"Snapped!"
A whip hit him hard.
A soldier from the Zuo San Tongjun Mansion rode forward and yelled, "You idiot, you deserve armor! Ye Ye hasn't even put on the armor yet!"
The strong man wanted to curse, but after seeing the face of the soldier on horseback clearly, he lowered his head in a hurry.
"Did you recognize Yeye?!"
The soldier from the Left Third General's Office on horseback asked jokingly.
The strong man lowered his head and dared not say a word.
The soldiers of Zuo San Tongjun Mansion spat, "When Ye Ye was rampant in the village, you were just a piece of shit that Ye Ye rode on, and you still dared to act so arrogantly in front of Ye Ye!
You must do whatever my commander tells you to do. If you dare to act arrogantly again, I will beat you to death!"
The sturdy man nodded vigorously, picked up the weapon he had dropped before, and stood there with his head down waiting for orders, not daring to say another word.
"Who else?!"
Su Dingfang looked around at the surrendered soldiers and questioned loudly.
The surrendered soldiers looked at each other, and finally some of them began to stand up.
One, two, three...all the way to more than a hundred.
After more than a hundred people stood up, picked up their weapons, and stood silently in place waiting for orders. The others were either still hesitating or pretending to be dead.
Su Dingfang did not have time to persuade them to surrender one by one, and immediately said with a sullen face: "Those who are unwilling to deal with Liu Heita, then kill them. We don't have any extra manpower to guard the prisoners now!"
When the soldiers of the General Military Office heard this, they all drew their swords.
The surrendered soldiers panicked instantly.
"You just said that those who surrender will not be killed!"
"puff!"
A surrendered soldier stiffened his neck and roared at Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang decisively killed him.
The other surrendered soldiers instantly became angry but dared not speak.
As for resistance, it no longer exists.
When they were holding weapons and fighting with Su Dingfang and his party , they were no match for Su Dingfang and his party. Now that they have laid down their weapons and are surrounded by Su Dingfang and his party, how can they possibly be a match for Su Dingfang and his party?
"Let's go!"
Under the coercion of Su Dingfang, the surrendered soldiers had to take up their weapons again and launch an attack on Liu Heita's temporary camp.
Su Dingfang asked the 100 surrendered soldiers who had first agreed to deal with Liu Heita to serve as the supervisory team. Following behind them, Su Dingfang led his captains and more than 100 soldiers from the General Military Office to serve as the second supervisory team.
"pretty!"
After Li Yuanji saw everything Su Dingfang did through the monocular telescope, he praised him without hesitation.
Selecting the surrendered soldiers to serve as the supervisory team was indeed a great job.
As long as the supervisory team composed of surrendered soldiers does not want to die, they can only use all means to force other surrendered soldiers to work for the Tang Dynasty.
In order to save their lives, they would be more cruel than Su Dingfang and his group.
This method is a bit cruel and despicable.
But Li Yuanji had to praise Su Dingfang for his ability to quickly transform the enemy's effective combat power into his own effective combat power.
The enemy is getting weakened, while you are getting stronger, and there is basically no suspense as to who will win or lose in the end.
"Your Highness, the Turks have begun to attack..."
Not long after Li Yuanji finished praising Su Dingfang, a messenger hurried to the pass and bowed to report to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji nodded after thinking deeply. The Turks started the attack at this time, probably because they had communicated with Liu Heita in advance, and asked Liu Heita to hold back some of their troops at Weize Pass, weakening its strength and making it easier for them to capture Weize Pass.
"Commander Xie and General Li have already begun leading their troops to resist..."
The messenger said again.
Li Yuanji ordered: "Tell Xie Shufang to fight as hard as he can. As long as there is no danger of breaking through the pass, use all means to deal with the Turks."
“Yes!”
The messenger bowed and responded, then retreated from the checkpoint.
Li Yuanji continued to watch Su Dingfang's battle thoughtfully.
The place chosen by the Turks and Liu Heita to break out and move south has always been Weize Pass.
The Turks sent troops from Shizhou, Youzhou and Weizeguan respectively, and gathered their troops in Shizhou, making it seem as if they were going to march south from Shizhou. This was obviously a strategy to confuse the enemy.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Turks to appear outside Weize Pass with Liu Heita.
The Turks were outside the Tang Dynasty and could go wherever they wanted.
However, Liu Heita could not go wherever he wanted within the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
With Liu Heita's current military strength, he can only show up once in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
If he dared to show up frequently, even if the Tang Dynasty could not send troops to catch up with him in the first time, it could quickly dispatch troops from the surrounding state governorates to surround Liu Heita, leaving him with no way to to enter the earth.
Therefore, the place where Liu Heita breaks out must be determined firmly without any hesitation.
Although Liu Heita was able to communicate with the Turks, it must have taken them a very long time to communicate once.
It was impossible for Liu Heita to communicate with the Turks in a short period of time and make them change their destination to the south.
It is also impossible for the Turks to send a message to Liu Heita immediately after discovering that Li Xiuning had left Weize Pass, asking Liu Heita to break out from Weize Pass.
Therefore, all this must have been discussed by them in advance.
Their target from the beginning to the end was Weize Pass, Shizhou and Youzhou were just a cover to confuse the Tang Dynasty.
Although the terrain outside Weize Pass was not conducive for the Turkic army to occupy the pass, this could confuse the Tang Dynasty and make it transfer most of its troops to Shizhou or Youzhou, leaving only a small number of troops stationed at Weize Pass, which would be more conducive to their breakthrough of Weize Pass.
"kill!"
Su Dingfang, holding a horse lance, forced the surrendered soldiers to charge towards Liu Heita's temporary camp.
With the surrendered soldiers leading the way, some traps set by Liu Heita on the road to the temporary camp could not become an obstacle to Su Dingfang and his party at all.
Su Dingfang and his party would definitely avoid the place where the surrendered soldiers went around.
Wherever the surrendered soldiers dared to gallop, Su Dingfang and his party could also ride their horses.
Liu Heita was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet when he saw that his troops had turned against their side so quickly and became scouts for the enemy.
"A bunch of people who are more likely to cause trouble than to do good!"
Liu Heita was so angry that he started cursing.
When Su Dingfang gave up attacking the flank of the temporary camp, Fan Yuan returned to the lookout tower where Liu Heita was. Through the fence of the temporary camp, he could also see Su Dingfang using the surrendered soldiers to explore the way and quickly approaching the temporary camp.
Fan Yuan asked anxiously: "My king, what should we do now?"
Liu Heita gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the archers to fire all their arrows and hit them hard! And tell the slingers to set up their catapults immediately and smash them hard!"
Liu Heita was used to commanding thousands of troops in battles.
As soon as he opened his mouth, thousands of arrows were fired.
Even though he now had less than 10,000 bows and crossbows under his command, he still habitually gave the order to fire 10,000 arrows at once.
When Fan Yuan heard what Liu Heita said, he didn't say anything. He passed the order along according to Liu Heita's words.
Soon, Liu Jun in the temporary camp installed crossbows on the large crossbow that had been set up at the gate. The archers also bent their bows and put arrows on them, and the slingers also loaded huge stones on the catapults.
One after another, the gate-blocking carts were pushed outside the gate and steadily planted in the ground.
In front of the gate knife cart, there are rows of blades, which can block the cavalry charge when they are firmly stuck into the ground.
If the cavalry cannot charge, its combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.
"Shoot!"
Liu Heita watched Su Dingfang and his party enter the range of bows and crossbows, and gave orders without hesitation.
Waves of arrows flew out at Liu Heita's command.
The crossbow, which is as thick as a baby's arm, can penetrate two people in front and behind at once after being shot out.
After dense arrows fell, screams of pain from those who were shot came one after another.
As for the arrow being able to kill a person on the spot, or the force of the arrow being able to force a person to fall to the ground, that is possible, but not all arrows can reach this level.
Only large crossbows and strong bows weighing more than one and a half stones and less than three stones can do this.
Although a strong bow weighing more than three stones has greater power, it will basically pass through a person when it hits him. There is no possibility that the force of the arrow can force a person to fall to the ground.
So, when dense arrows fell on the surrendered soldiers supervised by Su Dingfang and others, the surrendered soldiers did not fall down like wheat being cut.
Most of the surrendered soldiers who were hit by arrows just trembled and screamed.
Only the surrendered soldiers who were hit by a series of large military weapons such as large crossbows or catapults would fall to the ground.
However, Liu Heita did not have many large military weapons such as large crossbows and catapults.
Therefore, even with the threat of rain of arrows, the surrendered soldiers were still advancing steadily under the pressure of the supervision team.
Although there would occasionally be some unrest among the surrendered soldiers, it would quickly be suppressed by the surrendered soldiers supervising the battle.
"Divide into formations!"
When the unrest among the surrendered soldiers was about to be out of control, Su Dingfang gave a decisive order.
Although the divided formation could not avoid the rain of arrows falling from overhead.
However, their numbers are small, and after separating, they can effectively avoid damage from large military weapons such as crossbows and catapults.
Large military weapons such as large crossbows and catapults are powerful, but their accuracy is poor, especially in small-scale wars. They cannot hit the target exactly, and their effects are very limited.
After the surrendered soldiers were divided into battle formations, they were obviously much calmer. Large crossbows and other military weapons could still hit them, but catapults and other military weapons could rarely hit them, so there were fewer unusual movements among them.
After the surrendered soldiers had pushed the cavalry to a distance where they could charge, Su Dingfang gave orders to the captain of the Left Third Military Commandery who was beside him.
"You lead our troops and continue to supervise the battle! I will lead the remaining troops to attack the camp from both wings!"
From the beginning to the end, Su Dingfang never expected those surrendered soldiers to help him break into the camp.
He had only one purpose in forcing the surrendered soldiers to lead the charge, which was to use the surrendered soldiers to avoid the many ambushes set up by Liu Heita in front of the camp, and by the way, to withstand the damage from Liu Heita's long-range weapons.
Liu Heita placed the gate-blocking knife carts in front of the camp, making it impossible for the cavalry to break into the camp from the front.
So we have to attack from both sides.
