Chapter 68: A Thousand Miles Away
After coming to the vicinity of the Ashina tribe, Ge Dahai secretly hid.
He always kept in mind the task arranged by Li Yan, and he wanted to make sure that the Turkic king's tent would not get the news of the arrival of the Tang army.
Therefore, Ge Dahai must be here now, once this tribe has a suspicious act of transmitting the message, even if he exchanges his life, he will have to delay the time and wait for Li Yan to arrive in the Mobei grassland.
Fortunately, the people of the Ashina tribe did not deduce the real situation through clues, and their always arrogant personality made them not rush to interrogate Zhou Cheng.
Just began to deal with the prey obtained by this trip.
"It seems that the snow disaster in the Mobei grassland in winter is not light."
Judging from the current situation of the Ashina tribe, Ge Dahai has come to such a conclusion.
After waiting for more than an hour, feeling that the Ashina tribe should not have guessed the movement of the Tang army, Ge Dahai quickly returned to the place where the Gobi and the grassland met.
He knew very well that if he wanted to save Zhou Cheng, he had to wait for Li Yan to arrive.
Only the cavalry charge can hope to destroy the top strong clan in Mobei like the Ashina tribe.
It was not until the afternoon that the cavalry troops led by Li Yan finally walked out of the Gobi.
Now the soldiers are in acceptable condition, but they can obviously feel a little tired.
"Boss ......"
Ge Dahai and Zhang Qiang came to Li Yan together.
The two explained the results of the completion of the task, and Ge Dahai also reported to Li Yan the situation of Zhou Cheng being captured alive.
"Zhou Cheng was arrested?"
Li Yan frowned slightly, he didn't expect such variables in the plan.
Although the incident was a bit unexpected, how could Li Yan let his subordinates sacrifice in vain! Especially if Zhou Cheng is still alive until he is still alive.
"Full speed ahead, save people!"
Without hesitation at all, Li Yan quickly made a decision.
Anyway, fighting a small tribe is a fight, and fighting a big tribe is also a fight, and Li Yan is still very confident in his combat ability to lead the cavalry.
"Ge Dahai, tell me more about the situation of that tribe."
While leading people in the direction guided by Ge Dahai, Li Yan revised the combat plan according to the actual situation.
Although Li Yan is confident, he also knows that Mobei is the base camp of the Turks, and the real tough battle will only start now.
"That's a big tribe, at least five times larger than the Chuyue tribe in Monan, and according to my observations, they now have more than four thousand troops......
Ge Dahai was full of worry about the situation of this tribe.
As the top clan in Mobei, although they suffered heavy losses in this once-in-a-century snowstorm, they were still able to maintain a combat strength of more than 4,000 young and middle-aged people.
This is definitely a tough battle for Li Yan's cavalry team.
"Four thousand......"
Li Yan thought to himself.
With 1,200 cavalry, it is obviously not very realistic to meet a large tribe of 10,000 people with 4,000 young and middle-aged combat power.
But since Li Yan has the confidence to bring people to Mobei to engage in the "decapitation operation", he naturally has the hole cards that have not been used.
Extract ......
Li Yan extracted several objects in glass bottles from "Minecraft".
These glass bottles are significantly different from normal jars filled with potions, as they are thinner and have a shape that has a thin head and a round tail.
If an MC player sees this potion at this moment, they will definitely recognize it.
It's a splash-type potion of weakness!
took out this potion, and Li Yan's combat method did not need to continue to guess.
Li Yan clearly planned to personally rush into the other tribe, and then throw a splash-type weakness potion before his own people entered.
He wants to put a negative effect on all the Turks in the tribe, when the group of Turks who are already suffering from winter are hung with a weak effect, they will lose more than eighty percent of their combat ability.
In this way, it was possible to confront 4,000 men head-on with 1,000 horsemen.
After making up his mind, Li Yan once again sped up the speed of the army.
Now that Zhou Cheng was captured alive by the Turks, every minute of delay would be more dangerous, and Li Yan couldn't wait to rush to the place immediately and start a war directly.
With this mentality, all they did was to let the war horse rest for half an hour before they were about to reach their destination, and then according to the formation that had been practiced in the past few days of actual combat, they began to besiege the Ashina tribe, a 10,000-strong clan!
Under Li Yan's command, the soldiers did not charge at the first time, but waited until Li Yan entered the Ashina tribe from the main gate alone for three minutes before starting the operation.
During these three minutes, the mood of the Ashina tribe Turkic people changed in a variety of ways.
For the first time, they saw Li Yan entering alone, wielding a halberd to bring up pieces of snowflakes.
At this moment, all the Turks were confused.
You know, this is the hinterland of Mobei, and this is the royal Ashina tribe!
Where did this Tang people dare to come here to kill? What's more, it's still alone!
After a minute, the Turks who reacted picked up their scimitars and prepared to surround and kill Li Yan, but found that they couldn't hold a move in front of Li Yan at all.
At this moment, they were a little panicked, and someone began to report the situation to the Tuli Khan.
"Khan, a Tang man has been killed, I know this Tang man, he is a general in Fengzhou! Before the winter, the Mukun tribe besieged him, and he could defeat two hundred horsemen alone. ”
This person actually knows Li Yan's face!
He was the one who had ordered the Mukun tribe to treacherously send 200 horsemen to besiege and kill Li Yan.
He was the brainchild of the Ashina tribe, and he saw Li Yan's potential in the future, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, Li Yan would hit the Ashina tribe.
"What? The general of Toyoshu? Not good, the Tang army is coming! ”
The moment Tuli Khan learned of Li Yan's identity, he understood the seriousness of the matter.
Unexpectedly, the Tang army came to the hinterland of Mobei and came to the camp of the royal Ashina tribe!
There is only one possibility in this situation, that is, the Tang army took advantage of the weakness of the Turks after the snow disaster to capture the entire Monan with lightning speed, so that Mobei did not get any news.
And, now the purpose of this team's emergence is already obvious.
They're just here to get into trouble with themselves!
Tuli Khan didn't think that Li Yan's real purpose was to save people at all, he just thought that Li Yan might have reached his position as Tuli Khan.
"Quick, send someone to break through, go to the king's tent, and inform the Great Khan that the Tang army is coming, quick!"
Tuli Khan was instantly shocked into a cold sweat.
The reason why the Turks were able to gather a large army of 100,000 to enter the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty last year was entirely because Wang Tent came forward to gather the strength of the entire steppe.
Now, just after winter, all parts of the grassland are recuperating.
Once this team has taken down the Ashina tribe, their next target will definitely be the king's tent!
You know, there are less than a thousand guards in the king's tent today!
