Li Yuan must have been more than one person who secretly colluded with the Turks, thinking that he could use the Turks' military power when competing in the world, but this kind of thing must not be exposed, otherwise it will become infamous.
Now that the Turks were being beaten so miserably, Li Shimin asked himself that his father's original plan of borrowing the Turks' military power was no longer possible, but it had been done, and now that Shibi Khan had escaped back to his lair deep in the grassland, what if this was done?
When the incident came out, it would have a big impact on the reputation of the Duke of Tang in the world, so Li Shimin thought that it would be best to kill Shibi Khan in today's battle.
In the dark night, Li Shimin did not know where the Turkic leader Khan was for a while. He led a team of elites and turned around to find the suspected big bosses and generals among the Turks to fight with.
At this time, he discovered a Turkic helmet decorated with two fox tails, and knew that this was a big Turkic leader. Moreover, this man was only over seven feet tall, but his shoulders were four feet wide, and he had a pair of naked eyeballs.
, looks very extraordinary, leading a group of Turkic warriors to kill the Sui army everywhere.
"Ah...Ouch!" the Turkic leader howled loudly, and at the same time hit the leather shield with his scimitar, making a thumping sound.
Li Shimin had a murderous intention and gave an order. When this man led the Turkic warriors to beat the drums and rush forward quickly, hundreds of county soldiers under his command stabbed them with spears. A dozen Turks were suddenly stabbed in the chest by long spears, and they were furious on the spot.
Jue. The remaining ones used their swords to push the front of the sword, howling, and threw themselves into the Taiyuan County soldiers.
Long spears stabbed from all sides, stabbing a dozen Turkic warriors who rushed too fast into a hornet's nest. Blood splattered in all directions with a hissing sound.
At the same time, there was a gap in the formation of Taiyuan County soldiers. A dozen strong Turkic warriors swung their swords in the gap, slashing out several waves of blood.
"Keep the formation, the first row retreats, the second row moves forward!"
Li Shimin was extremely talented in battlefield commanding and had a very accurate vision. He immediately shouted and reminded his subordinates to pay attention to their cooperation with each other.
Li Shimin himself was protected by the masters of the soldiers around him, and the rifle in his hand moved around like a black dragon, turning the Turkic warriors who rushed in into corpses one by one and picking them out. But more and more Turks came running over.
.
Moreover, the Turks seemed to have discovered that he was the commander-in-chief of the Sui army. They risked their lives one by one, and within a few breaths, they actually forced the Taiyuan County soldiers to retreat more than ten steps.
The Turkic leader who was targeted by Li Shimin shouted loudly, and the scimitars and leather shields in the hands of several soldiers around him kept beating each other, like a war drum, adjusting the morale and attack rhythm of his subordinates.
Li Shimin's eyes were attracted by the actions of the Turkic leader. With a murderous look on his face, he took a long spear from the hands of the soldiers beside him, shouted loudly, and then waved with one hand, using the eight-foot-long spear as a throwing spear.
Throw it out.
Although Li Shimin did not have the same magical power as Li Xuanba, he was extremely talented in martial arts and had considerable strength. With all his strength, the long spear roared angrily in the air. The Turkic leader who was shouting to his feet heard his soldiers.
He screamed in surprise and quickly raised his shield to save himself.
The sharp edge hit the shield, tearing the thick rawhide like paper, and then continued forward, pressing against the arm of the Turkic leader, stabbing him in the chest, penetrating both layers of leather armor, flesh, and ribs.
, his back pushed him down and nailed him to the ground.
"Ah..." The Turkic leader's cry suddenly stopped. With a face full of disbelief, he held the stem that had pierced his body with both hands and struggled desperately. Black blood flowed down his mouth, nostrils and ears.
It gurgled out, dyeing the dead branches and leaves around it red.
Killing a Turkic leader with a snap of his fingers greatly damaged the morale of this group of Turkic soldiers. Taking advantage of the disruption in the rhythm of the Turks' attack, Li Shimin shouted loudly and led his subordinates to charge out.
Under the leadership of Li Shimin, the soldiers of Taiyuan County performed extremely bravely, but the Turkic army was beaten back steadily after losing its leader.
Li Shimin waved his horses and horses while ordering his men and horses to maintain a good formation. Nearly a hundred Turkic warriors retreated a little slower. Taiyuan County soldiers lined up in a neat square formation and squeezed past them. They raised their swords and spears at the same time and instantly turned them into pieces.
.
This style of play was secretly learned by Li Shimin when he was killing enemies in the Far Eastern Army's Tornado Battalion infantry formation on the battlefield a few days ago. He has led people to study and test it in private these days. Although he has not completely mastered the essentials, he has learned a few tricks.
It has become the essence. After trying it now, it is indeed extremely powerful.
It's just that the Taiyuan County soldiers have not experienced the strict formation training of the Far Eastern Army. It is not easy to maintain a neat formation on the battlefield, or even impossible at all.
There were still a lot of Turkic troops, so before the Taiyuan County soldiers could cheer for their partial victory, another tribal leader led a group of Turkic troops to support this side. They fought desperately against the slope and were quickly blocked.
The charging momentum of Taiyuan County soldiers led by Li Shimin.
At this time, both sides had completely given up their war horses and relied entirely on their own skills and courage. The battlefield was a complete melee. Li Shimin originally tried to imitate the Far Eastern Army and always kept his troops in a combative formation, but found that it was very difficult to
It was difficult to do, and it soon fell into a melee.
As time went by, the wildfires in the valley below became more and more intense, and many large trees with fallen leaves also burned.
The night wind blew, and the smoke was so thick that it was almost impossible to breathe. If we did not seize the time to form a breakthrough, all the Turks would be burned alive or smoked to death in this valley.
"The Golden Wolf Guards left 20,000 people, and the other 20,000 were sent to each side with 10,000 to cover the tribes opening the way in front and kill all the Sui people who blocked the road on both sides!" Shibi Khan had no choice but to go out and implement the Khan's authority himself.
The ultimate reliance is on strength.
For more than a hundred years, the Ashina family has always been the royal family of the Turks. The main reason is that they have always controlled the Golden Wolf Guards, and the Golden Wolf Guards are warriors selected from various tribes. They are the strongest in riding and shooting, and the most powerful on the battlefield.
Brave, they have always been able to outnumber ten on the battlefield.
The Golden Wolf Guard is rarely used on weekdays. In fact, when the Turkic Khan uses the Golden Wolf Guard, it has actually reached an extremely important or critical moment.
Now was the critical moment. At the critical moment, Khan knew that even if he escaped to his lair on the grassland, if the Golden Wolf Guards suffered heavy losses, his position would be further shaken, but he still had to dispatch 20,000 Golden Wolf Guards.
Twenty thousand Golden Wolf Guards rushed to the entrance of the valley, and ten thousand each fought up from the hillsides on both sides. They even cut a bloody path through the chaos of their own defeated troops. Their combat power was indeed much stronger than ordinary Turkic warriors.
The Sui troops on both sides were immediately killed and retreated steadily, and soon no arrows could be shot down, threatening the Turks who were clearing the exit at the mouth of the valley.
Soon, most of the stones at the entrance of the valley were cleared away, and after a while, the Turkic army could evacuate from this valley, which can be called the Valley of Death.
