The range of only 50 miles is extremely dangerous for the cavalry. Scouts of the two armies keep handing over short soldiers on this grassland to inquire about intelligence. The smoke of gunpowder is everywhere in the grassland. Even the wild animals smell the danger. Solitary foxes and wild wolves flee one after another, and rabbits and voles hide in the cave and tremble.
"Tell Khan that Xue yantuo's vanguard is less than thirty miles away from the army." a scout reported in a hurry in the Turkic tent.
"Xue yantuo has finally come!" the Turkic generals could not help but sink in their hearts and knew that it was the time for the survival of all Turkic departments. However, the Turkic generals looked at Chang sun Chong and he ganchengji, who were fully armed in the tooth tent. They had more confidence in their hearts. With the world's most powerful firearms army and 3000 Turkic cavalry equipped with Tang weapons, Turks finally had the ability to protect themselves.
"When will General Li Ji arrive!" Li Simo asked anxiously. Although the Turks have 6000 troops, horses, armored elite soldiers and 40000 grassland cavalry, it is unrealistic to defeat Xue yantuo's 200000 army. If Turks want to win, they still need 30000 cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to ensure victory.
"Return to Khan! According to the scouts, General Li Ji has crossed the Yellow River and is coming to our army at full speed! It's still about a hundred miles away," said a Turkic general with a sad face.
The so-called far water can't save the near fire. Li Ji is still a hundred miles away. Xue yantuo's army has been pressed into less than 30 miles, and the Turkic ministries are facing a crisis of life and death.
"Why don't our army continue to retreat, join the Tang army, and then go to war with Xue yantuo." a Turkic nobleman suggested that they have fewer troops. Now they have no confidence in going to war with Xue yantuo. It's better to go to the Tang Dynasty for nothing.
Li Simo was slightly moved. With the participation of the Tang cavalry, the Turks could ensure the victory. It was indeed the best way to retreat and wait for the arrival of Li Ji's army.
"I don't think it's necessary. It's still unknown when General Li Ji will arrive, but Xue yantuo is pressing step by step. If our army retreats and is bitten by Xue yantuo, I'm afraid there is a risk of annihilation of the whole army, and our army doesn't have the strength of a war at present." Chang sun Chong objected in unison.
"But our army only has 3000 troops and horses equipped with armor. The others are grassland cavalry. I'm afraid they can't beat Xue yantuo's 200000 army at all." Li Simo frowned.
Chang sun Chong said proudly, "the Turkic cavalry can't fight. Isn't there still a firearm army?"
"Firearm army?" said the Turks with joy. "So, general changsun is willing to send troops to help."
Chang sun Chong looked arrogant and said, "when I send troops to the grassland, naturally I will not sit idly by and watch the defeat of Turks. Once the Turkic war is unfavorable, I will certainly send troops to help. There are 3000 firearms troops on the battlefield. No army is our opponent on the battlefield, so I can certainly reverse the defeat for Turks.
"Yes! We have the firearm army to help, and we will be afraid of Xue yantuo." he ganchengji then boasted.
"Destroy the city and destroy 5000 Tibetan cavalry" the Turkic generals were moved one after another. They couldn't help thinking of the great achievements of the firearm army. In addition, the number of today's firearm army is three times that before, and the combat power must increase several times. In this way, Turks have no chance of winning. At least they can take Xue yantuo by surprise.
"Since General Chang sun helps me, I'm not a coward. This time, I'll fight Xue yantuo first to destroy Xue yantuo's evil spirit." Li Simo rose to the occasion. Now the Turks have retreated too much, and the morale of the army is low. If Xue yantuo can take advantage of the arrival of the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty and win a war unexpectedly, it will certainly boost the morale. Moreover, he knows that only by relying on the strength of the Turks can he really sit in the position of the Turkic Khan, otherwise he will go whoring the Tang Dynasty all the time, and all the tribes will die I won't convince him.
"Please, General Chang sun!" the Turkic generals saluted him solemnly.
Chang sun Chong was very proud of himself. This time he strongly advocated sending troops to the grassland for his great military achievements. For this reason, he brought the whole full army of firearms and wanted to leave his reputation on the grassland.
He urged the Turks to send troops, and did not imitate the achievements of the Mohist army in destroying Gaochang. If he led the firearm army and the Turkic cavalry to defeat Xue yantuo, there would be nothing behind Li Ji's army. At that time, the credit for defeating Xue yantuo would fall on him, holding the real pearl Khan to Chang'an city. At that time, he would combine the achievements of destroying the country in one fell swoop Yuemo family.
Li Simo and Chang sun Chong had their own thoughts and agreed to fight first. However, they didn't know each other's thoughts. Li Simo wanted to win a small victory, establish Khan's authority, and then continue to whore in the Tang Dynasty. Chang sun Chong wanted to do everything in the first World War and obtain military merit as much as possible.
"Hey, law!"
Grassland war horses gathered, 40000 Turks gathered, and Chang sun Chong followed. Although they had their own thoughts, they both wanted to win the battle.
"Tell Khan that Khitan cavalry, the vanguard of Xue yantuo army, has approached our army for ten miles." a scout hurried to report.
Hegan Chengji said angrily, "Khitan Khan, a perfidious guy, didn't treat him badly when he followed the Turks. Now the Turks are down. He is willing to be Xue yantuo's forward. He defeated the Khitan cavalry first in this war, so that the Khitans know the consequences."
All the Turkic generals immediately shared a common hatred and were ready to attack the Khitan cavalry.
"Slow down! I have a plan to ensure that the Qidan cavalry will never return." Chang sun Chong suddenly said.
Li Simo looked sideways and asked, "what advice does general Chang sun have?"
Chang sun Chong sneered: "the grassland cavalry gathered and scattered like sand. Once the Khitan cavalry see the situation, they will surely flee back to Xue yantuo's army. In this battle, you first send cavalry to fight with Khitan. You may lose or win. This time, I will defeat the Khitan cavalry and let other grassland departments realize the consequences of disobedience to Tian Khan."
"Let's lose, let's not win!" Li Simo, who had been in the Central Plains for a long time, suddenly understood Chang sun Chong's plan to lure the enemy in-depth.
With an order, a standard Turkic cavalry on the grassland jumped out and ran towards the Khitan cavalry of Xue yantuo forward.
"The Turkic tortoise is finally willing to move. As long as we can hold the Turkic cavalry, the first skill to kill the Turks belongs to Khitan." Khitan Khan saw the attack of the Turkic cavalry. He didn't worry but was happy. He immediately sent someone to the rear to send a message. He led the Khitan cavalry to deal with the Turks. Once Khitan obtained the first skill to kill the Turks, the grassland in Monan's hometown is not left to Khitan to choose, At that time, the time came for Khitan to rise.
"Kill!"
Two groups of grassland cavalry got closer and closer, and finally directly collided and fought together.
