Chapter 42 Farewell

3days ago traverse Novels 3
It was another cloudy day, and the sky was gray.

Even the green grass seemed to be covered with a layer of dirty and hazy dust. The overwhelming army on the prairie surged like a tsunami, and the gray and black tones continued to erode the only green on the ground.

Most of the military's armor was dark, especially the Turks. Because of the lack of water on the grassland, they probably were not used to bathing and washing clothes. The Tang army was better, and some cavalry were equipped with bright light armor, which looked brighter in the reflection, but it was not very bright on this cloudy day.

Xue Chongxun's field troops, mainly from the Guanzhong Army, came from the south. A huge army of tens of thousands of people walked hundreds of miles, and naturally the Turks had already discovered their whereabouts. So the two armies approached relatively slowly, and the camps gradually became round.

The wind and sand are still very strong, and the wind direction comes from the northwest.Someone around Xue Chongxun said: We are against the wind.

Xue Chongxun remembers that Sun Tzu said that the three elements of war are in good time, place and people. Obviously, this time is at a disadvantage: the wind direction of the cavalry duel is very important.

What's more, it's very windy and cannot be ignored at all...

This is a gift from Siberia.

Every spring, the Hetao region is called the Wind Season, which is the fastest time for air flow in Sipolya, and it is in a higher terrain in northwestern China, so there is such a situation now.

Everyone had hoods on their heads and covered their mouths and noses with cloth towels so that they would not get a mouthful of sand and soil as soon as they opened their mouths.

However, in Xue Chongxun's opinion, there is not much sand in the wind. The vegetation damage in the west of this era is not serious, and everyone has never seen what a sandstorm is.

The Turks were getting closer and closer to the Tang army, and some people couldn't help but say: Look at the posture, it's less than 100,000.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: When did we attack the crowd with fewer people?

Haha... the soldiers burst into laughter.

As a main general with a high victory rate and a well-known reputation, Xue Chongxun gave the soldiers a great boost of confidence.

The war has not started yet, and everyone seems to be optimistic. A very intuitive sense is: Since he can defeat the Tubo army with 60,000, it is not a problem to defeat the Turkic army with 350,000, right?

In this era, the most powerful empire in the Eastern world was the Tubo, and the Turks could not enter the top two.

Of course, there are also people who are very unoptimistic, that is, the surrender of the three cities.

They were asked to launch a frontal attack on the Turkic army with fifty cavalry...

The number of people is 2,000 to one, so it is obviously not optimistic.

It's really a wind that is whistling and cold in Yishui. The heroes never return.

The two armies stopped two or three miles apart, and both sides began to prepare for head-on battles. According to conventional operations, it is necessary to first use small groups of people to test range firepower and other matters before organizing the front army to prepare for war.

However, Xue Chongxun didn't seem to have expected that when he appeared, he was more concerned about about fifty surrendered generals from the three cities.When he rode his horse to the front army, he saw that the surrendered generals had been taken to the front and were wearing armor there.

Xue Chongxun immediately shouted: Give them any military equipment, as long as there are things in the army!

Li Gui and others were not polite either. They wore the most exquisite Mingguang armor and asked for long and long soldiers of horse spears. They should prepare all horizontal swords and obstacle swords. No one carried several long and short weapons, and even asked dozens of fat horses.

Xue Chongxun took over a banner sent by his subordinates, dismounted and walked towards the surrendered generals.

Bao Cheng and other generals were busy protecting each other, and their expressions were a little nervous. After all, those people were the generals who were going to die and were armed again.

On the contrary, Xue Chongxun looked calm.

I saw a row of big words written on the flag: The suicide squad of the generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Chongxun handed the flag to Li Gui, looked at his eyes and said loudly: You are innocent, you are the hero of the Tang army, please feel free to go on your way.

Li Gui took the flag and clasped his fists and said: I have always hoped to die in battle and serve the court. Ma Jie's body was what he wanted for life. This time, it can finally be realized... Thank you for the success of King Jin!

Prepare wine and make a strong move for the brothers.Xue Chongxun gave the order.The soldiers came up with a cowhide-stringed case.

Fifty bowls were placed, and everyone held the wine jar and filled the bowls. The central army stood solemnly around watching.Xue Chongxun picked up a bowl, and the surrendered generals came to the front to serve the bowl.

At this moment, Xue Chongxun thought that he would say something, such as a matter of time, but he thought in his heart that they were going to die; but I still wanted to live, so naturally I couldn't have a matter of time.

Then he raised his wine and said: I can only say four words to my brothers: Farewell to practice.

After saying that, he put the wine bowl to his mouth and raised his head, drank it clean, and threw it to the ground and fell into several petals.

The generals shouted: Everyone, say goodbye!Soon, there was another crackling sound of bowls falling.

After drinking a bowl of farewell wine, the hero shouted to get on the horse.

The generals were armed to the teeth and led their horses out of the army camp. They lined up in two neat lines in front. General Li Gui was located in the middle of the first row, and his highest rank naturally served as the leader of the suicide squad.

A general next to him hung up the flag that Xue Chongxun gave them with the words "The Tang generals and school suicide squads". The whole team was angry and looked at it, and the army was ready to go.

The title of suicide squad was written by Xue Chongxun. The Tang Dynasty did not see such a name, but the literal meaning was simple and clear. Everyone knows what it means, but it just goes up to die.

Set off!With a loud shout, fifty cavalry instigated the war horses and slowly moved forward.

Xue Chongxun also turned over and ordered: Pass the order, the entire army prepares for war.

The commander and soldiers were ordered to rush and shout in the camps, and the camps soon became lively and noisy. After a while, only the sound of drums roared, and the loud sound of cowhide drums, and the war drums urged the battle clouds, as if cheering for the thin fifty cavalry that had been dispatched on the grassland.

The Turks also saw the movements of the Tang army, but when dozens of people came, the Turkic generals of the front army said: I am here to test the truth and reality. There is no need to send troops to retreat with cavalry and shooting.

……

Li Gui and the others had never thought of going back and letting the soldiers laugh at him. They slowly approached quietly, and stopped for a while to check the armor and equipment.

Everyone stared at the crowded Turkic camp with wide eyes. Some people took a few breaths nervously, which was about the last time to breathe the air in this world; some people looked up at the east, but there were only clouds in the sky, so they couldn't even see the sun for the last time.

Li Gui raised his sabre and saw this, all the generals raised their weapons and prepared to start charging.

Long live the Tang Dynasty!Li Gui shouted, and the troops immediately shouted long live.Li Gui slashed his sword downward, and fifty horsemen rushed forward together, and the sound of horse hooves was like the rhythm of rapid drum beats.

This is not a tentative attack, it is completely like an arrow from the string at the charge. The flag in the team snapped in the wind, and the word "death" is written extra big.
