Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Bingzhou Chapter 240 Tricks
"Tell me, what should we do now?" In the tent, Jieli Khan looked gloomy and looked at everyone coldly. The atmosphere in the tent was very dull. For the first time in a field battle, the Turks could not defeat the Central Plains.
The confidence they had in the past was shattered at this moment, making everyone feel very uncomfortable.
"Great Khan, if I guess correctly, the weapon used by Lu Zhaoci is called Mo Dao. I also used it in the former Sui Dynasty, but this is the first time that it has appeared on the battlefield on such a large scale. So I
They were unprepared, which is why there was such a failure. Such a failure is not due to war factors and has nothing to do with us and other Turkic cavalry." Tuli Khan said lightly. The faces of the rest of the people heard this.
He breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief on his face. Since it was the other party's fault and not their own cavalry, everyone was naturally not afraid that Jie Li would take the opportunity to attack.
"Despite this, Lu Zhaoci now has Mo Dao in hand. The three armies cooperate with each other and are extremely powerful. It is not something that we and the cavalry can resist." Jie Li nodded, and he also admitted that today's defeat during the day was not caused by his command.
No, that's because the opponent's Mo Dao Shou appeared too suddenly, leaving him unprepared. This was the important reason for the failure. The most important thing right now was how to save the situation.
"Khan, although the attack of the opponent's Mo Dao Shou is very sharp, the armor covering the whole body makes the cavalry and shooting of our Great Turks useless. Even if the bow and arrow can penetrate their armor, the damage to the enemy is minimal. It is basically
It cannot affect the opponent's combat effectiveness." Zhi lost Si Li said fiercely: "However, their movement speed is very slow, which is their weakness. If their movement speed is restricted, the opponent will have no advantage at all."
"You are absolutely right about losing your mind." Jieli Khan nodded, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about how to limit their movement speed now."
"Great Khan, although this movement speed seems to be their weakness, it is not actually their real weakness. The real weakness, I think, is the coordination of the various arms. Only by solving the coordination of the opponent's arms can we effectively contain them.
The speed of the opponent's attack exposed their disadvantages even more." A trace of sarcasm appeared on Qibi Heli's lips, and he lightly glanced at Zhi Xisi, a fierce general could actually see clearly the important matters of the military.
Of course!
As if feeling the contempt in Qibi Heli's eyes, Zhihuan Sili's face turned red, and he said with a cold snort: "All arms cooperate. Qibi Heli, just grab their most powerful fists and destroy their most powerful ones."
Fist, no matter how much they cooperate, it is useless. In the past, when our prairie people went south to the Central Plains, they would also set up a formation and use archers, crossbowmen, infantry, and cavalry to cooperate with each other to resist our Great Turk army, but
What can I do in the end? Are you still surrendering in front of our Turkic cavalry? Now as long as the Mo Daomen are eliminated, it will be equivalent to cutting off Lu Zhaoci's most powerful fist, and then annihilating other troops. The war will continue again.
If we can return to the old path, we will take the initiative on the battlefield. Please be aware of it, the Great Khan."
Tu Li looked at Zhi Hui Si Li in surprise. He was very surprised that these words could come out of Zhi Hui Si Li's mouth. It seemed that they made sense, but in fact, they did not hit the point.
, a sharp weapon like the Mo Dao Shou is the vanguard of the attack. Lu Zhaoci has only used it now. This shows how much the opponent attaches importance to the Mo Dao Shou. It is probably very difficult to eliminate these Mo Dao Shou.
Wansili just made a big pie in front of everyone, but it did not actually solve the actual problem. The sarcasm on Qibi Heli's lips became even stronger...
"Zhi loses his mind, then do you have any strategies to deal with Lu Zhaoci's Mo Dao Shou?" Jieli's eyes showed a hint of doubt. Obviously he also saw the problem, but at the moment it was
Without suitable means to deal with the coordination of the opponent's various arms, he could only choose this method of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. In other words, he had not yet thought of using a suitable method to achieve victory.
"General, I heard that there are many Tang Dynasty people in Shengzhou City. The Khan can use them." A sneer appeared on the corner of Zhi Shen Si Li's mouth, and he said with a smile: "Bo Tie used these people to threaten him at the beginning.
The people in the city surrendered, and now they are used as a vanguard camp to drive them to deal with these Mo Swordsmen. Hum, aren't these Mo Swordsmen very powerful? Let them kill their own people! Kill, Lu Zhaoci, this emperor
I'm afraid I'll have to bear the eternal crime in the future, if I don't kill him, hey, that's just fine!"
"Sss!" Everyone suddenly took a breath and looked at Zhi Shesi Li. No, to be precise, they looked at Bo Tie who was next to Zhi Sha Si Li. Although Zhi Sha Si Li was very cruel, but
It is impossible for him to come up with such a sinister strategy. The only one who can come up with such a sinister strategy among the Turks, apart from Jieli, is probably Bo Tie. However, although this kind of strategy is sinister, it is also
I have to admit that this is an effective method. An effective method that can resist Mo Daoshou's attack. It can even be said that this is not only the best way to deal with Mo Daoshou, but also the best way to deal with the Tang Army's archers and infantry.
The best method would be even more powerful if Turkic soldiers could be mixed in among these common people.
"Khan, this kind of strategy cannot be used." Tuli frowned and said with cupped hands: "Your expedition to the Central Plains this time is not just to rob the Central Plains population like before, but to fight with Lu Zhaoci
Those who are fighting for the world, taking the common people as the vanguard, can certainly defeat Mo Dao's hand, but the Khan will also lose the support of the people. Please think again, Khan."
"This?" Jie Li also showed a trace of hesitation on his face. Tu Li may have other thoughts when he said these words, but one thing he said is very reasonable. He is not here to rob the people and property of the Central Plains, but to
He fought with Lu Zhaoci for the whole world. If he continues like this, he will lose the support of the people. Will anyone still surrender to him in the future?
"The people of the Central Plains are the most stupid. As long as we can give them food, they will not care who rules them!" Bo Tie sneered at the side: "Erhan, I'm afraid you don't understand the people of the Central Plains. What do you think?
Think about it. Those young men in Shengzhou who are repairing the ferry on the Yellow River embankment now, as long as they are given food every day, they will not know who they are working for! Khan, this is the best way, you give the order! As long as we defeat them
If you defeat the 500,000 troops in front of you, the world is yours. Why are you hesitating? What can be greater than the joy of unifying the world and occupying the picturesque mountains and rivers!"
"That's right. We can only conquer the world first, and then govern it." Jie Li's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but patted his thigh and said, "First break Lu Zhaoci's formation. As for the other things, we will consider them later.
Now that you have lost your ability to think, go back to Shengzhou and bring all the old and weak people in Shengzhou."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I'll go right now." A proud look appeared on Zhi Shen Si Li's face, and he glanced at Tu Li and Qibi Heli. Unfortunately, what greeted Zhi Shen Si Li was a sneer on his face.
.
In Lu Zhaoci's camp opposite, there was laughter and laughter everywhere. This time he could defeat Jie Li in a field battle. This had never happened since the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the pre-Sui Dynasty. In the late Sui Dynasty,
At that time, the Turks were a behemoth, so powerful that people were worried and frightened. Anyone who raised troops to rebel in the north would not fail to curry favor with the Turks. Even Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was no exception when he submitted to the Turks. It was said that it was used to forge alliances.
In fact, it was not used to curry favor with the Turks. Now the situation has changed. Relying on Mo Dao Shou and the cooperation of various arms, it is enough for the Tang army to gain the upper hand against the Turks in the field. This
It is quite commendable. Although there were countless casualties in the cavalry conflict, they still forced the Turkic army to retreat on their own initiative. This is enough to make the generals feel proud...
"General, please!" Lu Zhaoci sat on his upper arm and said with a smile: "Drinking is not allowed in the army, especially at this time. I will drink tea instead of wine to toast the general. Sirs, come and toast together.
General."
"General, please!" The eyes of the generals were filled with fiery light, but their hearts were full of yearning. It is quite rare for a general to be as good as Li Jing. Think about the continuous favors received by Emperor Zhenguan today.
Every time he returned from an expedition, Emperor Zhenguan would personally go ten miles out of the city to greet him and command an army of 500,000 without any precautions in his heart. Not everyone can enjoy this kind of treatment. As a minister, it is also a blessing to have such a blessing.
You can be satisfied.
"Thank you, Sir, Your Majesty." Li Jing did not refuse. He was magnanimous in his heart. What's more, his ten years of friendship with Lu Zhaoci was enough for him to understand Lu Zhaoci's personality. The mutual suspicion between monarch and ministers did not apply to Li Jing.
Not applicable. More importantly, Li Jing is content with what he has. For him, fame, fame and wealth are just a passing thing, and he doesn't need to take it to heart at all. Without desires, one can be strong, Li Jing firmly believes in this.
"General, tell me, tomorrow, can this Jieli come up with any way to deal with my Mo Dao Shou?" Lu Zhaoci said with a smile, with a trace of pride on his face, and said: "I have the cooperation of all the armies.
, that Jieli can come up with a way to deal with me in a short period of time, General, I tell you, I don’t believe it.”
"Your Majesty, there is no absolute in all these things." Li Jing thought about it, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The shortcomings of Mo Dao Shou are also very obvious. One is that it is slow, and on the other hand, it consumes a lot of physical strength and cannot be used for a long time.
Keep holding on. Once we break away from the cooperation of the army, we will definitely be defeated. So at this time, if I guess correctly, the other party is thinking of a strategy to deal with our Mo Daoshou."
"General, if Mo Dao Shou attacks alone and takes advantage of Mo Dao Shou's weakness, it is still possible to eliminate these Mo Dao Shou. However, if we and other three armies cooperate, it may be a little difficult for Xie Li to eliminate this Mo Dao Shou.
Maybe! I, Old Cheng, don’t believe this.” Cheng Yaojin’s eyes were opened today, and he was even more delighted with Mo Dao’s hand. He was also thinking about how to ask Lu Zhaoci to command these thousands of Mo Dao in the future.
As for the swordsman, when Li Jing said this at this time, he was naturally unhappy and said quickly.
"Although the battle formation is also flexible and changeable, in the end, compared to humans, it is still a dead thing. Only humans are living creatures, and humans are the masters of all things. The combination of all arms, plus my Six Flowers Formation, can
If we maximize the power of our hundreds of thousands of troops, we can wipe out the opponent's tens of thousands of troops in an instant, but over time, we still have weaknesses."
"Yes, we can't be complacent just because of one victory. We must know that Jieli is undefeated across the grassland. There must be a reason. If they want to go to war tomorrow, it is naturally good. If they don't go to war, they must be thinking of a way.
It’s time to deal with our Mo Daoshou." Lu Zhaoci nodded.
"Your Majesty, what we have to do now is to mix many types of soldiers together, cooperate with Mo Dao Shou, maximize their power, and remain unchanged in response to all changes. No matter what changes the opponent has, we only need to hold on to our
Fundamentally, that’s enough. Now on our periphery, there are Qin Yong’s thousands of troops, crisscrossing the grasslands, harassing their grain roads. There is the hussar general Xu Shiji, who can deal with Yunzhong’s soldiers and horses. As long as they are defeated
The soldiers and horses in the cloud can go deep into the grassland, destroy everything on the grassland, and then pass the news to Jieli's army. Hey, Jieli may be able to hold on, but the tribes under him may not be able to bear it.
They mainly respect Jieli, that is, Jieli can bring them benefits. If it cannot bring benefits, or if it affects their own tribe, their loyalty to Jieli will be greatly reduced.
Yunzhong is close to Tuli's tribe. If he knew that his tribe was attacked, he would definitely not be able to stay. His tribe is related to the basis of his confrontation with Jieli. It cannot be lost." Li Jingxiao
Hehe said...
"Yes, today we are just testing the power of Mo Dao Shou. The various arms have initially coordinated, but they have not yet reached the level of perfection. Only with more contact can we better utilize the power of Mo Dao Shou. Only in this way can we defeat
Jieli, fight them back to the grassland. If we beat them to a pulp, then in three years, no, two years, we can go deep into the grassland and completely eliminate the threat from the northern grassland."
"What your Majesty said is fascinating. I am also looking forward to this day. When the time comes, I am willing to fight on the grassland for Your Majesty and wipe out Jieli's army in one fell swoop." Li Jinghu looked majestic and his voice was like a bell.
Shake the big tent.
"I am willing to serve your Majesty." The generals were so excited that they stood up and shouted loudly.
"Okay, okay, we, the monarch and the ministers are united, why should we be afraid of the powerful army? Sirs, let's encourage each other." Lu Zhaoci also said loudly. He picked up the strong tea in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
"At this time, Jie Li may be enjoying roasted whole lamb in the camp opposite. I won't be left behind waiting here! I have ordered the imperial chef to make roast suckling pig. Come on, give one to each general."
Lu Zhaoci said with a smile. Drinking in the army is definitely not allowed, but eating in the army is allowed. What's more, today is a victory, so naturally it is time to celebrate. As Lu Zhaoci
With Ci's order, dozens of roasted suckling pigs were brought up. The fragrance was fragrant and made people salivate. Cheng Yaojin and others opened their eyes even more. As soon as the suckling pigs were placed on the table, they couldn't bear it.
He grabbed the suckling pig in his hand and ate it.
Roasted suckling pig was known as one of the eight delicacies as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, but at that time it was called "cannon pig". Nowadays, the suckling pig processed by the imperial chef is even more amazing, and its color is the same as amber.
, it is also similar to real gold, it disappears when you enter it, it is as strong as snow, and it contains paste and cream, which makes it look very special and extraordinary. It is not something that ordinary wealthy people can enjoy.
Not to mention that Lu Zhaoci held a banquet for all the generals in the big tent. The next day, Lu Zhaoci ordered Cheng Yaojin and others to go out to challenge the camp, and at the same time ordered Li Jing to perfect the formation to cope with Jie Li's various tricks.
"It seems that Jieli really has no choice. He has been hiding in the camp for several days. General, it's time to find a way to force Jieli to fight." Three days have passed, and Lu Zhaoci
Although he ordered people to challenge him every day, it was a pity that Jieli ignored the Tang army at all. He only hid in the camp, closed the door tightly, and allowed Lu Zhaoci to challenge outside. Once an army approached, he ordered people to fight with him.
Shoot it with a strong bow and a crossbow. And Lu Zhaoci doesn't care about this situation because he has to train many arms to fight together. Anyway, he has plenty of time to fight in the local area, so he doesn't care about food, grass, logistics and the like at all, and Jie
However, the situation is different. We must always be on guard against Qin Yong’s attacks on the grain road. I’m afraid life will be very painful!
"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei has come to report an emergency!" At this time, Qin Jiudao suddenly ran over in a hurry. Behind him was a good-looking middle-aged man with a big belly and a shrewd look on his face.
He looks like a businessman.
"I, Jinyiwei Xiaoqi Zuo Qing, pay my respects to Your Majesty and the general." I saw Zuo Qing paying his respects.
"Get up and talk." Lu Zhaoci showed a hint of kindness on his face and asked, "What urgent news has come?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, I received a message from the brothers hiding in Shengzhou City that Bo Tie went to Shengzhou three days ago and planned to take all the old and weak people in Shengzhou City to the front of the army. I am afraid there is another conspiracy. Please ask Your Majesty.
Check in detail." Zuo Qing said respectfully.
"How did you escape the search of the Turkic army?" Li Jing looked at Zuo Qing with bright eyes and said.
"Xia Guan Bo has money, so..." Zuo Qing's face turned slightly red and he glanced at Lu Zhaoci secretly.
"Come here, I'll give Zuo Qing a hundred catties of green gold. Zuo Qing, you've worked hard, go down and rest!" Lu Zhaoci said to Zuo Qing without thinking.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zuo Qing was overjoyed when he heard this. Although the hundred gold was not a lot, it was rewarded by His Majesty himself. How could he not be happy?
"General, do you think this Turk has any conspiracy?" Lu Zhaoci asked with a frown.
