Man Tanghong

Chapter 508 Attack and Kill!

"kill!"

We waited all night in Baiyangping, and the cold wind blew all night. The next morning, the Turkic envoy arrived.

After Li Yuanji sent people to do a careful reconnaissance, he led Ma Sanbao and 200 people under Ma Sanbao's hands to kill without hesitation.

There are more than 350 Turkic envoys, well-equipped with armor and excellent horses, and their combat effectiveness is impressive.

In terms of numbers, Li Yuanji was completely at a disadvantage, but Li Yuanji led his troops and killed them without hesitation.

Facing the sudden attack, the Turkic missions only panicked for a moment before regaining their composure.

The leader was a Turkic Teller. After a rough glance at the attire of Li Yuanji and his party, he smiled cheerfully, "It's a horse thief from the Tang Dynasty!"

Horse thieves are at the middle and lower levels of the food chain in Western Turks and the entire Western Regions, while in East Turks they are completely at the bottom of the food chain.

So after Turkic Teller saw that Li Yuanji and his party were horse thieves, he didn't get scared, nor did he get scared, but a little bit excited.

After hearing Teller's shout and seeing the attire of Li Yuanji and his party, the other Turks relaxed their vigilance and laughed.

When it comes to burning, killing, looting, and looting houses, they are experts.

Horse thieves are just low-end goods in their eyes.

If it weren't for them as envoys, they had to follow certain rules of envoys, they would have started looting all over the Tang Dynasty. From their point of view, every place in the Tang Dynasty is full of wealth. Many slaves, many grains, many gold and silver jewels can be plundered.

However, the rules of missions bound them, and they could only watch all this slip away from them.

Now someone has taken the initiative to deliver more than 200 good horses to the door. Finally, they no longer have to be constrained by the rules of missions, and can let go of their hands and feet.

Teller, the leader, flicked the scimitar in his hand, and shouted excitedly at the others, "I'm the winner, and you share the rest!"

The Turkic people waved the scimitars in their hands, screaming excitedly.

The value of more than 200 good horses is very high. As long as they take these good horses, they can quickly realize them in Xiaoguan, which is the closest to here, and then buy a lot of goods they need in Ganzhou outside Xiaoguan, and then transport them Will go to their tribe, in exchange for more good horses or cattle and sheep.

This is nothing to the distinguished Teller, but to them, it is a huge gain, and it is also a wealth delivered to their door. How could they not scream excitedly.

"kill!"

When Li Yuanji and his party were about to rush down the gentle slope, Teller, who was the leader, urged his horses to meet him.

The reason why he chose to take the initiative to meet the enemy was to end the battle as soon as possible.

The reason why he chose the leading horse among Li Yuanji's group was because there was a knight in full armor sitting on the leading horse's horse, and it was also the only knight in armor among the horse bandits.

Whether armor was in the Tang Dynasty or in the Turks, it was a very precious thing.

Especially like full armor, the value is even more expensive.

Although Teller has his own full armor, it does not prevent him from obtaining another set, rewarding his confidantes, and rewarding people he is optimistic about.

It's a pity that he had a good idea, but he chose the wrong person.

"Pfft..."

When the horses are charging, they are very fast, and the hand-to-hand combat is almost an instant.

It was at this moment that Turkic Teller realized that Li Yuanji and his group had extraordinary identities and were not ordinary horse thieves.

It was at this moment that Turkic Teller realized that he seemed to have chosen the wrong person.

Unfortunately, he has no room for regret.

Because at this moment, a very ordinary horizontal knife swept across his neck, and his head rolled down his shoulder like a polo.

"Not a single one!"

After Li Yuanji killed the leader of the Turkic envoy with a knife, he quickly killed the Turkic cavalry who followed him with a knife, and then gave Ma Sanbao and other people cold orders.

Ma Sanbao had already entered the battlefield, so he didn't have so many thoughts in his mind.

Even if he thinks that Li Yuanji's actions are wrong and will bring great disaster to Datang, he will carry out every order of Li Yuanji.

This is the fighting quality developed by long-term service in the army.

On the battlefield, there is no right or wrong, only victory or defeat, only life and death, nothing else can be tolerated.

So after he heard Li Yuanji's order, he became more aggressive, and so did the others.

"Huhuhu..."

Like a gust of wind, Li Yuanji and his people blew past the Turkic mission. There were more than 40 empty war horses on the Turkic mission.

"Teller is dead?!"

"The thief is not an ordinary horse thief, he is invincible, quickly flee in the direction of Xiaoguan!"

"..."

After just one charge, everyone in the Turkic envoy understood the gap between themselves and Li Yuanji and his party.

The leading Quanjia people are really too cruel, and they are basically the ones who kill them with one sword, and never make a second sword.

Among more than 40 people, eight of them were hacked to death by him.

Although the fighting power of the others is strong, they are not invincible.

If there is no leading full-armor, they still have the confidence to fight.

With the leader Quanjia people around, they can't win at all.

As a group of people who grew up on horseback, a group of experts in horse warfare, they know better than anyone what a winning horse means to a cavalry team.

So after they came to the conclusion that they were invincible, they frantically fled in the direction of Xiao Guan.

Right now, only Tang Jun in Xiao Guanzhong can save them.

Although they were not from the Tang Dynasty, they were envoys. Before they left the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the troops of the Tang Dynasty had the nominal responsibility to take care of them.

"Brush brush..."

Sharpened wooden spears whizzed across the air, and the Turkic people fell to the ground like dumplings.

The Turkic people began to flee, and began to flee frantically, from fleeing together at the beginning to fleeing scattered at the end.

Li Yuanji led his men to chase for more than ten miles, and killed the last man with a stone before reining in his horse and stopping.

"Breathe... breathe..."

Panting heavily, Ma Sanbao chased after Li Yuanji and reported, "Your Highness, everyone has been killed!"

Li Yuanji rode his horse and strolled to the side of the Turkic man whom he had stoned to death. After beheading the man with a knife, he ordered: "Send someone to see if there are any survivors. If there are any, I will kill them."

Ma Sanbao nodded heavily, and ordered people to silence him.

Li Yuanji said again: "How many people have we lost?"

Ma Sanbao said in a deep voice: "24 people died and more than 80 were injured..."

There are no immortals in war, even if you do mental calculations or unintentional raids, you will die, so it is normal to have injuries.

Especially in this kind of raid with fewer hits and more long-distance pursuit, damage is more likely to occur.

"Let our people, bring the dead, clean up the battlefield, and return the same way!"

Li Yuanji let out a foul breath and ordered again.

Ma Sanbao hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to bury the brothers who died in battle on the spot?"

Li Yuanji frowned and said, "If the Turkic envoys are destroyed, my father will definitely send people to investigate and bury them here. It will be easy to be found and dug out."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji glanced at Ma Sanbao and said, "You don't want them to die in the wild, do you?"

When the people of the imperial court investigate the case, in order to trace the evidence, they naturally don't mind digging the grave and insulting the corpse, but you expect them to bury it after the digging and investigation, that's impossible.

Because without relevant preferential treatment documents, they would not give preferential treatment to a group of sinners who broke the diplomatic rules of the Tang Dynasty and violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

"I understand, I will give orders now."

It's not that Ma Sanbao didn't understand the truth, but he didn't know whether Li Yuanji wanted others to find out about him or didn't want others to find out about him, so he asked this question.

Most importantly, local burial is a fine tradition developed by soldiers and horses of all dynasties in the process of marching and fighting.

The main reason for doing this is to avoid wasting troops to transport corpses, and also to avoid plagues.

In the case that there is not enough time to bury it on the spot, it will even be burned by fire.

Although the ancients paid attention to the tradition that the body, hair and skin should be taken care of by their parents, and that they should not be insulted, they also paid attention to the tradition of returning fallen leaves to their roots, but compared with the plague, these are nothing.

After a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe, and many times this catastrophe is about war.

Therefore, in terms of war and epidemic prevention, the work of the ancients was quite rigorous.

"The people who told us that for everything seized this time, the brothers who died in battle will get [-]%, the brothers who were injured will get [-]%, and the remaining brothers will get [-]%.

After I go back, I have another reward. "

Li Yuanji added another sentence when Ma Sanbao was going down to deliver the order.

Ma Sanbao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, on behalf of the brothers."

Li Yuanji shook his head and said, "You're welcome, it should be."

Those who died in battle died because they helped him with private affairs, not for the Tang court, nor did they sacrifice their lives for the inheritance of Chinese culture and the defense of China's inherent territory, so he gave more wounds , more compensation should be given.

In this regard, the people of Datang did not speak much of reason or morality, but they did.

"Your Highness, everything has been packed according to your instructions, can we go back?"

An hour later, when everything was settled, Ma Sanbao rushed to Li Yuanji to ask for instructions.

Li Yuanji was sitting on a tree stump drinking, when he heard Ma Sanbao's words, he raised his head and asked, "Is there any twists and turns?"

Ma Sanbao clasped his hands and said, "Two caravans passed by during this period, but were frightened away by someone sent by the minister."

These days, there is almost no one, or three or two people traveling together in the barren mountains and mountains. The court team, as well as various teams such as envoys.
