Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　"You can come back after you are done with everything. If you enjoy the moon, we should last until the middle of the night." Lu Xiu said.

　　"That's naturally good. I will finish my work at the second hour of Hai Shi, and I will trouble my son-in-law to bring me here." Li Er said happily.

　　"Hehe, I will open the door in front of the queen's bedroom, you can just step over." Lu Xiu said.

　　…………

　　Yanmenguan, since the victory in Lingzhou, the Turks have settled down a lot.

　　Although there are often small groups of cavalry harassment, there is no major action.

　　During this period, Li Xiaogong used the ability of the Falcon Fruit to incarnate the Falcon to soar [-] meters above the grassland.

　　Although the Turks have sharp marksmen, they can have the ability to shoot golden eagles that can reach more than [-] meters.But at an altitude of [-] meters, with the range of the bow and arrow in the hands of the Turks, it is impossible to shoot that high.

　　Even if Li Xiaogong was shot, the powerful ability of the Eagle Falcon fruit would almost only scratch the skin.

　　Just imagine how serious it would be to be hit by a small bow and arrow for a huge eagle that spreads its wings about seven or eight meters.

　　With the flying speed of a hawk, it took him more than six days to finally detect the entire [-]-mile radius of Yanmen Pass.

　　The north is all prairie, and all the Turkic camps are presented in front of him without any concealment.

　　Every day, when Li Xiaogong came back, he would mark them where the Turks were on the map.

　　After investigating for several days, Li Xiaogong finally found the tooth tent of the Turkic Khan in Gongxiang, a thousand miles away from Yanmen Pass.  …

　　"Hmph, the Turkic Khan has set up his camp in Gongxiang."

　　Except for Jie Li Khan's tooth tent, other tribes are scattered all over the steppe, slowly moving eastward.

　　Judging from the direction of migration, they have gathered in the direction of Yanyun area.

　　"Brother Yao, since we understand the distribution of the Turkic troops, why didn't we take the initiative to attack and capture the Turkic Khan alive. Give me [-] troops, and I can attack at night to bring back the head of the Turkic Khan." Kim volunteered.

　　"Hehe, if you fight against the Turks, you can't do without me. Last year, I let them do good things in the Tang Dynasty. This year, I have to pay back." Yuchi said with a smile.

　　"Everyone, it's really time for us to fight back." Li Jing already knew the distribution of Turkic forces.

　　Sending troops to launch a surprise attack, and then having several marching commanders cooperate, Li Jing has seven or eight points of confidence and can directly take over their nest.

　　Li Jing's eyes glanced at all the generals in the camp.In the end, his eyes were fixed on Su Dingfang, who was the best candidate to raid the Turks.

　　"The last commander, please." Su Dingfang knelt down on one knee, his eyes full of fiery gazes.

　　Gongxiang is a thousand miles away from Yanmen Pass, and it takes at least two days.

　　In the case of a surprise attack, of course, he couldn't bring many people, so Li Jing considered sending [-] cavalry troops and split them into six troops.

　　Coupled with the cooperation of the military forces of the various marching generals, it is possible to wrap up "dumplings" and then close together to wipe out the [-] Turks heading south in one fell swoop. .

Chapter 148

　　Of the [-] soldiers stationed at Yanmen Pass, Li Jing divided [-] soldiers, and three generals, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchigong, led [-] soldiers to attack Xiangcheng in three routes.

　　Li Xiaogong, who has the ability to fly, acts as the eyes and ears of Su Dingfang and the others.With Li Xiaogong in his presence, he could easily bypass the sentinels that the Turks had placed in various places in the grasslands.

　　In addition to leaving a part of the troops stationed at the important checkpoints, all the troops in the hands of the Sixth Route Army Chief were mobilized by Li Jing.

　　On the map, the more than [-] horses of Datang formed a large net, which slowly began to shrink in the direction of Yanyun.

　　Datang's large-scale march was naturally unable to hide the eyes and ears of the Turkic scouts, but Li Jing also wanted to cover Su Dingfang's three troops to raid Zhanxiang.

　　It happened that Jieli Khan moved his troops in the direction of Yanyun, and Li Jing had a plan, which could give the Turks an illusion of adding troops to Yanyun.

　　The war was about to break out, and the commander of the 25th Army, who received the military order, realized that it would be a fierce battle, even a battle that would decide the outcome of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

　　In this battle, only one or two of the marching directors knew the details, while others were surprised that Li Jing would make such a bold game.

　　…………

　　"Report, the [-]-strong army of the Tang Dynasty is being transferred to the Yanyun area."

　　At this moment, in the tooth tent in Zhanxiang City, Khan Jie Li, who received the information from the spies, sneered.

　　He planned to capture Datang from the Yanyun area, so he mobilized a large number of people.

　　But the main purpose is to hold back most of Datang's troops.

　　A few days ago, he wrote two letters, one to Tuyuhun in the west of Hexi, and the other to Mohedu Khan of the Western Turks in Sanmi Mountain north of Qiuci.

　　The content of Jie Li Khan's letter was to form an alliance with them and to share the beautiful country of the Tang and Han people.

　　The East Turks were responsible for holding down the main force of Datang in the Yanyun area, hoping that they could send troops to attack Lingzhou of Datang from Hexi.

　　The content of the letter pointed out that in order to deal with their Eastern Turks, Datang had increased a large number of troops in the Yanyun area, which made Lingzhou's defense force extremely weak.

　　From Lingzhou all the way to the north, Datang has no troops at all, and can even hit Chang'an, the capital of Datang, in one go.Moreover, the Yanyun area is more than a thousand miles away from Hexi Lingzhou, and the two ends of the Tang Dynasty cannot be taken care of.

　　If Datang sent troops back to the Hexi area, the Eastern Turks could tear through Yanyun's line of defense and go down from Yanyun.

　　"Khan, I wonder if Tuyuhun and the Western Turks will agree to our alliance." Zhao Deyan said with some uncertainty.

　　"Thinking about what to do, we only need to hold back the main force of Datang for more than ten days, hehe, I don't believe they will be indifferent."

　　Jie Li Khan looked up at the sky, and the goose feather-like snow was slowly falling from the sky.

　　Winter in the north comes much earlier than in the south.Especially this year, it's only the beginning of August, and it's already snowing.

　　The weather has changed a month earlier than last year, and it is even colder than it has been in several years.

　　It was snowing heavily, and the East Turks did not know how many cattle and sheep would freeze to death this year.

　　Not only them, including Tuyuhun and the Western Turks, they also faced the same situation as the Eastern Turks.

　　In the harsh winter, they are nomads. If there is no sufficient food, a large number of people in the tribe will freeze to death and starve to death.

　　Therefore, going south to plunder all the materials needed is the best self-rescue method at present.

　　If not, what awaits them may be heavy casualties in the cold winter.

　　It happened to be the autumn harvest of the Tang Dynasty. If they could break through the army line of the Tang Dynasty, they could grab a large amount of food and warm cloth from the people of the Tang Dynasty.

　　"I hope everything goes well." Zhao Deyan nodded slowly, although he said that it was his plan to break through Datang's defense line.But this time it was Li Jing who led the troops, and his name Zhao Deyan was also heard.

　　It's okay to be seen through. With the more than [-] troops that Datang can muster, it is impossible to deal with it. I don't know how Li Jing will deal with it.

　　Any strategy is as fragile as paper in the face of absolute strength.

　　"I once heard that Su Dingfang, a general of the Tang Dynasty, defeated Bataan. A few days ago, he led [-] cavalry, and in the battle in Lingzhou, he killed hundreds of our Turkic people, which made people feel fearful. If you can If so, I would really like to see how powerful he is." Inside the tooth tent, Hu Zhi, known as the first warrior of the Turks, was full of bloodthirsty and excitement.His physique was similar to Su Dingfang, but he was not wearing any clothes in the winter.

　　The skin is tanned, but it doesn't appear to have any visible muscles.Who would have thought that the person in front of him would be the first warrior of the Turks.

　　"Hehe, there will always be a chance to meet them. I didn't expect that the soldiers of Datang would actually be able to defeat Bataan." Jie Li Khan said. .

Chapter 149

　　However, what Jie Li couldn't estimate was the changes in the battlefield brought about by the ability of the falcon fruit and the ability of the two cheetah fruits.

　　For example, the next day, a battle report that made him look ugly came from Yan Yun.

　　The Khitan had [-] cavalry, and in the looting of Baideng, they encountered a small force of the Tang Dynasty. The number was only more than [-]. They thought they could eat the opponent.Who knew the rout that was killed.

　　Although the soldiers of the Khitan were not as good as their Eastern Turkic elites, their cavalry and archery abilities were much better than those of the Tang army, so they wouldn't have been killed so badly.

　　Jieli Khan knew from the Khitan people who had escaped that they had encountered the Mo Dao Army of the Tang Dynasty.

　　The Tang Mo Dao Army is the elite of the elite. The Mo Dao in his hand can divide the horse in half with one knife, and it is specially designed to restrain the cavalry.

　　What frightened the Khitan the most was the leader Niu Jinda, who was wearing heavy armor and holding a Mo knife, sweeping thousands of troops with one move. The Khitan cavalry with a radius of ten meters was all cut off.

　　He is extremely powerful and walks like flying. He is clearly wearing dozens of pounds of armor, but his movements are extremely agile, and the Mo Dao, which weighs dozens of pounds, is like nothing.In the description of the Khitan people, it is simply a ghost-like existence.

　　If it weren't for the fact that the cavalry was not able to catch up with the Mo Dao Army, the Khitan's more than [-] cavalry would not be able to come back alive in the end, less than [-].

　　The successive failures made Jie Li a little irritable, especially the many tribes under the Eastern Turks, who finally realized that the Tang Dynasty was not so easily captured by them.

　　Fortunately, there were two or three tribes, and there was good news. They sacked a town and harvested hundreds of thousands of catties of grain and hundreds of women.

　　Then Jieli Khan called them together and briefly explained the pros and cons of the situation at this time.

　　The leaders of many Eastern Turkic tribes saw the white snow in the sky, and faced with the icy weather, it seemed that they had to block the way back.

　　On the contrary, the Khan of Tuli, north of Youzhou, contacted Wei Xiaojie, the head of the marching army, and took the initiative to ask Datang to surrender.

　　And Li Er, who learned about this, was overjoyed. He appointed him as General Youwei, and ordered Tang Jian to send an emissary to the Tuli tribe to assist the Tang Dynasty to "encircle" ~ exterminate" Jieli Khan!

　　"I don't know how Dingfang and the others are doing, and whether they can capture that Jieli Khan alive."

　　Li Jing's battle plan was very much in favor of Li Er.Using Xiaogong's ability to transform into a falcon to reconnaissance in the sky, the Eastern Turkic force distribution can be fully understood.

　　Su Dingfang, who took the cheetah fruit, would definitely be an invincible blade.Raid on Jie Li's tooth tent, the possibility of success is very high.

　　As long as Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks was captured, the leaderless Eastern Turks had hundreds of thousands of cavalry, but they were only scattered sand.

　　…………

　　The [-] people led by Su Dingfang appeared on the mountain fifteen miles away from Dingxiang.

　　The goose feather snow had already smeared all the green with frost and white, and also put a natural camouflage on them.

　　Because it started to snow, the march became extremely difficult.

　　The horses' hooves were deeply stuck in the snow, and they could only dismount and lead the horses forward.The icy weather made Su Dingfang and the others tremble.

　　"General, according to the report of the Prince of Hejian, ten miles ahead is the Turk's tooth tent." Deputy General Zhang rubbed his hands together.

　　"Very well, everyone will work harder and try to capture their nest before dark. Listen to me. Your Majesty means to capture Jie Li alive, do you understand?" Su Dingfang said loudly.

　　"¨〃Yes." Everyone's eyes were full of excitement, and everyone understood how much credit it would be if anyone could capture Jie Li alive.

　　"But General, don't we wait for Cheng Guogong and the others?" Vice-General Zhang was a little worried about whether they would be able to accomplish such an important task with only [-] of them.

　　"No need. There are only [-] people stationed at the other side. If we launch a surprise attack at night with [-] people, we can definitely defeat them in one fell swoop."

　　The Turks' ability to mount and shoot is very strong, but if they get off their horses, their combat ability is a bit weaker than that of their soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. After all, the gap in equipment level is there.

　　And launching a surprise attack at night can be done by surprise.After the last battle, Su (Li Zhao), who knew a little about his abilities, was confident that he could complete the task of capturing Jieli Khan alive.

　　If you want to wait for Cheng Yaojin and the others, you don't know how long you will wait, and you may even miss the fighter plane.
