Chapter 138: A New Kind of Warfare

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Old Man Zhao wouldn't have believed the scene in front of him at all, and only after a stick of incense had passed, the fire in one tribe gradually dimmed, and the cattle and sheep on the grassland in the distance scattered and fled, Li Xiang didn't have the kung fu to care about them and ran to the next tribe.

"Reluctant?"

Li Xiang saw that Old Man Zhao turned back step by step, except for the gold and silver in the tribe, the rest of the things were not wanted at all, you must know that other things are also very valuable, especially the cattle on the hillside in the distance, there are thousands of heads, if you pull them back, this is not a small number, this is our trophies.

"Your Highness, didn't you say it before? Our military budget is insufficient, and we will need an hour at most to enpen all those animals, and if we pull them all back, how much will we have to sell? ”

Old man Zhao knows that he is a little petty, but the Zhichong Mansion in the border area is poor, and he usually can't even eat, but now he is finally rich once, and he doesn't want those things when he is the boss, what do you say Go all out to go to the next tribe, we have a grudge against money?

"What we give up now will be able to be taken back a hundred times and a thousand times in the future, are these things still good things in Tuyuhun? Even if they all scatter and run away, in the end, they will go to other Tuyuhun tribes, we must be fast today, and if we advance steadily to the south in the future, the good things in any tribe will not be able to run, just let them raise them for us for the time being, and we will be able to get them back sooner or later. ”

Li Xiang has nothing to worry about, the grassland of Tuyuhun is so big, no matter where these cattle and sheep go, they will eventually converge into the camps of various tribes, if we don't defeat Tuyuhun this time, we will definitely not give up, so no matter where they run, it is just Tuyuhun's people who raise it for us, and this will be the pasture of the empire in the future.

"Then the gang that surrendered just now should be kept, if we transport them back, even if we don't sell them, Your Highness can pull them back to the capital and let them farm for you, these are all slaves belonging to Your Highness."

Old man Zhao thought of the more than 100 people killed in the end, these people were all young and strong laborers, killing them could certainly deter the grassland, and also reduce the war potential of Tuyuhun, but wouldn't it be better to keep it for us to farm? As long as you have something to eat, you can work all day more than 300 days a year.

"Millions of people on the Tuyuhun steppe, will there be a shortage of slaves in the future? To kill them now is to use their blood to announce to everyone that our Datang is different from before, and the victory we want in the war is also different from before, if they dare to resist, this is their fate. ”

After Li Xiang's words were finished, Old Man Zhao looked confused, and it was really a little difficult for people like Old Man Zhao to understand what Li Xiang was thinking, but as the war deepened, it was estimated that Old Man Zhao would slowly become clear.

In addition to spreading the atmosphere of terror, what Li Xiang wants is speed, the war just now may have someone run out, once these people go around to report the news, then there will be less and less time left for us, the remaining two tribes are not small, and they are dozens of miles away, we must speed up the time, if this tribe is cleaned up, then it is estimated that the day will be bright, and the task will not be completed overnight.

Sure enough, as Li Xiang thought, when they arrived at the second tribe, the people here had already begun to rectify, compared with the first tribe, there was no drinking that night, and now more than 300 cavalry have rushed out, fortunately, we came relatively quickly, if we delay for half an hour, more than 600 cavalry in the tribe can be rectified, then we are in greater danger.

"Javelinmen."

Li Xiang made a gesture, Huo Quzhi immediately understood what was going on, our cavalry is less and they are charging head-on, not that we are afraid of them, but in this case, we have to adopt newer tactics The war has just begun, and we only have more than 3,000 people, we must preserve our strength, otherwise we will not be able to hold out at all.

More than a hundred javelinmen immediately appeared in the procession, and in addition to the original spears, a porcelain bottle was tied to the back of the spear, all of which were filled with lamp oil.

When these javelinmen finished throwing, General Li Guang's rocketeers also began, their task was not to shoot the soldiers charging from a distance, but to shoot the burning arrows into the lamp oil scattered on the ground, only a large area was needed, and there was no need to shoot too accurately.

"These Tang soldiers are simply fools, when we didn't rush over just now, they threw javelins at us, and now they want to set us on fire, don't you know that it just rained heavily yesterday? I saw how you could set it on fire in this vibrant grassland, and the brethren rushed at me and went up and chopped them up. ”

The tribal leaders of Tuyuhun laughed, if the Tang army fought like this, they thought that victory was already in their favor.

Hundreds of cavalry instantly rushed into the range of lamp oil, although the horse's hooves trampled also made some of the lamp oil volatilize into the air, and they also smelled some different smells, but at this moment, the charging speed of the war horses had risen, so they didn't have time to care about this strange smell, even if there were, they had to take care of it after the battle.

It's burning......

Indeed, as he said, it had just rained heavily, and even if a lot of lamp oil was scattered, it was still difficult for the fire to burn, but lamp oil was lamp oil after all, and when their number reached a certain level, the belated fire came.

No matter how fast the speed of the war horse gallops, you can't exceed the speed of the flame, especially since many war horses are also splashed with lamp oil, so no matter where the war horse runs, there is no way to run out of the range of the flame, and because the fast running of the war horse also expands the range of the flame burning a lot, so that the soldiers who have nothing to do also fall into the fire.

Old man Sun slapped his head helplessly, His Royal Highness is really a loser in a war, these are all good war horses, each of them must be more than three hundred and fifty yuan, and hundreds of war horses will be burned in an instant.

Li Xiang laughed at the moment, are we losers?

Each soldier who was killed, according to their different birth ability, will add different points to Li Xiang, including the war horse, will be returned to Li Xiang in the form of points, we have not lost a dime......
