Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 525 Meeting in a narrow road

Late spring, dusk.

The prairie looked calm, and the setting sun in the distance looked beautiful.

Xue Wanche did not expect that watching the sunset on the grassland would be more beautiful than watching the sunset in other places.

The wind brings warmth.

Opposite Xue Wanche, there was a team of about a thousand soldiers, and this Turkic army was full of hostility.

The leader glanced at Xue Wanche, and his eyes immediately turned red.

"You Tang Jun are so hateful that you actually attacked the innocent people of our Turkic people."

The man yelled angrily, but Xue Wanche laughed: "My Tang army is hateful? You Turks led 20 troops to attack my Tang Dynasty when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was enthroned. I don't know how many people were killed in my Tang Dynasty. It was you!" Shameless first, my Tang Dynasty is nothing more than an eye for an eye."

Being exposed by Xue Wanche, the man immediately became angry from embarrassment, and without saying a word, with a wave of his big hand, the soldiers and horses behind him rushed towards Xue Wanche directly.

Facing the angry Turkic soldiers and horses, Xue Wanche had no fear at all.

"Soldiers, let's have a real duel, kill!"

With a shout, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty came bravely.

In the past few days, they have been attacking the Turkic people. To be honest, they have never done this kind of thing before, and they feel very aggrieved. Now they finally met a group of real soldiers, and they want to vent their aggrievedness. Come out so they kill like crazy.

Only killing Turkic soldiers is an honor to them. What is it to kill common people?
Killing people is just being forced to do nothing.

Turkic people were killed, and these Turkic soldiers were filled with righteous indignation and murderous intent. In their view, they had such murderous intent, and it should not be difficult to destroy this Tang army of more than a thousand people.

But after they really fought, they realized that the Tang army was not as easy to deal with as they imagined, and this Tang army that attacked ordinary people was also killing like crazy.

kill, kill.

When the evening wind blew, the smell of blood began to pervade the grassland, and one after another soldiers fell down, including those from the Tang Dynasty and some from the Turks.

When the sun set, the surroundings were soon surrounded by darkness.

Turkic soldiers and horses have night blindness, so when night fell, they did not dare to continue entanglement, and quickly retreated, only waiting for tomorrow to fight Tang Jun again.

The Turkic soldiers retreated, and Xue Wanche immediately began to count the number of people.

"General, there are only seven hundred soldiers left."

In this battle, their casualties were about the same. If the fight continued tomorrow, the casualties would continue, and he was worried that other Turkic tribes would rush over after hearing the news.

Although he really wanted to fight, Xue Wanche was not a reckless man, and he did not forget their purpose of coming to the grassland.

They wanted to massacre the Turkic people so that they would be so weak that they would be unable to fight in the Tang Dynasty. They wanted to force the Turks to retreat instead of just being buried on the grassland.

Some of the Tang troops brought here are already dead, and they may be buried here forever.

Xue Wanche took one last look at the corpses of those soldiers, and immediately ordered without hesitation, "Let's go!"

Seven hundred soldiers and horses followed Xue Wanche, but while staying away from the Turkic soldiers and horses, they searched for other people on the grassland overnight.

It was very late at night, and some herdsmen gathered all the tents together, entered their respective tents and dreamed.

This is a group of about [-] herdsmen. There were only [-] in the past. Later, I met a companion. Because I was worried about Tang Jun, I partnered.

In addition, they also selected a dozen people to patrol every night.

A bonfire was still burning outside the tent. Several herdsmen sat together and chatted without saying a word.

And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes all around, and the herdsmen jumped up.

"No, Tang Jun is here..."

Just as he was talking, Xue Wanche led Tang Jun and rushed in.

"kill!"

With Xue Wanche's roar, Tang Jun charged forward without hesitation. Of the four hundred herdsmen, only a hundred or so were strong, and most of the others were old and weak women and children.

Moreover, in the dark night, they are even more defenseless, showing their weakness.

The killing lasted for an hour. After an hour, there were many corpses scattered around the tent, and their cattle and sheep had been scattered. Xue Wanche ordered people to bring their food and set off again to find the next prey.

At dawn, the wind on the grassland was very warm, the sun was shining, and the killings from last night were still obvious.

The grass was stained red with blood, and several wild wolves were gnawing on human bones, their howling was very sad.

A Turkic army finally arrived here at Sishi and discovered the tragedy here.

"Damn, Tang Jun is hateful, don't let me meet you again, or I will tear you to pieces."

The leading Turkic general was very angry, but at the same time, he also felt an unspeakable helplessness. Hundreds of Tang troops were raging on their grassland, but they couldn't deal with them.

hateful.

If it weren't for the 20 Turkic soldiers who went to attack Datang, these more than 1000 Tang troops would not survive three days on their grassland.

Anger was spreading, and immediately after, the crazy Turkic soldiers began to chase Xue Wanche's team on the grassland.

However, Xue Wanche was no longer ready to confront them head-on, and the grassland was so big, and the Turkic main force was not there, it was really not easy to really deal with them.

On the Turkic grasslands, a battle for the deer continued to be staged, and more and more Turkic people were killed.

Grief, grief.

At the same time, Lingzhou City is in another situation.

The envoys from the capital quickly arrived at Lingzhou City and handed Li Shimin's edict to Li Jing.

After Li Jing saw it, his expression suddenly changed.

"I really didn't expect that the Turks actually used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Tens of thousands of troops are here in Lingzhou to contain the main force of our Tang army, and he will bring a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to go straight to Datang."

"Damn... Damn..."

As Li Jing spoke, he soon felt that what Li Shimin had said in the edict was correct. If he wanted to force the Turkic troops back, Lingzhou had to win a battle. Let Jieli Khan know that if he insisted on attacking Chang'an, Then they will make the Turks no longer have soldiers to use.

Otherwise, if the Turks cannot be forced back and Chang'an begins to fight, then the prosperous Chang'an that the Tang Dynasty spent so many years building will probably be burned to the ground.

Many people must also be displaced.

Li Jing walked back and forth in the large tent in the army, and after a while, he immediately called all the generals over.

"Order the soldiers, get ready. Tonight, I will lead the troops to attack the camp and strike the Turks hard."

Ever since he led the troops to Lingzhou, Li Jing's soldiers and horses had never left the city to fight, but now for the safety of Chang'an, he had to leave the city.
