The night wind blew through the grassland and swept away a piece of grass ashes.
A headless horse team gallops through the night on the grassland.
The queue was very long, I don’t know how many people there were.
The Turks' march had few rules and seemed very scattered.
This Turkic team has lost the combat effectiveness it had six years ago. Since its submission to the Tang Dynasty, the grassland army has been organized. The soldiers have been out of battle formations for a long time and have not been trained.
The entire team was like a prairie wolf that had lost its fangs. It was for this reason that it was repeatedly defeated in small-scale battles with the Tuyuhun Khanate.
Now, a 30,000-strong tribal coalition has assembled, which is all the military strength that the Turkic tribes under the leadership of Yuan Jieli Khan can muster.
They decided to join the Tang army and fight against the invasion of the Tuyuhun Khanate.
However, they were already three full days later than the scheduled arrival time.
Judging from the scattered march of the team, this team has a big problem.
The first is the disagreement within the leader.
The Turks have been enemies of the Han people for generations, but now they have become allies of the Han people, jointly attacking the Tuyuhun Khanate, which also belongs to the grassland.
This war was destined to be rejected by many people from the beginning.
Although the new Khan who joins today is a descendant of Jieli Khan, the previous Khan was appointed by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty after the fall of the Tang Dynasty. His son inherited the position of Khan. For the Turks who have been living in the grasslands,
It lost a lot of prestige.
In addition, there was a Han among the Turkic clan who served as Khan of the Stars, and not everyone was willing to accept it.
There are many Turkic problems today, and it is difficult for anyone to stand up and win people's hearts.
If the Tuyuhun Khanate hadn't taken too big a step in invading the grasslands, there would not have been the coalition forces today.
Today, the Turkic Khan Gu Xi is a staunch supporter of the Tang faction, and Ajibado is a close confidant around him.
It was this coalition force that the two men gathered together. These two men were very anxious and wanted to quickly join the Tang army.
After all, the Tang army came to fight for them. If they were not on the front line, how could they raise their heads in the Tang Dynasty in the future?
Badu looked at the map: "In four hours, we should be able to reach Lukou Mountain."
Gu Xi looked back at her scattered team and frowned.
Now there is no need to have any hope for our army, we just hope that it can be reunited safely.
But at this moment, a wolf howl broke the tranquility of the night.
"Wolves!"
Someone exclaimed, pointing to the dark edge of the grassland and shouting.
Wolves?
To the Turks, wolves are nothing.
But when Baduo and Gu Xi saw the dark shadow under the moonlight on the side of the team, they took a breath almost at the same time.
They were so densely packed that they could not be counted. What they saw was not a pack of wolves, but a tide of wolves.
After a wolf howl, countless wolves looked up to the sky and roared in response.
The sound carried far away, causing a commotion among tens of thousands of people.
The horses were frightened, and many people fell off their horses. Some horses escaped from the team and rushed directly into the darkness.
The long queue suddenly became like severed earthworms, twisting and curling up in the vastness.
"Don't panic! Control the horses and maintain formation!" Gu Xi shouted loudly, "No matter how many wolves there are, there will never be as many people as we do! As long as we are monotonous, we will be in danger."
The Turks understood the wolves, and after the initial surprise, everyone calmed down.
Wolves will not attack groups of the same group.
As long as everyone hugs each other and doesn't get separated, the wolves will naturally disperse when dawn comes.
Of course, everyone knows that the gathering of so many wolves is definitely not the behavior of the wolf pack itself. There must be someone behind it.
After a few minutes, the team began to stabilize, and everyone gathered together to continue moving forward, but at a much slower pace.
Badu looked at the wolves on the side. As everyone expected, the wolves just watched from the side and followed them all the way. In front of this army of tens of thousands, a group of livestock still did not dare to approach.
However, Baduo felt uneasy in his heart.
Since someone is controlling such a pack of wolves, they will never appear here rashly. Obviously, tonight will not be as peaceful as imagined.
"Get your knives and be ready to deal with them at any time!"
Badu shouted loudly and drew out his knife.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of fire suddenly lit up in another direction.
"kill!"
Shouting to kill Zhentian, an army suddenly appeared and rushed over from the opposite direction of the wolves.
The battle was about to break out so suddenly that it was impossible to tell the number of enemy troops in the dark.
At this time, it was already too late to make any arrangements. Gu Xi drew his knife and shouted in response.
Two horse teams clashed. The moment they came into contact, they couldn't even make the first cut. Horses collided with each other. This time, it was a matter of competition as to whose horse was stronger. If the horse couldn't hold on, it would fall.
, if a person falls on the ground, he will be trampled into pulp in an instant.
Or if your riding skills are poor and you lose your balance and fall off, the result will be the same.
When the chaotic fighting started, Baduo ignored it and rushed into the enemy's formation alone.
The former Turkic princess had already lost her identity as a woman in order to lead her tribe to grow stronger. Years of training had made her braver than the men on the grasslands.
However, the battle between the two armies was not about individual prowess.
It's about the use of tactics.
This time, the Turkic coalition responded hastily, using its weak flanks to deal with the enemy's sudden frontal charge. In the first confrontation, the team was instantly dispersed, and the long queue was instantly thrown into disarray.
When Badu turned around, he found that except for a few close confidants of the Aji tribe, there were no other team members he could find.
Surrounded by unknown enemy soldiers, each one was extremely fierce, and his eyes seemed to be emitting a penetrating red light.
"kill!"
Badu shouted and cut off the hoof of the enemy beside him. The horse fell down and the enemy rolled off the horse and rolled several times on the ground. Badu waved the reins and rode directly on him.
But the enemy was not directly trampled to death. Instead, he roared loudly and grabbed the horse's hoof under Baduo with both hands!
Baduo's pupils shrank, he didn't expect the enemy army to be so fierce and forcefully knocked Baduo and his horse to the ground.
Badu felt his head was buzzing and thought he was dead.
Inadvertently, his daughter Yingying flashed through his mind, and he was somewhat grateful that he had sent her to a safe place.
At the same time, Bai Song's smiling face appeared, and his heart felt sour.
"Chief! Get on your horse!" An Aji tribesman came to Baduo and stretched out his hand.
Badu came back to his senses, grabbed the other person's hand and was pulled up.
Just as Baduo sat down, the upper body of the tribesman who saved him was cut off with a knife, and the blood instantly dyed Baduo's eyes red.
The tribesman fell, and Batuo had no time to feel sad and grabbed the reins to control the horse.
In such a chaotic situation, no matter who it is, as long as they fall off the horse, they will definitely die.
