Chapter two hundred and seventy-five the wind and the horns bow
The grass is withered and the eagle's eyes are fast, and the horse's hooves are light when the snow is exhausted.
After several days of continuous snow, it finally cleared up. The snow had just melted, the wind was long and the vast earth showed countless green and yellow.
On the southern foot of the mountain called Yabulai, an iron-armored knight stationed in Gaogang, looking ahead.
This knight was Li Yao. At this moment, she wore a fox velvet, a black scarf, a wolf's skin cloak, a double sword on her waist, and two strong bows with one long and one short. She had four arrow pouches in front and back of the saddle. She was inserted straight on the rock and soil next to the side of the war horse, and was armed to the teeth.
A falcon hovered back in the blue sky, and soon fell steadily on Li Yaoping's raised left arm.
Li Yao fed a piece of mutton to the Falcon, then waved behind him, and immediately appeared beside her.
Li Yao looked at a long-standing falcon in the distance, and raised a cold smile on the corner of his lips and said, "Send the order, finish the rest, prepare to attack."

...
On the horizon, a large group of people were driving countless cattle and sheep and hundreds of ox carts slowly towards the southwest.
Among these people, except for a few nomadic warriors with different armor and holding crude weapons, most of the others are elderly, weak, women and children.
Their ox carts have high wheels and a wide frame. They are equipped with a tent on them, which can be used to carry food, grass and groceries, and can also help people avoid wind, sand, rain and snow. Because this cart, which originated in the Han Dynasty, was promoted by the Tiel people, was habitually called "Leel cart" by the herdsmen of the grassland tribes.
The Lele train can be connected in series, and a driver can drive several or even dozens of trains at the same time, like a trackless train driving on the vast land, one after another, endless. In addition, the surrounding cattle and sheep are gathering, moving forward in unison. From a distance, the scene is quite spectacular.
The leader of this team, Asunabeqi, was in the felt tent of one of the lords.
As an official sent by Jie Li Khan to Langshan tribe to supervise and manage agriculture and animal husbandry affairs, Wuqi felt very stressed.
Because he was beaten by Huangshanzhai and the unidentified Tang army last year, he was beaten by his clan brother Jie Li Khan, calling him stupid and incompetent, and missed the plan. If he hadn't had a very harmonious relationship with Bu Lishe, his Tutun location would have been revoked.
In order to make up for the mistakes, Wuqi advised Bu Lishi to attack while Honggu Pass was not yet completed. Bu Lishi was eager to take revenge, so he agreed immediately as he wished.
But he never expected that they would suddenly receive a truce notice from Jie Li Khan at the critical moment of the investigation. He did not expect that the Tang Dynasty had clearly agreed to the conditions for withdrawal proposed by Khan, and Prime Minister Pei Ji brought a large number of tributes to the Turks. But Bulishe was killed by a Tang Dynasty princess who ignored the armistice agreement between the two countries and had not yet recovered her ability to take care of herself.
In fact, Wuqi also gave up the idea of continuing to support the attack on Honggu Pass. How could Bu Lizhi be stubborn? He just could speak and shouted that he wanted to break the city of Guan and capture the Tang Dynasty princess alive. He sent troops to attack day and night without any progress. He also had no grassland near Honggu, and the army was unable to sustain supplies, which forced him to organize the people of Langshan tribe to send meat, livestock, food and grass to Bu Lizhi's army.
Wuqi was sighing, and there was a sudden noise outside the tent. He was about to go out to see what happened. A guard with a nervous look on his face had already lifted the curtain and said quickly: "Master Tutun, it's not good. A team of unknown people attacked our front team. Before they come, please run with us."
Wuqi nodded and jumped out of the car, but as soon as he got on the horse, he suddenly heard a whistle and couldn't help but instinctively lean down. An arrow shot off his fur hat with an arrow, which scared him to the point of being disgusted. He waved his whip and thrust his horse's buttocks, and ran away in panic.
"Sure enough, the distance is still a bit far..."
Li Yao looked at the small black dots that were about to leave the transportation team, and regretfully retracted the longbow, took off the horn bow that was more suitable for riding and shooting, and then put on a swallow-feather arrow, then grabbed the horse's belly, spread the bowstrings, and shot down a nearby Turkic man who raised his bow to resist. At the same time, he shouted in Turkic language: "Those who surrendered will not die! Those who hold the stick will be killed without mercy!"

When Li Yao led the crowd to rob the Langshan tribe's supply vehicle
While in the team, Qi Daishuang was riding a horse on the Nanshan Ranch in the cold wind.
The visibility here is very low, and sand and dust are everywhere. In addition to covering the faces of Qi Daishuang and the two thousand Yanzhi soldiers who accompanied Qi Daishuang must also cover their eyes with a gauze to barely see things.
The reason why they didn't stop was that hundreds of miles were all covered with barrier-free flat ground. As long as they kept a good distance from others, they could run to the end.
After discovering that the Langshan tribe and his team were out, Qi Daishuang sent information to Li Yao as soon as possible. According to the original plan, she began to harass and invade the Langshan tribe, which guarded the largest ranch in the southern Turkic region.
Their first target was a nomadic settlement located near Nanshan.
This so-called "Nanshan" is actually a big sand mountain located in the shrub desert in the middle of the Mongolian Plateau. The closer Qi Daishuang and others get to Nanshan, the clearer the sight. They see this sand mountain towering into the clouds, the sand ridges are like blades, shaped like huge waves in the sea, and the nomadic settlement is stationed in the shade of the sand mountain.
Qi Daishuang had already investigated the population composition and deployment of the settlement clearly, and the combat plan was announced to all the staff before it was released. So she only took a short rest in a nearby place, and then ordered her men to attack with murderous intent: "Kill! Kill me hard!"
The sound of hooves is like thunder and the arrows are like rain.
Two thousand iron cavalry rushed towards the felt tent group where the herdsmen lived with lightning speed, catching the other party off guard.
Although Bulishe transferred most of the young and strong men to attack Honggu Pass, the population of this settlement was still thousands, and even old women and children could ride horses and shoot arrows. When they recovered, their resistance should not be underestimated. Therefore, Qi Daishuang had used heavy measures to these herders from the beginning.
Qi Daishuang led his own guards to charge repeatedly around the edge of the continuous felt tent group, constantly chasing the fish that escaped the net that ran out of the encirclement. Many of them were shot down by a few feather arrows as soon as they climbed onto the horse.
Most of the Yanzhi army traveled between the felt tents for a while and killed everyone.
It was dusk, and it was the time for the herdsmen to have dinner. Some of the people who were barbecuing meat outside made ghosts first. Some of them had their heads exposed from the felt tent and were cut off by the galloping cavalry. A blood immediately sprayed onto the curtain, causing the women and children in the tent to scream in surprise.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Qi Daishuang hurriedly took a group of people around him to shout at the felt tents: "Stay all in the tent. Those who dare to leave will die!"
