Tumidu gave him a free flattery and exited the tent.
The wind and snow were still blowing outside the big tent, Tu Midu looked at the dark sky, feeling the cool pleasure of the feather-like snowflakes falling on his face, and his heart was burning like fire.
Perhaps, after this battle, not only will the Turks completely disappear and become a term in history, but the tyrannical Xueyantuo will also suffer a heavy setback, and this will be the best opportunity for the rise of Uighurs! Stupid Xueyantuo people
, why do we have to go head-to-head with Datang?
The Tang Dynasty was too vast and had too many people, so how could it be conquered by the grassland peoples?
Don't think about occupying many cities of the Tang Dynasty, just go to the Tang Dynasty to plunder from time to time. Stabilizing the rear of the grassland is the top priority...
The sky has darkened, and the road from Yanmen Pass to Mayi City is deserted. Only the north wind is blowing heavy snow, the sky and earth are desolate, and the surrounding fields are vast.
A heavily armed cavalry raced through the wind and snow, heading towards Mayi City.
Fang Jun is located in the center, with guards at the front and rear. He covers his head with a cloak and wears a mask on his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
In front of him was a soldier with a helmet and armor on his head, the red tassel on his head fluttering in the wind, and the red cloak behind him rustling fiercely.
This is a stand-in...
What happened at Yanmen Pass made him extremely vigilant.
Forced attacks have been common from ancient times to the present and have never been interrupted. They should not be considered a big deal. Shuozhou is the private land of the Guanlong nobles. The back garden is where they started. It is understandable that they are too powerful and cannot be interfered with by others. At the time, Li Jing
From then on, he led an army to raid thousands of miles and annihilated the Eastern Turks, creating the self-defense Qing Dynasty. It was almost the greatest achievement in foreign wars after Huo Qubing. As landlords, the Guanlong nobles went out and donated a large number of soldiers, grain, and horses, but only got a few scraps.
It was a negligible contribution, but it created Li Jing's reputation as the "God of War" that shocked the world. The nobles of Guanlong suffered from this for many years.
In that battle that year, many generals with noble backgrounds from Guanlong participated in it, but all of them failed to achieve the desired results. Not even a green leaf could stand out against the red flowers...
Just imagine, if Li Jing's achievements were obtained by the Guanlong nobles back then, and now there is a "military god" controlling the situation, how could the emperor dare to unscrupulously weaken the Guanlong nobles, and why would the Guanlong nobles still need to beg for mercy like this?
So when Xue Yantuo's army marches to the border, intending to conquer Dingxiang, and boldly demands a marriage, the Guanlong nobles have already regarded it as another "East Turkic War" and will never allow anyone to come and seize what is rightfully theirs.
Credit.
In order to attack each other on the battlefield, Fang Jun could imagine how they would stumble each other, dig traps, and even deliberately release false news.
But it would be too much to directly block Youtunwei at Yanmen Pass and not allow him to leave the pass.
In the final analysis, an attack should be based on the overall situation being determined, and everyone should fight openly and covertly based on their own ingenuity. However, the enemy is currently surrounded by tigers and wolves, so why did they start fighting among themselves?
Was it calculated correctly that Xue Yantuo would not be able to launch a large-scale attack and start a brazen war?
Or do you simply not care about the outcome of the battle, have no regard for the people of Shuozhou, and don't care about the survival of Shuozhou?
The nobles of Guanlong have probably lived under one family for too long, and they don’t know the difference between family, country and the world. When the Sui Dynasty was cheated, the country was broken and the country was in ruins. The country was in ruins and the people were in dire straits. A huge empire suddenly collapsed.
, today, we still treat Datang the same way.
In their eyes, they didn't care at all about the Sui Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, or even whether the people around them were Hu people or Han people. As long as they could keep the family's glory and wealth, they would not hesitate even if they considered a thief as their father and bowed down.
They are so brave!
Fang Jun did not mind using the most despicable malice to speculate on the character of these Guanlong nobles. Since he could make the decision to block the Youtun Guards at Yanmen Pass and not allow them to leave the pass to guard the entire Shuozhou, he would not dare to do it in this ice and snow.
A brazen assassination...
The north wind was very strong, and the snowflakes were flying between the sky and the earth. As soon as the snow fell to the ground, it was picked up by the strong wind and piled up in the lee of the rocks in the mountain. Therefore, the snow on the road was not thick, probably only about half a foot, although it was not.
Run at full speed, but the speed is definitely not slow.
Gao Kan and Wei Ying closely guarded Fang Jun, their two pairs of falcon-like eyes narrowed, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.
After they came out of Yanmen Pass, they received a warning from Fang Jun, saying that they were very likely to be assassinated by "bandits and road tyrants", which made them worried.
Everyone understood what Fang Jun meant.
Where did so many bandits and road bullies come from?
It must be the border army controlled by the Guanlong nobles, who want to prevent Fang Jun from going to Mayi City...
The strong wind blew between the mountain cols in the distance, whistling like a ghost crying.
"boom"
A dull sound was hidden in the wind and snow. If you didn't listen carefully, you might be confused with the sound of the wind, making it difficult to distinguish.
But for Fang Jun and the soldiers who were always keeping their spirits up, it was clearly audible.
That's the sound of the crossbow string vibrating!
The soldier in front of him who was dressed up in "flowery" clothes hid under the belly of the horse at the moment when the crossbow string sounded. A crossbow arrow suddenly appeared above his head like a seducer from hell, and penetrated the top of his helmet.
The pointed cone adorned with a red necklace, before it was exhausted, shot the helmet to the ground.
"there!"
Gao Kan shouted loudly, took the reins and clamped the horse's belly, and the horse's hooves flew into the air, galloping away in the direction of the crossbow tip!
The entire cavalry made a turn on the road, their iron hooves trampling the frozen snow on the road, sending ice shards flying for a moment as they rushed in that direction.
Fang Jun and Gao Kan rushed at the front, their upper bodies pressed tightly against the horse's back, their eyes fixed on a small hillock in front of them.
Under such strong winds, if you want to kill with one arrow, you must close the distance, otherwise no matter how strong the bow is, it will lose its accuracy under such wind force. The crossbow arrows are shot in this direction, and this hillock is almost nearby.
The only cover, the assassin must be hiding behind the mound!
Gao Kan rushed to the front and reached the hillock in the blink of an eye. His horse jumped into the air and jumped onto the hillock. In mid-air, Gao Kan had already drawn his sword out of its sheath and shouted loudly: "Thief, where are you running away!"
Fang Jun also drew the horizontal sword in his hand, held the reins in the other hand, and led more than ten riders to ride up the hillock like a whirlwind. He saw that Gao Kan was already leading the way and killed towards the back of the hillock.
There, on the white snow, there were more than twenty black figures running for their lives in the other direction...
Not far away, a dozen horses were clearly visible in the snow, presumably because they were afraid that the horses' neighing would ruin the assassination operation.
The gap between the two sides was only about twenty feet. The war horses accelerated with all their speed, and they caught up in just a blink of an eye. Gao Kan took the lead, leaning on the horse's back, slashing down with the horizontal sword in his hand, and an assassin howled miserably.
With a sound, he was chopped on the neck from behind. A head flew up instantly, and hot blood spurted out. The headless corpse ran for several steps before losing its balance and falling to the ground. At the same time, the blood also splashed down.
On the snow...
"Ho! Ho! Ho!" Fang Jun and the soldiers mobilized their war horses together, forming a fan formation to cover up the enemy. The opponent ran wildly on the snow to escape, but how could two legs outrun four legs? Almost as soon as they came into contact,
The opponent would collapse in an instant, and would either be killed on the spot, or lie down in the snow with his head in his hands and surrender.
What was originally a carefully planned assassination turned into a surprise attack...
Gao Kan jumped off his horse, kicked a prisoner over, and tore open his collar, revealing the Tang Army's standard leather armor. He turned around and shouted to Fang Jun: "It's a soldier from the border army!"
Fang Jun nodded. The identity of these people had been revealed by the Chu Zhang Nu who had just been abandoned by these assassins on the hillock to assassinate him. The Chu Zhang Nu was the highest level individual crossbow made by the Ordnance Supervisor.
, the range can reach 300 steps, close to 500 meters, it is extremely lethal within 300 meters, and can even penetrate thin armor within 100 meters...
Coupled with the military uniforms on their bodies, the identities of these people can be easily revealed.
Fang Jun sighed, he was so brave!
If he hadn't been prepared in advance and braced himself for this situation along the way, he would have been easily taken over by the opponent. This place is located in the empty area between Yanmen Pass and Mayi City. No one would be surprised if there were bandits.
Doubt it, Yu Wenfa can also deduce two, five or six, and refuse to admit it.
In order to seize the offensive, or for the credit that has not yet been obtained, you dare to assassinate the general sent by the central government?
