The White Tiger Camp and the Turkic Cavalry charged each other.
The earth trembled.
And in the frightening sound of horse hooves, the war songs of the White Tiger Camp since its establishment still vaguely echoed, sound by sound, sentence by sentence...
Ringing in this vast world!
Vicissitudes of life, tragic!
Heartbreaking!
The Turkic cavalry on the other side seemed to have seen a nightmare and were ready to retreat without engaging in combat.
They are the elite of the Turks, but in front of the White Tiger Camp, they dare not call themselves elite.
I don't even want to be an enemy.
Because, in past history, this represented death.
But they had a reason to charge.
Grit your teeth and fight hard!
The two armies staggered, and General White Tiger and his White Tiger Battalion severely defeated the vigor of the five thousand Turkic cavalry.
"kill!"
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
General Baihu gave a sharp shout and asked Baihuying to quickly fight back with him again.
They are very fast and can turn twice as fast as the Turkic cavalry. They are worthy of being called the fastest cavalry.
This Turkic cavalry was easily defeated by them.
This is not an opponent that General White Tiger needs to pay attention to, he is waiting! Wait for the real offensive!
"Dong dong dong!"
The earth trembled again.
On the left, in front, everything.
Judging from the sound, it was at least an army of ten thousand people.
"Hahaha, it seems that I, Pei Xingjian, am going to kill everyone here today!"
White Tiger Pei Xingjian laughed loudly, and even though his life was in danger, he returned to his former arrogance.
He is not afraid!
He is not afraid of anything!
He was only afraid of one thing today.
And that was Du Ruyan.
The girl who frightened him now was gone. He could only hope that she could escape successfully.
"Dong dong dong..."
The sound got closer and closer, and gradually, the first Turkic cavalry figure appeared on the highest horizon, then the second, the tenth...
It was so dark that there was no end in sight.
He is still not afraid.
The White Tiger Guards are not afraid either.
It's just... they're afraid it will be difficult to go back.
"It seems that it is really difficult for me, Pei Xingjian, to escape."
General Baihu's eyes flashed.
In this time between life and death, I can't help but think of some things from my life.
General Baihu has lived his whole life as a worthy member of his family, the Hedong Pei family. Although he had a falling out with the family when he was young, he took many of his clan members out of Chang'an during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, so that the Pei clan members who had taken refuge in Jiancheng were spared this disaster.
He was also worthy of Your Highness, commanding the White Tiger Camp and never being defeated. It was just this time that he failed, but he did not think it was a failure. Hundreds of thousands of enemy cavalry surrounded and suppressed him. This was the glory of the White Tiger Camp.
But he only felt sorry for one person.
What he saw in front of him was no longer a mass of black Turks and iron cavalry. It was as if he had returned to his youth and saw a pretty girl standing under the old locust tree.
"Husband, do you really want to follow that child, King Chu?"
"Um."
"How soon can I come back?"
"I don't know, maybe one year, maybe three years or five years."
"Can't you come back?"
"If you remarry, I will wait for you in hell. When you die, we will go together in the next life, and it will be me who makes up for it in the next life."
"No, husband, how could I ask you to wait for me? The day I learned of your death was also the day I followed you to hell."
"….good."
"Hehe, so, husband, fool, fool, remember to live well, you are living with the lives of two people on your shoulders."
"….good."
In the eyes of the world, the young man is an arrogant guy, but when facing her, he is a dull-headed man, and he is unable to repay the girl's love that is so hot that it almost overflows from his body. He can only say, okay...
That day.
he's gone.
No turning back.
He knew that the girl behind him was watching him leave, but he didn't dare to look back, for fear! Too scared, too scared! Afraid to see the girl's face... full of tears.
….
"If you think about it carefully, it's been quite a few years."
General Baihu laughed.
Originally, he wanted to wait for the situation to stabilize before picking her up, but Datang had been experiencing constant wars over the years, and every time he was only just about to return home before he was called to the front line.
He wants to go, he must go.
He is the White Tiger, the patron saint of countless people in Youzhou.
and!
When the Xuanwumen Incident ended, General Baihu thought it was the final turmoil, but... reality slapped him hard.
Shake your head and take a deep breath.
Think no more.
General White Tiger's eyes became sharp again, time! Got the gun!
at the same time.
The tremors on the left were getting closer and closer, and soon the first figure appeared. It was... It was a white robe that did not match the Turks.
Then, several figures in white robes covered in blood appeared.
And one of them in white robe actually lit up a blue beacon.
That is! !
General White Tiger's eyes widened, and those of the White Tiger Guards who were determined to die also widened their eyes.
"General, it's His Highness!"
"Blue Beacon, it's unmistakable, it's His Highness and the others!"
"Why is Your Highness here?"
"……."
There was a commotion among the White Tiger Guards.
General Baihu laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, it seems that God will not kill me, Pei Xingjian!"
"Brothers, change direction and go towards His Highness!!"
Baihuying responded with a yes, and their fighting spirit soared to the sky.
They all turned around and rode towards the white-robed army.
Looks like an escape.
It was indeed an escape.
Under normal circumstances, this would be the most disdainful behavior for their arrogant White Tiger Camp.
but!
There is His Highness, their faith.
Speed away.
Although the White Tiger Camp had not eaten for a day, the impact was not significant for the time being, so they quickly distanced themselves from the Turkic cavalry who were chasing them.
"Hahahahaha!!!"
"Smelly bitch, I don't deserve the death of your man today. I'll wait until I go back to pick you up!!"
Halfway through, the white tiger's heroic and wanton voice seemed to resound throughout the entire earth.
Although he has not escaped from danger yet, Pei Xingjian knows that he will definitely know about that man.
There is nothing in this world that that man cannot do.
soon.
The two armies merged.
Although all the white-robed soldiers in front of him were strangers, General White Tiger still saw familiar people, Du Ruyan, the commander of the White Tiger Camp, and that man who left!
"General! His Highness is back!"
The commander of Baihuying cried with joy.
General Baihu smiled and said, "Yes, His Highness is back."
He sighed a little, and then continued: "Then, Your Highness, what are your plans next? Are you going to destroy those Turkic barbarians?"
Li Kuan, who was wearing a face mask, smiled and said, "It's not the right time yet. Let's retreat first. I have already opened a way."
This road is the Taihang Mountain Road.
In fact, Li Kuan has been here for two days. He first escorted more than 10,000 people to the foot of the Taihang Mountains. At the foot of the Taihang Mountains, there were already tens of thousands of elite Turks guarding them. They were preparing to find an opportunity to attack the Taihang Mountains. However, at noon today, those Turks The elite troops retreated in a hurry.
It seems that because a general attack was to be launched, a general attack was urgent, and to ensure nothing went wrong, all the Turkic troops on the border joined the encirclement.
This made Li Kuan know that Baihu Camp was in danger, so he divided his troops into two groups. One group was led by Chen Qingzhi to escort the people up Taihang Mountain to the border of Liangcheng.
The other group of people will be led by him to rescue the White Tiger Camp.
The Turkic encirclement was indeed thick and terrifying, but they were all fortified in the direction of White Tiger Camp, and Li Kuan was behind them just like he was attacking the Tiele tribe.
A surprise attack opened a hole, and they rushed here non-stop to meet up with the White Tiger Camp.
"Soldiers are very fast, and time is of the essence. Let's rush out before the Turks can close the hole!"
"We are racing against time!!"
Li Kuan issued the order.
Then he and the White Tiger army led the army towards the torn opening.
.
….…….….….….
the other side.
The leader of the black cavalry, Tuli Khan, saw the White Tiger Camp and the unknown white-robed army converging, and veins popped up on his forehead in an instant.
The fat in your mouth just ran away like this, angry! Furious! !
"Who can tell me what's going on? Where did that white-robed army come from?"
"Why would any army appear in our encirclement?"
No one answered him. These were all people who participated in the war, and they only knew less information than Tuli Khan.
And soon.
Tuli Khan learned the truth from the spies sent by Jieli.
King of Chu!
"King Chu, King Chu again!!!"
"You, the haunting guy!!!"
Tuli Khan gritted his teeth angrily and threw the weapon to the ground.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could eat the skin of King Chu and drink his blood!
"Did Jieli Khan ask someone to fill that gap?"
Tuli Khan snapped.
The spy handed over his hand and reported truthfully: "It has been sent and a message has been sent."
"But... there's not much hope."
Yes.
Not much hope.
The cavalry is the king of the plains and is incredibly fast.
The entire encirclement is divided into 26 locations.
Their spies are all located in the direction of the encirclement, monitoring every move of the White Tiger Camp. As long as the Baihu Camp breaks through at any opening, the spies will soon spread the information to everyone, and let the various openings rush to help.
Therefore, it is impossible to escape from Baihu Camp!
Although there were spies outside the encirclement, they were very few, and the King of Chu knew too much about fighting the Turks, so he led the white-robed army to eliminate all the spies on the road. They were not discovered until the Turkic defenders arrived at the opening.
The Turkic defenders of that opening were defeated by the King of Chu and fled to other Turkic lands that defended the opening. It would have taken too long for those defenders to send a message to Jieli Khan and ask him to issue orders.
In addition, the defense must be re-established, which will also take time...
And these times.
Enough to let King Chu take the White Tiger Camp away!
"Damn it! Damn it!!"
When Tuli Khan thought of such a result, he felt even worse than eating a fly.
The Turkic grassland’s own garden was disrupted, and the White Tiger Camp, which was encircled and suppressed by the whole country, was still able to escape. This! What a great shame!
It can even be called the most shameful history in the entire Turkic history! !
.
….…….….….….
Khan's tent.
There are eighteen grassland khans gathered here, most of them are anxious, and some are pacing back and forth. As the main khan, Xieli, although he is sitting calmly on the chair, his legs and feet are shaking constantly.
"Whoosh!!"
Soon, a spy opened the handsome tent and walked in.
In an instant, many khans surrounded him like stars holding the moon.
"How's it going? The situation with the seventh incision."
"The eighth and sixth places, have our Turkic defenders blocked the gaps in these two places and trapped the King of Chu and others inside?"
"Say it quickly, say it quickly!!"
"……."
A pair of eyes and a voice are filled with expectations from the heart.
They are all expecting good news.
Even Jieli Khan stared closely at the spy, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Being watched eagerly by so many Khans, the spy lowered his head nervously and said cautiously: "King Chu, he...he escaped."
The words fell.
Many Khans were extremely disappointed, and Tiele Khan directly grabbed the spy.
"You're talking nonsense!"
The spy trembled and said: "Go back... back to Tiele Khan, there is no small one. When the Turkic cavalry troops from the sixth and eighth offices arrived, they only saw the corpse of my Turkic son lying all over the ground. The highest place was still covered by Hang the flag of the King of Chu’s army.”
"When our army took down the flag, they found there was a poem on it."
Jieli Khan patted the table and stood up: "What poem, please tell me!"
The spy thought for a while and then said cautiously: "Kan Fengtian raised his troops to slaughter the barbarians and barbarians. I swear that I will kill all the barbarians in the world, kill all the barbarians in the world, restore the land of the Han people, and avenge the hatred of China."
boom!
As soon as these words came out, many Khans were shocked.
The King of Chu wants to slaughter them all!
"This damn King Chu!"
Every word spoken by Tiel Khan was filled with hatred.
"Princess Yicheng, what exactly does this poem mean?"
The grassland Khan was afraid of misinterpreting the meaning, so he asked Princess Yicheng, the most knowledgeable person present.
Princess Yicheng laughed at herself: "What else could it mean, just to kill us all."
"Haha, I really didn't expect it. We thought we brought back a proton."
"But who knew that I would actually bring the God of Death home in the future..."
"The sacred mountain Langjuxu Mountain was trampled wantonly, tens of thousands of people from the Tiele tribe had a bloody feud, and today they are out of trouble. This King of Chu is just like walking on plain ground in our grassland."
"It's terrible! It should be killed! It must be killed!"
Princess Yicheng's eyes were blood red.
In the past, she had thought of drawing King Chu to her side and making him her kind.
But now, she doesn't want to.
The King of Chu killed too many Turks, who were her family members, and she wanted to avenge them!
Even if King Chu begs her to let her go, it's impossible!
This is a feud and a blood feud!
The fight will not stop until the blood dries out!
Taking a deep breath, Princess Yicheng asked: "Where did King Chu go?"
The spy quickly replied: "Liang Kingdom! They passed through the Taihang Mountains. According to the marching footprints, they are most likely going to Liang Kingdom!"
"Liang Guo..."
Princess Yicheng murmured: "Then we have to send spies to Liang Kingdom quickly and inform the emperor's sisters-in-law and others that the murderer has arrived in Liang Kingdom and they must enter a state of war."
"this……."
The spy looked at Jieli Khan.
Jieli Khan glared and said: "Look at what this Khan is doing, why don't you do it? Are you going to let the King of Chu continue to be one step ahead of others?"
"Yes, yes! I know, little one!"
The spy quickly took the order and left.
After he left, all the khans became worried again about what to do next.
Among them, Tiele Khan was determined. He told Jieli Khan that he wanted to go back to the tribe to find his Tiele people scattered all over the country, so he left.
Jieli Khan rubbed his head with a headache.
He sat in front of the stove.
"What should we do next?"
"If this god of murder, King Chu, is not dealt with, he will definitely become a serious problem for us one day."
Shiwei Khan frowned.
"How about we continue to send troops to Liangcheng to encircle and suppress the King of Chu?"
"No!"
Princess Yicheng refused directly, and then said: "After the expedition to Chang'an, coupled with the great migration across the country, we have consumed too many resources. We do not want to produce. If we continue, we will die if we continue. The King of Chu will say otherwise, A lot of people are bound to die this winter.”
"Moreover, if we continue to send out troops on expeditions, if we can't kill the King of Chu with a small number of people, we must have a big army, and if we have a big army... don't forget that around us, there are not only Tibet, but also Goguryeo."
"If reports of the battle between Langjuxu Mountain and the Tiele tribe reach their ears, and our Turkic army is encircling and suppressing us on the way out, and the grassland is empty, they will not give up the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog."
Tuli Khan slammed the table angrily, and the sound of "bang" resounded throughout the entire tent: "Are we just going to watch King Chu leave and return to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Go back to the Tang Dynasty?" Princess Yicheng sneered: "Hahaha, does he dare? There is someone there who wants to kill him, and that person's ability, General Tiance, is stronger than the King of Chu."
"By the way, speaking of General Tiance, maybe we can use Datang's help."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at Princess Yicheng.
"The King of Chu was sent away as a hostage. Li Shimin must not be able to tolerate him. Not only Li Shimin, but also Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, and many people from Li Chengqian's faction also dislike him."
"I can conclude that none of them want the King of Chu to go back. In that case, why don't we, the Turks, seize this point, tacitly agree with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and slowly grind the King of Chu to death together."
"In this world, he can't go to the Tang Dynasty. After this incident, our Turks can't come to strengthen border defense. The King of Chu currently only has cavalry in his army. He will let Liang Guo close the city gates and not fight behind closed doors."
"How can he make a comeback? In this world where the whole world spurns him, how can he win back? He has no choice, he is still a human being after all! No country welcomes him, he is an abandoned son, a wild dog on the roadside !”
"And the wild dogs on the roadside will eventually die on their own!"
Princess Yicheng said slowly.
In the big tent, the eyes of the 18 grassland khans all lit up.
His face was full of joy.
That night, the letter written by Princess Yicheng herself flew to the Tang Dynasty via pigeons.
.
….…….….….….
the other side.
On the Taihang Mountains, the entire army took a temporary rest.
There are also tens of thousands of Han people stationed here. After all, Taihang Mountain cannot accommodate too many people to spend the night, so Li Kuan knew that he must find a place to stay as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, although our army escaped from the Turkic territory and escaped the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of cavalry, food and residence are urgently needed right now. They are all urgently needed by the King of Chu."
Chen Qingzhi frowned.
Now they are in a really difficult situation. Just after solving one problem, new problems arise, as if the problem will never be solved.
Li Kuan nodded, and then looked at General Bai Hu: "Bai Hu, you are the most familiar with this place, what do you have in mind?"
General Baihu took out a map he made himself. This was a map he drew based on what he saw and heard when he went on expeditions to foreign countries over the years.
Among them, the Turkic and Liang paintings are more detailed.
He opened the map, pointed to the land belonging to the Liang State to the north of Youzhou, and said with a smile: "Although the Liang State is in a desert, there are several counties and county towns, all with fertile water and grass, cattle and sheep everywhere, and sometimes Turkic winter food If there are not enough bedding, they will ask Liang Guo for help."
"The Turks are collaborating with the Liang Kingdom, and the Turks come to our country every now and then... to the border villages and towns of Youzhou to fight the autumn breeze. Then why can't we treat others in their own way and go to the small villages of the Liang Kingdom? Or the county plundered Liangcheng’s cattle and sheep?”
General Baihu's voice fell, and he was immediately recognized by Chen Qingzhi.
"What General White Tiger said is that our army has many cavalry, or even only cavalry, which is most suitable for such a thing as plundering and supplying itself."
Li Kuan laughed: "I have approved this plan, then..."
Li Kuan inspected the two men to see which one was more suitable to plunder.
General White Tiger coughed: "Ahem, Your Highness, it must be me! I messed up and it cost me many soldiers in White Tiger Camp in seven days. Even Miss Du almost couldn't come back. Let me take the blame and make merit!"
Chen Qingzhi didn't speak, he just took a few steps forward and leaned forward a little.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he led troops to capture various cities. He relied on fighting to support fighting. He was also good at plundering.
Li Kuan smiled and said: "I have decided, it is White Tiger. You are more familiar with this grassland and the Liang Kingdom. It is better for you to plunder the cattle and sheep of Liangcheng. Remember, don't make any mistakes this time!"
General Baihu suddenly knelt down on one knee, with excitement on his face, and loudly promised.
soon.
He led all the soldiers of the White Tiger Camp and part of the White Robes to go on the expedition.
.
….…….….
The reason why the nomads on the grassland can constantly harass Youzhou's border gates is to come to the border gates to celebrate the autumnal equinox.
The reason is that they are all born cavalry.
Although cavalry has no advantage in siege, it is better because it comes and leaves without a trace.
This allows them to invade borders at will.
Once the border troops are dispatched to suppress them, they often run away without even being able to touch their butts.
The White Tiger Camp and the White Pao Army are both elite cavalry, and they go deep into the counties of Liang State, as long as they avoid the counties with tall walls.
Those small and medium-sized towns and villages are the dishes in their mouths.
A few rushes can kill all the resistance troops and steal their cattle, horses and other wealth.
There may be Han people living in those places, but there is no need to pity, the Han people are not all good, their hearts are complicated, and from the moment they join the Liang Kingdom, they are enemies.
General Baihu led his army to attack and returned three hours later.
The performance is very exaggerated.
They slaughtered two small towns in Yan'an County of Liang State with a population of about 2,000 people, and captured a total of 15,000 cattle, sheep and horses!
Li Kuan was very satisfied with General White Tiger's harvest, and asked Chen Qingzhi to lead the white-robed troops who were on guard nearby to continue to fight the autumnal equinox even in the middle of the night.
General Baihu was not idle when he came back. Li Kuan asked him to organize people to slaughter cattle and sheep for barbecue.
With the cattle and sheep, the organization went smoothly, and his people were very motivated and wanted to join the barbecue business.
soon.
Fireworks sounded everywhere, and bursts of fragrance reached their noses.
The soldiers of Baihu Camp and even the common people were sure that this was the best smell they had ever smelled.
There is no other reason.
One party has been hungry for a whole day without eating, and the other party has spent half a month as a slave. The Turks are reluctant to let them eat meat.
Although His Highness rescued them to eat meat at that time, the situation was different at that time. They had to run for their lives, and the meat was not delicious, and they were afraid that enemy troops would come next second.
Taihang Mountain is different now. The environment is safe and the food is delicious!
"Huo, this is so delicious! It's the best food I've ever eaten in my life!"
"Yes, yes, it's so delicious!"
"Oh, a kid can't eat this meat without teeth. Thank you for sending the meat. I'll chop it up for him to eat later."
"Brother, brother! Where are you? Come on, come on, I'll get a piece of mutton leg, a lot of meat, for you to eat to replenish your body!"
"……."
The crowd was in chaos.
But, it is the chaos of happiness.
