Chapter 1116 Withering Tradition

"coming."

Looking north from the barren mountain named Tolgoi, I finally saw the dust and smoke rising from the Yuan army cavalry at the junction of heaven and earth.Li Xia pursed her chapped lips and began to issue orders one after another.

The food and grass in the army have been exhausted, and they can only drink mare's milk for many days. Even he feels hungry.

The beard has not been shaved for a long time, there are fleas crawling in it, and there is a bad smell on his body. When resting at night, even Duo Siman, who likes to cling to him the most, says he is too smelly.

Li Xia sometimes thought that she shouldn't be taking her with her. She thought that she could recruit some Mongols, but she didn't expect that she was too squeamish by Chang'an.Fortunately, she also knew how to take care of the horses, milk the horses and other logistical matters during this kind of march, which she had taught her since she was a child in Ulu Khurnai.

The plan to ambush Mangge assassin did not go well, so Li Xia once again thought of using real gold.

For him, real gold is a role that is of little use if he gets it, but it is the focus of the dispute between the old Mongolian faction and the Hanchen faction, and it can always stir the nerves of the Mongolian and Yuan royal family.

What he did was very simple. It was nothing more than asking the soldiers to look for real gold nearby. When they encountered herdsmen, they would catch them as guides and ask if they saw a young and elegant Mongol.

Then add details, such as picking a fox fur from the trophies and telling the soldiers that it was left by a certain tribe when the real gold was exchanged with others a month ago.

When the herdsmen really thought that Tang Jun was looking for real gold, Brother Mangla would naturally think that the real gold was in this area.

As for what kind of intrigue would arise among the Yuan army because of the real gold, that was not what Li Xia considered.

But he believed that there would definitely be. Since Wo Kuotai's death, the Golden Family has been keen to fight each other, and this time should be no exception.

He even hoped that Brother Manasa could send some soldiers over, let him complete an ambush, plunder some supplies, and restore some morale to the soldiers.

really.

"Really?"

Duo Siman was very surprised, and said in a low voice: "You only leave a few herdsmen, and you can really trick Mang Ge's soldiers and horses over here? How could it be so?"

"I know the Golden Family better than you do." Li Xia said.

He didn't get up in a hurry. The terrain in Mobei can be described in one sentence as "looking at the mountain and running to death". The Tang army continued to rest on the south side of the mountain, letting the Yuan army cavalry continue to run.

"The Yuan army didn't disperse too far to explore the horses. This time they were not as cautious as the day before yesterday."

"That's good."

Li Xia could feel that the mentality of the enemy generals had somewhat changed because of the real gold. Simply put, they were not so focused on fighting.

Yang Ben calmly counted the strength of the Yuan army with a watch tube, and said: "No more than 3000 people, they seem to be scattered."

"Give them the real gold." Li Xia said.

Yang Ben smiled, and said: "The minister receives the order."

After the military order was issued, a young voice in the army responded, "I will pretend to be real gold."

After a while, a few soldiers wearing the Yuan army's armor bypassed Taolgai Mountain and ran towards the Yuan army. When they got close, they suddenly reined in their horses and fled south because they saw the Yuan army's flag.

The Yuan army quickly sent people to catch up.

To the south of Tolgoi Mountain, Tang Jun finally got on his horse without haste, started running, sprinting...

~~
At the Yuan army camp on Caolemu Mountain in the northwest, Li Dehui had to remind Manggela, "Your Highness, we can't stay here for too long, it's time to set off to see His Majesty."

"Didn't Prime Minister Wang say that the Tang army is probably going to ambush us?" Brother Mang said, "We need to be more cautious."

Li Dehui smiled wryly, and said: "Careful doesn't mean stationing here, as long as we don't neglect our defenses during the march. All the luggage we left in Gaochang was burned by Lian Xixian. There are not many cattle and sheep in the army, only dried meat and cheese. It will snow soon and the horses will have no fodder..."

If you do your best, it will inevitably appear long-winded.

Brother Mang frowned, and there was a slight suspicion in his eyes.Thinking about it secretly, the army will leave first, leaving only one team to search for the real gold is the same, then said: "Then listen to Wang Xiang, and set off early tomorrow morning."

"Alright, I'll arrange it now." Li Dehui asked again: "His Royal Highness, hasn't Cheche Bald Sea returned to the camp yet? His Highness sent two thousand-man teams out of the camp last night?"

"Oh, don't worry about it, Prime Minister Wang. I'll let Tan Ma go further away."

"is it?"

Busy brother turned his body slightly, avoiding Li Dehui's gaze, and did not reveal the truth to his king...

~~
The war horse neighs.

Li Xia turned sideways, avoided the incoming arrows, kicked the horse's belly and dashed into the Yuan army's formation, the long spear plunged into the body of a centurion.

In this round of charge alone, the seven thousand Tang troops faced off against the three thousand cavalry of the Yuan army who were rushing forward, directly killing through the Yuan army's line.

The soldiers of the Yuan army turned around and ran away, and those who escaped slowly were stabbed under the horse by the Tang army.

Soon there was the sound of gold ringing, and the Yuan army retreated immediately, leaving only blood and corpses all over the ground, as well as the wounded and wounded horses that were still screaming and rolling on the ground.

Some soldiers of the Tang army cheered, wanting to get off their horses to mend their swords and strip off their spoils.

Among other things, at least a few more tents can be sheltered from the wind tonight, and horse meat can be roasted and eaten open.

However, Li Xia immediately ordered to continue the pursuit.

After receiving the military order, Yang Ben didn't forget to yell and add a sentence.

"Little Dangxiang, lead the team to clean up the battlefield, roast the horse meat, and celebrate when we come back from killing the enemy!"

This is a very important morale booster.

The generals of the Tang army shouted: "Grill the meat, and celebrate after killing the enemy!"

At the same time, in order to motivate the soldiers, Li Xia took the lead and rushed to the forefront.

He raised the dragon flag.

The horn blew again, and the soldiers finally turned their attention away from the horse meat and roared one after another.

"Drive the deserters to his mother's camp, grab him for a round and come back to celebrate..."

~~
Yuan army camp.

Mang Gela barely dealt with Li Dehui, feeling a little worried, so he went to look for Yuxi Timur, Marshal of Wanhudu in his army overnight.

Yuxi Timur is the grandson of Borshu, one of the four founding heroes of Mongolia. He is only 24 years old this year, but he succeeded his father when he was 20 years old.It belongs to the noble among the nobles.

Kublai Khan admired Yuxi Timur very much, and recruited him to serve as the general of Qixue very early on, calling him a "capable officer".

Brother Mangla had a good relationship with Yuxi Timur, and he didn't put on airs when he entered the tent, and said with a smile: "It's too cold in your tent, I'll send some beauties to warm your tent."

"I have a wife, I don't need a beauty." Yuxi Timur said: "I need military exploits, and I will soon defeat Ulu Khurnai, you shouldn't have withdrawn from the Western Regions."

"Do you know why?"

Yuxi Timur said: "I don't care why. I only know that among your army, I am the only one who can fight on the battlefield, and the others are just trash gnawing on the bones of their ancestors."

"I consider you my brother." Brother Mang stepped forward and said, "Compared with so many brothers my father Khan gave birth to, you are my real brother."

"Not to mention anything else, Zhenjin and Namuhan are brothers of your own country."

"Do you think Zhenjin looks like a hero on the grassland? Do you think he should be a big sweat?"

As he said, Brother Mang stepped forward and grabbed Yuxi Timur's shoulder.

Yuxi Timur did not resist.

"I want you to help me with something." Mang Ge stabbed, "Li Dehui persuaded me to go, but there is one thing, I need someone I trust to stay and watch for me."

"..."

Not long after, several Uighur Meiji were sent to Yuxi Timur's tent.

Yuxi Timur was a little impatient, raised his head from the map and glanced at them, looked at one of them, and said, "Are you the one who accompanied the king a while ago?"

"Yes."

"What is your name?"

"Namangan...for so long, the king has never asked my name."

Yuxi Timur was slightly taken aback by the latter sentence, and after a closer look, she found that she was indeed the most beautiful, so she assigned the others to the generals under her command, leaving Namangan alone.

He lay down by himself, ready to be served by her.

She was very well-behaved and her movements were very gentle, taking off his smelly boots.

There was a strong stench in the tent, Naman Gan didn't expect the young, strong and imposing Generalissimo in front of him to be so unclean, so he froze for a moment.

"Oh." Yuxi Timur said lightly: "I am an orthodox Mongolian on the grassland, and I cherish water sources. Unlike Gaochang King and Dawang, they wash very clean. Those people are becoming more and more disobedient to their ancestors. tradition."

The Uighur beauty who was holding his other boot was stunned, and wanted to say something, but finally she didn't.

A good tradition can be kept, and a good life should be lived... She thought to herself.

The next moment, a stronger sour smell made it hard for her to breathe.

It was Yuxi Timur who raised her chin with his feet and said, "You are indeed beautiful."

"I serve the Grand Marshal."

"I don't need to take off the armor, I don't take off the armor when I sleep, you crawl over here..."

suddenly.

Yuxi Timur stopped and turned to look outside the tent.

"Master?"

"Go away!"

The two cowhide boots were put back on those stinky feet. Namangan, who was knocked down on the blanket with a slap, turned his head and saw that the young marshal had already picked up a big knife and left the tent.

The night wind blew, bringing a burst of cold and refreshing air, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.

After a while, she heard the killing cry.

~~
"Li Dehui was cautious and cautious, and let the Tang army attack the camp."

Yuxi Timur groaned coldly in his heart, got on his horse, and instead of going to the place where they were fighting immediately, he began to order his generals to go and call the soldiers up immediately.

This is what a qualified commander should do.

It's a pity that he was right in one sentence... In this big camp, he is the only commander who can fight.The other four million households are all lying on the ancestral credit book and waiting to die.

It's nothing at ordinary times, and this kind of disadvantage will only show up when you encounter a tough battle.

Soon, panicked exclamations came from the camp not far away.

"Stop the rout!"

"Don't let the broken soldiers rush over..."

Suddenly the horn sounded, and there was a loud roar in Chinese.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The momentum is shocking.

In an instant, this comparison of morale between the two sides made Yuxi Timur stunned for a moment, thinking of what Kublai Khan had said to him.

"Do you believe it? Except for you and a few people, the current Mongolian generals are not easy to win, so this Khan has to rely on the Han army..."
