Although the Turkic King wanted to annihilate the Tang army in front of him, he also knew that the guard leader was right. He was not a fool. The person who could sit on this throne did not only know how to eat, drink and have fun. He no longer insisted on it at the moment. Under the escort of the escort, they climbed down the hillside, mounted their horses, and retreated back.
Seeing the Turkic King trying to escape, Cheng Yaojin's eyes turned red. This was an opportunity he had finally encountered. If the Turkic King escaped, he didn't know when he would meet him again, so he immediately put aside his opponent. He rode his horse and led a group of cavalry in pursuit of the Turkic King.
On the battlefield, Yuchi Jingde saw Cheng Yaojin chasing the Turkic king, and he also wanted to pursue him, but someone must be commanded here, otherwise the army will be in chaos without a commander, and it will be lost.
He secretly scolded Cheng Yaojin for being cunning, forcing him to stay here to command the army to fight the Turks, and to chase the Turk king himself. It would be a great achievement if he really caught him!
But now Yuchi Jingde has no choice but to comfort himself. If he can annihilate the Turks here, it will be a big achievement!
In Dingxiang City, Li Jing stood on the city wall, looking at the wind and snow in the sky, frowning, and holding a report in his hand, which Li Ji had just ordered.
The report mentioned the various benefits of the igloo and praised Luo Zhang a lot. Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
I had only heard about the igloo from Luo Zhang before, but had not seen the actual thing. If the igloo could not be built, judging from the weather, they were afraid that they would have to go back to their old ways and retreat back to the division!
It is impossible to fight in such weather. The Turks relied on this kind of weather to escape many disasters in the past. Even if they were defeated, they would have a chance to breathe thanks to this weather. In the coming year, the Turks will become another hero and will harass the Tang Dynasty again. , so this is the reason why the border troops have never been reduced!
Fortunately, Luo Zhang's igloo is not just talk on paper, but can indeed withstand the severe cold.
According to what Li Ji said, the igloo will not melt even if there is a fire inside. Not only can a fire be made for cooking in it, but it is also extremely warm, and there will be no trouble with frostbite. It is simply a miracle!
With this thing, the Tang army would not have to retreat, but could continue to struggle with the Turks in the northern winter, without giving the Turks a chance to breathe. Maybe this time they could really annihilate the Turks in one fell swoop!
While the news about the igloo was good, Li Jing was troubled by another matter.
Luo Zhang ran away again and led his troops to chase Cheng Yaojin and the others. Although Luo Zhang did the right thing, this time Luo Zhang acted alone without Li Ji by his side, which had to worry Li Jing!
Although the Turks were defeated, their army was still capable of fighting. What would happen if they encountered a Turk army?
His Majesty gave him an order not to let Luo Zhang go to the battlefield. He had made an exception before. Although he was not facing the enemy head-on now, it was not much better!
"Oh, it's such a headache. Why can't you just calm down for a while!" Li Jing shook his head, feeling helpless!
When Yuchi Jingde entangled the Turks' troops and horses in a battle, Hou Junji also came with his troops.
Seeing Hou Junji arrive, Yuchi Jingde smiled brighter than a chrysanthemum.
"Lao Hou, you command the army and horses and annihilate all these Turkic bastards. I will go and recover Yao Jin to avoid any accidents!"
Without waiting for Hou Junji to speak, Yuchi Jingde called his personal guards and went in the direction of Cheng Yaojin's pursuit, leaving Hou Junji in a mess in the wind and snow, cursing Yuchi Jingde for being unrighteous.
The battle lasted for a full hour before it ended. It was not that Cheng Yaojin and others wanted to end it, but because the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the battle could not go on at all, otherwise the Turkic army might really be wiped out.
The Turkic army retreated, and the pursuit by Cheng Yaojin and others ended in vain. Finally, the army converged and retreated backwards.
"Damn it! Is this Turkic King a rabbit? He runs so fast!" Cheng Yaojin cursed.
On the side, Yuchi Jingde snickered and said: "Don't tell me that I run fast, you are still too slow. If it were me who chased you, I would definitely catch you!"
"I can't catch up, but you can't!" Cheng Yaojin retorted!
"You two, now is not the time to talk about this. We are chasing too far. Now we should consider how to avoid this snowstorm. Otherwise, let alone continue to chase the Turks, we are afraid that we will freeze to death in this snowstorm! "Hou Junji interjected. Regarding these two people, he was quite speechless. He only thought about chasing down the Turkic King and didn't even look at what time it was!
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde had never thought about this. When Hou Junji reminded them, they discovered that the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the temperature had dropped a lot.
No wonder the Turkic King said in the end that they would all freeze to death here. Perhaps he had predicted this and would not continue fighting with them, but retreated!
"Didn't that guy Luo Zhang build an igloo? With that thing, wouldn't we be able to escape the wind and snow?" Cheng Yaojin said.
"That's just what Luo Zhang said. I don't know if it can be done yet. We are too deep now and don't have much supplies. We have to return to the army to join Li Ji and the others!" Niu Jinda suggested.
"If it weren't for this horrible weather, the Turkic King wouldn't have been able to escape at all!" Yuchi Jingde said bitterly.
Just as everyone was turning back with their horses to look for Li Ji, Luo Zhang had some bad luck and encountered a group of Turkic cavalry.
Looking at the group of Turkic cavalry surrounding them, Luo Zhang sneered.
In his opinion, this group of cavalry should be the Turks who had fled before, because they did not have any generals worthy of his attention. If there were too many troops and horses, and there were people to command them, it is impossible for Luo Zhang to order a retreat immediately, using force No matter how high he is, he can't stand up to the crowd tactics. He doesn't want to be surrounded and beaten by people!
However, he was not afraid of the group of cavalry in front of him. The sled was not only used to pull people and goods, it also had other uses. However, time was tight and Luo Zhang hadn't explained it in detail yet!
"Listen to my order, everyone, pick up the sword!"
There were many horse-cutting knives tied on the sled. At first, the soldiers had no idea what the use of them was. Luo Zhang only said that they would know when the time comes. Now that Luo Zhang was giving orders, it seemed that it was time to use the horse-cutting swords!
"Click rub rub~"
One after another, the soldiers picked up the swords from the sleigh!
"After the impact, raise the sword to chop the horse's legs!"
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Luo Zhang meant.
They are on the sled. If the war horses are galloping and driving the sled, once they encounter the Turkic cavalry, they only need to extend the saber horizontally and intersect with the Turkic cavalry. The speed and the sharpness of the saber can easily cut off the Turks. Cavalry horse legs.
And how much combat power can the Turkic cavalry exert without their horses? It's like a lamb to be slaughtered!
Thinking of this, everyone in the Tang army was so excited that they roared and drove their sleds towards the Turkic cavalry.
The Turkic cavalry had never seen a sled before, and they did not understand the Tang army's strategy. Looking at the Tang army rushing towards them, the Turkic cavalry was naturally not to be outdone, and also waved the sword in their hands and charged towards the Tang army.
