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

Chapter 72 The vanguard army returns triumphantly

time flies.

One day passed...

Three days have passed...

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed...

On this day, a Tang army returned to camp.

"The last general Wei Xiaojie, please see Mr. Li."

Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Lingzhou, led 10,000 troops and two commanders under Li Zheng, Wu Yuanlong and Chen Xiao, back to the Tang army camp.

"General Wei, please rise."

Li Jing stepped down from his position and personally stepped forward to help Wei Xiaojie up.

"Thank you, Chief Manager."

Wei Xiaojie stood up.

"General Wei, you have worked hard all the way deep into Mobei."

Li Jing patted Wei Xiaojie's shoulder and comforted him.

"The General Manager is overrated."

"This time we go deep into Mobei, and it won't be hard at all."

"From the beginning to the end, except for cleaning up some defeated soldiers who were killed by Li Zheng, the general did not encounter any Turkic troops at all."

"The last general failed to respond to Li Zheng and failed to live up to the expectations of the general manager."

Speaking of this, Wei Xiaojie looked a little helpless.

"What do you think General Wei said? You have no merit but hard work."

"I went hundreds of miles into the barren land. Although I couldn't reach Li Zheng, it was still a hard work."

Li Jing smiled and patted Wei Xiaojie on the shoulder without blaming him.

after all.

This time, Wei Xiaojie was asked to lead 10,000 troops deep into the vast and desolate desert. Finding Li Zheng was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Now, it is a blessing that Wei Xiaojie can return with his soldiers intact.

"Ten days have passed and Li Zheng has not returned with his troops."

"I don't know what's going on with him."

Li Jing looked at the vast desert in front of him, thinking about Li Zheng's possible military exploits, and his heart couldn't calm down.

but.

If Li Zheng doesn't come back, he won't be able to rest at ease.

Just as Li Jing was about to give the order, Wei Xiaojie led his troops back to the camp to rest.

A fast horse galloped from the vast desert.

From a distance, his face and body were covered in dust.

But there was urgency on his face.

Li Jing ordered his men to open the camp gate.

Tan Ma quickly rode straight to the high platform of the handsome tent.

"Report!"

Tan Ma dismounted and didn't have time to get to the high platform, so he knelt down on one knee and reported loudly.

"Ten miles away from our army camp, traces of General Li Zheng and the soldiers of the vanguard army led by him were found."

Hear this.

Li Jing, Zhang Gongjin, and Wei Xiaojie, who was about to leave, suddenly had expectant looks on their faces.

"Finally home."

"I have been chasing this kid in Mobei for a month. It's really heart-wrenching!"

Li Jing immediately beamed when he heard this. His long-awaited expectations were finally coming true.

"Yes!"

"Thinking of capturing Yugu Changdu and going deep into Mobei to pursue the remnants of the Turks. Such unparalleled achievements must have made the general manager anxious, and the general will also be worried."

"If this kid Li Zheng really accomplishes this feat, I can't imagine what kind of sensation it will cause."

Zhang Gongjin on the side also laughed happily.

"Whether he succeeded in capturing Yugu Changdu or not, just because he led my three thousand Qingqi to pursue Yugu Changdu thousands of miles deep in Mobei is an amazing feat."

"go!"

"Follow me out of the camp to welcome our great hero back safely."

Li Jing laughed loudly, then walked off the high platform and walked towards the entrance of the camp. Zhang Gongjin, Wei Xiaojie, and many generals all followed Li Jing towards the entrance of the camp with a sense of expectation.

If Li Zheng had really accomplished such a remarkable feat.

Then not only would Li Zheng be famous all over the world, but the entire Northern Expeditionary Army would be proud of it.

of course.

For the General Manager of the Northern Expeditionary Army, it will also add another highlight to his perfect resume.

so.

Every soldier of the Northern Expeditionary Army was full of expectations as to whether Li Zheng could achieve such unparalleled achievements.

Li Jing and his generals stood at the gate of the camp and waited.

Time passed as long as a stick of incense passed.

I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the distance, followed by flying dust, covering the sky and the sun.

As the sound of horse hooves approached, a Tang army wearing armor appeared in the dust.

This is the Pioneer Army of the Tang Dynasty. Although the soldiers are covered in thick dust, they are all in high spirits and their morale is high.

The leader, Li Zheng, was even more conspicuous, wearing unicorn armor and a black iron sword hanging from his waist, leading the way.

As the vanguard army approached, an invisible murderous aura surged toward the camp like a hurricane.

"In this battle of Mobei, the vanguard army completely transformed in the hands of Li Zheng."

Feeling the invisible murderous intent and intimidating momentum, Li Jing sighed in his heart.

at last.

Under the watchful eyes of all soldiers.

Li Zheng led two thousand soldiers under his command to the front of the Tang army's camp.

"This…"

"What kind of battle did this vanguard army go through?"

When Li Jing and his soldiers saw the figure of Li Zheng and the two thousand soldiers under his command, they were all shocked and their hearts were filled with excitement.

Look at Li Zheng.

The Qilin armor on his body has completely lost its pattern and color, and it is all covered with solidified blood. Even if it is solidified, the pungent smell of blood can be clearly smelled even from a distance of dozens of meters.

It’s not just Li Zheng.

The soldiers of the vanguard army behind Li Zheng were almost all the same.

The armor on their bodies was soaked in blood and turned into blood armor, and the war horses they drove were also stained with blood and turned into blood horses.

Just these soldiers standing here.

There is an invisible depression.

Even if he doesn't move, the overwhelming murderous aura and the strong smell of blood can frighten the enemy out of fear.

Looking at the bloody army in front of them, the soldiers inside and outside the Tang Army camp could even think of what kind of cruel and bloody battles Li Zheng and his soldiers had experienced in these days.

How many Turks were killed?

and.

When they took a closer look, Li Zheng and many other soldiers had bulging skin bags hanging on their waists, wrapped in blood, which were obviously human heads.

Looking at this formation, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army were speechless one by one.

"Last general Li Zheng, please see the chief steward."

When Li Zheng got off his horse and came to Li Jing, he bowed and saluted.

"Good good!"

Li Jing said three good words in a row, walked up to Li Zheng, patted Li Zheng on the shoulder, and looked at Li Jing's face with an unspeakable expression of excitement.

"Is this hanging around your waist..."

Li Jing glanced out of the corner of his eye and landed on Li Zheng's waist.

While Li Zheng was still on the horse, Li Jing's eyes fell on the leather bag hanging on his waist.

Seeing that it was a head, Li Jing's heart trembled with anticipation and anxiety.

Li Zheng did not reply, but directly took off Yugu Changdu's head from his waist and presented it to Li Jing.

After so many days, the head started to smell rancid.

But if you look carefully, you can see that there is some red powder sprinkled on it, which masks some rancid smell. In addition to masking the smell, these red powders also have an antiseptic effect.

This is a method used by the military to preserve military exploits. The red powder is specially made.

Li Jing had experienced too many lives and deaths, and he didn't pay any attention to the head in front of him. He took it casually, opened the skin bag, and looked at it for a while, with a look of shock on his face:

"It's really a Turkic Khan, Yugu Qamdo!"
