The soldier saint has a cloud: the soldier who surrenders without a fight, and the good man who is good! Si Yan is solid, however, if you want to surrender without a fight, the first condition is that you must have enough strength to deter the other party, and you must be good at building momentum, and it is not just as simple as casually talking, at least for Li Zhen at the moment, this can only be an illusory dream, but the reality is cruel - the Western Turk Ashnakhru is attacking Rouyuan very urgently, and the city is about to be destroyed; The only thing that can be called good news is: according to the news reported by the spies lurking in the Western Turkic army, there seem to be signs of discord between the chief and deputy commanders of the Western Turks, but because the spies are not high in the army, they cannot access high-level secrets, and they do not know the root cause of the discord, nor how the two sides started the conflict, only that the original military meeting between the two sides was not held as planned and broke up, and that's all.

The situation is pressing, it is impossible to win without fighting, and the only way in front of Li Zhen is to rise up and fight, and if you want to fight, you will fight! Li Zhen, who made up his mind, formally issued an order to go out on the first day of February in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, in addition to the Buyi battalion to stay in Jiaohe, with the governor of the palace Shi Moli as the remaining envoy, he personally led the five battalions of soldiers and horses to swear outside the city of Jiaohe, and the people of Jiaohe were sent to five miles outside the city with the old and the young, and Li Zhen's army advanced to Yizhou along the fifth road, and the army marched very fast, and it was only more than 60 miles away from Yizhou in a few days.

After learning the news of the Tang army, the Western Turkic army gave up the attack on Rouyuan City, and instead gathered under the city of Yiwu, waiting for the arrival of the Tang army, however, something unexpected happened - the Tang army stopped after marching to Feishaling, and then, under the surveillance of the Western Turkic surveillance rangers, suddenly disappeared without a trace overnight, leaving only an empty camp, with a few hanging drum sheep, the Western Turkic commander Ashnathro who got the report went to the Tang camp for a field investigation, but returned with nothing, wondering, had to order the reduction of troops, recall the ambush men and horses originally sent out, and put the whole army on alert, ready to meet the possible secret attack of Li Zhen's troops, but it is a pity that Ashina Therro waited left and right, but he never waited for the expected attack, and Wu Qiantang's army disappeared.

Ashina Sero was waiting, and Li Zhen was also waiting, but unlike Ashina Serro and other stupid waiters who were confused for a while, Li Zhen, who led his troops to drive wildly for four days at night, was quietly waiting for night on a hill called Ashkeling in the branch of the Tianshan Mountains, waiting for the time when the long-planned battle plan would officially begin.

Tired is a little tired, Rao is Li Zhen has practiced martial arts all year round, and his good body has been boiled up since he was a child, and he is very strong, but after four consecutive days of black and white upside down, he is really tired, despite this, Li Zhen still doesn't pay much attention to it, and Li Zhen is not worried about the battle that is about to start, without him, the camp not far from the foot of the mountain is just a small camp of the Xili tribe, in addition to more than 100 young people, the remaining nearly 1,000 people are some old and weak women and children, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Tang Army at all, a charge can quickly solve the battle, In fact, there is no need to wait for night so cautiously, the reason why this is so is only because Li Zhen is worried about this one thing - military heart!

The war itself is cruel and bloodthirsty, the army cannot be without murderous spirit, and the cultivation of murderous spirit must be watered by sufficient blood, even if the army that has not experienced blood, even if it is well trained, it is only a useless boy scout, but the trouble is: too much, excessive bloodshed not only can not cultivate iron-blooded warriors, but there will be two extremes - either become an indiscriminate beast army, or the whole army can not withstand the bloody test and the whole army collapses, obviously, these two results are not acceptable to Li Zhen, And the battle plan that Li Zhen is going to implement is absolutely bloody, and it can even be said to be extremely cruel, for the nearly half of the recruits under his command who have not seen blood can withstand the test Li Zhen is really not absolutely sure, and this is the reason why Li Zhen has delayed giving the order to attack, and has to wait until the night comes, after all, the night can be regarded as a good fig leaf, which can make the blood look not so dazzling, despite this, the evil is still a crime, but Li Zhen can only take "being kind to the enemy is cruel to himself" It's just a remark that isn't very reliable to keep comforting yourself.

Time passed minute by minute, the night of early spring came early, and the rain had just fallen at the end, the day got darker faster, and it was less than four o'clock in the unitary hour, and the night shrouded the grassland at the foot of the Ashkeling Mountains in darkness, and the campfire of the Xili people was soon lit, and the aroma of barbecue mixed with the sound of singing and laughter wafted, which made the Tang officers and soldiers lurking on the mountainside a lot of commotion - because they rushed to the belly of the enemy at night, the whole army had not eaten a hot meal on this way, All of them are supported by hard and unpalatable dry food, and the birds have long faded out of their mouths, but they can smell the aroma, look at the bonfire, and listen to the laughter, but they can't enjoy it, and the grievances are unbearable, no, some people can't stand it immediately-You Sifan, the captain of the Bu C Battalion, lowered his body and crawled to Li Zhen, who was observing the movement, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's time to attack, just like this, it's not enough to be an early one, take advantage of this group of barbarians eating and drinking happily, just kill him by surprise, and his subordinates ask for the order to fight." , the last battalion of men and horses can definitely level the enemy camp in a pillar of incense, if not, the last general will come to see! ”

You Sifan said happily, a few cavalry battalion captains on the side were not happy, Liu Whirlwind and Sha Feiluo were still young in the army, but they just dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but Lin Ting, the captain of the cavalry battalion, was an old qualified soldier, how could he allow a rising star like You Sifan to grab credit, unceremoniously squeezed You Sifan aside, and said angrily: "Go, go, go, it's also a matter of the cavalry battalion to raid, and when it will be the turn of the infantry to rush the camp." Then, regardless of You Sifan's eyes opening angrily, he turned his head to look at Li Zhen, who was silent, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's time to attack, the last general is willing to lead his troops to attack, and if he doesn't take the enemy camp, he won't be a man, Your Highness, you just give your department a chance to perform." ”

"Your Royal Highness, it is the last general who will ask for the battle first, and if you want to send a task, you have to go first, you can't help the cavalry battalion, our infantry battalion can also ride horses to attack the battalion, Eagle Laosan, you say something." When You Sifan saw Lin Ting coming out to grab the task, he immediately became anxious, grabbed the smiling Ying San in front of him, and kept shouting, fearing that this task of going out to the first battle would be taken by the cavalry battalion.

Liu Whirlwind is not a person who doesn't talk much, he smiled and watched a few captains fighting there, but Sha Feiluo was a smart-minded person, at this time, seeing that Li Zhen never looked back to stop the dispute between the lieutenants, he had already faintly touched Li Zhen's thoughts in his heart, so he smiled, and also stood beside Lin Ting, with a playful smile on his face, he glanced at the reluctant You Sifan, and said: "The task of the infantry is to defend, as for the offense, it is the work of the cavalry, Lao You won't forget everything he learned in the military academy so quickly, just such a little work, it's not enough for the cavalry battalion to stuff the teeth, you infantry should stay on the mountain to observe first. ”

You Sifan was originally a cavalryman, originally a team leader in Yanmen Pass, his martial arts are quite good, and he is also extremely good at riding and shooting, and he has followed Li Zhen since the first battle of Shenwu, but although this kid has some real skills, he is a little frizzy, so Li Zhen has always pressed him, and he never gave him a chance to get ahead when he was in Beijing, and wanted to sharpen his character, but unfortunately it is difficult to change the nature of the country, You Sifan has never been able to change such problems, but his ability is indeed not ambiguous, In the Western Regions Military Academy, he really defeated many competitors with older qualifications and higher official positions than him, and became the captain of the infantry battalion in one fell swoop, of course, You Sifan originally wanted to compete for the captain of the cavalry battalion, but he lost to Liu, Sha, and Lin several times, the three cavalry tactics masters in the army, and could only be the captain of the infantry battalion, but this kid was not very convinced, and he insisted on fighting for a breath, and trained the infantry battalion under him to be extremely outstanding, with dual ability of foot and cavalry, and his combat effectiveness was not much worse than that of the three major cavalry battalions. At this time, I heard Sha Feiluo deliberately point out the difference between riding and walking, and he was very unconvinced, and replied with a red face and a thick neck: "Although the infantry can only defend, Lao Tzu's soldiers can rush and kill when they get on their horses, and they can defend when they dismount, this is the elite soldiers, and it is much stronger than the cavalry battalion that can only rush and kill and not defend, or let's make a bet and let His Highness judge to see who rushes into the enemy camp first." You Sifan's words obviously did not convince the cavalry captains very much, and they each laughed in a low voice, completely forgetting the upcoming battle.

Very good, it's better to rush to fight than to pass the buck to each other, hey, I don't know if these boys can have this kind of spirit if they know the specific task, or not, the time is almost up, it's time to start! Although Li Zhen always lay on the big stone on the mountainside, he never looked back, but well, he didn't let go of a word of the generals' arguments, seeing that the commanders of the various armies were fighting to fight this battle, his mind relaxed a little, twisted his waist, turned over from the big stone, stood on the ground, glanced at the noisy soldiers, and waved his hand: "Have you made enough trouble, don't forget that this is lurking, and you are going to inform the Turks that we have arrived?" As soon as Li Zhen said this, the generals who were originally making fun of each other immediately calmed down, but the eyes that looked at Li Zhen were full of desire to fight.

I can't hide from what I should do, and I hope these boys can survive! Looking at the generals who were eager to fight together, Li Zhen felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and his face darkened a little, but he quickly threw aside the idea of being unfavorable to the battle, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife and glanced at everyone, Li Zhen slowly spoke: "The whole army is attacking, and the chickens and dogs are not left!" ”

"Ahh As soon as they heard Li Zhen give the order to kill, all the generals were dumbfounded, looking at Li Zhen with disbelief on their faces, and they couldn't believe that such a cruel order would come from Li Zhen's mouth - killing is a common thing for soldiers, and if they want to fight with the heavily armed enemy army, no one will have any thoughts, as long as Li Zhen gives the order, even if they are outnumbered, the big guys will dare to break through, but it is difficult for them to kill those women, children, old and young who have no power to resist, not to mention Lin Ting, You Sifan and other generals from regular soldiers, even Liu Whirlwind and Sha Feihuo, two generals who were born as sand thieves, have never done such a thing, it is no longer a war, but a massacre.

"What? Questions? The generals' reactions fell in Li Zhen's eyes, and they couldn't bear it in their hearts, but Li Zhen still asked with a calm face.

Li Zhen's generals are all courageous, and Li Zhen has always advocated independent thinking, but the generals have always regarded Li Zhen as the god of war, and no one has ever doubted his decision, but this matter is a matter of conscience, the generals hesitated and did not dare to respond, after a moment of silence, Lin Chenghe, the commander of the infantry army, was the first to stand up, with a trace of hesitation on his face, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness's order will not dare to disobey, but the last general wants to know what the reason is?" ”

For the sake of secrecy, but also in order not to shake the heart of the army, Li Zhen has never explained the detailed battle plan in detail, at the beginning of the military meeting Mo Li only said in general terms that he could conquer the small tribes of the Turks for his own use, snowballing to strengthen himself, and then fight with the Western Turkic army, as for how to conquer those small tribes that are dependent on the Western Turks, not only Mo Li, but Li Zhen has never said it in front of people, until this time only showed a trace of grandeur, but this is not all, But just such a beginning made the generals resist in their hearts, Rao is Li Zhen had already expected this to be the case, but his heart couldn't help but feel a little sore, but it's a pity that now, Li Zhen has no way out, even if he is facing a bloody hell, Li Zhen can only go forward.

"What is the vocation of a soldier?" Li Zhen did not directly answer Lin Chenghe's question, but instead asked a question that sounded irrelevant.

It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders! If you don't understand the order, you have to execute it first and then ask questions, this is Li Zhen's famous words that plagiarized later generations, and it is also the first article of the motto of the Western Regions Military Academy, all the generals present are very familiar with it, Li Zhen's intention to raise this question at this time is to remind the generals, don't forget where the vocation is, this Lin Chenghe knows in his heart, but Lin Chenghe has always been a person who adheres to principles, but he was not moved by Li Zhen's words, and respectfully performed a military salute and said: "Your Highness, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, but the second article of the school rules is indicated, According to the military regulations of our military academy, the army must not indiscriminately kill innocents. ”

Innocent? Oh, perhaps, which of the civilians who died in the war was not innocent, the difference was only which country was killed. Li Zhen didn't want to give such a cruel killing order, if Li Zhen could have enough troops in his hands, even if it was to pay some more price, he would rather have a battlefield with the Western Turkic army, rather than run to the rear of the enemy to carry out a massacre, but the cruel reality is there, Li Zhen can't stand up if he doesn't do this, and if he can't stand up for power, what kind of deterrence can he talk about, and if there is no deterrence, let alone tame those small tribes who are attached to the Western Turks, as for the next plan of action, it will be even more shadowless, therefore, Li Zhen could only be ruthless to do such things that violated his nature, so after hearing Lin Chenghe's insistence on his opinion, Li Zhen did not get angry, but gritted his teeth and said slowly: "What Commander Lin said is good, but what is innocent? If Anxi falls, not to mention that the common people have no way to live, your family is afraid that there will be no good end, think about them, aren't they innocent? Hey, remember, it's war! To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, there are always some things that have to be done in this world, and there should be a lot of infamy, and this king has borne it as one, so has Commander Lin heard it clearly? ”

Li Zhen had already said everything to this point, Lin Chenghe could hear the torment in Li Zhen's heart, so he didn't say more, tears flashed in his eyes, and he respectfully gave a military salute and said: "Yes, the last general will take the order, and the infantry battalion is ready to attack at any time!" ”

Compared with Lin Chenghe's insistence, Chen Wu, the commander of the cavalry battalion, did not have so much nonsense, although he also did not understand why Li Zhen would give such an inhumane order, but it was impossible for him to speak out against Li Zhen. ”

"Okay." Seeing that the generals no longer raised questions, Li Zhen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Liu Whirlwind, you lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to attack from the front, Chen Wu, you lead the second battalion of cavalry B and C to outflank the enemy, the right flank is responsible for the infantry battalion, and the infantry battalion enters from the left wing, you must annihilate them all, you must not let go of one person, attack!" ”

"Yes, the last general will wait for the order!" Since things were inevitable, the generals were no longer bound by the so-called conscience, and each of them responded to their orders, and in an instant, the five thousand Tang troops who had been quietly waiting in the hollows behind the mountain all immediately moved, but in a few moments, the cavalry brigade of the black crow crows overflowed the small mountain bag that was not too high, and quickly killed the small camp of the Xili tribe, which was only two miles away from the mountain, and the sound of rapid horses' hooves rumbled in the silent grassland, and the murderous aura spread in the night sky. The shy moon hid in the clouds as if she could not bear to see such a human tragedy, and only the cavalry was fiercely assaulting on the vast land.

Chaotic, all chaotic, the originally peaceful and noisy Xili camp was frightened by the sudden sound of horses' hooves, although it was not clear who the people and horses were at night, but the people living on the grassland knew that there was a large army attacking their camp as soon as they heard the momentum, obviously not good, the panicked Xili people ran around in the camp in a panic, calling for children and daughters......
