Views:

The cold winter wind was blowing, Li Kuan, Shi Rui, and Li Zhen quietly rushed to Xue Yantuo's iron cavalry under the cold wind. They drove for several days, and people were tired and tired. Although there is a formation, now there is no spare energy to really raise the twelve points spirit to patrol.

Shi Rui understands Xue Yantuo's tribal language, and Li Zhen also knows a little, but Li Kuan can't understand a single sentence, let alone speak their language. So Shi Rui took the lead, followed by Li Zhen, and Li Kuan at the end. The three were crawling on the grass. Observing the movements of Xue Yantuo's army.

"His Royal Highness, there can be a breakthrough." Shi Rui pointed to a place on the right wing of the Iron Horse, which was close to the river. He heard someone taking water from a distance. Li Kuan nodded in agreement. The three of them walked quietly along the river again. Shi Rui carefully observed the movement. Li Kuan and Li Zhen are outgoing.

As they approached slowly, the faint light of the fire was swayed by the cold wind, and the heavy armors were also taken off by the iron knights. They only carried their sabers, holding the lamb belly pot in their hands, and kept holding water. For water, one person holds the kettle and the other holds the torch to let the air out.

The three of them were filling water and chatting, the voices were not loud, and even the nearest Shi Rui could only hear a little bit. At the same time, Shi Rui took out two small knives from her waist, and Li Zhen also pulled out a scimitar from her waist and held them in her hands. Then Shi Rui and Li Zhen chose to take off their armors, wearing only thick armor. Winter clothes, went out in an open manner.

The exuberant shouted in Turkic language: "Who?"

Shi Rui replied: "Tutun sent us to urge!"

"Wait!"

The outstretched soldier heard his accent. After putting down his guard, he turned and urged the two to hurry up. The two behind did not dare to delay. They lowered their heads and speeded up. When the outstretched soldiers turned back, they saw Shi Rui and Li Zhen, especially The clothes and attire of the two were not from Xue Yantuo's clan. Li Zhen took the knife and dropped it before giving a warning. As for the two who bowed their heads to catch the water, they didn't notice at all. When they raised their heads, Shi Rui gave them a knife. solve.

Li Kuan has already appeared from the hidden place. Needless to say, the three of them quickly put on Xue Yantuo's costumes, and even the decorations were taken from the spot. As for the corpses of the three people, they were put into the river and flowed along the river. Flowing, the three successfully mixed into Xue Yantuo's army.

Li Kuan did not understand Turkic, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. Shi Rui and Li Zhen were very calm, and Li Kuan and others remained in the army that night. After a whole night of rest and recuperation, the large infantry army set up the next day also merged with the cavalry, and its strength instantly expanded to 60,000.

"Let's pass on the order, here is a decisive battle with Tang Jun!"

With an order, the leaders and generals of the entire Xue Yantuo tribe followed their orders. They were full of confidence, and now their forces have increased, and they are in the territory of Xue Yantuo, occupying the geographical advantage. He wants to flee the shame of fleeing from the wind. come back.

At the same time, Li Ji and Xue Wanche led their cavalry and Turkic cavalry to the green mountain, less than ten miles away from the magnanimous tent. When they arrived at Qingshan with 6,000 cavalry, Zhang Chong, Liao Fan and others came out one after another.

"Where is Your Highness?"

Li Ji found out that Li Kuan was not in the army. Although he and Xue Wanche were surprised that the Chixiao Army arrived first, this surprised them a bit, but what really surprised them was that Li Kuan, who was a general, was not there, which made them feel that something was wrong. wonderful.

Zhang Chong answered truthfully, and Xue Wanche was taken aback: "Go deep into the enemy camp?"

Zhang Chong quickly reported to Li Ji and Xue Wanche about what he had observed in the past two days. Both of them knew that Xue Yantuo's army had been in Nuozhen Water, which meant that they had rested for the past two days. Instead, they were chased by their own soldiers and horses. exhausted.

Therefore, Li Ji and Xue Wanche discussed and decided to be stationed in the green hills and observe the enemy's movements from above the green hills. At this time, Xue Yantuo's army was ready to wait for them. The entire army was like a city wall for ten li. If you want to break through, you must face the enemy head-on.

Li Ji and Xue Wanche discussed and decided that Li Ji led five thousand cavalry to meet the enemy from the front, Xue Wanche led a thousand cavalry to attack the back, Zhang Chong and others took the initiative to ask for war, Li Ji saw that they were so determined, so he let Xue Wanche lead the back.

The next day, Li Ji led five thousand cavalry soldiers in battle and confronted Xue Yantuo's army head-on. He magnanimously assumed that Li Ji was only leading thousands of soldiers and horses. He was dismissive and mocking. The fear before was completely unnecessary. He was confident and immediately ordered: "The archer shoots!"

Suddenly, Xue Yantuo's army shot out thousands of arrows and shot at the cavalry led by Li Ji. Unpreparedly, the horses shot by the arrows were killed and injured. Thousands of cavalry lost thousands of people in an instant. Li Ji was heartbroken and ordered again: !"

Everyone dismounted, holding the shield in their left hand, and rushing towards the cavalry camp of Xue Yantuo’s army in the right hand. The remaining horses rushed forward first. The frightened horses were panicked and gushing out a huge force, as if going crazy. The enemy rushed wildly.

At the same time, Xue Yantuo's army is relatively strong. Unfortunately, the formation was completely chaotic when the horses were rampaged. The cavalry who gave up the horses instantly became infantry. Under Li Ji's command, the Tang army holding a Mo knife was like a butcher in a slaughterhouse, Xue Yantuo The cavalry didn't know how to respond for a while.

Although the enemy has a lot of troops, it is a pity that the ability to command and fight generously is average, and it can't give full play to the advantage of being strong and strong. Even if the two ends of the rescue are close to the middle, it takes time, which also makes Xue Yantuo's army retreat again and again.

Xue Yantuo's army was completely messed up. Xue Wanche led two thousand cavalry to support them from the side. Zhang Chong and other Chixiao troops followed suit. This kind of support was emphasized by Li Kuan with Zhang Chong, Li She and others, so they met each other. Coordination does not require the command of Xue Wanche, and he consciously cooperates with his actions, which also greatly reduces Xue Wanche's pressure, and can safely and boldly disperse Xue Yantuo's cavalry and infantry. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

When the cavalry and infantry were unable to respond from the beginning to the end, and they were unable to cope, they were all in chaos. They lost their intent to fight, no matter how strong they were, they were also weak, and they weren't afraid at all. Moreover, after the cavalry led by Xue Wanche broke out, they took the lead in subduing the cavalry. This also made the cavalry chaotic, and the pace of the infantry followed chaos, and everyone broke up and fled.

Zhang Chong, Li She and others took the opportunity to show the results of their drills and directly trapped Xue Yantuo’s 10,000 infantrymen with just over a thousand troops, and they surrounded them and did not fight, just surrounding them and constantly consuming them. The fighting spirit in their hearts made them know that they were defeated and unable to return to the sky and surrendered.

Li Ji took the lead and rushed into the enemy's camp, armed with Changli and killed him. There were only more than 3,000 soldiers from Xue Yantuo's army who died in the battle. Some of them were trampled to death by their own soldiers with messed hands and feet. Most of them were trampled to death. The cavalry led by Li Ji beheaded.

Within a moment of the confrontation between the two armies, Xue Yantuo's army was already defeated. After days of running and exhausted, they had no intention of fighting again. They threw their helmets and armors and fled early, as if the result of this battle was already doomed, and Xue Yantuo's army without fighting strength suffered heavy losses. , Not only were more than 50,000 captured, but also more than 15,000 war horses.

The Battle of Nuozhen Water ended with the great victory of the Tang Dynasty and Turkic coalition forces headed by Li Ji and Xue Wanche. This battle also became the turning point of Xue Yantuo's decline. (End of this chapter)
