The wind and snow have stopped, and the winter sun is very weak.

The canyon is lined with blue-black stones on both sides, layered on top of each other, and the ground is also rugged, stretching little by little to a large river in the distance.

The previous wind blew away the snow on the stones, exposing more of the stones, and the deep color pierced straight into everyone's eyes and hearts. The people walking on the road actually didn't know what was about to appear in front of them, and from time to time their eyes glanced at the Turkic man who was leading the way in front of them.

Who knows if he sincerely took refuge in the Han Dynasty and was willing to be the leading party, after all, there were tens of thousands of Turks in the river valley ahead.

Moving forward along the road in the river valley, the field of vision gradually widened, and Yu Xi, who was walking in the front, made a quiet squatting gesture, most of these soldiers were elite scouts in the army, otherwise they were not qualified to be the forward, at this time they naturally lay down on the spot, or looked for cover nearby.

And just ahead, a Turkic tribe of no small size appeared in view, stretching into the distance.

"This is the North Exit?" Yu Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Heli next to him.

Hou Mi is the commander of this army after all, so Yu Xi still used the same excuse to snatch the right to command the striker from his hands, after all, others are not qualified.

And their plan is also very simple, the road in the valley is actually not smooth, they can advance as much as possible through the Turkic leading party of Hali, 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 step by step.

This tactic is not much different from the tactic adopted by Li Xinchen in the battle of Cangxi Valley.

The key is that there must be no problems with the Turkic leading party, Hou Mi and Yu Xi have also made a lot of efforts to do so, mainly to seal the tone of those rescued Han slaves, but fortunately, those Han slaves can also understand the importance of defeating the entire Turkic, so they are still very cooperative in this matter.

Of course, Hou Mi also directly promised official positions and rewards, as for whether the imperial court is willing to redeem this promise at that time, or whether Ha Li has the life to live until that time, it is not Hou Mi's concern. Born in a general's family, of course, he knows that his promises are actually full of loopholes under the current Han Dynasty's strict official system.

However, Heli, who had no contact with the Han at all, was obviously unaware of this problem.

At least for now, he still has a sincere desire to live.

"That's right," said Heli, gesturing in front of him, "from here, it's about a mile long defensive line, which stretches all the way to the Great River, and before the villain leaves, there are more than 10,000 people here, and there are more than five or six thousand soldiers who can fight. ”

After a pause, Heli hurriedly explained: "Of course, there are still our tribes on the periphery, so they don't have much defense here, the general can look over there, there is a place to hoard grain and grass, and there are also a large number of slaves, cattle and sheep over there." These were mainly the subordinates and livestock directly under the Turkic Tutun, and when the Turkic Yehu received his subordinates, they did not directly annex them, but left them as a reward for those who had the most merit in this battle. ”

Although the social structure of the Turks is simpler than that of the dynasty in the Central Plains, it is not really without intrigue and calculation, this Turkic Ye Hu is obviously not stupid, Ye Hu is originally one of the best leaders among the Turkic tribes, and once he swallows up the Tutun tribes again, then he will have the strength to threaten the Turkic Great Khan, but this is just a threat, the Turkic Great Khan can become the Great Khan, and it is definitely not something that Ye Hu can contend with.

So 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, so that Tutun and Ye Hu are actually in the same breath, but not so ambitious.

In fact, this is just a commonly used method in officialdom, when Li Xinchen was strong, in order not to attract Nan Chen's attention, he also tried his best to pile the credit on Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie.

"The tribes and the livestock are still there." Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

That is to say, at least the Huile City side should still be supported now, otherwise these "rewards" should not be in this place anymore.

"And it seems like there's a lot more." There's something strange about Heli.

Yu Xi was stunned for a moment: "Why is this?" ”

"It's not that it hasn't increased before, even after a few tribes don't attack well, their tribes and livestock will also be pushed here directly, waiting to be handed over to the meritorious people as a reward for victory with the tribes of Tutun." "This means that a new tribal leader has been executed." ”

"That's a good thing." Yu Xi laughed, which showed that the development of the war in Huile City was better than he imagined.

But think about it, what level is Daddy, he must be better than himself.

"The general?" He asked tentatively.

He still cares a lot about how Yu Xi will use his necked head.

"At night, we can't rush directly into such a big camp." Yu Xi said decisively, "While the outer tribes have just been cleaned up and the Turks have not found anything abnormal, we can still use the method of sneak attack." ”

Although they walked the steppes in a nomadic manner, the Turks also had strict discipline and a strict hierarchy based on force.

Yu Xi led the cavalry to directly raid Heli's camp, but he only took advantage of the wind and snow weather, and Heli himself was not vigilant. Now if he kills directly in broad daylight, Yu Xi feels that he will lose very badly.

So if you want to win in the chaos, you still have to wait for the evening to come.

"And we can't just swagger and kill it," Yu Xi then said, "A few of you come here, let the brothers change into the clothes they prepared before, and let's dress up in disguise." ”

The captains and the battlemaster who were called looked at each other, and the general was sure that he was talking about the tattered clothes, or even the rotten strips of cloth?

"That's right, our main men and horses are disguised as Han slaves, and two hundred elite soldiers are disguised as Turks, otherwise even at night, so many of us will be killed directly, and it is impossible for the other side not to notice it at all." Yu Xi confirmed the thoughts of these generals, "Once it is discovered, we will do it again, and at least we should be close to the camp at that time." ”

After a pause, the smile on Yu Xi's face was also a little hideous: "What kind of chaos can be created at that time, and how many Turks can be killed, it depends on you." ”
