When the morning light gradually dawned, outside the Baishan Mountain Camp built on the mountain, there was already the sound of hoofbeats and the hustle and bustle. Looking around, at least 70,000 to 80,000 Turkic cavalry appeared around the Baishan Mountain Camp.
.
The roving cavalry caused the scout cavalry of the Zhenfu Army who were originally on guard around the camp to either retreat into the camp or flee into the distance.
The Turkic cavalry laughed wildly and arrogantly. From time to time, groups of Turkic cavalry would attempt to rush to the outside of the camp and then fire arrows in the direction of the camp.
Although they were quickly forced back by the bows and arrows in the hands of the defenders in the camp, they would still frequently use such methods to interfere, or in other words, encourage more Turkic cavalry to follow suit.
"This is the most common method used by Turkic soldiers and horses. First, it can spy on weakly defended areas, and secondly, it can disturb the morale of the army."
"If an army with low morale is repeatedly harassed by the Turks' methods, it will inevitably collapse within three days." Standing next to Yang Qian, Master Li said, stroking his thick beard.
In the past few years, he has been dealing with the Turks, and he is naturally very familiar with the Turks' methods. The Turks with strong mobility like to do this the most.
This method may be very effective against ordinary county soldiers or village warriors, but when used against elite troops, it is just like a group of annoying flies. Although it is annoying, it cannot harm the foundation of the army.
For example, in the current Baishan Mountain Camp, in addition to the troops and horses on guard outside, the chariot soldiers are orderly arranging the ground carriages one by one and the archers are checking the longbows and arrows in their hands.
Yang Qian stood at a high place, looking at the Turkic cavalry galloping around Baishan Mountain. He couldn't help but laugh. "It seems that what you expected is true. Shibi Khan has indeed known that I have arrived at Baishan Mountain."
Camp matters."
"It seems that he really wants to follow the example of Mao Dun in the past. Unfortunately, I am not the Han Emperor who was so proud and carried away after a great victory, nor is he the cunning, cruel and shrewd Mao Dun."
These words made the civil and military officials around him nod with deep understanding. In the past, when Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was trapped on Baishan Mountain, it was entirely because he fell into an ambush by the Huns.
Yang Qian now seems to be trapped in Baishan Mountain, but he is using his body as bait to lure the enemy. What's more, after choosing Baishan Mountain as bait, he has already made many arrangements, and he is not acting in a hurry.
.
In Yang Qian's opinion, the arrogance and wildness of the Turkic cavalry after their arrival was nothing more than the pride of a bunch of brainless barbarians who thought they had achieved success.
Laugh, go wild, rough Turks, you will soon be able to enjoy the strong friction from the Suppressing Army.

At the same moment, Yunnei City, at this moment, the streets of Yunnei City are filled with countless carriages. In the city, there are fully 20,000 carriages and soldiers, waiting for the opportunity and the order to attack.
In a valley south of Yunnei City, there are still 30,000 elite cavalry lurking there, calmly and quietly waiting for news of dispatching troops.
At the same moment, the horse archers who had galloped for nearly two hundred miles finally stopped and set up camp next to an unknown lake. They fed their horses with water and food, and everyone ate dry food and silently
Regaining physical strength.
"We will only rest here for three hours. After three hours, we will continue heading north. It is expected that we will approach Qifubo around midnight tonight..."
"At that time, we will disperse into five teams and outflank Qifu Bo. Before setting off, we will let the soldiers carefully check their equipment and the kerosene."
A group of generals gathered together, chewing dry rations and muttering quietly. Li Xiuning, the general in charge of the army, was chewing dry rations.
His eyes crossed the vast wilderness and fell farther away. He didn't know what was going on at Baishan Mountain at this moment. My husband must be in Baishan Mountain Camp at the moment.
Although Li Xiuning was reassured and trusted the Zhenfu Army's combat effectiveness and fighting will, she was not with her husband, so she allowed her husband to act as a bait, trapped in Baishan Mountain, and create opportunities for herself.
This feeling made Li Xiuning suddenly have the urge to order the army to turn back and rush to Baishan Mountain. However, it only felt in his heart.
I still remember what my husband said when I left, hoping that I would come back victorious, and I still remember his brilliant smile that even the scorching sun in the sky cannot match.
"Sister, why don't you eat? What are you thinking about?" Li Shimin sat over at this time and curiously looked at his sister who was frowning and silent while holding the dry food. It was rare to see such a troubled expression on his own sister's face.
Li Xiuning glanced at Li Erlang, raised her hand, took another bite of dry food and chewed it.
"Sister, are you thinking about your brother-in-law?" Li Shimin's talent for gossip is no worse than Changsun Wuji's. He looked at his sister with bright eyes and a smile.
Li Xiuning looked at Li Erlang again. "Very free?"
"Hehehehe, I'm not idle, I just feel a little uneasy. Although there are many old and weak Turks staying in Qifubo, Shibi Khan still left tens of thousands of fine cavalry to guard against our sneak attacks..."
"It's thirty thousand." Li Xiuning said calmly. "Are you afraid?"
Li Shimin shook his head, thought for a while and said directly. "How can I be afraid? I just feel that the outcome of this battle is really related to my brother-in-law..."
"You are interested." Li Xiuning interrupted Li Shimin, raised his hand, and patted his head, which had already taken off his helmet.
"Sister???, why are you hitting me again?" Li Shimin took a deep breath and couldn't help but whispered in grievance.
"Believe me?" Li Xiuning showed a rare smile, and her slightly hoarse voice revealed a gentleness.
"Of course, I have to trust Third Sister." Li Shimin ignored the pretense and quickly declared in a very stupid way.
Li Xiuning nodded slightly, stuffed the last mouthful of dry food into his mouth, closed his eyes, and fell asleep against a tree stump.
Seeing the third sister who always looked so confident and calm, Li Shimin took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Qifu Bo seemed a bit uneasy at midnight. Tens of thousands of Turkic warriors and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were scattered on the east bank of Qifu Bo. The screams of animals could still be heard from time to time.
The Turkic cavalry responsible for patrolling were lazily riding their mounts on the soft but dry grassland.
On the piles of lit bonfires, hunted game was hanging and sizzling with grease. There were also some Turks who had not yet rested, chewing the game, drinking bad wine, and angrily muttering why they were
That one was left here instead of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, and to loot the Han people's wealth and women.
Just ten miles northeast of the camp, at some point, a large number of black shadows quietly appeared on a high hill, and the leader was a tall and heroic general. After that, more and more shadows appeared.
Many figures appeared from the left and right of her...
A group of Turkic rangers who were patrolling in the southwest suddenly felt that something was wrong. The alert leader jumped off his horse and lay on the ground to listen. He only heard less than a breath, and his face suddenly changed.
"There is an enemy, a large number of cavalry, thousands of them, hurry up, blow the trumpet!"
Before he finished speaking, the desolate sound of horns began to overflow and reverberate over the Qifupo Turkic Camp in the deep dusk. In an instant, the atmosphere of the originally peaceful Turkic Camp suddenly changed...
