Chapter 270 annihilated!
"It's nothing to regret. Jie Li can't run very far!" Li Jing said.
After saying that, he stopped paying attention to anything else and concentrated on observing the situation on the battlefield, ready to attack at any time!
He almost understood what Ji Song was thinking. It was nothing more than luring the snake out of its hole and then gathering together to annihilate it, a tactic he had long used.
But what seemed like an ordinary tactic turned out to be a stroke of genius in this case.
The Turkic cavalry, originally known for their mounted shooting, now numbered less than 2000, and some of them were still poorly equipped.
The rest were dismounted cavalry, which was nothing to the Tang soldiers.
As long as this cavalry is eliminated, the remaining people will become turtles in the urn and can be manipulated by them.
As the battlefield situation continued to change, Li Jing's guess was gradually verified.
The Turks have been blinded by hatred. The great elder has no ability to command an army of ten thousand people, and he fights solely on hatred.
As Ji Song retreated, he kept harassing the Turkic cavalry behind him. He was neither too fast nor too slow, and was always able to hang him up.
It gives them the illusion that as long as they try harder, they can catch up.
What they didn't know was that while they were chasing, the Tang army was using their crossbows, which were far superior to the Turks, to kill them constantly.
Maybe only a few dozen people fell off their horses each time, but as time went by, they slowly realized something was wrong. In fact, their numbers were slowly decreasing.
During the pursuit of less than fifty miles, the soldiers of the Selected Front Battalion had already shot and killed no less than five hundred opposing cavalry. When the Turkic commander noticed something was wrong, Ji Songhe prepared a counterattack.
When they reached a hillside, Ji Song checked the nearby terrain while riding on horseback. After checking, he pointed ahead and said: "The whole army listens to the order. It's time to counterattack. Turn immediately in front."
The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this. According to what they said, they could just rush up and eat it.
But after this period of chasing and escaping, they gradually got a taste of it.
Looking at Ji Song again, his eyes were full of admiration and horror. After nearly fifty miles, they actually killed more than [-] of the opponent's cavalry without any casualties.
how did you do that?Thinking of the supervisor's initial order, they came to their senses. This was a rhythm that was meant to slowly grind each other to death! Immediately, I felt great. It was really fun to follow such a coach. I didn't suffer many casualties, and I could get more heads. Where could I find such a good thing?
As for ordering them to turn, they didn't care, knowing that it was time to fight back.
Ji Song reined in his horse and stood on the hillside, with eight hundred soldiers behind him ready to go. Looking at the Turkic cavalry who had noticed something was wrong and wanted to retreat, Ji Song showed his white teeth.
"kill!"
Then he took the lead and killed the Turkic cavalry. Wherever the sword in his hand touched, there was no enemy.
After breaking through the enemy formation, Ji Song began to lead the crowd to hunt, encircle, surround, divide and annihilate them. In less than half an hour, they were completely disrupted.
"Su Lie!" Ji Song shouted.
Su Lie was already covered in blood at this time, and he couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's or his own. Some of it had begun to solidify into blood-colored ice cubes in the cold wind.
"What are the orders from the manager?" Su Lie asked in a serious voice.
If I just admired Ji Song before, now I admire him from the bottom of my heart! What is the ability to be able to do things that others cannot, and to turn around in desperate situations? He had been prepared to die in battle, but now, in addition to shock, he only felt admiration in his heart.
Ji Song looked at Su Lie with a somewhat incomprehensible look in his eyes, and said solemnly: "You should contact the scouts immediately. They were operating in the periphery at the beginning, and there must be traces of Jie Li."
"Manager, this"
Su Lie was stunned and then shocked. He wanted to say something but was stopped by Ji Song.
"Go quickly!" He took a deep look at Ji Song, took a hundred people with him, and headed northwest. They had seen the code left by the scouts on the road before.
You think Ji Song can retreat in all directions, why did he come towards the northwest?
Long before the attack on the camp, Ji Song had already sent out scouts. It was not easy for them to patrol back and forth on the snow on sleds.
Jie Li's traces have always been under their control, which is why he headed northwest.
As for why he didn't catch Jie Li himself?Maybe this is what he has in mind!
Credit is of no use to you, it is nothing more than icing on the cake!
It's better to 'return the property to its original owner', which can be regarded as fulfilling a wish!
He has seen Su Lie's changes and growth. Both his vision and personality have become much calmer. After this time, he will definitely soar into the sky!
Shaking his head, Ji Song led ten soldiers to patrol the perimeter and shoot all those who were dishonest.
Now is not the time to be merciful. If you don't defeat these people, you won't be able to fight with peace of mind.
He wants to turn all Turks into deaf and blind people, so as to better reduce casualties.
The war has reached this stage, and there is no suspense anymore. If we can reduce casualties, we should try to reduce them as much as possible! Too many people died on the road, and he suffered heavy casualties despite being fully prepared. He couldn't imagine how many Tang soldiers led by Li Jing would be left? "Report to Chief Manager, the battlefield has been cleaned!"
Zhao Dang came to Ji Song and said.
Ji Song was noncommittal, nodded, and looked around the battlefield where there were only war horses but no people, without asking where those people were.
"Rest for half an hour, then ride on horseback to the Turkic royal court!"
"promise!"
"My dear prince-in-law! Please take pity on me. If the general manager knows that I gave all these ballistas to you, why don't you skin me?"
The ballista position is on a high ground, and it has already been covered by heavy snow. Everyone is wearing white cloaks. If you don't look carefully, you may not be able to spot it even when you get there.
But I couldn’t hide it from other people, but I couldn’t hide it from Chai’s Prince Consort who had seen the ballista a long time ago!
There were so many straight things placed there, and people who were unfamiliar with them just didn't know. As soon as Chai Shao heard the report from his own soldiers, he immediately asked Li Jing for orders to inspect the surrounding area and ran out.
But what annoyed him now was that Zhang Lun, who had just been away from his Zuo Xiaowei for a few days, refused to let him touch this thing. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
"Zhang Lun, you have to think clearly. This is what I, the general, and Brother Song have agreed upon. How dare you disobey me? What is An thinking about?" Chai Shao said angrily.
"I'll give it to you when the manager comes back, is that true?" Zhang Lun asked cautiously.
He wants to scold his mother now, what is this?Just now he was thinking of giving the Turkic wolf cub another round, but he never expected that Chai Shao would come so quickly.
For him, as long as he has a ballista in hand, it is obvious credit. How can this be allowed?Anyway, the manager gave himself orders when he left.
If you have to load your own arrows and stay put, that doesn't count as disobedience. In short, it means refusing to give in.
But just when Chai Shao wanted to grab it, a voice made the two of them stop immediately.
"Hey! What is this?"
Li Jing came behind the crowd at some point and pointed at the snow-covered crossbow lane.
