Xue Qiluo, the eldest son of Yi Shibo, the chief of the Xueyantuo tribe, looked at the Shifeng Village standing in front of him quietly. There was no murderous or violent look on his face that a looter should have. On the contrary, his expression was unusually calm. He knew very well that he
My father's goal was to plunder property and food to survive the long winter.
The logic of the Turks is very simple. All the five thousand silver wolf kings of Qiming Khan were killed by the Sui people. If his father Yi Tiebao can capture the Sui city, it will prove to a certain extent that Yi Tiebao is better than Qiming Khan.
Although Ying Ming Shen Wu will not immediately surpass Qiming Khan in prestige, he can still close the gap between the two to a great extent.
Therefore, on the surface, it seems that Xue Qiluo's mission is to keep an eye on the three thousand Sui troops in the stone village, but in fact he is just a bait. Of course, how to use this bait to make the other party fall for it? The process is naturally not that simple.
"Shifeng Stronghold is strong and majestic, how can we defeat three thousand cavalry?" Carter Bear, the captain next to Xue Qiluo, looked regretful. Carter Bear was a rare brave general under Yi Shibo, and he followed Yi Shibo on his southern expedition on the grassland.
In the Northern War, I also participated in the great battle with the Sui Dynasty ten years ago. I have rich experience in fighting against the Sui army. After taking a look at Shifeng Village, I knew that it would be difficult to capture this military stronghold without an army of 30,000. Several times.
If they were captured, they would probably suffer heavy casualties, which is what this wise man would not do. He was afraid that Xue Qiluo was eager to achieve great results, so he couldn't help but remind him tactfully.
In order to prevent the plan from being leaked, not even a general like Carter Bear knew about Yi Shubo's thoughts. Xue Qiluo smiled and said: "Brave Carter Bear, don't worry, how could I do such a self-destructive act?"
?”
Carter Bear was relieved upon hearing this. Xue Qiluo was worthy of being the eldest son of the chief. Although he had not experienced a hundred battles, he could see the situation very clearly. He was worried about it. He hugged his fists slightly apologetically: "The little chief is wise.
.”
Xue Qiluo said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Carter Bear is brave. How about going forward to kill the Sui people and increase the ambition of our army?"
Carter Bear laughed and said: "The little chief is optimistic about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he held the big flag in his hand and clamped the horse's belly. The horse neighed and jumped out of the formation. Amidst the shouts of Xue Yantuo's three thousand cavalry, he went straight to Shifeng Village.
"What does this Turk want to do?" Niu Jinda looked strangely at a general on the other side holding a big flag and roaring towards him, "Does he want to challenge the general?"
Niu Jinda's eyes were full of fighting spirit and he was eager to try.
But the three captains next to them had slowly clenched their fists, with angry expressions on their faces. Having been at the border for a long time, they naturally knew what the other party was going to do. Tian Ming said: "Master captain, this is not a challenge to a fighting general, this is a Turkic attack."
People deliberately provoke us."
Niu Jinda immediately understood the other party's intention and shouted: "Bring me my bow!"
The soldier behind him quickly handed over Niu Jinda's five-stone bow. Niu Jinda took a deep breath, opened the bow to the full moon, put one arrow on the bowstring, and clasped the other two arrows between his tail finger and thumb. The arrow tip was raised and slowly moved toward the bow.
Aim down.
As Carter Bear got closer and closer to Shifeng Village, the noisy soldiers on both sides quieted down, and thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the approaching banner of Xue Yantuo, fluttering in the wind.
Carter Bear wants to plant this big flag on the city within the reach of arrows. The closer it is to the city, the greater the glory. Of course, the danger will also increase exponentially.
As the distance approached, Carter Bear's muscles all over his body tightened, and all his attention was focused on the bow and arrow that might be attacking. At this time, he was holding the flagpole with both hands and completely relying on his legs to control the horse.
There was a buzzing sound and the sound of the arrow tearing through the air. Without looking, Carter Bear knew that the arrow was coming towards his face just based on experience. When he heard the explosion of the arrow tearing through the air, he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.
, such a fast arrow. The flag was waved, and with a snap, the incoming arrow flew away. At the same time, his arms went numb. The opponent's arrow was so powerful, I'm afraid it wasn't a five-stone bow.
Just as his thoughts were turning, there was another whistling sound in the air. It turned out to be a chain of arrows. Carter Bear could not help but raise his vigilance. He could shoot a chain of arrows with a five-stone bow. The opponent was a powerful archer and did not dare to rush forward. The two
With his legs clamped under the horse's belly, the horse that had been accompanying him day and night connected with each other. He suddenly slowed down and turned, then accelerated to the right. In just one simple movement, Carter Bear turned over, hung half of his body on the side of the horse, and put the flag in his hand heavily.
Digging into the ground.
Then he suddenly jumped on the horse, unsheathed the scimitar in his waist, made two clanging sounds, the arrow flew away, and galloped back. At the moment of running back, he even turned around, let out a mocking sound, and then
Amid the thunderous cheers of Xue Yantuo's soldiers and the curses on the tower, they triumphantly rode back to their formation.
Xue Yantuo's three thousand cavalry cheered like thunder. Carter Bear's simple action just now seemed easy, but looking at the whole world, how much equestrian skills and strength are needed to make such an action that ignores inertia on a high-speed horse? What's more, just now
The three arrows shot from the city tower were as fast as lightning, and they went straight to the vital point. Just by listening to the sound of the arrows piercing the air, you can know how powerful they are. Everyone in Xue Yantuo is an expert in archery, how could he not know how powerful they are?
On the city tower, Niu Jinda screamed angrily, his face glowing with black anger, he threw down his long bow and walked down the city tower without looking back.
"Captain Carter Bear, you are indeed brave enough to be unstoppable by ten thousand men." Xue Qiluo smiled and immediately reached out to hold Carter Bear and raised a flag to provoke him. He had already found out that the opponent's guard had just taken office and must not have the control over his soldiers.
If the opposing general doesn't want his defenders to lose military morale, he will definitely take action, and what he wants is this effect.
Carter Bear smiled easily and said: "This is just a small skill, I don't dare to be brave."
"Okay, the opponent is still unwilling to leave the city to fight despite this humiliation. It seems that he is determined to pay attention to the enemy's stronghold." Du Jitai, you lead a thousand soldiers to plunder the surrounding countryside. Carter Bear, you lead a thousand soldiers to respond at any time.
, I will lead a thousand troops here to monitor Shifeng Village." Xue Qiluo gave the order meaningfully.
If you don't leave the city, I will go grab things. If you go out to fight with me in the field, you will really play into your own hands. Xue Qiluo had a confident smile on his face. I heard that that idiot Luo Gesen led five thousand silver wolf king cavalry and didn't even see him.
When they arrived, they were all bet and burned to death in the valley. The Sui people were good at plotting, and what Xue Qiluo was best at was also plotting, and since he designed to kill his uncle ten years ago when he was thirteen years old, he has done it every time.
Not a single plot ever failed.
…
…
Xue Yantuo's troops tried their best and were able to bring out 100,000 cavalry. This time Yishubo dispatched 50,000 cavalry to go south. The 50,000 cavalry, with the mobility of the Turkic cavalry, almost covered the entire border of Zhangye County. So almost on the same day, Zhangye
The city then received distress letters from two counties near the north, among which the situation in Xifeng County was the most critical.
