Chapter 71 Ambush

Giving up Monan and retreating back to Mobei is too risky and the losses are too great, which may lead to a catastrophe. Mochu has to pin his hopes on the second road.

The ministers were also thinking so, looking at the valley of Shiyu.

"The second way is: fight!" Shiyugu said in a deep voice.

"War?" The ministers were disappointed and shook their heads.

"We can't beat the Tang army. If we can beat it, will we still need to fight you?"

"That's right. When we fight head-on, we are definitely not opponents of the Tang army. This has long been verified with the blood and corpses of our ancestors."

The Turks knew the most about how powerful the Tang army was. It was proved by the corpses and blood of the Turks. If the Turks really had to fight head-on with the Tang army, they would definitely not be able to defeat them.

"What do you mean is that we will concentrate our superior forces and attack them all the way?" Mochuo felt something.

"Khan is wise." Shinyugu nodded and said, "We cannot defeat the Tang army when fighting head-on with the Tang army, but we don't have to fight head-on. We can concentrate our superior forces and attack the whole route. As long as we defeat them or several routes, the Tang army's offense will be unable to continue and our crisis will be lifted."

"Good solution!" The ministers suddenly realized and praised in unison.

This is definitely a good idea.

If there is a full-scale war, the Turks will undoubtedly be defeated. If the Turks concentrate their superior forces and attack the Tang army one or several routes, they can completely win.

If the Turks could defeat several Tang troops, the Tang army's attack would not last and the Turks' crisis would be lifted.

"Which way to fight? I think it's appropriate to beat Wang Xiaojie."

"That's right. Wang Xiaojie is a general of the Tang Dynasty and the commander of the attack on the Great Turks this time. If he is defeated, the Tang army's offensive will be defeated without attacking."

"I agree with beating Wang Xiaojie."

The ministers shouted in a verbal manner, very excited.

Wang Xiaojie was the only remaining famous veteran general in the Tang Dynasty and the commander of the Tang army. If he was defeated, the Tang army's offensive would be defeated without any attack. There is no need to think about its benefits.

"No." Mochuo shook his head.

"Why can't it be that Khan? As the commander of the Tang army, Wang Xiaojie has great benefits to defeating him." The ministers disagreed and retorted loudly.

Mochuo still insisted on his point of view and said, "As the head coach of the Tang army, Wang Xiaojie has great benefits to defeat him, but he has heavy troops around him. And he is all elite. Even if we gather all our army, we may not be able to defeat him. Even if we defeat, we will suffer heavy losses and have no successors."

As the commander of the Tang army, Wang Xiaojie was protected by heavy troops. He was also elite, and his combat power was very strong. If the Turks dared to attack him, they would not only not be able to defeat Wang Xiaojie, but would be completely wiped out by the Tang army. Wang Xiaojie could have bitten the Turks and mobilized a large army to besiege the Turks. By then, the Turks would have no other way out except to destroy the entire army.

"That's right." The ministers were right to think about it.

"Who will I hit?" the ministers frowned and thought.

"Li Longji!" Mochu and Tsugu looked at each other and nodded slightly. Mochu said.

"Li Longji?" The ministers were very surprised.

There were many generals in the Tang army, and there were many generals hated by the Turks, such as Tang Xiujing, Li Xianfu, Ge Fushun and others. Defeating Tang Xiujing and others was more relieved than defeating Li Longji.

"Although Li Longji came to the border for the first time, the Great Turks had known that they had a great loss and suffered a lot of losses. This is one of them," Mochu explained.

Although Li Longji first went to the battlefield, his performance was very eye-catching. The battle to escape the Fengzhou siege was particularly beautiful, which made the Turks suffer an unprecedented defeat. Moreover, the winter training was also proposed by Li Longji, which caused the Turks to suffer huge losses. After the war, Li Longji led the Tang army to attack and killed the most Turks. This made Mochu hold a grudge.

"Li Longji is the grandson of the stinky woman Wu Zetian, and the third son of the royal heir Li Dan. His status is very respectful. If he defeats him, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the Tang army, which is the second." Mochu continued to explain.

With the noble status of Emperor Li Longji, if he suffers a defeat, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the Tang army. Not to mention, his prestige among the Tang army is very convincing, and if he suffers a defeat, it will be a heavy blow to the Tang army.

"If we can capture Li Longji alive, or kill Li Longji, that stinky woman Wu Zetian was angry, and just Wang Xiaojie's military power or even kill him, that would be the best. Although this possibility is not great, it is also a possibility." Mo Chuo's eyes flashed and he said, "As long as Wang Xiaojie does not command the troops, it will be the time when the Great Turkic warriors are swaying!"

Wang Xiaojie was the only remaining veteran general in the Tang Dynasty. He had experienced many battles and had extremely rich experience in battle formations. He was a huge threat to the Turks. If he did not command the troops, it would be great news to the Turks. The benefits were no less than that when Cheng Wuting was killed by Wu Zetian.

"Okay! Khan is wise!" The ministers immediately agreed.

"Father Khan, I am willing to lead the army to fight." Tuoxi's face was gloomy, and he was very unhappy about being captured alive by Li Longji.

"It's good that you have such a fighting spirit, but this battle is very important, so it's better for me to personally fight." Mo Chuo's eyes were shining, and he was very excited.

"Khan, it's better for me to go there." Shiyugu asked for orders to go to war.

"You are resourceful and good at fighting, you can go." Mochuo admired Shiyugu very much and said, "Give you 50,000 elite troops, and then 2,000 powerful crossbows to you. You must kill Li Longji."

Although the Turks could not create powerful crossbows on a large scale like the Tang Dynasty, they could be seized. In recent years, wars were constantly carried out with the Tang Dynasty, and tens of thousands of powerful crossbows seized were all used to equip Mochu's troops. This time, in order to deal with Li Longji, he transferred out two thousand powerful crossbows, which was a heavy bleeding.

"Tuoxi, you are determined to take revenge, and follow it. Remember, everything must obey the orders of the Kuroku." Mo Chuan's eyes flashed and he said, "If you have a bad thing, don't blame your father for being ruthless."

This battle is too important, even if Takusi is his own son, he cannot show mercy.

"Father Khan, please rest assured, I understand." Takushi said hurriedly.

Narugu led 50,000 elite Turkic soldiers and set out immediately.

There is a water grassland thousands of miles northwest of Heisha City, where the Tang army led by Li Longji rested.

All the soldiers were full of joy and excitement, as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Since entering the desert, the Tang army has achieved great results. The Turkic herders they killed will not be less than 100,000. They seized countless cattle, sheep, and horses. Although they are not many of them used to destroy water sources, they are all good horses that have been selected again and again, and the soldiers are not happy about it.

Li Longji, Zhang Shuo, Chen Xuanli, Xue Zhi, Zhang Xiaofei, Su Fan, Li Kuan and others sat together, each with joy on their faces.

"The King of Chu is such a plan. We have killed so many Turkic herders and destroyed so many water sources. What can the Turks do to me?" Zhang Xiaofei gave Li Longji a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"That's right." Chen Xuanli and the others agreed in unison.

Although Li Longji's plan was gloomy and vicious, it hit the key points of the Turks, making it impossible for the Turks to solve. Whenever they think of this, they are happy.

"This plan is very good, and it hits the key points of the Turks, but the Turks will not surrender and will inevitably counterattack. You all tell me how we should deal with it." Li Longji just nodded lightly.

Mochuo is a smart person. He is determined to restore the country and will definitely not surrender. He must fight back. Li Longji had to prepare early and wake everyone up with words.

"The King of Chu is far-sighted and admires it." Zhang Shuo highly agreed with Li Longji's words and said, "In my opinion, the Turks are just two ways."

"Which two?" Chen Xuanli asked.

He said to Zhang that Chen Xuanli admired him from the bottom of his head, his eyes wide open and stared at him.

"The first way is to give up Monan and retreat like the Huns who had to retreat due to fierce attacks by the Han Dynasty, rest and wait for a good opportunity to make a comeback." Zhang Shi's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"It's reasonable." Chen Xuanli agreed with this and said: "Mobei has always been the old nest of the northern nomadic peoples. It is a good place for them to recuperate. I remember that before the Huns were defeated by the Han Dynasty, they went south three times and suffered a crushing defeat. They all retreated to Mobei to recuperate, waited for a good opportunity, and made a comeback, and finally became a huge disaster in the Han Dynasty."

Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns was a major event in Chinese history. However, because the price he paid was too high, it was actually unfair that later generations called him a powerful military force.

As Chen Xuanli said, before Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns, the Huns went south three times, but suffered great defeats three times. They all retreated to the north of Mo and rested until they were strong and went south again.

The reason for this is that Mobei is the nest of the nomadic peoples in the north, and China is beyond reach and it is difficult to strike it decisively. Emperor Wu of Han saw this, so he sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Mobei without considering huge pressure, completely dealing with the Huns, and ultimately leaving the Huns only in history textbooks.

"If the Turks want to retreat to Mobei, they will inevitably be chased by us and will pay a high price. When they return to Mobei, it will be hard to say how much strength they have left. At that time, it is a question whether the Turks can gain a foothold in Mobei." Zhang said, "Not to mention, even if the Turks retreat to Mobei, with His Majesty's majesty, they will inevitably dispatch large troops to attack Mobei like Emperor Wu of Han and completely deal with the Turks. Yi Mochu's shrewdness would not be unable to see this. Therefore, the Turks have no way to retreat, so he can only fight."

"Fight? OK, we're worried that he won't fight." Zhang Xiaofei looked happy.

"No!" Zhang Shuo shook his head, saying, "Yi Mochuo's shrewdness, he would not be stupid enough to fight us in full swing. He would choose to attack one way or several ways. I think the most likely is that the Grand Marshal and the King of Chu will be patronized first."

"No way?" Zhang Xiaofei was a little surprised.

"The Grand Marshal has heavy troops to protect, and they are all elites. Although Mochuo wants to fight, he can't chew the Grand Marshal and cannot fight." Li Longji took over the conversation and said, "I am the right size and length here. Moreover, I am the grandson of Your Majesty and the third son of the imperial heir. If I defeat me, it will be of great benefit to the Turks. I guess the Turks should come too."

"King of Chu, I'm so calculating." Pei Xiaoke, who was in charge of inquiring about the news, came over and praised him loudly, saying, "Yuyugu led 50,000 elite troops to force us."
