Chapter 230 Game

"Er Khan, what should we do now?" Lieutenant Zuo also showed a hint of resentment on his face. This Jieli likes to play the trick of borrowing a knife to kill people. This trick is obviously to use other people's hands to deal with himself and others. But it is

They have to deal with it seriously. After all, behind the army is Jieli's army of hundreds of thousands. With just one charge, or at a critical moment, he and others can be killed. And the army on the front line of Yunzhong is closest to the Tuli tribe.

, At this moment, the entire Tuli army was dispatched, and most of the tribesmen were old and weak. The tiger and wolf divisions stationed on the front line of the cloud were not easy to mess with. The other side killed the Han people, just like chopping melons and vegetables, and killing their own people.

It is also like chopping vegetables and melons, clean and neat.

"What else can we do! Then just attack and make the noise louder." Tu Li opened his eyes, a hint of murderous intent emerged, and said with a cold snort.

"Yes! Let those bastards see my Turks at the end of tomorrow

The army is so powerful." Zuo Danghu said with a smile.

"Idiot, Erhan said that the momentum should be bigger, but that's just momentum. Jieli obviously wants to consume our strength and then annex us. If we attack Shengzhou, not only will we not be able to complete the Great Khan's plan, but also

It is possible that we might leave all our belongings behind Shengzhou City. We are just showing off."

"Yes, the general will let the Great Khan see the majesty of our army tomorrow." Captain Zuo laughed loudly. Tu Li also nodded. These people are his confidants, and they are not afraid of being bribed by Jie Li.

Naturally, he felt relieved when these people were doing things.

The next day, when the sky was just getting bright, I heard a shrill scream coming from the city of Shengzhou. I saw the Turkic army all over the mountains and plains, with their bows and arrows drawn, and they attacked together, as if they were going to attack Shengzhou today.

"Tuli has begun to attack." Fan Xing stood on the top of the city, with a trace of solemnity on his face. Although he had been in Shengzhou not long ago, this was the first time he encountered a Turkic attack, and he felt very sad.

It's uneasy.

"Don't worry, they are feigning an attack, or even putting on a show for others to see." Zhao Gongcun said calmly: "I heard that Tuli and Jieli are at odds. Jieli has traveled across the grassland in recent years, constantly attacking other tribes, and the Tuli tribe

We are also oppressed by them, how can this Tuli work hard for Xieli? This situation is probably just to confuse Xieli. We just need to be careful to defend ourselves and make a show of it. If nothing else happens, I am afraid that the general will

The rescue army arrived. Jieli became anxious now, so he forced Tuli to raise troops to attack Shengzhou. On the one hand, General Yin* marched quickly, and on the other hand, it also consumed the power of Tuli's army. Killing two birds with one stone.

Tu Li is also a man of understanding. He can ensure that his tribe will not be annexed by Jie Li under Jie Li's repeated attacks. He knows the secret of this kind of thing, so he will not

The attack is so ruthless, just ask the men to defend carefully." Zhao Gongcun could see the reason at a glance.

Fan Xing thought for a while and then nodded and said: "If we can survive this battle, I will write to Your Majesty to set up farmland on the border and continue to build forts, so that our border line will continue to move north.

Continuously encroaching on grassland territory.”

"This is a very expensive project! It takes at least ten years, and the money spent is even more. I'm afraid your Majesty won't consider it." Zhao Gongcun shook his head and said.

"Here we come! Raise the shield!" At this time, he heard a whistling sound, and a shower of arrows shot out of the air and flew down towards the city wall. Fan Xing could no longer care about talking. He quickly commanded Shengzhou's troops.

The soldiers raised their shields to block the falling ones from the air. Although the opponent might be making a show, no matter what, bows and arrows do not have eyes, and they will still kill people when they should. If things go wrong, even Fan Xing might be killed.

It is possible for this bow and arrow without eyes to kill you...

"Bang bang!" They heard the sound of gold and iron, and their vibrating ears made a roaring sound. The faces of Fan Xing and others turned pale.

"The Turks' cavalry and archery are really extraordinary." Fan Xing said, looking at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who fell in a pool of blood. These people were shot to death on the spot by sharp arrows. Some of them were because they were not well protected, but some of them were holding

Although there are wooden shields, some sharp arrows can still penetrate the wooden shield and enter the human body, causing massive bleeding and death.

"If the opponent keeps attacking with bows and arrows like this, I'm afraid our army won't be able to hold out for much longer." Zhao Gongcun's face also turned pale. Although he is a wise man, in the face of absolute strength, sometimes even a wise man has no power.

method.

"Yes, if this continues, even if Tuli is just trying to show off, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for a long time." Fan Xing showed a trace of worry on his face and said, "The opponent's strength is so strong. I don't know what the general's plan can do.

It cannot be realized. If it cannot be realized, then our army may suffer heavy losses."

"The general is known as the military god of the Tang Dynasty. Since he can raise an army of 500,000, he must be absolutely sure. Brother Fan, we just need to be loyal to our duties. The worst is, we will be captured by a sudden and powerful army. Together we

It's just a stabbing. It's no big deal."

"You can't say that. You and I are loyal to the emperor because we eat the emperor's salary. Your Majesty is far away in Chang'an. Even if there are Jin Yiwei passing the news, sometimes we may not necessarily understand the situation in Shengzhou. On the battlefield, the situation changes.

Wanduan, how can I make a decision in my writing?" Fan Xing shook his head and said: "Brother Zhao, tell me, if the general knew about the fall of Shengzhou, would he still have the idea of ​​a decisive battle with the Turks?"

"You and I are not generals, how can we know what the general is thinking?" Zhao Gongcun said with a smile: "You and I can only do our best to defend Shengzhou."

"Attack!" Captain Zuo's roar came from below the city. The Turkic soldiers also carried simple siege ladders and began to attack the city. Fan Xing and others on the city wall also resisted desperately. Both sides began to attack the city.

They started fighting, and the situation was extremely fierce.

Thirty miles outside Shuozhou City, it is already close to the Great Wall, and is only separated from Shengzhou by a river. On the map, it looks like an isosceles triangle with Yunzhong and Shengzhou. Li Jing's center

The military tent was also set up here.

"Report! General, Tuli's army is attacking Shengzhou, and the city of Shengzhou is in danger."

"Report to the general, the Tuli army is all over the mountains and plains, and is attacking Shengzhou at the four gates."

…………

An urgent message was quickly delivered to Li Jing's Chinese army tent. In the tent, all the generals gathered, each looking at the model of Shengzhou placed in the middle of the tent, thinking carefully about how this battle would go.

It's a fight.

"Maogong! It seems that the other side wants our army to cross the river quickly. I'm afraid Jieli can't wait any longer. He must let our army get into his pocket." Li Jing said with a smile: "I'm afraid they still have to wait.

I don’t know, but the intentions of Jieli’s army have long been grasped by our army.”

"Yes, it depends on the general's deployment." Xu Shiji also nodded. Now among the fifty armies, there are twenty-five marching generals, including almost all the senior generals of the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty

There is a clear gap between the military strength of the Turks and the Turks, but if they lose the battle, I am afraid it will not be easy to explain to the court.

"Maogong, I'll give you 50,000 cavalry to go to Yunzhong. What do you think?" Li Jing looked at Xu Shiji and asked.

"Now that the commander-in-chief has made a decision, it's time for the general to take his orders." Xu Shiji nodded and said: "However, general, it is you who the general is worried about! The army of 500,000 is held in the hands of the general, and the enemy on the opposite side is

I'm afraid he is also very cunning. Once there is a stalemate with our army, those in the court may become restless. The pressure on the general is very great!"….

"Of course I know this." Li Jing nodded and said: "Isn't it because of this reason that I have not been deeply involved in court affairs in these years? The prince has gradually grown up, and the battles in the court have become fierce, but His Majesty has not

The method is that although His Majesty is wise and powerful, he is only one person in the end, and the new policies he implements must rely on those ministers. It is an inevitable fact that ministers form cliques in private. Look, at the imperial court now, Cui Renshi, represented by Shangshu Pushe,

The prince's party is represented by Feng Deyi, Chen Shuda represents the Shu king's party, Sikong Chang Sun Wuji represents the Yue King Lu Chenglie's party, and the princes of the clan represent the Jing King Lu Chengsi's party. These are

It’s very difficult for us to be caught in it!”

"I heard that Shangshu Pushe Cen Wenwen was also secretly supporting the King of Shu?" Xu Shiji said cautiously.

"I don't know about this." Li Jing glanced at Xu Shiji and said calmly: "His Majesty once warned us that soldiers only need to march and fight. However, His Majesty's example was to tell the princes that without an army,

No matter how talented you are, it is impossible for you to get hold of the throne. Maogong, you have worked hard these years."

"As long as the general doesn't speak, who dares to speak?" Xu Shiji said softly: "Actually, His Majesty is also a sensible person. Look, isn't the position of the crown prince now secure?".

"That's because the time has not come yet. Look! Maybe the battle started from this point." Li Jing sighed and said: "Have you seen Shengzhou City on the opposite side? Hey, sometimes, I am very conflicted in my heart."

Xu Shiji was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood what Li Jing was thinking. Although the army of 500,000 was quite large in number, it was impossible to put the army of 500,000 into the battlefield together. More importantly, the Tang Dynasty lacked cavalry.

It is a very difficult matter for infantry to fight against cavalry. Even if they win, it will only be a miserable victory. The Turks cannot bear it, and their own side cannot bear it. If Shengzhou City is attacked at this time, everything will happen.

It's all easy to solve. With this buffer, it is enough for Datang to accumulate more strength. But this matter is not impossible to be so simple.

"General, I heard that your Majesty personally trained an elite army?" Xu Shiji said cautiously.

"That's right." Li Jing did not deceive Xu Shiji and said calmly: "The number of elite soldiers is only 5,000. They are in the hands of His Highness Prince Liang. They are very powerful and are an excellent weapon against cavalry. However, His Majesty obviously does not want to do so at this time.

The decisive battle with the Turks, so this army is still in Chang'an and has not been brought over." Xu Shiji nodded, but he was extremely curious in his heart, what kind of army is it, and it is kept secret to this extent. If he were not in charge of the General Staff, he would not be able to bring it here on weekdays.

When he was dealing with things here, he always felt that a huge amount of money was flowing and he didn't know where it went, which aroused his suspicion. Otherwise, I'm afraid even he wouldn't understand that there was such a powerful and powerful force among them.

A mysterious army is being formed.

"General, I think we should send an army into Shengzhou at this time. This will not only strengthen the defense of Shengzhou, but more importantly, strengthen the defensive confidence of the soldiers in Shengzhou. So since Jieli wants to make a plan

Our army must not be prepared for this small force. He is also preparing the main force of our army to fall into the enemy's siege! So the general thinks that it is quite feasible to send such a team." At this time, Qin Yong's

The sound disrupted the conversation between the two.

"Send an army into Shengzhou?" Li Jing and Xu Shiji looked at each other with a hint of surprise on their faces. This is not impossible, but this idea is very risky. This can be regarded as going deep alone.

Once the opponent launches an attack on this lone army, I am afraid that this lone army will only be destroyed. But then again, it is difficult for birds to cross Shengzhou City now, there is no information from inside and outside, and the Shengzhou defenders are sparse, even if the opponent feigns an attack

If so, I'm afraid it won't last long. It's necessary to send out such a team. More importantly, being able to ambush a new force in the city can enable both sides to fight at critical moments during the war.

A group of elite soldiers rush out from behind the opponent to defeat the opponent.

"What you say is not unreasonable. It's just that leading the army into Shengzhou City is extremely dangerous. If not, there is a risk of the entire army being annihilated. Qin Lang, have you thought about it?" Xu Shiji asked in surprise.

"The general is willing to take on this important task." Qin Yong said without thinking.

"The last general is also willing to go." Another person under the tent said. Li Jing looked over and saw Dugu Yanyun. It turned out to be the general under Li Shimin. Dugu Xiude was in exile. Today, the Dugu family relies on Dugu Jin and Dugu Yan.

Yun Zai supported him. His elder brother Dugujin served as governor in Hedong.

"If General Dugu wants to go, it's not impossible." Li Jing thought for a while and then said: "If you two go, I will give you 10,000 elite troops. If the other party sends troops to stop it, then retreat. If not,

If they are blocked, go into the city and fight with Fan Xing, and General Qin Yong will take over the defense of Shengzhou. At that time, you can go out of the city to attack the enemy at the critical moment."

"The last general takes orders." Qin Yong and He Duguyanyun responded quickly. They were both young people. Otherwise, they would not have accepted this quite dangerous job.
