Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Deep in the desert, there is a huge lake around which there are thousands of tabernacles.
The Turkic herdsmen rode horses, sang pastoral songs, sang melodious songs, drove cattle, sheep and horses, and were grazing. Looking at it from afar, I saw cattle and sheep everywhere, and there was a peaceful atmosphere.
In the camp, the old and the weak sat together, all happy, talking about the ongoing war.
"The Khan is wise, if we want to retreat to the depths of the desert, the Tang people will definitely not find us, and we can graze in peace."
"In addition to grazing, we also have to prepare jerky and horses for the warriors of the Great Turks. They returned victoriously and were supplied in time. β
"In this battle, the Khan's strategy is very clever, not to fight with the Tang people, only with the Tang people, it will definitely drag the Tang people down and drag them down, and the Great Turks will definitely win."
"If you win this battle, the strength of the Great Turks will skyrocket, and you will be able to restore the country in one fell swoop."
Their eyes were shining, their faces were happy, and they were very confident in this battle.
The style of play adopted by Mo Si has never been seen in Turkic history, it is a completely new tactic, and it is also the most effective method against the Tang army, and it is not good for them not to be happy or look forward to it.
"Rumble!" At this moment, an earth-shattering hoof sound came.
"What a majestic hoof! It must be the triumphant return of the warriors of the Great Turks! β
"That's right! Let's go, greet the warriors! β
The Turkic herdsmen were overjoyed, and they left the camp with wide eyes, looking towards the sound of hooves.
I saw a black line of water appear in the distance, beautiful and smooth, surging quickly.
It didn't take long for me to see clearly, only to see the flag fluttering, which was the flag of the Tang Army.
The Turkic herdsmen saw it in their eyes, but they were happy in their hearts, pointed to the banner of the Tang Army, and cheered loudly: "Do you see it?" That was the banner of the Don Army. It must have been the spoils captured by the Great Turkic warriors. β
"With so many Tang Army banners, the Great Turkic warriors have gained a lot from this, and they have killed a lot of Tang Army."
"Great, I'm so happy."
Just as they were shouting, they could see more clearly, only to see the armor of the Tang Army, and the bright light armor shining in the daylight. It's particularly eye-catching.
"That's the armor of the Don Army! The Great Turkic warriors went out this time, and they didn't know how many Tang troops they killed, otherwise there wouldn't be so much Tang Army armor. β
"That's the Bright Light Armor! My eyes were sunken. β
"The Great Turkic warriors were so brave that they were able to grab so much armor, my God, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. I don't believe it's true either. β
The herdsmen kept shouting, and they all raised their voices and sang.
"Let's go! Go serve hot horses**, delicious jerky, and greet our warriors! β
"That's right! When the warriors return from victory, we must let them eat and drink well, and the horses and jerky are enough. β
The herdsmen happily went to work, carrying hot horses. The fragrant jerky poured out of the camp, and he shouted loudly: "Great Turkic warriors, you have worked hard, drink some horses, eat some jerky!" β
There was a kind smile on their faces, as if they had seen their ancestors.
Li Longji rode on the back of the Night Lion King, watching such a strange scene. Surprised: "These Turks are too thoughtful, right?" β
"This ...... I really didn't expect the Turks to be able to think wildly. Chen Xuanli looked surprised when he saw it.
The Tang army under the leadership of Li Longji came with great fanfare, making it clear that it was the Tang army, and the Turkic herdsmen actually regarded them as the victorious and returned Turkic army, which was too unbelievable, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it to be true.
"They are in the depths of the desert. Those who hide far away think that we can't find it, and it is normal to think that we are Turks. Zhang said with a look of surprise and thought for a while.
"That's right." Li Longji nodded. Said: "Order, attack!" β
The horizontal knife in his hand slashed down heavily, like a thunderbolt and lightning, and he roared, "Kill all the Turkic dogs!" β
"Kill all the Turkic dogs!" The soldiers roared angrily, and their eyes shone with hatred.
"Leave no mouth alive!" A murderous flash flashed in Li Longji's eyes.
"Leave no mouth alive!" The soldiers shouted in unison.
Last year, the Turks slaughtered at the border passes, and the people who died under the Turkic swords did not know how many, which made the Tang army extremely angry.
"Rumble!" The Tang army clenched his horizontal sword and rode his horses, like the tide of the sea, rushing towards the camp.
"What's wrong with them? How do you scold us? β
"They also said that they would kill us all, aren't they the warriors of the Great Turks?"
"If it weren't for the warriors of the Great Turks, what could it be? Don't you want to sue sΓΉ and say that they are Tang Jun? I don't believe it if I die! β
When the Turks heard this, they were all amazed, as if they had seen an old sow go up a tree.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! "Countless arrows appeared in the air, covering the Turkic herdsmen.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! "Where could the unsuspecting Turkic herdsmen resist, and many of them were immediately shot and killed, and a thick layer of corpses appeared on the ground.
"It's really Tang Jun! It's really Tang Tian! β
"Oh my God! How did the Tang Army come here? Am I crazy, or is the world crazy? β
The Turkic herdsmen had to believe that this was the real Tang army, not the Turkic army they expected, and they were all shocked and amazed, they were too eager to understand how the Tang army could find their camp.
"Kill all the Turkic dogs!" Tang Jun roared angrily, clenched the horizontal knife, and galloped over, the horizontal knife in his hand slashed down heavily.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! The dull sound of flesh came and went.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! "The screams of the Turks continued.
Blood splattered, human heads rolled down, and the corpses on the ground were densely packed, and in just a moment, it was a thick layer.
Even the Turkic army was no match for the Tang army, let alone these herdsmen, who were only slaughtered.
"Run! Run! "The Turkic herders finally came to their senses and wanted to escape.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
In front of the Tang army, which was armed to the teeth, they did not have the slightest chance, they were surrounded and intercepted by the Tang army, and soon they were killed with rivers of blood and corpses.
It was a one-sided massacre, without the slightest suspense, the Tang army first slaughtered outside the camp, and then rushed into the camp to slaughter, it took only half an hour. The Turkic herdsmen were slaughtered.
"It's fishy!" This camp is not small, there are more than 20,000 herdsmen, who were slaughtered by the Tang army, and the air is filled with a strong bloody gas.
When I looked around, I saw that the ground was red. The blood that didn't have time to soak into the soil merged into a lake of blood, glittering in the sunlight, indescribably weird.
"I've seen the King of Chu." There were more than 1,000 captive Tang slaves in this camp, who were tortured by the Turks to the point of being inhuman, and were rescued by the Tang army, all of them rejoicing. Hurriedly thanked Li Longji.
"Hmm." Li Longji looked at these slaves, both men and women, all of them pale, and said, "We need your help." β
"King Chu, we are willing to help, please command." The slaves were busy.
"We only need to be strong, and we need to be strong, and we need to be of bad bones. Let's ride back. Li Longji said.
The Tang people are willing to help, but as long as Li Longji is strong, those who are thin are very sorry, and those who are strong are very happy.
"You threw the corpses of the Turks into the lake." Li Longji gave the first order to the Tang people.
"Yes." They gladly accepted the order and carried the Turkic corpses to the lake and threw them into the lake.
"Poof! Poof! "There was a constant sound of corpses smashing into the lake, and in a short time, the lake was a thick layer of corpses.
Wait until the Don throws all the corpses into the lake. The whole lake has been filled, and even a person standing on a corpse will not sink.
"Strong men drove oxen, sheep and horses and followed us. If you are weak, hurry up and ride back. Li Longji threw the leather bag containing the horse ** in his hand, flew on the horse, and led the Tang army to follow.
The Tang people rode horses and drove cattle and sheep horses. Follow the Don Army.
Before leaving, a torch lit the camp, and for a moment the flames soared into the sky.
This fire not only burned the camp down. This water meadow was also burned.
Soon, when he came to a small lake, Li Longji waved his hand, and the Tang people rushed to the cattle and sheep, and the Tang army chopped and slashed, and after killing, the Tang people threw the corpses into the lake.
Li Longji led the Tang army out again, came to a small stream, killed some cattle and sheep, and threw the bones into it.
In this way, the Tang army, under the leadership of Li Longji, wreaked havoc in the depths of the desert and did two things: one was to set fire to the water meadows, and the other was to throw corpses into the water source to destroy the water source.

A group of Turkic troops was galloping, and the leader said: "There is a small river ahead, let's go and fill it with water." Remember, be quick and don't linger. β
The group of Turks galloped towards the river, and smelled a strange smell in the distance.
"What does this taste like? It stinks! β
"It's a corpse smell! That's right, it's the smell of corpses! β
"Impossible, right? Where does the corpse smell come from? β
The Turks were amazed and talked a lot.
"Oh my God!" When they rushed to the creek and saw the situation, they almost hit the ground with their eyes. I saw that the river was full of cattle and sheep bones, which had begun to rot, and the smell was that the bones of cattle and sheep came out.
"The Tang Army has been here."
"The hateful and hateful Tang Army!"
The Turkic army quickly understood what was going on, and this must have been done by the Tang army.
"Fill it in another place." Although the Turkic leaders were not reconciled, they also had to change places.
When they arrived at another water source, the same scenario occurred, which was also contaminated.
The Turkic army changed several water sources in a row, all of which were the same, the water sources had been destroyed and made undrinkable.
"I don't believe it, the Tang army polluted all the water sources here." The Turks are ready to fight.
Until they ran around for two hundred miles, they had to believe that it was true. There was not a single drinkable water source within two hundred miles, and they were completely dumbfounded.
"How's that okay?"
"The horses have no water to drink, and they can't gallop anymore."
"If we don't have horses, how can we fight?"
The Turks were anxious.
People, you can drink urine, you can drink human urine, horse urine, and you can even drink blood. But the horse has no water to drink, so it is in big trouble. The horsepower could not be kept at its peak, which was disastrous for the Turks.
If there were no horses, would the Turks still be Turks?
"Let the horse drink." The leader thought about it and had to bite the horse and let the horse drink.
After the horses drank the water, they rode out on their horses, but soon there was an accident, and the horses were sick and their physical strength was declining, so that they could not move quickly.
Three days later, there were sick horses.
