Chapter 417: The Turkic Army

Several sharp and piercing birdsong sounds came from the hole above, and two sturdy Haidongqing flew down one after another, hovering above the heads of Li Tianqi and the others for a while, and then came out of the hole and disappeared into the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Li Tianqi and the others were about to find another exit, there was a faint sound of many people shouting from above.

Sure enough, the hole the size of the round table showed several heads peeking down, these people were wearing sheepskin hats, and they were not from the Central Plains.

They obviously also saw Li Tianqi and the others, so they shouted, "Wow, it's Turkic."

Maybe it was the Turks above who recognized their Central Plains people's dress, and after a while, a Turkic who knew Chinese came, and this person was lying outside the cave and shouted to Li Tianqi and others: "Who are you?" How did you end up in this crypt? ”

Lin Yixian said: "They are Turkic again. ”

Ozan asked, "Shall we go up with their help?" ”

Li Tianqi said: "I don't think the Turks are all malicious, it's better to go up first and talk about it than to grope in this dark cave." What do you think? ”

Lu Linlang said: "In this cave, it is not convenient to see things, and there may be a lot of crises, now that there is an exit in front of you, it is better to go out first." ”

Lin Yixian also followed: "Reasonable." I said I was going out a long time ago. ”

"Since everyone agrees, then I have no opinion." After Eshang finished speaking, he raised his head and replied loudly to the top: "We are a business traveler, and we are trapped in this place when we encounter wind and sand on the road. ”

The gang muttered for a while, then lowered a thick rope, and the Turk, who knew Chinese, shouted again: "Hold the rope, and we will help you up." ”

Li Tianqi and the others then grabbed the rope and climbed to the ground one by one.

It was early in the morning, and although it was still cold outside, it still seemed to have some warmth because of the rays of the rising sun in the east.

They were rescued by seven or eight Turks dressed in civilian clothes with scimitars.

Although the Turkic who knew Chinese had a dark face and rough skin, he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, younger than Li Tianqi, like a young scribe, which was a little different from the appearance of the other Turkic middle-aged men around him who were red-faced and thick-faced.

Although this group of Turks rescued Li Tianqi and others, they were full of hostility, and their hands couldn't help but press on their waists, ready to draw their knives at any time.

The Turkic young man who looked like a scribe said, "Are you all from the Central Plains? ”

Li Tianqi hugged his fists and said: "This brother, yes, we are all from the Central Plains. ”

The young man glanced left and right at the Turks, then lowered his voice and said, "Look for an opportunity to escape." Then he spoke aloud in Turkic to his companions.

Li Tianqi heard it clearly, and Lin Yixian and the others naturally heard it clearly, it seems that they still encountered Turkic people with malicious intentions.

Although these seven or eight Turkic people were nothing in the eyes of Li Tianqi and the others, as long as the other party was hostile, they would naturally unceremoniously subdue the other party.

The young man was still talking with the group of Turkic companions, but Eshang was a little breathless, and he said in a low voice: "There are only seven or eight of them, we might as well take advantage of the situation to defeat them and then go." ”

This area is surrounded by mountains, although the mountains are barren and the vegetation is sparse, if they do it rashly, they will have no way to hide, and if they still have accomplices, it will be even worse.

Li Tianqi said: "It's not to the point of tearing your face yet, let's take a look first, besides, it's not easy to hide here, we can easily be discovered." ”

Eshang looked at the surrounding situation, and it was indeed the case, so he didn't say anything more.

After the young man had finished talking with the men, he came over and said, "They asked me to tell you, and they will take you out." But even though he had said that, the young man's head swayed slightly from side to side, and his eyes were also negative, and it seemed that they still had the opportunity to act.

Li Tianqi didn't know why the young man was secretly helping him, but he still nodded slightly and asked softly, "Are you ......?"

The young man also whispered, "I'm from the East Earth. With that, he noticed that someone was looking at him, so he laughed again and shouted a few words in Turkic.

Those Turks mounted their horses one after another, and surrounded Li Tianqi and others in the middle, intentionally or unintentionally.

The two Haidongqing were still hovering in the sky, and when they saw that the people below were showing signs of moving, they went up through the clouds and disappeared into the sky.

Only then did he walk a distance of about ten feet, and not far away there was the sound of galloping horses' hooves.

The young man who was walking side by side with Li Tianqi couldn't help frowning slightly and said in a deep voice: "Oops, there are cavalry coming this way." He glanced at Li Tianqi with pity.

It seems that the chances that he expects Li Tianqi and the others to find an opportunity to escape have become slim.

Sure enough, a well-equipped group of Turkic cavalry, about fifty men, climbed over the ridge and galloped towards this side, smoke and dust billowing from their hooves.

The leader of the group was a sturdy scarface, followed by fierce cavalry, who met them all the way and stopped when they were almost in front of everyone.

The scarface man said a few words to the man who was holding Li Tianqi and the others, and then waved his hand to whisper to the person who seemed to be the deputy next to him, and the deputy ordered ten people to continue to move forward.

The young man whispered beside Li Tianqi, "This patrol leader will personally escort you back to the camp." I think you should also be calm and wait until the camp is night, and then look for an opportunity to escape. ”

Li Tianqi thought about it for a while, and could only nod.

Eshang pulled Li Tianqi aside and said in a low voice: "That kid has been muttering something in secret, could it be that he deliberately set us up and not resist?" ”

Li Tianqi said: "No, even if we escape, we will inevitably be discovered by this group of cavalry." It's better to pretend that you don't know, but instead let the other party relax their vigilance, and we will find an opportunity to escape then. ”

Eshang thought for a moment, "That's right." Then let's take the chance. ”

At this time, the scarface man waved his hand and led everyone back and forth.

After walking for about three miles, and turning over several low hills, the place where everyone was located was on higher ground, and as far as the eye could see, there were actually dense and countless military tents.

Li Tianqi and the others were secretly surprised, although they didn't know where they were, they were obviously no longer in the area before they explored the stone cave.

Maybe the soft land sent himself and others here unexpectedly, just like the method of earth escape that Miao Le cast.

Eshang said: "Looking at this formation, there should be no less than 30,000 people, right?" ”

Li Tianqi said: "But do you have to pay attention, although there are many people here, it doesn't seem that there are many people wearing military uniforms, but more people are wearing civilian clothes." ”

Lin Yixian said on the side at this time: "Although he is wearing civilian clothes, he is also a Turk, right?" ”

Li Tianqi said: "We soon knew where to go. ”

Not long after, their group came to a place less than a hundred feet in front of the camp.

The horn blew, and the Turkic soldier standing at the guard post at the gate gestured to the captain, and the two sides murmured something, presumably about what the patrol had discovered.

At this time, Li Tianqi found that the wall of this camp is five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the defense is tight, it seems that the Turks are not sloppy with the construction of the camp, and not as some military books say, the Turks are only good at horse warfare and not good at defending the city, but looking at the detailed structure of this camp, it is difficult for the general army to overcome.

At that time, there was friction between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, although the Tang army could use the numerical advantage when the two armies faced each other, but the Turks won in the high mobility, often fought when they could win the battle with the Tang army, and ran away if they could not win, looking for fighters in the retreat, once they saw the weakness of the Tang army, they concentrated their superior forces to give a sharp blow, and the Tang army lacked mobility, the dispatch was slow, and the pursuit could not keep up, and sometimes the war suffered a big loss because of this.

The Tang Army's territorial defense line was also very long, and it was inevitable that there would be weak points in the division of troops for defense.

What caught everyone's eye was that the Turks had actually built a camp here, which was very new.

The camp here is enclosed by three layers of walls, the front of which is about six feet high, and is made up of five or six feet long bowls of thick log segments crossed to form a rejection of horses. Behind the wall of the horse and wood is a fence wall about two zhang high, and the holes of the bamboo strips are covered with spikes about a foot long, which seems to prevent people from climbing into the village at night. The last wall was about three feet high, all of which were lined up with five or six feet thick and covered with a thick layer of mud.

The gate of the camp was slowly moved open at this time, "Huhahehehe...... Hey, hey, hey......, hey,

Is this the sound of hard work?

Some shirtless men who were carrying stout logs and walking forward saw the gate of the village open, and they all glanced at Li Tianqi and the others.

Suddenly, three ragged men who were carrying a log together struggled to smash the wood on their shoulders at the Turkic soldier who was holding a leather whip on the side, and ran towards the gate of the camp here.

A rain ......of arrows fell behind the three men and nailed them into the ground.

The three of them seemed to have made up their minds to flee without fear of the consequences, they didn't look behind them at all, and the place where they were standing was only a few feet away from the gate, and in just a while, they had already rushed to Li Tianqi and the others.

Several Turkic soldiers who were riding on low horses and following Li Tianqi and the others drew their scimitars and rode forward to slash at the man in the lead.

On the side of the man's body, he dodged the blade of the Turkic cavalry, hugged his hands, and dragged the Turkic cavalry off his horse, while he took advantage of the situation to turn over and get on the horse, and at the same time snatched the scimitar in the hand of the Turkic soldier who fell off the horse with a copy of his right hand.

This series of actions was done in one go, and it seemed that everyone was just working in the blink of an eye, and immediately the people under the horse changed positions. The man's two companions did not show weakness, and both successfully snatched the horses and turned on their horses.

The three of them brandished scimitars and rushed towards the gate.

The Turkic cavalry drew their swords one after another, some brandished scimitars to let Li Tianqi and the others go in quickly, while others blocked the three people, but the three people had turned their horses' heads and galloped their horses, and their hasty interception did not work, so the three people rushed out of the gate of the wall.

The sentry on the wall of the wall hurriedly bent the bow and arrows, and the "Xiu Xiu ......" was another rain of arrows, and the captain shouted a few times, leading twenty or thirty cavalry to chase out, while the rest of the people continued to wave their swords to let Li Tianqi and others continue to advance, and the gate of the village began to close slowly.

Two Hai Dongqing also reappeared from the sky, following the three of them......
