Chapter 77: Dry Food

Ashye thinks about it, isn't it? Isn't that how they treated the Central Plains Dynasty? If you're in a bad mood, go in and loot, and when you're in a good mood, I'll call you brothers, and I'll get a little more gift from you.

But if you want to hit me, unless you kill me, then there is waiting for me to take revenge.

"Please also ask Miss Mingyue to give advice." Ashye said in a rare manner.

"It's difficult, we don't have a deep foundation like Datang, no matter how many times we rob, we are just fighting on the border of Datang, and we can't hurt their foundation at all, if Datang comes to his senses, he will have the strength to kill us at any time."

"But we can't, because we can't defend ourselves against the incomparably nimble cavalry." Mingyue shook her head slightly.

"Miss Mingyue, you just said that Datang can kill us at any time if he comes over? Then our previous attitude towards Datang ......" Ashye didn't care about Mingyue's judgment of Huo Gang, but heard the latter sentence.

Because his attitude towards Datang was not very good before, and he was not sent to Datang to plunder, in his opinion, Datang is the real powerful enemy.

"Indeed, if Datang recovers, he will have the strength to kill us at any time, but the only thing to be thankful for is that this Western Regions is like our natural barrier, even if they fight, it is impossible to fight too far, and Datang is too big, and there are many enemies around it, these countries will not let him be too easy, last year Jie Li led the cavalry to break into Chang'an City less than 100 miles! These are all enemies of Datang. Mingyue smiled.

At that time, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had to urgently form an alliance with Jieli and Tuli, but don't forget, this is an absolute shame for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who dared to do something to his brother and father and snatch the throne! Therefore, as long as the other party stabilizes the country, the first ones to clean up are Jieli and Tuli, so you don't have to worry too much. Mingyue sneered.

"Okay." Ashye took a deep breath, "Then Huo Gang is here, what should we do?" ”

"Chief, gather the army." Mingyue paused, and then spoke.

"But we don't know where each other is?" Ashye said with a wry smile.

"It's better than the other party, but we haven't gathered the army yet, and, leader, if you go on the expedition, I don't know if you can take me, I want to meet this Huo Gang." Mingyue raised her head and looked at Ashye and asked seriously.

"Miss Mingyue, you ......" Ashye was stunned for a moment, he wanted to say something, but seeing the firmness in Mingyue's eyes, he finally nodded and said: "Okay, then Mingyue girl, you go and prepare, I will immediately ask people to gather the army, before Mingyue girl, you told me, let Loulan, Yiwu, Gaochang, Yanqi and other countries send troops together, Loulan has refused, Gaochang and Yanqi have not replied, but Yiwu has already sent an army, only a hundred people." ”

"Well, there's no way now, the other party is coming too fast, leader, remember, let the Igo country raise their army flags." Mingyue nodded seriously and said.

"I see." Ashye nodded.

……

Huo Gang and their brigade of cavalry naturally would not have such a fast speed, because they had limited time to travel every day, and they had to ensure the mobility and combat effectiveness of their cavalry, so Huo Gang and their horses would stop and rest after advancing a certain distance, so that Gongsun Lin and their horses could replenish food and water, as well as recover their strength.

Therefore, they were still a certain distance from the position of Tongluobu, and Gongsun Lin sent more than a dozen reconnaissance troops in different directions to ensure that no matter where they were, they could find the enemy at the first time.

Although Huo Gang has the early warning ability of the Spirit of the Jade Gate, reconnaissance is necessary, because in the future, Gongsun Lin and they will all fight alone, and these habits are necessary as a commander.

On the fifth day after leaving Yangguan, Huo Gang and his team were already very close to the territory of Tongluobu, the surrounding grasslands had been connected, and the various tribes had become very dense.

Sure enough, because Lop Nur has not dried up, the grasslands around here are still abundant, but if nothing else, this state will not last for many years.

"General, there is a medium-sized tribe more than two miles in front of us, about five hundred people, please show the general." A scout came back to report.

"General, are we going to attack?" Gongsun Lin looked at Huo Gang and asked.

"How much do we have left?" Huo Gang thought about it and asked.

"In the case of dry food, there are about six or seven days' worth left." Gongsun Lin estimated it, although they said that they carried fifteen days of dry food, but this was an estimated number, they came out for five days, and they consumed about half.

"Let's go and get some food from them." Huo Gang had a strange smile on his face.

"Yes! I'm going to get them ready to attack now!" Gongsun Lin immediately bowed his hand.

"Wait." Huo Gang directly stopped Gongsun Lin, glanced at him with a smile and said, "Who said we were going to attack?" ”

"Huh?" Gongsun Lin looked at Huo Gang with some doubts.

"I said, let's go and get some dry food, let's go, order the troops to set off immediately, and surround the entire tribe as fast as possible, but you are not allowed to attack without my order!" Huo Gang said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, with Huo Gang's order, more than a thousand cavalry instantly entered a super-high-speed sprint state, heading straight for the location of the tribe in front.

The distance of more than a thousand meters was almost a blink of an eye for Huo Gang's mobility.

By the time their horses rushed over the hillside and saw the Turkic tribes in the distance, the Turkic tribes were already in turmoil.

It is difficult to sneak attack quietly with a large number of cavalry movements, and after a few hundred meters, the whole earth began to tremble slightly because of the resonance, and anyone with a little experience could judge the approximate number of cavalry by the sound of horses' hooves.

All the Turks of the entire Turkic tribe rushed into their tribe like crazy, and the cattle, sheep and horses scattered around the Turkic tribe did not care about tidying up.

When they rushed to a distance of about three or four hundred meters from the Turkic tribes, Gongsun Lin's Bai Ma Yi Cong was directly divided into two teams and directly surrounded the other tribe from both sides, while Huo Gang led Huo Zheng's personal guard cavalry to directly advance head-on.

The two white cavalry were like two white waves, quickly surrounding the entire Turkic tribe in an instant.

When Huo Gang was about a hundred meters away from the entire Turkic tribe, he reined in the reins of his horse and stopped himself.

In front of Huo Gang, about two hundred Turkic cavalry were nervously riding on horses and gathering together, the horses under their crotches were turning back and forth uneasily, and behind them, there were three or four hundred Turks who had not had time to get on their horses, and they were still holding bows and arrows, wooden spears, long knives, etc., nervously watching the situation here.
