Chapter 936 The Final Battle
Chapter 936 The Final Battle
Zhe Ke personally went into battle, but he only had a slight effect on the retreating Turkic soldiers.
In less than an incense stick of time, he was captured alive by Niu Mou and sent to the rear.
Daleha looked at Zheke with a loincloth stuffed in his mouth and uttered a quiet laugh.
"I thought you could be a bit better than Sieg."
"It turns out he's even inferior to Sieg."
"Take it to the back and send it back to the capital to ask for the credit from Commander Niu Mou."
Zhe Ke struggled frantically, but to no avail, and was escorted to the rear by the soldiers.
This war is destined to have few victories. They are all remnants of defeated soldiers. Wanting to fight against the elite army is, as the old saying of the Tang Dynasty says, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
At the end of a day's fighting, most of the Turkic soldiers in the central army were killed by the Right Dragon Guard Army, and the very few who escaped were also killed by the Black Armored Cavalry and the Right Wei Guard Cavalry.
On three battlefields, more than 100,000 enemies were killed and blood flowed like a river!
Late at night, heavy snow fell from the sky, as if trying to cover up the bright red color of the ground.
Wang Xiaojie, Dalha, Wang Jinghui and Li Yuanfang gathered together to roast a fire. Wang Xiaojie also roasted two lamb legs. After they were sizzling with oil, the four of them each took a small knife and ate them.
"After we finish cleaning up the battlefield here, we can head to the Turks."
"A few days ago, I wrote a letter to Li Wanshan in the Turkic territory, hoping that they could hold back the Jie British army."
Wang Xiaojie sliced a piece of lamb leg and put it in his mouth. It was so hot that he grimaced.
"Whoosh, whoosh, it's so hot."
He put down the knife and exhaled through his open mouth.
"Most of the Turkic army has been wiped out. The Leopard Division, which is facing the Khitan army together with the Cang Langqi, is probably the last of the Turkic forces."
"Even if there are still large armies guarding the Stone Kingdom, there is no need to worry. With our army, we can completely defeat the Turks!"
Daleha suddenly looked worried.
"What I'm worried about is about to happen."
"Even if we can conquer the entire Turkic people, how to govern them is a new problem."
"There are huge problems in having officials of Turkic origin govern the Turks."
"What I fear most now is that the Turks will rebel again in the future."
Wang Jinghui listened quietly, his eyes soon intertwined with Li Yuanfang's, and then quickly separated.
The two looked at each other for only a moment, so Daleha didn't notice.
On the contrary, Wang Xiaojie, who seemed to be looking around at everyone unintentionally, saw the two people's gaze clearly.
After a moment, the veteran general understood why the emperor transferred Wang Jinghui, Li Yuanfang, and even the Wind Riders of his personal guard to the northern border when he had a clear advantage on the northern battlefield.
This was never just to help them win the war. Wang Xiaojie could fully believe that a secret decree had been handed to Wang Jinghui before he set out.
The appearance of this secret decree was precisely to ensure that the Turks would not rebel again in the future.
However, Wang Xiaojie couldn't figure out what was in the secret decree no matter how hard he tried.
It took three days to clean up the war. The war against the Turks would not be delayed any further, and capturing Helu alive was imminent.
The five tribes of Dulu, Makuli.
Khitan Supreme Khan Li Wanshan received a secret letter from Wang Xiaojie.
After reading it carefully, the Supreme Khan became more determined to join the Tang Dynasty.
"Xiang Zhou, you should probably change your name to Xiang Tang from now on."
He spoke jokingly and handed the secret letter to Sun Xiangzhou who was drinking tea.
After Sun Xiangzhou received the secret letter, Li Wanshan turned to his guards.
"Go and invite General Huang Zhen of Yingzhou Guard, and General Bu Zhen of Iron Hawk."
"I'm going to call a secret meeting!"
The stern guard bowed and quietly left the central military tent.
Sun Xiangzhou opened the secret letter and took a closer look. The smile on his face suddenly became as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.
The secret letter was written to them by Wang Xiaojie more than ten days ago, and the content was simple.
In the letter, Wang Xiaojie said that he was rushing to the border between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and would arrive in about ten days. The final battle against the Turkic army would begin the next day after his arrival.
In addition, in the letter, Wang Xiaojie further stated that he would definitely completely annihilate the Turkic army, and then attack the Turkic Yazhang Stone Kingdom together with Daleha, Wang Jinghui, Li Yuanfang and others.
Sun Xiangzhou calculated the time. Judging from the speed of the messenger, today was the fourth day after the battle between the Tang army and the Turkic army.
In other words, the Turkic army was probably completely wiped out, and Wang Xiaojie was also commanding the army to attack the Turks.
It is true that the Turkic territory is vast, but the road to the Stone Kingdom is a thoroughfare.
As long as there is no large army blocking the way and no bad weather, reaching the Stone Kingdom would be the easiest thing to do.
If the coalition forces can slow down the progress of Cardinal Britannia and his army in Macuri, so that these people have no time to care about Helu of the Stone Kingdom, it will only be a matter of time before Helu is captured alive.
but……
After Helu was captured alive, what they had to face was a group of soldiers with no way to retreat.
"It's difficult."
Sun Xiangzhou knocked his head.
"We must not start a war with them after the news of Helu's capture has been reported."
"I think we can unilaterally declare that the Turks are not sincere and we are not going to negotiate."
"Fight them directly and kill as many of their living forces as possible so that they can't become defeated soldiers."
Obviously, Sun Xiangzhou also discovered the most important problem.
Li Wanshan nodded: "When Bu Zhen and Huang Zhen arrive, we will discuss it."
……
Half an hour later, a horseman rushed out of the Khitan camp.
The old but strong Li Bushang rushed out alone, with his personal soldiers following behind, but they could not catch up with him no matter how hard they tried.
After approaching the Turkic camp, Li Bushang hid in a stirrup, drew his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the gate of the Turkic camp.
Soon, the object at the end of the arrow was sent into the British tent.
When Kirie Britannia saw that it was actually a piece of parchment, he laughed.
"No wonder!"
"I was wondering why Li Bu Shang's archery skills were so poor. Normally, this arrow should have hit the soldiers' heads."
"So, you wanted to send me a letter!"
"Let me take a look at what is in this letter."
Kathryn took the parchment, looked down at it, and his expression suddenly froze on his face.
"what?"
"Then Li Wanshan actually said that we have no intention of negotiating and are just stalling for time with them?"
"Now they want to unilaterally cancel the peace talks and immediately go to war with us. This is ridiculous!"
He quickly looked down.
As expected, Li Wanshan had already agreed on a time for the battle.
The additional statement also said that if the Turkic soldiers did not go out to meet the enemy when the time came, the Khitan army would attack the camps of the three Leopard Divisions without hesitation and force the British to send troops.
