Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 225 Take the initiative
"Yuchijia, Gongshu respects you two to protect the crossbow arrows."

"Command of the last general!"

"Master Sheriff."

"The subordinate is here."

"From now on, military control will be implemented in Kaiyuan City to strictly prevent Tuyuhun's surprise attack."

"The next officer obeys the order!"

After Yang Guang issued the military order, he secretly winked at Xiao Chuan, which means, what do you think my arrangement is, is it good enough?

Xiao Chuan secretly extended a thumbs up to Yang Guang to express his appreciation.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Xiao Chuan said: "Yu Juluo, Zhang Xutuo, you two go to organize the team, let the soldiers bring ten days' worth of dry food, ride with two riders, and set off after burning an incense stick."

Yu Juluo and Zhang Xutuo took orders to go out to make arrangements, Xiao Chuan and Changsun Sheng took out the map again, confirmed the marching route again, and then came to the barracks.

Xiao Chuan cupped his fists at Changsun Sheng and said, "Master Changsun, the scout battalion will be handed over to you."

Changsun Sheng said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry, with Costin, the scout battalion will be even more powerful."

Ten scouts of the Sui army formed a group, and Zhang Sun Sheng personally led a group. The ten groups of scouts quickly disappeared into the vast desert.

With one order, [-] Sui cavalry and [-] horses rushed out of the gate of the camp and headed for the depths of the desert.

Subsequently, Yang Guang and Yuan Hao led [-] soldiers and [-] civilian husbands to meander along with a large amount of supplies.

After advancing about three hundred miles, a Haidongqing flew onto Yingnu's shoulder. Yingnu took out a small note from the copper tube on Haidongqing's leg and handed it to Xiao Chuan.

"Yujuluo, there is a Tuyuhun tribe thirty miles ahead, you lead a thousand cavalry to destroy it, don't let anyone out."

"My lord, kill them all?"

"Kill those who resist and arrest those who surrender. We need a lot of manpower."

Yu Juluo led a thousand cavalry to rush out like hungry wolves, envious Zhang Xutuo's eyes lit up.

"Zhang Xutuo, don't worry, the next battle will be your turn."

"Thank you sir."

A smile appeared on Zhang Xutuo's face immediately.

On the withered grass, one by one, there are hundreds of dilapidated tents standing sparsely.

Several large flocks of sheep were looking for food on the barren grassland, and several eight or nine-year-old shepherd boys were laughing and jokingly competing with wooden knives and sticks.

The women were doing their work in front of their tents, and the old men were sitting in the dim tents drinking tea and chewing a small amount of jerky with their airy teeth.

There was a solemn sound of the piano, and the blind old man was sitting on the hillside, playing the homesick song that he played every day.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Suddenly there was a roar from the earth, and the people who grew up on horseback were no strangers to this sound at all. The women stopped their work, the old people put down the cups in their hands, and the children stopped fighting and crawled. When I got to the hillside and looked around, only the blind old man's piano sound was still melodious.

"Which tribe is sending troops again? Listening to the sound of horseshoes, there is a lot of momentum."

Dozens of elderly soldiers lazily walked out of the tent, and looked forward with the awning in their hands.

The bright red sakura on the iron helmet, the black armor is shining in the sun, the strong Turkic war horses are breathing hot air, the several meters long Ma Shuo, and the bright long knives are densely packed like a forest.

"No, it's the Sui cavalry!"

"Blow the trumpet quickly, the soldiers gather to resist, and cover the old and weak, women and children."

The old patriarch jumped on his horse and rushed towards the Sui cavalry while brandishing a mace, while yelling at the women and children to retreat.

Behind them, hundreds of disheveled Tuyuhun men rode on bare horses, holding bows and arrows or machetes, and rushed out of the camp like headless flies.

Yu Juluo stepped on the stirrups and sat firmly on Takahashi's saddle. It was much more comfortable than riding a bare-backed war horse before, and his horse control skills were also more handy. The double pupil emitted two strange rays of light, and the sharp blade When it was split, the head of the old patriarch had already flown high.

Yu Juluo's horse didn't slow down, he slammed a sharp arrow into Tuyuhun's team.

Two fierce soldiers followed closely behind them, forming a small triangular cone, and a thousand Sui soldiers in a team of three formed a huge triangular cone.

The unsuspecting Tuyuhun cavalry was immediately split into two pieces, making a mess, and they could only fight on their own.

Although the Tuyuhun cavalry were superb in riding skills and brave and tough, they often had to fight one against three, and within a few rounds, they were stabbed off their horses by the Sui army.

The battle ended quickly. Yujuluo's thousand-man team beheaded hundreds of Tuyuhun cavalrymen and captured more than 200 wounded soldiers.

Accompanied by Changsun Sheng, Xiao Chuan came to the tribe.

Yu Juluo led the blind old luthier to Xiao Chuan.

"Yujuluo, how is the battle going?"

"My lord, the last general and his subordinates beheaded 130 and eight ranks, captured 240 middle-aged men, about 500 old and weak women and children, and no one slipped through the net. Less than 20 of our troops were slightly injured."

"That's right, Yujuluo fought well in the first battle, I'll give you a credit first."

Then Xiao Chuan pointed his horsewhip at the blind old man and said, "The Great Sui Heavenly Army has arrived. Those who fight will die and those who surrender will live. Which way do you choose?"

Changsun Sheng often walks in the desert and is proficient in languages ​​of various ethnic groups. He helped Xiao Chuan translate it.

The blind old man knelt down on one knee, holding the qin in both hands, raised it above his head, saluted Xiao Chuan, and said: "We grassland people worship heroes and follow the strong. I am the elder of this tribe, and I am willing to lead the rest of the tribe to submit to you. Be your slave."

Xiao Chuan said: "Elder, if your tribe is obedient, I guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing. If someone secretly wants to resist and escape, the whole tribe will be implicated."

The elder said: "Obey."

Xiao Chuan left a centurion to guard the prisoners, waiting for Yang Guang's follow-up troops, and led the rest of the Sui army to continue looking for the next tribe.

Zhang Xutuo captured the second small tribe as he wished, and also captured the Jintuyuhun people.

For several days, Xiao Chuan wiped out more than a dozen small and medium-sized Tuyuhun tribes, and captured more than 2 Tuyuhun people, thousands of horses, tens of thousands of cattle, and more than [-] sheep.

The strong in the grassland are respected, and the hierarchy is strict. Below the khan are nobles such as chiefs of various tribes. Below the nobles are warriors.

Most of these small and medium tribes are attached to the big tribes, and most of the warriors went to fight with the tribal chiefs and nobles, and the rest are some old warriors and most of the civilians and slaves.

At this time, I saw that the Sui army was powerful in fighting, but it did not slaughter the old and the weak, rob women, and give them back food like other grassland tribes fought, so the civilians and slaves surrendered one after another, and many middle-aged civilians and slaves asked to join the Sui army. Help the Sui army to fight.

Under the communication between Elder Blind and Changsun Sheng and Xiao Chuan, Yang Guang took two thousand Tuyuhun youths and organized them into the Tuyuhun servant army, which was commanded by Yu Juluo.

Yujuluo was originally from Xi, and he only had a quarter of Han blood in his body. He looked very different from Han Chinese, and he was extremely brave in battle. He was worshiped by the slaves of Tuyuhun, and he absolutely obeyed Yujuluo's orders.

These Tuyuhun servants fought more fiercely and bravely than the Sui army.

When attacking other tribes, they were often more brutal than the Sui army.
