The mountains in the night are like dormant beasts, silent and majestic.

At the foot of the mountain, the majestic mountains sheltered the cold winds blowing from the north, making the snow thicker on the ground and the temperature less bitter than in the wilderness.

It is the majestic Yinshan Mountains that keep the cold out of the north, giving birth to the fertile land and abundant rivers of the Eilechuan, making it the ranch coveted by the grassland peoples.

The vast Eilechuan has been left behind, Baidaokou is in front of you, as long as you pass through the past, it is the Mobei where the ancestors of the Xue Yantuo people have multiplied for generations.

However, the proximity made Umach feel a sense of panic......

It's so quiet!

At the foot of the mountain pass, Tima Zhi rode on his horse, and only the sound of the hooves of the war horses on the snow could be heard in his ears, and even the wheezing of the war horses could be heard clearly, but in the camp above the mountain pass in front of him, there was no sound at all, and it was quiet.

It's so unusual.

"No scouts coming to pick you up?"

Dama suppressed the panic in his heart, and turned his head to ask the other Qu Shuai beside him.

"No, not only did our scouts come to answer them, but even the scouts we sent out never returned, and there was no news."

That Qu Shuai frowned, and also realized that something was wrong.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were very gloomy when he looked at Yamaguchi.

Something is wrong......

Could it be that the Tang army took a detour in front of him and looked at Baidaokou to annihilate Xue Yantuo's garrison, intending to block his retreat?

If that's the case, it's a big problem.

The way home was blocked by the Tang army, so that these Xue Yantuo cavalry could put on their wings and fly over the majestic Yin Mountain?

Taking a deep breath, Timach ordered: "Send a team of cavalry and rush forward!" ”

This is the only thing that can be done at the moment, and there is no temptation, if the garrison of Xue Yantuo at the mountain pass does not send someone to meet him because he is asleep, the Dharma tribe will immediately cut off his head as compensation for his fright.

If the mountain pass has already been occupied by the Tang army......

There is nothing to say, only to attack.

Naturally, everyone was overjoyed, and everyone rode their horses and galloped all the way home; If you can't attack it, it's over.

Although the water and grass are fertile, it means that in the summer, such as today's cold land and heavy snowfall, a herdsman in the entire Elechuan cannot be seen, and almost all of them are shrunk in Dingxiang City, without a herdsman, they will naturally not be able to snatch food, so how can his army survive?

The white road is impassable, and if you want to return to Mobei, you can only bypass this section of the Yinshan Mountain Range called Daqing Mountain, and if you want to bypass the Yinshan Mountain between heaven and earth, it will take at least three months.

For three months, floating on the deserted Eile River and at the foot of Yin Mountain, these Xue Yantuo warriors had to be frozen into sticks, and they had no life to survive......

If that's the case, it's better to simply fight to the death at Baidaokou, at least a little bit, and don't have to suffer.

"No!"

The commander beside him got the order, and immediately rode out of the horse, leading his soldiers and horses along a mountain road and rushing towards the mountain pass.

They are all generals who followed the Yinan Khan to fight in the east and west, and these Qu Shuai are naturally not fools, and they are all aware of the seriousness of the matter.

The horses gradually picked up speed, and the sound of the horses' hooves stepping on the ice and snow was particularly clear in the night.

At the same time, the bowstring rattled and the sound of arrows passing through the air was particularly clear......

A stone's throw away from the mountain pass, Xue Yantuo's cavalry encountered a rain of arrows.

Rain-like arrows rose from the mountain pass, poured down, and slammed into the formation of this pair of Xue Yantuo cavalry. Although they were all careful to guard against the enemy's attack, the arrows of the Tang army were really too sharp, and the Xue Yantuo cavalry, who lacked iron armor and armor, were hit by arrows one after another, wailing and falling from their horses.

The rest of the people quickly turned their horses around and returned to the bottom of the mountain pass.

It is already clear that Yamaguchi has long fallen into the hands of the Tang......

Under the darkness of the night, all the Xue Yantuo warriors were silent, holding the whips and blades in their hands tightly, and looking at the Baidaokou that was a stone's throw away.

The way home was blocked by the Tang people......

Dumo Zhi was about to crush his teeth, he really didn't expect that the Tang army actually abandoned Dingxiang City, brazenly bypassed himself who was slow on the march, and raided Baidaokou in advance.

If this was the case, it would be better to simply capture Dingxiang City, at least defend the city, and wait until Dadu set up a joint army, and go to ponder whether to forcibly attack Baidaokou or defend Dingxiang City, and then send envoys to negotiate with the Tang army.

But now I look back......

Who knows if the Tang army in Mayi City has already rushed to Dingxiang, laid a net of heaven and earth, and waited for himself to return at Baidaokou and plunge into their pockets?

When facing the enemy, the most important thing is to avoid hesitation, and to make a decision immediately.

"Guys, follow me!"

Resolutely, he tightened his cloak, took his spear in his hand, and said loudly.

Qu Shuai beside him was a little hesitant: "The Tang army is good at defending, occupying the Baidaokou at the moment, and it has the advantage of the terrain. ”

Dumo said angrily: "The Tang army bypassed us and rushed ahead, and it must go into battle lightly, without the support of heavy equipment, why be afraid of him?" At present, it is between life and death, either break through the Tang army and capture Baidaokou, or we can only wander on the Eile River, bypassing Yinshan to return to Mobei, how to choose, why argue? ”

Dadu set up to go deep into the Tang realm to chase and kill the Turks, no matter whether the Tang army dared to go to war with Dadu, it must be dispatched to strictly guard against it, who knows if Dadu set up to kill ruthlessly, will it not do two things and directly attack Mayi or even Yanmen Pass?

As a border town of the Tang Dynasty, Mayi must stay in the garrison.

In addition, in order to prevent him from turning back, Dingxiang City must also have Tang troops stationed at this moment...... In this way, the total strength of the two guards of the Tang Army plus the border army is only more than 100,000, and they are stationed separately, which is already overstretched, so the army in front of them that raided Baidaokou is only 18,000 people.

If he was frightened by these 18,000 people and did not dare to attack and eventually lead to the destruction of the whole army, he would not be willing to die!

In any case, a strong assault is a must.

That Qu Shuai trembled and didn't dare to say more.

When the order was issued, the whole army threw away the camp tents and baggage they carried, and quickly assembled with light equipment.

"Rush forward! Kill all the Tang Army, I will lead you and wait home! ”

With a loud roar, the prancing horse crossed his spear, and rushed towards the mountain pass first.

The Xue Yantuo cavalry behind him was also fearless of death, following the figure of Dumazhi, and the tide rushed towards the mountain pass!

*****

On the side of the Tang Army, all the generals have long been ready for battle.

Xue Rengui put on his helmet and armor, sat upright on his horse, with phoenix wings gilded boring hanging on the victory hook of the bird's wing ring, a square face with a solemn face, and blazing eyes, staring at the Xue Yantuo cavalry coming in front of him.

The horses' hooves roared, and as soon as the enemy arrived, they charged.

Xue Rengui secretly bowed his head, this Lama branch is a rare famous general in Xue Yantuo, and no matter what the level of the army is arranged, this decision to make a trade-off in an instant alone is rarely matched.

It's just that you want to use superior forces to beat me with a stable foothold?

Want to drop beauty......

Xue Rengui's handsome face showed a sneer.

I'm going to show you something new today......

On the horse raised his hand in the air: "Crossbowman, put!" ”

"Peng!"

The bowstring shook, and a rain of arrows rose from the Tang army's array, shooting at Xue Yantuo's cavalry with his head covered and his face covered.

"Puff Puff"

The sharp three-edged arrow cluster easily tore apart the leather armor on Xue Yantuo's cavalry, pierced into the flesh fiercely, and screamed miserably when the arrow was hit, and fell from the horse one after another.

After three rounds of arrow rain in a row, the formation of Xue Yantuo's cavalry was already scattered, and it no longer had the earth-shattering might.

Throughout the ages, the cavalry of the Hu nationality certainly occupied the advantage of mobility, and they fought if they could fight and ran away if they couldn't, and they were always able to grasp the initiative in the war. However, the lack of iron armor could not resist the accumulation of bows and crossbows, and the ancestors had suffered enough from the Han people's bows and crossbows, which made their scalps numb when they saw the Han people's bows and crossbows, and even brave warriors were unwilling to use their flesh and blood to resist the sharp arrows, and they were afraid to avoid them.

At this moment, in the face of the Tang Army's powerful bow and crossbow, he bravely braved the arrows in the sky to launch a charge, and his morale was completely lost.

However, the lethality of the bow and crossbow is certainly powerful, but the shortcomings are also very obvious, and one or two armies will be useless.

Unless you shoot indiscriminately, you will shoot and kill without distinguishing between friend and foe......

In the face of the arrows in the sky, Xue Yantuo's cavalry spontaneously spread out in formation, waited until they approached the Tang army's position, and then slowly approached, charging like a mountain and a sea!

"Fight with me!"

Xue Rengui shouted, carrying a musket in his hand, clamping the horse's belly, and neighing the war horse under his crotch, rushing towards the charging enemy.
