Haha, be a bit messy and let Ah Cao find a place to give out red envelopes. Some people actually say that Ah Cao is hypocritical, so you should give some, even if it is a contribution to the starting point.
On the grassland, there are hoofs of horses, and hundreds of horses are galloping in the wind.
During the march of several days, they encountered some grassland tribes again. This time, no one hesitated. They swept through the grassland like a strong wind, leaving behind them broken tents, dripping blood, and strange-shaped animals.
Corpse.
They have miraculously and quickly completed their psychological construction and began to find pleasure in killing.
Moreover, people began to ask frequently.
Does this count as military merit? Does this count as military merit? Does this count as military merit?
Li Poze realized that he still underestimated the strength of the heroes in the North these days. If these people were later, they would all be living bandits.
The task was almost completed, but troublesome things also appeared.
Damn it, if you keep going like this, where is Dingxiang County?
Dingxiang County should be a place to the north and west of Mayi. Li Po had asked many people before, and the approximate location was almost clear.
The so-called Dingxiang County should be the area around the later Daqingshan Mountain. This is a large place. From this, it can be seen that when the Sui Dynasty was at its most powerful, the territory was undoubtedly very large.
The military stronghold back then should be in the southeast of Dingxiang County.
But there are no clear boundaries on the grassland. Even the caravans that travel to the grassland all year round will only walk along mature trade routes and will not open a road by themselves, because without GPS, you will get lost.
Now Li Po misses artifacts like maps and GPS.
Liu Jing had been a horse bandit for so many years and was also a road fool. He only knew that when he saw Dajin Mountain and Daqing Mountain, he should be in Dingxiang County.
Nima, where is the big mountain? We also know that Daqingshan is quite big, but after walking for so many days, why can’t we see it? Could it be that it has gone to the sphere of influence of the Turks?
As for Gaga, the descendant of a grassland slave, now called Li Ya, is even more nonsense. If he knows that there is a big lake near his tribe, it will be good, so don't expect too much.
Now he was following Li Po closely like a puppy that was afraid of getting lost.
Guides have long lost their role. These grassland tribes are migrating, but their range of activities is not large. If they go too far, they will lose their lives.
God did play a big joke on Li Po.
Just as Li Po was heading west with five hundred Sui soldiers, he was already thinking about whether to turn south.
To the northwest, a rather large team was slowly coming south.
Looking from the sky, the two teams are like two straight lines, gradually getting closer. Looking at the direction and speed, sooner or later they will merge together.
The Sui army was lucky. They discovered this team first. The Sui army was also unlucky because he discovered this team.
The five hundred Sui army scouts would not be sent too far. On the vast grassland, if they were sent too far, the scouts would not be able to come back.
After more than twenty days of running-in, Li Po and the Sui army encountered many problems.
In hearsay, these are things that have never been mentioned.
Yes. During this trip, the scout got lost. Fortunately, people who can serve as scouts in the army have the ability to track him. A few days later, he caught up with him in shock.
If this was a well-disciplined army, the scouts would definitely be killed as a result of such an oversight.
But having said that, a large army will not let the scouts get lost. Therefore, this can only be an own incident that occurs with a small army.
The golden wolf-head flag flutters fiercely on the grassland. The warriors wear leather robes shorter than the knees, turn-up leather hats on their heads, and wolf tails hanging from their temples. They carry iron shields, scimitars, bows and arrows on their backs, and ride war horses.
Everything indicates that they are Turks.
Looking at such a group of heavily armed and mighty troops, one can easily imagine the mood of the Sui army scouts at that time.
A few scouts forgot that they were dressed like Turks. When Li Gui met Li Kui, there was also such a large group of Li Kui. They made the stupidest reaction and turned around and ran away.
If the Sui army was also a large army, then their reaction was correct. They immediately reported the news of encountering the enemy to the generals of the large army and prepared for battle.
But dogma kills people, and the Sui army only had 500 people.
Don't run away without saying hello. Leave slowly for a while. No one will care about you. The Turks think you are their own scouts.
But it came and went, as panicked as a rabbit. If the Turks looked at it stupidly, it would be like seeing a ghost.
At that time, the team separated into more than a dozen people and chased after him.
Of course, the mistakes made by the Sui army scouts were no longer a big deal.
Before they could lead the enemy in front of their own people, the Sui army had already discovered the Turkic scouts. With so many people, there were many scouts, but they didn't send them too far, and the 500 people were too few.
It was much too late when we discovered them.
But there is Li Po here, and he has not forgotten that he is playing the role of a Turk.
When the Sui army discovered that the cavalry appearing in the distance were not their own scouts, someone immediately shouted, "Turks!"
What a coincidence. The entire Sui army, including Li Po, who had made a lot of psychological preparations, felt as if God was joking.
"Don't panic, don't panic"
Li Po roared loudly, not caring about how far his voice could travel or whether the other party heard him.
While comforting his men, he slowly lowered his horse's speed.
Li Po had clearly realized that since the Turks appeared here, they must not be just one or two.
The first thing he thought of was that he had led his people too far and rushed into the Turks' home.
The second thought is, how many Turkic scouts are around and whether they can avoid them?
Next, I immediately thought about how many Turks there are and whether they can be compared.
His heart was racing, and he still had time, so he waved his arms towards the figure coming from afar and said hello in a friendly manner.
The cunning shown by Li Po made the Turks fooled.
In fact, the veterans of the Turks have gradually aged, and as the Turks have become stronger, young warriors have slowly grown up and taken their place.
But the wars they experienced have become much less.
The Sui army led by Li Po faced these Turkic cavalry who were the best among them. As scouts, they actually forgot that they had entered an unfamiliar grassland.
I can actually see my fellow tribesmen here, and instead of being doubtful and wary, they galloped over with joy, ready to ask these fellow tribesmen which tribe they belonged to.
Such stupid behavior was almost impossible to happen when the Sui Dynasty and the Turks were at war for years.
Li Po's young men were not the only ones who lacked the baptism of war. Obviously, the Turks would also continue to pay the price for this.
When they could clearly see how these people of the same race were dressed, they did not have any doubts.
There were many flaws in the clothing and appearance of the Sui army officers, which cannot be made up for. However, Turks are just a collective name. They are not much different from the grassland tribes before or in the future. They are a grassland empire formed by a tribal alliance.
They have many tribes, and even their customs are completely different.
Just like the Sui people had a hard time telling whether the merchants who entered the Sui land were Turks, the Turks also had a hard time telling whether the people who entered their territory were Sui people.
This is a unique phenomenon in this special period caused by hundreds of years of war in the Central Plains and the continuous rise and collapse of the northern tribes.
When they approached a certain distance, the Turks were shouting and asking where Li Po and others came from.
Li Po had already kicked the horse's belly, took off his bow and arrow, and roared, "Kill them, archers, kill them."
A dozen Turkic scouts were unprepared and fell off their horses under the incoming arrows, turning into cold corpses.
This trap was short-lived and once again demonstrated Li Po's extraordinary adaptability.
But before he could feel complacent, his own scouts rushed back, bringing back a series of tails.
The first ending with the Turks was too unpleasant for both parties.
The stupidity displayed by the scouts was simply appalling.
As a result, the Sui army's despicable behavior was caught red-handed.
"Thousands of people are all Turks, Jin Langqi, and they are Turks Khan"
Damn, I thought I couldn't escape, so I stopped to compete with the Turks and try out the Turks' Li Po, and suddenly the hairs on my back stood up.
Li Po, whose luck dropped sharply, immediately gave the order without thinking, "Turn around, go east, hurry up, go east."
At this time, he could only hope that he and others could run fast enough.
The Sui army panicked but did not panic, turning around and escaping very neatly. This was due to their daily training and Li Po's increasing prestige, so they did not cause uncontrollable chaos.
Behind them, a low horn sounded, which was the sound of the Turkic scouts indicating that they had encountered an enemy.
Farther away, the sound of trumpets answered them.
A dozen Turkic cavalry fell behind the Sui army like tails.
What's even more frightening is that horns are sounding all around, and black shadows are constantly emerging, which are the Turkic scouts scattered around who are gathering.
The Sui army scouts who had been dispersed returned to their ranks one after another and had encounters with the Turks.
The arrows began to fly in the air, and the result of a slight collision was that they were equally divided.
The Turks' archery was more accurate and their equestrian skills were more skillful, but they did not have the absolute upper hand like their descendants.
The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were not inferior to them in strength, and their bows and arrows were also more sophisticated.
After a small collision, the scouts on both sides paid the price with blood. The corpses rolled down on the grassland, and the wounded screamed and rolled off their horses.
As a result, the Sui army suffered a small loss. They could no longer take care of the wounded. Li Po just kept urging the soldiers to gallop forward. To be continued.
