Chapter 260 Liangzhou
Lingwu City was originally one of the big cities in Lingzhou. It can be said that in addition to the county town, Lingwu City is also a big city. However, at this moment, the city is empty in nine out of ten rooms, and the houses and alleys are everywhere.
At this time, the most common soldiers in the city were naturally brought by Turkic Yushe, which turned the vast city into a barracks.
In the city guards of Lingwu City, just like in Wucheng before, it also became a temporary residence set up by Yu She.
"Hahaha, OK, good dance, beauty, come and have a drink!"
"The little lady is in a good shape, haha, you're my way tonight!"
"drink!"
The entire hall was like a legendary wine pool and meat forest. Except for Yu Sheshe and his generals, all of them were women wearing gauze. These women were all charming, swaying graceful and moving dance in the hall, which made people's blood rush.
Yu Sheshe and others were even more unrestrained and frightened. They all had no clothes except the lower body. Some generals even started doing some doggy and erratic things in the hall.
He captured several Lingzhou cities in a row, causing Yu Sheshe and his men's hearts to begin to swell.
"Report!" At this moment, a personal guard suddenly ran in.
After seeing the scene in the hall, the guard suddenly surged, but at this time he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Yu Sheshe.
Although Yu Sheshi is a bit unrestrained and even likes to hold unblocked conferences with his generals, he can only be qualified for those generals.
He swallowed quietly, and the guard lowered his head, knelt down in front of Yu She, and presented a piece of silk cloth, "Khan, the spy's urgent report!"
"Remember!" Yu Sheshe had no sign of getting close. He glanced at him and said lightly while drinking water.
"Yes!" After hearing this order, the guard quickly spread out his cloth and recited, "On July 23, the traces of Li Daozong were found outside Lingzhou City. There were about 10,000 elite cavalry accompanying him, and there were two strange beasts that seemed to be about two feet tall at the end."
"What, Li Daozong is back?" Hearing this urgent retribution, Yu Shishi, who was originally leisurely, sat up directly, stretched out his hand and took the urgent retribution from his personal guards, and then laughed and said, "Hahaha, okay, okay, I didn't expect that Li Daozong's thief would dare to return to Lingzhou. This time, Khan must avenge the last time!"
"Khan, just Li Daozong, is not worth mentioning at all. Why would the last general lead the army to meet him for a while today. If you have the chance, you will take his dog head to avenge you Khan!" In the hall, one of the generals stood up and said with a confident look on his face.
"No need, the thief Li Daozong was just a trick that made Ben Khan fall into the trap. This time Ben Khan will not be fooled by that thief again. This time Ben Khan brought tens of thousands of cavalry, not to mention that we have captured a lot of Tang troops this time, so we just used them to try Li Daozong's weight first!" Yu Sheshe waved his hand and said with a look of domineering spirit.
"Khan is wise!"
"Khan wins thousands of victories!"
When others saw Yu Sheshi say this, they immediately praised Yu Sheshi one by one, but no one objected at all.
There was no way, this trip to Lingzhou was too smooth, because Li Daozong was called to leave Lingzhou before, and the officials of Lingzhou adopted the method of defending the city by themselves, but Yu Sheshe led a large army to defeat them, which made them look very despised by Lingzhou, or the army of the Tang Dynasty.
Even some people have called out the slogan of directly leading the army to conquer the Central Plains and let Yu Sheshi sit in the Lord of the Central Plains.
It can be imagined how the morale of the Turkic army expanded at this time under such an environment.
...
Just when Yu Shezhan was about to attack Lingzhou, Liangzhou, one or two hundred miles away, also welcomed a large group of troops.
These people were Xue Wanche, who also came from Chang'an. Although Li Daozong also set out from Chang'an, he did not detour. The shortest straight line between the two points was, and he rode his horse and ran wildly. Tens of thousands of cavalry passed through several prefectures and counties within one or two days and went straight to Lingzhou.
The troops led by Xue Wanche were different. Although the soldiers and horses led by Xue Wanche were also one of the few elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, and the number was as large as 30,000, Xue Wanche took a detour and after leaving Chang'an, he turned to Qinzhou and Lanzhou, and then reached Liangzhou.
The itinerary alone was more than twice that of Li Daozong. Thanks to this time, Li Chengming gave Xue Wanche all his subordinates, and even reached a place of one person and two riders. It is precisely because of this that Xue Wanche was able to travel day and night within three or four days, and rush to travel one or two thousand miles in a hurry.
On the edge of a barren mountain, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed for hundreds of miles and stopped to rest. Then the soldiers did not take care of themselves first, but took out the food and grass to feed the horses.
On the battlefield, war horses are more expensive than humans, because one assault and charge rely on war horses under your crotch. Therefore, for the cavalry, it is okay to be injured and hungry, but you must not let the horses be hungry or injured.
"Shan Hua, where is this?" As a general, Xue Wanche naturally had the privilege of not having to feed the horses by himself. He took a sip of the water bag hanging around his waist, and then opened his mouth and asked a side general next to him.
"Return to General, this place should be near Hui Ningcheng, Longyou Road, and there are more than 200 miles away from the Helan Mountains. If you cross Helan Mountain, you can reach Lingzhou, about 500 miles." The general named Shan Hua took out a simple cowhide from his arms, with a simple map on it, and looked back.
"Five hundred miles?" Xue Wanche looked up at the sky and found that it was about 35 o'clock in the afternoon. He pondered for a while, and then said, "Give me instructions to rest for a quarter of an hour, and then go at full speed. Don't rush to the bottom of Helan Mountain before tonight."
"General..." Shan Hua was slightly shocked when he heard Xue Wanche's order, and then said, "We have rushed nearly 700 miles today. If we march again, we are afraid that the soldiers and horses will be damaged, which may affect morale at that time..."
"Don't worry!" Xue Wanche waved his hand and said, "After rushing to Helan Mountain tonight, I will order a night of rest there. We must first find out the movements of the Turks. This war is related to the fate of our Tang Dynasty, so I will naturally not act hasty!"
"Yes, General!" After hearing Xue Wanche's words, the side general felt relieved and began to pass the orders.
A quarter of an hour later, 30,000 cavalry set off again. The rumbling sound of horse hooves shook the earth, raised the dust and dust in the sky, and rushed towards the direction of Helan Mountain like a tide...
