Chapter 194: The Wolves Go South

The fire around the main tent of the Turkic camp was finally extinguished, and Mantuo, who was smoked to ashes in the thick smoke of the camp, was furious, scolded the generals and soldiers who were patrolling the night, and then with a wave of his hand, he beheaded all the more than 100 people for public display. Just as hundreds of thousands of people in the village were stunned to look at the heads of the hundreds of people who were hanging high on the flagpole and swaying gently with the long wind, a fast horse suddenly shot into the gate, and the Turkic generals on the horse had their helmets crooked, rolled off their horses in embarrassment, and knelt crookedly in front of Mantuo.

"What's wrong with that?" Mantuo was burning with anger and asked impatiently, "What's wrong?"

"Inform His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the Tang Dynasty Dart Team entered the city at night to make trouble in the palace and presented the golden emperor armor given by the Tang Emperor to the Bohai monarchs. The elite of the Flame Sect ambushed in the palace city suffered nearly twenty casualties." The general said in horror.

"Bastard, there are not 10,000 archers in ambush in Miyagi, but 8,000, what are they doing for food?" Mantuo was shocked and angry, and said angrily.

"Tell Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, they ...... They entered through the south gate and exited through the south gate, and they did not enter the ambush circle of the east and west north gates at all." When the Turkic general said this, his whole body was shaking.

"Bastard, what are the three thousand iron horsemen in front of the Xuanwu Gate doing?" Mantuo was so angry that his eyes were full of stars, and he asked sharply.

"They...... Those Tang Dynasty Dart Masters disguised themselves as His Royal Highness the Third Prince, transferred the Iron Cavalry, and went straight to the palace gate, and only the elite members of the Flame Sect had time to fight them." The general said tremblingly.

Mantuo closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before he opened them, waved his hand, and said, "Someone, pull him out and cut him down." Several wolf-like executioners surrounded the general, tied up the general, and dragged him out of the gate.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, now is not the time to pursue the Tang Dart Team, the matter of going on the expedition is imminent, please focus on the overall situation." Luo Puhan, the awl beside Mantuo, whispered.

Mantuo waved his hand in the air vigorously, gritted his teeth and said, "If I let this group of Tang Dart Masters go back alive like this, will I still have the face to see people?"

At this time, the iron sickle beside him bowed and said, "Your Highness, these dart masters are not idle people, they first set fire to the camp to attract our attention, and then put on makeup and transferred the iron cavalry, entered the palace from the main gate, broke through the interception of the elite of the Flame Sect, and handed over the gifts of the Tang Emperor to the Bohai monarchs. This scheming method, as well as strong martial arts, is a temporary choice for the world. No number of masters can be selected from my camp now, and it is impossible to capture them in a short time. However, if His Royal Highness the Prince immediately sends troops to attack the Tang Dynasty and capture the Tang Prefectures, those Tang Dart Divisions are destined to be in the prince's pocket. Under the nest, there are no eggs, please let the third prince decide."

Hearing his words, Mantuo's heart lit up, and the anger of the night immediately disappeared, and a murderous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Order the three armies, carry ten days of dry rations, and set off immediately!"

"Yes!" The generals behind him burst into applause.

In the col outside the capital of the Bohai Sea, Zheng Juchen and other men and horses who withdrew from the Turkic camp, Peng Wuwang and other troops who withdrew from the capital, and Fang Mengjing and Jia Bianque, who were anxiously waiting here, joined forces victoriously. When it came to the highlights of their respective experiences, everyone laughed.

"Brother Peng, this time the Turks have suffered such a big loss, and they will inevitably entangle with us to the end, so it is better for us to leave tonight." Fang Mengjing waited until everyone gradually quieted down from the excitement before she spoke aloud.

"Well, the wise fairy is the wise fairy, and the enemy is the first to be expected in everything, okay!" Peng Wuwang raised his head and said loudly, "Everyone pack their bags, let's go immediately."

"Ordered." The Tang Dart Team, who was proud in the Bohai Sea, responded to the order of the chief dart head with a rainbow of momentum, and quickly packed their bags, extinguished the campfire, jumped on their horses, and rode away in the southwest direction. Just as they had just run a few miles away, there was a slight tremor in the ground beneath their feet, and a vast and blurry cloud of smoke and dust rose on the horizon to the northeast.

"Oh no, the Turkic army has caught up!" Hou Zaichun was anxious, and he was the first to shout loudly.

"Strange, look at the smoke and dust, this Turkic army is no less than 100,000, where did so many Turkic troops come from?" Fang Mengjing looked back and said to herself unconsciously.

"Don't think about it so much, let's hurry back to Youzhou, and when we get to the Tang people's place, we will be safe." Peng Wuwang said in a loud voice. The excitement of everyone just now has disappeared, and they each urge their mounts to speed up and run.

In the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, Peng Wuwang knelt on one knee in front of the Tang Dynasty's fierce general, Youzhou Governor Wang Junkuo, and told him the general situation of the Turkic army he saw along the way.

Wang Junkuo's scarred face gradually revealed a hint of joy that could not be concealed, and he asked in a low voice, "Master Peng, according to you, the Turks have dispatched nearly 100,000 men and horses to kill here?"

"Exactly, General Wang, our dart team has been on the run for seven days and seven nights, and those Turkic troops have been following closely and have come to the vicinity of Youzhou. At noon, we will arrive in front of Youzhou City." Peng Wuwang said in a deep voice.

"Well," Wang Junkuo nodded, pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, Master Peng, please get up." The noble dart team is proud of the Bohai capital, and once it reaches the capital of our dynasty, it will definitely shake the world, which is the supreme pride of our Han people. Please lead the team to the inn in Youzhou City to have a good rest, and those Turkic rats will be left to me to deal with."

"Yes." After explaining everything clearly, Peng Wuwang was relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and went out of the mansion to rest under the guidance of the Governor's Mansion's personal soldiers.

Looking at his distant back, Wang Junkuo smiled at the deputy general Zhuan Yu beside him: "After all, the martial artists in those dart teams are not from the army, and it is really a joke to say that there are 100,000 Turks who follow them."

"What the Governor said is," a flattering expression appeared on Zhuan Yu's horse's face, "According to the battle report, there are 100,000 Turks who have just been repulsed by attacking Yanmen and Mayi, and no matter how many troops are stationed in the Bohai Kingdom, there are no more than 30,000 horses, which is already the limit of the army that the **Turks can take out." There is absolutely no way they will come out of the nest, and they will definitely leave at least half of the men and horses stationed. Then the troops that come out in pursuit may only be about 10,000 to 15,000 men."

"Haha, what the deputy general said is extremely true, this is a good opportunity for me to make meritorious contributions to God, if I can defeat this Turkic people, then the dignified **Turk will be even more destitute, and the day of my Tang Dynasty's conquest of the **Turk is just around the corner." Wang Junkuo looked up to the sky and smiled.

"If the general can perform this miraculous feat, it will be just around the corner." Zhu Yu said flatteringly.

"Haha, okay, immediately gather all the men and horses, take advantage of these Turks who have not escaped from Youzhou, and defeat them in one fell swoop." Wang Junkuo stood up immediately, put the golden helmet on the table on his head, and said loudly.

Zhuan Yu hesitated for a moment, he originally wanted to report the recent heavy casualties of Youzhou Tanma, but after thinking about it: why stop the governor's interest, so he didn't say anything, and turned around to order troops.

This Youzhou Governor Wang Junkuo is a rare fierce general in the Tang Dynasty, and he once created the myth of defeating tens of thousands of troops with dozens of soldiers. Tang Gaozu also once commended him: "You have broken more than 10,000 thieves with thirteen people, and since ancient times, there has been nothing with a small number of people." In the battle of Tiger Prison that shook the world, in the face of Dou Jiande's 300,000 soldiers, Wang Junkuo rode thousands of people to return to the enemy's supply area, copied its grain transportation, sank 30 rice ships, and captured the enemy general Zhang Qing in a battle, making great achievements. In the early years of Zhenguan, Wang Junkuo also attacked several times, killing nearly 2,000 enemies and capturing more than 50 war horses, which was quite meritorious.

Wang Junkuo had no fear of the Turkic enemy, relying on his rich combat experience and brilliant achievements, he was fully confident that he could win again. Since receiving Peng Wuhope's detailed message, Wang Junkuo has roughly sketched out the Turkic march route in his mind, and he immediately ordered 20,000 light cavalry, 20,000 infantry, and 10,000 crossbowmen to kill out of Youzhou City and march towards the Turkic march route pointed out by Peng Wuwang. Because he was too keen on the idea of meritorious service and promotion, Wang Junkuo didn't even realize that the soldiers and horses he brought out were almost all the defense forces of Youzhou City.

The cold sound of bowstrings sounded in Wang Junkuo's ears, freeing him from his chaotic thoughts. A black feather arrow silently came to his chest. He leaned back desperately, but still couldn't dodge the soul-seducing arrow. With a loud bang, the hard heart shield on his chest shattered into a glittering powder, and the bright armor chest disc on his body was shot into more than a dozen pieces, and the menacing black feather arrow was inserted into his chest and abdomen like a decay of the earth, if it were not for the cover of the heart guard and the light armor, at this moment, Wang Junkuo was already on the Nai He Bridge. He straightened up helplessly to lie on his back on his horse, staring blankly at the sky. The sight of the Turkic light horsemen rushing up in all directions like flames turned into a stagnant picture in his eyes.

It was as if the ghost gate was suddenly opened at this moment, and nearly 150,000 ghostly Turkic light horsemen rushed from the east, north, and west directions. The 20,000 Datang light cavalry were surrounded by two elite Turkic cavalry regiments at the first time, and fell into chaos that could not be taken care of. The 20,000 infantry were besieged by more than a dozen enemy cavalry, like a piece of fresh tofu that was too large, cut into bloody and miserable pieces by more than a dozen sharp knives. Before the 10,000 archers could set up their formation, they shot their first feathers, and were ploughed through their formations by tens of thousands of Turkic horsemen like wheat harvesters, leaving behind thousands of corpses that had been trampled into bloody mud, and scattered in all directions. The Turkic troops, who were in a melee with 20,000 cavalry, suddenly scattered in all directions, making way for the Tang soldiers to rush out. When these Tang Dynasty cavalry who escaped death desperately fled in the direction of Youzhou, the rain of arrows in the sky once again plunged them into an even more terrifying abyss of death.

The Turks took the centurion as the basic combat team, and the hundreds of thousands of troops turned into thousands of mobile and changeable squads, fighting in the chaotic army of the Tang Dynasty, and cleanly slashed the 50,000 army led by Wang Junkuo into pieces with undoubted superiority.

"The wolf bless me, and the Turks will win!" The cheers of the mountain shaking sounded from all directions, Wang Junkuo lay on his horse blankly, and was desperately guarded by the deputy general beside him, leading the remnants of less than 5,000 people, and fled towards Youzhou in a hurry. Behind them, there was a sea of Turkic cavalry.
