Chapter 188 The Scout's Fate
Chapter 188 The Scout's Fate
It has been ten months since the army was launched.
The northern border, which has not been polluted by modern industry, is already a scene full of spring.
The armies from all walks of life are taking a final rest before the battle in the border area, and the soldiers will wantonly laugh and curse to vent their fear in their hearts.
However, the scouts belonging to the various vanguards had already searched for opportunities to go deep into the hinterland of the Turks to inquire about the enemy's situation under heavy siege.
As for how many people can come back alive, no one cares and no one knows.
This is the fate of the scouts, and it is also the fate of the scouts of later generations.
Before the armies officially engage, the battlefield will be soaked in the blood of the scouts.
What they are looking for is nothing more than for the comrades behind him to be able to annihilate the enemies of other races.
On the edge of the vast grassland, several vultures hovered in the sky.
As prairie scavengers they are particularly sensitive to death.
The gentle breeze blowing across his cheeks under it seemed so incompatible with the solemn and solemn surroundings.
A group of more than ten riders galloped on the long grassland, with strong perseverance and sadness intertwined in their eyes.
And behind it.
More than a hundred Turkic cavalrymen wielding sabers came galloping with babbling screams.
"General, the pursuers are approaching!
I will stay with the enemy, you go first! "
A young Tang Jun shouted hoarsely.
"General ass!
Yeah, I'm just a small official of the ninth rank, and I'm still a general of TN? ! "
The leader, the middle-aged man, smiled heartily, and looked back at the Turkic man who was chasing after him.
"When Yeye brought you out, he promised to take you home.
But now it seems that Yeye may not be able to go back. "
"General!!!"
The young cavalryman cried out in mourning.
The leader, the middle-aged man, took a deep breath, as if letting go of the big stone in his heart.
"Boy, you are the youngest.
After you go back, remember to take good care of your relatives at home for your brothers. "
"General!!!"
The middle-aged Tang Jun smiled when he heard it, and calmly reined in his horse and turned around.
The remaining eleven riders also stopped without saying a word.
Seeing this, the young man's eyes were about to burst, he clenched his hands tightly and wanted to turn back.
The middle-aged Tang Jun suddenly shouted when he saw it: "Go back!
Don't let the brothers die in vain! "
"Mr. Xi buy!
If you dare to stay today, yeah, even a ghost will not let you go! "
"Go away, boy.
This is Yeye's battlefield! "
"Boy, remember to go back and marry a wife.
Yay, the third-level military merit in your hand will be given to you as a congratulatory gift!
Hahaha~"
"..."
Shi Yuqi laughed loudly, Xi Junmai gritted his teeth and turned around with tears in his eyes.
Seeing this, more than a hundred Turkic people behind him bent their bows and set up arrows in a hurry, and shot several arrows at Xi Junmai.
Xi Junmai crouched on the horse, waving the whip frantically with a hoarse voice.
He couldn't stop and turn back at this moment, otherwise the news that dozens of scouts exchanged their lives for would be in vain.
"Bros!"
Seeing that the Turkic cavalry split into several groups and chased after Xi Jun.
The leader, the middle-aged man, held his horse high and shouted loudly: "Follow me and kill the enemy!"
"kill!
kill!
kill! "
The Twelve Tang Army suddenly increased their speed, and rushed straight towards hundreds of Turkic cavalry without fear.
Seeing this, the Turkic general showed disdain, waved his saber and led the crowd to meet him.
"Kill them all!"
The leader, Tang Jun, trembled slightly, but his hands holding Ma Qian were extremely firm.
Seeing the enemy general leading three cavalry soldiers coming towards him, he sniffled and shouted: "Brothers, let's go one step ahead!
Kill the enemy! ! ! "
"kill!!!"
"Crack..."
A splash of blood.
After a while, the noisy grassland suddenly became quiet.
The Turkic general looked at Tang Jun's corpse thoughtfully, rode his horse forward and ordered loudly: "Chasing!
Don't let a Tang army scout escape back! "
"Yes!"
……
And state.
West River City.
Li Ji held "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and laughed.
"If I didn't know that this book was written by His Highness the Crown Prince, I would have to find the author of this book to have a good debate.
The old man just made some minor achievements, how did he become the master of Zhuge Wuhou? "
The commander of the personal guards at the side laughed foolishly when he heard the words, patted his helmet and said in a buzzing voice: "Your lord has no plan at all, so there is no excuse.
Now that the prince is valued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he must be able to be the prime minister in the future. "
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Ji put down the scroll in his hand, shook his head and said: "Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui are all better than this old man. It's just a little convenience for me to have today's achievements."
"My lord, why are you so humble!
On the path of martial arts..."
"Report!"
Before the commander could finish his words, a young general rushed into the room.
"Report to my lord, the scouts are back!"
"Bring it in!"
"promise!"
Li Ji put away his playfulness, sat upright and stared at the door.
After a moment.
With the support of two sergeants, Xi Junmai walked into the room with a tired expression.
"General!
The East Turkic army is assembled, fearing that it will surprise us in the Tang Dynasty! "
"Oh~
Xieli, is this when I, Li Ji, are easy to bully? "
Li Ji smiled lightly and asked, "How many people are there in the Turkic army?"
"No less than eighty thousand!"
Xi Junmai raised his head, tears were already streaming down his green face.
"In order to find out the number of Jieli's army, only one of the 83 scouts in my military guard survived!"
"Ugh!"
Li Ji sighed deeply, frowned and said: "The matter is of great importance, you should leave immediately and report to the capital."
"General!
The little one just wants to fight the enemy! "
Xi Junmai's eyes are red.
Li Ji waved his hand and said firmly, "Go quickly!
go!
Do you want to disobey the military order? "
"...Little one...take orders!"
Xi Junmai stood up angrily, and walked out with strength.
The commander of the guards curled his lips when he saw this, and said, "Grandpa, you are trying to save him, but he doesn't know what to do!"
"We are all brothers in the same robe, why bother to criticize a junior."
Li Ji shook his head with a sigh, and ordered loudly: "Notify all ministries immediately to prepare for war.
Xieli didn't dare to fight Li Jing, but came to make trouble in the public office of his own country, he didn't look down on us. "
"Then let him come and go."
The commander of the guards responded viciously, turned around and walked out of the house.
After a while, news of the Turkic army's attack spread throughout Xihe City.
The dull sound of the trumpet followed, and Xihe City, which was originally going its own way, became busy in an instant.
The soldiers who defended the city rushed to the head of the city with their weapons in hand, and the camp outside the city also pulled out its camp and entered the city to take refuge temporarily.
The panicked people rushed towards their homes, and the yamen servants bravely went out to maintain order.
Li Ji led a dozen bodyguards and generals to the north city.
Not long after, I saw a cloud of smoke and dust sweeping in from a distance.
"The enemy is attacking!
alert!
alert! "
The generals defending the city shouted loudly.
The archers skillfully drew their bows and set their arrows, and stared at the city with breathless concentration.
The rest of the infantry held shields and carefully protected their comrades behind them.
In the era of cold weapons, only a team with a tacit understanding can have a chance of survival.
"Oh~
Unexpectedly, Jieli came in person.
It seems that he doesn't look down on the old man! "
Li Ji pressed his hands on the crenel, and opened his eyes wide to see the Turkic army rushing towards him at a high speed.
Is Xieli trying to put all his eggs in one basket?
"Grandpa, do you want to shoot arrows?
With the range of my Datang Shenarm bow.
Even if Xieli could not be killed this time, it would definitely make him break out in a cold sweat! "
"is that useful?"
Li Ji chuckled disdainfully, stood up and said, "Since Xieli picked us, let's play with him.
Pass the order down, be sure to drag Jieli here.
Wait for the rest of the army to wipe out the land in front of you, and you will be the first to do it! "
"promise!"
A group of generals bowed their hands in agreement, and walked towards their subordinates with excited faces.
This battle is a battle to destroy the country, and the credit is naturally not small.
But the achievement of the first battle is still exciting.
After all, this is enough to boast of a lifetime of achievements.
