On the reckless wasteland, the cold wind is biting, the thick snow is frozen, and the people and horses walk on it hard, but it is very slippery and people have to fall if they can't walk a few steps.

Li Simo walked with 30,000 Turkic youths and difficulties towards Xue Yantuo's station.

At this time, Li Simo was in a very heavy mood.

Tian Khan Li Shimin for Li Chengqian's personal expedition, the defeat of Bazhuo is already predictable, if the Tian Khan knows that it was the Turks who leaked the news to Xue Yantuo, causing Bazhuo to besiege Li Chengqian.

I really don't know if Tian Khan can still tolerate the remnants of the Turks?

Don't talk about Tian Khan, just use Li Chengqian's murderous ......

Li Simo regrets it every time he thinks about it.

Now they can only pray to find Xue Yantuo as soon as possible to break through in one fell swoop, even if the Tang Dynasty can't tolerate them, they can also replace Xue Yantuo to establish a tooth tent in Mobei.

But now it is the middle of winter, although there is no snow, but the biting cold wind has not stopped for a moment, and the army can only walk twenty miles a day, and if the sergeant goes farther, he will be frostbitten.

Li Simo rode on his horse and looked up to see a mountain ridge in front of him, which was overgrown with large straight green pine trees.

Li Simo looked up and saw that the snow under the pine forest was a little thin, and he was ready to set up camp here tonight.

"Lu Zhi, go around and take a look, if there is no abnormality in the Songgang in front, we will camp here today." Li Simo said tiredly.

Lu Zhi looked at the hillside in front of him, and said with some embarrassment: "Great Khan, I have only walked more than ten miles today......

Li Simo waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let's go, this place is not far from the Yi Nan station, we must save our strength to avoid accidents." ”

Lu Zhi nodded, and led the people to the distance with difficulty.

Kang Quda drove his horse two steps forward, leaned on Li Simo's side and continued to walk forward.

Li Simo glanced back at the first warrior surnamed Zhaowu, and he found that the young man was also looking at him.

Li Simo turned his head and said lightly: "The Zhaowu surname of the Turkic Department used to only rely on the powerful Turkic royal family to do business, and the Turkic royal family got profits.

Now that the Turkic royal family has declined, you will not gain anything from following me. ”

Kang Quda smiled faintly when he heard this: "Zhaowu Jiu's surname is a businessman in the world, but he is just a group of people who are wandering and rootless, and they are looked down upon everywhere.

Although the Turkic royal family has declined, it still has the capital to dominate the grassland, as long as we can destroy Xue Yantuo's sweat tent this time, Mobei is ours.

If I, Zhaowu Jiu, abandon the Great Khan now, where will there be a place for the world to live even though it is big?"

Li Simo nodded with emotion and said, "Yes!" You have been in the Turkic tribe for hundreds of years, and you have changed from mercenary merchants to loyal warriors, and if you succeed in this battle and stay in Mobei, you will be like other Turkic people. ”

Kang Quda was overjoyed when he heard this, and hugged his fist on the horse and said: "Thank you Da Khan for this!" ”

Their Zhaowu nine surnames have been slaves of the Turkic royal family for a hundred years, and servility has long been engraved in their bones.

Li Simo and Kang Quda gradually approached the hill as they spoke, but they never saw Lu Zhi and his subordinates, and both of them had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

Kang Quda panicked in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to the mountain: "Qu Silu! Qu Si Lil! ……”

Kang Quda shouted several times but did not respond.

Li Simo immediately woke up, his eyes froze, and he suddenly pulled out his scimitar and said loudly: "There is an enemy attack, prepare to fight!" ”

Seeing this, Konkuda and the Turkic warriors behind them took up their arms and looked around warily.

In the middle of the night, a loud laugh sounded in the pine forest and got closer and closer.

"Hahaha......" was accompanied by a jumble of footsteps.

Li Simo saw a group of people coming out of the pine forest.

This group of people all wore thick leather hats on their heads, thick leather clothes on their bodies, bows and arrows, and scimitars hanging from their waists.

As soon as Li Simo saw such a group of people flashing on the hill, he immediately realized that it was not good, and when he looked back, his team was too long because the march was too long, and there were many people who did not follow two miles away.

"Hahaha, Li Simo, you traitorous wild dog, see who I am?"

Li Simo turned his head angrily when he heard this, and saw a big man on the hill taking off his hat to reveal a face full of beard, but his eyes were very young.

When Li Simo saw those eyes, he remembered who the person was, gritted his teeth and said, "Tulishe!" ”

The general in front of Xue Yantuo was Tu Lishe, who went to Chang'an to ask for Yi's relatives, Li Simo knew that Tu Lishe was Yi Nan's nephew and Yi Nan's right-hand man, and he definitely didn't come out to patrol here.

Li Simo narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Hmph......, Tuli Ben Khan was about to go to take the head of the Yi man and present it to Tian Khan, but I didn't expect you to come first, and Ben Khan took your head." ”

Saying that, Li Simo lifted the spear hanging on the horse and seemed to be ready to shoot at any time, only Kang Quda beside him knew that he was only doing this to delay time, and wanted to wait for the soldiers behind him to follow.

Turishe, who was on the other side, had already seen his purpose, and laughed when he saw this: "The old thing is still pretending to be a possive!" As he spoke, his face turned cold, and he shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Whoosh ......"

A rain of arrows fell from the sky and shrouded Li Simo and others in the rain of arrows, Li Simo saw the rain of arrows in the sky and lifted the reins violently, and the war horse "neighed" with a long roar, raised its hooves and rushed towards the hill.

Li Simo was lying on horseback with a spear, his eyes fixed on the hill of Tulishi, and Kang Quda and his guards behind him hurriedly rode their horses to follow.

Seeing Li Simo rushing up desperately, Tulisheh sneered and took a few steps back, and Xue Yantuo's foot soldiers immediately made up to form a tight military formation.

As soon as Li Simo rushed up, he was immediately surrounded by the military formation, and in the face of the long spear, Li Simo launched a ferocious attack and swung the spear hard.

The spear in his hand danced so much that it couldn't be splashed in, and occasionally there was a gap like a poisonous snake, piercing the throat of Xue Yantuo's foot soldiers, and a canopy of blood burst out from each shot.

Kang Quda, known as the first warrior with the surname of Zhaowu, is naturally a little brave, and the big gun in his hand is not weaker than Li Simo at all.

Li Simo's personal guards were also Turkic elites, and although Xue Yantuo's foot soldiers and archers kept attacking them, they couldn't take them for a while.

For a while, the two sides rushed to me, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Tu Lishe stood on a high place and watched Li Simo and the others rushing left and right in the military formation, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, although Li Simo and the others are fierce now, since they have entered the military formation, then don't think about going out.

The Turkic warriors behind saw that Li Simo was trapped in Xue Yantuo's army and killed the enemy bravely, and they all hurriedly rushed up to break up Xue Yantuo's army array.

The establishment of the Turk Li immediately commanded the archers to fire ten thousand arrows at once, shot the Turkic warriors behind them back, and then watched Li Simo and others fight the trapped beasts in the Xue Yantuo army array.

-----------------

Li Chengqian asked the veteran Qiu Xinggong to take Cheng Wuting to be the vanguard of the front battle this time, and Su Dingfang still led the Chinese army.

In order not to disturb the settlement of Zhaowu Jiu in the Turkic Department in the north of Lingzhou, Li Chengqian's army went directly east as soon as it left the valley, but fortunately it was the Hetao Plain alluvial from the Yellow River, the terrain was flat, and the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion was inside
