!!!
The next day, the five hundred tiger leopard cavalry set off again under Li Yuanjing's lead.
Only this time, they didn't make a detour to eliminate the Turkic tribes along the way.
Speed was the most important thing in war!
Five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry were advancing toward the Turkic royal court.
In order to prevent the Turks from discovering the army's route, Li Yuanjing spent another 150,000 reputation points to purchase three giant eagles.
The four giant eagles were located thousands of meters above the ground in the east, south, west, and north directions of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Within a radius of thousands of meters, as long as there was any movement, the giant eagles would let out a specific cry to alert Li Yuanjing.
They marched straight into the Turkic heartland.
After two or three days of fleeing, the defeated Turkic army had returned to the steppe.
Without the Jie Li Khan's restraint, the Turkic leaders of the defeated army didn't submit to each other. They split into groups of varying numbers and began to return to their own tribes.
They dragged their tired bodies back to their tribes with great unease and fear.
They had thought that they could have a bite of hot mutton, drink a mouthful of warm goat's milk, and then have a good sleep. However, what greeted them was the dilapidated tribal camp, covered in blood and the corpses of cattle and sheep.
"We're finished!"
All the Turkic youths collapsed at the sight of the corpses.
The cattle and sheep were all hacked to death, and many of the livestock's corpses began to rot due to the hot weather.
Without cattle and sheep, once winter came, they would have no source of food!
Without food, only death awaited them.
"Dammit, dammit Tang!"
"Dammit, why? Why did the Khagan suddenly invade the Great Tang?”
"If we hadn't invaded the Great Tang, would this have never happened?”
Hatred began to spread across the plains. This hatred was not only directed at the Great Tang, but also at their former Khan Jie Li.
A group of forty to fifty thousand Turkic cavalry was advancing northwest into the depths of the steppe. Their goal was the same as Li Yuanjing's, the Turkic Imperial Court.
The reason he was going to the Turkic Imperial Court was because this group of Turkic cavalry had come from the Turkic Imperial Court.
If one looked closely, one would discover that although these forty to fifty thousand Turkic cavalry were advancing together, they were clearly divided into three evenly matched groups. They belonged to Jie Li's two younger brothers and one son.
Without a doubt.
When these three returned to the Turkic court, they would definitely start a civil war.
Whoever could gain the support of more members of the Imperial Court and become stronger would emerge victorious from the internal strife, and the victor would become the next Turkic Khan.
Therefore…
In order to become the Khagan of the Turkic Khaganate as soon as possible, the three of them did not want to fall behind the others. They ordered their generals and soldiers to return to the royal court.
Other than that.
There was another reason why they were so anxious to rush back to the Imperial Court, and that was unease!
They had lost count of how many tribes had been massacred by the Tang cavalrymen.
More importantly!
Aside from the first few tribes, the rest of the tribes were all on the road to the Turkic Court.
Uneasiness, worry, fear, and worry filled the hearts of all the Turks.
"Hahahahahaha, laughable! How is this possible? Uncles, didn't you hear that the Tang cavalry only had five or six hundred men? How could a mere few hundred have the guts to attack our Turkic court?”Jie Li's son, A Tu Gu, reluctantly laughed.
"Hehe, that's right!"
"That won't happen. It's only five or six hundred cavalry. How could the Tang attack our Turkic court?”
The two younger brothers laughed.
None of the three mentioned the fact that Li Yuanjing had led five hundred cavalry to break through the Turkic camp and kill Jie Li.
Then, the three of them left.
After returning to their respective armies.
Not long after, the three armies advanced at a faster speed.
He was eager to return home!
Elsewhere, at the border of the Great Tang.
Yuchi Gong stood on the city wall and looked at the grassland in the distance. He frowned and suddenly asked,""Is there still no news of His Highness the Martial King?”
"We don't have any specific information, but according to the intelligence sent back by our scouts on the grasslands, all the cattle and sheep of the tribes on the grasslands have been killed!”A soldier said.
"Hiss ~" Yuchi Gong couldn't help but take a deep breath."Kill all the cattle and sheep. It seems that the Martial King is really angry!”
After so many days, Yuchi Gong and the others had learned from the people of the Great Tang who had been affected by the Turkic invasion why Li Yuanjing had led only five hundred cavalrymen into the grasslands.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
Most of the soldiers, including Yuchi Gong and the other generals, couldn't help but feel respect and admiration for Li Yuanjing.
Meanwhile, deep within the steppe of the Turkic heartland, in a small, dilapidated tribe.
The ground was littered with corpses. Li Yuanjing and the 500 tiger leopard cavalrymen sat cross-legged beside the corpses as if they did not exist. They drank the hot goat's milk that had dissolved the Xuan Yuan Pill and chewed the freshly roasted hot mutton.
Not only the soldiers, but even the horses were specially fed with water that dissolved the Xuan Yuan Pill.
They finished eating like a whirlwind and rested for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before the army set off again.
Several days later.
After three days of high-intensity raids, Li Yuanjing and his five hundred tiger leopard cavalry finally reached the vicinity of the Turkic Imperial Court.
They stopped four or five li away from the Turkic royal court to rest.
Four giant eagles hovered a thousand meters in the air, constantly monitoring any unusual movements around the palace.
He spent 100,000 reputation points to buy 100 Xuan Yuan Pills. Then, he dissolved them in 100 bags of goat's milk and distributed them equally to 500 tiger and leopard cavalry.
He rested for two hours.
Two hours later.
Li Yuanjing suddenly opened his eyes.
"Kill them!"
Li Yuanjing's low and hoarse voice rang out.
