The wind and snow have stopped, and the sunshine in winter is particularly weak.
Both sides of the canyon are covered with blue-black stones, layer upon layer, and the ground is also rugged, extending bit by bit towards the river in the distance.
The previous wind blew away the snow on the rocks, leaving more rocks exposed. The deep color pierced into everyone's eyes and into their hearts. They were not sure what was about to appear in front of them.
, the people walking on the road actually had no idea. Their eyes glanced at the Turk who was leading the way from time to time.
Who knows if he has sincerely surrendered to the Han and is willing to be the leader. After all, there are tens of thousands of Turks in the valley ahead.
Moving forward along the road in the river valley, the view gradually broadened, and Yu Xi, who was walking at the front, made a gesture of squatting quietly. Most of these soldiers were elite scouts in the army, otherwise they would not be qualified to serve as forwards.
At this time, they will naturally lie down on the spot, or find a bunker nearby.
And right in front, a large Turkic tribe appeared in the field of vision, extending into the distance.
"Is this the north entrance?" Yu Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Heli next to him.
After all, Hou Mi was the commander-in-chief of this army, so Yu Xi still used the same excuse to snatch the right to lead the forward from him. After all, no one else had this qualification.
And their plan is also very simple. In fact, the road in the river valley is not smooth. They can push forward as much as possible through Heli, the Turkic leader party. Whether it is a strong attack or a surprise attack, in short, they can solve the first few layers of defense of the Turks.
, and then naturally rely on the favorable terrain to defend.
This tactic is almost the same as the one adopted by Li Xingchen in the Battle of Cangxi Valley.
The key is that Hari, the Turkic leader party, must not cause any problems. For this reason, Hou Mi and Yu Xi have also worked hard, mainly to silence the rescued Han slaves. Fortunately, those Han slaves are also relatively
I understand the importance of defeating the entire Turks, so I am very cooperative in this matter.
Of course, Secretary Hou also directly promised official positions and rewards. As for whether the court is willing to redeem this promise at that time, or whether Hari is still alive to survive until then, that is not what Secretary Hou cares about. As a general, he
Of course, he knew that these promises he made were actually full of loopholes under the current strict official system of the Han Dynasty.
However, Heli, who had no contact with the big man at all, obviously did not realize this problem.
At least from now on, he still sincerely wants to survive.
"That's right," Heli stretched out his hand and gestured in front of him, "from here, there is a defense line about one mile long, extending to the river. Before the villain left, there were more than ten thousand people here, and the number of soldiers that could fight was
More than five or six thousand."
After a pause, Hari hurriedly explained: "Of course there are tribes like us on the periphery, so they don't have much defense here. The general can look over there. There is a place where grain and grass are stored, and there are also a large number of slaves, cattle and sheep.
Over there. These are mainly the tribes and livestock that were once directly under the Turkic Tutun. After the Turkic Yehu took over his tribe, they did not directly annex them, but left them as rewards to the leader in this battle.
A successful person."
Although the social structure of the Turks is simpler than that of the dynasties in the Central Plains, it is not really without intrigues and calculations. This Turk Ye Hu is obviously not stupid either. Ye Hu is already one of the top leaders among the Turk tribes, and once he engulfs him again
If he conquers the people of Tutun, then he will have the strength to threaten the Turkic Great Khan, but this is just a threat. The Turkic Great Khan can become a great khan, which is definitely not something that Ye Hu can contend with.
Therefore, instead of attracting the attention of the Great Khan so early, it is better to support one of his cronies to become the new Tutun. In this way, Tutun and Ye Hu are actually of the same spirit, but not so ambitious.
In fact, this is just a commonly used method in official circles. When Li Xingchen was strong, in order not to attract Nan Chen's attention, he tried his best to give credit to Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie.
"Now these tribesmen and livestock are still there." Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
In other words, at least the Hui Le City side should still be supporting it now, otherwise these "rewards" shouldn't be here anymore.
"And it seems there are a lot more." Heli was a little surprised.
Yu Xi was stunned for a moment: "Why is this?"
"It's not like there hasn't been an increase before. Even after a few tribes failed to attack, their tribes and livestock would be pushed directly here, waiting to be handed over to the meritorious people as victory rewards together with the Tutun tribes.
People." Hari said helplessly, "This means that a new tribal leader has been executed."
"That's a good thing." Yu Xi laughed, which meant that the development of the war in Hui Le City was better than he imagined.
But think about it, what level is my father? He must be better than me.
"That general?" Hari asked tentatively.
He still cared about how Yu Xi would use the head on his neck.
"At night, we can't rush into such a large camp directly." Yu Xi said decisively, "While the surrounding tribes have just been cleared and the Turks haven't noticed anything unusual, we can still use a sneak attack."
Although they walk on the grasslands in a nomadic and scattered way, the Turks also have strict discipline and a strict hierarchy based on force.
When Yu Xi led the cavalry to directly raid Heli's camp, he only took advantage of the wind and snow, and Heli himself was not vigilant. Now if he directly killed him in broad daylight, Yu Xi felt that he would be defeated.
Very miserable.
So if you want to win in chaos, you still have to wait until night comes.
"And we can't just kill them in such a blatant way," Yu Xi said immediately, "Come here, let the brothers put on the clothes they prepared before, and let's dress up."
The several captains and commanders who were called looked at each other in confusion. Are you sure the general is talking about those tattered clothes, or even rags?
"That's right, our main troops are disguised as Han slaves, and two hundred elite soldiers are deployed to disguise themselves as Turks. Otherwise, even at night, with so many of us killing directly, there is no way the other side will not notice at all." Yu Xi confirmed.
The thinking of these generals was, "Once we are discovered and we take action, at least we should be close to the camp."
After a pause, the smile on Yu Xi's face became a bit ferocious: "It's up to you to see how much chaos you can create at that time and how many Turks you can kill." (To be continued)
