Country color

Chapter 102
The sound of rumbling horseshoes was deafening.

Li Chongjiu woke up suddenly, as if thinking of something, he snatched his horse and went towards Li Yuan's military tent.

Li Shimin and Li Zhiwan were all on the side. After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Li Yuan's face was solemn, Li Shimin and Li Zhiwan both showed signs of agreement.

"Let me try this for now." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he immediately walked into the military tent.

The three of them fell into waiting at the moment, fortunately Li Yuan returned not long ago, he said with a smile: "Mr. Fan is already dizzy now, any strategy that can defeat the Turks, as long as he proposes, he will always agree, so this time I will leave things to Shimin to do, Chongjiu you will assist Shimin one or two."

"Father, I'm going too." Li Zhiwan said aside.

"Nonsense!" Li Yuan scolded angrily, "This matter is extremely risky, and your daughter's family can manipulate it."

Li Yuan paced in the tent and said: "For the affairs of the country, I, Li Yuan, will never ask to back down, but your eldest brother and second brother are still there, so it's your daughter's turn to come forward."

Li Zhiwan said firmly: "My daughter's ambition in life is to be good to my wife, Hua Mulan."

Li Shimin took a step forward and said: "Father, the third sister is skilled in bowing and horses, and she is also a help. Please rest assured, I will protect Sanniang thoroughly." Will keep Sanniang unharmed."

Li Yuan sighed and said: "If your mother finds out, she will definitely blame me."

Hearing Li Yuan agree, Li Zhiwan was overjoyed.

In front of the big tent of the Chinese army.

Li Shimin held a bowl of wine in his hand, raised it above his head, and said to the soldiers below, "Tomorrow, I will be ordered to take the tooth tent of the Turkic Khan directly. This is a grand event that will be recorded forever. Everyone, drink up."

Everyone was okay at the beginning, but when Li Shimin said that he would take it directly tomorrow, Turkic Khan's tooth tent all changed.

Where Shibi Khan was, the Turks were heavily guarded, not to mention the most elite affiliated army, and he was only a few hundred people, so he was sent to death.

Li Shimin saw the embarrassment on everyone's face, stopped drinking, and immediately drew his sword in his hand, and said: "Why are you afraid? I am the son of Tang Gong. Compared with you, who is more respectful? I am not afraid of death, how dare you Regret your life?"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Chongjiu and all of Li Shimin's cronies below raised their arms and shouted, "I swear to take the head!"

When all the soldiers saw Li Shimin's expression, they all shouted, "I swear to take the head from the beginning to the end!"

All of a sudden, hundreds of soldiers in the central army raised their arms and shouted in unison.

Seeing this scene, Fan Zigai couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, looked at Li Yuan and said, "Mr. Tang is sure about this matter."

Li Yuan didn't have much confidence either, but he still smiled and said, "Lingjun, let's watch the children break the thieves tomorrow."

Only then did Fan Zigai's mind settle down a bit.

The next day it was bright.

One hundred thousand Sui troops deployed in the Shannan Plain.

The Sui army set up formations, and the chariots and horses came out side by side, with the chariots guarding the outside, and the cavalry hiding inside the chariot formations. This is also the Sui army's consistent tactics.

This is also because the proportion of cavalry is too small. Even in Bianjun, there are no more than 20 cavalry, no more than the [-] cavalry of the Turks, and there are more than one horse.

In yesterday's battle, although the Sui Army's cavalry had high combat literacy, the Turkic Rangers were numerous and powerful, completely suppressing the Sui Army's cavalry.

Although most of the Sui army was recruited temporarily, there are also soldiers who can fight. For example, the four thousand counties under the command of Mayi County Wang Rengong are elite soldiers. Yesterday's battle was like a mainstay, supporting the overall situation. Otherwise, the Sui army would have been defeated long ago. .

The battle is imminent, and the murderous atmosphere around is still real.

Li Chongjiu was dressed in light leather armor, carrying three stone bows and a long knife, and moved slowly with the army.

The good Turkic steed under his crotch swayed from left to right, rubbing the star-catching bows on the left and right leather pouches, and the eagle-feathered arrowheads mounted on the saddle of the horse were full of six large quiveres.

The flags with two-cornered swallowtails meandered, and the trumpets were blown one after another.

Li Chongjiu came to Li Shimin's side, Li Shimin, brother and sister Li Zhiwan looked solemn.

As the commander of hundreds of cavalry, Li Shimin needn't do much, and Li Zhiwan's hair was dripping with sweat, obviously she was almost out of breath because of the evil spirit of the hundreds of thousands of troops before the battle.

At this time, 20 Turkic cavalry also dispatched together, making a sound like thunder, and circled left and right.

Different from the formation of the Sui army, nomads have no established rules for their formation, and most of their tactics come from hunting on weekdays.The rangers seemed to be quite free and undisciplined, clustered in the east and clustered in the west, but when they heard the orders to mobilize, they were like a gust of wind, and the Turkic cavalry was better than the Sui army in individual combat.

Right now the Sui army is forming a formation, the Turkic people will never give the Sui army a chance to establish a position.

The left and right cavalry dispatched, obliquely inserting the Sui army's flanks.

All of a sudden, there was a scene of thousands of horses galloping in front of me. The Turkic people, a nation on horseback, displayed various riding skills on horseback.

After the horn, they heard the sound of arrows, and the Turkic cavalry in front whistled in unison and charged into the battle first.

The war horse bit the horse's chew repeatedly, and Li Chongjiu watched from left and right, when he suddenly heard a strange beat, and the soldiers in brown and yellow suits on the left and right suddenly seemed to be holding their breath.

The strong wind flies and the flags fly, and the big horn blows and sharpens swords and guns!
The big men of the Sui army on the left and right roared in unison, their faces flushed red.

First hundreds of people, then thousands, tens of thousands, the three armies shouted!
The sky is blue, the wild is vast, the blue sky is dome and the house is the hunting ground, the wind is roaring, the tiger and the eagle are flying!
Even Li Shimin and Li Zhiwan were no exception. The hundreds of thousands of children of the Sui army sang majesticly and unrestrainedly, piercing the sky.

This is the big horn song. From the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the men of the Han family inside and outside the pass sang this song. They broke through the gaps in Helan Mountain, attacked the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Gaochang.
The singing was majestic, Li Chongjiu was refreshed, and all the previous nervousness and worries were left behind.

At the moment of the war, Li Chongjiu looked at these sincere Sui men, and couldn't help but feel that compared with the country, personal gains and losses have nothing to do with it.

The singing continued, and Turkic wolf riders swarmed over.

"Prepare the bow and crossbow!"

"shoot!"

The war horses staggered, and the arrows rained like rain.

What a life-and-death battle.

In the direction of Fenyang Palace, the imperial guards of the Great Sui Dynasty still broke out to the foot of the mountain, but were intercepted by the Turks.

As in yesterday's battle, the Central Golden Wolf is under the banner, the Turkic Shibi Khan, and the affiliated army are still not moving.

In fact, the 20 Turks are divided into three parts, Fuli, Control String, and Tuojie.

Fuli, which means wolf in Turkic, is the Khan's retinue, the Ashina family's personal soldiers, the most elite.

In the Turkic army, only attached to leave is allowed to wear iron armor, the rest are not.

There are few attached soldiers, no more than 20 people, and the control string is the main body of the [-] Turkic army just now, and the control string is composed of Turkic herdsmen and soldiers from the vassal tribe.

The leader of the vassal tribe, Hao Jin or Jie Lifa, has Tutun and other official positions below him. In order to manage the various tribes in the grassland, the Turkic Khan was appointed by special service children from the Ashina clan, and even Xiao Kehan ​​took control of the command.

For example, the Turks called the East Tuli, and set up Turkic Khans in the east from time to time to assist the Turkic Khans and govern tribes such as Xi and Khitan.

And Tuojie is the Hu people in the eyes of the Turks, such as the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the Western Regions, and even attached to the Han tribe of the Turks.

Although there are not many Tuojies, they are also very resistant to battle.Right now, the two armies are fighting, and the Turkic cavalry composed of Kongxian and Tuojie are like a strong wind, sweeping towards the Sui army.

PS: It is recorded in the official annals of the Tang Dynasty that the soldiers in the government usually practice riding and shooting, and sing big horn songs.
