Chapter 241: Yellow Sand Stained with Blue Blood (9)

A wolf is a wolf, and it will never turn into a docile sheep at any time! After listening to Sogersos's request, Rao is Li Zhen himself is a ruthless person, and he can't help but muttered to himself in his heart for Ashina Sero's old spiciness, and ruthlessness, of course, Li Zhen also knows very well that the Western Turks themselves are an incomplete country, and the construction of its national system is far inferior to the Tang Dynasty, even compared to the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, it is at most a tribal alliance, for each tribe, the significance of its own survival is far higher than the interests of the country, in this regard, Ashina Thero's approach is really beyond reproach, but his spicy methods and shrewd calculations make Li Zhen quite jealous, and he really can't make up his mind about whether to cooperate with Ashina Thero's actions for a while.

According to Li Zhen's knowledge, the Western Turk Khan Yibi Lulu is a mean and vicious guy, the reason why he was able to climb to the position of the Khan, with all kinds of vicious tricks and boundless killings forcibly subdued the major tribes of the Western Turks, however, although his people are greedy, but they are not mediocre, their political skills are still very clever, of course, this is also normal, how can you be a mediocre person to be called a khan in such a wolfish country as the Western Turks? If you don't have a little real ability, you can already make people cut into meat paste, although Li Zhen doesn't think that Yibi Lulu can compete with himself in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, but if he can let him fall due to civil strife, it is not a bad thing, but I want to think about it, whether it can be done is still a matter of two possibilities - although Yibi Lulu is extremely unhappy with the major tribes because of the destruction of the rice country, and his prestige has plummeted, but the strength in his hands is still very strong, and it is difficult to say how big a wave Ashina Sero can make. In the unlikely event that Ashnathro is soon defeated by Epilu, then the relieved Epitaru will inevitably send a large army to attack Anzai out of anger and embarrassment, and if so, Anzai may not be able to get enough respite, this is one thing; Second, in Li Zhen's view, Ashina Sero is ruthless enough, and his ability to command troops is also very strong, and he is the core surname of the Turks, and he has a very high prestige among the Western Turkic tribes. This plan is not without the possibility of transforming into the White Wolf Army and Ashina Serro joining forces to flank the Tang Army, if so, the Tang Army after a long battle is bound to face a decisive battle, Li Zhen does not have absolute confidence to win the final victory, which is also something that has to be guarded against, therefore, although Sogersos swore that he was crazy, Li Zhen did not immediately express his own attitude, but silently fell into contemplation.

For Li Zhen, it is naturally a beautiful thing to be able to plunge the Western Turks into division and war, and it is best that the entire Western Turks are in chaos, and they will fight him for two or three years, exhausting the strength of the Western Turks, and at that time, Anxi, who has recuperated and recuperated, can naturally easily come forward to clean up the mess and divide the entire north and south of the Tianshan Mountains into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. That is to say, the strength of the two sides of the civil strife cannot be too different, otherwise even if the chaos will rise, it will soon subside, the trouble is that Li Zhen is not enough information at the moment, and he can't make an accurate judgment - according to the information collected by the "Rising Sun", the Western Turkic Khan has a standing army - more than 50,000 cavalry of the White Wolf Army, as well as more than 100,000 soldiers of the tribe of Yibi Lulu itself, a total of 150,000 horses, accounting for more than one-third of the total strength of the entire Western Turks. As for how many tribes Ashina Sero can contact, it is difficult to say, as far as the current situation is concerned, the backbone team in the hands of Ashina Serro is actually only 40,000 horses of the two major tribes of Wucrossbow Lost and Soge Mohe, although its combat effectiveness is acceptable, but, let alone contend with the entire military strength of Yibidulu, the White Wolf Army alone is enough for Ashina Sero to drink a pot, of course, if Ashina Serro can really contact most of the ten tribes, it is another matter, so Whether or not to take the risk to help Ashina Sero defeat the Ebi Batsuo Department and to what extent it should be done is worth thinking about by Li Zhenhao.

Headache, headache, in the face of such a complex calculation, Li Zhen really has a headache, but the trouble is that this matter can not be delayed, once it is delayed, let Yi Piba seize the suspicion, all things are afraid that all will have to fall into the void, seeing that Ashina Sero has turned back to the main formation from the White Wolf Army, Li Zhen knew very well that the last time to make a decision had come, so he gritted his teeth fiercely, waved his hand, and asked his guards to bring forward Sogsos who was waiting on the side, and his face calmly swept the calm Sogsos, He said calmly: "Suo Lao, this king's will has been decided, so I will act according to your old man's opinion, please ask Suo Lao to reply to Ashina Thero." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness! The old man replied to his nephew. Sogthos waited in a panic for nearly a quarter of an hour, and finally waited for the answer of hope, Rao is an old fox who has become a spirit, and has long been able to be happy and angry, but he can't help but be ecstatic, he doesn't care about saying anything, he salutes Li Zhen respectfully, and hurriedly runs to the side of the mount, jumps up, and rushes down the Niutou Ridge.

"Your Highness, I am afraid that there is something wrong with this matter, if our army goes down the mountain, once things change, Niutouling is not guaranteed, the enemy army is bound to drive straight in, and the Sha Feiluo is alone, and the old battalion that has been taken may fall into the hands of the Western Turks again." As soon as Sogersos left, Li Zhen immediately summoned several henchmen to his side, and said that the agreement reached with Ashina Thro would come out.

"Your Royal Highness, Captain You is reasonable, although our army is a victorious division, morale is booming, but the whole army is fighting hard, it is difficult to have the strength to fight again, if you stick to Niutouling, once you lose the geographical advantage, I am afraid that there is no risk, I hope Your Highness will think twice." As soon as You Sifan's voice fell, Liu Whirlwind also stood up and spoke out to express his opposition.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that what the two generals You and Liu said is good, but if you can really make the enemy kill each other, it is also a quick thing, this risk can be taken, but it can't be risked by Your Highness, the last general asks for the order to lead the army down the mountain, and asks Your Highness to sweep the battle for the last general." Chen Wu, the commander of the cavalry, saw far, knowing that if this matter was successful, it would only be beneficial to Anxi, and he was not against taking the risk, but he did not approve of Li Zhen taking the risk.

"What Commander Chen said is reasonable, His Royal Highness is a body of ten thousand gold, and it is not appropriate to take such risks, the last general is willing to go down the mountain with Commander Chen, please ask Your Highness for permission." Lin Chenghe hesitated for a moment, and also echoed.

"No need, if this king doesn't go, I'm afraid that Yibi may not take the bait." Li Zhen naturally understood that he was reluctant to let the child not be able to trap the wolf, and seeing that the generals were worried about their own safety, he shook his head and said: "Niutouling must not be lost, so it's okay, Zifeng led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to stay in Niutouling, and the rest of the troops immediately went down the mountain with the king. Seeing that Li Zhen had already made up his mind, the generals didn't say anything more, and each returned to his headquarters, busy transferring troops and sending generals, preparing to go down the mountain without mentioning it.

Soon after Sogsos went down the mountain, the white wolf army originally located on the west side of the desert sounded a terrible horn, more than 10,000 iron cavalry began to turn to the northwest, except for a force to stay in place vigilantly, the rest of the people slowly began to withdraw, suddenly, a burst of smoke and dust rose, the white wolf army withdrew from the battlefield, disappeared in the smoke and dust after a sand beam in the distance, and disappeared again, at the same time, the original semi-circular formation of Ashina Therro raised a white flag, kept waving in the direction of Niutouling, The 5,000 Tang army, which had already been ready, slowly marched down the mountain ridge under the leadership of Li Zhen and marched towards Ashina Thero's array.

The distance between the two armies was not far, that is, less than two miles, although the Tang army's action was not fast, but it was only a quarter of an hour before and after, and the distance between the two armies was less than three hundred steps, and at this time, Li Zhen and Ashina Therro gave an order almost at the same time: "Begin!" Suddenly, the Western Turkic cavalry, which was originally arranged in a semi-circular formation, rushed towards the Tang army, shouting and shouting, and at the same time, the Tang army also began to speed up, and the whole army rushed over, and the two armies immediately became a mess, and the sound of the collision of weapons, shouts, and screams resounded in the billowing smoke and dust, and at the beginning of the fierce battle, where the original Ashina Therro was located, a pile of grass mixed with wolf dung was blazing, and a billowing wolf smoke went straight into the sky.

"Your Highness, look, the wolf smoke is rising!" After a sand beam a few miles away from Niutouling, more than 10,000 soldiers of the White Wolf Army were lining up behind it, and a sharp-eyed general found the wolf smoke rising from Fuyao, and couldn't help but scream.

"Ignore him, let them fight first, and the whole army will dismount and rest!" Ebi Baduo looked up at the wolf smoke in the sky, sneered, and said without any disapproval.

"Your Highness, but ......" The general had known about the agreement between Ibhibata and Ashina Sero in advance, and at this time, seeing that Ibibbathar did not act according to the plan, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

", let's wait until they've had enough, come here, send a team of rangers to see what is going on." With an impatient wave of his hand, he interrupted the general's words, jumped off his horse, and lay lazily on the sand.

The battle was extremely "fierce", tens of thousands of soldiers and horses hedged against each other, entangled, fighting, and the smoke and dust billowing in the desert almost shrouded the entire battlefield, but at the core of the battlefield was a calm, Li Zhen and Ashina Sero, the two commanders, were standing face to face, although they did not speak/talk to each other, but their eyes were always intertwined.

A pillar of incense, a quarter of an hour, time passed quickly, gradually, the Tang army, which was already insufficient troops, soon appeared in the dilemma of being unable to support it, and was besieged in the center by the powerful Ashina Sero, and the sound of fighting on the battlefield gradually declined, and the battle situation was already one-sided.

"Report, Your Highness, the Tang army has been defeated and has been surrounded under Niutouling!" The White Wolf Army rangers, who had been watching the battlefield for a long time, saw that the situation on the battlefield was almost a foregone conclusion, and did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly ran back to the headquarters and reported the battle situation they had seen to Ebiba.

"Oh?" Obit, who was lying lazily on the ground, got up, looked at the wolf smoke in the distance, rolled his eyes, flew on his horse, drew the scimitar at his waist, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" Suddenly, the White Wolf Army, which had been recuperating for a long time, immediately roared and slaughtered their horses to the battlefield, planning to have a peache-picking operation to beat the water dogs.

The White Wolf Army deserves the name of a strong army, the speed of the sprint is extremely fast, the distance of five miles only took less than a pillar of incense to rush through, and soon it was killed to the outer edge of the battlefield, regardless of whether the Ashina Sullo Department agreed or not, forcibly rushed over, forcing the Ashina Sullo Department in the outer circle for a while, in the face of the unreasonable impact of the White Wolf Army, had to get out of the way one by one, and let the White Wolf Army roar and rush to the "remnants of the Tang Army" in the formation, the interesting thing is that the White Wolf Army acted very quickly, It's just that Ebibat, who was busy grabbing merit, didn't find that the corpses of the men and horses on the battlefield seemed to be less.

"Kill!" As soon as Yibi Baduo broke through the formation of Ashina Sero's department, he saw from afar a fiery red battle flag in more than a thousand Tang troops standing a famous general with a full body of bright light armor, and that appearance was Li Zhen himself, and he was immediately excited and screamed, and rushed over desperately, intending to take the credit of capturing Li Zhen alive into his own hands, Yibi Baduo thought it was quite beautiful, but unfortunately things were not at all what he imagined - but listening to a horn sound in the Ashina Sero army array, At the same time, Li Zhen also led his troops to speed up, and covered the white wolf army that was rushing towards the white wolf army that was rushing over at high speed.

It's over, it's completely over! At this time, the white wolf army, which was eager to grab the merits, was attacked by Ashina Sero's department on both sides, and the entire charging team was in chaos, and the front and rear armies were forcibly broken into several sections, except for the more than 1,000 horsemen around him, the rest were all caught in chaos. Seeing that he had made a thousand calculations, but in the end he still fell into Ashina Thero's plot, Yibi Baduo's eyes were red with anger, and in the face of Li Zhen who was galloping, he roared and led his troops to meet him, intending to take Li Zhen first, and then make plans.

Oh, damn it, I really pinch Lao Tzu as a soft persimmon, little sample, watch Lao Tzu capture you! As soon as Li Zhen saw that Yibi did not try to gather the remnants to break through, but instead killed himself, he immediately understood the intention of Yibi Baduo, secretly sneered, unceremoniously rushed over, waved the bright silver gun in his hand, and shouted: "Kill!" The spear struck out like lightning, and struck it by the throat that Ebi had snatched.

Although he is the eldest prince, he is not a pampered waste, he has been rolling on the battlefield since he was a child, and he is also a famous brave general among the Western Turkic generals with a force of force, at this time, he saw that Li Zhen's gun came quickly, but he was not to be outdone, his body twisted, let go of the tip of the gun, and with a wave of his hand, the scimitar had been attached to Li Zhen's gun, and the spear was extremely fast, and he planned to cut off Li Zhen's fingers with the speed of the horse.

Good boy, there are really two hits! Li Zhen saw that Yibi Bazhuo's reaction was extremely fast, and secretly shouted in his heart, but his subordinates were not slow, but when he saw Li Zhen, he broke off and shouted: "Open!" With a flick of the wrist, the bright silver spear shook violently, and under the full operation of the "True Yang Jue", an indestructible strength on the gun body suddenly burst out, and the scimitar that was originally attached to the gun body was immediately shaken open, and its strength was so great that it was not at all what Yi Bi could bear, only to hear the sound of "bell", the tiger's mouth of Yi Bi was cracked, and he was no longer able to hold the handle of the knife, and the scimitar turned into a flying Hong and was high in the air.

Not good! Yi Bi didn't expect Li Zhen's strength to be so great, and when the scimitar was out of his hand, the person immediately panicked, hid in a kick, and tried to rush past Li Zhen's side with the speed of the horse, but he never thought that his actions had already been in Li Zhen's calculations, but when he saw Li Zhen, he shouted: "Get up!" The spear in his hand accelerated and stabbed, accurately pierced into the belly of the horse, and suddenly picked it up, and actually picked up the Yibi Puller and the people and horses, and threw the Ibiba and the people and horses into the white wolf army soldiers who rushed over, and immediately smashed the white wolf army forwards who rushed to kill into a mess, and the men and horses threw themselves on the ground, and the dead and wounded were in disarray.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Li Zhen took advantage of the panic of the White Wolf Army's forwards, rushed to kill the past, drank violently, the bright silver spear in his hand stabbed left and right, and killed more than a dozen people in an instant, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep as unstoppable, the Tang Army cavalry behind Li Zhen saw that their main general was so brave, and their morale was immediately boosted, and they rushed to kill the generals, and killed the White Wolf Army strikers who were equal in number to their own.

"Withdraw!" After defeating the advance of the White Wolf Army, Li Zhen did not wave his army to pounce on the battle group that had already become a mess, and did not even care about the life or death of Yibi Ba, and led more than 1,000 Tang cavalry to withdraw from the battle, and joined with the more than 4,000 Tang troops who had been waiting outside the formation, and watched the fierce battle between the White Wolf Army and Ashina Sero's troops under Niutou Ridge.

The White Wolf Army is indeed very strong, although it was plotted as soon as it came up, and lost its main general, and there was no unified command, but it did not flee because of this, but fought separately under the drive of a sub-intermediate general, and fought desperately with Ashina Thero's department, but it was a pity that the number of people was small, and secondly, they could not cooperate with each other. Even the main general of Ebi Batu also died in the chaos, of course, Ashina Sero's department did not get too much cheap, and also paid more than 5,000 casualties, this battle can only be regarded as a defeat for both sides, so far, the war in the Hami area is over.

The battle is won, of course, it is worth being happy, and it is worth celebrating to provoke the civil strife in the Western Turks, but Li Zhen does not have a trace of glory in his heart, without him, the battle here is over, but there are still many follow-up matters, there is no hope of dealing with it in ten days and half a month, and at this time Gaochang is in crisis, Li Zhen can only sit and wait here, and he can't do anything at all, if Gaochang loses, things are only afraid of twists and turns, but the matter has come to this, Li Zhen can only hope that a miracle has happened......
