Chapter 500 Stepping on the corpse

Li Xiangbu

After entering the grassland, Li Xiang was not idle for a minute, and directly led his people across. Although he was not sure about Li Ke's position, he already knew a general direction, so it was not difficult for Li Ke to move. Yes, they have experience marching on the grassland, and they also have sounding balloons, so it is easy to find Li Ke.

"Your Highness, come and see, this is our brother from the Tang Dynasty."

The sky is already dark, but there must have been a war in this area. There are many corpses around here. It can be seen from the armor that these are our brothers from the Tang Dynasty.

"Find someone to give them a good burial."

Li Xiang knew that there was no need to find any survivors now. Looking at the smell on many people, it must have been many days. We should have won here. After all, there were many corpses of Turks around.

The most taboo thing on the battlefield is to be greedy for power and advance rashly. Li Xiang knows a little bit about this third uncle, and he should be very safe in normal times, but because of his sudden rise and the last confrontation between the two, Li Ge may have lost his mind a little bit. It doesn't matter if you lose your mind, but you still have tens of thousands of soldiers. If you lose your mind in this state, then...

After entering the grassland, the two sides had a collision. Li Xiang's army immediately won the victory, mainly because our cavalry all carried serial crossbows. One hand held the reins and the other hand held the serial crossbow. Although the cavalry did not There is an opportunity to change the serial crossbow, but each serial crossbow can shoot ten sleeve arrows, which is equivalent to a pistol with ten bullets. How can the enemy stop it? Wherever our cavalry went, the enemies fell one after another like waves of wheat blown by the wind.

But since then, they have not found an organized army on the grassland. It is no wonder that the cavalry of four thousand people has not even raised a blemish. If the remaining people still find trouble with them, then this The general is simply mentally ill, so he might as well hide far away or attack Li Ge's army.

"Looking at the weather, this should be the last time we can raise the sounding balloon. If the enemy doesn't have a torch at night, it will be useless for us to raise it."

Su Dingfang looked around and saw that the grassland was full of yellow and bald grass, and there was no information at all.

"Night also represents an opportunity. Although the view is better during the day, we may not be able to find the person we are looking for. As long as there is a little firelight at night, we people will have a target. When we are in the Tuyuhun grassland, This is how their royal cavalry was destroyed."

Li Xiang remembered a battle on the Tuyuhun grassland. We discovered their elites at night. As long as they had a little light at night, we could follow the clues to find them. And after such a long period of practice, at night I am now familiar with raising a sounding balloon, much better than before.

Just when Li Xiang and the others were looking for Li Ke, Li Ke was already in a hard fight. Although there were grudges in the hearts of the people on the grassland, as Khan Xue Yantuo said, everyone has no way out now and must take advantage of the opportunity. Take this opportunity to kill Li Ke's army, and then retreat to Mobei as quickly as possible, so that they still have a chance of survival. If they don't do this, wait for Li Xiang and Li Ge to meet up, and the armies of both sides will kill them. There was no way for them to survive.

"Hold on, everyone, hold on. The glory of the Tang Dynasty is in your hands. As long as we can survive tonight, we will have our reinforcements tomorrow."

In desperation, King Wu Li Ke could only lie. He could only use this method to inspire his men to fight. There were attacking armies everywhere, and dense arrows fell from the sky. His men were injured. Wave after wave, but at this moment they can only withstand it. If someone retreats, then all of them will be doomed.

Fortunately, the people under him are the elite of the Tang Dynasty. They are all elite frontier troops and forbidden troops. If he had brought some second-line troops, they would have wet their pants long ago when facing such a cruel battlefield. Now There will also be deserters.

Defending on the grassland itself is an extremely difficult task, especially when our army is at a disadvantage. However, King Wu Li Ke is still an excellent leader. He piled all the usable things in the military camp around, Taking advantage of a relatively concave terrain, a temporary camp was created.

Although we have the advantage of attacking them all around, this is also the only way to protect them. If we start a night battle with the enemy's cavalry at night, especially when they are surrounded by enemy cavalry, then our chances of winning are not at all. Therefore, King Wu Li Ke could only adopt this strategy. He also knew that the number of casualties would rise sharply, but at least some people would survive. If a counterattack was adopted, the army would be dispersed after dawn. If we are scattered on such a prairie, then there is no way we can get together.

The soldiers under their command also knew that it was the end, and they had to show off their secret skills. Although the casualties of the Tang army had exceeded 30%, the casualties of the attacking army were also not small, and they felt in their hearts The pressure is also very high.

According to the expectations of some generals of Xue Yantuo, they could break through Datang's military camp in five hours at most. However, they did not expect that Datang's military camp would be huddled together. Although the casualties would be high, it would also put them at risk. Blocked outside the military camp, it was too difficult to get in. Their arrow rain and Datang's arrow rain could even collide in the sky.

Both sides in this war are bound to win. If the Tang Dynasty wins, then the survival of Xue Yantuo and the Turkic tribes is extremely slim. King Wu's army has been wandering on the grassland for a long time, and they have a relatively good understanding of the situation on the grassland. Familiar, if these people are left here, they may be caught up no matter how they escape. Having such a group of people who are familiar with the grassland is their greatest tragedy.

Therefore, it is impossible for both sides to take a step back. When the person in front dies, the person behind will attack. Many times the attack involves stepping on the corpses of their comrades. Although this is a very disrespectful behavior, it can no longer be controlled so much. If the battle is defeated, both sides will have an extremely slim chance of survival, especially the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They are now red-eyed...
