomed to choosing to obey. Therefore, no one said anything, but Qin Huaiyu asked in a low voice on the side.
"Let's go around and go behind the Turks"
Hearing Qin Huaiyu's question, Li Feng pointed in the direction of the battlefield in front of him, and then spoke.
"Shuai, this can't be helped. There were only a thousand of us, and it was too dangerous to go around behind the enemy's army. If there's anything wrong with this, Dashuai, absolutely not, we can't let you take this risk."
"Yes, Dashuai, if you make any mistakes, then ......."
As soon as Li Feng's words were finished, they immediately caused a burst of dissuasion. It's too dangerous to do that. They couldn't let Li Feng take this risk.
"Well, since he has come to the battlefield, no matter what his identity, he is first and foremost a soldier. Have you forgotten what I told you? A soldier's duty is to defend his home and country, and nothing else. Besides, my decision was well thought out. ”
"Now Dingxiang City is under siege by the Turkic army, and it is still more than 100,000 troops. Think about it, what role can we, a thousand people play when we enter the city? That would only sacrifice all of our advantages. ”
"Besides, if we don't go into the city, it's not necessarily dangerous. Don't forget, we are the Black Tiger Army, and with Xiao Hei here, the cavalry is just a decoration for us. There are no cavalry, we have to run away, they rely on two legs, and if they are killed, they will not want to catch us, will they"
Li Feng knew what they meant, they didn't want Li Feng to take risks. You must know that even if Dingxiang City is within reach now, after all, there are still tens of thousands of troops. Li Feng is the coach and the prince, and when the time comes, no matter what, there will be no danger.
However, Li Feng couldn't do that, he was here to fight, and since he was on this battlefield, there was no reason or reason for him to dodge. Besides, it's not necessarily more dangerous outside than inside the city.
"I said, why are you all looking at Lao Tzu like this. What's the matter, you can't run. In short, just remember Lao Tzu's words, there are many of them, let's run, they can't catch up anyway. If there were fewer people, we would have figured out if they understood. Don't be so fucking brainless, haven't you heard a word, keep the green mountains here, and don't be afraid of no firewood. We will fight the battle, and we will keep the order. Do you understand, if the time comes, who dares to be stupid and not pull a few places, see if Lao Tzu doesn't clean him up. ”
Seeing the kind of look that everyone showed when he said he was running away, Li Feng was suddenly scolded.
"Alright, now, get ready to go. Remember, quietly enter the village, don't shoot. This time, Lao Tzu is going to take you and become a thorn next to the Turkic chrysanthemum gate, if there is nothing to do, poke him, hehe"
When there is no way to talk about democracy, Li Feng can only practice dictatorship. So, under the sneering smile on Li Feng's face, everyone chose to obey the order.
A team of 1,000 people, just like this, quietly touched the back of the Turkic army.
