Datang Longya

Chapter 550
This night was destined to be a sleepless night. The prairie people were busy arranging their things and fleeing, and the flames were chasing after them. They only had time to mount their horses and escape, and the rest of them could only watch the fire engulf their scattered tents.

But they are still fortunate. Tang Jun seems to have been affected by the fire, and the granary was burned. They should not chase them.

It turns out they were wrong.

It's just that early the next morning, the Tang army finished sorting out, and the horses stepped on the ashes to pursue Tuli Tushi's army.

Su Dingfang confidently divided the army into two halves. One half gathered all the gunpowder weapons to pursue Tuli Tushi's army, and the other half carried the most common weapons to attack the various tribes of the Tuli Tushi family.

The army is only one aspect. If they want to occupy this land, they also need to drive their herdsmen out of the country.

The Western Turks are different from the Eastern Turks. The family imprints of the Western Turks are so deep that the Tang Dynasty dared not recruit the herdsmen of the Western Turks.

"As long as the land, no herdsman captives."

This is a sentence Li Shimin specially emphasized before the army set off.

On the galloping horse, Su Dingfang said to Leng Feng vigorously: "Duke Xi, now Tuli Tushi's army is fleeing westward, do you think we can annihilate them all?"

Leng Feng shook his head: "Impossible. After they go west and enter the original land of Western Turks, they will get help from other families. Then you dare to start a war against the entire Western Turks?"

Ashina Ayi once mentioned to Leng Feng the covenant signed by their ancestors. The two Tushi Tuli families went to war with Datang. They could not help them, but if Datang pursued them, they had to dispatch troops. help.

Messy covenant
If you want to take military merits from the army of the Tuli Tushi family, you can only do so before they enter the territory of Western Turks.

The cold grass ash gradually became warmer, and Leng Feng knew that they were already very close to the line of fire.

Sure enough, the horse continued to run for less than a stick of incense, and everyone saw the flames on the skyline ahead.

When the grassland is on fire, it is just a line of fire at first, and then it will become a large area of ​​flames. People and animals staying inside will definitely die of suffocation.

Therefore, the grassland army could only continue to run with their backs against the flames. They could not even find a roundabout way, and could only be chased by the flames.

Reining in the reins, Su Dingfang couldn't help covering his mouth and nose with a cloth towel, and as he got closer to the flame, he could smell a disgusting smell of burning animal feces.

The pastures of the grasslands are not all land, but more places are horse manure and sheep manure.

"It can't go any further, let's just follow the line of fire and make sure the flames don't go out, make sure they don't turn back."

Niu Jinda nodded: "We can't continue chasing, besides, our horses are easy to lose control when we get close."

Leng Feng took a look through the binoculars, and in the binoculars he could even see the Tuli Tushi army running on their horses.

They were chased by the fire, and they could only stop for a rest after running a long distance.

If they could prepare the fire ditch as early as Tang Jun, they wouldn't be so troublesome.

Looking at the endless black soil all around, Leng Feng suddenly felt a little guilty.

This time I really played a little big, this set the fire!
Tang Jin was also a little startled. At first, he just wanted to burn the grass eaten by the opposite horse, but he forgot that it is easy to start a fire and difficult to put it out.Now the fire is set, but no one knows when it will be extinguished.

"Sir, you... have you guessed the scene now? Then why are you doing it?"

Leng Feng smiled helplessly: "This is actually a good way. What we want is land, not herdsmen, not even cattle and sheep. After the fire is over, there will be no herdsmen grazing on this grassland before next summer. gone."

Wild fire, in spring.

This is grass. This fire only temporarily turns the grassland into scorched earth. As long as the first rain next year passes, the grassland can still be revived.

However, at least until summer, this grassland cannot be grazing.

How can the prairie people who live by grazing come back?What's the use of them fighting back this land?

Leng Feng decides to set up a camp here, and even takes people north to meet Liu Yuan. Tuli Tushi is always determined to take the land back, but it won't work.

The chase lasted for three full days, and after three days, the flames were extinguished.

The western Turkic herdsmen who discovered the grassland was on fire long ago dug fire ditches, successfully blocked the flames and kept their grassland.

When Leng Feng and the others caught up with the extremely exhausted Tuli Tushi army, they also saw the well-equipped armies of various Western Turkic families.

Among the leaders in the front row are acquaintances - Ashina Helu, Ashina Ayi.

After not seeing him for several years, the last greenness on Ashina Helu's face has faded, and he has become the most common strong man on the grassland.

Ashina Ayi didn't change much, wearing white fox fur, she looked very eye-catching among a group of tall and thick old men and old men.

"It's been a few years since we left, so the Lord of the Kingdom of Xi will come back safe and sound?"

Su Dingfang glanced at Leng Feng, and decided to give Leng Feng the chance to speak.

Leng Feng drove the horse forward a few steps, and said, "It's been a blink of an eye, but Princess Ashina will be fine?"

Ashina Ayi smiled, especially touching.

"Duke Xi is so aggressive this time, he actually chased the troops of the Tushi Tuli family here. I wonder if you plan to continue chasing them?"

Looking at the army of at least [-] in front of him, Leng Feng shook his head helplessly: "I won't chase anymore, with your protection, how can we chase? Let's bid farewell.

By the way, that piece of land belongs to our Tang Dynasty now. Although we don't plan to use it for the time being, we don't mind launching a war against you as long as Tushi Tuli intends to get involved again! "

"Arrogance! Believe it or not, we will destroy your army now!"

Looking at the arrogant Ashina Helu, Leng Feng, Su Dingfang and Niu Jinda looked at each other, and then they all laughed.

Ashina Ayi stopped Ashina Helu from continuing.

Leng Feng and the others must believe it, but so what if it can be wiped out?After the battle, how many people will be lost here?
Ashina Ayi has seen the gunpowder weapons of the Tang army, and she even used them. The army in front of her is only more than 2 people, but they are all fully equipped.

If they were eliminated, the casualties here would be at least twice their number.

How to fight this battle?
"Gong Gong, we will not get involved in the dispute over that piece of land, and we cannot represent the two Tushituli families. I just want to ask you on behalf of the entire Turkic family. You plan to send the herdsmen of these two families How about it?"

The army was sent to the original Western Turkic side, and the herdsmen of the two families had nothing to rely on. The Tang army had 5 people, but now there are only more than 2. It is obvious what the other 2 people are doing.
