Chapter 134: Brocade Horse

……

The battle is over.

Clean up the battlefield.

When Wu Wen arrived at Yuchi Gong's military tent, he saw him staring at a marching map. Although he had just won a victory, his face was still full of worry.

"County Wu, this battle is all thanks to you, otherwise we would not have won so easily." Yuchi Gong saw Wu Wen coming in and greeted him with a smile.

"This is what I should do."

Wu Wen answered calmly, and then asked: "What should we do next?"

Fighting is no child's play. Although Wu Wen has read military books and participated in several battles, he knows that his abilities are more suitable for leading troops to charge and command the enemy, and he still needs to listen to Yuchi Gong for marching deployment.

Yuchi Gong sighed, walked to the map, pointed to the marching route on it and said to Wu Wen: "Although we have won a pioneering victory, it is just a drop in the bucket for the entire Turkic invasion.

Jie Li Khan of the Turks is leading 200,000 cavalrymen in two groups. They will meet here in no more than three days.

By then, our small number of people facing an army of 200,000 will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

"So, our mission is to try to stop the Turkic cavalry vanguard and buy time for your majesty. Once the Turkic army arrives, we must retreat to Chang'an."

Wu Wen stared at the map.

The reason why the Turks split into two groups and it took three days to reach Chang'an was because their main purpose of going south was to plunder rather than to occupy.

Along the way, the areas north of Chang'an will be looted by the Turks.

After a moment, Wu Wen pointed to the Turkic marching route on the map and said, "Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative. As long as we can kill Jie Li, these 200,000 troops will retreat on their own."

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Gong turned to look at Wu Wen in shock: "How is this possible? How can they kill Jie Li when surrounded by an army of 200,000?"

Wu Wen smiled and replied: "Why can't we kill him? Although Jie Li is surrounded by a large army, he has no more than 20,000 or 30,000 people around him."

Pointing to the map, he continued, “Now their armies are spread out, plundering like a net.

I just need to lead an elite force, charge all the way, and insert it like a knife.

If I can see Jie Li, I will kill him."

"is it possible?"

When Yuchi Gong heard Wu Wen's boast, he thought he was talking nonsense.

He himself said just now that the formation of the Turkic army was like a net. How could they rush to Jie Li and kill him amidst the layers of siege?
Seeing Yuchi Gong's disbelief, Wu Wen said nothing more, "Organize a team of elite cavalry for me. It doesn't have to be too many, a thousand will be enough. I want to launch a surprise attack on Jie Li!"

Yuchi Gong thought for a moment and decided like a gambler: "Okay, I will organize a team of elite cavalry for you. I hope you can really do what you said."

Having said that, Yuchi Gong went to prepare personally.

Wu Wen also began to prepare, eating and drinking enough, replenishing his energy, and then preparing some things.

Two hours later, Wu Wen arrived in front of the military camp.

Yuchi Gong had selected a thousand of the most elite cavalry for him.

Wu Wen stepped forward to take a look and suddenly found that Cheng Chumo was also among them.

He smiled at Cheng Chumo and said nothing more.

He was not unaware of the danger of this operation. Since the other party dared to follow him, let him follow. After all, Wu Wen would not be blamed if he died on the battlefield.

When Wu Wen finished reviewing the manuscript, Yuchi Gong brought another horse and said to him:

"I saw Wuxianzi in battle before without a good mount. This is my treasured BMW. I will give it to you to help you in this operation."

Wu Wen turned around and looked at the horse, his eyes lit up.

In addition to its majestic physique, this horse also has special patterns from its shoulder blades to its legs, which resemble wings and a wolf's head.

"What kind of horse is this?" Wu Wen asked curiously.

"Jinbocong!"

Yuchi Gong introduced: "This horse is from the Western Regions. It is extremely fierce. Even wolves will avoid it if they encounter it."

Wu Wen reached out to touch the golden-bocong, but unexpectedly it resisted violently, opened its mouth to reveal a row of sharp teeth, and tried to bite Wu Wen.

"Oh, that's really fierce!"

Wu Wen smiled slightly, his eyes changed, and he glared at it. The aura he exuded formed a pressure on Jinbocong, making it instantly obedient.

Then, Wu Wen jumped onto the horse and rode it steadily. He pulled the reins, and Jinbocong let out a long whistle, raised its two front hooves high, and then burst out with amazing speed and rushed forward.

After running around the camp, Wu Wen returned to the front of the army.

"It's indeed a good horse!" Wu Wen praised.

With a good mount, his strength can be better displayed.

Yuchi Gong saw this and praised: "County Wu is really capable! When I first got this horse, it took me more than a month to tame it. I didn't expect that under your hands, it only took a moment to tame it."

"Thank you General Yuchi for the gift of the horse!"

Wu Wen clasped his fists in thanks and then gave orders to the thousand elite cavalry:
"set off!"

Riding his horse and waving the whip, Wu Wen rushed out of the military camp first, followed closely by a thousand elite cavalrymen.

Watching them go away, Yuchi Gong sighed softly: "I really hope he can succeed, so that the Tang Dynasty can be spared from this disaster."

—

night.

Wu Wen continued to lead a thousand elite cavalrymen galloping in the night.

Cheng Chumo followed Wu Wen, his heart full of doubts.

He originally thought that this time if he followed Wu Wen, he would have to go through fierce battles all the way before he could reach the Turkic Khan Jie Li.

However, the development of things was beyond his imagination.

Under the leadership of Wu Wen, they turned left and right and moved forward in a curve.

For a whole day, they didn't encounter any enemy troops.

"Stop trimming!"

When they arrived at the foot of a hill, Wu Wen suddenly gave an order.

After galloping for more than ten miles, the group immediately stopped their horses and began to rest.

Wu Wen rode his horse up the mound, his pupils contracted, and his hunting eyes opened.

In the dark night, he observed a battalion of Turkic cavalry stationed in a flat area ahead.

At this time, Cheng Chumo carefully came behind Wu Wen and looked in the direction Wu Wen was looking.

He also saw flickering lights in the darkness, and immediately realized that that was where the Turkic cavalry was stationed.

"County Wu, how did you discover them in advance?" Cheng Chumo asked curiously in a low voice.

Wu Wen turned his head to look at him, without answering, he just rode down the mound on his horse and began to rest.

Half an hour later, everyone had finished their rest.

Wu Wen was the first to climb on his horse, and then ordered, "Get on the horse!"

Upon hearing the order, all the elite cavalry mounted their horses.

Taking advantage of the night, Wu Wen led them around the Turks stationed in front and went behind them.

In one night.

Wu Wen led them to avoid eight waves of Turkic troops.

Finally, in the early morning.

On the distant horizon, they saw a large camp consisting of tents.

"County Wu, we found Jie Li Khan!" Cheng Chumo said excitedly behind Wu Wen.

"You don't have to tell me. I can see it."

Wu Wen turned around and said to everyone, "Rest for an incense stick of time, then follow me to attack the camp and kill Jie Li!"

In fact, with Wu Wen's ability, he could have killed Jie Li quietly under the cover of night, but he couldn't do that.

Because assassination will only bring hatred and anger, which will be counterproductive.

Only by charging head-on can we completely destroy the Turks' fighting will and make them afraid and terrified.
