The calculation does not distinguish between the court and the battlefield.
When Shi Bo Bi presented the knife to Li Zhiyun, he had thought of this strategy, but it had not been perfected at that time.
But now, the conditions are mature and it is completely feasible.
Li Zhiyun was not afraid of Jieli and refused to retreat, because he knew very well that Jieli's defense against Shibobi was the same as his defense against thieves. After Jieli knew that Taiyuan could not be captured in a short time, and because of Shibobi, he must not be interested in fighting.
This strategy is unsolvable unless Shibo Bi has no ambition.
Otherwise, Jie Li must have figured out that if he stayed in Taiyuan to fight against the Tang army, he would suffer heavy losses when he returned to the grassland. He could not say that he would definitely win against Shi Bo Bi.
More importantly, the Turks are a collection of tribes. Once Jieli's strength declines, who can guarantee that the Xue Yantuo, Hu tribe, and Tongluo tribes will not disappoint?
This vicious plan is similar to Jie Li's method of dealing with Li Shimin.
The difference is that Li Zhiyun acted as a conspiracy and openly threatened Jie Li. Jie Li, on the other hand, acted as a conspiracy and tricked Li Shimin to death with a few underlings within the Tang army.
In August, armies from both sides gathered to fight to the death at Chitang Pass.
Most of the wars in ancient times still had to be fought in blood until the end. Only when one party was unable to fight anymore could the final victory be achieved.
The flag of the Tang Dynasty was fluttering, and the cavalry and infantry were in purge. Facing the Turks, it was as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Every Tang soldier knew very well that in the stalemate to this day, victory or defeat depended on this.
Opposite them, the Turkic army is also preparing to attack. This is the last battle, and whoever wins will decide who owns Hedong Road.
It may even determine the offensive and defensive relationship in the next ten years.
This was the first time that Li Zhiyun independently commanded an army of hundreds of thousands.
Speaking of being nervous, it was a little bit more calm. He had already deduced it countless times with his generals before the battle. The chance of defeating Jie Li was not high, but Li Zhiyun was very confident of drawing him.
Su Lie secretly glanced at the young king on the general stage in the crowd, and his heart was full of enthusiasm. For the general, this kind of large-scale battle is the most crazy.
What's more, there are Turks on the opposite side.
"call."
Li Zhiyun breathed out softly and said: "Attack."
The sound was very soft, but it was the small raindrops falling before the heavy rain.
Boom boom boom boom!
The sound of beating drums exploded, the horses neighed and stirred, and the knights' blood boiled.
"The great emperor issued an order..."
The flag commanded the soldiers to line up the Ma Tang army array, and with his roars, the generals and generals of the Tang army led their troops to attack.
Opposite them, the Turkic army was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, carrying wind and dust, rushing towards the Tang army in a black mass.
"kill!"
The two sides started fighting on the ground. There was me among you and you among me. The killing was inextricable.
Yuchi Gong and Cheng Minzhen were wearing heavy plate armor, and were guarded by light plate armored cavalry on both wings. They were like black whirlwind drills, tearing apart the Turkic cavalry formation, like a meat grinder, frantically harvesting the heads of the Turkic cavalry and the legs of the war horses.
Suddenly, the Turkic cavalry fell on their backs and were killed by surprise.
"Kill!" The Turkic general Zhi lost his mind and saw something was wrong. He raised his gun and charged at the Tang army's heavy plate armor infantry.
"Let me meet you!"
Qin Qiong laughed loudly and easily cut a bloody path in the crowd of thousands of troops, taking it straight to the point of losing his ability to think!
Dang!
Qin Qiong's horse smashed into his head, like a mountain bearing down on him. Even though Zhi had lost his mind and prepared himself in advance, he leveled his weapon, but Qin Qiong still knocked down his horse with one blow.
The next moment, Qin Qiong's horse swung and hit Zhi Husi Li directly.
"It's over!" Zhi lost his mind and was horrified.
At this critical moment, Ashina Simo rushed in and barely blocked the blow, followed by countless Turkic cavalry who surrounded Qin Qiong, allowing Zhi to lose his ability to escape.
But those Turkic cavalry who blocked Qin Qiong died, being stabbed to death by Qin Qiong three or two times.
"Can you escape?"
Qin Qiong jumped on his horse and chased him away.
Looking at the evil-looking man behind him who was following him like a shadow and couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard he tried, I lost my ability to think and felt horrified in my heart.
He also fought against many generals of the Tang army, but he had never met the sinister man behind him.
I couldn't even resist his blow.
How strong is he?
Qin Qiong did not lead the army to pursue Zhi Shisi Li. His task was to lead the light plate armor cavalry to guard the flanks of the heavy plate armor infantry. Therefore, he did not want to fight and quickly returned to the formation to continue supporting Wei Chi Gong's advance.
The heavy plate armor infantry was like a meat grinder, slaughtering the Turkic cavalry wantonly, which once made countless Turkic generals fearful.
They also fought against Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army, but they were powerless against Li Zhiyun's heavy plate armor infantry.
The combination of Mo Dao and plate armor, equipped for both offense and defense, coupled with the large army of guards on the flanks, is a diamond on the battlefield.
"Can't stop it!" Yi Nan yelled and led the tribe warriors to retreat.
He was the third group of soldiers and horses that came to stop the heavy plate armored infantry, but unfortunately, he could not stop the opponent.
In Yi Nan's sight, either heads were flying or horses screaming and falling to the ground.
The long-handled sword in the opponent's hand made him feel a sense of fear. It was a weapon specially designed to target their Turkic cavalry!
After Jie Li learned about the heavy plate armor infantry, he immediately watched it personally. He quickly understood that this was the opponent's trump card.
Therefore, he directly ordered the cavalry to attack the Tang Army's main formation directly and not to waste it with the heavy plate armored infantry.
After receiving the news, the Turkic cavalry immediately split into two groups and charged toward Li Zhiyun from the flanks of the battlefield.
Li Zhiyun put down his telescope on the general platform and ordered: "The cavalry on both wings will change their formations and divide the battlefield."
"yes!"
As the Tang army's order was issued, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and laughed. Then they raised their horses high and led the light plate armored cavalry to leave the center and attack the two wings.
On the other side, Luo Shixin and Li Junxian also changed their formations, giving up their task of protecting the heavy plate armored infantry and fully supporting the two wings.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Zhixuan led his army to the central formation.
"General Yuchi, go back and rest. Leave the rest to me."
Yuchi Gong took off his mask, panted heavily, and nodded: "Please, General Duan." Although he could still fight, the other soldiers wearing heavy plate armor did not have the energy to continue fighting.
Duan Zhixuan nodded, and immediately commanded his troops to protect the heavy plate armored infantry, covering their gradual retreat.
Take the stage.
Li Zhen sighed: "Your Majesty, this Jieli is more powerful than Shibobi."
"How to say."
"Your Majesty, think about it. Shi Bo Bi has been hesitating in Hebei for many days, but he has never thought of using this method to bypass the heavy plate armored infantry, thereby involving our army's strength. Isn't Jie Li more powerful than Shi Bo Bi?"
Li Zhiyun laughed and explained: "It is true that Jie Li is more powerful than Shi Bo Bi, but it has nothing to do with this matter. You must know that we caught Shi Bo Bi by surprise at that time, which damaged his troops. If you don't
Look at how many soldiers and horses Jieli has under his command.
Do you think Shi Bobi hasn’t thought of this method? He has thought of it, but his military strength is not enough to support him in opening three battlefields."
Li Zhen looked embarrassed, clasped her fists and said, "I will teach you."
Li Qiang on the side smiled and patted his good brother on the shoulder.
"Azhen, you still have a lot to learn."
Li Zhen glared at him.
Hearing the two guards joking, Li Zhiyun shook his head, raised his telescope, and continued to observe the battlefield.
As the cavalry battlefield broke out on both wings, the infantry in the center also began to fight against the Turkic troops.
At this moment, the war is at its peak. Both sides have deployed all their forces in an attempt to defeat the other side in one fell swoop.
