Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 659 Desert Distress
The desert in the first month is already windy.

The wind is very strong, and often at a glance, there is a sky full of wind and sand in front of you.

Datang's caravan has already rushed back from Dawan Kingdom, and they are heading towards Chang'an City.

At this rate, they will be able to return to Chang'an City in about a month.

The weather in the desert is not good, whether it is day or night, it is surprisingly cold.

But even so, these businessmen and those Tang Jun were very excited.

They purchased more than 5000 Thunder horses in total. After these horses were transported back to Chang'an, the merchants could make a lot of money with them, and Tang Jun would also get some rewards.

Most importantly, they brought back hope for Datang, the hope of building an invincible cavalry.

Qin Wu walked leisurely on horseback, with a wine jug hanging on his waist.

Since entering the desert, he has developed such a habit of drinking.

For one thing, with the jug on his body, it will be more convenient for him to drink water and drink. As long as there is water, he will have the hope of surviving in this desert. Although it is only a very cautious behavior, it can save him when necessary He died.

What's more, the desert is barren and there is no human habitation for thousands of miles. They have been away for a long time, and they are inevitably lonely.

With wine, you can make the loneliness lighter.

Tang Jun and the caravan walked like this, very boring, no matter how excited they were, they couldn't dispel the boring.

Sometimes, they even hope to meet one or two enemies, so that their journey can have some fun.

But it's a pity that the 2000-strong Tang army, plus the caravan, is too large, and some robbers along the way are daunting. Who dares to fight?

They'll probably run into little trouble along the way.

At noon that day, the sun was warmer. Tang Jun and the caravan stopped to rest, and continued on their way after lunch.

But just as they heard it, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance. Qin Wu was lazy at first, but after hearing this sound, he immediately flew to stand on the horse's back, and then took out the His clairvoyance.

After looking in the direction where the voice came from, Qin Wu's expression froze suddenly: "No, there seems to be a robber."

Hearing that there were robbers, the Tang army didn't particularly care.

"General Qin, how many robbers are there? We are almost exhausted along the way. It is rare to meet robbers."

"Yeah, these robbers, just let us play."

A few people were still joking, and didn't take this matter seriously, but Qin Wu's expression became more and more ugly: "Okay, I'm afraid this is a robber that is hard for us to eat, at least three thousand soldiers and horses, order to go down , Let the caravan guard the Benlei horse, and the rest of the soldiers follow me to meet the enemy."

Hearing that there were three thousand robbers, the other Tang family didn't dare to joke. Three thousand, there are more people than them. Even if they can win, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot of casualties.

A group of Tang soldiers took the order, then flew on their horses, and ran towards the bandit.

There is no way, they have caravans and horses here. In order to prevent the Ben Lei horse from being frightened and to protect those caravans, they must distance the battlefield.

Soon, the Tang army led by Qin Wu and the Turks led by Mo Xia met.

Although Mo Xia and the others are all dressed up as robbers, they can be seen as Turkic from their appearance. However, as long as they don’t wear Turkic clothes, even if they know they are Turkic, Tang can’t find an excuse to reprimand them. Turks.

The two sides met and stopped a stone's throw away.

Whether it is the Tang army or the Turkic soldiers and horses, they are all ready for battle, and the archers are also ready.

Before the close combat between the two sides, the archer can block the speed of the enemy and can also kill the enemy with the greatest efficiency, so no matter who it is, the archer will not give up.

The wind was blowing, and the chill was still a bit threatening.

Mo Xia glanced at Tang Jun, and smiled: "If you are sensible, hand over all the money in your caravan, so that I can let you survive, if not, today you, including your caravan, I will kill you!" None of them will stay."

This is a big talk, but Mo Xia doesn't think he is talking big. If he wants, he can really kill all these Tang Jun.

However, just after Mo Xia finished speaking, Qin Wu suddenly burst into laughter: "Interesting, really interesting, this is the most self-righteous thing I've heard this year, how about it, I'll give back everything you just said, if you surrender , I can still let you live, otherwise, none of you can leave alive today."

Qin Wu's words were very cold, but also carried a majesty that could not be underestimated.

He knew that these people were all Turks, but as long as they didn't wear Turkic military uniforms, killing them would not count as provoking Turks. Moreover, even if they were Turkic soldiers, Turks would have nothing to say if they killed them. It is their Great Tang territory, killing the invaders is justified.

And he has the confidence to wipe out all these people because they have the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

With this secret weapon, their archers are several times as many as the enemy, and they can kill the enemy in a large area as long as they do it.

Mo Xia laughed a few times after hearing Qin Wu's words, and he also thought Qin Wu's words were the most ridiculous words he had heard this year.

However, at this moment, Tang Jun made a sudden move.

From the beginning, Qin Wu and the others never imagined that these Turkic people would leave, so they said those words just to delay time and take the lead.

Just when Mo Xia was laughing, Tang Jun suddenly revealed the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and shot it without any explanation.

The first thing they solved was the Turkic archers.

Sharp arrows came like rain, and they came one after another. Before the Turkic archers could react, they had already been hit by arrows. By the time the archers behind were getting ready, Tang Jun had already shot and killed several arrows one after another.

The Turkic soldiers and horses fell down one after another.

The killing suddenly started, screams and roars resounded in the desert. By the time the Turkic soldiers and horses reacted, the Tang army had already shot and killed hundreds of them.

"Damn, hate, kill me..."

Mo Xia had never seen the Zhuge Liannu in Tang Jun's hands before, and he was a little shocked. However, he reacted very quickly, knowing that Tang Jun had such a sharp weapon, and it would be very disadvantageous for them to shoot at each other. Distance, and Tang Jun close combat.

Close combat is the strength of their Turks.

The Turks gave up on the archers and rushed directly. On the side of the Tang army, the archers in front were still shooting. The Zhuge Liannu occurred at a fast speed. Moreover, it was not very affected by the close range. As long as the enemy did not really bully, Zhuge Liannu The crossbow will always work.

And just as the archers continued to sweep, Qin Wu had already ordered the soldiers and horses of Datang to outflank the Turkic soldiers and horses from the left and right wings.
