Although I don’t know what Li Daoli can do to enable the unarmed soldiers to survive after the Turks break the camp, but since Li Daoli has taken the initiative to ask for military service, Li Shimin has no reason not to agree.
After all, on the battlefield, volunteering is not something you just talk about casually.
Since Li Daoli took the initiative to volunteer, if he failed later, Li Shimin would have enough reason to chop off his head to comfort the spirits of the soldiers.
Even if he is a member of the royal family, or a member of the royal family within three generations, Li Shimin will not be merciful when he chops him down.
After all, there is no joke in the military. Even if it is not explicitly stated that this is a military order, it is no different from a military order.
Since there is no difference, then it should be implemented in accordance with the rules of the military order.
After handing over the matter of confusing the Turks to Li Daoli and handing over the gains of Xie Shufang and others to Changsun Shunde for statistics, there was no major incident in the military camp for the time being.
Li Yuanji and Li Shimin returned to the Chinese army's tent.
The commotion outside the big tent returned to calm after half an hour.
An hour later, the Turks' second attack on the camp came. Just like the previous one, they only sent more than a thousand cavalry. After being blocked by Xie Shufang and others, they retreated again.
An hour later, when calm was restored in the camp, the Turks' third attack on the camp came.
Compared with the previous two attacks on the camp, the Turks who attacked the camp this time were obviously more ferocious and more numerous. There were more than 3,000 people, and many of them were soldiers.
You don't need to ask to know that these are the elites of the Turks, because among the Turks, only a very small number of elites are qualified to be equipped with a stomach.
Only a very small number of elites have access to armored stomachs and the qualifications to obtain armored stomachs as rewards from the chiefs of various tribes and the Khans who command the chiefs.
Their appearance completely broke through Xie Shufang's defense.
Of course, there are also factors that caused Xie Shufang to let things go.
Because Xie Shufang also had 3,000 soldiers in his hands, and he also knew that the Turks would come a third time, so if he had to fight with these 3,000 Turkic elites, these Turkic elites would not be able to break through the camp, let alone kill them.
In the camp.
Xie Shufang didn't want to let these Turks in, but he couldn't resist Li Shimin and ordered him to let the water go, so he could only withstand the most violent wave of attacks from the Turks' elites and kill hundreds of Turks, then pretended to be defeated and let the Turks go.
Enter camp.
Then the Turks began to wreak havoc in the camp and marched straight into the camp.
They saw the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were frightened by their arrival and fled in panic, and they also saw the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were awakened by their arrival.
The two people who ran away seemed to be of high status.
The two men, surrounded by many soldiers, escaped from the tent after their arrival and fled to the southeast corner of the camp in embarrassment.
They knew that these must be two noble people, and they were probably the commanders who commanded the Tang Dynasty troops in front of them. They wanted to catch these two people. As long as they could catch these two people, they would be able to end this war.
.鑏
However, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were frightened by them and fled in embarrassment quickly reacted. Before they arrived in front of the big tent with the square halberd hanging, a group of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty who seemed to be on patrol came to their senses.
The soldiers met them, and then more soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who seemed to be patrolling also came up.
Soon, they were defeated under the attack of these Tang soldiers.
Seeing that there was nothing that could be done, the leader could only give a loud shout of reluctance, then fight and retreat, and exited the Tang Dynasty's camp.
Li Yuanji stood on a lookout in the southeast corner of the camp. After watching all the Turks retreat, he asked Li Shimin helplessly, "Can I wear thicker clothes now?"
Li Shimin said nothing, but waved to the guards following him, who hurriedly presented him with a thick fur.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Shimin, and quickly asked someone to prepare a thick fur for him. After putting it on, he said angrily to Li Shimin: "It seems we don't need to do this, right? Don't you think this is fake?
Maybe the Turks didn't see the flaw in the northwest corner of the camp, but instead saw the flaw in you and me?"
When the Turks attacked the camp for the third time, Li Shimin made a suggestion that made Li Yuanji speechless and crazy.
That is to ask him and him not to wear outer clothes, but to put on a piece of obscene clothing, and look like running away in embarrassment, so that the Turks mistakenly think that the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are two courageous bandits, which is very shameless.
Use the guy.
Li Yuanji always felt that it was useless to do this, because if the Turks were not stupid, and if the Turks' scouts and some eyes and ears were not deaf and blind, they would have found out that this army was led by someone from the Tang Dynasty.
If the Turks' ears, eyes and spies were not deaf and blind, they would surely have known how capable the leader of this army was.
Therefore, running around in a panic to confuse the Turks under such circumstances would always be a bit self-defeating.
But Li Shimin insisted on doing this, and immediately stripped himself down to his obscene clothes, so Li Yuanji could only accompany him.
There is nothing we can do if we don't accompany him. Who makes Li Shimin the actual commander-in-chief here now?
Attacking Li Shimin's prestige will not be good for Li Shimin, nor will it be good for the soldiers here, nor will it be good for Datang. 鑏
Whether it is a matter of issuing many orders, or the commander has no real power or prestige, it is easy for the soldiers to think too much.
When the soldiers thought too much, they became less determined, and when they started fighting, they naturally became less desperate.
Once the casualties are too large, the morale of the army will definitely be weakened.
At this time, especially in this kind of war that is related to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty for many years, the soldiers must put all their efforts into fighting, and they must fight for victory wholeheartedly. There must not be any signs of losing morale, otherwise it will be over.
Therefore, when it comes to maintaining Li Shimin's prestige, even if Li Shimin's decision is wrong, as long as Li Shimin has no evil intentions or resorts to some small tricks, Li Yuanji has to do it even if he doesn't agree with it in his heart. He has no other choice.
.
Facing Li Yuanji's doubts, Li Shimin said contemptuously: "What do you know? If that man named Toluo really takes us seriously and treats us as an enemy, then he can't treat us like this.
Since Jieli trusted him and appointed him as Sushba, it shows that he still has merit in military strategy.
If that's the case, then why didn't he send people to raid us when we left Maling City, or sneak attack us, but instead started raiding us again and again here?
Do you really think that we are so weak that we can let him attack us again and again without taking any precautions or even fighting back?
It's not because he doesn't take us seriously and doesn't pay attention to us.
Under such circumstances, if we stayed in the Chinese army's tent, it would arouse his suspicion.
The first time we were attacked at the camp, we abandoned the army and ran away, which was actually what he wanted."
Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin in astonishment and said: "Even if Toluo is not interested in world affairs, he has always heard of your name, King Qin Li Shimin, right? How dare he take you seriously?"
Li Shimin's current achievements are enough to make him shine in the annals of history, enough to be noticed by anyone related to soldiers and horses in the world.
It is simply impossible to say that Toluo has never heard of Li Shimin's name and does not know Li Shimin's achievements.
Under such circumstances, how could Toluo despise Li Shimin, and how could he dare to despise Li Shimin?
Not to mention Toluo, even Jieli and Tuli had to frown when facing Li Shimin.
Therefore, Toluo despised Li Shimin and did not take Li Shimin seriously, which is completely contrary to common sense.
Li Shimin smiled contemptuously and said: "Of course they won't take me seriously, they just don't take you seriously."
Li Yuanji looked surprised. After thinking for a moment, he understood the meaning of Li Shimin's words.
In the eyes of most people in the Tang Dynasty, and in the eyes of everyone in the Turks, Li Shimin has been imprisoned in the palace since the coup failed.
As a victor, after imprisoning Li Shimin, it was impossible for him to release Li Shimin, let alone to let Li Shimin, a man with considerable military talents, return to command the army.
So don't say that the Turks don't know that the actual commander of the Tang army is Li Shimin. Even if they know, they may not believe it.
Because they would stubbornly believe that he would never let someone like Li Shimin out, let alone lead an army, and would only keep him trapped in the palace for the rest of his life.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Turks, he is the commander-in-chief of the Tang army.
Therefore, the Turks, to be precise, the man named Toluo, despised not Li Shimin, but him.
This makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Everything he did in the two years after time travel restored his image in the eyes of the Tang people, but not his image in the eyes of the Turks.
In the eyes of the Turks, he was still the same His Highness the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty who was beaten by Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang in Bingzhou.
but……
This isn't right either.
When he was at Weize Pass before, he had a real fight with the Turks, and he faced the Turks' great and small khans.
Even if the Turks despised him because of the fact that he was beaten by Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, after experiencing the battle at Wezeguan, they should know that he was not the idiot he was rumored to be, and that he was still somewhat capable.
Why do you still despise him?
"Am I so unworthy in the eyes of the Turks? I beheaded the Turk Khan's head at Weize Pass. How dare they despise me?" Kuan
Li Yuanji asked unhappily.
Although it was a good thing to be looked down upon and despised by the Turks at this time, he could not be happy at all.
Why do you look down on people so much?
Li Shimin chuckled and said: "You just beheaded the wolf's head of the Turkic Khan, and you used a cunning trick. It's not like you defeated Jieli and Tuli in an upright manner. You chopped off the wolf's head in front of them. Why should people pay attention to you?"
?
You repelled Jieli and Tuli at Weize Pass, but it was also because Liu Heita was killed and failed to form a two-sided attack with the Turks. There was another conflict between Jieli and Tuli, so Jieli had to withdraw his troops.
It’s not like you really defeated Jieli and forced Jieli to admit defeat to you and withdraw his troops, why should people pay attention to you?"
