Chapter 304: The Counterattack Begins

Lin Sen and they rushed to the road, it can be said that they have been through thick and thin, except for the necessary rest and occasional replenishment of some supplies, they basically never stopped.

Fortunately, they are all configured with one person and four horses, except for the necessary silage and compressed dry food, there is no drag, and the speed of the journey is definitely not bad.

By the way, of course, Lin Sen also wanted to hone this group of subordinates, after all, they had been out of battle for a long time, and they were afraid that they would not be able to fully adapt to the difficult conditions of wartime, so they thought about using this way first, so that they could gradually adapt to it, and they could also better run in and increase the degree of tacit understanding with each other.

The rotation and vigilance in the march, and the training on weekdays, are still somewhat different, and there is a process to learn to deal with all kinds of situations.

Facts have proved that the quality of these Zi Yiwei is indeed not bad, and they also have a lot of previous training foundations, and they cooperate with each other very well.

From the awkwardness at the beginning, to the later adaptation, and then to the real rush to the grassland at the end, they can easily complete the day's rush and exploration tasks, and even have mental misery.

After all, is it still in the territory of Datang, although it is already close to the area where they fight each other, but it is still somewhat more relaxed than the real hostile area.

This group of people sat around and simply took care of the food, which was nothing more than boiling some mare's milk or milk tea to save the compressed dry food from being too dry to eat, or simply boiling some water, putting the compressed dry food in it, boiling it into a pot of paste and drinking it together.

Lin Sen equipped each of his subordinates with an additional iron lunch box, which was very convenient for drinking water on weekdays, and it was also suitable for cooking something directly on the fire like now, so it was very popular with these guards.

Another thing that can be regarded as a favor is to give each of them a tea cake, anyway, there are more horses, so there is no place to put it.

And there are not a few Yiwei who have heard of this tea name, and naturally they know the benefits of this thing, especially when they go to the grassland, or they are about to usher in a winter day that does not see a little green, and having this thing is tantamount to an extra life.

While eating, the gang also discussed the compressed dry food they had at hand, and what tasted like they had this time, which was one of their few pleasures. The taste of this batch of compressed dry food made by Lin Sen is indeed very changeable, and it can be regarded as a good improvement compared to the original taste that will be tired after not eating for long. Once launched, it was widely praised in the military.

You never know what the next smell will be, and you can always look forward to it.

"What do you smell like?" Whenever this kind of topic is brought up, they can always have a good conversation.

"My roast chicken smells." This one is a little proud.

"I still smell of hooves." The other is also not to be outdone.

"That's what I like with sweet chestnuts." This one doesn't seem to be of much interest.

"Be content, I still smell of boogers." Someone shouted angrily.

Hearing this, the team suddenly became more lively.

"Ouch, it's the first time I've heard of your taste."

"yes, does it smell so weird?"

"Looks like I'm pretty tasty."

"No, how do you know it's a boogie smell? Such an adult, do you still like to pick your nose and eat and play? The other obviously paid attention to the hidden information behind these words, and couldn't help but ask loudly, which was even more terrible.

"Vomit~" I can't help but want to vomit, and I have to scold a few words of disgusting, but more people are still making fun of the guy who shouted the smell of boogers.

Lin Sen was there smiling at the farce in front of him. It's a good thing for the subordinates to relax appropriately, always have been tightening the strings, it's easy to break, and when the time comes, there will really be a fight, but you can't play the real level, moderate tension, and a degree of relaxation is the best state.

At the same time, Lin Sen did not forget to calmly drink the energy drink he made, the main ingredient of this thing is tea, but many natural caffeine substitutes like guarana are added, which generally have the effect of refreshing and anti-fatigue.

Sometimes, in order to save trouble, some will be added to the mare's milk to drink together, and by the way, the taste will be changed.

The main reason is that Lin Sen has always led by example, every time he is on duty at night, he will be responsible for the vigil in the first half of the night, isn't it considering that his five senses are particularly strong, no one is more suitable than him.

With this energy drink to help refresh your mind, you can complete the sentry task with a hundred times more energy, and you will not drop the chain at a critical moment.

It is precisely because of his style that he is more convinced by his subordinates and recognized him as a top boss.

In such a hurry, it didn't take long in total, in Shuofang City, the bridgehead for attacking the grassland, after replenishing supplies for the last time, Lin Sen and the others entered the area actually controlled by the Turks and officially started the reconnaissance mission.

The location of the Turkic king's tent is not too difficult to find, and after going deep into the grasslands, it is not difficult to get some clues from the herdsmen who are preparing for the winter, and there are also spies from the Tang Dynasty in advance to report these news, and Lin Sen They are more important to determine the specific location according to the general location.

Of course, this kind of thing can't help but have Lin Sen with such a reconnaissance weapon as Huangtian, let Huangtian go out to investigate by himself, and then let it grab the dumb hair and go over to confirm it after the target is determined.

Knowing the general size of the enemy, and more importantly, after determining the location of Jieli Khan, their task is temporarily over, and they don't need to be too meticulous to get close to investigate, because that is tantamount to telling the other party that the Tang Dynasty's army is about to fight, at least the fight with the enemy's scout elite is also indispensable.

In the case that the army of the Tang Dynasty has not yet completed the assembly, Lin Sen cannot start the battle without authorization. Moreover, among the orders he received, there was also restraint.

So far, Lin Sen has already overfulfilled the task, after all, he changed to other scout teams, and he didn't pay some price for his life, he didn't want to get this first-hand information.

If you want to be as detailed as he came up, the price must be terrible for such a team, and you have to risk war.

While Lin Sen was constantly confirming the location of Jieli Khan and the distribution of the tribal army under his command, the army of the Tang Dynasty had gradually completed the assembly.

With a strategy to be staged in advance, every army can be targeted.

In the end, the Six Route Army came out together, Li Jing was the head of the Dingxiang Road march, and Zhang Gongjin, a confidant of Li Shimin who had made meritorious contributions to the book, was the deputy to lead the Chinese army.

Li Tao was the head of the march of the Tongmo Road, and led the main force from the east road to directly attack the hinterland of the Eastern Turks.

Chai Shao was the head of the march of the Jinhe Road, and advanced along the Yellow River on the West Road, echoing Li Jing and Li Tao from afar.

Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng County, who was the most capable of fighting in the clan, was the head of the Datong Dao march, and Zhang Baoxiang was the deputy, advancing from Lingzhou to the northwest.

Replaced Wang Junkuo, inspected Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, and was the head of the march of Heng'an Road, guarding the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic army from fleeing eastward.

Xue Wanshu, the governor of Lingzhou, this is Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun's brother, this family is a great general, and it is also quite appreciated by Li Shimin, so he became the head of the Changwudao march, and used the northeast to attack the Turkic rear and monitor the Turkic Khan.

More than 100,000 troops were subjected to Li Jingjie, officially opening the curtain of counterattack against the Turks.
