Chapter 169: Compensation for Land Cession

An unprecedented night battle.

The Datang side is well-fed and well-dressed, and the spirit of the people and horses has reached its peak.

The time of the sneak attack is chosen at the time of the sub...... When the other party slept soundly, he only left the necessary patrols around the royal court.

The dispatch of the wolf cavalry reduced the combat power of the royal court by more than half, and there were more than 10,000 people left at most.

Judging from the comparison of troops, the conditions for a sneak attack are already in place.

And morale is even more different.

Li Ran watched Wang Haibin and his son leave, and observed their movements with infrared telescopes, to put it bluntly, sitting firmly in the army.

"Brother Ran, you should go with the troops to kill a good one."

Pei Min looked regretful, such a blood-pumping battle Li Ran was shamefully shrunk at the back, where was the blood?

"A civilized and beautiful man like me, it is not suitable for me to use a knife, and besides, I want to take credit for Mao and Lao Wang's father and son."

Li Ran said that the hard-working person is the one who controls people, and watching from the wall is his style, seeing Pei Min's unconvinced appearance, he smiled, "If you have itchy hands, you can kill a wave by yourself, and you don't have to stay by my side." ”

"Then how can it be done, fighting together, the Turks will definitely scatter and flee, and there may be a defeated army passing by this side."

Pei Min finally didn't forget his job, how could there be a reason for the bodyguard to leave his employer.

The sound of fighting soon blew into my ears with the night wind...... It is worthy of the endless grassland, and the sense of on-site observation is first-class.

The raging flames burned the felt bags of the Turks, and Li Ran shook his head when he saw it.

"As I said earlier, putting hay and tents in a pile is purely an act of looking for death."

Pei Min couldn't wait to kick him down the hillside, doesn't this cool thing hurt his back, who told Wang Haibin the method of setting fire to the other party's camp, and who gave Wang Zhonghei the thing called fuel?

This fire definitely surpassed the 800,000 army that Zhuge Liang burned Cao Cao back then.

It is estimated that within twenty years, the Turks will be terrified at the sight of fire.

"Be careful, the rout is coming!"

Pei Min was worried about the situation, and a small group of fleeing Turks happened to be running in the direction of the small hill.

"Your flintlock pistols aren't vegetarian, dry."

Li Ran didn't panic, and even wanted to laugh a little...... After all, these Turks still have flames on their bodies, and they look good when they run.

Clothes stained with fuel must be burned alive unless they are immediately undressed, and using water is tantamount to hastening the death process.

Cruel but effective means of killing, Li Ran is fortunate that the by-product of the ore factory has refined the fuel oil, which is a big killer, although the amount is not much, but it is used in the most correct place, which is very good, and at the same time, it was also decided to include this dangerous goods in the absolute control props.

The bullets of the flintlock pistol solved the deserter with great ease.

It's like a microcosm of the entire battlefield...... The wolf cavalry was diverted, a surprise attack, asymmetrical weapons, all kinds of favorable factors were brought together, and tonight Datang would be the undisputed winner.

The flames burned all night.

The royal court of the Turks was reduced to nothing, and their morale and will were reduced to freezing point.

"Brother Ran, the Turks have surrendered!"

Pei Min yelled excitedly, and with the first light of the dawn Buddha, he smiled extraordinarily brightly.

This sneak attack battle is probably the most beautiful foreign war fought by Datang in decades.

"Well, I see, aren't you tired after yelling for a few hours?"

Li Ran rubbed his sour neck, drank the northwest wind all night, and he urgently needed a little hot water to moisten his throat.

Of course, the conditions do not allow it...... The banner representing the Turkic royal family fell suddenly, Li Ran took a deep breath, and rushed to the front line with Pei Min and other guards.

Corpses and blood were everywhere along the way, and most of the Turks were burned beyond recognition, and the smell of burning came to the nostrils.

Li Ran hurriedly exchanged the mask and put it on, it was still N95 level, thousands of fiat currency, and he didn't care about this shape.

He was thinking about more important things, such as what to say first thing after meeting the Turkic Khan.

You lose, or, Datang is powerful enough.

"I rarely play with fire."

Of course, the moment he got close to the other party, Li Ran blurted out something that didn't match what he thought at all, "The technique is not very good, and it burns a little hard." ”

Murder is nothing more than this.

The Turkic Khan raised his head with difficulty and looked directly at the strange-looking young man in front of him.

"You...... It's the immortal master of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Ran was very surprised that his fame was so great that the Turks were like thunder, but it was not surprising to think about it, Ashina Choyun that kid must have added fuel and vinegar to write about his deeds after his envoy, and the Turkic Khan was not a fool.

"You're amazing!"

A trace of fear and unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the Turkic Khan, and he still did not understand why the enemy army would avoid the eyes and ears of so many tribes on the periphery and directly kill the royal court.

He didn't even know what that strange flame on the battlefield yesterday was...... All the unknowns have made this steppe wolf lose confidence, and there is a sudden collapse of human hope.

"Give me a good treat, as a captive, that's all I ask."

The Turkic Khan looked at the guards beside him, "I have always asked you that the Tang Dynasty has a benevolent and righteous style, and these servants, you can use them as slaves and spare them a life." ”

"Khan!"

The guards burst into tears and vowed to live and die with the king.

"Tsk, what a touching picture, do you want me to give you an award?"

Li Ran smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Or, I'll change my attention and send you on the road together, anyway, you have such a heart." ”

"What! You mean, you can let us go? ”

is worthy of being the head of the Turks, and Wu Zetian, who has not fallen behind for many years, only one sentence proves that his IQ is online, and this defeat is purely a combination of various unfavorable factors.

Therefore, Li Ran really wanted to change his mind and kill him...... This kind of smart person, Ashina can't play most of them.

"Of course, if I'm determined to kill you, you won't even have a chance to surrender."

In the end, Li Ran insisted on his own opinion, conquered the other party with more clever means, and doubled his sense of achievement.

What he wants is not a moment of peace, but a century-old advantage...... The kind that the Turks can never reverse, not even the kind of Genghis Khan.

The Turkic Khan's eyes showed an incredible exclamation, and after confirming that the young man was not joking, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Then, tell me your terms."

Obviously, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and he is ready to pay the price.

"Refreshing, four words, compensation for land cession!"

The war is for profit, the lion opened his mouth and didn't say it, the Turkic Khan can keep it, but the money to buy his life cannot be less.

Li Ran took out the map and drew a circle.

"This land, give us, and compensate some cattle and sheep, 500,000 heads each."

“…… You'd better kill me! ”

The Turkic Khan shook his head directly...... But as long as Li Ran has a little sincerity, he wants to live.

But are these conditions really something that a normal person can propose?
