Chapter 961: The End of the Bloody War (3)
In the darkness, Li Xin gathered many generals in the camp of the Chinese army, listened to the reports of everyone, in the first battle, lost 11,000 people, and 4,000 wounded, and only more than 40,000 people could fight, so it can be said that a lot of soldiers and horses were lost.
"I'm ready for a night fight." Li Xin glanced at everyone, and gently spit out a few words in his mouth, and the faces of the generals in the big tent changed.
"Your Majesty, the army is tired, and at this time in the night battle, I am afraid that there will be heavy losses, after all, there is still a Dingxiang City opposite us." Cen Wenwen hurriedly said: "In today's battle, the soldiers fought all day, and some soldiers couldn't even hold the big knife in their hands, if they fought again at night, the losses would be more, and the minister thought that it was better to wait for the news from the general." ”
"What about you? Do you all think so? Li Xin glanced at Wei Chigong and the others, and saw that everyone's faces showed embarrassment, obviously most of them did not agree with Li Xin's attack overnight.
"Look, even if you all think you shouldn't attack tonight, then Jieli will definitely not think of it. Oh, yes! After a day of fighting, the soldiers are already tired, we are like this, and the same is true for Jieli's side, so tonight is the best time to attack. Li Xin stood up, his eyes lit up, and said: "Everyone, after the First World War, the Turks will be decided, such a good thing cannot be met for decades, if we wait until the general comes, the general will definitely attack the Evil Yang Ridge, at that time, how many soldiers and horses do he have left, and the 200,000 army has already reached the sky, after all, they are the attacking side, so we can only threaten the Evil Yang Ridge by forcibly attacking Jieli first and pulling out the nail in front of us." ”
"Your Majesty, give the order! I Lao Cheng is willing to be a pioneer, if it is about fatigue, who has His Majesty tired, His Majesty has charged dozens of times today, and I don't know how many enemies have been killed. Your Majesty doesn't say that he's tired, let alone us. Cheng Yanjin said loudly.
"Please give your Majesty a decree to attack Dingxiang at night." The generals also roared when they heard it, although the officers and soldiers of the three armies were very tired, but Li Xin was not wrong in saying something, that is, even if the Tang army was tired, the army of Jieli Khan must be just as tired, just kill it in one fell swoop and solve the great enemy of the Turks.
"Very well, pick the soldiers now. Always ready for a night attack. Li Xin said loudly. The generals obeyed with a bang.
What Li Xin didn't know was that at the Evil Yang Ridge not far away, the general also made the same decision, he summoned the generals and said: "Now that the war has been carried out to this point, if you want to win, it is not to look at the number of soldiers and horses each, but to look at the will of the army, and you can win by seizing all possible fighters." So I decided to attack Evil Sun Ridge at night. ”
"General, attack at night. Perhaps there will be many casualties? Guo Xiaoke said with some concern.
"The Admiral agrees with the General's decision." Li Xiaogong smiled apologetically at Guo Xiaoke, but said: "At this time, the night battle in Evil Yang Ridge was not only unthought of by ourselves, but also by Ashina Simo. What's more, Ashina Simo must know about Dingxiang, if the other party leaves some soldiers and horses to garrison the Evil Yang Ridge, and leads most of the soldiers and horses back to Dingxiang. Defeating His Majesty's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop can change the situation on the battlefield. Therefore, the last general believes that it is necessary to attack the Evil Sun Ridge immediately. Ashnasimo can't be given time. ”
Li Xiaogong's words made the faces of everyone in the big tent change, if Ashina Simo really did that, the problem would be a big problem. For a while, everyone looked at Li Jing, waiting for Li Xin to make a decision.
"So we must attack Evil Sun Ridge immediately." Li Jing slowly stood up and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Gather the soldiers to attack overnight, and you can't let Ashnasimo escape. For His Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, capture the Evil Yang Ridge. ”
"Datang will win." There was a burst of cheers in the camp.
The cheers under the mountain reached the Evil Yang Ridge, Ashina Simo was dressed in military uniform, and was riding on a war horse, his face suddenly changed, and he said to the soldiers around him: "I'm afraid we can't leave, Li Jing is about to launch an attack on the Evil Yang Ridge, we must block the other party, otherwise, as soon as we walk on the front foot, he will be able to kill on the back foot, and we are not sure to defeat Li Xin in a short time." ”
"Li Jing is really a madman, he actually thinks about fighting at night." The faces of the generals around him changed a lot, and they snorted coldly at the countless torches under the mountain, and in a short period of time, Li Jing began to reorganize his arms for battle.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
At this time, two loud noises suddenly came from the northeast direction, and one after another firelight shone on the sky, reflecting the void, Ashina Simo's complexion suddenly deteriorated, and finally said coldly: "It's all a group of crazy people, Li Xin is surrounded by a group of crazy people, and even he himself is a group of crazy people." He was attacking Dingxiang at night. ”
"It's not that Li Xin fought in Dingxiang today, he came to the battle formation alone, and rushed into battle dozens of times in a row, and the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, why did he attack at night?" The subordinate general beside him couldn't help but say.
"Even you and I didn't think of it, no, even his generals didn't think of it, that's why they attacked at night, this guy is a madman. Khan was out of luck this time. Ashina Simo said with some concern.
"General, the Khan has the protection of Dingxiang City, even if he can't defeat Li Xin, but the defense is still okay, the key is not to let Li Jing unite with him, then the Khan will be even more dangerous." The general looked at the soldiers who rushed up from the bottom of the mountain and said seriously: "As long as it is supported until early in the morning, the enemy will definitely retreat." ”
"It can only be like this, Li Jing already knows the changes in Dingxiang City, and he will definitely attack Evil Yang Ridge frantically."
Sure enough, as soon as Ashina Simo's words fell, there was a shout of killing from the bottom of the mountain, obviously the huge sound of Dingxiang City had reached Li Jing's army, what kind of person Li Jing was, he quickly guessed Li Xin's thoughts, and immediately waved his army to attack Evil Yang Ridge.
In Dingxiang City, Jieli Khan is obviously an afterthought, today's daytime battle, let him see the power of the Tang Dynasty, fighting to the death and not retreating, even Li Xin himself is also brave to kill the enemy, personally on the battlefield, charging into battle, killing countless enemies, even with the morale of the Tang Dynasty soldiers is high, the Turkic warriors killed retreated again and again, and suffered heavy casualties.
originally thought that the two sides would fight again tomorrow, but what he didn't expect was that Li Xin actually attacked overnight, and he didn't know what was going on with the broken Dingxiang city wall, and it was broken in an instant, and Li Xin personally led the army into the city. The Turkic warriors who killed were caught off guard, and rushed into the city hundreds of zhang in an instant, and the fire in Dingxiang City soared into the sky.
Si Jie Qi Jin was terrified, and his face was uneasy, he didn't know what to do, the army had been fighting for a day, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and some soldiers had already fallen asleep, but he didn't expect Li Xin to be so desperate that he would take advantage of this time to kill in the city.
