Chapter 356: Different Routines
The defeat of the main commander left the men and horses of the Ebi Lu army by the lake leaderless, and the panic and chaos were transmitted from one camp to another in the dim light, and soon spread to all of them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Gao Jun seemed to recall what Brother Xue Li said, there are many people and there are many people, but he lost the control of the coach, not only was he scattered and slaughtered, but he also trampled on each other.
Tocharian Khan, for the sake of shame, summoned almost all the forces that could participate in the battle. Their five or six thousand men and horses contributed to the fire, covering up and killing from all sides, and the dead of Heda's soldiers and horses were not counted, and the wounded fell, and the atmosphere of fear permeated all the camps of the Ebi Lu Division.
On the flat tidal flats twenty miles wide on the south shore of Lake Balkhash, deserters from the Ebidu land department were crowded, and the roads were congested with heavy men and horses. The men and horses fleeing in the vanguard were roundabout by the longbowmen who were ambushed in the dense forest by the Tianshan herdsmen, and long arrows broke through the air from the night and accurately fell into the dense crowd.
A small group of men and horses tried to charge into the woodland from which the long arrows were fired in order to cover Heda's retreat, but when they were a dozen paces outside the forest, they were stopped by a burst of crossbow arrows, and the people fell off their horses. A few horsemen rushed to the edge of the forest, and were immediately cut down by the long knife hand of Tianshan Mu.
They gave up their resistance, and the arrows still shot from the treetops. The man and the horse who were hit by the arrow were immediately abandoned by their companions, and a group of soldiers embraced the wounded Heda, cut off anyone who stood in the way of the front, and rushed out of the chaos and fled in the direction of Broken Leaves.
A certain squad of the Ebiru Army, which had fallen to the back and was blocked by the Tocharians all over the mountains and fields, disarmed at the signal of the leader. They lost their weapons, and were somewhat glad to see their stubborn companions wiped out at once.
Siqing waved her double knives and rushed into the most chaotic crowd, but was stopped by Gao Jun, "Our banner is worth a thousand people, and we still need you to rush?" In terms of fighting, Siqing has long been accustomed to obeying the words of the tall man, so he honestly followed Gao Jun, and the two of them protected the banner of Tianshan Mu, sandwiched between the Tocharian people and horses, and advanced eastward with the tide.
Now there are only two people on the side of the flag, Gao Jun and Siqing, Gao Jun personally raised the big flag, and waved the flag violently while chasing it, cheering up the Tocharians around him.
Siqing smiled and said to Master Gao, I have never seen you fight like this. Tell me, what did you do in such a decisive battle? No, he waved the flag and stabbed the two halberds of Heida!
Master Gao looked around with some weakness, and then said, "I have already said that fighting is not fighting iron," and said, there are 4,000 people in the black, and I will stab others a thousand times, how can it be useful to stab him twice.
The banner of Tianshan Mu became the guide of the Tocharian people, and Gao Jun and Siqing ran happily at first, but then they became slower and slower. After crossing Lake Balkhash, the tall man simply did not leave.
The men and horses of Tocharian ceased their pursuit, and no one ordered them. Moreover, several Tocharian leaders all looked for the banner of Tianshan Mu and asked Lord Gao what he planned to do next.
The tall man touched his chin and said, "Of course I'm thinking about those horses...... At least for the captured horses, you and we have half of the family to be reasonable...... Besides, the last time the Yibi Lu Department harassed our Tianshan Mu, we suffered a lot of losses. ”
The leaders said, this is not a problem, but the battle is not over, should we take advantage of the victory to pursue? Such a good opportunity, if you don't seize it, the opportunity will be fleeting!
Gao Jun said, if I want to chase you, I don't have the heart to work if I don't know the horse. These Tocharian leaders were almost out of luck, and they couldn't guess what the tall man of Tianshan Mu thought.
However, there was an order from above that all actions should be under the command of the tall man, and that the Goluluq, Tocharo's fierce enemy, should be wiped out cleanly and completely, and it was not something that any one person could do casually.
All the men stopped, counted the horses, and divided them. Siqing was worried that the Ebidu Land Department would fight back, and Lord Gao said, I am prepared, but I don't think anyone will think like this anymore.
The number of horses has been counted, and there are three thousand two hundred and twelve horses in all. Master Gao said, "We Tianshan Mu suffer some losses, as long as 1,006, and the captives don't want it, they all go to Tocharo." ”
The leaders of Tochar asked again, "My lord, the horses are also divided, what should we do next, do you want to fight them?" Go to Broken Leaf City to ask for an explanation? "Gao Jun said, let's all go home, you have so many horses, you still have to say the law! Anyway, I don't plan to chase it, it's still the same sentence, I want to chase you.
Suspicious, the men gathered their ranks and drove away with the horses and captives they had gained. The 260 guards of the Tianshan Pastoral Sect have also been assembled, waiting for the instructions of the tall adults.
Everyone thought that the tall man wanted to benefit himself, and did not bring the Tocharians to play, so such a good situation should be covered up from behind in one go and further expand the results. How do you know that Lord Gao said that fighting a war is about the right time and place, and now that it's September, we can't go home? If you don't go back, you'll have to wait for next year, and the Alashankou will soon be covered by heavy snow.
As soon as he said this, everyone remembered that it had been almost a month and a half since everyone came out on August 20, but most people felt that the battle was not enjoyable. Except for the first time when he was more happy, the rest of the time was for people to run.
Master Gao said, you only want to be happy, who would have thought that I would be afraid every day? If it weren't for the Khan of Tochar finding me, I would have planned to go back after Siqing's snake venom had been resolved, and I would have been too content to have one last moment.
He had two hundred and sixty shepherds with 1,600 horses return home at once from the northern shore of Lake Balkhash, and walk day and night, without revealing their whereabouts. And he and Siqing went the same way to pick up Su Tuoer and them.
The Tianshan herding brigade immediately turned back, raised the banner of Tianshan herding and went around the lake, although this route was more than dozens of miles away, but it was safe. Now there are only two people left, Gao and Siqing. Master Gao said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the broken leaves." ”
Along the way, the two of them were not in a hurry to play while walking, Gao Jun saw that Siqing still seemed to have doubts, so he explained to her.
He said, I have seen what Ashina Desire Valley means, and he doesn't believe Heida very much. The number of enemy regular troops that I have seen with my own eyes is 4,000 in Xuanchi and 4,000 in Alashankou, which is 8,000. However, only 4,000 people were chased to Lake Balkhash in the later period, and the later men and horses were all mixed. Where are the rest of the people?
It can only show that these horses are controlled by Ashina Desire Valley and are not moving. Ashina Desire Valley did not believe much in Heda, nor did he have confidence in the war in the west. He was planning to do both, Heida won and lost, and he had different responses. At the moment, we are gaining momentum and not pressing too hard, that is, we want to give them time to settle the family affairs.
Otherwise, if we are in a hurry, we will let these two people huddle together to deal with us, then our little people plus Tocharian people will not be enough. At the beginning, the Tianshan Mu neatly wiped out 1,700 people from Chumi and Golulu, and the significance of this result was to deter them and let them know how powerful we were, but the Ebi Lu was far from breaking the bones.
What Gao Jun said made some sense in Siqing's opinion, but it was still very different from the combat routines taught by her eldest brother Simo, but she believed that Gao had a little more. Along the way, he said to go, he said to stop, he said to find a place to sleep at night, and he went to sleep.
Along the way, they did not see a large number of men and horses making defensive postures, and occasionally a patrol team of a dozen people also saw them from a distance and galloped away, accompanying and monitoring from a distance of more than ten miles. This made Siqing puzzled, is it really like what Master Gao said? Swallowed this breath of the Ebiru Division?
The two of them did not encounter any obstacles on the road, and they were not in a hurry, and Lord Gao really seemed to be leaving enough time for Ashina Desire Valley to solve family affairs. It was three days before they reached the place where Siqing had been bitten by a two-headed snake.
This is called a blessing in disguise, Si Qing not only did not have the risk of life, but even her complexion, which was originally a little regretful, became white, she didn't want to dig out the truth, just from the eyes of the tall man looking at her, Si Qing felt that the bite of the two-headed snake was worth it!
From here, they galloped to the right, in the direction of Broken Leaves, and they could probably be found at the place where Gao Jun and Su Tuo'er had agreed. (To be continued.) )
