Chapter 297: The Situation Turns

The Linghui army rushed all the way to Liangzhou City, and the news that Li Hao led his troops to defeat the Turkic army of 50,000 had spread all over the world.

For a while, the people's hearts were attached, coupled with Yuwen Chengyu's unsparing propaganda, along the way, the people of Shazhou continued to join the Linghui Army and drove to the city of Liangzhou with the army, bound to take revenge on the Turkic barbarians.

In just two days, the original team of less than 5,000 has grown to 20,000.

There are also hundreds of people who do not want to reciprocate, and continue to send supplies to the Linghui army to support them against the Turkic army.

Now the Turkic army of 100,000 is trapped in the city of Liangzhou and does not dare to come out, and the 270,000 army of Li Hao and Qin Shubao cannot be attacked. The two sides can only confront each other and fall into the middle of the generals.

In Liangzhou City, Jieli Khan sat on the throne, his face gloomy, and there was a bit of anxiety between his eyebrows.

"How's the reinforcements going?"

"The letter for help has been sent back to the Turks, the army has been assembled, and reinforcements will come in a few days!"

When Jieli heard the news, his face did not improve by half a point.

As a king, can you still not understand this little way?

Although the Turks have been unified, there are not a few people in the court who are eyeing their throne as Khan. Now that they are trapped in the territory of Datang, these people will definitely seize power at the opportunity. Those courtiers who are loyal to themselves are probably overwhelmed just by dealing with these people, and I am afraid that it will take a while to send reinforcements.

The reason why the generals around him would say that reinforcements would arrive soon was just to appease the army.

Now that the invincible Turkic army has fallen into a crisis, if you want to turn defeat into victory, you can only rely on allies!

Thinking of this, Jieli's eyes sank suddenly: "The plan has reached this point, if you can't surprise Ben Khan again, Ben Khan will only have to draw a line with you in the future!" ”

In the Linghui barracks.

"Hahaha! There is already a commotion in the Turkic lair! The three princes rebelled, and it may not be easy to suppress this group of rebels, let alone reinforcements! ”

During the meal, Blackegg laughed and talked about the situation on the Turkic side.

Li Hao was eating while thinking about his future plans.

According to the current situation, it is impossible for the Turkic side to have reinforcements to reinforce the Khan King for a while, and if the Tang Dynasty is giving some strength, maybe it will really be able to capture Jie Lisheng in one sentence. This is a great achievement that the Tang Dynasty in real history has never done!

Striking while the iron was hot, Li Hao put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Without further ado!" Cheng Yu, Zhang Qi, I order the two of you to bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to intercept the Turkic grain route, and you must not let a single grain be sent to Liangzhou! I'm going to completely trap the Turks in Liangzhou! ”

"Yes!" When Yuwen Chengyu and the others heard the order, they immediately put away their frivolous appearance, and they didn't bother to eat, so they immediately led their troops out of the barracks.

"Black egg, you go back to Chang'an, tell Lao Li about the Turkic war, let him be a little more powerful this time, we should close the net!"

"Understood!"

"The rest of the people are with me, let's cooperate with General Qin to call the battle together, and we must not let the Turks be idle!"

In this way, Li Hao personally went into battle, and together with Qin Shubao, he continued to call war against the Turks in Liangzhou. The entire Turkic army was not at peace for a moment.

This Turkic attack on Liangzhou was a blitzkrieg, and the Turks did not bring much grain and grass at all. Now that the two knives have been blocked, the daily consumption of grain and grass by the 100,000 army alone is a headache for Jieli, not to mention the provocation of the Tang army.

If the war has been closed for a long time, it will inevitably hit morale even more. But if there is a war, now that the army is disheartened, who can beat Li Hao and Qin Shubao? Defeat will also hit morale, and it will be a dead end.

After only ten days, the grain and grass of the Turkic army was already difficult to maintain, and without sufficient food and grass, this Turkic royal army began to be in chaos.

Good things come in pairs, and there is also good news from the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin learned that Liangzhou had won a big victory, and even the strong enemy of King Jieli Khan was trapped in Liangzhou.

Later, with the famous general Li Jing as the commander, he led 100,000 troops to reinforce the front line, vowing to completely break through Liangzhou with superior forces and capture Najieli in one fell swoop.

Hearing this news, Li Hao was also in high spirits, this old Li finally gave a hand, and he was no longer swayed by those stubborn old ministers.

Qin Shubao and Li Hao on both sides of 70,000 people can block Jieli in Liangzhou for so long and dare not come out, if you add the 100,000 army of Li Jing, a famous general, to break through Liangzhou and capture Jieli, is it not easy to capture?

Siege warfare was not Li Hao's strong point, and he didn't think of mixing up with this battle with a swollen face and a fat man, so he simply drove the whole army out and moved his position to the route of the Turkic retreats to set up ambushes along the road.

Since you have come to the land of Datang, don't think about it so easy to return.

With the help of a large army, the Turkic grain route was completely locked, and there was no more grain to send to Liangzhou, and Jieli was completely out of food.

"There are still two months to go, Lao Qin and Lao Cheng, you have to seize this opportunity!" Li Hao stood on the official road and said softly.

This time, Li Hao was ready to be a foil, and handed over all the credit for defeating Jieli to Qin Shubao and them.

But the original situation was nine out of ten, but it suddenly took a sharp turn, Li Hao waited for a real month on the route of the enemy's retreat, and did not see a single Turkic soldier.

As the days passed, Li Hao's heart was faintly uneasy, and he always felt that something bad would happen.

On the 34th day, bad news came from the front line, and the 150,000 army led by Qin Shubao, Li Jing, and Cheng Yanjin, three peerless famous generals, was defeated by Jieli's 100,000 Turkic barbarians.

In just three encounters, the Tang Dynasty lost more than 80,000 men, and the Tang army front was pushed back fifty miles. The front is in jeopardy.

Hearing the news, Li Hao jumped up directly.

"What do you say! Lao Qin, they were defeated, how could they be defeated! ”

Hei Dan's expression was a little anxious: "I don't know the owner, but the Tang army is defeated!" We're in the heart of the land right now, and it's too dangerous! ”

Li Hao forcibly suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and his brain was running rapidly, examining the current form.

Hei Dan is right, now that the Tang army has been repulsed, and King Jieli Khan has regrouped, if this news spreads to the Turkic country, the civil strife will definitely subside immediately, and the Turkic reinforcements will be reinforced. Even after Jieli freed his hand, he would immediately lead his troops to counterattack the Linghui army that blocked their retreat.

There's no time to be shocked here.

Li Hao made a quick decision and immediately dismissed the people of Shazhou who temporarily filled the vacancy in the army, and let them go home and hide on their own.

Then gather the remaining forces of the Linghui Army, march all the way along the route into the sandbank, and desperately rush back to the territory of Datang to join Qin Shubao and them.

If you don't hurry up and find a way to curb their momentum, I'm afraid that this time the Tang Dynasty will not lose a piece of sandbank, and the shame of the Turkic soldiers coming to Chang'an may be repeated.

After a month of correction, the physical strength of the soldiers of the Linghui Army has recovered, and the situation is urgent at the moment, and they have not complained at all.
