Chapter 195: Mountains and rivers shake to raise the prestige of our country
The book continues from the previous book, which said that Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng repelled the first attack of the Turks in a disastrous victory, and then Chu Mofeng set up a large number of triphorses on the battlefield outside the city overnight to prepare for a large-scale charge of the Turkic cavalry.
In order to prevent the Turks from increasing their troops, Li Shimin sent Li Shiyun out of the city overnight to borrow troops from the surrounding provinces.
Immediately after the Turks attacked again on the second day, Chu Mofeng led the main force under his command to meet the Turkic army in the front, while Li Shimin led 3,000 iron cavalry to raid the Turkic camp from the flank, burned countless grains and grass, and killed Qu Niren who remained in the camp.
On the frontal battlefield, Chu Mofeng took advantage of the stumbling horse to thwart the Turkic offensive first, and then led a large army to fight the Turkic army.
After winning a big battle, everyone was overjoyed, and at this time, Li Shiyun, who went to ask for help, brought back a bad news, and there were no reinforcements to deploy in the surrounding provinces this time, and Chu Mofeng's words suddenly sent everyone's mood to the bottom.
Just when everyone was worried, the Turks really increased their troops as Chu Mofeng said, looking at the dense crowd in the Turkic camp opposite, Chu Mofeng suddenly fell into contemplation.
In the Turkic camp, Hachil, who had not recovered from his injuries, was kneeling on the ground naked at this time, just like his previous men, and in front of him stood a burly Turkic man, holding a dark whip in his hand, and was whipping Hachil from the ground.
As the scars on Hachil's back became more and more, the man seemed to be tired, threw the whip on the ground, looked at Hachil coldly, and said: "Hachil, you waste, the death of the Quniren brothers has made the great Khan very angry, and you have lost nearly four Leopard Divisions, before leaving, the Khan asked me to tell you that if you can't attack the opposite city tomorrow, you don't have to go back to the Turks." ”
I saw Hachile endure the severe pain on his back, and said slowly: "Lord Jedo, please believe in Hachil's determination, the immortal heaven is above, Hachile will definitely charge forward tomorrow and successfully take the opposite city." ”
This Turkic man who was called Jieduo by Hachile, his full name is Ashina Jieduo, a Turkic royal family, is the commander of the fourth division of the leopard division under the account of Jieli Khan, this time he led the fourth division and the remaining two leopard divisions to reinforce Hachil, I never thought that the leopard division that was dispatched before was ruined by Hachile, and there was not much left, given that the population base of the Turks was not as large as that of the Central Plains, basically one less dead, which led to the previous scene.
I saw that Jetdo nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning the army will attack, I will enter the opposite city at noon, Hachile, can you do it?"
Looking at Jado's face, Hachile couldn't help but shudder, and then said with a firm face: "Immortal Heaven is above, Hachile will definitely be able to complete the task." ”
At this time, in the Tang City on the opposite side, Chu Mofeng stood on the city wall, looked at the Turkic camp opposite, and scolded angrily: "This stumbling horse rope is also used, you can't let me take someone to dig a pit overnight, right?
I saw Cheng Yanjin said angrily on the side: "It is said that horses are afraid of fire and are afraid of being frightened, I knew that Lao Cheng and I found someone to prepare some explosive rods to bring, and after ignition, if you can't kill those Turks, you can also scare them to death." ”
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention of listening, and after listening to Cheng Yanjin's words, Chu Mofeng suddenly crossed a lightning bolt in his mind, and then stood up and walked in front of Cheng Yanjin and said: "General Cheng, you have helped a lot this time, if we repel the Turks this time, I will definitely ask you for credit." Then he turned and ran down the city wall, and walked towards the storehouse in the city.
When he came to the warehouse, Chu Mofeng found the twenty small wooden boxes that were placed aside, and his face suddenly showed a smug expression.
It was Ye Chu Mofeng who sneaked out of the city with a small team of people, buried the twenty wooden boxes evenly on the battlefield, and then made some arrangements, and then quickly returned to the city to find Li Shimin and collected a large amount of pine resin.
Then Chu Mofeng asked Li Shimin to summon all the generals in the city to the meeting hall, looking at the Tang generals sitting around a table in front of him, Chu Mofeng said earnestly: "Everyone, this time the Turks have increased their troops again, and the provinces and provinces are unable to send reinforcements here, which is undoubtedly worse for us. ”
Hearing Chu Mofeng's words, everyone present showed a worried face, and at this time, Chu Mofeng suddenly said sharply: "But we shouldn't expect others, since we received the order to garrison and merge the state, then we must insist on holding it." ”
After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Qin Qiong stood up and said, "Grandpa Guo, how do you say this battle will be fought, we will all listen to you." As soon as Qin Qiong's words fell, the generals present spoke out one after another to express their agreement.
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng smiled and waved his hand and said: "Since you trust me, then I will start to arrange the task, once the task is assigned, you must follow the instructions, whether it is advancing or retreating, you must obey the order." ”
Then Chu Mofeng pointed to the battlefield map and said: "Early tomorrow morning, the two generals Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin will lead their troops to stand by in the city, and quickly attack the Turkic camp with the sound of arrows; The two generals Duan Zhixuan led their troops to infiltrate the right flank of the Turkic army, and after the middle road made contact with the Turkic army, the camera chiseled through the opponent's large array from the flank; ”
After listening to Chu Mofeng's arrangement, all the generals stood up and said yes in unison, while Li Shimin looked at Chu Mofeng with a puzzled expression and said, "Why do you want Mingming Jin to withdraw his troops?"
I saw Chu Mofeng smile strangely and said, "Because I'm going to give a big gift to the Turks, you can see it tomorrow." ”
At the beginning of the second day, the Turkic army once again lined up in a neat line to prepare for an attack, and the Tang soldiers in the city had already been prepared, looking at the slowly moving Turkic army, Li Shimin jumped on the head of the city and pulled out his lance and pointed to the front and said: "Tang Erlang, fight to the death and not retreat!"
With Li Shimin's roar with all his might, the Tang Dynasty's infantry cavalry also slowly walked out of the city and rushed in the direction of the Turkic army.
Chu Mofeng, who took the lead, led his troops to charge, while observing the location of the buried objects yesterday, and saw that none of the positions were exposed, so he immediately pulled down the covering surface and shouted to the Tiance army behind him: "Soldiers, let the Turks on the opposite side feel the anger from the Tang Dynasty again." ”
Today's Chu Mofeng did not carry his own weapon, but hung a horizontal knife on the right side of his waist, a barrier knife on the left side, and a bright silver spear in his hand, like Changshan Zhao Zilong and killed the opposite side.
Hachile, who personally led the charge of the team, was immediately shocked when he saw Chu Mofeng rushing towards him, but at this time, Ashina Jieduo was watching the battle from behind, Hachile had no choice but to raise the big knife in his hand and slash towards Chu Mofeng's face.
In view of the Turkic increase in troops, Chu Mofeng was extremely unhappy in his heart, and seeing Hachile rushing forward, Chu Mofeng raised the spear in his hand, and shouted sharply with a twist of his wrist: "Your subordinates will get out of the way." ”
Seeing this, the spear was like a dragon, mixed with the slightest sound of wind and thunder stabbing towards Hachile's throat, Hachile hurriedly repeated his old trick and put the big knife on his chest, in a vain attempt to block Chu Mofeng's attack.
Who knew that Chu Mofeng's blow faintly came out with hatred, and the tip of the spear actually penetrated Hachile's knife face, and instantly stabbed into his throat, Chu Mofeng saw that the blow was successful, his right hand retreated hard, and the spear was withdrawn, and at this time, Hachile covered his throat and slowly planted his horse.
Ashina Jieduo, who was watching the battle in the rear, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this, although the Turks lacked iron weapons, but he also knew that Hachile's big knife was snatched from a blacksmith shop when he went south to plunder, this knife was claimed to be indestructible, and strong and durable, he never thought that it would be pierced by the other general's gun today.
Seeing that there was no front-line commander on his side, Ashina Jieduo had no choice but to turn over and rush forward with his personal guards.
After killing Hachile, Chu Mofeng shouted to the Tiance army behind him: "Follow me to break through the enemy formation." Immediately, he rushed forward with his legs between the belly of the horse, and the Tiance Army and the Tang Dynasty soldiers behind him saw Chu Mofeng kill the opponent's general with one blow, and their morale suddenly increased greatly, and they rushed forward under the leadership of Chu Mofeng.
At this time, the Turkic soldiers in front of the battle saw that the Lord was about to be killed, and they were immediately frightened, and some timid people had already prepared to turn around and flee, but who knew that a few chirping arrows suddenly flew from the rear, and shot the people who wanted to escape in an instant.
I only heard Ashina Jieduo shouting from behind: "How can my Turkic men flee from the battlefield, and the sons follow me forward to kill the enemy." As soon as they saw Ashina Jiedo coming up, the Turkic soldiers suddenly became more confident, clenched the weapons in their hands and rushed forward.
Just when the Turkic soldiers were charging forward under the leadership of Ashina Jieduo, Wei Chi Jingde and Duan Zhixuan, who had been ambushed on the right flank, saw this, drew out their weapons and led the soldiers under their command to quickly rush to the Turkic array.
I saw Chu Mofeng separating Ashina Jieduo's spear with one shot, and then led the Tiance army under his command without looking back to tear apart the enemy formation, while on the other side, Captain Chi Jingde waved the Zhangba spear in his hand, and led the soldiers under his command to also rush into the enemy formation.
I saw Wei Chi Jingde shouting loudly at Chu Mofeng: "Marshal, there are people everywhere, and the infantry behind is advancing too slowly, and our cavalry alone can't hold them back." ”
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded, raised his gun and stabbed to death a Turkic soldier who was preparing to sneak attack, and then shouted to the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, disrupt the Turkic formation." ”
When everyone heard this, they quickly followed Chu Mofeng to rush around to kill, and at this time, Chu Mofeng glanced at the location where the things were buried, and seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Chu Mofeng immediately threw out a dart, and Li Shimin in the city hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops when he saw this.
When a group of Tang soldiers heard the Ming Jin of the troops, they quickly ran towards the city with Chu Mofeng, and Ashina Jieduo couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and then shouted to the Turkic soldiers around him: "Sons, do you see? The soldiers of the Tang Kingdom could not resist the iron hooves of our Turks, and ran away in disgrace, and you sons and daughters pursued with me." ”
Chu Mofeng, who was in charge of the break, turned his head and glanced at it, and said with a sneer: "A group of brainless guys, hurry up and catch up, the young master can't help it." ”
Along the way, Ashina Jieduo only cared about the pursuit, and did not find that along the way, the Tang soldiers had already dropped a lot of pine resin contained in the jars, and the retreating Tang soldiers suddenly turned around and stood quietly in place when they were about to arrive in front of the city, waiting for the Turkic soldiers who came to pursue.
Seeing this, Ashina Jieduo quickly urged the war horse to rush up, and in an instant, the two armies collided together again, at this time, Chu Mofeng and Wei Chi Jingde, as the arrows of the arrow array, were handed over by the Turkic army for the first time, and in the face of the oncoming Ashina Jieduo, Chu Mofeng rode up with a spear first.
First, he swung Ashina Jieduo's spear head-on, and then the tip of the spear was backwards, and he used the handle of the gun to press a little harder at Ashina Jieduo's chest, which suddenly made Ashina Jieduo, who was caught off guard, surge in blood and blood.
Holding back the desire to vomit blood, Ashina Jieduo clenched the handle of the gun with both hands and stabbed at Chu Mofeng again, only to see that Chu Mofeng was short and avoided the blow, and then the spear in his hand turned around his waist and drew it towards Ashina Jieduo's waist from the left side.
As everyone knows, Ashina Jieduo is also a person who can be considered to be good at fighting in the Turks, seeing the spear coming, the whole person hurriedly leaned back, and the spear brushed the tip of his nose with the wind, which suddenly frightened Ashina Jieduo into a cold sweat.
Seeing that the blow missed, Chu Mofeng turned around and shouted back, "Let go of the arrow." Immediately, a soldier of the Heavenly Bow Battalion in the Tiance Army quickly drew a ringing arrow and shot it into the sky.
The poignant sound of the arrow pierced through the sky in an instant, and when he heard the sound of Datang releasing the arrow, Ashina Jieduo was faintly vigilant in his heart, and looked around and found that there was nothing abnormal, and then he stabbed Chu Mofeng again with his spear.
At this time, the city gate slowly opened, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin quickly rushed out of the city with their cavalry, and on the way, they did not love to fight when they encountered Turkic soldiers, and rushed towards the left flank of the battlefield.
With the rapid attack of Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, they came to the Turkic camp in an instant, and there were only a few hundred people in the Turkic camp at this time who were responsible for guarding, and in the face of the menacing five thousand Tang cavalry, there was a bloody storm in the camp in an instant.
Under the rush, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin quickly ordered people to set fire everywhere, and the somewhat wilted Cheng Yanjin also threw a few cans of pine resin he stole on the fire, and for a time the Turkic camp was on fire, and the smoke caused by the burning could be seen several miles away.
Seeing that the fire was ignited, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin quickly led people to evacuate this place, and Ashina Jieduo, who was still fighting in front at this time, had already been told the situation of the camp by the people around him, who knew that the spear stabbed by Chu Mofeng was faster than the other, and the other was more tricky than the other.
In the face of Chu Mofeng's fierce offensive, Ashina Jieduo seemed to be unable to resist, and when he was distracted, he was stabbed by Chu Mofeng with a shot and fell off the horse, Chu Mofeng saw this and put the spear in his hand towards the ground, and then the whole person stepped on the stirrup, and fell to Ashina Jieduo's side, holding his chest with his left hand, and as soon as the knife came out with his right hand, he saw a cold light flashing, and Ashina Jieduo's throat instantly spurted out a three-foot-high column of blood.
Blood splashed Chu Mofeng's face, and immediately dyed Chu Mofeng like nine demons, looking at the shocking blood stains on Chu Mofeng's face, the Turkic soldiers present dropped their weapons and ran behind them.
Who knew that the Tang soldiers did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but just stood in place and looked coldly at the fleeing Turkic soldiers, only to see Chu Mofeng turn over and stand on the back of a horse with a harrier, take out a dart and shake it at the sky, and shouted loudly: "Those who offend my Central Plains will be punished even if they are far away." ”
The archers on the city walls, who had already been prepared, lit the arrows in their hands and fired them in unison towards the city, most of the arrows went to the fleeing Turkic soldiers, and some of the arrows were fired towards the designated positions.
As the fiery arrows landed, only a series of sounds of shaking mountains were heard, and the Turkic soldiers who were still fleeing suddenly disappeared, replaced by a rain of blood in the sky, and the entire Luoyin county town also trembled a few times.
Looking at the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood behind them, the Turkic soldiers who were not affected were congratulated on their fate, and on the other hand, they ran forward, as the Turkic soldiers were defeated, the Turkic army that had besieged the state for several days suddenly collapsed, and the fleeing soldiers returned to Jieli Khan and quickly reported the matter.
After learning of this, Jieli Khan was shocked, coinciding with the Bingxu (25th) Turkic army turned to attack Suizhou unsuccessfully, Jieli Khan thought for a long time, had no choice but to send an envoy to Chang'an on the day of Dinghai (26th), in order to be able to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, after getting Li Yuan's consent, Jieli Khan immediately left a small force, and led the army back to the Turks.
A few days later, news came from the fast horses of the imperial court, saying that Jieli Khan had withdrawn from the army, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng breathed a sigh of relief, and in the following days, Li Shimin reorganized the soldiers and horses on the one hand, and cleaned up the battlefield on the other hand.
In view of the fact that it was already August at this time, in order to prevent the corpses outside the city from decomposing and deteriorating and causing epidemics, Li Shimin ordered that in addition to transporting the remains of the Tang soldiers back to Valhalla, the corpses of the remaining Turkic soldiers and the corpses of the war horses were disarmed and buried on the spot.
As the ordnance on the battlefield was transported into the city one by one, Chu Mofeng, who was standing at the head of the city, said to Li Shimin with a smile: "A conquest has ruined all lives, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely cross the mountains and kill the so-called royal court of the Turks to destroy them." ”
"Yes, definitely. Li Shimin, who was on the side, nodded and said slowly: "One day we will return to them double the pain they brought us at this time, if my generation is not finished, I will urge my children and grandchildren to continue to do it." ”
After listening to Li Shimin's words, Chu Mofeng didn't know whether he said intentionally or unintentionally: "The premise is that you have the final say in this world." ”
Listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Shimin remembered that the current crown prince was still his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, and couldn't help sighing, who knew that Chu Mofeng said lightly when he saw this: "If something hinders your progress, you might as well remove it, if it's too stubborn, you might as well destroy it completely." ”
With the retreat of Jieli Khan, the war in the territory of Tongzhou Road and Prefecture gradually unveiled its mysterious veil, after the news was transmitted back to Chang'an, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, and Li Yuan, who was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did not expect that these two boys did such an earth-shattering thing quietly in Bingzhou.
Subsequently, the imperial court quickly sent troops to garrison and annex the state, and ordered Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng to lead their troops back to the court.
On the fifth day of the eighth year of Wude, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng's army stationed in Bingzhou arrived in Chang'an City, looking at the slowly approaching army and the carriage carrying the body, the people of Chang'an City were happy, and they all stood on both sides of the road and cried bitterly.
Seeing this, Li Yuan, who personally led the civil and military officials out of the city to greet them, was also a little sad in his heart, walked up to the two and did not speak, but just reached out and patted the shoulders of the two, and then led the civil and military officials to Valhalla to bury the remains of the fallen soldiers.
Then the two returned to Chang'an City, first disbanded their respective teams, and then Chu Mofeng returned to his mansion, and Li Shimin followed Li Yuan's imperial chariot back to the Chengqian Palace.
Back in the mansion, Chu Mofeng just walked into the door when he saw Shi Hanshuang and the others coming over with a concerned face, slowly removing the armor on their bodies, and Chu Mofeng went to the bathing room without saying a word.
Leaning on the huge wooden barrel, the water at the right temperature instantly relieved the exhaustion of his body, Chu Mofeng had no intention of bathing at this time, but slowly closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, I only heard a 'squeak', and the door seemed to be pushed open, and then a figure flashed in, tiptoeing behind Chu Mofeng, Chu Mofeng only felt a chill on his shoulder, and then a sense of comfort surged all over his body.
I only heard the man behind me whisper: "Before, my sisters said that you always go out to fight, what else do I feel, but this time I know from personal experience, you are fighting outside, I am very worried at home, you haven't sent a letter back for so long, I have also guarded in Niangziguan, I know that once the war is urgent, even the time to eat and sleep is squeezed out." ”
"Because I started with martial arts, I'm very glad that the imperial court was able to transfer you back from Niangziguan. Chu Mofeng opened his eyes, looked up at Dou Jingyan behind him and said: "The world has never been unified, and the Turks are still eyeing the land of the Central Plains, so I can only follow the King of Qin to fight everywhere. ”
Dou Jingyan nodded when she heard this and said: "I can understand this, so you must pay attention to safety when you are fighting outside, and don't forget that we are still worried about you at home." ”
Listening to Dou Jingyan's words, Chu Mofeng suddenly turned around, pulled Dou Jingyan into the bucket, and said with a smile: "Since you said that you miss me, then let's see how much the lady misses me?"
Seeing this, Dou Jingyan's cheeks turned red first, and then she shouted: "You bad guy, let go, my sisters are still waiting for me in the flower hall, people are sneaking here, if you make it bad for a while, you will inevitably be laughed at by your sisters." ”
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly let go of Dou Jingyan's hand, and then whispered in her ear: "It seems that I still owe you a round room, or I will go to your room tonight and pay it back to you." ”
Seeing Dou Jingyan's face, I didn't know whether it was shy or smoked by steam, at this moment, like a red cloth, she lowered her head and ran towards the door, looking at Dou Jingyan's embarrassed appearance, Chu Mofeng couldn't help laughing......
As the saying goes, Xiao Beisheng is newlywed, and look at Li Jiancheng's poison plan again, and then see Li Shimin in prison, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
