Chapter 344: The North Has Mattered, Bai Fan Returns Home
"Everyone has discussed it. After taking down the last nine surnames Tiel, our trip will be complete, and the Eastern Turks will be destroyed by our hands. How should we fight in the last battle?" Li Jing asked loudly.
"Master General, the nine surnames Tiele is a miscellaneous Hu. Although there are many people and powerful people, I think that when fighting, I will definitely not be able to unite. It is not a problem for us to take down the other side." Li Daozong said.
"The Tiel tribe has more than 100,000 people. The people on the grassland are soldiers, and the people dismounted are civilians. If they really all participated in the war, the people who dared to fight should not be less than 200,000. Our troops are too disadvantageous.
It is better to send people to borrow troops from the Uighurs in the north and attack us from both sides of the north and south.
The Uighurs have always had good friends with the Tang Dynasty, and they must be willing to take action," Zhang Gongjin suggested.
Everyone had different opinions on his suggestion, but Li Jing was frowning.
"Gongjin's plan is reasonable, but he cannot do this in this battle.
Have you ever thought that the Uighurs and us were in the past. They were in the northernmost part of the Tang Dynasty, and they were also oppressed by the Eastern Turks. Everyone knows that they have a relationship with each other in the distance and attacks near each other. It is reasonable for him to have a relationship with the Tang Dynasty.
But it will be different in the future. The Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks, took over the territory, and directly bordered the Uighurs. The two countries were unable to guarantee that there would be no war. They might not agree to borrow troops at this time, and we do not need to show weakness to the Uighurs at this time.
Once we borrow troops, it means that our Tang Dynasty was weak in destroying the country, which would inevitably strengthen the Uighurs' ambitions.
Therefore, this time, not only can we not borrow troops from the Uighurs, but we also have to use 100,000 people to fight to destroy Tielle. As long as this battle is successful, it will not only successfully destroy the Turks, but also greatly shock the Uighurs, so that he will not dare to look south at the Tang Dynasty in the future."
"Master, the last general asks for battle!" Qin Shubao, the general of the Left Wu Guard, stood up and said loudly!
"Please fight last time!" Yuchi Gong shouted.
...
Everyone was convinced by Li Jing's words and came out to fight one after another. This is the difference between a general and a general. The general can only think of how to fight and how to win. The general of a country also depends on the strategy and the purpose of the battle. A person without strategic vision, even if he can lead a million troops, he is just an excellent general.
During the Dingxiang War, Jie Li had 200,000 troops but the Tiel tribe did not participate, because Tiel was unwilling to accept Jie Li's rule and wanted to become independent, but now it is different.
The Tang army was approaching, and even the Tuli had not let go of the previous Tuli. It was obvious that they did not intend to let the Tielle clan go. The Tielle clan has always been a mixed place, and the population was chaotic and difficult to unify. Jie Li was just right, and he took the position of the great leader of the Tielle clan in just a few words, giving the Tielle tribe a leader.
"Dear patriarchs, the nine surnames Tiele said that there are nine major surnames. If you think about it carefully, the ones who can sit here today are considered one, and there are more than fifteen surnames.
In the past, we fought for each other to grab territory and sheep, but today the Tang army is approaching, and it is obvious that we are going to destroy our clan. We can no longer kill each other. Only by uniting together can we resist the massacre of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, what we will be left to us will be enslaved and exterminated!" Jie Li said loudly.
"Fight! Fight!"
The leaders of the Tielle were incited by Jie Li and were excited, roaring to fight!
Three days later, the Tiel tribe gathered 180,000 troops and was ready to fight on the southern border. They met the 100,000 troops led by Li Jing as expected.
When the two armies were fighting, the main general came out to answer again. This was the third time Jie Li had come out to talk to Li Jing. His mentality was different every time. When he saw him for the third time, he carefully looked at the white-bearded veteran in front of him, and felt a little sad in his heart. It was such an old man who forced the Turks to the last glimmer of hope.
"Jie Li, surrender, you have no way out!"
"Li Jing, do you want my Great Turkic country to be destroyed? If I have Ben Khan here, don't even think about it!
Today, either you die or I die. As long as I do not die, others will definitely step on the Central Plains and destroy your Han people!”
Both of them returned to their respective military formations angrily. Li Jing commanded his subordinates to prepare for the attack. Jie Li angrily said to everyone around him: "Last time I accidentally fell into the enemy's trick, which led to all our war horses being restrained by their tigers. This time, we cannot repeat the same mistakes. We can plug the war horses into their ears, and we must not let the other party succeed!"
Jie Li's preparation was in vain, because the Tiger Army did not participate in the war at all, and the chief general Yuchi Baolin was still recovering from his injuries. The Tiger Army suffered a significant loss last time, so they all stayed in Dingxiang.
The two armies ordered an attack at the same time. The Turkic side was full of cavalry. The Tang Dynasty was led by the black evil god Yuchi Jingde. Several generals including Qin Shubao, Xue brothers, Hou Junji, Luo Yi and other generals led 50,000 Tang cavalry to form a front-line arrow formation and began to fight against the Turks.
The Tang Dynasty lacked horses, so cavalry has always been a weakness. It is a miraculous strategy to deal with the northern grassland army. It is rare to see cavalry fighting hard. However, this time everyone decided to fight head-on. As long as they succeed in one round of fighting, they could create a myth of the Xuanjia Army's 3,000 or more. So this time Li Jing suppressed all the fierce generals and rushed to the generals.
The two armies collided as violently as flints, and instantly they fought over and over again.
Li Jing, who was still watching the battle with concern, showed a peaceful smile after a stick of incense, and the outcome was decided!
Tielekong had a number of people, but he had no experience in fighting with the army. He did not cooperate with each other. During the battle, he didn't know how to destroy the formation of the front arrow formation. It was not until half of the front arrow was drilled through by the front arrow that someone knew to intersect and encircle.
But the two most powerful generals of the Tang Dynasty - Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong! Along the way, no one could block the two of the enemy generals or the enemy soldiers.
After a stick of incense, chaos in the Tiele army had already emerged. A quarter of an hour later, some of the Tiele army began to escape. The morale of the soldiers was reduced by half, and the ills were damaged by 30% of the soldiers and the entire team was dispersed. The group of pieces of troops had just lost 10% and people began to escape.
When Jie Li saw it, he knew that the situation was hopeless. He raised his eyes unwillingly and looked back at Li Jing with a lot of hatred. He turned around and prepared to escape.
Li Jing had been staring at him for a long time, so he would not allow him to escape. With a swing of his spear, the whole army attacked!
Fifty thousand infantrymen also stepped forward to participate in the war, and at the same time, their disciple Su Dingfang had already arranged to lead 200 elite iron cavalry to capture Jie Li.
Li Jing's army destroyed the Turks, and Su Dingfang captured Jie Li by 200 times, which became a legend that spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.
When the northern war was in fruition, Bai Fan, the commander of Tuyuhun, was sent to fight against Tuyuhun, finally traveled starry night and rushed back to Chang'an from Shuofang in four days.
Bai Fan, who was anxious to go home, did not report the battle situation to Li Er as soon as possible, but went home to see if his child was born. Bai Fan, who had just arrived at the Lantian Marquis Mansion, was already confused by the scene in front of him. Why are there so many people?
