Chapter 859 First Battle (Five)

Although the battlefield was considered not suitable for cavalry, the two Khans, Tuli Khan and Asina Sheer, did not expect such a change in the situation.

Although I knew that I would not lose, the two Khans also felt that they were too frustrated. The King of Handan on the opposite side used various means to make the battlefield slide towards the unfavorable direction of the Turks.

The reason is also very simple. The left and right armies of the Tang army either seized the key road or moved hundreds of steps north to block the Turkic space. The situation seems to be fine now, but if Li Daoxuan and Dou Zhi move further to the east and west sides, this will once again suppress the Turkic space.

Neither left nor left could break the Tang army's chariot formation, nor could it go around behind the formation, so the Turkic cavalry could only face the enemy head-on, and this was their biggest disadvantage. The Turkic advantages could not be fully utilized, whether to intersperse or detour or divide the formation.

Li Daoxuan and Dou Zhi were like two iron walls that gradually closed, making the Turks have to choose the middle lane. This is the battlefield that can best exert the power of armored cavalry.

Tuli Khan's eyes flashed, "Retreat now?"

"No, if you retreat now, everything will be useless." Asina Sher decisively rejected.

Tuli Khan breathed out, "Would you let the men attack the central army?"

Asina Sheer didn't say anything, because within sight, the remnants of the defeated generals were retreating.

Not to mention the rest, just today's war, Hu Yan had to admit that King Handan's plan was appropriate, and sent the Right Army to seize the initiative first. The front army swept the west side to the left, and showed its courage with the central army facing the main force of the Turkic forces directly.

"Jun Hao is also worried about Your Highness." Qian Jiulong rushed over and persuaded him.

Tuli Khan suddenly jumped onto the horse's back and looked into the distance. He saw the Tang army in the Central Military Office cheering and cheering. His voice spread from afar, which caused the left and right armies to respond with sharp weapons to knock on the shield.

"Your Highness is generous." Guo Pu bit the steamed bun and smiled bitterly: "On the day the soldiers of the government always eat two meals a day, but even when they attacked Luoyang, they didn't have three meals a day."

"Your Highness." Wang Junhao took off his helmet and said aggrievedly: "I am afraid of the Turks..."

"If you pull it down, you will be punished with twenty military sticks. I will discuss your crime after the war!"

Of course, Li Keshi also knew the reason why Li Shan made such arrangements. Yesterday, he ordered not to set up camps. Most of the soldiers could only sleep in the wild. There were quite complaints in the army, but they could eat three meals a day and everyone could fill their stomachs and maintain a stable morale.

"The war begins today. Your Wang Junhao protects the left army to move north and prevents the Turks from breaking through the formation. He has made great contributions and will be rewarded after the war." Li Shan said with a cold face: "But if you don't respect the military order, your crime will not be forgiven."

Qian Jiulong smacked his lips and stopped saying a word. He was in the middle of command, and he didn't know the mystery... The two thousand cavalry who formed a group were just a test, and were forced to fight in close combat by dense crossbows. While withdrawing troops, Wang Junhao, who was originally on the west side, suddenly turned east and cut off the Turkic soldiers into two pieces, making a lot of gains.

While gnawing on the steamed cakes, Li thought to himself, is Huairen really going to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop?

"I was really told by Zhang Sanlang." Guo Pu suddenly smiled and said, "The King of Handan is not that easy to fool!"

Hu Yan couldn't help but remain silent. The most important and critical front-line army, the main generals and soldiers of the cavalry came from the King of Handan. On the one hand, this is his control over the entire army, and on the other hand, it also proves his importance to war.

At this moment, Li Shan had a cold face, grabbed Wang Junhao's neck hard and cursed: "The military order is not respected on the battlefield, who will give you the courage!"

It is noon now. Although the Turks have not retreated yet, they have not started a war. Instead, they are confronting each other from afar. The soldiers of the Tang army took out steamed buns from their arms amid the shouts of the generals and steamed cakes.

"It is not advisable to cut your head during war."

After repelling the Turkic cavalry, Li Keshi and Wang Junhao both found that the Turkic cavalry that attacked the central army were retreating north. Both of them were thinking about it. This was a good opportunity to grab the head.

The government soldiers were mainly rural peasants, and three meals a day were too luxurious. Li Keshi remembered that Sanlang Li Kai mentioned in his letter that Huairen formed the Daizhou Army and provided three meals a day. Although it was just a small means, he also won the morale of the army.

Zhu Wei, who was standing beside him, said coldly: "In the battle formation, if you don't respect military orders, it's not too much to kill your head!"

Master Li looked over and looked at him. Several soldiers carried Wang Junhao over and couldn't help laughing, "It should have been because of the military stick. I deserved to be beaten up, but I actually wanted to trick someone!"

Wang Junhao kept saying that he was afraid that the central army would be unstable and wanted to lead the cavalry to support him. However, after thinking about it, Li Keshi thought about it, but he still didn't go. After returning to the army, Zhang Zhongjian didn't say much, but just sneered and said that he would punish him like this.

Sweat dripping from Wang Junhao's forehead and he knelt on his knees, "Your Highness, I'm sure you're wrong."

What's more, Wang Junhao was greedy for merit and was immediately blamed for being beaten, but his cavalry was praised by the King of Handan.

If the association rate bypasses the central army through the gap, it is reasonable for Wang Junhao to lead the cavalry to support him, but he has withdrawn his troops, and Wang Junhao beats the dog in the water... It's just a robbery.

"What are you calling yourself orphan?"

Although it was a bit risky, Hu Yan knew very well that this battle might not be able to win, but he would never be defeated. The Turks no longer had the chance to exert their full strength, nor could they break through the defense line.

Li Shan sneered: "I stayed by your side for a long time, it seems that you can't wait!"

"Now it's after the autumn harvest, and there is no food or grass." Mr. Li stroked his beard and smiled. In his sight, many soldiers took a few bites and put them away... they couldn't bear to eat more.

Li Shan was so angry that his feet were itchy, and he really wanted to kick them over, "Changxing County Gong is in the middle command, and the soldiers use their lives. Can two thousand cavalry break through the central army formation?"

"Not only Zhang Sanlang, Brother Junhao." Qu Silang had a bun in his mouth. He swallowed it hard and was almost choked. He picked up the water bag and fucked it and said, "It's the same with Duke Zhao, and he and Hou Hongtao, who are there."

However, this method cannot always be useful. On the one hand, it is because the demand for food and grass is too high. On the other hand, it is cold and sleeping in the wild for more than a month. It is really hard to hold on.

"Mr...."

"Are you applying medicine?" Li Keshi patted Wang Junhao's head, "It's better to teach him a lesson. He used to be the personal guard of His Highness, so he naturally put His Highness first. Now he is the General of the Central Army, and he should obey the orders of the General."

Wang Junhao only grinned and smiled bitterly, allowing Mr. Guo to take off his clothes and apply medicine.

Hu Yan, who was in the distance, suddenly asked: "It is said that the left lieutenant general and the Central Army General were both His Highness's personal guards?"

"Can't bite!" The societies cursed angrily: "Just a wave of crossbow arrows alone can make more than a hundred-arrang fall off his horse. I don't know how many crossbowmen Li Huairen brought!"

"It's almost done." Zhang Zhongjian strode, "After a quarter of an hour, he will go east and prepare to defeat the enemy."

Hu Yan immediately said: "I want to be a pioneer!"

Obviously, this sentence was directed at the sentence Zhang Zhongjian had previously accused him of not daring to fight. Qu Silang chuckled: "Your Highness is expected, so please be more aggressive than general."

Hu Yan also smiled a few times when he saw Zhang Zhongjian, and couldn't help but be surprised. The feelings were playing tricks on me.
