Chapter 1025 There Is a Reason for Escaping in the Middle of the Night

Accompanied by a light breeze, the night was indeed very cold.

The Yu Lin Flying Cavalry took out compressed biscuits and ate them, huddled together.

The person in charge of night watch rode out and ran to a place more than ten miles away from the Tubo "camp", found a small hill, and watched from the horse.

The Yu Lin Flying Cavalry brought three night vision goggles, which could be seen from a distance of ten miles.

Qin Li was worried that the Tubo people wanted to fight to the death, and attacked the camp at night.

When the enemy rushed over, his team heard the noise, and it would be difficult to find people at night.

Fortunately, the moon had risen, but it was not round. The moon on the eleventh day of the fifth lunar month rose earlier than the moon on the fifteenth day, and it would be in the sky before midnight.

There was no industrial pollution, the sky was clear, and under the moonlight, the enemy team could be seen a few miles away.

Listening to the noise was also okay. There were so many horses, and Tubo did not have the conditions to wrap the horse's hooves with cloth.

The scouts observed that there was no fire in Tubo, and they ate under the moonlight.

Raw horse meat, the exhausted horses were just cut off and eaten.

The Tubo people were indeed considering a night attack. They would charge once when it was dark. If the Yulin Flying Cavalry ran away, they would chase them from behind.

If they didn't run away, they would fight with the Yulin Flying Cavalry.

In that case, they needed to send a team back to tell the Zamp and others what happened here.

The most important thing was to ask Princess Jincheng to help write a letter of peace. They couldn't fight any more at the moment.

The Jiuqu land was the dowry given to Princess Jincheng by the Tang Dynasty. They asked Li Longji to ask for it and see if they could get it back.

On the battlefield, they also heard that another team was finished, the baggage was destroyed, and there were people from many other tribes in the team, all of whom surrendered.

No wonder they hadn't received any news from there for a long time. They had to tell the people behind them.

Zhaxi Kure ate raw meat and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve: "After a good rest, we will retreat at night and disperse. Go and tell people in other places that the Tang army is coming and let them prepare in advance."

He chose not to fight hard, fearing that he would die. The Tang army advanced quickly and his people had no time to react.

The others nodded and agreed to this method. They discussed with each other how many teams to divide and which team would go to which place.

They slept sitting on the horses that had died but had not yet been taken of meat. They could not lie down because they would sleep too deeply.

The wind blew and they shivered with cold. Some were shot by arrows and their bodies were exhausted. They felt cold and feverish when they fell asleep.

Coughing sounded from time to time. They fell sideways while sleeping and gradually lost consciousness.

Others noticed the situation and moved over to take a look, but said nothing.

It was normal for people to die. They never thought there was anything wrong with fighting the Tang Dynasty. The people of the Tang Dynasty had a good life.

If they could not produce such good things by themselves, they could only rob them. As for exchanging, why?

If they had the chance to rob them, they would exchange them for things. Isn't that stupid?

Look, although there were casualties among their own people when fighting the Tang Dynasty, they did rob a lot of things, as well as people from the Tang Dynasty.

As long as they are alive, they have to rob. It is a shame to be afraid of fighting.

The Yulin flying cavalry scouts on the hillside waited for a while, and another group of brothers came. They handed the night vision goggles to the later ones and rode back.

The moon slowly rose to the center of the sky. It was not midnight yet after some time.

The Tubo people looked at the moon and got up one after another. Some of them who didn't get up were ignored and could not be taken with them.

Others had a serious fever and said something, but they didn't care.

All the horses that could run were taken. Two thousand six hundred and ninety-one people were divided into ten teams of varying numbers, and they got on the horses and ran.

Zhaxi Kure's team had the largest number of people. He looked back while running.

"If you want to run, hurry up, go back and report." The person holding the night vision goggles shouted to the people behind him.

The two riders turned and left, and the others continued to stare. They were a team of 100 people.

"Run away, run away, the Tubo team ran away." The two scouts ran back and shouted.

"Get up, blow the horn, chase." Qin Li was awakened, rubbed his face with his hands, and soon woke up.

The horn sounded, and the imperial guards got up one after another. The horses also stopped sleeping and opened their eyes.

Everyone got on their horses and rushed to the position of the scouts in front.

Before Qin Li left, he took out a firework and put it on the ground to light it.

Ten small fireworks, bang, boom! Beautiful light rain appeared, one after another.

The scouts had already drawn a map on the ground with a wooden stick, showing how many people were in each direction. Some actually ran in one direction first.

After running a distance, they slowly separated, and then they could judge.

"Divide into ten teams and hold on." Qin Li ordered.

The other teams were all one thousand people, and he himself led less than three thousand to chase Zhaxi Kure.

Each pair of scouts sent first had to find the Tibetan team and look at the horse's footprints.

A group of horses ran by, and the ground was different from normal.

"You guys stay." Before Qin Li's main force went out, he left twenty reluctant people.

The team left, and the twenty people looked at the people and horses in the camp under the moonlight and hid far away.

They heard the man's groaning. If that man suddenly rushed over, they would be injured or even die if they didn't react quickly enough.

As soon as the fireworks were launched, they were more than fifty miles away from the resting place of the Yulin Flying Cavalry. Someone saw them with a telescope.

The fireworks at this distance were very small, even with a telescope.

But it can still be judged. Unlike the stars, the stars are now dim and covered by the light of the moon.

"Over there, something has happened." The lookout shouted to the person next to him.

This unit is cavalry. They can't run anymore, so they strolled for a distance at night.

After discovering the situation, some people rode back on horseback and told the team behind them that the others should all get up.

There is a gap. The Yulin Flying Cavalry suddenly got up in the middle of the night and would regain consciousness in a short time.

The cavalrymen were still quite confused, yawning and asking about the situation, looking for their own horses.

It took a full quarter of an hour for the large army to set off, which was still fast.

The Yulin Flying Cavalry chasing in front controlled the speed, and they could estimate the speed of the Tubo cavalry.

The Tubo cavalry would sprint for a distance in the early stage, and then they would inevitably slow down, otherwise they would basically have no horses to ride by dawn.

This is not the Jingzhao Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty. From Chang'an to other counties, running in the middle of the night, you can reach the county in the morning.

No, some counties in Jingzhao Prefecture cannot be reached in half a night, the distance is far.

Qin Li guessed the Tibetans' intentions, reported the news, told others while he could still run, and then united.

This shows that the enemy commander has a strategic mind and did not take advantage of the darkness to fight him, which would cause other places to suffer a sudden attack.

"In fact, the owner does not want to fight. It is best for everyone to be peaceful and then trade with each other. But you insist on fighting, so the owner can only make some weapons."

While chasing, Qin Li still had the leisure to mutter, a bit of gloating.
