Great Sui Dynasty

Needless to say, the bravery of the Turkic soldiers, although they were in a desperate situation, they were still forced to kill a bloody road. Aoshe led less than 4 remnants to escape, and most of the remaining nearly [-] horses died in battle, only a few thousand People were captured. After this battle, the Turkic soldiers and horses in Diaoyin, Yan'an and Shuofang were almost wiped out, and the remaining [-] remnants could not make a big wave.Needless to say, the benefits Li Shimin gained, there are [-] horses in good condition. Although he lost more than [-] soldiers for this, but with these [-] horses, he can form an army of [-] soldiers, which can at least withstand the battle on the plains. There are hundreds of thousands of troops.

However, although this part of the Turks has been eliminated, there are still [-] Turkic troops in the Weiwu, Pingliang and Honghua areas, led by Jieli himself. This troop is the most elite among the Turks, so the situation in Guanlong is still grim. The Turks still have the advantage, but Li Shimin's side has the advantage. This time the Turks are defeated, and it is estimated that the revenge will come violently!

When everyone's eyes were fixed on the land of the Sui Dynasty, they didn't know that a war was going on in the grassland at this time. Although it was a war, it was better to say it was a unilateral massacre.

Luo Yi led five thousand Youyun iron cavalry from Xibu into Turkic territory, and they were familiar with the road all the way.This is the second time he has led troops into Turkic territory, and the first time he has led three thousand riders into the grasslands to slaughter. Did not dare to go deep.But this time was different, after surrendering to Yang Hao, Yang Yichen gave her another two thousand horses to expand the size of the Youyun cavalry, and this time he took advantage of the emptiness of the Turkic territory, so he could drive straight in without any resistance.

Having said that, Jieli dared to attack the Sui Dynasty with all the troops of the country. This courage is not ordinary, and he is not afraid that the surrounding tribes will take the opportunity to carve up the territory of the Turks.This is a big gamble by Jieli. If he wins the Great Sui Jiangshan, he can get a piece of the pie. Even if the Turkic territory is occupied by other tribes during the period, he can take it back. Of course, if he loses, he will get nothing, but Jieli still has Never thought about losing.

"Be quick, the beasts on the grassland will smell the blood sooner or later!" Another small tribe was killed, and it was still slaughtered. Not only the soldiers under him, but even he felt a little numb.Along the way, I met a lot of tribes, big and small, all men, women and children, and all the cattle, sheep and horses were killed. Every time I supplied enough food, I left, although I didn’t want to stay in front of a pile of corpses. After a while, they didn't dare to set fire to it, because it would not be easy to be discovered, but fortunately, the prairie has no shortage of carnivorous animals such as wolves and eagles to help them deal with the aftermath.

"General! It's a pity to kill all these cattle and sheep!" The cattle, sheep and horses killed by them along the way were tens of thousands, which was a large amount of food. Before this, they didn't even dare to think that they could eat Meat, but now they eat meat all the time, and they are so tired of eating that they almost vomit when they see dried meat.

"Stop rambling, quickly collect clothes and make jerky. This general is also heartbroken, but we can't spare so many troops to drive these cattle and sheep back!" Luo Yi also felt it was a pity, but he couldn't tell whether the troops were strong or not. Said, and the Turks are invading the country, these cattle and sheep will not be able to drive back.

"Prepare more water, we are about to enter the desert!" Luo Yi ordered. Seeing that the grass is getting shorter and shorter, and the further north you go, the hotter the daytime, you can know that you are approaching the desert. He has never been to the Turkic Yag Tent. But I heard that to get to the Turkic Yazhang, they have to go through a vast desert, and the Turkic Yazhang is the purpose of their trip. Of course, they have to go through the strange desert first.And along the way, the soldiers were asked to collect the clothes of the Turkic men, on the one hand, to keep out the cold at night, and on the other hand, to prepare for emergencies.

Sure enough, after resting for a while, we continued to move forward and arrived at the edge of the desert. However, each of us brought a few water bags and did not worry about lack of water, so we entered the desert without hesitation.At the beginning, there were still large and small stones on the ground, and there were a lot of weeds on the ground, but the stones became smaller as they went deeper, until they were completely replaced by sand grains.The desert is extremely hot during the day, but it is very cold at night. The 5000 men and horses in full iron armor are even less resistant to the cold. Fortunately, they have collected enough clothes to keep out the cold.The moonlight pouring down on the sand is extremely bright, and there is no need to light a torch to see the road ahead.

The 5000 people never stopped, and decided to get out of this ghost place day and night.Five thousand black shadows are slowly swimming in the sea of ​​panic like a black dragon.

Gradually, the wind began to blow, and the sky was full of dust, which brought unknown obstacles to the progress of these 5000 people.

"General, let's take a break. The wind and sand are too strong. Not only the soldiers, but even the horses can't open their eyes. Many brothers have fallen a few times." They couldn't open their eyes, so a school captain came to ask Luo Yi for instructions.

"No! Anything can happen in this ghostly place. I heard from merchants who traveled back and forth from the Turks and the Sui Dynasty that the night in the desert is full of dangers. Many caravans will never leave after entering. Even those experienced caravans are like this. What's more about us? Ask all the soldiers to cover the horse's nose with a cloth and move on!" It's not that Luo Yi is too careful, but that the desert at night is too dangerous.It's just that there is a danger ahead that he doesn't know.

"Hey, what's moving in front of you?!" Someone saw a black shadow like a hill moving slowly in the distance, feeling very strange.Luo Yi also noticed it, and the wind seemed to be getting stronger.

"Not good! Could it be..." At this time, Luo Yi seemed to recall the word "Black Whirlwind" that the unknown merchant said, that is, desert storms, which were called Black Whirlwinds because they mostly occurred at night.Thinking of this word, Luo Yi smiled wryly in his heart, this is too bad, isn't it just one time that he has to give such a big gift?

"Quick! Dodge to the right! Don't walk around, try to stay together!" Seeing the sand dunes slowly approaching, Luo Yi decisively ordered to avoid.

Before Luo Yi and the others got out of the range of movement of the sand dunes, the desert storm affected them. The wind was strong, and the sand particles brought up by the wind hit them like a rain of arrows. Fortunately, there were leather clothes on the outside and armor on the inside. Otherwise, you don't know what kind of pain it will be if you hit the body, just look at the wail of the war horse.The soldiers felt sorry for the horses, and surrounded the horses one after another, using their bodies to block the wind and sand for the horses!

After about an hour, the raging sandstorm finally passed, every soldier's feet were deeply sunk in the sand, and half of the lying horse's body was also buried in the sand.

"Count the number of people!" Luo Yi ordered to immediately count the number of people. He couldn't open his eyes just now and didn't know if anyone was blown away by the wind.After counting, more than a hundred people are missing. It is estimated that they were either buried or separated. It is impossible to be blown away. If the people are missing, it is okay to say that even the horses are gone now. I think they should be separated. Yes, one hour is enough for them to go far!

Luo Yi didn't ask the troops to stay longer, because he wasn't sure if there would be another storm like this later, and the most important thing was to get out as soon as possible. As for the separated people, I hope they can seek their own blessings.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and the heat was unbearably hot. Many soldiers took off their armor one after another, but they were sunburned after a while, and the water they brought was not enough for the horses and people to drink together. In less than a day, the water was exhausted. .Another night was forcibly endured. Fortunately, there was no storm, but it was still difficult because of insufficient water.

"Oasis! Look! It's an oasis!" Suddenly someone saw the green grass not far away, and there were faint fluctuations in the lake, and they cheered.But when they chased them, there was nothing. After running for a long time, they became more thirsty, and the oasis was still not far away.

Seeing this scene, Luo Yi finally remembered the "ghost town" that the merchant had mentioned. In the desert, you would often see oases or cities, but you just couldn't reach them. Luo Yi knew that what they encountered was the same!But if Yang Hao is here, he must know that the real oasis is not far away!

"Another one~" Looking at another oasis in front of him, all the soldiers had no strength to rush over, and after chasing a few, they all left with hope, and in the end they were only full of disappointment.

"That's true!" Luo Yi yelled, clearly smelling the long-lost green grass, and the horse seemed to be neighing even more impatiently!

This time everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts, and finally came out of this ghostly place, and everyone breathed fresh air wantonly.After finding another place to fetch water, replenishing the water and resting a little, the 5000 people continued to move forward. Now that they have walked out of the desert, the Turkic tooth tent must not be far away.

"General, the Turkic Yazhang is not far ahead!" The dispatched scout came back and said excitedly, "However, there are probably tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding the Turkic Yazhang. We are afraid..." The soldier hesitated to speak, But Luo Yi knew what he wanted to express.The combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses that can defend the Turkic tooth tent must be higher than that of the Turkic cavalry outside the city of Zhuojun, so it is not difficult for them to attack and escape with 5000 troops, but it is very difficult to capture the tooth tent. .

"It doesn't matter, so what about the tens of thousands of cavalry? This has long been expected by the general. Do you know why the general asked you to collect the clothes of Turkic men? In addition to keeping out the cold, you can also pretend to be Turkic cavalry at critical moments!" Luo Luo Art said his plan.Hearing what Luo Yi said, all the officers and men's eyes lit up, and it was possible to fish in troubled waters.

Luo Yi ordered all the soldiers to wear Turkic costumes, but although the clothes were changed, the headdresses were still Han Chinese hairstyles. Only a small number of people were covered by Turkic hats, and helmets must not be worn.

Luo Yi looked at the situation in front of him, rolled his eyes, and suddenly had an idea.Then he opened his mouth and said, "The Turks killed my folks, captured my compatriots, and trampled on my territory in the Sui Dynasty. What do you think?!"

"Revenge! Kill, kill, kill!" The purpose of this time is to take revenge, so there is no need to ask again.

"Okay! I'm going to ask you whether national hatred and family hatred are more important or personal safety is more important?!" Luo Yi continued to ask.

"National feud!" 5000 people answered in unison.

"Okay, now that everyone understands, we will take the Turkic tooth tent in a few days! But you also know that there are tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers guarding the Turkic tooth tent. I know that my son from Youzhou is not afraid of death, but we die How can we face our compatriots if we don’t have the Turkic tooth tent? We will definitely be discovered if we go this way. Only when we dress up like the Turkic people can we successfully mix in, so everyone’s hair has to be cut off. I I know that body, hair, and skin are the responsibility of parents, but compared to the benefit of the country and the people, what is such a small sacrifice if you are not afraid of throwing your head and blood?" Luo Yi pulled out his long sword, took off his helmet, and Cut off his own hair.

Seeing Luo Yi's actions, all the soldiers were moved, but they only hesitated for a while, and then followed Luo Yi's example and cut off their long hair. After cutting off the hair, it can grow again, but there is only one chance.However, they still put their hair into their arms carefully, not letting a single hair of their own stay in this strange place.

"You, and you each led 1000 troops to detour around the left and right wings of the Turkic Yazhang. I would have brought 3 troops to enter from the middle. After I had captured the Turkic Khan Banner, you would attack from both ends. We will kill him seven times together." In and seven out!" Luo Yi decisively issued an order.

"Yes!" The two ginseng generals took orders and left with their own people.

Sure enough, after Luo Yi led his men to the Turkic tent, some patrolling cavalry came out. Fortunately, some of his troops could speak Turkic, and they used the excuse that they were late due to the long distance when they received the order from the Great Khan to assemble here. Fortunately, the patrolling cavalry told them to camp around the tooth tent, perhaps because they were few in number and seemed to pose no threat to the tooth tent guarded by tens of thousands of people.

Luo Yi passed by the tooth tent all the way, while looking at the deployment of troops around the tooth tent, he saw that the Turkic camp was set up casually, without any rules at all, it seemed that it was time.

"Do it!" Luo Yi pulled off the Turkic costume on his body, revealing the shiny black armor, took out the helmet from the sack, put it on, and rushed towards the Turkic Khan flag.

"Kill!" 3000 people followed Luo Yi to kill together!

"Enemy attack!!" The Turkic tooth tent was in chaos at this moment, and a melee was staged. This was the most difficult moment of killing!
