The Turks were good at riding and shooting, and all of them were born warriors.
The Eastern Turks of the Southern Desert had one million soldiers!
Amongst them, there were three hundred thousand warriors under the direct command of Jie Li Khan!
A few super large tribes had an army of 100,000.
The tribe of the eighth prince, Ogus, was one of them.
There were nearly two hundred thousand warriors from the eight families of the Imperial Court.
The other small and medium-sized tribes had very few warriors.
Their children were even born as slaves of the upper nobles, and they did not even have the qualifications to become warriors.
The 300,000 strong army was so vast that one could not see the end of it at a glance.
The army moved out with great momentum, causing everyone to be moved.
In the face of such a huge army, anything that stood in their way would be reduced to dust.
Jie Li Khan had mobilized all his forces. He decided to take Youzhou City while Li Changqing was fighting with the 8th Prince's 90,000 troops on the Yin Mountain. He wanted to plunder enough food for the coming winter.
The climate in the desert was too bad. Every winter, a large number of people would freeze to death or starve to death.
This was the direct reason why the Turks had frequently plundered the borders, and also the fundamental reason why the Turks had been unable to truly grow!
The 300,000-strong army galloped southward, heading straight for Youzhou City!
……
Yin Mountain.
At this moment, Yin Mountain no longer had the sky, the wilderness, and the scenery of cattle and sheep being blown by the wind.
The grass that covered the sky and plains had long been dyed red by blood.
A bone-piercing killing intent soared into the sky, and the thick smell of blood pervaded the entire battlefield.
The fierce battle between the Mo Saber Guards and the Turkic eighth prince's army had reached a white-hot level.
One wanted to annihilate the army of the eighth prince and heavily wound the Turks!
He wanted to kill Li Changqing at all costs to avenge the Eighth Prince.
Both sides fought from evening to midnight, and then from midnight to dawn!
When the sun slowly rose from the east, the battle was still ongoing!
The Turkic Eighth Prince's army only had fifty thousand men left!
As for the Mo Saber Guards, they had suffered very few casualties. The total number of deaths was less than 1,000!
Although the Mo Saber Guards had set up an ambush beforehand and had occupied a superior position on the battlefield from above, they were not afraid of being killed.
However, the Mo Saber Guards were still outnumbered, and the fact that they were able to fight with such a shocking casualty ratio was enough to prove that the White Robe Army was not undeserved.
The battle lasted for an entire day. The arrows had long been exhausted, and the armor had been completely shattered.
Whether it was the Turkic warriors or the Mo Saber Guards, there were not many who were not wounded.
This battle was too intense!
Blood gathered together and flowed down from the northern slope of Yin Mountain, forming a blood-colored river!
Within a radius of more than ten kilometers, no animals dared to approach.
Finally, after another three days and two nights, the army of the eighth prince was completely annihilated!
The Mo Saber Guards won! The White Robe Army won!
An earth-shattering shout came from Yin Mountain!
"The momentum of the charge is advancing without retreating! They would not stop fighting until their blood was drained! There are elite warriors in the Tang Dynasty, who can compete with them!"
"The momentum of the charge is advancing without retreating! They would not stop fighting until their blood was drained! There are elite warriors in the Tang Dynasty, who can compete with them!"
"The momentum of the charge is advancing without retreating! They would not stop fighting until their blood was drained! There are elite warriors in the Tang Dynasty, who can compete with them!"
The loud and clear military bugle resounded in the sky, scattering the clouds in the sky!
Since Li Changqing entered the desert half a month ago, he had wiped out twenty-three Turkic nomadic tribes, large and small, and killed a hundred and fifty thousand people, including fifty-eight thousand Turkic soldiers! Destroy the Turkic Eighth Prince's army of one hundred thousand!
In this battle, the white-robed army had killed a total of 158,000 Turkic soldiers!
150,000 warriors, even during the chaos of the Sui Dynasty, they were enough to rule a region.
The entire Turkic army only had one million soldiers.
One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers had been wiped out in just a month. This was a major blow to the overall strength of the Turks.
It was enough to describe it as a severe loss.
Yin Mountain, North Slope.
The Mo Saber Guard stood on the spot.
After three days and two nights of battle, everyone's spirit, energy, and spirit had been exhausted.
Everyone's eyes were deeply sunken. It was terrifying.
They relied on their inner beliefs and tenacious spirit to support themselves.
50,000 Mo Saber Guards, 5,300 casualties.
Out of the 5,000 Dragon Cavalry Guards, only 2,500 remained.
……
Six hours later, the sun had just set.
A Shadow Guard approached Li Changqing.
"General, three days ago, the Turkic Jie Li Khan personally led an army of three hundred thousand to Youzhou City.”
"Yesterday afternoon, the Turkic army arrived outside Youzhou and set up camp.”
"This morning, the army attacked the city. General Cheng and General Yuchi defended the city gates to the death, but the enemy's numbers were too large, making it extremely difficult to defend.”
After hearing the report from the Shadow Guard, Li Changqing's bloodshot eyes widened.
He hurriedly gathered Li Jing and Qin Qiong over and told them what had happened.
"Jie Li Khan has come out in full force, leading three hundred thousand troops to attack Youzhou. Yin Mountain was far from Youzhou, and with the Mo Saber Guards 'speed, they would need two days to reach it.
The Mo Saber Guards had been fighting for three days and two nights, and they had traveled for two days without any time to rest. Even if reinforcements arrived in time, their combat strength would be reduced to less than one-tenth.
Youzhou was guarded by Zhijie and Jingde, and the twenty thousand heavy armored guards, three thousand Divine Arrow Guards, and ninety thousand Heavenly Army could hold the Turks off for seven days.
This general has decided to lead two thousand light cavalry to the north and attack the Turkic royal court!”
Hearing this, Li Jing and Qin Qiong's pupils suddenly constricted, and their faces revealed an extremely shocked expression.
At the same time, his eyes shone with excitement.
"General, this is a direct attack!" Li Jing said excitedly. Jie Li Khan fled in full force, and the court was empty. A general with two thousand light cavalry could flatten the Turkic royal court and capture a whole bunch of Turkic nobles!”
Qin Qiong was also trembling with excitement. General, Qin Qiong requests to fight!"
As a soldier, which one of them didn't want to be like Huo Qubing and kill the foreign races to escape?
Now, an opportunity to flatten the Turkic royal court was right in front of them. How could they miss it?
Li Changqing's gaze swept past Li Jing and Qin Qiong as he said,""Apothecary, you stay in the army and wait for the Mo Saber Guards to recover before rushing to Youzhou to assist Zhijie and Jingde. Shu Bao, follow this general all the way north to the Turkic royal court!”
