I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 56 Urgent report from Mobei, has something happened to Li Zheng?

"You said that Li Zheng led three thousand light cavalry to break through the Turkic barrier. He suffered only three to four hundred casualties, and he also killed and captured more than six thousand Turks?"

"This Li Zheng...is he a born god of war?"

"Boy, you didn't lie about the results of the battle, did you?"

"You know, even if the governor leads 10,000 elite troops, it will be extremely difficult to break through the barrier and kill and capture 6,000 Turks."

Wei Xiaojie had been dealing with Turks for many years and knew the fighting power of Turkic soldiers. He was shocked and a little unbelievable.

"Captain, what the general said is true. I dare not hide anything."

"Also, please, Commander-in-Chief, allocate some food to us soldiers who are left behind."

"When we entered the desert, General Li asked each of our soldiers to bring only half a month's worth of dry food and water. Now we have to guard more than 3,000 prisoners. Although there is still some food left in this Turkic fortress, we still have supplies. More than three thousand prisoners are far from enough.”

"The current food reserve can only provide us and the prisoners with food rations for two or three days. I am worried about this!"

Liu Jie pointed to the Turkic prisoners at the corner of the barrier and said.

"Quickly go distribute some food."

"Now that these prisoners have surrendered, they will be my subjects of the Tang Dynasty from now on. We cannot watch them starve to death and must treat them equally."

Wei Xiaojie said to the deputy general beside him.

"Yes!"

The deputy general immediately agreed and rode towards the rear army.

"After Li Zheng led the vanguard to break through the Turkic barrier, he directly led his army deep into the desert to pursue it without repairing here?"

Wei Xiaojie couldn't help but ask Liu Jie, the commander of the vanguard army in front of him.

"To capture the Turkic barrier and defeat the Turks, General Li only allowed the soldiers to rest for two hours, eat some dry food and replenish water, and then continued the pursuit with his soldiers."

Liu Jie bowed and replied.

"After such a fierce battle, Li Zheng only allowed the soldiers to rest for two hours before pursuing them non-stop. Aren't you afraid that the soldiers would be hurt?"

After receiving the order from the general manager Li Jing to mobilize 10,000 troops to assist Li Zheng, Wei did not dare to delay at all on the road to Xiaojie. He traveled all the way and chased at the fastest speed, for fear that Li Zheng would fall into the Turkic siege and end up with the entire army destroyed.

Unexpectedly, at this speed, it was still two days late.

How fast the cavalry led by Li Zheng must be!
  During this period, they also broke through the Turkic barriers and killed and captured more than 6,000 Turks.

Wei Xiaojie sat on his horse and looked at the vast desert, sighing for a while.

"Captain, you are overly worried. The officers and soldiers of our vanguard army are like this in every battle under the leadership of General Li. The officers and soldiers are full of momentum. They are all thinking about making contributions to the country. If the general's arm is not injured, they would also like to follow the general. Kill the Turkic Khan and then achieve military exploits."

Liu Jie said with an annoyed look.

Hear this.

Wei Xiaojie was filled with emotion again.

Although the vanguard army after his reorganization was said to be ten thousand people, half of the veterans who had been injured or killed before were replaced by new soldiers who had not experienced battles, so their combat effectiveness was much lower than that of Su Dingfang's period.

Unexpectedly, after Li Zheng became the vanguard general, in his hands, the strength of the vanguard army increased instead of falling. Its strength exploded, and its combat effectiveness left other legions far behind.

Every soldier in the vanguard army seemed to be possessed by a demon, fearless of death. Even the new recruits showed no fear when they appeared on the battlefield for the first time. They only wanted to kill the enemy, serve the country and make contributions.

"I really can't understand how this Li Zheng trained such a tiger and wolf master."

Wei Xiaojie looked at the distance in the desert and sighed secretly.

now.

His mood was extremely complicated. He originally brought 10,000 troops to rescue Li Zheng, but then he wanted to criticize Li Zheng for acting too recklessly, disobeying orders, acting alone, and violating battlefield discipline.

But now!

Li Zheng led his troops directly into the desert of Mobei, killed the enemy and captured 6,000 Turks, and now he led his troops to continue the pursuit.

According to the speed at which Li Zheng leads his army, if he wants to catch up with Li Zheng, he may have to wait until Li Zheng's squadron arrives.

Now, Manager Li Jing's words to ask him to teach Li Zheng a lesson were no longer useful.

"General, what should we do now? Should we continue to send reinforcements?"

"At the speed of General Li's pursuit, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up for a while!"

"The last general feels that General Li doesn't seem to need our reinforcements at all!" A general behind Wei Xiaojie said with emotion.

"Perhaps Li Zheng, with less than three thousand elite cavalry, can really achieve results. If he can capture or kill the Turkic Khan alive, he will have made an immortal contribution to the Tang Dynasty. The entire Tang court will be There’s going to be an earthquake!”

Wei Xiaojie thought to himself after hearing this.

"Report the results of this battle to General Manager Li as soon as possible."

"Arrange some people to transport the injured soldiers of the vanguard battalion and the Turkic prisoners back to the rear base."

"The army will recuperate for an hour and continue to reach the depths of the desert to meet the vanguard army."

Wei Xiaojie ordered the generals around him.

"Yes!"

All the generals responded in unison.

"Li Zheng!"

"I would like to see what kind of results you can achieve."

"If you can really capture Yugu Changdu and achieve unparalleled achievements, then I, Wei Xiaojie, will really obey you!"

Wei Xiaojie looked into the distance and thought to himself.

……

Turkic royal court.

The Duke of Wei, Li Jing, was handling military affairs in the commander's tent.

Now that the Northern Expedition has begun, Jieli Khan has been captured, and the main Turkic force has been wiped out. The new Khan wants to conquer the capital, and fled into the Mobei desert with his family, princes, ministers, and some remnants.

The Turks in the north have almost been wiped out, and now they are just waiting to see if Li Zheng can lead three thousand fine cavalry to capture and kill the Turk Khan Yugu Changdu.

Then you can take charge and return to the court.

This Northern Expedition can be described as a complete victory and unexpectedly smooth.

What surprised him even more was that he discovered that there was a genius like Li Zheng in the Tang army.

Datang has hope for the future.

Li Jing held the military documents, but couldn't read a single word. He was thinking about what happened to this guy Li Zheng.

"Report!"

"The Governor of the Guard has sent an urgent report."

A guard with bright armor quickly ran into the commander's camp and knelt down on one knee to report.

"Bring it up."

Li Jing put down the military documents, his expression changed slightly, and he said sternly.

"It seems like something happened to Li Zheng."

"With only three thousand light cavalry, you dare to go deep into the Mobei desert and chase Yugu Changdu. You are too courageous!"

"It's a pity that a peerless general has just appeared in our Tang Dynasty."

"Is it possible that Hou Huo Qubing, the champion during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had such a short life?"

Li Jing felt sad in his heart.

When the urgent report came back from Wei Xiaojie, something big must have happened. In Li Jing's opinion, the only possibility was that something happened to the three thousand vanguard troops led by Li Zheng.

Otherwise, with Wei Xiaojie's calm character, he would not be so anxious to send back the urgent report.

The personal guard stood up, came to the case, and presented Wei Xiaojie's urgent report to Li Jing.

Li Jing's hands trembled a little as he rarely did, and he opened the emergency report and read it.

next moment.

The expression of Duke Wei Li Jing immediately became as exciting as he wanted.
