Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 223 Big fist is the last word
Things are often so miraculous, one thought can lead to heaven, and one thought can lead to hell.

Tu Li's hesitant thought made him lose hope of stepping into Mayi City in this life, and Sun Xiangfu's song came out of feeling.

Because he had binoculars, he knew for the first time that Li Jing had sneaked to a place less than two miles behind Tuli, and sent a signal to the defenders to tell them that they had to resist more resolutely and let the Turks dismount.

The expeditionary army led by him has gone through a journey of thousands of miles, with strong willpower and iron-like discipline. After being delayed for more than a day at a remote pass, they accelerated their marching speed, even if they did not rest all day and night. He was on his way, his spirits were still high, and he was able to join the battle immediately.

After the army arrived, the reason why he didn't launch an attack on Tuli immediately was because Li Jing saw the situation of the Shuozhou city gate attack and defense battle through the binoculars. There were fire lights everywhere, but he could see clearly in the dark.

He was waiting for the moment when Tuli drove more soldiers off their horses and charged into Sun Xiangfu's crossbow array, because only in this way could Tuli have the hope of breaking through the city. Suddenly, it is conceivable that those Turkic soldiers who gave up their advantage in cavalry will be massacred by the Tang army one-sidedly.

However, Tuli hesitated and withdrew his troops back, but what surprised Li Jing even more was that Tuli made most of his soldiers get off their horses after some organization outside the city , began to make large shields, and prepared to attack the city again.

Turkic people with horses always like to compare Han people to two-legged sheep, but in front of Han people with horses, Turkic people without horses can’t even compare with sheep, and Tang Jun can teach them how to fight on foot. Turks are human beings, not to mention fighting horses against infantry.

Half an hour later, Tuli finally converted his cavalry into infantry with shields. In his opinion, seven to eight thousand people, attacking a city with no gates and only a few hundred remnants, as long as they block the initial That rain of arrows can be shot in one go.

However, the clarion call for his march also became the clarion call for Li Jing's army to charge.

"Come here, go up to the wall, hold up the fire and hold the lamp, and let General Li kill him to his heart's content."

On the city wall, Sun Xiangfu shouted vigorously. Although his voice was hoarse, it made people feel so happy.

The distance of less than 1000 meters was short for the cavalry. When the Turkic soldiers holding heavy shields crowded towards the suspension bridge, the sound of horseshoes and a surging black line appeared in front of Tuli.

"Not good, there are cavalry from the Tang army, hurry up, retreat quickly, get on your horse..."

The roar of Tuli is so weak. After more than an hour of collection on the city wall, more than half of the crossbow bolts have been recovered. The sound of hundreds of continuous crossbows firing together, the sound of crossbow bolts being nailed into wooden shields, or the sound of Turkic people's bodies can all be heard. Can easily cover his shouts.

"Drive the horse, charge into battle..."

Li Jing's strategy is unparalleled, and his tactics are even better. When Tang Jun rushed over, the target was not the thousand-man team of Tuli riding on horseback, but seven or eight thousand horses that had been vacated by the Turkic people before. After being stabbed by the sergeants with their lances, his horse rushed forward, and in an instant, scattered the last thousand-man cavalry in Tuli.

The battles that followed were basically massacres. The troops forming a battle line beat the scattered people who were rushed, and the number of local people had a huge advantage, basically crushing everywhere.

Those Turkic soldiers who had lost their horses were already stupefied at this moment. Li Jing only sent a thousand cavalry, like oxen pulling a plow, and easily tore them apart. Their short sabers were not enough. The knight on the horse was pierced through the body by the knight's lance, or cut his throat. The cavalrymen only need to clamp the lance with their arms and charge into the crowd, and the blade of the gun will automatically kill the enemy. The most important thing is that those The Turkic soldiers didn't know whether to continue to attack the city at this moment, or to turn around and run for their lives.

"Khan, the situation is over. If you surrender, you may save your life."

In fact, Abtus had been a little disheartened for a long time. Seeing that the last trace of fire was about to be extinguished, he had no choice but to speak.

Escaping is meaningless to Tuli. Without a young and strong army, he will only live a life worse than a dog when he returns to the grassland.

It's different if he surrenders, Li Shimin will definitely use him as an example for others, maybe it's possible to make him a duke and county king.

In history, he was not a person with a lot of backbone. He made friends with Li Shimin privately for the Khan position. After a conflict broke out with Jieli and lost, he surrendered to Li Shimin and became a courtier. Regarding such things as surrender, He did it without any psychological burden.

However, the situation is different now. He was defeated in the Tang Dynasty and surrendered. It is impossible for Li Shimin to designate him as the king of Beiping County like in history, and it is even more impossible for him to treat him courteously and let him lead the army.

The whip dropped to the ground, Tu Li reined in his horse, and Li Jing who was chasing after him naturally knew what he meant.

On the city wall, looking at Li Jing who escorted Tuli, Sun Xiangfu smiled, and Wang Xu, who was watching the battle beside him, also breathed a sigh of relief. The battle in Shuozhou was finally over, although the battle was only for a short time. Two short days, but it seemed as long as two years of fighting.

"The Tang army is so strong that it is invincible in this world. I hate these ignorant people for killing evil in vain."

Sun Xiangfu suddenly said such a sentence, but Wang Xu was somewhat dissatisfied, "Invincible in this world?"

"Well, do you have any objections?" Sun Xingfu nodded and looked at him, with an expression of dissatisfaction and just talk about it.

"The [-] cavalry under Jieli in the west are the powerful Turkic army. He Chen Bing outside the Yumen Pass, how dare the Tang Dynasty fight with him? Goryeo in the east, although the country is not big, has a strong army of [-]. In the former Sui Dynasty Even millions of people can't attack him, how dare Tang Dynasty take advantage of him?"

"Hehe, those jumping clowns will be cleaned up by the Tang army sooner or later. Do you think the army of the Tang Dynasty is like the former Sui Dynasty? The former Fanjieli 20 cavalry, did they ever go to Guanzhong to please them? Let's talk a little closer, Li Xiaochang 2 The Wandoli State Army rebelled, and His Majesty wiped him out in a flash, and Tuli's [-] cavalry invaded the border, and they were wiped out in just two days, do you think the former Sui Dynasty could do this?"

After being told by Sun Xiangfu, Wang Xu thought again, it is true.

He has not seen the scene elsewhere, but he has seen the strength of the Shuozhou Unity Battalion with his own eyes. It is much stronger than the Wang family soldiers he trained so hard. Look at the cavalry led by Li Jing, Wang Xucai I have an intuitive understanding of the combat power of the imperial army.

Li Jing used his troops to be engrossed, and 5000 people were summoned by him, just like one person, and the timing of the mobilization was just right. The thousands of Turks were wiped out, and the damage was estimated to be less than [-]. This made this battle the most damaged besides Tuli. Wang Xu's feelings are so embarrassing.

You know, before and after, more than seven or eight thousand of his Wang family soldiers died, and even more than half of his most elite guards died.

Seeing that Wang Xu was silent, Sun Xiangfu said again, "People in this world don't always understand the simplest truth."

"What's the point?"

"Big fists are the last word!"

Hearing this, Wang Xu fell silent again. What Sun Xiangfu said was right, especially for a warrior like Wang Xu, the reasoning made sense.

Now, Li Shimin's army is the strongest, so what he said is the truth. It's ridiculous that Wang Lin and his gang are still doing things in Chang'an, but they don't know that before their fists are not as big as others, all small actions are in vain.

Thinking about it the other way around, Wang Xu felt a little fortunate that the Battle of Shuozhou allowed him to eliminate most of the dissidents among the family soldiers. From now on, the fist of the Wang family will be in his hands. Inside the Wang family, his fist is the biggest.

If Sun Xiangfu knew Wang Xu's psychological state at the moment, he would be very relieved. This buddy has finally made it, so I'm afraid he won't fight with all his might!The more you fight, the faster you will be destroyed.
