The town of Shattered Leaf is located next to Shattered Leaf Water, close to Atami (also known as Daicheongchi, that is, Issyk-Kul Lake in later generations).

Twenty years ago, it used to be one of the four towns of Anxi, the westernmost military town of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, but now this city has become the Great Tooth of the Turgish (the location of the Khan's tent is called the Great Tooth).

The largest and most imposing courtyard in the city, made of stone, was the Tent of the Turgish Khan, and a smaller courtyard next to it was the residence of the Turgish minister Dumodus.

Dressed in a noble satin robe and a pointed wolfskin hat, Dumodu had a thin face, a gloomy expression, and a fierce glint in his eyes, and Mucha trembled as he knelt before him.

Dumodu turned around Mucha's side with his hands behind his back a few times, and Mucha almost urinated in fright, but fortunately he had thought of a statement before he came, otherwise he would have been afraid that it would be difficult to pass today.

"What you say is true?"

Mu Cha shuddered, and said in a loud voice: "It's true, if the villain has a lie, he is willing to be punished by death!" ”

Du Modu stared at Mu Cha, Mu Cha felt like a needle prick, if it weren't for his wife and children being controlled by Zhao Ziliang, he knew that he would have collapsed by now.

After a long time, Dumodus scolded: "This damn Negro, useless waste! If he can't do this, what else can he do? If he can't do this, it's just that, and he scrapped all the fine work nets that we worked so hard to manage in Shule Town, and now we are deaf and blind in Shule Town, and we can no longer know every move of the Tang Army! ”

Mucha did not dare to do anything for fear of angering the sinister old fellow.

Du Modu lost his temper and gasped and said to Mu Cha: "Okay, this matter has nothing to do with you, since our fine work net in Shule Town has been destroyed by the Tang Army, and you can't go back, then you can stay and give me a good falconry!" In addition, you have been to Moon Bow City, and you are familiar with the situation over there, and after a while, Master Ben wants you to go to Moon Bow City to spy on Mohe Dagan, so you have to be prepared."

Mu Cha breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly said, "Yes, master!" ”

After Mucha went out, Du Modu clapped his hands, and soon there was a man in black in the room, Du Modu asked, "How is the situation over there in Mohedagan?" ”

The man in black said: "Mohe Dagan has recruited all the men over the age of fifteen in the tribe to form an army, and he has more than 12,000 horsemen!" In addition, he sent people to lobby around. It is reported that the tribes of the Gello people in the north have been moved by him and promised to send troops against us."

"Qarluk?" Dumodus was shocked, and then he was furious: "Aren't the Qarluqs nomadic herding west of the Golden Mountains (Altai Mountains)? Why didn't these damn Tiele tribes stop, how could they be persuaded by the people sent by that old fellow of Mohedagan, who were free west of the Golden Mountain? ”

The man in black said: "The tribe of Ge Lulu has now migrated to the grasslands south of Jinshan, and their leader is an old ghost who is greedy for money, and Mohe Dagan sent him two carts of gold, silver and jewelry, and that old ghost loves money as much as his life, so he naturally agreed to send troops to deal with us together!" ”

Gelulu is one of the Tiele tribes, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty Beiting Protectorate, mainly scattered between the Turks and the Later Turks, who are the descendants of the Tang Dynasty after being destroyed.

Gelulu has three surnames, one of which is the Mouluo Department, which is mainly distributed in the southwest of the Altai Mountains, and the Tang Dynasty set up the Yinshan Governor's Mansion to manage the local tribes in the location of the Mouluo Department. Second, it is the Po Lu Department, which is in the north of the Mouluo Department, but in the southwest of the Altai Mountains, and the Tang Dynasty, where the tribe is located, set up the Xuanchi Prefecture Governor's Mansion to manage the local tribes; The third is to step on the strength, mainly distributed between the south of the Irtysh River and the Ulungu River, where the Tang Dynasty set up the Desert Prefecture Governor's Office to manage the local tribes. The leaders of Qarlu are called Yehu and Yinal, so they are also called the three surnames Yehu.

Du Modu's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said coldly: "It seems that Mohe Dagan is ready to fight us to the end, you immediately rush back to Moon Bow City, keep an eye on Mo Hedagan's every move for Master Ben, and report to Master Ben at any time!" ”

"Yes, my lord!"

・・・・・・

On the shores of Lake Clearwater.

In the open space next to the camp, the knights were training hard, and the cavalry rode forward in turn, shooting their bows and arrows at the opposite target as they galloped.

"Whoosh・・・・・・ arrows flew to the target in front of them, most of them hit the target, and a small number of them landed on the grass behind the target.

When he was just one stone's throw away from the arrow target, Zhao Ziliang swung his bow, pulled the reins with his right hand, and the war horse turned to the side and ran, he shouted while riding the horse: "Don't stop, follow me on!" Shoot arrows in your quivers as fast as you can."

At this time, he was already facing the arrow target from the side, Zhao Ziliang twisted his waist and opened his bow to shoot arrows at a row of arrow targets on the side, he continued to take arrows, open the bow, and shoot arrows, there were a total of twenty arrow targets in this row, and when he rode his horse and galloped past the place in front of this row of arrow targets, there were only five arrows left in his quiver bag.

From the land of two arrows to the land of one arrow, he used the dashing speed of his horse to shoot five arrows, three of which hit and two missed, which was only a few seconds, which shows the speed of opening the bow, while the other commanders and soldiers only shot three arrows at most, the most hit two arrows, and the least one arrow did not hit.

After turning, Zhao Ziliang shot a total of twenty arrows, twelve targets hit, eight targets missed, and the other commanders and soldiers only shot a maximum of twelve, a maximum of eight, and a minimum of three or four.

Returning to the starting point, the horses stopped, and the other riders also rode their horses and galloped over. It has been more than a month since he camped by Qingshui Lake, and Zhao Ziliang led Sanshi to train every day, practicing infantry defense and offensive formations in the morning, practicing equestrianism, riding archery and sprinting and slashing in the afternoon, and the other two went out to patrol and rotated the next day.

The soldier who reported the number came over with a gun and said: "Deputy Fort Lord, the results of the robes this time are out, Deputy Fort Master, you have hit a total of fifteen times, reaching sixty percent, Liu Shichang, He Shichang and Chu Shichang hit twelve, eleven and ten times respectively, and the others are four to nine times respectively, compared with the previous days, they have all improved a little!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, stepped forward, turned around and said to his more than thirty horsemen: "There were only twenty real cavalry among us, and the other thirty were infantry.

We have plenty of arrows, and each of you carries a few bundles of arrows with you to practice and keep practicing, and our stakes are strong enough for you to practice sprinting and chopping without stopping! Brothers, fight against the barbarians of the Turgish, they will not show mercy, on the battlefield either you die or he lives, I don't want to die, I believe you don't want to die either, we are still young, we have not yet married and had children, there are still many things to do, how can we be willing to die? Therefore, in order to survive on the battlefield, the only way is to practice hard to kill the enemy, now we have enough food and grass, we can devote ourselves to training, for the sake of our own lives, brothers should not be slack and lazy, continue to train! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers responded with a bang.

After Zhao Ziliang himself after more than a month of strengthening training, the effect is still obvious, in the past, his shooting bow and arrow hit rate was generally only about 50%, now there is basically a 60% hit rate, and it is relatively stable, his commanders and soldiers have also made more obvious progress, progress is hope, killing skills are their own, can accompany for life, so all the soldiers are extremely diligent.
