Don't be a prince

If people vomit too much, it will cause a chain reaction, causing them to vomit whenever they think about vomiting.

Doing so hurts the body too much, so I can only press down with willpower.

In the middle of the night, a gust of cold wind woke up Li Chengqian.Remember in one second on the mobile phone → .B\\.\ provides you with wonderful novels to read.

Opening his eyes, he saw that Zhang Yun had changed into a suit of armor, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, the scouts are here to report that a group of Turkic troops has appeared in front of us, with a number of about [-]!"

It stands to reason that there are also 5000 people here, and the [-] people who beat the Turks are nothing at all.However, the most worrying thing is that there are still carts of supplies in the center of the camp.Forget food and grass, but those alcohol, dried fruit, bandages and so on are all necessities ahead, and there is no room for mistakes.

The armor is worn on the body, although it is uncomfortable to sleep, but it is not within the encirclement range of the army, so it can only be so.

The big sword that had been opened was hanging in the carriage, and Li Chengqian was about to reach out to take it, but Zhang Yun stopped him.

After snatching the sword, Zhang Yun fell to his knees: "Your Highness, you can't go out! Let the slaves lead the attack instead of you!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Chengqian to refuse, he left the two eunuchs behind and rushed out of the carriage.

This made him angry, pushed away the two eunuchs who were blocking him, and Li Chengqian got out of the car.

In the distance, a large area of ​​torches could already be seen flickering in the north wind.

A lot of the cars in the convoy had alcohol on them, and as soon as their torches were thrown in, it was over.

As expected, Zhang Yun came out with the emperor. He was decisive and appointed Yu Tai to lead the crown prince, while he led Li Jing's [-] troops and rushed out of the camp against the north wind.

"Bring the bow and arrow to Gu!"

He shouted and no one answered, and he looked around a lot, seeing the rest of the people gathered around the carriage, Li Chengqian was not angry at all.

Since this is the case, then I still practice martial arts!Do you single out a wild donkey when hunting with a sword?

When no one moved, he moved by himself, got into the back compartment and took out a bow and arrow, Li Chengqian climbed onto the roof without hesitation.

The Turkic people were so fast that they were already within a hundred meters of the camp. When the swords and soldiers were handed over, the smell of blood was immediately sent to the camp to the south by the north wind.

Chapter 196 Fuel

The carriage was very high, and Li Chengqian standing on the carriage could see the battlefield through the camp.

There are no martial arts masters who can shoot the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, and some are just the simplest slashing.

This group of Turkic people is very strange. Although it is night, there is something wrong with not riding a horse.Turkic scimitars are only effective in horse battles, and the battles on the ground are a bit nondescript.What's more, the quality of Datang's horizontal knives is much better than that of scimitars. Strong soldiers can even cut off Turkic scimitars.

The horizontal knife is really a big killer. Some people who are not wearing leather armor will even be cut into two pieces by the horizontal knife.This is actually happening in front of your eyes, not a deliberate exaggeration.

At this time, no one can tell who is who, only the Tang army in armor and the Turkic people can tell the difference clearly.

But that's enough.

Nocking the arrow and opening the bow, Li Chengqian aimed at a large area of ​​Turkic people.His archery skills can't guarantee the accuracy rate, and if he helps the friendly army rashly, he may shoot his own people instead.

You can't see the arrow when it goes out, and you can't see where the arrow landed in the dark night. This is the reason why you basically don't use bows and arrows at night.

But you can't do it without a bow and arrow.A thousand forbidden soldiers and those eunuchs guarded desperately around the carriage, making up their minds that they would rather watch their brother die than let the prince be in danger.

Under the irritability, Li Chengqian shot his quiver empty in a short time.

Throwing the empty quiver on the ground, Li Chengqian yelled at the two eunuchs under the carriage who were ready to catch him at any time: "Bring arrows to Gu!"

After being yelled at, the two of them thought of taking the quiver.

Fights happen quickly and end quickly.

If it is another army, there may be a stalemate for a long time.

But unfortunately, the prince personally led the team of four thousand.

Whether it is equipment or combat effectiveness, they are far beyond ordinary soldiers.And after the battle starts, other teams will be in a mess, they will not, but will spontaneously form all kinds of weird formations, and they will help each other.The prince personally led a battle formation composed of 2000 people, like a meat grinder, advancing from the back of the battlefield to the front, and half of the Turkic people had already died.

You can only fight if you are evenly matched, but when the Tang army fights more and less, the remaining Turkic people can only gather together and face the encircling Tang army back to back.

The big picture is set!

It was only at this time that Li Chengqian was allowed to approach the battlefield, and the remaining Turkic people under heavy siege, although there were still a thousand in number, they were nothing.

Jumping off the carriage, he walked up to Zhang Yun and Yu Tai, who were covered in blood, and asked, "Why don't you do it? Are you saving it for the New Year?"

Yu Tai shook his head, rubbed his fingers and said, "Your Highness, we have found a bargain! Look at those people in the middle of the team, they have golden knives on their waists. Only the top Turkic nobles have such an honor. These few days A personal head is more important than ordinary military exploits!"

As soon as Yu Tai finished speaking, a burly man walked out of the Turkic team, took off his shirt in the cold wind, and yelled at Yu Tai.

It was Yu Tai who stopped the control team just now, so he took it for granted that this person was the leader of Tang Ren.Remember in one second on the mobile phone → .B\\.\ provides you with wonderful novels to read.

"what did he say?"

A general who could speak Turkic dialect clasped his fists and said, "Report to Your Highness, this man said he is a Turkic nobleman, and he wants to fight General Yu Tai, a one-on-one duel!"

Li Chengqian gave Yu Tai a strange look, this guy actually wants to take off his armor and fight.

Damn it, I thought this kind of plot was only found in TV dramas like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but I didn't expect to see it today.

Seeing that the prince was puzzled, the translator quickly said: "Your Highness, this is an unwritten rule in the battle between the two armies. If one side is a nobleman, he is entitled to choose a decent way of death. Since he chooses to fight with General Yu Tai, then General Yu Tai can choose to refuse, or he can agree. If he refuses, he just needs to kill this person. But if he agrees, General Yu Tai loses, and we have to let this person go."

After finishing speaking, Pian Jiang curled his lips: "But the end general thinks he is dead."

Although Yu Tai is only the prince leading a general, he has seen too many battlefields. The scars all over his body are signs of bad luck and marks of experience.On the battlefield, it doesn't mean that whoever is fierce and fierce will definitely survive.Zhang Yun's skills were superb, but one hand was still bleeding.

I'm not interested in paying attention to Yu Tai's brain-dead behavior, instead of playing fighting generals here in the middle of the night, it's better to go back to the camp to rest.Don't be confused when you get Ma Yi, and be laughed at.

Just as Yu Tai, who had taken off his shirtless shirt, was about to enter the arena, he suddenly felt the sound of a bowstring being stretched behind him.

After evading to the side, it was the prince who opened the bow, and the arrow was stuck in the chest of the Turkic nobleman.

The big Han nobleman's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground, but his face was still full of confusion.

Handing the bow to an eunuch, Li Chengqian said: "Hurry up and go back to rest after killing! These people are nobles, but they are princes, and they won't accept a duel! Whoever fixes these is useless, military law will do it!"

After speaking, he dragged Zhang Yun back.

More than 3000 soldiers originally wanted to make fun of these Turkic people, but His Royal Highness was ordered to put away his playful thoughts and waved the butcher's knife at the remaining people.

Back in the carriage, he asked Zhang Yun to take off the blood-stained armor, and asked Sun Simiao to help him see the wound.

The incident happened suddenly. Although Zhang Yun was wearing armor, he did not wear armguards. The Turkic knife slashed his arm, and the bones could even be seen through the wound.

It’s fine if it’s a horizontal cut, but the key point is that the knife is a vertical cut, with a big cut of nearly [-] centimeters, and it’s easy to hiccup if the protection is not in place.

Although Zhang Yun repeatedly evaded, Li Chengqian still stubbornly worked with Sun Simiao to clean his wound.

Ordinary soldiers couldn't stand alcohol cleaning and suturing wounds, and even some generals screamed.But Zhang Yun was expressionless and didn't even shake his muscles. Those who didn't know thought he didn't feel pain.

"At that time, three Turkic people besieged the servant, and two were slaughtered by the servant, but the third one wanted to defend himself, so he had to block it with his arm. Your Highness, even if the servant's skill is so seriously injured, you must not do it again. Thinking about going to battle!"

This is the first time Zhang Yun has talked about it.Li Chengqian knew that this was probably his way of expressing his pain.

Seeing that he was about to go out with his arms raised, Li Chengqian frowned and grabbed him: "Just sleep in Gu's car, Gu doesn't mind, if you die on the grassland, you won't be able to do business with your father when you go back alone."

"The place where His Highness sleeps, is it possible for slaves to..."

Sun Simiao slapped Zhang Yun on the head, making Zhang Yun afraid to say anything.

"You were lucky, the knife didn't hurt the main muscles, so you dare to raise your arm now. But if you don't cultivate well, death is a trivial matter, but if you have to have limbs because of this, let's see how you cry!"

Because Zhang Yun persuaded Li Chengqian with his injury and warned him not to go to the battlefield in person, Sun Simiao's feeling towards Zhang Yun became better.

Looking at his arms, Zhang Yun could only grit his teeth and sit down in the corner of the carriage.

Don't care how he rests, anyway, it's not appropriate to go outside to have a wind.

After finishing Zhang Yun, the two got out of the carriage and went to another place to see the wounded.

It's strange, I would vomit when I look at the dead body during the day, but I don't feel sick anymore tonight.

Although the battle ended quickly, and 4000 Turkic people were wiped out in a short period of time, more than 400 people died on the side of the Tang army.

The convoy, lacking fuel, could only compress the goods so that the carriage could be freed up to bring these dead robes.

When the Tang army fought, unless it was extremely necessary, they usually brought the ashes of soldiers with them.

Seeing the dead bodies piled up in several cars, Li Chengqian's face was very ugly.

Although Yu Tai was not happy because the prince interrupted his duel, seeing that the prince was unhappy looking at the carriage carrying the corpse, he could only persuade him: "Your Highness, I know you feel uncomfortable, but this is war. There is no end to war." Killing people without killing them yourself? From the point of view of the general, when we encounter the same number of enemies, our own battle losses are only a little over [-]%, which is a rare big victory!"

I don't know what the definition of "big victory" and "remnant victory" is at this time, anyway, it probably won't be too good.

Simply ignoring Yu Tai, Li Chengqian returned to the carriage with his hands behind his back.

Sun Simiao also finished dealing with the wounded and returned to his own carriage to rest.

Zhang Yun leaned against the corner of the carriage and slept soundly, so Li Chengqian had no choice but to cover him with the cotton mattress in the carriage.

This knife caused him to lose a lot of blood, in Sun Simiao's words, it was a serious injury to his vitality.

Covered with a quilt, Li Chengqian quickly fell asleep, and he had to go on the road tomorrow, so he must not be able to fall asleep in the driving car.

When I woke up the next day, I saw Zhang Yun who was even paler and covered in sweat.

It's over, this guy is still suffering from the cold.

I called two eunuchs to work together to put Zhang Yunping down. There is no warm room, so I can't hold back my sweat. Now I can only wipe his body with alcohol. I hope this physical cooling method will work.

At noon, Zhang Yun woke up.

His forehead was wet, and he felt it carefully, only to find that it was a cold cloth strip.

The carriage shook so badly that it made people want to vomit. He didn't have any strength in his body, and even his eyes could only be opened a crack.

In a trance, he saw the prince reach out and touch his forehead, and then put the cold cloth soaked in snow water on his forehead.

Feeling the cold, Zhang Yun couldn't help but want to cry.

As a survivor of punishment, he originally thought that he had become the saddest dust.However, His Majesty treated him like this, and now His Majesty treats him like this again.He only hated why he only had one life, and he couldn't repay these two at the same time.

Seeing Zhang Yun's mouth move, Li Chengqian could only feed some water into his mouth with a spoon.

What the marching team is most afraid of is a sudden attack, which will not only delay the schedule.

Fortunately, Li Jing was still very considerate. When he approached Mayi, another thousand cavalry came to greet him, led by Changsun Chong and Chai Zhewei.

Li Jing naturally knew the thoughts of Changsun Wuji and Chai Shao, so he appointed Changsun Chong and Chai Zhewei as his school captains and led them to be active at the forefront.As for Cheng Chusi, Lao Cheng got him under Li Ji's command, and there was no lack of fighting there either.

Seeing the trophy golden knife carried on the carriage, Changsun Chong said bitterly: "This is a group of Turkic nobles who are fleeing. If they don't want to kill the main force, how can they escape. I just never thought that they would disturb you. Cheng do it..."

Knowing that Chang Sun Chong was afraid that someone would blame them, Li Chengqian shook his head: "I don't know where these people come from. What were you talking about just now? I didn't hear clearly."

Changsun Chong hugged Li Chengqian with a smile, and then led the team into Mayi's camp.

Although this is the main force of the Tang army, it doesn't look like the main force.A lot of soldiers around were gathered together, all wrapped in Turkic leather armor, animal skins and other things, neither fish nor fowl.

At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the military appearance. The weather is so cold, as long as you can get something to wear, you can't let it go.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Chengqian saw Li Jing.

Although he has the same position as the commander-in-chief, one hand is still wrapped in gauze.Seeing Li Chengqian's strange look, he smiled: "Quick success and quick profit are not worth it! This old man wanted to eat his fill in one go, but he was almost bitten back by his prey. You must remember that as a general, you can't be impetuous!"

Moving a chair and sitting opposite Li Jing, Li Chengqian said: "You have taught your disciples to be bold when things come to an end, and the more erratic they are, the sooner they have to make a decision. Why are you denying it now? You don't have to blame yourself , although Xieli has gathered troops in Xiangcheng, we may not be able to kill him."

Li Jing nodded. As a qualified commander, he doesn't need too much comfort.Li Chengqian's words were just icing on the cake.

"It's almost the New Year's Eve. During the New Year's Eve in the Central Plains, we waited hard in the grassland. That's why I called you over. Although being in the grassland to celebrate the New Year will not lead to mutiny, but you, the prince, are here, and you will Let the soldiers feel better. Like Shuofang and Fengfu, the only thing I can entrust to you is the wounded barracks. Don't interfere with the affairs of the army."

Li Chengqian nodded, besides, he was not prepared to intervene.The most taboo thing in the army is to order two sects.

After getting the appointment of the Wounded Barracks, Li Chengqian stepped out of his tent and began to take over the Wounded Barracks in Mayi.

Compared with Fengfu and Shuofang, the wounded barracks in Mayi are much miserable.Not to mention the lack of manpower, there is not enough fuel around.Here, it is already considered the hinterland of the Turks, and those damn herdsmen always cut off the pasture and store it in autumn.When the Tang army came, they could drive the cattle and sheep, but they couldn't take away the pasture, so they had to burn it.

In the absence of fuel, it is no wonder that wounded soldiers can feel better.The supply of fuel in the entire barracks is now limited, and even meals have become cooked every two days.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were the most tolerant of hardships. Many of them chewed undercooked beef and mutton and ate raw grain, and at most they complained a few words.

The pasture is gone, but the grass roots are still there, but the small amount of grass roots is colder than the pasture, how much heat can it provide?Anyway, Li Chengqian would never recall that the fuel under the stove turned out to be horse dung.

He called a large group of people to go out of the camp with him. Under Li Chengqian's command, the soldiers would dig a hole in the ground within a short distance, at most one meter deep, and then backfill it.

The so-called Mayi is the Shuozhou of Shanxi in later generations. I remember that Shanxi is rich in coal, so Li Chengqian only prayed that some coal mines would not be too far from the ground.

God favored Li Chengqian, or rather, Tang. The digging lasted only two days, and a coal mine close to the ground was dug.

The quality of the coal is not very good, and the calorie count is estimated to be very low, but when this horse manure is regarded as a treasure, even gold is useless.

Li Jing didn't know what Li Chengqian was doing, but when a large piece of coal was placed in front of him, he immediately dispatched three thousand soldiers to dig the coal.

Now Mayi and Xiangcheng have entered a period of confrontation, and they will not easily go to war.If problems such as heating are not resolved, the Tang army may collapse before the Turkic people show their flaws.After all, the environment of the grassland was not something Tang people could bear.
