After sunrise, the battle officially ended.

The sun shone down from the sky, "plating" the armor of the Tang Dynasty athletes with a layer of gilding, so that each of them was as majestic as a god in the world.

The preliminary results that are being counted are also brilliant and we cannot help but be proud.

More than 1,200 Tang Dynasty athletes crushed the resistance of more than 8,000 Gelulu soldiers and horses with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying. Captured 35 military ministers under the command of the special service medicine Luo Ge-Hu Sting, captured more than 6,700 Ge Lulu soldiers, and killed more than 900 enemy troops, while the Tang army's own battle losses were less than 100!

A few days ago, he also opened his teeth and claws and claimed that he would wait for the emperor to "welcome" the king's master, and with more than 20 cronies, he took advantage of the opportunity of the special service Hu Sting to lead the minister of civil and military affairs to surrender to the Tang army, rushed out of the camp through the back door and fled into Jinshan.

According to the rules of the grassland, even if he can escape this time, it will be difficult for him to gain the unanimous support of the Qarluq tribes in a short period of time. In the next decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, the Qarlu tribes could only be spectators in peace, and they never had the opportunity to bet on both sides.

"Has anyone found it? Who was the last to see them? Do you know where they went? In the splendid king's tent, Zhou Jianliang, the main general of this battle, did not have the slightest joy on his face. Frowning, he asked his nephew Zhou Quji, who had just made a great achievement.

"Not found, but to be sure, they weren't killed or captured by the Qarluqs!" Zhou Qujian responded loudly with sweat on his head. On the young face, there was also not much joy.

The First World War brought out the old nest of the Qarluqs, which is of course gratifying. However, if a merit test is recorded and a real team is lost, it will inevitably make the results a little flawed. In particular, this team was also valued by Zhang Qian, the guard of Broken Leaf Town, and Luo Huaizu, the secretary of the Broken Leaf Town, and was regarded as the pearl of the palm by all the officers and soldiers of the Broken Leaf Army Teaching Regiment.

"How do you know for sure?" Frowning and glancing at Zhou Quji, Zhou Jianliang continued to ask.

This matter is definitely not the responsibility of Zhou Quji. But as a guest general, he is uncomfortable commanding others, so he can only bother his nephew.

In addition, after the Turkic plough court is swept away, there will be no second alien race outside the Saiwai for at least twenty years. That means that the Shuofang army will have no battle to fight for a long time. And the four towns of Anxi will sooner or later have a direct conflict with the ambitious cannibals. If his nephew can be favored by Zhang Qian and stay in Broken Leaves, his future future will definitely far surpass that of his own five-rank Lieutenant.

"I just offered a reward to find someone among the Gelulu captives, and one of the Gelulu arrows reported that he had seen more than a dozen Tang soldiers riding horses and chasing them in the direction of Jinshan." Knowing that his uncle was thinking about himself, Zhou Quji didn't dare to slack off, and added in a dumb voice, "Later, I asked the soldiers of each regiment to join the army, and they all said that there were no brothers under their command to lose the system. Therefore, I deduced that Team Yang was working with Qiu Lu to find that Chengzong had escaped, and he didn't have time to ask for instructions, so he chased after them directly. ”

When Zhou Jianliang heard this, his mood suddenly relaxed, and then, he frowned tightly, "How many people did they go?" Were there any of the brothers who were killed or wounded who were part of the group of archers who took part in the capture of the bridge? ”

"They should all go, plus Team Yang himself, a total of eleven people." Zhou Quji's memory is very good, and the answer was given immediately. "According to the current statistics, the casualties of the brothers occurred mainly after the storming of the inner camp. And the Yang team did not act with the brigade, nor did they participate in the assault on the inner camp, so they should not have suffered any losses. ”

After thinking about it, he quickly added, "I asked the captives just now, and at about the same time that the stinger came out to ask for surrender, Chengzong escaped through the back door. If Team Yang had participated in the frontal assault, no matter which regiment they were with, they would not have been able to find out about it. Therefore, the greatest possibility is that after the Yang team entered the outer camp, they robbed the mounts of Ge Lulu's people, and immediately made a detour to the back door of the inner camp. ”

"What a good little lady! deserves to be regarded as Mulan's second by Zhang Zhenshou! When Zhou Jianliang heard this, he immediately couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

When he was replaced as the team, he would never have such a keen eye. After following the large group of men and horses, he entered the enemy camp and immediately deduced that the enemy commander might have escaped. And even if he had a flash of inspiration and could guess it, he didn't have the guts to block the retreat of the enemy commander with only a group of archers.

"Du Lieutenant, I want to ask a general to answer Yang Teamzheng!" In Zhou Quji's heart, he also admired Yang Chengliang's vision and courage. He arched his hand and asked for instructions in a loud voice.

As soon as the words fell, a shout suddenly came from outside the door of the king's tent, "Captain, the brigade leader of the first brigade of the teaching regiment, Zhang Si'an asks to see you." ”

"Come in and talk, Captain Zhang doesn't have to be so formal!" When Zhou Jianliang heard this, he immediately didn't bother to respond to his nephew first, turned his gaze to the door of the tent, and ordered with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, Lieutenant!" Zhang Si'an, the deputy captain of the teaching regiment and the leader of the first brigade, agreed, and stepped inside. first gave Zhou Jianliang a standard military salute, and then went straight to the point, "Lieutenant Qiyu, I just heard about it, Yang Chengliang, the first brigade of the teaching regiment, led ten archers to chase down Chengzong and entered Jinshan. Growing up in the countryside since childhood, she is familiar with the situation in the mountains, and is willing to lead her brothers to help her! ”

"You?" Zhou Jianliang looked at his nephew and then at Zhang Si'an, and suddenly felt a little undecided.

When the battle comes to this point, it doesn't matter whether Chengzong is dead or alive. However, if a captain with real power and a brigade with real power are sent into the mountains together for the sake of a team, it will inevitably be a bit of a fuss.

What's more, everyone has a black eye on the terrain and roads on this side of Jinshan. In case Yang Chengliang didn't answer, but instead put Zhou Quji, Zhang Si'an and others into it, at that time, he would definitely regret it!

Just as he was hesitating, he already remembered Luo Huaizu's suggestion, "Captain Zhou, let Zhang Si'an go, take the first brigade." He has more physical strength, and he is more familiar with Yang Chengliang. If the other party leaves a mark, it will be easier for him to find out! ”

"Hmmm! Just according to the secretary! Zhou Jianliang was reluctant to refute Luo Huaizu's face, and at the same time knew that the other party's words were indeed reasonable, so he nodded hesitantly. Two horses per person. No matter what the situation is, keep sending someone back every day to deliver the message. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Si'an solemnly bowed his hand.

Now that the decision has been made, Zhou Jianliang no longer looks ahead and backward, thinks about it for a while, and orders in a deep voice, "The brothers will rest here for four days, waiting for the Grand Protector and the marching commander Shi to come and take over the prisoners. Within four days, whether you find Yang Chengliang or Zhang Lushu or not, you must bring out all the brothers with all their beards. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Si'an saluted again, turned around and trotted out of the king's tent. Immediately after, the sound of horses' hooves and the sonorous sound of armor came in. Obviously, he had made relevant preparations before asking for help.

"It's a rare talent!" Zhou Jianliang walked to the window, watched Zhang Si'an and the others leave, and commented in his heart with a smile. Immediately, he set his eyes on the reckless gold mountain.

The hill on which the king's tent was located was at the foot of the Golden Mountain. Standing so close, you will find that this mountain is towering into the clouds, and it is far more majestic than any mountain range encountered on this expedition.

The snow on the top of the mountain that does not melt all year round gives people a sense of mystery and mystery, and people will unconsciously have a desire to climb to the highest place and explore the bottom of the clouds.

"You have to catch up with them before it gets dark." Next to a cliff in the inner mountains, Yang Chengliang jumped off his war horse and whispered to everyone around him. "Otherwise, once they take advantage of the night and throw us away, they won't want to find their traces again."

"It's hard!" Qiu Ruofeng also jumped off his mount, bending over to catch his breath while whispering in response. "The mountain road is too steep, and there are always cliffs on both sides, so the war horses can't run at speed. If they quietly set a trap ahead......"

"They don't dare, they don't know that it's just a few of us who have caught up, or hundreds of brothers." Yang Chengliang glanced at him and shook his head slightly, "If they delay for too long in order to deal with us, they will definitely lose more than they gain!" ”

This sentence was completely reasonable, and the rest of the archers nodded in agreement.

As soon as they entered the Golden Mountain, both sides discovered each other's existence. In terms of troops, the side of Qarluq Khan Chengzong has an absolute advantage. However, this person only fled with all his strength with his cronies, and resolutely did not stop to face the battle. The reason for this is that I dare not guarantee that there are only eleven people in the Tang Army who have caught up.

"Even so, it's not so easy for us to get closer." Qiu Ruofeng was a little unable to pull his head, and continued to gasp and remind, "This kind of road, there is no difference between good horses and bad horses. Sometimes, walking is faster than riding a horse. ”

This is basically true. The archers smiled at him kindly and nodded slightly.

The roads in Jinshan are too dangerous, or rather, they can't be called roads at all. Many times, people have to jump down and pull their mounts away. If you chase too quickly, I'm afraid that before the two sides fight, someone on your side will fall off the cliff on the side of the road and fall into a ball of flesh.

"You're right, someone needs to go to the front on foot and block their way!" This time, Yang Chengliang did not make any rebuttal to Qiu Ruofeng, but followed his words and solemnly proposed.

"What do you say?" I already knew that this woman was very bold, but Qiu Ruofeng was still taken aback, and his eyes instantly widened.

It is already so dangerous to follow the path that the opponent has walked, and there are still people who plan to copy in front of the opponent? That means that everyone can explore a shortcut on their own without any guide or map. Or, find a way to find a new path from where no one has walked before!

"I said, according to your proposal, let's take a shortcut on foot and block the enemy chieftain!" Throwing a provocative glance at Qiu Ruofeng, Yang Chengliang began to move his hands and feet to soothe his muscles and bones, "This mountain road turns all over the place, but it always sticks to a valley washed out by a flood. I guess that the passage through the golden mountain in the end must also have something to do with this valley. Therefore, our troops are divided into two ways, and we will find a way to go in a straight line all the way and block the enemy chief from the front. All the way, continue to bluff after him. In this kind of terrain, as long as a bow and two pots of arrows hold the key position, the way of the enemy chief can be blocked. He fled in a hurry, taking neither food nor a water bottle with him. After being blocked by us, you will either choose to be captured, or you will starve to death! ”
