Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 660
The sand is flying wildly.

Among the Tang army, two cavalry outflanked the Turkic soldiers and horses from the left and right wings.

Meanwhile, the archers were still firing.

When the siege was really formed, the Tang army had already shot and killed half of the Turkic soldiers and horses.

The Turkic soldiers and horses, which had an absolute advantage, became weak at this time.

The wind was blowing, Mo Xia looked at those Tang Jun, and was a little furious, just because of Tang Jun's Zhuge Liannu, now they had an absolute advantage, and now they were completely at a disadvantage.

When it comes to melee combat, they are not weak.

But the round of shooting just now not only caused them to lose half of their soldiers, but also hit their morale, and their morale was low. It was hard to say if they wanted to win this battle.

However, the ink shrimp had no intention of running away.

He came here on orders, if he just escaped like this, he would really be unable to explain to Jieli Khan after returning.

"kill!"

With a roar, Mo Xia rushed over with Turkic soldiers, and the Tang family also killed them immediately without hesitation.

The two sides immediately fought a battle.

Soon, the desert was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

When the two armies fought, although the Tang army had an advantage in numbers, they were not stronger than the Turks in close combat, so at the beginning, the two sides were in a stalemate.

However, outside the battlefield, Datang's archers are still there.

They stood on the outside, holding the Zhuge Liannu, as long as they found an opportunity, they would shoot out immediately, and they would shoot accurately.

They are like the snipers of later generations, as long as they lock on the target, they can shoot and kill the enemy immediately.

There are about a hundred such sharp archers, that is to say, as long as they lock on to the target and launch, within a short while, hundreds of enemies will fall down.

One hundred people is not too much for the Turks, but the threat of the archers put a lot of pressure on these Turks, which made the Turkic soldiers, whose morale was already low, even more uneasy. will be myself.

shoot, shoot...

When the first Turkic soldier started to retreat and flee because he could not bear the pressure, more and more Turkic soldiers also began to flee, and then the entire Turkic camp collapsed.

When Mo Xia saw this, he was so angry that he slashed and killed a fleeing soldier, and shouted: "Come back, and those who retreat will die."

But when Mo Xia was yelling, four sharp arrows suddenly shot from all around, and the four sharp arrows were very fast. By the time Mo Xia noticed it, it was already too late.

He chopped off one arrow with his knife, but he couldn't dodge the other three sharp arrows.

There was a scream, Mo Xia fell off the horse with a plop, and at this moment, a Tang Jun took the opportunity to gallop away, killing Mo Xia with a single blow.

Seeing Mo Xia being killed, many Turkic soldiers fled without any intention of fighting. When Qin Wu saw this scene, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Kill!"

They had already surrounded the Turkic soldiers and horses, and it was not easy for the Turkic soldiers and horses to escape.

Kill, kill, kill!

The killing lasted for a long time, until the evening came and finally ended.

The sandstorm on the desert gradually stopped, corpses piled up like a mountain, and the smell of blood attracted more than a dozen wolves, who were waiting outside the battle, with greed in their eyes.

All the Turkic soldiers and horses were dealt with. Qin Wu glanced at the corpses on the ground, and without hesitation, he took the soldiers and horses and left directly.

They need to defend Datang's sovereignty on the Silk Road.
-
Turkic king city.

It's early February weather.

The grassland finally showed a piece of greenery.

This greenness made the people on the grassland start a busy year, and they will live with the grass again.

And at this moment, a fast horse entered the royal city, and a spy hurriedly came to the main hall.

"Your Majesty Khan, something serious has happened. The three thousand troops led by Mo Xia have been wiped out."

"The whole army is wiped out?" Jieli Khan suddenly stood up from his chair after hearing this word. He thought it would be the whole army of the Tang Dynasty, but how could it become the whole army of the Moxia? .

"How could this be?"

The spy's face was ugly, and he didn't know why it happened.

"Say, what's going on here?" Jieli Khan raised his tone, bursting with murderous aura.

The spy was sweating coldly on his forehead, and after a long time, he finally said: "Your Majesty Khan, most people were shot and killed by sharp arrows. According to the situation of the sharp arrows, there are at least two thousand archers in the Tang army. There are only 2000 of them, which is unreasonable."

What happened specifically, because no Turkic escaped back, so no one knew, and the spies were only guessing. Jieli Khan frowned, and the inner anxiety struck again.

He was not worried about the complete annihilation of Mo Xia and the others. He felt that their information might be wrong. The Tang army had more than two thousand soldiers, and everything was just a deception. What he was really worried about was that they would not be able to stop the Tang cavalry of construction.

If nothing else happened, the Datang caravan should have left the Silk Road by now and headed for Chang'an City.

After leaving the Silk Road, it will be too late to intercept them.

The wind on the grassland is getting softer and gentler, and an eagle is circling in the air, waiting to hunt its prey at any time.

Jieli Khan looked at the distant sky and suddenly fell into deep thought.

After a long, long time, Jieli Khan made a decision.

"Let our people form a caravan and go to Dawan to buy Ben Lei horses."

Hearing this, some people were very puzzled.

"Your Majesty Khan, the horses on our prairie are no worse than the Benlei horses in Dawan. Why go so far to buy horses?"

Turkic people are not good at doing business, so they have few people to do business, and they don't like running around very much.

"Datang doesn't have a lot of money. As long as we send people to buy Ben Leima, we can raise the price of Ben Leima. At that time, Datang's current economic strength cannot support it. , they will never even think about buying more Ben Lei horses."

Jieli Khan still has a certain degree of economic savvy. Now that Turks are rich, they can really disrupt the market of Benlema.

When everyone heard this, they somewhat understood.

"What His Majesty Khan said is very true, I will arrange it now."

A minister retreated. At this time, Jieli Khan continued: "I am afraid that a battle with Datang is inevitable. Now that Datang has a strong army, we can't be idle. We must recruit troops as soon as possible. Military training, once again, I will never let Datang be so lucky..."

The sense of urgency made Jieli Khan wake up again, and let them know that they Turks can no longer continue like this. If the enemy is stronger and they are not, then one day they will lose to Datang.
