"Uh......... Woo ........." The terrible sound of the horn sounded in the tribe, and all the warriors of the tribe were startled, and hurriedly ran out of their tents with their weapons in hand, and hurried to the tethered horses. The horses had not yet put on their saddles, but the sound of the trumpets became more and more urgent, and it was clear that the enemy situation was very urgent, and most of the tribal warriors did not bother to put on their saddles, but hung their longbows on their shoulders, and took a pot of arrows and carried them diagonally, and jumped on their horses with a convenient rope, and quickly gathered in the direction from which the enemy came.
However, as soon as they gathered, countless arrows were reflected in their pupils, closer and closer, closer and closer, until the entire pupil was completely covered by a sudden rain of sharp arrows............
This Tuyuhun tribe is called the Daomei tribe, and it ranks in the middle of the Tuyuhun tribes, large and small, with more than 2,000 family tents, more than 10,000 people, and more than 3,000 adult males, all of whom are warriors. It's just that only 1,000 soldiers were left in the clan, and the other more than 2,000 soldiers went to Dacao Valley in Xiping County, Great Sui on the orders of King Bailan, and have not returned yet.
After a battle, all the more than 1,000 or so cavalry gathered by the sword department were killed.
The 3,000 iron horsemen quickly divided into two wings like flowing water, and surrounded the more than 2,000 tents. Captain Su Changqing rode and led a thousand cavalry under his command to the Chinese army, and all the clansmen of the Daomei tribe were concentrating there under the suppression of the knights under the four directions.
The women and children took the children's hands and silently obeyed the order, their expressions full of hatred, and then knelt down to Zhan Xiongwu under the leadership of several elders, and kowtowed again and again, and the head of the forehead was thumped and bleeding, begging them for mercy.
However, Su Changqing, Jiang Muchang, and Li Xiang didn't pay attention to them at all, and Su Changqing ordered: "All the men who can ride horses are killed, and then they scavenge for grain and grass and burn their tents." ”
Half an hour later, all the Daomei tribesmen, except for the elderly, weak, women and children, were killed, and their tents were burned to ashes. And the 3,000 cavalry of Gaotai City had already left, and after resting, they moved on to the next tribe.
So far, with the addition of the sword tribe, they have raided four tribes, all of which have been completely victorious, but they have also killed more than a hundred warriors in total.

……
Xue Qiluo stood under the military village, looking at this majestic and strong military village, he couldn't help but feel proud, Shifeng Village was about to be conquered by him, in a short period of time, he recruited more than a dozen small tribes under the jurisdiction of Xue Yantuo, such as the Fengluo Department, the Yellow Sheep Department, the Red Rain Department, the Black Horse Department, etc., forming an army of 30,000 people, plus the elite of the five thousand tent soldiers of the Xue Yantuo Department who was not weaker than the Qiming Khan Silver Wolf King rode by him, and won the Shifeng Village that was guarded by more than 1,000 people, and it was not easy to capture.
"To take Shifeng Village, first of all, we must take these two guard forts, these two guard forts will not exceed two hundred troops, which leader wants to win this first credit?" Xue Qiluo looked around at the surrounding tribal leaders and said loudly.
"Little Chief, my department is willing to go!" The two tribal leaders stood up, the Black Horse Department and the Red Rain Department, both of whom were hardcore followers of most of Xue Yantuo in the Tiele Tribe.
"Good!" Yi lost the bowl and was overjoyed, "Taking Weibao is the first achievement, after capturing Shifeng Village, you will get two shares of all the spoils." Xue Qiluo generously made a promise.
The rest of the tribal leaders couldn't help but show remorse on their faces, and it was not easy to attack a guard fort garrisoned by more than 100 people with the strength of one force, and they were one step slower, but they let the Dark Horse Department and the Red Rain Department grab such a good thing.
The head of the Black Horse Department, Habagou, and the head of the Red Rain Department, Chi Shizhu, ran triumphantly to the soldiers they brought, and after a while, the two people and horses rushed out, because they were attacking the Fort on their backs, the war horses had lost their effect, and the Black Horse Department and the Red Rain Department both dismounted and fought on foot, holding weapons, carrying cloud ladders, and running to the Fort with a roar. Xue Qiluo ordered 5,000 cavalry to slowly press forward to prevent the main fortress from potentially assisting the fort.
After the soldiers of the two forts saw the flags on the main fortress, they already had the heart of death, and the hundred people of the left guard looked at the left and right with a smile, and said with a resolute face: "Brothers, we are going to die, before we die, pull a few more cushions!" ”
After more than 100 people were silent for a while, they all howled together, their faces showed a hideous look, left and right are death, so make more military achievements before you die, and exchange more pensions for your family!
At the same time, a similar scene took place in the Castle on the right. Soldiers with mortal intentions poured into all parts of the fort, their eyes fierce and staring closely at the approaching Turks.
Unlike foreign wars, especially against the murderous Turks and the Sui people's own civil wars, no Sui soldier would normally think of surrendering to the Turks.
The characteristic whistling sound of the eight-bull crossbow broke the pre-war silence, and the powerful crossbow. The bow shot into the crowd, and the dense crowd of the Black Horse Department was immediately shot out of an alley, as thick as a child's arm, and the eight-ox crossbow arrows about four feet long strung together several people like gourds, and knocked down a large number of people behind them.
"Good!" The soldiers in the fort shouted, and several of them joined forces to rewind the crossbow again. Each fort was equipped with two eight-oxen crossbows, and the range was about 800 paces, a distance from which the Turks could only be beaten.
There are dozens of horses in each of the two gallops out, the cavalry is fast, once the eight-bull crossbow is fixed, it is difficult to change the angle, the plain ignores the cavalry rushing to the fort, the cavalry gallops to the fort dozens of paces away, open the bow and lead the arrows, suppress the fire on the fort, the sound of arrows, the Tiele tribes are famous for their belligerence among the Turkic departments, these Turks are all excellent archery, very accurate, the Sui soldiers on the fort are not careful, they will be hit by the arrow, although there is armor to block, but if they are shot in the face of the vital point, it will also be killed with one blow. Wounded soldiers began to appear on the fort.
Although the power of the Eight Ox crossbow was great, the rate of fire was slow, and only about two crossbow arrows were fired from the two forts, and the besiegers who rushed to the castle rushed to the bottom of the fort, and the ladder was erected, and the warriors of the Black Horse Department and the Red Rain Department began to climb up the ladder like ants.
"Let go of the wood!"
The soldiers guarding the fort pulled the rope sharply, and hung the wood that had been prepared for a long time on the battlement plate of the fort and fell down with a loud sound, and the autumn wind swept the leaves to beat the enemy on the ladder to go down, and the people who were directly hit down by the wood were broken and broken, and they couldn't die anymore, so they were lucky to avoid the wood, but they fell from a place of about ten meters high, and they were inevitably seriously injured and dying, and in the blink of an eye, there was an extra layer of corpses and a group of screaming wounded soldiers under the fort.
"Prepare the stones!" Hundreds of people roared.
"Smash me to death!"
There are too many enemies under the fort to look at, just throw a stone down and you can hit the enemy. A group of soldiers picked up the stone and rushed forward.
