Chapter Ninety-Seven: Encounter
"Why are we camping here? The Han people's war books say that the terrain between the canyons is the most unsuitable for military garrisons, and the high ground on both sides can threaten us at any time. ”。
"That's the rule of those Han people, and those Han people are not good at riding after all. If you were to be stationed here with infantry, you would be troubled by the threat posed by the high ground on both sides. But we are different, we are the most favored people of Tengger. It's our home on horseback, and it doesn't matter if we're camping here. There are our sentinels at both exits of this Yinwa Gorge, and once we find a large Han Chinese army, we can always get on our horses and break through from the other side. Or you can directly hit the attacking Han army head-on. Having been hunting around here for so long these days, I have looked closely, and there is no better place for our cavalry to rest than here. The leader of the Turkic cavalry said to the Turkic cavalry.
"Kafa Yaka, you are the most admired warrior in our hearts. Your decisions will always be so smart and far-sighted. I apologize most sincerely for the offense that has just been made by questioning your decision. When the Turkic cavalry heard his leader's answer, he said in adoration.
"These Han Chinese are very cunning, and earlier used tricks to divide our powerful Turks into two hostile tribes, the East and the West. Now that there is infighting between them, we will inevitably come to take revenge. In recent years, the blockade of us by the Central Plains has prevented us from having a large number of well-crafted arrows to hunt enough prey. As a result, a large number of clansmen will freeze and starve to death every winter, and even we have to leave our warm hometown and come to this place full of yellow sand because of them. Luckily, we've got enough prey. ”
When the leader of the Turkic cavalry said this, his eyes couldn't help but drift a few times into his tent. There were also several young women tied up in it, which they had obtained when they were raiding the village. When I think of those Han women, they are different from the hot and straightforward Turkic women, but they are gentle and watery. I felt that there was an evil fire in my lower abdomen for no reason, and I was thirsty, and even my breathing was a little heavier for a while.
When the Turkic cavalry on the opposite side saw their leader like this, they knew that their leader wanted to taste the taste of several Han women in the tent again, and they left with interest. When the Turkic leader saw that the subordinate with whom he was talking had left, he impatiently walked towards his tent. When I opened the curtain first, I saw a few young women who were tied hand and foot with ropes and only a woolen blanket on their bodies. I couldn't help but feel even more angry, and at the moment I untied the strap around my waist, and just as I was about to act, suddenly the shout of the Turkic cavalry came from outside the tent:
"Stuck teeth, something is wrong."
I was on the rise, but I was interrupted by my subordinates for no reason. This made the leader of the Turkic cavalry very angry, so he scolded directly outside without getting up in the tent: "What fool is shouting outside, ruining my good deeds!" What's the big deal? ”
The cavalryman outside the door heard his leader's tone with anger, but at this time, he had to tell the leader about it, so he turned his heart and continued: "Kafa Yaka, a large number of Han cavalry were found at the southeast exit of Yinwa Gorge, and the sentry who came to deliver the message said that the number of people on the other side was far superior to ours. ”
"Isn't it the army of the Han Chinese? How do you...."The leader of the Turkic cavalry heard his subordinates say that at the exit southeast of the Yinwa Gorge, the Han army was found. I didn't react for a while, and just when I wanted to scold him why he was so afraid in the face of the Han army, he finally reacted to what his subordinates said that the Han army was cavalry. So he hurriedly got up from the ground, tied his pants again, lifted his tent curtain and walked out and asked, "You mean the cavalry troops of the Han people?" ”
"Yes, Kafa Yaka, the cavalry of the Han Chinese, there are a lot, more than ours." The Turkic cavalryman said respectfully.
"Let our warriors pack up their camp and set off to the northwest at once, we have more favorable conditions in the desert to the north. This Han cavalry can be easily defeated. The leader of the Turkic cavalry ordered.
But before the subordinate could convey his order, another sentry came to report that a large number of Han cavalry had also been found at another exit at the northwestern end of the Yinwa Gorge.
After receiving this news, the Turkic leader's face changed. After calculating the gains and losses in his heart, he ordered: "Warriors, follow me out from the exit at the southeast end. Like Guazhou, he moved closer and sought refuge from Li Rail's army. ”
At this time, the troops blocking the Turkic cavalry at the southeast and northwest exits of Yinwa Gorge were Li Wenyuan's Fourth Army. The army on the northwest side was led by Udru, and the army on the southeast side was led by Li Wenyuan himself. Li Wenyuan knew very well that the Turks' horsemanship was superb, and if he did not use the naturally favorable terrain of Yinwa Gorge to block the Turkic army, then it would be absolutely wishful thinking for him to completely annihilate this cavalry force. So he divided his forces with Utreus when he was approaching the Yinwa Gorge, selected the fastest horses in the Fourth Legion, handed them over to the Udrud to lead, and made a long detour to block the northwest side of the Yinwa Gorge.
The scouts also reported that there was indeed a large group of Turkic cavalry in the Yinwa Gorge who were packing up the camp at this time, and it seemed that they had also received the news of their own march. Li Wenyuan nodded when he heard this, and took off a handcuff tied to his chest. Turning his head to the cavalry following behind him, he said: "Sons, when you charge with me for a while, after you have exhausted all the bullets in the four handcuffs on your body, draw your sword and have a hard fight with them, and play the prestige of our Fourth Legion." Let these Yelang arrogant Turks in the future as soon as they see the banner of my Fourth Legion, they will give me a detour. With that, he took the cavalry behind him and rushed towards the Turkic cavalry troops in the Yinwa Gorge.
At this time, the Turkic cavalry in the Yinwa Gorge had also packed up the camp and turned over their horses, and just after the assembly was completed, they heard the sound of horses and horses' hooves coming from the gorge, and the leader of the Turkic cavalry hurriedly pulled out the saber at his waist, and also said to the Turkic cavalry behind him: "Since these Han people want to have a cavalry duel with us, then we will teach them what cavalry is." Teach a good lesson to these arrogant Han people who won a few games. ”
