0575 Although the battle is abundant, the return is unpredictable

"Which part of the warrior are you? Hurry up and follow me to hunt down the Zahu ahead! They are fleeing out of the valley with a large amount of gold and silver! ”

Shortly after leaving Qingshui Castle and heading south, one of the scouts encountered another group of knights, one of whom looked more eye-catching, but wore long braids and dressed as a Turkic nobleman.

Although braiding hair is not only a Turkic tradition, but the Turks have dominated the desert for more than a hundred years, and there are many entanglements with the Central Plains Dynasty or war or peace, and a certain chapter uniform system has already been formed, which other Zhuhu does not have.

Therefore, when they saw that the man was dressed in accordance with Turkic etiquette, and raised his hand and threw out some gold and silver artifacts to them, these Turkic cavalrymen did not suspect him, and subconsciously followed.

When they reached a remote corner of the river valley, the noble man who led the way in front suddenly stopped and shouted, "Right here! ”

As soon as the words fell, the nobleman turned his horse behind him and shot back at those Turkic scouts, and hundreds of soldiers rushed out between the surrounding ravines, which were the Tuyuhun soldiers who had been Turkic vassals before.

Although these Tuyuhun troops were far less armed than the elite of the Turkic scouts, they were not without skill.

Like the Turks were born as forging slaves in the desert, Tuyuhun was able to dominate Hexi, relying on excellent horse control skills, and it was precisely because of this that he was coveted by the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

As soon as the Tuyuhun appeared, they each occupied a high point, threw down their long hooks, accurately hit the mounts of the Turkic scouts below, controlled the movement of the Turkic army, and then swarmed and slashed. Although the efficiency of such a fight is slow, it is also quite beneficial to deal with small groups of Turkic cavalry.

"You wait until the battlefield is cleared, and I will lead a group of Turkic cavalry here. Accumulate some more heads, and after the Tang Army returns, we can survive! ”

Murong Luxury, who pretended to be a Turkic nobleman, returned on horseback, shook the back of his hair and continued.

He doesn't look like a Turkic, and it is still quite difficult to pretend to be a Turkic nobleman, but because he can understand Turkic language, he hooked up with Mo Si, and because Mo Si broke his hair and humiliated him, making his dress very deceptive, the more Turkic elite, the less suspicious he is. At present, it can be used to trap and kill a part of the Turkic army, hoping to please the later Tang army.

After all, compared with the cruelty and tyranny of the Turks, the Tang Army's reputation is still better. Moreover, the news of the coup d'Γ©tat in the Tang Kingdom, they have also heard a lot, and Mo Si used this to lure them.

Now that they have broken with the Turks, if they can't get the understanding of the Tang State, they will really die without a place to bury. Moreover, the Tang State is in turmoil, and if you want to re-stabilize the situation in the states, you must rely more on them.

In addition to the Tuyuhun Murong clan quietly booby-trapping the Turkic soldiers, the other Hu chieftains in the river valley were also carrying out such activities.

As for the idea, it is naturally more or less similar to Murong Luxury, and in addition to asking for the understanding of the Tang Kingdom, those goods that have been robbed by the pawns and thrown inside and outside are really tempting, who can regard money as dung?

Of course, if these miscellaneous people want to completely contain the Turks, they can't do it, otherwise they won't be used as consumables by the Turks. But even if they can't stand up to a large crowd of Turkic troops, they can still besiege some lone Turks.

If the Turks were actively creating chaos by trapping the Zhuhu tribe in the river valley before, now the chaos in the river valley is completely out of the control of the Turks.

Moreover, the Tang army that suffered from the turmoil at that time at least had a city defense to rely on, but before the Turks entered the city, the Zhuhu Department had already entered the city first, and now the chaos inside and outside the city is almost the same, and the Turks are completely engulfed in it, and it is difficult to deal with various changes as a whole.

Of course, it is also very difficult to make these miscellaneous people completely consume the fighting power of the Turks. The chaos of the miscellaneous beards was so serious before, but the Tang army defending the city also said that they would leave, and in the face of the real elite army, the ability of these miscellaneous beards to exert was actually very limited.

The reason why the Turkic army was plagued by the riots for a long time was mainly due to the choice of the Turkic warriors themselves. They did not have the grand vision of the Mosi Khan, and all they saw were Hu people scurrying around with beautiful goods, so as to chase and plunder, and take the spoils of war into their own pockets.

Therefore, after several strict orders and urgings, it was not until nearly late afternoon that the Turkic army gradually gathered around the city. When this gathering, the battle damage was clearly manifested, and more than 1,000 or nearly 2,000 soldiers were still missing.

However, apart from Mo Si and the other Turkic generals, who were frightened by this, the ordinary Turkic soldiers were not very impressed, and they were each carrying a large amount of goods in their arms or horses, and they were calculating how much they would receive this time.

"You must not stay in this realm for a long time, each carrying rations, ready to withdraw at any time!"

It was obviously a victory in the pursuit of the rout, but the battle damage caused by the result was the highest in the south, and Mo Si felt even more terrible about materialism. Everything needs to be measured, and the assets and goods left by the Tang people have exceeded their current capacity, and if they are obsessed with this and cannot extricate themselves, the catastrophe may not be far away.

But when the Khan's military order was delivered, the Turkic warriors had bitter faces. Because of their limited transportation capacity, they mainly collect some gold, silver, pearls and jade and other valuable and easy-to-carry goods, as for grain, iron and other things, they are brain cramps, so they will come to the territory of the Tang Kingdom to carry a few bags of grain and rice back to the plug!

Therefore, although the Khan strictly ordered his soldiers to carry ten days' rations each, there were still many Turkic soldiers who disobeyed the law. They came south on this trip, and they were used to looting along the way, and they felt that even if they ran out of rations, they could just grab them again. But if you change places, you may not be able to get so many treasures and goods after the first battle.

Even if he was full of a sense of crisis, it was difficult to strictly inspect every soldier's bag. And even he himself was still hesitant at the moment, wanting to carry more goods.

Most of the Zahu tribes in the valley have been hunted down and scattered, with only more than 2,000 servants remaining, and all of them are from different tribes.

They are bound between their hands and feet, and retain a certain ability to move, but they are not completely free to move. And even those bindings are silk and other fabrics left by the Tang army in the castle, in order to carry as much money as possible, Mo Si can be said to rack his brains and do everything.

But even so, for the rest of the day, only a part of the goods they had sorted out and carried out were still very important, and it was difficult to set off again today, and it would be even more dangerous if they were attacked in the wild.

It's not like there's no way to solve the problem at hand, and get the best of both worlds.

"If we can recruit the rest of the Hequ states, we will definitely be able to empty the entire original state!"

Mo Si thought about it without emotion, but quickly rejected the idea.

After the fall of the Eastern Turks, the Tang Dynasty did not rush to exterminate, in order to balance the increasingly arrogant Xue Yantuo, the remnants of the Turks were placed in the six states of Hequ, that is, Shengzhou, Xiazhou, Yinzhou and other places, which is the base camp of the Turkic headquarters, at least tens of thousands of Turkic remnants live.

As for the Turkic Khanate, which is now resurrecting in the desert, it is mainly the eastern Turkic tribesmen, that is, the old tribe of the Turki Khan, the nephew of Jieli Khan. Including the Gu Dulu brothers, their fathers were once part of the Tuli Khan.

After the fall of the Turks, the Eastern Turks were placed under the jurisdiction of the Shan Yu Protectorate, and after the death of the Turkic Khan, his son Heluo Hu was exiled for rebellion, and the Turki Khan family lost control of the Eastern Turks. The lower-level chieftains, such as the Gu Dulu family, began to directly obey Tang Guo's orders.

The Eastern Turks and the Turkic Headquarters also had deep contradictions, and the fall of Jieli and the Tuli had also stuck a knife in the back, so the Turkic Headquarters reacted coldly to the Eastern Turkic brothers. Although it has been more than ten years since Gu Dulu was restored, the Turkic remnants of the six states of Hequ have always responded to them.

Mo Si really wanted to be able to bring the remnants of the six states of Hequ under his tent, so that he could be called a true Turkic khan. Moreover, the remnants of the six states know much more about the interior of the Tang State than the Turkic people who are only in the old rule of the Duhufu, once they are attached, they will be more relaxed in and out of the river meander, and they don't have to use Tuyuhun to guide the way to release them like this time.

But at the moment, the number of reinforcements from the Tang Army is still unknown, and if a large number of remnants of Hequ are attracted to the south, it will undoubtedly be a waste of time. At that time, it is necessary to silently lure the men and horses of the headquarters to resist the Tang reinforcements, and give the remnants of Hequ time to come south to transport supplies.

This will undoubtedly put the people of the Mobi headquarters in greater danger, and it is doubtful that the remnants of the river meander will be of the same mind as him. Mo Si is suspicious by nature, so he naturally doesn't want to take such a big risk, so he can only give up such a plan.

This night, the Turkic tribes were still stepping up the transportation of supplies, and at the same time they were nervously preparing for war. Fortunately, although there was a small amount of harassment that night, most of the Hu people who had fled before were unwilling to wander back again, and after being expelled, they fled again.

Early the next morning, the supplies had been loaded and parked. After thinking about it, Mo Si still didn't burn the rest of the materials, and decided to let the surrounding Hu Bu enter and pick them up, not because he was a sacrifice to pity those people, but just to give them a little sweetness and let them continue to look forward to such an opportunity.

In the early morning, the first Turkic men and horses to escort supplies were on the road, and hundreds of carts lined up in a huge procession for miles in the river valley, slowly moving north.

Mo Si led the wolf before and after, and he led two thousand elite cronies to coordinate in the center. There are also a lot of cars on the back road, but the supplies they carry are not as important as the front road. This is a bait that is intended to be discarded after encountering the enemy in order to thwart the enemy's pursuit.

Because of the large amount of supplies they carried, the speed of the march was not fast. Moreover, during the march, Mo Si also sent wolf horses to continue to loot and sweep around the road several times, not only to find out the enemy's traces, but also to cover up his whereabouts.

It was not prudent to sip silently, but he didn't know that just when he was careful to guard against the pursuit of the Tang people on the back road, Qi Bi led 6,000 elite horsemen tomorrow morning, and had already bypassed the Qingshui River Valley, and in front of him he must pass through the pass to wait in place and wait for work!
