Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Tang Army Descends from Heaven
Su Dingfang, as one of the few cavalry generals in this era, is extremely good at grasping the battle situation and using cavalry.
Because of the pressure from Luo Shixin, the Turks concentrated their forces on the front line.
The rear is full of holes, and there is no reason why Su Dingfang can't grasp this God-given opportunity: the 8,000 cavalry directly broke into the Turkic camp from the rear of the Turkic defense with a crushing force, and crushed the Turkic western camp at the best time, as if entering a no-man's land.
If you make a wrong move, you can lose the whole game, not to mention that the Turks are now making a wrong step.
The battle has reached this point, there is no need for any formation tactics and tactics at all, under the fierce and fierce killing of the Tang army, a stick of incense has less time, and the dead corpses of the Turks are piled up everywhere. The people who rushed to kill on the battlefield were all red-eyed Tang troops who only cared about slashing and killing with knives.
Under the flanking attacks of Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang, the Turkic soldiers of the Western Battalion were already crushed.
The two also converged in the Turkic Western Camp and continued to wield the Blade of Death in each other's hands. Until it was nearly dawn, the sound of the golden gong came from the slope of the moraine.
Luo Shixincai and Su Dingfang went up the moraine slope together.
The offensive and defensive battle of Mokoupo ended at dawn, and the Tang army lost more than 1,500 casualties, and more than 4,000 were seriously and lightly wounded, all of whom were wounded by their predecessors. They fought fiercely all night, killing more than 18,000 enemies, and wounding more than one count. The entire meadow of the western Turkic camp was dyed red with blood, and the pungent smell of blood did not disperse for many days.
Turkic Western Battalion!
Jie Litie blushed and walked on the red grass. Smelling the pungent smell, I watched the corpses of the Turkic soldiers leaning on their feet and their feet next to their heads. It was spread all over the ground, and tears could not help but fall from his eyes: these were the soldiers of his king's tent, the warriors he really relied on, and now they were all cold corpses that could not speak.
Zhao Deyan's face was pale and he couldn't say a word.
Luo Yi's eyes revealed fear: he couldn't imagine that this would be like this, and he couldn't imagine that this night battle would be so tragic.
Kang Sumi came naked in front of Jieli. Kneeled down.
"Why?" Jieli's voice was hoarse, and his tone was full of anger and trembling, "Luo Shixin is really so irresistible. Who can sue me for why? They have more than 20,000, and you have 25,000. You have an advantage in numbers, and you are defending instead of attacking in shape, how can it be. How could you lose so badly. He still can't believe that the entire right battalion was defeated by Luo Shixin in this battle.
Is it really impossible for Luo Shixin to be defeated?
Jieli thought about his series of failures at the hands of Luo Shixin. His face became more and more ugly.
A trace of horror flashed in Kang Sumi's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "I can't stop it, I really can't do anything." I desperately dragged the evil spirit and asked me to withdraw to block the Tang army. I arranged a qiē properly, but the Tang army killed us from behind, and we were not guarded behind us at all. At this time, the evil spirit also saw the opportunity and killed ...... from the front," he said. A fiery shadow appeared in his eyes, and the scene resurfaced: a fiery red shadow swooped down from the mountain. The speed is like a lightning flash. Their arrows seemed to be blocked by an invisible air current, and when they came within a distance of more than a kilometer around him, they fell to the ground one by one, hurting him in the slightest. The red shadow came in front of them from an arrow away, and in just a few breaths, it directly crossed the antlers they had arranged, and completely routed the archers they had placed behind the antlers.
Jieli, Zhao Deyan, and Luo Yi heard this, and they still didn't understand where they really failed? From the very beginning, they fell for Luo Shixin's tricks, thinking that all the Tang troops were stationed at the moraine, but they didn't think that Luo Shixin had already divided a response force, and they didn't notice it.
That's the real reason why they lost so completely.
They attach so much importance to Roesson that they regard him as the most powerful opponent to the point of ignoring anything other than Roshison. In the end, what they ignored gave them a fatal blow at this critical time.
After being silent for a long time, Jie Li suddenly asked, "What about the stubbornness?" Did he come back? ”
Kang Sumi shook his head wordlessly.
Jieli's body shook and returned to the big tent in the army without saying a word!
"Gather all the soldiers and horses, bring me all the planks and blocks of the hereafter, and bring 20,000 soldiers from the Khan's court."
This return to the Turkic tent, Jieli issued a series of appointments.
Zhao Deyan lost his voice and said: "King Khan, why are you doing this? ”
Jieli pressed his hands on the desk suddenly, and the parchment rolls on the desk jumped up: "Hit!" From now on, don't talk to me about any clever plans to break the enemy. It's all fucking bullshit, none of us can compare to the cunning Central Plains people in this regard, we are not this piece of material. Since it can't be compared, then it is not compared. Just one word 'hit', either I Luo Shixin died, or I died in Jieli, it's as simple as that. If resourcefulness doesn't work, we'll do it. ”
Just when he felt that the force was coming, just when he was preparing all kinds of weapons to resist the crossbows, Jieli suddenly received an urgent military situation from the east.
Li Shiji appeared to the east, two hundred miles away from their Khan Court.
Jieli was dumbfounded, he only got the news that Li Shiji had captured Dingxiang City some time ago, why did he appear directly near their Khan Court without a word?
What is this possible?
Jieli directly bumped into the case table in front of him, snatched the military intelligence over and looked at it carefully, his face was as dead as ashes.
Luo Shixin's speed is unrestrained, and Li Shiji's speed is fast and ghostly.
Dingxiang is the largest city on the steppe and has always been the center of gravity of Turkic development. Many years ago, Jieli even had the idea of occupying Dingxiang as the capital and establishing a Turkic khanate. In the end, I received a boycott and had to give up. However, under the mention of Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, Jieli established Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Yang Guang who was rescued from the Sui Dynasty, as the emperor, set up the capital of Dingxiang, developed Dingxiang, and arranged many Turkic people and plundered Han people to live in Dingxiang City. And he built a tooth tent near Dingxiang to control zhì Dingxiang.
However, the rise of the Tang Dynasty forced Jieli to move his tent to the depths of Monan, and the descendants of Yang Zhengdao and Yang Sui also moved to Monan.
Dingxiang also lived up to the prosperity of the past, but because of Jieli's intentions in the past, the Turkic Han people in Dingxiang City lived with each other, and they did not move together. Until Dingxiang let Li Shiji break through, tens of thousands of people fled.
Li Shiji planted 6,000 people to pretend to be ordinary people, blended into the crowd of fleeing, and broke into the rear of the Turks in a grand manner.
Li Shiji made the illusion of a battalion step by step, slowly marched into the army, and as soon as the time was ripe, he directly ran five hundred miles day and night, defeating the largest tribe in the east, the Asid tribe, of course, as long as the hero was the 6,000 strange soldiers.
The Asid tribe was defeated, and the small and medium-sized tribes around it were simply not enough to resist Li Shiji's army, so they either chose to surrender or flee.
After defeating the Ashid tribe, the right-flank army led by Li Shiji approached the Turkic Khan's court.
"Smack!"
The battle report fell to the ground.
Jieli couldn't help but take a few steps back, stumbled under his feet, and sat on the bed with his buttocks, his face pale and bloodless, "It's over, it's all over." ”
Li Shiji was only one hundred and fifty miles away from the Turkic Khan's court, and it would take at most one day to attack the Khan's court, and it would take two days to support Luo Shixin, no matter how Li Shiji chose, they were at a loss and unable to deal with it.
Seeing that Jieli was like this, Zhao Deyan stepped forward uneasily to pick up the battle report, and after reading it, his face was also colorless.
"Khan Khan King......" Zhao Deyan's voice trembled a little, their situation was already critical.
"It's okay, it's okay! There are no problems with our right flankers...... Not long ago, we got the latest news from the young master. Ashina Sheer contained Li Jing in Wuyuan City, the Tang army only came in two ways, Li Shiji had 40,000 soldiers, plus Luo Shixin's, plus those traitors, that is, 80,000 or 90,000. We still have 120,000 troops, and we still have the advantage in troops, and we are not to the point of despair. ”
Zhao Deyan said in a panic, "Luo Shixin is now on this moraine slope, we can't help him, but as long as they break down, on the grassland, on the plain, they must, they must not be our opponents." ”
Zhao Deyan himself was a little confused, but he endured the shock and horror in his heart, and said some words to comfort Jieli and comfort himself.
If others heard his comfort, it would only become more chaotic. But Jieli is different, Jieli is the king of the Turkic Khan after all, and he has a certain amount of courage.
Although he was shocked for a while when Li Shiji's army approached, when he saw Zhao Deyan's appearance, he realized that if they were all like this as the superiors, what hope did the soldiers have?
If all the Turkic tribes know that their Khan King, the Khan's most powerful arm, is not good to say if he is frightened by the news of the Tang Army, what hope is there there?
Jieli understood this and shouted: "Calm down, we have not yet reached the point of exhaustion, we still have hope." Even if Li Jing comes, Datang is surrounded by three roads, we have a big deal to run to Mobei, what are we panicking about? ”
As soon as his voice fell, there was an urgent military situation outside the tent.
Jie Li stabilized his demeanor, put the case in place, and then let the herald enter to speak.
Seeing the person coming, Jieli's eyes widened, and he was shocked: "What's wrong?" ”
The person who came turned out to be her wife, Princess Yicheng, and the maid Alain.
Alain glanced left and right, and stopped talking.
Jieli said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”
"Some herders have found traces of an army presence in the west, and the number is unknown. But the night before yesterday, someone found Qiao Lingze, saying that he was Li Jing's person, hoping that he could gather the old ministers of the Sui Dynasty to fight against the Khan King together. ”
Jieli's body shook, and he took a long breath and said, "Li Jing, is it really Li Jing?" How is this possible? Just the day before yesterday, I got news that Li Jing's army had kept them pinned down in Wuyuan City and couldn't move? (To be continued......)
