Chapter 239: Yellow Sand Stained with Blood (7)
Time, difficult time, a quarter of an hour is not long, not even the time for a meal, but for Li Zhen, who was waiting for Sogsos's reply, this quarter of an hour was so long that it was as if it was very difficult, of course, Li Zhen was not idle, he would not pin all his hopes on Sogsos to surrender without a fight - in this short quarter of an hour, the Tang officers and soldiers who had hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield escorted all the 4,000 Western Turk soldiers who were captured alive to the front of the battle, lined up in dozens of columns, Hundreds of Tang soldiers with horizontal knives lined up behind them, the bright steel knives flashed in the sunlight with the cold light of death, and the posture was clearly to say that if the Western Turks did not surrender, these prisoners of war would be killed, in addition, the Tang army hurriedly cut down trees from the nearby hills, and rushed to make ladders and other siege equipment under the noses of the Western Turks, and even built a simple rushing car, although the Tang army was very busy, but because of the 3,000 cavalry led by Li Zhen, the formation was pressed, The Western Turks in the old camp never dared to go out of the camp to interfere with the Tang army's movements, and could only watch the Tang army busy in an orderly manner.
Time passed minute by minute, and a quarter of an hour was about to come in a blink of an eye, but the gate of the old Western Turk camp was still closed, and the camp walls were still covered with nervous and vigilant Western Turk archers, but Sogsos never saw a human figure, and the tense atmosphere in the air became more and more intense.
Damn, it looks like it's still not going to work if you don't attack, or whatever, there's no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world, if you want to fight, then it's good to fight! Li Zhen glanced at a corona erected in front of the formation, saw that the shadow was about to reach the red line dyed with blood, laughed self-deprecatingly, looked at the old camp of the Western Turks, Yang raised his hand, ready to give the signal to attack, and in an instant, the air seemed to freeze, both the Tang officers and soldiers and the Western Turks all held their breath and looked nervously at Li Zhen's raised right hand.
"Your Highness, slow down, the old man has something to say." Just as Li Zhen was about to give the order to attack, Thorgsos's gray-haired head emerged from behind the camp wall, his face covered in sweat reflecting a little bit of light in the sunlight.
"Say!" Li Zhen replied without moving, but the right hand held high did not mean to withdraw it at all.
Seeing that the four thousand soldiers were about to die under the butcher's knife of the Tang Army, Sogsos was really anxious, wiped the sweat on his face, and shouted hoarsely: "Your Highness, God has the virtue of a good life, how can you kill people who surrender to sincerity like this......"
"Surrender or war?" Li Zhen didn't bother to reason with Sogssos about those nonsense without salt and vinegar at all, her hand slowly pressed down, and she interrupted a sentence, interrupting Sogsos's words.
"Surrender or Battle!"
"Surrender or Battle!"
……
Thousands of Tang officers and soldiers shouted in unison, and the thunderous shouts resounded through the sky, and the invincible momentum of our opponents immediately shook the faces of the Western Turkic officers and soldiers on the camp wall, and it was clear who was taller and who was next between the two armies.
"Your Highness, and give the old man another quarter of an hour, old man, old man......" Thorgasus stared at Li Zhen's slowly pressed right hand, and shouted anxiously.
Fart, play with Lao Tzu to delay the army, hey, think beautifully! I don't believe that these 4,000 heads are not enough to make you surrender! At this moment, time is the most valuable treasure for Li Zhen, how can it be easily wasted, besides, Li Zhen no longer believes in Sogsos's words, and he doesn't plan to talk to Sogsos anymore, sneered, waved his hand vigorously and said: "Kill!" ”
As soon as the word "kill" came out, hundreds of Tang officers and soldiers who had been on standby for a long time immediately raised their horizontal knives in their hands, each shouted violently, and almost simultaneously swung their knives down, and in an instant, more than 300 heads fell to the ground, and the blood in the severed corpses gushed out wildly, like hundreds of fountains, breaking through the air and turning into a rain of blood that was about to fall, instantly turning the front of the two armies into a bloody hell.
"Ah......h
"Oops."
"Oh my God!"
……
The Western Turks guarding the old camp didn't expect that the Tang army would kill them when they said that they would really kill them, without saying anything about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and immediately shouted in a panic, and Sogersos was even more dizzy, and almost fell off the wall, but fortunately, the guards behind him supported him quickly, otherwise, he was afraid that his life would have to be reimbursed because of this.
"Stop, stop, I'll wait for the drop, drop the ......" Seeing that the Tang Army raised the butcher's knife again, Sogsos, who couldn't bear such a major blow, finally couldn't help but shout loudly, with tears on his face.
Cut, why did you go earlier, hey, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin! Li Zhen indifferently glanced at Sogsos, who was shouting on the wall, and waved his hand: "Stop!" The hundreds of swordsmen who had received the order immediately stopped swinging their swords, but they did not put their swords into their sheaths, but still raised their swords high, ready to slash at any time.
"How long will you wait until you lay down your weapons?" Li Zhen rode out, his anger sank into the dantian, and he broke off, and the sound sounded like rolling thunder, which shook the eardrums of the Western Turks standing on the camp wall, and many defenders were even so frightened that they couldn't hold their bows, and the wall was immediately in chaos for a while.
Faced with the scene of such soldiers having no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit, the tearful Sogersos was extremely helpless, looked up to the sky and sighed, closed his eyes, waved his hand and said: "Put down your weapons, open the camp gate, and go to see His Royal Highness King Yue." ”
The Western Turkic officers and soldiers, who had been frightened by the ferocity of the Tang army, were secretly relieved when they heard the order to surrender issued by their own commander, but although they all put down the weapons in their hands, they all hesitated and did not dare to open the gate of the village, after all, the ruthlessness of Li Zhen and other prisoners of war was really terrifying, and the big guys were afraid that after surrendering, they would also fall into the doom of being beheaded.
"Open the door, open the door quickly, do you want to be wiped out?" Seeing that everyone was not moving, Sogsus immediately became anxious, stomped his feet fiercely, rushed down the wall despite his old age and frailty, opened the gate of the village with his own hands, walked to Li Zhen who was standing in front of the formation, arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the old man has decided to surrender, I don't know if the previous discussion still counts?" ”
"This is natural, this king will do what he says, you just have to lay down your arms, go out of the camp and line up, this king's department will never enter the camp for a single step, if you violate this word, you should be like this!" Seeing that the old camp of the Western Turks had been able to take it, Li Zhen, who was worried about the battle situation in Niutouling, didn't want to make any more trouble, looked at Sogsos, who was full of grief, took out a feather arrow from the quiver, broke it in two, and announced loudly.
At this time, seeing Li Zhen say this, Sogersos's heart settled down a little, of course, in the face of Li Zhen's absolute strength, Sogsos in addition to believing that Li Zhen was telling the truth, in fact, there was no other way, smiled bitterly, turned around and strode into the barracks, a moment later, more than a thousand Suo Ge Mohe soldiers lined up, hung their heads and walked out of the barracks, piled up the knives, bows and other weapons in their hands in front of the queue, everyone looked at the Tang officers and soldiers not far away with a worried face.
"Your Highness, the old decay has laid down the weapon according to the promise, and I beg your highness to be merciful, don't hurt the old and young of our clan, and the old decay will accompany your highness to persuade Thurrow." Sogeros looked sadly at his subordinates who were disarming and surrendering, and came to Li Zhen's side with a smile on his face.
Whew, it's finally settled! Seeing that everything was decided, Li Zhen's heart that had always been hanging finally fell back slightly, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Sogsus and said, "Okay, then there will be old Lauso." As soon as the words fell, he turned his head and ordered to the generals who followed closely behind: "All the troops listen to the order: Sha Feihu led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to stay here, and any soldiers who dare to resist or escape will be killed, and the rest of the troops will immediately follow the king's soldiers to Niutouling!" ”
General Li Zhen gave an order, and the generals suddenly received the order, and each returned to the headquarters, and in a moment, except for more than 800 cavalry from Sha Feihuo's department, who stayed in place to monitor the soldiers, nearly 6,000 men and horses of the rest of the departments turned around and marched south, and their movements were extremely fast, rolling up dust in the sky on the grassland......
The crockpot is not broken from Inoue, and the general will inevitably die before the battle, this is common sense, everyone understands it, and it is very easy to say, but once the death is his own relatives, I am afraid that no one can maintain a calm state of mind, no, Rao is Ashina Sero can be regarded as a veteran of the battlefield who is accustomed to seeing life and death, but seeing his most beloved second son Ashina Heru killed the eagle three times, but he couldn't help but feel sore in his heart, although he didn't cry on the spot, but his face instantly became as white as paper, Seeing that their own attacking troops were defeated one after another due to the lack of unified command, he was even more annoyed, and under the anger and urgency, a mouthful of blood was not contained, gushing out, and suddenly the tall body shook violently, and almost fell off the horse, but fortunately, the guards around him quickly held on, and nothing major happened, but when such a scene fell in the eyes of the generals, it aroused a panic, and the generals did not care to pay attention to the defeated army that was breaking down the ridge, and they all surrounded Ashina Thero's side, anxiously inquiring, shouting, The originally neat queue immediately became a mess, and for a while, everyone's attention in the huge Western Turkic army array was attracted by the accident of their own commander, and no one found that the more than 300 slave soldiers led by Lin Chenghe had quietly sneaked down to Niutouling with their own rout.
It stands to reason that it is extremely difficult for Lin Chenghe to lead his troops to mix up Niutouling, however, under a series of coincidences, this matter was successfully achieved, and there are several important reasons for this - First, Ashinahru's death stimulated Ashnasero, causing the Western Turkic army under the mountain to be in a panic, and had no time to manage the defeated and retreating army. Second, due to the lack of unified command, the Western Turkic rout was not defeated at the same time, but dispersed separately, which caused the whole scene to be extremely chaotic and gave Lin Chenghe the opportunity to blend in with the rout. Third, the slave soldiers led by Lin Chenghe themselves were small tribesmen from the Western Turks, and they were almost the same as the Western Turkic cavalry in terms of weapons and clothing. Following the rout to retreat to the rear of the Western Turkic army, it just so happened that at this time all the Western Turk generals gathered in front of Ashina Sero to show their loyalty, no one to restrain this wave of rout back stragglers, more than 3,000 routs were scattered between the army of Ashina Sero and the White Wolf Army, and the rout who had just experienced a fiasco was shocked at this time, naturally they would not have the heart to pay attention to the things on the side, and no one would pay attention to the Tang army slaves mixed in it, gave Lin Chenghe the opportunity to lead his troops to quietly approach the White Wolf Army.
The White Wolf Army is the most elite of the elite troops directly under the Khan's Court, both in terms of treatment and weapons and equipment are the heads of the Western Turkic armies, and they have never looked down on the generals of the tribes. The three thousand soldiers and horses with their backs to Niutouling are on guard against Dong Qianli's elusive sand thief team, and the rest of the departments are very leisurely, as for Yibi Ba, the main general, he even started a **, and gambled with a few cronies and generals, betting on whether Ashina Sero's department can break through Niutouling before dark, and the whole army is not very prepared for accidents at all, and the result of such negligence on the battlefield can only have one end - defeat, fiasco!
The opportunity appeared, whether you can catch it depends on the ability of the commander, this is not a difficult thing for Lin Chenghe, who has always been good at improvisation, seeing the white wolf army blindly happy there, Lin Chenghe's heart suddenly moved, and quietly summoned several Tang army generals who were responsible for commanding the slave army to his side, and whispered, and then led his troops to sneak towards the one who approached the white wolf army in the chaos of the army, and when he got only four hundred steps away from the white wolf army, Lin Chenghe suddenly pulled out his waist knife, With a sharp wave in the air, he gave the order to start the operation, and in an instant, more than 300 slave soldiers shouted in unison: "Ebibal is too much to deceive people, forcing me to wait to die, brothers, kill, kill all those dogs, kill!" Together, the slave soldiers were clamoring and quickly urging their horses to rush towards the white wolf army not far away.
At this time, I heard that many people were clamoring to fight the White Wolf Army, but for some reason, there were many people who followed Lin Chenghe's department to kill the White Wolf Army, and for a while, the momentum was huge, and the White Wolf Army, which was caught off guard, was in a mess, mistakenly thinking that Ashina Therro's department was about to mutiny, and hurriedly got on the horse to prepare for the battle, but unfortunately it was too late in time- Although the White Wolf Army is an elite cavalry army, well-trained, and its combat effectiveness is far superior to that of Ashina Thero's department, the problem is that the distance between the two sides is too close at this time, and the White Wolf Army is in the midst of relaxation.
Although he was rough and arrogant, he was not a reckless person, and he did not mess up in the face of the sudden attack of Ashina Sero's department, nor did he wait to be beaten in place, but loudly ordered to blow the horn of retreat, and led his men to retreat in the direction of the desert, trying to get rid of the entanglement of the chaotic soldiers who rushed over, and then looking for an opportunity to counterattack, how could his reaction have been expected by Lin Chenghe - as soon as he heard the horn of retreat sounded in the White Wolf Army, Lin Chenghe didn't give the White Wolf Army any space to gather and retreat, relying on the speed of his own horse that had already sprinted, he strangled in the chaotic White Wolf Army, and stubbornly entangled the White Wolf Army. Ashina Sero, who was originally in a coma, woke up under the emergency rescue of the generals, and when he heard the sound of fighting from his own back, he immediately woke up, and he didn't care to inquire what happened, so he ordered the assembly number to be sounded in advance, so that the Ashina Sero Division, who was rushing to kill extremely happy, retreated one after another, and the remaining Lin Chenghe Divisions were immediately in danger of being exposed.
Three hundred against one thousand two, this battle has no need to fight at all, even if the White Wolf Army is in the chaos of retreat at this time, it is impossible for the Tang Army composed of slave soldiers to take advantage of the slightest, and if one is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out, and how to deal with it has become a serious problem in front of Lin Chenghe.
"Withdraw!" In the face of such a crisis, Lin Chenghe did not dare to fight at all, turned his horse's head, and led his cavalry to the south of the battlefield without looking back. Isn't this a clear move to inform Ashnathro that they are not Turkic troops?
Anger, extreme rage! Ashina Sero, who had just experienced the pain of losing his beloved son, saw that he was tricked by the Tang army, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he didn't even think about how to break through the Tang army on Niutouling......
