Chapter 299: Long Yan was furious
In the northern part of Alahu Lake, which has now become a racecourse for the Turgish, Yaorivas led the true Qarluq tribe to leave their last homeland and embark on a journey north with an uncertain future, long before the arrival of the Turgish; In order to cover the retreat of the Qarluqs. Also in order to prevent the Turgish people from moving north to infiltrate the Nabarian tribe, Li Wu led 15,000 Gelulu cavalry and less than 1,000 Xia cavalry to stay behind to deal with Pontar.
In an oasis in the desert north of Alahu, here is Li Wu accidentally discovered, now this hidden oasis has become the camp of Li Wu's army, although the oasis is not very large, but its water source to feed a cavalry force of 15,000 people is no problem, as for the grain and grass can only be obtained from the Turgish people.
"Your Highness, the sentinel who went out to scout has returned; According to the Sentinels, the Turgish have now occupied the entire steppe on the shores of Lake Ala, and have sent a small cavalry force to advance to the edge of the desert, and it seems that they will continue to move north. Temur reported to Li Wu.
"How many people are in this small force?" Li Wu asked Timur.
Temur immediately replied, "About three thousand men, it should be the vanguard of the Turgish." ”
"Three thousand, not many soldiers and horses! The vanguard army of the Turgishes must be eaten, or Ponteler will think that we are easy to bully. Li Wu said with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"How many people does Your Highness plan to line up to attack?" Timur asked Li Wu.
Li Wu said very seriously: "Although there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the Turgish, we still can't be careless, our whole army will attack with five times the strength of the force, and we must destroy all of them in the shortest possible time, so as to deter Ponteler and make him not dare to go north easily." ”
"Your Highness is wise, I'll go and arrange it." Timur said excitedly.
After Temur left, Li Wu paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back; Li Wu was thinking about his future way out, it was impossible to block Pontele's 70,000 army with only more than 15,000 people, and maybe the Black Khan Dynasty would increase its troops to support Pontel, and once Li Wu lost here, it would mean that the Black Khan Dynasty's army would enter the territory of the Naiman Department without the slightest hindrance, and the hard work of the Xia army would be taken away by the Black Khan Dynasty.
After some careful consideration, Li Wu shouted outside the tent: "Someone! ”
"What does Your Highness command?" After a Xia army commander came in, he saluted Li Wu and said.
Li Wu sat on the handsome chair of the tiger skin, wrote two letters and handed them to this person, saying: "I have two secret letters here, you take someone to send these two secret letters, one to the hands of Li Yanzong, the commander of my Western Expeditionary Army, and the other letter to the Beijing division to present to my father, and report our situation here to my father; In addition, you passed by Zhai Sangbo and passed my order, so that Gao Zhan led the rest of the remaining 4,000 cavalry to come to support quickly, if he is late, wait to collect the body of His Highness! ”
"Yes, lowly command." The chief immediately took the military order.
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Wu led an army of more than 15,000 to leave the camp, and went southward, and sent a large number of rangers to find the whereabouts of the Turgish Shi people's forward army.
"Your Highness. It should be them. Temur licked the dagger in his hand and said to Li Wu.
"Temur, you and I will each lead a part, attack from the east and west, end the battle in the shortest time, remember not to kill them all, let a few go, and let them report to Pontele." Li Wu said very strangely.
"Yes, the Admiral understands." Timur immediately took the order.
With a force of more than 15,000 people, he went to sneak attack the 3,000 men and horses who were unprepared, and the result can be imagined; In addition to the contradiction between the Qarluqs and the Turgish, Li Wu led the Qarluqs to settle it all in just one hour, and of course Li Wu deliberately let go of a few people so that they could spread the news from here to Pontel; The losses of the Qarluqs were almost negligible, and after this stop, Li Wu became more mature in military command and had more control over this Qarluq cavalry.
"Your Highness, according to your military orders, you have annihilated them all." Temur, covered in blood, said to Li Wu.
Li Wu patted Timur on the shoulder and said, "Good boy did a good job, order the army to respond immediately and take everything that can be taken away......"
When Pontele heard that his 3,000 vanguard army was annihilated by the Qarluqs, he was furious and immediately sent 30,000 troops to the desert to search for the Qarluqs, but in this vast desert it was difficult to find the army, and finally returned in vain, on the way back Li Wu led his troops to attack again, although they did not annihilate them all, but also caused a lot of losses to the 30,000 Tirish army that came to encircle and suppress.
After two failures, Ponteler temporarily gave up his plan to go north, Ponteler could hold back, but Li Wu couldn't help it! An army of 10,000 people in a small oasis can eat for a few days with the little food they have robbed! Li Wu and the others didn't want Pontel to occupy the grasslands on the shore of the blessed Alahu Lake, and when there was no grain and grass, they would go out hunting and have everything.
After seven or eight days, Li Wu finally couldn't help but lead the Qarlu cavalry to attack everywhere, specifically looking for the lone Turks to start, snatching the food in their hands, when the Turks and the horses arrived, they went into the desert, as long as the Turks dared to send troops to pursue, it was a sheep into the tiger's mouth, there was no return, Li Wu's stalking style of play made Ponteler have a headache, although each time the loss of men and horses is not much, but it is also a big loss for a long time! What's more, now Gao Zhan has led the remaining four thousand Xia army cavalry to reinforce.
Li Wu scattered all the 4,000 cavalry and dispersed them into the Qarluq cavalry, since then Li Wu has completely mastered the combined forces of the Xia army and the Qarluq cavalry, which is nearly 20,000 troops, is Li Wu's first armed force, under the leadership of Li Wu, this coalition army has won victories again and again, and Li Wu has a lofty position in the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army.
Xingqing Mansion, among the imperial palaces of the Great Xia Kingdom.
In the imperial study of the palace, Li Liangzuo crackled and smashed the porcelain in the imperial study; Li Liangzuo walked towards the super harem with a puffed letter, and many eunuchs and palace maids followed behind Li Liangzuo with their heads down, carefully following behind Li Liangzuo, for fear that Li Liangzuo would be angry and cut them all down.
Li Liangzuo came to Anshou Palace in a huff, 'Bang! A kick kicked the door of the Anshou Palace open, the loud sound alarmed the surrounding guards, and also frightened the flying snow in the house, when everyone saw that it was Li Liangzuo, they immediately knelt down on the spot, everyone knew that this time Li Liangzuo was really angry.
Li Liangzuo: "Smack! He slapped a letter on the table and said: "Queen, take a good look, this is the good son you gave me, whether this Great Xia Kingdom is my Li Liangzuo's, or his Li Wu's, is there still me in the eyes of this little rabbit cub......"
