Chapter 171: Counterattack
After hearing this, Jieli looked a lot better on his face, and his decision not to attack on the city wall yesterday also hurt his prestige a little.
"Fart! You old thing is nothing but a whisker! If we don't attack now, when the reinforcements of the Tang Army arrive, the camp will be reinforced, and we will regret it too late at that time! Ashina glared at Kang Sumi angrily and scolded.
Kang Sumi's old face turned red, and he scolded back: "Presumptuous! You little cub is disrespectful, not to mention the Tang army garrison in Mayi City, there is still Li Shiyun on the way to come, these two are famous generals in the Tang army, in case we suddenly appear when we attack the Evil Yang Ridge, it doesn't matter if you die, what if you are a great sweater? ”
The two scolded each other, watching the excitement on the side, it was not a big deal, and they also interjected a few words from time to time, and for a while the room was screaming. In the end, Ashina pulled out the knife, and if someone hadn't stopped him, he was going to start slashing Kang Sumi.
Jieli sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, and a pair of wolf-like eyes stared fiercely at Ashina.
Daring to be so unscrupulous in front of him, drawing his sword against him, obviously did not take him as a great khan in his eyes at all, and his prestige was no longer enough to silence these tribal leaders and follow them loyally.
"Bang" Jieli kicked over the low table in front of him, and the tea, pen and ink on the table were scattered on the ground. It was only a few people who were arguing that they reacted, and the Great Khan became angry. Looking at Jieli, whose face was pale, several people were still unconvinced, and attacked each other with their eyes.
Jieli took a deep breath and said, "Tomorrow send troops to recapture the Evil Yang Ridge!" As soon as Jieli opened his mouth, he said this.
Several people who were arguing just now were stunned, but they immediately understood what Jieli meant, exchanged a look with each other, and said in unison: "Follow the orders of the Great Khan!" ”
Obviously, Jieli chose Ashina's opinion, and first laid down the Evil Yang Ridge to test the strength of the Tang army, and used this action to maintain his prestige in the Eastern Turks. And a few people here are all his henchmen and know his thoughts. At this time, no matter what you think in your heart, no one dares to say a "no" in front of Jieli? All they have to do is execute.
"Good!"
Jieli smiled with satisfaction, and said slowly: "You guys are preparing for war today, tomorrow Ashina you will take 5,000 people out to attack, you will take 4,000 people to prepare, and when you kill Li Jing, we will celebrate together here!" ”
Several people hurriedly got up and said in unison: "I must do my best!" ”
On the second day, the sentry who was nervously paying attention to Dingxiang City suddenly heard a gong in the city gate, the south gate was unexpectedly opened, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the sentry hurriedly sent a message to the camp, "The Turks are going out of the city to counterattack!" ”
In the camp, everyone was in action. Everyone had already prepared for the Turks to go out of the city to counterattack, and there was no panic.
Xue Li raised the horizontal sword in his hand and took the lead towards the north, leading forty scouts to confront the Turkic scouts. Both sides were staring at each other there, Xue Li was dressed in light armor, when the Turks had cavalry to charge, the road surface after the snow was smooth, and the Turkic horses ran unfast, and they were nailed by the Tang army with their horses, which were more stable than their horses. After losing seven or eight people, the Turks refused to move forward, and some even began to look for other places, to make a detour to ambush the Tang army.
Xue Li saw a rumbling sound coming from the other party, and knew that the other party's army was also about to arrive, so he immediately ordered to retreat.
The Turks on the other side saw the Tang army retreating, and they did not dare to move for a while, and a quarter of an hour later, like a torrent rolling by, the elite cavalry of the Turks, under the leadership of Ashnasmo, came to the river.
"What are the movements of the Tang Army?" Ashina called the Turkic scout leader and asked.
"I only found that the scouts of the Tang army confronted us for a while, and we lost a few brothers, these Tang people were very cunning, and when they saw that the army was coming, many people took them and ran away."
"Does the Tang army want to defend the camp?" Ashina Simo wondered, he knew Li Jing's reputation, this Evil Yang Ridge had no danger to defend, it was a hill, and it was mainly because of Dingxiang City that it had strategic value. He shook his head, waved his hand, and shouted: "Turkic warriors, in front of you is the Evil Yang Ridge, the Tang people have shamelessly attacked our herdsmen, and their stored grain, cattle and sheep have been robbed by the Tang army, now we go and take things back, these grains will become our food for the winter, let the Tang army tremble under our iron hooves." ”
"Vidal, you lead these five thousand men and use my most elite Turkic warriors to recapture the camp, if you fight well in this battle, I will propose to the Great Khan to promote you!"
Vidal laughed and shouted: "Venerable Immortal Heaven, our brave Turks, admire the warriors who kill the enemy, you just look at our ability!" ”
Five thousand horsemen galloped toward the camp with their hooves flying. Seeing that the Turks were coming, Li Jing shouted: "Get on the horse, shoot!" ”
The Tang army shot the Turks with their bows and arrows, and I don't know what Jieli's expression will be when they know about this situation. At this time, they are at the top of the mountain, condescending.
Three thousand people shot arrows with bows at the same time, Li Dongsheng only heard a "buzz" in his ears, the bow and arrow shot out like in the movie hero, some of the Turks running in front fell from their horses, and some of the war horses also fell to the ground, after shooting, the second arrow was raised, and with a command, the second round of arrow rain shot out again.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the Turks had already rushed to the front of the Evil Yang Ridge, the Tang army put the bows and arrows on their waists, and Li Jing shouted: "Go!" The herald loudly passed Li Jing's order, and the three thousand cavalry rushed out in the opposite direction like lightning.
Vidal saw that the Tang Army turned around and ran, and wondered in his heart, what is the situation here? However, his cavalry all ran up, and he couldn't stop, so he could only rush up to the Evil Sun Ridge. The camp on the ridge was empty, Vidal looked at it, there was no danger, and saw that Li Jing's cavalry was still stopping at the bottom of the mountain, and with a wave of his hand, he rushed down the mountain with the cavalry to chase and kill the Tang army.
Li Dongsheng's mouth was dry, and his heart was about to jump out of his mouth, he knew that this was a sign of adrenaline rising, but he couldn't blame him, the last time he charged was at night, and he couldn't feel the power of the cavalry charge at all. Today, he watched thousands of Turks rushing down from the top of the mountain shouting "Hehehehe", and the shocking impact stirred his heart.
Wang San looked at the excited Li Dongsheng and said, "Li joins the army, don't be scared." ”
Li Dongsheng couldn't wait to sew his mouth up with a needle.
Seeing the Turks charging down to the top of the mountain, getting closer and closer, they also took out their bows and arrows, and Li Jing shouted again: "Points." ”
