"Headman, Khan told us that if the Tang army is discovered, we should hold on and notify the surrounding tribes to gather absolute superiority before launching an attack on them."
An old man next to him said that this man is an old man from the Ronggong tribe, so he does things more conservatively. In addition, the news from the royal court can prove that this Tang army is different from before. If you are not careful,
If you treat it badly, big trouble may happen.
"Like his father, he always told me to stand still. Our Ronggong tribe has strong soldiers and horses. When encountering such an army, how can we stay in the military camp? If this spread, others will say that I, Yu Dan, have no courage.
That's what his father said about me back then, and as a result he got the position of Great Khan, and now he's doing this again, ugh, I just want to show everyone that I, Yu Dan, am no worse than the two of them."
Yu Dan was extremely angry when he thought about what happened back then. Now he still asks me to stand still. All the credit goes to you. From now on, the momentum of my lineage will become weaker and weaker.
"The leader..."
The old man wanted to say something else, but Uncle Dan Huang had no time to listen. In his opinion, letting him stand still might be a conspiracy of Tuyuhun Khan, and he was afraid that he would make a contribution. If he had made a contribution,
, then he has majesty on the grassland. If someone follows him, his position as the Great Khan may not be guaranteed.
"Quickly go and order someone to send orders to the fifteen surrounding tribes, asking them to organize their troops and horses to come to the emperor's uncle's camp immediately."
Seeing that he could not stop Yu Dan, the old man could only ask his cronies to quickly take Yu Dan's seal to deliver the order. At least the fifteen tribes around him were considered to be strong soldiers. If their people came to support, even if something happened to Uncle Yu Dan,
These people can also help us turn things around.
On the other side, Li Xiang and his men were ready. The small tribe next to them took it down without any effort, and they also left a way out for them to go to the Ronggong tribe to report the news. Now
On the only way for the Ronggong tribe to come, Li Xiang had already made preparations for his men. As long as these people dare to come, we will keep them safe so that they never come back.
When everyone was ready, three dull sounds came from the sky behind. These were the scouts in the sky, proving that they had seen troops from the Ronggong tribe coming out. They were four miles away from the Ronggong tribe.
Ten miles away, from such a position they would definitely not be able to detect us, but we would be able to know their actions very well.
"This imperial uncle is really arrogant. According to normal thinking, even if he discovers the whereabouts of our army, it is impossible to bring the army out immediately. He should send people to investigate first. It seems that he is usually a
Reckless goods.”
Li Guang spit out the grass roots in his mouth. He really didn't know what to say to Uncle Yu Dan. Relying on his strong strength, he rushed over with his people carelessly. You must know that this is a war, not your usual
Go out hunting.
"Uncle Yu Dan is usually suppressed by the Tuyuhun Khan. He has no chance to lead troops. He is getting weaker and weaker on the grassland. Now he finally gets an opportunity. If he doesn't show it, I'm afraid he won't be able to live up to his current situation.
Now that I have my name, I will inform my brothers to prepare for battle and defeat them all at once."
Li Xiang also learned some about the situation on the grassland from Zaterk. He learned that the Dan emperor uncle had long been dissatisfied with the ruling system on the grassland, but the control of Tuyuhun Khan was too strong.
If the emperor's uncle is not satisfied, he can only endure it for now. Now that he has such an opportunity, it is strange that he can endure it.
"The Ronggong tribe is indeed the third largest tribe in Tuyuhun. Just looking at the cavalry's advancing queue, they must have trained a lot in normal times. Fortunately, we are fighting an ambush. If we face the enemy head-on, we can win, but
Our losses will certainly not be small."
Huo Qubing told the truth from a high place. Cavalry and cavalry relied on their stable lineups and normal combat skills. Although the two sides have not yet exchanged fire, Huo Qubing was called the God of War, which is not an honorable title.
But he can really see the difference in combat effectiveness between cavalry.
"Don't underestimate this Uncle Yu Dan. He was also a strong competitor of Tuyuhun Khan back then. It's a pity that he was still young, so he was tricked by his elder brother. But his father's elite cavalry in the headquarters can make him
He has inherited more than half of it, and even compared to the royal court's cavalry, he is not far behind."
When Zaterk was talking to Li Xiang, he specifically listed the advantages of several tribes to Li Xiang. Among them was the Ronggong tribe, which was the family property left by his grandfather. In addition, in recent years, Yu Dan
The emperor's uncle could only get in and out, and managed the entire tribe like an iron barrel. Apart from his poor commanding ability, his fighting ability was really good.
"Are the ballistae ready?"
When Li Xiang asked this question, some people didn't know what kind of new weapon this was. In fact, this was not a new weapon, but a war crossbow that had been abandoned long ago. Li Xiang modified it and turned it into
Existing cannons.
This thing turns out to be a direct fire. To put it bluntly, it is a large bow and arrow. If it is erected on the city wall, or it is used to attack the city wall, it is very good, but if it is used to fight on the ground, this thing is not very big.
ability.
So Li Xiang modified this thing into a projectile form, and added two porcelain bottles at the bottom of the crossbow, filled with gunpowder, just like a mortar.
In the past two days, Li Xiang led his men to conduct experiments, and basically figured out the range and power of this thing. In the case of headwind, tailwind and no wind, how far it can shoot and how powerful it is, Li Xiang's heart
After counting them all, I moved this thing to the battlefield.
"Your Highness, is that thing of yours reliable? If not, I'd better take the cavalry up to kill them. Although they can't annihilate them all, they can still cause a lot of damage to them. If you
If that thing doesn't work, they will be wary. With such a large group of cavalry, we have no other choice but to retreat."
Huo Qubing said with some worry that although his cavalry was elite enough, there were only two or three thousand men. The cavalry in front of him had a total of 30,000 people. The strength gap between the two sides was too big...
