Chapter 668 The war begins
Li Wan's bravery made the expressions of the Turkic army freeze. They originally thought that the other party was just an ordinary general, but unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be a fierce general, and he killed their ten thousand captain with one sword.
Li Wan looked at the corpse on the ground and sneered: "You are not overestimating your own capabilities."
Then he raised his sword and pointed it at the Turkic army, saying: "If you don't retreat, we will show no mercy on the battlefield."
Zhi lost Si Li slowly walked out from Wanjun on horseback and said: "General Li Wan, I admire your bravery. If you are willing to surrender to the Khan, I will promise you a position as a general on behalf of the Khan.
, okay?"
"Haha, a mere general wants to bribe me. He really underestimates me. Even if you give me the position of Khan, I feel it is too small."
"General Li Wan, you have a big appetite. Does Li Shimin know that you want to be a Khan?"
"Humph, you don't need to stir up discord again. It's up to you to surrender or fight. We've been waiting for you for a long time." After saying this, Li Wan turned around and rode away. It was useless to say more.
At this time, a Jieli Khan wearing a soldier's clothes came out and asked: "Zhi lose the power, why are you talking so much nonsense to her? Lead your troops to attack her now."
"Khan, although Li Wan is a woman, she is Li Jing's daughter and also a fierce general.
Although Li Shimin values love and righteousness, he is also very jealous. He is very jealous of Li Jing because Li Jing's talents are very powerful. Once he joins us, it will be more useful than if we add hundreds of thousands of troops.
After today, we will go to Chang'an to spread rumors that Li Wan wants to become our queen, so that Li Shimin will be suspicious of Li Jing, and it is best to force Li Jing to rebel." Zhi lost Si Li said.
When Jieli Khan heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Gao, it's really high. I'm too stubborn to think. After the war, I will make you the prime minister. Don't refuse."
"Thank you Khan. I will not refuse this time. This time we will take over the Central Plains and we will never give Li Shimin a chance again." Zhi lost Si Li said.
He now regretted that four years ago, he was soft-spoken and unconvincing, which resulted in the Turkic army not attacking Chang'an but signing the Weishui Treaty with Li Shimin.
Although it seems that the Weishui Covenant suffered a loss to the Tang Dynasty, it also gave the Tang Dynasty a chance to breathe. Now they are able to fight against themselves.
But this time they must reach Chang'an. No matter how generous Li Shimin offered, he could not agree. The Turks could only directly take over Chang'an and take over the Tang Dynasty instead of the Li family.
"Okay, now let Dieluo Zhi be the vanguard and lead 30,000 troops to attack the border city." Jie Li said.
Zhi lost Si Li said: "No, Die Luo Zhi cannot be a vanguard. He is the son of the Khan. If something happens to him, it will affect the momentum of the army. Now we don't know the true strength of the Tang army, so we should not let Die Luo Zhi rashly."
Become a pioneer."
Jieli Khan immediately fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he said: "In that case, let Colon be the vanguard."
"Okay, originally the Khan was going to kill him, but this time it just happened to make him guilty and meritorious service." Zhi lost Si Li agreed.
So Jieli Khan asked Colon to be the vanguard.
Golun is the son of a tribal leader. Just a few days ago, he was discovered by Jieli Khan for neglecting his duties. Jieli Khan wanted to kill him to show military discipline.
Fortunately, his father used his family property to buy his life, otherwise he would be dead now.
In fact, the main reason was that Zhi lost his thinking power and told Jie Li that a war was imminent and there should be no more killings, thus saving his life.
"Colon, this Khan ordered you to be the vanguard and lead 30,000 troops to attack the border town."
"Yes, Khan, I will definitely not let Khan down."
Colon picked up his weapon, mounted his horse, and shouted: "Warriors, follow my vanguard and kill."
"Kill."
…
Border town, under the city wall.
After Li Wan came back, she said: "Everyone, prepare, the Turkic vanguard army is about to attack."
"Yes." All the cavalry responded immediately.
The five hundred soldiers in the firearms battalion at the front all laughed.
Yuchi Baolin said: "Sister, don't worry, no matter how many they come, we will make sure they never come back."
"Call me Li Xianfeng on the battlefield." Li Wan said solemnly.
"Okay, Li Xianfeng. Just watch the performance of our firearms camp." Yuchi Baolin said with a smile.
"They are here." Li Wan said calmly.
It was as if the Turkic vanguard ahead was nothing more than an ant in his eyes.
When Yuchi Baolin saw the billowing dust in front of him, his face instantly became solemn: "Everyone, please pay attention. Wait until the opponent gets close before shooting."
The five hundred musketeers raised their muskets in unison, and Li Wan couldn't help but sigh that the soldiers in the firearms battalion were well-trained.
However, what she doesn't know is that most of the soldiers in the firearms battalion are very nervous now, even though they think that the weapons in their hands can make them invincible.
But after all, this is also their first time on the battlefield, so nervousness is inevitable.
On the city wall, Cheng Yaojin and Su Dingfang watched the Turkic vanguard attack with telescopes.
"This Jieli is really grinding and grinding. It's not enough to just invade the border with the army. Why did you send a vanguard here and just order so many people? What if you scare them away later?" Su Dingfang said.
Cheng Yaojin curled his lips, you won't die if you don't brag. No matter what, there are 300,000 troops, plus millions of subordinates, one person can drown a thousand of you with just a spit of spit.
"Here they are. Lao Su can start firing. Let everyone see the power of your firearms battalion." Cheng Yaojin said.
Su Dingfang said: "Wait until they reach two hundred meters before firing."
"It's already two hundred meters away."
"fire."
As soon as Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Su Dingbang gave the order to fire.
"Boom boom boom..."
The artillery on the city wall fired in unison, and instantly twenty-five shells turned into twenty-five fireballs that exploded among the Turkic vanguard army.
Holding a telescope, Cheng Yaojin kept staring at the Turkic vanguard army without blinking.
I saw that the Turkic vanguard army, which was originally in charge formation, was completely blindsided by a round of artillery. Although many cavalry were not hit by the artillery, their mounts were frightened and threw them off their horses, causing the horses to run wildly.
These war horses also caused chaos in the Turkic vanguard army.
In particular, the war horses running behind scattered the Turkic infantry who were running desperately, causing chaos and causing many casualties.
"Boom boom boom..."
The artillery did not stop because the Turkic vanguard army was in chaos. They were still within the firing range. Stopping would mean letting more Turkic soldiers come to the front of the musketeers, which would put a lot of pressure on the musketeers.
The artillery fired continuously. Although this caused many casualties to the Turkic vanguard army, with a number of 30,000, the Turkic cavalry took the lead in getting out of the range of the artillery.
