Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 867 Road Encounters
Autumn is cold.

Just when the mirrors in Chang'an City were all the rage, Bian Suwen was studying "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Ma Zhou finally entered the grassland with his soldiers and horses, as well as the grain and grass collected along the way.

In autumn, the grassland is already withered and yellow.

At this time, what Ma Zhou saw was also withered and yellow, but this kind of withered yellow was quite riddled with holes.

The land is cracked, and the pasture is the kind of withered yellow after drying, giving people the feeling of an old man in his dying years.

Originally, at this time of year, you might still be able to see some herdsmen grazing and rushing on the grassland, but now, these are basically invisible.

The rivers on the grassland are almost dry.

Devastated.

When Ma Zhou saw these places, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

No matter who lives in such a place, they will be forced to do some things that are not legal for survival, right?
"My lord, there is a Turkic rebel army ahead."

On the fourth day after Ma Zhou entered the grassland, when he saw the whole picture of the grassland, a guard rushed over and reported the surrounding situation to him.

There are many rebels on the grassland today, and they are constantly attacking and plundering.

And all they did was just to survive.

Hearing that the Turkic rebels were coming, Ma Zhou didn't show much panic, he just asked, "How many soldiers?"

"Not many, only a thousand people."

The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, so it's pretty good to have a team of about a thousand people.

Ma Zhou nodded, and said, "Okay, order to go down and get ready for battle."

Now that he met the Turkic rebels, it would be difficult to deal with this matter. Ma Zhou knew that he had to fight a battle. If he didn't fight, the next thing would not be easy.

The order was issued, and the three thousand Tang troops immediately began to prepare.

These three thousand Tang soldiers are all people who have experienced many wars. At this time, they are full of extraordinary momentum.

They are also full of murderous intent.

Tang Jun was waiting for the battle, Ma Zhou's eyes were slightly condensed.

He was actually a little nervous in his heart. To be honest, he was just a civil servant and had never fought a war before. Now that a war was going to happen, he didn't know what would happen next.

However, although his heart was tense, his expression was very calm.

After following Qin Tian for such a long time, he still knows a little bit about the battle situation, or the art of war.

He knew that he had to be calm and give confidence to the soldiers of the Tang army.

The Turks only had more than 1000 soldiers and horses. They dared to rush to kill him at this time. It was nothing more than seeing the materials behind him. If they wanted to take a risk and fight, they might be more nervous and afraid than themselves.

The autumn wind was raging on the grassland, blowing Ma Zhou's clothes and sleeves flying.

Not long after, Ma Zhou saw dust flying in the distance, and a Turkic cavalry rushed towards them like a madman.

They were very excited, shouting and screaming non-stop.

They need to use this method to cheer them up now.

There is no way, they only have a thousand or so people, and they are also afraid, if it is not for their survival, they would dare to rob the regular army of the Tang army.

Soon, the Turkic rebels rushed over, and the two sides confronted each other. The Turkic horse seemed very restless, walking back and forth non-stop, and the dust was still flying.

The leading man was tall and burly, with a hideous and ugly face, holding a big ring knife in his hand.

He looked up at Ma Zhou, and said with a chuckle: "If you are sensible, leave everything here, if not, I will let you die here today."

Looking at this man, Ma Zhou still looked very calm.

"I am the imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty for disaster relief. It is ridiculous to ask me to keep things. I will show you a clear way to surrender. I, Datang, will naturally ensure that you live. Otherwise, today, I will also Let's kill."

Ma Zhou's words were cold, and his voice echoed on the grassland, shaking Tang Jun behind him.

They need such momentum and boldness.

However, what Ma Zhou said made the Turks very angry.

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then don't blame us."

The leader of the Turkic rebel army shouted angrily, and then a thousand soldiers and horses came to kill Tang Jun.

And at this moment, someone in the Tang army immediately took out Zhuge Liannu.

"emission!"

The sharp arrows flew towards the Turkic soldiers and horses. As soon as the Turkic soldiers and horses rushed over, many people were shot and fell to the ground.

However, their speed was very fast, and it didn't take long for them to get close to Tang Jun.

"kill!"

At this moment, Ma Zhou shouted angrily, and immediately, Tang Jun rushed over with weapons in hand.

In comparison, the physical fitness of the Turks is better than that of the Tang army, but out of the [-] soldiers and horses of the Tang army, [-] of them are equipped with Tang knives, and [-] of them are the Modao team.

This is the elite of the elite in the Tang army.

In this way, facing the Turkic rebel army composed of only Turkic people a thousand years ago, it is not difficult for the three thousand elites of the Tang army to defeat them.

The battle started immediately. After Tang Jun rushed over, before the Turks could react, Tang Dao directly took their weapons and people, and split them in half.

Tang Dao rushed on the battlefield, and the Turkic rebels fell one after another. When the autumn wind returned, the smell of blood had already permeated.

Although the Turkic soldiers and horses are sturdy and have the obsession to survive, they are completely vulnerable to absolute strength.

Tang Jun kill, kill, kill.

And when Tang Dao was showing his prestige among the Turkic rebels, the Mo Dao team had already killed the Turkic leader.

Those Turkic rebels were already shocked by Tang Jun's Tang Dao after the war started, and they felt fear in their hearts. Now seeing such a team again, they suddenly remembered a legend circulating on the grassland.

"The Tang Modao team, wherever they pass, blood flows like rivers."

"Then... that's Datang's Modao Squad?" The Turkic rebels looked solemn, and the feeling of uneasiness suddenly became more and more intense.

And at this time, Datang's Modao team had already killed them.

"kill……"

With a shout, Mo Dao suddenly slashed, and when Mo Dao slashed, the front row of Turkic rebels was directly split in half, and among them, the previous disdain for Ma Zhou was also included. The leader of the Turkic rebels.

He never thought that he would be killed just like that, too fast, too fast.

His body became two halves, and the remaining Turkic rebels panicked and wanted to escape.

But on Ma Zhou's side, he was already prepared.

"Siege!"

With an order, the Tang army's formation began to change, and within a moment, they surrounded the remaining hundreds of Turkic rebels.

After these Turkic rebels were surrounded, their expressions became more and more tense, and they were a little bit regretful. Why did they not have eyes and come to plunder even though they knew that this was the regular army of Datang?
