Chapter 537: Come and Don't Be Rude

The Yinshan Mountains straddle the northern end of the fertile Hetao steppe, and the land with abundant water and grass in the north and south foothills is occupied by the Eastern Turks.

Blessed with a lot of production in the north and south of Yinshan, it has become the foundation for the Eastern Turks to become strong again. Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turks have been continuously attacked by the Tang Dynasty and have declined for a time. Ten years earlier, Vigha Khan had appointed virtuous ministers to devote himself to internal development, and then re-emerged, defeating the Tang Dynasty's conquest army the following year.

Viga Khan was shrewd enough to know that the most formidable enemies of the Turks were not the agrarian peoples, but the nomadic Tielehu from the north. Under the great victory, he was not arrogant in victory, but showed weakness to the Tang Dynasty, and won a good opportunity for development from then on, firmly controlling the land of the Hetao.

Viga Khan's shrewdness also lies in cultivating minions, the Khitans are a vicious dog under his door, repeatedly betraying and invading the Tang Dynasty, distracting the Tang Dynasty's energy, whenever the Khitans are in an unfavorable situation, they will hide in the territory of the Turks, and when the Tang army retreats, they return to the territory to gather people to make trouble.

The Eastern Turks tried their best to avoid a head-on conflict with the Tang Dynasty. In order to avoid making too many enemies, the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to open one eye and close one eye, and tolerate the shameless behavior of the Eastern Turks.

During this time, Viga was very impressed, and the development of the situation can be described as a sudden change in the wind and clouds. The Tang Dynasty actually invited the newly rising Ningyuan Iron Cavalry in the Western Regions and those hated Tiele people, wanting to attack the north and south to eliminate the threat of the Khitans once and for all. The Khitans faced a test of life and death, and for this reason, Viga Khan also borrowed 10,000 "volunteers" to deal with the crisis.

However, things were far from being as simple as they seemed, and a Hui man named Huyi came into his sight and gave him a guarantee: the Hui tribes never wanted to be enemies of the Khitans and the Eastern Turks, but only hoped to cooperate with them to jointly cut off the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry that followed the Tang Dynasty.

If he sits idly by and let the Tang Dynasty exert his fists, then the Khitans, who are in a confrontation with the Youzhou army at this time, will fall into the situation of defending the enemy on their backs, and it will be difficult to escape the doom of extermination.

Therefore, he sent troops to join forces with another strong reinforcement of the Khitans, the Xi tribe, in the territory of the Khitans, and was ready to teach the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry who attacked from the north a lesson.

As for those Tielehu who coveted the pastures on both sides of the Yin Mountain all the time, Viga Khan did not dare to take it lightly, leaving 20,000 elites and a sea holly to deal with.

The Khitan Eagle Slave was very puzzled, it had been a long time, and he had not seen the figure of the "snowflake" released in the morning, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. "Snowflake" is a sea holly that he has raised since he was a child, which is very spiritual and has made countless meritorious contributions.

It was past noon, and the eagle slave's patience was exhausted, and he was about to drive his horse deep into the desert to search, when a black spot suddenly appeared in the sky.

"It's back!" The smile dispelled the anxiety and sorrow on the eagle slave's face.

Several of the Turkic scouts who accompanied him were also relieved, at least, they didn't have to go into the desert to suffer.

"I'll just say what can happen? The height of the Condor is enough to make the archers of the Hui people sigh with admiration. The Turkic scout's tone was nonchalant, as if mocking the Khitans' fuss.

"No, why does it keep hovering over our heads?" The smile on the eagle minion gradually froze on his face. The black spots in the sky were indifferent to his whistles.

In the sky, there was one more black dot, and two black dots soared together.

The Turks laughed at the eagle slave and said, "Your condor has been seduced, and you don't want your mother-in-law anymore!" ”

The eagle slave was relieved, not angry but laughing, sea holly is rare, it is not easy to catch, and the surprise of suddenly flying a sea holly is like the effect of accidentally digging a gold vein with a hoe.

"Alright, my snowflake, bring it down!" The Eagle Slave looked nervously at the sky and muttered to himself.

The Turkic scouts were bored, and they had a rare encounter with a strange thing, so they gambled on it.

Looking up was tiring for the neck, and the Turks simply lay on the ground and watched the excitement.

I don't know how long it took, the eagle slave couldn't help it, lowered his head to relax the muscles of his neck, and he was shocked to find that more than a dozen knights hundreds of paces ahead were leisurely riding their horses.

"Quick, enemy!" The eagle slave turned his head and roared at the Turks.

The Turks jumped up in a panic and climbed onto their horses.

However, it was too late, they started from a standstill, and the opponent had already begun to accelerate......

After all, the eagle slave chose to stay put, and the speed of the enemy horse was so fast that it could destroy his confidence.

What kind of horse is that? It feels like flying!

The Eagle Slave watched the flowing horses flash past him, and his heart was quite shocked, and he even forgot the two condors in the sky.

The situation was completely consistent with the judgment of the Eagle Slave, and none of the Turkic scouts ran away, or fell from their horses with arrows, or were chased by a knife or two.

Eagle slave is glad that the enemy needs a living "tongue" and a guide. Even the eagle slave who couldn't tell which tribe he came from was only loyal to his life, and the Khitan nobles gave him food and clothing, so before that he was a Khitan, and when he was taken prisoner, his beliefs quickly changed, and this group of enemies from the desert with a mysterious identity could also give him this.

"You mean, there are 20,000 Turkic cavalry ahead?" Li Huaitang looked at the trembling captive and confirmed to him again. The captive told him that Viga Khan had led his main force west to join the Khitans, supposedly to deal with a strong enemy, and that only 20,000 elites had been left in the lair just in case.

The Eagle Slave once again swore with his life and revealed that what Viga Khan relied on was the sea holly "snowflake" in his hand, and the Eagle could bring information to the main Turkic force in the distance in half a day, so Viga Khan thought that even if the enemy attacked his rear, the 20,000 elites left behind would only have to entangle the enemy for a few days, and when he led the main force back, the enemy could not escape.

Maybe a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts. Viga Khan would never have thought that the sharp weapon in his hand, Sea Holly, was not the only one, Ningyuan Iron Cavalry also had it, and there were two ends!

The two divine eagles in the sky fell, and the eagle slave finally understood that it was not his "snowflake", but the divine object of Ning Yuan's iron horse. His "snowflake" was wounded, in the hands of the other party.

Two to one. "Snowflake" was invincible with two fists and four legs, and fell to the ground in a fiasco, cheapening the scout Qiancai general Li Feiying in vain.

"General, less than thirty miles ahead, there are a large number of enemies stationed!" Li Feiying reported on the enemy's situation, "There has never been a mistake or omission in the information of the white jade claw.

"Good, ready to fight!"

Li Huaitang gave a decisive order, his expression was relaxed, and the victory was in his hands. With the Condor in hand, the march and combat felt very easy, and the trap arranged by tens of thousands of enemies in the south of the desert could not escape the eyes of the "White Jade Claw", although the Condor could not tell Li Huaitang the identity of the enemy, but it confirmed the previous information of the Lu bandits: the Turkic army and the Xi people were like a great enemy in the Khitan territory.

The cunning Li Huaitang did not intend to go south through the desert at all, but turned west in the center of the desert, went west out of the desert and then turned south, and rushed thousands of miles to attack the old nest of the Turks, Yinshan. He wants to give a big gift to the Turks and Uighurs, and he will not be rude!
