Volume 5: Whose Great Cause, Chapter 22: The Turks' Counterattack (3)

Half an hour later, the Sui army, who was supposed to arrive at their ambush site early in the morning, did not even show a shadow, and Jieli and his subordinates were impatiently waiting, so they did not send scouts in order not to be discovered by the Sui army.

"Great Khan, could it be that we have been discovered?" A Turkic nobleman who couldn't hold his breath asked.

Jieli's face changed, and he stroked the harrier eagle who stopped resting on his shoulder, and his arm shook: "Go!" ”

The harrier eagle flapped its wings and let out a long groan, and soon flew into the air, turning into a black dot and flying into the distance, everyone stared at the black dot that the harrier eagle turned into, for fear of losing the figure of the harrier eagle, and the harrier eagle soon circled in the sky several miles away.

With this small half an hour, the Sui army has not only all gone up the mountain, but also used the wood used in the camp to make a simple layer of protection, and even dug a shallow trench, although it can not completely prevent the impact of the war horse, but it is better than nothing, in order to prevent the soldiers from consuming too much physical strength, Li Jing has ordered everyone to rest, knowing that the Turks are coming, but the soldiers do not have the slightest nervousness, these days are smooth enough to make them disdain the Turks, and some soldiers also hurry up the fire to cook.

"What's going on, why are they still in place?" Seeing the hovering position of the harrier eagle, the Turkic nobles couldn't help but whisper, and their faces were full of puzzlement. The harrier eagle is a flat-haired animal, no matter how psychic it is, it can only point out the enemy's location.

A Turkic nobleman stretched out his hand and pointed: "Look, what is that?" Smoke rose from the bottom of the harrier eagle hovering, and Jieli and the other nobles suddenly realized that the Sui army was eating, and Jieli turned to Zhao Deyan beside him: "Military advisor, what should I do?" ”

Zhao Deyan thought about it for a while: "Great Khan, we can't wait any longer, since they don't come, then let's go, otherwise it will be delayed any longer." The team behind the opponent is close, and even if we can destroy one of the opponent's troops, we can only quickly escape, otherwise we may fall into the encirclement of the opponent. ”

"Okay, that's exactly what Ben Khan wanted." Jieli laughed and raised the scimitar in his hand: "Descendants of the Celestial Wolf God, pick up your scimitar. Kill all the Sui people who invaded our land! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! A thousand Turkic horsemen followed their khan-like example and brandished their scimitars and roared. After roaring, he led the horse out of the hiding place and slowly approached in the direction of the Sui army.

On the hillside, Han Shi asked a little uneasily, "Cousin." What if you misjudge and there are no Turks at all, and what if the Turks don't come? ”

You must know that Li Jing has already sent a messenger first, and if other teams rush over and do not see the Turks, it is tantamount to lying about the military situation, and the seriousness of the consequences is beyond doubt.

"How can there be so many why?" Li Jing's face was calm, without any panic. Suddenly, his face changed, and he looked into the sky: "It's here, let's hurry up and eat, otherwise it's too late if you don't eat." ”

Han Shi also looked up at the sky, and the small black dot he had seen before was hovering in the sky again, and his heart was relieved, and then he became angry, and took out a long arrow from his waist: "Animal, General Ben shot you down today." ”

Li Jing pressed his hand on the bow and arrow in Han Shi's hand: "Forget it, don't waste your strength." Save the strength for later. ”

The harrier eagle has always been cautious by nature, and it is even more so if it is eaten and raised, if there are few people, it can also be booby-trapped, and when there are many people, in order to guard against bows and arrows, the harrier eagle will not reduce its height at all except in the face of the master, looking at the small black dots in the sky, Han Shi is also deflated, if you don't see carefully, you can't see clearly, how can you shoot it. I just grabbed a piece of freshly cooked mutton, took a big bite of it, and after a while, my mouth was full of oil.

Not long after the Sui army had eaten and drunk, a black line appeared on the desert in the distance, and then the black line brought up a large cloud of sand and dust. Rushing towards the hill of the Sui army like an arrow. At the same time, the Turkic mouth sounded a hoc. Since the two sides entered the line of sight, there was no need to hide, and the Turks turned over their horses as fast as they could, raised the weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the Sui army in the desert.

When the Turks had just come out, Li Jing had already discovered it, and then passed down his order: "Prepare the shield!" ”

"Shield ready!"

"Shield ready!" The Sui army showed his shield, and an iron wall was suddenly erected in front of the entire hillside.

"Archer prepare!"

"Archer prepare!" With the sound of a blow, the heavily armored archer entered the passage left by the shieldholder, crouched down in front of him, and began to bend his bow and arrows.

The Turks came very quickly, from the appearance to the rush to the foot of the hillside where the Sui army was located was almost a short moment, but when they saw the scene in front of them, they were stunned, and they couldn't help but stop their horses, and for a while, people neighed on their horses, and the originally neat formation was slightly chaotic.

They thought that the Sui army was lighting a fire and cooking, and they could kill the other party by surprise only by quietly approaching, but they didn't expect that the other party not only occupied the favorable terrain, but also seemed to have arranged the mountain into a copper wall and iron wall, if they rushed up like this, it would be tantamount to death, but fortunately, they were all superb in riding, and they had just stopped outside the 100-meter line from the Sui army.

So the Turks are looking at their khans, do they want to annihilate each other in this case?

Several black lines appeared on Jieli's face, damn it, the other party was so vigilant, if it was a strong attack, even if it was attacked, it was estimated that the loss would not be light, if it was not attacked, it was really unwilling, not to mention missing this time, it would be even more difficult to ambush the Sui army next time. Jieli's eyes couldn't help but look at Zhao Deyan.

Zhao Deyan smiled bitterly: "Great Khan, there is no chance, retreat." ”

Jieli's face was full of unwillingness, he couldn't wait to rush up with his horse and smash this team of Sui soldiers into pieces, but reason told him that Zhao Deyan's words were right, and he couldn't help but struggle in his heart.

Han Shi on the mountain became excited, although there are not many Turks from the land, only about a thousand people, but with the superb riding skills of the generals under the mountain, the ability to stop when they say, this Turkic army is undoubtedly the elite, and sure enough, he caught a big fish, he can't wait for the Turks to attack him immediately, as long as they are dragged for an hour, this fish will not be able to go if they want to.

Before Jieli could speak, a golden wolf rider beside him became angry: "Great Khan, rush, the Han people are cowardly and unbelievable, only if they break through their turtle shells, they will let us slaughter." ”

Zhao Deyan was not angry at the Golden Wolf Rider's words to belittle him, and said calmly: "Great Khan, we have lost the opportunity, even if we break through their formation, how many people does the Great Khan hope to lose, three hundred or five hundred?" ”

Mo said that it was three hundred and five hundred, even if it was a hundred people, he was reluctant to lose, but he was really unwilling to leave without firing an arrow, he waved his hand: "Send out a squad and try to rub their combat strength." ”

"Yes." The golden wolf rider who spoke just now whistled in his mouth, and nine Turks followed him and rushed towards the Sui army on the mountain together, but they did not use a straight line distance, but left and right, showing their riding skills, and a small team of men and horses seemed to have the momentum of thousands of troops.

The Sui army on the mountain stared closely at the Turkic people rushing over, silently calculating the distance, to be honest, since they came into the steppe, although they have made the most contributions, but they have not gone through any major battles, in order to train elite soldiers, Jieli will most of the East Turkic land elite men are evacuated, the Sui army swept all the way, encountered all the old, weak, sick and disabled in the East Turkic land, plus they are far better than the Turkic weapons, a total of thousands of people were captured, and the whole team was only dozens of wounded.

However, they did not face the elite of the Turks, the battle of Mayi, the Turkic trapped beasts still shocked them, but, fortunately, they all died, and those who did not die also became slaves to build canals, and the dead or captured Turks naturally have no threat, and they can sweep away the remnants of the Eastern Turks to their heart's content.

It's just that this group of Turks is different from the past, as if they are more elite than the Turks in the First Battle of Mayi, and some soldiers are holding bows and arrows in their hands, and their palms are full of sweat.

"Put!"

Finally, when the arrows were released, the archers in front of them let go, and hundreds of sharp arrows shot at the Turks halfway up the mountainside, and the arrows were about to cover the Turks, but the rushing Turks turned their horses' heads, and all the arrows fell on the open ground.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! The Turks on horseback also took off their longbows, let go of the reins controlled by both hands, and controlled the horses with their legs alone, bending their bows and arrows to shoot at the Sui army.

"Shield!"

"Whoa." The human-tall shield shielded the archer, and the arrows were shot at the shield with a clanging sound, but one arrow still crossed the shield and hit the head of a Sui soldier, and the blood on the head of the Sui soldier gushed out and fell straight down.

Han Shi on the top of the mountain was so angry that his face was bright red, his hundred archers did not shoot one of the other party, but let the other party kill one of them, this loss was too big, he shouted: "Release!" ”

"Whew! Shout! Shout! "Another hundred sharp arrows flew down to the Turks, but the Turks taught the Sui army a good lesson, teaching them how to dodge the arrows, all the Turks turned their heads, and the ten Turkic wolves rode into a straight line, jumping out of the range where the sharp arrows fell, however, because the distance was too close, one of the Turks in front still received an arrow in his hand, and this arrow almost shot through the Turk's arm.

The Turk endured the pain and took the remaining nine people to go around the slope of the hill where the Sui army was stationed before returning, during which the Turks fired four arrows, the Sui army fired five arrows, three Sui soldiers were killed, two Sui soldiers were injured, but only four of the Turks were wounded, none of them were killed, and the two sides parted, but the Turks did not find any obvious loopholes in the Sui army's arrangement.

Seeing his subordinates come back, Jieli judged the situation and said hatefully: "Withdraw!" ”
