The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 918 Seven hundred and seven: The battle between the two armies is difficult on the sands

Duan Wuji had already been informed about the changes in the Turkic military camp.

Duan Wuji is waiting for an opportunity to prepare for the decisive battle, can he not spread his eyes and ears around the Turkic army?
Knowing that a group of Turks had returned to Daying, Duan Wuji immediately invited Chai Shao and Su Dingfang over.

Duan Wuji smiled and told them: "Old friends, I have received news that a Turkic cavalry has entered the Turkic camp.

I guess this is the return of another team transporting grain and grass.

Since they haven't brought food and grass, I think they will withdraw their troops tonight.

In order to prevent them from running away smoothly, I have already made a decision.

Tonight, our three-way army will be exhausted, and we will start a decisive battle with them.

Whether it succeeds or not depends on the battle tonight. "

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Marshal Duan, is your judgment accurate?
But don't make any mistakes in the information! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"If there is a mistake, I am the marshal of this army. Except for the mistakes, I will take care of them myself and have nothing to do with you.

I said Brother Chai, the Turkic army is indeed hundreds of thousands, and the fighting power is not too weak.

But we also have a lot of troops!

Both of you have an army of [-] men, although my men are relatively small.

However, this is also an army of [-].

Together, our army has more than 20 troops.

You said that little Turkic people, what are you afraid of them? "

Hearing what Duan Wuji said, Chai Shao fell silent.

Su Dingfang looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "I said brother! When do you think we should send troops?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "After you go back, immediately order the soldiers to finish their meal and gather immediately after dinner.

Then quietly pull your army out of the pass, and when you find that the enemy's army has moved, then you start to lead the army to hunt them down. "

Su Dingfang listened and nodded.

"Marshal Duan, I understand what you mean.

If the enemy's army does not move, then I will not attack, I will lie in ambush.

Once the enemy's army moves, I will go to war immediately. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well! That's what I mean, Marshal Su, I can tell you that you must not leave too many troops at home, did you hear clearly?"

"Yes, Marshal Duan, brother, I just follow orders!

Since this is the case, then I will leave, and I will prepare to go back when I go back. "

After finishing speaking, Su Dingfang hurriedly came out from the big tent, went to the outside of the gate, got on his horse, beat the horse and ran straight to his army.

Chai Shao said with a smile: "Brother, now that we have made a decision.

Then I'm ready to prepare too. Whether I can win or not depends on tonight's battle. "

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "It's still early, you gather all your main generals, I want to hold a meeting for them."

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"Marshal Duan, my good brother, if you do this pre-war mobilization, then I will be relieved.

I immediately beat the drums and gathered the generals to gather them all. "

Chai Shao shouted loudly towards the outside: "Come here! Beat the drums and gather the generals."

With the sound of the three-way drum, all the generals came in one after another. Everyone saw that Duan Wuji was sitting in the middle, and Chai Shao was sitting on the side.

The generals didn't know what was going on, they saluted Duan Wuji one after another, after the salute, these people stood on both sides.

Duan Wuji looked at these generals and said: "Generals, we are going to fight tonight.

After the accounts are disbanded for a while, you have to prepare seriously. The big battle tonight will be a life-and-death battle.

I hope you all fight the enemy bravely!

When you go back, you have to notify the soldiers as soon as possible, and let them prepare in advance.

There is nothing else, I think let's break up the accounts! "

It's just such a few short sentences, and after finishing speaking, there is nothing wrong.

When the generals heard this, they immediately left the big tent. Chai Shao had already assigned the soldiers to them several days in advance.

These officials hurried back to inform their soldiers to go!To avoid panic because of time constraints, if that is the case, it would be bad.

Say hello to them in advance, and their hearts will be much more at ease.

Duan Wuji saw that nothing was wrong, he hurriedly left Chai Shao's big tent and walked towards his army.

Duan Wuji returned to his big tent, and immediately called all his generals in, and then Duan Wuji told the generals the news of the decisive battle with the Turkic people tonight.

Let them eat the battle meal early and prepare for the expedition in advance.

At the same time, let them tell their soldiers brothers the news, and let them have a mental preparation in advance.

These generals understood what Duan Wuji meant, and they were mentally prepared immediately.

Duan Wuji didn't talk nonsense, and ended the meeting after giving orders.

The generals walked out of the big tent and immediately notified their soldiers to go.

All of a sudden, the barracks became tense and busy.

When the sun went down, several armies of the Tang Army were busy. The soldiers and generals were all doing the most preparatory work before the battle, just waiting for the marshal's order to get ready to go.

Duan Wuji summoned Chai Shao and Su Dingfang again, and then held a final meeting to make the battle arrangements for tonight.

Duan Wuji pointed to the map and said: "Brother Su, in this battle tonight, you attack the enemy from the rear, remember, don't let the enemy escape to the northeast direction.

If the enemy is running in the northeast direction, they must be held back, and if they are running in the west, then follow them and chase them down!

Brother Chai, the two armies of you and me are ambushing at this position. This position is relatively open, which is suitable for large-scale warfare!

When Brother Su's army catches up to this position, we will hunt them down from both sides.

We don't seek total victory, but we must launch the most deadly blow to them, as long as we can kill the most of their personnel.

Let my brethren remember, when war begins, shoot them first with bows and arrows if possible.

Then we attack them again.

This location seems to be called Golden Beach.

After this battle, I believe that the Turkic Kingdom is not far from being destroyed. "

The two listened and nodded.

"Marshal Duan, we will do whatever you tell us to do!"

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"It's getting dark now, well, let's stop talking nonsense, let's all get in line and set off immediately.

I think that when the enemy set off, it must be at the time of the watch watch. They are afraid that they will leave early and be discovered by us, which will not be of any benefit to them.

When we leave now, we must not make a big fanfare, we must act quietly.

This is in our favor. "

The two listened and nodded.

"Marshal Duan, since that's the case, then the two of us will go to the team."

After the three parted, Duan Wuji returned to his army, immediately assembled the army, quietly left the gate, and went straight to the ambush ahead.

At this moment, the sun had just set, and Chai Shao didn't dare to sit still when he saw how fast Duan Wuji was moving!

The army led by Chai Shao also quietly left the customs, and also headed for the ambush site agreed in advance.

Now the big camp of Naxieli Khan is really in chaos. These Turkic people seem to be out of food now. If they go to Naxi Turkic, they still have thousands of miles to go!Whether they can rush over smoothly, no one dares to say this!

These Turks now have no other choice but to adopt this desperate method.

The last bit of food that was left was cooked by them, and they took everything except food with them.

Seeing that the time was running out, Jieli Khan immediately said loudly, "Brothers, it's getting late now.

It's also fortunate that those Tang soldiers didn't know our movements, otherwise, they would definitely hunt us down.

Brothers, let's stop talking nonsense, open the shaft gate, and let's set off immediately.

If those Tang Jun find out that we have left quietly tomorrow, let them regret it! "

Ah!It's all up to now, and this Jieli Khan is still talking sarcasticly.

These Turkic people had long thought of running away, and when they heard that they were now fleeing westward, they rushed out of the barracks at top speed.

These Turkic people also know that time is life, and time is the probability of survival!Once being chased by the enemy, those who fall behind will die!

Once the hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops rushed out of the camp, no one would care about anyone else.

These people panicked like bereaved dogs, confused like fish caught in the net, and immediately rushed towards the west, pointing to the west.

Su Dingfang had been watching from behind for a long time, and when he saw that the Turkic had already left the camp, he immediately gave the order to pursue. The [-] army under the leadership of Su Dingfang immediately chased him down.

The distance between the two armies was more than one mile. At first, the Turks didn't know that there were pursuers behind them. When the cavalry behind found out that there were pursuers behind them, those Tang troops were already very far away from them. near.

The Turkic people behind were so scared that they rode their horses and galloped forward at a high speed, while shouting loudly: "Brothers, run quickly! The Tang army behind is catching up!

Once it falls into their hands, it will definitely die! "

The shout spread far away, and the Turkic cavalry in front heard it a long time ago. These people have no intention of fighting anymore, and just want to leave here quickly and escape as soon as possible.

To be honest, these Turkic cavalry can run so fast!

It is not an easy task to catch up with them!

After this chase, they ran out for about twenty miles. These Turkic people were running forward when suddenly two arrows sounded from the left and right sides in front of them.

Duan Wuji and Chai Shao led the army and rushed over.

"Kill it! Don't let these Turkic people escape."

Seeing that there were chasing soldiers and two more armies approaching from the front, Jieli Khan knew that the situation was really not good.

Jieli Khan shouted desperately: "Brothers, don't be afraid, the two armies are fighting, and the brave will win!

Everyone will be fine if they rush out. If they stay here to fight Tang Jun, it will be a dead end!

Let's go!

Let's kill it! "

Now these Turkic people have no choice but to rush forward desperately.

The Tang army on both sides formed a siege to the Turkic people, and shot bows and arrows at the Turkic people one after another. Suddenly, the arrows rained down, and the Turkic people fell from their horses one after another.

Now this Turkic man has become a frightened bird, and his desire to fight has dropped to freezing point.

Facing the pursuit of Tang Jun, their greatest desire is to break out of the siege, kill a bloody road and escape.

However, the Tang Jun on both sides was not a vegetarian, and the Tang Jun in the brigade started besieging and killing the Turkic people from both sides.

With just a moment of dazed effort, Su Dingfang's army has already caught up.

Su Dingfang's army attacked the Turkic people from behind, and the Turkic people behind were really unlucky.

There are countless people killed by Su Dingfang's army.

Duan Wuji led the troops and rushed into the Turkic people, it was like no man's land, when he met his Turkic soldiers, he just saw him face to face, and he beat him off his horse with a big stick.

The dead bodies of these Turkic people fell from the horse one after another. When these Turkic people saw that Wuji was so powerful, many people avoided him one after another.

In the blink of an eye, there were no less than 80 or [-] Turkic people killed by Duan Wuji!

However, the number of these Turks is too many, and this army of hundreds of thousands is also a force that is very capable of fighting.

These Turkic people rushed forward desperately while avoiding the pursuit of the Tang army.

Tang Jun chased and killed them for more than [-] miles. Seeing that they could not catch up, they called for gold and withdrew their troops.

In the battle of Golden Beach, Tang Jun won a complete victory, and no less than 10,000+ Turkic people died under Tang Jun's hands.

Duan Wuji ordered in a loud voice: "Clean the battlefield, catch all these army horses, and take them back to us, and reward them according to their merits."

As soon as these soldiers heard the order issued by Wuji, they chased the Turkic horses one after another. These people also knew that once the Turkic horses were caught, it meant that they would get a reward of one tael of silver!

Tang Jun had been busy at night until the sun came out before he cleaned up the battlefield.

The total number of horses obtained by these three armies is no less than 10,000+!

Duan Wuji saw that the battle had been won, but he was overjoyed.

The three armies set up a big camp on the spot, counting the spoils they got.

The statistics came out quickly, Duan Wuji's army got 540 two horses, Chai Shao's army got 820 four horses, Su Dingfang's army got 190 three horses war horse.

After this great war, the number of Turkic deaths was as high as 10,000+!

These dead bodies are everywhere, and the death conditions are miserable, so don't mention it.

It can be said that the battle of Golden Beach has determined that the Northern Turkic country is doomed to go extinct.

This is the battle with the largest number of Turkic casualties since the start of the war.

The current Turkic country is already riddled with holes. If the country is to be seen again on such a site, it will take a long time to recover.

After the war ended, Duan Wuji immediately ordered someone to write a letter to Li Shimin, reporting the situation of the battle here, and reporting the number of casualties of the enemy and ourselves.

In such a large-scale war, both the enemy and the enemy died a lot!

It's just that the Tang army waited for work with ease, and the casualty rate was lower.
