Chapter 352: Ten Thousand Horses Galloping(1/2)

Outside Xuanwu Station.

The vast Turks have begun to gather, and dust is flying everywhere!

The headquarters of Tuli Khan has arrived.

A large number of Turkic scouts brought a lot of information about it.

Tuli Khan was originally a little worried, but the more serious the concerns he was going south.

Because of such a rash action, any carelessness may lead to a catastrophe!

What if Li Shimin didn't come out of seclusion?

Or are the locations provided by Li Shimin and the letters are completely different?

It is even possible that Li Shimin had already learned the news and had already fled far away, so what if...

Everything he does now is like a big bet!

But once you do anything, you can't look back!

When they arrived at Xuanwu Station, the scouts told Tuli Khan that there had been a large number of Han people in Xuanwu Station before, and this group of Han people were different from the laborers and merchants who built roads.

Moreover, judging from the time when the other party ignited the wolf smoke, the people at Xuanwu Station were obviously caught off guard. They had no time to organize people to escape in time, because their wings had actually encircled the station, and the people inside were unable to fly.

In this way, this must be Li Shimin's men as Mr. Qingzhu said.

At least 80% of them.

After listening to these messages carefully, Tuli Khan finally let go of his heart!

He knew better than anyone else that if his rash action was wrong, he would inevitably be subject to the most violent revenge of the Tang army, and the price they paid would be tragic.

In fact, he only has four or five days.

Within these four or five days, once Guanzhong reacts, he will start mobilizing his troops and go north to serve the king.

Of course, with the speed of the Tang army's assembly in the past, it may take one month to leave the customs. After all, a large number of troops collect and supply food and grass will take a lot of time.

And at that time, as long as he took Li Shimin, all the problems would be solved.

Once the dragons in Guanzhong have no leader, they will definitely fall into chaos.

And outside the pass, if he restrained Li Shimin, the Tang army would not dare to act rashly.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Tuli Khan dared to bite the bullet and take this huge risk!

After all, although the risks are great, the benefits are the greatest! He may be the first person in history to capture the Han emperor. His achievements will far exceed his ancestors and will bring countless benefits, and he will no longer have to compromise with the Central Plains dynasty.

The vast horse team has gathered from all directions.

And now, Tuli Khan is determined to win.

No matter how you look at this battle, the Turks have a great chance of winning, and it can even be said to be a crushing advantage!

There are only a few hundred people inside in one station, while there are more than 10,000 cavalry in the Turks and five or six thousand people on both wings. Such power is no one can shake on this grassland.

In fact, because the Turkic tribe was divided and the heroes in the grassland rose together, the Turkic tribe is now extremely weak. Such strength is the biggest trump card that Tuli Khan can bring out.

However, he was quite confident in taking down a mere station.

"Khan, two or three thousand people suddenly appeared in the station..." A scout rushed over and said in a panting.

Tuli Khan held a horse stagnant, and his uneasy war horse was spinning on the spot. The cavalry surrounding him had made his troops thicker and thicker, and the dense cavalry seemed to have condensed into a fist.

The station in the distance has no city walls or strong troops, but many temporary houses and some construction sites.

The current Khan Tuli was full of confidence. When he heard reinforcements coming to the station, he was not angry, but his eyes suddenly lit up a little, and he said happily: "The Emperor of Han is indeed here. Otherwise, the shepherds and laborers nearby would not gather here. Ben Khan was originally worried, but now after hearing this news, he was truly determined. OK, very good. He ordered all the troops to launch an attack, flatten this place, and take down the Emperor of Han. From then on, our achievements will be praised for all generations. Ben Khan only needs the Emperor of Han, and the rest of the jewelry, gold, silver, and grain. Ben Khan will not take any of them as rewards. If he can exchange the Emperor of Han in the future, Ben Khan will not give any money to him!"

The horn has begun to sound.

Countless Turkic people have begun to sharpen their swords, and their faces are flushed with excitement. Since the defeat in Xiaxiazhou, their only feeling is frustration!

They were descendants of the White Wolf. They were originally galloping on the grassland without any rivals. During the Sui Dynasty, even during the Li Yuan period, just a few years ago, they were still strong. The people of the Central Plains were trembling in front of them, but they did not expect that the situation had reversed in just a few years. Li Shimin, who had been ruthless to him, is now full of wings and has begun to attack the Turks. A big defeat forced them to lower their heads to the Central Plains people and show their obedience. But now... the time to avenge their shame... has finally arrived.

How can I miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

There were roars mixed in the horse team: "Are we bullied by Han'er?"

"yes."

"Han'er is just our cattle and sheep. Why are we as obedient as cows and sheep today? Is it wolf blood or sheep blood on your body?"

"We are wolf."

"Prepare, prepare..."

The knife was pulled out from the broken sheath, and the knife was still bright, shining brightly in the sunlight.

So countless horse teams began to gather together.

At this time... the Turks discovered that a strange sign suddenly appeared in front of them.

Many people suddenly surged out of the station.

The storm of people actually began to form a formation outside the station.

It was very blurry in the distance, and I couldn't see it in real detail, only a dark shadow was seen.

This made the Turkic people, who were originally as powerful as rainbows, feel a strange feeling.

What's going on?

Where did the military horses come from?

Although Tuli Khan knew that many laborers had come, in his heart, laborers obviously had no combat power.

Could it be...there are ambushes here?

No, it is impossible. There is no way to hide ambush in such a place. After all, a sudden army and horse want to hide here. Where does their food come from? How can they be hidden?

The only possibility is...

Tuli Khan had a strange thought in his mind. Could it be...who are the laborers?

In the history of the Han people, there is indeed experience in driving slaves or coolies to fight, but...

Tuli Khan suddenly burst into a proud and crazy laughter: "Hahahahaha... they actually want to use slaves to resist the cavalry."

Khan smiled and everyone burst into laughter.

After laughing, Khan Tuli raised his whip, his eyes showing a sure-fire sharpness. Then the tip of the whip pointed towards the station and said in a cold and harsh voice: "Kill them all!"

……………………

At this moment, Chen Zhengye was actually very nervous!

In fact, everyone's heart is very panicked.

But at this time, even if you bite the bullet, you have to continue working.

So he issued an order to fight against the Turks.

Surprisingly, no one objected.

This is actually expected.

On the one hand, after the laborers left the customs, they almost obeyed the Chen family's advice.

On the other hand, the military exercises at that time have actually cultivated their obedient character.

Of course, there is another thing that is most important. Workers are different from farmers. Workers are a group of people from all directions gather to work together, and they are prone to mutual assistance. Because of the information exchange brought from all directions, the workers' knowledge is often more knowledgeable than that of farmers who only know how to be self-sufficient.

They soon realized that in such a situation, they had no way out, and the other party had horses, and there were countless cavalry teams, and in this wilderness, they had no way out.

The only way is to work hard.

Obviously, this is a time to kill people. If you don’t fight hard, you will have to lose your life!

Of course, Chen Zhengye still knows them best.

So he issued an appropriate order: "After this battle, whether it is life or death, the Chen family will take out a year's wages as rewards and use them for pensions. Not only that, if they make meritorious service, they will be converted separately."

This is very bold, but the Chen family said that it was a mouthful of foam and a mouthful of nails, which was beyond doubt.

But the next sentence makes people shudder.

Chen Zhengye glanced at everyone and continued, "But if someone escaped at the last minute, the previous wages would not be settled."

The workers are still optimistic. They just smiled because of their pensions, but at this moment, their smiles are stiff in the bitter cold wind, and suddenly they look even worse than crying.

“…”

Working in projects has never been paid monthly. Although enough food is provided on the construction site, the wages are settled in the final form.

The workers had no complaints about this, after all... this is understandable. In the grassland, although they were busy every day, they had food and drink. They actually didn't have enough money. After the wooden track was finished, they could get a lot of money and marry a wife and have a few more babies to live a good life.

They endured the cold wind in the grassland and worked hard every day for this.

If you don’t pay wages, it will be like the sky is falling.

"Route and prepare gunpowder!"

Chen Zhengye shouted loudly, not giving them time to think more.
To be continued...
