Chapter 269 Battle!
"How long?"
Just as Ji Song was preparing to raid, the coalition forces of Li Jing and Chai Shao also approached the Turks' home base.
"Look, what is that?"
Li Ji inadvertently saw dozens of fires falling from the sky in the distance, and within a short time the front was as bright as day.
Li Jing looked solemnly at the rockets, which were like fire and meteors, appearing in the sky again, and then they continued to hit the ground.
Chai Shao was shocked at first, then overjoyed, and said to Li Jing: "Quick, let the soldiers attack immediately. Those are Song Geer's crossbow arrows. He has already started to attack."
"Ballista?"
Li Jing looked puzzled, but this was not the time to dwell on this. Instead, he confirmed: "Chai Shao, how can you confirm that this is the Hao Jiehou that has been launched? You know."
Knowing what Li Jing was worried about, Chai Shao said without hesitation: "I will pledge my life as a guarantee and ask the general manager to immediately order an attack. There are less than a thousand of them. If we are late, we will have to collect their bodies for them."
"Go ahead with the order and march at full speed. The scouts will immediately come forward to investigate the enemy's situation!"
This time Li Jing did not hesitate. Although he didn't know why Chai Shao was so sure, he still chose to believe that the situation was not much different from what he and Li Ji expected.
If Ji Song hadn't launched the attack, he really couldn't think of anyone who would have made such a big fuss at this time.
"Herod!"
Ji Song reined in his horse and stopped, and the less than eight hundred soldiers behind him who had been bleeding for more than an hour also stopped in an instant.
The originally noisy battlefield immediately became quiet, leaving only the heavy breathing of the war horses.
After seeing the great elder opposite, his eyes tightened for a while, but he soon regained his composure.
"Aren't the Emperors of the Tang Dynasty afraid of panic in surrounding countries by doing this?"
The Great Elder calmed down and started questioning the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty about his treachery, and even threatened neighboring countries!
Ji Song chuckled and rode his horse forward. He didn't stop until he was within a stone's made the great elder feel regretful for a while, but he quickly adjusted his attitude. Since conspiracy didn't work, he would use hard force.
"Can I understand that this is a threat?" Honglei turned anxiously, and the army on the opposite side put a lot of pressure on it.
Ji Song kept comforting him, and then he calmed down!
"I am the Marquis? Are you the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty?" The elder was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that the person who almost killed them in the fire was just a little Marquis? Ji Song laughed when he heard this, turned around and said loudly to the soldiers of the Selection Camp: "Tell me who I am?"
"promise!"
Everyone loudly agreed in unison, and their uniform roar made the remaining Turkic soldiers on the opposite side panic.
"Listen up to the person on the other side. The person standing in front of you is my Hao Jie County Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, Ji Song, Ji Ziyi!" Su Lie said loudly.
"The Marquis of Hao County, Ji Song is the one!"
"The Marquis of Hao County, Ji Song is the one!"
Everyone shouted loudly, making the remnant Turkic soldiers who were already a little panic become even more panic!
The great elder was furious and killed several people in succession before stopping the panic of the soldiers.
But at the same time there was a burst of sadness!
When did the former overlord of the grassland and the warrior of the Great Turks become like this?When did this start?
How arrogant and proud the Turks used to be, and how did they make the world surrender?
But looking at it now, the tribe has been completely destroyed by the fires of the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers have lost much fighting , please save your people!
"Li Shimin betrayed his trust and openly negotiated peace with the Turks, but secretly used such cruel methods. The warriors on the grassland will not accept it. I, the Great Khan, will definitely kill you all."
The great elder was trembling all over, pointed at Ji Song, and said angrily.
When Ji Song saw him like this, he knew there was nothing more to say, so he turned around and returned to his own formation and began to prepare.
The great Turkic elder picked up the oldest wolf flag that symbolized the Turkic people and said loudly: "Turkic warriors, your wives and children have been killed by the Tang army on the opposite side. Now it's time for revenge."
"Wash away your shame and kill them in the most cruel way."
"Kill!"
Nearly ten thousand Turks had red eyes, looking at the tents that had been burned in the fire and their wives and children who no longer knew whether they were alive or dead. They could no longer bear it.
Revenge, this is the only belief in their hearts!
"As long as we launch an attack later, the enemy's cavalry will be the first to go out. What we have to do is to completely defeat the opponent's cavalry. Do you understand?"
Of course Ji Song saw the situation on the other side. He had killed his wife and children and destroyed the human race. If he didn't take revenge, Ji Song would look down on them.
It may be that the fire drove away a large number of war horses, and the cavalry on the opposite side was only one-fifth of the total.
This allowed Ji Song to see an opportunity. As long as he defeated the opponent's cavalry, he would control the direction of the war and the opponent would not be able to overturn the situation.
The two-parter is on the verge of breaking out, there’s not much to say at all, and it gets into a fever pitch right from the start.
One is the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who came to capture the thieves and the king at the risk of annihilation. The other is the soldiers of the Turks who had their homes destroyed and wanted revenge.
Ji Song did not rush into the formation foolishly. The moment the opponent's cavalry came out, they began to retreat, first drawing the cavalry out, and then looking for opportunities to defeat them.
As for the Turks who have no horses, Ji Song doesn't take it very seriously, and the appetizers haven't been served yet! Therefore, Ji Song kept fighting and slowly led the Turkic cavalry out of the opponent's army.
"What is this kid doing? He dares to attack the tens of thousands of Turkic elites who are full of hatred and want revenge?" Chai Shao looked on in confusion and couldn't figure out why Ji Song did this.
Li Jing did not speak, but kept observing the battlefield situation.
Just when Ji Song was fighting on the outside, they had already arrived.
Li Jing rejected Chai Shao's idea of sending troops to support immediately, and instead asked the soldiers to take a good rest. They had just marched all the way and were already exhausted, so it was really not a good time.
Chai Shao is also a man who knows soldiers and knows that Li Jing did the right thing. He is just worried about Ji Song!
But seeing that Ji Song led less than a thousand soldiers to fight with the momentum of thousands of troops, I felt a sense of pride.
Originally he was worried about his safety, but when he saw the dilapidated Turkic camp, he couldn't help laughing anymore.
It was really exciting. With less than a thousand people, they actually succeeded in attacking the camp. Not only did they complete their original mission, but they also caused such heavy casualties to the Turks.
At this time, their mentality has long been different. As long as they catch the old thief Jie Li again, this war initiated by the Tang Dynasty with the power of the whole country will come to a perfect end.
"Still haven't found any trace of Jie Li?" Li Jing asked.
When he saw that Jie Li was not leading the army, he knew that Jie Li had run away.
So, he immediately called people to look for traces of Jie Li.
"No, the battlefield is very chaotic. We arrived a step late. The heavy snow has covered many traces!"
Li Ji said with regret! (End of this chapter)
