"Khagan, we just received news that a Tang army in Cloud Prefecture City attacked the Duo Er Tribe that invaded Cloud Prefecture City.”
"The three thousand elite cavalry of the Duo Er Tribe were completely annihilated.”
In Jie Li Khan's tent, a leader was reporting to him.
"What?"
Jie Li Khagan's expression changed.
"How is this possible? With such powerful Tang soldiers, how could Yunzhou be so easily breached?”
"This…"
The leaders of the tribes in the tent looked at each other.
This really didn't make sense.
"Khagan, this subordinate is willing to lead ten thousand troops to clear the area.”
He asked the Khan to fight.
"No need." Jie Li Khan shook his head.
"Our target is Chang 'an, which is the real land of wealth.”
"If we return now, it will be a waste of our forces and delay our advance.”
"Even if there is a troop behind us, what does it matter?”
"That place has already been burned and robbed. We didn't plan to occupy that place in the first place.”
" When my army destroys Chang 'an and returns, any Han army that stands in our way will be crushed.”
Jie Li Khan's words were filled with confidence.
The Turkic soldiers were strong, and their cavalry was the best in the world. The Han soldiers were nothing to worry about.
"Great Khan is wise!"
The dozens of tribal leaders in the tent said in unison.
A fierce look flashed through Jie Li Khan's eyes.
"The Han actually dared to kill my men on the grasslands. I'll make them pay a hundred times the price.”
"Children, go kill as much as you want. Use the blood of the Han people to refine our knives.”
"I want to kill them until they kneel on the ground and tremble in fear when they hear the name of the Turks, not daring to resist.”
"The Great Tang will become our Turkic hunting ground, and the Han will be our prey.”
"Don't hold back, don't hesitate. Kill them all and let the grass grow on the Central Plains.”
Jie Li Khan raised his cup and drank it in one gulp. The other tribe leaders also drank.
"Hahaha…"
The tent was filled with cheerful laughter.
……
"Not good, the Turkic barbarians are here."
In the village, countless people exclaimed.
"Kill the village, don't let those two-legged sheep go.”
"Kekeke."
The Turkic barbarian laughed happily.
He rode his horse and quickly caught up with the fleeing commoners.
"Run, I want to see where you can run to.”
The Turkic barbarian raised his butcher knife.
……
"Da da da."
An army of several hundred men headed north.
They ran in a hurry, travel-worn.
At the intersection, there were people fleeing south everywhere.
The further north they went, the more desolate it became. Finally, they walked out of a mountain pass.
The plains stretched as far as the eye could see.
The leader, Dugu Mou, had a solemn expression.
"This time, we're going deep into the front lines, even into the Turkic army, to find out the strength of the Turkic army.”
"The chance of returning alive is only ten to twenty percent. Are you willing to die with me?”
"We are willing."
The voices of hundreds of people gathered together and resounded between heaven and earth.
It was sonorous and forceful, pressing forward with indomitable will.
Even when facing death, no one hesitated.
"Good!" Dugu Mou drew his sword.
With the enemy in front of them, none of the Han family's children were cowards.
"According to our plan, we'll split up into groups of ten and set off.”
Hundreds of military horses spread out like a stream of water and scattered across the vast plains.
The place they were heading to was where the Turkic barbarians were.
……
"Join the army. The soldiers of Bing Province are all at the front line.”
The governor of Bingzhou, Cui Hanming, brought 800 men and walked out of the city gate.
Nangong Feng's gaze slowly swept across the eight hundred men.
A few hours ago, Cui Hanming and Nan Gongfeng discussed for a long time and decided to let the people of Bing Province leave.
The news of the Turkic massacre had long since spread.
If the commoners stayed, they would only cause more people to die in vain.
But how fast were Turkic horses? How could the commoners outrun them on foot?
They would probably be caught up by the Turkic cavalry before they could even reach the rear.
Thus, Nangong Feng had decided to select the able-bodied men to attract the Turkic soldiers while the civilians could use this opportunity to escape.
This was the only way.
However, if they left, their group would probably be cut off from their families forever.
Nangong Feng mounted his horse.
"The Han Clan will never yield, are you willing to die with me?”
"We are willing."
His voice was calm and loud.
Facing life and death, none of the eight hundred men retreated.
They all knew that if they retreated now, his parents and children would all die under the butcher's knife of the Turks.
His wife and daughter will be humiliated.
Thus, even if they had to die, they had to stall the Turkic barbarians.
The citizens of Bing Province had won precious time to evacuate for their parents, wives, and children.
They were only able-bodied men and had not received much systematic military training.
However, in the face of the iron hooves and butcher knives of the Turkic barbarians, every Han son had the obligation to fight.
At the moment of life and death, regardless of the land, regardless of east, west, north, south, or north, men, women, old and young, all of them were soldiers who fought to the death.
The iron hooves of the Turks could not break the iron bones of the Han family.
Even the Tu Jue's butcher knife could not scare the Han clan.
"Let's go!"
Nangong Feng shouted.
800 able-bodied men moved out together.
Eight hundred men of sacrifice, living to the death, loyal souls reverberated.
