The Turkic general walked into the tent and smiled at everyone.

When the leaders of the tribes saw the face of the general, they all exclaimed at the same time: "Ashina Simo? Pitler (Turkic Commander)? ”

Ashina Simo bowed to the Turkic Jieli Khan sitting upright on the white tiger skin chair and saluted: "Ashina Simo commands 50,000 elites of the headquarters to meet the Great Khan!" ”

The Turkic Jieli Khan stood up, walked to Ashnasmo's side, patted Ashnasimo on the shoulder affectionately and said: "General Ashnasmo, you are the Jiabitler (Turkic commander) of my Great Turkic Khanate, and the invincible and invincible Turkic god of war of my Great Turkic Khanate. Now that Datang and we have suffered heavy losses and are exhausted, we are waiting for your arrival to join hands with us to jointly defeat the Twelve Guards army led by Li Ji of Datang, and attack and annex the entire Datang. ”

Ashnasimo respectfully said to Jieli Khan: "Great Khan, I, Ashnasimo and the 50,000 elites under my command, listen to the arrangement of the Great Khan. ”

Jieli Khan said happily: "Okay, pass on the order of Ben Khan, tomorrow from the fourth watch, after the warriors of the tribes have a full meal, they will comprehensively counterattack the twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty, when the twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty are exhausted, General Ashina Simo you will lead your 50,000 fresh troops, go straight to the Tang Dynasty champion general Li Ji, seize and cut off Li Ji's handsome banner, capture and kill Li Ji, and then the tribal armies will be in one go, and the entire Tang army commanded by Li Jing, the general of the Tang Dynasty, will be expelled from the grassland and across the Yellow River, Expelled to the Great Wall. ”

Until this time, Jieli Khan still believed that Li Ji was the commander of the entire Tang Twelve Guards Army commanding the first line of attack, while Li Jing was behind the Twelve Guards Army, actually controlling the entire Tang Twelve Guards Army. He didn't know that the real commander of the Twelve Guards Army of the Tang Dynasty in front of him was Li Ji, and Li Jing had already led 50,000 strange soldiers directly behind him.

Early in the morning of the second day. The armies of the Turkic tribes suddenly launched a ferocious counterattack against the Twelve Guards of the Tang Dynasty. Since it had always been the Tang army attacking, and the Turkic army was defending, the Turkic army suddenly launched a full-scale counteroffensive, and the Tang Twelve Guards Army, which had no preparation, suddenly fell into chaos. The Turks were high-spirited, the shouts of killing were earth-shattering, and Chai Shao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, who was seriously injured in the battle of Evil Yang Ridge, had just woken up and was coerced by the guards around him to retreat. After that, the entire army of the Left Jin Wuwei could also follow his own general to retreat, and soon the army led by Duan Zhixuan, the general of the Right Jin Wuwei, and the army led by Zhang Gongjin, the general of the right Jin Wuwei, could not resist and began to retreat slowly.

The escort reported to Li Jiyu, deputy marshal of the Tang Northern Expeditionary Army and champion general: "Deputy marshal, the left Jin Wuwei army, the right Jin Wuwei army, and the right leading army Wei army have all begun to retreat, and the flanks of our army have been completely exposed, if we do not retreat, our army will be completely surrounded by the Turks." ”

Li Ji said coldly: "Retreat? Where to retreat? I am the deputy commander of the Twelve Guards Army, and when the commander is not there, I am the highest commander of the Twelve Guards Army. If I retreat. The entire Twelve Guards army will completely collapse, will be chased and killed by the Turks all the way, and there will be no more chance to stop and rectify, and my Datang's Northern Expedition will be a complete failure. Ben Shuai didn't believe it, a few days ago, it was still my Tang army that pressed the Turkic army, and today it is still the same people. If the Turkic army attacked, our Tang army would be defeated. My Tang army just didn't expect a full-scale counteroffensive by the Turkic army. was caught off guard by the Turkic army, as long as our Tang army stabilized and relieved, it was still our Tang army that suppressed the Turkic army. ”

After that, Li Ji ordered: "Pass my commander's order, and the Twelve Guards army will firmly guard their camp." Never retreat, whoever loses the camp, military law is engaged. ”

The battle was unprecedentedly fierce, and Li Ji's camp tent was fluttering in the wind with a Li character handsome flag, and Li Ji's camp tent was surrounded by Turkic soldiers who shouted and killed like a tide. The Tang soldiers around Li Ji suffered heavy casualties.

Li Ji's guards begged Li Ji bitterly: "Dashuai, now all the guards and armies of my Datang are retreating, only Dashuai is still erecting this handsome flag, and the Turkic soldiers are all desperate to charge towards the handsome banner of Dashuai." If you don't remove this handsome flag, you and our guards will all fight out. ”

Li Jizema came to the handsome flag, and looked up at the big black "Li" on the red flag. Suddenly, as soon as he stretched out his hand and pulled up the flagpole, he almost roared angrily: "You're right, this handsome flag really shouldn't stand here, it should stand at the front of my Tang army!" Send the order, call all the brothers who can move, follow Ben Shuai, let's charge, and repel this all-out counterattack of the Turks. ”

After speaking, Li Ji held high the handsome banner and rushed to the Turkic army that was gradually surrounding. The Tang soldiers around Li Ji were deeply encouraged, and they took their weapons one after another, followed closely behind Li Ji, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "The Tang Dynasty is mighty, the Tang Dynasty will win, charge, charge, charge......"

The figure of Li Ji on horseback holding high the handsome flag and the Tang soldiers behind him screaming and following the attack of the back in the firelight, it looks very majestic, very tragic, and very shocking, all the retreating Tang soldiers were deeply encouraged, turned around, mustered up the last courage, shouted and charged forward with Li Ji's pace, many Tang soldiers covered in blood also got up from the pile of corpses, picked up knives and guns, and joined the charging team.

Gradually, the soldiers behind the handsome banner gathered more and more, and the soldiers of the Turks on the opposite side were also under the command of the leaders of the various departments, desperately moving forward, and the two groups of soldiers who did not admit defeat fought together, and the two desperate will to win fought together, this magnificent scene made the mountains and rivers change color.

And in the rear of the Tang side of the battlefield, a group of guards were retreating with Chai Shao, who was seriously injured. Chai Shao turned his head and saw the stubborn "Li" character handsome flag, the fierce Chai Shao pushed away the guards, and said with a trembling beard: "You all look back, the handsome flag of the big man is still rushing forward, although I am the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, I was seriously injured, but my Zuo Jin Wuwei army can not retreat." If you retreat, I'll die here at once. Everybody follow me and kill back! ”

After that, Chai Shao ignored his serious injuries and wanted to return to the battlefield immediately and participate in the big war. (To be continued......)
