After sunrise, the battle officially ended.

The sun shone down from the sky, "plated" the armor of the Tang Dynasty's athletes with a layer of gilding, making each of them as majestic as a god descending to earth.

The initial results in statistics are also so brilliant that it makes people feel proud.

More than 1,200 Tang Dynasty soldiers crushed the resistance of more than 8,000 Geluo's soldiers and horses with a destruction. They captured the special agent Luo Ge Huzhi and his 35 civil and military ministers under them, captured more than 6,700 Geluo's soldiers and killed more than 900 enemy troops in formation, and the Tang army's own war losses were less than 100!

A few days ago, Luoge Chengzong, the Geluo Khan medicine who had been raising his teeth and professing to "welcome" the king's army, took more than 20 confidants and took advantage of the opportunity of the special service to lead the civil and military ministers to surrender to the Tang army, rushed out of the camp through the back door and fled into Jinshan.

According to the grassland rules, even if he was lucky enough to escape from the sky, it would be difficult for him to gain unanimous support from the various tribes of Gelu in a short period of time. In the subsequent decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, Gelu's tribes could only be bystanders with peace of mind and never have the chance to bet on both ends.

"Have you found the person? Who was the last one to see them? Do you know where they went?" In the magnificent tent, Zhou Jianliang, the main general of this battle, had no joy on his face. He frowned and asked his nephew Zhou Quji, who had just made great contributions.

"Not found, but it is certain that they were not killed or captured by the Geluo people!" Zhou Quji responded loudly with sweat on his head. There was also not much joy on his young face.

It is certainly a gratifying thing to lose the old nest of Geluo people in one battle. However, if one of the tests and one of the actual teams lost, it would cause a flaw in the results. In particular, this team was also valued by Zhang Qian, the commander of the ruling Ye, and Luo Huaizu, the secretary of the ruling Ye army, and was regarded as the pearl in the palm of the ruling Ye army's teaching group.

"How did you make sure?" Zhou Quji looked at him with a frown, and Zhou Jianliang continued to ask.

This matter is definitely not Zhou Quji's responsibility. But as a guest general, he was uncomfortable in commanding others, so he could only trouble his nephew.

In addition, after sweeping the Turkic temple, a second alien race will not rise outside the Great Wall for at least twenty years. This means that the Shuofang Army will have no war to fight for a long time. However, the four towns of Anxi will sooner or later have direct conflicts with the ambitious cannibals. If his nephew can be taken by Zhang Qian and stayed in Suoye, his future prospects will definitely be far greater than that of his fifth-rank Zhechong Commander.

"I just offered a reward among the captives of Gelulu. A small arc of Gelulu reported that he had seen more than a dozen Tang soldiers riding horses and chasing towards Jinshan." Knowing that his uncle was thinking about him, Zhou Quji did not dare to be negligent and added in a hoarse voice. "Then, I asked the army of each regiment again, and they all said that there were no brothers under his command to lose their organizational losses. So, I calculated that Yang Guzheng and Qiu Lu were in charge of the situation, but they found that Chengzong had escaped and had no time to ask for instructions, so they chased him directly."

When Zhou Jianliang heard this, his mood suddenly relaxed, but then he frowned again, "How many people have they gone? Are there any archers involved in the bridge grabbing among the injured and dead brothers?"

"We should have gone all of them, plus Yang Guzheng himself, there are eleven people in total." Zhou Quji had a very good memory and immediately gave the answer. "From the current statistics, the casualties of the brothers mainly occurred after the attack on the inner camp. Yang Guzheng and others did not act with the brigade, nor did they participate in the strong attack on the inner camp, so they should not suffer any losses."

After thinking about it, he quickly added, "I just asked the prisoners that they almost stinged out and asked to surrender, Chengzong escaped from the back door. If Yang Guzheng and the others participated in the frontal attack, they would not be able to discover this matter no matter which brothers of the regiment were with. Therefore, the biggest possibility is that after Yang Guzheng and others entered the outer camp, they snatched the mount of Gelulu's people and immediately took a detour to the back door of the inner camp."

"What a severity lady! I am worthy of being regarded as Mulan by Zhang Zhenshou!" Zhou Jianliang couldn't help but raise his thumbs up when he heard this.

When he was the team, he would never have such a keen eye. He followed the team and rushed into the enemy camp, and immediately speculated that the enemy commander might escape. Even if he suddenly had a sudden enlightenment, he could speculate that he had no courage. He only brought a group of archers to block the enemy commander's retreat.

"The commander, I am brave enough to ask a general to pick up Yang Quzheng!" Zhou Quji was also very impressed by Yang Chengliang's vision and courage. He bowed and asked for instructions loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a shout suddenly came from outside the tent, "Prince, the First Brigade of the Teaching Corps, Zhang Si'an is asking for a meeting."

"When in and speak, Captain Zhang doesn't have to be so polite!" Zhou Jianliang immediately ignored his nephew's response first, turned his eyes to the door of the tent, and gave instructions with a smile.

"Yes, thank you for the commander!" Zhang Si'an, the deputy captain of the teaching regiment and the 1st brigade, agreed and stepped in. He first performed a standard military ritual to Zhou Jianliang, and then went straight to the point. "Report to the commander, Bei Zhi just found out that Yang Chengliang, the first brigade of the teaching regiment, led ten archers to chase Chengzong and entered Jinshan. Bei Zhi grew up in the countryside since he was a child, familiar with the situation in the mountains, and was willing to lead the brothers of this team to help her!"

"You?" Zhou Jianliang looked at his nephew, then Zhang Si'an, and he was suddenly a little confused.

It doesn't matter whether Chengzong died or lived to fight. However, if a squad leader was sent to the mountain to join forces with a brigade, it would be a bit of a big deal.

What's more, everyone was completely disgusted with the terrain and roads on Kingsoft. If Yang Chengliang did not respond, he would instead bring Zhou Quji, Zhang Si'an and others into it, then he would definitely regret it!

While hesitating, Luo Huaizu's suggestion was already remembered in his ears, "Master Zhou, please let Zhang Si'an go and take him to the First Brigade. He is more physically energetic and more familiar with Yang Chengliang. If the other party leaves a mark, it will be easier for him to discover it!"

"Well! Just as the secretary in charge said!" Zhou Jianliang was unwilling to refute Luo Huaizu's face, and at the same time hesitated to know that the other party's words were indeed reasonable. "Each person brings two horses. No matter what the situation is, he will continue to send people back to deliver messages every day."

"As for your order!" Zhang Si'an bowed solemnly.

Since he made the decision, Zhou Jianliang no longer looked back and thought for a moment, and ordered in a deep voice, "Brothers will rest here for four days, waiting for the Protector and the Chief of the Army to take over the prisoners. Within four days, whether you find Yang Chengliang or Zhang Lusu, you must bring all the brothers out."

"As for the order!" Zhang Si'an bowed again, turned around and trotted out of the tent. Immediately afterwards, the sound of horse hooves and armor came in. Obviously, he had made relevant preparations before volunteering.

"It's a rare talent!" Zhou Jianliang walked to the window, watched Zhang Si'an and others leave, and commented in his heart with a smile. Then, he turned his eyes to the vast golden mountain.

The hill where King Geluo's tent is located is located at the foot of Jinshan Mountain. Only when you stand in such a close position can you find that this mountain is towering into the clouds, magnificent and majestic, far better than any mountain range you encountered on this journey.

The snow on the top of the mountain that never melts all year round gives people a sense of mystery and mystery, which makes people feel unconsciously aroused in their hearts, wanting to climb to the highest point and explore the truth behind the clouds.

"We must catch up with them before dark." Yang Chengliang jumped off his war horse and whispered to everyone around him. "Otherwise, once they use the night to throw us away, they will not be able to find their traces."

"It's very difficult!" Qiu Ruofeng also jumped off his mount, bent down and gasped, and responded quietly. "The mountain road is too steep, and there are always cliffs on both sides, and the horses cannot run at all. If they quietly set a trap in front..."

"They dare not. They don't know that the only ones who chased us were us, hundreds of brothers." Yang Chengliang glanced at him and shook his head gently, "If they delayed too long to deal with us, they would definitely not be worth the loss!"

This sentence is completely reasonable, and the rest of the archers nodded in agreement.

As soon as they entered Jinshan, both sides discovered each other's existence. In terms of military strength, the Gloru Khan Chengzong had an absolute advantage. However, this person only escaped with his confidants and refused to stop to fight. The reason is probably that he could not guarantee that there were only these eleven Tang soldiers who caught up with him.

"Even so, it's not that easy for us to get closer." Qiu Ruofeng couldn't stand it and continued to breathe and remind, "There is no difference between a good horse and a bad horse in this kind of road. Sometimes, walking faster than riding a horse."

This was basically correct. The archers also smiled at him kindly and nodded slightly.

The roads in Kingsoft are too dangerous, or they cannot be called roads at all. Many times, people have to jump down and pull their mounts. If they chase them too quickly, they may not have someone on their side fall off the cliff on the side of the road and fall into a ball of meat paste before the two sides fight.

"You are right. Someone needs to hike to the front to block their way!" This time, Yang Chengliang did not refute to Qiu Ruofeng, but followed his words and made a solemn proposal.

"What did you say?" Qiu Ruofeng was still surprised and his eyes instantly glared.

Walking along the road that your opponent has walked is already so dangerous, and there are still people who are planning to take the lead in front of your opponent? That means that everyone will explore a shortcut on their own without any guide or map. Or find a way to poke a new path from a place where no one has walked!
