Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 822 Li Jing's Plan

Qin Tian's crisis was finally resolved.

And after they defeated Hiro's Turkic soldiers and horses, they did not rush to move on, but set up camp and prepared to rest before making plans.

The most important thing is to keep pace with Li Jing's troops.

And when they met the Turks, Li Jing and Qin Shubao's [-] Tang troops had already driven directly into the grassland.

The Tang army marched mightily on the grassland, approaching the Turkic king city.

And on the only way for the Tang army to go to the Turkic King City, in the Turkic Auer Grassland, the [-] Turkic army, led by Harry, was waiting in full force.

Early this morning, a spy came in a hurry.

"General, the Tang army is only fifty miles away from us. They will be able to arrive in two days."

Harry is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He is the leader of the Turkic Or tribe. He has more than 2 Turkic soldiers and horses. He is the most powerful tribe in western Turkic.

At this time, among his [-] troops, there were six or seven other Turkic tribes.

When the news came, the other tribal leaders suddenly became excited.

"Okay, finally Tang Jun is here. We want to fight Tang Jun and let them know how powerful we are."

"That's right, that's right, the Tang army has a lot of [-] soldiers and horses. One of our Turkic soldiers can beat two or three of them. They just entered the grassland like this, and they are simply sending them to death."

"Hahaha, if we kill them, we will rush straight into Datang, we want their treasures and their women..."

At this time, the leaders of these Turkic tribes did not know how powerful the Tang army was. They felt that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were still as weak as before, and they were not their Turkic opponents.

They also dreamed of killing all these soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and then plundering the Tang Dynasty.

However, while the other tribal leaders were excited, Harry was relatively cautious.

"Everyone, don't get too carried away. The marshal who leads the Tang army is Li Jing. He is still very good at using troops. We have to be careful."

Harry reminded everyone, but they didn't take it seriously.

"Don't worry, General Harry, we will tell Jun Tang to be more careful."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, they should be careful. We have so many soldiers and horses, and the cavalry adds up to [-]. Forty thousand cavalry, can't kill these Tang troops?"

They knew that Datang had only [-] cavalry, which was a lot, but compared with them, it was far behind.

As the crowd said this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Harry's mouth: "Okay, let the soldiers have a good rest these two days, and soon, we will have a battle with Tang Jun."

They discussed the strategy of the battle before finally retreating.

And when these things were discovered on the Orr Grassland, Li Jing and Qin Shubao were on their way quickly with a hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

"Marshal, in two days, we will meet the main forces of the Turks. How will we fight this battle?" Qin Shubao asked Li Jing curiously as he was on his way.

Qin Shubao is a fierce general with resourcefulness, but he is only a little stronger than Cheng Yaojin and the others. If he can be said to be a marshal alone, he is almost, at least not as strong as Li Jing. Therefore, in the battle to destroy the Turks, Li Jing is the marshal, and Qin Shubao is considered to be the marshal. his deputy.

However, in terms of rank, the current Qin Shubao is higher than Li Jing. Although Li Jing has military exploits, his military exploits at this time are not particularly high, not enough for him to be named Duke or something.

But this does not affect Li Jing becoming the Marshal of Datang.

Asked by Qin Shubao, Li Jing thought for a moment, and said: "We are evenly matched with the Turks in terms of the number of soldiers and horses. The Turks have more cavalry than us. Our advantage lies in the Tang Dao and Modao teams. If there is a decisive battle, I, Tang Jun, are [-]% sure that I can win, but fighting hard is not my style."

Speaking of this, Li Jing paused for a moment, and then continued: "I am going to set up a seven-kill formation at that time, to lure the Turkic cavalry into the formation, to destroy the Turkic cavalry first, and then kill the remaining soldiers and horses, it will be much easier gone."

Since the Turkic cavalry has enough advantages, they must first find a way to weaken the Turkic cavalry. As long as the Turkic cavalry is weakened, the next battle will naturally be much easier.

Li Jing told Qin Shubao about the situation of the Seven Killing Formation and his own ideas. After listening to it, Qin Shubao thought it was okay.

"Since the marshal has already made up his mind, let's do what the marshal said."

In terms of formation, naturally no one can compare to Li Jing.

Of course, only a [-] army like Li Jing and Qin Shubao can play with formations. For tens of thousands of people like Qin Tian, ​​formations are generally useless.

Before the Song Dynasty, every big battle in China would involve 10,000 + 10,000 +, or even more, so the current formations are all big formations. Only after the Ming and Qing Dynasties will there be some people with relatively small numbers For example, Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation is the kind that can be formed by dozens of people.

Now, Li Jing and the others can form formations, but Qin Tian and the others can't. Of course, it's not that they can't form formations.

After saying this, they made some preparations, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the Auer Grassland.

However, when they came to Auer Grassland, ten miles away from Harry's [-] troops, Tang Jun stopped.

They traveled a long distance, and they must have a rest before the battle. It is not good to be too close. Only after a night's rest can they go to fight the Turks the next day.

And the news quickly reached Harry.

"General, the Tang army has arrived, and they are only ten miles away from us. Shall we kill them and catch them off guard?"

It was afternoon when the Tang army set up camp. If the Turkic soldiers and horses really wanted to kill them, it was still possible. However, after thinking about it, Harry shook his head: "No hurry, if we rush over, it will be easy for the Tang army to wait for work." , They Tang Jun took the initiative to attack this time, obviously more anxious than us, we just wait here for them."

In Harry's view, killing them at this time would not bring them much advantage, so it would be better to wait for Tang Jun with ease.

The distance of ten miles does not take much time, nor does it consume much physical strength of the Tang army, but a slight difference in war may lead to different results. The distance of ten miles may be the key to victory or defeat.

In this way, the Turks naturally hope that they will be the one that decides the outcome. If they save some energy, they can persist for a longer time. It will be easier to defeat the Tang army at that time.

After Harry finished speaking, the other Turkic tribal leaders did not have any objections.
