Chapter 199: The Battle of the Weihe River

"Lu Zhaoci, come out and answer." Jieli Khan had a gloomy look on his face. He never thought that he would be tricked by Lu Zhaoci this time. If he had known that there were only so many people in Chang'an City, he would have waited for Tuli and Qibi.

No matter how powerful he was, he could capture Chang'an with the cavalry of the Ashina tribe in his hands. So at this time, facing Lu Zhaoci, Jieli Khan found that he could no longer control the anger in his heart.

"Look, Jie Li is so angry." On the contrary, Lu Zhaoci still looked relaxed and proud. After all, he tricked others and saved the city of Chang'an. Since the troops of Yuchi Jingde and Xu Shiji arrived, they have been attacking and defending Yi.

Lu Zhaoci has no reason to be unhappy. It can be said that this is the most dangerous time for Lu Zhaoci since he came to the throne, or even since he was reborn, but now he is still allowed to escape.

"Jieli Khan, what, aren't you and I still negotiating? Why don't you want to talk now? Are you trying to break your promise again?" Lu Zhaoci said loudly across the Wei River.

"Lu Zhaoci, don't use sweet words. You are stalling for time. Do you think that the Khan doesn't know? Today, I will ask you, will you surrender or not? If you surrender, the Khan can make you a minor Khan.

"As a minister, if you don't surrender, do you think the young men of Chang'an City behind you can withstand my 200,000 cavalry?" Jieli Khan said with a cold snort.

"Jieli, you have the nerve to stand here and talk nonsense in front of me. You had an alliance with my minister Changsun Wuji. I helped you obtain the throne of Khan. The Turks and the Tang Dynasty will never invade. Not only do you

They invaded the Tang Dynasty and even killed more than ten thousand of my elite soldiers. You still want me to surrender. Let me tell you, I would rather be broken into pieces than destroyed." Lu Zhaoci looked stern, pointed the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand at Jie Li and shouted.

: "You and I have an irreconcilable hatred. If I catch you, I will definitely cut your body into thousands of pieces as a sacrifice to the souls of my more than ten thousand soldiers in heaven."

"Haha, just you, and those Chang'an Qingzhuangs who are pretending to be soldiers? They are just looking for death." Jieli Khan laughed angrily and snorted: "In that case, I will see you on the battlefield!

"

"I'm waiting for you!" Lu Zhaoci raised the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand, and he saw three fierce generals, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and Luo Shixin, leading 20,000 cavalry, slowly standing behind Lu Zhaoci.

"Great Khan, look at that pair of cavalry. I'm afraid they are Lu Zhaoci's final package. If these pair of cavalry are defeated, Lu Zhaoci will definitely be defeated." Shi Luodu looked excited at the side.

"Hmph, there are only tens of thousands of cavalry. The general regards him as a piece of cake. The Great Khan asked me to lead people to get Lu Zhaoci's head and make it into a chamber pot." General Yarjin glared fiercely.

He glanced at Shi Luodian and snorted coldly: "This Lu Zhaoci is so brave. He actually wants to fight against our Turks with this little thing. It's simply a delusion."

"Yarjin, lead 30,000 cavalry and capture Lu Zhaoci for me." Jieli Khan said without thinking.

"Yes! Haha! You bastards, follow me and charge! Capture Lu Zhaoci alive." Yaerjin looked overjoyed when he heard this, and his gray beard trembled. He dropped the riding crop in his hand and held a sharp scimitar in his hand.

, and rushed towards the south bank of the Wei River. The charge of this group of Turks was all about momentum. What's more, these people were used to robbing at the border. They regarded the Central Plains as pigs and sheep and killed them casually. They didn't care about the people on the other side.

Not the pigs and sheep as imagined, but the elite Tigers of the Tang Dynasty.

"You are simply seeking death!" Lu Zhaoci looked cold and said to Xu Shiji beside him: "Maogong, you take command!"

"I obey the order." Xu Shiji did not refuse, took the command flag in his hand, and shouted: "Archers, prepare!" As soon as he heard the words, the cavalry who were originally guarding Lu Zhaoci split into two sides and made way for one.

When the main road came out, more than ten thousand archers were revealed, with their bows and arrows drawn, pointing at the Turkic cavalry...

"No, archers!" General Yarjin saw clearly. When he saw so many archers on the opposite side, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly adjusted his horse speed and fell into the chaos.

"Let go!" Xu Shiji waited until the opponent's war horses had rushed into the Wei River. Although the Wei River was not deep at this time, it made the war horses move much slower. The horses lost their speed and became targets. Most of these cavalrymen

They were light cavalry, and their body protection was sparse. In an instant, they became the target of the archers' attack. There was only a loud "bang" sound, and a dark cloud appeared in the sky.

"ah!"

"ah!"

Screams rang out among the Turkic cavalry, and more than ten thousand flying arrows hit the Wei River. The Turkic cavalry who were hit by arrows were countless, and they fell into the Wei River one after another. In an instant, the water of the Wei River was dyed red.

, it is no longer the turbid color it was before.

"There are few of them, so rush over, rush over, capture Lu Zhaoci alive. Reward a thousand gold coins, and make ten concubines of the Tang Dynasty." General Yarjin roared loudly in the chaos. When the Turkic soldiers heard this, they were originally thinking in their hearts.

Any trace of fear disappeared without a trace, they whipped their sitting horses and charged towards the Wei River again.

"What a pity." Lu Zhaoci said lightly. He didn't know what he was pity for. Is it a human? Or a horse?

"Fire the arrow!" At this moment, Xu Shiji waved the flag in his hand, and saw a dark cloud appear in the sky again, covering the Wei River again. He saw numerous casualties on the other side, but because of General Yaljin's encouragement,

Behind these people, there were still many people rushing up. Unfortunately, what they had to face was the cavalry of Yuchi Jingde and others. They were no match for these people. In less than a moment, they were picked off by the other party.

After falling off their horses, they started to make fertilizers by the Wei River.

"Khan! I'm afraid we won't be able to break through Lu Zhaoci's frontal defense in a short period of time. Khan, you see, even if our army breaks through the arrow formation, the team of black cavalry on the opposite side will be there. After crossing the Wei River, our army will be defeated by a small number of people."

There are many enemies and there is no advantage. How can we be the opponent's opponent?" Bo Tie saw clearly from behind the formation and quickly suggested: "Since the opponent has few soldiers, Khan can contain Lu Zhaoci here and lead the main force.

After stepping out to cross the river and waiting for the large army to cross the Wei River, we took advantage of the cavalry to defeat Lu Zhaoci from the rear flank in one fell swoop, thus establishing victory."

"Forget it! Shi Luo Die led 30,000 troops, found a suitable place to cross the river from the upper reaches, and defeated Lu Zhaoci from the flank." Jieli Khan looked grim. I don't know why, but he didn't have much confidence in today's war.

, I just don’t know where this feeling comes from.

"Your Majesty, Jieli has divided his forces. It seems that he wants to cross the river from the upper reaches of our army and attack our left wing. Or our rear wing." Xu Shiji looked upstream cautiously.

"Don't worry, King Liang is there, and he still has 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, which is enough for him to defeat Shi Luo Die. Haha, speaking of it, this is the second time he has faced Shi Luo Die. If Shi Luo Die knew how to fight against him,

Who is it? I don’t know what he will think." Lu Zhaoci suddenly said with a smile.

"If he were the last general, he would definitely have fled." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

"Command the generals to raise the flag! At this time, it is time for Jie Li to see the majesty of our army." Lu Zhaoci said to the generals behind him.

"General, I obey." The generals all had happy smiles on their faces when they heard the words. They waved back and saw their soldiers raising the flags of the generals one after another. They saw Xu, Yuchi, Qin, and Cheng.

, Luo and dozens of other flags, almost all generals with banners in the Tang army raised their own flags.

"What's going on?" Jieli Khan said nervously as he looked at the dozens of flags that suddenly appeared on the battlefield opposite.

"Great Khan, when General Shi Luodie was crossing the river upstream, he was attacked by Tang Dynasty General Lu Zhaoying halfway across the river and suffered heavy losses." At this time, a soldier staggered over...

"Lu Zhaoying, how many troops does he have?" Jieli Khan whipped his whip and asked in surprise.

"There are about 30,000 people." The soldiers did not dare to lie and said quickly.

"It's broken, Khan, we have fallen into a trap." Bo Tie pointed at the Tang army on the opposite side and said: "Lu Zhaoci also had the same idea as the Khan. He was delaying time so that his reinforcements could come.

, now that his reinforcements have arrived, their strength is probably about the same as mine. So he deliberately tricked us in order to fight with him. As long as he defeated us first, he would not be afraid of the arrival of Tuli and Qibi Heli. Look, then

The Wei Bridge was also demolished on purpose. On the one hand, it can make us think that Lu Zhaoci is cowardly, but on the other hand, he is using the Wei River to continuously consume our army. This damn Lu Zhaoci is so cunning."

Jieli Khan also understood the reason at this time, and his face turned livid. When Bo Tie said this, he immediately cleared his mind. When he was at the Wei River for the first time, Lu Zhaoci did have only the army in his hands.

There were tens of thousands of people, so it was just a bluff at that time, but after a few days of delay, Lu Zhaoci's reinforcements were enough. He used such a move again, but it was not a bluff, but a trick, deliberately deceiving himself.

Thinking that the other side does not have many troops, in fact, it is just to consume your own troops and catch yourself by surprise.

"Attack me!" Jieli Khan raised the whip in his hand and shouted loudly: "I don't believe that Lu Zhaoci is really ready for a decisive battle with me. I don't believe that my two hundred thousand cavalry

You can’t kill the little sheep on the other side.”

"Great Khan, you cannot attack at this time. If you want to attack, you have to wait until Qibi Heli and Tuli's army arrive before attacking again. At this time, attacking is a waste of the cavalry of our Ashina tribe!

How to deter Tuli and Qibi Heli in the future?" Bo Tie quickly stopped him.

"Are we going to withdraw our troops at this time?" Jieli Khan threw the riding crop in his hand to the ground and said viciously.

"I'm afraid that's all." Bo Tie said nervously.
