Business trips also need to be pompous. In terms of quality of life, Li Qinzai has never wronged himself.
There were more than 1,000 horses, and more than 100 horses were left. A small number of these horses were filled with Li Qinzai's personal belongings, from luxurious fresh water to exquisite gourmet food. Even toilet paper was packed in a separate horse bag.
Fifth Young Master was used to being delicate and used other tools to wipe his butt when he coughed.
The Li family members who were traveling with him had long been accustomed to Li Qinzai's style and didn't care about it. The Thousand Forbidden Army looked a little sideways. The extravagant style of this playboy was a bit too much. It was hard to imagine that such an exquisite person could complete the emperor's mission. given the task.
The team had only been gone for less than a day, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army were already a little disappointed with him. Most of them thought that this man was just looking for qualifications, and stopped and visited the mountains and rivers along the way.
When he arrived at the place, he made a few perfunctory remarks and left immediately, returning to Chang'an to fool the emperor. He described the experience of this trip as a near-death experience. He had accumulated enough qualifications and was about to be promoted to a higher rank.
In everyone's guess, Li Qinzai would definitely do this.
As a result, there was an inexplicable negative mood in the team. Just like Li Qinzai's exquisite life, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army also became lazy. The leader rushed to gain qualifications. What energy did the Forbidden Army have? Let's all hang out together.
Li Qinzai also saw the performance of the Imperial Guards, but he didn't say much.
On the way, do what you like, just don't drop your chain when you encounter the enemy. People who have lived two lifetimes do not need to pretend to be impassioned all the time, shouting slogans about dying for the country every day as if they were drunk. That's what we call exhaustion.
Starting from Chang'an, we walked northwest to be precise. After passing Jingzhou and Yuanzhou day and night, we finally reached Guanzhong, and the scenery along the way gradually became desolate.
It was completely different from the prosperous Guanzhong. After leaving Yuanzhou, Li Qinzai and others seemed to have entered a different world. Deserts and yellow hills are everywhere here, and even the roads have become extremely rugged and difficult to navigate. Worried that the horses may have injured their hooves, the group had to slow down their pace.
After walking for ten days, as we approached Lanzhou, the surrounding environment had almost become a no-man's land, with only jumping antelopes and various foraging wild animals, as well as increasingly deserted mountains and plains.
At noon, Li Qinzai ordered the soldiers to dismount and rest where they were, and eat dry food and drink water.
While the soldiers were eating and drinking, a scout who was exploring the road came running up and hurriedly reported that there was an enemy situation ahead.
Li Qinzai felt nervous, so he ordered the soldiers to mount their horses and prepare for battle.
The combat quality of the Forbidden Army was indeed impeccable. After hearing this, they immediately stuffed their rations into their arms, mounted their horses, pulled out their weapons, and stared solemnly ahead. Under the command of Sun Congdong, the soldiers quickly assembled into an offensive formation.
Li Qinzai stood on horseback at the rear, surrounded by members of the Li family.
The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall. Of course, Li Qinzai could not charge with the soldiers. Without the diamond, he would not be able to work with porcelain.
After a long time, billowing smoke and dust were vaguely visible in front. A group of people on horseback ran towards Li Qinzai crazily. Not far behind, a group of people wearing leather robes were chasing. The two groups of people chased each other one after another. Let out a maniacal laugh.
Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes and still did not issue the order. Until the enemy and ourselves were unclear, he could only tell the soldiers to stand still.
At this time, Old Wei turned his horse's head and came closer, and said softly: "Fifth Young Master, the group in front should be herdsmen from the northwest. The group chasing behind are wearing leather robes and felt hats. They seem to be the army of Tuyuhun." …”
Li Qinzai was slightly shocked: "This is Lanzhou. Why did Tuyuhun's army go to the territory of the Tang Dynasty?"
Old Wei smiled bitterly and said: "The border between Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty is too long, and the relationship between the two countries is not friendly. Even though Tuyuhun Khan sends envoys to Chang'an every year to congratulate him, in fact Tuyuhun often enters the country to rob our people and herdsmen of the Tang Dynasty. Act of."
"In short, Tuyuhun often looted. Tang Dynasty couldn't stand it and slapped him. Tuyuhun continued to loot after being honest for a while. This is generally the relationship between the two countries."
Li Qinzai's face darkened: "So, those being chased in front are my herdsmen from the Tang Dynasty?"
"This area in the northwest was once ruled by the Turks. After the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks during the Zhenguan period, many tribes in the northwest surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. These herdsmen should also be considered herders of the Tang Dynasty."
"What do you mean by 'it counts'? Since they have surrendered, they are people of the Tang Dynasty! Since they are people of the Tang Dynasty, they must be treated as human beings." Li Qinzai said flatly.
Li Qinzai stood up from his horse and shouted sharply: "Soldiers, listen to your orders!"
boom!
The Imperial Guards pulled out their weapons one after another and raised them between their brows. The armor blades made a clanging sound.
"Surround up and wipe out the group chasing the Tang Dynasty herdsmen!"
Sun Congdong pointed his sword forward diagonally and shouted: "Up!"
The well-trained soldiers of the Forbidden Army rushed out on horseback and quickly changed their formations while running. A thousand people were divided into three streams on the left, center and right, instantly forming a three-sided siege on the Tuyuhun cavalry.
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were invincible in the world, and this was not just flattering. Before the collapse of the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the military might of the Tang Dynasty was indeed unrivaled in the world. Regardless of physical fitness or tactics, the combat capabilities of the Tang army were second to none in the world.
In the decades since its founding, the Tang Dynasty had conquered all surrounding countries, leaving only Goguryeo, which was on the verge of death, and Tubo, which only dared to make small moves.
The national prestige is entirely supported by a strong army. With this army, Datang can effectively speak to neighboring countries.
Li Qinzai finally saw the grace of Tang cavalry on the battlefield today.
A thousand soldiers came forward and quickly encircled the Tuyuhun cavalry. While the two groups were galloping wildly, a group of cavalry came in front of them. The cavalry were all wearing armor and holding halberds. Their familiar attire was instantly recognizable. They are Tang cavalry.
The Tuyuhun cavalrymen couldn't help being frightened and hurriedly reined in their horses, cursing and not knowing what to say. The herdsmen who were being chased seemed to have seen their savior and sped up to meet them.
The Tang army quickly passed the herdsmen and allowed them to rush to their rear. The soldiers rushed towards the Tuyuhun cavalry.
Sun Congdong, who was leading the way, took out the bamboo whistle from under his neck and blew it with all his strength. The three encircled Tang troops suddenly tightened their encirclement and pressed towards the Tuyuhun cavalry.
The surrounded Tuyuhun cavalry became anxious. The leader, a middle-aged man wearing a leather robe and felt hat, suddenly sheathed his sword, raised his hands and shouted something anxiously.
Sun Congdong ignored it at all. The order he received was to destroy all the Tuyuhun cavalry. It didn't matter what the enemy said.
Seeing that the Tang army was still charging regardless, the Tuyuhun cavalry were so frightened that they turned their horses and tried to escape. However, it was too late. Three Tang armies had completed the encirclement. Sun Congdong took the lead, holding the halberd in his hand like a sharp dagger, lightning. Generally inserted into the center of the Tuyuhun cavalry.
With a burst of shrill screams, the center of the Tuyuhun cavalry was suddenly rushed out of a blank area. Dozens of them were picked off their horses and fell on the sand, wailing in pain.
