308, 800 miles to Chang'an!

The distance of several miles was enough for the herdsmen fleeing south to hear the shouts of killing behind them, and many herdsmen stopped and turned their heads just in time to see a small group of people with armor on their bodies that could no longer see where they belonged charging towards a large wave of people in the north.

They knew that the person who charged must be the army of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and apart from them, no one would rush to the enemy army on the grassland for a group of herdsmen!

Many Turkic men have tears in their eyes, which are tears of emotion and grievance! When did the Turks not resist in the steppe?

These herdsmen really want to turn their horses' heads and follow the soldiers who protect them to rush and kill, so that the enemy knows that the most powerful wolves in this steppe are still Turks!

However, in the herdsmen's team who retreated south, those sensible old men said a word: "Don't go, the horses under our crotch are not war horses, and if you go, you will die in vain!" Don't waste the sacrifice of our soldiers, wait until we get to the capital protection mansion, change the horses, and then kill back to avenge the soldiers! ”

Shi Bo Mo and Chiser were still rushing to the northwest, they were still sixty miles away from the last wave of herdsmen from the northwest, and sixty-five miles away from the battlefield where She'er finally stormed!

But it was the distance of sixty-five miles that became a chasm between the two cousins, Shi Bo and She'er, who could never see each other.

In the final sprint, She'er used his life to protect the Tang herdsmen, just like those Tang squad leaders and those young Turkic soldiers, and used his body to build a barrier that held out until the herdsmen retreated.

The first battle of Dadu was over, and there were less than 400 Tiele people left in the group.

The gap is twice as large, and there is still the advantage of horses, and there are only 400 people left! This made Dadu a little suspicious, doubting the gap in combat power between the Tiele and the Turks, and also began to doubt whether his plan could succeed.

You must know that even after the Great War at the beginning of last year, the population base of the Eastern Turks is much larger than that of Tiele.

The sky began to fall with snowflakes.

It was as if the immortal heaven had released the first snow of the steppe ahead of schedule in order to sing an elegy for the Turkic soldiers who died protecting their compatriots with that snow-white holiness.

"Distinguish the corpses of the clansmen from those of the Turks."

Dadu said in a deep voice: "These Turks are admirable warriors, and they should be taken back by Immortal Heaven!" ”

"Yes!"

The Tielers, who had been fighting for more than an hour, had broken the heavy corpses into two piles, and it took another quarter of an hour.

"Little Khan!"

Only then did the commander beside him ask: "What should we do, do we continue to pursue?" These Turkic people who could have escaped for more than ten miles suddenly turned around and came back to charge, there must be a problem, the subordinates suspected, there were herdsmen not far ahead! ”

This can be thought of by the commander, how could he not think of it?

He shook his head and said, "Can't chase it!" More than an hour, enough for herdsmen to go out for twenty or thirty miles! We only have less than 400 men, and if we chase for a few dozen miles, I don't know if we will encounter other troops of the Turks. Even if we can't meet them, as long as we meet a little more herdsmen, we may not be able to eat them! Slowly step back, and now join Father Khan! ”

"Yes!"

The commander didn't say much about the instructions set by Magnanimity, although in his heart he wanted to continue the pursuit.

I have to say that Dadu's choice was very right, only thirty miles away, Shi Bobi's 20,000 army happened to meet the herdsmen who fled south.

"You guys, have you ever seen the deputy capital guard?"

When Jieli was in power, Shi Bobi would definitely not care about the life or death of Sheer. But now, the Turkic Khanate is gone, everyone has become a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and the relationship between cousins has naturally been repaired. So Shi Bo asked this most concerned question.

The response was the same: "No!" ”

"But!"

A middle-aged herdsman said: "When we were more than 30 miles behind, we found that there was a general behind us who rushed towards the enemy with his soldiers, I don't know if it was the deputy capital guard!" ”

"Which general brought how many people?"

"I don't know!"

"And how many people are on the other side?"

"I don't know!"

"Did the other party chase after you?"

"I don't know!"

!!

I don't know!

In the same way as Shi Bo's previous temper, such a Turkic would only be slashed to the ground with a knife!

After taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the depression in his heart, Shi Bobi turned to the political commissar and said: "Political commissar, there was a battle more than thirty miles ahead, and the Bendu Protector wanted to order the troops to be vigilant, and my colleagues sent General Chiser Heli to take two thousand people to the sentinel to investigate, I don't know what the political commissar wants?" ”

The political commissar didn't know what he meant by asking, and shook his head with a smile and said: "Du Hu is the first chief official of the Turkic Capital Protectorate, and you don't need to ask about it in military affairs, you just need to give an order, and the lower officials should obey it!" ”

"Thank you!"

Shi Bo arched his hand, turned to Chiser Heli and said, "General Chiser Heli, Pontus ordered you to lead a thousand elite soldiers to find out the news immediately." When you encounter most of the enemy, don't act rashly, come back immediately and report back! If you don't encounter the enemy, you must find out who led the team to rush and kill more than 30 miles away, and what the results were! If you meet She'er's deputy capital protector, you must bring him back! ”

"No!"

Chesse gave a military salute and turned to leave.

A thousand iron horsemen galloped in the northwest direction, a distance of thirty miles, and it only took half an hour while retaining horsepower.

The corpses that were piled up in two piles appeared in the sight of Chiser Heli, the larger one was the Tiele people, and the smaller one was the Turkic people wearing the armor of the Tang Dynasty.

Turning over and dismounting, Chiser led the soldiers to salute solemnly to his comrades, and then took a deep breath and said: "Half of them are on guard, and the other half are on guard, look at which team these Erze robes are!" ”

......

Chang'an, unlike the light snow in the grassland, it rains in winter. Gloomy has been the dominant color in the Chang'an sky in recent times.

"Click! Click! Click! ”

The sound of hurried horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the official road outside the Chunming Gate, and three knights wearing Datang armor shouted while riding their horses: "Urgent report!" Eight hundred miles expedited! Xue Yantuo, Gaochang, and the Western Turks invaded the steppe and rebelled! Please send troops and horses to rescue the Turkic Protectorate! ”

"What?"

The soldiers at the city gate were stunned for a moment, the Western Turks, Gaochang, and Tiele invaded the steppe and returned to the rebellion?

This Nima, impossible, right?

"What are you doing?"

The leader of the small team of city gate guards who was on duty kicked the soldier with a blue face: "Don't go to the guard quickly!" ”

After the commander finished speaking, he climbed on the back of the horse before the soldiers, and spat while facing the messenger who came to him: "Xue Yantuo, Gaochang, Western Turks and Hui on the dog day!" ”
