Chapter 2123 Entering the enemy camp
No one knows what His Majesty Li Er was thinking at that time, whether he could really be so ruthless as to kill his brother and his brother and then kill his entire family to avoid future troubles forever! But what is certain is that even if he doesn't do that, the generals in the Tiance Mansion under his command will still push him to do it!
In the face of the supreme power of the emperor and his ministers, all opposing forces must be defeated. This has never been the case throughout the ages.
If Li Jiancheng had succeeded to the throne back then, even if he might have spared Li Er a way out of concern for brotherhood, how would the people under him have agreed? Once Li Er resurrects and usurps the throne successfully, all of them will die! So even if Li Jiancheng didn't want to kill Li Er, there was no chance that Li Er would be spared.
Now that Li Er is dead, how can his power not be uprooted?
In the same way, when Li Er took the throne, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and the whole family were destined to have a tragic fate...
It is extremely foolish to cut the grass without eradicating the roots.
This is forced by the situation, and there is no room for you to think about it or not.
So will one day Fang Jun be pushed by the forces under him and have to take a path that he never thought of taking?
Right now, no one knows the answer.
But this is definitely possible...
……
There were footsteps outside the account, and Gao Kan walked in quickly carrying a food box.
Fang Jun woke up with a start and found that his back was already wet, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
He took a breath, rubbed his face, looked at Gao Kan and asked, "Why don't you sleep for a while? After dawn, there will be a fierce battle. Only by recharging your energy can you fight the enemy bravely."
Gao Kan stepped forward, placed the food box in front of Fang Jun, and said softly: "Seeing that the commander was still awake, he ordered someone to prepare some food and put a cushion on his stomach to rest for a while. But... the commander was ill. ? His face is not very pretty..."
Fang Jun wiped his face again and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just not used to the cold weather. Just take a rest later."
I opened the food box and saw two pieces of golden fried pancakes. I tore one piece into my mouth and chewed it a few times. It tasted very good, so I ate it with tea.
Gao Kan retreated gently.
Fang Jun leaned on the fur behind him and closed his eyes for a while. Then he heard the sound of footsteps outside the tent. He quickly got up and put on his armor, tied a sheathed sword to his waist, and then pushed open the curtain of the tent. Strided out.
The sky was still dark, and there was no torch or light in Nuo Da's camp.
There were only chaotic footsteps and constant low-pitched shouts and shouts...
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that the commotion slowly stopped.
The army has been assembled.
Fang Jun and Xue Wanche rode to the front line and looked at the dark Xue Yantuo camp opposite. Several wind lanterns were hung on the high flagpoles, swaying back and forth in the cold wind, like soybeans.
Xue Rengui rode over and saluted on horseback.
Fang Junce rode two steps forward and warned: "Pay attention to safety. If something cannot be done, retreat decisively. Don't act like a temporary hero!"
Xue Rengui hurriedly said: "The last general will get the order!"
Fang Jun nodded: "Go!"
"Here!"
Xue Rengui responded, reined in the reins, turned the horse's head, and came to the front of the military formation. He glanced at the soldiers who were charging with him and shouted in a low voice: "Follow me!"
"Here!"
The soldiers murmured in response and flapped their breastplates in response.
Seeing this, Fang Jun waved his hand and said: "Attack!"
"Attack!"
The Tang army, which had already been assembled, was divided into three groups. Xue Wanche was on the left, Gao Kan was on the right, Xue Rengui was in the middle, and Fang Jun was behind the palace. The army moved forward slowly, in the darkness before dawn, braving the whistling north wind, towards Xue Yantuo's army. The camp slowly pressed past.
*****
In Xue Yantuo's camp, Ba Zhuo didn't sleep all night.
He is indeed violent, but he is definitely not a fool.
The current situation is precarious. Although Yimang was killed and usurped the position of Khan, it is still unknown how many days this Khan can sit in the face of the Tang army that is pressing down on the territory. No one knows whether he will become a Tang army when he wakes up. The prisoners were released and even died tragically under the sharp swords of the Tang army.
The reason why Longcheng was chosen to defend was because this place has been a place of worship for the Mobei Hu people since ancient times. In a desperate situation, it can greatly enhance the determination of the soldiers to share the same hatred with the enemy. Secondly, it was to warn the Tang army that if you The force was too much, and I ordered the entire army to retreat into the vast mountains behind me in anger. If I wanted to annihilate me, it would be even harder than climbing to the sky!
Of course, Bazhuo would never issue this order until it was absolutely necessary...
For a khanate like Xue Yantuo that relies on race and blood to maintain its rule, once all the troops retreat into Langjuxu Mountain, the complex terrain and vast mountains will cause this small force to be dispersed in an instant, and all restraints will be shattered. The generals don't know the soldiers, the soldiers don't know the generals, and the command system collapses instantly.
Especially when the army was defeated and the entire Mobei was occupied by the Tang army, it was really unknown how many people would obey his orders...
Bazhuo, the khan who killed his brother before taking Xue Yantuo's seat, didn't want to become a mere charlatan.
But when the Tang army launched a charge, could the improvised troops under his command be able to withstand it?
Ba Zhuo expressed doubts and lack of confidence.
He had never experienced the Battle of Monan, but the fact that the Tang army annihilated Xue Yantuo's most elite troops in the two battles of Nuozhenshui and Zhao Xincheng was a fact that could be seen. He was frightened by the strength of the Tang army.
The battle is very likely to be defeated, and then the body will die, the family will be destroyed, and they will all return to dust.
If we retreat, tens of thousands of troops may collapse in an instant, and the situation will be over.
Ba Zhuo doesn't know what to do...
In the middle of the night, he called all the commanders and chiefs under his command to discuss a strategy to retreat from the enemy. We argued with each other for half a night, but they never came up with a practical solution.
As dawn approached, the irritable Bazhuo dismissed everyone and lay on the bed in his undressed clothes, staring at the top of the tent with round eyes, not feeling sleepy.
Suddenly there were footsteps outside the account, and then someone whispered: "Khan, someone wants to see you..."
Ba Zhuo got up and shouted angrily: "It's so late at night, as long as the Tang army doesn't launch an attack, we won't talk about anything until tomorrow!"
There was silence for a moment outside the account.
Ba Zhuo was about to lie down on the bed when he suddenly saw the curtain of the tent being lifted open and a man stepping inside.
Ba Zhuo was furious: "You bastard! Do you still think of me as a sweat for two people? You dare to disobey orders. Do you really think that I can't cut you into pieces?"
He cursed angrily, but when he saw the person in front of him clearly, the curse suddenly stopped.
*****
In the darkness, the Tang army slowly advanced towards Xue Yantuo's camp.
Horses are chewing bits, people are biting bits, only the sound of footsteps and horse hooves is heard, and there is absolutely no noise from people and horses. The silence blends into the night.
When they were only a few dozen feet away from Xue Yantuo's camp, the enemy still didn't react at all and had no idea about the approaching Tang army.
Xue Rengui then raised the gilded phoenix-winged boring machine in his hand high and shouted: "Bang the drum! Attack!"
"Dong dong dong"
The war drums sounded instantly, like thunder from the sky, spreading far away.
"Kill -" countless soldiers shouted in unison, rushing forward with all their strength to kill.
Xue Rengui reined in the horse's reins and pinched the horse's belly with both feet. The horse neighed "Herod" and spread out its four hooves. The iron hooves as big as a bowl crushed the hard ice and snow under its feet. It was as powerful as a dragon. Suddenly the speed will be increased to the limit.
The cavalry beside them also exerted their strength at the same time, and thousands of warriors rushed into Xue Yantuo's camp like a whirlwind.
The iron hoofs shattered the ice and snow, and also shattered the tranquility before dawn.
The camp that was quiet and peaceful one moment, suddenly filled with boiling water, like a small boat in the stormy waves, may be violently torn to pieces the next moment!
Xue Yantuo's soldiers were awakened from their sleep. Before they could recover, they found that the Tang army had already entered the camp, with sharp swords right in front of them...
Chaos, panic, and killing are inevitable.
No one expected that when the two armies were facing each other, Xue Yantuo's soldiers could sleep so peacefully and be so vigilant. It was not until the Tang army rushed into the camp that they rose up to fight back.
The battle fell into a one-sided situation in an instant. The Tang army fought bravely like wolves and tigers to take the lead. Xue Yantuo fled with howling like a ghost and was defeated.
Xue Rengui didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He immediately shouted to the soldiers around him, and an army composed entirely of cavalry penetrated Xue Yantuo's camp like arrows and went straight to the Chinese army's tent!
Seeing the big tent approaching in an instant, Xue Rengui tightened his grip on the gilded phoenix-winged drill in his hand, and was about to leap forward to kill the general and seize the flag. Suddenly he saw the door of the big tent open, and Tu Midu ran out from the door, shouting loudly. He was holding something, and his hands kept making "stop" gestures.
Behind him, a stocky-looking man threw a saber to the ground, then knelt down on one knee...
This unconventional plot caught Xue Rengui off guard, and he was a little stunned for a moment.
