Chapter 797: The Tang Army Defends

The Turks, Jieli Khan, they soon received the news of the destruction of the Liang state, and the news of the annihilation of the entire army of Techuan Xiang.

When the news came, Jieli Khan was even more shocked and angry than before.

Although the strength of the Liang State was inferior to that of the Later Sui, it was destroyed like this, which is too incredible, right?

There is also the Techuan elephant, which was completely wiped out, how is this possible?

There is no army that can wipe out their Turkic army, but this kind of thing happened.

After hearing the news, Jieli Khan was silent for a morning, and it was not until the afternoon that he finally spoke his first words: "Hateful ......"

Immediately afterwards, he sent someone to call the ministers of the court.

At this time, those people in the Turks already knew the news of the demise of the Liang State.

After everyone came to the main hall, they were a little nervous, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Jieli Khan glanced at them and said: "In the past two years, the Tang Dynasty has suddenly risen, which is definitely a disaster for our Turks, they want to take revenge, they want to destroy our Turks, what should we do in this situation?" ”

At this time, Jieli Khan really sensed that danger was coming.

Perhaps, they may be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty at any time, just like the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Later Sui and Liang Kingdoms.

Faced with such a predicament, they are naturally a little worried.

The others looked at each other, and immediately after, someone stood up: "Your Majesty Khan, strike first, and our Majesty can break through the Tang Army." ”

"That's right, destroy the Tang Dynasty."

"Now that Datang is afraid that it is ready to attack, we will get the battlefield to their territory and rush up to kill them."

“…………”

The already wild Turks became even wilder when they encountered the current situation.

Now, only killing can make them forget their deepest fears, and they need a battle to prove that the Tang Army is not as strong as they imagined.

These people said this, and finally looked at Jieli Khan, Jieli Khan nodded, he also felt that they really needed to fight the Tang army.

But how to fight?

"Guys, are we going to kill them directly, or are we going to wait for them to do it?" Jieli Khan asked, although they were both killings, but the results of the two situations were completely different.

If they kill it directly, then they are more active, and they can drag the battlefield to the territory of Datang, but in this case, they have to attack the city, and attacking the city is not what they are good at, the damage is serious, and it is not easy to capture Datang.

Waiting for the Tang army to come over, they have an advantage, after all, on the grassland, their cavalry can be said to be invincible, but they are in a defensive posture, and they will inevitably be more timid.

Jieli Khan looked at everyone, and soon, Wu Yangzi stood up and said: "Your Majesty Khan, with the current situation, our siege of the city is very unfavorable, whether it is Dingxiang City or Liangcheng, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed, we must have at least 100,000 soldiers and horses, only to have absolute certainty of capturing one of the cities, but Lingzhou side, the Tang army may be dispatched at any time, if we draw out 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city here, the defense over there is bound to be weak, which will affect the rear, so the minister's meaning, you might as well wait for the Tang army, Fight them to the death. ”

Wu Yangzi's analysis has a certain amount of truth, and the ministers of the court and the central government discussed it again, and it was finally determined.

---------------------

Time flies, and at the end of autumn, the weather in Lingzhou is already surprisingly cold, making people shiver a little.

Even, many soldiers have already put on the cotton clothes distributed by the imperial court.

And at this time, Su Dingfang and their spies finally arrived in Lingzhou and told Li Jing and Qin Shubao about the situation.

Hearing that Hou Sui and Liang Guo had been destroyed, Li Jing and the others were very excited.

"Okay, Qin Tian and Su Dingfang are still very good, they can destroy Hou Sui and Liang in such a short period of time, which makes our next battle against the Turks to destroy the country more favorable."

Without the intervention of Later Sui and Liang, they could concentrate on dealing with the Turks, which was indeed a particularly beneficial thing for them.

"Marshal Li, my general asked me to ask, what should I do next, whether to launch a direct attack on the Turks?"

Both the Liang State and the Later Sui were gone, and they didn't feel that there was anything else that could stop them.

However, after the spies asked like this, Li Jing hesitated, and after hesitation, he finally shook his head: "No, we won't attack, and we will attack the Turks after the spring of next year." ”

"After the beginning of spring?" Hearing that he would have to wait until after the beginning of spring to make a move, the spy was stunned for a moment, and couldn't understand it at all, now is a good time, why wait?

If we wait until the spring of next year, I'm afraid it will take three or four months, right?

Three or four months was enough for them to destroy the Turks.

It's really not a rational choice to spend it like this.

Li Jing here, nodded: "The weather is getting colder and colder, after winter, the weather in the Turks is even colder, although we have cotton clothes, but relatively speaking, our soldiers can't adapt to such cold weather, to fight, we may not even be able to hold weapons steadily, and if we go, we will be sent to death, so we would rather wait than take risks, we want to destroy the Turks, there is only such an opportunity, missed, I don't know how many years it will take to recover." ”

If this battle fails to destroy the Turks and play a majestic role, then their Datang will fall into a trough all of a sudden, and at that time, it will be too late.

The more the war of annihilation, the more cautious and cautious we must be.

When the spy heard this, he understood it, in fact, he felt that what Li Jing said was right, because he came all the way, and he couldn't stand it against the cold wind, but it was not winter yet, and this extreme north, if it was winter, it might be cold.

Just thinking about it makes people shiver.

The spies retreated after they got off and told Su Dingfang about the situation.

Qin Tian's side naturally got the news quickly.

"What Marshal Li said makes sense, the weather is getting colder and colder now, I'm afraid that after winter, these soldiers of ours will not be able to stand the cold, and the stiffness of their hands and feet is indispensable, on the contrary, the Turkic people have already adapted to it, but they don't feel anything, and it's a good thing to wait."

Li Ji agreed with Li Jing's strategy, Qin Tian also nodded here, he had a way to keep the soldiers' hands and feet from frostbite, but it was just not frostbitten, in the face of cold weather, the soldiers would definitely not be able to stand it, at that time, the weapons were not stable, how could they fight.

The cold is a terrible thing.

Therefore, since there is no way to fight, then wait, wait for the warm weather in the spring, and then fight with the Turks.

Still, they can't do nothing.
