On the Qingming Festival, on the endless grassland, two groups of men and horses faced each other from a distance. Twenty thousand Turkic cavalry, under the command of Tan Khan, slowly approached with ten troops. Amidst the desolate horn sounds, the blood of each Turkic soldier It seemed to be ignited, and a pair of eyes became hot in this atmosphere, like a beast that chooses people to devour.
A strong look of awe flashed across Yang Ji's eyes. When he and Yang Guang, Shi Wansui and others went on the Northern Expedition, the Turks did not have such momentum. The Turks back then were like wild beasts that could only run rampant. The 20,000 troops in front of them have military formations and military discipline that they did not have before.
In the past, the Turkic army relied on the personal prestige of the great khan, little khan, and chief. Once their morale was frustrated, they would collapse; but the current army has a somewhat commanding and prohibitive appearance. The loose formation that roared arrogantly was much more restrained and more dangerous.
The Turks obviously suffered a lot, and slowly changed their previous fighting methods and began to learn from the strengths of the Sui army.
If the physical strength of his own army was at its peak, Yang Ji himself would not be afraid of the 20,000 Turks. But now, since his army entered the Great Lakes area, they have been running and fighting, and their physical strength has been reduced to the extreme. Of course, they can fight this with will. In a battle, the inferior strength and physical strength of the army will inevitably cause heavy casualties to the army. Such a tragic victory is not what Yang Jizhi wants.
But this battle must be fought, otherwise this army will follow us not far or near. By then, not to mention causing damage, our own safety will not be guaranteed. Rather than doing this, it is better to fight fiercely before the enemy understands the true situation of our own army.
While Yang Ji was thinking hard about countermeasures, a powerful Turkic general came to the front of the two armies, waved his mace, and spoke in Turkic language that Yang Ji could not understand.
"What is he talking about?" Yang Ji looked at Xue Ju next to him in confusion.
"This person wants to fight with us." Xue Ju simply replied, and asked for orders: "Your Highness, please allow the last general to fight."
According to past practice, before the two armies fight, there will be a battle between generals. If you can kill the generals in front of the battle, it will not only inspire your own soldiers, but also attack the enemy soldiers. Many military generals also hope to show their strength in this way. Brave.
If you don't dare to fight, your own morale and heroism will be reduced. However, as the war in the Central Plains progresses, the fighting methods have evolved. In many cases, Confucian generals who are not good at using force are leading the troops. Over time, in the Central Plains, There are fewer and fewer generals in war.
The grassland believes in respecting the strong and worships warriors, so warriors from various tribes sometimes fight for a woman, a sheep, or a cow in a duel, so fighting in front of the battle is quite popular.
"Accurate!" Yang Ji was full of confidence in Xue Ju's martial arts. Although Xue Rengao, known as the 'enemy of ten thousand people', was still young, his father's martial arts were also quite powerful.
When Yang Ji saw Xue Ju changing his horse, his heart suddenly moved and he said, "If you delay the war longer, I will have a way to defeat the enemy."
Xue Ju asked: "Uh, what can we do?"
"Fire horses charge the camp." Yang Ji chuckled and said, "You said you wanted to use fire horses to charge the camp that day. Because conditions did not allow it, you couldn't implement it, but now you can. You have to buy me time."
War horses are precious in the Central Plains, but they are not a rare thing in the grasslands. Even if they burn all the spare war horses, they can still snatch them, but the soldiers lose one combat power if they lose one person; which one is more important, Yang Ji Still know.
"I understand, general." Xue Ju saluted with his fists clasped, then rode his horse slowly toward the enemy general.
"Bring the extra war horses up, tie them together in teams of three and two, and then pour kerosene on them." Yang Ji gave the order to the guards around him. Thinking of Marshal Lin's Fire Bull Formation, he ordered uneasy: "Use a horse-repelling gun to secure it, tie it tightly, and cover the horse's eyes."
"Here." The soldiers shouted and hurried forward to prepare. Yang Ji called two more generals and asked them to lead troops to help.
While the army was preparing intensively, Xue Ju walked slowly towards the enemy general. Although he had to prepare time for the army and slow down as much as possible, the distance between the two armies was less than a thousand steps, and he soon reached the enemy general. In front of the enemy general.
Seeing Xue Ju walking slowly, the Turkic enemy general thought that he was sent to die by the enemy general, so he delayed the time in every possible way. When he saw that Xue Ju finally broke away from the army, he impatiently rode forward. It was a blow to Xue Ju.
However, when Xue Ju saw the enemy general coming with a stick, he instinctively swept over. In the stunned eyes of the Turkic general, the horse reflected the dim light of the morning, dragging a beautiful arc in an instant, and then swept away. Passing through the throat of the Turkic general, his big head fell from the air to the ground with the hot blood gushing out of his neck.
"Ah this..." Xue Ju, who had killed the enemy general, was frightened. He dared to swear to the sky that he really didn't mean it, but that the enemy general was so bad that he couldn't avoid even one move. He cut her off in two.
But at this point, he couldn't make up for it, so he had no choice but to scream strangely at the Turkic army formation. His expression was extremely arrogant, which was completely opposite to the slow and timid appearance before.
It gives the impression that after killing an enemy general, Xue Ju, who lacked confidence, gained a little more confidence in his martial arts.
Tan Khan was shocked when he saw that the warriors he sent were killed by the opponent with a single blow, but he didn't think there was anything surprising about Xue Ju. Moreover, the person who died was not the strongest man under his command, so he was not satisfied with this scene. He didn't take it too seriously and immediately ordered the bravest warriors in the tribe to fight.
When two horses meet, they are ready to fight.
With a muffled sound of "Qiang~", the knife and the spear collided in one place, and the violent collision echoed on the grassland.
The sound of "Qiang~Qiang~" was heard endlessly. In just a moment, the two people's weapons collided with each other more than ten times in succession, and then they both stopped their horses. The hedging turned into a 'close' fight with horse head against horse head. , the fight between the two made the soldiers of both armies excited, and they cheered for their generals.
Yang Ji watched for a while and then lost interest.
The two are not competing at the same level at all. If Xue Ju hadn't delayed time and deliberately let go, the enemy general would have finished the game within ten days.
…
Time flew by quietly during Xue Ju's performance, and Sui Jun was almost ready.
"Your Highness, the fire horse is ready." Su Dan stepped forward with a tired look on his face to report. This boy has been following the army for a long time and has seen too many killings. He seems to have become numb. He no longer shouts about "benevolence, justice and morality". ', 'Treat everyone equally'.
"How many teams of fire horses are there?" Yang Ji asked.
Su Dan smiled bitterly and said: "I am worried that the Turks will notice if it takes too long, so I only prepare two hundred teams."
"Two hundred teams?" Yang Ji was shocked, how fast these people were.
"yes."
"That's enough." Yang Ji looked forward and ordered the ordering soldiers beside him: "Blow the trumpet and ask General Xue to kill the enemy general and retreat."
"Here."
The ordering soldier responded and immediately blew the horn.
The sound of "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong" reached Xue Ju's ears. He yelled loudly, deflected the enemy's sword with one blow, and pushed forward. With a 'pop' sound, Ma Shan stabbed into the enemy general's chest.
The Turkic warrior looked at Xue Ju in disbelief, with a pair of doubtful eyes that seemed to say, "Everyone is half-assed and having a good time, how can you do this?"
"Hey!" Xue Ju didn't care what he was thinking. After throwing the enemy general off his horse, he turned around and ran away without saying a word.
"Kill!" Tanhan Khan saw that his soldiers fell into deathly silence in an instant. He was afraid that if he took a moment, his soldiers would be reduced. He immediately pulled out his sword and ordered fiercely: "The entire army will cover up and kill."
