Chapter 285: A Sneeze (Part 1)
As for the Turks, Li Shimin once described them like this: The Turks are good at riding and shooting, seeing the advantages of the front, knowing the difficulties and leaving, galloping, and not constantly. With bows and arrows as minions, and armor as regular uniforms, the team does not line up, and the camp has no fixed place. Chase water and grass for the living room, take sheep and horses as military food, win and seek wealth, and there is no shame in defeat. There is no night patrol and no cost of building a fortress to feed food.
In a simple sentence, it can be said that the habits of the Turks are vividly analyzed.
In particular, "winning and seeking wealth, and defeating without shame" and the mentality of the Turks are named.
But this time, the defeated Turks were rarely ashamed.
Even if the Turkic soldiers had faces as thick as city walls, they couldn't stand such a humiliation.
The Turkic royal family Ashina Association stood up with a thick neck and shouted: "What the Khan said is right, my Turkic descendants must not disgrace our ancestors. Hundreds of thousands of Turkic warriors let 2,000 cavalry chase their buttocks and kill like sheep. We are wolves, not sheep. This kind of shame can only be washed away with the blood of Luo Shixin. We must not stop there and make fun of the world. ”
Ashina association rate is the son of the Turkic royal family Shibi Khan, and the Turkic Khan's position was originally succeeded by the son of Shibi Khan, but Jieli bullied the Turki and Ashina association rates at that time were not yet minors and stole the Khan's throne. For Jieli, Ashina's association rate is like that of Tuli, who is disgruntled and full of rebellion.
But as a Turkic royal family, Ashina is proud of its Turkic blood and is full of personal nationalism. When Shibi Khan was in power, hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry went south to Yanmen Pass, and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was trapped in it. In the face of the powerful Turks, there is nothing to do.
The young Ashina Association rate boasted to the world: "My father Khan's army is like a wolf, and his enemies are like sheep." "Directly regard the Sui Dynasty as a lamb to be slaughtered and waiting to die.
This idea still exists in the idea of the association rate even now. Although the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, the later Tang Dynasty was like a lamb.
But today, the "lamb" in his eyes is beating them with more than 100,000 "evil wolves" with a crowd of 2,000.
As an ultra-nationalist, how can he stand such humiliation. Even if he was at odds with Jieli, Ashina also stood up and echoed his words at this moment, and Luo Shixin must be taken down.
Ashina Association took the lead. The other khans were also deeply ashamed, and screamed at the top of their throats.
Shame and courage!
Seeing that the leaders of the Turkic Khans were all like being beaten with chicken blood, Jieli nodded with satisfaction. Morale is available.
Thinking of the shame of the last battle, Jieli's eyes were full of bloodthirsty fierceness, and he roared indignantly in his heart: "Luo Shixin, don't pick your skin and cramp." I swear not to be a human being. ”
Rested for the day. Jieli led a group of Turkic soldiers with shame engraved on their faces and roared, and headed south again......
100,000 Turkic iron cavalry, mighty soldiers. The overwhelming flock to the Great Pan Mountain.
As they rubbed their fists, they found that their enemies were long gone.
Facing the empty Tang military camp, Jieli couldn't help but scold: "Luo Shixin, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I'm Ashina Mohe, and I'm not done with you!" ”
His chest heaved and heaved, already anticipating what was to come.
If this fights. If he wins the battle against Luo Shixin, he will be able to wash away the shame. Back to the prairie. It can also be explained to thousands of Turkic people. His strength is the strongest in the grassland, as long as the people obey him and do not betray his relatives, he has the confidence to sweep away those who are not convinced, and sit firmly on his throne as the king of the Turkic Khan.
But Luo Shixin avoided and did not fight, so he lost the opportunity to wash away his hatred? Shame is forever engraved on him.
The Turks believed in the strong, and the Turkic Han king must also be a strong man: he had the personal strength to serve the people, the military strength to serve the people, the prestige to serve the people, and the intelligence to serve the people.
Jieli used this qiē to snatch the throne of the Khan from his two nephews, and he has sat firmly to this day.
He thought that he could continue to be strong, but the appearance of Luo Shixin made his prestige provoked by Yan zhòng.
One loss, two losses, three losses......
Especially the third time!
On that occasion, Luo Shixin single-handedly retreated his army of 100,000 and lost face in front of all the Turks.
Frequent defeats made the Turks feel distrustful of their Khan king.
The Turks are not monolithic, and there are disagreements within the Turks, not to mention those peoples who are dependent on the Turks and do not belong to the Turks.
This time he lost even more, and he couldn't explain to the Turkic people when he went back.
Now he can imagine what he will face when he returns to the grasslands.
Jieli was full of remorse, and suddenly his expression moved, he couldn't take revenge on Luo Shixin, and he could win a heavy victory, which could also enhance his prestige. As long as Li Yuan is captured or killed as originally planned, he can also consolidate his prestige. Is Li Yuan's value much higher than that of Luo Shixin?
This Luo Shixin ran away in fear of war, isn't it just in harmony?
"Haha!" Jieli laughed loudly and said, "It's just Luo Shixin, in my opinion, it's just that. Possess the trick and outdo us. When we were ready, we grabbed our tails and hid in the crotch of our mother's pants. He raised his whip and said in a loud voice: "Just let him continue to hide, let's continue to go south, capture the emperor of the Central Plains people to our grassland, and let him dance for our grassland warriors!" ”
Jieli was able to become the king of the Turkic Khan, and this demagogic word was still extremely tempting.
Let the emperor of the Central Plains dance for them, just thinking about it makes the blood boil!
The shouts of "huhahahaha" sounded, and hundreds of thousands of troops marched again and marched south vigorously......
But before they could travel a hundred miles, a wide river appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
"What's going on?"
Jieli was dumbfounded, he had already asked the scout to cross the way. As shown on the map, from the clouds in Shuofang, go straight south, pass through Yanzhou, and enter Fangzhou with Luoshui in the eyes, you can reach the Phoenix Valley of Yuhua Mountain.
This is the nearest road, and there is no zài to obstruct the way to the river......
But in front of them, a river with a width of nearly eighty paces did appear, and the murky water of unknown depth flowed from west to east.
An ominous premonition once again appeared in Jieli's heart, and he hurriedly took out the map and checked it.
The river that appeared in front of them was shown on the map as the Hulu River, but the Hulu River bed was narrow and tortuous, named after the shape of a gourd, and it was a diving river that could be crossed, so why did it suddenly become wider and deeper?
That's when it happened!
The person Jieli hated and didn't want to see the most appeared on the other side of the Hulu River!
Luo Shixin!
Luo Shixin led thousands of Tang troops, from far and near, to the south bank of the Hulu River.
"It's so slow!" Luo Shixin yawned and said with a sleepy expression: "When you all have to wait to fall asleep, don't you want revenge?" I'm waiting here, and I've got the ability to come and beat me! Give me a pick-me-up......"
He looked like he was underbeaten, and he was on the opposite side of the provocateur.
Because of the disparity in strength, Luo Shixin did not expect to be able to stop the 150,000 cavalry of the Turks with 20,000 soldiers and horses at the beginning.
If you want to block an enemy who is several times larger than you in the face of a huge disparity in strength, the only way is to take advantage of the terrain.
Luo Shixin's first thought was the same, how to use the land to trap the Turkic army.
The Hulu River appeared in his eyes at this time, the northeast section of the Hulu River has the Danxia landform, the north is high and the south is low, the east is high and the west is low, the river terraces are developed, the riverbed is meandering, the width is very different, the shape is like a gourd, and the terrain and landform are extremely complex.
The Hulu River originates at the southern foot of Moon Mountain, and staggered into a number of tributaries along the way, including Malian River, Tangjia River, Cross Road River, Haoshui River, Chongqing River, Luoshui River, etc., and also feeds the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in the north. Because there are too many tributaries, the Hulu River can be crossed lightly due to the complex terrain.
Luo Shixin noticed this, personally explored the Hulu River, and called on the local people, the army and the people to block all the tributary mouths, and merge the water left at the southern foot of the Moon Mountain into this tributary of the Hulu River.
Luo Shixin is now the chief of the Guannai Provincial March, and the real power in his hands is extremely terrifying, and he can mobilize the local military and civilians.
The reason why Luo Shixin chose to face the Turks at Dapan Mountain was to confuse the Turks and make Jieli think that he would choose to defend the military stronghold of Dapan Mountain, and second, even if he could call on the people and soldiers to surround the tributary mouth, it would take time to earn them some time.
In the battle of Dapan Mountain, Luo Shixin defeated the Turks with the weak, and won more than a day of rest. During this period, local soldiers and civilians have also blocked the inflow of branches, causing the water level of the Hulu River to rise. This lacks the apportionment of multiple tributaries, and the water level of the Hulu River suddenly rises by as much as one meter, and it has become turbulent and turbulent, and people and horses cannot cross.
This gourd river runs through the east and west, directly converging with the north-south Luoshui, and flowing into the Weishui together, forming an inclined V-shape, and the Turks are at the sharp corners of the V-shape. It was impossible for them to rush to Phoenix Valley in a short time to attack Li Yuan. Unless they can grow a pair of wings and fly over the gourd water, they can only choose to take a long detour without a boat.
They have to delay for another ten days and eight days, can Luo Yi and Yang Wengan survive for so long under Li Shimin's attack?
Looking at the gourd river in front of him, Jieli knew that he had failed again!
Luo Shixin is like his nemesis, calculating ahead of him, one step ahead of him.
Luo Shixin's eyes were excellent, looking at Jieli's ever-changing face on the other side, his heart was happy, but it was not enough.
The bullying is not thorough enough.
Luo Shixin first tilted his head:
"Ah......hh Ahh ”
I sneezed heavily on both sides of the Hulu River, this force was too strong, the snot did not come out, and the saliva was a little disgusting.
Luo Shixin wiped his mouth embarrassedly and hooked his hand behind him.
Su Dingfang, who was behind him, sent the rag up very interestingly.
The rag was a little high-class, a little large, made of fine wolf hair, and embroidered with a roaring wave in the center......
Symbol of the Turkic Khan...... Wolf's head. (To be continued......)
