Chapter 42: Encounter
The Turks are particularly stout, perhaps because they eat as if they haven't eaten in days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Bai Qi looked at Dieros, who was sitting on the ground and gobbling up, thinking wildly.
After eating and drinking, Dieros put the dishes and chopsticks away, wiped the food residue from his mouth with his right hand, got up and bent down towards Li Daozong, and said, "Dieros thanks the Tang Dynasty General for his kindness!" ”
"Where is your father Khan? Why would you go on your own road? Li Daozong asked.
Dieros was silent, as if pondering whether to consider it. On the horizon in the distance, there was a rumbling sound, the ground was shaking, and a large number of Tang cavalry were riding the night and stepping on the moon. Before coming to the oasis, the general led by him stopped with the reins, and the cavalry in the rear also stopped in unison. In the blink of an eye, the thousands of galloping horsemen fell silent, and only the low neighing of horses shaking their heads and tails could be heard.
"Subordinate Zhang Gongjin meets the manager!" Zhang Gongjin jumped off the horse, came to the front of Li Daozong, and hugged his fists.
Dieros's pupils narrowed, then he fell to the ground and said respectfully: "General Datang stormed the camp where my father Khan was, and in the chaos, I escaped with my personal guards!" As for where Father Khan is now, Dieros really doesn't know! ”
Everyone present glanced at each other, and then Li Daozong ordered: "Take good care of His Highness Dieros!" ”
"Yes!" The guards beside him took Dieros to the side of the tent to rest.
"Fengqu, your Cloud Breaking Army is moving fast, immediately search the route where Jieli may escape!" Cheng Yanjin said on the side: "Jieli is now fleeing with all his strength, pay attention to the dog jumping over the wall in a hurry!" ”
"Yes!" White gave a military salute, turned around and organized the resting Cloud Breaker Army, ready to set off to search for and intercept Jieli.
Li Daozong looked at the white chess pieces and smiled: "Old horseman, the two moves of the white boy just now were very imposing!" ”
Cheng Yanjin smiled and said proudly: "Why, the Cloud Breaking Army under the old man is all using this set of military salutes, blind your dog's eyes!" ”
It's already June, and the summer winds are wandering through the Gobi with a restless frenzy.
A crescent moon hung in the western sky, and the yellow sand, which was a little manic during the day, seemed to be lightly brushed by a gentle hand in the hazy moonlight, and it had calmed down at the moment. In the distance, on the sand dunes, the figure of a wild wolf flickered, and on the vast land, there was occasionally a long howl or two.
More than 250 Yunbreaker troops, under the leadership of Bai Qi, Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong, quickly scattered on the silver-white Gobi Desert like flowing water, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye
"How is it, Old Man Li, the old man's Cloud Breaking Army is powerful, right?" Cheng Yanjin stood on the high ground, watching the Cloud Breaking Army attack quickly, with his hands in front of his chest, and said with a smile.
Li Daozong's eyes lit up and nodded: "It's really good!" However, this is what the white boy made up for him, what does it have to do with you? ”
"Hmph, the old man is now the boss of this army, you say it has nothing to do with me!"
"Let's hurry up and find someone to follow, after all, the number of the Cloud Breaking Army is too small, I'm afraid there will be a disadvantage in front of the large number of Jieli!" Li Daozong turned around and went back to arrange the task of encircling and suppressing Jieli.
Cheng Biting Jin blinked his giant eyes, smiled yin, and went back.
Under the starry night, black figures, like elves in the dark, are advancing carefully and quickly on this Gobi.
White suddenly raised his hand, and the nearby Cloud Breaker soldiers immediately stopped and fell on the sand.
Hundreds of meters ahead, dozens of Turkic soldiers were resting around the fire, and a wild wolf was set up on a bonfire, and the Turks were cutting wolf meat at this time.
White split up and swung in both directions, then folded. The soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army immediately divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the right, and carefully outflanked the Turks in front.
"Who!" A Turk suddenly stood up, with a large knife in his hand, turned and drank fiercely, his eyes staring at the vast darkness ahead.
The Turks around him also stood up suddenly, each holding a large knife, back to back, in a circle, looking around nervously. After a while, in the darkness ahead, a white rabbit suddenly rushed out, and when everyone saw this, they put down the knife in their hands one after another, turned around with a smile, and prepared to continue eating.
"That's not right!" The Turks who stood up earlier suddenly shouted, where did the white rabbit come from on this huge Gobi Desert! He jerked one of his companions up next to him, and a little starlight suddenly dilated in his pupils, and the short arrow passed through his companion's throat, and the blood of his companion splattered in his eyes.
"Ah, there's an enemy attack!" The rest of the Turks looked very panicked, and no one had time to care about their companions who had fallen to the ground and did not blink. They picked up their broadswords and swung them up and down, left and right, trying to surround themselves in their own sword light.
Dozens of stars shot out from the darkness around them, like the scythe of death, through the gaps of the dancing knives, and into the bodies of the Turks.
One by one, the Turks were shot to the ground, and the remaining Turks began to panic. They looked around, and in the darkness in front of them and to the left and right, crossbow bolts flew out from time to time, and only behind them was illuminated by a piece of moonlight, and they could still dimly see that there were no enemies, so they began to flee frantically the way they came.
White came out of the darkness, lifted the hood on his head, looked at the Turks fleeing into the depths of the Gobi, and immediately waved his hand, signaling to follow immediately.
"Gemu, are there any Tang people behind you?" A big Turkic man asked without looking back.
The Turk named Gemu, who was running behind him, panted and said, "You won't look back!" ”
The Turk who had spoken before looked back, a flash of stars in his eyes, and a short arrow pierced through his chest. He lowered his head to look at the short arrow that passed through his chest, and with his right hand he wanted to point at the person who followed behind, and said intermittently, "Demon ...... Demon...... Ghost ......", and then his steps were unsteady and he fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the other Turks screamed in fear, and they began to run in one direction in a desperate way.
After chasing for about half an hour, I saw from time to time that there were lonely Turks along the way, who were forced to come together by white chess with crossbow arrows, and then they all ran in one direction like frightened birds.
"Phew"! In the night sky ahead, a firework rose into the sky and exploded, illuminating the darkness nearby in a colorful color.
"Quick, leave these Turks alone, and quickly go to our brothers!" White looks at the place where the fireworks are rising, which means that someone has met the main owner!
In the night, Cheng Chumo led more than 80 people under his command and was fighting against Jieli and the army.
"Damn, why are there so many people? Who ****** the information that this old bastard's men have escaped! Cheng Chumo's spear swept back, picking back the Turks who had pounced, and retreated.
Jieli also has thousands of troops around him, and they are all loyal to Jieli's descendants, all of whom are elite. Cheng Chumo and the others were still hundreds of meters away when they were discovered by the Turkic scouts and forced to fight them.
"Elephant, your hands are all right!" Cheng Chumo shouted loudly.
"It's okay, damn it, they sneaked up on you! Help Lao Tzu catch that bastard, Lao Tzu is going to screw his head off! "The elephant covered his arm, which had been simply bandaged with gauze, and the whole arm was hanging down.
Cheng Chumo gritted his teeth, more than a dozen brothers had been injured, and one brother was pierced through the chest by several Turks, and he passed out, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Now I am fighting and retreating, hoping that the madman and the monkey will come over quickly, otherwise I really won't be able to hold on!
"Chu Mo, Lao Tzu is here!" The sound of white chess came from the left, and Cheng Chumo and them felt like they heard the sound of heaven, and the strength of the spear and halberd in their hands increased again, and for a while, dozens of Turks were swept in the chest, and the sound of broken bones continued to be heard.
Jieli stood up from the army suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he only saw a team of dozens of people, led by a young man in black, like a sharp arrow, quickly inserted into his team.
In the formation of black-clothed youths, all of them were like raptors crossing the river, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and wherever they passed, they forcibly killed a passage paved with Turkic blood.
"Haha, such a good thing, how can I be missing!" Changsun Chong, with the Cloud Breaking Army, suddenly appeared on the right side of the Turkic Army, like a torrent, and suddenly caught the right flank of the Jieli Army by surprise.
Bai Qi and Changsun Chong quickly rushed in front of Cheng Chumo, looking at Cheng Chumo's bleeding tiger's mouth, and then seeing the dozen or so wounded people who were supported by them who could not fight, they couldn't help frowning.
"Withdraw!" Looking at the menacing Turkic army that was about to surround him, Bai Qi suddenly said: "The enemy is outnumbered, and the terrain here is not suitable for our army to fight, go!" We fight guerrillas, play them to death! ”
The eldest grandson's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Damn, guerrilla warfare, Lao Tzu finally has an experiment!" ”
Bai Qi and Changsun Chong led a group of people behind the back hall, while Cheng Chumo and the others quickly retreated, and by the way, they sent people to send the fighters who had lost their combat effectiveness back to the camp for timely treatment.
"Let's go!" Bai Qi and Changsun Chong glanced at each other, and everyone shot a round of crossbow arrows, their bodies flashed, and they scattered backwards and retreated, and disappeared into the darkness of the Gobi in a blink of an eye.
Jieli quietly watched the disappearance of the Cloud Breaking Army, and waved his hand: "To speed up, you must rush to Tuyuhun before dawn!" ”
Leaving behind the corpses and blood in a place, the Turkic army escorted Jieli and quickly rushed in the direction of Tuyuhun, and behind them, Su Dingfang's army had already joined Li Jing and was rushing here.
A cloud secretly hid the crescent moon, and most of the area on the Gobi suddenly lost its moonlight, and the dark area suddenly expanded a lot.
Quietly, dozens of crossbow arrows shot out of the darkness, shooting down the unsuspecting Turkic soldiers who were on horseback, and when the Turks sent people to check, they found that only a few sand pits and a few lines of footprints were left in the place where the arrows were shot, and the people had already disappeared into the vast Gobi.
Shooting, sneak attacks, traps, and sudden attacks from the flanks, the Turks were harassed by the endless tactics of the Cloud Breakers throughout the night, and everyone had a tired expression on their faces. Along the way, they were terrified, fearing that they would be killed by the sudden cold arrow.
The crescent moon on the horizon has set the horizon, and the morning star hangs high in the east.
The rat lay on the ground, listening to the sound coming from the depths of the earth. He suddenly raised his head, pointed in the direction of Lingzhou, looked at the white chess, and said excitedly: "Master Hou, the army has arrived!" ”
Standing in the Gobi, Bai Qi listened to the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then looked at Jieli's anxious face in the distance, smiling happily.
