(Xie: Falling Wind Sta.)

, the big dirty day, and the clear sky tourmaline three brothers' rewards. ）

On the boulder, Liu Dehai was taking advantage of the interval between the other party's retreat to order someone to count the number of dead and wounded soldiers, and bandage the wounded to stop the bleeding. While he was busy, Liu Jun, who was observing the movement of the enemy troops on the edge of the rock, suddenly shouted: "What's the matter? What are they doing? ”

Liu Dehai hurriedly rushed to the edge of the stone to check down, but saw that Chang Youde's soldiers and horses were pulling out the camp and retreating, as if they were about to retreat. However, a cavalry of more than 300 men rushed out of the camp, and did not come in the direction of the boulder that they were holding onto, but galloped straight to the snowfield to the north. After a while, the cavalry retreated without a trace, and the more than 300 cavalry also galloped north, leaving only a row of small black dots.

"A bunch of trash, this is slipping?" Liu Dehai laughed and scolded.

"Something is wrong, they didn't attack with all their might, although they suffered losses in the morning, but they only killed and wounded a few hundred people, as long as they attacked with all their might, we couldn't survive the night. Why did you run away? It's weird. Liu Jun frowned.

"What's so strange? A group of cowards. Liu Dehai waved his hand disappreciatively.

Liu Xun stood on one side and stared at the other party's movements for a long time, his brows were tightly locked, and he said in a deep voice: "General Liu, don't take it lightly, it's really strange that they are evacuating like this, could it be that the envoy has arrived with reinforcements?" No, even if they withdraw, why do they have to divide the troops into two ways? What does it mean that the 300 or so cavalry are heading north? ”

Liu Dehai and Liu Jun hurriedly looked around, hoping to see signs of reinforcements coming, but they didn't see anything unusual in the distance around them for a long time, and then remembered that it was just Liu Xunzhi's speculation.

"Whatever, it's useless to think too much, take advantage of this moment, we might as well nourish our spirits more. In the morning they shot thousands of arrows, and we were worried about the lack of firewood, so we asked the brothers to collect them and cook horse meat for heating in the evening. Hahaha, these bunnies are chasing after us to bring firewood. Liu Dehai laughed and turned to leave.

Liu Xunzhi and Liu Jun are not as heartless as him, and they always feel that something is wrong, the key is that the other party's evacuation is unreasonable, and what does it mean to send three hundred cavalry to the north? It's a border to the north.

But in any case, the other side no longer attacked, but gave everyone a chance to breathe. After the morning's fighting, the group also learned that it was necessary to build a decent bunker on the rock to avoid the fire of bows and arrows. The original potholes and depressions in the stone can certainly have a protective effect, but once the opponent shoots intensively in all directions, there is always a certain angle that is not safe. On the side of the slope, there is also a need for cover that can dodge arrows and shoot down to prevent the opponent from climbing.

There was nothing on the stone except snow and ice. The stones are all hard granite-like stones, and they can't be chiseled at all. Then the only thing that can be used is the corpse of the dead soldier. Although this is a bit unkind, Liu Dehai can't care so much.

The corpses of more than 60 soldiers who had been killed by arrows and the corpses of more than a dozen horses that had been shot were densely stacked in a row of bunkers along the slope and from vantage points for archery. The carcasses of the men and horses covered in snow powder were soon frozen hard in the cold north wind, and the wall of flesh was enough to withstand the arrows.

While he was busy, someone suddenly pointed to the snowfield to the north and shouted, "What is that?" ”

Everyone gathered to the north side of the rock and looked north, but they saw the snow mist rising on the snow field, the rising snow waves were white, and the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the snow shell was faintly heard. After a while, a row of black dots quickly became clear in front of everyone's eyes, it was more than three hundred horsemen galloping on horseback, galloping towards the huge rock where they were standing.

"What's going on?" Everyone was very confused, these cavalry were obviously the small group of soldiers and horses that had broken away from the army of Chang Youde and rushed to the north in the afternoon. At this time, he turned around and went straight to the boulder, did he want to attack with the strength of these more than 300 people? It's a joke.

The doubts were quickly answered. On the snowfield behind the more than 300 cavalrymen, dense black dots appeared on the horizon on the edge of the snow. Although the distance was far away, the snow that they could see rushing under their feet was churning like clouds, and the earth was also heard with a slight trembling sound, boom, boom, like a muffled thunder rolling in the distance, and even the boulder could feel a clear vibration.

"What a vicious trick." Liu Xun scolded loudly.

"What? Mr. Liu, what's going on? Liu Dehai has not yet understood what is happening.

Liu Jun said coldly: "General Liu, don't you understand? Chang Youde, this bastard, deliberately sent more than 300 cavalry to the left side of the border, which was to seduce the Turkic or Xi soldiers and horses to come against us. What a poisonous plan to drive away the wolf. ”

"It's not the Xi people, it's the Turks, look at the banner, it's the red wolf flag of the Turks." Liu Xun said in a deep voice.

Liu Dehai suddenly realized, it turned out that the more than 300 cavalry went north to act as a bait to attract the Turkic cavalry on the border to the front of the Boulder Pass, obviously, the Turks will not go deep alone, and they can't attack the Boulder Pass, but when they see a small group of ** staying on the boulder, they must not let go, this is exactly what Liu Jun said in his mouth to drive away the wolf.

"All on alert, ready for battle." Liu Dehai shouted loudly.

More than 200 remnants of the army quickly entered the rear of the bunker and prepared to meet the battle, but when they saw the 300 cavalry roaring around the west side of the tall rock, they did not stop at all, and went straight to the Boulder Pass five or six miles away. Needless to say, the defenders of the Boulder Pass must have already communicated, and as soon as they arrived, they would open and close the door for them to enter, and then close the pass. The Turkic cavalry and the 200 remnants of the army were all locked outside the pass, and then it was time to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

It was useless to scold my mother angrily, and after just a meal, a large wave of Turkic cavalry had already come to the front. Most of these Turkic cavalry were dressed in simple leather armor, some of them were just wearing leather robes, furry fur hats on their heads, clear water in their hands was a bright Turkic scimitar, and the war horses under the crotch were tall and majestic Turkic horses.

Thousands of horsemen swept along the snow like a gust of wind, and the snow powder from the horses' hooves was blown by the north wind above the rocks, and the sky was suddenly foggy, as if another snow had fallen on the boulders. The snow powder shrouded the surroundings and darkened the daylight, like a sudden murderous aura, enveloping the more than 200 remnants on the top of the boulder into the cold and killing realm, making the already warm air in the afternoon cold as if it had frozen.

This Turkic cavalry is about more than 2,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of 2,000 Turkic cavalry is not trivial. He didn't want to be glued by the Turks, and with the 2,000 soldiers and horses he led, he was no match for these Turkic cavalry. He knew that it was the Turkic Aboda tribe that was operating outside the Boulder Pass, and it was the strongest of the Turkic tribes at present. commanding the eleven tribes of the Turkic Left Chamber, he not only harassed the Xi people, but also had great pressure on the **.

The Turks were obviously very puzzled by the sudden discovery of the ** soldiers and horses on the top of the boulder in front of them. They're fierce, but they're not stupid. The brigade of soldiers and horses stopped a few hundred steps away from the boulder, and after a while, two small groups of cavalry made a long detour around the left and right sides of the boulder, the intention of which was of course to check the movements of the pursuing three hundred cavalry, and to see if there was an ambush behind the rock.

When they learned that the three hundred cavalry had gone to the boulder pass and could no longer catch up, and after searching the area near the left, the small group of soldiers and horses on the rock was only alone, the Turks finally put their minds at ease.

"General Gerdor, this thing is a little strange, how can this ** stay on this rock, it seems that it is going to hold on, and there are defensive fortifications on it." A general spoke to the leading general, Gerdo.

Geerdo got a ** bright light armor to wear on his body, and he was tall and majestic in this armor.

"Now that it has been found out that they are hanging alone, and there is no ambush in the rear, there is no need to be afraid. Maybe the Tang people are not willing to let the large area outside the boulder pass be allowed to run by our Turkic army, and they are very angry in their hearts, this is to build a fortress on this boulder, and plan to extend their tentacles out of the pass? These people are really whimsical. Under the nose of my Geldor, although the territory of the Tang people is outside the Boulder Pass, my Turkic army can come and go whenever they want, how can I care about their feelings. ”

"What the general said is very true, for the past few years, the snow field outside this boulder pass has been controlled by my Turkic iron cavalry, and the Tang people are trying to stir up trouble by doing this. So, General Gerdor, what are we going to do? ”

"Do you need to ask? We have the final say outside the boulder pass, since the three hundred rabbit cubs have escaped, they can't return empty-handed today, and they will kill all the ** on the top of this rock and then turn back. It's best that the ** in the level can't see the eyes and come out to rescue, then we can have a big fight, and it is not in vain that we chase the three hundred rabbit cubs for dozens of miles. ”

"What the general said is extremely true, and his subordinates immediately ordered an attack."

The long horn sounded three times, and the Turkic cavalry brigade slowly moved through the snow, and the cavalry on both sides slowly outflanked from both flanks, and finally the water surrounding the boulder was impassable. Within close range of their bows and arrows, the Turkic cavalry removed their longbows from their horses, bent their bows and arrows, and waited for orders to attack.
