Chapter 123 Three Turquoise Goes South

Hesa was riding on his beloved purple shadow horse, but his head was so dizzy that he could barely sit still. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As a twenty-three-year-old young man, his illness was almost insulated from Hesa, and he had been a physically fit man since he was a child, and there was only one reason why he was so weak: dehydration.

In fact, he was not the only one who was dehydrated, but all the 10,000 cavalry he carried under him.

As the son of the Great Khan, the Turgi prince of Turg, this was the first time in his life that he was in charge of a team of 10,000 men alone, and the task given to him by his father Abicheril was definitely not easy. Due to the severe shortage of troops and the difficulty of implementing the road from the east to the Western Regions due to the establishment of Sand Lake City, the main force of the Tukhi army's attack would advance south from the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, but Abicheril did not abandon the eastern route. Although the existence of Sand Lake City has halted the advance of Tuqi and made it difficult for the large army to pass, it is still possible to use small forces to detour into the Western Regions, of course, at the cost of avoiding the Ranger Sentinels of the Silk Country, and having to avoid many places where water can be replenished, which is why today's Heza army is so short of water.

Abicheril did this out of helplessness, but he knew that if a strange army could unexpectedly appear behind Wang Hanxin's flank, the effect would be unimaginably great. However, if such a dangerous and difficult task were to be carried out by someone else, it would inevitably be difficult to say anything among the Turkic nobles, so Abicheril appointed his son as the commander of this surprise attack.

It was precisely because of his understanding of his father's hard work that Hesa resolutely took over this burden. He also tried his best to avoid the eyes and ears of the Silk Country along the way, and on several occasions he had to break up his troops and pass through the enemy defense area and then regroup, and this kind of command alone did not result in the loss of the team, and Hesa was enough to boast that he was a great commander. However, the biggest problem he faced now was that an important water intake point when he was making the battle plan had lost its track due to the diversion of the dark river, so the troops were in danger of running out of water, and if they could not find water for two more days, then his army would all die in this vast desert.

Now there was not much choice before Hesa, either to rush to the next water source, but even without losing his way, it would take four days, which meant that he had to kill his horse and drink blood to reach it; The other is to turn south, there is a water source in the northwest of Shazhou, where it is only a day's journey, but it is possible to encounter the ranger sentinel of the Silk Country.

In the end, Hesa decided to take a risk, if it was really discovered by the soldiers of the Silk Country, then at most it would be better to kill them all than to kill the horses and lose their combat effectiveness.

After a full day of walking south, Hesa and his troops finally reached the small river called the Baisha River.

When the desperate Turks arrived, they did not listen to the order, and rushed to the river, eager to drink it dry.

After the cool river water poured down his stomach, Hesa's discomfort for a day disappeared in an instant, and his mind was much clearer, and Hesa immediately ordered the whole army to get water as soon as possible and immediately hit the road.

It was this order of his that played a key role, as his order caused the originally chaotic Tukis army to regain the ranks, and at the same time as they regrouped, an army of the Silk Nation also appeared in their sights!

Hesa broke out in a cold sweat at that time: if he gave the order later, then he might be picked up by the army of the Silk Country, and the Tuqi soldiers who could not command without a sequence would definitely be a mess under the attack of the enemy, and even if they were not defeated, they would suffer heavy losses.

But no matter how you say it, your whereabouts have been exposed. Hesa estimated the size of this army of the Silk Country, which was about 5,000 people, and it was unlikely that he would want to completely annihilate this army. Especially since this is not far from Shazhou City, even if the other party can't win, it is not difficult to retreat, and his secret actions will be in vain. Hesa's mind was spinning rapidly, since this army would come here to show that they were also here to fetch water, then they would not have too much water in their hands, if they could use this to attack this enemy army with all their might, and use the mobility of the cavalry to intercept and kill it after being defeated, the remnants of the opponent's army would still be able to drive out the opponent under the premise of lack of water supply.

Having made up his mind, Hesa immediately commanded his troops to cover up the army of the Silk Country.

The well-drunk Tuqi cavalry roared and rushed towards the army of the Silk Country, but unlike the usual army of the Silk Country, this army was automatically divided into two groups, and about half of the troops took the initiative to form a formation to protect the other half of the troops.

Hesa felt very strange, in the face of the superior enemy army actually divided his troops to resist, it was difficult to imagine what his purpose was, but he didn't have time to think about this, since the other party divided his troops, then it was the perfect time for him to concentrate his forces to defeat one of them.

After a short burst of bow and arrow shooting, the cavalry of the Tukchi army stepped into the formation formed by the army of the Silk Country, and the flying Tuckus scimitars and the long contradiction cards of the Silk Country clashed fiercely, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

Riding on the Purple Shadow horse, Hesa fired arrows one after another, constantly shooting enemy soldiers in the direction of his own soldiers' assault. If you want to test the bow and arrow skills of Tukhi, then Hesa can at least rank in the top five, under the cover of his bow and arrow, the army of the Silk Country, which was already difficult to resist the impact of the Tukxi cavalry, was even more chaotic, and was soon broken through the array by the Tukchi cavalry.

But at this moment, Hesa saw a familiar face, it was his sworn brother Wang Hanxin's sworn brother Chen Shihua!

Chen Shihua was born in the green forest, and after leading the rebel army to defeat Wang Hanxin, he became a brother with Wang Hanxin, and he has been following Wang Hanxin to fight in the east and west for all these years, so he also knew Hesa. Among Wang Hanxin's several righteous brothers, Hesa likes the calm and experienced second brother Zhou Siyi the most, and the next is this cheerful and straightforward Chen Shihua. Unexpectedly, the world was unpredictable, and he met him on the battlefield, and Hesa immediately urged the horse to meet him.

"Brother Chen, let's go! I don't want to kill you. Hesa had already taken a great risk by saying these words, and there were not many people in the Tuqi army who knew the Chinese language of the silk army.

Chen Shihua saw Hesa, sneered and said, "Isn't this Barr? When you sneaked into Chang'an, you should have thought that there would be this day, and our meeting must be life and death, so why pretend! Pick up! ”

As he spoke, Chen Shihua swung his big sword and attacked Hesa.
