Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 419 Destroying the Enemy
Since the Turkic siege of Lingzhou City, the Tang army led by Zhu Dagui has never confronted the Turkic soldiers.

Even, they never went out of the city to fight the Turks.

What they want is to defend Lingzhou City and consume the Turkic soldiers and horses to death.

Now, just after Li Jing arrived, he was going to attack the enemy camp at night, which was not advisable in Zhu Dagui's opinion.

"Marshal serious?"

Li Jing nodded: "The commander has received the news that the Turkic follow-up troops will arrive at the city of Lingzhou in two days, so we must take advantage of the arrival of the Turkic reinforcements to severely damage the first wave of Turkic troops. If they have not gone out of the city to fight with them, they must have been negligent in defending at night, if they do not attack the camp at this time, when will they wait?"

Before Li Jing came, he had already grasped the Turkic news. In Li Jing's view, this was very necessary and very important.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

After Li Jing finished speaking, he no longer explained to Zhu Dagui, but only ordered: "Give me a hundred soldiers who are familiar with Turks."

Zhu Dagui hesitated for a moment, and could only give orders immediately.

After one hundred soldiers who were familiar with the Turks were assembled, Li Jing no longer hesitated, and led ten thousand soldiers straight to the Turkic camp. At the same time, the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded them. Surround the Turkic army camp.

The Tang army attacked at night and went on a rampage.

It has been more than a month since Turkic soldiers and horses attacked Lingzhou. In this month, the Tang army has never gone out of the city to fight them, let alone attack the camp.

Therefore, the defense of the Turkic soldiers and horses at night was very lax.

After the Tang army rushed in, the entire Turkic army camp was in chaos, so that many Turkic soldiers were helpless under the attack of the Tang army.

In other words, they were killed by Tang Jun before they had time to resist.

The Tang army rushed left and right in the barracks. The Turks had no formation at all, and they didn't have much resistance at all. The screams and shouts rang out in the entire barracks.

"kill……"

"kill……"

The Tang Jun who came with Li Jing had already been trained by Li Jing very well on the way here, and now they attacked the camp as soon as they came, and they were so successful.

Blood was sprayed, and the Turkic soldiers fell one after another.

The spring breeze blows at night, and the smell of blood is a bit pungent.

The Turkic general who led the army was called Merck. When he rushed out of the camp, the entire Turkic camp was already in disarray.

"Don't mess around, what's going on?"

"General, the Tang army attacked the camp."

"Damn it, Tang Jun only has a few thousand people, what are you afraid of?"

"General, Datang's reinforcements are here. There are more than 1 people, and it seems that they won't let us go without killing us."

Hearing the arrival of Datang's reinforcements, Merke's whole body trembled. Ten thousand Tang troops are definitely not a small force. In such a chaotic situation, if they try to resist, they may suffer heavy losses.

I can only find a way to distance myself from Tang Jun, then start a formation, and then fight Tang Jun.

After thinking about it, Merck immediately ordered: "Retreat, retreat."

With an order, the Turkic soldiers and horses immediately retreated with food and grass, and retreated ten miles away from Lingzhou City.

The order was conveyed in the barracks, and those Turkic soldiers and horses had been killed by the Tang army long ago. At this moment, when they heard the retreat, their hearts were suddenly shocked, and they rushed to break through the encirclement.

It's just that when they broke through, they gave Tang Jun more opportunities.

"kill……"

Li Jing yelled angrily, and then rushed to kill again, Tang Jun was like a god of killing, the Turkic soldiers he killed neither fought nor fled.

On Merck's side, they led the soldiers and horses to flee, but as soon as they escaped from the barracks, another Tang army came in front of them. This Tang army probably had more than 1 soldiers and horses. It was magnificent and unprecedented.

"kill……"

Tang Jun, the leader of the army, shouted, and [-] Tang Jun rushed to kill them immediately, blocking the way of the Turks.

"Go to Xiying!"

Merck went to the West Camp with his soldiers and horses, leaving thousands of soldiers and horses here.

But when they went to Xiying, another [-] Tang troops were immediately ushered in to Xiying.

"kill……"

When the two armies met, Tang Jun charged forward without saying a word.

The Turkic soldiers and horses were already panicked, but when they encountered such a Tang army at this time, how could they have the ability to fight?

"Go to Beiying!"

Merck led the troops to the North Camp, but on the North Camp side, there were still Tang troops standing guard, waiting for them.

There were Tang troops around the entire Turkic camp, and the [-] elite Tang troops led by Li Jing were even more rampant inside, and the Turkic wailing was heard.

The intensity of the blood spray was unprecedented.

Seeing that they were surrounded by the Tang army, Merke was extremely terrified. He never thought that the Tang army would suddenly attack the camp at night, and he didn't even know how the Tang army came so early.

His spies came to report that it would take at least a day for the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty to arrive, and when they withdrew today, there was no movement of the Tang army.

He may have been deliberately confused by Tang Jun.

The feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and Merck knew that this was a moment of life and death, and a choice had to be made.

"Call all the soldiers and horses, and follow me to break out from the northern camp, with only a little dry food."

Food and grass must not be taken care of, and it is good to be alive now.

With an order, the Turkic soldiers swarmed towards the North Camp, and they still had [-] soldiers.

The Turkic [-] soldiers and horses, the momentum is still acceptable, the Tang general guarding the northern camp saw the Turkic killing, and said without ambiguity: "Kill!"

Tang Jun came, and the Tang Jun behind also began to shrink the encirclement at this time, attacking the Turkic soldiers and horses from behind.

World War I, Tianming.

Merck finally broke out with soldiers and horses, but at this time, he only had [-] soldiers and horses left. He brought [-] soldiers and horses, and he had almost captured Lingzhou City.

But in the end last night, it fell short and was completely defeated.

When the spring sun came down, the Turkic army camp was littered with corpses, and the smell of blood filled the air. At some point, there was fog, and it was so cold that people shivered.

Li Jing achieved a great victory overnight, and rushed to Lingzhou City with his troops. At the same time, someone had already started to clean up the battlefield.

Zhu Dagui has already learned the result of the battle last night, and this result is absolutely impossible to achieve in a direct confrontation. The physique of the Turkic soldiers and horses is much better than that of their Datang people. There are some advantages in combat methods.

But in a real frontal charge, the casualties of both sides are definitely the same.

But last night, Li Jing unexpectedly wiped out only [-] Turkic troops, and the Tang army did not lose much. This kind of tactics is really satisfying.

For a moment, Zhu Dagui admired Li Jing extremely.

"Marshal, last night, the last general offended you so much, please forgive me." Seeing Li Jing's ability, Zhu Dagui naturally didn't dare to take it too seriously.
