"How long has it been since Pioneer sent someone to report the news?"
Sitting on the horse, Nu Jie felt a little uneasy and asked Captain Zuo, who was in charge of intelligence next to him.
Captain Zuo said: "It's been almost an hour."
"Why did it take so long?"
Nu Jie frowned.
At this time, Captain Zuo opened his mouth and looked forward, with a stupid look that made Nu Jie stunned.
He followed Captain Zuo's gaze and saw countless vultures flying and circling over the small basin in front of him, a dense black mass.
There was a scene, and the sound of croaking came from a distance, which made people feel terrified.
The ominous premonition was finally confirmed.
Everyone's expressions changed.
Several Xiren cavalry galloped towards the small basin at high speed.
Not long after, they saw a horseman turning around.
The man reported to Nujie with a depressed expression: "Big Khan, the entire vanguard army was wiped out in the small basin ahead.
According to the investigation, the Tang army just left not long ago."
Nu Jie didn't care about anything and immediately galloped towards the small basin, with the five thousand cavalry behind him also speeding up to follow him.
As Nu Du rode his horse into the small basin, all the scenes inside came into view.
There were corpses all over the ground, and blood had infected the entire grassland.
There were swords, guns and arrows stuck on human corpses and horse corpses, and they were stuck diagonally on the ground.
The small pennant on the flagpole among the corpses was still burning.
Some war horses were not dead yet, lying on the ground and making sad neighs.
The croaking vultures and crows began to fly down from the sky to pick out the corpses that rotted the fastest to eat.
They were not afraid of humans at all.
For the grassland, they were Cleaners and garbage collectors.
Nu Jie jumped off his horse.
The corpses were spread all over the grass, making it impossible for him to step down.
He had no choice but to step on the corpses and move forward step by step.
The vultures and crows that were eating the corpses along the way were frightened and flew up one after another.
The great wizard who came from behind seemed to be covered with death energy.
He staggered to Nu Jie's side and said: "Great Khan, everything about us is under the control of Zhao Ziliang.
He has set a trap, and every step of the way...
He will lead us into it step by step, consuming our strength bit by bit.
We can no longer let him lead us by the nose.
Now we should immediately slaughter all the cattle and sheep and turn them into butcher shops, and then move north as quickly as possible. , only after crossing the Dule River is it safe.”
Everyone was angry and shocked: "Slaughter all the cattle and sheep.
If there are no cattle and sheep, the great wizard, we will eat and drink whatever we want.
We will starve to death."
The great wizard shouted: "Great Khan, we can rob again if the cattle and sheep are gone, but now these cattle and sheep are dragging us down, we must get out of the Tang army's attack range as quickly as possible.
The Tang army's tactics this time are difficult to start with." , we wanted to fight, but they scattered and retreated.
We could not stop where we were.
After chasing us, they came again to harass us, constantly consuming our strength, and making us unable to defend ourselves.
Before we found a way to deal with their tactics, we could not continue to fight them, otherwise we could only It’s a dead end, Khan, give the order, don’t hesitate any longer.”
Nu Jie was still a little hesitant: "At first, we have not taken revenge.
If we withdraw now, many people will be dissatisfied."
But the great wizard said solemnly: "Kill anyone who refuses to obey.
It's already a critical moment for the life and death of the whole clan.

How can we care about the death of so many people?
It's better than the whole clan being destroyed.
There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that the green hills are left behind." , don’t be afraid of running out of firewood, don’t hesitate anymore, give the order.”
Nu Jie finally gave up under the persuasion of the great wizard.
He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Send an order to the whole army to immediately slaughter all the cattle and sheep and make them into meat shops and distribute them to every soldier.
Tomorrow, we will set off to retreat north.
Anyone who dares to object will be killed." amnesty" Dozens of centurions and soldiers who were dissatisfied that Nu Jie did not allow them to take revenge were quickly arrested and beheaded in public.
With the support of the great wizard, Nu Jie's orders were completely implemented, and no one else dared to do so.
When it comes to revenge again, the most important thing is to escape.
Xi Ren's movements were quickly detected by the Tang Army's reconnaissance cavalry, and the news reached Zhao Ziliang.
After seeing the information, Zhao Ziliang asked someone to convey orders to Zhang Shouyu, asking Zhang Shouyu's left army to be divided into several groups and keep attacking the people who were escaping north.
The tail of the Nudu Department will harass and attack.
Once the Nudu Department After sending troops and horses to fight, this Tang army would lure away the Xi people who were fighting, and another Tang army would continue to harass them.
If Nujiu sent out another army to fight, the harassing troops would lure away the Xi people who were fighting, and try to find a way to lure away the Xi people.
Kill all the Xi people, thereby achieving the purpose of continuously weakening the Xi people.
If the Xi people ignored them, Zhang Shouyu would keep sending people to harass them, causing the Xi people to slow down their marching speed and prevent them from taking a good rest, thus wearing down them.
Xi Ren had no way to deal with this kind of guerrilla tactics of the Tang army, and he could not think of a way to deal with this kind of guerrilla tactics.
In just a few days, Nu Jie's men lost two thousand people, leaving only three thousand people.
This made Nu Jie and the Great Wizard feel chilly in their hearts.
Zhao Ziliang was leading his army to quickly pursue the Nudu tribe.
During the march that day, he received a message from Zhang Shouyu.
After reading it, he was overjoyed and said to the general beside him: "Hahaha, Nudu has five thousand men.
In just three days, Zhang Shouyu swallowed up two thousand people in one day.
If this rate continues, it will only take a few days for the ridicule to be over."
The generals all laughed when they heard the good news.
In fact, on the grasslands, it is the nomadic tribes that can exert the greatest power of guerrilla tactics.
They are very familiar with the climate and mountain topography of the grasslands.
They are all cavalry, can move very quickly, and have a broad mass base.
However, they are angry.
None of them understand guerrilla tactics, and Zhao Ziliang has already killed all the nomadic tribes on this grassland, and Nuji has also lost its mass base.
Zhao Ziliang knew very well that in order to use guerrilla tactics and exert its power, the army must have iron discipline and tenacious fighting will.
This is the first point.
Although the Hedong Army is still a little bit behind in Zhao Ziliang's eyes, This tactic can be used reluctantly.
The second point is that there must be a broad mass base that can provide cover and provide sufficient supplies and food. purpose, at this point, the Tang army had no advantage, so Zhao Ziliang ordered to kill all the nomadic tribes he encountered, so that the Xi people had no mass base.
Everyone was in the same fair environment, and Zhao Ziliang ordered the captured cattle in advance All the sheep were taken away, and some of them were made into butcher shops and used as food.
In this way, the purpose of having sufficient food reserves and supplies was achieved.
Regarding guerrilla tactics, Gao Xiuyan, Zhang Shouyu and others had only scratched the surface.
Zhao Ziliang did not teach them all the essence.
Once the environment was changed, their guerrilla tactics would probably not achieve the purpose and effect of the operation.
This was Zhao Ziliang's intention.
To guard against them, after all, according to the original history, Gao Xiuyan later joined An Lushan.
The Xi people made a temporary camp, inside Nu Du's tooth tent.
At his wits' end, Nujiu kept walking back and forth in the big tent with his sword in hand.
The losses in recent days made him exhausted mentally and physically.
After walking back and forth for several times, he stopped and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Does God really want to destroy our Xiren tribe?

" In the big tent, several thousand captains and centurions had almost lost their fight and courage.
The tactics of the Tang army were really rogue.
They did not fight head-on, but ran away after being hit.
They also kept sending people to harass them, which made them miserable.
People couldn't sleep at night, and for several days, even these captains and centurions looked tired and had dark circles under their eyes.
At this time, the great wizard finally spoke: "Great Khan, since the Tang army attacked us by breaking into pieces, we can also use the method of breaking into pieces to quickly disperse and escape.
Whoever escapes to the Dule River first will cross the river first.
After crossing the river, meet at the north bank.”
Nu Jie's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said: "Yes, we can also use the method of breaking the whole into parts to deal with the Tang army."
The great wizard immediately objected: "Great Khan, don't be too whimsical.
How can you deal with the Tang Army in pieces?
The Tang Army has plenty of food and grass in their hands, but we don't.
The Tang Army's combat effectiveness is not worse than ours, and it is even better than us.
They robbed it." grassland They have enough war horses to carry out high-speed maneuvers.
We each have only one horse now, and there is no way we can catch up with the Tang army.
The Great Khan should give up this idea and break the men into pieces as soon as possible.
Rush to the north and cross the river.”
The great wizard's words broke Nu Jie's last spine.
He sat down on the big chair and sighed: "Everyone has heard it.
Go back and give the order.
In groups of ten, the whole army will be dispersed and each will advance north.
If you encounter the Tang army, fight if you can beat it.
If you can't beat it, run away.
When you get to the Dule River, don't hesitate and cross the river quickly."
In this case, this was the only way, and Xi Ren quickly took action.
Xi Ren's actions could not be concealed from the detection of the Tang Army's reconnaissance sentries.
The news quickly spread to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang's army was less than fifty miles away from Xi Ren.
However, now that Xi Ren dispersed and fled north, it did bring Zhao Ziliang A certain amount of trouble, but this is not difficult for Zhao Ziliang.
After looking at the information in his hand, Zhao Ziliang's eyes flickered, and after a while he said to Bo Lehan and others: "Unexpectedly, Xi Ren has learned to be smart and knows that the attack will be much less if you break it into pieces.
Send an order to Zhang Shouyu and do everything possible."
Intercept and kill the small group of taunters" Brahan agreed: "No" Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and looked at Guo Ziyi who was standing next to him, "Guo Ziyi, you lead five hundred people to guard the wounded and protect the cattle, sheep and horses, and follow me.
The others will bring ten days of dry food and drinking water and follow this general in light clothing."
Arrive at Dule River quickly” All the generals stood up and saluted with fists clasped together and said: "No" The Dule River is the dividing line between Khitan and Tongluo.
To the south of the Dule River is the Khitan territory, to the north of the Dule River is the Tongluo territory, and to the northeast of Tongluo is the territory of the Pugu tribe.
The Pugu tribe has existed for more than a hundred years.
He had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty before and paid tribute every year.
The current leader of the Pugu tribe is Pugu Huai'en's father.
Further north from Tongluo, the Guligan tribe lives around the shores of Lake Baikal
