Facts have proved that Wang Junlin was right. Niu Jinda is decisive in killing and has strong personal force. In addition, Wang Junlin has more than ten guards serving as leader and centurion leader under his command. Naturally, they will do their best to help him. Therefore, waiting for the three leaders to lead
After the thousands of troops returned to the military camp, he had initially taken control of the three thousand troops.
After learning that the Turks might go south, Niu Jinda did not dare to neglect. As soon as he returned to Shifeng Village, he gathered people to repair the army village. In fact, because of its important strategic location, Shifeng Village itself was extremely strong and majestic, with high city walls.
It is three feet and five feet long, and there are two forts.
When Xue Qiluo, the eldest son of Yi Shibo, the great chief of Xue Yantuo among the Tiele tribes, led more than ten thousand Xue Yantuo elites to appear in Shangquan Valley, fifty miles north of Shifeng Village, Shifeng Village entered the highest level of combat readiness. Niu Jinda was discussing with his officers
After that, he ordered the two surrounding guard forts to garrison 500 infantrymen each, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to keep an eye on Xue Yantuo's more than 10,000 cavalry.
In late November, Shifeng Village was still the same as usual. The soldiers were leaning on the stacks in the military camp, bored and wary staring at the north. Because it was winter, and the news that the Turks might go south had spread, so
There was no one in the fields outside the military stronghold, and due to strategic needs, all the trees within a few miles in front of the military stronghold were cut down. Standing on the city wall, you could see far away.
Shifeng Village is very large. Although it is called a military village or a military village, it is actually a city. The entire military village is four miles long and about two and a half miles wide. In addition to the army, there are more than 10,000 residents in the army.
Various industries are engaged in the village, and hundreds of meters away from Shifeng Village in front, there are two acropolis on the left and right, leaning against each other. The defense is impeccable, without ten times the strength of the troops, I think
It is basically impossible to easily capture such a heavily defended military stronghold.
In addition, the three thousand soldiers in the military stronghold are all veterans. They all participated in the war with Tuyuhun and the Western Turks last year. However, there are only 500 cavalry in the city, and the rest are infantry. They know that if they fight in the field with the Turks, the infantry will most likely suffer, but
When it comes to defending the city, they are not afraid at all, and even go out of their way to inflict some suffering on the Turks.
At this time, on the main wall and the two guard forts, the lazy sentry suddenly stood up straight, put his hand on his eyelid, and looked nervously into the distance. At the end of his vision, a beacon lighted up, straight
The smoke soared upwards. It was a beacon tower in the distance. Immediately afterwards, the beacon fires were lit one after another. In the sentry's field of vision, several war horses were galloping towards this side. In the distance behind them, large waves of
Smoke and dust cover the sky and the sun.
Enemy attack! The sentry trotted all the way to the garrison. Suddenly, the shrill sound of the trumpet echoed over Shifeng Army Stronghold for a long time.
On the walls of the military village and the two guard forts, groups of soldiers rushed up in full gear. Crossbows and bows were pushed out from the tower one after another.
The oxen and crossbows were loaded with crossbows and bows, and more soldiers quickly moved the stone bars and hammers over and piled them under the stacks. When the scouts came on horseback, the top of the military stronghold was ready, and rows of soldiers were standing there.
On the tower, he nervously looked at the large group of cavalry approaching in the distance.
As the scouts rushed towards the gate of the military camp, the heavy gate was tightly closed, and thick logs were installed one by one in the iron rings behind the gate of the military camp, blocking the gate almost completely.
Niu Jinda was dressed in black armor. He held his helmet in his arms with one hand and pressed the stack of saucers with the other hand. He stared at the approaching Turkic cavalry. Beside him were three regiment leaders. Each of them had little face.
Instead of being worried, he is more eager to make great achievements and have a fighting spirit.
Niu Jinda showed contempt in his eyes and snorted coldly: "There are about three thousand Turkic cavalry. Do you want to capture our Shifeng Village with just these people? Are you looking down on us?"
"Lord Captain, these are the generals of the Xueyantuo tribe. The Xueyantuo warriors from Tiele tribes are well-known among the Turkic tribes for their good fighting skills. Looking at the flag, the general commanding the troops is Xue Yantuo, the eldest son of Yi Shibo, the chief of the Xueyantuo tribe.
Qiluo, this person has a reputation as a wise man in the Xueyantuo tribe, so it is unlikely that he will attack the city with cavalry."
One of the three regiment leaders under Niu Jinda is Wang Junlin's guard chief, named Tian Ming. The other two are named Hu Dafei and Ren Junshuo. They were not in the same line as Li Fengyun before and were often suppressed. Wang Junlin met them
Because of their good abilities, they promoted the two men from the position of centurion leader. At this time, it was Hu Dafei who spoke.
"Beizi thought that these three thousand Turkic cavalry were just showing off their military prowess to us and testing the truth. In addition, Beizi was worried that Yi would lose his bowl and send another army to bypass our Shifeng Village and divide his troops to attack various places in Xifeng County, making it difficult for us to look after each other."
Ren Junshuo also frowned and said.
"Divide the troops to attack internally? But in our hands at Shifeng Village, if he dares to split his troops, isn't he afraid that we will cut off his retreat?" Niu Jinda said in silence.
These days of contact made Ren Junshuo and Hu Dafei know that although their captain was extremely brave and his ability to command troops had improved rapidly, this was the first time for this kind of city offensive and defensive battle. They couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Master captain, Yi lost.
Bo only needs to send three thousand cavalry here, which is enough to contain us. However, he can easily divide his troops. The Turkic cavalry comes and goes like the wind. With our five hundred cavalry, if we go out of the city to intercept, it will be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth."
Niu Jinda said with emotion: "If the Turkic dog thieves are really like this, and the Marquis reinforcements have not arrived yet, wouldn't the people in the villages and towns outside the city become the targets of plunder by the Turkic cavalry?"
Although Tian Ming was Wang Qunlin's guard, he has been very low-key since he came to Shifeng Village and rarely speaks. At this time, he couldn't help but said: "There is nothing we can do! If it weren't for Yu Zhongwen
The old thief and Li Fengyun planned to murder the Marquis, and the Marquis had to go to the county to seize military power. As a result, there was a delay in the process, and reinforcements were delayed in arriving in time. I think that as long as we try to protect the military stronghold, we can make the enemy strong.
The Turks cannot plunder unscrupulously and then act on their own initiative to see if there is a chance to sneak out of the city to attack."
Niu Jinda punched the city wall bitterly and shouted: "It's really frustrating. I really want to go out and fight these Turkic thieves."
While everyone was talking, Xue Yantuo's elite troops were already rolling in from outside the military stronghold. A few hundred steps away, a trumpet sounded, and the horses were pulled together. Thousands of cavalrymen actually reined up their horses and stopped in a very short period of time. After a slight confusion, they formed a tight formation.
In the military formation, thousands of cavalrymen looked quietly at Shifeng Village not far away. Except for the sound of horses neighing, there was no sound.
Looking at the Turkic military strength, the Sui officers and soldiers on the military base all changed their colors. These veterans had all fought against the Turkic cavalry, and they could tell at a glance that the opponent's three thousand cavalry were an elite division.
"Xue Yantuo's great tent soldier from Tiele tribe is indeed worthy of his reputation!" Hu Dafeiniu couldn't help but whisper.
