Chapter 382: Last Stand

In the wee hours of the morning, the lights were still bright, and they had been going south for three days, but Shuofang was still far away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info going down at this speed, it was supposed to be a three-day journey, and they would have to walk for another six days, and now, whether it was He Luohu or Zhu Chang, they didn't reply to the letter, and Tuli, who didn't know what kind of mentality Datang had, didn't have the slightest bottom in his heart. Just now, he swore to the leaders that Shuofang had dispatched 30,000 troops and was on the way north, and the day after tomorrow, he would be able to join the army victoriously. When we arrived in Shuofang, everyone had a way to live.

The generals smiled when he said this,

But he himself knew that everything was fake.

If he hadn't received the news tomorrow, he would have the idea that he wouldn't be able to stick to the south.

As early as the time of retreat, Tuli had already received the news that Jieli had sent troops to pursue, if he traveled lightly, Tuli could take advantage of the opportunity to escape, but now with the drag of tribes and sheep, at the end of the day, he could only complete one-third of the envisaged journey.

Reinforcements are far away, and the Jieli army that pursues them is already in sight. Tuli is not nervous, it is fake, but he is reluctant to give up the tribute of the tribesmen and these "tributes" to the Tang Dynasty, just because he knows that if he loses the tribute, the Tang has no reason to help him, then he Tuli will really perish.

The desperate situation made Tuli restless and unable to sleep at night, and the sky was bright and he still couldn't sleep.

"King Khan, I have caught a spy." Just as he was about to go out for a walk, a patrol of soldiers escorted a man to his side.

"Bring the spies here!" Tuli immediately shouted. During the sensitive period, everyone did not dare to be careless. In order to live a better life, the soldiers who used to be very slow in the past are also patrolling diligently, and they dare not give a discount to the orders of their superiors as before.

"I'm not a spy, I'm the messenger of General Shuofang Huben." When the soldiers brought the "spies" over, the "spies" said to Tuli in Chinese: "On the orders of my general, I came late at night to face the Turki Khan on something important." ”

"You were sent by General Qin?" Tuli took a closer look, and it was really Tang Jun's clothes, and it was really a Han face. However, he didn't dare to rest assured after suffering a big loss, and You asked himself: "What is the proof?" ”

"Nope!" The Tang army messenger made it clear: "When I arrived at your camp, you found out that if I wanted to hide, you wouldn't be able to catch me at all." The messenger looked at Tuli with pride and disdain, and then said to Tuli: "Presumably the general is the Tuli Khan, right?" My general asked me to bring two sentences to the Khan: first, I have 40,000 troops in the Tang Dynasty, and I am already on the way; Second, the general suggested that the Khan should concentrate his forces after calculating the direction of the attack of the Jieli army. If the enemy drives the herdsmen and cattle along the breach, everything will be over, and the gods will not be saved. By the way, the general still had something to convey: Princess Huainan's daughter and Zhu Chang arrived in Shuofang safely. ”

The last words, so that Tuli no longer had doubts, let the messenger loosen the tie, Tuli respectfully performed a Turkic etiquette, trembling: "Thank you general, thank you messenger for telling me in time." You are the saviors of my Tuli tribe. ”

Even though the night was cold, Tuli was still shocked into a cold sweat.

How did Ummon die?

It was the burning cattle that made nearly 10,000 rushing crazy animals into puree.

The galloping ten thousand horses easily wiped out a powerful Umeng.

What kind of spectacular scene is the hundreds of thousands of fire horses, as well as countless fire oxen and fire sheep galloping at the same time?

Unbeatable disaster! Scenes of the unimaginable

The cold suddenness in his hand came up with a frightened answer.

After a while, Tuli took a deep breath and tried to say in a calm voice: "The messenger has worked hard, please enter the account and rest." ”

"Good intentions, Xiao Ke still needs to go back to his life. My beloved horse is very tired, can Khan prepare two horses for Xiaoke? ”

"It's a small thing." Tuli gave a proper explanation to one of the guards, and after they left, Tuli couldn't wait to gather the generals and readjust the military arrangement according to Datang's reminder. In order to obtain the direction of the Jieli army's attack at the first time, he sent a thousand of his cronies to act as scouts, these people are real predators, and Tuli's orders have always been carried out without discount.

********************

At dawn the next day, the southbound army led by the Turks was slowly advancing. When Lian heard that the Jieli army would arrive in the afternoon, and that the supporting Tang army was already on the way. Now there is no need for the soldiers to urge them, and the herders feel that they are trying to move desperately with the strength to pump milk. The sooner they arrived at the Tang Realm, they would be safe a day earlier, and they would not have to worry as much as they did now. Although the walking speed of the whole team is still not fast, it is much faster than when it first set off.

At the turn of the time and the Shen time, the herdsmen who walked in the front had already seen a river, this inland river was actually not wide, only about ten zhang, only knee-deep, wading through the water.

The herdsmen did not wait for orders, and consciously drove their cattle across the river.

Behind the hill ten miles from the river, Ashina Meroya stood solemnly under a big tree, and behind him stood more than a dozen Ural tribal generals, all armed with maces and armor. Behind them were 40,000 sharpened weapons and fierce eyes of the Turkic cavalry in front of them.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the wasteland, and a fast horse roared to Ashina Meroya with the knight on its back.

The knight on the horse jumped down and saluted Ashina Meroya: "Great Khan, the Turki tribe has crossed the river, and the north bank is in chaos!" ”

"Good! Haha, finally waited for this opportunity! I want to see what Tuli is capable of resisting my 40,000 elite horsemen! ”

Ashina Meroya laughed, this is the time he was waiting for, this place is all plains, there is no danger to defend, just in time to take advantage of the Tuli to arrange for the herdsmen to cross the river with a large number of cavalry to launch a strong attack.

And he has already found out clearly, in order to protect the herdsmen, the Turki army is really as Jieli Khan said, the 50,000 army is divided into four roads, the front and back, the left and right sides, since the herdsmen have crossed the river, it means that the front army and the left and right armies also crossed the river at the same time, which also indicates that the Turki army that is carrying out the vigilance task will not exceed 20,000 people, as for the Tang army that Jieli asked him to guard against, there is still nowhere to be seen. This also indicates that he can confidently and boldly put all 40,000 troops into battle, defeat the Tuli rear army with lightning speed, and then cover all the way, and quickly leave the battlefield and return north after getting supplies.

In order to protect their relatives, the Turks will not evacuate, and can only fight with his elite cavalry on the plains with fatigue. If he is defeated, then he doesn't have to think about building the first Turkic tribe, and finally overthrow Jieli and dominate the country, but honestly act as Jieli's lackey.

"Sons! Let's go! Let this shameful traitor of Tuli taste the power of our Ural Iron Cavalry! Ashina Meroya roared, and the forty thousand iron horsemen behind him began to move forward slowly.

After marching for several miles, Ashina Meroya ordered to start accelerating, and the 40,000 Ural cavalry grabbed the reins, fell on their horses, swung their whips and slammed their horses' buttocks, and entered the sprint stage.

Just as Ashina Meroya began to give the order to attack, Tuli by the river quickly received information from the scouts about the appearance of the Ural tribesmen's army, which had been formed by defeating him.

"Just in time! Let's make a decision. The light of hatred flashed in Tuli's eyes, as early as noon, he had already combined the intelligence of his scouts and the Tang army, and knew the news that Ashina Meroya would attack here, and Tuli was not only not afraid of this, but liked to be happy. Because when he received the news from the Tang Army, he also received a word sent by the Tang Army: a battle against the water.

The allusion of the last battle Tuli still knows.

Roughly speaking, it means that there is no way forward and there are pursuers behind them, and only by fighting to the death with the enemy can there be a way to live, and this river is the "Jedi" that Tuli intends to use to make a fuss.

The Turks were all soldiers, and there was no established clothing to distinguish them, and everyone subconsciously believed that those who drove livestock, raised whips, and carried goods were the people. After receiving the information from the Tang army messenger, Tuli made a switch between the herdsman and the sergeant. Therefore, Ashina Meroya saw that the front army, the left and right armies that crossed the river were actually the real people, and the people who were "huddled together" were the real soldiers.

Five against four, Tuli has the advantage in numbers, and this is still a desperate force. What other reasons did he have for his failure?

"Warriors, Ashina Meroya, who slaughtered countless of our brothers, is about to be killed!" Tuli gave the people on his body, and said in a mournful voice: "Warriors, in front of us are our parents, wives and children, and in front of us is an impassable river that lies in front of us, we are now on the verge of a dead end, there is no way forward, there are pursuers behind, in order to protect our parents, wives and children, in order to survive, we can only kill them, they are only 40,000 tired troops who have come from a long distance, and we are 50,000 warriors who have been tempered and tempered, and we will win." Warriors, go on your horse with your Khan and slay the enemy. ”

The soldiers, who only knew that there was a river in front of them, but did not know the size and depth of it, were panicking when they heard the news of the enemy's killing. The sudden words immediately stimulated their wildness.

Oh, yes!

On the contrary, it is a death, Lao Tzu does not lose money if he kills one, he kills two to earn one. There is no way to retreat, so fight to the end.

People are blindly obedient in despair, and under the conscious drive of Tuli, they jump on the back of the horse one by one, staring at the front with crazy eyes.

Just as they were ready, they finally heard a rumbling sound of men shouting and neighing from the northwest, and at the same time, all the Turkish soldiers felt the ground tremble slightly, and the experienced veterans immediately judged that it was the hoof vibration brought about by the rapid galloping of a large number of cavalry.

Tuli looked in the northwest direction, only to see a black line appear on the horizon in the distance, this black line slowly thickened and expanded, and gradually rushed towards the phalanx of his own army.

"It's finally here!" When Tuli saw the cavalry appear, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he had been lining up the formation and waiting nervously with all his attention, which was a triple test of will, physical strength and mentality for his soldiers. At this time, he had already seen that some of his soldiers were already on the verge of collapse.

"That's not a good sign!" Tuli secretly said that it was not good in his heart. So he drew his scimitar and shouted: "Charge, charge, don't let these thieves hurt our loved ones." ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers who survived the 50,000 catastrophes killed the enemy on the opposite side with desperate determination. (To be continued.) )
