The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

How could they retreat just because they wanted to?

The people below were in a panic, while Yuchi Gong, who was on the high ground, saw the opportunity and directly commanded a large group of troops to press forward.

In the valley, the Turkic army had lost a lot of people due to the explosion. In addition, there were many soldiers who died under the horses' hooves due to the chaos and trampling. Just this wave made Ashidewu Meichu's eyes burst with blood.

The cavalry of the Tang army rushed in, as steady and ruthless as a sickle cutting wheat, and once again broke the little situation that Ashidewu Meichu had managed to stabilize.

Li Fu led people to rest in the rear. After a night of tossing, everyone was tired, people tired of running, and horses tired.

But everyone's spirit was still there, especially when they stood on the high ground and looked at the Turkic people below being killed by their own brothers. The comfort at this moment was just as comfortable as being sent to the best brothel in Chang'an City to spend money on the first day of rest after three years of hard work in the army.

"It's great! It's really fucking great!" The deputy general beside Li Fu clenched his fists, looking at the scene in front of him, his face flushed with excitement.

"This time we fought with the Turks, and we have a good start." Li Fu was also a little excited.

After this battle, the situation can be completely changed. As long as these 5,000 people are wiped out, the Turks will know to be afraid, and even if they want to sign an alliance later, the Turks will not dare to set their sights on the treasury of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty will take the initiative! At that time, the right to propose conditions will be in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, instead of letting the Turks ask for a sky-high price!

"More than 4,000 people have come." Li Fu said: "Do you think the general manager can wipe them all out?"

The deputy general looked at the situation below, and then responded cautiously: "I think it's a bit difficult."

"What do you mean?" Li Fu asked.

He was not very proficient in marching and fighting, and was not as experienced as the deputy general, so he had to listen to what the insiders said.

Li Fu is a good young man in peacetime. At most, he just reads the big shots in the forum and makes one analysis after another. But in front of him, whether it is the Turks or the Tang Dynasty, those who go to the battlefield are real people, not cold numbers and data.

He can't even be regarded as a paper talker, he can only be regarded as...reading the forum?

"When we were running just now, Ashidewu Meichu led the cavalry to chase us desperately. They had a large number of people, and the team was quite long. After entering the valley just now, although the cavalry was in the front, the infantry behind did not keep up.

In order to intercept the people in front, our people detonated the explosives in the valley in advance. Now, some of the infantry behind are still outside. It is not easy to kill them.

They have legs on their bodies, and they will run."

"Once the Turks flee, it will not be easy to catch them. They will run back to the camp, or go back to join the army directly."

"We have seen a short-term victory in front of us, and it is not easy to expand the results of the battle." Li Fu said.

The fighting is still going on below. The Turkic camp has collapsed, and the defeated army is fleeing in all directions.

The Tang army in the valley is harvesting the Turks to their heart's content.

Some Turks have been scared to the point of not being able to hold their weapons steadily.

The sound like thunder made them lose the will to fight.

And Yuchi Gong did not shout at all to lay down the weapons and spare your lives.

He just wanted to kill them!

If these people were allowed to run away, they would come to invade the Tang Dynasty again in the future.

As for capturing them?

There are not so many people to guard them now, anyway, just kill them first.

The cavalry must be destroyed, and the captured ones are the infantry who can't run away.

There are enough prisoners, and then we can talk to the Turks about the price.

"Brothers, I think we can't just rest here." Li Fu said.

"Brothers, whatever the deputy general manager says, just do it." The soldiers around him stood up and bowed.

"That's right, we listen to the deputy general manager!"

Others also responded.

If they had regarded Li Fu as a useless person who just followed the general manager to the army to make merit, then after the whole night last night, they also recognized this leader and the deputy general manager in their hearts.

When you are a soldier, you have to convince your subordinates, so that they will obey your orders. When it comes to fighting, they will really fight for you, the leading general.

"Deputy General Manager, what do you think?" the deputy general asked.

"I think they only have 4,000 people, and their vanguard has 5,000 people, which means there are still 1,000 people in the camp." Li Fu said: "The 1,000 people should be the troops who supply their logistics, right?"

Li Fu heard Li Shimin talk about, using eagles to describe people, five supplies in war.

This is food and fodder.

The vanguard army emphasizes light travel, with a combat army of 4,000 people and a logistics army of 1,000 people. This part is responsible for food and fodder, logistics supplies... Even the things looted first will be assigned to send back to their army.

The Turks don't say that food and fodder come before troops. They fight to support war. It sounds good to say that they are going south all the way, but in fact, they are looting all the way.

They also need food to survive the winter.

The winter on the northern grasslands is even more difficult.

But under their looting, the people of the Tang Dynasty have a harder time.

Every time the Turks go south, countless people of the Tang Dynasty lose their homes and relatives.

Therefore, all the people of the Tang Dynasty in the north close to the grasslands have hatred for the Turks in their hearts.

"The one thousand people guarding the camp are indeed not as strong as the people in front of us." The deputy general said: "Does the deputy general manager mean to do something to them?"

Li Fu nodded: "I do want to, but we only have five hundred people now."

Five hundred versus one thousand, even if they are not combatants, it is still a two-fold difference.

One advantage is that they are all cavalry, and the ones left in the camp are all infantry. If they charge the camp, they will be accurate.

However, these five hundred people have been busy all night, and they are exhausted. If they go to fight again, it may not be appropriate.

"Five hundred people, so what? There are only a thousand people on the other side." The deputy general was interested when he heard this: "Brothers, we can charge again! Isn't it, brothers!"

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

"We can't let those Turks in the camp run away."

"That's right, kill them and beat them up!"

The crowd was excited, and their spirits were even higher. On their faces, there was only excitement and excitement, and there was no sign of fatigue at all.

"We just ran a few times, and our long swords haven't seen blood yet!"
