Northwest of Lantian County, outside Dachang Pass at the end of the Danshui water transport. As the army of Shatuo came from the north of Yinshan Mountain, the only fruit left is Ashina Sili, the little leader of the other part of the Turkic tribe. He was so bored that he rode a horse and walked in, and he kept drinking under the hotter sun. water.
In the distance is a herd of cattle and horses being grazing. Driven by the mixed herder slaves, these animals have been constantly using fields one after another, and the young crops unattended in them are eaten together with the overgrown weeds; and One piece after another was left a bare field full of hoof prints.
Of course, although his surname is Ashina, he is actually related to those who have been conquered by the Tang Dynasty and naturalized as the surname Li, who have been eating and waiting to die for generations in the city of Chang’an. The descendants of the Turkic and post-Turkic kings Far apart
His ancestor was nothing more than a small chieftain who brought his tribe to follow speculation when Hou Junji conquered Gaochang. It was just that he was lucky not only to make credit, but also to be rewarded as a noble daughter of the Kou clan of the Gaochang royal family.
Later, when Hou Jun gathered his class, his department was assigned to the first loyal dog of the Tang Dynasty who built a tent in the old Dingxiang city (now Inner Mongolia and Linger)—the King of Huaihua, General Youwu Hou, and Yimi Ni. Under the command of Limi Khan Asinasmo, he thought of the city and Ping Fan for generations.
Later, Ashinasimo was dissatisfied because of the chaos of his subordinates, so he invited himself to the emperor of the court. Before leaving, there was a lot of support for those who still attached themselves to the tents. Among them, the leader of Yuhu also received the surname of Ashina, which has been inherited from generation to generation.
Only in this generation, in the old days, it was one of the ten arrow tribes of the Dingxiang Khan’s tooth tent, with thousands of armours and tens of thousands of strings. There are only hundreds of riders left, thousands of young and strong; Relying on the Shatuo Sager family who was born in the moon, he gave a little corner to survive.
Therefore, this time Shatuo from the six states and three tribes headed by the Zhu Xie clan came from the court to conquer the thieves. The Yuhu department where he was located was also Ding Zhuang. Chang received the title of returning to Germany.
Of course, most people, including the small leader Ashina Sili, who owns seventeen tents, are planning to imitate the story of the ancestors from the collection of the princes, and get enough rewards and captures; and This became an opportunity for the rise of Yuhubu.
It's just that the ideal under normal circumstances is beautiful, but the reality is cruel; the noble surname from Ashina can't change the fact that they are vassals of others, and even a few decent iron armors can't make up the facts.
Therefore, they are not eligible to be included in the army establishment of the Nine Provinces of Anqing, the Ten Prefectures of Shatuo, or the Eight Prefectures of Sag in the order of conquest, and they can only be used as an auxiliary for guarding the herd and transporting supplies. The strength is first-rate.
(The so-called mansion refers to the military mobilization system used in the military tents of Jilin and Chengbang according to the military system of the early Tang Dynasty; according to the size of the military mansion (hundreds-thousands), these troops are dispatched and dispatched. , The basis of righteousness.)
Therefore, when the athletes of the three tribes of Shatuo are galloping on the battlefield, and there is no way to charge and kill the enemy, they can only be more of the children behind, waiting for the result with other miscellaneous members. ；
Even the chance to clean the battlefield afterwards was given priority to those from the Tartar Tribe outside the mountain; when they came on the field, only the plucked bare bodies were left to be buried.
Therefore, this situation continued after entering the customs. When others can move and camp on the banks of the river, enjoying the shade of the trees and the refreshing water of the river, Ashina Sili can only guard the herd brought to the gate with the army here.
Because the Han area in the south is obviously hotter than Daibei, these large and small animals must also have enough space and exercise capacity, as well as grazing and eating to reduce the probability of epidemics.
However, Ashina Sili's mood at the moment is indeed heavy and depressed. Because he had just received the news, three more members of the Yuhu tribe had died, and they died quietly on an unfamiliar land. One of them was a playmate he had known since childhood.
In all kinds of battles to make meritorious service or to plunder, they were always not able to turn to them; but among the various kinds of labor, he was one of the few conscripts who had fallen ill and tired one after another because of inconsistent water and soil or other symptoms. Dozens of people fell down.
Among the grassland people who believe in a certain kind of natural selection of survival philosophy, the possibility of these people wanting to be rescued is very slim; their only choice is to survive on their own will and physique, or be treated as The potential source of the epidemic was discarded.
Ashina Sili felt more bored as he thought about it, and the pace of his horse became more and more sluggish. He was sweaty and he slapped his nose a few times; obviously, he couldn't hold it anymore. He could not help but ride his horse to the Mingdu Spring, the nearest water source that doubles as a camp.
It’s just that he hadn’t walked far before he saw a small group of officers and soldiers wearing black embroidered robes and silver mountain pattern armor, and wearing ear helmets; he couldn’t help but bowed his head to the side of the road. But he couldn't stop and asked him loudly and proudly:
"Er is the support of the Shatuo Sagar Ministry..."
"The villain is just... dare to ask the army master what he has to order"
Ashina Sili couldn't help but replied in stuttering Tang dialect,
"Quickly lead me to the main formation of the Sager Ministry, there is an emergency military information..."
The headed Jianbi said in an impatient tone:
"Yes, the villain dare not conceal it. The head of the Sager Ministry (Mihaiwan)'s account was eaten near Duqu Township..."
Ashina Sili turned his mind and quickly cut his voice:
"Please also the villain and lead the way for your official one or two..."
However, the other party only looked at him deeply and kicked his heart before he uttered like golden words:
"And lead the way..."
So it took a short period of time. After Ashina Sili personally led the way through the checkpoint, the Shatuo people stretched across the entire Duqu township and extended out a camp where the horses and horses neighed, and the flames painted in the center. The flag and the silver bird with the human face are huge, and they are also watching.
"The villain can only be delivered here, just..."
And Ashinasili couldn't help but stop, and begged to the fellow officer and army general Bian Wan:
"Please be able to mention the bad names of one or two villains in order to get a chance to serve before the battle..."
"It's easy to say..."
The man couldn't help but hesitated, then exchanged a color with the left and right, and replied in a deep voice:
At this time, the battalion of Sager's headquarters finally reacted, and from the wide open door, a group of knights in fur hats and armor rushed out, and directly greeted:
"Why, does the mate in the city mean anything...have you just dispatched soldiers and horses?"
However, seeing that these officials lined up immediately, they immediately took out a tube of objects, and all of them emitted ping-pong smoke, and immediately knocked down the welcoming Saga knights. Half of them; they flew into the wrong horse and chopped down and poked the remaining fish that slipped through the net.
Then he shouted to kill and rushed towards the camp gate not far away; at this time, the stunned soldier Shatuo reacted in an uproar, and amidst the chaotic shouts and curses of the bombing camp, The "official army" rushed to culminate in this counter-attack.
However, after successfully dispersing the feudal soldiers near the camp gate, this officer did not continue the assault but fell down on the spot, using the mount as a cover to continue to emit a puff of fireworks, and approached Zao to the outpost and The archer on the edge of the barrier knocked to the ground.
Then he took out some chubby things from the saddlebag, and threw them at the place where there were many soldiers from the feudal clan who came back and forth. Suddenly, amidst the deafening roar and the smoke, he exploded a large amount of sand. The human body in the neighborhood overturned and fell to the ground.
The Shatuo clan soldiers who had suffered such a blow turned out to be horrified and inexplicably disintegrated and fled all around; then, they no longer had the opportunity to assemble and continue to counterattack.
Because in the smoke and dust from the place, there were thousands of horses galloping at one time, under the guidance of the Taiping Qingqi raised high in the air, like a rolling tide, just in a few moments. It completely submerged the Sha Tuo soldiers outside the camp.
Then, before they were about to hit the camp fence and reject the horse, they quickly diverted away and rushed to the two sides; then more follow-up pawns stopped and jumped off the horse, and then followed the occupied place. At the camp gate, swords, guns, bows and guns all attacked and slammed in.
At the other end of the camp, fierce shouts of killing and neighing of horses and horses broke out. It was the Taiping horse team that went around first. The Sha Tuo soldiers at the other end of Duqu Township began to fight and attack. Up.
And Ashinasili, who was temporarily forgotten, was completely dumbfounded. Why would I want to ask for some guidance for advancement opportunities, it would be the beginning of the attack and attack on the headquarters of Sager
After a while, the flame-flameed Fanluoqi and the human-faced silver bird in the camp were suddenly destroyed and broken by a leather cannon mounted by the Taiping Army on the fence;
Suddenly, the Shatuo soldiers of Zagbu, who were struggling to fight on their own under the orders of their leaders and relying on the obstacles between the camps, suddenly uttered a scream of tears and disintegration, and began to gather in groups. Pushing down the horse, cutting off the fence, and fleeing.
After that, he hadn't escaped far, and as the detached mount, Ashinasili, who fell and rolled to the ground, also raised his sword and spear to catch up with the Taiping soldiers, and threw his five bodies into the mud and screamed. Road:
"It's forgiving, I would like to surrender,"
With the success of this group of people and horses assaulting Duqu Town; at the same time, the various people who rushed out from Dachangguan, Lantianyu, and Lantian county towns were like branches that grew rapidly in the south of Gyeonggi.
In the direction of the arrow of the rolling attack, the strongholds and stations representing the official army camps between the wilderness and the mountains were erased and replaced one after another. (End of this chapter)
