Chapter 596: military warrant

  Chapter 596 Military Writ

   "Master!"

  Under the snow peak, next to the glacier, a rider galloped to Cheng Zishuai's flag.

   "Report to the commander-in-chief and found traces of the Tianzhu King's Department."

"Where is it?" Cheng Yaojin stood up fiercely. After Kushan's victory, he divided his forces and went south. He tracked and searched for the decisive battle of Tianzhu King, but ended up going round and round, like being teased by Tianzhu King for more than a month. I walked around the mountains and valleys all day long, from the east of Qinghai Lake to the north of Dafeiling, then to Dafeichuan in the south of Lingnan, then to the foot of Jishi Mountain, and then to Huashi Gorge on the west side of Jishi Mountain, and then Then he ran to the mouth of the river, and then circled back to Wuhai.

  The whole **** day marched on the road, Tianzhu King appeared and disappeared, looked at the front, chased and disappeared, waited for a few days to show up again, chased again, chased and disappeared again.

  Old Cheng has never fought such an aggrieved battle.

  Brother Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun came here with dark faces. The two Hebei burly men had been sunbathing on the plateau for more than a month, and they were completely sunburned like charcoal.

   "I heard that the trace of King Tianzhu was discovered again?"

"Um."

  Old Cheng knew that the two brothers were dissatisfied with him, and he was also rude to them.

At that time, Lao Cheng was in Prince Qin's Mansion, and Xue Wanche was building the Prince's Mansion. This guy was extremely brave, and his bravery was even higher than that of Lao Cheng. Xue Shixiong, a famous general in the Sui Dynasty, followed Luo Yi, followed Jian Jian, and fought many victories, but also many defeats.

  Anyway, when Xue Wanche fights, he either wins or loses. There is no third result.

   This kind of person is suitable to be a forward, so Qin Lang specially transferred the Xue family brothers who had a good relationship with Chai Shao to Lao Cheng of the South Route Army to act as a forward for him.

Xue Wanche ignored Lao Cheng's cold face, and directly thrust his sword into the ground, "We can't be led away by the nose like this anymore, we have so many horses, we are not familiar with the terrain, and we have to carry food, grass and luggage. Those who go to the Tianzhu King, my two brothers are willing to lead fine cavalry, lightly loaded and fast forward, to intercept the Tianzhu King's troops."

  Old Cheng thought for a while, then hesitated.

   "The king of Tianzhu has a strong army and is familiar with geography. We don't have many troops. If we divide our troops, we will be easily defeated!"

"That can't go on like this." Xue Wanche took out a map and put it in front of Lao Cheng, "Our brothers have studied it, and the King of Tianzhu took us around a lot. , the river mouth is around, so we came by surprise this time. Our brothers led Qingqi to take a shortcut and rushed to Wuhai to ambush. Their cattle and sheep feed to supplement our already running out food and grass."

   "Are you sure you can defeat Tianzhu Wangjun?" Old Cheng asked back.

   "What can't be done?" Lao Xue asked unconvinced.

  The two members were also fierce generals, staring at each other for a long time without giving in to each other.

   "Do you dare to issue a military order?" Old Cheng sneered a few times.

   "Why don't you dare?" Lao Xue showed no sign of weakness.

   After taking paper and pen and writing down the military order, Lao Cheng didn't break his promise, and gave the two brothers five thousand horses, and led the rest himself.

After receiving the military order, the two brothers immediately turned around and left, not even bothering to be polite. The two returned to the camp, showed the military order and soldier amulet, ordered five thousand horses, and each carried only half a month of dry food, and then left the camp lightly and galloped go south.

   "You trust them so much?" Liu Lancheng stood by and watched Er Xue go away.

  Old Cheng was a little helpless, "What else? If this continues, I will go crazy if I don't get exhausted here. There must be a breakthrough. The bravery of the Xue family brothers is world-renowned. Maybe they can open the situation?"

Liu Lancheng stroked his long, messy beard, which he didn't have time to mend, "This Tianzhu King is really a tough opponent. We are running out of food and the soldiers are tired. I think we might have retreated north first. Go to the West Sea, contact Wei Gong first, if this situation continues, it may not be a countermeasure."

  Old Cheng rolled his eyes, "Before the division of troops to the south, I slapped my chest and said big words. Now I withdraw in such a despondent manner, I am not reconciled."

"Old Cheng, don't waste your face. We didn't do anything in vain this time. King Tianzhu was driven around by us. Although we couldn't catch him and kill them, at least it also prevented him from joining forces with Fu Yun." Join forces, right? Such an elite main force has been restrained by us, isn’t it also creating opportunities for Wei Gong and the North Route Army.”

But Cheng Yaojin couldn't listen to such a consoling question, "Don't say anything, not only me, old Cheng, who is not convinced, but no one in the army is convinced, this time I will try Er Xue's skills, if they can't , let’s think about other things.”

  Jishi Mountain Northeast, Chishuiyuan, Dadongtan.

  Two rivers flow into the Yellow River in the north, east and west, and the three rivers cut out the terraces on all sides. In May, the terraces are full of wild flowers and the water and grass are in full bloom.

  Tuyuhun people are driving herds of cattle, horses and sheep to graze on the beach.

Cows and sheep happily flicked their tails and ate fresh pastures. At the foot of the mountain, tents were connected one by one. The women in the camp were making butter and making milk tea, while the old men and women were spinning wool and weaving felts. Playing and playing, some are wrestling, some are fighting with lambs, and some are riding ponies.

  The smoke from the dried cow dung curls up, which is a beautiful grassland scene.

   A burst of fierce hooves broke the tranquility.

  The man herding sheep and horses stood up, put away the spinning ax and wool that he carried with him, and built a pergola with his hands to look into the distance. A black line appeared on the horizon, which was a large team of horses.

  The shepherd squinted his eyes, trying to see which tribe's people came.

  Suddenly, the shepherd's expression changed drastically.

  What he saw was not the arrival of a certain tribe from Tuyuhun, but a red flag.

   Tang Banner, Tang Ren, Tang Jun.

  The shepherd was flustered, and hurriedly took out the horn, and blew violently towards the sky.

  The horn sounded, and the herdsmen were awakened one by one in the world. More and more herdsmen discovered the Tang Qi that had suddenly killed them.

   More trumpets sound.

  The herdsmen got on their horses, abandoned their cattle and sheep, and rushed back to the camp frantically.

   A shepherd on horseback ran back, screaming everywhere.

  The peaceful camp was also broken. The woman stopped what she was doing in a panic, and began to stand outside the tent and call for her child loudly.

  The old man turned around and went into the yurt, took off the hanging bow and Hu Lu, stretched out his hand and put the knife on his waist again.

   He took two more knives, walked out of the felt tent, and threw them directly to the daughter-in-law and old wife who were still standing outside calling their children.

   "The Tang people are coming!"

  Screams came and went.

  The shepherds rushed back to the camp and quickly gathered together. The women and the elderly also held their knives and jumped onto the horses. The old women helped the young children onto the horses and led them to gather behind.

  A **** battle is inevitable.

  The red flag is fluttering.

  Brother Xue Wanche took five thousand cavalry, lightly armed and fast, took a detour and finally stopped a Tuyuhun tribe by detour.

  As the leader of an army, Xue Wanche rushed directly to the front. He was wearing thick armor and holding a horse spear. He moved forward bravely, and his personal soldiers closely guarded him.

  Tuyuhun warriors rode their horses to fight.

Xue Wanche yelled and charged into the enemy army first, followed by five thousand Tang cavalry who charged straight in. They were led by the Tuyuhun people for more than a month, their legs were thin, their faces were sunburned, and their The fat ran away, and now the Tuyuhun people were finally found, and they all screamed and killed them.

   It's almost a one-off.

  The shepherd is brave, but being brave is useless.

  In this camp, there are only about 5,000 herdsmen in total, including old and weak women and children. At this time, there are only more than a thousand people who are standing up to fight.

   Facing the five thousand Tang Jun Jingqi who attacked fiercely, their bravery only persisted for a moment.

  Brother Xue Wanche led five thousand cavalry in the camp, charging left and right, rampaging.

   After more than an hour, the battle ended.

   Xue Wanche's whole body is red and bright, people are blood men, horses are blood horses, he swung the blood from the knife, "Damn it, it's so fun!"

  On the beach platform, the blood soaked the ground and watered the flowers and green grass.

   "Report to the general, our army beheaded more than 1,300 people in this battle, captured a total of 4,073 people, and captured more than 20,000 cattle, horses and alpacas. Great victory!"

   Xue Wanche glanced at the men, women and children of the tribe who failed to escape and was captured, and snorted, "Why do you need so many captives?"

  The soldier who reported the report was taken aback for a moment.

  Being led by the Tuyuhun people for more than a month, everyone in the South Route Army was full of anger, and today's battle was extraordinarily brave.

   But at the end of the battle, Xue Wanche, as the chief general, still surprised this soldier who joined the army with a pen. Is it possible that Xue Huo wants to kill and surrender?

   "I see that there are many women and girls among the captives. The brothers have also worked hard. Let the brothers have a good time. As for the other old and young, it is a waste of food to keep them. They have to be guarded and killed."

   "It is ominous to kill prisoners."

   "Bah..." Xue Wanche directly shut up the soldier, "Hurry up and pick one, first come, first served, and it will be gone if it is late."

   "By the way, first pick two young and beautiful ones for me to vent my anger."

  The cruelty of the war was fully manifested at this time, Xue Wanche had no mercy at all, for the troops he had defeated, he ordered his troops to plunder and **** them at will for one day.

   On this day, everyone can let off steam. After a day, everyone puts up their pants, mounts their horses again, and continues to fight.

"When it should be hard, you should, and when it should be loose, you should be loose. Brothers have worked so hard, and there must be some rewards. Follow me, Xue Wanche, and I will never let everyone suffer." He pointed to those who were panicking. The crying woman said, "Anyway, we won't be able to take it with us. We will kill him with a knife when we leave tomorrow. Killing for nothing will be killing. Why don't we let the brothers vent their anger."

  The soldiers quickly brought two beautiful shepherd women to Xue Wanche, who looked like a mother and daughter. Xue Wanche laughed a few times, and forced them to enter the account.
