Chapter 199: The Battle of the Wei River
"Lu Zhaoci. Come out and answer." Lingli Khan had a gloomy look on his face. He had never thought that Lu Zhaoci had actually tricked Lu Zhaoci. If he had known that there were only so many people in Chang'an City, he might not have waited for Tuli and Qi.
Xin He was strong, and he could capture Chang'an with the cavalry of the Ashina tribe in his hands. So at this time, facing Lu Zhaoci, Lingli Khan found that he could no longer control the anger in his heart.
"Look, Fanli is getting angry." On the contrary, Lu Zhaoci still looked relaxed and proud. After all, he had tricked others and saved the city of Chang'an. Since the troops of Yuchi Jingde and Xu Shiji arrived, it has been easier to attack and defend.
There is no reason for Lu Zhaoci to be unhappy. It can be said that this is the most dangerous time for Lu Zhaoci since he came to the throne, or even since he was reborn, but now he is still allowed to escape.
"Fanli Khan, what, aren't you and I still negotiating? Why don't you want to talk now? Are you trying to break your promise again?" Lu Zhaoci said loudly across the Wei River.
"Lu Zhaoci, don't use sweet words. Are you stalling for time, thinking that the Khan doesn't know? Today, I will ask you, will you surrender or not?
Surrender, this Khan can even make you a sub-Khan and a minister. If you don't surrender, do you think the young men of Chang'an City behind you can withstand my 200,000 cavalry?" Lingli Khan said coldly.
He said with a hum.
"Zhali, you have the nerve to stand here and talk nonsense in front of the alliance. You had an alliance with Changsun Wuji, the minister under the alliance, and the alliance helped you obtain the throne of Khan. The Turks and the Tang Dynasty will never invade. Not only do you
They invaded the Tang Dynasty and even killed more than 10,000 of the elite soldiers of the Alliance. You still want the Alliance to surrender. Let me tell you, the Alliance would rather be broken into pieces than destroyed." Lu Zhaoci looked stern, pointed the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand at the leader and shouted.
: "You and I have an irreconcilable hatred. If the Union catches you, you will be cut into thousands of pieces to commemorate the souls of the more than ten thousand soldiers of the Union."
"Haha, just you, and those Chang'an Qingzhuangs who are pretending to be soldiers? They are just looking for death." Lingli Khan laughed angrily and coldly snorted: "In that case, I will see you on the battlefield!
"
"The couplet is waiting for you!" Lu Zhaoci raised the Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand, and saw the three fierce generals Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, and Luo Shixin leading 20,000 cavalry slowly standing behind Lu Zhaoci.
"Great Khan, look at that pair of cavalry, I'm afraid they are Lu Zhaoci's last package. If these pair of cavalry are defeated, Lu Zhaoci will definitely be defeated." Shi Luodian looked excited at the side.
"Hmph, there are only tens of thousands of cavalry. The general regards him as a piece of cake. The Great Khan asked me to lead people to get Lu Zhaoci's head and make it into a chamber pot." General Yarjin glared fiercely.
He glanced at Shi Luodian and snorted coldly: "This Lu Zhaoci is really brave. He actually wants to use this little thing to resist our Turks. It's simply a delusion."
"Yarjin, lead 30,000 cavalry and capture Lu Zhaoci for me." Lingli Khan said without thinking.
"Yes! Haha! You bastards, follow me and charge! Capture Lu Zhaoci alive." Yaerjin's face was overjoyed when he heard this, his gray beard was trembling, he dropped the riding crop in his hand and held a sharp scimitar in his hand.
, and rushed towards the south bank of the Wei River. The charge of this group of Turks was all about momentum. What's more, these people were used to robbing at the border and regarded the Central Plains as pigs and sheep. They killed casually without caring about the people on the other side.
Not the pigs and sheep as imagined, but the elite Tigers of the Tang Dynasty.
"You are simply seeking death!" Lu Zhaoci looked cold and said to Xu Shiji beside him: "Wei Gong, you take charge!"
"I obey the order." Xu Shiji did not refuse. He took the flag in his hand and shouted: "Archers, prepare!" Hearing the words, the cavalry who were originally guarding Lu Zhaoci split into two sides to make way for one.
When the main road came out, more than ten thousand archers were revealed, with their bows and arrows drawn, pointing diagonally at the Turkic cavalry.
"No, archers!" General Yarjin saw clearly. When he saw so many archers on the opposite side, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly adjusted his horse speed and fell into the chaos.
"Let go!" Xu Shiji waited until the opponent's war horses had rushed into the Wei River. Although the Wei River was not deep at this time, it made the horses move much slower. The horses lost their speed and became targets. Most of these cavalrymen
It was a light cavalry, and its body protection was sparse. In an instant, it became the target of the archer's attack. There was only a loud "bang" sound, and a dark cloud appeared in the sky.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Screams rang out among the Turkic cavalry, and more than ten thousand flying arrows hit the Wei River. The Turkic cavalry who were hit by arrows were countless, and they fell into the Wei River one after another. In an instant, the water of the Wei River was dyed red.
, it is no longer the turbid color it was before. "There are few of them, so they rush over, rush over, pick up Lu Zhaoci alive, reward him with a thousand gold coins, and make ten imperial concubines of the Tang Dynasty." In the chaos of the army, General Yaerjin shouted loudly
Roaring. When those Turkic soldiers heard this, all fear in their hearts disappeared without a trace. They whipped their sitting horses and charged across the Wei River again. "What a pity." Lu Zhaoci said lightly.
I don’t know what he regretted. Is it a human? Or a horse?
"Fire the arrow!" At this moment, Xu Shiji waved the flag in his hand, and saw a dark cloud appear in the sky again, covering the Wei River again. He saw numerous casualties on the other side, but because of General Yaljin's encouragement,
Behind these people, there were still many people rushing up. Unfortunately, they had to face the cavalry of Yuchi Jingde and others. Who were the opponents of these people? In less than a moment, they were picked off by the opponent.
After falling off their horses, they started to make fertilizers by the Wei River.
"Khan! I'm afraid we won't be able to break through Lu Zhaoci's frontal defense in a short period of time. Great Khan, you see, even if our army breaks through the arrow formation, it will still be faced by that team of black cavalry. After crossing the Wei River, our army will
If you have fewer enemies and more enemies, you will not have an advantage. How can you be the opponent's opponent?" Bo Tie saw clearly from behind the formation and hurriedly suggested: "Since the opponent's soldiers are few, Khan can contain Lu Zhaoci here and lead the army.
The main force stepped out to cross the river, and after the large force crossed the Wei River, they took advantage of the cavalry to defeat Lu Zhaoci from the rear flank in one fell swoop, thus establishing victory."
"Forget it! Shi Luo Die led 30,000 troops, found a suitable place to cross the river from the upper reaches, and defeated Zhuo Zhaoci from the flank." Lingli Khan's face was cold. He didn't know why, but he didn't have much confidence in today's war.
, I just don’t know where this feeling comes from.
"Your Majesty, we have divided our troops. It seems that they want to cross the river from the upper reaches of our army, and the left wing that attacks our army is our rear wing." Xu Shiji looked upstream cautiously.
"Don't worry, King Liang is there, and he still has 30,000 elite soldiers, which is enough for him to defeat Shi Luo Die. Haha, speaking of it, this is the second time he has faced Shi Luo Die. If Shi Luo Die knew how to fight against him,
Who is it? I don’t know what he will think." Lu Zhaoci suddenly said with a smile.
"If he were the last general, he would definitely have fled." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
"Command the generals to raise the flag! At this time, it is time for Lingli to see the majesty of our army." Lu Zhaoci said to the generals behind him.
"General, I obey." The generals all had happy smiles on their faces when they heard the words. They waved back and saw their soldiers raising the flags of the generals one after another. They saw Xu, Yuchi, Qin, and Cheng.
, Luo and dozens of other flags, almost all generals with banners in the Tang army raised their own flags.
"What's going on?" Lili Khan looked at the dozens of flags that suddenly appeared on the battlefield opposite and said nervously.
"Great Khan, when General Shi Luodie was crossing the river upstream, he was attacked by Tang Dynasty General Lu Zhaoying. He suffered heavy losses." At this time, a soldier staggered over.
"Lu Zhaoying, how many troops does he have?" Lingli Khan whipped his whip and asked in surprise.
"There are about 30,000 people." The soldiers did not dare to lie and said quickly.
"It's broken, Khan, we have fallen into a trap." Bo Tie pointed at the Tang army on the opposite side and said: "Lu Zhaoci also had the same idea as the Khan. He was delaying time so that his reinforcements could come.
Now that his reinforcements have arrived, their strength is probably about the same as mine, so he deliberately lured us into being deceived so that he can fight with him. As long as he defeats us first, he is not afraid of the arrival of Tuli and Qixin Heli. Look, that Wei
The bridge was also demolished on purpose. On the one hand, it can make us think that Lu Zhaoci is cowardly. On the other hand, he is using the Wei River to continuously consume our army. This damn Lu Zhaoci is so cunning."
Lingli Khan also understood the reason at this time, and his face turned livid. When Bo Tie said this, he immediately cleared his mind. When he was at the Wei River for the first time, Lu Zhaoci did have only the army in his hands.
There were tens of thousands of people, so it was just a bluff at that time, but after a few days of delay, Lu Zhaoci's reinforcements were enough. He used such a move again, but it was not a bluff, but a trick. Deliberately tempting himself
Thinking that the opponent does not have much strength. In fact, it is just to consume your own strength and catch yourself by surprise.
"Attack me!" Jali Khan raised the whip in his hand and shouted loudly: "I don't agree with you, Lu Zhaoci is really ready for a decisive battle with me.
I don’t believe that my 200,000 cavalry can’t destroy the little sheep on the opposite side.”
"Great Khan, you cannot attack at this time. If you want to attack, you have to wait until Qixin Heli and Tuli's army arrive before attacking again. At this time, attacking is a waste of the cavalry of our Ashina tribe!
How to deter Tu Li and Qixin Heli in the future?" Bo Tie quickly stopped him.
"Are we going to withdraw our troops at this time?" Lingli Khan threw the riding crop in his hand to the ground and said fiercely.
"I'm afraid that's all!" Bo Tie said nervously.
