Chapter 144: Follow Me, Kill!

"General Zhang, the Turks have come to rob the grain!" A lieutenant in charge of escorting the grain truck reported loudly to Zhang Qianmiao, who was hiding in the grain truck.

According to the pre-war arrangement, once the Turks come to rob the grain, these our sergeants who escort the grain and grass will immediately abandon the grain cart and flee, and now the Turks have appeared in the field of vision, and their hundreds of sergeants in charge of escorting are almost complete and are about to retreat, but this arrangement is only known to this captain, and the other escorts do not know.

Zhang Qianqiao made a few tapping sounds to show his understanding.

"Brothers, the Turks are outnumbered, we can't resist them, hurry up and retreat, go back and report back!" The lieutenant immediately ordered his sergeants to flee quickly.

The view on the steppe is still very good, and the Tang soldiers who escort the grain and grass can find the situation in the distance from afar, and after seeing the Turks coming to rob the grain, they can still calmly escape.

At the beckoning of this captain, hundreds of Tang soldiers escorting grain and grass fled south on horseback before the Turks arrived.

When the Yuanhao brothers led their subordinates Pegasus to the Tang army's grain convoy, the Tang army escorting grain and grass had already dispersed and fled south, and the grain trucks that had no one to drive were parked on the grassland.

"Big brother, Tang Jun is really afraid of dead ghosts, we ran away before we arrived at them!" Ashde, who stopped his mount, said proudly to Ashde Yuanhao, who was slightly ahead.

"The grain and grass escorted by the Tang Army this time is not small, it is just enough for our army for more than ten days! Hahaha!" Ashide Yuanhao laughed and said, "Brothers, hurry up and drive these grain trucks away, and the Tang Army Brigade may come to fight back in a while!"

The joyful Turkic soldiers immediately obeyed the order, and some dismounted, jumped on oxen or horses pulling the carts, and drove the grain carts north.

"Big brother, is Tang Jun scared of us and runs away if he doesn't resist!" Ashde, who ran back, was still uncontrollable and proud, and asked Ashde Yuanhao.

"Second brother, I think the Tang army thought that now we didn't dare to send troops south to rob their grain and grass, so they sent such a small number of men and horses to escort them!" Ashide Yuanhao was also very proud, "We have successfully grabbed the grain and grass of the Tang Army five times in a row, and this time there are quite a lot, and we will definitely be rewarded by the Khan and the chief when we go back!"

Compared with the previous few times when the Tang army resisted desperately, which made their own side pay a lot of casualties, this time it was easy to hijack grain and grass, and there were no casualties, this is a great achievement, and there will definitely be a lot of rewards when you go back, and even the pastures of your own tribe may be expanded, which is what Ashid Yuanhao hopes to see the most.

"Big brother, let's go!" Asid was even happier at that step.

"Drive!" Everyone hurried and drove the grain cart back north.

It was already after noon, and near Daqingshan, more than 1,000 people led by Liu Yi were still lurking quietly.

From morning to noon, several hours had passed, and some sergeants had already revealed their anxious emotions, and even some commanders kept coming to ask Liu Yi, but Liu Yi's order to them was still the same, they were still standing in place, waiting for his orders.

When Liu Yi performed tasks in later generations, he often lurked for most of the day, or even a few days, so that it was nothing to him at all, and it was in such a large valley, it would not make people feel bored, he did not show the slightest lack of calmness, and the composure of the chief general was also infecting the sergeants under him, although he was still waiting, but after being affected by Liu Yi's calmness, the commanders at all levels also calmly commanded their subordinate departments, standing by in place, and there was no change.

The vigilant personnel change a group every once in a while, and except for the vigilant personnel, everyone else dismounts to rest and conserve their physical strength.

In the distance, a few horsemen galloped over, and ran to the hiding place in the midst of the vigilant Tang army soldiers full of bows and arrows.

"General, according to what we have discovered, the Turks have really hit the plan and hijacked our grain cart, and they are coming in this direction, and it is estimated that they will arrive here in about half an hour!" A scout sent out ran in front of Liu Yi, flew off his horse, and reported in a low voice.

Then several more scouts returned, reporting similar information, as well as the approximate location of the Turks.

"Pass my orders and get ready for action!" Liu Yi held his monocular, checked the surrounding situation for a while, and ordered.

With Liu Yi's order, everyone got up from the resting place, got on their horses, held their weapons, and waited for Liu Yi's order to attack.

Liu Yi also stepped on the war horse, and ran to a more suitable place for impact with his personal guards, ready to attack-

"Big brother, we have run for almost a hundred miles, the Tang army can't catch up all of a sudden, it's Daqing Mountain in front of us, it will take half a day to turn over, brothers are also the way, stop and rest, eat something!" Ashide said to his brother Ashide Yuanhao.

They drove these 300 or so grain trucks to run dozens of miles at the fastest speed, most of the people were already hungry and thirsty, in front of them was Daqing Mountain, and there was a stream flowing near the foot of the mountain, which was a place where they could rest their feet and replenish food and drink.

"Okay, let the brothers go to the front stream to rest for a while, replenish food, and take down the things on the Tang Army's grain truck, I want to see what the Tang Army sent this time!" Ashed Yuanhao agreed to Ashde's request, he himself was hungry, plus the horses and cattle and horses pulling the cart had been running for so long, they really needed to rest, and it was impossible for the Tang army to chase so quickly, even if they were chasing, they would have time to run into the valley and resist according to the danger.

The grain cart stopped, and some of the thirsty Turkic soldiers jumped off their horses and ran to the stream, where they took up the clear water and drank it, and drank the cold water, which made them feel extremely refreshed.

Some people have already taken their hands to unpack the contents of the grain cart there, ready to take down the layer of forage placed on it, and take the grain below to fill their stomachs.

At this time, an unexpected situation appeared, and suddenly, the grain cart parked there moved, and many Tang soldiers armed with knives and crossbows lifted the forage covered with them, rushed out, and opened fire on the unsuspecting Turks.

Zhang Qianmiao's action order assigned to his subordinates before the battle was that when the Turks stopped, it was when they attacked, and Zhang Qianmiao's only thought at this time was to lead his men to kill the enemy bravely, he didn't know where the support team led by Liu Yi was, and now he could only rely on his own men and horses to cut down and kill the Turks in front.

The Turks, caught off guard, were in chaos, and the Turks, who had thrown down their weapons and were about to get food, were cut down to the ground in large numbers.

The Ashide Yuanhao brothers, who were getting off the horse and preparing to eat on the river water by the stream, were also stunned by such a sudden situation, they never expected that this time the Tang army's grain truck was loaded with not only grain and grass, but also a large number of sergeants, and these prepared sergeants were frantically slashing and killing their people.

In a panic, the Ashid Yuanhao brothers also immediately got on their horses and commanded the chaotic clansmen to take up arms to resist the surprise attack of the Tang army.

Along the way, they were not discovered by the Turks, and now the raid was successful, and many Turks were cut to the ground, which made Zhang Qianqiao and others very excited, and they were also desperate to swing their knives and slash, or use the crossbows in their hands to shoot the Turks who did not pose a threat to them for the time being.

They must also react to the Turks and kill most of the Turks before they get back on their horses, otherwise it will be difficult for them, the soldiers without horses, to annihilate the more than 2,000 Turks who are all cavalry.

And at this moment, to the astonishment of both sides, a large group of cavalry, out of nowhere, rushed towards the place where they were engaged.

It was the more than 1,000 sergeants led by Liu Yi who rushed over.

Liu Yi was in the telescope, and he saw the scene of the Turks coming with a grain cart from afar, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle.

The Turks stopped in the valley, which was somewhat unexpected to Liu Yi, and also surprised him, the Turks got off their horses, and their combat power must have been greatly reduced, which also created very good conditions for our army to completely annihilate the Turks, not to mention that Zhang Qianmiao's troops had already fought with the Turks.

The sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers, rushed to the place where the Turks had stopped in a forest of swords.

The fierce battle between Zhang Qianmiao's troops and the Turks was in the heat of the day, and a large number of unsuspecting Turks were cut down by our soldiers, and many Turks were getting on their horses and preparing to resist.

"Brothers, follow me and kill! Kill all the Turks on their horses first," Liu Yi shouted again, and at great speed, he broke out of the queue behind him, and rushed towards the place where the Turks were in desperate pursuit of the group of guards behind.

Liu Yi rode fast to chase the wind, and suddenly rushed in front of a young man on a horse who looked like a Turkic leader. In the panic of the other party, Liu Yi raised his gun and stabbed, the Turkic leader waved the scimitar in his hand to block, the short scimitar could not resist Liu Yi's extremely flexible spear attack, Liu Yi in the third move of marksmanship, the spear in his hand had already pierced the throat of the young Turk.

When Liu Yi picked the young Turkic leader off his horse, another Turkic man dressed like a head man let out a strange scream, and his face was full of misery, and he rode a horse and waved the scimitar in his hand.

Liu Yi met again, the spear in his hand stabbed at the Turkic leader who was a little crazy, a stabbing pick, stabbing the Turk's wrist, the scimitar in the Turk's hand fell to the ground, and then Liu Yi stabbed straight again, and the spear penetrated through the Turk's thin armor and went straight into his heart.

The gun in Liu Yi's hand turned in a circle, and in the screams of the Turk, he pulled out the gun, and blood spurted out of the mouth of the Turk's heart like an arrow, and the Turk immediately fell to the ground, and after a few convulsions, he did not move.

It was the Ashide Yuanhao brothers who were stabbed to death by Liu Yi in the blink of an eye, and the Turks who lost their heads were even more chaotic, some of them got on their horses and tried to escape, but before they ran far, they were cut off their horses by the sergeants under Liu Yi and the soldiers led by Zhang Qianmiao.

Liu Yi's personal guards and other sergeants had already joined the battle group, and they were fighting with the Turks who were on or without horses, plus Zhang Qianqiao's troops on foot, the Turks who were inferior in numbers basically had no ability to resist.

The shouts of the Tang army, as well as the screams of the Turks, came and went, and a bloody slaughter was underway...
