Datang Live Room
Chapter 242 Snowball Tactics
The people of the Gorol tribe died and ran away.
There was a lot of food left behind.
More than ten sheep were killed directly, and Yan Kai and the others set up the cauldron they had brought.
It didn't take long for pots of steaming mutton soup to be ready.
There were also a lot of radishes brought in.
Especially when Yan Kai went to look at each pot, he also put a small amount of ginseng powder in it.
A bowl of lamb soup with tortillas or potato pancakes soaked in it.
Everyone ate happily.
I don't even care if it burns my mouth.
Someone finished eating and looked into the pot, and Yan Kai asked someone to bring another one.
Of course, two servings is the limit, and no more will do.
Tell them not to eat too much at one time and that they will still be full at the next meal.
It was already late at night, and the Turks were assigned tents to let them have a good rest.
Yan Kai and the others came to the prisoners.
This time Yan Kai felt as if he was a little indifferent to the life and death of these prisoners.
The Gorol tribe originally had more than 1,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 civilians, and 2,000 Tang Dynasty slaves.
There were more than a thousand casualties in this battle, and maybe two to three hundred people escaped. There were about two thousand Turks left.
Several hundred of them were injured, and there were about a thousand old, weak, women and children.
"How to deal with these people?" Yan Kai asked.
Cheng Huailiang held a spear on the side and said loudly: "Kill all those taller than this spear, and keep those shorter than this."
The eyes of some of the prisoners who were close to him lit up when they heard it. The spear was almost 1.8 meters tall. There were really not many people in the entire tribe who exceeded this height.
As a result, in the next second, Cheng Huailiang loosened his grip and the spear fell to the ground with a thud.
He also went too far and lay down, looking at the Turkic prisoners opposite with his eyes close to the barrel of the gun.
The Turks suddenly became noisy.
This big beard is what people in the Tang Dynasty call the King of Hell!
Well, after being out for so long, Cheng Hualiang, who is only sixteen years old, has already grown a full beard.
Yan Kai glared at him, it was really impossible to kill them all.
Killing soldiers is a two-sided battle, and no one can blame them if they die.
There are so many people here!
"I see that the common people of the Tang Dynasty just now are basically young and strong. Why not give them weapons and let them escort these Turks!"
Li Anyan came up with an idea.
It's still the same principle. In such a harsh environment, someone in poor health would have died long ago.
Those who survive are those who are in good health.
Don't look at them now, they seem to be emaciated and crumbling.
But as long as you keep up with eating and drinking, you can basically recover slowly within a few days.
Yan Kai nodded, this was a good idea.
He has opened many factories now, and fuel has gradually become a big problem.
Wood doesn't burn very efficiently.
It is unscientific to develop oil in this era, so the best fuel is coal.
There are actually many coal mines in Shanxi, which is not far away. Coal mines always need workers. He feels that many Turks here have unique bones, so they are suitable to be sent to work as miners.
They happened to rob the baggage train and so many cattle and sheep.
You definitely don’t have to worry about food.
But without their protection, could these people really escort these prisoners back to the Tang Dynasty?
After thinking about it, several people thought it was a bit impossible.
After all, this place is so far away from the Tang Dynasty, and the entire road is an area actually controlled by the Turks.
Even though these people of the Tang Dynasty were all young and strong, they were mainly engaged in farming and had little ability to ride or shoot.
Let them go on the road alone and encounter a Turkic cavalry of 200 people. I am afraid that what happened to these Turks in a few days will happen.
"Then let's take them!" Yan Kai finally said: "There is a game...forget it, you must have never played it. Anyway, if a small fish keeps eating fish smaller than it, it will eventually get bigger and bigger. The bigger.”
"Now we are taking these two thousand people to attack those small tribes, and then rescue the people of the Tang Dynasty there."
"Snowball!" Cheng Huailiang said with his eyes lit up.
He was still playing when he was bored in the valley a few days ago.
"That's right, it's the snowball tactic!"
Yan Kai said confidently: "It can be seen today that many of the Turkic elites have gone to the tents, and those left behind are the dregs of the war."
"Two hundred of us can fight against thousands of people, and we can still have these common people to hold us back!"
Those common people are not completely devoid of fighting ability.
After all, the Tang Dynasty had a government army system, so there must still be some government soldiers in it. It would be great to let those government soldiers become squad captains and lead the common people who are not very good at fighting to build up momentum!
As long as the snowball can be rolled up, they will only get stronger and stronger if the main Turkic force cannot come back.
Chunyu Zhen listened to Yan Kai's orders.
Li Anyan just wanted to repay the favor and had no objection.
As for Cheng Huailiang, let alone asking him to attack other Turkic tribes, if you ask him to attack the Turkic tents now, he will immediately go up and chop them with a knife.
After capturing a few prisoners, there was no need to torture them. Cheng Huailiang just stepped on the spear that he had just thrown on the ground. The Turks just asked and said whatever they wanted.
Although they are all nomads, they still know what tribes are nearby and their approximate strength.
So a few people analyzed it and found that the persimmon was naturally soft.
First, a small tribe with a population of just over a thousand was selected.
After resting for two days, all the people of Tang Dynasty were organized.
Some of them had served as soldiers and became captains.
They are all young and strong, and there was no one to organize them when they were slaves before.
Now that they have a backbone, these people are willing to fight to return to Datang.
Under the leadership of Yan Kai and others, they went directly to the small tribe.
There were only three hundred warriors in this tribe, and at first they were shouting and charging forward on their horses.
In their opinion their cavalry was invincible!
As a result, more than a hundred people were shot to the ground in one encounter. This was because Yan Kai and the others wanted to retain as many war horses as possible and raised the crossbow machine higher.
If the men were shot first and the horses were shot, more people would probably fall.
Then the army pressed forward. Even though many people in the Tang Dynasty were ordinary people.
I've seen the peasant uprising army before. They can't fight anything else, but they can definitely fight against the wind.
He charged forward with his spear raised.
After a battle, many people saw blood, and their temperaments began to change.
Gather the Turkic prisoners of this small tribe, rescue the people inside, and then immediately move to the next tribe.
In this way, in three months, Yan Kai led his people to fight thousands of miles behind the Turks.
The team has also grown from more than 200 people at the beginning to 14,000 civilians and 8,000 prisoners of war.
At this time, the Turks already knew that a Tang army was moving behind them, but there was nothing they could do.
Because the main force of the Turks was far away, they were beaten so hard that they had no time to worry about themselves.
As for the nearby Turkic tribes, facing Yan Kai's current team, it can be said that there is no one left who can fight.
