Unfortunately, Princess Gao Yang's thoughts were not known to Fang Yi 'ai and she had no time to know.
At this moment, Fang Yi 'ai was leading 3,500 cavalrymen, galloping across the desert. Along the way, they encountered Turkic tribes, and Fang Yi 'ai crushed them one by one.
The strategic goal of this thousand-mile assault was to attract the attention of the main Turkic army.
Fang Yi Ai would not stop, he would wash the backyard of the Turks with blood.
After inquiring, Tuli Khan sent out three cavalry troops of 10,000 men to encircle and annihilate this daring Tang army.
The Turkic Great General Ashnamo personally supervised the battle and vowed to pull out this nail.
"My lord, less than fifty miles behind our army, there is a ten-thousand-man cavalry force that is firmly pursuing us. I estimate that even more Turkic soldiers will arrive in less than a day.”
Bai Xuan reminded.
All the soldiers present stared at their commander. Although they did not say it explicitly, their eyes already said everything!
He had already made a great contribution by taking down the Imperial Court and wiping out the Gold Wolf Guards.
After a month of being alone in the enemy's rear, the soldiers were exhausted and should have returned home in triumph.
Fang Yi 'ai remained silent, walking to a higher place to check the terrain.
This area was mostly plains, and even if they wanted to evacuate, it would not be an easy task.
Tuli Khagan deeply hated the Great Tang cavalry that had destroyed the Jinzhou Imperial Court, and he vowed to destroy them as soon as possible. There would definitely be many armies chasing after them.
For this, Fang Yi 'ai opened the Myriad World Communication Group to ask for countermeasures.
"Group leader, we can't simply retreat. The cavalry of the nomads come and go like the wind. Once your 3,500-man army is entangled, it will be difficult for you to escape.”
Baiqi said.
War Saint Sun Wu also sent an approving emoji!
"But where should I retreat to?”Fang Yi 'ai simply sent the map over.
"Group leader, we should retreat towards Star River Valley.”Baiqi said.
"I agree!" Sun Wu said.
The Star River Valley was surrounded by mountains and trees, making it the best place for cavalry to hide.
Without further ado, Fang Yi 'ai decided to retreat here.
"Group leader, if the time is right, we might be able to fight another battle.”Sun Wu said.
"The Turks have tens of thousands of people. Even if the terrain of Star River Valley is suitable for an ambush, our army will be in great trouble if they get entangled by the Turkic cavalry.”Fang Yi 'ai frowned.
He was very willing to perform meritorious deeds again, but he could not risk the lives of his soldiers.
"This one is just a suggestion.”Sun Wu sent a smiling emoji.
After leaving the group, Fang Yi 'ai had an idea.
Bai Xuan led 500 cavalrymen to retreat from the north.
He led the rest of the cavalry from the south. The two sides made a circle and then met up in the northwest.
This roundabout plan could be said to be a stroke of genius!
The Turks were in charge of three ten-thousand-man cavalry, and everyone wanted to take credit, but Fang Yi 'ai managed to take advantage of the gap and successfully retreat.
The Turkic Great General Ashnamo finally missed and angrily regrouped his troops, chasing after Fang Yi 'ai in the direction of Star River Valley.
Ding!
"Group leader, Zhang Sanfeng sent a fasting technique!”
A notification sounded in the Myriad World Notification Group, Fang Yi 'ai was overjoyed and immediately accepted it.
" Intermediate Fasting Technique, Army Stamina Recovery 200%, Endurance 300%-"
The worst thing about long-distance raids was lack of stamina.
Zhang Sanfeng's Advanced Fasting Technique was really timely!
Fang Yi 'ai immediately used the fasting technique!
The soldiers 'fatigue was swept away, and they were in high spirits as they galloped toward Star River Valley, leaving the Turkic pursuers several hundred li behind.
When they arrived at the valley, Fang Yi 'ai climbed up to a higher place to take a look. She saw that this area was filled with ravines, and there was a gourd mouth in the northwest that was the most suitable for an ambush.
Moreover, the snow in the valley melted at the end of February, and the withered grass covered the sky. It was the most suitable for fire attacks.
Ding!
Fang Yi 'ai entered the Myriad World Communication Group and sent a message to the Ming Dynasty scientist Song Ying Xing: "Old Song, do you have any black gunpowder?”
"How much does the group leader want?" Song Yingxing asked.
"The more, the better!"
"Alright, I'll give you all 120 barrels in stock!”
Song Yingxing directly sent over 120 barrels of black gunpowder, along with a few fire dragons.
This fire dragon was a firearm made of bamboo. Once it was ignited and shot out, it could quickly detonate the buried black gunpowder.
Together with the dried branches and grass around them, it was enough to form a sea of fire.
After Fang Yi 'ai's plan was complete, he ordered the soldiers to rest and take out the dried meat from the group space.
"Sir, why is there so much jerky?”
Bai Xuan and the other soldiers were overjoyed.
Ever since he followed Piao Yao Commandant, he had won every battle and had meat to eat every meal.
These days were really wonderful!
The three thousand soldiers sat on the ground, eating their fill of jerky and quietly waiting for the Turks to come and die.
In the evening, torches flickered as the Turkic pursuers finally arrived at Star River Valley.
"Sir, the enemy is in the valley. Should we pursue them?”Brother Deer asked.
Ashnamo vaguely caught a glimpse of the fire in the valley. Because it was too late, he was afraid of being ambushed, so he ordered the soldiers to set up camp and surround the few exits of Star River Valley.
In the middle of the night, Ashnamo was awakened by a song and climbed to a high place to look around.
The bonfire in the valley was blazing, and the Tang soldiers were singing and dancing, cooking and eating horse meat, singing and laughing.
This scene made Ashnamo even more bewildered, and he didn't dare to attack rashly.
