Chapter 272 Crazy Li Ji immediately noticed the changes in the enemy army on the opposite side. His relaxed expression suddenly became serious, and he said to the soldiers beside him: "Quickly report to the general manager, the situation has changed!"
"No!" The soldier also sensed something was wrong and responded immediately.
Seeing the soldiers galloping away, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that there might be a tough battle to be fought soon.
When Li Jing found out, he also frowned. After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Tell Li Ji to avoid his edge, dampen his spirit, and retreat while fighting!"
"promise!"
"Avoid its edge, dampen its spirit, fight and retreat at the same time?"
Li Ji heard that the soldiers had recovered, and after carefully recalling these twelve words, he finally made up his mind.
"The forwards with swords and shields are forward, the crossbowmen are behind, and the cavalry on both wings are looking for opportunities to attack and kill."
At this time, the two armies on the battlefield had no way out. The great elder wanted to delay the Tang army as much as possible and give the Tang army a heavy blow, hoping to give Jie Li some opportunities.
The Tang army wanted to end the war as soon as possible, and fighting on the grasslands was not conducive to the Tang Dynasty. If Jie Li was really allowed to escape and ascend to heaven to find reinforcements, all their current advantages would be lost.
Therefore, at this time, both sides have no way out. Only by completely defeating the other party can they have a chance of survival.
Although the Turks were burned down by Ji Song, the royal court was burned down, but don't forget that this was just the royal court, and there were not many Turks in it.
If Jieli were to integrate all the Turkic tribes at all costs, hundreds of thousands of cavalry would come roaring in in an instant.
Therefore, this fight cannot be avoided.
If they don't defeat this remnant army, they will have countless troubles in the future.
Both armies began to charge with the determination to die. The Tang army was well prepared and fought with cavalry. It should have been a one-sided massacre.
But now it has become a fight to the death.
"Are they desperate for their lives?" Li Ji said in disbelief as he looked at the Turks who directly blocked the cavalry with their bodies.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. It is true that Ji Song did too cruelly before. Not only did he burn the Turkic royal court to a white ground, but he also caused heavy casualties to the Turkic people.
The people who can live in the royal court are either high-ranking or die-hard loyalists to Jie Li. There is no need to doubt the fighting ability of these people.
Although there is no war horse to assist, it still displays the momentum of the former overlord.
In addition, the Turks had been proficient in bows and horses since they were young. Although they did not have war horses, the bows and arrows in their hands still caused heavy casualties to the Tang army.
The old and weak people in the front used their bodies to block the Tang army's cavalry, while the Turkic warriors in the rear drew their bows and shot arrows. At this time, they actually exploded with astonishing combat power.
Li Ji realized something was wrong and immediately began to adjust his tactics. First, the cavalry was dispatched to harass the enemy on the left and right sides.
They used bows and crossbows that were superior to those of the grassland people to shoot the enemy troops from a long distance, and then detached a group of troops to bypass the enemy troops and constantly disrupt the enemy's arrangements.
Although the number of Turkic casualties at this time was far greater than that of the Tang army, this was not what Li Ji wanted to see.
Under the leadership of their great elder, the Turks broke out with astonishing fighting power, but he knew that this was only temporary. As long as they lasted until they breathed their last breath, the Turks would be destroyed.
After resting for half an hour, Ji Song was ready to return. At this time, he did not know that the Turks had already started fighting with Li Jing's army.
At this time, he was not in a hurry to fight the Turks head-on. He only had less than 800 men. If he wanted to completely defeat the remnants of the Turks who had been blinded by hatred, even if he and others won, it would be a miserable victory.
But at the same time, it also knew that if the main force of Li Jing's army did not appear yet, he could only wait until Su Lie captured Jie Li and retreat immediately.
But they will definitely be chased and intercepted by the Turks on the grassland next. As for how many people will survive in the future, he cannot , when he was about to reach the royal court, he heard shouts of death from far ahead.
"Go and see what's going on!"
Zhao Dang also heard the movement ahead, and after promising Ji Song, he immediately galloped away.
But Ji Song was a little worried and said to Wang Fang and others: "You guys should go too. If there is any disharmony, immediately withdraw and discuss the matter."
Wang Fang was stunned when he heard this, but soon understood that Zhang Lun had a big killer weapon there.
Several people were also worried about Zhao Dang's comfort and immediately followed him.
After a while, Zhao Dang and others quickly returned, and at the same time there was one more person.
Just when Ji Song was confused, they had already arrived.
"The manager is so happy!" Zhao Dang didn't care about anything else. Before anyone arrived, Ji Song could hear the joy in his tone.
Ji Song was stunned, could it be that "Reporting to the General Manager, the main force of the General Manager's army in front has begun to fight with the Turks. At the same time, General Chai's people have also arrived, with tens of thousands of elite cavalry."
Zhao Dang didn't beat around the bush and said it all in one breath.
When Ji Song heard this, his figure swayed on Honglei's back and almost fell off.
"Boss!"
"Master Hou!"
Liu Laoer supported Ji Song and said anxiously: "Master Hou, are you okay?"
Ji Song shook off Liu Laoer and said to Zhao Dang, "Can you see clearly?"
Zhao Dang grinned widely, pushed the Tang soldier behind him to the front, and said with a smile: "This is a subordinate prisoner, no, he is an invited friendly army, let him do the talking!"
Sun Liu was so ashamed and angry that he was fighting with the enemy. He was about to kill the enemy, and he was about to get his military exploits.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly shot out several arrows, which immediately turned the opponent into a sieve, and he was even captured by them.
I originally thought that I was doomed, but I didn't expect that I was captured by friendly forces. I originally thought that I could get a few more acres of land when I returned home with my military exploits, but now it's all fucked, it's over. After listening to the descriptions of Zhao Dang and others, Ji Song also felt sad for this unlucky guy. It was really that this happened to him. Ji Song shook his head, not thinking about this, and said: "Okay, don't cry and look sad. Your achievements will not be lost. Please tell me what's going on?"
Sun Liu was overjoyed when he heard this and said in surprise: "Are you true to your word?"
Liu Laoer was not happy when he heard this and cursed: "You don't even know who the person in front of you is? Who can take credit for your achievements?"
Sun Liu curled his lips and said nothing, but what he meant was that your words are unfounded, so why should I believe you.
"Just take this and register. As long as it doesn't exceed the third level of merit, it's up to you." Ji Song threw out a token, and Sun Liushou quickly caught it.
Although he didn't know Zi, he had seen this thing before. It was a token only for people above the marquis, so he immediately believed it.
Since they were one of their own, they had nothing to hide. Then they told how they went astray, how they met with Chai Shao, and how they fought with the remnants of the Turks.
Ji Song was overjoyed after hearing this. Who knew how much pressure he was feeling during this period? If he was not careful, his entire army would be wiped out.
If he caused the failure of this war that changed the turning point of the Eastern world, he wouldn't know what to do. Killing him ten times would not be an exaggeration! (End of this chapter)
