Chapter 383: The Final Battle (1)

"Teacher, now we have a large army, but we can't defeat Qibi Heli. What should we do?" In Dingxiang City, Xue Rengui looked at the tall figure with a worried look on his face. At this time, he discovered that,

The only person who can be called the pillar of the empire is General Li Jing. Unfortunately, over the past few months, this pillar of the empire has become even more aged. The ruddy face in the past is now full of wrinkles, which is enough to show that

This old man has been under great pressure during this period of time.

"Prince, Prince." Li Jing took a deep breath, turned around and said, "The Crown Prince wants me to immediately negotiate peace with Qibi Heli, and then lead his army south to help him stabilize the court. I really don't know what His Highness the Crown Prince is thinking."

"Teacher, Rengui heard that His Majesty does not want His Royal Highness to succeed to the throne. I wonder if this is the case?"

Dare to say it.

"You are right." After a while, Li Jing nodded, sighed, and said: "Unless it is really the last moment of the company, otherwise, I will not be willing to do something like Huo Guang. Although I uphold

His Majesty's thoughts have been understood, but the common people will not look at me that way. They think that I am a treacherous minister and traitor. Humph, if you don't do this, wouldn't it be possible for Cui to control the power of the court? The reason why Your Majesty was trapped in Ding in the first place

Xiang is their masterpiece. I, Li Jing, am not that confused to support them at this time. What's more, I am praying for peace talks with the Turks. This is not the period of Li and Tang, let alone the time when His Majesty first ascended to the great treasure, but in our Tang Dynasty.

At its peak."

"What the teacher said is absolutely true. It's a pity that the army is now disorganized. If we want to win in one battle, we will probably have countless casualties," Xue Rengui said, shaking his head.

"All these old men you are talking about know, isn't it the duty of people like us to die on the battlefield? It is also an honor." Li Jing sneered and said: "People like us would rather die on the battlefield than die on the battlefield.

I would rather die in the hands of those villains in the court. I heard that Cui Ye is coming?"

"Rengui has also heard about it. It's really ridiculous." Xue Rengui sneered: "Then what does Master Cui Rengui think our border army does? Just send a young boy to command an army of hundreds of thousands? If so, send one

The heavyweights are also better, but they sent a boy who didn't take us seriously. Teacher, we will do what you say we should do."

"Yes, Marshal, we will do whatever you say." Behind him, Zu Ming, Chang He, Zhou Qing and other generals looked at Li Jing. Their faces were full of expectation, and from this,

It can be seen that Li Jing's prestige in the Tang army has reached the level of even the top. It's ridiculous that Cui Renshi thought that a handwriting from the prince could replace the military morale. This is just the idea in the minds of literati. These guys think they are all

It's Zhuge Liang who can command an army across the battlefield.

"The situation in Chang'an City is urgent. I want to return to Chang'an to Dinghe Mountain. Therefore, the battle in Dingxiang must immediately eliminate Qibi Heli's army outside the city. I want someone to sacrifice the flag. Who do you think is the most suitable?" Li Jing turned around.

Go, face the generals, and say loudly.

"Cui Ye", Xue Rengui and others were overjoyed, raised their hands and said: "The commander-in-chief has given orders, and I will obey them."

"Rengui, order a thousand elite soldiers to fetch Cui Ye." Li Jing's eyes swept across the generals, and finally landed on Xue Rengui. At this time, Xue Rengui, after several battles with the Turkic cavalry, was green and astringent.

He had retreated a long time ago, and standing there, a momentum came out of thin air, and he already had the demeanor of a famous general. Although he could not compare with the veteran martial arts students Qin Yong, Zu Ming and the like, he was much better than others.

, which made Li Jing feel very pleased.

"The last general takes orders." Xue Rengui was overjoyed and responded loudly.

"Generals, in three days, I will review the three armies. On the fourth day, I will attack the Turks and fight the Turks." Li Jing shouted loudly: "I am already old. Next to the tomb given by your Majesty, the green pine trees are several feet high. At this time,

, If we haven’t defeated the Turks, do we still have to leave this responsibility to our next generation? That would not only be our shame, but also the shame of our Tang Dynasty.”

"Swear to the death to destroy the Turks."

The eyes of Zu Ming and others flashed red, murderous intent loomed, and the blood in their hearts boiled. The voices could be heard far away. Before the situation in Beijing was stabilized, no one would pay attention to the army in Dingxiang. If it were not for the imperial court

, and with the support of several ministers from Xuande Hall, the General Staff is still under Xu Shiji's control. I am afraid that Dingxiang's food and equipment have long been disconnected, but Li Jing knows that none of this is a long-term solution. Once Lu Chengzu really

After ascending the throne, Cui Renshi would use food and grass to force his hundreds of thousands of troops to disband, and he, Li Jing, could only return home to rest in his company. It would be impossible to complete the mission assigned by Lu Zhaoci. He, Li Jing, would die.

At that time, the army could not be seen to pacify the grassland and achieve a glorious cause. The people of the Tang Dynasty would continue to live in fear because of the existence of the Turks, so Li Jing was ready to go on an expedition. Li Jing, who had never fought an uncertain battle, decided this time

It was time to take the risk. Even if Li Jing died on the battlefield, he was not willing to die in Chang'an, nor was he willing to see the Tang Dynasty that he and Lu Zhaoci had worked so hard to create decline like this.

The last moment disappeared into nothing. That was even more uncomfortable than him dying.

"Swear to the death to destroy the Turks."

The soldiers in the school grounds and the military camps outside the city did not know what was happening in the city, but it did not hinder their hearing. They could hear that the old and powerful voice was that of their beloved general. They could tell that

, those voices that followed were those of the brave generals. They could tell that these voices were full of pride and even more unwillingness. Habitually or from the bottom of their hearts, they also

He let out a series of shouts that shook the heavens and the whole world, shaking the heaven and earth, like landslides and cracks in the earth. The Turks who pressed down the camp not far away were frightened and thought that the Tang army had launched a general attack. They quickly ordered their troops to prepare.

Fighting, but unfortunately after waiting for a long time, there was no movement on the other side, so I had no choice but to put down the weapons in my hands, and dispersed again under the leadership of the captains of thousands, captains of thousands, and captains of centurions.

"Li Jing is going to fight us in a decisive battle." In front of the huge tent in the center, Qibi Heli, Jieli, Tuli and other Turkic noble leaders stood there, looking at Dingxiang in the distance, Jieli couldn't help but said quietly.

"Li Jing is the only one who wants to fight us now? Then doesn't he want the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command?" Qibi Heli showed a sneer on his lips. He said with a smile: "The princes of the Tang Dynasty are busy right now.

Fighting for the throne, hehe, the army has no fighting spirit. Does Li Jing want to go against the common sense of military strategists and fight a decisive battle with us? Brother Jieli, if you were in this situation, would you fight a decisive battle with our army? "

When Jieli heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned extremely green. He looked coldly at Tuli on the other side, which made Tuli look extremely embarrassed. The two uncles and nephews were fighting each other for the position of Khan. One thought

The other one wanted to seize power, but the other one wanted to plot against others, attracting a figure like Qibi Heli and making him the khan. I thought it was a certain death situation, but now it's better. There is a problem within Datang itself.

Even their own emperor was betrayed, and now the emperor is living on the grassland, not knowing whether he is alive or dead, and Qibi Heli's prestige has also reached its peak through this opportunity. Jieli and Tuli immediately regretted it when they saw this, and the snipe and the clam looked at each other.

Fighting, the fisherman will gain. What else can be said at this time? Although the mourning soldiers will win, we have to look at the strength of both sides. Can the Tang soldiers who have no fighting spirit really defeat the Turkic soldiers? The answer can be said to be almost

It's impossible. The uncle and nephew don't think highly of Li Jing at all, but it's impossible to make these two people willing.

"Great Khan, Li Jing never does anything that he is not sure about. At this time, he wants to challenge our army for a decisive battle. I'm afraid he has a conspiracy." Tu Li said cautiously: "I heard that the grassland in the west is not very safe recently, and there are many tribes.

They were destroyed by others. These people acted like the wind and committed all kinds of evil. They burned, killed and looted like bandits. I am worried that it was done by the Tang army?"

"Er Khan was too careful. I thought this must be the work of horse bandits." Qibi Heli shook his head and said: "Given the strict military discipline of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing cannot be done. What's more,

The important thing is that the people of the Central Plains are deeply influenced by Confucianism. Even if they go to enemy countries, they still adhere to Confucianism and they will not do such a thing." Jie Li and others also nodded when they heard this. These guys often

When dealing with the people of the Central Plains, especially in recent years, in order to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible, you should know everything about the opponent. The army of the Central Plains adheres to benevolence, righteousness and morality. They do not promote unknown troops and always flaunt justice. This is their weakness.

, thinking about it, this kind of thing is indeed not their fault, but it is a very troublesome thing to have such a powerful group of bandits on the grassland.

"In this case, why is Li Jing like this?" Zhiya Sili frowned and said: "Li Jing is not that stupid. Such an obvious weakness is exposed in front of us. On the battlefield today, no one's soldiers and horses are any more.

Whoever has more troops will be victorious. If the morale of his soldiers is not stable, how can they withstand the cavalry of our prairie?"

"He has no choice." Qibi Heli said with a smile: "Think about it, how old is Li Jing? Does he still have the chance to lead the army to the grassland again? He has no chance. What's more,

There are constant disputes within the Tang Dynasty. Once another person becomes the emperor, as the saying goes, one emperor and one minister, will the new emperor still tolerate Li Jing and command all the troops of the Tang Dynasty like this? Hum, it is definitely possible. Again, Li Jing

He has to return to Chang'an to stabilize the country of Tang Dynasty. In any case, Li Jing has become his only choice to go out of the city for a decisive battle. So don't worry about whether he has other conspiracies. In the face of absolute strength, everything will be defeated.

All the conspiracies and tricks are useless.”

"Yes. What Khan said is absolutely true." Even though Jieli and Tuli hated Qibi Heli very much, at this time, they had to admit that the situation faced by Qibi Heli in front of them had changed.

The analysis was very thorough, and leaving the city for a decisive battle had become Li Jing's last choice, and it was also his only choice.

"Then what should we do? Can't we agree to Li Jing like this?" Jie Li said unwillingly: "Although our army has the advantage in the field, Li Jing has many soldiers and horses. If we go out to fight in the field, our army will also suffer losses.

Quite a few. In this way, I'm afraid it's a bit more loss than gain. What I mean is that we command the army and station it in the camp, waiting for the opponent's attack. Anyway, we and the army will not leave the camp. Hum, look at how big Li Jing is.

His ability can break through our army's camp."

"Yes, as long as Li Jing's army is out of food and grass and the competition for the throne of the Tang Dynasty becomes fierce, then we can attack again. Presumably by that time, the morale of Li Jing's army will have weakened to a certain extent. Our army's attack will not only destroy the opponent

, and more importantly, our army's casualties will be very few." Tu Li also followed up.

"No, you are all wrong." Unexpectedly, Qi Biheli waved his hand and said: "Li Jing is a hero, and a hero should have four ways to die. Since he wants to fight decisively, then we will fight decisively. We want to

Defeat them from the front. Only by defeating them from the front can our army be invincible. Only by giving the opponent a hard blow will the people in the Central Plains be afraid of us and regard us as a scourge. At that time, our army will go south.

During the Central Plains, those cities in the Central Plains would open their doors to surrender. According to Ben Khan's understanding, the army on the opposite side can sustain it until now. First of all, their commander-in-chief is Li Jing, who has a high prestige in the army. More importantly,

, they are composed of elite soldiers drawn from all over the country by Lu Zhaoci for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and they are a standing army. That is why they can support it until now."

"Frontal defeat?" Jie Li and Tu Li's expressions changed after hearing this. They admitted that what Qibi Heli said was very reasonable, but if it was a frontal defeat, countless troops would be lost, and it might even happen again.

The situation of losing both sides, especially in Li Jing's Liuhua Formation, had a terrible impact on the Turkic cavalry. What did Qi Bi Heli want to do? Did he really want to defeat Li Jing head-on? Or more obviously, he wanted to defeat Li Jing head-on.

How to weaken the strength of the Ashina tribe? You must know that although Qibi Heli has become the khan, among the Turkic tribes, the most powerful one is not Qibi Heli's army, but the combination of Jieli and Tuli.

The Ashina tribe cavalry got up. Maybe this guy who only knew the big tent in the past wanted to consume the strength of the two of them. If this is the case, it will not be a good thing for Jieli and Tuli.

News.

"Yes, a frontal defeat." Qibi Heli seemed not to have seen the livid look on the faces of the two men, but with a stern look on his face, he snorted: "How majestic was our Great Turk back then? I beat the Central Plains Dynasty to surrender.

, but what about now? Even the city of Dingxiang has been captured by the other side, and even ordinary horse bandits actually dare to go to the grasslands to burn, kill and loot. At this time, the most important thing is to establish the prestige of our Turks. We must use

The knives and bows in our hands tell our enemies that our Turkic cavalry are invincible and invincible. Even if the opponent is the military god of the Central Plains, they can only become the ghost of our Turks. The soldiers of the Great Turks

You guys, are you willing to raise the scimitars in your hands and tell those cowardly Central Plains people that we Turks are brave and invincible in the world."

"The world is invincible, the world is invincible." Hearing this, the Turkic soldiers guarding the tents roared loudly one after another. Then, all the Turkic soldiers in the camp also roared. The sound shook the surrounding areas.

He was actually still ahead of the Tang army in Dingxiang City. When Qi Bi Heli saw this, he couldn't help laughing. Only Jie Li and Tu Li behind him looked livid, with cold light flashing in their eyes, looking coldly at those in front of them.

Qibi Heli. At this moment, Qibi Heli successfully aroused the military morale of the Turkic soldiers.

"It seems that the opponent already knows that we are going to fight decisively." On the city wall, Li Jing looked at the Turkic military camp in the distance, with a look of worry hidden between his brows. He did not expect that what he did would not be discovered by the opponent.

, but if the other party is also very motivated, this is a very bad thing for the Tang Dynasty's army.

"Since there is nothing wrong with the discovery, General, our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not just for a living. Humph, when you really go to the battlefield, you don't just shout a few slogans. You also have to look at the guy in your hand. The last general

I don’t believe that the opponent’s cavalry is really that powerful. We have the general’s Liuhua Formation, which used to deal with the heroes of the Central Plains and also dealt with Jieli’s. Now it’s just a different one. It’s just the same killing.

?" Zhou Qing tightened the spear in his hand, his eyes flashed with cold light, and there was murderous intent on his face. It was obvious that he did not take the war in front of him into consideration at all.

"Yes, General, even if the opponent's cavalry is very powerful, it has been under Dingxiang City for such a long time. The morale of the army has long been exhausted. It's the same as our army. Hum, I guess their food and grass can't keep up. We really have to fight.

Get up, no one is missing." Li Qinghong said disdainfully: "General, I am willing to be the vanguard. See if the spear in my hand can break through the opponent's defense, go straight to the tent, kill the general and capture the flag, it will be in vain.

Come and experience this world."

"Yes, isn't it just death?" Li Jinghu opened his eyes, his eyes shone, and he snorted: "I don't believe it, his Turkic soldiers are made of iron, and they can't move an inch under Dingxiang City for such a long time.

, must be exhausted, even if their cavalry is very powerful, the opponent may not be able to defeat our Central Plains cavalry."

"The last general is willing to serve the great general." Xue Rengui and others shouted loudly.

"The Tang Dynasty will win" Li Jing clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

"The Tang Dynasty will win" This is the voice of Xue Rengui and others.

"The Tang Dynasty will win" This is the voice of the soldiers in Dingxiang City.
