I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 52 Li Jing: Li Zheng went deep into Mobei, and Li Jing sent people to respond
  "Report to the Grand Manager."

"The general said so."

"Although I, the Tang Dynasty, have taken over the Turkic homeland and the vast royal city."

"But the Turkic Khan wanted to conquer Qamdo and ran away."

"The imperial court's decision to cease the war has not yet been issued, which means that the war has not yet been decided."

"This Turkic Khan wants to go to Qamdo and flee to Mobei. This is always a big trouble and we must eliminate the enemy."

"So, the general led his troops deep into the desert of Mobei to search for Yugu Changdu."

Seeing that Li Jing's face looked ugly, Lin Chong quickly explained.

"Ugh!"

"This Li Zheng... is still too young."

"Forget it, I hope nothing goes wrong if he goes deep into Mobei."

After listening to Lin Chong's explanation, Li Jing thought about it and stopped blaming Li Zheng.

As Lin Chong said, the imperial court has not yet issued an order to stop the troops, that is, it has not yet requested a ceasefire.

Moreover, Yuguchangdu escaped. Although the remnants of the Turks were eliminated in this battle for the vast royal city, it could not be considered a complete victory. Li Zheng insisted on pursuing deep into Mobei, which was also his responsibility.

Before this decisive battle in the vast royal city.

Li Jing asked the soldiers to annihilate the remnants of the Turks and capture Yugu Changdu alive.

Although Li Zheng led his men deep into Mobei to pursue Yugu Changdu without receiving his orders, and was suspected of making the decision without authorization, he did nothing wrong.

The vanguard army must be bold and resolute.

Clear obstacles for the main force of the army.

From this point of view, Li Zheng was not only right, but also a competent pioneer general.

"How many soldiers and horses did he bring in pursuit? How much food and grass did he bring?"

Li Jing asked hurriedly.

"Report to the Grand Manager."

"General Li brought three thousand fine cavalry and half a month's supply of dry food and water to pursue them."

Lin Chong heard this and immediately replied.

"This Li Zheng is really brave. He actually dared to chase after him with just three thousand elite cavalry."

"Although Yugu Chamdu is frightened at the moment, there are many remaining Turkic troops in Mobei, and many Turkic herdsmen have settled there."

"If Yuguchangdu is to organize these remaining troops and herdsmen, their strength cannot be underestimated."

"Li Zheng led three thousand cavalry this time and went deep into the desert for thousands of miles. I think it is hard to say that he can come back intact, let alone capture Yugu Changdu."

The deputy general manager Zhang Gongjin on the side also spoke.

"This kid, ever since he became the vanguard general, has won many battles, and he's a little bit arrogant."

"It's also a good thing to let him suffer a little loss."

Li Jing sighed and said.

Obviously.

Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin responded to Li Zheng's reckless pursuit of Yugu Changdu in Mobei.

In their view, they will suffer a loss if they fail to do so.

You know, although Yugu Changdu only took his bodyguards, some family members, princes and ministers with him, he fled into the Mobei desert.

However, there are still tens of thousands of Turkic herders in Mobei, grazing and living there.

Before, many Turkic remnants fled into Mobei.

If Yugu Changdu organized these remnants and herdsmen, they would also be a powerful army.

"However, if you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss."

"After all, Li Zheng is a hero of our Tang Dynasty and a good general. Nothing can happen to him."

"General Wei, you personally lead 10,000 elite cavalry, bring half a month of dry food and water, follow Li Zheng's pursuit route, and meet him."

Li Jing was slightly angry, but he really liked Li Zheng, a fierce general in the army.

He immediately turned around and said to Wei Xiaojie behind him.

"The last general takes orders."

Wei Xiaojie bowed and accepted the order.

"Li Zheng, don't let me down. You must come back alive."

"Such a good general is rare to see in a hundred years."

"If he dies like this, it will be a huge loss to our Datang."

Li Jing murmured.

Since the Northern Expedition, Li Zheng has achieved great success in several battles, and his performance is the most outstanding among all the soldiers of the Northern Expedition.

Such a good general, so brave and good at fighting, with a little training, will be the future pillar of the Tang Dynasty.

How could something happen?

"Except for Wei Xiaojie who led 10,000 troops to support Li Zheng, the other armies were stationed along the Mobei line."

"Stop all the remaining Turks in Mobei."

…     “Report!”

"Tang Jun is chasing us."

"Please ask General Sijie Aijin to make your decision."

A Turkic cavalryman came to the Turkic general Sijie Aijin on horseback, got off his horse and reported.

Sijie Aijin was defeated on the east road by Xu Shiji, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and led more than 10,000 remnants to retreat to Mobei.

I want to go to Qamdo with the Turkic Khan, recharge my batteries in Mobei, and prepare for a comeback.

Unexpectedly, before he could gain a firm foothold, the Tang Dynasty's pursuers came after him.

"Damn it, I really think I have no one in the Turks."

"Today, the Japanese general will fight to the death with the Tang army in this desert."

Sijie Aijin sneered and waved his hand:
  "The whole army is on alert and ready to defend against the enemy."

Just when I was thinking about it, General Aijin's order had just been issued.

just listen...

Tread.

Tapping.

The sound of horse stampeding echoed throughout the desert canyon.

Sijie Aijin raised his eyes and looked up.

I saw dust flying not far away, and thousands of troops and horses galloping towards this direction.

When they got closer, they saw a young general leading them, wearing a unicorn armor and a war helmet, holding a black iron sword in his hand, and rushed over to kill them.

Behind him, thousands of Tang Dynasty knights with bright armor roared over to kill.

When they saw it, the Turkic soldiers set up a wooden barrier in front of the formation, hoping to block the charge of the Tang Dynasty cavalry.

"It's simply delusional to think that you can stop me just because of this."

Li Zheng stared at the Turkic soldiers behind the barrier and sneered.

immediately.

Raising the black iron sword in his hand.

"Where are the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Zheng shouted loudly.

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"

These three thousand elite cavalry were all elites who followed Li Zheng and chased him for hundreds of thousands of miles, causing the Turkic soldiers to flee.

Upon hearing Li Zheng's general order, they all raised their swords and roared.

"Even if the remnants of the Turks escape to the horizon, we must catch up and kill all the bandits."

"Soldiers, sheath your swords and raise your bows and arrows."

"Follow me, general, and kill the barrier."

"kill!"

Li Zheng shouted loudly, put down the black iron sword, took out the five-stone crossbow directly from his back, took out five sharp arrows from his back, bent the bow and nocked the arrow, and locked his sharp eyes on the Turkic soldiers on the opposite wall.

With Li Zheng's general order, the soldiers behind him put away their swords in a tacit understanding, took out their crossbows, stretched their bows and nocked arrows, and aimed at the Turkic soldiers on the wall.

The vanguard army who had followed Li Zheng for several months had already formed a tacit understanding.

Movements are uniform and aimed at the target.

At this time.

Li Zheng rode Juechen, and the horse quickly approached the barrier.

The Turkic soldiers on the barrier also had their bows and arrows ready, just waiting for Li Zheng to lead his troops into shooting range.

but.

Just when we were approaching the barrier, we were still fifty feet away.

"Death to me!"

Li Zheng shouted loudly.

shhhhhh…

Five sharp arrows shot out with the sound of piercing the air.

Just this moment.

"what…"

With several shrill screams, several Turkic soldiers on the barrier fell down one after another.

There was also a sharp arrow that penetrated several Turkic soldiers.

When Li Zheng fired the first arrow, the soldiers under his command who had a tacit understanding already knew that this was the order.

Immediately.

Thousands of arrows were fired, all targeting a gap in the barrier.

shhhhhh!
  The Turkic soldiers in the gap in the barrier were not protected by the barrier and were instantly exposed to thousands of sharp arrows. Each Turkic soldier was shot into a hedgehog.
