Chapter 750: The Decisive Battle (11)
The autumn wind swept across his cheeks on the side of Xiangyang City, and it was already a little cold like a knife, and at this time, it was already cold on the grassland, and he couldn't take it at all. The endless earth had turned golden, and the broken grass swept up by the wind could fly miles away in one go. Wrapped in a thick leather robe, the wind can still penetrate it and make people shiver.
Two hundred and thirty miles to the northeast of the Turkic royal court, corpses were everywhere.
The master was killed in battle, and the soulless war horse trampled back and forth beside the dead body. It hung its head and rubbed its already cold and hard master, trying to wake him up from his sleep. It didn't seem to know that its owner could no longer groom its mane, or that its owner lying on the ground had run out of blood. It thought that the owner was just asleep, just tired.
After waiting for a long time, the master still did not get up and jumped on its back again.
A hissing sounded, revealing a deep sadness.
On a high slope, a woman in a long white mink dress stood. She was draped in a thick coat, and her delicate face was red by the north wind.
She looked at the dead body in the field not far away, but her face was surprisingly calm.
"Holy Maiden...... The Tiele people retreated forty miles back to set up camp, Ashina Bugua's men and horses were stationed on the left flank of the Tiele people for five miles, and the black wolf-headed cavalry of Zamuhe was arranged on the outermost periphery, probably to guard against our surprise attack. ”
The burly, loyal guard stood beside her, his head hanging and talking.
"Greng Tai, how many people have we lost?"
She asked.
"About 11,000 people were killed and more than 4,000 wounded. The 10,000-strong team of Ashina Chongli and the force slave was almost gone. Ashina defeated the battle, but his 10,000-strong team still had about 9,000 troops left. ”
"What about the enemy?"
"About 30,000 people were killed in the battle, and the rebels of Ashina Bugua lost about 5,000, if it weren't for the fast arrival of the black wolf-headed cavalry, we would have been sure to destroy the enemy's 50,000 troops in this battle! Zamuhe's nose is so sensitive that he looks like a hunting dog. Although General Liu's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain is beautiful, it is a pity that Zamuhe is too cunning. ”
Gelentai, who was on par with the majestic sea, sighed and said, "If Zamuhe comes an hour late, we can swallow the 50,000 people under his command in one go." ”
The woman who looked a little weak in the cold wind nodded, and looked back at the group of cavalry that was gradually approaching in the distance: "Send the fattest sheep to General Liu and send them over, and select some obedient slaves from the captured Tiele slaves, and send the most beautiful ones to the women." You must remember that without General Liu's clever plan, we would not have this victory today. 35,000 enemies were killed and more than 10,000 were wounded...... Zamuhe is only afraid of smashing the cup now. ”
"I understand!"
Gelentai nodded and said, "General Liu is not only a warrior, he is also a wise man. He is the best gift that Changshengtian has sent to our Turks, and with General Liu here, we don't have to worry about whether we can win this battle. ”
"He wasn't sent by Immortal Heaven."
The woman in white shook her head slightly and looked at the well-equipped Han cavalry: "They are reinforcements sent by Li Xian, the master of the Central Plains, King Yan. King Yan also said that as long as he exterminated the last two enemies, he would personally bring the best warriors to help us kill all the Tiele people. ”
"Yan Wang ......"
The handsome man appeared in Gelentai's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I really didn't expect that one day we Turks would fight side by side with the Han people. ”
"Hatred is the most dangerous thing in this world, and there has always been only hatred between us grassland people and the Central Plains people. Therefore, they killed each other, and the white bones of the people who died in the battle on both sides for thousands of years were piled up higher than Yanshan. Hatred is a kind of power that fills people's hearts with killing. ”
The woman in white said lightly: "But hatred is not irresolvable, when the grassland people and the Central Plains people can fight side by side, what kind of enemies in this world are invincible?" ”
Gelentai nodded and smiled: "I'll go and bring wine to General Liu, and you can come when the sheep is roasted later." ”
"Good!"
She nodded, her gaze again far away.
Dozens of miles away, where she could not see was the enemy's camp. There are at least more than 300,000 elite cavalry there, including 30,000 people under the banner of the black wolf's head, which is almost invincible.
"Zamuhe...... I'm going to make you pay. I finally made the grassland calm, and finally made people forget about the fighting and war for a while. But you have broken the tranquility and made people pick up their cutlass again...... He said that killing is also a means of pursuing peace, and sometimes ...... Or the only means. ”
Her gaze was calm, with a hint of murder.
"Holy Maiden!"
In the distance, there was a shout of excitement from Greng Tai.
"Come and see what General Liu has brought back! You'll be amazed! ”
……
……
Liu Hongji sat next to the fire and roasted his hands, and glanced at the captive who was squatting more than ten meters away with his hands tied. It was a boy of only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a typical steppe appearance. It's not very old, but the beard on his chin is already connected. Looking at the figure of this young man, if he was placed in the Central Plains, he would definitely be mistaken for a thirty-year-old strong man.
The captive squatted there, not knowing whether it was because he was afraid or because the north wind was too bad, he was trembling, and his eyes were in a trance.
"How did you hold him?"
Ge Lengtai handed a roasted golden oily lamb front leg to Liu Hongji, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "This kid is a fat sheep, with him in his hands, Zamuhe is like being held by our tail!" Tell me, I can't stand the itching in my heart. ”
Liu Hongji smiled, tore off a piece of tender meat from the front leg of the lamb and stuffed it into his mouth.
The thick aroma immediately spread in the mouth, and the hot aroma swirled in the stomach, making people feel an indescribable comfortable feeling, and they even wanted to shout.
"I led the black wolf-headed cavalry of Zamuhe with my men and horses, and Zamuhe chased out with 30,000 black wolf heads for a maximum of fifty miles before he noticed that something was wrong, and his men and horses stopped and prepared to return. At that time, the saint also attacked with a wolf horse, and if Zamuhe came back, the plan would be in vain. ”
Liu Hongji said while eating: "I will take the cavalry back and kill back, and use your wolf pack tactics to harass Zamuhe." If he doesn't fight, I'll bite his cavalry one bite at a time. If he wants to fight, I will withdraw, and I will keep pestering him like this. Later, Zamuhe saw that the loss was too great, so he left this kid behind and asked him to stop it with a team of 10,000 people...... One-on-one, even if it's the black wolf head under Zamuhe, I'm not afraid, how can I be afraid of this hairy boy? ”
After getting along with the grassland people for a while, Liu Hongji also spoke with a rough taste.
"After killing the 10,000-strong team, I realized that I was still a fat sheep when I grabbed this kid...... It turned out to be the son of the Great Khan of Tiele Zamuhe! ”
Ashina Duoduo, who had been sitting quietly on the side, leaned over slightly: "On behalf of millions of Turkic people, I would like to thank you, General Liu, without you, there would be no today's great victory." Since the Tiele people went south, they have won consecutive battles and have occupied thousands of miles of fertile pastures. If there is no victory, I don't know how frightened and sad the people will be. ”
Liu Hongji hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Holy daughter, don't say that, since the lord sent me, I naturally have to do my best, this is my business." The lord has said that he will honor you as he did to him. ”
"But for my Turkic tribe, it's a favor."
Ashina Duoduo said sincerely: "We Turkic people value friends the most! ”
"Yes!"
Ge Lengtai patted Liu Hongji's shoulder hard and said, "You are our friend!" ”
Liu Hongji was stunned, and he had a very ridiculous feeling in his heart. He never imagined that there would be a day when he would be treated as a friend by the Turks. Whether he served in the Great Sui or as a general in the Tang Dynasty, he fantasized more than once about leading an expedition to the north of the country and completely defeating the Turks. But today, with 10,000 elite light cavalry, he is helping the Turks in battle.
Perhaps sensing the change in Liu Hongji's face, Ashina Duoduo smiled and said: "When the hatred is resolved, all that remains is the purest friendship. ”
This sentence made Liu Hongji's heart shake slightly, and he nodded, solemnly and seriously.
"After killing all the Tiele people, General Liu, you will still go back to the Central Plains, right?"
Gelenthai asked.
"Hmm!"
Liu Hongji nodded: "The Central Plains has not been unified yet, and the lord is still waiting for me to go back." ”
"If only you could stay."
Gelentai sighed and said: "Your wisdom is deeper than the water of Qingniu Lake, with you helping us, no matter who the enemy is, what is there to fear?" Come one to kill one, come ten thousand to kill ten thousand. Or I will marry my daughter to you, so that you can stay in the royal court." ”
"Huh?"
Liu Hongji was taken aback and said curtly: "She's only twelve years old, right?" ”
Greng Tai laughed and said: "It's not small, she said she wanted to marry a hero since she was a child, and in my eyes you are a hero, I think she must think the same." ”
Liu Hongji saw that Ge Lengtai didn't seem to be laughing, and waved his hand again and again: "I'm three years older than you!" ”
"What are you afraid of!"
Kelengtai said loudly: "I don't think you're old!" ”
"I think you're too young!"
Liu Hongji said urgently.
Gelengtai didn't understand, but Ashina Duoduo couldn't help laughing. She looked at the two men in front of her, but what she thought in her heart was, how good would it be if the grassland people and the Central Plains people could be so friendly forever?
……
……
Less than fifty miles from the Turkic camp, there was a large stretch of tents that looked endless. The camp's lit torches lit up half of the night sky.
In the largest tent, the enraged Tiele Khan Zamuhe smashed his beloved jade cup.
"If you don't get little Naha back tonight, I'll screw all your heads off!"
He pointed to the Tiele generals in front of him and said, "Bochi, you lead a team of 10,000 people to attack the east of the Turkic camp, and try your best to make the momentum bigger." It looks as if 100,000 people are attacking! Lure all the Turks over, and as long as you can do it, I will give you five hundred cows, three thousand sheep, and you can run on horseback for half a day, and the size of the pasture will be yours! ”
"Yes! My Great Khan! ”
Bo Chi, who was as strong as an ox, responded and bowed his head respectfully.
"Lan Xuhai... You take a team of 10,000 men to deal with Bochi, and if the Turks come out, you have to make sure that they don't come to the side of the camp in one go. ”
"Yes!"
Zamuhe turned his head to look at Ashina Bugua, who was sitting on the side and hung his head silently, and sneered: "Ashina Bugua, although you are a Turkic, when you knelt down in front of me and became a vassal, you were already a Tiele person. This is a decisive battle, and you shouldn't be left out. You are the main attack tonight, and you are responsible for rescuing my son Naha. If you can do it, I'll make you a good king!" ”
"Huh?"
Ashina's face changed greatly, and he wanted to refuse, but when he saw Zamuhe's cold eyes, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Yes! My Great Khan. ”
"Go, all of you, I look forward to bringing back my handsome little Naha when the sun rises early tomorrow morning, and I await in the tent the return of you, the mightiest warriors of Tieler. You must remember that there is only one master on the grassland, and that is our Tiele tribe! The throne that the Turks snatched from our ancestors, we will take it back today! ”
"For the great Tiele Khan!"
Everyone raised their wine glasses and said loudly: "Tiele tribe for the favor of the Immortal Heaven! ”
Zamuhe drank the liquor in the glass, glanced sideways at the woman sitting next to him with her face covered, and said in a low voice: "I can get you, it is my greatest gain...... Only a beauty like you would come up with such a clever plan as letting Ashina divinate them go dog-eat-dog......"
The woman with her face covered leaned on Zamuhe's shoulder and said softly: "The Great Khan must remember his promise to me, after dominating the grassland, he will lead a powerful cavalry over Yanshan Mountain, over the Great Wall, and snatch my home back." ”
"Don't worry! Beauty...... Since I promised you, I will definitely do it! ”
Zamuhe patted the woman's face lightly and pulled her into his arms. The woman who fell into Zamuhe's arms smiled and smiled, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.
Li Xian...... I'm going to make you pay!
