Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Liang Shi, the king of the "Liang" Kingdom, accepted Sanyuluo, and the Turkic army and civilians were led by Yehu Ashinadulif, the younger brother of Ashinaduo Jishi.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the Turkic people to go south to escape the cold, Liang Shidu asked Qi Lifu to set up Ye Hu to lead the army and people to settle in this deserted city sixty miles south of Lingwu County.

With more than 4 people and [-] to [-] people stationed here, this small military town was filled to the brim.The original Bogulujun Town Mansion Festival Hall was originally the best-preserved house in Bogujun Township, and it was naturally used to house the most honorable Turkic Tullifer Yehu.

The so-called integrity is, of course, relative.The roof of this festival hall has long been exposed to the air, and a few pieces of cowhide were temporarily found to cover it, and the snow particles hit the skin like drums.

Tulifu waved his hands in disgust, and two burly-backed Turkic warriors came up, lifted the dead woman's body, and were about to go out.

In order to please Li Fushe, Master Liang snatched a few women from nowhere and gave them to Qi Lifushe to play with. In the eyes of Qi Lifushe, this Han girl had a fair figure and appearance, but she was not healthy. It smelled like a dead body lying on the wool felt, which made Li Fushe feel dull, no matter whether he strangled his neck or wrung it, he never made a sound.

When two Turkic warriors were about to go out carrying the half-naked female corpse, Qi Lifu said in Turkic (abbreviated below): "Don't waste it, pull it out and feed my Dahei!"

Dahei is the beloved black mountain dog of Li Fuqi, and it is extremely ferocious.

With his upper body bare, Tulliver sat in front of the bonfire, grabbed a silver bowl to fill a bowl of broth, and Tulliver held the broth in both hands, acting as a stove, with a depressed expression on his face: "God bitch, why don't you I thought the south would be warmer than the north, and even the wind and snow would be three points better than the vast sea (that is, Lake Baikal)!"

A golden-yellow lamb was roasting on the bonfire, steaming hot and full of aroma.The slave girl who was kneeling by the side, swallowed hard, but didn't dare to take another look at the roasted whole lamb.

Qi Lifushe is cruel and moody by nature. When he is in a good mood, he will sing with the lamb in his arms. When he is in a bad mood, he will kill people at will to vent his anger. Dozens of people, without exception, are all those beauties whom I still feel pity for.

At this moment, a Turkic soldier in a black bearskin cloak opened the door curtain and walked in.The moment the door curtain was lifted, the wind and snow poured down, making Li Fushe shiver.

"Bulugen, how's the situation?" Tuli Fushe was not angry at the sudden cold, he took a knife and cut off a large piece of hind leg meat from a whole roast lamb, and handed it to Bulugen. : "Have you found the Southern Barbarian?"

"Thieves, this gang of southern barbarians belong to foxes!" Bu Lugen sat beside the campfire angrily, took a bite of the roast mutton and began to chew, regardless of whether it was hot or not.

"Let them run away again?" Tuli Fushe suddenly found that Bulugen's chest was actually covered with paint, and there were some red ice slags hanging on the mottled nail leaves. He frowned and said, "Why, even you Didn't take advantage of it?"

"It's not that I'm incompetent, it's that these southern barbarians are too cunning!" Bu Lugen muttered, "The southern barbarians can only shoot cold arrows and dare not fight me head-on. They run faster than rabbits, but there is a barangzi (meaning Refers to young people) is not weak in kung fu!"

Qi Lifu set up to know that Bu Lugen loves face and likes to brag, and the other party is not only not weak, it should be that Bu Lugen suffered a big loss.Qi Li Fushe didn't point it out, patted Bulugen on the shoulder and said: "No matter how cunning a fox is, it can't escape the pursuit of hunters. When the weather clears, I'll see where they will flee!"

In the southeast of Lingwu County, about [-] or [-] miles away, there is a hot spring pool with tens of hundreds of hot springs of various sizes, and steam is rising slowly.At this time, the entire hot spring pool seemed to have become a city.On the right, there are thousands of snow sledges, forming a car array around three hot springs in the shape of a character.

The outer perimeter is surrounded by sledges that are eight feet high and about twelve feet long, and the watchtower sledges are arranged in the middle, forming a small city with a perimeter of more than [-] steps and a perimeter of more than [-] steps with car shields as walls.Above Checheng, there are three large silver-edged and blue-bottomed flags, fluttering in the wind. The big banner in the middle has an inscription "Chen, Chief of the Marching Army of the Great Tang Dynasty", the left one has an inscription "The Right Guard of the Eastern Palace leads Chen", and the one on the right has an inscription "Datang Zhongwu General Chen."

This car city is none other than the right guard led by Chen Ying to lead the reinforcements.As early as three days ago, Chen Ying led his troops to Lingzhou, but was repelled by the Yue cavalry army led by Luo Shixin, killing and injuring more than a hundred people and capturing more than a hundred horses.

The blizzard hissed wildly, and the snow particles hit the cowhide shed cloth of the Chinese army finger, making a crackling noise.

Chen Ying, who was originally handsome and unrestrained, seemed to have changed. Chen Ying was not only darker, but also thinner.

After nearly a month of long-distance travel, Chen Ying also ate a lot and lost weight.Not only has the person lost a lot of weight, the cheeks that were originally thin, but now the eye sockets are sunken, and there is not much flesh to be seen.

Although Chen Ying became thinner, his eyes were brighter.

More than four hundred riders galloped like thunder, breaking the silence of the hot spring pool.Chen Ying suddenly opened his eyes: "Finally back!"

Chen Ying didn't follow Liu Daer's example, and trapped Zhao Zilong, who was clearly a pioneer and a great talent, by his side to act as a bodyguard.After Luo Shixin caught up with Chen Ying, Chen Ying handed over [-] riders to Luo Shixin's command of the four Yueqi regiments led by the right guard. During the march, Luo Shixin released the four Yueqi regiments in turn. He was in charge of vigilance, and along the way, he smoothly wiped out three or four bandits formed by the collapse of the Qianshuiyuan Tang army along the way, and captured a lot of money.

After walking about a hundred steps to Checheng, the city gate, which was originally closed, suddenly opened.Zhang Huaiwei, Captain Guo Yi, the procurator of Xunyi Mansion, greeted him. "The night wind blows like a knife, you are not slow..."

Chapter 2 Turkic Surge

Luo Shixin took off his mask and gloves, stuffed them in the side pocket next to the saddle, and asked the guards to take the horse away. He breathed warm air on his frozen hands, hoping to warm them up, and said, "If you slow down, you will freeze, Chen Is the general asleep?"

"Is he asleep if you don't come back?" Zhang Huaiwei said, "Quick, don't be in a daze, come in and warm up for a while!"

Gloves and masks were common things in later generations. However, since leaving the Great Sanguan Pass, many soldiers who were fighting with swords and shields were frostbitten. Chen Ying immediately thought of gloves.

It's just a pity that there is no cotton cloth in this era, and gloves made of linen are less effective in preventing cold, but once made of leather gloves, although they keep warm, they cannot keep fingers flexible.

After several experiments, Chen Ying decided to equip each soldier with two pairs of gloves, one pair of gloves made of two layers of fine linen, although such gloves are slightly inferior in terms of cold resistance.But it will not frostbite the fingers of the soldiers, nor will it affect the flexible movement of the fingers.

Whether it is the crossbowmen shooting arrows or holding spears, it has almost no effect.Gloves made of leather are mainly used for tasks that do not require flexible fingers, such as holding a shield, driving a snow sled, or sitting on a snow sled and marching.

In such cold weather, even the more cold-tolerant Turkic people could not open their bows smoothly on horseback. Even if they barely opened their bows, their hit rate was less than [-]% of the usual.

Luo Shixin was still wondering what was going on in Chen Ying's head, that he could even come up with such a good solution.Recently, he led the Yueqi regiment to confront the Turkic Rangers, and he took advantage mainly because of his gloves.

The fingers of the Turkic without gloves were almost frozen. Their reaction was more than half a beat longer than usual. Before they could draw their bows, Luo Shixin's cavalry had already rained arrows on their heads.When the Turkic people reacted, Luo Shixin turned around and ran away with Tang Junyue Cavalry Army.

In such cold weather, the physical exertion of a war horse is astonishing.The most important thing is that the frozen ice and snow surface will cause great damage to the horse's hoof, but Chen Ying has already nailed the horseshoe of the Yue cavalry army to the horseshoe, so there is no need to worry about these problems.

So the Turkic people couldn't fight and couldn't beat them, and couldn't catch up with them at all, so they could only vomit blood depressedly.

Liang Zan, who was standing beside Chen Ying, noticed that Chen Ying's superior aura was even heavier. Chen Ying was standing in the command vehicle in armor, and the generals standing below him trembled unconsciously. Speaking of this, the long march of less than a month is like passing the day like a year.

The [-]-mile journey every day, regardless of the weather, has almost exhausted the physical strength of the soldiers, but Chen Ying still trains twice in the morning and evening. If he does not train for half an hour, the queue will not be allowed to hurry.And the most excessive thing, as long as any group is hindered and cannot reach the camp within the stipulated time, the food of the whole group will be reduced by [-]%.

Gao Yunquan was the most inconceivable person. Under Chen Ying's harsh torture, the soldiers of the army never had any troubles despite their complaints.

The right guard led Chang Shi and Duan Lun, the captain-in-law Duan Lun, had caught cold when he just left Da San Pass, so Chen Ying allowed him to recuperate in Da San Pass.Marching all the way, Chen Ying used Zhang Huaiwei, Zhang Shigui, and Yin Yuan to train Xunyifu, Yiyifu and Yierfu, and adopted a harsh method to train troops while marching. The pain suffered by the entire army can be imagined.

But without Duan Lun, the captain-in-law, no one dared to confront Chen.There was a thunderous clatter of horseshoes, and Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui came together.

"Report to the general, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui are back!"

"Let's not be busy for a while, each soldier of the Yueqi regiment will add four taels of meat (a quarter of a catty) and half a catty of wine!" Chen Ying said calmly.

"Thank you, Manager!"

The officers and soldiers of the Yue cavalry shouted excitedly.

After Luo Shixin's pale face turned rosy, he drank three bowls of broth.Chen Ying couldn't wait to look at Luo Shidao: "How about the north side?"

"very bad!"

Luo Shixin put down the bowl in his hand, took off his boots, and put his legs on the stove to roast them.Zhang Shigui put down the bowl depressedly, and said displeasedly: "You still don't let people eat, your feet haven't been washed for several years!"

Chen Ying had long been used to Luo Shixin's stinky feet, and he didn't feel uncomfortable in the slightest. "Have the Turks increased their troops?"

"Yes!" Luo Shi said, "After breaking three brothers, I finally touched Yezhu Ridge. Now there are at least [-] Turkic tents in Yezhu Ridge, including more than [-] large tents and nearly [-] small tents." !"

"Five hundred tents?" Chen Ying was startled when he heard this.

The small tents of the Turks are similar to those of the Tang army, with ten or twelve people as tents.The big tent is 12 or 50 people.There are thousands of accounts, and it is roughly estimated that there are 60 people.The information I got when I was in Chang'an was that there were only 1 Turkic cavalry stationed in Yezhuling, and now a few have doubled their strength.

If it is five thousand light cavalry, the right guard led by Chen Ying and sixteen regiments in four prefectures may not be incapable of fighting.But at this time, the disparity in strength is too great.

Chen Ying took a chance and asked: "Could it be that the Turkic people are playing tricks?"

"In this terrible weather, there is no fire in the tent, it's almost like an ice cellar!" Luo Shixin rubbed his feet dripping with yellow water, and said helplessly: "Thousands of these tents are all occupied by people. It’s lacking, and now it’s freezing cold, and every tent means a few lives, and the Turks don’t have the capital to bluff!”

Chen Ying thinks about it too. For ordinary herdsmen, a tent is the main property of the family. If they lose their tents, they will not be able to last even an hour in this kind of weather.

Luo Shidao: "The situation in Bogulu City has also been investigated clearly. The Turkic Shibi Khan Ashina Dujishi's younger brother is stationed there, and Yehu Ashinadurifu set up a department!"
