Chapter 198: Horizontal Knife

"Major General Yu, don't worry, since we are all here to kill the Turks, then we should join forces with each other." Hou Mi smiled at Yu Xi and arched his hand.

In fact, the connection between Hou Mi and Yu Xi is very fast, the number of people on both sides is too small compared to the Turkic cavalry on the grassland, which is often hundreds or even thousands, Hou Mi was able to eat such a tribe with five hundred Turks with about the same number as them this time, mainly because the other party was scattered everywhere, plus it was suddenly attacked, and in the end, if it was not for Yu Xi's joining, I am afraid it would be difficult to say the outcome or defeat.

Therefore, the 500 people here in Hou Mi and the more than 600 people in Yu Xi, no matter who is alone on the grassland, it is a little dangerous, and cooperation is obviously the best choice.

What's more, since it is now clear that the upper echelons of both sides cannot rush into conflicts, then everyone also has a basis for cooperation.

"General Hou is polite." Yu Xi said with a smile, and at the same time looked Hou Mi and the others up and down.

The best Northwest war horses, as well as the silver armor on their bodies, the short crossbows that look quite lethal, etc., really make Yu Xi very envious, these generals can still get such equipment, but it is limited to generals, and the soldiers below can't do it for everyone. Of course, in fact, this is also after the minerals in the southern and middle regions were gradually discovered, so that the Shuzhong workshop could be so "luxurious", and they were not much better before Hou Mi.

The real attraction is the white feathers on the helmets of these people.

This is the symbol of the Han family's Yulin Cavalry hundreds of years ago, and when it comes to the new Han, not only the Yulin Cavalry can wear feathers, but all the cavalry have this qualification to show their identity as the Han Iron Cavalry, but the Yulin Cavalry is the elite of the Han Army, and all the feathers are dyed red as a distinction.

Look at your subordinates again, most of the crotch are grassland bantam horses, although the endurance is enough, but the impact and explosive power are far less than the northwest horses, and the blades in the hands of the soldiers are also various, there are long knives and spears, there are also sabers, etc., compared to the Han cavalry's horse lance and waist knife, it suddenly makes people feel that they are a team of guerrillas.

Of course, Yu Xi didn't know that the waist knives worn by Hou Mi and these people also had mysteries.

This waist knife is not a scimitar similar to a saber, but a long-edged knife that stretches and straightens, and in later generations they have a very loud name, Tang Hengdao. This kind of blade, which is very suitable for getting on and off, is the sharp weapon that the Tang cavalry relies on to crisscross the Western Regions, and Li Xinchen certainly doesn't mind letting it appear in advance.

In fact, the horizontal knife can be regarded as a mixed fusion of the knives of the Central Plains and the northern nomads, the straight blade is very testing the forging technology, and the unfettered chopping is required to use the knife must have enough strength, but the damage it brings is also obvious to all, compared with the saber on the grassland, this horizontal knife is not long, but it can just complement the horse lance, and at the same time the single-handed knife and the double-handed knife are very convenient, and more importantly, the heavy back can also be used to smash, it can be said that a knife is multi-purpose.

The Japanese samurai sword of later generations can also be traced back to the body of Tang Hengdao, which can be regarded as a typical example of Japanese people actively learning Tang culture. Compared with the Japanese katana, the horizontal sword lacks a little curved beauty, but it is an out-and-out battlefield killing weapon!

It's a big coincidence, maybe that's what it says.

Of course, the current Yu Xi didn't realize how powerful this kind of knife was that Hou Mi and other Han soldiers couldn't put down, and after his eyes turned around on these guys who were neither enemies nor friends, he fell on the sturdy Turkic leader who was tied not far away.

The Turkic leader was covered with whip marks, and even his mud-covered face could be seen with obvious tear stains, and it was not known how much he had suffered.

"This guy's mouth isn't very strict." Secretary Hou made a gesture of invitation, leading Yu Xi and the others into the big tent.

Yu Xi and the other generals shuddered.

You guys are a little too ruthless.

Hou Mi seemed to see through the thoughts of Yu Xi and the others, and spread his hands: "At first, we really didn't say anything, we simply smeared some salt on the soles of his feet, and then let the sheep lick them, and said quickly." You see the tears that come out of laughter. ”

This time it was Qi Qi who gasped, and Yu Xi had an urge to pull out his legs and leave.

In fact, these methods were also thought up by the white robes in the army, this time Hou Mi went out of the plug, and also brought three white robes, firstly, the ability of these people to collect intelligence is obvious to all, and secondly, there is naturally one of the people who can get on the horse.

I didn't expect these guys to really be engaged in intelligence, and they used this method to make Hou Mi and them weak. Of course, Hou Mi can't expose the existence of the white robe, so he can only carry this pot on himself, maybe at this time, in the eyes of Yu Xi and others, he is going to become a cool official, right?

Ignoring so much, Hou Mi stretched out his hand and pointed at the map: "This tribe migrated from the east, or in other words, it was driven by your soldiers and horses from the north. Now that the steppe had become cold, the Turks could not plunder southward, so they decisively turned eastward. ”

"What?" Yu Xi frowned, "Doesn't this mean that it is unlikely that the Turks will directly confront us in the east?" ”

"This small tribe is just the vanguard, and there must be many people behind the palace," Hou Mi frowned and said, "But even if there are only 10,000 or 20,000 Turks, it is enough for us to drink a pot in the northwest, and when the cavalry presses over, no one will be able to escape." ”

Yu Xi suddenly gasped, yes, Yang Jian has very little territory in the northwest, but it is very important. For the Turks, obviously Tianshui, Anding and even Wuwei have nothing to grab, if you really change to the west and then go south, obviously Guanzhong is a better choice, and it is even possible to block the soldiers and horses of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Hetao, and there will be another "siege of Baishan Mountain".

And Xiaoguan and Pinggao County, which are guarded by the Yu family, are the northwest gate of Guanzhong!

No one can escape.

"These Turks are really dog-nosed, they smell far and run fast." Yu Xi couldn't help but complain.

The two armies of the Northern Zhou Dynasty went north, in fact, they were both looking for the main Turkic force to fight a decisive battle, but now it seems that the Turks obviously did not have this intention.

The army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty advanced, the infantry and cavalry coordinated, and the grain and grass hall were behind, and the army advanced step by step, but the Turks moved the entire tribe to the Lele cart, and they could go at any time, and all the young and strong turned over to the horses, and turned to the cavalry, pulling like the wind.

Looking at Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian's thoughts now, it is obviously a bit naΓ―ve, but their primary strategic goal is also to recover the encroached lands in the north, and the decisive battle with the Turks is only a secondary goal, so it is reasonable to do so.
