Chapter 283 Brilliant Victory
Just when Su Dingfang was confused, Luo Shixin was nervous and commanding the soldiers to deal with resistance... Various key and different commands were issued from his orders, commanding 20,000 soldiers to adopt the best response method according to different situations.
Under the current circumstances, the disadvantages in military strength can only be compensated by tactics.
How could Luo Shixin not know what Su Dingfang thought?
However, when the troops are completely at a disadvantage and there are no defensive facilities, they cannot defend themselves, and instead fall into a tactical passiveness.
What's more, he is not good at defense personally. Instead of fighting this battle in a field he is not good at, it is better to attack. Using attack instead of defense is also a kind of tactic, and there is still a chance to win in the offense.
While commanding the army, Luo Shixin paid attention to the climate and looked up at the sky from time to time.
Before noon, Luo Shixin was able to maintain the upper hand with his outstanding command, but in the afternoon, Luo Shixin was under significant pressure.
After a full fierce battle for a whole morning, Luo Shixin could only use 20,000 soldiers. Twenty thousand were constantly fighting, losing, losing physical strength bit by bit, and his combat power was gradually decreasing.
The Turkic soldiers were different. They were divided into five teams of troops to take turns to rest and always maintained a certain combat power. As for consumption, not to mention, they had a total of 150,000 troops, with a completely consumed posture and a tactic of fighting for consumption.
During this afternoon, Luo Shixin's advantage no longer exists, and his offense and defense gradually remained equal.
Half an hour later, Luo Shixin's Tianjie Army was already at a disadvantage.
An hour later, Luo Shixin's military power was shaking. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang even needed him to go into battle personally, forcibly repel the enemy, stabilize the formation, and forcefully move the disadvantage back.
One and a half hours later, Luo Shixin's military situation unexpectedly stabilized, and he once again recovered his disadvantage with his exhausted troops.
Two hours later, the advantage returned to Luo Shixin's hands little by little.
Stalemate. Consumption!
Stalemate, consumption!
Stalemate, consumption!
The war has reached this point. Only a few people can maintain the tranquility!
Except for Jie Li, the great khan of the Turks, each of them personally went to the battle. At this moment, they were all as tired as dogs, lying on the ground, panting heavily.
Jie Li's brows shrank and tightened, even a little confused.
This battle started from the early morning hours of Chen and now it was three hours of Shen, and it took nearly four hours and eight hours.
At this moment, at least half of the Tang army on the other side suffered casualties, and they paid more than twice the price, but they were unable to win for a while and were gradually suppressed by them. What is this situation?
With his mouth and tongue dry, I felt my throat burning like fire, and I couldn't help but shake it in my mouth and poured it into my mouth, without a drop of water.
"Get water..." Jie Li threw the wine pot to the guard beside him in annoyance.
The guard beside him didn't react at all and directly let the wine pot hit him, but the guard fell directly from the horse's back to the ground.
Looking at the motionless guards on the ground, Jie Li suddenly realized it and hurriedly looked left and right. He saw Turkic soldiers lying on the ground like dead dogs to rest. The leather armor on their bodies was pulled aside, almost sticking out their tongues to the side to breathe.
"Luo Shixin, I, Jie Li, will never end with you in this life."
Jie Li was about to cry at this moment. Seeing that the task was completed, he was too eager to defeat the enemy in front of him, and then went to Phoenix Valley to take Li Yuan's life and push the Tang Dynasty into the fire pit. And he was once again able to overwhelm the Central Plains and become the king of the grassland and the Central Plains.
The benefits were too generous, so he ignored the soldiers' physical strength.
In fact, he did not ignore the soldiers' physical strength, but Luo Shixin's move was too insidious, and he did not realize it at all.
He ignored the damn weather and the common sense that the sun rises and sets from the east and the west.
Luo Shixin formed a formation and forced them to fight, so that they ran a hundred miles and immediately entered the battle.
The Turks were extremely physically unbearable, but now it is the late summer season, and the sun is as terrible as ever. The Tianjie Army relies on the Dapan Mountain to set up its formation in the west. When the sun rises from the east, the two armies are treated the same. Even the Turks took advantage of it. Because of the sun shining west, the sunlight directly shot the eyes of the Tianjie Army. However, after noon, the sun was in the sky, and the situation was different. The peak of Dapan Mountain was steep, covering Luo Shixin's army formation, becoming a place to cool down and shade, eliminating the crisis of exposure. When they faced Dapan Mountain, the scorching sunlight not only shot at their eyes, but also roasted the camp where they were.
They had rotational rest, which was exhausted when they were fighting on the front line, and then retreated and retreated to the sun to rest.
This is even more miserable than not resting.
The Turkic soldiers were not physically strong, and they had to burn for a day in the sun and had to go through harsh battles. The physical strength they consumed was far greater than that of the Tianjie Army...
This kind of consumption was something they could not make up for when they were exposed to the sun and rested under the sun. It was because of the help of the sun climate that the Turkic soldiers became increasingly weak, which in turn allowed the long-term fatigued Tianjie Army to gain the upper hand.
It’s not that the Tianjie Army is getting stronger and stronger as they fight, but because they become weaker and weaker as they fight, they become less supportive.
It was nearly an hour before the sun set. If the soldiers let the sun bake the sun, the entire Turkic army would collapse.
"Retreat the troops! Move to the northwest of Dapan Mountain! Ashin, you will retreat with some of your troops first!" Jie Li was a little worried again. He was as cautious as a snake and a scorpion for the cunning and shameless Luo Shixin.
His concerns are completely correct.
Just when the Turkic soldiers were ordered, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
A sudden change!
A whistle sounded from the Tianjie Army and exploded in the air.
This is a unique signal arrow in the Tang Dynasty. The Turks also had whistles, but theirs would not explode. The whistles of the Tang Dynasty were mixed with the principle of firecrackers and had the effect of explosion.
It's ok!
The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, and a spirited Tang cavalry rushed out of the slant of Dapan Mountain.
The Turkic cavalry, who were still fighting against the Tianjie Army in front of him, had no time to retreat, were mentally prepared for the sudden appearance of this cavalry, and could not help but feel an uproar and a chaotic situation.
Jie Li's face was pale. No matter what, he could not have imagined that Luo Shixin could still hide his troops. Now that his retreat order had been issued, the soldiers were all roasted into human char siu. With such an order, he could not wait to transfer, and he was still considering the enemy behind him.
************
Luo Shixin has been paying attention to the movements of the Turkic army. Now the Turkic soldiers are at a disadvantage and their physical exhaustion can be seen at a glance. I didn't notice it at first because it did not affect the overall performance. It can be said that it was a slight awareness, but at this point, it was stupid that I hadn't noticed it yet.
Facts have proved that Jie Li was just aware of it and was not as stupid as he was.
He also took out the whistle from the arrow pouch and shot it at the sky.
A cavalry almost descended from the sky and rushed to the front.
"The Turkic dog is cowardly, retreat! I have been holding it in one day. Do you dare to fight with me again!" Luo Shixin raised his spear and shouted unrestrainedly. The already tired Tianjie Army saw that they had reinforcements, and the glory of 20,000 to repel 150,000 was rippling in his heart. No matter whether he could fight or not, he shouted or not.
At this moment, it all gathered into one word... "Dare!"
The mountains yelled and the sea thundered, resounding beyond the sky.
Su Dingfang's voice had already been hoarse during repeated rushes, but at this moment, he felt that even if his voice was hoarse and broken, he would do whatever he could.
20,000 yuan was repelled by 150,000 yuan, which was a result he could never have imagined...
And the man who raised his gun and shouted in his eyes did it.
He used the most easily overlooked daily principle and said that the physical energy of the 150,000 Turkic army was exhausted completely, and at this critical moment, he showed his fangs.
"Haha! Old Cheng's axe has only been cut three holes, and it's not scrapped yet!" Cheng Yaojin's body was covered with blood and sweat, and his armor had already been pulled off. His axe was forged by pure steel, and even Baijian Steel had been cut with a hole. It can be seen how much blood was drunk under his axe and how many heads were cut.
Qin Qiong followed him up. This powerful general who was not inferior to Luo Shixin was now like he was caught in a sea of blood. He could not find a clean area on his body, and his sweat could not wash away the blood gathered on his body.
The point of Luo Shixin's spear was exactly the direction of Jie Li's retreat.
The cavalry, led by Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Su Dingfang, rushed towards the Turkic Khan's flag.
Luo Shixin ignored the remaining Turkic soldiers who had not yet withdrawn. They still had about 8,000 combat power, enough to deal with the Turkic soldiers who had no morale and were frightened to death.
About two thousand cavalrymen chased the hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers and beat them behind them.
After being chased for more than ten miles, Jie Li had to cut off his arm and sent his confidant to fight to the death of the palace. He ended the ridiculous situation and resisted the fierce rush.
However, the 10,000 Turkic soldiers behind the palace were almost wiped out.
In this battle, the Tianjie Army under Luo Shixin's command was almost in ruins. Apart from the cavalry that was sent later, there were more than 18,000 people, nine thousand people killed and three thousand seriously injured. No one was not injured, but only the severity of the Turkic soldiers paid an even more painful price. The head level alone was more than 18,000, and the number of casualties was almost as high as 30,000.
There are countless serious and minor injuries. The most important thing is that more than 40,000 survived with more than 40,000 soldiers who were dehydrated and heatstroke.
He fought with 20,000 people for a day with a bloody battle with 150,000 enemies, and fought with infantry and cavalry to fight back seven times stronger enemies... The number of enemies killed was the sum of the troops that defeated one side.
This battle was very difficult, but it has to be said that the victory was extremely brilliant and beautiful. (To be continued...)
