Chapter 107 Punish the Turks and raise the prestige of the country

"Withdraw! Remove! Remove!! ”

Ashina shouted aggressively, the Turkic army was defeated, he never expected the Tang people to be so treacherous, and they would use the strategy of "hook and lock chain".

The Tang soldiers in the back row were connected in a straight line with iron lock hooks, and two people on both sides respectively pulled the iron chains, pressed against the ground and pushed forward at a sweeping speed.

Since the Turks rode mostly war horses, the horse's legs were knocked down by iron chains, and the cavalry fell off the horse's back, falling forward and backward.

The Turkic soldiers who fell off their horses were like lambs to be slaughtered, and their throats were cut by the Tang army.

Seeing the Turkic retreat, Cheng Zhi Mo took the axe and chopped it, saying, "Turkic dog thief, where to run?" ”

Ashina fled aggressively, and Cheng Chumo chased after him until he chased out of a mountain ravine twenty miles away, and Ashina aggressively escaped into the criss-crossing ravines and disappeared.

"The terrain here is complicated, and I am afraid that the enemy will deceive, so Ming Jin will withdraw his troops." Cheng Chumo said.

As a pioneer officer of the three armed forces, he seems to be reckless, but he can still plan and act before he acts.

Back in the barracks, Cheng Chumo came to the big tent and replied: "The last general chased out twenty miles, and was run away aggressively by Ashina in a mountain and ravines in the northwest, please punish the commander." ”

In the barracks, there are no friends, only the commander and his subordinates, and Cheng Chumo's title is not wrong.

"Ashina's aggressive escape was expected, and I didn't put him to death in the first place." Li Yun said.

It's very simple to kill Ashina, but there are other uses for keeping him.

"The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, Ashina is the henchman of Jieli Khan, why should he be spared?" Cheng asked in confusion.

His question also expressed the doubts of others, there is only one end for the tiger to return to the mountain, that is, to be retaliated by the tiger's madness.

"There are two purposes, one is to force them away and leave enough time for our army to buy time to repair the ancient road, and to force the Turks to be in a hurry, they will come and burn a jade stone." Li Yun explained, "Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone people." ”

Yes, if people are forced to do something urgently, don't look at the Turkic steppe wolves, they are fierce and incomparable, in fact, they are also afraid of death, and they will be afraid when they really die.

After repairing the ancient road, they will be able to have a steady supply of grain and grass, solve their worries, and be able to concentrate on dealing with the Turks.

"And what about the second reason?" Cheng Chumo asked.

"The second is to keep Ashina's aggressive dog life and let him find the hidden stronghold of the Turkic army on the steppe for us."

The Turks are different from the Tang Dynasty, the Tang people live according to the city, and most of the people live in the city, and they can find people when they find the city.

But the Turks are different, they are nomadic people, living in the steppe, where there is a fixed place, basically where to live, except for the Turkic Khan's royal court is a fixed place, other tribes are basically mobile.

This is why the Turks are inexhaustible, just mushrooms after a rain, and once they are relieved, they will come back.

Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

"So that's what I let him go, Ashina is defeated, he is determined to be unwilling, he will definitely find other tribes to converge, so that when the time comes, they will be wiped out, why not!" Li Yun said.

After listening to Li Yun's explanation, Cheng Chu fell to the ground in admiration.

"High! It's really high!! ”

Cheng Chumo gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but exclaim.

He seemed to finally understand why the imperial court had appointed him as a great commander, and a resourceful person like him was simply beyond his own ranks.

But a new problem has arisen? Ashina ran away aggressively, and no one followed him, how could he find them?

"He's in the middle of a ravine, the terrain is complicated, no one is tracking, how do you determine his location?" Cheng Chumo asked.

"That's a good question." Li Yun said with a smile.

Tracking the fugitive murderer, the most common thing in the current criminal investigation team is the police dog, the dog's nose is not to say twenty miles, even if it is two hundred miles, it can find you.

In Yongzhou, because it is located on the edge of the Tang Dynasty and the Xiongnu, the people will train puppies at home, and sometimes go to the grassland, it is difficult to identify the direction, relying on the puppy, whose characteristics are similar to those of police dogs.

"Dog tracking?"

Cheng Chumo was a little stunned, he said that he didn't understand at all, and he still needed the help of a dog to march and fight.

However, thinking about it, I don't think it's anything, Li Yun can even create a flying artifact, and it is not uncommon to use a dog to track it.

"In short, the most important thing at the moment is not to pursue the enemy, but to repair the ancient road so that the grain and grass can successfully reach Yongzhou." Li Yun said.

The most important thing in marching and fighting is grain and grass, and since ancient times, there has been a reason that soldiers and horses go first before grain and grass are moved.

However, Li Yun and them are just the opposite, this is a taboo for soldiers, and it may not be necessary to ensure that the supply of grain and grass ensures that the officers and men of the whole army have enough to eat.

"Understood! I will immediately send another team of soldiers and horses to hurry up and repair the road. Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said.

……

The Tang army repaired the ancient road non-stop, it only took less than half a month, and it was finally completed.

When the grain and grass arrived, Li Yun immediately ordered: "Cook sheep and slaughter cattle, and reward the three armies." ”

When people are hungry, they want not gold, silver, and jewelry, but an all-you-can-eat meal.

That night, in addition to not being allowed to drink, the three armies ate to the fullest, and the happiest thing was this.

A few days after another simple correction, after the army was reorganized, Li Yun was ready to attack.

This time, the Western Political Turks are not just to rescue Cheng Zhijie, but to completely solve the hidden dangers in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty.

The Turks are the heart disease of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shimin has more than enough heart but not enough strength, if Li Yun can solve the trouble of the northwest border, it will definitely be a peerless achievement.

At that time, even the crown prince Li Chengqian had to panic, a meritorious prince, and a prince who did nothing, compared with the two, it is really impossible to say who the future prince is.

Of course, these are later words, not to mention for the time being, it is not yet known that Li Yun can completely destroy the Xiongnu.

After rectifying the three armies, the Tang army was basically full of food and drink, Li Yun took the initiative to attack, left Yongzhou City, and attacked the interior of the grassland, vowing to completely wipe out the Turks on the grassland.

Li Yun didn't dare to get sick from himself, but at least he wanted to destroy the Turks and let them really perish, so that the Tang Dynasty would not pose a threat.

"The whole army is drawn into the steppe, and the Turks are punished!!"

So, a mighty group of people left Yongzhou and went into the grassland.
