There was a commotion among the crowd, and the eyes of the people fell on the Turkic prisoners in the square, and most of them were full of hostility.
Hearing the news that the King of Chu was going to behead the Turkic prisoners, almost all the people in Youzhou came after hearing the news.
They have been suffering from the Turks for a long time and hate the Turks very much. How could they miss this heart-warming scene?
"These damn Turkic dogs! They are here too!"
"Kill! It's best to kill them all!"
"Kill all these Turkic dogs!"
….
The crowd was furious, and it was unknown who was responsible. The common people began to throw small stones and branches at the captives in the square. The captives were tied up and unable to escape, and they were beaten in such a state of embarrassment.
Secondly, it was mainly the hateful looks of these Youzhou people, coupled with the inhuman torture they had inflicted on those people these days, that made the captives feel frightened.
In the midst of the commotion, a road suddenly parted among the crowd, and Li Kuan, dressed in black robes, stepped out, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, showing his extraordinary prowess.
Behind him, Chen Qingzhi followed closely, and a team of white-robed guards were responsible for opening the way.
After seeing Li Kuan, the voices of the people suddenly became quieter, and everyone looked at Li Kuan with incomparable reverence.
After Li Kuan walked up to the viewing platform, he looked at the many people in the audience and said seriously: "Everyone, in tonight's battle, I led 7,000 white robes and annihilated more than 23,000 enemy troops and captured 2,000 enemy troops. , there are 30,000 Turkic people, but our casualties are not even 800."
Li Kuan's clear voice spread throughout the square. After he spoke, the entire square fell silent, with only his voice echoing.
"I am not saying this to show off my merits and let you praise your virtues, but I want to tell you something..."
Li Kuan suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist, and then wiped his palm with blood on the blade.
Li Kuan raised his bleeding palm and said firmly: "I hereby swear an oath! As long as I am in front of you, the Turks will not dare to bully you!"
"Today, a total of more than 30,000 Turkic prisoners will be used to sacrifice the blood of all the departed souls of Youzhou in the past month!"
Li Kuan's voice was stern, and then he threw his dagger into the square with his backhand. It was deeply inserted into the bluestone slab, and the handle of the knife kept shaking.
"cut!"
Following Li Kuan's order, the white-robed soldiers immediately stepped forward and swung their swords fiercely. More than 30,000 prisoners' heads fell to the ground, and blood spurted out and flowed into rivers!
The entire plain is like a hell on earth!
Many people turned away and did not dare to look any further. Some were even so shocked by the bloody scene that they vomited on the spot.
However, more Youzhou people and soldiers looked at this scene with wide eyes, and their faces were excited!
"Long live His Royal Highness King Chu!"
I don’t know who started it, but suddenly someone in the crowd shouted long live.
The title "long live" can only be given to the emperor, and it is obviously inappropriate to use it on Li Kuan.
But after this voice sounded, there were more and more similar voices!
The empire abandoned them….
Your Highness is their new king! A proud and reassuring new king!
"Long live His Royal Highness King Chu!"
"Long live His Royal Highness King Chu!"
"……."
Countless people and soldiers in Youzhou praised the greatness of King Chu.
This man.
They saw it, clearly.
He took them to heart and cared so much.
They are also willing to hold him high!
Li Kuan stretched out his hands and closed his eyes, feeling the hot anticipation.
After a long while, he turned to look at Chen Qingzhi and said calmly: "It's time to start. Collect the heads of all the Turkic soldiers and build a Jingguan in the center of the Tiele tribe..."
"promise!"
Chen Qingzhi respectfully agreed, and then went down to lead the soldiers to build the Chongtou Jingguan.
And all the Youzhou soldiers looked at Li Kuan with only deep awe and admiration.
Following such a monarch is the best destination for their soldiers!
Li Kuan killed more than 30,000 Turkic prisoners in one battle. There were three Jingguan built with human heads in the central area of the Tiele tribe. Each one was like a hill, and under the sunlight there was a soaring power. Evil spirit.
After beheading more than 30,000 prisoners, Li Kuan's reputation for rescuing the people rose to its peak. The people he saved were extremely supportive of him. There was even a storyteller who compiled Li Kuan's achievements into a nursery rhyme on the spot. Singing in the grassland.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Chen Qingzhi's eyes looked worried.
The reason why they won a complete victory this time was the same as the attack on the Turkic holy mountain Langjuxu Mountain. They were caught by surprise, so they were able to win with minimal casualties.
However, a large number of Turks escaped from the two wars. I believe that soon the Turkic grassland tribes will know that there is an army of the King of Chu in their rear, and it will be difficult to make a surprise attack.
In addition, there are now more than 10,000 people to protect, and it is extremely difficult to use their full strength in a battle with the Turkic cavalry.
Li Kuan already had an idea and said with a smile: "Ziyun, it's time for our army to join the White Tiger Camp."
"After that, we will go to Liang State and find a place for our army to gain a foothold there."
If you want to protect the more than 10,000 people in Youzhou, you need city walls to rely on.
The Turkic grassland is a grazing system and has no city walls.
Only Liangcheng and its neighbor Goguryeo had tall city walls to rely on, which could block the Turkic cavalry.
Two big countries, why choose Liangcheng?
One is that Liangcheng and the Turks are almost as one, while Goguryeo is still neutral.
Second, that is...
Li Kuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
At the same time, a system panel that only he could see appeared in front of him.
[The sign-in location is refreshed, and he invades Yanyun City of Liang State, obtains the jade seal, establishes the country, and ascends the throne as emperor. 】
He has a reason to go to Liangcheng.
.
…….….….….….
The sacred mountain Langjuxu Mountain was lost, the Tiele tribe was destroyed, and tens of thousands of Turkic people were built in Beijing.
This matter soon reached the ears of Jieli Khan and even reached the Turkic royal court.
Everyone knew that the King of Chu did not act with the White Tiger Camp. Instead, he went to his own Turkic back garden, and his methods were extremely ruthless. He slaughtered more than 30,000 Turkic prisoners and built a capital with human heads. This kind of thing is Can ordinary people do it?
The King of Chu on Jinxi's grassland began to overlap with the appearance of the terrifying demon king in his memory.
Even more ruthless than before!
In ruthlessness.
Countless Turkic people were even more afraid of that man and kept silent.
at the same time.
The military location of the expedition to White Tiger Camp, where there are countless Turkic cavalry.
At this moment, Khans from the eighteen tribes of the grassland gathered in the Turkic king's account.
"Bang!!"
Jieli Khan smashed the precious luminous cup that he had captured from the Tang Dynasty, and his eyes were bloodshot: "King Chu! Why did he run to the rear of our army!!"
Tiele Khan's eyes were bloodshot at the same time. It was his people who were slaughtered by the King of Chu. According to the Turkic spies, tens of thousands of people from the original Tiele tribe were built into the capital, with their heads piled dozens of meters high. That scene was what even the most powerful Tiele Khan was looking for. The iron-blooded Turkic men would clench their fists when they saw it, and even hold it hard enough to draw blood.
As the Khan of the Tiele tribe, he hated that man more than Tuli who was present, and even more than anyone else!
That man that they, the Eighteen Parts of the Prairie, could never forget! !
"Jie Li, I want to go back! I will take my soldiers and go back to find the King of Chu to settle accounts!"
Tiele Khan was not interested in encircling and suppressing the White Tiger Camp, and wanted to go back as quickly as possible to gather the remaining defeated soldiers and people of the tribe.
"No!"
Princess Yicheng came out and said seriously: "Tiele Khan, the encirclement and suppression of White Tiger Camp has reached the most critical moment. Such a great opportunity has only been seen in my life. We and the tribe's encirclement and suppression network are indispensable!"
These days, they are not without achievements. They gathered all the Turkic cavalry to encircle and suppress the White Tiger Camp. From the beginning, they were led by the White Tiger Camp like a horse. As time passed, their Turkic plan to clear the wilderness was successful, and the White Tiger Camp could not get supplies. Gradually, people and horses were exhausted, and it was almost time to reach the end of the mountain and water.
If Tiele Khan led his troops to leave at this moment, with General White Tiger's terrible sense of war, he might seize the gap in the defense change and lead his troops to attack and break through the siege.
They don't dare to bet on this result!
It took more than 5,000 cavalry lives these days to completely capture the White Tiger Camp. They didn't dare to let this tiger imprison him again!
It's horrifying to think about it. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry surrounded and suppressed the White Tiger Camp with only 3,000 people, leaving 5,000 lives and six days behind before they were completely trapped.
Their Turkic cavalry is famous among all countries. If it is reported that the Turkic cavalry has such a record at this time, where will their face be?
The other Khans tried to persuade Tiele Khan.
"Yes, Tiele! Eat the White Tiger Camp first!"
"That's right, the overall situation of the Qitile tribe has been decided, and there is no rush to go back immediately."
"Yes! Don't let the results of many days of hard work of our Turkic sons go to waste!"
“….…”
They all persuaded him, and even Tuli Khan, who had always regarded getting rid of the King of Chu as his first priority, also persuaded him to capture the White Tiger Camp first.
Tiele Khan looked directly at everyone with his cold eyes: "What about King Chu? He is still in the rear, maybe still leading his army to continue to slaughter the people of my Tiele tribe!"
"I promise to live in front of the spiritual throne of the Tiele Khans of all generations and protect my Tiele tribe!"
The other khans fell silent.
Seeing this, Tiele insisted on leaving...
They knew that they couldn't be persuaded.
I can't persuade a poor boy who wants to go home.
Then, we can only replace other Turkic cavalry troops to cover the gap in the original Tiele Khan's army.
They have hundreds of thousands of cavalry. With this capital, Shaotiele Khan's army can still capture the White Tiger Camp.
Just afraid...
While changing defense on the road, something unexpected happened.
Many Khans have many thoughts.
Princess Yicheng stood up and said sternly: "One day! Tiele, your tribe will stay for one more day!"
"We will launch a general attack at Youshi [six o'clock in the evening] to shrink this network! After one day, whether it is annihilated or not, your tribe can go wherever it goes!"
Tiele Khan's eyes flashed and he was moved.
"Why unitary time, why not now?"
He is anxious! Eager to go back!
Princess Yicheng said coldly: "We were born and raised here on this grassland. No other country knows the Turks better than me, and the same goes for Baihuying!"
"In the general attack at night, we Turks know how to walk through the familiar grasslands with our eyes closed, but they are different from the White Tiger Camp! They are outsiders! Their combat power will definitely be greatly reduced!"
The words fell.
Many Khans have bright eyes, this is a good idea!
Princess Yicheng is worthy of being the Turks’ first military advisor against the Tang Dynasty!
Tiele Khan touched his chin and thought for a long time.
Finally, he agreed to the Princess Yicheng plan.
"Okay, one day!"
"I'll go home in one day!"
….….….….….….
Syr Darya River.
This is one of the largest two-day rivers in Turks.
The river is still flowing, but the White Tiger Camp here does not dare to drink anymore.
This river is poisonous...
Not just here!
Wherever they could see rivers along the way, they were poisonous. Many of the tribes they saw along the way were deserted, with nothing and no one to supply them.
"General, our brothers have been hungry all day. If we continue, our combat effectiveness will become weaker and weaker. How about... we break out?"
The famous White Tiger Camp commander suggested.
After separating from His Highness, they realized the Turks' intentions the next day, so from that day on, they ate the remaining food very sparingly.
But they were light cavalry after all. They were known for their speed, so they had to throw away a lot of baggage. Even dry food could only be carried for two days.
In previous wars, they were within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, either by supplying supplies after the war, or by directly defeating the enemy and plundering them.
The Turks implemented a strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, and they were really... unable to resist.
General Baihu looked at him with complicated expressions and sighed.
In fact, after separating from His Highness, there is still hope for their White Tiger Camp to leave the Turkic territory.
At that time, the Turks had not yet reacted. They did not know how many troops came from the Tang Dynasty and where they came from.
So at that time, there was no one in Taihang Mountain to guard them, and they could leave without any worries.
Can…….
He is sick!
Yes, sick!
Arrogant!
arrogant! The disease of being arrogant!
He was always so arrogant, always.
Even though he was in the territory of the Turks, he thought that the Turks could not do anything to him, and that he would become more courageous as he fought. He even wanted to meet up with His Highness seven days later, hoping to impress His Highness with outstanding achievements.
Now, it is indeed amazing.
But it doesn't mean the same thing.
It's their White Tiger Camp that's going to be annihilated...
"General, I am ashamed of you and your Highness..."
There was a rare look of regret in General Baihu's eyes.
It would be okay if he was the only one besieged, but because of his arrogance, he took on 3,000 White Tiger Guards, and even... He even brought in His Highness's woman.
Lenovo made a vow to His Highness many days ago that we would meet up in seven days, but now even going out is a luxury...
General Baihu only felt that he was guilty.
"General, you can't say that. You have led us to create many miracles."
The commander of Baihu Camp comforted General Baihu.
Under his comfort, General Baihu's face gradually improved.
Subsequently.
He found Du Ruyan.
"General White Tiger, do you have anything to do with the little girl?"
Du Ruyan is still so stunning, and under the protection of the White Tiger Camp, she doesn't have much of a war-like appearance. It's as if she is not in a war, but is still the wonder who is known as the most talented woman in Chang'an City. woman.
"Miss Du, we probably won't be able to get out."
General Baihu reported truthfully.
Du Ruyan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she smiled bitterly and said, "What was supposed to come has come."
"You know we can't get out?"
"I don't know, but looking at your face these days, I can guess something."
General Baihu was stunned.
Du Ruyan did not look at him, but looked at the sky, her beautiful eyes full of inexplicable expression: "After all, it is still difficult to see His Highness again."
She had already anticipated this outcome before leaving Chang'an City.
after all.
How can a female prostitute survive on the battlefield? And it’s also a Turkic grassland.
She was ready to die for that man, just like the children, villagers, soldiers and others in Chuhe Village.
But when this day came, I was still so...unwilling.
She was probably sick.
After leaving His Highness these past few days, there is not a day that goes by that I don’t miss His Highness.
But if it were to happen again and she was asked to choose whether to ride with His Highness and his Yanyun Shiba, she would still choose not to.
I say I should because my heart wants to follow, but my reason doesn’t allow it.
Your Highness is riding out with more than a dozen people to do a big thing. Following him will only get in the way. With His Highness' gentleness, it is impossible to ignore him, which will seriously hinder His Highness's pace.
She couldn't ruin His Highness' important affairs just because of herself.
But if she knew the outcome today, she thought she would have the courage to hug him so that she would have no regrets.
With her courage, hugging her was the biggest transcendence.
She didn't dare to ask for too much.
"General White Tiger, if you have the opportunity to go out and join His Highness, can you give me a message?"
Du Ruyan's eyes were calm.
General Baihu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No! Miss Du, I, Pei Xingjian, will definitely die before you. No Turkic barbarian can touch you during my lifetime!"
"What if? Just in case, just a few precautions."
"Then...Tell me, Miss Du."
Du Ruyan pursed her red lips, and there were thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to say to that man. She had too many things to say to him, and she might not be able to finish them in a day or a night, or even in a lifetime.
But when the words came to his lips, there was only one sentence left, an extremely simple sentence.
"Speak for me and Your Highness, I will have no regrets when I meet Your Highness in this life."
General Baihu's eyes turned red: "Okay! I understand! I can't help you, I can't help you..."
Du Ruyan interrupted directly: "General Baihu, you have done a good job. My little girl can see it these days."
"It's just that this place, after all, is not home."
General White Tiger still wanted to speak, but the next moment, something changed suddenly.
"Boom!"
The earth is trembling!
"Turkic barbarians!"
General White Tiger's expression changed suddenly.
Judging from this momentum, a cavalry force of at least nearly 5,000 people is approaching!
This is a feint attack. The Turkic army also used it a few days ago. They did not engage in direct combat with them because they knew they could not defeat them. The reason why they attacked was just for show and did not allow them to have a good rest.
General White Tiger knew their intentions. This was because the encirclement network had not yet been completed. When their encirclement network was completely formed, they would no longer need to feint attacks and would only need to slowly shrink the encirclement circle.
"How could it be so fast?" At this time, a White Tiger Camp commander also lost his voice.
Half an hour ago, the Turkic cavalry feinted to attack. According to the past, it would have to be continued at least two hours later, but this time it was so early.
Could it be a general attack?
"The troops are divided into two groups. You lead your dozens of cavalry and lead Miss Du away!"
General White Tiger's hoarse voice could be heard in the distance, and then he got on his horse and turned its head.
He had already made a mistake once because he arrogantly asked the White Tiger Guard to pay for it. Now he wanted to use himself and the White Tiger Guard who still believed in him passionately as bait to attract attention and rush out to protect the woman who protected His Highness.
This is his path of guilt-filled atonement.
"Xilulu!"
The white horse is neighing!
The White Tiger Guards, who were still peacefully taking a nap, quickly mounted their horses, as if they were awakened, with a monstrous murderous aura...
Straight up to the sky!
"Da da da!"
Before Du Ruyan could react, he saw the iron cavalry disappear into the darkness and fly away!
With less than two thousand, they faced the Turks' 5,000 cavalry, and later it was suspected that there might even be tens of thousands of cavalry...
This is to die!
"Commander, please give me orders!" A White Tiger Guard said solemnly.
He is a soldier under the command of the White Tiger Battalion who was ordered to protect Du Ruyan. He doesn't want to stay. He wants to fight with General White Tiger!
"Walk!"
The commander of the White Tiger Camp did not hesitate at all and asked everyone to get on their horses and leave here!
"Commander, please think again!"
Several White Tiger Guards are still insisting and want to ride their horses to accompany General White Tiger...
Go to death!
"Retreat! Follow me to protect Miss Du. Violation of the law will result in military action!"
The commander of the White Tiger Camp glared at these people fiercely and his tone was unacceptable.
There are already very few people left. If His Highness's woman is not protected by a relatively large number of White Tiger Guards, and is driven out by the Turks, she will have almost no power to resist!
He also wanted to go back and kill them, but with these trapped beast soldiers and lack of supplies, death was only a matter of time.
Therefore, they must seize the opportunity created by General Baihu, take Miss Du to escape, and Bona...
A glimmer of hope!
The few White Tiger Guards were no longer persistent and rode up one after another.
Move quickly, but….
His face was full of reluctance!
At this time, a familiar voice that made their blood boil resounded, even in their ears and throughout the whole world.
"Wherever the white tiger goes, there is peace! The sky is the witness, and the oath will last forever!"
"Wherever the white tiger goes, there is peace! The sky is the witness, and the oath will last forever!"
"……."
The hoarse and low roar echoed in the sunset, looking so pale and feeble under the sound of horse hooves that made even the earth tremble.
Du Ruyan and the remaining White Tiger Guard looked at the white figure that was gradually blurring. Listening to the decisive shout, they couldn't help but burst into tears and sobbed softly.
This time, they went to attack, and they had already been determined to die!
If you never come back, then you never come back!
"Let's go, it's time to go! Don't let the general down! Miss Du living well is the best reward for the general..."
The commander of the White Tiger Camp's voice was trembling, and he was filled with tears.
Du Ruyan also burst into tears.
This most talented woman in the empire has also seen the most prosperous girl in Chang'an City, but she has never seen such a tragic scene!
She witnessed what just happened!
After several days and nights of chasing and fighting, General White Tiger's last glance was still so tired, but also full of worry. His eyes quickly passed by her, as if he was silently instructing:
Live, live!
Go and see, Your Highness….
…
ps: The Turkic trip is almost over, and I’m ready to start my next career.
