The densely packed army surrounded them, and the war horses circled back and forth, peeling off the Turkic warriors who had gathered together to resist desperately, layer by layer.
Arrows continued to rise into the sky, and swarms of Turkic warriors were covered in the rain of arrows. The corpses of men and horses had piled up like a mountain in the center. The arrows were nailed there like wormwood, and blood flowed freely like spring water.
The broken golden wolf flag slowly fell. On the battlefield, the Daizhou Army officers and soldiers wiped out the last group of remaining enemies. They reined in their horses and raised their bloody steel knives one after another. The thunderous cheers shook the sky.
In the final battle, thousands of Turkic warriors, led by Ashina Boyu, launched a frantic attack on the Daizhou Army.
Desperation and the desire for revenge gave them endless courage. Although it seemed to be an extremely stupid move from a strategic perspective, they did retain the last bit of dignity as soldiers.
The elite Daizhou Army did not give them any chance to turn defeat into victory. The victory undoubtedly belonged to the more prepared Daizhou Army.
A big victory, a rare big victory.
The broken golden wolf flag and Ashina Boyu's head were quickly brought to Li Po. Amidst the earth-shattering cheers, Li Po raised the golden wolf flag high. At this moment, the grassland once again appeared.
There were no other sounds except the wild roars of the Daizhou Army officers and soldiers.
What was a fantasy a few years ago became a reality today. Li Po gained a worthless but extremely precious trophy.
Immediately, the army divided into four directions and drove back the fleeing Turkic tribesmen, along with countless cattle, sheep and war horses.
In this battle, Daizhou's army defeated hundreds of thousands of Turkic tribes north of the Yellow Flag Sea, killed the Turkic neighboring Ashina Boyu in formation, and captured countless captives.
On July 24, the army returned to Huangqihai, and without much rest, they immediately set off southward.
"General, aren't we going to Dali City?"
The autumn wind was howling, and the army was like a tide. Countless cattle, sheep, and prisoners of war were surrounded by the army, and they were driven to the south. Yu Chigong and Li Po walked side by side, and finally said something unwillingly.
This time on our journey north to the grasslands, we killed less enemies than anyone else, but the captures we captured were really gratifying. Herds of cattle, sheep, war horses, and more than 80,000 Turkic tribesmen, all of which will be a powerful supplement to the merging of the two states.
It is conceivable that the food shortage in the two states will become a thing of the past, and in the near future, more and more Turkic warriors will appear in the ranks of the army.
And the outcome of this battle will definitely affect the overall direction of the world.
But for people like Yu Chigong, it is inevitable that they will have deep regrets for not being able to visit Dali City.
That's where the Turkic royal court is. If they can surround it with an army, the significance to him and everyone else will be inestimable.
Even decades later, when I am old, I can proudly say to my children, grandchildren, or anyone else that I once led troops to attack the Turks.
At this time, Li Po was like a well-fed wolf, licking his bloody claws and feeling lazy all over.
"If I don't go, I'll kill Kruhu, behead Ashina Boyu, and then attack the Turkic royal court. How will the Turks respond? With the same hatred and hatred, they will definitely gather under the banner of the Golden Wolf and be determined to take revenge."
"It is not easy for our small force to shake the foundation of the Turks by surprise. If we try to make further progress, we will be hit head-on. Why bother?"
"Besides, there have been too many wars this year, and the soldiers are very tired. They need to take a good breather before talking."
Does Yuchi Gong understand these principles? Of course he does, but the temptation of Dali City is too great. With the continuous victory, it can't help but make people have some wild imaginations.
In fact, this was the reason why everyone recommended him to come and ask. Most people knew what the outcome would be, but they just couldn't help it.
In fact, this is the reason why admirals are so rare. When they know that something cannot be done but are eager to do it, many smart people will make mistakes.
Li Po has not yet said the deeper reason that prompted Li Po to return to the army.
The alliance with Princess Yicheng is not strong. If they had gone straight into Dingxiang County and attacked the southern part of Ake, and there were enemies like Kruhu and Ashina Boyu outside, the Daizhou Army that entered Dingxiang County would undoubtedly have been defeated.
Princess Yicheng relied on her to help her.
If we go to Dingxiang County now, it's hard to say what the outcome will be.
In fact, in Li Po's opinion, if they stayed on the grassland for even one more day at this time, the Daizhou Army would be one step closer to danger.
He is no longer interested in knowing what will happen in the Turkic royal court. He just wants to lead his troops back to Daizhou quickly. All temptations are like floating clouds in the face of his own life and death.
In addition, the Daizhou army was fighting to the death outside, using all their strength to continuously defeat Ashina Erivo's tribe, but Her Royal Highness the Princess was sitting in the royal court and only had to act according to the situation.
Is there anything so cheap in the world?
Now is the time to take a look at the skills of Her Royal Highness the Princess. If at this time, even Aker Nan can't deal with it and allows Ashina Erivo to ascend to the position of Turkic Khan, then Princess Yicheng
And why do you brazenly say that you want to be a Turkic Khan?
Of course, as an enemy, Li Po also very much hopes to see Princess Yicheng and Ashina Erivo fight to the death, with both sides losing. Such an ending would be so wonderful.
That is to say, they don't know much about the composition of the Turkic power structure. Otherwise, Li Po would definitely lead his troops at this time to increase Princess Yicheng's power and balance the two unlucky guys.
As the head of two states, he no longer had to explain these messy considerations to others.
As his status increased, although he showed some flaws in governance, his talents in strategizing and leading troops in combat gradually emerged.
Yuchi Gong thumped his chest, "What the general said is that when leading troops in war, one should not be too greedy for merit. This is a true insight, but the general is wrong."
Li Po curled his lips inwardly and said to himself, do you people really think that I am a child? You have to lure me, put good words into my mouth, and then flatter me again. What do you think you guys are doing wrong?
You have to play tricks on me.
Especially this big black man, who threw me into the refugee camp at the gate of Mayi City and almost killed me. At that time, I knew that you were not a good guy.
The day you tease me, I will settle the old and new debts with you, hum.
Yuchi Gong still didn't know that he had never flattered the horse like Bu Qun. The first time he patted the horse gently, it hit the horse's leg. He was really unlucky.
The two of them talked for a few more words, and Li Po seemed to have just remembered, and said respectfully to Yuchi: "By the way, you can take the first step with five thousand soldiers. I want you to lead the troops to Jinyang day and night."
"If you calculate the time, if the Tang army comes north, it will be at the beginning of winter. They cannot attack Jinyang and will definitely attack Yuci. You can lead your troops to see if there is a war. If there is a war, you can take action. If there is no
Regarding the matter, we can station troops in Fenyang and wait until I return to the army."
"Yes, I will obey the order."
On the same day, Yuchi Gong led 5,000 soldiers and horses to go south first. Li Po was not idle either. He ordered the Buqun to temporarily command the army and told him to be careful of the Turks' pursuit.
He himself ordered Xue Wanche and Luo Shixin to each lead a thousand cavalry, leave the brigade and march southwest.
Soon they reunited with the 1,000 men and horses left on the edge of Dingxiang County and headed south along the border of Dingxiang County.
Two days later, Li Po had led his army around Dali City and came to the southeast of Dali City. They passed by the former site of Yunzhong Shouchuo Mansion, and then further south, in the southern part of Yunzhong Grassland, where they spent two days.
Li Po looked at the direction of the stars and based on the mountains, rivers and trees, and finally found a ruins on the grassland that was already overgrown with grass.
More than 3,000 people followed him around like headless flies on the grassland. They were heading south at this moment and might be heading west at the next moment. They almost fainted.
Although the whole army was a little confused, they had no complaints. Li Po, who led them to conquer the north and south, was almost deified in the minds of many of them. Each victory also allowed the soldiers to recognize this wise and powerful warrior.
The image is engraved in my heart.
Even Luo Shixin and Xue Wanche, who looked at the sky and the ground for a while, concentrating on identifying the direction, did not dare to disturb Li Po, thinking that this man wanted to lead them to fight again.
Until Li Po stopped at the ruins, everyone could tell that there should have been a stockade here. More than 3,000 horsemen quietly gathered here. The atmosphere was quite strange, and there were many confused people everywhere.
Li Po waved his hand and ordered the scouts to be released and set up camp on the spot. He entered the ruins, which looked like a small tomb, somewhat distracted.
Every little bit of that year came to mind. After many years, when he thought about it, the years he stayed here, although his life was a bit harder and a little frightening, it was indeed the most peaceful life he had experienced in the past ten years.
a period of time.
It's a pity that someone ruined it.
In these years, even when he was still very weak, he never thought of bowing to the Turks. In addition to thinking that the Turks were foreign enemies, deep down in his heart, he probably also hated these northern barbarians for killing several elders who treated him like brothers and fathers.
The reason for the military lies in it.
This is a deeply hidden memory. It is very precious to him and he has never mentioned it to anyone.
Not far from the stockade, he found the mark he had made when he left.
After he ordered his followers to retreat, he dug out the soil with his own hands using a steel knife, carefully dug out the bones of the three old soldiers, wrapped them in clothes, and placed them on the horse's back and tied them tightly.
Then he started to laugh. His smile was weird, half sad and half happy, and unpredictable. Luo Shixin and Xue Wanche, who had been accompanying him all the time, felt cold on their backs.
I'm afraid they are all thinking about one thing at this time. Manager, are the generals crazy?
Of course, Li Po was not crazy. He returned to his old place without looking back, as if he had no nostalgia. In fact, this military stronghold has always occupied an extremely important position in his life.
As long as he thinks of this, he can be kinder and gentler. As long as he thinks of this, humanity will revive in him. As long as he thinks of this, his cold and hard heart can soften.
What is given to him here is nothing else but warmth...
