Li Ye waved his sword and said coldly: "If you want to die, I will help you!"
He rushed forward on horseback, and slashed out with his sword. A sharp cold light flashed through, and two heads flew into the air. The sword appeared and disappeared, piercing the chests of three people in a row. The five people in the front were all killed. At this time,
, a large group of warriors swarmed up from both directions, with more than a dozen spears from the left stabbing at the same time. Li Ye waved his left hand to block more than a dozen spears, and drew his sword with his right hand to slash at the nearest centurion. "Crack!" Centurion!
The long head was chopped off, Li Ye kicked the body away, and more than a dozen soldiers on the right got out of the way.
Li Ye took the opportunity to rush out from the gap and put away his sword. The sword was drawn as fast as lightning. A dozen people on the right were hacked off their horses and screamed.
He roared loudly and turned around to kill the other warriors. When the warriors saw that he was so brave and their leader had been killed, they were so frightened that their hands and feet became weak. They quickly turned their horses and fled for their lives. Dozens of them left behind more than twenty corpses.
Escape.
At this time, Su Bi got off his horse, walked to Allen, knelt down, caressed the body and cried bitterly. They had grown up together and were brothers and sisters, but Allen was killed by them.
Li Ye silently watched Su Bi cry bitterly. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Let him be cremated!"
The custom of the Tiele people is to bury after cremation. Su Bi nodded, and the two of them found a large pile of shrubs and branches, burned Allen to white bones with a fire, and dug a pit to bury his bones.
Su Bi wiped away his tears and said: "Joining the army, I found shallow water!"
"let's go!"
The two got on their horses, took their horses and belongings with them, and ran towards the north. Soon they found a shallow water stall, and their horses galloped across the dozens of feet wide river and ran towards the west.
The warriors brought Xue An's body to the chief's tent. Xue Tuo ran out and shouted, "My son!"
He threw himself on his son's body and cried loudly. Everyone was silent. Xue An was the only son of the chief. If his only son died, how could the chief let it go?
After crying for a moment, Xue Tuo wiped away his tears and said coldly: "Kill my brother and son, even if he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I will exchange my life for my life. I will kill him with my own hands and sacrifice him to my son."
The spirit in heaven!"
He turned around and shouted sternly: "Order the Iron Guards to assemble and follow me in pursuit!"
Xue Tuo's iron guards had three hundred men, all wearing iron armor and holding sharp spears. They were all extremely brave. Although there were only three hundred men, they could fight against thousands of enemy troops on the battlefield.
Not long after, the three hundred iron guards gathered. Xue Tuo also put on his armor, mounted his horse, and led the three hundred iron guards in pursuit to the north like lightning.
Half an hour later, three hundred cavalrymen rushed to the scene of the fight and saw corpses all over the ground. Xue Tuo ordered people to bury the corpses and sent people to check the ferry.
After a while, his subordinates came back and reported, "Water stains and horse hoof prints were found on the west bank of the ferry. They must have just crossed the river not long ago."
After burying the body, all the iron guards looked at the chief, waiting for his order. Xue Tuo said coldly: "They will have to walk for at least ten days to reach Jinshan. We still have a chance. Follow me, even if they run away
I will never let you go even to the ends of the earth!"
They took three hundred cavalry with them and rushed towards the ferry not far to the north.
Abusi's army of more than 10,000 was defeated again by the Uighur army. Tens of thousands of Uighur cavalry surrounded Abusi's army from all directions. The Tongluo army was defeated. Abusi broke through desperately and fled westward with his wife and 300 soldiers.
Go and join the Geluolu people.
The Tongluo tribe was destroyed, hundreds of thousands of tribes were annexed by the Uighurs, and nearly a hundred Tongluo nobles were handed over to the Tang army by the Uighur Khan.
Li Chu heard that Abusi had broken through and fled westward, so he hurriedly called Guo Ziyi to discuss the matter.
"This time the emperor has made up his mind, not only to destroy the Tongluo tribe, but also to capture and kill Abusi in Chang'an. Now that Abusi has escaped, what should we do?"
Guo Ziyi consoled him: "Your Highness, don't worry. Since the emperor wants to capture Abu Si, we will definitely be able to capture him!"
"The key is what do we do?"
Guo Ziyi pondered for a while and said: "Absi must have fled to Geluolu. He is the sworn brother of Geluolu Khan and also his son-in-law. He has a deep friendship and his humble position. It is estimated that the Beiting Army alone may not be able to suppress Geluolu."
The Gelu people, I humbly suggest sending out another 10,000 cavalry and using 20,000 cavalry to suppress the Ge Luo people, then they will have to hand over Absi!"
Li Chu nodded, "It's okay to send troops, but what about the logistical supplies?"
"Your Highness, we have thousands of Tongluo prisoners of war. We can use these Tongluo prisoners of war to exchange supplies with the Uighurs. They will definitely be willing. Then ten thousand cavalry will take the towering Khan Road, then turn around and take the Sijiebu, Sijiehe
We have a close relationship, and they will lend us a road. After Sijie Department, we will find the left wing of Geluolu Department. Then we will apply pressure together with Cheng Qianli's Beiting Army. I believe that Geluolu will definitely hand over Absi!
"
Li Chu accepted Guo Ziyi's plan, and he immediately sent Zhao Yan, a member of the army, to Jinhe to discuss with the Huihe Khan about exchanging Tongluo prisoners for sheep.
Li Chu immediately ordered Guo Ziyi as the main general and led 10,000 cavalry to Geluolu to put pressure.
Li Ye and Su Bi walked more than three hundred miles westward. That evening, Li Ye was chasing a group of sika deer on the grassland. He opened his bow and arrow and shot down a fat deer with one arrow. The other group of deer were panicked.
He ran towards the distance, but Li Ye was no longer chasing him.
Not long after, Su Bi caught up and said with a smile: "Why don't you hunt more when you join the army?"
Li Ye smiled and shook his head, "The weather is getting hot too. We can't keep this kind of fresh meat. Just hunt one."
At this moment, a few low wailing sounds were faintly heard in the distance, ‘Ooooo—’.
Su Bi's expression changed, "It's broken, there are wolves nearby, let's leave quickly!"
Li Ye hurriedly tied the fat deer onto his horse, and the two of them galloped eastward, and night gradually fell.
Su Bi is from Tiele. He grew up on the grassland until he was twelve years old before coming to Shuofang. He has heard a lot about it, heard a lot from his fathers, and has experience of living on the grassland.
His face was stern and he looked back from time to time. He knew that once he was targeted by the prairie wolves, it would be difficult to get rid of him.
At this time, Li Ye pointed forward and shouted: "There is a forest and a river ahead!"
The two were overjoyed and speeded up their horses to run towards the forest.
Soon, they lit a blazing bonfire. Li Ye washed and skinned the fat deer by the river and grilled it on the fire. Su Bize chopped down a few bamboos, chopped them into bamboo tubes and threw them into the fire. After a while, the bamboo tubes were
It exploded and made a huge noise.
Li Ye smiled and said: "Is this a firecracker?"
"This is a wolf-repelling technique passed down from our ancestors. The wolves are afraid of the sound and do not dare to approach."
"Do you think they're still following us?"
Su Bi nodded, "When I was chopping bamboo just now, I faintly heard the howl of a wolf."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Maybe it's another group of wolves that smelled the barbecue!"
Su Bi smiled and said: "My father said that grassland herdsmen have two major natural enemies, one is the snowstorm, and the other is the wolf pack. You must understand the nature of wolves in order to survive on the grassland. Unfortunately, I don't know much about it, but Allen does.
Quite a few.”
When Allen was mentioned, both of them were silent. After a while, Su Bi asked in a low voice: "Will Xue Tuo hunt us down?"
Li Ye shook his head, "I don't know, maybe! So we have to be extra careful."
After the two of them finished eating the barbecue, Li Ye stood up and said, "I'm going to practice at the bottom of the river for an hour. Don't sleep yet. You won't sleep until I come back. I'll be on guard!"
Su Bi smiled and said: "Go! I will pay attention."
Li Ye walked toward the river more than twenty steps away with his sword in hand.
