The sun slowly rose over the horizon, first shining on the walls of the cow heart, and soon the whole land was enveloped in the early morning sun.

The sky is beautiful, there is no snow today, and the wind is not very strong.

However, there is a flock of vultures hovering in the air, ready to rush down at any moment.

There are a few crows standing on the castle tower, "Ya~Ya~" constantly chirping.

After more than an hour of fighting, the forward battalion completely captured the cow heart pile.

"Lord Wang, preliminary inventory, this time we have lost more than sixty people, and more than 100 people were injured, of which dozens of people were seriously injured."

Although it was winter, Wang Xuance was sweating profusely, and there were a lot of blood stains on his body.

"Congratulations to the prince, you have won a great victory."

Su Lie also came to Li Kuan's side covered in blood, with a big smile on his face.

In the era of cold weapon warfare, 4,000 people attacked a tribe of more than 10,000 people, and only more than 60 people died on their own side, and a small half of them were trampled to death in the war, which was already a rare victory.

However, Li Kuan didn't have much smile on his face.

Seven or eight tribes were swept before, and there were not many people lost in total, and today there were almost two hundred killed and wounded in one day, which is still a bit beyond his ability to accept.

Although it is said that it will be a success, whether it is Su Lie or Xue Li, all the people of this era feel that today is a big victory, and some sacrifice is inevitable.

But Li Kuan still hopes that his forward battalion can bring back as many people as he wants.

"Those who died in battle have all been cremated, personal information has been recorded, and the king wants to bring back their ashes. The injured let Lin Ran lead people to rescue with all their might. ”

Li Kuan took a deep breath, endured the discomfort, and began to give orders.

The Tianzhu part of the attack this time was a large tribe of Tuyuhun, with a population of more than 10,000 people, most of whom became prisoners; In addition, there are countless cattle, sheep and horses, all of which are still being counted.

Da Fei's slave catching team could no longer keep up with Li Kuan's rhythm after dealing with seven or eight tribes in succession, and now they had to clean up the battlefield by themselves in the forward battalion.

Fortunately, Li Kuan didn't want to attack Fu Qi City head-on, so he was not in a hurry to march, and he could rest for a few days in Niuxindui.

The army has been eating and sleeping all the way, and it really needs to slow down a little.

One piece and one relaxation is the king.

There is still a more difficult road ahead, and it is necessary for everyone to recover.

……

In Fu Qi City, Fu Yun drank wine as usual and watched the dancing girls in the palace dance.

"Khan, it's not good, just now a few herdsmen escaped back from the cow heart pile, saying that a large number of Tang troops appeared there, overwhelming the whole world, and surrounded the cow heart pile."

A guard hurriedly came from outside and brought Fu Yun bad news.

"What? Tang Jun appeared in the cow heart pile? ”

Fu Yun's face changed, don't look at the fact that he has always attacked the capital of the Tang Frontier in the past two years, but he has never fought a large-scale frontal battle with the Tang army, because he knows very well in his heart that if he fights head-on, even if Tuyuhun wins, he will not be able to fight the consumption of the Tang Dynasty.

This is also why when Duan Zhixuan led his troops to attack last year, Fu Yun only briefly exchanged troops with him a few times, and then kept retreating.

Of course, there is a consideration to lure the enemy into depth, but the reluctance to resist Datang is also an important reason.

"Yes, I heard that there are Tang troops on all sides, and I asked the Khan to send troops to rescue!"

The people who escaped from Niu Xindui actually didn't have time to understand the Tang Army's attack clearly, but in order to show that they were not incompetent, everyone must describe the situation as grim.

"Immediately send out a scout horse to inquire about the situation in the direction of Niu Xindui, and then gather a large army and prepare to meet it."

Fu Yun is also the Khan of a country, but he will not run away as soon as he hears that the Tang army is coming.

Only if you are sure that Datang is really not good at coming, and you can't resist hard, will you retreat; This trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, allowing Tuyuhun to avoid the disaster of destroying the country many times.

……

On the grassland of Xihai County in the former Tang Dynasty, Li Jing was moving forward quickly with a large army.

These soldiers did not have down jackets, woolen jackets and whale boots to protect them from the cold like the forward battalion, and they marched on the ice and snow all the way, and slept in the open, which can be described as being prepared for hardships.

However, up to now, apart from the hard march, there has been no fighting, and there have been no major complaints.

"Chief, the tribes that have passed by this way have been cleansed, and in two days, we will almost be able to reach the Ox Heart Heap. That was an important stronghold in Tuyuhun, and his subordinates estimated that the forward battalion should be waiting for us at Niuxindui. ”

Although Mao Laosi is not young, his skills are still good, and the most important thing is that he is deeply trusted by Li Jing, so this time he still acts as the commander of Li Jing's personal guards.

"There are at least a few thousand soldiers and horses in the Niuxindui, if the forward battalion rushes hard, the losses must be very heavy, I hope Su Lie can persuade His Royal Highness the King of Chu to come down, and then capture it in one go after the army converges."

Li Jing was anxious and kept urging the whole army to speed up the march.

"Chief Administrator, I look at His Royal Highness the King of Chu and his person, in fact, he likes to do things the most, and he shouldn't do tough things. The destruction of the Western Turkic army in Liangzhou was unexpected by everyone, and maybe there would be a miracle this time. ”

"I hope so!"

Li Jing sighed, clamped the horse's belly, and unconsciously sped up the trip.

……

The closer you get to the cow heart pile, the more scattered tribes there are.

Whether it is Li Kuan's forward battalion or the army led by Li Jing, it is difficult to completely hide the Tuyuhun people.

In the past two days, the scouts have been able to encounter several groups of Tuyuhun people every day, and they have hurt each other.

Xue Li: "Lord Wang, the chief manager should be able to rush to Niuxindui tomorrow evening, yesterday Tuyuhun's army tentatively attacked it, and immediately retreated, and it is estimated that their subordinates have also received the news that the army is coming." ”

Li Kuan: "Fu Yun's retreat, it is estimated that Fu Qi City will become an empty city." As soon as they left, we immediately chased after them and didn't give them time to breathe. ”

"Lord Wang, don't you wait for the army to arrive? After passing the city, they entered the mountainous area of Tuyuhun, and when the time came, it was easy to fall into their ambush if they were not careful. ”

Su Lie felt that at this moment, the safest thing was to set off with the army.

"Fu Yun is playing the same trick as last year, and when he saw our army coming, he retreated and dragged it out until we couldn't stand it anymore. This time, the king wanted them to know who couldn't stand it first. ”

Li Kuan had long expected that there would be a day of long-distance pursuit, Tuyuhun spanned thousands of miles from east to west, and many places were deserted, which was a very huge challenge for Datang.

However, for the Tuyuhun people, why is this not the case?
