"Circle, circle! Marshal, why not stick to the round formation? This not only reduces casualties, but also gives the horses a break. If the enemy dares to continue to harass mosquitoes, there will be a rain of arrows around the circle array......" Duan Zhixuan put forward his opinion.

The eyes of the other people lit up, yes, the circle was stubborn. Our bows and crossbows are stronger than those of the other side, and if they dare to continue to shoot arrows closer, then our circle will rain arrows in all directions.

But old Li Jing shook his head and said: "No, if the war horse stops, the enemy will not continue to attack like this." On the contrary, they will defend and attack, and directly use the sharp arrow formation to gouge through, our group of cavalry is not infantry, and there is no equipment to use infantry to overcome cavalry. In front of the galloping cavalry, it was a live target. ”

"Hou Junji must have seen through this, otherwise he would not have chosen to exchange his life for his life like this."

Cheng Yanjin said anxiously: "Then keep changing like this?" Marshal, the loss of the soldiers is halved, and the morale is halved...... Even if Hou Junji's soldiers were all elite, they could lose two achievements at most, and their morale was greatly reduced. ”

Old Li Jing sighed helplessly: "Now, I can only fight for morale." Every time a few hundred people are sacrificed, the Turks also lose two hundred, if they are not as tough as our army......"

Will it?

Ordinary steppe wolf soldiers may raid the border and fight the grass valley all the year round, without rules and rules, and run away when they take advantage.

But this is the Turkic royal court guard, the most elite under Jieli, and the will to fight is not comparable to ordinary steppe cavalry.

In fact, just as Li Jing expected, when the two sides fought each other until they lost 5,000 people, the atmosphere on the battlefield changed.

To everyone's surprise, the first to be uneasy was Tang Jun? On the contrary, it was the Turkic side, which had lost so many hundred-man teams in a row, and was still tirelessly using attack tactics.

At the head of the city, Li Chengqian, who was originally full of anticipation, was stunned, his nervous fingertips turned white and his teeth were clenched.

Jieli laughed and said: "Now, do you dare to say that Datang will win?" Even you can see that Tang Jun is scared, I don't know what about Tang Jun below? If you surrender directly, you can still have fewer casualties. ”

Li Chengqian said angrily: "You people have died as much, and we Datang will not surrender." ”

Jieli laughed, "That's my royal guard, they are warriors who can die for Ben Khan's loyalty, Ben Khan doesn't give orders, they would rather all die in battle." ”

Hiss...... Li Chengqian was frightened.

Hou Junji also saw the restlessness of the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"For Datang!"

……

This slogan only endured two waves of arrows, and soon the morale fell again, and everyone knew that this war did not seem to be for the Tang Dynasty, but just to save the prince who was in trouble.

"General, we don't have enough arrows......

"yes, there are only fifteen arrows left."

Hou Junji's heart tightened, he raised his head and took a closer look at the Turkic soldiers around him, and saw that there were not many arrows left by the other party's side, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"They're also at the end of the crossbow, ready to fight in close combat!"

Melee fights? We have broken so many brothers, and now there are only 13,000 left of 20,000 people, and we still have to fight in close combat? When has such a battle been fought? In the past, the soldiers were killed in three, and everyone had already fled for their lives.

That's right, because it was an appointment battle, the Tang army was more tenacious than usual this time. But they never thought that the other party would be more tenacious than them. Could it be that the Turkic cavalry rumored before were all false rumors?

The Turkic Right Sage looked at the fifteen thousand men he had left, and laughed, it turns out that we have won.

The generals of the Tang army who watched the battle on the gentle slope had an ugly face, so they lost? Our elite cavalry in Datang who have been training hard for a year have lost like this? After betting on 40,000 excellent war horses, it took a lot of effort to get it in Youzhou......

Old Li Jing sighed and said, "Prepare to withdraw our troops, we lost this battle." ”

"Dashuai, or, do you want to wait and see? Looking at that posture, it seems that General Hou Junji will continue to fight again. Duan Zhixuan reminded.

Everyone looked at the battlefield, and sure enough, Hou Junji drew his waist knife, and all the Tang soldiers drew out their melee sabers.

It's just that they are far away and can't see the expressions of the Tang army, and many soldiers are frightened, as if they don't want to continue fighting. It was only because of the military order that the knife was drawn.

Old Li Jing's eyes were cold, and he scolded sharply: "Confused! The morale is completely gone, the number is inferior, and if you continue to fight, you will be defeated. Daxu sent an order, immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops, and sent someone to Dingxiang to tell Jieli that we would admit defeat in this battle. ”

"Daxu heralds, Mingjin withdraws the troops!"

Dangdangdang......

The gong sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the Tang army camp.

Hou Junji's face was defeated, his eyes were full of resentment, this was the result of his hard work in Luoyang for a year, he wanted to become famous in one battle, but he didn't expect to be unfavorable, and he lost the first battle.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, Hou Junji still had to order to withdraw from the battlefield, after all, the soldiers around him had long lost their fighting spirit.

Under Dingxiang City, the messenger sent by Li Jing shouted loudly: "Jieli Khan, our Li Dashuai sent the last general to report that we will admit defeat in this battle!" Let's stop fighting. ”

Li Chengqian sat on the ground weakly, holding back his tears.

Who Cheng wanted to be lucky, but laughed wildly, "Go back and tell you Li Dashuai that this battle will not end until one soldier and one soldier will be counted." Throwing in the towel doesn't count as ......"

What???

The Courier tried to plead his case, but things were already happening on the battlefield.

Under the order of the Turkic Right Xian King, all the Turkic soldiers drew their waist knives and frantically launched a tail-of-the-same pursuit, the morale of the Tang Dynasty was gone, but the morale of the Turks soared.

"Sons, the Tang Army wants to escape, cover up for me, don't let one go!" The Right Sage King shouted.

Hou Junji and the others had already collected their blades and turned their horses' heads, but when they turned around, they saw that the other party didn't follow the rules, and Mingjin had to chase and kill when he collected his troops?

"Shameless! Spread my military order, the Turks will be wiped out, we will fight with them! ”

"General, we can run......"

"Bastard! The Turkic horses are fast, we can't outrun them, and if we don't resist, we're waiting for death! Left and right is a death, it is better to fight! ”

It is better to send generals than to provoke generals, and Hou Junji deserves to be a famous general. As soon as these words came out, a group of defeated soldiers were instantly provoked into mourning soldiers, and they didn't escape, damn, turn around and fight with them, there are many of you, our armor is sharp, who is afraid of whom?

So a hand-to-hand white-knuckle battle began, and for a time the entire battlefield became a meat grinder for cavalry.

When Lao Li Jing heard Jieli's reply, his teeth itched with hatred, and he roared angrily: "Order, all armies are ready to fight and prepare to attack the city to rescue General Hou!" ”

That's right, siege and rescue, besiege Wei to save Zhao.

And Xiao Rui from Yunzhou, Shanxi Province also finished his guess at this time, and the Metropolitan Governor Li Ji was full of astonishment, and sat on the chair weakly, "So, what is this compared to the fighting cavalry, it is completely Jieli's trick?" Regardless of victory or defeat, Jieli will not perform the contract truthfully? ”

Xiao Rui nodded heavily: "Not bad." Our Datang has always been based on infantry, and finally we have a pure cavalry, which has been cultivated at a huge cost, and it can be used in a big war. Jieli would never allow this cavalry team to come out and stir up the situation. So my guess is that he's going to kill as much as he can, and it's a pretense to make a bet or something. ”

Li Ji was puzzled: "But, if it's such a strategy, can't Li Dashuai see it?" ”

Xiao Rui sighed and said: "A gentleman can deceive him, presumably this is Zhao Deyan's poisonous plan, bullying Dashuai, a trustworthy person." No one would have imagined that Jieli would be shameless to the point of being vicious. ”
