Crown Tang emperor

As for Qi Biming, the idea is more complicated.

One is the pressure from King Yong. King Yong ordered that no prisoners be kept in this battle, which means that as many Turkic invaders as possible must be wiped out. This requires the Tang army to have absolute control on the battlefield. It is safe, but once the Turks are defeated, it is too late to carry out encirclement and annihilation.

The second is to deter the Hequ states. Although the Turks came to the south this time, although they intended to take advantage of the internal turmoil in the Tang Dynasty to take advantage of the fire, but their troops were able to drive straight in, and the Hu tribes along the way did not carry out effective containment. This is also true. It has been exposed that these Hu tribes in the Hequ states seem to be in harmony with each other, and they no longer respect Datang.

Therefore, this time, Qi Biming will take this majestic momentum, leave the city to fight in the field, and simply defeat and even encircle this group of invading thieves, so as to deter the Hequ states and eliminate those fools who have their own schemes. Chieftains, to reorganize the order among the meanders.

Although Qibi Ming was born in Tie Le, his father, Qibi Heli, led his troops back to the Tang Dynasty when he was young. Since then, he has followed Emperor Taizong and accomplished his lifelong achievements in the Tang Dynasty, and the same is true for Qibi Ming.

The tribes of Tie Le are originally a loose alliance. It can be seen from the easy abandonment of Xue Yantuo, the leader of the previous generation, that they are just for profit. How much appeal can such an alliance have?

Regardless of various considerations, it is far better for Qibi and his son to be honored in the temple of the Tang Dynasty than to be a Hu chief in the Heshuo Fortress.Therefore, when considering the Hequ issue, Qi Biming was completely out of the standpoint of a Tang general, those who disrespected need to be deterred, and those who disrupt the law need to be killed!

Under the support of his comrades, Qi Bishun successfully withdrew from the battlefield, his shirt stained with blood, but he could not take off his armor. He crossed his hands under the flag of the commander and said, "Fortunately, the last general did not disgrace his life, and led his troops to fight. The enemy is more than half, come back and return!"

Qi Biming lowered his eyes to look at his son, and found that his left shoulder was slightly collapsed and his robe was soaked with blood, he wanted to ask how his injury was, but since he was in front of the army formation, he could only hold back his sympathy, and only slightly Nodding his head, he said: "The tactics of battle are quite reasonable. I will take a rest and have a little diagnosis and treatment. If there is no serious problem, I will return to the army and stand by!"

After finishing speaking, Qi Biming ignored his son and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.

On the battlefield at this time, both sides invested thousands of people each, and the entire battlefield could no longer accommodate the previous cavalry galloping and changing formations. In the core area of ​​the battle, the soldiers of both sides had already abandoned their horses and fought on foot.Once pulled off the horse, the combat effectiveness of the Turkic soldiers will be weakened by at least [-]%.

Although these Turkic elites are also equipped with hard armor, sharp spears, and even other equipment options such as bows and knives.But when it comes to the complexity of ordnance and the coordination and changes of various tactics, it is not the opponent of Tang Jun at all.

A standard main force of the Tang army, in addition to the basic ration of armor, knives, bows and crossbows, has as many as a dozen weapons to choose from.Although the load is limited, these weapons cannot all be carried on the battlefield, but as long as the generals deploy them intentionally, and various soldiers are equipped with different weapons, they can greatly enrich the tactical options in various combat environments.

In the Tang army's infantry battles, the most classic method of warfare is to reject the horse spear forest. When Su Dingfang expedition to the Western Turks, he set up a formation near the river, with vertical spears as a forest, and shot them with bows and crossbows. Although the Western Turks had a crowd of [-], they could not break them.There is also the Mo Dao battle formation, entering the wall and killing powerful enemies.

The situation on the battlefield today is more complicated. Although both sides are fighting with cavalry, as the battle becomes more intense and each other gradually increases their troops, the space left on the battlefield is extremely small, and there is no room for cavalry to maneuver. drag.

After the two sides abandoned their horses and fought on foot, in the process of handing over short soldiers, weapons such as long spears were not conducive to killing the enemy.Both sides are well-armored. Once they cannot break through the armor and are bullied by the enemy, the spears will not be able to return to defense.

Although the spear point is long and has the effect of piercing armor, it is under the condition of great inertial blessing, if only relying on the swing of the arm strength, it is difficult to effectively piercing the armor to kill the enemy.Therefore, after dismounting and fighting, most of the Turkic soldiers chose swords, which were also one of their few spare weapons.

But looking back at the Tang army, there are more choices. Among them, there are those who form a formation with Mo Dao, advancing against the wall, and constantly approaching as the main force in the battle formation.The swords used in the Turkic army are far less powerful than the Mo Dao, which is invincible and the battle line is being compressed steadily.

If it is just Mo Dao, it is not enough to completely lock in the advantage.After all, Modao has extremely high requirements for users, and it is expensive to build. Tang Jun only had 200 Modao fighters on the battlefield. In order to use these 2000 people to kill the enemy, more than [-] people were used to cooperate.In order to ensure that the Mo Dao formation will not be dispersed, a large number of jumping soldiers must be arranged on the two wings.

As for the jumping soldiers guarding the Mo Dao formation, they are not traditional sword and shield fighters.Although the horizontal knife also has a certain armor-piercing effect, it is not ideal overall.

Knowing that the Turkic armor they were facing in this battle was good, the Tang army carried many armor-piercing tools, such as hammers, and even iron picks used for camping and digging wells, in order to shock and kill the enemy.Many Turkic soldiers were battered so that their armor was sunken. On the surface, there may be no obvious injuries, but inside they were shaken so that their viscera were dislocated, and they vomited blood and died.

What shocked the Turkic soldiers the most was that the reason why these Tang soldiers fought so bravely was that they were blessed by some evil method.Because every time Tang Jun killed a person, he yelled "Ten Mian", most of the Turkic soldiers didn't know what it meant, but they clearly felt that every time Tang Jun yelled like this, his momentum grew a little bit.

So on the battlefield, some Turkic soldiers held the mentality of giving it a try, and suddenly imitated Tang Jun and shouted, but when they were still waiting to feel the blessing of different forces, they were smashed to the ground by Tang Jun from the side.

"I'm so daring, I'm so scared! I thought I accidentally hurt my comrade... ten strings!"

After yelling, the Tang army soldier continued to move forward to kill the enemy bravely.

"No retreat! No..."

In the big camp of the Turkic side, seeing their own soldiers on the battlefield constantly being pushed back, they became very anxious for a while, and even wanted to go out to supervise the battle in person.

The troops suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, and Mo Chuai naturally noticed them. But at the same time, he also noticed that, if it is true in terms of strength alone, it seems that the Tang army on the opposite side is even less than their Turkic troops, because some Tang army soldiers retreated for a short time. , After a short rest, they continued to fight, obviously there was not enough reserve force.

But this discovery didn't have much effect, because on the frontal battlefield, after losing the first battle, the Tang army had been suppressing the crazy output of their Turkic troops. As the casualties increased, the fighting will of the troops also declined rapidly.

Although no serious defeat has occurred yet, the Tang army is advancing faster and faster.In particular, the tactics of the Tang Army are far superior to the Turks. On the battlefield, infantry and cavalry are combined. In addition to defending the infantry and rushing to kill, the cavalry will alternate with each other. Ranger's approach.

Although the Turkic soldiers on the battlefield are also mixed with infantry and cavalry, they are more forced by the battlefield environment. Some people have to dismount to meet the enemy, but they do not have the corresponding tactics.

Seeing that this continues, the troops on the battlefield may be directly forced back to the river bay, and it will be much more difficult to rush out at that time.

So Mochuo ordered again: "Continue to increase the army, we must break through the blockade of the Tang army! The Tang army has not many troops, and after several fierce battles, it will definitely be exhausted!"

However, after he finished giving the order, he found that there were very few responses from the surroundings. When he turned his head and looked around, he found that several small tribal chiefs were showing their reluctance.

"Khan, the Tang army is besieging the road ahead, and it is very murderous. Even if all the warriors of the tribe are left here, they may not be able to kill them! The sons are all young and strong in the tribe. Is it really necessary to send them out to be slaughtered by the Tang army? ?”

A little chieftain boldly said: "There are over a thousand Tang captives and thousands of miscellaneous beards in the camp. We can use them as a threat to let the Tang Kingdom stop their troops and let them go! Even if they don't spare their lives, we can still sell some treasures." If they continue to kill, the people of Tang will also suffer heavy losses. Now return their people and wealth to them and let them let them go..."

After silently sipping and hearing the words, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, but after a moment of silence, he still adopted a kind attitude, pointed to the little chief who made the sound and said: "It makes sense, then you will see General Tang Jun."

Chapter 0579 Hu chiefs surrendered, the Turks collapsed

On the battlefield at the foot of Malingpo, the fighting continued, and in the midst of life and death, the sun had gradually climbed into the sky.

"Boss, the last general please continue to fight!"

After Qi Bisheng treated his injuries and took a short rest, he came under the flag again to ask for a fight.

Seeing the fierce fighting on the battlefield, Qi Bi's face sank like water, but he nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"

When it comes to the real comparison of military strength, the Tang army is actually inferior to the Turkic army. Qi Biming rushed to aid Yuanzhou this time, but he led no more than [-] troops, and there were almost no auxiliary soldiers and supplies to follow.But on the other hand, the Turks, although they have penetrated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there are nearly [-] people.

If it was stationed at Maling Fort, even if the number of Turkic troops doubled, Qi Biming could sit in calmly and defend according to the danger, so that the bandits would not be able to cross the Guanshan Mountain.

However, since they chose field battles, it was tantamount to giving up the greatest advantage of the Tang army. The Turkic army, in such a situation where they went deep into the enemy's territory and were isolated and helpless, already had the consciousness of throwing their lives and fighting with their backs, and wanted to destroy the enemy in the field. It is undoubtedly doubly difficult to have a living force.

However, the enemies Tang Jun faced were not only the tens of thousands of Turkic thieves in front of him, but also many Hu tribes around Hequ who had already concealed their disrespect. The Turks, as well as the Tubo who are eyeing the tiger, can only effectively suppress some potential dangers with the high morale of the Tang army. Therefore, the Tang army can only achieve the expected results if it fights clumsily.

At this time on the battlefield, all the troops of the Tang army that were engaged in the battle had at least gone through World War II, but the Turkic bandit army still showed no signs of collapsing.This high-intensity battle still needs to be maintained.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Turkic rebels penetrated thousands of miles into the territory of the Tang State, and the guest army fought alone and bravely, and they were able to stalemate the Tang army. In this way, the Tang State really has no prestige to boast about.

However, they will not see the revolution in the capital of God, the turmoil in Xijing, and the Tang Dynasty's resolute siege and killing of the Turkic bandits at this time of internal and external troubles!

Therefore, the Tang army needs an impeccable victory, and needs to show unquestionable bravery under any circumstances, and the only way to achieve this goal is to wipe out this bandit army.

In fact, after several hours of fierce fighting, Tang Jun's advantage has become extremely obvious, and the battle front has advanced for more than several miles.In addition to the fierce battle still in the middle of the battlefield, some cavalry pawns on the periphery have even been able to patrol and attack the main formation at the Turkic River Bend.

To achieve such a result, the Turkic army was full of corpses, and the Tang army also paid a heavy price.Qi Biming led [-] troops to this point, except for the [-] soldiers in the middle army who were still waiting for attack, the rest of the troops had already lost more than [-]% of their troops.

This is still the loss caused by the Tang army already occupying the dominant advantage on the battlefield, and the losses of the Turkic side must be much more.The greatest danger on the battlefield is that it must be fought. Once both sides have the need to fight, the battlefield will become a meat grinder and a monster that devours human lives.

No matter what kind of flexible strategies the commanders of the two sides had before the battle, on the frontal battlefield, only the willpower of the soldiers on both sides was contested.Once any side can't bear such a tragic battle, it will definitely lose this war!

Seeing his wounded son lead the team into the battlefield again, Qi Biming didn't feel any more emotion, he just put on his battle armor silently, and ordered the more than a thousand soldiers in the Chinese army to get ready to go into the battlefield again.

Once the Chinese army enters the battle, it will either become the last straw that crushes the Turks and completely collapse the situation on the battlefield, or through the fighting of these vital forces, it will buy time for the entire army to evacuate the battlefield and retreat to rest. There is a third situation that occurs.

But as soon as the Chinese army had finished changing their outfits, a third situation appeared on the battlefield.

In the Turkic camp at the bend of the river, the sound of calling for gold and withdrawing troops suddenly sounded. When the sound of the bugle sounded into the battlefield, not only the soldiers of the Tang army who were still fighting were stunned for a moment, but even the Turkic army, which was already at the end of its strength and barely supported. Everyone was also surprised.

But a military order is a military order. Although the Turkic soldiers were very surprised, after hearing the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops, they quickly gathered their troops and gradually retreated back.

"This is the victory, the Chinese army will attack!"

Although Qi Biming was also curious about why the Turkic battalion issued such an order, after all, the Turkic soldiers on the battlefield were still stubbornly resisting despite their obvious decline. It was a good time, so Qi Biming, who put on his armor, gave an order immediately without waiting for a second thought.

The more than a thousand soldiers in the Chinese army had already accumulated their strength for a long time. After hearing the order of the whole army to attack, they immediately galloped towards the battlefield.

At this time, the Turkic army on the battlefield was already struggling to survive, and what they relied on was nothing more than a little courage to fight with their backs and die if they didn't fight.But when he heard the military order to retreat, even this bit of lonely courage quickly faded away, while Tang Jun beat the drums and fought again.

The two military orders were diametrically opposed, so the stalemate on the battlefield quickly tilted towards the Tang army, and they continued to chase and kill with more courage.As for the Turkic army, they were stubbornly disintegrated and defeated. In this short retreat, nearly a thousand lives were lost, while the front line of the Tang army was directly approaching outside the main line at the Turkic River Bend!

Not to mention that the Turkic army was defeated like a mountain, and when the Tang army went out of the Turkic camp, it was difficult to push forward for a while.

I saw that outside the Turkic camp, there were many unarmed people lined up in plain onyx and linen.These people were terrified and weeping uncontrollably. Although they stood outside the Turkic army, they were all Tang people!

"Damn the Turkic thieves!"

As the general who entered the battlefield in the second round, Li Ge also carried the Mo Dao at this time, and rushed to the forefront. When he saw the Turks arranging the captured Tang civilians outside the camp, his eyes were shattered for a while. He cursed bitterly.

At this time, Qi Biming also led the Chinese army to rush to the front. After seeing this scene, he hurriedly ordered the army to be reined in.It's not because of the benevolence of his wife, but because he really can't bear it and dare not order the soldiers to swing their butcher's knives at the unarmed Tang people.

Not long after the Tang army took control, new changes soon appeared in the opposite Turkic camp. A Turkic nobleman with thick braided hair and a golden crown led a dozen people out in black clothes, holding white flags in their hands. forward.

Seeing this scene, Tang Junjun burst into violent cheers.Since Zhenguan, the army of the Tang Dynasty has been the most powerful in the world. They are no strangers to this kind of scenes. It is a sign that the enemy's fighting spirit has collapsed and they have surrendered.

"Bringing people closer!"

Although His Royal Highness King Yong ordered that no prisoners be taken in this battle, Qi Biming gave the order after a long time of contemplation when he saw the people wailing and begging for mercy in front of the Turkic camp.

Soon, the Turkic nobleman was led to Qibiming, who paid respects to Qibiming's horse with the great ceremony of the Tang Dynasty, and said respectfully: "The Turkic Khanate Meilu Zhi lost the bandits and wild falcons to pay a visit to the Marshal of the Tang Dynasty!" General Manager, this servant is ordered by Jiedolishi Khan to go out of the camp and worship the Heavenly Army of the Tang Kingdom, and ask Master Wang to forgive me for my disrespect, and to reunite with friends, benevolence and righteousness are the measure, and stop fighting!"

"For a quarter of an hour, release the citizens of Tang Dynasty who are detained, and attack again after the time expires!"

Qi Biming glanced at the Turkic nobleman who was bowing in front of the horse, and said in a cold voice.

After hearing the words, the Turkic Meiluzhi lost the bandits and wild falcons, his face froze for a moment, and he was waiting to reply and argue, but all the Tang soldiers around him had already drawn their knives forward, and their expressions were very unfriendly.After seeing this, the Bandit Falcon didn't dare to say anything more, so he called an attendant behind him, whispered a few words, and then sent him back to the camp.

In the Hewan camp, after hearing the conditions of the troops reporting back to the commander of the Tang army, Mo Chuo nodded silently for a moment and said: "Bring back the Tang prisoners!"

"Khan think twice, Tang Jun..."

After hearing the news, the other small chieftains of the Hu tribe couldn't help but panic, worrying that Khan would so easily agree to Tang Jun's appeal, and that the Tang Jun commander would definitely make more progress and continue to make more excessive demands.

However, Mo Chuo ignored everyone's dissuasion, and just said: "Let him go!"

Following the silent order, the Turkic soldiers in front of the camp let go of the control and restraint on those Tang prisoners.When Chad was free, the captives were ecstatic and ran wildly, and the soldiers of the Tang army also spontaneously let go of the road, allowing these people to flee back to the range of their own soldiers.

However, at this moment, the Turkic camp suddenly sounded drums and horns, causing great commotion, and many Turkic soldiers who had just returned to the camp were also startled by it, making the commotion uneasy.

At the core of the Turkic camp, Mo Chuai's confidants suddenly rose up, and first swung their butcher knives at the little chieftains of the tribe surrounding the Khan.Many Turkic nobles have already lost their heads before they could react.

"Meilu bandits and wild falcons colluded with the Tang army and wanted to harm Khan! The Turkic warriors did not want their lives and wealth to be sold to Tang by Meilu, so they ran for their lives!"

Mo Chuai's cronies yelled loudly while chasing and killing those Hu chiefs in the headquarters.

As for Mo Chuai, under the support of some cronies, he changed out of his eye-catching robes and moved to a position on the outskirts of the camp.

With the riots in the Turkic camp, the situation that had calmed down a little bit became turbulent again.Because the Tang army wanted to take over the captured people, the encirclement was slightly relaxed.

At this time, in the Turkic army formation, people were already panicked and could not become powerful, especially seeing the nobles from the headquarters descending, they were even more apprehensive about their own fate.

As usual, even if they were unhappy, they would have to accept the fate of surrendering to the Tang State, but now, each of them got a lot of money from the plunder. Once they surrendered to the Tang Army, the Tang Army would naturally not let them keep their wealth. Then you will lose both people and money.

So those Turkic soldiers also spontaneously picked up their weapons again, trying hard to break through the blockade of the Tang army, and chaos broke out, and the situation was chaotic for a while!

Chapter 0580 violates my territory, leaving nothing behind

"Besiege and kill the Turkic thieves, don't leave a single person!"

Qi Biming didn't intend to make friends with the Turks, but he was concerned about the lives of those Tang people. At this time, the captives had already been taken back. Seeing the collapse of the Turkic army, there was no hesitation. Immediately issue the kill order again.

Not to keep any prisoners is the highest command the Tang army has accepted in this battle, so even though seeing the Turkic nobles surrender, it does not detract from the fighting spirit.Especially when I saw the Turkic rebels threatening the lives of Tang civilians, I was even more resentful. Now that I heard the order of the Chinese army, I no longer had any scruples, summoned up my remaining courage, and went straight to kill the Turkic rebels.

The Turkic army was defeated and retreated from the battlefield. They were originally poor, and they retreated to the camp for only a short time.

Or they still refused to give in and accept their fate with a little desire for survival, and rushed to all directions with all their strength. For a while, some places broke through the blockade of the Tang army's battle formation and fled to the countryside.After all, the Tang army here is only [-], and they can suppress the Turks by virtue of their power, but it is difficult to completely block and siege the nearly [-] Turks.

At this time, Mo Chuo had already changed into an ordinary battalion soldier's attire, and there were only nearly a hundred followers around him. Charge out everywhere.

There are hundreds of Tang soldiers in this place, and all the enemies they see in their field of vision are all head-on, slashing with their knives.At this time, the Turkic army, who had already been defeated, fled desperately, and it was even more difficult for the military law to restrain them.Such an enemy is naturally not an opponent of the Tang army who is still fighting solidly. Wherever they face each other, they will throw their bodies away.

But manpower is limited after all. No matter how brave and invincible the Tang army is at this time, the only enemy that can be killed is the immediate enemy.

Mo Chuai and his party took advantage of the short-term chaos and successfully broke through the blockade of the battlefield by the Tang army. When they looked back, they saw that the Tang army had consciously shrunk the front line and squeezed the space for the Turkic army to move.

As for the Turkic soldiers who had already lost the restraint of the military order, they were crowded in the increasingly cramped space at the bend of the river, unable to organize an effective counterattack at all, and only a small number of them could really escape from the battle.

"Khan, it's better to leave here as soon as possible. If Tang Jun turns around and chases after him, it will be even more catastrophic!"

Ye Gong, who rushed out of the battlefield with Mo Chuan, saw Mo Chuan's expression was defeated, and he seemed to linger. He hurriedly spoke to persuade him, and stepped forward to hold the reins of Mo Chuan's mount, and then dragged it vigorously.

"Today's defeat, I will pay back tenfold!"

After silently hearing the words, a painful determination flashed across his face, and then he swung his whip and fled towards the southeast of the battlefield.

The reason why he abandoned the army and fled this time was not just because of his life, but after hearing the advice of several tribal chiefs, he realized that it would be difficult to get good results if he loved to fight here again.

Judging from the comparison of actual combat power, the Turkic army in this area undoubtedly has the ability to continue to fight fiercely with the Tang army, but Mo Chuai still underestimated the fear and fear of the small Turkic chiefs towards the Tang State from the bottom of their hearts.

These Turkic nobles still cannot let go of the failure decades ago.At present, these Turkic nobles not only regret and admire the glory of their ancestors, but also hate and fear the Datang that ended the Turkic hegemony.

This kind of complex psychology is implemented in actual actions, that is, if there is a chance to bite Tang Guo, these Turkic nobles will spare no effort, and everyone will enjoy it.But once they faced Tang's retaliation, they were too panicked to control themselves.

This time the Turks went south, massacred and captured many Tang people, looted Tang's treasury, and instigated many turmoil among its affiliated Hu tribes. This undoubtedly offended Tang to the extreme, and there was no harmony between them. live.

But under such a situation, those small tribal chiefs actually fantasized about negotiating with Tang State in order to survive. Such an idea is simply extremely stupid and whimsical!

But no matter how stupid this idea is, Mo Chuai cannot take it lightly, because this is the true expression of the hearts of those small tribal chiefs at the critical moment of life and death.

Probably in their view, those who are as powerful as Jieli Khan have to enter the Tang Dynasty to dance and dance to survive. These small tribal chieftains originally lived in the confines of the Tang Kingdom, but because of their anger, they became wild dogs who jumped out of their houses and became monks. It doesn't seem so unacceptable to return to Datang's control now.

The border policy of the Tang Kingdom tolerated hundreds of ethnic groups. In the early years, Jieli Khan came to Weibei and forced the emperor of the Tang Kingdom to sign an alliance under the city. However, after giving up his self-esteem, he was still able to survive under the protection of the Tang Kingdom.This is also one of the reasons why many Hu tribes resented Tang and opposed Tang, but they surrendered to Tang after they were exhausted.

Of course, if it only stopped here, it wouldn't make Mo Chuo abandon the whole army and flee lightly.Without even thinking about it, he can outline the further thoughts in these people's hearts.

Although Tang's detention policy is tolerant, it is not able to tolerate all crimes.The Turkic invasion of Yuanzhou this time really offended Datang severely, not to mention that they, the survivors of the restoration of the country, were already more guilty in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, if you want to survive, surrender alone is not enough, you need more performance.As the current Khan of the Turkic Khan who leads the army here and advocates the invasion of Yuanzhou, Mo Chuo is naturally the best gift these people gave to the Tang court.
