Chapter 174: Persuade the enemy to surrender, fighting like a beast
The defenders at the entrance of Tieshan were sleeping soundly, and suddenly they heard drums, gongs, and horns coming from each other, and they all woke up.
"Enemy attack!" someone shouted.
When they rushed out of the camp, they were shocked.
At some point, outside the camp, a thousand iron cavalry had already bent their bows and arrows at them.
The warriors of this iron cavalry were all wearing fanged beast masks, and their bodies were filled with cold murderous intent, just like they were from hell.
Those who see it are chilling.
The defenders at the entrance of the Iron Mountain were at a loss and were full of fear. Even though they did not dare to attack first, they knew that whoever dared to move would be shot to death.
Suddenly, among the iron cavalry, a general with white helmet, white armor and white robe and riding a white horse slowly came.
Compared with other iron cavalry, this white-robed general looks fresh and refined and unique.
The white-robed general was of course Li Zaigu, and the one who wore the masks of ferocious beasts was the "Big Han Tiger Army" called out by Li Zaigu!
"Don't throw away the weapons and surrender quickly. Our Tang army has attacked Tieshan. If you resist, there will be only one dead end!" Li Zaigu glanced at the besieged defenders at the entrance of Tieshan and said loudly.
The guards at the encircled Iron Mountain entrance were suddenly in a state of turmoil, and many people looked at each other, their fear even stronger.
"Don't have any illusions. Jie Li is now unable to protect himself. Perhaps he has been captured by our army. You and others do not need to resist unnecessary and die in vain! Even if you and others die by resisting, Jie Li will not thank you!" Li Zaigu continued.
Some people began to waver, but did not immediately throw away the weapons in their hands and acted as wait-and-see attitude. Some people were hesitant and wanted to surrender, but were afraid of being despised by their companions.
"Our Tang army entered the grassland this time, not targeting you and others. There is only one purpose, which is to attack Jie Li."
Li Zaigu coughed dryly, changed his tone and became peaceful.
"Jie Li is not worthy of your life for you. You know Jie Li better than this general. In the past two years, Jie Li has appointed flattering ministers and imposed bribes, which has made the people of the grassland tribes not full or warm. Jie Li also instigated the grassland tribes to plunder and kill each other, which has led to the Tuli Khan leading the tribes under his jurisdiction to escape from Jie Li's rule and surrender to the Tang Dynasty."
Many people began to whisper, and although some people did not throw away the weapons in their hands, they hung down and did not look at Li Zaigu and others.
"If we wait for surrender, can you guarantee that we will be able to wait for our lives?" a thousand-man spoke.
"Of course! This general will do his best!" Li Zaigu said firmly, "The Tang Dynasty treats prisoners preferentially, and those who take the initiative to surrender will be rewarded in the future!"
The captain gritted his teeth and sighed: "Forget it, it's time to do so, and resistance is useless. The warriors obeyed orders, threw away their weapons, and surrendered to the Tang army!"
He said, first throwing away the weapons in his hand.
Seeing this, the other soldiers threw away their weapons.
Li Zaigu ordered the surrendered Tieshan Entrance Army to return to the camp where they had just rested, leaving behind the commanders of thousands and several centurions to prevent them from surrendering.
Without anyone taking the lead, other soldiers will naturally not be able to cause storms.
...
Li Jing and Tang troops outside Tieshan saw the fire and knew that Li Zaigu and others had taken action.
"The soldiers obey orders and prepare to attack the city!" Li Jing ordered.
"Report!" A spy ran back, "Master General, the city gate below the enemy building at the entrance of Tieshan has been opened!"
Li Jing said happily: "It seems that the Tang army in Tieshan has controlled the entrance to Tieshan."
After pausing, he said seriously: "All the soldiers obey orders, horses chew, and people rush forward with their heads!"
"As for your order!" the soldiers responded.
Li Jing waved his hand and the army quietly entered Tieshan.
When Li Jing and others found out that there were only ten elite soldiers, they controlled the entrance of Tieshan, they were all surprised.
Li Jing found out that the person who led the team to control the entrance to Tieshan was Li Zaiguhou, and was relieved when he was surprised.
"There are so few Turkic defenders at the entrance of Tieshan?" Li Jing asked.
"The other defenders at the entrance of the Iron Mountain are all in the tent." Li Zaigu's voice suddenly came from behind Li Jing.
Li Jing and others hurriedly turned around and saw Li Zaigu coming with several Turkic people.
"The chief general, send 300 soldiers to take care of the surrendered 1,000 defenders at the entrance of the Tieshan Mountain." Li Zaiguyi came to Li Jing and said.
Li Jing was surprised at first, and then ordered three hundred soldiers to take care of the surrendered soldiers.
Before the three hundred soldiers arrived outside the camp, the Han Hu Ben Army had disappeared. The three hundred soldiers were surprised and thought that Li Zaigu had captured a thousand enemy troops with only ten elite soldiers.
As for the surrendered commanders and several centurions, they were taken elsewhere to take care of.
The surrendered defenders did not find it strange to see another group of people visiting them. They all believed that the thousands of cavalry who had just captured them had been sent to fight elsewhere.
Li Jing didn't care what method Li Zaigu used to capture the enemy, he only cared about the result.
"Master General, our elite troops have already messed up Tieshan. At this time, the attention of the enemy in Tieshan has probably been diverted. I will not notice that the Tang army has entered Tieshan for a while. The last general suggested that the Grand General General lead the army to attack the depths of Tieshan immediately, catch him off guard, and eliminate all the enemy troops in Tieshan!" Li Zaigu suggested to Li Jing.
"Okay!" Li Jing nodded without thinking, "This manager is just thinking!"
The two armies on the left and right wings also attacked Tieshan one after another. The Tang army had already created chaos in the Tieshan, causing the Turkic army to ignore the head and tail, and even some defenders were captured before they could gather their troops.
The Tang army was ready to go with high morale. The central army led by Li Jing crashed into the Iron Mountain under the guidance of Li Zaigu, and gave them a heavy blow before the many Jie Li soldiers were organized.
Before countless Turkic soldiers could pick up their scimitars and turn over their horses, they were flooded by the surging Tang army.
The Tang army was raging back and forth in Tieshan like a flood, and the army that defeated Jie Li retreated step by step. Tens of thousands of Turkic people threw away their armor and surrendered one after another.
"The Tang army will not kill prisoners, and the resisters will die!" Wherever the Tang army went, they shouted this slogan.
At this time, corpses were piled up around Jie Li Khan's tent, Su Dingfang's iron armor was stained with blood, and there was a gap in the crescent blade of Fang Tian's painting halberd.
The dozens of elite soldiers he led were less than ten left, but they were all injured.
The Fang Tian Hua Ji pillar in Su Dingfang's hand was on the ground, panting.
Blood was bleeding on his face, not sure whether it was his own or the enemy splashed. His eyes were fierce and murderous, like a beast that had been bitten with horses, cows and sheep.
Su Dingfang led a few dozen elite soldiers to kill hundreds of enemy troops, and his eyes were red, and he didn't even let the prisoners go until the end.
Su Dingfang watched Jie Li Khan run away and vent his anger to the Turkic soldiers.
At this time, there were no enemy slow troops around the tent. On the one hand, other Turkic troops in the Iron Mountain were also attacked and they could no longer care about the tent. On the other hand, they believed that the slow troops were enough to deal with only dozens of Tang troops, but they did not expect that these few dozens of Tang troops would be so brave.
