Chapter 145: Chasing and Killing Baili

Seeing that the Turkic soldiers had completely collapsed, Liu Shan and Lin Meng commanded their cavalry to quickly pursue the enemy. In fact, there was no need for the two generals to give orders at this time. The Liangzhou cavalry, who had long had a strong hatred for the Turkic people, had already rushed towards the retreating Turkic cavalry.

Blood was splattering wildly in the north of Liangzhou, and every minute and every second, the cavalry that died tragically made a last cry of sadness and despair. The Turkic cavalry had long been defeated, and even the Tang cavalry chased them at this time, they had to break up their teams. The Turkic people were surrounded by Han cavalry, and at this time, no matter the attacking side or the fleeing enemy, there was no formation at all. The only difference was that the Turkic people had long lost the courage to fight, and after the Liangzhou defenders achieved victory, they were so motivated that they wanted to yell loudly.

On the way of cavalry pursuit, blood was covered with the road, and the road was covered with corpses of the original appearance by the horses of the chased cavalry. There were so many corpses that they wanted to chase this team at this time, just walk along the corpse.

If someone looks down from the air, he will be surprised to find that in the north of Liangzhou, someone dipped a huge brush with cinnabar and then drew a thick and colorful stroke on the earth.

Blood and sacrifice permeated the northern part of Liangzhou. Amid the noise of the horse hooves of the cavalry, the Turkic people, horses, wolfs, and rabbits rushed to the hare, and the arrogant Turkic cavalry fled along the road they came. The weeds on the roadside were covered with blood beads. The thirsty land quickly sucked the blood out. The wind blew, and the sweet and bloody smell was almost smothering the people.

The chasing Tang cavalry was chasing from the afternoon to the sun gradually set, and they chased them. They didn't even know how many miles they were chasing Tang cavalry. The cavalry chasing in the front had long been mixed in the enemy's team, but the chasing rear team could no longer see the enemy's shadow. It was just that it was really difficult to get lost, because the corpses of the Turkic cavalry were the best signposts.

The sky gradually darkened, and the stars had risen to the sky. Liu Shan and Lin Meng were both unfamiliar with the terrain. This was already the territory of the Turks. When the enemy was defeated here, it became dark again. It was already very dangerous to pursue the enemy at this time. Liu Shan and Lin Meng called on the team one after another. The loose Tang cavalry gradually gathered, and the cavalry stopped the war horses and stopped behind Liu Shan and Lin Meng.

"General, come to the front and take a look!" Just as the two generals were desperately gathering the army, the people who were chasing him in front were already running back. The cavalry who ran back looked nervous at this time and even forgot the minimum etiquette in front of his generals. Several cavalrymen shouted, "Liu Shan and Lin Meng knew that something important must have happened in front of him must be, and they could not care about the rudeness of the few cavalrymen. In fact, Liu Shan and his soldiers were brothers, and there was no distinction between high and low in private. Lin Meng was a man who had been leading the army for a long time, and he also understood the principle of both kindness and power.

Under the leadership of several soldiers, Lin Meng and Liu Shan both asked the army to station and wait on the spot, and they ran towards the front with several cavalry. On the road, dozens of cavalry that had overshot overshot were gathered, and a team of people came to a relatively high place.

Just as the war horses stopped on the slope, the vision in front suddenly widened. Liu Shan and Lin Meng saw the scene in front of them, and both of them took a deep breath of air conditioning.

On the vast autumn grassland, there are burning fires everywhere. Under the huts and starlight, tents are undulating, like hills that cannot be seen at the edge. Inside the sight, there are endless enemy camps. The enemy camps are like a quiet ocean, and the fires have become rippling waves. The enemy camps are lined up and down, as if they are about to fill the entire sight.

Both of them understood at this time that they led the cavalry to chase and chase the Turkish army. Fortunately, they stopped the army in time, otherwise they would have really killed in front of the enemy army. However, because the Tang cavalry had already scattered during the pursuit, and some of their own people rushed to the front of the enemy camp, they discovered the location of the enemy camp. At this time, the retreating Turkic soldiers must have entered the camp tent.

But the enemy camp was very quiet at this time, and I thought that the opponent would not want to fight at night.

However, when Liu Shan or Lin Meng looked at the enemy's camp from a distance, his expression was a little ugly. No one knew what the two generals were thinking. The soldiers around him were stunned at this time. The soldiers who had been in Liangzhou for a long time had seen such a magnificent camp.

The enemy camp was rolling and undulating, and the burning torches were like city lights under the night sky. In the nearest places, the campfire outlined the figures of patrol sentries. In the distance, the continuous campfires extended to places that were invisible to the end of the earth, as if connected to the sky, and the campfires and starlight were connected to each other, and could not be distinguished.

Seeing such a scene, Liu Shan couldn't help but think of the shock he used to look at the city in the night on the mountain, and the shock could not be described in words.

"General Lin, how many people did the Turks come?"

"I can't see it, but at least it's over 100,000."

“Too few!”

"What did you say? This is not too little!" Lin Meng couldn't help but scream. Seeing that Liu Shan was not very good just now, he thought Liu Shan was frightened by the momentum of the enemy camp. At this time, he actually said such words from Liu Shan's mouth. It's too little. Do you still want the enemy to be everywhere in the mountains and fields? You also want the enemy's figures to cover the mountains and the mountains and fields in Liangzhou.

"You have been here for a long time. From what you see, how many armies can the Turks gather at most?" Liu Shan asked Lin Meng again.

"I don't know this. After the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, several anti-kings in the north all surrendered to the Turks. In recent years, there have been almost no major wars. However, the Turks themselves claim to have millions of soldiers in control of strings. However, I think the Turks should not have so many troops." Lin Meng was not sure how many troops the Turks could deploy. Think about the past few years, the anti-kings in the north all surrendered to the Turks. It seems that the strength of the Turks is definitely not simple, but the specific number of Turkish soldiers is really hard to say.

"The people of the northern nations are extremely strong. Almost all adult men can ride horses to fight. It is probably not nonsense to say that millions of soldiers are responsible for one string. However, it is impossible to assemble a million troops at one time." Liu Shan thought to himself that it makes sense for Liu Shan to think so. The number of soldiers is definitely not the same as the army that can be dispatched at one time. Qin also had million troops during the Battle of the Seven Kingdoms, but even in the Battle of Changping, which determines the fate of Qin, the troops dispatched were only hundreds of thousands. The army dispatched was not as simple as saying, and there were too many things to consider. If the Turks really wanted to dispatch million troops, then the Turks would almost have soldiers in the whole country.

According to official historical records, in mid-September of the third year of Wude, the Turks bravely invaded the border of Liangzhou in the Great Tang Dynasty. Two generals Liu Shan and Lin Meng led their troops to block the enemy outside the city. The enemy was defeated. Outside the Liangzhou city, the enemy was left with corpses. The retreating enemy fled to the north. The Liangzhou cavalry of the Great Tang Dynasty bravely pursued and chased and killed more than a hundred miles of fleeing Turkic cavalry. At that time, Jie Li Khan led a large army to camp on the escape road of the defeated army, and the enemy's defeated army was preserved. The Turks claimed that more than 40,000 advanced cavalry fled back. Since the world fell apart at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Han people won the first victory over the grassland nomadic people in the northern border.
