Chapter 179: Encountering an Enemy
(Haha, let Ah Cao find a place to send red envelopes a little bit randomly, some people even said that Ah Cao is hypocritical, so let's send a little, even if it is a brick and tile for the starting point.) )
On the grassland, horses' hooves are bursting, and hundreds of horses are galloping downwind.
In the course of several days of marching, they encountered some steppe tribes again, and this time, without any further hesitation, they swept across the steppe like a storm, leaving behind them broken tents, dripping blood, and strangely shaped corpses.
They have miraculously and quickly completed their mental construction, and have begun to find pleasure in killing.
Moreover, people began to ask about it frequently.
Is this considered a military merit, is this a military merit, is this a military merit?
Li Po found that he still underestimated the strength of the heroes in the north in these years, if these people were placed later, they would definitely be live bandits.
The task was almost complete, but the distress also appeared.
Damn, if you go on like this, where is Dingxiang County?
Dingxiang County should be a place in the north and west of Mayi, Li Po asked a lot of people before, and the approximate location is almost clear.
The so-called Dingxiang County should be the left near Daqing Mountain, which is not a small place, and it can also be seen that when the Great Sui was at its strongest, the territory was undoubtedly very large.
And the military village back then should be in the southeast of Dingxiang County.
But there are no clear boundaries on the grassland, and even caravans that travel to and from the steppe all year round will only walk along the mature trade routes, and will not carve out a road on their own, because there is no GPS. You're going to get lost.
Now Li Po misses the artifact of maps and GPS.
Liu Jing has been a horse bandit for so many years, and he is also a road idiot. I only know that when I see Dajin Mountain (Daqing Mountain), it should be Dingxiang County.
Nima. Where is the mountain? We also know that Daqingshan is quite big, but after walking for so many days, why haven't we seen it? Wouldn't it have already run into the Turkic sphere of influence?
As for Gaga, now called Li Ya, the descendant of this grassland slave, is even more nonsense, it is good to know that there is a big lake near his tribe, and he doesn't have to expect too much.
Now he is like a puppy who is afraid of getting lost. Closely followed behind Li Po.
The guides have long been useless, these steppe tribes are migrating, but their range of activities is not large, and if they go far, they will lose their lives.
God did make a big joke with Li Po.
Just when Li Po took the five hundred Sui soldiers to the west, he had already begun to think about whether to turn to the south.
To the northwest, a large contingent is slowly heading south.
Look down at the sky. The two teams are like two straight lines, gradually approaching, looking at the direction and speed, sooner or later they will converge.
Sui Jun was lucky. They discovered this team first, and the Sui army was also unfortunate because he discovered this team.
Scouts of the five hundred Sui army. It won't go too far, in the vast grassland. If you let it go too far, the scouts won't be able to come back.
After more than 20 days of running-in. Li Po and the Sui army have encountered many problems.
In hearsay, it's all unmentioned.
Yes, during this trip, the scout got lost, but fortunately, the people who can be scouts in the army have the ability to track them with one hand, and after a few days, they caught up in shock.
If this is a well-disciplined army, the result of such an oversight, the scouts will definitely fall to the ground.
But then again, a large army won't let the scouts get lost, so this can only be an oolong incident that can only occur with a small army.
The golden wolf's head flag fluttered fiercely on the grassland, wearing a leather robe shorter than the knee, a leather hat on his head, a wolf's tail hanging down his temples, an iron shield, a scimitar, a bow and arrows on his back, and a warrior riding a war horse.
Everything shows ...... This is the Turks.
Looking at such a group of heavily armed and mighty teams, the mood of the Sui army scouts at that time can be imagined.
A few scouts forgot that they were dressed as Turks, and Li Ghost ran into Li Kui, who was also such a large group of Li Kui, who made the most stupid reaction, turned around and ran.
If the Sui army was also a large army, then their reaction was correct, and the news of the encounter with the enemy was transmitted to the generals of the army as soon as possible, and they were ready to face the battle.
But dogma kills people, and the Sui army has only 500 people.
Don't run if you don't say hello, with a paragraph, leave slowly, no one will care about you, the Turks still think it's their scouts.
But they came and went, panicking like rabbits, and if the Turks looked stupidly, then they were called ghosts.
At that time, the team divided into more than a dozen people to catch up.
Of course, the mistakes made by the scouts of the Sui army are no big deal.
Before they could lead the enemy to their own family, the Sui army had already discovered the Turkic scouts, there were so many people, and there were many scouts, but they didn't go too far, and these five hundred people were too few, and it was much later to find them.
But here is Li Po, he hasn't forgotten that he is playing a Turk.
When the Sui army found out that the cavalry that appeared in the distance was not their own scout, someone immediately shouted, "Turkic ......"
It's too coincidental, coincidentally, the Sui army, who has made a lot of psychological preparations, including Li Po, all feel that God seems to be joking.
"Don't panic, don't panic......"
Li Po roared loudly, not caring how far the voice could travel, whether it was heard by the other party.
While calming his subordinates, he slowly suppressed the horse's speed.
Li Po has clearly realized that since the Turks appeared here, it must not be one or two.
The first thing that came to his mind was that he had taken people too far and rushed into the Turks' homes.
The second idea is, how many Turkic scouts are around, and can they hide from it?
Then I immediately thought about it, how many Turks are there, and can they fight together?
His heart was like lightning, he still had time, waved his arm at the figure coming from afar, and greeted him in a friendly manner.
The cunning shown by Li Po made the refreshing Turks directly fooled.
In fact, the old Turkic soldiers have also slowly grown old, and the young warriors have slowly grown up as the Turks have become stronger, taking the place of the old people.
But the wars they have experienced have become much less.
And these Turkic cavalry faced by the Sui army led by Li Po were the best among them, and as scouts, they actually forgot that they had entered a strange grassland.
They were not suspicious and wary, but rode their horses with great joy, ready to ask which tribe they belonged to.
Such a stupid act was almost impossible to happen when the Great Sui and the Turks were at war for many years.
Lacking the baptism of war, it is not only these stunned young people led by Li Po, obviously, the Turks will also continue to pay the price for this.
When they could clearly see the dress of these kinds, they did not have doubts.
The clothes and appearance of the soldiers of the Sui army have many loopholes, which cannot be made up, but the Turks are just a general term, and they are not much different from the previous or future steppe tribes, they are the steppe empire formed by tribal alliances.
They have many tribes, and even their customs are very different.
Just as it is difficult for the Sui people to tell whether the merchants who enter the Sui land are Turkic or not, the Turks are also unclear whether the guys who enter their borders are Sui people or not.
This is a phenomenon unique to this special period caused by hundreds of years of war in the Central Plains and the continuous rise and collapse of the northern tribes.
When they approached a certain distance, the Turks shouted and asked where Li Po and the others came from.
Li Po had already kicked the horse's belly, took off his bow and arrows, and roared, "Kill them, archers, kill them." ”
More than a dozen Turkic scouts, defenseless, fell off their horses one after another under the arrows that came from ****, and became cold corpses.
This booby trap was very short-lived, and once again showed Li Po's extraordinary adaptability.
But before he could get a little complacent, his scout rushed back, bringing back a series of tails.
And the first end of the Turks, for both sides, is too unwonderful.
The stupidity shown by the scouts is simply miserable.
As a result, the despicable behavior of the Sui army was arrested.
"Thousands of people, all Turkic...... The Golden Wolf Banner is the Turkic Khan......"
Nima, originally felt that he couldn't hide, so he stopped to fight with the Turks and try Li Po, who was a Turkic person, and suddenly the cold hairs on his back stood up.
Li Po, whose luck value had dropped sharply, didn't even think about it, and immediately gave the order, "Turn around, go east, quickly, go east." ”
At this time, he could only hope that he and the others would run fast enough.
The Sui army was panicked but not chaotic, and when they turned around and fled, they were very clean and neat, thanks to their training on weekdays and Li Po's growing prestige, so they did not produce uncontrollable chaos.
Behind them, a low horn sounded, the voice of a Turkic scout indicating an encounter with an enemy.
Farther away, the sound of a trumpet answered them.
More than a dozen Turkic cavalry, like tails, fell behind the Sui army.
What's even more terrifying is that the horns around are constantly sounding, and black shadows are constantly emerging, it is the Turkic scouts scattered around are gathering.
The scattered Sui scouts returned one after another and crossed paths with the Turks.
The arrows began to fly in the air, and after a slight collision, they were evenly divided.
The Turks were more sophisticated in archery and more skilled in horsemanship, but they did not have the absolute upper hand like their juniors.
The strength of the Sui soldiers is also not too much inferior to them, and their bows and arrows are also more sophisticated.
After a small touch, the scouts on both sides paid the price of blood, and the corpses rolled down the grassland, and the wounded rolled and dismounted with screams.
As a result, the Sui army suffered a small loss, and it was impossible for them to take care of the wounded anymore, Li Po just kept urging the soldiers to gallop forward...... (To be continued.) )
