"That's why I've been reluctant to send people from the West to attack Zijin Pass."

Ronald looked at Tanli depressedly: "Let them go, it will only cheapen Li Jiangyao for nothing." After this battle, not a single Zhenjiang army died, but the subordinate army fled directly more than 2,400 people. ”

Tamley's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said viciously: "If you escape from the battle, you should kill them all!" ”

Ronia sneered: "Kill them all? The strength of the subordinate army in the Western Xinjiang is close to 100,000 here, you come and tell me, how to kill? What if you push them into a hurry and rebel directly? ”

Tanli was stunned, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Do you just tolerate them like this?" ”

"Unless you go and tell the Great Khan, we don't want Zijin Pass." "In that case, I can immediately arrange the main Turkic force to besiege and kill the subordinate army." ”

Stanley was dumbfounded by him, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Uncle, even if you don't clean up those Western Frontier soft eggs now, you can't keep them by your side anymore." Hurry up and send the subordinate army back to the imperial capital, and ask Father Khan to deal with the generals who have fornicated with the enemy. ”

Ronia nodded, "I think so too." Some of the people of the West have begun to waver in their minds, and this will spread like a plague until all the subordinate armies are infected. Put it next to us, and you may stab you in the back at any time! ”

He paused slightly, and continued: "However, our actions must not be too obvious, otherwise it will alert the other party, which will be a bad thing. ”

Tanley thought for a moment: "Then transfer 20,000 first." It happened that the long-pole crossbow arrows of the Shenji crossbow were also running out, and the grain and grass also needed to be supplied. The rest will be drawn in batches. ”

Roña agreed: "Yes, be cautious, it doesn't hurt. ”

Thanley asked, "What about the siege?" Do you still keep fighting? ”

Ronia sighed helplessly: "Our main Turkic force is very tired, and if we continue to fight, the Zijin Pass has not yet been defeated, and we have to collapse first." Let's take a break for three days! Three days later, the offensive resumed. ”

As an experienced veteran, Ronia did not have much problem grasping the rhythm of this attack, however, Li Jiangyao refused to give him three days.

The day after the Prince of the Temple gave the order for a truce and a rest, and was about to return a subordinate army from the western frontier to the imperial capital, the defenders suddenly drove out of the city with great fanfare.

The four main forces, each with their own troops and horses, formed an assault group of 80,000 people, divided into five phalanxes on the left, center, and right of the front, and pressed towards the enemy's camp.

The Turks were quite surprised by this, and hurriedly organized their troops and went out of the camp to meet the battle.

Of course, the subordinate army of the western frontier that was ready to be transferred could not go and went into battle with the Turks.

The Prince of the Temple handed over the command of the front line to Yun Qianxue, with the Fifth Legion of the Golden Clan as the main force, the first part of the Tenth Legion, the first part of the Eleventh Legion and the first part of the Condor Legion, a total of 70,000 troops, plus 60,000 subordinate troops in Western Xinjiang, forming an overwhelming advantage over the Zhenjiang Army that came to provoke.

The Bloody Iron Cavalry and other Turkic troops, as well as 40,000 subordinate troops, stayed behind to guard the camp.

Yun Qianxue sat on the horse, looking at the army of Zhenjiang with swords and guns like a forest and flags like a sea, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

This is the second time he and Li Jiangyao have met.

Last time, the Turks won, but he lost. The ugly scar on his face is the best proof of this.

What kind of person is this? Yun Qianxue thought silently.

His wife, He Sijia, once told him: Make friends, don't make Tanley; Choose the enemy, don't choose Li Jiangyao.

"I have never seen a commander like him," Princess Yingyang said earnestly, "whether in the Turks or anywhere else, I have never seen one. All the soldiers loved him, trusted him, and were willing to die for him, and he never seemed to make a mistake. ”

Yun Qianxue's face showed a sneer, and He Sijia was a little exaggerated.

There are many, many generals who can make soldiers serve their lives, and the Prince of the Temple, the old marshal Helian Xiong, and even Yun Qianxue himself, have similar self-confidence.

And never making a mistake is nonsense.

As long as you are human, you will definitely have weaknesses and make mistakes.

If he hadn't taken He Sijia as a hostage, Li Jiangyao and his Metasequoia City would have been finished long ago, so why don't you make mistakes?

However, from Yun Qianxue's point of view, his wife is right about one thing: Li Jiangyao is a very terrible enemy.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the battlefield at this time, it is completely certain that Li Jiangyao's command level and troop training level far surpass that of most generals of his time.

Military discipline is strict and imposing!

It was hard for Yun Qianxue to imagine what method Li Jiangyao had used to create a strong force that could rival the Turkic elite in just a few years.

The melodious sound of the horn pulled his thoughts back.

Yun Qianxue looked left and right, and the army of this side had been laid out at this time.

In the middle, it is the main force of the Fifth Legion of the Golden Clan; On the right, there are clusters of other legions; On the left, there is the subordinate army of Western Xinjiang.

The three large formations, far away from the soldiers and horses on the opposite side, are not inferior to the opponent in terms of momentum.

On the contrary, because of their absolute superiority in troops, the Turkic side appeared to be more demoralized.

Is Li Jiangyao crazy?

Yun Qianxue said secretly: If you don't keep the good Zijin Pass, you want to run out to provoke, can't he escape the curse of defeat?

If this battle is defeated by me in one fell swoop, let alone Zijin Pass, Li Jiangyao himself may not be able to escape. When the time comes, I don't know what Hesijia will say.

To be honest, Yun Qianxue's idea was not wrong.

The 130,000 Turkic Western Xinjiang Coalition Army, against the 80,000 main force of Zhenjiang, abandoned the fortified city pass and waited for work, and instead fought on the plains, and the victory rate of the Turkic side was indeed much higher than that of the Zhenjiang army.

However, Yun Qianxue is Yun Qianxue after all, and Li Jiangyao is Li Jiangyao after all.

Yun Qianxue would never have guessed that the reason why the Zhenjiang army gave up its strengths and weaknesses was not to die in vain, but to take over the subordinate army of Western Xinjiang as a whole, and completely force the Turks back by the way!

At the critical moment when the two armies were facing each other and a big battle was about to break out, on the southern horizon, the sound of a large army marching was suddenly heard.

The line of troops that could not be seen at a glance gradually appeared in people's field of vision.

The Second Army of Zhenjiang Agni was ordered to arrive!

Immediately afterwards, there was another army - the Cold Wave Eighth Army, which came from the hinterland of Western Xinjiang to reinforce it!

Nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, shouting the earth-shattering battle horn and marching in orderly steps, gradually approached like a mountain, which immediately made the confident Turks panic.

Yun Qianxue's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly ordered all departments to stabilize their positions and not act rashly, especially the subordinate army located on the left side of the large array, that is, due south, to increase their vigilance and prevent surprise attacks.

At the same time, the large Turkic battalions in the rear also reacted, and the horns of the assembled forces sounded vigorously, one after another.

Apparently, the Prince of the Templars sensed this sudden anomaly and began to mobilize new troops to prepare for battle.

It didn't take long for the Second and Eighth Armies of Zhenjiang to reach the core of the battlefield, and almost simultaneously, the Blood Guard Iron Cavalry Corps and the remaining 40,000 subordinate troops drove out of the camp and advanced towards this side.

The troop situation on the battlefield has now become 180,000 troops against the coalition army.

However, this slight advantage, the Turks did not last long.

The long bronze trumpet in the Zhenjiang army formation sounded melodiously, and immediately after, the subordinate armies of the two western frontiers suddenly moved, and without receiving any instructions, they steadily advanced to the opposite side.

Yun Qianxue was shocked when she saw this, and asked what was going on.

The Turkic generals under his command were also dumbfounded, and after being stunned for a long time, someone exclaimed: "They want to surrender to the enemy!" ”

Turning into elbows and armpits, Yun Qianxue was suddenly extremely nervous, but fortunately, he was still calm, and hurriedly ordered a large formation in the middle to guard the flanks, while the archers shot at the subordinate army of Western Xinjiang who broke away from their positions.

Unfortunately, the Turkic reaction was still a beat slower.

By the time they hurriedly changed their formation, and then bent their bows and arrows, the subordinate army had successfully escaped the range of their bows and arrows and entered a safe area.

"Dadu Hu, really don't take the opportunity to attack? Wouldn't it be better to ask the Western Frontier Army to sneak up on the flanks of the Turks from the near side, and then we take advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack? ”

Li Jiangyao looked at the subordinate army that was approaching, and said in a deep voice: "How can it be so easy for you to think!" The combat power of the Western Xinjiang Army is not strong, and a sneak attack on the Turkic elite at close range may be effective for a while, but it will soon be completely suppressed by the other party. And we, storming the Turks on the plains, even if we win, it can only be a crushing victory. ”

Speaking of this, he pulled the reins: "The Turks are finished, there is no need to rush them now!" ”

With that, Li Jiangyao urged his horse to gallop, rushed out of his own large array, and then crossed the subordinate army and came to the Turks.

"Who is the commander in charge of the troops? Come and talk! He spoke Turkic, sent it out with internal force, and the sound spread for miles.

Yun Qianxue cursed in her heart, and then she also spurred her horse and jumped out of the camp.

"Your Excellency, don't come unharmed."

"Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be an acquaintance. Hello Yunjun. ”

Yun Qianxue glanced at the subordinate army that was adjusting the team and integrating into the opponent's big array, and her sword eyebrows tightened: "Your Excellency, what do you want to tell me?" ”

Li Jiangyao smiled faintly: "I want to ask you to withdraw from the army." ”

"Retirement?" Yun Qianxue seemed to have heard a very funny joke: "Why?" Is it because 100,000 soft eggs have taken refuge in you? ”

Li Jiangyao was unmoved by his ridicule: "Yunjun, please be sensible, otherwise we will only have to salivate and fight." ”

Yun Qianxue was slightly stunned, and then said with a straight face: "Okay, if you have any high opinions, I will listen to them." ”

Li Jiangyao nodded, and said in a good time: "In the past, you had many generals and complete equipment, but you still couldn't attack Zijin Pass. After that, don't have that illusion. Retreat as soon as possible, for you and for me. If you still don't leave, I may change my mind at any time and simply not let you go. ”
