Datang: Valkyrie chat group

The departure of Gao Fulfillment Department 22 did not cause any big commotion.

After the army had breakfast by the river, they set off again.

Next, there are still thousands of miles of journey waiting for them to conquer, and on this journey, it is bound to be impossible to be as peaceful as the previous days.

They may encounter the Turks at any time.

"All the troops, let the scouts out, and report back immediately if you find a Turkic tribe."

Tang Feng was driving the horse, while galloping forward, he ordered.

Thousands of scouts galloped forward at a faster speed.

The Tang Dynasty is famous for its infantry. In history, the key to victory in the wars between the Tang Army and the Quartet was often the heavy armored infantry. The infantry regiment of the legion, as for the cavalry, in many cases, it is an auxiliary role.

And like this time, 14 cavalry and [-] horses were dispatched at one time, which was rarely seen in the history of Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Tang Feng is also the youngest general in the history of the Tang Dynasty who led the Northern Expedition.

Niu Da carried the big ax weighing several tens of catties on his back, and rode on his big horse. With tiger eyes, he looked at the young figure in front of him.

At this moment, he felt endless emotion in his heart.

Once upon a time, the Great Tang military had always belonged to those... the founding veterans. The founder of the country, half of them are Lingyan Pavilion ministers.

As for going out in command, those are the qualifications that only the sixteen generals of the guards can have.

But now, there is one more person.

The key point is that this person is only 17 years old. A year ago, everyone didn't even know that there was such a person in the world, but now, his name is known to everyone in the Tang Dynasty. don't know.

At the age of 17, he took command twice, which is unique in Tang's history.

In particular, he personally organized and trained the new army of the guard. Now many people are testing it. If the training of the new army of the guard is completed, this Tang Dynasty may have another general to command the army.

Tang Feng, who was running at the front, naturally didn't know Niu Da's thousands of thoughts behind him.

At this moment, his thoughts had already flown out.

He was judging how long it would take for the Yinshan Royal Court to discover the whereabouts of their own troops.

Hopefully, the later the better.

If it can be delayed for another five days, then the form will be more beneficial to them.

After another half day of running, I finally met the Turkic people.

However, what Tang Feng and the others encountered was not the troops from the Yinshan Royal Court, but a small Turkic tribe nomadic in this grassland.

Lush grass-covered hills.

Tang Feng rode on the horse, looking down from a height, looking at a place not far away.

The killing came so suddenly.

Thousands of Great Tang cavalry surrounded the small tribe from four directions.

For...the Tang cavalry who suddenly appeared, the people in the tribe were all in a daze at first.

"The Tang people are the cavalry of the Tang people."

When they saw the Tang army flag fluttering in the wind and the eye-catching Mingguang armor, someone shouted in horror.

In the long history of China, the Tang Dynasty is the last Chinese empire that can make grassland tribes fear.

Just like the later generations, the Han people feared the cavalry on the grasslands. In this era, and before this era, the grassland tribes also have a deep fear of the Central Plains Dynasty.

This kind of fear comes from the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, who repeatedly beat... the grassland tribes.

As far back as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhao Guo: the ravages of the northern grassland peoples, and then the Great Qin Iron Cavalry trampled on the northern grasslands, and then in the Han Dynasty, even at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the heroes were divided, such as Lu Bu Cao Cao and others, also once Repeatedly ravaged the northern grassland tribes.

The poverty and weakness of the Jin Dynasty, and then through the Southern and Northern Dynasties, until the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the Han family once again began to suppress the northern grassland strongly.

That quiet 990 tribe, at this moment, became: chaos.

The men picked up their weapons one after another, got on their horses, and the women hugged their children and got into the tent in panic.

The fight came so suddenly.

The sun shines on the earth, and also shines on the bright armor.

Blood splattered, under the cold Tang knife, splattered on the bright light armor.

This is just a small tribe with a population of only a few hundred people, and there are only more than 200 males. How can it resist the soldiers of thousands of Tang cavalry?

Tang Feng was riding a war horse, standing on the hill, behind him was the lieutenant general belonging to Baiji.

The neighing of war horses..., the screams, and the desperate cries intertwined.

From the beginning to the end, Tang Feng remained silent until the fight was over.

"Clean up the battlefield and take away all the food that can be taken away, including horses, cattle and sheep."

After the fight was over, Tang Feng said coldly.

The war between races and races is always cruel.

Tang Feng understands even more clearly that sympathy for...the enemy is cruelty to himself, so he will not sympathize with those Turkic people who died in the fight, let alone To sympathize with those... Turkic women in fear and despair.

Chapter 527: Among the Royal Court

From the moment Tang Feng chose to take the western route and only carried a month's worth of food with him, he had already embarked on a dangerous road.

It can be said that once he made a choice, he had no way out.

Either win all, or lose all.

It's just because they only have one month's food. If they can't win a big victory in the battle of Yinshan and can't get food from the Turks, then what is waiting for them will be starved to death.

Therefore, when he stepped into the grassland, he would not miss any chance to get food.

Cattle, sheep, etc..., these are all high-quality food.

For... these Turkic people, it is a precious thing in their life, without these things, waiting for them, it will be death, but that is not related to him What does it matter?

Truth is cruel, if you sympathize with the enemy, then you are cruel to yourself.

This is a war of races, to be precise, a war of extermination.

In this kind of war, no one can stay out of the way.

Today, he led the army to march north, but if the Turks invaded the land of the Central Plains, I am afraid that those...the vicious Turks would do more cruelly.

He is not a butcher, at least, he did not let the army slaughter the entire small Turkic tribe.

Beacon flames.

The whole tribe is on fire.

All the food that could be taken away was looted, and then the Tang cavalry in bright armor left one after another.

All that was left was the mess.

At this time, the Yinshan Royal Court, thousands of miles away.

There is no end to the tent in the seat of the Eastern Turkic kingship, and this place was once regarded as a place of pride by the Turkic people.

However, when Tang Feng led [-] cavalry for thousands of miles, slaughtered here, captured all members of the royal family, and even burned the royal tent, this pearl was dusted.

Even after such a long time, traces of the flames of war can still be seen here.

Although the former King's Court Golden Tent was rebuilt, it's just that the time is rushing, and there is no way to compare with the magnificent Wangting's Golden Tent in the past.

In the gold account at this time.

Ji Li Khan was sitting on a stone chair covered with tiger skin, holding a sharp dagger in one hand, cutting the fat mutton in front of him.

Below, several tribal khans and wizards sat separately.

"Great Khan: The news came back from Chang'an, saying that several writers from the Tang State wanted to send troops to the grassland, because the Tang's treasury was tight."

The wizard looked at Jiri Khan and said.

Ji Li Khan raised his head, and his hands stopped.

"The news is true"

Ji Like, the wizard, asked.

Since the big defeat not long ago, when Geely Khan fled in embarrassment, only 4 of his [-] troops returned in the end.

He knew that after this great battle, subtle changes had taken place in the position of the battlefield between their Eastern Turks and Tang.

In the first half of the year, East Turkistan had a dominant position on the battlefield, but after three defeats, East Turks fell into a disadvantaged position.

The king of Tang in Chang'an City is a monarch with great ambitions. That monarch wants to destroy the Eastern Turks and annex the entire grassland.

Now, the opportunity has come, and the monarch will definitely not miss this opportunity.

Therefore, after returning to the grassland, he has been working hard to prepare for the full-scale northern expedition of the Tang Dynasty.

Logically speaking, when the weather gets warmer, Datang will definitely mobilize a large army to make a full-scale northern expedition. At that time, there will be no eggs under the cover of the nest. Either their Eastern Turks will disappear completely, or Datang's more than [-] Northern Expeditions The army, all stay on this grassland.

But now, I got such news. If this news is true, then, for them, the East Turkic

That being said, it's great news.

However, he expressed serious doubts about this news.

The Tang State is so big, after many years of rest and recuperation, the treasury has been enriched, even though years of wars have consumed a lot of national strength, but if you tighten your belt, you can always squeeze out the food and grass needed by the army.

"The news is true. Because of this matter, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Tang Kingdom had several quarrels, and even almost fought."

The wizard nodded.

These... are not secrets anymore, at least, in Chang'an City, it is already known to everyone.

In fact, at the very beginning, those... civil and military ministers in Chang'an also quarreled several times because of this matter. Anyone who is interested can find out.

"This is a good thing. It's a great thing. If the Tang State's treasury is tight and unable to go north, then we Turks will have a chance to breathe. If we can survive this year, then it will be Tang Dynasty who wants to go north again." Zheng, we have no fear."

The tribal khan sitting next to the wizard said with a smile.

The other khans all showed joy on their faces.

"Could this be fake news deliberately spread by Datang?"

Jiri Khan asked thoughtfully.

When hearing Jiri Khan's inquiry, there was a brief silence in the tent.

"It shouldn't be fake news. The civil servants of the Tang Dynasty did not oppose the Northern Expedition. They also agreed with the Northern Expedition. However, they put forward a condition that the Northern Expedition must end within two months."

The wizard was the first to break the silence and speak.

Hearing the wizard's words, someone stood up in the tent.

"Wishful thinking means that our Turkic people have suffered repeated setbacks, but as for the Tang people, they want to destroy our Turkic people within two months. They are really wishful thinking."

A burly King Khan shouted at the top of his voice.

"The Tang people are wishful thinking, let alone two months, even if it is half a year in Nuonuo, they will never want to defeat us Turks."

Another Khan stood up and shouted.

These......Khan kings are all kings of various tribes, with strong military force, but also some change of mind.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even in the current Eastern Turks, if all the people are soldiers, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to wipe out this once powerful grassland ethnic group within two months.

You know, this is not a tribe, but a grassland group composed of many large and small tribes.

Ji Li Khan was sitting there, at this moment, he believed the news a little bit.

If the Tang State wants to conquer the grasslands in the north, it must mobilize nearly 20 troops. In addition, it needs 30 to 50 feet. If calculated in this way, it will be nearly [-].

Just eating and drinking for 50 people, two months is an astronomical figure. When the Tang State's treasury is tight, it will be very difficult to squeeze out these...... food and grass.

Chapter 528: Surprise

Although it is said that the Turks suffered repeated defeats and suffered heavy losses, but the Tang Dynasty wanted to go north and defeat the Turks within two months. In the eyes of Ji Li Khan, that was wishful thinking.

He himself is a person who knows military affairs, so he can see clearly what's inside.

In wars, especially such large-scale racial wars, it is impossible for anyone who wants to eliminate anyone to do so overnight.
