The army of the Tuyuhun Khanate approached, and on the plain landform east of Lukou Mountain, the foreign military flag was trained into a long dragon, looming in the hazy yellow sand.

Twenty miles away, looking at the past, at the end of the grassland, on that piece of yellow sand, the breath of war has been transmitted to the hearts of every soldier of the Tang Army.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Jing wanted to rearrange his tactics.

Because of the previous Gu worm incident, there is no guarantee that the previous tactical plan has not been exposed.

The arrival of the enemy army was a little too fast, beyond Li Jing's estimate.

For this battle, Li Jing was very relaxed and didn't pay much attention to it at all.

Because the Tuyuhun Khanate originally belonged to only one branch of the Turks, and it was a very small branch.

The Tuyuhun Khanate had limited national strength and limited troops.

In the Great War six years ago, the Tuyuhun Khanate did not send a single soldier, and when it saw the defeat of Jieli Khan's troops, it immediately surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

For such a war-fearing country, Li Jing has no reason to pay attention to it.

But as one bizarre thing happened one after another, Li Jing realized that today's Tuyuhun Khanate seemed to be different from what he imagined.

First of all, the Tuyuhun Khanate had the help of the Great Witch of Miaojiang, and their soldiers greatly improved their combat effectiveness through Gu worms.

And this time, the other party took the initiative to attack, menacing, and seemed to have the determination to win, such a firm fighting spirit made Li Jing feel urgent.

Could it be that there was something else to rely on in the army of the Tuyuhun Khanate?

Bai Song said: "There must be a demon when things go wrong, and we should avoid head-to-head confrontation before we don't know the details of the other party." In this first battle, it is best to adopt the tactics of feint attack, with cavalry as the mainstay, disrupt and provoke in the front, lure the enemy into fighting in small units, and test the combat effectiveness of the opposing soldiers first. Our army does not have to be overwhelming, and after the confrontation, it should retreat in time to avoid losses as much as possible. ”

On the sand table, Bai Song pointed out an open grassland outside Lukou Mountain, which is the place where it meets the desert: "The battle here is convenient for our army to observe the enemy's combat strength, and it is easier for our soldiers to evacuate. ”

This is the first time that a military division has made a formal statement on tactics.

The soldiers frowned slightly when they heard this: "Strategist, we have waited for so long, and finally waited for the enemy to come." You don't want us to fight as hard as we can, but you want us to retreat? Isn't this a loss of morale of our army in vain? ”

"That is, Tuyuhun's straw bales are not to be feared at all, and there are many of us. If we can't beat the first battle, won't the Turkic tribes who came from behind laugh at us? ”

The former Eastern Turkic forces have been assembled and are heading for reinforcements at Lukou Mountain.

Li Jing was also worried, the two armies were fighting, and the first confrontation was very important, and if the first battle was lost, it would affect every subsequent battle.

He could understand Bai Song's thoughts, but the deliberate defeat and loss were too great, how effective was the information obtained?

"Strategist, the first battle was defeated, can there be a means of recovery in the future?" Li Jing asked.

"I'm not going to send troops, but I know what the key is to win."

"The key to success? What is it? Cheng Yanjin asked.

Everyone looked at Bai Song's confident appearance, and secretly wondered if this military advisor would have any exquisite layout?

"As I said, I have prepared a lot of things for this battle, do you remember the battle in Chengdu?"

"Chengdu World War ......"

The generals looked at each other, they were all Li Jing's subordinates, and they had all experienced the Yizhou rebellion.

Bai Song said that in the first battle of Chengdu, the first thing that everyone thought of was the séance punishment that day.

The Shenwu cannon is a top secret, and Li Miao first told Li Jing that the generals in the army only saw the scene like heavenly punishment, but they didn't really see the appearance of the Shenwu cannon.

In the entire army, only Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin are insiders.

They even hid it from the emperor.

Cheng Yanjin remembered Bai Song's kindness for saving more than 70 members of his family, and knew that once the matter was exposed, the emperor would definitely use all means to force Bai Song to hand over the production method.

If Bai Song doesn't pay it, he will definitely worry about his life.

Therefore, concealing the truth was brought up by Cheng Yanjin.

Li Jing acquiesced, because of Shu Wang, no matter how much he couldn't get used to Bai Song, he didn't want Bai Song's accident to make his granddaughter sad.

Therefore, Bai Song mentioned at this moment that the generals did not know what to do, but Cheng Yanjin and Li Jing showed a look of surprise.

These two old men were waiting, waiting for Bai Song to take the initiative to hand over the Shenwu cannon.

Since Bai Song said that he had made a lot of preparations, it means that the Shenwu cannon must be a part of his preparations.

With the Shenwu Cannon, no matter what demons and monsters he is, he will be wiped out in the face of heavenly punishment.

Superfluous, Bai Song didn't need to say it anymore, Li Jing understood Bai Song's intentions.

What the army has to do now is not to fight hard, but to delay time, test whether the enemy has a potential means of attack, and avoid all accidents.

As long as the Shenwu artillery rushes to the battlefield, the enemy army will inevitably be defeated.

Li Jing gave Bai Song an affirmative look, and immediately ordered: "Obey the orders of the military division, send 5,000 cavalry to provoke in front of the enemy army, mainly to test the local military strength, do not fight, and the rest of the troops will be deployed in their respective directions according to the established plan." ”

After saying that, the meeting was dismissed, and the generals were a little skeptical, but the military order had been issued, and no one could change it.

In the afternoon, the first battle was encountered.

Bai Song failed to witness the magnificent scene of the confrontation between the two armies.

He watched from afar from the watchtower on Lukou Mountain, holding a telescope.

At first, thousands of soldiers from the two armies could be seen colliding together, but the next second they were covered by yellow sand and dust, and nothing could be seen.

Five thousand men tried to fight, and four thousand four hundred returned, and six hundred corpses were buried in the sand.

Bai Song felt a lot of pressure, because with his words, a decision, six hundred, or even more lives disappeared in an instant.

It's an ordeal like I've never experienced before.

I didn't see the bloodshed of the battlefield, but I already felt the cruelty of war.

At this moment, Bai Song knew that he was not a general, and he would never be able to fulfill his ambition to level the world.

At least by means of war, leveling the world is not a path for him to take.

After that, in the daily discussion of the military account, Bai Song rarely spoke or put forward opinions.

He had only one goal, which was to stall for time and try to avoid large-scale battles.

As for how to delay time and how to avoid large-scale battles, that was the question that Li Jing and his generals thought about.

After several encounters, the strength of Tuyuhun Khan's army gradually surfaced.

The Tuyuhun Khanate had sufficient grain and grass support, which was obviously not the accumulation of the Tuyuhun Khanate itself.

The Tuyuhun Khanate suddenly had a tough change, and there must be forces behind it.

But this is not complete, several encounters did not encounter the super combat power mentioned in the previous intelligence, and there are more things to hide.
