"General, we won!"
It was already completely dark.Countless people are still busy on the grassland, counting the spoils.Under Cui Qi's order, the Hu people were a little surprised, and some puzzled dug pits to bury the corpses.According to the habits of the steppe people, the corpse is ignored, or it will be eaten by wild wolves and vultures in two days, which can be described as returning to the embrace of immortality.However, since the general of the Tang Army, who is the suzerain, said to bury the pit, then bury the pit.Hu Ren's throat moved, holding a handful of horseshoe gold that was still stained with mottled blood in both hands, and asked Cui Qi for credit: "General, this is from them, you can see ...... general" "Divide it with your people, this battle is meritorious, except for the war horse and arrows, the rest of the weapons belong to you." ”"Thank you, General!"
Hu was overjoyed.He bowed deeply to Cui Qi, then hurriedly turned around and ran excitedly towards his own people in the distance.One by one, in the darkness, in the light of the fire, their eyes staring at the gold, revealing a greedy gaze."
Wait."
Cui Qi suddenly raised his voice.Hu Ren's heart tightened, but he still had a smile on his face, and turned around and said flatteringly: "What else does the general command?"
”"What's your name?""
I ......"
Hu Ren was stunned at first, and then he was happy, and when he asked for his name, it proved that people value themselves and want to use themselves.He hurriedly shouted in Turkic, and then said in stammering Tang: "My name is Anshi Nazhen." ”"Okay, tomorrow we will divide the troops, and you will follow me.""
Yes!"
An Shi Nazhen puffed up her chest and smiled happily.He doesn't care if he divides the troops or not, but following the boss of the Tang Army, there must be endless benefits.It seems that today's victory is so easy, and the capture is so rich, even if he has been on the grassland for so many years, it is rare.After a few more battles with the Tang Army, I won't have to worry about it in my life.Cui Qi summoned the three captains of his subordinates and discussed the next action.According to Su Dawei's concept, the Tang army needed to annex those small tribes one by one on the grassland according to the map marked.Now that it has basically been realized, next, Mu Kunbu will definitely be furious and will make some moves.In the next step, the Tang army can be broken into pieces.Cui Qi's three gang commanders, each with more than 50 Tang troops, these are the backbone of the army.Then each gang leader led a thousand Hu servant troops, and continued to weave around the grassland, setting fires everywhere.A team of people in the Tang Army can be divided into three soldiers, and three teams of people are nine soldiers.In this way, it is almost impossible for Mu Kunbu to catch the movements of the Tang Army.And as the strength of the Tang Army continues to expand, even more branches can be divided.At that time, the entire southern part of Jinshan will become a battlefield for the Tang Army.That would be a steppe nightmare.Half a month later.In the Western Turkic royal court, Ashina Helu heard the news of the return of his reconnaissance cavalry, and only felt that his eyes were dark.He could barely believe his ears.To the south of Jinshan, it has been attacked by the Tang army, and the situation is erosive."
How so?"
There was a hint of bitterness and disbelief in his voice."
Half a month, less than twenty days from the appearance of the Tang Army, how did it become this step?
What about the Mukunbu?
”"Great Khan ......"
General Hu, who was half-kneeling on the ground, cautiously glanced at Ashina Helu's face, squirmed in his Adam's apple, and said nervously: "Mu Kun is ......"
Mu Kun is defeated.Seven days ago.The Mukun tribe dispatched 25,000 cavalry.With 15,000 people of the Tang army, there was a fierce battle on the steppe.Why is this battle being fought?
It was because the Mukun Department had found out that the real number of the Tang army was not large, and most of them were servants of various small tribes.If the offensive of the Tang army cannot be stopped in time, this fire will sooner or later burn into his own tribe.Therefore, after the Mukun Department had the definite information, they gathered the large army of the clan and advanced towards the Tang army.It's just that the chief of the Mukun tribe made a serious mistake.There are few Tang soldiers, and most of their subordinates are servant troops of small tribes, which is true.But because of this, it was difficult for the army of the Mukun Department to capture the real main force of the Tang Army.In the first battle, Mu Kunbu annihilated 2,000 Tang troops.In the second battle, another thousand people were swallowed.In the third battle, 5,000 Tang troops were scattered and 2,000 were killed or wounded.Just when the Mukun Department fell into the frenzy of victory, at this time, a bad news came - the Tang cavalry rushed for hundreds of miles, led more than 10,000 servant troops, and attacked the Mukun Department.In the tribe, there were only five thousand horsemen left, and they never expected that the Tang army would suddenly appear in the rear.The First World War was destroyed.In a panic, more than 20,000 horsemen of the Mukun Department hurriedly retreated, and on the way, they met the recuperated Tang army.20,000 against 10,000, although the cavalry of the Mukun Department was a little panicked at the beginning, they gradually recovered their decline by virtue of their numerical advantage.But just when the battle was scorching, Tang general Lou Shide led more than 3,000 cavalry to kill from behind the cavalry of the Mukun Division.Forward and backward combos.The Mukun tribe was suddenly in chaos, and the army was defeated like a mountain.In the battle, more than 8,000 horsemen were killed in the battle, and the rest surrendered.The Tang army suffered no more than 3,000 casualties.Added up before and after, the Tang army also suffered 8,000 battle losses, but most of those dead and wounded were Hu servants.The most elite backbone of the Tang Army, the more than 500 cavalry, the establishment is still intact.It was a terrible big win.Mukunbu is the barrier of the Western Turks, which can be said to be the first "city wall" of the Western Turks.Ashina Helu never imagined that Mu Kunbu would be defeated so quickly and so simply.And he didn't even touch the side of Tang Jun.How many people did the Tang army dispatch in this battle?
I don't know.Who is the commander of the Tang Army?
I don't know.How many casualties did the Don Army have?
I don't know.Rumble!
Ashina Helu kicked over several cases in front of him, pressing the golden knife in his hand, and was murderous.Hu Jiang, who was kneeling on the ground, was suddenly frightened and threw himself to the ground, touched the ground with his head, and kowtowed again and again: "Great Khan, Great Khan to calm his anger, take care of your body, Great Khan, temporary gains and losses are nothing, we can gather people and fight again!"
”Ashina Helu stroked his waist knife and was silent.The murderous aura is getting stronger and stronger.General Hu kept kowtowing, knocking his forehead with blood, but he didn't dare to stop.He knew that the Khan had been in a bad mood in the last few days.There are several hundred generals killed alone.Last time, I heard that even the people around the prince were killed, in case the Great Khan was in a bad mood, then his own head was only afraid of ......
When he was panicking in his heart, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind."
Father Khan.""
You're here?"
Ashina Helu snorted: "Huyun, what's the matter with you?"
”"Father Khan, the son has an important military situation, it is better to ......"
After a long pause, he heard Ashina Helu say gloomily: "You, retreat." ”"Xie Da Khan!"
General Hu whimpered gratefully, feeling that he had walked away from the ghost gate.He stood up and saluted, and peeked at Prince Luck.Then he quickly stepped out.He was not at all interested in what Prince Qiyun would say to the Khan, and what he was thinking now was how to find a reason to stay away from the Great Khan, otherwise, sooner or later his head would have to move."
Su Yingzheng.""
Su Shuai!"
Su Dawei held the horizontal knife in his hand and walked past the sergeant.The Tang soldiers beside him spontaneously stood up, or avoided them, and cast reverent glances at him.Twenty-two days.From Su Dawei to take them over the Golden Mountain, to the grassland for twenty-two days.Under Su Dawei's plan, the Tang army attacked in all directions, with only 500 Tang troops, and successively annexed more than 80 small and medium-sized tribes in the grassland.Gather the servant army, more than 20,000 people.Then, a few days ago, he fought a decisive battle with the largest tribe south of Jinshan, the Mukun Tribe.There are more than 50,000 people in the Mukun Department and 30,000 people who control the strings.It is the regional overlord of the southern steppe.Here, sometimes the words of the Western Turkic Khan are not as effective as the Mukun Tribe.At the beginning, everyone, including Lou Shide and Wang Xiaojie in the Tang Army, had little confidence in the decisive battle with Mu Kunbu.Because at that time, the Tang army plus the servants was only 18,000 people, and it was a miscellaneous mess.And the 30,000 horsemen of the Mukun Department can be called a strong and quiet force.Among the three armies of the Western Turkic Lion, Wolf, and Eagle, it can be called the second level of wolf.According to the combat power, the Turks called the core of the 50,000 horsemen who guarded the royal court the lion horse.Equipped with the finest iron arrows, armed with iron armor, the best horned bows, the best scimitars, transverse knives, and Arabian horses.There is a heavily armored wolf guard subordinate to the Khan.With this force, 50,000 can resist more than 100,000 people from the rest of the tribes.The second level is called the wolf ride.The strength of the wolf rider is second only to the khan's lion rider, with a 60% armor rate, and the equipment is slightly inferior to the lion rider.It is the elite of the five clans of the five surnames of the subordinate Khan, the tribe of the Khan, the Mi, the Yue, the Gusu, the Qarluq, and the Crossbow.There were 80,000 horsemen in all.Then the third level is the Eagle Horse, which is made up of satellite tribes on the outskirts of the Western Turks.These tribes have a slightly lower armor rate of three or four percent, and they are also equipped with a variety of equipment, but by virtue of occupying land with abundant water and grass and abundant food, they often participate in hunting and military operations.They rode the best Turkic horses with the best patience for long distances, turning like the wind and shooting arrows like rain.It was a light cavalry of the Western Turks.Every time the Western Turks invaded the Tang border, they recruited these servants.No matter how you look at it, the strength of the third-rank Eagle Cavalry of the Mukun Department is completely crushing the miscellaneous army.The servants looted by the Tang Dynasty in ten or twenty days to capture the small tribe were far inferior to the Mukun Department in terms of numbers, equipment and will to fight.No one is optimistic about this battle.But Su Dawei insisted on fighting this battle.Everyone is driven by him to act according to his plan.Even Ashina Daozhen, who trusted Su Dawei the most, was hanging in his heart before the war officially started.But the result ......
Victory in the First World War.Of the 30,000 horsemen of the Mukun Division, more than half were killed and wounded, and the rest surrendered.The Tang Army's battle completely established the battle situation in the south of Jinshan.Unless the Western Turks lead the main army to conquer in person, otherwise, in this steppe, there is now only one master, and that is the Tang army.After this battle, the Tang army's respect for Su Dawei reached its peak.Including Lou Shide and Wang Xiaojie, they kept reviewing Su Dawei's plans in private, and finally found that this was not something that could be achieved by a single tactic.It must have been from the beginning of entering this grassland, from the beginning of the conquest of the first tribe, that he began to prepare for a battle with the Mukun Tribe.Countless actions and plans are only one part of the grand strategy.In the end, the result that everyone saw was that Mu Kunbu fell.Su Dawei relied on three teams of Tang troops and more than 500 people to gain a firm foothold on the grassland.This record, I am afraid that only the former champion Hou Huo went to the rear of the Huns to go thousands of miles to get sick, which can be compared.()
