Chapter 569 - Winning is Bloody
Chapter 569 won a very bloody surname
The Tang army had already set up a formation, especially Zhang Liang's more than 10,000 men and horses, which were directly at the forefront. The combat mode of the left and right guards is very different from that of the left and right guards, and every time they encounter the Turks, the left guards will be led by high shield soldiers and supplemented by pikemen. But what about the left and right guards, there is a row of shield soldiers in front of them, and crossbowmen in the back, such a formation, the lethality is there, but it always does not play a role in blocking the enemy.
Hou Junji watched the Turkic dynamics closely, and the expression on his face was full of solemnity.
Cheng Chumo has also fought a lot of big and small vicious battles, but he has never seen such a fight with the Turks, and there are no pikemen and Pu Dao soldiers in front, isn't this by the Turkic cavalry, this time once the bow and crossbow are broken, the Turkic cavalry can successfully cut a hole. As a small miscellaneous general, Cheng Chumo is not qualified to take charge of Hou Junji, but this does not affect his scratching.
"Counselor Li, you see, if this battle continues like this, it will be a typical injury to the enemy for 1,000 and self-loss for 800!"
Look at Cheng Chumo, Li Yifu didn't express his opinion, what if he couldn't get used to the deployment of the marshal, could he still open his mouth to say it? As a member of Zuo Wuwei, Li Yifu inherited the glorious tradition of Zuo Wuwei. All along, Zuo Wuwei has not been interested in two people, one is Wei Chigong, and the other is Hou Junji. If you want to talk about the battle charge, is this Wei Chi Gong comparable to his own old Qin general, let alone his own major general; As for Hou Junji, Zuo Wuwei has always felt that this Hou Shangshu is too hypocritical, and when it comes to strategizing, he is obviously not as good as Li Jing and Li Ji, and he looks like Lao Tzu is the best in the world.
If Li Yifu is the general manager, the first thing to blame is Hou Junji, this army has no advantage, and Li Dashuai has no news, so he dares to pull people out for a decisive battle, isn't this the style of a ruffian hooligan. Maybe it's a bit too much, but Li Yifu feels that Hou Junji at this time is a ruffian hooligan, and he will beat him when he sees the enemy, and he doesn't think about how much he is injured.
"General Cheng, is there really a problem with the arrangement of this marshal?" Chai Lingwu is a good and diligent boy, just listening to Li Yifu and Cheng Chumo try Hou Junji, but Chai Lingwu really didn't see what the problem was.
Lu Zihao held the Tang knife and pouted, "Brother Lingwu, can't you see this, our handsome family is going to see who is more resistant to beating!" ”
Cheng Chumo almost laughed out loud, it's really amazing, Lu Zihao's words are too close, if you punch me and I punch, won't you be more resistant to beating than anyone?
"You two are quiet, tell you, after a while, you two will be honest and follow your brother for a while, something is going to happen to the two of you, and Brother Jun is not in a hurry to go to the room!"
Chai Lingwu and Lu Zihao glanced at each other unconvinced, this soldier is just for men, this is still behind other people's butts, how can it be mixed up. The two of them made up their minds, and after a while, they rushed upward, everyone was single, machete to machete, who was afraid of whom?
Li Yifu didn't pay attention to Cheng Chumo's affairs, because he found that there was a sneaky person next to him, take a closer look, isn't this Liu Renliang, the dog-headed military master of Long Huwei, why did he come here?
"Brother Liu, what's going on?" As soon as Li Yifu saw Liu Renliang, he felt that something was wrong, there should be no change!
didn't let Li Yifu doubt for long, Liu Renliang whispered a few words in his ear, and after listening to Liu Renliang's words, Li Yifu nodded without moving, and he whispered, "Brother Liu, I'll leave it to you here, Li will go and meet General Xue!" ”
Li Yifu quietly walked out from behind, and of course took the remaining 2,000 cavalry with him when he left. Hou Jun Jiguang looked at the Turks in front of him, how could he notice that there were two thousand cavalry missing in the array. Besides, even if he finds out, Hou Junji won't be able to speak, for him, the most important thing is this decisive battle, as long as he wins, then everything is worth it.
The drums of war rumbled, and the Turks took the lead in the attack, and this time it was the Leopard Division commander Suge who was in charge of commanding the army. Su Ge is a good person who commands battles, but this person has a shortcoming, that is, he is easy to get up, and this guy will rush up vigorously as soon as he gets up. It's the same this time, Su Ge was angry with the Han people on the opposite side, and he didn't defend the city of Yizhou, but he had to fight a decisive battle on the Yining grassland, didn't he look down on their Turkic warriors?
The combat power of the Turks is not blown out, don't look at the countless crossbow arrows flying in front of you, but the Turks don't blink a little, they rush forward desperately, the people in front fall, and the people behind continue to go up. The Turks' way of attacking one after another is very similar to the tactics of later generations, but the difference is that the small rifle is replaced by a machete.
The Turks' attack method of not being afraid of death gave the Tang army a lot of psychological pressure, and the crossbowmen always had a pause, even if it was the three-stage shooting method invented by Zuo Wuwei, there was no guarantee that there would be no pause. And it was just this gap, the Turks grasped it, they used wooden sticks against the shield soldiers, the rear knife hands rushed in a steady stream, once the defense line was torn through, the shield soldiers were beaten, the Turks wave their scimitars, hundreds of shield soldiers fell on the grass. At this point, the crossbowmen were about to withdraw to the second line of defense, but the Turks were in hot pursuit, biting the crossbowmen and rushing in front of the somewhat chaotic second line.
The front army was broken through, Zhang Liang had no choice but to move closer to the Chinese army with only the men and horses on the left flank, and as soon as the flag waved, the Tang army on the left flank moved, and at this time, the Turkic cavalry, who had been waiting for an opportunity, howled like a hungry wolf that smelled blood.
As soon as the Turkic cavalry moved, Hou Junji's brows were deeply locked, and the Turks were finally willing to show all their weights. In fact, Hou Junji is not unprepared, it's just that his methods are a little too ruthless. The Turkic cavalry did not know what the Tang army was going to do, and when they rushed to the front of the car, they saw thousands of rockets falling, and these hundreds of vehicles formed a scorching wall of fire.
Hou Junji's train array was effective, it successfully stopped the Turkic advance, of course, Hou Junji's tricks were not only these, he looked at the Turkic infantry in front of him, and waved his hand, "Order the crossbowmen to shoot thirty degrees!" ”
Hou Junji's order was carried out in its entirety, and the 30-degree projectile of the Tang soldiers caused great damage to the Turkic rear formation, and at the same time as the huge damage was gone, the Tang army crossbowmen inevitably entered the attack range of the Turkic cavalry. Bypassing the train formation, the Turkic cavalry lowered their bodies, their scimitars raised, and without waving, there were many crossbowmen who went to their lives.
The battle has been fought so far, it has lost control, Zhang Liang looked at the two sides that were mixed together, but his heart was dripping blood, Dashuai was fighting for his life. At this time, Zhang Liang was also a little unable to understand Hou Junji, if he continued to fight like this, he could win, but the price was too great.
The Turkic cavalry was raging, and Xue Rengui and Li Yifu's five thousand Zuowu Guard cavalry also quietly touched the rear of the Turks. Hearing a miserable scream, Su Ge's eyes almost popped out, the cavalry, the cavalry of the Han people, I didn't expect this Tang army cavalry to hold back until now.
If the battle began, Su Ge would never be afraid of these 5,000 cavalry, but now it doesn't hurt, the army has pounced, how can these thousands of people be left to stop these 5,000 cavalry? Su Ge panicked, and made a fatal mistake, he did not lead the army to meet the enemy, but ordered the cavalry to come to the rescue. Suge's order can be regarded as sending the Turks to the abyss of defeat, for the Turkic cavalry it is to rush to the aid of the Chinese army, but in the eyes of others, it is just fleeing for their lives.
As soon as the infantry saw the cavalry withdraw from the battlefield, they instinctively thought that they were going to withdraw their troops, so the Turks followed the cavalry and retreated, while the Tang army was under pressure sharply, and the Tang army, which had freed up its strength, would not let go of the opportunity, and they carried out a fierce counterattack, especially the left guards on the left flank, who took the lead in inserting into the soft underbelly of the right flank of the Turks.
The time for the counterattack came, and Hou Junji finally showed a little smile, no matter what it was, in short, he Hou Junji won the fight, and he also won a very bloody surname, and the victory made the Turks tremble on their knees.
Su Ge knew that he was defeated, so he directly gave the order to retreat, and in order to ensure the safe evacuation of the army, Su Ge left an eagle division behind. For the remaining eagle divisions, breaking means death, but they did not refuse, because the Turkic warriors should be like the eagles on the steppe, even if they die, they must die vigorously.
Su Ge's withdrawal was considered to be clean, he wanted to withdraw to the camp, but who knew that the camp was also attacked by someone, looking at the billowing smoke, Su Ge had no choice but to sigh on his back.
A battle is over, but the Yining steppe is dyed a blood-red, the Tang army is victorious, but it is also so tragic, destroying 35,000 Turks, the Tang army is also killed more than 30,000 people, and countless people are injured.
In this battle, the Tang army won vigorously, and it was miserable, but Hou Junji didn't care about this, this is his Hou Junji's way of fighting, his method is not the best, but it is the most effective and the most deterrent. Maybe if he were Li Ji, he would definitely be able to reduce casualties, but he would definitely not be able to solve the battle in a day.
A good fighter has no outstanding achievements, this sentence has always remained in Hou Junji's heart, more than ten years ago, Li Jing told him more than once, but he put it aside disapprerovingly. There is no other reason, just because Hou Junji knows what kind of person His Majesty is today, Li Shimin likes victory, but prefers victory that intimidates the enemy, Li Jing and Li Ji will never be able to do this, but he Hou Junji can.
As soon as Su Ge withdrew, there was no longer any obstacle to the east of Gaochang, Hou Junji waved his long sword, and the Tang army advanced into Tiandi City in the northwest of the Yining Grassland with the attitude of a victorious army.
When Hou Junji defeated the Su Ge army, Fang Yiai was not idle, at this time he was leading his subordinates to bypass Dianhe City, and the troops were pointing directly at the west and the end of the river, as for the end of the city, it was only a matter of time.
The place of Dianhe City is very complicated, the west is high and the east is low, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and Gohringham's army is dominated by cavalry, so Fang Yiai does not want to attack the end of the river head-on, the price is too great, with Goringham's shrewdness, he will never fight east of the end of the river again.
"Mo Qishi, is there only one road from us to the Chimo River?" Fang Yiai didn't look at the map, because the map of the Tang Dynasty was too bad, only the name of the place and the river, not even the terrain, and someone in his room could not be trusted with this kind of broken map.
Mo Qi thought for a moment and spread out the map, "Major General, you see, from here to the south, passing through the three forks of Puchanghai, there is a road that can detour to the south side of Golingham's army. ”
Fang Yiai took a closer look, but he didn't see it, and he was also disappointed to have Mo Qishi, otherwise who would know that there was a way to this Puchanghai three-way crossing.
"Okay, let's take the road of Puchanghai and go around to the south of Goringham without knowing it!"
"This young general" Mo Qi scratched his head intermittently, a little embarrassed.
Fang Yiai was a little unhappy, patted Mo Qishi's shoulder and said, "Mo Qishi, what the hell are you doing, just say anything you want!" ”
"Major General, what the last general wants to say is that there is a valley at the fork of this Puchanghai, commonly known as Luoyue Valley, also known as the Valley of Death, and no one can get by!" (To be continued.) )
