Chapter 91 The Sweeping Situation
"General, we won!"
It was completely dark.
Countless people were still busy on the grassland, counting the spoils.
Under Cui Qi's order, the Hu people were a little surprised and dug a hole to bury the body in confusion.
According to the habits of grassland people, the corpse is ignored and will be eaten by wild wolves and vultures in two days. It can be said that it is returning to the embrace of the Heaven of Eternity.
But since the Tang army general, as the sect leader, said that he would bury the pit, then bury the pit.
The Hu man squeaked his throat, holding a handful of horse hoof gold with mottled blood in both hands, and asked Cui Qi for credit: "General, this was found from them. General, you see..."
"Let's separate from your tribe. This battle has been made contributions. Except for the horses and arrows, the other weapons of war belong to you."
"Thank you, General!"
The Hu people were overjoyed.
He bowed deeply to Cui Qi, then turned around and ran excitedly towards his tribe members in the distance.
The people of the tribe were in the dark, under the light of the fire, their eyes were staring at the gold, revealing greedy eyes.
"etc."
Cui Qi suddenly sounded.
Hu Ren's heart tightened, and his face was still smiling, and he turned around and said in a flattering manner: "What are the general's instructions?"
"May I have your name?"
"I..." Hu was stunned at first, then he was happy. When asked about his name, it proved that he valued himself and wanted to use himself.
He hurriedly shouted in Turkic language, and then said in a stuttering Tang language: "My name is Anshinazhen."
"Okay, we will divide the troops tomorrow, so you will follow me."
"yes!"
Anshinazhen raised her chest and smiled happily on her face.
He doesn't care whether he divides his troops or not, but following the boss of the Tang army will definitely have endless benefits.
It seems that he won so easily today and seized such a rich harvest, even if he has been on the grassland for so many years, it is rare.
If you follow the Tang army to fight a few good fights, you will never have to worry about this life.
Cui Qi brought his three mates and discussed the next action.
According to Su Dawei's idea, the Tang army needed to annex the small tribes one by one on the grassland and according to the map.
Now it has basically been realized. Next, the Mukun tribe will definitely be furious and will make some moves.
The next step is that Tang Jun can break it into pieces.
Cui Qi's three gang leaders, each with more than 50 Tang soldiers, were the backbone of the army.
Then each gang leader led a thousand Hu servants and continued to wander around the grassland and set fires everywhere.
A group of Tang troops can divide three soldiers, and three soldiers are nine soldiers.
In this way, it was almost impossible for the Mukun tribe to seize the Tang army's movements.
Moreover, as the Tang army's strength continued to expand, more branches could even be distributed.
By then, the entire south of Jinshan would become the battlefield of the Tang army.
That would be a nightmare for the grassland people.
Half a month later.
When the Western Turkic royal court, Asina Helu heard the news of his cavalry's return, he felt that the eyes were dark.
He could hardly believe his ears.
The south of Kings Mountain has been attacked by the Tang army, and the situation is corrupt.
"How could this happen?"
There was a hint of bitterness and disbelief in his voice.
"In half a month, after the Tang army appeared, in less than twenty days, how did it become this step? Where is the Mukun tribe?"
"Sweat..."
The Hu general who was half-kneeling on Hu's ground looked carefully at Asina Helu's face, his Adam's apple squirmed for a moment, and said nervously: "Mukun..."
Mukun's tribe was defeated.
Seven days ago.
The Mukun tribe dispatched 25,000 cavalrymen.
Fierce battles broke out with 15,000 Tang troops on the grassland.
Why did this battle be fought?
It is because the Mukun tribe has discovered that the Tang army is not really large, and most of them are servants of various small tribes.
If the Tang army's offensive cannot be stopped in time, this fire will sooner or later burn into its own tribe.
Therefore, after the Mukun tribe obtained the certain information, he launched all the army of the tribe and advanced to the Tang army.
It was just that the chief of the Mukun tribe made a serious mistake.
There are few soldiers in Tang, and most of them are servants of small tribes, which is right.
But for this reason, it was difficult for the Mukun army to capture the real main force of the Tang army.
In the first battle, Mukun's troops wiped out two thousand Tang troops.
In the second battle, another thousand people were swallowed.
In the third battle, five thousand Tang troops were defeated and two thousand killed.
Just as Mukun tribe was in the craze for victory, at this time, a bad news came-
The Tang army cavalry rushed to a hundred miles and led more than 10,000 servants to attack Mukun's troops.
There were only five thousand cavalry left in the tribe, and I never expected that the Tang army would suddenly appear in the rear.
A war was wiped out.
In a panic, more than 20,000 cavalry of Mukun's army retreated in a hurry. On the way, they met the Tang army who was raising their energy.
At first, although the cavalry of the Mukun tribe was a little panicked, they gradually recovered their decline with their numerical advantage.
But just when the battle was in a state of anxiety, Tang general Lou Shide led more than 3,000 cavalry out from behind the Mukun cavalry.
Joint attacks from the front and back.
The Mukun tribe was suddenly in chaos and was defeated like a mountain of defeat.
In this battle, more than 8,000 cavalry were killed in the battle, and the rest of them all surrendered.
The Tang army suffered more than 3,000 cavalry deaths and injuries.
In total, the Tang army suffered 8,000 losses in combat, but most of the casualties were Hu servants.
The most elite backbone of the Tang army, the more than 500 cavalry, is still intact.
This is a terrible victory.
The Mukun tribe is the barrier of the Western Turks, and can be said to be the first "city wall" of the Western Turks.
Asuna Helu never thought that the Mukun tribe would be defeated so quickly and so simply.
But I didn't even touch the Tang army's side.
How many people did the Tang army dispatch this battle?
have no idea.
Who is the chief general of the Tang army?
Not clear.
How many casualties were the Tang army?
Don't know.
boom!
Asina Helu kicked over the several cases in front of him with one kick, pressing the golden knife in his hand, making him feel murderous.
The Hu general kneeling on the ground was immediately frightened and hit the ground with his head, kowtowed repeatedly: "Sweat, sweat a lot, calm down, take care of your health, sweat a lot, gains and losses are nothing, we can summon people and fight again!"
Asina Helu stroked his waist and kept silent.
The murderous aura became stronger and stronger.
General Hu kept kowtowing, making his forehead dripping bloody, but he didn't dare to stop.
He knew that he had a bad mood in recent days.
There were several hundred generals killed just by killing them.
Last time I heard that even the prince was killed. If I was in a bad mood when sweating, I would be afraid of the head on my neck...
Just as I was panicking, I suddenly heard a familiar voice sounding from behind.
"Father Khan."
"Is it you here?"
Asuna Helu groaned: "Yuyun, what's your business?"
"Father Khan, son ministers have important military information, so it is better to..."
After a long time of stopping, he heard Ashina Helu say gloomyly: "You, retreat."
"Thank you!"
General Hu whimpered with gratitude and felt like he had walked around the gate of hell.
He stood up and saluted, and took a peek at Prince Yuyun.
Then he quickly retreated.
He was not interested in what Prince Yuyun would say to Khan. What he was thinking now was how could he find a reason to stay away from Dahan? Otherwise, sooner or later his head would be moving.
"Su Yingzheng."
"Ship Su!"
Su Dawei held the horizontal knife in his hand and walked past the sergeant.
The Tang soldiers around him stood up spontaneously, or avoided them, and cast a respectful look at him.
Twenty-two days.
From Su Dawei to the grassland, he took them over the Jinshan Mountain and to the grassland for twenty-two days.
Under Su Dawei's plan, the Tang army attacked everywhere, and with only 500 Tang troops, they successively annexed more than 80 small and medium-sized tribes in the grassland.
The minion army was gathered, with more than 20,000 people.
Then a few days ago, he fought a decisive battle with the Mukun tribe, the largest tribe in the south of Jinshan.
There were more than 50,000 people from Mukun’s ministry and 30,000 people who controlled the strings.
It is the regional overlord of the southern grassland.
Here, sometimes the Western Turkic Khan is not as effective as the Mukun tribe.
At the beginning, everyone, including Lou Shide and Wang Xiaojie in the Tang army, had no confidence in the decisive battle with Mukun's tribe.
Because at that time, the Tang army had only 18,000 servants, and they were all sorts of miscellaneous cards.
The 30,000 cavalry of the Mukun tribe can be called a quiet journey.
Among the Western Turkic lions, wolves and eagles, they can be called the second-level wolf level.
According to the combat power, the Turks called the 50,000 cavalry that guarded the royal court the most core, the lion cavalry.
It is equipped with the most exquisite iron arrows, iron armor, good horn bows, good scimitars, horizontal swords, and Arabian foals.
There is a heavy armored wolf guard who is affiliated with Khan.
With this power, 50,000 people can block more than 100,000 people from the other tribes.
The second-level one is called the wolf rider.
The wolf rider's strength is second only to the Khan's lion rider, with a armor-wielding rate of 60%, and its equipment is slightly inferior to that of the lion rider.
They are the elites of the five tribes that obey the Khans, including Chumi, Chuyue, Gusu, Gelulu, and Bibi.
There are 80,000 riders in total.
Then the third level is the Eagle Cavalry, which is composed of satellite tribes guarding the outer periphery of the Western Turks.
The elite tribes had a slightly lower armor rate, at 30% or 40%, and had a variety of equipment. However, by occupying a land of abundant water and grass and abundant food, they often participated in hunting and military operations.
They rode the Turkic horses with the best long-distance patience, turning in like the wind and shooting arrows like rain.
It is a light cavalry guarding the Western Turks.
Every time the Western Turks invade the border of the Tang Dynasty, they recruited these servants.
No matter from any perspective, the third-class Eagle Knight in the Mukun tribe is completely overwhelming the miscellaneous army.
The servants plundered by the Tang Dynasty for more than ten or twenty days were far inferior to the Mukun tribe in terms of number of people, equipment and combat will.
No one is optimistic about this battle.
But Su Dawei insisted on fighting this battle.
Driven by him, everyone acted according to his plan.
Even Ashina Daozhen, who trusts Su Dawei the most, was in his heart before the war officially started.
But the result...
One battle was successful.
The 30,000 cavalry of Mukun's tribe were killed and injured, and the rest of them all surrendered.
This battle of the Tang army completely laid the foundation for the battle situation south of Jinshan.
Unless the Western Turks led the main army to fight in person, there is only one master on this grassland, that is, the Tang army.
After this battle, the Tang army and the others respected Su Dawei to the pinnacle.
Including Lou Shide and Wang Xiaojie, they kept reviewing Su Dawei's plans in private, and finally found that this could not be achieved by a single tactic.
It must have been from entering this grassland and from the conquest of the first tribe, we began to prepare for a battle with the Mukun tribe.
Countless actions and planning are just one part of the grand strategy.
The final result that everyone saw was the fall of Mukun's tribe.
Su Dawei insisted on three teams of Tang troops and more than 500 people in his hands, and gained a firm foothold on the grassland.
