Chapter 513 Entering the Turkic Steppe

"As for the address of the cavalry camp, you and the leaders should discuss it carefully and try to satisfy everyone. No matter which tribe has trouble, our cavalry must arrive as soon as possible. In short, things similar to Xue Yantuo cannot happen in the future. If If something like this happens, then don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Li Xiang said very well, these people are here to protect the leaders, but to the ears of the leaders, this seems to be another way of saying, if we make trouble, can your cavalry also Arriving there as soon as possible? Or maybe we have done something wrong, will your cavalry punish us immediately?

"Your Highness, please rest assured that we will do our best to ensure the safety of the Turkic steppe."

More than a dozen military generals said loudly. This voice startled many timid Turkic leaders.

They were also chatting quietly in private. Let’s not talk about their combat effectiveness. Just looking at their mental outlook, they were already far beyond them. If it weren’t for Xue Yantuo, the military power on the Turkic grasslands would not be the same. They were defeated so quickly, but now it is better. All the useful people from each tribe were taken away by Li Xiang, and 15,000 cavalry were mobilized to station here. From now on, the Turkic Prairie will definitely have the surname Li.

"I would also like to ask you two things. You must pay attention when stationed here. You must respect the ethnic customs among the tribes. If some people insist on going their own way, when the king next inspects the grassland, you will not be able to enjoy your good fruits. , but if you stop effectively and ensure the safety of the grassland, I will also advise the emperor and give you promotions and titles."

Li Xiang's words are ostensibly for his subordinates, but in fact they are also for the leaders of each tribe. If you follow the requirements of the Tang Dynasty and garrison the grasslands, I will not treat you badly in the end. But if you are free If you look for trouble and embarrass the Tang garrison at will, the court will not let you go.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will choose people from the tribe who are familiar with Chinese and let them serve as liaison officers between us and the garrison. There will definitely be no conflicts."

Several tribal leaders stood up and expressed their opinions. They also saw Li Xiang's determination. When Jili Khan was defeated last time, although the Tang army said it would station troops on the grassland, it did not actually implement it. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, now it seems that that kind of thing is unlikely to happen.

"Then I will thank the leaders for them first. From now on, when you get along day and night on the grassland, if you have anything to do, you must report it to the court first. Don't make the decision without authorization. If you need help, the court will help you."

The tight spell must be stuck to death. If these people were to be loosened a little, they would be eager to cut the rope. People on the grassland are naturally broad-minded and bold when doing things, so Li Xiang did not Dare to let them go too loose.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the firearms camp has been prepared."

While these people were talking, the firearms camp had also been prepared. It rained during the last battle, so the firearms camp could not come out. Now the sun is shining, and it is time for them to show off their skills. Let the people on the grassland see that the way we fight in Datang is different from before.

"Then let them fight well and cheer up the leaders."

The last time these people performed for the Tubo people, they scared everyone from top to bottom of the Tubo country. Whether they were ambitious high-level people or those who wanted to have a full meal, the common people thought about it when they closed their eyes. At the time of the scene, they had only one thought in their hearts, that is, they cannot be enemies with the people of the Tang Empire, because our bodies will be torn into pieces by these explosives.

Thinking of the expressions of those Tubo people, Li Xiang will of course arrange a fight for these people. After you know the power of gunpowder, you will all be afraid of the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of your heart. Don't look at the scared expressions of these people now, but turn around Only they themselves know whether going there will oppose the Tang Dynasty. What they have to do now is to break their psychological defenses.

People on the Turkic grasslands have heard about the Firearms Camp of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, but they have never had the chance to meet each other. They also heard some gossip from other places. This man helped Li Xiang win the Tuyuhun War and also brought Tubo to The people were suppressed. It is said that Goguryeo and the others also made great achievements this time. Now they want to see how the war was fought.

Gunpowder had indeed never appeared in this era, so when they stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance, a violent explosion came instantly, and the air waves blew off many people's hats. Looking into the distance The pillars of cloud rising into the sky, coupled with the deafening noise, made many people think it was a god descending to earth. They didn’t know what words to use to describe this. After all, they had never seen anything like this in their minds. .

"Your Highness, this, this, this..."

Some tribal leaders didn't know what to say. They saw very clearly just now that on the hill not far away, a small stone house was built there. But let alone that stone house now, including that All the hills, including the hills, seemed to have been flattened. How on earth was this done?

"This is what we at Datang have newly researched. This is just a way of fighting. In fact, what we like is another way of fighting. Please continue to read."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, the ballista in the military camp fired. Everyone only heard a whooshing sound, and then saw explosions everywhere on the hillside, one small fire package after another.

From our position, it seems that it did not have much power in the past, but some things placed in place were blown up in an instant. If our army was there, something like this would fall from the sky. , in just a few breaths, our army may be reduced to nothing. With the Tang army possessing this kind of artifact, how can we be their opponent?

"Xue Yantuo's people are really tired of living. If they dare to treat our Tang Dynasty like this, they must be cut into pieces."

After listening to the words of a tribal leader, Su Dingfang curled his lips. You have seen the powerful weapons of our Datang. Who are you to give back to your Datang? You don’t even blush when you speak...
