After entering the wax moon, the weather is getting colder and colder.

And at this time, Hou Junji led his 10,000 soldiers and horses, and finally came to the territory of Dangxiang, and approached the Tuoba tribe.

And at this time, the Tuoba tribe had already learned the news.

"Leader, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty Marquis are only a few days away from us, this is ...... How good is that? ”

They didn't expect that just because they didn't respond to Datang's Wanguo to come to the court, Datang actually sent soldiers and horses directly, which is a little too capricious, right?

Tuoba Yong's expression was solemn and said, "How many soldiers and horses does the Tang army have?" ”

"Ten thousand soldiers."

Hearing that the Tang army only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, Tuoba Yong breathed a sigh of relief, indeed, with their Tuoba tribe, there was really no way to compete with the Tang Dynasty, but if it was only 10,000 soldiers and horses, he was really a little afraid.

"Since there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, then we will wait for him to forget it, and I will let the people of other tribes know that Datang is not so terrible."

The rest of the Tuoba tribe was a little nervous about this.

They don't want to be enemies with Datang, because once the war happens, even if they can win one game, what if they win, Datang will send more people, at that time, what should they do?

They felt that Tuoba Yong was now dying.

But as subordinates, they had no choice but to follow Tuoba Yong's arrangement and begin to prepare for battle.

A few days later, Hou Junji's soldiers and horses came to Tuoba Yong's territory.

Meanwhile, Tuoba Yong is already waiting.

This is how the two armies met.

Hou Junji glanced at Tuoba Yong, a young man who seemed very energetic and ambitious.

It's just a pity that he's a little ignorant of current affairs.

"I sent an edict from the Tang Dynasty to wait for the tribute next spring, why did you refuse?"

Hou Junji didn't mean to fight as soon as he came up, but asked first, Tuoba Yong smiled here: "My Tuoba tribe is not a vassal of your Tang Dynasty, why do you want to pay tribute, don't you think it's a bit too much for your Tang Dynasty to do this?" ”

Hou Junji snorted: "Excessive? My Datang is strong enough, and I have the ability to ask you, if you come, you are a guest, and if you don't come, you are an enemy. ”

Hou Junji's words were cold, and people couldn't help but feel a chill.

However, Tuoba Yong smiled: "What if it's the enemy, do you think that if you Datang destroyed the Turks, it will be great, my Tuoba tribe just doesn't want to surrender to you Datang, what can you do to me?" ”

"If you refuse to surrender, you will be beaten until you submit."

After the two of them shouted like this for a while, they immediately started a fight.

The soldiers of the Tuoba tribe swarmed and killed, and on the side of the Tang army, it was immediately the Tang Dynasty crossbow and trebuchet to greet them.

The lethality of these two things is very good, so before the soldiers of the Tuoba tribe rushed up, a group of people were shot or stoned to death.

However, the cavalry of the Tuoba tribe was still very fast, they rushed forward quickly, and when they left the shooting range, the trebuchet and the Tang crossbow lost their effect.

However, even so, they still destroyed some of the soldiers and horses of the Tuoba tribe before the battle.

Blood sprayed, and the bare desert was soon dyed red.

In the cold winter, several black wolves watched this scene from a distance, and let out a few manic howls from time to time.

The two groups of soldiers and horses were quickly killed in one place.

I have to say that it is not unreasonable for the Tuoba tribe to become the most powerful tribe in the party, and their soldiers' physique is very good, and there is no need for the Turks to be bad at all.

However, Tang Jun's Tang knife is not a ruler.

The Tuoba tribe, relying on a large number of people and good physique, fought hard with the Tang army, and the Tang army fought hard with the Tang knife.

Two groups of soldiers and horses killed like this, killing for an hour, and there was no difference between victory and defeat.

If the Tuoba Department only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, they might have lost by now, but their numerical superiority could have dragged down the Tang army.

The two sides fought back and forth, and the smell of blood slowly spread, making people smell sick.

After another hour of slaughter, the sky gradually darkened.

There were casualties on both sides, but the victory was still dead.

Hou Junji's eyebrows condensed slightly, he originally thought that he could easily defeat the Tuoba Division, but he never thought that the Tuoba Department was much stronger than he imagined.

And he had a hunch that if they continued to fight like this, the situation of their Tang Army might be very bad.

It was getting late and late, and after Hou Junji thought for a moment, he immediately withdrew his troops and retreated.

First, it is dark, and they can't fight anymore, and second, if they fight the Tang army again, they may be defeated, in this case, it is very bad for their situation in the Tang Dynasty, they can sacrifice many people, but they must not be defeated.

If defeated, who in those countries still takes the Tang Dynasty seriously, and who will go to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute?

Therefore, Hou Junji knows very well that his task is very arduous, and he must not be defeated.

After the Tang army returned to the barracks, Hou Junji summoned a group of his subordinates.

"Do you have any good solutions and suggestions for this situation?"

In today's battle, they have an understanding of the strength of the Tuoba Department, and with this understanding, what to do next must be reconsidered.

"General, the strength of the Tuoba tribe is not particularly strong, but it relies on a large number of people, if we have five thousand more soldiers and horses, it will be enough to defeat the Tuoba tribe."

"That's right, if you don't ask the Holy Lord, let's increase the number of troops."

"Yes, if there are no reinforcements, our strength will be on par with theirs, and if we kill for a long time, we will not have an advantage."

Everyone understands the strength of the Tuoba Division, so in their opinion, the only way now is to ask for the support of the imperial court.

It's just that when they were talking like this, Hou Junji's face was very ugly.

From Chang'an City to here, there is a half-month journey, and it takes more than 20 days to go back and forth, in that case, everything will be delayed, and if you go back to Chang'an City to ask for reinforcements, you must not be laughed at by your colleagues.

He Hou Junji can't afford to lose this person.

Everyone said, Hou Junji shook his head: "Just go to Chang'an City." ”

He didn't explain too much, but everyone immediately understood what it meant, not only Hou Junji felt ashamed, but they also felt ashamed.

Just because he didn't defeat the Tuoba Department in a battle, and then he had to ask for reinforcements, it really didn't sound good to say.

If they don't ask the court for reinforcements, what should they do?

Everyone looked at each other, and at this time, a person stood up and said, "General, there is no way, the relationship between the tribes of the party is not good, we might as well take advantage of it......"
