After listening to Liu Dewei's words, Li Zhiyun asked: "You have so many troops, why do you still let the Turks do whatever they want?" Liu Dewei was speechless when asked, his mouth opened, but no words came out, so Li Zhongwen had to explain.

He said: "Your Highness is unaware of something. The Emperor has already decreed that no matter what the Turks do, they are not allowed to conflict with them."

"What the bastard..." Li Zhiyun said halfway and swallowed back the rest of the words. Even though the emperor was his father, it was treasonous for him to say such things. He suddenly remembered Jiang's non-resistance policy in his previous life.

, every time he saw this paragraph in a history book, he would gnash his teeth with hatred. He didn't expect that this bastard policy had a long history.

Li Zhiyun did not dare to slander his father's will, so he had no choice but to yell at Li Zhongwen, "Then you will just sit back and watch? Are you still soldiers of the Tang Dynasty? Have you fulfilled your responsibility to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

Faced with Li Zhiyun's accusation, Li Zhongwen said nothing: "Yes, yes, I know the crime, and I have neglected my duty. However, I really can't do anything..."

Li Zhiyun calmed down. He knew very well that there was no reason to get angry at Li Zhongwen. He was just following orders. The most urgent task was to get those abducted women back. Thinking of this, he said to Liu Dewei: "Turkish

How long have people been gone? Where have they gone?”

"I left two days ago, heading north, maybe back to the Turks."

Walked for two days? If you set off now, you may be able to catch up. If those young women are caught by the Turks, there is no need to guess what kind of inhuman torture those young women will suffer. Li Zhiyun turned to the two subordinate officials and said: "Zhang

Right, Cai Hu, let's go to the military camp." After that, he didn't say hello to Li Zhongwen and led his men away.

Li Zhiyun and the others left the General Manager's Mansion and rode to the military camp. After seeing Scarface, Duan Que and others, he told them the situation, and then called Duan Que, Yinggu and dozens of other followers to stay and asked them to find

He stayed in the post house and led the new army to chase the Turks.

The team left Jinyang City and marched all the way north, marching as fast as possible. However, whether it was because of the two days difference or because the Turks were running too fast, they pursued them all the way to Yanmen Pass without seeing the Turks.

Human shadow.

When the team came to Yanmen Pass, Li Zhiyun reined in his horse and looked up at this majestic pass. Zhang Zheng, who was riding behind him, said: "Your Majesty, we have chased so far and still haven't caught up with the Turks. They are afraid

She has fled back to the Turks, should we still chase her?" Li Zhiyun said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Chase! Even if we chase the Turks, we must snatch those women back!"

The team passed Yanmen Pass and meandered along the main road. When passing through Mayi City, Li Zhiyun asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city and learned that the Turks had just passed by the day before. He felt refreshed and urged the troops to speed up their march.

A large group of people marched on the Mayi Ancient Road. The mountains on both sides were rolling. The mountains and plains were covered with lush forests and the scenery was beautiful. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent all his famous generals and ambushed heavy troops to lure and annihilate the Xiongnu army on the Mayi Ancient Road. Although he failed due to various reasons,

It succeeded, but it opened the prelude to the war against the Huns. After more than two hundred years and more than ten generations of efforts, the powerful Huns were finally defeated, forcing the southern Huns to annex and the northern Huns to flee to Europe, which fully demonstrated the tenacity of the Chinese nation.

Unyielding fighting spirit.

After a day of rapid march, at dusk, the dispatched scouts came back to report that they had discovered a Turkic camp five miles away. Li Zhiyun was riding on his horse, looked up at the red sunset, thought about it in his mind, and decided that it would be better to rescue people at night.

Well, it was not convenient to move during the day. So, he ordered the new army to camp on the spot and wait until dark before setting off.

In the Chinese military tent, Li Zhiyun, Scarface and several other generals sat around the table, studying the drawings brought back by the scouts, which showed the location of the Turkic camps. The terrain in this area is undulating and lush, making it suitable for camping.

There were not many places. The Turkic camp was divided into two camps. One was where the main force of the army was stationed, and the other was where the robbed women were imprisoned. The two camps were about two miles apart.

While everyone was discussing, a guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Manager Li is here." Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyun stood up quickly and saw Li Zhongwen bursting into the tent in a dusty manner. He came to Li Zhiyun, cupped his fists and said:

"Your Highness, the last general has brought five thousand soldiers and horses, and he is willing to work with you to beat those gangsters severely!"

When Li Zhiyun heard this, he jokingly said: "Manager Li, if you disobey my father's will, aren't you afraid that he will punish you?" Li Zhongwen waved his hand and said: "I can't control that much, let's fight this battle first! The emperor wants to

Pick off my head and let him go!"

"Okay, now you look like a man!"

Li Zhiyun originally planned to rescue only the robbed women, but now Li Zhongwen brought 5,000 troops. In this way, they greatly surpassed the Turks in terms of military strength. Li Zhiyun decided to change his strategy and first rescue the robbed women, and then encircle and annihilate the Turks

army.

Li Zhongwen volunteered to lead the team to rescue the robbed women in person, saying that as a parent official, he had failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect the people, and doing so could be regarded as atonement. Li Zhiyun thought about it and felt that if the new army was used to rescue people, firearms would be easier to use.

cause

In case of accidental injury, it would be better to use swords, guns, arrows and crossbows, so he agreed to Li Zhongwen's request. He asked Scarface to send a battalion to assist Li Zhongwen. In the event that the rescue was successful and the Turks were chasing behind them, they could use firearms to suppress the opponent and cover the women.

Evacuate.

As night fell, Li Zhongwen set off with his team. There were 500 Turkic soldiers guarding the robbed woman in the camp, and Li Zhongwen took 1,000 people, plus a battalion of the New Army.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Turkic camp and entered a nearby forest. Li Zhongwen hid behind a big tree on the edge of the forest and observed the Turkic camp.

A round moon hung in the night sky, spreading a silver veil to the earth, and everything in the camp was clearly visible. The Turkic soldiers cut down trees and built a barracks. Probably because it was a temporary camp, the barracks were simple and wooden.

The gap between the piles and the wooden piles is large, and there is only one crossbar, so people can get in from underneath. However, from time to time, Turkic soldiers patrolled along the camp fence.

Li Zhongwen saw that there were more than a dozen tents in the southeast corner of the camp. They were probably Turkic soldiers living there, because the women who had been robbed were all staying in the open air. They were sitting crowded in the open space in the center of the camp, a large area of ​​darkness. These women

Forced to leave their hometown and relatives, being driven like livestock, and left alone and helpless, it can be said that "weeping and walking in the morning, sitting in mourning at night", what awaits them will be an unknown fate.

Li Zhongwen asked his soldiers to call several generals over, assigned them tasks, and agreed with everyone to launch an attack in a quarter of an hour.

When the time came, the soldiers of the Tang Army rushed out of the woods. Li Zhongwen held a big sword in his hand and took the lead. As soon as he got into the camp fence, he was discovered by the patrolling Turks, who shouted loudly. Li Zhongwen rushed forward in a few steps and swung his big knife.

One soldier was killed, and others rushed forward to eliminate the patrol.

Li Zhongwen led people to rush to the tent in the southeast corner. The Turks in the tent had been alarmed and ran out with weapons in hand. After the two sides met, they started a desperate fight.

The women who were robbed were frightened and overwhelmed by the sudden fighting. They held their breath and stared blankly at what was happening in front of them until the soldiers responsible for guiding the evacuation ran over and asked them to run toward the woods.

Only then did he realize that he had been saved. Soldiers had already demolished a large section of the camp fence, and the women rushed towards the woods like a tide, and soon disappeared.

The fighting in the southeast corner was still going on. The New Army soldiers wanted to join the battle, but the two sides were fighting in a melee and could not fire at all. They could only stand around and watch the battle. Seeing that they could not resist, some Turkic soldiers tried to escape, but they were like beating rabbits.

was beaten to death with a firecracker.

After Li Zhongwen led the team to rescue the robbed woman, Li Zhiyun directed the remaining troops to surround another Turkic camp, and more than thirty red cannons were mounted on a nearby mountain. After everything was ready, Li Zhiyun ordered the cannon to be fired.

The red cannon spewed flames in the darkness, and the shells roared down the mountain, slamming into the tents in the middle of the camp. With the loud explosion, many tents burned. The sleeping Turkic soldiers were caught off guard, and some soldiers

were blown to pieces, some soldiers were blown away by the air waves

Shocked, many soldiers had no time to put on their armor or pick up their weapons, so they ran out of the tent and scurried away. A frightened war horse ran wildly in the camp. The air wave generated by the explosion in front lifted it into the air. When the horse fell, it happened to hit a

A Turkic soldier, as a result, both man and horse died.

The Tang army launched an attack from all directions, and the New Army soldiers were at the forefront. They shot with muskets and threw grenades at the enemy. The Turkic soldiers fell in pieces like cutting leeks, and the sounds of explosions, shouts, and screams formed a complex

A magnificent war symphony.

Li Zhiyun stood on the hillside, observing the spectacular battle scene with a telescope. The fire on the battlefield reflected his face red, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: Anyone who offends my strong man will be killed no matter how far away! You can just run away.

No matter how far you are, I will catch up with you and drive you all away!

This was almost a one-sided battle. The Tang army soldiers who had the upper hand were high-spirited and fierce. The Turks were defeated and had no fighting spirit. Facing the powerful offensive of the Tang army, the unsuspecting Turks could not resist it. Except for Qilifu

Except for leading a dozen people to escape, the rest were all wiped out.

This battle was a complete victory, not only rescuing thousands of robbed women, but also annihilating 5,000 Turkic troops and capturing a large amount of military supplies. The soldiers who had stayed up all night were in high spirits and immediately moved to camp after cleaning the battlefield.
Chapter completed!
