If the Turks confront each other, it will be a nightmare.
Li Yuanji was not stupid enough to ask Li Shimin why he placed the Long Sword Army in the left formation instead of in front of the formation.
Since Li Shimin said this, there must be a way to curb the momentum of the Turks' first charge and then send the Turks to their sword array for them to kill.
"I have dispersed the Long Sword Army to each of the Twelve Guards. There are currently less than two hundred Long Sword Army here."
What Li Yuanji was worried about was whether the two hundred long sword army could have a big effect.
After all, there were more than 10,000 Turks. Even if the momentum of the first round of charge was suppressed, scattered, cut, and began to disperse in both directions, the long sword army with only 200 people was still not capable.
coping.
Li Shimin glanced at him and said, "Then let your Paidao generals go with you."
Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Shimin said inscrutably: "If you are worried, you can go together. I know your ability. With you guarding the left wing, let alone coming from the strength department, even if
If Jieli comes with his own army, he will be killed by you."
Li Yuanji suddenly felt a toothache when he heard Li Shimin's sincere compliment.
The stubborn Li Shimin began to reveal his true nature after he was appointed as the general manager of this war in a bad taste.
Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, no one is allowed to question any decision made, and anyone who questions will be venomous.
He wanted to retort, but he couldn't find an excuse to do so.
There is no way, the dog is really capable, confident, conceited, and arrogant.
It's such a crazy period at this time, I guess even Li Jing will have to sing about conquest when he comes.
"Why, are you scared?"
Li Jiancheng asked gloatingly from the sidelines.
The look of amusement on his face was exactly the same as when he learned that the Turkic troops were rushing towards him.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Jiancheng and said in a nonchalant manner: "Your methods of provoking generals are of no use to me. Don't worry, I will take you with me even if I have to go into battle myself.
Even if I am going to die in battle, I will send you down to see your grandfather first."
The expression on Li Jiancheng's face suddenly froze, and then he glared at Li Yuanji fiercely.
"Okay, the Turks should have arrived."
Li Shimin suddenly spoke at this time.
Then, a slight vibration began to come from a distance, and then became more and more intense, and finally became a roar like a raging river.
Deafening.
It caused the earth to constantly shake.
“What a spectacle!”
Li Jiancheng put away his bickering and fully appreciated the scene of thousands of horses galloping when the Turks attacked, and sighed subconsciously.
Li Shimin curled his lips disdainfully and said: "What's the use of being spectacular? In a battle on the battlefield, it's not about who is more spectacular than the other, but about who can kill whom."
Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shimin and snorted, saying dissatisfiedly: "What a disgrace to the scenery!"
Li Shimin slowly concentrated and said in a serious tone: "This is not a scenery, this is a battlefield, a battlefield where many people will die!"
After saying this, without waiting for Li Jiancheng to speak, he decisively ordered the flag officer beside him, "Beat the drums! Put up the flags! Form an array!"
The flag officer looked solemn and quickly conveyed Li Shimin's order.
Afterwards, flags were erected one after another, flag officers everywhere began to wave the small flags in their hands, and the giant drums set up in the formation were also beaten by strong men.
The sound of the drums ranges from light to heavy, from slow to fast.
When the soldiers and horses of the Turkic Troops rushed to the front of the formation, the sound of drums had already become dense and continuous, and the hands of the warriors who beat the drums also turned into hot wheels.
When Ye Huzheda, who was in the strength department, approached the Tang Dynasty military formation, he saw clearly the lineup of the Tang Dynasty military formation and the ordnance and armor equipped by the Tang Dynasty military formation, and realized that he had hit an iron plate.
Although he underestimated the enemy this time due to habit, it did not mean that he did not have the vision to distinguish between strong and weak.
On the contrary, he is one of the few discerning people in the military who can distinguish the strength of an army.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The tribesmen under his command have formed a momentum and cannot stop the brakes.
So even if he knew that the Tang army in front of him was a strong army, he could only fight in one battle.
Because, after the cavalry formed a momentum, there was no such thing as stopping or retreating.
If you stop, you will easily be rushed by the cavalry behind you who have no time to restrain the momentum, and then be trampled into a pulp by thousands of troops.
It is difficult to retreat or stop. How to retreat?
The only thing that can be done is to rush down bravely, and after encountering enemy obstacles and stopping the momentum, disperse and retreat from both sides.
Other than that, there is no other way.
"Iron pear!"
When the advanced troops who were marching forward rushed to the front of the formation, the captain in charge of the sword cart shouted loudly.
A group of soldiers guarding the sword cart decisively threw the iron pear.
One by one, the four-pronged iron pear was thrown out like a goddess scattering flowers.
After throwing away the iron pear, the soldiers decisively fixed the sword cart and retreated behind the sword, shield and spear soldiers.
Whether it is a sword cart or an iron pear, after being faced with a cavalry charge, it is a kind of weapon that does not require anyone to handle it. It only needs to be thrown on the battlefield to dodge the enemy.
There is no need to stay on the battlefield and make fearless sacrifices.
Anyway, the cavalry could not stop after forming a momentum.
So whether there is anyone to control it, the cavalry will hit the sword cart while stepping on the iron pear.
"Peng!"
The Tatsuki cavalry who was the first to rush to the formation fell to the ground before they even got close to the carriage. The war horse dragged the Turkic cavalry on horseback and slid forward for several feet before stopping, and then hit him hard.
On the knife cart, he was stabbed into a bloody gourd by the sharp knife on the knife cart.
Then one after another, the horses fell down, and the cavalrymen fell off the horses and were stabbed to death by swords and chariots.
Only after the three or four columns of Turkic cavalry rushing in the front were injured by iron pear and hit the sword cart, the first row of the sword cart was broken through.
The whole scene looked like a group of people riding horses and ramming into a knife cart, committing suicide.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is tragic and bloody.
But not stupid at all.
Because when the cavalry charges up, especially when there are more cavalry following behind them, crashing into the cart and dying is the most direct and cleanest way to die.
Once the horse stops, it will be trampled to pieces.
By then not even a complete corpse would be found.
Death is inevitable anyway, and dying on the road of charge, being a stepping stone for the people, is far more valuable and meaningful than dying under the trampling of one's own people.
People from the Central Plains know how to sacrifice their lives and sacrifice themselves, and so do the people in the grassland.
It's just that the objects of allegiance and the goals that need to be achieved are different.
People in the Central Plains risked their lives and sacrificed their lives, maybe for money, maybe for high official status, or maybe to protect their families and the court.
Prairie people risk their lives and sacrifice themselves, maybe for the sake of their ethnic group, maybe out of helplessness, or maybe to get a lot of spoils after the war.
Compared with the Central Plains people, the grassland people are more fearless in their willingness to sacrifice their lives.
Because they do not have a permanent culture, not even a permanent writing system, the principles and knowledge they can learn are all passed down orally.
Things mixed with the private goods of wise people and those in power can be easily instilled into their minds.
Some things with strong religious overtones can easily dominate their thoughts.
Therefore, in their eyes, death is not terrible. What is terrible is that after death, one is not accepted by their gods or the lofty Buddhas.
Some people may think this is incredible, but it is the reality.
In order to be accepted by the gods and Buddhas they believe in, to gain the reputation of some illusory warriors, and to become warriors recognized by those in power, they can do a lot.
They can become demons who commit murder and set fire, or they can become fanatic believers who dedicate themselves, their wives and daughters, and everything else.
It is common practice on the grasslands to dedicate one's own flesh and blood, as well as the flesh and blood of his wife and children, to gods and Buddhas.
Most prairie people regard this as an infinitely glorious thing.
These things also existed in some ignorant and backward places in the Tang Dynasty, but they were not as common or as rampant on the grasslands.
Ever since Ximen Bao gave the Goddess to He Bo as his wife, the powerful people in the Central Plains have begun to restrain the rampage of theocracy, and they have been doing something to eliminate the obscene temples and wild sacrifices.
Even in the Tang Dynasty, a large number of madmen emerged who opposed gods and Buddhas.
Taishi Ling Fu Yi was the best among the madmen.
From time to time, he wrote letters asking Li Yuan to destroy the Buddha.
In the middle of the year, Fu Yi wrote another memorial, still calling for the extermination of Buddhism, and listed many evil deeds of Buddhism and the benefits of exterminating Buddhism.
Some eminent monks in the Buddhist sect were frightened and frequently sent messages to the palace through their connections, and even made false ambitions to spend all their Buddhist sect's assets to save homeless children in the Tang Dynasty.
That is to say, Li Yuanji had just come to power, and he did not want to conflict with Buddhism again before the Tang Dynasty had completely settled down and before Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's old subordinates were completely appeased.
Otherwise, I have to have a good chat with Fu Yi anyway.
After all, if you count all the famous mountains and rivers in later generations, there is not a temple on them or a tower beside them.
The most common among all scenic spots are Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, and pagodas.
Those towering and intimidating Buddhas are everywhere.
People often say that Qin Shihuang, who spent hundreds of thousands of people building the Great Wall, was a tyrant, but the Great Wall has been used by all dynasties, and many dynasties regard the Great Wall as their greatest defense against foreign enemies.
The temples built by Buddhism are far more than the 480 temples, and the Buddhas are far more manpower and material resources than the construction of the Great Wall. They have attracted countless people's praise and fascination.
But what’s the use to this country and this country?
It has no use except wasting people and money and polluting the purity of famous mountains and rivers.
That is to say, there were Ximen Leopards in the Central Plains, and Fu Yi, a fanatic who did not believe in gods and Buddhas, restrained them, which prevented the development of gods and Buddhas from becoming more rampant.
Otherwise, everything the grassland people face is what the Central Plains people face.
That is to say, there are no Ximen Leopards in the grassland, and the restraint of madmen like Fu Yi who do not believe in gods and Buddhas has made gods and Buddhas popular in the grasslands.
Finally, thousands of years later, the gods and Buddhas remained, but the Xiongnu, Turks and other ethnic groups that had flourished on the grassland all disappeared.
If there were figures like Ximen Leopard and Fu Yi on the grassland, and if the wise men on the grassland were willing to spare no effort to develop the culture of the grassland and work hard for the inheritance of the culture of the grassland.
Maybe the grassland will become another Central Plains.
It's a pity that there is no such thing on the grassland, and the wise men have no intention to develop the culture on the grassland and make efforts to inherit the culture on the grassland. They want to be above other people, to enslave other people, and to make other people become
More ignorant to facilitate their control.
This also caused some people to shout that the Hulu had no luck for a hundred years.
This may seem arrogant and arrogant, but it is indeed true.
Without culture and cultural inheritance, how can you unite people's hearts and establish a foundation for a country?
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties also chose to use the Central Plains culture as their foundation and inheritance to establish themselves on the land of the Central Plains after the merger of the Manchu and Han Dynasties.
If they insist on following their way outside the customs, the Tiandihui may not be the only ones to rebel.
The kingdom may be passed down to old man Shiquan and then be lost.
There is also a possibility that it will not be passed down to old man Shiquan.
Therefore, it is a very lucky thing to be born as a human being and to be born in the Central Plains.
"You still have some brains... March on!"
Just when Li Yuanji was thinking about running for the train, the Turks finally broke through three rows of sword carts and two rows of shields through repeated attacks.
The momentum of the Turks' charge also slowed down.
The Turks were also unable to charge.
Because the Turkic cavalry who fell in front of the sword cart and shield array had piled up into a wall of flesh.
Unless the Turks turned around and charged again with the same momentum as before, they would not be able to get past this wall of flesh.
The Turks are not that stupid. It is impossible for them to charge intact without breaking through the Tang army's formation despite so much damage.
After the momentum of the charge was controlled, Ye Huzada, who was on the strength team, chose to retreat with almost no reason.
The Turkic army took the head of Tang Dynasty's lost front formation as the dividing line and began to rush towards both sides.
After Li Shimin praised Zheda, he decisively ordered the entire army to press forward.
Under the command of flags and drums, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rushed towards the Turks with their eyes shining brightly.
To them, this kind of military exploits delivered to their doorsteps is like money delivered to their doorsteps. How could they let it go?
When the Turks were the first to rush forward, they shot the Turks off their horses with one shot, cut off their ears with the tip of their spears, raised them up and shouted, "A certain family has gained a few more acres of land."
'after.
The soldiers all went crazy and pounced on the Turks like wolves.
The Tang Dynasty was never stingy when it came to rewards of money, grain, and titles.
So every soldier knew what each head they chopped off meant.
That is to say, killing prisoners would harm Tianhe, and the army had express orders not to kill prisoners on the battlefield. Otherwise, in a big war, especially one that the Tang Dynasty could win, no one from the enemy would survive.
Of course, if the leader is willing to take the blame for the soldiers and issue an order to take no prisoners, the soldiers will be happy to carry it out.
