Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 372 Chase

"Bringing cattle and sheep to reward the army? But all I saw was that you brought my Tang army to attack day and night. Let me ask you, where are the cattle and sheep?"

Facing Li Jing's questioning, Zhang Yi pointed behind him calmly, "The cattle and sheep are right behind, but their footsteps are a little slow, and it's icy and snowy, so we'll come here first to inform the manager."

Li Jing was very depressed, because no matter what he said, it seemed that he couldn't beat Zhang Yi. Even if he left his post without authorization, he could still use his mouth to say something.

Because Li Jing is not Li Er, Zhang Yi can find all kinds of reasons and rhetoric to justify his actions. All his actions are for the sake of Datang.

After finishing Li Jing's affairs, Zhang Yi thought about wandering around. Tang Peng had already left with his people to do what he should do. Now only Yue Shiyi and Lao Zhong were by his side.

"I don't know how Mozi is doing now. I came all the way to Yinshan Mountain. He should come to find me soon after receiving the news!"

Zhang Yi felt something was wrong. According to Cheng Chumo's personality, he should have come to him long ago. He should have appeared when Li Jing questioned him just now.

"This time General Li made a surprise attack on Yinshan, and the target was Jieli Khan. According to the current situation, although the Tang army won a complete victory, Jieli Khan still escaped. It is very likely that General Cheng brought people to Capture Jieli Khan."

Yue Shiyi was analyzing behind Zhang Yi, and after following Li Er for a long time, he was still able to analyze these things.

"Are you going to get Jieli Khan?"

Zhang Yi remembered that Jieli Khan was captured by the Tang army in this battle, but he didn't know who was captured.

Could it be the kid Cheng Chumo?But it doesn't really look like him. If it's really him, he should be quite famous. Why don't I know about it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi's feet tightened, the horse's crotch hurt, and he ran out immediately.Seeing Zhang Yi rushing out, Yue Shiyi and Lao Zhong immediately called a group of soldiers to follow.

Although they didn't know why Zhang Yi rushed out so recklessly all of a sudden, they knew that Zhang Yi must have his reasons for doing so.

After going through so many things, they already had a kind of trust in Zhang Yi, a special trust.

Zhang Yi found a man who looked like a general, and after asking Cheng Chumo and others the direction of advance, he immediately galloped on horseback.

Yue Shiyi seemed to understand something, and brought a large amount of gunpowder, and immediately led the team to follow Zhang Yi closely.

Since Jieli Khan is a great khan in the grassland, there must be many capable people and strangers around him, if he only relies on Cheng Chumo's reckless vigor, he will probably suffer a disadvantage.

Cheng Chumo was Zhang Yi's good brother in the Tang army, and also one of the best brothers in Chang'an City. Zhang Yi was naturally thinking about it, and wished he could rush to Cheng Chumo's side immediately.

But Cheng Chumo, who was a hundred miles away, didn't know that Zhang Yi was chasing after him with someone.

Now he is chasing Jieli Khan with hundreds of horses, and Jieli Khan, who is fleeing in a hurry, is only less than ten miles ahead of him.

Chengyi and Jieli Khan fled in two separate ways. Naturally, there were two groups of Tang troops chasing them, and the cavalry following Jieli Khan, from a few hundred at the beginning, now retreated while fighting. There are only a hundred riders left.

If Jieli Khan couldn't wait for reinforcements, then he knew his end very well, he had to run all the way to the north and never stop, otherwise, he would definitely become a prisoner of the Tang army.

Thinking that he would be escorted to Chang'an by the Tang army, Jieli Khan trembled all over. The grassland is their paradise, and places like the Central Plains are never suitable for people like them on horseback.

But fleeing north is not an option, the colder it gets as they go north, and now they have already felt the change in temperature after only fleeing for a hundred miles. If they continue to go north, even if they are not captured by the Tang army, they will freeze Died in the wilderness.

Rather than being frozen to death, it is better to turn around and fight to the death, fighting to the death, there is still a glimmer of life!
Of course, this was just used by Jieli Khan to motivate his subordinates. The current Tang army is very strong, at least their cavalry cannot beat the team of chasing soldiers behind them.

"General, those Turkic riders are very good at riding. We have been chasing like this, desperately chasing, but we just can't catch up. The brothers are almost exhausted!"

Cheng Chumo led this cavalry team to chase for hundreds of miles. It was a lie to say that they were not tired. Even the horses under their crotches could hardly walk at this moment.

"NND, where is this? Before the fight started, everyone was tired. The Turkic Khan was right in front of his eyes. If he chased him, that would be a great military achievement. Don't you all want it?"

To motivate subordinates, you need to use money, or you need to use military merit!

Hearing the name of the Turkic Khan, the soldiers cheered up and continued to rein in their horses.

But the war horses have to rest after all, especially Cheng Chumo and the others who originally ran a long distance to kill Yinshan, and now they are chasing Jieli so far from Yinshan, the warhorses are almost broken by them.

Looking at the horses raising their feet not far away, even though Cheng Chumo was anxious, he had to stop to let the knights and horses rest.

"Hurry up and recover your strength. Let's continue to chase after the horses can exert their strength. This time, no matter what, we can't let Xieli run away!"

God knows how many more years the Tang Dynasty would have to fight the Turks if Xieli escaped, so Cheng Chumo had to take Xieli this time.

After winning Xieli, the Turkic troubles have been temporarily controlled at least, and what Datang needs most now is a chance to breathe. As long as Datang survives this year, and then go forward, the national power will gradually become stronger. Tang, is completely capable of beating Turks like their sons.

"Khan, the Tang people behind us seem to have stopped!"

The distance between the two sides is not far. On this vast prairie, it looks very close from a few miles away.

Jieli Khan also saw that the cavalry of the Tang army stopped their pursuit.

A personal guard suggested: "Khan, take advantage of this time, let's speed up the horsepower and get rid of them. As long as we get rid of them on the grassland, it will be difficult for them to find us!"

Jieli thought for a while, and quickly gave orders to his personal guard cavalry.

"All return, attack Tang Jun!"

"Listen everyone, for every Tang army soldier killed, I will reward three sheep, kill a Tang army general, reward three cattle, kill the Tang army chief general, be promoted to three ranks, reward a hundred taels of gold, and several cattle and sheep!"
