Man Tanghong

The battle of Baima was over. Not only Baimaling, his family and clan were captured, but Jieli’s son Dielozhi and several chiefs under his command were also captured, along with more than 9000 Turkic soldiers and horses. .

Now Die Luo Zhi and several chiefs under his command are being escorted by Hou Junji's trilogy, rushing here.

The remaining more than 9000 soldiers and horses have been broken into parts and arranged to be reformed through labor in the counties where they have ravaged.

As for whether they will survive after the transformation, it depends on how many crimes they have committed in the county where they are located.

If there are few crimes committed and the local people are kind, then the possibility of survival is very high.

If they committed a lot of crimes and the local people hated them extremely, then the hope of surviving may be slim.

However, this is not what the court should care about.

Now that the imperial court has distributed them to the counties and the common people, it is up to the common people how they treat them.

Is it impossible for the court to question its own people for the life and death of a group of captives?

This kind of thing has never happened in Datang, and it will never happen.

Now, Xieli should have received the news that the Turkic soldiers and horses in Maling, Baima, and Huachi were wiped out, and he should have mobilized heavy troops to Baijiapu.

So by the time Datang's troops arrived at Baijiapu, Jieli's heavy troops would probably be ready to fight.

"Have the scouts sent back any news about Baijiabao?"

Li Yuanji stared at Li Shimin and asked.

Li Shimin stared back at Li Yuanji in astonishment and said, "Aren't all the scouts under your command, Yu Wenbao, in charge? You ask me?"

Did you ask the wrong person?
Li Shimin had an expression of 'you took the wrong medicine'.

Li Yuanji smiled awkwardly: "I was only thinking about the fate of Bai Ma Ling, and forgot about it."

After saying this, without giving Li Shimin a chance to mock him, he immediately greeted him: "Yuwenbao!"

Yu Wenbao hurriedly rode his horse forward, and said in a very doggy way: "The minister is here!"

Li Yuanji asked: "Where is your scout now? You can find news about Baijiabao!"

Yu Wenbao bared his teeth and said with a smile: "I just got the news that the first scouts I sent out have arrived at Baijiabao and are watching from the side of Baijiabao."

Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao and said, "Just tell me the news you found."

Yu Wenbao hastily corrected his attitude, and said seriously: "According to the report from the scouts, Xieli sent his confidants Tuluo Subashi and Yang Zhengdao to lead an army of [-] troops to Baijiapu, and they have already started to attack Baijiapu. Armed."

Tuluo Subash, where Tuluo is the name and Subash is the official position.

Subashi means the leader of an army in Turkic, similar to the governor of the Tang Dynasty.

It is not a high-ranking official, but those who can hold such official positions in the Turkic tribes are generally the most trusted people of the Turkic Khan.

After all, the soldiers and horses of each tribe are under the control of the great chiefs of each tribe, and they are also controlled by the great chiefs of each tribe. Subash has no control over them at all, and only the soldiers and horses of the Turkic Khan's own tribe can control them.

If he is not a close friend of the Turkic Khan, he cannot hold such an important position.

"Eighty thousand troops?!"

Li Yuanji was shocked, and Li Shimin was also shocked.

Baijiapu is said to be a fort, but in fact it is a place similar to a town or a township. There are two prominent families and a market. Exchange the items needed in their respective homes, or buy daily necessities at home, such as salt or something.

This is also because of the mountainous roads in Gyeongju, and the roads are very difficult, and the people of each village have to walk for a long time to go to Maling City, so a market was spontaneously derived.

It is not a military important place, and there is only a small fort built when the former Sui army was stationed.

Not to mention 8 people, even [-] people are enough to fill that small fort to the brim.

Jieli dispatched 8 people in one breath to defend a small fort, and he didn't know what to defend.

"It seems that we are about to fight the Turks outside Baijiabao?"

Li Yuanji subconsciously sighed.

Li Shimin said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Baijiabao, we will start a war with the Turks."

Li Yuanji thought about it for a while, and it really happened.

Turkic soldiers and horses are almost all cavalry, so it is impossible for them to stick to Baijiabao, and the small fortress of Baijiabao has nothing to defend, let alone take advantage of the cavalry.

So that man named Turo, and Yang Zhengdao, will definitely take the initiative to attack when they find the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty.

Either send cavalry to charge, or send cavalry to harass from the side.

In short, before the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty completely set up their army formations and before they arrived at Baijiabao, they could use the mobility of the cavalry to harass and surprise the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, this is the biggest advantage of the cavalry.

But once Datang's soldiers and horses have completely set up the army formation, it will be difficult for the cavalry to take advantage of it.

After all, when it comes to raids and assaults, cavalry is definitely the main force, but when it comes to face-to-face confrontations, infantry is the king.

As long as the infantry is given a battlefield, and the infantry is allowed to form an army formation, only the infantry can defeat the infantry head-on.

Of course, if you count firearms, it's another matter.

However, there were no firearms at this time.

Even if there was, it was only in Li Yuanji's mind.

Li Yuanji was not ready to take out the firearm yet.

Of course, the most important thing is that apart from the classic gunpowder formula, he doesn't know anything else, doesn't know how to make it.

For example, the manufacturing methods of various firearms in the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties are actually all available on the Internet in later generations, and you can find them with a search.

But these things are not really liked, not people who have this hobby, even if they see them, they will not deliberately remember them, let alone imitate them.

Therefore, the inability to create is also being cleaned up.

And some are more cumbersome and have a more delicate structure. If you don't study them well, you won't be able to imitate them even if they are imitated.

Li Yuanji didn't expect that he would time travel, let alone that he would travel to the Tang Dynasty and become the famous nest thorn king, so he didn't pay attention to these things at all, and he didn't remember them.

If he knew that he would time travel, he would definitely memorize these things firmly, and go through them a hundred times in his mind, and then spend the rest of his time studying hard in the first volume of the seventh grade, and all the books in the middle of the second volume of the ninth grade. political book.

If it is necessary to travel to ancient times, and you can only bring one thing, then you must bring political books.

This thing is really, really, really, more effective than any musket or cannon.

As long as you have learned it, understood it, and mastered it, then you are a god!

A god who lived in ancient times and was invincible.

It is more terrifying than what is more powerful than the overlord and brave and unparalleled.

"Let the whole army be on guard, ready to meet the disturbance of the Turks at any time. By the way, tell them that once they find the Turks probing their horses, or the Turks attack, they will all use their bows and crossbows, and they must not hold back their hands."

Just when Li Yuanji was annoyed that he didn't study politics well, Li Shimin had already started to take orders.

Yu Wenbao didn't look at Li Yuanji again, but agreed disrespectfully, and went down to deliver the order.

When the army was fifty miles away from Baijiabao, the Turks appeared.

There were more than 30 people led by a guy with spikes hanging around his neck. After seeing Datang's soldiers and horses stretching for several miles, they turned around and ran away decisively.

But five were shot dead.

There will be more Turkic people on the road ahead, some came to spy, some came to block, some came to sneak attack, and some of them were unconscious or amusing and ambushed halfway.

Except for the spies who managed to escape after losing some people, the rest were basically shot.

The worst victims are those who ambushes on the way.

Datang's scouts squatted beside them from the moment they discovered them until they started to ambush them. When Datang's soldiers arrived, Yu Wenbao led a group of people up, and forced them from behind. All cut.

Everyone probably didn't know how they were discovered until they died, let alone how Datang's soldiers and horses got behind them.

Thirty miles away from Baijiabao, the number of Turkic people blocking and attacking began to increase. From the beginning, there were only a dozen people, but now there were hundreds of people.

Moreover, the number of blocking and sneak attacks has increased, and the ability has also increased.

Basically, they cleared the Tang scouts on the road, or bypassed them, and then rushed out suddenly, disrupting the marching process of the Tang soldiers and horses, and then retreated quickly.

Li Shimin's original plan to rush to the [-]th Li point of Baijiabao was abruptly dragged by them to the [-]th Li point.

After dark, Li Shimin ordered the army to set up camp on the spot, and then gathered all the generals and schools in the big tent of the Chinese army.

After everyone arrived, Li Shimin was shocked when he opened his mouth.

"If my predictions are correct, the Turks will still attack tonight, and it will be more rampant than during the day."

Xie Shufang pondered and said: "You mean, let us send more people to guard the camp?"

Li Shimin shook his head resolutely and said: "It's not about guarding the camp, but everyone don't sleep, put on their armor, and wait in the big tent. If I expected it to be true, the Turkic people would feign attacks in the previous few sneak attacks tonight, and make a fuss." Make a lot of noise, and after we relax our vigilance, they will send at least [-] soldiers to attack us."

Xie Shufang was stunned for a moment, and carefully read Li Shimin's words.

Li Deliang coughed and said: "If the Turkic people want to sneak attack us at night, they have to abandon their horses. Without their horses, their strength will be reduced by half. Even if they do calculations with their hearts or their minds, they won't be able to win.

We don't have to be all on guard, do we?

If the Turks use the strategy of exhausting the enemy to exhaust our energy all the time, and then come out with all their strength, wouldn't we be defeated? "

Li Shimin said with a half smile: "Who told you that the Turkic people would abandon their war horses? The Turkic people would not take their troops ten miles or even five miles away to lurk.

After nightfall, they wrapped their horses' hooves and came to us quietly.

When the feint attackers harass us tirelessly, and then charge suddenly, what will we do to block it? "

Li Deliang frowned and said: "But if the Turks use the strategy of exhausting the enemy..."

Li Shimin didn't wait for Li Deliang to finish speaking, and said resolutely: "The Turkic people will not use the strategy of exhausting the enemy, unless Tuluo and Yang Zhengdao are so stupid that there is no cure."

Li Deliang's face turned blue when he was stunned.

Li Shimin insulted him like this in front of dozens of people, which made him very embarrassed.

"Then tell me, why don't the Turks use the strategy of exhausting the enemy?"

Li Deliang asked stubbornly.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Deliang and didn't bother to explain.

Li Deliang's face turned greener, but in the end Li Daoli couldn't stand it anymore, and said in a low voice, "If you want to use the strategy of exhausting the enemy, you have to do it at least three days in advance to be effective.

We are now only half a day away from Baijiabao. The Turkic people can only toss us for one night with the strategy of exhausting the enemy, which will not have much effect at all.

If they had harassed us when we first came out of Maling, it might have succeeded. "
