In the fifth year of Zhenguan, October 15, the grassland that has entered winter is a little cold.

At noon, the sun did not hang, but instead it was gloomy. This is not a warning, but the grassland will be cold and snowy for a long time to come.

Shi Modi, who has lived in the grassland for almost thirty years (was originally a slave without a name, after the grassland was taken over by the Tang Dynasty, all the people without a surname in the grassland were surnamed Shi. He was accustomed to this kind of weather, but he felt that this year's winter would not be difficult to get through, and although the family had an official mother-in-law, although it was not beautiful, there was finally a woman in the family.

After half a year of hey, the woman's belly has bulged. Smoddy feels that his aunt's belly is the hope of his life. It's like the days when it's getting better and better enough to survive the winter without having to follow others to raid.

As long as it continues to be stable like this, next year we will raise more 100 sheep, graze during the day and go home at night to have a hot stove for wives and children, how good is it?

Just as Smody was immersed in the beautiful life that was getting closer and closer, he was suddenly awakened by a rumbling sound in the distance.

Looking up, the black-pressed cavalry appeared in Smoddy's sight.

White felt hats, scimitars, longbows, and the Hui people should not be in the pastures further north?

Smoddy was stunned, this, put a good day, but come out to walk the horse?

It's not like that!

Don't!

A man who has experienced so many wars, where does Smoddy not know the meaning of this kind of dress, this is looting!

But now, who can't survive the winter in the entire grassland? What else do you need to loot for, is it not to maintain the tradition and deliberately come out to slip away?

"There's someone there, shoot him!"

While Smoddy was still thinking, someone in the reply gave an order.

"Whew!"

An arrow came north, and before Smoddy could dodge, he fell in a pool of blood! He never thought that the other party was really here to rob!

A person who is hit by an arrow does not die immediately as long as he is not shot in the head.

Caught in the chest, Smoddy spat blood from his mouth and twisted his head with difficulty, looking in the direction of his tent.

I hope that my mother-in-law and the child in my belly can be saved from being killed, blessed by the heavens of eternal life, blessed by Your Majesty, and blessed by Tang Langjun!

This is Smoddy's last prayer in this life.

......

More western, Star, a Turkic soldier who had descended to the Tang Dynasty, was the vice-captain of a pair of rangers. Almost every team of rangers is configured like this, with a Turkic who can speak some Chinese as the deputy captain, and the captain is naturally an authentic Tang Dynasty soldier. A team of 10 rangers, one man and two horses, the whole steppe, such a team of rangers had 2,000 teams.

Like the Turks who descended to the Tang Dynasty, these rangers were kept under the control of the Turkic Protectorate, and were managed by the Turkic Khan and Ashina Sheer.

Datang never considered that this group of people would rebel, and 100,000 Turkic cavalry was nothing to the current Datang.

What's more, the current Turks are really unwilling to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and they don't want to live a day of poverty and embarrassment, especially the kind of winter when they have to kill the old and weak for the winter.

As for whether the captain of the Tang people can lead a Turkic team, there is no need to consider it, the Turks who have been defeated are no longer thorns.

The captain of the Han people, a thirty-year-old veteran, walked in the front, and Star walked in second, and the team went on a routine parade. Whenever there is an invasion from outside forces, the Ranger will sound the flare and then retreat under the cover of grenades.

I heard that many squads had encountered Xue Yantuo, but Shi Da had never encountered it.

He said to the captain in broken Chinese: "Captain, when do you say we can meet Xue Yantuo once?" I've heard that the two hundred and forty-two squad members were promoted to centurions because they met Xue Yantuo and then reported the news. ”

The captain glanced at the Turkic deputy beside him, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Holy shit, do you have a big feces in your head?" Okay, I don't want to, what do you want to meet Xue Yantuo's troops? The promotion is so good, I don't know that only four of the ten people in the two hundred and forty-two squad went back? Don't think about these pickled things in the future, it's best if the big guy is safe and sound! That indicates that our grassland herdsmen are fine, and we are fine! ”

The word "pickled", Shi Da doesn't understand, only knows that it is not a good word.

As for the words behind the captain, Shi Da felt that he didn't have such a high consciousness, being a soldier, not thinking about being promoted, what kind of soldier to be?

Bad spirits do not work well!

Of course, this is only true for Star, a guy who wants to make meritorious contributions.

The conversation between the two hadn't been down for long, and Star suddenly felt a faint rumbling sound!

He had been a soldier during the time of Jieli Khan, and he suddenly turned over and dismounted, and put his ear to the ground.

"Good boy!"

Star's face immediately put an excited look on his face: "Captain, Northwest, a large number of cavalry is coming!" We're going to make meritorious contributions too! ”

After working with each other for a few months, the captain naturally knows that Star's ears are good!

There was not the slightest excitement on his face, but instead a solemn one! He said: "The hammer is a meritorious service, tell the brothers, retreat slowly, wait to see who the other party is, immediately release the signal flare, let's not be stupid to let people catch up!" ”

The Turkic man thinks this captain is a bit cowardly! It's not like the Tang man who was able to ride on a horse and hold a horse lance to sprint into the ranks of the Turks last year.

He pursed his lips, a little depressed about how he had followed such a cowardly captain.

But he still passed on the captain's words, no way, although the family is an authentic Tang person?

The team turned their horses around and retreated.

After about a stick of incense, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the northwest grassland.

“******！”

The sharp-eyed Turkic soldiers in the team saw the other party's clothes clearly and reported the details of the other party.

"What did he say?"

The captain leaning over the horse asked Star!

"Tiele people!"

Star shuddered and replied loudly, "He said, it seems that the other party has at least 50,000 people!" ”

At this moment, Star finally felt that the captain was right, and it was better to meet Tiele talents!

Nima, the other party's 100,000 people, if they rush over, their ten people will lose the "heavenly punishment", and there will be no way to defeat it!

"Run!"

The captain decisively gave the order: "Full speed run!" ”

What do you do if you don't run, wait for death?

Star grabbed his horse's belly and ran forward with the captain.

Just as the patrol cavalry squad was galloping quickly, Dadu, who was at the forefront on horseback, gave an order: "Light cavalry, catch up with them, and die!" ”

Hundreds of Tiele elite horsemen swarmed up, and a battle of life and death was officially staged.

Tiele is a horse that uses the best horses on the mountain of the Yu Overseer, which is more than half as good as the horses of the rangers. It's just that the rangers are all lightly armed and barely wear any armor on their bodies.

The speed of the two sides was evenly matched for a while!

Starr breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know anything about relativity, but he knew that if they continued like this, the enemy wouldn't be able to catch up with them.

However, the good times didn't last long, and Star's team ran for a short time before they found a small group of tents. There are about a dozen or more accounts.

Those are the Don Turks!

"What should I do?"

Starr was out of options!

Run over, there is no doubt that those compatriots in the tent will definitely be killed by the Tiele people!

If you don't run, your team will definitely be wiped out by the Tiele people!

Right now!

The captain suddenly lifted the reins and turned the horse around.

"Star!"

The captain shouted violently: "Give you two tasks, first, send a signal flare every five miles, with red ones!" Second, lead the brothers to find a way to save the herdsmen in the tent, and save as much as they can! Save and flee to the Metropolitan Protectorate! Remember, cattle and sheep can be left unwanted, and horses must be taken away! ”

"What about you?"

Star, who stopped with the captain, couldn't help but ask.

I saw that the captain grinned and said, "Lao Tzu has a grenade here, I'm going to delay you for a while!" ”

After the captain finished speaking, he rushed directly in the direction of Xue Yantuo's cavalry, not giving Shi Da time to stop at all.

The wind seemed to be roaring at this moment, and the captain's voice was mixed with the wind and reached Star's ears.

He clearly heard the captain's words: "Shida of the dog day, remember the order that Lao Tzu gave you, don't put a lot of shit in your head, just think about killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions." It would be a great fucking if you saved a few more of these herdsmen! ”

This moment!

Star's eyes suddenly turned red!

Where would he have thought that the captain who was laughing at the cowardly gourd in his heart a moment ago rushed towards hundreds of cavalry without hesitation at this moment. Just to save the Turkic herders who have nothing to do with him!

It was also at this moment that he suddenly figured out that there was once a time in his battalion where there was a fight between a Turkic deputy captain and a Han captain. The civil official called the political commissar in the Imperial Protectorate scolded and said: "Fuck, whether it's Turkic or Han, you are all Tang people, what are your skills in fighting each other?" Your ability should be to shed your blood to protect the people and protect your compatriots. ”

Looking at the captain who was getting closer and closer to the Tiele people, he listened to the captain's roar in the wind: "Fuck take the herdsmen to run!" ”

Shi Da gritted his teeth, and shouted in Turkic with red eyes: "Come with Lao Tzu to protect the herdsmen and retreat!" ”

"Boom!"

A familiar voice came from behind him, and Star knew that the cowardly captain had already encountered the Tielers. The roar was the "grenade" in the captain's mouth, and the sound that came out after the "Heavenly Punishment" in his mouth exploded.

"Hurry! Get on your horse, the Tiele people are coming, let's go! ”

Star, who happened to walk to the herdsman's camp, could only keep urging the herdsmen to get on the horse with tears in his eyes.

"Boom!"

The sound of the explosion continued, and Starr did not dare to reply, he could only urge the herdsmen to leave quickly, praying that the roar would never stop. Because, as long as the roar doesn't stop, it means that the captain who seems to be instigating the actual hero is not dead!
