Chapter 53: The Turkic Countermeasures

Completely solve it for the Turks, this is a nightmare, Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night, destroyed **, and captured Jieli Khan, which is to completely solve the Turks.

Li Jing's night attack on Yinshan Mountain, this is a Turkic nightmare, although he was born 60 years ago, for the Turks it is like he was born yesterday, they are still fresh in their memory, and they can't help but be shocked after listening to the words of Ashid Yuanzhen.

"Are you alarmist?"

"That's it."

Among the ministers, some people did not believe it and asked loudly.

"Nope." Tun Desire Valley took over the conversation and greatly agreed with Ashide Yuanzhen's judgment, and said: "This woman Wu Zetian just wants to completely solve the Great Turks this time, otherwise, how could she dispatch an army of 400,000. That's an army of 400,000. ”

“……”

A one-time dispatch of 400,000 troops, which has never been born in the history of the Tang Dynasty, that is, when Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night, the Tang Dynasty only dispatched more than 100,000. This time, Wu Zetian dispatched 400,000 troops, if it wasn't for the complete solution of the Turks, why did she dispatch so many troops?

The ministers' faces changed drastically, and they no longer dared to question it.

Mo Si was very calm, nodded, and said, "Ben Khan thinks the same. In fact, as long as the law is dealt with, it may not be the hope of the Great Turks. ”

"Hope?" The ministers only had despair, there was no hope, and they were aroused by his words, and they all stared at Mo Si with round eyes, waiting for him to give an answer.

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has not dispatched an army of 400,000 troops, although Wu Zetian is determined to completely solve the Great Turks, how can the warriors of the Great Turks be easy to provoke?" Mo Si was a little excited, and said: "If the Great Turks defeat Wu Zetian's 400,000 army, how much benefit do you say to the Great Turks?" ”

"Defeated?"

"Impossible, right?"

"The Great Turks don't have such a strong strength."

"Don't say 400,000, it's just that in the first battle of Montenegro that year, the Tang Army only dispatched more than 100,000, and the Great Turks were killed and wounded by hundreds of thousands."

The ministers stared at each other with round eyes and a look of disbelief, as if they were listening to the Arabian Nights.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has been fighting with the Turks for so many years, and the Turks have not reaped the benefits. In so many wars, the most proud should be Jieli Khan who took advantage of the change of Xuanwumen of Tang Taizong to ascend the throne, and led an army of more than 100,000 troops to take Weishui directly.

In that battle, although the Turks entered Guanzhong, they did not catch Mao, but only made a "bridge alliance" and reaffirmed the "brotherhood". Jieli Khan wanted to destroy the Tang Dynasty, and finally had to withdraw with "brotherly love", which was a resounding slap in the face.

Moreover, it is better to say that he is retreating, than to escape, because Tang Taizong mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to chase after him from behind, and Tang Taizong's order to the generals was to attack the Turks if they had the opportunity. If Jieli Khan escapes late, he will suffer a great loss.

In a series of major wars after that, the Turks rarely won, such as Li Jing's night attack on Yinshan and the Battle of Montenegro, which caused the Turks to bleed like rivers and accumulate corpses.

It is really difficult to convince the generals that they can defeat the Tang Army.

"How to defeat the Tang Army, we will discuss it later, and Ben Khan will first talk about the benefits of defeating the Tang Army." Mo Si raised his eyebrows, glanced at the ministers, looked at their frightened looks, and said with some displeasure: "The 400,000 army must be the army of the Tang Dynasty, if we can defeat the Tang army, this will be a huge loss for the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will be greatly injured." Since then, the Tang Dynasty has been unable to defend the north, and the Great Turks will seize the opportunity to march and occupy a vast area in the north, and if they get the land and people here, the strength of the Great Turks will increase greatly. ”

"Not bad." Lust Valley and Ashid Yuanzhen echoed in unison.

"It is more likely that the national strength of the Great Turks will exceed that of the Great Turks when they were at their strongest." Mo Si clenched his right hand into a fist and waved it heavily, his face excited.

He didn't mean to exaggerate, but to tell the truth. If the Tang Dynasty really suffered a defeat this time, the Tang Dynasty would definitely be greatly injured, and it would take a long time before it recovered. During this period, the Turks will be able to take advantage of the situation to expand, not only to restore the country, but also to occupy the north, and if they occupy these places, the power of the Turks will skyrocket.

It was precisely because of this that Wu Zetian ignored Wu Sansi's complaint, and issued a strict order to reprimand Wu Sansi fiercely, without showing any mercy.

"After occupying the north, the sword of the Great Turks is aimed at the Central Plains, and the day of entering the Central Plains is not far off." The silence is a little high-pitched, a little shrill and harsh.

Since the rise of the Turks, the Turks have been thinking about entering the Central Plains and serving the Central Plains, but they have not succeeded. If you can really enter the Central Plains and serve the Central Plains, do you still need to think about the benefits?

"Huh." The fear of the ministers was swept away, and they were greatly excited, and there was a burst of laughter.

"Great Khan, how can we defeat the Tang army?" The blueprint drawn by Mo Si is certainly beautiful, but if he can't defeat the Tang army, everything will be in vain.

These words were exactly what the ministers were thinking, all of them were staring at Mo Si with wide eyes, pricking up their ears, and waiting for him to answer.

"What do you two think?" Mo Si didn't answer for the ministers, but asked Ashide Yuanzhen and Tun Desire Valley.

These were the two main plotters of the Turks, and before every battle, Mo Si had to consult them, and this time was no exception.

The ministers were greatly convinced by these two people, and their eyes fell on the two of them with a look of eagerness.

Ashide Yuanzhen and Tunyugu glanced at each other and nodded slightly, Ashide Yuanzhen slowly spoke, and said: "If the Great Turks want to defeat the Tang Army, there is only one way, and that is: drag!" ”

"Drag?" The ministers were surprised for a while.

"That's right! It's dragging. Asid Yuanzhen nodded and explained: "The Tang army is well-trained, well-equipped, advanced in tactics, strict in command, and extremely strong in combat, which is far from being comparable to the Great Turks. The Great Turks could not clash head-on with the Tang army, but had to fight with it, taking advantage of the vastness of the desert to drag the Tang army in the desert. ”

The Tang Army's combat strength is strong because the Tang Army is well-trained, well-equipped, advanced in tactics and tactics, strict in command, and highly mobile.

This has been verified by the Turks in previous wars with blood and bones.

Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night, and Jieli Khan was shocked, leaving behind more than 100,000 troops and fleeing on his own. Why did he panic and flee? That's because he miscalculated. The reason why he misjudged was that the Tang Army's combat strength was amazing.

When Jieli Khan heard that Li Jing had arrived at his lair, he thought that the Tang army should have all arrived, otherwise, how could Li Jing dare to rush into his lair? When the Tang Dynasty army arrived, the Turks couldn't defeat him, so he was afraid, left the army behind, and escaped alone.

If it is a head-on shock, the Tang Dynasty only needs 100,000 troops to crush the army of Mo Si to pieces.

"Good calculation!" Mo Si nodded heavily, appreciatively.

"That's what I thought too." Tun Desire Valley took over the conversation and said: "An army of 400,000 people, people eat horses and chew, and they will empty a mountain in a day, even with the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it will not last long, and it will be clear in a year and a half." As long as we get through and drag him for a year and a half, it will be enough to drag the Tang army down and exhaust it, and then, the Great Turks will seize the opportunity and attack on a large scale, and they will be able to defeat the Tang army. ”

The expenditure of an army of 400,000 is an astronomical amount. If a person eats a horse and chews, he will empty a mountain in a day, that's for sure. Even with the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to support it for a long time, and the Tang Dynasty can still support it for a year and a half, and it is difficult to say for three or two years.

As soon as the Don army was tired, it was an opportunity for the Turks to counterattack.

"Good! You can say that again! The doubts of the ministers dissipated, and in their place they rejoiced, and everyone was greatly excited and applauded in unison.

"The two of you are worthy of being the masterminds of the Great Turks, resourceful and well-planned!" Mo Si also appreciated, and changed his words, "There is only one thing you didn't say, that is, even if it is delayed, it is difficult." ”

"Khan, what do you mean by that?"

"Why did the Khan say such discouragement? The desert is the home of the Great Turkic warriors, and we are familiar with it, and we can advance and retreat freely. ”

Under the joy of the ministers, they thought that it would not be difficult to defeat the Tang army, and their hearts increased sharply, and they did not agree with Mo Si's words.

"It's very simple, because Wang Xiaojie is a generation of famous generals, we can think of using the method of 'dragging' to deal with the Tang army, and Wang Xiaojie can also think of a countermeasure, he will definitely send a large army to encircle, chase and intercept the Great Turks." Mo Si's eyes flashed, and he said: "Wang Xiaojie has an army of 400,000 troops, and he will definitely cause great trouble to the Great Turks. You must remember that if you fight with the Tang Army in the coming spring, you must not fall in love with the war, and once the situation is unfavorable, retreat immediately. ”

As a generation of famous generals, Wang Xiaojie has so much experience in battle formations, he will not fail to see this. He will definitely send a large army to encircle the Turks, and once the Turks are delayed, the Tang Dynasty army will arrive. Once it was arrived by the Tang army, it would fall into the encirclement of the Tang army, which would be a disaster for the Turks.

Therefore, if the situation is not right, retreating immediately has become the best way to deal with it.

"Khan is wise!" The ministers were convinced.

"Hmm." Seeing that the ministers understood their intentions, Mo Si was greatly relieved, and said: "Although Wang Xiaojie has an army of 400,000, fortunately, the Great Turks are not in Yinshan, but on the desert where they can advance and retreat freely, and the warriors of the Great Turks can wave their strengths and defeat the Tang army." ”

Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and wiped out the Turks with an army of more than 100,000 troops, and there was another very important reason, that is, Jieli Khan relied on Yinshan to set up a formation, which was certainly advantageous and disadvantageous. That is, there are only a few passes in Yinshan that can pass through guò, and once the Tang army cuts off the passes, the Turks will not even have a chance to escape.

It is precisely because of this that Li Jing and Xu Mao decided to lead the Tang army to attack head-on, and Xu Mao led the Tang army to cut off the Turkic retreat, which eventually made the Turks have no way to escape and was completely annihilated by the Tang army.

Even Jieli Khan, who hid in Tibet for several months, wanted to escape back to Mobei, but was finally captured by the Tang army.

Nowadays, the Turkic army is mainly gathered in the Inner Mongolia area, which can completely benefit the vastness of the desert and the Tang army. If necessary, the Turks could retreat into Outer Mongolia. With such a convenient space to maneuver, Si Si is full of confidence.
