"Almost all of our army can ride horses? Take it all with you? As the deputy marshal, Cheng Yanjin also came back, and he was very surprised to see Qin Feng let everyone take him away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't blame him for this, you must know that the Central Plains Dynasty has been lacking in war horses since ancient times, and there are very few people who can ride horses, and it is precisely because of the disadvantage of Mr. nature that the best commanders, famous generals, generals, and military advisors of all dynasties have racked their brains to think about how to tap more potential of the infantry, so that the infantry is definitely the king of the Central Plains. Cheng Yanjin subconsciously thought that even if the Tang Army now had the Three Treasures of Cavalry, which could make the Tang Dynasty cavalry rely on it, being able to ride a horse and fighting on a horse were two different things, and he didn't think that those who could ride a horse would fight on a horse.

"Yes!" Qin Feng said with a smile: "In our army, there are no people who can't ride and fight, and riding skills are only the most basic requirements. People who don't know how to ride horses are weed. Shuofang is on the border, and almost all the soldiers who come out of the border are all there, and in addition to the border people under my command, there are also a large number of young people who have returned to the south, and these people have lived in the Turks for several years, more than ten years, not to mention horseback riding. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Feng said to Cheng Yanjin with deep meaning: "The border army lives in a harsh environment, their physique and combat power are by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers living in the hinterland, and every family in the border city is almost full of hatred and hatred against the Turks, they go to the battlefield, all of them are brave warriors, as for the soldiers who return to the south, they are even more powerful, they are brave soldiers, they can also be called dead soldiers." ”

"How's the preparation?" At this time, several main generals had already walked in, and Qin Feng asked.

Zhang Shigui said: "The personnel, war horses and other aspects have all been put in place, just wait for the general to give an order." ”

"It's all two-man two-riders?" Qin Feng asked more. Nowadays, the pursuit of Jieli Khan requires day and night, non-stop, and even resting on horseback. In any case, they are going to stop Jieli and annihilate them.

Today, Jieli Khan's army has been almost eaten by the Tang Dynasty, and there is nothing left for the elite troops, and a large amount of grain and grass required by the army is all hoarded in Dingxiang. As for the army of Jieli Khan, now it can only be levied on the spot, and the military discipline of the Turks is poor, once the matter of requisitioning grain, it will definitely have irreconcilable contradictions with the tribes on the way, and when the time comes, in the face of the Jieli fleeing army like a locust in transit, the Turkic people on the road will definitely flee in despair, and then Jieli Khan will fall into a desperate situation with no food to eat.

Because of this, Qin Feng didn't want to give Jieli Khan a chance to breathe at this critical juncture, no matter what, he had to stop Jieli Khan and completely annihilate the Turks.

**********

Everything in the Turks can't escape Qin Feng's expectations!

Like a frightened bird, Jieli Khan led the remnants of the defeated army to run for their lives,

Although Jieli ran more than half a day earlier than him, Jieli Khan was not as light as Qin Feng who was pursuing, and he did not lead the remnants of the army to run without a head, every time they arrived at a tribe, they rolled up and fled from all the tribes they encountered, and after a period of time, there were more and more large troops fleeing north, but because of this, the trip was delayed a lot.

This is not because Jieli Khan showed off his brain and ran away with the people, but Jieli Khan couldn't but bring it, and had to bring it. This situation is dictated by the nature of nomadic peoples.

The Turks are not a large Central Plains, with a large population, mountains and forests, and small soldiers and generals have no human rights. If this kind of incident were encountered in the Central Plains, as long as the family members were incognito or found a place to hide, there would be no big problem, but the Turks were different. They are in a harsh environment, and breaking away from the tribal group is tantamount to death, and all of their leaders are chiefs of various tribes.

They have to run away, and it is impossible to leave their wives and children behind, and their families must be brought with them. These leaders also have their own henchmen, and in order to win them over, they also told them their true purpose.

Although they seek secrecy, it is impossible to hide the bad situation from everyone. Many of the guards and Zhe Li, the strongest soldiers around Jieli, vaguely learned some of the situation, and secretly notified their families to keep up. This one is passed on one by one, and there are a lot of people who drag their families and mouths. Although Jieli was resentful and anxious about this, he was helpless. In this desperate situation, it is impossible for him to deal with his own people, and in the current situation, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mutiny, even if he knows that they will delay the speed, he has to take them with him.

But just as they were fleeing for their lives. Unfavorable news began to spread among the army.

In just half a day, their group of nearly 100,000 people knew exactly what their real purpose was to escape, and behind them, the 130,000 Tang Army was in pursuit. It could be killed at any time and take their lives.

Unease, fear, creeps in everyone's heart.

Facing the threat of death. Some people wisely chose to break away from the fleeing army. Secretly fled from Jieli Khan with his family and friends, and went to fend for himself, anyway, the grassland is vast, and it is safe to hide wherever he goes, anyway, the purpose and goal of the Tang army is Jieli. It is impossible for the Tang Army to waste manpower, material resources and precious time in vain because of their small shrimps, even if they are unlucky enough to meet the Tang Army, it is a big deal to surrender.

Some people are not fast enough and have to leave the team and become helpless and alone. And many more people can't see their loved ones and have to turn back and look for their families.

As a result, the situation of being left behind and fleeing the next morning occurred......

Day 3......

The situation is getting worse and worse, and there is a big rhythm of collapse......

"Khan, Khan!"

Jie Li slept in a daze, and only felt that an urgent voice was not stopping, and the voice seemed to be in his ears, and it seemed to exist in a dream......

Dizzy, he sat up from his horse. I patted my cheek vigorously, and I felt like a tight rope was tied around my head. Squeezing his head: because he was too worried about the situation, he couldn't sleep well for four days in a row. It wasn't until the early morning of the fifth day that he was tired and leaned on his horse and closed his eyes.

This tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and it woke people up before they had slept enough, and the whole person felt as if they were going to die, uncomfortable and.

Zhao Deyan, who was riding with him on the side, saw him wake up and said in a low voice: "Oh no, I just roughly estimated the number of people, including the family members, and the accompanying people are less than 80,000. There must be traitors in our crowd, constantly spreading rumors, and bewitching people's hearts. ”

"Eighty thousand?"

Jieli Khan shook his head vigorously, he pinched himself hard, and finally came to his senses.

But after sobering up, it was even more of a headache: the people they collected on the way to escape were more than 100,000, and now it has only been a few days? and escaped one of the thirty thousand......

The Tang army hasn't caught up yet, they haven't walked half the way, they have already scattered and lost 20,000 people, if the Tang army catches up, will they be able to pay back?

"I've guessed that there is a traitor since the rumors...... "Jieli Khan said helplessly, "but what can be done?" If we stop to investigate the traitors, it will only make the Tang army catch up, and it will also make people panic, and they are just aware of this point that they dare to spread rumors so arrogantly. Tell me to go down, mainly to conduct secret investigations, and not to cause panic, even if I can't find it, it doesn't matter. It's all come to this point, what more can you ask for? ”

Zhao Deyan looked into the distance, now it is the hour of the hour, the sun father-in-law jumped out of the horizon, shining the sky and the earth with light, but in his eyes, the front is dim, and there is no light at all.

Jieli Khan has never been so depressed in his life, looking at the long mess behind him: where can you see the slightest battle spirit on the faces of the brave soldiers, and some are just numb. One by one, the elderly man let the men in the family carry him and hurried away, and the children wept bitterly in their mother's arms......

is so miserable, sad from the heart, and the circles under my eyes are red.

"It's me who is incompetent, I'm sorry for you!"

Suddenly, he noticed that the people at the very end were in turmoil, and they were crowded forward in confusion, screaming and howling, as if something terrible had happened.

"Could it be that the Tang Army has caught up?" Jieli couldn't help but shudder, and fear began to spread in his heart.

Zhao Deyan also noticed the abnormality, and also thought of the same question, and exclaimed: "How can it be so fast? ”

Although they took the people with them, although they brought their families, they went ahead for a long time, and everyone in the Turks was good at riding, even if they were family members, they also used horses to walk, even if it would delay a little time, the Tang army had no reason to chase so fast......

This is not reasonable at all, the speed of the march of the Tang army can be compared with that of the Turks?

The answer will soon be revealed!

Zhan Erhu rode up from behind, and said eagerly: "King Khan, it's General Ashnasimo who is here. "He was the first to notice the situation, and he knew the answer.

"Ashnasmo? He answered us? How many people are there? What about the Ashnasimos? Let him come to me quickly. Jieli Khan threw out one question after another, which showed that he was extremely anxious.

Unlike Jieli Khan, Zhao Deyan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Zhan Erhu's depressed demeanor, he suddenly felt ominous, and his heart couldn't help but be cold to the freezing point.

"King Khan, Wuyuan has lost ......" At this time, a man covered in blood rode a horse, and when he saw Jieli Khan, he jumped off his horse and kowtowed to Jieli Khan to ask for guilt.

"What did you say?"

Jieli Khan looked at Ashina Simo who kept kowtowing, and his drowsy brain couldn't react at once.

"King Khan, Wuyuan, Wuyuan is lost." Ashnasimo repeated, not daring to look at Jieli Khan, just kowtowing on the frozen land, making a thumping sound. Ashina Simo also knew about the situation of Dingxiang through Zhan Erhu, and even knew that Wuyuan was the hope in the heart of Jieli Khan, and he happened to be the one who broke Jieli Khan's hope. Wuyuan was lost, which meant that their back road was broken, and if they wanted to return to the Khan Court, they had to spend dozens of times more time bypassing Wuyuan and those steep mountains, and then passing through Tiele's territory. Such a detour, not to mention the long distance, which also has to withstand the pursuit of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the blocking of Xue Yantuo, who integrated Tiele, whether he can escape the Khan Court or not. It is precisely because of this that Ashina Simo has no face to face Jieli Khan.
