Chapter 91 Turkic defeat
"Dingfang, if you are faced with such a situation, how should you break the formation?" Li Ke looked at the plight of the Turkic soldiers on the other side of the river and asked Su Dingfang beside him.

At present, Su Dingfang's name is not well known in the world, and he can even be said to be a nobody in front of Li Jing, Li Ji, Hou Junji, Qin Shubao and other veterans in the army, but Li Ke knows that Su Dingfang's future will never be just a marriage of the king of Shu Dianjun is so simple.

In the future, after the founding fathers such as Li Jing and Li Ji passed away one after another, Su Dingfang would hold half the sky of the Tang military.

Su Dingfang looked into Li Ke's eyes without any hint of a joke, obviously he was asking him sincerely.

Su Ding, on the other hand, didn't dare to be hasty when facing Li Ke. After thinking for a while, he solemnly replied: "It's not difficult to break Xue Yantuo's formation. There are two ways: first, raise troops in the front and dismount the horses." , Shoot sharp arrows at each other, drag Xue Yantuo's men and horses, and then surround them with light cavalry, and go straight to the person holding the horses behind Xue Yantuo's formation, and you can break them."

The weakness of Xue Yantuo's formation is not the pawns who change from cavalry to steps, but the person who is behind the pawns, if he uses light cavalry to go around and breaks the person holding the horse, Xue Yantuo's formation will be broken by itself.

Li Ke understood Su Dingfang's words, nodded his head, but then said: "This is a river valley, and it's not easy to go around. This method may not work. What is the second method for Dingfang?"

Su Dingfang replied: "The second is to win ten guilds with one force. Raise the horse and charge with heavy cavalry to force Xue Yantuo's arrow formation from the front. The pawns are hard to withstand the impact of heavy cavalry. This formation must be broken."

Xue Yantuo's arrow formation is better against light cavalry, but if facing a heavy cavalry in iron armor, the arrows cannot penetrate, then Xue Yantuo's formation is meaningless, and he can only flee.

Li Ke said to Su Dingfang: "Heavy cavalry? The Turks are barren, and they don't even have enough swords, guns and arrows. How can they have the spare energy to build heavy cavalry? I think Tang is richer than the Turks, and the power of a country can only be a heavy armored cavalry." Ten thousand, and my father's Xuanjia army is even more costly, and the Turks probably won't be able to get it together."

Heavy armored cavalry is no better than light cavalry, and building heavy armored cavalry is a costly business. The requirements for armor, horses, and soldiers of heavy armored cavalry are far higher than those of light cavalry.

Last year Turkic just suffered heavy snow, people can't eat enough, where's the spare energy to build heavy cavalry?

"In this way, today's battle against the Turks may be difficult." Li Ke whispered to Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang said: "Unless the Turks have a backup, even if the Turks win today, it will be a miserable victory. I am afraid that they will have no energy left to continue their conquest."

Xue Yantuo's formation was invincible to the Turks. After such a long time, only casualties were added. If this continues, even if the Turks finally break Xue Yantuo's formation, it is hard to say how many of Xieli's four fine cavalry will be left. up.

As Su Dingfang said, if there were no miracles, today's battle would be extremely difficult for the Turks, but shortly after Su Dingfang finished speaking, a miracle really happened, but this time the miracle did not stand on the side of Jieli, but rather It was on Xue Yantuo's side.

Desire Valley has failed.

The 10 army, and the [-] Huihe elite cavalry led by the leader of the Huihe Bodhisattva, fought in Malushan. He was defeated and fled all the way west.

When Jieli heard the news, he froze on the spot and couldn't digest it for a while.

How did Yugu set up a [-]-strong army to lose to Huihe so quickly?

The authorities are confused by the onlookers, and Xie Li will not understand it for a while, but Li Ke understands it.

Last year, it snowed heavily, and Jieli forcibly expropriated food and grass from various Turkic tribes. In the end, although Jieli's Khan Court recovered, the vitality of the Turkic tribes was severely damaged.

After this incident, Jieli's prestige in Turkic has been greatly reduced. Under such circumstances, Jieli conscripted troops from various Turkic tribes after the beginning of spring.

There is a saying in the art of war: "One vigorous effort, then it weakens, and three times it exhausts."

The morale of the [-] allied troops under Yugushi's command has been exhausted to the extreme before they set off, how can they fight hard.

The generation of Malu Mountain was originally the territory of Huihe. Huihe was very familiar with the terrain, and the Turkic soldiers who fought this time were not the Turkic soldiers when they ran across Mobei. The current Turkic soldiers are scattered sand. It dissipated easily.

When the two armies fought, the Turkic soldiers fled to the ground as soon as they were frustrated for a while, and fell to the ground. Where did they have the confidence to fight to the end, the Turkic soldiers would surely lose in the end.

When Li Ke heard the news of Yugu's defeat, Li Ke already knew that Jieli had lost the battle.

Xieli on the left could not take down Xue Yantuo for a long time, while Yugushe on the right had already fled in defeat.

It is also fortunate that Xieli's subordinates are his four elites. If those Turkic men and horses, I am afraid that they have fled and disappeared by now.

"Khan, Yugushe has already been defeated. This battle can no longer be fought. If the fight continues, the situation will be in danger when the Huihe people come back." After receiving the news of Yugushe's defeat, Xieli Ashina Simo immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and said to Jie Li.

Although Xieli is a khan, he has fought for many years. He is naturally clear about this common sense on the battlefield, but he looks at Xue Yantuo's soldiers on the other side of the river, and he feels very unwilling.

This time when he went north to fight Tiele, Xieli mobilized almost [-]% of the Turkic army. In the battle of Malushan, the Turkic army had already lost [-]%. If he retreated this time, what would he use to conquer in the future? Tie Le.

Is it possible that the Tiele people are allowed to sit in Qibei like this, but he doesn't care?

Ashina Simo naturally also saw Xieli's entanglement, but this battle really couldn't be fought any longer.

Ashina Simo said: "Khan, if we retreat now, at least we can keep the elite of the four establishments. If we don't withdraw, I'm afraid our Turkic base will be completely lost in Qibei."

There is no fear of lack of firewood to keep the green hills. Although Xieli is not a Han Chinese, he still understands the truth.

Seeing the situation that had been frozen, Jieli finally gritted his teeth and said, "Send the order and the whole army retreats."

Then, after Xieli finished speaking, he looked at Li Ke again, and said, "Send someone to protect the third prince, and don't make any mistakes."

Xieli said it was to protect Li Ke, but in fact Li Ke knew very well that Xieli was just worried that he would escape in the chaos, so he sent people to closely monitor him.

Left and right Li Ke didn't expect to be able to escape in the Turkic army, so he pretended to thank Jie Li and retreated together.
