Chapter 156: Vanguard Iron Rider
After greeting Zhang Yunwen with a smile in the corner of his eyes, he asked, "I wonder how many troops General Zhang brought to aid Ben Khan this time?" ”
Zhang Yunwen made a gesture of "six".
"Sixty thousand troops? Wow, that's great! ”
Zhang Yunwen didn't speak, still gesturing with this gesture.
"Well, I see, six thousand! An army of six thousand is not bad! ** The combat power of Ben Khan is very convinced! ”
Zhang Yunwen still didn't speak, and stubbornly gestured with this gesture.
"Well, General Zhang, isn't there a little less than six hundred! Forget it, it's better than nothing! ”
Zhang Yunwen glanced at Tuli lightly, and still gestured with the gesture of "six": "Nearly sixty people!" I brought nearly sixty people with me! ”
Tuli was suddenly shocked: "Six...... Sixty people, still close! ”
Zhang Yunwen nodded, with a solemn expression: "Don't look at the fact that I only brought these sixty people over, but their actual combat strength can be as high as six thousand!" Zhang Yunwen dared to say this big thing, all because of the grenade and the mortar. It is believed that the Turkic knights, who have not experienced hot weapons, will definitely be defeated when they face these two things when they charge intensively.
In addition, he said this in order to deter Tuli, lest Tuli see that he has few people and have any evil intentions.
Hearing Zhang Yunwen say this, Tu Li flashed a reluctant smile, and then changed the topic and talked about the grassland style with Zhang Yunwen.
And Zhao Yi and Fan Xing were also politely laughing with the Turkic high-level below. Suddenly, there was a harmonious atmosphere in the big tent.
This atmosphere lasted until the end of this conversation. Half an hour later, Zhang Yunwen, Zhao Yi and Fan Xing walked out of Tuli's big tent. And Tuli stood at the door of the big tent with a group of Turks, watching Zhang Yunwen and others leave.
When Zhang Yunwen disappeared from sight, Na Tuli suddenly sank his face, returned to the yurt without saying a word, sat on the low couch covered with animal skins, picked up a bowl of milk wine, and drank it angrily!
"Khan, why are you doing this? Didn't Datang send someone? And it was Zhang Yunwen who was sent! When an old Turkic man with a gray beard saw Tuli's appearance, he couldn't help stroking his beard and persuaded Tuli.
Tuli put down the bowl fiercely: "But how many people are there?" Less than sixty! Even if he Zhang Yunwen and his subordinates can defeat ten with one, but the number is too small after all, how can they resist Jieli's army! ”
The old man chuckled: "Don't pin your hopes on those Tang people, they sent people to come, just to make a gesture, to show the Great Khan, to show the Jieli Khan." On the one hand, it shows that they have sent people to help, and on the other hand, they indicate to Jieli Khan that he will help the Great Khan. Therefore, if Jieli Khan comes to attack, it is still our Turkic men who can fight! ”
Hearing the old man's words, Tuli was speechless, and only after a while did he say fiercely: "It's just that Ben Khan feels hateful when he thinks about it!" ”
The old man sighed lightly and said to Tuli: "According to the Malay report, Jieli's three thousand forward cavalry are less than 100 miles from my tent, and they are now encamped, and it is estimated that they will arrive at noon tomorrow!" If the Great Khan is dissatisfied with that Zhang Yunwen, he can ask him to take action and solve the three thousand iron horses. First, you can take a look at the strength of this Zhang Yunwen and his subordinates. Didn't he say that sixty men could be used for six thousand? Then it should be no problem to deal with 3,000 strikers! Second, if it fails, it can also block the forward for half a day, so that our army can prepare calmly! ”
When Tuli heard this suggestion, his face was overjoyed: "Hehe, it's still the right minister, this kind of trick is suitable for that Zhang Yunwen!" Saying that, he pretended to sigh lightly, "When I was in Wulonghan, Ben Khan knew that this Zhang Yunwen was very powerful, so he wanted to include him in his command. But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes! ”
On the other side, Zhang Yunwen said to the soldiers gathered together: "Brothers, now that we have reached the Turkic tent, I believe that by tomorrow at the latest, Naturi will invite me to the battlefield and fight against Najieli, so as to see our strength." I wonder if you are ready, brothers? ”
"It's been ready for a long time! This time it's going to surprise those Turkic barbarians! ”
"That's it, I can't help but want to kill for a long time!"
……
Listening to these bloodthirsty words, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help rolling his eyes, turned his head to Zhao Yi and said, "Are there any caravans, veterinarians and the like from the south in this tooth tent camp?" ”
Zhao Yi pondered for a moment and said: "The caravan left a few days ago, veterinarian, we have one here, it seems that he is also from the Central Plains, and now he has taken root here, and even several apprentices have been taught!" Well, my lord, why are you asking this, could it be that they ......"
Before Zhao Yi finished speaking, he saw Zhang Yunwen nodding: "Yes, they are the spies of the Investigation Institute." Well, it's inconvenient for me to ask in person, Brother Zhao will do it for me and ask if there is any new information? ”
Zhao Yi nodded, then got up and went out silently.
Zhang Yunwen said softly: "Okay, brothers, go down to rest first, I have my own arrangements for tomorrow!" ”
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Yi found Zhang Yunwen and said to him: "Boss, I already found that veterinarian last night, and I really have fucking intelligence!" It is said that a guy named Zhao Deyan on Jieli's side instigated Jieli to send 10,000 troops after Jieli sent 20,000 troops, and he was killing here! Its forward 3,000 cavalry arrived at the tent by noon at the latest! ”
Zhang Yunwen nodded. At this time, an old man wearing Turkic clothes came over, and Zhao Yi took the lead and saluted: "I've seen Lord Youxiang!" This is clearly reminding Zhang Yunwen of the identity of the old man in front of him.
Zhang Yunwen also saluted. The old man smiled and said, "General Zhang is a general of the kingdom, how can he salute the old man!" By the way, the Great Khan has something to find General Zhang, and he asked General Zhang to go with the old man! ”
These words were written in a concise manner, not at all like the words of those Turks, and later Zhang Yunwen learned that this right minister had traveled to study in the Central Plains during the opening of the emperor, and was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and the sons of a hundred schools. At the moment, I can't help but be a little wary of this right phase.
The old man took Zhang Yunwen to last night's big tent, and when Natu Li saw Zhang Yunwen, he smiled and said, "May the grassland bless you, my general!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yunwen smiled coldly in his heart: "Nothing to do, who knows what kind of stomach is hidden in this Tuli!" Although he thought so, his face was full of smiles: "May the grassland bless you as well, my Great Khan!" ”
After the greetings, the two sat down.
Na Tuli said: "General Zhang of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Khan has something to ask you today!" ”
"It's coming!" Zhang Yunwen thought to himself. "Serve the Great Khan, and you will never give up! What is the matter with the Great Khan? Zhang Yunwen asked.
Tuli sighed lightly, with a sad look on his face: "I guess you already know, General Zhang of the Tang Dynasty!" The army sent by the old thief is coming this way, and it is about to attack Ben Khan! His forward 3,000 men and horses would arrive at noon, but Ben Khan's knights had not yet been assembled, and they could not fight with him! Therefore, Xiao Khan asked General Zhang to take action, take your own army and horses and 500 Turkic warriors to hold those forwards for half a day, and when Ben Khan's soldiers and horses are assembled, he will fight with the soldiers and horses of the old thief! ”
When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he was silent for a while, and said after a while: "But Great Khan, my soldiers add up to less than sixty people, even if you add five hundred Turkic warriors, I'm afraid it will be difficult to drag those three thousand iron horsemen!" If they didn't think about war and rushed directly to kill, wouldn't it be a great thing to ruin the Great Khan? ”
When Tuli heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed lightly: "Alas, is the sky going to destroy my Tuli, like me Tuli, not only the second Khan of the Turks, but also the siblings of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can he die here?" These words intentionally or unintentionally mentioned his identity, which made Zhang Yunwen's expression change suddenly.
Tu Li said again: "Forget it, General Zhang's men and horses are indeed not the opponent of the three thousand iron horses, so let Ben Khan take the men and horses to meet this rampant Eagle Dog in person!" ”
This is both persuasive and exciting, Zhang Yunwen sneered in his heart, but his mouth was a little frightened, and he said a little unwillingly: "Don't look down on me, I said last night that these sixty people are worth six thousand people!" The Great Khan doesn't have to send those 500 warriors, see me take 60 people to buy half a day for the Great Khan! ”
"That being the case, Little Khan thanks General Zhang!" Tuli said gratefully.
"Without further ado, the last general will be one step ahead!" After speaking, he went out with his head held high.
Behind him, Tuli sneered twice. And the right-hand minister, who didn't say a word, stared at the shaking door curtain thoughtfully.
After returning to the residence and finishing the matter, Zhang Yunwen said coldly: "Since Na Tuli wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, then let's go and break the knife and see if Na Tuli will react!" ”
The soldiers suddenly shouted "whooping".
With all the equipment, one man and two horsemen, he galloped straight to the northwest, and should meet the sharp forward that roared.
Zhao Yi and the other four did not follow Zhang Yunwen together, and Zhang Yunwen had to ensure Tuli's safety before he completely tore his face with Tuli. But thinking about it, he Zhang Yunwen will not tear his face with Tuli.
At this time, more than seventy miles northwest of the Tuli Tent, three thousand iron horsemen were roaring and galloping. These 3,000 iron cavalry are one of the better equipped troops of Jieli, although they are a little worse than his personal guard wolf cavalry, but at least they are also equipped with leather armor, scimitars and bows.
And the general of this vanguard army was called Ashnatid, and he was also a Turkic nobleman. This man is the third warrior under Jieli's account, and although a mace can't be defeated by one against a hundred, it is still no problem to defeat ten with one. In addition, he was born with a tiger's back and a strong body, and only wore an open-chested short coat on his upper body, revealing strong chest muscles and a cloud of swarthy chest hair. In addition, he was tanned all over his body, so when Zhang Yunwen saw this Ashnatidi for the first time, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said to the soldiers around him: "Look at that Turkic pioneer general, does it look like a bear?" ”
After this question, all the soldiers immediately burst into laughter. The tension of facing three thousand people also disappeared.
At this time, it was almost noon, and Zhang Yunwen and his soldiers found this group of 3,000 iron horsemen galloping at a distance of thirty miles from the Tuli Tooth Tent. Of course, this is thanks to the nimble scouts under his command.
On an abrupt mountain ridge next to the road of the 3,000 iron cavalry, Zhang Yunwen set up the mortar, and the rest of the soldiers prepared their longbows and steel crossbows, aiming at the galloping iron cavalry.
