Man Tanghong

Chapter 696 The Outrageous Battle (44)

Following Li Jing's gaze, Ma Sanbao looked at the soldiers who were lighting fires and boiling water, and seeing those soldiers gathered together in small groups, stuffing handfuls of snow into the cauldron, he let out a long sigh. Did not speak again.

He knew very well that what Li Jing said was right. For those soldiers, floating wealth was their other half of life. Before their strength and spirit were completely exhausted, it was impossible for them to abandon floating wealth.

After all, for them, as long as they can still move and take away, they cannot give up.

"I'm going to kill the sheep..."

After Ma Sanbao sighed, he left the words helplessly and rushed to the herd of cattle and sheep.

The food and grass they brought had been exhausted when they arrived at the Turkic royal court, and now they eat cattle and sheep for two meals a day.

There are so many of them, and they have to eat dozens of sheep every meal, so it takes some time to kill the sheep.

Just when they killed sheep and cooked meat and soup.

Su Dingfang was also killing sheep, but only one sheep was killed, and after the killing was finished, it was baked on a blazing bonfire. Luo Shixin took a small knife and kept making cuts on the sheep one after another. So that the lamb can be heated evenly.

"If you want to say that mutton is eaten, it has to be cooked to be the most enjoyable. It always feels less delicious when roasted."

Yin Kaishan sat on one side of the bonfire and baked a piece of naan bread with a knife, and said with emotion while baking.

Su Dingfang didn't answer Yin Kaishan's words, but instead asked, "Where's the county king?"

Yin Kaishan curled his lips, and said in a somewhat dispirited way: "The king of the county is still in Dabin..."

Su Dingfang frowned and said, "Where is Li Daozong?"

Yin Kaishan glanced at Su Dingfang, took off the naan bread sticking on the knife, took a tasteless bite, and said in a neutral manner: "Still guarding the place His Highness asked him to guard..."

Su Dingfang was a little unhappy and said: "Didn't we let them lead the army to come here? We only have less than [-] soldiers here, which is not enough for the army of Suni Shi and Tuli.

Only with the help of the troops in their hands, can we completely wipe out the troops of Suni Shi and Tuli. "

Yin Kaishan's mouth was a little dry when he gnawed on the naan bread, and after taking a sip of the cold river water, he said angrily: "You think they are me, and they will listen to your orders?
Your Highness didn't appoint you as the general manager here, but let His Highness King Xiangyi take charge of the battlefield here.

It stands to reason that you should listen to His Royal Highness Xiangyi King, not let His Royal Highness Xiangyi listen to you. "

Su Dingfang couldn't refute Yin Kaishan's words, he frowned and said, "Now it's not a matter of who listens to whom, but we have the chance to wipe out all the troops of Suni Shi and Tuli when we get together."

Yin Kaishan signaled Luo Shixin to brush a little oil on the sheep quickly, or it would dry out. After Luo Shixin started to oil the sheep, he said unhurriedly: "Aren't there still soldiers and horses from the Twelve Guards? The state blocked the retreat of Sunisuo and Tuli. Even if we couldn't annihilate their soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, we could continue to nibble away and eventually wipe them all out.

It just takes more time. "

Su Dingfang took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "It would be great if things were as simple as you said. We are surrounded by Er Que Er now. Suni Shi and Tuli can't go east or west, but they can go south north.

They probably won't choose Xiangnan, so after they are defeated, they will definitely flee north.

I asked King Xiangyi and Li Daozong to lead the army to block their gap to the north.

If they don't come, Suni Shi and Tuli will definitely escape from the north.

At that time, we will not be able to do our best in this battle.

This is not what His Highness wants to see. "

Yin Kaishan opened his mouth, and said helplessly, "Don't tell me these things. If you tell me, I can't be the king of Xiangyi and Li Daozong. You should tell them."

Su Dingfang frowned all of a sudden, and said nothing.

Luo Shixin has been concentrating on the barbecue, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

He is a fierce general, a brave general, not a wise general. He is good at small-scale formations, but he is still lacking in large-scale deployments and formations.

So he left all the formation and layout to Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang has decided on the layout, and he just needs to execute it.

He believed in Su Dingfang's brain, and also believed that Su Dingfang would not cheat him.

Just as the mutton was about to be roasted, scouts from the army arrived.

"Three generals, the Turks seem to be preparing to withdraw their troops..."

Su Dingfang stood up immediately, and without waiting for Yin Kaishan to ask a question, he made a judgment, "It should be Li Jing's side that succeeded, and Jieli will give up opening the second door, shrink all the troops, and fight His Highness and the others to the death. "

"Then we..."

Yin Kaishan questioned.

Su Dingfang didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said decisively: "You and Shi Xin lead people to outflank from the left and right, and I lead the Chinese army to penetrate directly into their henchmen, hoping that the soldiers and horses of the twelve guards can be useful.

Otherwise we have to go after Gyeongju.

This is not a good thing for us. "

The soldiers and horses in Suizhou have been fighting the Turks for more than half a month, and they are all exhausted. If they chase after a long journey, many people will definitely fall on the road and even suffer major injuries.

After all, it was freezing cold, and the roads were not easy to walk, and the roads in Sui, Yan, and Qing prefectures were also very rough.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty pursued the horses when they were exhausted, and if they were not careful, they would fall off their horses. If they were running on a mountain road, falling off their horses would mean death, and they could not be rescued.

This kind of damage could have been avoided, but Li Shenfu and Li Daozong were unwilling to come over. If the soldiers and horses of the twelve guards were useless and could not stop the Turks from retreating, then this kind of damage would have to be borne.

"I haven't eaten the meat yet..."

Seeing that Su Dingfang was leaving Luo Shixin's roasted and crispy mutton and was about to leave, Yin Kaishan couldn't help shouting.

Su Dingfang turned around and glared at Yin Kaishan, and said angrily: "What time is it, are you still thinking about meat?"

Yin Kaishan said in embarrassment: "Don't eat and waste..."

Su Dingfang said viciously: "Then take it and eat while driving!"

"okay!"

Yin Kaishan readily agreed, went up and cut off a sheep's hind leg, took it and left.

Su Dingfang stared at Yin Kaishan's back, opened his mouth several times, but didn't say a word.

Luo Shixin silently cut off two lamb legs for himself, and packed the rest for Su Dingfang to take.

Su Dingfang looked at the big meat bag that Luo Shixin's trilogy handed to him, and became even more speechless.

"Wang Xuance?! Where's Wang Xuance?!"

After Luo Shixin left, Su Dingfang raised his neck and drank loudly.

However, there was no response for a long time. After asking Buqu, I found out that Wang Xuance, the dog day, took a group of youngsters to fight Caogu again.

It is said to be grass valley, but in fact it is to hunt and kill the Turkic people who are alone, or to raid the place where the Turkic people store their cattle and sheep.

In more than half a month, Wang Xuance and other youngsters have beheaded more than 100 Turkic heads and looted thousands of cattle, sheep and war horses.

Although their record is far inferior to that of Hebei Dao, when they were in Hebei Dao, they had tens of thousands of people under their command, but when they arrived in Suizhou, they only had five people left.

It is already quite remarkable for five people to be able to achieve such a big gain while wandering outside the battlefield for more than half a month.

"This group of little bastards is really worrying!"

Su Dingfang cursed loudly, mounted his horse and returned to the camp of the Chinese army.

Regarding the whereabouts of Wang Xuance's youngsters, he was too lazy to investigate carefully, and he didn't have time to investigate carefully.

Su Dingfang returned to the camp of the Chinese army, and immediately led all the soldiers in the camp to march to the place where the Turks were stationed.

For more than half a month, the people who followed him made a lot of credit, and the people who followed him also knew that they could get a lot of credit by following him, so even if they were exhausted and exhausted, when they heard that they were going to kill Turks When he was alone, he still lifted his spirits, stepped on the horse, and followed him aggressively to kill him.

The army turned a corner at Yanchuankou and entered Yanzhou.

At the same time, the troops led by Yin Kaishan and Luo Shixin also entered Yanzhou.

Sunishi and Tuli already knew about the attack on the Turkic royal court. It was okay for Sunishi to be defeated. He separated from Jieli a long time ago. The court was attacked, and he didn't have much reaction.

In fact, Tuli is the same, he also separated from Jieli, and his lair is also far away from the royal court, so he shouldn't have cared about the surprise attack on the royal court.

But after receiving Jieli's order to withdraw their troops, he ran faster than a rabbit, and he didn't stop people from stopping Su Dingfang and the others, and he didn't retreat in an orderly manner, just leading people to Gyeongju in a swarm.

The reason why he rushed to Gyeongju so anxiously was because he had a strange heart.

The royal court was attacked, and the Southern Expedition seemed to be on the brink of failure, and Jieli's prestige in the hearts of the chiefs of the tribes would be greatly reduced.

If Xieli did some unpopular things at this time, then the great chiefs of various tribes would definitely have different opinions, question the correctness of Xieli's southern expedition, and oppose Xieli.

This is an opportunity for him, a chance to take back the position of Great Khan that should belong to him.

As long as he sits on the position of Great Khan, he no longer needs to be oppressed by Xieli, and can bully Xieli in turn.

The resentment and murderous anger accumulated over the years can also be vented in one breath, and it can also be vented on Xieli, so that Xieli can also know how he has lived these years.

However, it was his disorderly, unorganized and undisciplined retreat that gave Su Dingfang and the others a great opportunity.

The three of them didn't need to make more arrangements at all, nor did they need to push forward steadily, and they didn't need to waste their brains. They only needed to bite Tuli and not let go, biting off a piece of flesh from him from time to time.
