Chapter Seventy-Three: This Zhaowu Hu is so ruthless

At this time, the Western Turkic Yehu Khan smashed his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach. He secretly swore in his heart that as long as he had the opportunity, he would definitely go to Jieli Khan for revenge.

In fact, this time he raided Liangzhou because he was bewitched by Jieli Khan. At that time, Jielihe Khan painted a very wonderful prospect, he led 300,000 Eastern Turkic cavalry in Dingxiang to wait for the Tang Dynasty.

Once at this time, the Western Turkic army approached. The Li Tang court will definitely negotiate peace with the Tongye Hu Khan, and when the time comes, the Tongye Hu Khan will be able to open his mouth and ask Li Tang for the silk that is smoother than the virgin skin, the porcelain that is more valuable than gold, and the tea, ironware, and even the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty.

These exhausted Western Turkic cavalry were chased by thousands of cavalry of the Zhaowu Nine Divisions and were about to vomit blood, these Zhaowu Nine Cavalry, still far away, picked up their bows and arrows and shot, as if hunting, shooting the Western Turks who were running for their lives to the ground, and when the distance was a little closer, they rushed up, picked up their sabers, and roared past.

The combat effectiveness of the Zhaowu Nine tribes is actually not strong, and when they encounter a real strong enemy, they will immediately be cowardly, but once they encounter an opponent who can be bullied, they will become fierce tigers. These thousands of cavalry of the Zhaowu Nine Divisions launched a group charge, and with only a few thousand men and horses, they actually raised a hurricane, as if thousands of troops were roaring.

Whether it is the Western Turks' control of the strings or their most elite detachment warriors, it is a dead end. His terrible whistling sound made the Western Turks' hairs stand on end, their hearts and galls were torn, and they were knocked over layer by layer.

The terrifying Snap Cavalry Hook and Sickle Cavalry was gone, but these cavalry of the Zhaowu Nine Divisions formed a terrifying torrent in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Ashina Ni was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he screamed wildly: "No matter how down-and-out this Ye Hu is, he is also a tiger on the ground, and it is not their turn to bully this group of earth dogs, fight with them!" ”

The attached soldiers were frightened by the hook and sickle lancers of the Xiao cavalry, where did they dare to let Ye Hu Ashina come forward desperately, they all stepped forward and persuaded: "Ye Hu, no, retreat quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

Ashina Ni Yu roared out almost every word: "For the glory of the Ashina family, for the sake of the blue wolf god, you cowards, cowards, don't you open your eyes and take a look, those mongrels in the nine divisions of Zhaowu, Ben Ye Hu can beat a hundred of them alone, if you don't plant, Ben Ye protects himself!" ”

Rushing to the front was Cao Dan, the leader of the Cao tribe, one of the nine divisions of Zhaowu, in fact, his name was Cao Erdan. But most people call him Cao Dan. The Zhaowu Nine Divisions are the closest to the Turks, and they are also the most bullied tribes by the Turks, as long as the adult men in the tribe have to fight with the Turks, when they fight, they naturally rush to the front, but the rewards are not their share. Unless the Turks are happy and throw a few bones at them so that they do not starve to death.

This is not the most infuriating, the most infuriating is still Jinshan Qijin Ashina Kuge, this thing is simply a beast, he likes to eat people the most. And it's the kind of baby that has just been born less than a year old. Ashina Kuge usually washes the baby less than one year old, puts it in an oil pan and deep-fries it, deepens the baby until it is golden and delicate, and then sprinkles cumin and salt.

At least hundreds of babies in the entire Cao Department have become Ashina Kuge's belly meal, and one of them is Cao Dan's eldest grandson. This Ashina Kuge is the eldest son of Ashina Ni.

As the so-called enemies were red-eyed when they met, and when they saw that it was Ashina, Cao Dan's eyes were about to crack, and he shouted: "Revenge!" ”

"Revenge!" Under the leadership of Cao Dan, the cavalry of the Nine Divisions of Zhongzhaowu rushed towards Ashina Ni like a tiger descending from the mountain. The sabers flew up and down, the arrows rained in the air, and the Western Turkic army, which had completely lost its fighting spirit, was not something that Ashina could rely on alone to turn around.

However, the detachment army is indeed the elite of the Western Turkic cavalry, and Cao Dan's subordinates failed to disperse the detachment army at one time, but were killed and wounded thousands of subordinates.

This is no longer Caobe's loss, but a broken muscle. But Cao Dan, who was eager for revenge, didn't care about it at all, like a mad tiger, and continued to attack.

When the Shina Ni was about to kill Cao Dan's department, a torrent of black currents appeared at the end of the earth, and the war horses raised their legs neatly and landed neatly, like a straight line, as this straight line slowly thickened, the attached soldiers screamed: "That undead knight is here again!" ”

At this time, Chen Ying didn't know that the hook and sickle lancers of the Xiao cavalry under his command had already obtained a nickname "Undead Knight" from the enemy. In fact, the Turks did not exaggerate by all, because these hooked and sickle lancers were not afraid of arrows, and even if they were knocked down by arrows, they did not scream, they were silent all the time, and only when Chen Ying shouted slogans, they would speak.

This silent silence put great pressure on the Western Turks.

Ashina Ni saw that the black and purple battle flag was getting closer and closer, and turned his horse's head under the escort of his own guards, heading towards the west.

At this time, the leaders of the nine tribes of Zhaowu advanced one after another to meet Chen Ying. Although Chen Ying was very tired on horseback, he was very happy. The leaders of the nine Zhaowu tribes were led by Cao Dan, Muris, Shi Ba and others in the order of defection.

"I'm waiting to meet the general of the kingdom!"

In fact, the Zhaowu Nine Department did not have a good impression of Chen Ying of Abe, but at this time, Chen Ying did not want to destroy the original plan, Chen Ying looked at everyone and nodded slowly.

Cao Dan originally thought that the general who led this fierce and vicious army should be a general who was over half a hundred years old, and at the worst, he should be a middle-aged general who was already in his old age, but he didn't expect that he was actually a fair-skinned and beautiful young man, and when it came to being young, it seemed that he was not a few years older than his son.

Chen Ying nodded and said: "You have done a very good job in terms of practice, Tong Ye Hu is now defeated, and he will pursue it with all his might, so he must not return!" ”

Cao Dan raised his arms and shouted: "General Chen of the Shangguo Kingdom has an order, pursue it with all his might, and let Tongye protect the horses and horses from returning!" ”

Chen Ying said with a smile: "General Ben ordered that anyone with a Western Turk rank can exchange five buckets of rice, or a knife, or a piece of property of the same value to General Ben. The army is worth one stone of rice, or ten sheep, and one horse. Its Turkic nobles, such as Teller, Tong Jin, and Tong Li, paid rewards of 100,000, 50,000, and 1 million. The protector of the leaf will be rewarded with hundreds of horses and tens of millions of dollars! ”

With Chen Ying's order, not only the Zhaowu Nine Divisions defected, but even the other Turkic vassal tribes that originally had no objection also hesitated, because in the case of the defeat of Tongye Hu, they could not be left alone, either killing the Turks to change the life path of the clan or rewarding money, or becoming a reward for others.

At this moment, Li Daozong, the governor of Liangzhou, finally caught up with Chen Ying with dozens of hundreds of cavalry, he looked at Chen Ying's posture and planned to wipe out the Tongye Protector, and stepped forward to persuade: "General Chen, sister-in-law, don't stop returning to the teacher, the Tongye Protector Khan is also a hero of the Western Regions, if he is dying, he will fight back." With a bite back, we also have to face heavy losses. It's better to take it when it is good, gather an upright army, and then attack it and drive them through Shazhou. Moreover, after the war, reconstruction is the first priority, and now all counties in Liangzhou have been sacked by the Turks, and the city is still good, but there is no one in ten villages and towns outside the city......

Li Daozong's opinion cannot be said to be wrong, but can only be said to be too conservative.

Chen Ying's plan did not repel this statement. He lined up the ambush of the Modao Army, as if he wanted to block the 200,000 army of Tong Yehu in the alluvial plain of Liangzhou.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Manager Li doesn't need to worry, the issue of post-war reconstruction will be arranged later, and the counterattack you are worried about is actually not a problem." Do you really think that General Ben only led this mere 10,000 cavalry to attack the 200,000 army of Tongye Hu Khan? ”

Li Daozong naturally knew that the defense focus of the Li Tang court was now in Hedong and Guanzhong, and he had no time to take care of Liangzhou. Listening to Chen Ying's meaning, it doesn't seem to be like that. He asked suspiciously, "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not! With 10,000 to 200,000, even this great general would not dare to drag it so big! Chen Ying smiled and said: "I'm not afraid to scare you, this time the general led an army of 100,000 (even if there are only 50,000, including more than 30,000 new troops), and the other armies except for the 30,000 foot cavalry that came later, the other departments have already arrived where they should be. ”

Now Liangzhou's losses are too great, and he is simply unable to defend Liangzhou's military affairs. When he heard Chen Ying say that there were still 100,000 troops, Li Daozong stopped talking.

has been rubbed in Liangzhou City for more than two months, and it is absolutely impossible to say that Li Daozong is not angry in his heart.

Shi Ba, who was originally gathered around Chen Ying's Zhaowu Nine Division, originally did not want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but he was forced by the form and had no choice but to surrender. Now when he heard that Chen Ying still had an army of 100,000, the loyalty to Tong Ye Hu in his head had already flown out of the clouds.

The 10,000-strong army has only half a life left in the battle of Tongye Hu, and if there are another 100,000, I am afraid that there will be no Western Turkic Khanate in the world.

Cao Dan was even happier, believing that his decision was the right one. At this time, he tried to say cautiously: "General Chen, if you have 100,000 troops in hand, it is better to go west to find the Da Ge Luo Ling Pass and block all the Western Turks to the east of the Green Ridge!" ”

Li Daozong was shocked in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "This Zhaowu Hu is so ruthless!" ”

When he came to Liangzhou, it was impossible for Li Daozong not to study the Western Regions. In fact, the three roads of the Green Ridge Mountains run through the east and west, the upper and lower Shule, and the Glo Ridge Valley. However, the Upper and Lower Shule are seasonal routes that run from east to west, and can be passed during the six months from April to October every year, and the mountain will be closed by heavy snow from October until the next four years when the snow and ice melt.

The only place that is really not controlled by the seasons is the gathering place of the Qarlu tribe, the Qalore Ridge Valley, because of the large number of hot springs in the Gellu Ridge Valley, even when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, this valley that runs through the east and west for more than 170 miles can be unimpeded.

However, having said that, Liangzhou is more than 7,000 miles away from Geluoling, and the thousand-mile expedition is already the limit, and the farthest journey of Datang is only 3,000 miles now. Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "General Chen, we are so empty internally, if we go on another dangerous expedition, I am afraid that something will go wrong internally!" This must not be done! ”
