Chapter 261 How to fight this? "Tang Gong, this Jie Li has no sincerity at all. It seemed like a test just now, but in fact it is because he is sure that the Tang Dynasty does not dare to send troops to the north."
The deputy envoy who returned to the camp said to Tang Jian, who was no longer drunk.
Looking at Tang Jian at this time, he still looked a little drunk. He was just pretending!
Tang Jian did not answer the deputy envoy's words, but listened carefully to the movements outside in front of the tent, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to the deputy envoy and said angrily: "This is the territory of the Turks. Are you afraid that they can't hear our conversation? Don't drag me along if you want to die."
Faced with Tang Jian's anger, the deputy envoy did not dare to refute at all, and said to Tang Jian guiltily: "This is my subordinate's lack of consideration. Please calm down, Mr. Tang!"
Waving his hands, Tang Jian said: "You have to remember, no matter what Jie Li means, we only need to achieve our goal, and you don't care about the rest, and don't ask, do you hear me?"
"My subordinates know."
After hearing what these people said, Tang Jian also felt a headache.
The real purpose of this mission to the Turks was to provide cover for the army and at the same time hold back Jie Li and prevent him from running around.
Since ancient times, the difficulty in fighting on the grasslands in the Central Plains has not been other things, but supplies and traces of the enemy's main force.
In the vast prairie, if Jie Li is determined to run away, it will be difficult for unfamiliar Central Plains people to find them.
Now that Jie Li has finally been driven back to his lair, if he were to know about Datang's movements, he would definitely run away immediately. There is no need to doubt this.
Jie Li is not a fool. He clearly knows his advantages. As long as he drags the Tang army to the prairie, he doesn't need to do anything, as long as the Tang army can't find him.
In the snowy winter, the severe cold on the grassland could kill the Tang army. At that time, all he had to do was give them a fatal blow when they were exhausted.
Therefore, in the mission, he was the only one who knew about this mission. Everyone else thought that they really wanted to negotiate peace with the Turks!
It's not that he doesn't trust his own people, but it's a matter of great importance this time. If one less person knows about it, there will be less risk and more profit.
He knew that he and others had a narrow escape from death this time. If Jie Li knew that Tang Jun was coming, he would immediately kill them to sacrifice the flag. This was known without even thinking about it.
He waved his hand and motioned for them all to go down and rest.
Sometimes Xili died in confusion, which was a kind of happiness.
It's like him, knowing that he is going to die, but still pretending to be nonchalant, his days are like he hadn't been mentally strong, he would have collapsed long ago.
Not many people can remain calm when facing death.
Tang Jian shook his head and forced himself not to think about it any more.
However, who is willing to die as long as there is a glimmer of life? So, he turned off the lights in the tent and looked under the bed Tieshan, named for its high-quality iron ore, is the birthplace of the Turks and their base camp.
Under the rule of Rouran, the Turkic ancestors were famous for their ironwork, and they were also trained as iron slaves by Rouran, specializing in making weapons for Rouran.
As a craft of fortune, Turks certainly understand its importance.
So after overthrowing Rouran, the former overlord of the grasslands, he made Tieshan, which has high-quality iron ore, his base, and recruited blacksmiths from the Han people in the Central Plains and the Hu people from the Western Regions.
Let them build weapons specifically for Turkic warriors. This is why the Sui Dynasty did not dare to start a war easily. They really did not dare to fight.
After years of development, the sophistication of Turkic weapons is not as good as that of the Central Plains Dynasty, but it is not much different, and they have developed their weapon craftsmanship.
As a result, the Sui Dynasty could only win over and divide the empire, which gradually weakened the Turks. Only then did the Turks become vassal to the Sui Dynasty.
Therefore, the importance of Iron Mountain to the Turks is self-evident, and it is definitely their snow was falling heavily and the cold wind was biting. Ji Song stood on a high ground and observed the Turks' sweat tent.
After many days of traveling, we finally arrived three days before the agreed time.
This also has the function of a sled, otherwise whether we can make it there is another question! Even with Ji Song's complete preparation, he still lost a lot of people on the road because it was too cold.
Many soldiers were fine the night before but never woke up the next morning.
Even the war horses were broken by as much as [-]%, which was a real heavy loss.
Ji Song had no choice but to ask the soldiers to move, and he did not dare to rest at will. Although he was tired, it was much better than stopping.
"General manager, the statistics have been calculated. It's really tragic." As a man in the army, Zhao Dang couldn't help crying at this time.
Ji Song clenched his hands, suppressed the pain in his heart, and shouted in a low voice: "Put away your horse urine, miserable? Who is not miserable?"
"Right now, Li Jing and the others, with more comrades than us, are experiencing the same thing as us, and are even more cruel than us."
"If we are miserable, won't they be miserable too?"
Zhao Dang casually wiped the tears that had begun to solidify with his sleeve, and choked up: "When we came out this time, there were 300 people and 1000 horses, but just now, there were only a few left. When we reached [-] people, we lost nearly two floors before we even fought. We...we"
He really couldn't say any more and just looked at Ji Song with red eyes.
Several other captains also looked at Ji Song, they really didn't know what to do.
The battle hasn't even started yet, but he and others have already become disabled soldiers. How can we still fight this battle? In their current state, they were lucky not to collapse. How could they have the strength to fight the Turks? Ji Song tried his best to calm down. Anger could not solve any problems.
"This place is too close to the Turks. We cannot stay here for too long. I will take the soldiers and leave first, and you will clean up the traces later."
After Ji Song finished speaking, he turned around and left. It was useless to say anything now. Even if he wanted to boost morale, he had to find a safe place to talk.
When they arrived, Ji Song called for scouts to investigate. Fifty miles away from the Turkic camp in Yinshan Mountain, there was a large valley with a cave in it, which was an ideal place for garrisoning.
When he came to a soldier who was shivering from the cold, looking at his desperate eyes, Ji Song was heartbroken.
"What's your name?" Ji Song said warmly.
This small-looking soldier glanced at Ji Song and whispered: "Lin Gouzi, a person from Qishan in Guanzhong, I have heard of you. You are a good person."
"Ha, fellow!"
Ji Song was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party was actually from his hometown, just north of Haowei County.
Lin Gouzi was silent for a while and said tremblingly: "Master Hou, do you think we can go back? I have an elderly mother and a three-year-old daughter at home. I don't want to die here, I want to go back."
Ji Song was speechless. He raised his head suddenly and said to Lin Gouzi: "I will, I will definitely do it, I swear on my life!"
He waved to the soldiers around him and said, "Come, come here, I have something to say to you."
The surrounding soldiers didn't know why, but they had obeyed for a long time and walked over anyway.
Soon, a circle of soldiers surrounded Ji Song. They looked at Ji Song numbly, wondering what Ji Song was going to say? Thank you for your support. During this period of time, the updates are not strong, and Qiaomu is also unable to do is really busy with , it will be fine in a few days.
