I didn't know that for myself, the two women took a eunuch and began to work hard, at this time, after a morning of wild running, through the misty snow, Li Jie took his Turkic cavalry to go deeper than 100 miles, but at this time, they were stuck in a grassland. [Mobile phone, tablet to read novels, please visit m. directly, update faster, more data-saving]

Before the trip, according to the configuration of no one and two horses, more than 400 horses were all placed at the back of the dirt hillside. Li Jie personally led more than 20 people to lie on the ice and lie on the grass and crawl to the front, a large flat grassland edge, a large pile of Turkic felt formed a long camp in front of him, and the large grasslands on both sides were empty.

However, such a formation stopped Li Jie, in the half-intercepted telescope, in the Turkic camp, Turkic strong men lazily rubbed their hands around the camp and patrolled back and forth, and the Turkic women were milking cows and goats for daily life, a very ordinary scene of nomadic life in the grassland.

However, in the round telescope tube, the next scene changed, two Turkic men walked out of the tent carrying and eating the whole mutton bones, but they casually threw the mutton bones five or six meters outside the tent, in Li Jie's telescope, the whole lamb ribs and thigh bones first fell into the snow halfway, and the mystery was swallowed up by the ground covered with light snow, and there was no trace.

"Damn prairie swamp!" Putting down the binoculars and moving his numb hands, Li Jie scolded angrily.

Next to him, Yang Yi also slowly opened the map with anxiety, the map was long, a long and narrow gray for more than 100 miles, and now it was proved to be such a thing, and he walked for more than ten miles in a row, and the only two narrow gray broken lines were already on the hard ground that could be passed, and there were already Turkic handles, and his fingers were cruising on the map. Yang Yi was also shaking his beard and was quite undecided.

"Go east, there is the territory of the tribe, 30,000 households and more than 70,000 people, you can't go there, the west is still the activity area of the steppe wolves, it's too dangerous, it's really not okay, let's wait a few days, and when the land is frozen in the cold, we can pass, Your Highness?"

The grassland swamp is actually this grassland land is too soft, and the melting snow water has formed a pit on the ground that I don't know how deep, and what is more dangerous is that the snow on it continues to cover, and it is impossible to see it from the surface.

But this is a seasonal trap, it only exists in spring and early winter when the rain and snow are wet, and the rest of the time it is no different from the ordinary grassland, lying on the cold grass, Yao Geluo tentatively suggested, looked at the map and thought about it. Li Jie shook his head and denied.

"No, it's very cold now, no matter how cold it is, we can't make a fire in the wilderness, we can't wait to go north, we can't stand it anymore, and we can't afford to wait for time."

Huaihua to Shuozhou all the way up the mountains and rivers, the road is rugged, walk the Great Wall, there are more than ten days can not arrive, turn Shengzhou to the location of the capital of the palace is even more far, now Li Jie took such a big risk to go north, grab is a time.

Now I can't pass, and the tight time has now formed such a sharp contradiction, looking at the flat mud in front of him, Li Jie just can't stop the headache and regret, find out that from Huaiyuan, Xiazhou has brought more planks, if it is tied into a raft, it will not be so helpless, but just when Li Jie can't advance or retreat, suddenly on the road they came, it was the sound of war horses galloping on the snow.

"Your Highness, look, there is a situation!" Yao Geluo hurriedly lowered his voice and said, in fact, there is no need for him to say, Li Jie's telescope has already followed nervously, and in his sight, more than a dozen Turkic riders rushed all the way to the Turkic tribe that was on the land bridge in the swamp, holding some strange-looking bones-like things and shouting loudly.

After a while, the entire Turkic tribe was in chaos, the woman avoided in panic, and the man scolded and turned over on his horse in a leather jacket, and in the chaotic noise, more than a thousand horsemen gathered in front of the tribe, followed by more than ten horsemen stepping on the frost and snow and went south, looking at the almost half empty camp tent in the tribe, Li Jie was immediately overjoyed.

"Your Highness, the Turkic camp is empty, should we go down now?" Yao Geluo, who also had sharp eyes, also said in surprise, but after hesitating, Li Jie still waved his hand to suppress the few people who were about to move, and said cautiously. "Wait until Li gets back, it's a bit strange for them to go so far."

Although he said this, Li Jie was still nervous and restless, his two fists were twisted together, in the end he was still a young man, and he was cautious just because he couldn't afford to lose his life, and that impulse was still his nature.

In the nervous waiting, a few fat balls in the snow finally crawled back, and just arrived in front of Li Jie's more than 20 people lurking, Li Yan immediately rushed over excitedly and shouted. "Your Highness, good news."

"In the south, our Tang army is advancing north, and a certain thorn tribe has to rush to intercept the troops in various small sub-tribes, and this small tribe is empty in front of you!"

"The Tang army marched north?" Hearing this news, Yang Yi first frowned, muttering suspiciously, he stayed in the Great Wall Pass near Huaiyuan County for more than ten days, but he couldn't understand the situation in the vicinity, a total of more than 5,000 people in the pass, even if it was transferred in the nearby pass, it would take at least a day to gather more than 10,000 people.

Even if Li Jie's bold move scared Zheng Bao enough, could he lead the army north so quickly and decisively?

"Your Highness, will there be any fraud?" Yang Yi frowned and pulled his beard, said cautiously, thought about it, but Li Jie nodded very firmly and said. "Even if there is fraud, we have to break through."

In his previous life, Li Jie was an authentic liberal arts student, he didn't have so much rational thinking, he thought it was simple, but he didn't go over, this trip was in vain, and Yang Yi said it was also abrupt, but the old guy still carefully arranged two cavalry to follow the tribal cavalry in the south, and waited for them to run out of more than ten miles, and then he gathered people with confidence.

In the roaring cavalry pace, more than 200 horses and 400 horses were like gods descending, and the remaining Turkic defenders immediately screamed and rode on their horses, but after so many years of peaceful life in the Tang Dynasty, they lived too comfortably, and they didn't give these Turkic cavalry much time to prepare, and rows of arrows had already roared past.

"Girl, hold my waist tight!" Holding the horse's neck and following the cavalry brigade unsightly, seeing that the Turkic camp in front of him was getting closer and closer, Li Jie turned around responsibly and admonished, behind him, Pei Ying, the girl was speechless, holding the horse between her legs, and her little hands were wrapped around Li Jie's back and said angrily. "It's almost as good as me holding you and letting you not fall!"

The old face was red, but Li Jie didn't distinguish anything, holding the horse's head and looking forward seriously, in front of him, Scar Liu and Sheng Wenjian had already put down the long Turkic iron spear, Yao Geluo This guy is worthy of the steppe people who are skilled in bowing horses, and when he was more than ten meters away from dozens of cavalry interceptors, he still had the leisure to finally release a sword, and then he set up an iron spear under his armpit.

In a round of cavalry shooting, the Turkic tribesmen who rushed to the battle had fallen more than ten horses, and the iron spears advancing in the head-to-head confrontation killed more than 20 people, and the remaining Turks simply scattered in fear, and the simple Turkic camp could not stop the surging cavalry at all, and they were directly hit by the galloping horses.

"A certain thorn has an order, and the tribe is not allowed to have conflicts in wartime, this is the territory of our Elok tribe!" In the camp, a Turkic fat old man with a broken leather jacket was still shouting in an ugly voice, and the medicine grid * crisp, who was tired of listening to it, shot an arrow with his backhand, and shot right on the top of the fat old man's melon.

Directly an arrow turned over the Lele car, the fat old man stood up on the ground for a long time, then his eyes rolled and came to life, it turned out that an arrow was nailed to his leather hat, it took a long time, the fat old man finally stood up with the help of several female slaves, looking at the tribe that was trampled all the way by more than 200 horses, the old guy was angry, and the Turkic curse was endless.

"Patriarch, what should we do?" After waiting for a long time in fear, one by one the tribal officials cautiously came over, looking at a pair of eyes and eyes on themselves, as well as the warriors of the tribe wailing outside the camp, the fat old man shouted angrily. "What else can I do? Report that a certain thorn has taken advantage of the fire, and it must be those guys from the Geluolu tribe who are taking advantage of the fire to rob us, and let the adults give justice to our Elok tribe! ”

"Don't be a special mother, go quickly!"

In the shouting of the Turkic fat old man's kicking and beating, a dozen or so tribal officials suddenly dispersed in a hurry, and after a while, the Turkic tribal cavalry who had just been beaten and fled into the desert separated more than a dozen horses, and went south on horseback.

At this time, Wu Meiniang and Qin Qing's Huaihua Great Wall Army was in a crisis at this time, before Wu Meiniang had already estimated that the Turks might not dare to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty now, after all, more than ten years ago, the mighty Tang Army had already scared them, and before the situation was clear, the assassination tribe did not dare to offend the Tang Dynasty.

However, the point of not fighting to the death just happened to hit the soft underbelly of the Tang army, the Tang army of heavy infantry was not afraid of the hard steppe cavalry, rifle, Mo knife, every weapon can make the Turks pay a heavy price, but the Turks did not rush head-on, and always used the steppe people's tricks to attack the Tang army.

The Turkic cavalry divided the horses and rushed to the front of the Tang infantry town, and only threw out the Turkic heavy arrows about 30 paces, and for a time the arrows rained down in front of the Tang army, and the rain of arrows made up for it directly caused a large number of casualties to the Tang army that was passively beaten.

After about an hour of fighting, the heavy iron shields of the Tang infantry were full of arrows, and some of the infantry infantry were pierced like hedgehogs, and the front-line infantry suffered heavy losses.

But the Turks have a numerical advantage, and they have long been prepared, and in a short period of time, the 15,000 Turkic army has almost doubled, and more than 29,000 Turkic archers are enough to suppress the whole field, and even in some places, the Tang army infantry has been beaten with feathered arrows and can't raise their heads, and even the command part, where Wu Meiniang is located, has been affected by the rain of arrows.

"It's all for Lao Tzu to resist! Shoot at Lao Tzu and fight back! ”

Zheng Bao's voice was hoarse, shouting back and forth in his infantry group, but after shouting for a while, Zheng Bao came back with a sad horse, and said with a sad face to Wu Meiniang. "Wu Neishi, this battle can't go on, and if you fight again, it will collapse!"

"No, we must ......" The pretty face turned pale, and Wu Meiniang, the woman, was still forced to reprimand this something, but just at this time, two arrows flew into the array, and slammed in front of Wu Meiniang's horse, and the white horse was so shocked that she raised her hooves, and the dignified iron lady couldn't calm down, and shouted in panic. We retreat, retreat! ”

Pulling Qin Qing, who was also pale and neat and trembling, the two girls ran back very simply under the cover of some Yulin Yamen army shields, and were stunned when they saw the backs of these two girls, and scolded sadly, Zheng Bao had to run to the front of the battle again, and ordered loudly to the insistent infantry.

"Shield men cover, crossbowmen retreat and shoot! The cavalry rushed forward to mount and shoot cover, and we, retreated!! ”。
