The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was deafening.
Li Chongjiu woke up suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and immediately grabbed his horse and walked towards the military tent where Li Yuan was.
Li Shimin and Li Zhiwan were all on the side, listening to what Li Chongjiu said, Li Yuan's face was solemn, and Li Shimin and Li Zhiwan both showed their approval and approval.
"I'll give it a try." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he immediately walked towards the military tent.
At that moment, the three of them fell into waiting, but fortunately, Li Yuan had not returned for long, and he said with a smile: "Fan Gong is already in a daze right now, any strategy that can break the Turks, as long as it is proposed, he has always agreed, so this matter will be handed over to the people of the world, and you will assist the people of the world." ”
"Dad, I'm going too." Li Zhiwan said on the side.
"Nonsense!" Li Yuan said angrily, "This matter is extremely risky, how can your daughter's family manipulate it." ”
Li Yuan paced in the tent and said: "For the sake of the country, I Li Yuan will never ask to retreat, but your eldest brother and second brother are still there, where is it your daughter's turn to come forward." ”
Li Zhiwan said very resolutely: "The ambition of my daughter's life is to serve her well, Mulan." ”
Li Shimin took a step forward and said: "Dad, the third sister is skilled in arching and horses, and she is also a helper, please rest assured, I will definitely protect Sanniang thoroughly." Li Chongjiu also stepped forward and said: "Please rest assured that Tang Gong will protect Sanniang unharmed." ”
Li Yuan sighed and said, "If your mother finds out, she will blame me." ”
Hearing Li Yuan's agreement, Li Zhiwan was overjoyed.
In front of the big tent of the Chinese army.
Li Shimin held a bowl of wine in his hand, held it high above his head, and said to the black soldiers below: "Tomorrow, I will be ordered to take the Turkic Khan's tooth tent directly, this is a grand event that will be remembered for all generations, and you will drink it all over. ”
Everyone was fine at the beginning, but when they heard Li Shimin say that they would take it directly tomorrow, the Turkic Khan's tooth tent was all discolored.
Where the Khan was, the Turks were heavily guarded, and the most elite attached troops were not to mention, and they were only a few hundred, so they were not sent to death.
Li Shimin saw that everyone's faces were embarrassed, he stopped drinking the cup, drew his sword in his hand at the moment, and said: "How are you afraid?" I am the son of Tang Gong, who respects you compared to you? I am not afraid of death, how dare you spare your life? ”
Hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Chongjiu below and a group of Li Shimin's cronies below took the lead in raising their arms and shouting, saying: "Swear to take the head of the beginning!" ”
When all the sergeants saw Li Shimin's color, they all shouted, saying: "Swear to take the head of the beginning!" ”
All of a sudden, within the Chinese army, hundreds of armor soldiers raised their arms and shouted in unison.
Seeing the scene, Fan Zigai couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, looked at Li Yuan and said, "Tang Gong can be sure of this matter. ”
Li Yuan didn't have much confidence, but he still smiled: "Ling Jun will see the little ones thief tomorrow." ”
Fan Zigai's mind was a little fixed.
The next day, it was dark.
100,000 Sui troops were deployed in the Shannan Plain.
The Sui army set up the formation, the chariots and horses went out together, the chariot array was guarded outside, and the cavalry was hidden in the chariot array, which was also the consistent tactics of the Sui army.
This is also because the proportion of cavalry is too small, even if it is a border county, it is only more than 10,000 cavalry, not more than 200,000 cavalry of the Turks, and there are more than one number of horses.
In yesterday's battle, although the cavalry of the Sui army had a high fighting quality, the Turkic rangers were numerous and completely suppressed the cavalry of the Sui army.
Although most of the Sui army was recruited temporarily, there were also soldiers who could fight, such as the elite of the 4,000 counties under the command of Wang Rengong of Mayi County, and yesterday's battle was like a mainstay to support the overall situation, otherwise the Sui army would have been defeated long ago.
The war is imminent, and the atmosphere of slaughter around is like substance.
Li Chongjiu was dressed in light leather armor, carrying a three-stone bow and a long knife, and slowly moved with the army.
The Turkic Liangji under the crotch, shaking one left and one right, rubbing the two eye-catching bows on the left and right leather bags, and the eagle feather arrow axe mounted in the back saddle of the horse is full of six big arrow bags.
The two-cornered swallowtail flags fluttered, and the horns were blown one after another.
Li Chongjiu came to Li Shimin's side, Li Shimin, Li Zhiwan and the two brothers and sisters looked solemn.
Li Shimin didn't need much as the commander of hundreds of iron cavalry, and Li Zhiwan was also on her forehead, sweat dripping, obviously because of the evil spirit of these hundreds of thousands of troops before the battle, almost out of breath.
At this time, 200,000 Turkic cavalry also dispatched together, making a sound like thunder, circling left and right.
Different from the formation of the Sui army, the nomads set up the formation, there was no fixed law, and their tactics were mostly hunting on weekdays. The rangers seemed to be quite free and scattered, with a cluster in the east and a pile in the west, but when they heard the order to move, it was like a gale, and the Turkic cavalry was superior to the Sui army in individual combat.
At present, the Sui army is arranging a formation, and the Turks will not give the Sui army a chance to set up a position.
The left and right rangers were dispatched, diagonally inserting into the flanks of the Sui army.
All of a sudden, there was a galloping scene of thousands of horses in front of me, and the Turks, a people on horseback, showed all kinds of riding skills on horseback.
After the horn, the sound of arrows was heard, and the Turkic cavalry in front made a whistle in unison and took the lead in charging into battle.
The war horse chewed repeatedly, Li Chongjiu watched left and right, and suddenly heard a strange beat, and the soldiers in brown and yellow battle suits on the left and right suddenly held their breath.
The wind is flying, the flag is flying, and the big horn is blowing the knife and gun!
The big men of the Sui army on the left and right all roared in unison, and their faces turned red.
First hundreds, then thousands, tens of thousands, three armies shouted!
The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, the blue sky is full of hunting grounds, and the sharp edge is whistling and the tiger and eagle are raised!
Even Li Shimin and Li Zhiwan are no exception, the 100,000 children of the Sui army, their singing voices are majestic and heroic, breaking through the sky.
This is the big horn song, from Sui to Tang, the Han men inside and outside the pass sang this song, stepping through the Helan Mountain, attacking the Turks from afar, Tuguhun, Gaochang, laughing and thirsty to drink the blood of the Huns, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!
The singing voice was majestic, Li Chongjiu's spirits were lifted, and the previous nervousness and worries were all abandoned.
At the moment of the war, Li Chongjiu looked at these sincere Sui men, and couldn't help but feel that compared with the country, personal honor and disgrace have nothing to do with gains and losses.
The singing continued, and the Turkic wolf riders swarmed in.
"Crossbow ready!"
"Shoot!"
The horses are staggered, and the arrows are raining down.
It's a big battle of forgetting life and death.
In the direction of Fenyang Palace, the Great Sui Praetorian Guard still broke through to the bottom of the mountain and was intercepted by the Turks.
As in yesterday's battle, the Central Golden Wolf Daxu, the Turkic Shibi Khan, and the attached army still did not move.
In fact, 200,000 Turks were divided into three parts, attached, controlled, and extended.
Attached, in Turkic language, it means wolf, it is the khan's subordinate and the personal soldier of the Ashina clan, and it is the most elite.
In the Turkic army, iron armor was allowed only for attachment, not for the rest.
There are few attached soldiers, but there are only 10,000 people, and the control string is the main body of the 200,000 Turkic army, which is composed of Turkic herdsmen and vassal tribes.
The leader of the vassal tribe was called Qi Jin or Jie Lifa, and there were official positions such as Tutun below, and in order to manage the various departments of the steppe, the Turkic Khan was set up by the special service children of the Ashina clan, and even the small Kehan was commanded by the control zhì.
For example, the Turks called the east Turki, and from time to time in the east, the Turki Khan was set up to assist the Turkic Khan, and governed such tribes as Xi and Khitan.
And Tuoba is the Hu people in the eyes of the Turks, such as the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the Western Regions, and even attached to the Han Department of the Turks.
Although the number of Taka is small, it is also very durable. At present, the two armies are fighting, and the Turkic cavalry composed of Gongxian and Tuo Li is like a violent wind, sweeping towards the Sui army.
ps: It is recorded in the official records of the Tang Dynasty that the government soldiers often practiced riding and archery and sang big horn songs.
