Report, Commander-in-Chief, we are still about ten miles away from the Turkic camp of the Dulu tribe, and we dealt with three groups of scouts along the way! Judging from the situation, the Turks seemed to have noticed something was wrong!"
"Commander, please tell me whether to launch a charge?"
Liu Mingzhi frowned and put down the map in his hand: "The best charging distance for the cavalry is three miles, and the longest cannot exceed five miles. If you charge at this time, you will have no strength left in front of the enemy."
Song Qing nodded in agreement, his expression also a little helpless.
"The Turks are so smart. They are different from the people in the Western Regions. They need to defend the city. The grassland is so big that they can survive wherever they go."
"We are a tired army after a long-distance attack. We launch a charge at this time. When we reach the Turks' camp, we will serve them as snacks."
Liu Mingzhi put down the map in his hand and raised his telescope to look at it: "No, according to the combat documents reported by the Protector of the Country before, the Turks should not be so vigilant."
"They think they are eagles on the grassland and are not afraid of any enemy. How come when I go on an expedition, the enemies I encounter are all a group of shrewd guys."
Song Qing thought for a moment and his face became gloomy: "I'm afraid it has something to do with Huyan Yunyao. Your good junior brother studied under a generation of emperors and learned about human affairs. He also served in the Ministry of War of our dynasty for a year. He is very familiar with the situation of our dynasty.
Very thorough understanding.”
"In the past, the Western Turks' Royal Court of Shibisi dominated the grassland. Spisimult was a guy with high ambitions but short hands. Otherwise, your junior brother Huyan Yunyao would not have destroyed the royal court."
"Today's Turks, under the leadership of Huyan Yunyao, can be said to have completely changed their appearance."
"Huyan Yunyao is familiar with hundreds of classics and knows us very well."
Liu Mingzhi nodded clearly: "My mentor said that my junior brother is a naturally handsome man, and his military skills are unfathomable. Today I fully understand it. The old man's words are true."
"Nine times out of ten, this raid can only turn into a force attack."
"But even a strong attack is not a big problem. Three hundred thousand people versus two hundred thousand people already have the advantage of human harmony. I just shot them and fled without a fight. We traveled a long distance to catch them in vain!"
Song Qing gently stroked the horizontal knife on his waist: "Whether they are aware of our identity or not, we have to fight this time, or we have to fight if we don't fight. It doesn't matter if we can eat 50,000 of them. We can do it for our right flank at the rear."
Lu Dajun, please take some pressure off!”
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and looked at the scouts who were accompanying him: "Have any of the Turkic scouts that you have dealt with left alone to report back?"
"Reporting back to the commander, they were all uprooted, and not a single Turkic scout escaped."
"I estimate that the Turkic camp may be confused as to why the scouts haven't returned for so long and still don't know our identity."
"But I think I can at least confirm one thing. The Turks should be on guard now. I'm afraid our surprise attack will be a little difficult!"
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Continue to investigate. As long as the Turks have not confirmed our identity, they will continue to approach. With the speed of our horses, half an hour is enough to attack the Turk camp."
"Try to support their scouts and don't let them report the situation here."
"Got the order!"
"Song Qing listens to the order!"
"exist!"
"Instruct the three armies to start eating dry food and try to restore their physical strength!"
"After eating dry food, light a torch and continue moving forward. Don't show any signs of hiding your head and tail. If you can delay it for a while, just wait for a while!"
"Got the order!"
After Song Qing left, Liu Mingzhi looked melancholy, and now he was in a dilemma.
............
Liu Mingzhi gave the order to use troops, and in the vast wilderness five miles away, seven or eight Turkic eagle shooters were discussing with the same serious expressions.
"Ruto, something's not quite right."
"Tuobu, there is no news about Babu right now."
"There is no news from Muguli and the others who went to meet us. Even if it is dark and the horse riding is wasting time, it should not be delayed for so long!"
"Babalu is right. Ruto, are you sure that the army coming from the direction of the royal court is led by the prince? Until now, we have no way to confirm whether it is the prince."
Ruto pondered for a while with a complex expression: "What I mean is that there are two situations now, one good situation and one bad situation."
"Good situation, Tuobu, Muguli and the others were left by the prince to arrange some important tasks."
"In a bad situation, this army has bad intentions. Muguli and the others have already encountered unexpected events."
"Let's see. Babalu returns to the camp to report the situation to the eldest princess and the four generals. Ju Yang and I will continue to investigate the situation."
"At least half an hour, at most half an hour. If we haven't returned yet, it means there is an enemy attack. Let the general and others prepare to meet the enemy."
"Okay, Ruto, you guys, please be careful!"
"Don't worry, we Turkic warriors, the grassland people, are invincible, and the Wolf God will protect us!"
"Bless the Wolf God. I'll go back and report first. Take care!"
Babaru put the long bow in his hand on his back and galloped towards the direction of the Turkic camp.
After Babaru left, Ruto and Ju Yang felt the ground tremble before they could continue their investigation. The two prairie cavalrymen immediately understood that this was the movement caused by a large-scale cavalry attack.
Ruto looked toward the northeast with a solemn expression, but as the sky turned dark, he couldn't see clearly in the eyes of his eagle shooter.
"Ju Yang, you lead the three brothers..."
"Ruto, look!"
Before Ruto finished speaking, Ju Yang pointed to the dark east and lit up an endless fire dragon. It was a long dragon connected by countless torches.
"Ruto, I think it's the prince. If it was the enemy, how could he be so arrogant and not afraid of revealing his traces?"
"You also said that the clothes are those of our troops. There are about 200,000 to 300,000 people. Apart from the remaining dozen or so large and small coalition troops, how can we gather so many cavalry."
"There is a big dragon, but in order to guard against our khan and the army of the Jin Kingdom, the big dragon is preparing intensively for war. How can it dare to come to our hinterland?"
"Perhaps Tuobu and the others really had something to do and were left behind by the prince?"
Ruto's suspicion was somewhat weakened by Ju Yang's words, but he still didn't fully believe that the coming army would be the 300,000 troops led by Hu Yanyu.
"Ju Yang, I'm going to confirm and see if it's the prince. You lead three brothers and hide behind the steep slope half a mile away. I haven't come back for a quarter of an hour. You go back immediately and report to the general that there is an enemy attack."
.”
"Senior Ruto, it's better for me to go!"
"Ju Yang, stop arguing. If we talk for a while, the camp will be in more danger. Go and hide immediately!"
"yes........."
Before Ju Yang could finish his words, Ruto galloped towards the long dragon made of torches.
"Hush!"
"My subordinate Ruto came to meet the prince on the order of the general. I have important military information to report to the prince. Which brother will take me to see the prince?"
The captain under Jiang Lei looked at Ruto, who had tightened the reins of his horse and stopped dozens of steps away. He frowned slightly and signaled the scouts beside him to stop.
"Brother, the eagle shooters in the vanguard camp in front of the prince's tent are too polite. Brother, please come with me to see the prince!"
When Ruto heard the captain's words, his cautious eyes relaxed a little, and he hesitated before riding towards the captain's direction.
After scanning the captain up and down, Ruto looked at the Turkic wolf flag whistling in the wind under the light of the torch, as well as the countless soldiers with uneven armor around them.
"Tuobu, where are the two brothers Babu?"
"Returning to senior, Senior Tuobu, senior Babu is waiting for orders under the command of the prince. I am just a small scout. I don't know the specific situation. Senior, please come with me. Once you meet the prince, everything will be clear to you!"
"lead the way!"
"Senior please!"
The captain coughed slightly when he was packing up. The surrounding scouts' faces immediately became serious when they saw this, and they looked around with burning eyes.
After Ruto entered the central army, an older scout waved his hand: "Three hundred scouts will be searching within a radius of three miles. Don't let go of any clues!"
"Inform General Jiang and the others, send experts to assist, and try to hold the eagle shooters up so they don't reveal their whereabouts!"
"Got the order!"
"We must search quickly. The Turks have discovered something is wrong with us, and we don't have much time left!"
"Within a quarter of an hour, search a three-mile radius!"
