Chapter 329 Killing Slaves

When the figure of the Turks appeared in the distant pass, Su Dingfang jumped on the horse and said loudly: "Brothers, when we came out, the dean said that this battle is not only our first battle of Baiqi Division, but also our graduation battle." .”

"If this battle is fought well, it means that we have met the requirements and can leave the army. From then on, we will be the most special army in my Tang Dynasty, Baiqi Division."

"If you don't fight well... I won't say anything if you get frustrated. You have all experienced the dean's methods, and you will know the consequences when you think about it."

"So tell me now, do you want to win this battle and win honor like a man, or do you want to go back and be cleaned up by the dean?"

"Wow..." None of the 200 people opened their mouths to speak, but they all raised the weapons in their hands to show their hearts.

"Okay, if that's the case, then follow me." After speaking, Su Dingfang waved his long knife and rushed out first, followed by two hundred riders.

……

"The commander-in-chief is the great hero bestowed upon us by Changsheng. Without him, our tribe might not exist after this war." A Turkic man wearing a sheepskin jacket and a nondescript piece of silk on the outside grinned. road.

"Yeah, the Tang people are not so easy to deal with. Big tribes like Ashina and Zhishi have a population of hundreds of thousands, and tens of thousands of people will not be injured. We only have 5000 people, and the number of warriors who can fight is only 1000 of us." There are many people, and one person can't afford to lose." Another Turkic man who was not much better than him said.

"Thanks to the wise commander, who took the initiative to ask Ying to protect the flanks from the main force of the Tang people. Not only did they not have to fight tough battles, but they also took the opportunity to grab slaves and food."

"With these grains and clothes, no one in our tribe will freeze to death and starve to death this winter. With these slaves, we will be able to graze more cattle and sheep next year, and these Tang women will give birth to more descendants for the tribe. We will become stronger in a few years." After the Turkic man finished speaking, he glanced at the looted women greedily.

"..."

A burly man in light armor with a machete in his hand had a smug expression on his face when he heard these flattering words.He is the commander-in-chief in these populations, Jijin Asina.

This time he was forced into the army by Xieli, and he has been stealing, raping and playing tricks. In order to avoid the main force of the Tang people, he reluctantly gave a bottle of liquor bought for two cows to Chief Wan, and was assigned to protect the flanks.

It is said to protect the flanks, but in fact it is soy sauce. As long as they are not too far away from the main force, they can move freely.This time he took advantage of the rest of the army to come out to fight Caogu.

It's just that the nearby Tangren villages either escaped, or were robbed several times by others and nothing was left.As soon as he gritted his teeth, he led his clansmen to rob villages and towns dozens of miles away.

Sure enough, the harvest was rich, enough food for the entire tribe for the winter was robbed in one go, and hundreds of women and hundreds of strong men were also arrested.

It can be said that as long as they return to the grassland smoothly, the strength of Jinbu will inevitably usher in an expansion.

As for whether he can return to the grassland smoothly...

Although Ji Jin Asina was a bit bold and greedy, he was very vigilant and did not underestimate Tang Ren.This journey is also a scouting and cavalry, to ensure that there is no big Tang army.

Before he knew it, he came to that pass again. As long as he passed through the endless plain in front of him, it would be even more difficult for the Tang people to ambush him.

And after passing here, it is not far from the large army. Even if there is an ambush by the Tang people, they can rely on the mobility of the cavalry to throw off the ambush and join the large army.The only pity is that the slaves and food that were finally grabbed can only be left behind.

He once heard a saying from the people of the Tang Dynasty called "a man who walks a hundred miles takes half ninety years", and thought it made sense, so he remembered it in his heart and took it as a life motto.

The meaning of this sentence is that the closer you are to success, the easier it is to be arrogant, let your guard down, and then fail.Hmm, that makes a lot of sense.Jijin Asina couldn't help being proud of his profound knowledge.

So how could a man like me who has grasped the truth make such a mistake.I must walk a hundred miles, and I cannot fall down at ninety miles.

Thinking of this, he shouted loudly: "There is a pass ahead, everyone, be careful of the ambush by the Tang people."

However, except for the elite around him who were trusted as confidantes, the others remained indifferent, as if they were on an outing.

Regarding this, he was not angry with Jin Asi's habitual look.Because only the No. [-] elite around him are the only real soldiers in Jinbu, and the others are just young herdsmen without any training.

This time they were forcibly conscripted by Jieli Khan, so he put down the shepherd's whip in his hand, picked up a rusty machete and came to the land of Datang. It is unrealistic to expect them to be like real warriors.

On the battlefield, the 1000 of them who can really fight are the one hundred and ten people around him.The rest will only pick heads against the wind and run for their lives against the wind.So Jijin Asina never counted on them at all.

"Dabol, take a few people to the pass to investigate and see if there are any ambushes." Ji Jin Asina said to a soldier beside him.

After Dabol took the order, he ordered five soldiers to go to the pass with him.

They were also cautious along the way, ready to retreat at any time.However, they didn't feel relieved until they checked the pass inside and out and found nothing abnormal.

At the same time, I couldn't help but despise Tang Jun in my heart, how stupid.

After receiving the safety news, Jijin Asina was finally relieved, and waved his hand to let everyone speed up to pass through the pass.

When the team passed halfway, his heart hung up again. Although he hadn't read the art of war, he also knew that now was the best time to attack.If it were him, he would also launch an attack at this time.

However, until they all passed, the imaginary ambush still did not appear.Now he was completely relieved.

I was too concerned, Khan's army was approaching Chang'an, the capital of the Tang people, the Tang army must have been dispatched to defend the capital, how could they come to ambush us.Just Jin Asina said in a self-deprecating way.

Then he forgot to reorganize the formation, so the team of more than 1000 people dragged on and became a long string.

When he finally recovered from his complacency and remembered to regroup, he suddenly heard a roar coming from a distance.

"The sound of cavalry running? Which tribe came here to fight grass?" Jijin Asina asked suspiciously.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, but there happened to be a forest covering his sight.When he was about to send someone to check, he found a group of familiar and unfamiliar figures suddenly appeared in front of him across the woods.

"Tang Ren, Tang Ren is coming. Quick, quick, quick, quickly set up your formation." Jijin Asina shouted in horror.

Others also noticed the abnormality, and ran to Jijin Asina in a panic.It's a pity that their team was too long before, and the personnel were too scattered, so there was no time to gather.

Moreover, the shortcomings of the untrained soldiers were also exposed... The herdsmen who picked up the scimitar were still herdsmen, and they gathered together in a panic. Not only did they not form a formation, but they blocked the elite centurions.

Ji Jin Asi was so angry that he almost fainted, but there was nothing he could do.

Those captured Tang people all showed excited and ecstatic expressions when they saw the rescuers.But no one was running around or screaming, and they all got under the car transporting the goods skillfully.

The Tang cavalry was very fast, and they came close in the blink of an eye.Throwing on the strongest side was a tall, burly man with a black face, waving a huge iron rod in his hand.

At the moment when the two armies came into battle, at least five Turkic people were blown away with sticks, and they could hardly survive.

The high-speed attacking Baiqisi plunged into the Turkic army formation like an arrow, and the Turkic people, whose formation was already chaotic, had little power to fight back.

Seeing that the line of defense was easily breached, the Tang people came towards him at an unabated speed, Ji Jin Asina's eyes were tearing apart, and he shouted: "Block them, stop them quickly..."

However, the panic-stricken soldiers ignored his cries at all, and only wanted to avoid the direction of Tang Jun's attack.Not only did you push and squeeze, you didn't avoid it, but you also broke up the elite centurion formation around Ji Jin Asina.

Seeing this, pain appeared in Jijin Asina's eyes.He knew it was over.

The pain was replaced by determination in the next moment, and he raised his scimitar and roared angrily: "Come on, damn Tangren, grandpa today..."

However, before he could finish his words, he saw a black shadow approaching, and he subconsciously raised the scimitar to resist... Then a huge force came, and the scimitar flew out of his hand as soon as his hand numb.

The black shadow continued unabated, hitting directly on top of his head.

At the last moment when he was most unconscious, the Tang proverb that he regarded as his life motto reappeared in Jijin Asina's mind: it really is the truth to travel a hundred miles.
