Chapter 666: Zhega's Choice

The two armies are in front.

Luo Ying stared at the prince of Khotan and shouted: "The king of Han has the virtue of a good life, I will give you the opportunity to surrender, otherwise you will be killed, and at that time, the Kingdom of Khotan will not let go, where to go, decide quickly." ”

Zhega's face changed, death was not terrible, and he was ready to die in battle, but once the eldest prince was defeated, he would inevitably retreat back.

The reason why he sent troops to support the eldest prince was to take the opportunity to drive away the Hanzhou army and relieve the pressure on Khotan.

Now the right army led by the eldest prince suffered heavy losses, and the Turkic Khan led the left army to bypass from the north and went to Chang'an, the Turkic rear was empty, and there was no way to send troops to support Khotan, not to mention that the great prince was defeated, and nine times out of ten the responsibility was placed on the Khotanese kingdom, where would he send troops to support?

Without Turkic support, Khotan could not stop the Hanzhou army at all.

The thought flashed, and the heart was sad and chaotic.

Luo Ying also knew a little about the Turkic tribes, and continued: "The Kingdom of Khotan is just one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and it is Turkic moderation, not jurisdiction, what's the matter? Could it be that the Kingdom of Rainy Days is loyal to the Turks, and since this is the case, then let's fight. ”

In a word, the threat is full of meaning.

Zhe Ka was unwilling and did not answer.

Luo Ying said impatiently: "If the Qiang Kingdom is divided into three, and the three major tribes of Putao, Dianhe and Crossbow have all been submitted to the King of Han and become the Hanzhou Army, if you don't know this, the Kingdom of Jimo adjacent to your Kingdom of Khotan must know, right?" And the end of the kingdom refused to surrender, the high-level and nobles were all killed, the same to the king of Han, and up and down the same heart, to resist the Turkic prince for a long time, you in the Khotanese kingdom also want to step into the footsteps of the end of the kingdom? ”

"This?"

The unwilling heart of Zhega began to loosen, and the affairs of the last kingdom were indeed clear, the high-ranking and nobles were all killed, and the property was distributed, and the hearts of the people were gathered, and no one jumped out to avenge the nobles, not to mention, but also to work together to resist the Turkic army, and all returned to their hearts.

The same method was applied to the Khotanese kingdom, and Zhega did not believe that the tribesmen would jump out to rebel and avenge the slain royal family, and even thanked the Hanzhou army for giving them food to live.

After some weighing, there is no fighting spirit.

"Ahh

A sigh, countless sorrows.

The situation is stronger than people, if you fight, you will die, and you will also bring the disaster of killing to Khotan, die in vain, no one will avenge yourself, surrender is different, at least you can live, you can keep the Khotanese royal family.

If you want to take the lesser of harm, not to mention that you don't have a choice.

Zhega weighed the pros and cons and asked, "If the Kingdom of Khotan is surrendered, how will the King of Han be settled?" ”

"By surrendering all rights, the existing private property can be retained, and the whole family can live."

This result is very bad, but at least the whole clan can survive, and the private property will not be difficult to live, and Ega is not an indecisive person, and asked, "Is this true?" ”

"King Han never breaks his word!"

"In this way, our army is willing to surrender!"

"Wait."

Luo Ying didn't expect that the persuasion would be successful, and he would not be able to rectify it later, so he pulled the horse's head back to the formation, and explained the situation, Qin Huaidao heard that the other party was willing to surrender, but he was a decisive person, he knew how to make trade-offs, understood the overall situation, thought about it, and said: "Let him lead the troops to chase and kill the Turkic prince, and surrender requires a vote." ”

"Understood!" Luo Ying nodded knowingly, came to the front of the battle again and said: "The King of Han has an order, allowing you to submit to obedience, but you need to vote for your name and order you to lead your troops to attack the Turkic prince to show your sincerity." ”

Zhega had long thought that this would be the case, and nodded in agreement.

Luo Ying waved his hand and signaled the special operations division to let go of an opening, and let the people leave, not worried that the other party would surrender by fraud, and the monk would not be able to escape the temple.

As soon as the people left, Li Jing led people over quickly, and shouted excitedly from a distance: "Haha, the virtuous nephew has good means, guarding Yangguan, fighting the Turks, and receiving it in Khotan, the old man admires it." ”

"It's a pity that I didn't catch the battle." Fang Yiai muttered depressedly.

Qin Huaidao didn't hold it up, hit his horse to meet him, and said, "Thank you Shibo for coming over to support, otherwise this battle will be dangerous, and the road will be good." ”

"What's dangerous, the old man doesn't look dangerous at all, if we don't come over, maybe the Turks will choose to attack at night, I'm afraid they will die more at that time, speaking of which, the arrival of the old man will disrupt your rhythm, as for us, it's good all the way, and the rest of the horses are resting at Yumen Pass." Li Jing's combat experience is so old and spicy that he has already judged a lot through various signs.

Qin Huaidao did not deny it, and Zhengse said: "The Turkic prince is leading his troops to fight with Luo Zhang, and the time is pressing. ”

"Is it a war? Give the order. Fang Yiai's eyes lit up.

"Lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to the west as soon as possible, and the baggage troops and the clan soldiers of An Guogong are led by Shibo, Shibo, you have to work." Qin Huaidao ordered decisively.

"No problem, then I'll go." Fang Yiai excitedly agreed, as long as there is a fight.

"It's okay, it's the old man's wish to be able to fight on the battlefield again, the old man has to thank you, the battlefield is not peaceful, there can only be one voice, even if you have something to order, you don't need to be polite to the old man." Li Jing said gratefully.

"Thank you, Shibo!" Qin Huaidao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Li Jing relied on his life and didn't listen to orders, this battle would be really difficult to command.

The soldiers were fast, Li Jing and Fang Yiai solemnly clasped their fists and saluted, and hurriedly went.

Qin Huaidao also hurried west with the special operations division.

……

On a barren Gobi.

The three generals rode their horses side by side, staring coldly ahead, it was Luo Tong in the center, Luo Zhang and Su Dingfang stood on both sides, and behind them was a silent army, the war horses snorted, scraped the ground, restless, and a murderous atmosphere permeated the sky.

"It's coming!"

Luo Tong stared at the roaring army in front of him, Tong Kong shrank suddenly, the killing intent burst out, the horse lance tightened, looked at Luo Zhang and said: "The enemy army is menacing, there are many troops, the soldiers are fighting a fierce battle, be careful." ”

"Dad, take care of yourself." Luo Zhang admonished.

"Stinky boy, your wings are stiff, aren't they?" Luo Tong scolded, but his face was full of relief, and he turned his head to look at Su Dingfang: "General Su, I will kill head-on, how about you take people around the flank?" ”

"General Luo, there is a certain strategy, it is better for you and me to concentrate our forces and take the Chinese army directly, once the Turkic prince dies, the rest will be defeated and flee in all directions." Su Dingfang proposed.

Luo Tong was a little tempted and looked at Luo Zhang.

Luo Zhang thought for a while and said: "The three of us join forces to take the lead, the chance is greater, but the casualties will not be small, it is better to press the formation with bows and arrows, delay the time, I estimate that Uncle will soon come to support." ”

"The scouts came to report, the Turks left 10,000 guards to guard Yangguan, and nearly 30,000 people in the Khotanese Kingdom confronted Wei Guogong, Wei Guogong's side couldn't make a move, there were less than 10,000 people around the young master, even if it took time to kill the 10,000 guards left, once this time is too long, our army may not be able to bear it." Su Dingfang reminded.

Luo Zhang said with a confident face: "General Su knows very little about the special operations division around Uncle, and it is normal to have this judgment, in my estimation, the 10,000 Turkic guards left behind can't hold a stick of incense for a long time, at this time, Uncle may be joining forces with Wei Guogong to deal with the Khotanese army, at most one hour can solve the battle, our army insists on one hour is no problem, when the time comes, the front and back will be flanked, the Turks don't want to run, and the loss of our army will not be large." ”

"This is not a trivial matter, are you sure that you can come over in an hour?" Su Dingfang was taken aback, that was more than 30,000 people, even if 30,000 pigs were caught, it would take time, not to mention that there were 10,000 Turkic elite guards.

"Believe me, believe Uncle!" Luo Zhang's face was determined.

Su Dingfang didn't know where Luo Zhang's confidence came from, but he knew that Luo Zhang would not joke at this time, so he couldn't help but be a little more curious about the special operations division and no longer objected.

"Since this is the case, then the archers will press the formation first, delay the time, it's really not good, you and I will lead the army to kill and behead it, and all the archers will come out of the line and take thirty steps forward." Luo Tong made a decision.

The order was quickly passed down.

The archers of the army all stepped forward and divided into three phalanxes, and a passage was formed in the middle of the phalanx to facilitate the cavalry to accompany them.

Luo Tong, Su Dingfang, and Luo Zhang rode horses and stood in the passage, looking at the approaching Turkic army and saying nothing.

Three phalanxes, tens of thousands of archers stretched their bows and arrows, like a huge hedgehog, which is not trivial.

The Turkic armies that rushed up reined in one after another, stopped outside the firing range, and did not dare to fight hard.

The eldest prince stepped forward immediately, looking at the archers who had already lined up with their eyes, if they really rushed forward, there was no doubt how many people would die, and turned his head to look at Wu Chi behind him and asked, "Why don't they attack directly, or flee, what is their intention to stop?" ”

"I'm afraid it's stalling for time." Wu Chi solemnly reminded.

"Stalling for whom? Could it be that someone else is coming? The eldest prince looked at the shaman suspiciously, and asked, "Now that the army is under your command, how will you fight next?" ”

"It's just an archer, just put pressure on the front, and then send the cavalry to flank and detour up, and attack behind it." The shaman said nonchalantly.

"It makes sense, so, it's hard work."

The eldest prince pretended to be excitedly agreed, anyway, you don't need to make your own moves, you can fight how you like, you have merit if you win, and if you lose, you can just throw the pot, and you can weaken the opponent's strength.
