Martial Sage

Chapter 137: The Dust Settles

In the Datang Barracks.

Li Xiaogong picked the wick, and the flames throbbed, brightening the Bingshu in his hand.

At this moment, a rapid footstep came from outside the tent.

"General! It's not good!"

Before the person arrived, the voice came first.

When Li Xiaogong looked up, he saw the lieutenant enter the military account.

"What's the matter?"

"The cavalry is here to report, Turkic, run away!"

At this moment, Su Dingfang also hurriedly got into the account.

"General Li! The Turks are gone!"

Li Xiaogong's face changed suddenly, and he hurried out of the camp, boarded the observation deck, and looked towards the north.

I saw that in the Turkic camp, it was quiet, and there was no fire, nor any figure in the camp of Nuo Da, and there was no sound.

Knowing this moment, Li Xiaogong suddenly understood.

Li Xiaogong was extremely upset and roared loudly.

"The cavalry team hurried out of the city! Look for the main Turkic forces and entangle them!"

Su Dingfang, who was standing next to Li Xiaogong, couldn't help sighing in his heart as he looked at Li Xiaogong, who was somber-faced.

The best moment of attack has been missed in vain, and now it is too late to find the main Turkic forces.

After all, the Turkic soldiers are different from the Tang Army. The vast majority of soldiers who fight in general are cavalry. They move quickly and come and go like wind.

Want to find them on this vast grassland, and entangle them, it is easier said than done.

Su Dingfang knew that Li Xiaogong could no longer stop the furious Li Xiaogong at this time, although he reminded him.

"General Li, this is where the advantage of the Turkic cavalry lies in this vast grassland. What's more, it's still evening. If the cavalry is sent out and the Turkic bites, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

Li Xiaogong stood on the observation platform, his face was pale, he gritted his teeth fiercely, stomped his feet, and could only give up.

In the dark night, Jie Li Khan rode on a sweaty BMW, looking at the grassland in the night ahead.

Behind him, a huge team of 160,000 Turkic cavalry stretched for miles.

On the battle horse, Jie Li Khan looked at the southern sparks and muttered.

"Northern, I will be back sooner or later!"

No one could have imagined that this war, which was on the verge of breaking out, ended in this way.

Two armies totaling more than 300,000 were in a confrontation. After nearly half a month, the dominant Turkic people hurriedly withdrew their troops in half a day.

On the second day of the retreat of the Turkic troops, a shocking news came from the grasslands.

The garrison of the Golden Tent Palace was bloodbathed by a Tang army of more than 2,000 people. Half of the garrison camp was destroyed. In the chaos, the Turkic prince was captured alive.

Listening to this dusty scout, both Su Dingfang and Li Xiaogong were shocked by the news.

Su Dingfang stood blankly on the spot, muttering in disbelief.

"It's really them!"

No one could have imagined that this war, which was on the verge of breaking out, ended in this way.

Two armies totaling more than 300,000 were in a confrontation. After nearly half a month, the dominant Turkic people hurriedly withdrew their troops in half a day.

On the second day of the retreat of the Turkic troops, a shocking news came from the grasslands.

With the withdrawal of the Turkic army, the scouts hiding on the grassland began to return to Datang, and the news on the grassland was sent back to the barracks as soon as possible.

At this moment, there was such a scout who had escaped from death in Tang Jun's camp.

Scouts covered in dust and haggard, even with weak legs and feet, were arranged to sit in the tent.

A little bit of information on the grassland was slowly heard by this scout.

"A few days ago, the garrison of the Golden Tent King Court was bloodbathed by a 2,000-strong Tang army. Half of the garrison camp was destroyed. In the chaos, the Turkic prince was captured alive."

"And this team is the young general in white who once killed Yu Ye and defeated the main Turkic forces."

Although this scout had never seen Tang Hao, the news did come from the Datang scout who wandered through the grassland.

Listening to this dusty scout, both Su Dingfang and Li Xiaogong were shocked by the news.

Su Dingfang stood blankly on the spot, muttering in disbelief.

"It's really them!"

Still no one dared to think it was such a Tang Bing team!

Judging from the news reported by the scouts, it has been confirmed that the Qingqi led by Tang Hao is undoubtedly confirmed in terms of the number of changes and the itinerary.

Su Dingfang murmured.

"A cavalry team of three thousand three hundred people broke through Xiangcheng, rushing all the way, destroying dozens of grassland tribes, breaking through the two main forces that went to encirclement and suppression, and beheading more than ten thousand Turkic soldiers."

"Now, in the 20,000 Turkic search, rushing to the Yinshan Turkic imperial garrison, burning the army camp, and taking the prince captive, Tang Hao is brave and brave!"

Several generals standing on the side of the account also nodded in agreement.

"In this battle, it's not a problem to add officials to the ranks based on his merits."

Su Dingfang glanced at Li Xiaogong quietly, feeling regretful.

Tang Hao, who was in the hinterland of the grassland, used his own risk to create opportunities for the frontline many times. However, these opportunities have slipped out of their hands.

Now, the Turkic army has returned to the grassland, and this period of war has also come to an end.

With this painful lesson, I am afraid that in the past few years, the Turkic army will not rashly invade the Central Plains. I am afraid that the opportunity to gain meritorious service will be difficult to regain.

Li Xiaogong sat in the position of the coach, listening to the people in the account marveling at Tang Hao, and said nothing.

Without other people's choice, Li Xiaogong also knew that he had missed the opportunity to pacify the northern border and become famous.

At this moment, the shock in his heart has quietly passed away, and a breath of resentment swirls in his mind.

He even complained a bit about Tang Hao, why he didn't send a scout to remind himself before every action, so that he could also make arrangements. He also complained about this Tang Hao, why he remained indifferent and silent after the action.

If you can know the news, even if it is a little bit of trouble, you will definitely not miss the opportunity to participate in this battle.
