1038 Shrouded in horse leather

The upper class of the Turks were full of thought. Even if the Tang army was about to come to the tent, they still had a dispute, and it was uncertain whether to fight or surrender.

But not all Turkic nobles were so timid and vain. As the news of the Tang army's vanguard sweeping the tribes around the tent continued to come, there were also calls for war within the Turks, especially some young and strong tribes who had not experienced the strong suppression of the Tang Dynasty. Now they were forced to their nests by the Tang army soldiers. They were all very indignant, and even felt dissatisfied with the power of the elders who were still hesitant.

"The reason why heaven and earth divide the north and south is to allow all kinds of races to reproduce and survive. Mobei is the territory that was passed down in our tribe era. How can I let my son get involved? The Tang Kingdom has already built a vast territory, and our tribe has lived in Mobei with peace and stability for many years, but it has still raised troops to attack. This is really too much. It is obvious that our tribe does not want to survive on earth!"

When they were young, they were the age when they were fullest and strongest about the sense of belonging and honor of tribes. Since the Turks had to retreat to Mobei more than ten years ago, these young generations have grown up in Mobei and have few opportunities to connect with the Tang Dynasty. They only felt that they were separated from each other and did not hurt each other. They could not deeply understand why the Tang Dynasty pursued them relentlessly and killed them all.

Because of this ignorance, they felt more indignant about the invasion of the Tang Kingdom. The relatives of the clan strictly prohibited them from going out privately, watching and provoking the Tang army. A group of young and vigorous young people gathered together, and the most they did all day was to curse the arrogant and viciousness of the Tang Kingdom.

In addition to their resentment towards the Tang Dynasty, they also had some doubts about how powerful the opponent could make those high-ranking people who were usually majestic in front of the clans cowardly avoid the war.

"No matter how strong the Tang people are, they are just a limb. Can they still use more hands, feet, and sticks than the heroes of our tribe? Mobei is the land where I, Ashina tribe, galloping. When the Tang army comes from afar, it will be difficult to absorb the water and soil and exhausted. Now my tent is overwhelming, but I am sitting and watching these thieves harm their people and plunder cattle and sheep. The Ashina tribe has the spirits to the top, and know that the descendants of the descendants are so corrupt that they can rest in peace?"

All kinds of anger were discussed in one go. Among them, there were both true ignorant people who were not afraid of it, and there were also those who had ulterior motives who deliberately incited the public.

The bans of tribal adults made young people feel very conflicted. Although the past power still made them dare not openly violate the ban, they gradually became unhappy and gathered around the den to watch and watch those irritable quarrels.

In such an atmosphere, the more radical the leader is, the closer the support of a group of young people. Among them, the most highly praised by young people is Special Forces Yang Wozhi.

Although he was young, Yang Wozhi was nearly forty years old. He was the eldest son of Khan Mochuo, and he did not belong to the young and strong generation of adults in Mobei. As early as when Mochuo was guarding Heisha City in Monan, he had already begun to lead his army to plunder the border towns of the Tang Kingdom. He was also considered the veteran of the Turkic Khanate who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and started his business.

However, the old father and eldest son are inevitably inseparable from friction, especially in tribal regimes like the Turkic tribe, the conflict between father and son is more obvious and fierce. Yang Wozhi made great contributions to the growth of his father's power, but as his own influence grew stronger, it gradually threatened Mochu's position to stabilize.

In his early years, Mochu was still wandering in the south of the Mohe River and often fought with the Tang Dynasty border troops. He still had a strong point in his eldest son. However, as he retreated to the north of Mohe River, Mochu became more focused on the friction and condensation within the tribe, and his power grew stronger. Yang Wozhi, the eldest son, who had a group of fans, became an annoying existence.

Mochuo did not like this eldest son, so he kept placing him on the periphery of the den. In recent years, he has not allowed the eldest son to return to the den to visit at will. Even though the Turkic nobles and nobles are now discussing the future of the tribe, Yang Wozhi is still not allowed to return.

Because the territory was outside the tent, with the advance of the Tang army northward, the Tang vanguards and scouts of the Tang Dynasty frequently had wars and frictions. Although the scale of the war was not large, they could still win and lose. They frequently escorted some captured Tang army scouts and rode to the tent, which also made the young and depressed Turks more respected and admired Yang Wozhi, and many radicals rushed to the tent.

Unlike the old father who was in a slump in the rear and the nobles of the tribe with different thoughts, Yang Wozhi was not too scared of this Tang army attack, and even felt a little glad of gratitude.

He knew that his father was increasingly preventing him. If the Tang army had not raised troops to advance, he might have been poisoned by his father. He knew that the Tang army's combat effectiveness would be more dangerous to fight with him, but compared with the fact that he would have no life in his father's hands, he still had some hope of making a living.

Therefore, over the past period of time, Yangwozhi has also actively promoted the achievements of its troops in fighting with the Tang army, so as to expand its influence and appeal in the clan, and is extremely welcome to those young and strong tribes who come to vote.

However, when the young men of those tribes came to the territory of Yangwo Branch, they found that the Yangwo Branch's troops had a lot of achievements and had almost no large-scale battles. Occasionally, some sick and injured soldiers were seized and they were very popular. Some broken armored battles became old actors who showed off their power.

Although he was quite disappointed, compared with the old guys in the clan who were so timid that they dared not to argue, Yang Wozhi fought bravely with a clear attitude. The only problem was that the armor was not good enough and the soldiers were not strong enough. But since he and others came here, these shortcomings naturally had to be made up for, and a brilliant victory was vaguely visible.

Many strong soldiers gathered outside the tent and shouted for battle every day. Yang Wozhi had gathered the crowd with this, so naturally he had no way to avoid delays. Although he was unwilling to do his best to fight the Tang army's main force, he also understood that a considerable victory was the key to his great progress in power prestige.

So after some investigation and exploration, Yang Wozhi decided to gather the elite troops to encircle and suppress the vanguard of the Tang army.

Among the desolate wilderness and hills, Tang soldiers and horses were trekking hard all the way. This was a baggage team, with hundreds of soldiers cruising and guarding each other, and the main body of the team was dozens of large chariots and more than 300 soldiers of various races.

The army was working on an expedition, and the supplement of logistics supplies was the top priority. Although the main army of the northern expedition advanced from Heshuo to the north, after entering the northern part of the Mobei region, the main supply route still came from the Western Regions.

Just as there were thousands of miles of Gobi deserts on the marching routes from north to south, the western route did not lose the echo of water and grass strongholds. Therefore, the focus of controlling the northern desert in the Han Dynasty was on the operation of the Western Regions, so-called opening the arm of the country to control the far and wide.

Although the main force of the Northern Expedition Army has not yet officially arrived at Yu Dujun Mountain, the construction of the forward stronghold and the dispatch of material supplies are in full swing. The main task of the scouts who have arrived around the den is to extract the tribal gathering sites outside the den and compress the range of activities of the Turkic scouts.

The main purpose of these baggage teams that were on the road in advance was not to fight and transport. It seemed that there were many cars and drivers, but they were often mixed with real and falsehood. With the cooperation of scouts from all walks of life, they were also tempted to attack the Turkic scouts and discovered the best-efficient material investment route.

However, this team is real at the moment, and the main transport of oil and plasters to prevent and treat cold and cold.

The cold weather in the northern desert is a great test for the soldiers in the northern expedition. Although the northern expedition has been very powerful since the northern expedition, these soldiers in the northern expedition were eventually a group of people who grew up in the Kaiyuan New Dynasty. In the past ten years, the Tang army disappeared from the northern expedition. Now that they are revisiting the old place, they also need sufficient and comprehensive supplies to fight the test of the weather.

This team set out from the Anbei Protectorate in Jixi. Before officially boarding the road, several teams had already explored the way forward and determined a route with the least amount of Turkic scouts.

Because this batch of materials is of great importance, the Anbei Protectorate did not dare to neglect it, and the Sima Liu Yu of the Protectorate was personally responsible for the escort.

While facing the bitter cold wind, Liu Yu held a simple leather sketch in both hands. The route on the map was quite simple, and he had to match the ground text features with side notes to determine the direction of his progress.

Although it has been in the north for several years, such a long period of field operations still made Liu Yu so cold that his hands and feet were cracked and frostbite were covered with frostbite. While the team was walking into the valley and avoiding the strong wind, Liu Yu had some difficulty climbing to the high place and looked out.

A escort handed over a box of paste and wanted to apply it to Liu Yu on the back of his hand that was already in purulent, but he waved his hand to stop him. "It's not a warrior, so you don't need to be too kind to love. You can get warm when you arrive in the front camp, and you'll leave it to your hands and feet to kill the enemy."

Liu Yu was not deliberately arrogant, because the cold weather caused the soldiers to be more severe than before the war. After passing several scout camps, they saw that many soldiers were unable to move when they were frozen and hungry, and they felt more and more that the preciousness of this batch of supplies was not tolerated.

At present, they only need to send the supplies to a camp in the future, and their mission was successfully completed. However, since nearly two days were wasted in the wilderness, and the scouts front camp followed the trend, it would be difficult to find it if they missed the time.

Although he finally did not violate the situation, a storm hit him, which greatly changed the landform information received in the front camp. In order to find out the most accurate location of the front camp, Liu Yu was also constantly sending small passers-by to search along the way.

He walked along the way, nearly two thousand warriors were escorted, and he added to other scouts along the way. Now there are only more than two hundred warriors left in the team. Previously, a hundred people were scattered out in batches. Now the power of the guard has reached an extremely dangerous level.

In order to hide their whereabouts to the greatest extent, the group of people should not even cook with fire to keep warm. The air-dried hu cakes are firmly attached to their chests and can almost be used as heart protection glasses. Eating has become a torture. The rough crumbs cut through their mouths and tongues like gravel.

The soldiers of the followers had their own sense of honor and responsibility, and they could still tolerate this dilemma, and the recruited soldiers couldn't help but complain. In order to boost morale, Liu Yu was chewing on the dry cakes while dragging his tired body in the car room. After the journey, he had already remembered everyone's names and cheered up with their respective visions over and over again.

Although he was extremely careful, when the team finished resting and continued to set off on the road, a team of more than a dozen Turkic knights appeared in their sight. Seeing that the soldiers immediately boarded the horse and intercepted the enemy, they were still escaped by several Turkic knights because they were not caught. Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand and ordered, "Return to the valley and wait for help!"

Before they could return to the valley, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded outside the valley, and thousands of Turkic riders appeared outside the valley.

Seeing the enemy surging, the team suddenly started to cry out in the silence. The commander of the team led the captain to count the reserves of bows and arrows, and before entering, he suggested, "Mr., abandon the car and go around! The valley is wide and the pond is slow, and it is not resistant to sticking to it. If you force yourself to stay here, you may lose all the characters..."

Liu Yu also knew that the commander's proposal made sense, but he was reluctant to throw away the supplies. If other items could be avoided and gathered to retake them, these paste medicines only need to be burned, and even if they are killed again, it would be useless.

"You will lead the crowd to the top, and the beacon is sent to the fire. I and the soldiers will set up a formation to wait for help!"

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yu was still worried about leaving these materials here and decided to defend them here. Seeing that the commander was still waiting for advice, he said seriously, "Don't waste time anymore! Since the front camp was once set up close, even if there is advance and retreat, it must not be far away. We only need to defend for a short time, and there will be aid!"

Although this statement makes sense, if the war is ignited, it is difficult to judge the number of enemy and our army. The front camp abandons this and leaves, unless there is a great breakthrough on the front battlefield, it is very likely to temporarily avoid the edge. Once the enemy flocks to the crowd, even if there is support from the nearest place, you will probably give up strategically.

But seeing that Liu Yu still insisted on doing this, the commander could only grit his teeth and say, "Tao Jun, take care of him! If you have to return from this formation, you will not be drunk or disperse!"

After saying this, the commander led dozens of soldiers and strong war horses, carrying some bows, arrows and beacon fuel and ran straight to the hillside near the left.

Liu Yu busy commanding the rest of the soldiers to set up the carriages and distribute bows and knives. Seeing that the soldiers were all frightened and panicked, he squatted beside the burning bonfire in the formation, took out the hard cakes to bake on the side, and smiled and said, "Instead of worrying about waiting for death, it is better to eat warmly and warmly! The lieutenant has taken away the name book. Even if we all die, the court will never erase this strength of the formation! The life statute is sold here, and parents, wife and children benefit from it, and life will be free of regrets. Why not be afraid of death?"

When everyone heard this, they felt a little calm, but a strong man from Hu pointed at Liu Yu and cursed, "I am not a citizen, and I have no relatives to benefit from it when I die! The thief official speaks decently on his usual words, but when he encounters an enemy, he makes a silence, and he is in his hand, fighting for his life! Kill one is not a loss, kill two is profitable!"

The Turkic enemy came quickly. After arriving outside the valley, they made a brief investigation and then charged straight towards the chariot formation inside the valley. Although the road was not as bright as the plain, it could not stop the iron hooves from galloping.

They were greeted with a series of rapid arrows, but the soldiers in the formation were not well-trained elite soldiers after all. They could not grasp the opportunity to shoot arrows. Before the thief was within the range, the arrows had been shot out. Although they still seemed to be powerful, they had few killing enemies.

Although the impact was not very close, the Turkic cavalry had already seen that there were only a group of mobs in the formation, and their mentality was even more relaxed. The cavalry in the front lingered and wandered a little, and then rode their horses around, while approaching, while drawing bows and shooting.

"Call the horse, shoot the horse, don't shoot people!"

Seeing that the invading enemy's armor was well protected, even if there were stray arrows and bodies, it would be difficult to cause damage, Liu Yu shouted and reminded him and led his bow to demonstrate. Although he was not a military officer in the camp, his bow and horse skills were quite proficient. He shot an arrow straight into the belly of the horse, and the knight on the opposite side fell down.

Seeing this, the soldiers in the formation applauded repeatedly, but Liu Yu smiled bitterly and covered his swollen fingers cut by the bowstring on his forejaculation. The coldness of the tentacles made the wound paralyzed and solidified, but the numb knuckles were hard to ejaculate again.

Although the counterattack of the crossbow inside the formation caused some damage to the Turkic cavalry outside the formation, it was not lasting. After several tests and feint attacks, few arrows were shot out in the formation.

Seeing this scene, the sound of an attack horn sounded in the Turkic team, and a group of martial soldiers were approaching like wolves and tigers. However, the Tang army's chariot formation was not a false idea. The external hanging sharp edges made it difficult for them to climb. Once they were dismounted, a spear stabbed out like a snake and a letter from inside, piercing people through the spot!

"Strong attack, strong attack! This Tang army miscellaneous unit has low combat power. There must be heavy goods in the car, and you can break the formation and take it!"

Seeing that the Tang army knights who had just jumped into the formation and fled, had already burned several waves of war on the slopes near the slopes, the Turkic commander ordered the teams to be separated to chase and kill, and ordered the soldiers to quickly break through the formation of vehicles here.

The Turkic army was full of people, and they were drooling in the face of the fat sheep that they had finally caught. They did not need any urging commands from the leader, and they all flocked in front of them.

Although the soldiers in the formation were not brave enough, they were in a siege and were stimulating their strength when they were alive and fought back desperately.

After the initial panic, I saw that many seemingly powerful enemy groups gradually calmed down outside the corpse carriage under their counterattack. Some of the superficial military exercises I had received before were recalled again, and followed the movements in my memory and the stern attack, and gradually became a pattern.

The Tang Jun's car driver's ration was originally aimed at the Turkic Ranger's impact. The external box board seemed like a ferocious beast with fangs exposed. The tall body was hard to jump past with human power and horse feet.

Under this arch, it was not easy for the Turkic army to break through the hedgehog chariot formation. These young Turks rarely experienced such excellent combat. With a fierce attack, they only left dozens of corpses.

Although the casualties were not big, the blow to morale was quite serious. The opponent in front of him was not the real elite of the Tang army, which made people feel particularly difficult.

After watching the formation, the Turkic leader changed his attack method and picked out hundreds of elite soldiers with swords to enter the front. While slashing the outer wall of the enclosed cabin, he tied the thick ropes to the frame, trying to break a gap with his horse dragging. At the same time, he kept shooting in the back formation to block the Tang army's counterattack in the formation.

The attack method changed slightly, and the Tang army in the formation became panic. After many people were shot by stray arrows one after another, many people simply hid under the frame.

True elite soldiers need to undergo long-term training to restrain the seemingly seeking profit and avoiding harm in crisis, but in fact they are very stupid instincts. However, the soldiers in the formation who were responsible for escorting the baggage obviously did not have such combat qualities. As the Turks' attack became more fierce, they soon became busy.

However, at this moment, the sound of horses galloping in the side formation sounded. The Turkic soldiers turned their heads and looked at them. The dozens of horses who had just escaped were circling back from the back of the slope and rushed straight towards their array.

At this time, there were more than a thousand Turkic troops arrayed in the valley, and only dozens of Tang cavalry were as ridiculous as shaking trees. The overestimating attack of the Tang army naturally caused laughter from the Turkic troops in the array. Without the need for the leader to dispatch, two cavalry were separated and attacked left and right to meet the enemy.

However, these dozens of soldiers were not the soldiers in the chariot formation. They were leaping in a geese-shaped manner while galloping forward, flashing out the Turkic cavalry that was moving forward to meet the enemy. As if they were within range, the arrows with full strings on the saddle side were shot out, and a series of sharp sounds were heard. The Turkic cavalry teams passing by on the other side fell down in an instant!

Seeing that the enemy was so fierce, all the Turkic soldiers who were present were intimidated. However, this team of Tang army knights did not run away, hung their bows on their left, held their swords on their backs, but instead rushed straight towards the Turkic formation. Although the team was weak, the blade was invincible.

All those who were on the front line had their armor broken, and a shocking gap in the queue was torn apart to the naked eye, piercing straight toward the Turkic leader in the center of the queue.

The leader didn't have such a fierce formation, and only the sound of killing sounds were heard in his ears. Although he was surrounded by armor and surrounded by armor, he still felt cold all over his body. He subconsciously turned his horse and walked away. When he woke up and ordered the siege to kill, the Tang army had already killed the army and rushed to Guyou.

"If the thief cannot be strong for a long time, it will be a disaster... How can the courage of the desperate situation be renewed?"

The leader returned to the formation with awkwardness, glanced at the bloody path that had been killed by the Tang cavalry just now, pulled Turkic words to cover up his embarrassment, and ordered the soldiers who returned to the entire formation to clean up the casualties and horses. Another sharp light flashed in their eyes, and they shouted, "Continue to break the formation, leave no living!"

However, at this time, the guards in the chariot formation had a chance to breathe, cut off the ropes tied to the chariot one by one, and used iron cables to strengthen the chariot ring formation from the inside. Liu Yu took advantage of the chaos of the enemy's situation and personally led more than a dozen soldiers to climb out of the chariot, cut off the heads of the Turkic dead outside the formation, and took advantage of the enemy's attack and throwing them out to destroy their morale.

After such a confrontation, the situation in the valley became a bit stalemate. The Turks still gained the advantage of the scene with their power, but they lacked the ambition to fight to the death. After all, it was only a matter of time to conquer the enemy here.

But the problem lies precisely in time. Under the guidance of the beacon, nearby teams soon wandered around. The sound of horse hooves sounded in the northeast of the valley, and soon hundreds of Tang army scouts appeared in the field of vision.

The Turkic soldiers were naturally a little frightened when they saw this, but not long after, a large mass of smoke and dust rose in the north, and several other cavalry took the lead and shouted loudly, "The special service army is behind, don't let the thieves escape!"

The scoutsman who was speeding towards this in the wilderness changed his face when he saw this. His Adam's apple shook and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm. "Damn, I just avoided the entanglement of the wolf cubs. I'm going to fall into the trap... What's the matter in the trapped people ahead? If it doesn't matter, I'll ask for more blessings!"

At this moment, the Tang army commander who was greeting from the valley also rode his horse and shouted to the friendly troops who were running towards him, "Which army is right? Our Anbei Basin was ordered to transport oil and ointment. Sima Liu Yu refused to give up the ointment to donate the ointment, because he was trapped in the valley..."

The scout commander did not want to fall into danger, but in shame he didn't want to respond, but when he heard the other party shouting, his shoulders trembled slightly, he straightened his horse's head and accelerated his way, and shouted at the other party, "Is your Sima Ming Liu Yu? Where is he a person?"

The situation was urgent, and the commander who came to ask for help was naturally not in the mood to discuss the local morality. However, seeing the other party's expression was serious, he still responded, "The mansion's name is Liu Yu, a person from Jingzhao Duling. If he had not cared about the soldiers on the front line, he would not have been trapped in a group of thieves..."

"Duling, Jingzhao... It sounds like the same person as the same person, but how could my miserable brother, the corporal in the village, have the luck of the emperor's mission to guard the border?"
