Chapter 217: Turkic people, Su Dingfang's stepping stone to fame

"Damn! Escaped by Goguryeo again! Yang Guang smashed his fist on the wall of light, looking very unwilling, Goguryeo is now almost Yang Guang's demon.

[After Su Dingfang came back, he followed the chief manager Cheng Yanjin to attack the Western Regions and conquer the Western Turks, and Su Dingfang was the former army commander this time.

Shortly after the initial victory, the two armies fought a decisive battle at the Eagle River.

The two armies fought fiercely, and the governor Su Haizheng fought fiercely and failed to decide the winner. The Western Turkic branch of the Western Turks, Ratish and others, led more than 20,000 cavalry to reinforce, and the number of Turkic cavalry increased dramatically, and the situation of the Tang army was quite critical.

Su Dingfang's department was dismounting and resting, separated by a small hill, about ten miles away from the chief manager.

He saw the dust rising in the distance, so he led 500 elite cavalry, over the mountains and galloped straight to the enemy's camp, the thieves were defeated and fled, the Tang army chased for 20 miles, killing more than 1,500 people, and the armor and weapons, cattle and horses discarded by the Western Turkic army were scattered on the hillside and field, which could not be counted. 】

[However, Wang Wendu, the deputy chief manager, was jealous of Su Dingfang's merits, and said to the chief manager Cheng Zhijie: "Although the enemy army has fled, there are many casualties among the officers and soldiers.

Now we should form a phalanx, place our baggage in the middle of the military formation, line up on all sides, men and horses in armor, and meet the enemy when he comes. Don't let your soldiers leave the line lightly and cause damage. ”

For this reason, Wang Wendu also pretended to have another edict, saying that Cheng Zhijie was brave enough to underestimate the enemy and let Wang Wendu command the troops for him.

After Wang Wendong took command, he immediately assembled a large army and ordered that he should not penetrate deep into the Western Turkic hinterland. 】

[The Tang army rode horses every day and formed a formation in armor, so most of the war horses were emaciated, the soldiers were tired, and their morale was declining, and they no longer had the will to fight.

Su Dingfang was anxious when he saw this, so he said to Cheng Zhijie: "The Son of Heaven issued an edict to conquer the enemy, but now he is only defending, how can he make meritorious contributions?" Besides, you are a general, but you can't make your own decisions when leading troops to fight outside, you have to look at the eyes of the deputy general to decide, and it stands to reason that you can't do this! Why not imprison Wang Wendu and wait for the court to be released? ”

Cheng Zhijie did not listen because he was too cautious.

The army arrived at Hengdu City, and the Hu people surrendered. Wang Wendu also said: "These Hu people surrender now, and when our army withdraws, they will still rebel, so it is better to kill them all and seize their assets." ”

Su Dingfang said: "If you deal with it like this, then you are a thief, how can it be said that you are a crusade against rebellion?"

Wang Wendu didn't listen.

When it came time to divide the property, Su Dingfang was the only one who didn't take it at all. 】

Cheng Yanjin was numb at the moment, he really didn't expect that he would become so conservative when he got old, and he would be turned around by a deputy general.

"Shame on you!" After sighing, Cheng Yanjin covered his hot face with his hand.

And Wang Wendu's face turned pale at the moment, this kind of deception, jealousy, greed for money and killing was exposed, can he still have a future?

[In December of the first year of Xianqing (656 AD), the Tang army finally returned in vain, Wang Wendu was sentenced to death because of the edict, and was later removed from the people, and Cheng Zhijie was also removed from his post because he was unable to move forward and chased the thief. 】

Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin's face turned even redder, while Wang Wendu's face turned even paler.

[In the spring of the second year of Xianqing (657 AD), Tang Gaozong Li Zhi appointed Su Dingfang as the general manager of the Yili Dao march, conquered the Western Turks again, and appointed Yaxiang, Hui Porun (i.e., Yao Luo Ge Po Run) and others as deputy generals, and sent Bu Zhen and Mi She, who had been attached to the Tang Dynasty, as ambassadors to pacify the quicksand, and recruited old people from Nandao.

Su Dingfang sent troops from the north of Jinshan, broke the Mukun Department of the Western Turks, and led more than 10,000 soldiers to surrender.

Su Dingfang appeased him, and sent 1,000 cavalry from them to march together to the Zaoyu River, which is now the Irtysh River region in northern Xinjiang.

When the Western Turkic Shabala Khan Ashina Helu heard the news, he immediately led an army of 100,000 to meet the battle.

Su Dingfang led more than 10,000 Han troops and Hui soldiers to fight against the Western Turks here! 】

"! 10,000 cavalry against 100,000 cavalry? The disadvantage is huge! ”

"I guess Su Dingfang will definitely win, otherwise how can he be called the God of War of the Tang Dynasty?"

"What about Li Jinglong? He is also known as the God of War, did he win? Did he win?!! ”

"It's too much! Can Li Jinglong be compared to Su Dingfang? ”

"You guys are taking bamboo shoots!"

“.”

[There were only 10,000 people on Su Dingfang's side, and the Shabaluo Khan Ashina Helu despised Su Dingfang and the army he led because of this.

Ashina Helu divided the army atmosphere into three parts, the Chinese army was confronted and pinned down, and the left and right flanks were sideways, preparing to encircle the army led by Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang let the infantry occupy the commanding heights, and concentrated the spears facing outward.

He himself personally led the powerful cavalry to meet the challenge on the flat ground to the north. 】

[The Western Turkic Army launched three charges against the infantry positions, but was unable to penetrate.

Su Dingfang took advantage of the enemy's chaos to attack!

On the 30-mile-long front, the Tang army and the Sha Bo Luo army launched a fierce battle, and finally the Tang army killed tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Sha Bo Luo, and killed 200 people including its big chieftain Da Gan, and the Sha Bo Luo people were defeated and fled! 】

"I'm Nima! Straight head just won??? ”

"100,000 cavalry can't do 10,000 mixed troops? Dogs can't be so good at commanding! ”

"It's only ten to one, the army of the Song Dynasty, 2,000 people were defeated by 17 people!"

"Is it a waste of fame? But seriously, you don't always take out the big cowardice as a typical example, don't you want to lose face in Song Huizong? ”

[After defeating Sha Boluo's army on the first day, Su Dingfang reorganized his army the next day and continued to march.

Hu Luwu and the other five crossbows were lost and the crowd came to surrender, and Ashina Helu fled westward with hundreds of horsemen alone with Chu Mu Kun Qu Lu.

When the remaining five land divisions heard that the Shabala Khan had been defeated, they also rushed to the south and surrendered to Buzhen.

Su Dingfang ordered the deputy generals Xiao Siye and Hui Porun to lead the captives to rush to the Evil Ross River to chase the defeated soldiers, while he and Ren Yaxiang led the newly attached people to intercept the back of the thief army.

When it was snowing heavily, the snow was "two feet flat", and the general asked for a break.

Su Dingfang said: "The enemy is relying on the heavy snow, thinking that our army cannot advance and will rest and regroup.

But we are going in the opposite direction, and now we are marching to take advantage of our unpreparedness, and we will surely be able to catch up; If the sluggish indulgence allows them to flee away, it is really impossible to capture them!" 】

[The Art of War: Surprise, Attack Unprepared!] Obviously, Su Dingfang is a famous general who is well versed in the art of war! 】

[Su Dingfang led the troops to walk through the snow, day and night, and arrived at Shuanghe, where he met with Mi Shot and Buzhen.

The morale of the Tang army was full and high, and when it was a hundred miles away from the Helu garrison, it ordered to set up a position to advance, and the army began to approach Jinya Mountain.

At this time, Ashina Helu was preparing to hunt, not realizing that the real hunter was already lying in ambush around him.

Su Dingfang took advantage of his unpreparedness and led the army to assault! In one fell swoop, he defeated tens of thousands of horses under the command of Ashina Helu! 】

"It's really awesome!"

"This is the capital of a famous general!"

"Su Dingfang is a disciple of Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty! This art of war is not a piece of cake for him?! ”
