The battle raged for most of the day, and it was almost dusk.
After the cavalry, the Tang Army's infantry also arrived one after another. The heavy and huge chariots could not be brought over for a while, and they only brought a large number of anti-horse rifles. At the same time, Li Qianyou collected a large number of horses from the battlefield, and Qi Lao Sanjiang had already burned them. Prepared red bricks and various camping materials were continuously transported.
The Turks obviously also saw through the Tang army's plan. This place is very close to Baiquan County. If they build a camp and extend it to the west, they can form a corner with Baiquan County. They may even be directly connected to Baiquan County and completely seal it off. The dead end.
There is more than one road on the border between Yuanzhou and Jingzhou, and there is even a waterway, but this is the only road that can accommodate a large number of cavalry to pass quickly.
"Are the Turks still unwilling to retreat?" Dou Gui was a little surprised. After such a huge defeat, the Tang army did not pursue it, but stayed close to the mountain. Troops continued to come. The Turks had no reason to continue the war.
Li Shan was also a little surprised. Ashina Sheerna couldn't bear this tone, but even if he couldn't bear it, he still had to beware of Tuli Khan even if his vitality was severely damaged.
As for Tuli Khan, shouldn't he turn his target to Ashina Sheer? Is it possible that he should try hard to see if he will suffer a bloody blow?
Although they were surprised, the Tang army, under the command of Zhang Shigui and Qian Jiulong, began to arrange defenses. The infantry carried horse guns and extended outwards. Feng Li and Xue Wanche led the cavalry to protect them on both wings. The civilians and some infantry began to build camps.
From time to time, small groups of Turkic cavalry would attack, coming and going. Dou Gui simply asked the civilians to stack a large number of red bricks outward to form a barrier, ranging in length from several meters to tens of meters, and use crossbowmen to lay on the bricks. After the stone was removed, Kan Leng was sent to lead hundreds of Mo swordsmen scattered behind the formation.
On a slightly higher hill, Li Shan watched for a while and said with a smile: "When it comes to setting up formations, Duke Fou is better than Guduo, and Brother Dingfang is not as good as him."
Dou Gui was Dou Kang's cousin. His father was Dou Gong, the former Duke of Sui Dynasty. His uncle Dou Wei was the first Zhongshu Ling after the founding of Li Tang, but he had died of illness several years ago.
Li Shan clicked his tongue twice and nodded in agreement. Li Tang was only a few years old, and among the children of the aristocratic families, the Fufeng Dou family had the most people, no other family could compare with him.
"What?"
The people below could not see clearly, but Li Shan and Li Qianyou could see clearly on the hill. Hundreds of Turkic cavalry charged into the formation with bows and arrows. Only after they entered did they realize that the Tang army had formed a red brick fortification. There was not only one line of defense, but twos and threes, and the front and rear were messy. This resulted in the cavalry's space for movement... not being very small, but not at all.
It was basically a total annihilation, but Li Shan frowned and was hesitant. After such a huge defeat, he actually wanted to counterattack. Moreover, it was not just a simple test, but he had already entered the formation... It was really Ashina· Society?
Li Shan felt something strange, something must have happened... This question was finally solved after Zhang Baoxiang and his army arrived.
He saw with his own eyes that man marching hard, beating the drum and running wildly, he saw the whole army rushing like thunder, he saw with his own eyes the Turks were destroyed as easily as waves... I originally thought that this battle might not be able to get any benefits, but Li Dewu had no idea at all. I thought that after ten days of stalemate, the enemy was defeated so quickly.
"you again!"
The Turks have not yet retreated, and other generals have already taken up their positions. Even Wang Junhao has been added to the cavalry as Xue Wanche's deputy. Li Shan is only accompanied by Li Qianyou, the commander of Chang'an who has just arrived. After hearing this, he nodded and said: "Fufeng Dou family, several generations of All of them are heroes, talented in literature, martial arts, and martial arts, and each has his or her own merits."
The Tang soldiers on both sides raised their large shields to block the retreat, and the crossbowmen fired arrows to block the reinforcements. The Tang cavalry on both sides slowly accelerated to threaten them. Hundreds of swordsmen flashed out from behind the red bricks, chopping melons and vegetables as easily as they could.
This destroyed all the efforts of the Turkic soldiers.
A burst of noise suddenly occurred to his ears, followed by the sound of horse hooves and the sound of fighting. Li Dewu turned his head and looked around. He could not see clearly due to the smoke and dust in the distance. A large number of people were hesitant, but soon, Gao Gao
The cry resounded throughout the world, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty celebrated another victory with their swords and shields, and the sound of gold and iron intersecting.
But Dou Gui used red bricks ingeniously, and the effect was very good. On the one hand, it gave the infantry strong protection. The Turkic cavalry could not directly break the formation. They could not let the horses hit the wall. On the other hand, it also made the Turks very vulnerable.
It is difficult to judge the number of infantry of the Tang army and find its weaknesses.
Dou Yan, the next generation, is now General Zuo Wuhou, and he is also fighting with the army this time. Dou Jing is Shi, the governor of Bingzhou, and is the deputy of Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng. He is currently working in Taiyuan, and Dou Dan is appointed as Taichang Qing and Imperial Academy.
Dou Cong, who was at odds with Li Shimin, was Zongzheng Shaoqing.
What is most difficult for Li Dewu to accept is that he, the father, is below, while the son, the son, is standing high on the hill... Regret, jealousy, indignation and various emotions are biting Li Dewu's heart like poisonous snakes.
Among the busy crowd at the foot of the hill, a handsome middle-aged man was directing the civilians. From time to time, he looked up at the hill with indescribable complex emotions in his eyes... In the past, he had been listening to the good news again and again in Chang'an City.
, and this time, I witnessed it with my own eyes in the military.
When using infantry to restrict cavalry, the blockade of space is always the most important. In the current situation, the usual method is to use small teams composed of sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen to penetrate diagonally into the inner line to restrict the activities of the Turkic cavalry.
space.
Dou Kang and Dou Jing both participated in the Qianshuiyuan and Luoyang Hulao battles with Li Shimin. Dou Kang was also in charge of the Beiya Imperial Army for a long time. Dou Jing once served as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and is now the governor of Yizhou.
In this battle, Ashina Sheer all escaped. The Turks who had not yet fled to Yuanzhou either died or surrendered. Only a few Turks fled into the dense forest and stayed behind.
Zhang Baoxiang of the army captured Tuli Khan alive.
Li Shan was speechless. What is the origin of Zhang Baoxiang?
Everyone said that he was the nemesis of the Turks, Jieli Khan and his son, and Ashina She'er were defeated by him successively, but Li Shan felt that Zhang Baoxiang was Ashina's nemesis, and he was born that way!
Not to mention Zhang Baoxiang's capture of Jieli Khan in history, but in this life, in the battle of Guji Town, after the Turkic battle array on the east side collapsed, so many small groups of Turks collapsed, Zhang Baoxiang just happened to bite Jieli Khan, and finally directly
As a result, it was difficult for Jieli Khan to gather his troops and hoist the Khan flag, leading to a complete defeat.
What kind of bullshit luck is this!
Li Shan coughed twice, "Didn't my brother leave first?"
I had always felt that there was bound to be chaos in Wuyuan County. That was because Li Shan knew through Su Dingfang that Tuli Khan fled earlier than Ashina Sheer.
The livid-faced Tuli Khan did not say a word. Zhang Baoxiang on the side whispered: "The general asked a few prisoners who were held hostage by the rebels in the valley... At that time, the soldiers of the king's tent under Dubu Khan trampled on their horses..."
"Brother... this is too unlucky." Li Shan couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhang Baoxiang's explanation, "Ashina She'er... is not a son of man!"
