Chapter 654: Turkic Change of Generals

Turkic battalions.

A man in gold armor also stared at the sun, his eyes solemn and angry.

Sword and shield soldiers, cavalry and archers fought together, nearly 30,000 people, but only escaped back to less than 3,000 cavalry, the rest were all killed, and the opponent was less than 10,000, how did this battle be fought?

The Tang Army's combat power is so strong?

What is it that can attack from a distance, burst into flames, and blow down a large area?

Incredible thoughts lingered in my mind, unable to dissipate for a long time, stunned, motionless, like a human figurine with its soul drained, not daring, and unwilling to believe what it saw.

"The Great Prince?" An old man next to him shouted worriedly.

The man in the golden armor came to his senses and looked at the old man.

The old man hurriedly said: "The eldest prince, the enemy army is cleaning up the battlefield, hunting and killing the wounded of our army, the guard is not more than a thousand people, the opportunity is rare, please send troops to continue the attack." ”

"No!" A middle-aged general hurriedly said.

"Presumptuous, do you have a part in talking here?" The old man scolded dissatisfiedly.

The middle-aged general looked aggrieved, but he held back and looked at the golden-armored man.

The golden-armored man was the Turkic prince, looked at the old man and said: "Don't worry, Lord Shaman, General Wuchi is the most knowledgeable person under the king's account, and his knowledge is extraordinary, so it is better to listen to what General Wuchi has to say before deciding." As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged general and asked with his eyes.

The middle-aged general said gratefully: "Thank you for the praise of the eldest prince, the subordinates thought that the strangeness of this defeat was not that the soldiers were not brave enough, nor that there was a problem with the arrangement of troops, but that the defeat was in the Tang Army's never-before-seen weapons, which could attack from a distance, and a large number of people fell down with a sound, and it was like thunder, and it could also attack in the process, such as throwing square objects from the mountain, which was more powerful, and did not find a way to restrain them, and how many people went up were in vain to increase casualties." ”

"Bastard, you're growing up with other people's ambitions." The old man scolded dissatisfiedly.

General Wuchi did not answer, only looked at the eldest prince.

The eldest prince looked at the old man with some dissatisfaction, but when he thought of the identity of the old man, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Lord Shaman, what do you think?" ”

"We should take advantage of the fact that the Tang army is cleaning up the battlefield and suddenly attacking when it is defenseless, relying on the mobility and speed of our Turkic cavalry to rush up and crush them, don't forget that the Tang army is also flesh and blood, and after fighting so far, it is bound to be tired and difficult to fight again." The shaman said in a deep voice.

These words were not unreasonable, and several nearby generals nodded thoughtfully.

The Turks are good at field warfare, horse archery, horse warfare, and rush forward while the opponent is cleaning up the battlefield, and the odds of victory are very high, and we don't know how many times we have experienced the same battle.

The eldest prince was not willing to fail, and when he thought that he would lose the opportunity to compete and become a laughing stock after failure, he became more and more unwilling in his heart, but he knew his own ability, and couldn't help but look at Wu Chi.

As a confidant of the eldest prince, how could he not know the thoughts of the eldest prince? But he still said truthfully: "The eldest prince, it is a rare opportunity to rush and kill at this time, but how could the Tang army not know why he is still so arrogant in cleaning the battlefield, and even only letting a thousand people suppress the formation?" There must be something to rely on. ”

A word can also be regarded as a wake-up call for everyone present.

The Tang Army's combat effectiveness is so strong, and it is still the Han King who has made great achievements in command, how could he make such a mistake, it must be a conspiracy, trying to attract everyone to go up.

The shaman felt that his authority was being provoked, and his face was big, and he said in a cold voice: "It's just speculation, if the Tang army is trying to cover up, but in fact, it is powerless to fight, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity?" ”

This also makes sense, and a shaman's cronie jumped out and said: "The Tang army is in a suspicious formation, using the flashlight of cleaning the battlefield to deceive us, making us think that it is a conspiracy, a trap, and it is really blackmail, if our army does not attack, they can take the opportunity to clean up the battlefield and retreat calmly." ”

"That's right, it must be like this, the Tang army is also a human being, how can it fight for a long time, worried that the hasty retreat will arouse the suspicion of our army, chase and kill, simply do the opposite, the Tang people have always been cunning, complicated thoughts, what kind of fiction and truth do they have in their military books, they are very around, they must be deceiving us." One fighter jumped out in agreement.

The other generals secretly exchanged colors, and they also echoed and asked for battle.

Wu Chi didn't understand that the battle was just a pretense, and the real purpose was to suppress himself, and he was staring at the position of the first person in the army under the eldest prince's account.

For a moment, he was disheartened and looked at the eldest prince.

The eldest prince is not stupid, and naturally he can see everyone's thoughts, but he is not against this kind of competition, and it is more terrible for the people below to unite together, Wu Chi is a lonely minister, and he is more at ease to use, so he immediately raised his hand, signaled everyone not to fight anymore, looked at Wu Chi and asked, "Say what you think?" ”

"Back to the eldest prince, if the 1,000 people who pressed the formation also carried strange weapons, which could attack from a distance, so that the war horses were frightened, bombed the camp, and ran around, then our army would not be able to rush up at all, and then the Tang army would cover up and smash the big tent of the Chinese army, what should we do?" Wu Chi said and looked at everyone, his eyes sharp.

Everyone's faces changed slightly, and they didn't dare to answer.

If this is the case, it means that the eldest prince's life is threatened, and no one dares to joke about this.

The shaman didn't dare, he wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The eldest prince felt that Wu Chi was loyal to him and his ability to perceive the battle situation, and his heart rejoiced, and he asked, "Wu Chi, what do you think should happen next?" ”

"The archers guard the outside of the camp, the cavalry presses the formation, the big tent is in the center, and the defense is in the big array, once the enemy attacks, the arrows are shot and killed, and the cavalry charges when necessary, while the eagle transmits the message, and the troops are drawn from all over the place to come immediately, as long as the king of the Han of the Tang Kingdom is defeated, the big prince will be incomparably prestigious, and no one can match it." Wu Chi solemnly proposed.

The latter sentence is even more about the heart of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince became more and more happy, and asked, "In this case, there are not enough soldiers and horses everywhere, what should we do?" ”

"The Tang army does not come out of the city, our army only needs to leave the same soldiers and horses to besiege the city, the enemy does not come out, I do not attack, the enemy is dispatched, the great Turkic warriors in the field are not afraid of anyone, and the same strength will win, as long as Yangguan is taken, defeat the Han King, and then turn back to clean up the Tang army in various places, then our army will be invincible with the power of great victory."

"Good!"

The eldest prince excitedly praised and looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone complained in their hearts - you have said it, can you still oppose it?

However, everyone also knows that this is indeed the most reasonable, and the siege is not good at attacking the city, rather than letting the large army smash the city, it is better to besiege but not attack, and concentrate the troops to take Yangguan, which is to cheapen the Wuchi, after this battle, the Wuchi will inevitably be prestigious, and it will be more difficult to ban.

Seeing that there was no objection, the eldest prince decisively ordered: "Everyone, from now on, the army on the right will be controlled and commanded by General Wuchi, and whoever dares not to obey will be dealt with by military law!" ”

The faces of the crowd changed greatly, but they did not dare to object.

Wu Chi didn't expect the eldest prince to trust him so much, and couldn't help but look at the shaman, although the previous battle was not directly commanded by the shaman, but it was also the shaman's final nod, and half of the generals on the battlefield were shamans.

The shaman wanted to object, but all of his henchmen had just been killed in the battle, and they had no confidence.

After weighing for a moment, the shaman put down his anger in his heart, and there was no approval or opposition.

The eldest prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Wuchi, don't disappoint this king. ”

"I am willing to die for the eldest prince!" Wu Chi replied solemnly.

Soon, the Turkic battalion noticed the change.

A large number of archers rushed out, formed a formation on the periphery, distributed in a triangle, and held three directions respectively, countless carriages pulling goods blocked the front, forming obstacles to block the opponent's charge, and the cavalry retreated behind the archers, protecting the big tent of the Chinese army, and several flying eagles rushed into the sky, screaming far away.

A murderous aura permeated the camp.

Yangguan, on a commanding height.

Qin Huaidao was a little surprised when he saw this scene, and faintly felt that the Turkic style had changed greatly, as if he had changed his personal command, he was actually triangular in distribution, the troops were deployed, and it was not easy to be bombed, and at the same time it was like a hedgehog array, and the archer was the thorn on the hedgehog's body, and he had to die if he hit it.

"Hey, it's changed?" Luo Wu was also surprised.

"Any thoughts?" Qin Huaidao asked casually.

"The Turks are switching from offense to defense, and the eagle is far away, I'm afraid that Uncle will really guess that they can't afford to lose, while defending, they will transfer troops to help, however, the deployment of troops seems to be unfavorable to our army, but in fact it is still a live target, just shell a corner of the triangle, a little breakthrough, it will be all chaos."

Qin Huaidao smiled appreciatively: "That's because you are familiar with artillery shells, but the Turks are not familiar with it, this is undoubtedly the best choice, in the face of artillery bombardment, of course, it is better to spread out the troops than to gather in one place, the triangle defense is also the most stable, one corner is attacked, and the other two corners can support at any time, it seems that the Turks have taken over the command, if you don't want to attract more Turkic reinforcements, I really want to try the fire now." ”

"No matter how high it is, it can't be as high as Uncle, when I turn around, I will take the Guards Regiment straight to the big tent and arrest him to see how high it is." Luo Wu said nonchalantly.
