Chapter 81: LONGi gets in the way

"Rumble!" The earth-shattering sound of hooves shook the ground and trembled, this was the Tang army under the leadership of Wang Xiaojie galloping in the desert, where the horses' hooves were stepping, and the soil was splashing.

Wang Xiaojie rode on the steed, his brows furrowed.

"Marshal, what's the matter with you?" Tang Xiujing rode on a horse and walked side by side with Wang Xiaojie.

"Tang Xiujing, have you noticed that so far, our armies have not been able to achieve much success, which shows that the Turks are retreating north very quickly, and the situation is not good." Wang Xiaojie was very worried.

There are constant reports from various armies, and although there are occasional gains, in general, the results are not great, which is a very serious problem, which shows that the Turks retreated very quickly.

"I noticed." Tang Xiujing's brows furrowed, and he said: "The desert is empty, the Turks are retreating northward, we have to pursue, it is difficult to make a difference, this is also reasonable." ”

The desert is empty and boundless, there is no dangerous terrain that can be used, and the Turks want to escape, which will be very smooth. It is very difficult for the Tang army to pursue, and this result is indeed reasonable.

"Although what you said is true, there is one point that you ignore." Wang Xiaojie shook his head and said, "If the Turks want to return to Mobei, they must go through thousands of miles of desperate territory. Thousands of miles of the territory is not easy to pass, even the Turks cannot act alone, they must be concentrated, what we have to find now is where the Turks returned to Mobei. ”

"Yes, yes." Tang Xiujing greatly agreed with this, and said: "Think about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, for the decisive battle of Mobei, he dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, and suffered heavy casualties when he passed through thousands of miles of desperate territory. If the Turks want to return to Mobei, this thousand-mile peerless region is a huge difficulty, and it must be concentrated. Act together. Otherwise. There will be big trouble. Even if it's a big tribe. No, it doesn't. ”

After a slight pause, he asked, "Dashuai, where do you think the Turks will return to Mobei from?" ”

"The best way back to Mobei is from the Yinshan Pass." Wang Xiaojie groaned and said: "As long as these passes are cleared and these passes are guarded, the Turks will be foolproof, and we can't do anything about it." It's just that these passes have been controlled for us. The Turks could not retreat north from these passes. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows and said: "If the Turks want to retreat north, they must go from the east, and there are several places here, and the most suitable one is the moraine." ”

"Moraine? Isn't that where Jieli was captured? Tang Xiujing's eyes lit up and said, "This is indeed the most suitable place." One is because the moraine is the closest location, the second is that it will be much less difficult to enter the Thousand Miles Absolute Domain from here, and the third is because we are chasing closely, and the Turks need more time to enter the Thousand Miles Absolute Domain from other places. A bad one will be caught up by us. ”

Tang Xiujing is worthy of being a good general, and his analysis is very reasonable. This time, the Tang Dynasty wanted to completely solve the Turks. The Turks will never be allowed to flee back, under the command of Wang Xiaojie, hundreds of thousands of troops will chase after them from behind, and if they are not good, they will be caught up by the Tang army. Once caught up by the Tang army, the Turks will inevitably be finished. Therefore, when the Turks retreated northward, they must choose the nearest location, which is none other than the moraine.

"I have chosen and chosen, and no army has been able to reach the moraine first." Wang Xiaojie's brows were tightened tightly, turning into a Sichuan character, and he said worriedly.

Even if it is judged that the location of the Turkic retreat to the north is a moraine, and there is no Tang army to block it, it is in vain.

"No!" Tang Xiujing shook his head and said, "The King of Chu is in Black Sand City, and it is best for the King of Chu to block it." ”

"King Chu? No way. Wang Xiaojie shook his head and said: "The king of Chu came out of Heisha City, and although it is appropriate to rush to the moraine, it is dangerous, in case something goes wrong, how can I explain to His Majesty?" ”

Tang Xiujing opened his mouth, was stunned for a long time, was a little speechless, and said, "Yes." If the Turks want to retreat north from the moraine, their large army must have been gathered here. Not to mention, there is also the elite of the headquarters of Mo Si, how can he stop the Turks with the 20,000 horses of the King of Chu? Mo Si only needs to send the elite of his headquarters, set up a dignified array, and fight a war of attrition with the king of Chu, and within a day, the king of Chu will be wiped out. ”

The tone turned high, and he said: "There are a lot of strong crossbows in the elite of the Mo Si headquarters, and you can put out a crossbow array!" In front of the crossbow array, flesh and blood are in vain. ”

The lethality of the crossbow array is very amazing, if there is no crossbow array, Li Longji still has hope to block the Turks. There are many strong crossbows in the elite of the Mosi headquarters, and it is destined that Li Longji will not be able to block the Turks.

If Li Longji really fights with the elite of the Mo Si headquarters, not to mention whether he can block it, he is likely to put himself in it.

"Marshal, why don't you send troops to reinforce you?" Tang Xiujing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was busy coming up with ideas.

Wang Xiaojie shook his head and said, "I've thought about this problem, but it's a pity that there is no army that can rush to the mouth of the moraine, and it is impossible to give strong support to the king of Chu." With the little men and horses of the king of Chu, it would be good to be able to hold off the Turks for a day, and our reinforcements could not arrive in a day anyway. ”

With hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and the elite of his well-equipped headquarters, Li Longji's few men and horses can block a day, which is a miracle, maybe the whole army will be wiped out in half a day.

If the elite of the Mosi headquarters didn't have so many strong crossbows, Li Longji would be able to block it in three or two days. It's a pity that the elite of the Mosi headquarters has a large number of strong crossbows, which is destined to make it impossible for Li Longji to block the Turks.

"Marshal, the military report of the King of Chu." At this moment, a cronie came quickly and presented the military report.

Wang Xiaojie snatched it over, unfolded it and took a look, his face changed greatly, his body shook for a while, and he almost fell off the horse.

"Dashuai, what's wrong?" Tang Xiujing was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"It's over, the King of Chu is finished." Wang Xiaojie's face was dead gray, and he looked depressed, and said: "The king of Chu led the army to the moraine!" ”

"What? The king of Chu went to the moraine? Tang Xiujing didn't sit down and almost fell off the horse.

"The little bit of the King of Chu, when he encounters the elite of the Mosi headquarters, is not all the army wiped out?" Wang Xiaojie couldn't help beating his chest and said, "How can I explain to His Majesty?" ”

Li Longji is Wu Zetian's own grandson and Li Dan's third son, he has a problem, and Wang Xiaojie can't make a difference.

"Dashuai, you gave an order to the king of Chu and asked him not to go to the moraine." Tang Xiujing hurriedly reminded.

"No, I can't. The things that the King of Chu decided were difficult to change. Wang Xiaojie knows Li Longji very well, and knows Li Longji's temperament very well, once Li Longji identifies it. Nine cows couldn't pull it back.

"What then?" Tang Xiujing is out of line.

"Herald: In addition to the large army that occupies a few places where the Turks fled north. The rest of the fire rushed to the moraine! It's running and breaking a leg. Tired horses, but also arrive as fast as possible! Violators, behead! Wang Xiaojie's eyes sparkled, and he said, "I hope it's too late!" ”

"Yu Khan, now a Tang army is heading towards the moraine." A guard galloped in, sobbing silently.

"What? Did the Tang army go to the moraine? Mo Si, who was galloping, almost fell off the horse, his face changed drastically, and his face was frightened.

The moraine was a necessary place for the Turks to flee north. If the Tang army arrives first, it will be troublesome. Once entangled by the Tang army, the Tang Dynasty army arrived, and the consequences were unimaginable.

"How many Tang troops are there? 50,000 or 100,000? Mo Si asked hurriedly.

"Khan, not much, only 20,000 people." The guards were busy reporting.

"Twenty thousand? That's great! Mo Si's worries disappeared, and he sneered on his face, and said: "There are only 20,000 people, and they also want to stop Ben Khan, it's ridiculous!" ”

He has hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal. There are also well-equipped elites of the headquarters, and he really didn't pay attention to the 20,000 Tang Army.

"Khan. This is Li Longji's army. The guard was a little frightened and said, "This is the most capable Tang army since the beginning of the Great War." ”

"What? Li Longji's army? Mo Si looked resentful, and said hatefully: "Li Longji, Li Longji, you are killing yourself!" Even with your mere 20,000 troops, you want to stop Ben Khan, ridiculous! ”

"Haha!" Suddenly, he looked up to the sky, laughed wildly, and said: "Li Longji, Li Longji, Ben Khan is looking for you to take revenge, and you will die by yourself, and Ben Khan will fulfill your will to die!" ”

Mo Si hated Li Longji very much, and he couldn't wait to break Li Longji's body into pieces. originally thought that he would have no chance to take revenge, but he didn't expect that Li Longji himself sent it to the door, and he had to rejoice.

"Let's go! Go to the moraine! "Patted the horse's back and galloped away.

"Rumble!" The elite of the headquarters followed, and the black pressure was like the tide of the sea.

"King Chu, the moraine has arrived." Zhang Shuo gasped and reported to Li Longji.

"Arrived?" Li Longji's face was tired, and he couldn't stop panting.

Coming out of Heisha City, the Tang army marched continuously without rest, even if it was eating and drinking, it was solved on horseback. If you want to sleep, you have to sleep on horseback, and you can tie yourself up with a rope.

During this journey of thousands of miles, the Tang army only dismounted twice a day when solving the internal emergency problem.

With such a high-intensity march, even the iron man will be tired.

Li Longji looked forward and saw a pass come into view. This pass is more than 30 miles wide and is flanked by mountains.

As long as you pass through this pass, you will enter the Thousand Miles Absolute Domain.

This is the moraine.

"King Chu, there are trees and stones on the mountains on both sides, we can set up a fence in the narrowest place, and we will not be afraid of the Turks." Chen Xuanli gasped and came up with an idea.

"Great idea!" Everyone praised in unison.

It's definitely a good idea. As long as the Tang army sets up a fence, there is no need to be afraid of strong crossbows. Although the strong crossbow is powerful, it is helpless. With the protection of the walled fence, it is inevitable that the Tang army will block the Turks.

"Rumble!" At this moment, I heard an earth-shattering hoof sound from behind, and a huge dark cloud was about to drift to the ground.

"The Turks are coming!" Li Longji's heart sank.

"This ...... The Turks are coming too fast, right? Zhang said that his heart sank straight down.

As soon as the Tang army arrived at the moraine, the Turks arrived, and the Tang army did not even have a chance to breathe, let alone set up a fence. There was no fence, and if the Turks shot with crossbow arrays, the Tang army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

"What can I do?" Chen Xuanli's face changed greatly.

Chen Xuanli had slept in the pile of dead people, bathed in blood, and had great courage, so it was not easy for his face to change greatly. But the situation was so shocking that he had to be shocked.

"Hey!" Xue Zhi and Zhang Xiaofei all had ugly faces and unwillingness.

The Tang army didn't need much time, only half a day, and it was able to complete the fence in a hurry.

"Forward. Meet the enemy at the narrowest point of the pass. Li Longji made a quick decision.

The entrance thirty miles wide could not be completely occupied by the Tang army, and the Turks could completely surround the Tang army and then pass through the Guò Pass. It is necessary to go to the narrowest part of the pass.

The Tang army continued to advance, and soon reached the narrowest part of the pass, almost ten miles wide. (To be continued......)
