After the departure of the Gollulus, Heda was not worried. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because Tutun said to him when he was leaving, 1,200 of us are cut one-on-one, and in the end there can be 900 left.

One day, two days, three days...... There was no news from the Gelulu Department at all, and Heida didn't dare to report to Ashina Desire Valley, so he first sent a light horse to search in the direction of Xuanchi. Soon, the battle situation they reported made Heda stunned for a long time and forgot to speak.

The opponent was nowhere to be found, and in addition to the tired corpses buried by the wind and sand and the horse bones everywhere, Tianshan Mu did not even leave a single footprint. The shock that this incident brought to Heida was very similar to that of his last battle in the Jieli Division—a confusion and a crushing defeat in the hope of victory.

Ashina Desire Valley sent people to ask Heida for questions, and after learning the news that the Gollulu tribe had been wiped out again, Ashina Desire Valley no longer jumped like thunder, and asked Heida what to do in turn.

"Judging from these two encounters, both of our tribes, which were defeated badly, were guilty of underestimating the enemy. They thought that they were on their own territory and there were many people, so they must have not taken the three hundred herdsmen of Datang seriously. Great Khan, you can rest assured, this time I will take people to Xuanchi by myself, find them, and defeat them. ”

Heida analyzed the combat characteristics of Tianshan Mu: their whereabouts are secretive, their movements are fast, they are ruthless and ruthless, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. This can not only be seen from the annihilation of the Ebiru Land Department and the Gelulu, but also the 300 people of the Tianshan Mu can be concluded that they definitely did not collide aimlessly, and must be related to the harassment of the Poplar Mu by the Ebi Lu Ministry.

However, Heida bluntly said: Although the two sides have fought twice, the Ebiru Army does not know the specific combat methods of these people. The man who fled back from the secret department last time did not rush to the front line of the battle, otherwise he would have been lying there. Besides, he was already so frightened that he couldn't ask anything useful.

He is ready to try his best to make contact with Tianshan Mu, and he will never rush forward if he has the advantage of troops, as long as he finds out their details, three hundred people are nothing! Heida knew that the thousands of brave fighters of the Gelulu tribe had never suffered defeat, and this time they must have been annihilated by others, and he already had a preliminary way to deal with Tianshan Mu.

Following the instructions of the Ashina Desire Valley Khan, Heida divided the nearly 8,000 men and horses under his direct command into two divisions, and one group of 4,000 men and horses assembled at Alashankou to make a large-scale attack and put pressure on Xizhou and Poplar Mu. A group of 4,000 men and horses led by him personally went north to encircle and suppress these 300 men.

At the same time, Ashina Desire's second letter to Xizhou was also sent, not so much a threat, but a momentum for their battlefield in the north - the entire large area of land in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains was already Datang, and we were just defending ourselves on our own territory outside the Green Mountains, if Xizhou did not send someone to call back the three hundred people of the Tianshan Mu, then they would not have to go back.

If Xizhou has some moves, such as really sending people to recruit the people of Tianshan Mu to go back, then the Yibi Lu Department will take advantage of this to say well. Moreover, the three hundred people of Tianshan Shepherd have come and gone without a trace, they will not even hide from their own families, right? At that time, the initiative was returned to the hands of the Ebilu Division.

But Xizhou didn't even let out a fart this time, and Ashina Desire Valley often let out an inexplicable sneer from his contemplation, hum, hum, that is...... You don't care about these 300 people anymore!

This time, Heida led 4,000 people from the Dulu Division, the Crossbow Lost Division, and the Zhuyue Division, and he took 500 people as a small team, and pushed it in the direction of Xuanchi in a row, and the distance between each team's teams was fifty miles, and they marched together like a comb on a section of four or five hundred miles.

He thought, if any team encountered the three hundred people of Tianshan Mu, then with the size of five hundred people, how could they hold on until the adjacent team rushed over from fifty miles away. No matter which team they are, if they encounter them, they will be entangled, even if they are slippery fish, can they still get out of the net he has carefully set?

Hei Daqin led a team of five hundred people in the center, this is the men and horses of the Dulu Division, the combat effectiveness is the strongest except for the Gelulu Division, they raise the flag during the day and the fire at night, they are always in contact with each other, and the speed of advancing towards the Xuanchi Lake is not slow.

Heida guessed that the three hundred men of the Tianshan Pasture were directly in front of them, perhaps hiding behind the rolling hills on the horizon. He also guessed what kind of character the opponent was leading the way and could walk a few rounds under his iron rod.

He is still somewhat confident in his own ability, if nothing else, this victory will definitely be his own, and it will once again increase his weight in the eyes of Ashina Desire Valley Khan.

Two days later, they advanced to the south bank of Xuanchi, and there was no one behind the hills. Heida's gaze crossed the steaming surface of the lake and looked directly at the undulating mountains opposite the Xuanchi. Three hundred people, if you are willing to hide in the mountains and forests until it snows, then I have no opinion, but I can't think of it.

He asked the squads to camp at the same distance to strengthen their ties with each other, and the squads sent scouts to each other every half hour to deliver news.

He would not let a large group of men and horses go into the mountains, and he would not take a large net to catch a small fish in a place full of aquatic weeds. He was to build a dam and stir it with a stick in the water, so that it would crash into the net.

Tianshan Mu's action is fast enough, which shows that they don't have any decent baggage, and if anyone is injured, they don't even have a place to recuperate. They can't afford to hurt or consume, that's their advantage. Therefore, Heda did not have to rush to find the enemy, he had time to play with these people.

Their drinking water will also be a big problem, and they can't get close to Xuanchi Lake for a single step! In the mountain streams and streams that flow into the Xuanchi, Heida has also placed secret agents, as long as they go to these places to get water, Heida can lock their specific location.

From time to time, he also sent a search team composed of dozens of astute and nimble people, from shallow to deep, step by step into the mountains, and Heida told them not to rush in, and to think of a way out of each place first, and once they found the traces of these people, they did not have to fight, but to report back immediately, and then he narrowed the encirclement.

However, except for a few horses scattered in remote valleys and dense jungles, Tianshan Mu did not see a single person.

Adding up the number of horses reported by the search teams, Heida was a little puzzled. For these horses numbered about fourteen or five hundred, and the horses of the two tribes of the Mi and the Gerluch, excluding the dead and wounded, would not have been much greater than that.

What about the people of the Tianshan Shepherd? No one would throw away such a large trophy, and they were so frightened that they didn't even want these horses and slipped away before their own brigade arrived?

Heda didn't believe it. If these horses do not have to be carried on their shoulders or carried by men, that is, a matter of a few whips, then they must still be in this mountain.

While he strengthened his vigilance, he gave instructions to the men and horses at the Alashan Pass: make some gestures and put some pressure on that side. Although he didn't dare to launch an attack on Xizhou without authorization, it was always okay to make some gestures, to make the other party nervous and not dare to move, so that Xuanchi's side could besiege these three hundred people with peace of mind.

It's the end of August, and according to normal days, there will be snow in another half a month. At that time, he and his men will ride their horses and whip up their horses and wantonly strangle the starving Tang herdsmen who have escaped from the mountains. (To be continued.) )
