Chapter 170: Huaiyuan Battle [Fifth Update]

Ashina Hao naturally knew about the arrival of Meng Yifei's army, but he didn't immediately open the city gate to compete with Meng Yifei, because he was on guard against that Shi Danai.

Just as Meng Yifei thought, Ashina Hao focused the battle of Scorpion Mouth and the battle of Yongning on Shi Danai. Shi Danai killed the night wolf, and Shi Danai surrounded Wei to save Zhao. His various behaviors made Ashina Hao think that he was a terrible person.

He didn't know if Shi Danai would suddenly appear and sneak attack from behind, so since the princess had brought the Sky Wolf Cavalry Regiment, then he waited for the personal guard regiment that belonged to the princess.

And before that, he just needs to keep Huaiyuan.

However, Ashina didn't know that Meng Yifei was also waiting, and he was also waiting for reinforcements. With such a big Huaiyuan battlefield, he wants to play the most overwhelming victory.

Battles cannot be unprovoked, and once they do, they will be killed and wounded innumerably, resulting in irreparable killings. Before this, Meng Yifei actually passed a letter with Ashina Hao, asking to sit down and negotiate.

However, negotiations between the two sides broke down over the most fundamental territorial relationship. Ashina Hao can let go of the eldest grandson Shunde, but ask Meng Yifei to exchange them for Yongning. Obviously, this battle is inevitable.

Two days later, reinforcements from both sides had arrived.

The Turkic reinforcements are the pearl of the Turkic Luo Khan, Ashina Bao'er.

Chu Luo Khan, he is equivalent to Liu Long of the Han Dynasty, and he has not been on the throne of the Eastern Turks for two years, so there is very little information about him.

And his daughter, Ashina Bao'er, is even more unknown.

However, under his banner there was a legion of celestial wolves, and the Khan of Churo doted on this woman so much that he gave this legion to his little princess. This legion is full of Turkic warriors who are brave and good at fighting. There were only 5,000 of them, but their combat strength was equivalent to 50,000. Although it can't compare to Ashinahao's Netherwolf Cavalry, at this time, 50,000 people of combat power came, plus 70,000 horses and a Netherwolf Cavalry group equivalent to 10,000 combat power. Counting the whole thing, there are still 130,000 combat strength.

On Meng Yifei's side, in addition to their 80,000, Lingwu only had 40,000 horses brought by Chai Shao and Shi Danai, adding up to only 120,000 troops, which was not enough compared to Ashinahao.

Of course, Meng Yifei didn't know that Ashina Hao had reinforcements, so he thought that he had the chance to win.

Both sides had a tacit understanding and rested for another day. Because the reinforcements are to rest. None of them knew that the other party had reinforcements, so they all had their own little calculations.

At night, the mountains are high and the wind is fierce. In the summer days, mosquitoes began to appear, especially in the mountain col, and the Tang Army was bitten miserably.

Fortunately, Meng Yifei had been prepared, and before that, he had discovered that there would be mosquitoes in the col, so he found a lot of herbs to repel mosquitoes. In the end, he found a lot of wormwood, wild peppercorns, and nightshade on the mountains, all of which have a good mosquito repellent effect.

Wormwood and peppercorns are smoked to repel mosquitoes, and nightshade does not need to do anything at all, its fragrance is the best way to repel mosquitoes.

The soldiers were very happy when they got the recipe from Yifei. And I am also very grateful to Meng Yifei.

"Thank you so much, if it weren't for the help of Vice General Wang, the soldiers would have been hurt by that little bug." Duan Zhixuan led the two generals to find Meng Yifei, who was lighting wormwood for the soldiers.

Yi Fei heard a familiar voice coming from behind him, and immediately got up and looked back: "General Duan, oh, and General Shi." Then this must be General Chai Shaoyi! ”

Yi Fei looked at the three generals, Shi Danai was familiar when he arrived, with a big face and a beard, and Linglong called him a big beard. And Duan Zhixuan, dressed in general armor, has some characteristics that the nasolabial folds when he laughs are particularly obvious, which may be because of his big nose, or it may be that he is really old.

Of course, there is also Chai Shao, who has never met.

Chai Shao looks to be in his thirties, and he is middle-aged, his hair is thinned to the top of his head, and then he wears it high with a crown, and at first glance, he is a little stunned. This is not as direct as a bald head, coupled with big round eyes, slightly sunken, round face, and some posture. This look, it really should be Linglong to use her thousand-face disguise technique to have a good plastic surgery. I don't know how to dress up.

Chai Shao listened to Meng Yifei's words, and said respectfully: "I heard from the two generals, Vice General Wang is very capable, I have written to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a word, what I need in Datang is a talented person like Vice General Wang, as long as the Lingzhou Turks are pacified, Vice General Wang will have a bright future in the future!" So, please Vice General Wang boldly show his talent! ”

"Your Majesty has raised love and served the country loyally, which is our mission as a subordinate. Even if Your Majesty doesn't say so, I, Wang Falcon, will show my ability to defend the country and defend the frontier. ”

"Well, well said. General Duan also said, this battle is for you to command, and I have also decided to put my Lingwu army under your command. ”

"And me, I have seen the talents of Vice General Wang all the way, and I don't dare to say anything else, this brain, he just turns to see it better than others, so tomorrow, the 30,000 troops brought by my old history will be commanded by you."

"This ......" Meng Yifei was flattered, he didn't expect that the three generals would hand over the 120,000 army to him at the same time. This is no small matter, and it is clear that they have all discussed it.

And this time, they told Emperor Li Yuan directly about their merits, bypassing Li Shimin's eyes, so that they would not be under any more pressure. Just give it a go.

"Okay, the kid will not disappoint the three generals. In this battle, I will definitely let Ashina Hao withdraw to Helan Mountain. ”

After listening to Yifei's bold words, the three of them were also relieved.

"Okay, the three of us will go to rest first, there is a tough battle to fight tomorrow. The three of us went into battle in person, and we will definitely let that stinky boy know that the sword is not old. Hahahaha! ”

After Duan Zhixuan finished speaking, he laughed, and his nasolabial folds became deeper and deeper. Afterwards, he returned to their respective tents with Chai Shao and Shi Danai.

Seeing this, Yifei also smiled. These three people trust him very much, and here, at least, it is better than under Li Shimin. Then, he went on to get mosquito repellent herbs for the soldiers.

At the same time, in Huaiyuan City, in the courtyard where the princess was resting, the Danna agent with a special mission was writing a letter to the Khan in the house.

Suddenly, a dart shot through the window, and before the agent could finish writing, he fell. Dart in the throat, dead and blind.

Then, a pair of feet slowly walked into the room, saw the unfinished letter, and then placed it on the candle on the table, and burned it to ashes. Break into the house, kill people, and the guards in charge of protecting the princess have not yet found out.

When she left, the princess was still in the next room, sleeping soundly. It all happens silently.

The dart is the dart of the Central Plains.

This was the only clue that the man had deliberately left behind. It was to blame him on the Han Chinese. For this reason, he also deliberately killed ten Turkic soldiers who were in charge of the sentry post on the city tower. This murder incident was made into an incident in which the Tang army entered Huaiyuan, assassinated the princess, and killed the secret service by mistake.

When he had done all this, the man disappeared into the night.

……

On the second day, both sides will rise up and will have different situations.

Meng Yifei began to set up a formation in the Huaiyuan Plain under the mountains early in the morning. From time to time, there was a roar, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the Turks in Huaiyuan City were terrified.

And Huaiyuan City is a mess at the moment.

The little princess of the Turks looks like a little girl who has just come of age. Dressed in Turkic riding clothes, she was going to watch the battle today. The long jet-black hair was tied with a few dexterous pigtails, and the delicate head ring was tied with a few fluffy white balls. The wolf tooth necklace, a symbol of the clan ornament, hangs on the chest and rests on the newly developed breast. A sky-blue riding outfit with furry hems, a short skirt and a gold pendant. When it shakes, it will also jingle the bell.

Look at her face again, her face is like an egg, and her skin is like the smooth protein of the egg shelled, and her eyebrow bangs are very futuristic, isn't that a hairstyle for beauties? Under the long eyelashes, there are a pair of smart eyes, and two sky-blue eyes, like crystal clear sapphires. There is also a smart nose, and it has a cute appearance. The well-behaved thin lips and small mouth are also painted with a little Zhongyuan red.

But it was such a little beauty of the other race who would have a small dimple on her face when she laughed, but when she got up early in the morning, she frowned, was not angry, and looked at the dead corpse of the secret service who came with her, without any words, and all the words were said by Ashinahao.

She believed in Ashinahao, and believed in what she said about the Tang Army assassin. So, there was a hint of anger in her eyes, and she wanted revenge. And Ashina Hao easily borrowed the princess's five thousand heavenly wolf regiment in this way.

With these five thousand heavenly wolf groups, he finally had no fear. Not only did he get rid of the secret service, but he also controlled such a powerful army, he came to the head of the city, opened the gates of the city, and began to arrange the army as well.

It was a rare battle, and perhaps most likely the largest battle of the Tang Dynasty, with a total of around 200,000 troops on both sides. On the vast plain, almost all of them were human figures, and the black pressure was not really enough.

And it was the first time that Yi Fei commanded such a huge army, and the maximum he commanded before was only 30,000. This time, even if he stood on the top of a fifty-meter-high mountain, he couldn't see the end of the crowd, and he could only climb to the top of the ten-meter-high watchtower, but he still couldn't see clearly.

Not only Yifei, but Ashina couldn't see the people standing on the far left and the far right clearly, because there were so many that such a huge army could no longer be controlled. There are hundreds of phalanxes.

And such a grand battle depends on how they operate at once. Because it is too large, the formation and tactics can only be arranged once, and when the big war begins, then there will be no possibility of operation.

And in the vast sea of people, the two sides confronted each other, and the next moment, the battle was about to break out. (To be continued.) )
