"Rumor!" The earth-shaking sound of hooves made the ground tremble. This was the Tang army led by Wang Xiaojie galloping in the desert, where the horse's hooves were pedaling, and the soil was splashing.

Wang Xiaojie rode on the horse, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Master, why worry?" Tang Xiujing rode on the horse and walked side by side with Wang Xiaojie.

"Tang Xiujing, have you noticed that until now, our army has not achieved much results. This shows that the Turks retreated north very quickly and the situation is not very good." Wang Xiaojie was very worried.

There are constant reports from various army members. Although there are many gains, the results of the battle are not great, which is a very serious problem, which shows that the Turks retreated very quickly.

"I noticed it." Tang Xiujing frowned and said, "The desert is empty, and the Turks are retreating north separately. We have to pursue it, and it is difficult to make up for it. This is reasonable."

The desert is vast and has no dangerous terrain that can be used. If the Turks want to escape, it will be very smooth. It is difficult for the Tang army to pursue it, and this result is indeed reasonable.

"Although what you said is reasonable, one thing is ignored." Wang Xiaojie shook his head and said, "If the Turks want to return to Mobei, they must pass through the Thousand Mile Realm. The Thousand Mile Realm is not easy to pass, and even the Turks cannot act alone. They must gather together. What we are going to find now is where the Turks will return to Mobei."

"Yes, yes." Tang Xiujing agreed with this and said: "Think about Emperor Wu of Han, who sent hundreds of thousands of troops to fight for the decisive battle in Mobei, and suffered heavy casualties when passing through the Thousand Miles of Death. If the Turks want to return to Mobei, this Thousand Miles of Death is a huge difficulty. They must gather together and act together. Otherwise, there will be big trouble. Even if it is a large tribe, it will not work."

He paused for a moment and asked, "Master General, where do you think the Turks will return to Mobei?"

"The best way to return to the northern part of the Mobei is to go from the Yinshan Pass." Wang Xiaojie pondered and said, "As long as you pass through these passes and then guard these passes, the Turks will be foolproof and we can't do anything. However, these passes have been controlled by us. The Turks cannot retreat north from these passes."

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If the Turks want to retreat north, they must have gone from the east. There are several places, and the most suitable one is Jikou."

"Jikou? Isn't that where Jie Li was captured?" Tang Xiujing's eyes lit up and he said, "This is indeed the most suitable place. First, because Jikou is the closest place, second, entering the Qianli Jue Realm from here will reduce a lot of difficulties, and third, because we are chasing each other, it will take more time for the Turks to enter the Qianli Jue Realm from elsewhere. If it is not good, we will catch up with it."

Tang Xiujing is worthy of being a good general, and the analysis is reasonable. This time the Tang Dynasty wanted to completely solve the Turks. It would never let the Turks escape back. Under the command of Wang Xiaojie, hundreds of thousands of troops chased them from behind, and if they were not good, they would be caught by the Tang army. Once they were caught by the Tang army, the Turks would be doomed. Therefore, the Turks must choose the nearest location, which is Jikou.

"After I choose, no army can reach the Likou first." Wang Xiaojie's brows frowned very tightly, and he said worriedly.

Even if it is judged that the location where the Turks retreated north is Jikou, it is in vain if there is no Tang army to block it.

"No!" Tang Xiujing shook his head and said, "The King of Chu is in Heisha City, so it is best for the King of Chu to block it."

"King of Chu? No." Wang Xiaojie shook his head and said, "Although the King of Chu set out from Heisha City and rushed to Jikou, it is very dangerous. If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to Your Majesty?"

Tang Xiujing opened his mouth, was stunned for a long time, and said, "Yes. If the Turks want to retreat north from Jikou, their army must have gathered here. Not to mention, there are also Mochu's elite troops. How can the 20,000 troops of the King of Chu stop the Turks? Mochu only needs to send the elite troops to set up a dignified formation and fight attrition with the King of Chu. In less than a day, the King of Chu will be wiped out."

The tone of voice turned high and said, "The elite troops of Mochuo have many powerful crossbows, and you can set up a crossbow formation! In front of the crossbow formation, the flesh and blood body is in vain."

The lethality of the crossbow formation is very amazing. If there is no crossbow formation, Li Longji still hopes to block the Turks. Mochu's elite troops have many powerful crossbows, which is destined that Li Longji cannot block the Turks.

If Li Longjizhen fights with the elites of Mochu, he will probably trap himself in, not to mention whether he can block it.

"Master General, why don't you send troops to reinforce?" Tang Xiujing's eyes lit up suddenly and he hurriedly came up with advice.

Wang Xiaojie shook his head and said, "I have thought about this problem. Unfortunately, there are no troops that can quickly reach Jikou, so it is impossible to provide strong support to the King of Chu. With the number of people and horses of the King of Chu, it would be good that our reinforcements could not arrive within one day. No matter what, no matter how."

Mochu holds hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, and with well-equipped elite troops, Li Longji's little men will be a miracle that can block one day, and perhaps the entire army will be destroyed in half a day.

If the elites of Mochu's team did not have so many powerful crossbows, Li Longji could block it in just a few days. Unfortunately, the elites of Mochu's team had a large number of powerful crossbows, which destined that Li Longji could not block the Turks.

"Report to the Grand Commander, the military newspaper of the King of Chu." At this moment, a confidant came quickly and submitted the military newspaper.

Wang Xiaojie snatched it over and opened it to see it. His face changed drastically, his body shook, and he almost fell off the horse's back.

"Master, what's wrong?" Tang Xiujing was shocked and asked hurriedly.

"It's over, the King of Chu is over." Wang Xiaojie's face was grey and he looked frustrated, and he said, "The King of Chu led his army to Likou!"

"What? The King of Chu went to Jikou?" Tang Xiujing didn't sit firmly and almost fell off his horse.

"When the little troops of the King of Chu met the elite troops of Mochu, the entire army was destroyed?" Wang Xiaojie couldn't help but beat his chest and said, "How can I explain to His Majesty?"

Li Longji is Wu Zetian's grandson and Li Dan's third son. When something went wrong with him, Wang Xiaojie could not handle the job.

"Master, please order the King of Chu to not go to Jikou." Tang Xiujing hurriedly reminded.

"No. What the King of Chu believes is difficult to change." Wang Xiaojie knew Li Longji very well and knew Li Longji's temperament. Once Li Longji was determined, he could not even pull back the nine cows.

"What should I do?" Tang Xiujing had no choice.

"The order: Except for the army occupying several places where the Turkic fled north, the rest rushed to Jikou! Even if you run off your legs and exhaust your horse, you must arrive at the fastest speed! Those who violate the order should be killed!" Wang Xiaojie's eyes flashed and he said, "I hope it's time!"

"Report to Khan, I found a Tang army heading towards the Jikou." A personal guard rushed over and reported to Mochuo.

"What? Did the Tang army go to Jikou?" Mochuo, who was galloping, almost fell from the horse's back, his face changed drastically, and he looked panicked.

Jikou is a must-pass place for the Turks to escape north. If they are arrived first by the Tang army, it will be troublesome. Once they are entangled by the Tang army and the Tang army arrives, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"How many Tang troops are there? 50,000 or 100,000?" Mochuo asked hurriedly.

"Khan, not many, only 20,000 people." The personal guard hurriedly reported.

"Twenty thousand people? That's great!" Mochuo was worried all over, and he sneered, saying, "It's ridiculous that only 20,000 people want to stop me, too!"

He held hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand and had well-equipped elite troops. He really didn't take the 20,000 Tang troops seriously.

"Khan. This is Li Longji's army." The guard was a little scared and said, "This is the most capable Tang army since the beginning of the war."

"What? Li Longji's army?" Mochu said with anger and hatred: "Li Longji, Li Longji, you are seeking death! Just because of your mere 20,000 troops, you want to stop Ben Khan, which is ridiculous!"

"Haha!" Suddenly, Mochu raised his head to the sky, laughed wildly, and said, "Li Longji, Li Longji, Ben Khan is about to seek revenge on you, so you will die by yourself, and Ben Khan will fulfill your ambition to die!"

Mochuo hated Li Longji very much and wanted to tear Li Longji apart. He originally thought that he had no chance to take revenge, but he didn't expect that Li Longji came to his door and he had to be happy.

"Go! Go to the Jikou!" He slapped the horse's back and galloped away.

"Rumor!" The elite of the headquarters followed closely behind, and was filled with darkness, like a tide.

"King of Chu, the Jikou has arrived." Zhang Shuo gasped and reported to Li Longji.

"Have you arrived?" Li Longji looked tired and gasped.

Starting from Heisha City, the Tang army marched continuously without rest. Even if they were eating and drinking, they would solve the problem on the horse's back. If you want to sleep, you have to sleep on the horse's back and tie yourself up with a rope.

For this thousand miles, the Tang army had only solved the problem of internal emergency problems twice a day.

If you march with such a high intensity, even the iron man will be exhausted.

Li Longji looked forward and saw a pass coming into his eyes. This pass is more than 30 miles wide, with mountains on both sides.

As long as you pass this pass, you will enter the Thousand Miles of Realm.

This is Jikou.

"King of Chu, there are trees and stones on the mountains on both sides. We can set up a village at the narrowest point, so we will not be afraid of the Turks." Chen Xuanli gasped and made an idea.

"Good idea!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

This is definitely a good idea. As long as the Tang army sets up the village, there is no need to be afraid of strong crossbows. Although the strong crossbows are powerful, they cannot do anything to the village. With the protection of the village, it is inevitable that the Tang army will block the Turks.

"Rumor!" At this moment, a shocking sound of hooves came from behind, and a huge dark cloud floated quickly.

"The Turks are here!" Li Longji's heart sank.

"This... the Turks came too fast, right?" Zhang said his heart sank.

The Tang army had just arrived at Jikou, and the Turks arrived. The Tang army had no chance to breathe, let alone establish a village. Without the village, if the Turks were shooting with crossbow formations, the Tang army would have suffered heavy casualties.

"What should I do?" Chen Xuanli's face changed drastically.

Chen Xuanli had slept among the dead and bathed in blood. He was extremely courageous and it was not easy to make his face change. But the situation was too amazing now, and he had to be shocked.

"Oh!" Xue Zhi, Zhang Xiaofei and the others all looked ugly and looked unwilling.

The Tang army did not take too much time, it only took half a day to complete the village.

"Advance. Go to the narrowest point of the pass to meet the enemy." Li Longji made a quick decision.

The Tang army could not completely occupy the entrance thirty miles wide. The Turks could completely encircle the Tang army and then pass through the pass. It is very necessary to go to the narrowest part of the pass.
