Chapter 57: Lurking

In the city of Pinggao County, Sha Boluo was already so angry that he jumped to his feet, and the scattered Turkic armies had converged to Pinggao County, and each of their teams captured one or two cities, and grabbed a lot of money, but by the stubborn resistance of the state soldiers in various parts of the Great Zhou, there were more or less losses, plus the Turks who died in Pinggao County, the 80,000 Turkic army had dropped to less than 70,000.

These 70,000 people should leave at least 10,000 people to guard Pinggao County, in case the back road is cut off by the Zhou army, and this can also be used as a storage place for them to grab wealth, if only 60,000 people run to Chang'an City, the strength is inevitably a little thin, Sha Boluo is desperate to hope that the 20,000 horses and horses that Ye Hu Luo Qi attacked Pule County can join him, but Luo Qi can't take Pule County for a long time, so let him wait and wait.

When it was once again confirmed that Luo Qi had not yet taken Pule County, Sha Boluo couldn't help but scold: "Damn, this bastard of Luo Li, I gave him 20,000 people, and it has been half a month, and he can't even take a small Pule County, if this expedition is delayed, I have to suggest to the Great Khan that he be removed." "If Sha Boluo knew that there were only 15,000 of the 20,000 horses left, I was afraid that he would be even more angry.

The official rank of the Turks is divided into twenty-eight levels, the Khan has the most respectful status, and there are official positions such as the Little Khan, Ye Hu, She, Special Service, Tong Lifa, Tong Jin, Tutun, Fa, etc., Ye Hu's status is only slightly lower than that of Sha Bo, although Sha Bo is a small Khan, but he has no right to dispose of Luo Li, otherwise Sha Bo Luo will probably directly send someone to take over Luo Li's military power.

A nobleman suggested: "The sand bowl is slightly sweaty, and the people of the Great Zhou are as timid as rats, so it is better to wait for Luo Qiye Hu, and the 60,000 troops will be killed directly under the city of Chang'an." ”

The rest of the Turkic generals also shouted: "Little Khan, give an order, don't say 60,000, even 30,000 can scare the Great Zhou people to death." ”

Sha Bo was slightly silent, this time to sweep the border of the Great Zhou, although some cities surrendered without a fight, but there were more cities to resist, especially in this city, the people who attacked the city died in a sea of corpses and blood, only to take it down, and as a result, the guards escaped, although the Great Zhou seemed to be weak and deceitful, and agreed to his own conditions, but he really wanted to go to Chang'an City, in case the Great Zhou did not give in, and chose to fight, one more person would be more sure, not to mention the 20,000 army.

An Suijia has returned from Chang'an, and said next to him: "Little Khan, there are nearly one million people in Chang'an, nearly 100,000 soldiers, and there are many good ministers and generals in the Great Zhou, if they are surrounded, the whole army will be in danger, anyway, the purpose of the little Khan has been achieved, it is better to wait here for the Zhou people to send tribute." ”

He has been to Chang'an, although he was unceremonious to the monarchs and ministers of the Great Zhou in the court, in fact, deep down he was also shocked by the strength of the Great Zhou, but he was the one who did not want to take risks.

Sha Bo nodded slightly: "An Suijia is familiar with the Zhou people, since he said so, then wait." ”

Sha Boluo usually seems to be reckless, but he is a shrewd person, as long as he returns to the grassland with the items paid by the Zhou people, his bargaining chips for the position of the Great Khan will be greatly increased, and he will be killed under the city of Chang'an, although it is possible to extort a little more property, and it will also make him famous, but it is unlikely to break through Chang'an, and it will not help him to ascend to the throne of the Khan.

Although many Turkic generals felt that Sha Bo was too cautious, no one dared to disobey his order: "Honorable order." ”

If Yang Tian and the Xuanlong Army knew what happened in Pinggao County, they would be greatly relieved at this time, the Turks had already given up their plans to kill under the city of Chang'an, and it could be said that they could complete the task without fighting the Turks.

But if it was if, it would be impossible for the Xuanlong Army to know what was happening in Pinggao County, let alone that hundreds of miles behind the Turks, there was a city in the Great Zhou that was desperately resisting the Turkic attack.

At this moment, the Xuanlong army has set up camp more than ten miles away from Liupan Mountain, the water surface here is wide, the water potential is stable, the water depth is just half of the horse's belly, it is the ideal place to cross the river, and there is a small mountain bag to block the view of the opposite side, the camp of the Xuanlong army is hidden behind the mountain bag, as long as the Turks do not pass the river, basically will not find.

It is convenient for the Xuanlong Army to send a small force to cross the river to reconnoitre, and there is no need to worry about being discovered by the Turks and will be attacked on a large scale, after all, the water surface is too wide, and it is not easy to cross the river.

Bai Fangquan's body was crouched in a shallow pit, his head was covered with thick grass, and his subordinates were lying on the left and right, forming a trap of the Triangle of Death, and in a farther place, there were twenty such traps of death, and Yang Tian sent sixty percent of his own soldiers to cross the river, the purpose was to capture a few Turkic scouts to ask for information.

The strength of the Xuanlong Army is very weak in front of the Turks, and there is no way to start without sufficient intelligence, this kind of infiltration is Yang Tian's personal training after they were selected into the pro-military camp, after countless infiltration and anti-infiltration exercises, now is the time to test their results.

The sound of horses' hooves came, after more than an hour of patient waiting, finally the Turks broke into the area where they were ambushed, although there are more than 20 miles away from Pinggao County, but the Turkic army of 70,000 can not all be crowded in the city, even if people can, their war horses must also be grazed outside, the south of Pinggao County to the Jing River between dozens of miles, is an ideal grazing place with abundant water and grass.

After all, this pasture is not too safe, and the Turkic scouts will often patrol ten miles away from the grazing site, but they have not even seen the shadow of a Zhou person for more than ten consecutive days, and the scouts have long regarded this kind of patrol as a play, and the two Turks only care about laughing with each other on the horse, nothing more than how much property they have robbed this time, and what kind of surprise their mother-in-law will have after they go back.

Hearing the sound of horse steps and the laughter of the Turks, Bai Fangquan's body tensed, and thankfully, the two fools were facing in his direction, he silently calculated the distance of the Turks, and aimed the well-wound crossbow arrows ahead, ten steps, nine steps, eight steps......

The Turkic horses had already entered his line of sight, and through the grass he could even see the Turks' legs shaking on their stomachs, and Bai Fangquan's crossbow arrows spared the people, but aimed at the Turks' horses, and as soon as his hand was released, the crossbow arrows had been fiercely inserted into the neck of the opponent's horse.
