"The vanguard?"

"Yes, it must be the vanguard." "As you said, if the Tang army carries a large amount of baggage, it is absolutely impossible to rush to Yu Du Jun Mountain within a month, and the army that arrives must be the vanguard of the Tang army, and it can be concluded that this army... It's a lightly armed army! ”

In order to capture the Tang Dynasty one day, I don't know how many times I have studied the combat style of the Tang Army, in order to be able to use it when I meet the Tang Army head-on one day, and I am very lucky, the opportunity to fight has come!

An unnatural smile appeared on his face, a little terrifying in Knot's eyes.

The atmosphere in the camp was a little weird, one was the excitement that he was about to face the Tang Army and the ambition in his heart would be realized. The other was afraid of a head-on battle with the Tang army and was worried.

The two of them have different thoughts, and it is naturally a little awkward to be under the same tent. Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long, and the leaders of the various tribes came to the camp in turn to break the deadlock.

Desire Valley held a meeting of tribal leaders, asking each tribe to gather their troops, quickly march to the mountain range of Yu Dujun, explore the position of the Tang army, and strive to defeat the vanguard of the Tang army before the main force of the Tang army arrives, and frustrate the spirit of the Tang army, so as to occupy the advantage in the later war, so as to achieve the goal of occupying the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate!

That night, West. Suddenly. The battalion sent more than a dozen scouts to Yu Du Jun Mountain to explore the location of the Tang army. At the same time, the heralds were sent to gather the soldiers who were wandering and patrolling outside, and prepared to gather in one place and take the initiative to attack.

The Knotted Khan, who didn't want to meet the Tang army so soon, had no choice but to follow the large army and lead his people to follow the west. Suddenly. Acting together.

At noon the next day, West. Suddenly. Almost all the tribes outside the country returned, and the collected troops numbered more than 90,000 people, divided into three directions, 30,000 people in each direction, and marched towards the Yu Du Army Mountain Range.

West. Suddenly. Such a big move naturally couldn't hide the scouts of the Tang Army.

The day after the action of the Western Turkic army, the scouts of the two sides met on the steppe, and the two sides fired several rounds at a distance, without much confrontation, each fearing that reinforcements might arrive behind the other at any time, and retreated.

An hour later, the scouts of the Tang army changed direction and risked their lives to advance fifty miles westward, and the grassland was still endless and not a single figure was to be seen.

I thought there was no situation and planned to evacuate, but suddenly a horse under the crotch of a scout let out an uneasy neigh, and the horse was cramped and uneasy, scurrying around, as if trying to escape from here.

Then, the horses of the other men were in the same situation, and the scouts looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's the situation? Why are the horses so upset? What's up ahead? ”

An older scout's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Not good! He quickly turned over and dismounted, and listened with his ears on the ground for a moment, and then his face turned pale.

"Not good! The horses' hooves are like thunder, and a large number of enemies are gathering here, hurry up and report to the general! ”

Several other scouts didn't believe it, and they also dismounted, their ears attached to the ground to listen, and then, one by one, their faces changed greatly, and the rumbling sound under the ground was too loud, definitely not an ordinary army, the number of people... At least more than 30,000!

"Quick! A few of you will go back to report to the general at once, and you will come with me to the higher ground to see what is going on! The older scout hurriedly gave the order.

The people who received the order immediately took action, a few people quickly got on their horses, turned their horses and went back to report them, while the others headed towards a small hill a hundred meters away.

Walking to the hill, they saw the dust raised in the distance, and the small black dots representing the figures.

"That's a lot! I'm afraid there are twenty or thirty thousand! Someone whispered, and his tone was slightly unnatural.

"Afraid of what? There are still ten miles away from us, what is there to be afraid of, all dismount, point out the number of people on the other side, quickly! Move fast! ”

The captain dismounted first, lay down on the peak, and then took out a long cylinder, put it in front of his eyes, and observed the number of enemies through the long cylinder.

This is Chen Fei's latest invention of the telescope, and it is also the first time it has been unveiled in war.

In fact, if you have mastered the technology of making glass, you can use concave and convex mirrors to make a simple telescope, although the magnification is limited, but it is definitely much clearer than the naked eye.

The rest of the scouts also quickly dismounted and took out their binoculars to observe. Moments later, the enemy was within three miles of them.

"About 30,000 people. Brothers, withdraw! "Having figured out the approximate number of the enemy, the scouts hurried back to report.

Half an hour later, at the foot of a certain direction of the Yu Governor's Mountain Range, the Tang Army's vanguard camp.

At this moment, the figures of the camp are flickering, and the camp is busy.

The scout's information had been sent back, and what made Hou Junji and Ma Yuan look ugly was that there were not a large number of enemies in one direction, but enemies in three directions, and the number was about 30,000.

In other words, their 10,000 pioneers, plus Ma Yuan's 5,000 light cavalry, were surrounded by the other party!

15,000 against 90,000 enemies....... Hou Junji's cheeks twitched slightly.

There are no walls here, and there are no natural dangers to defend, and the cavalry of the enemy on the steppe is absolutely overwhelming when the disparity between the enemy and us is so great.

What makes people vomit blood is that even if they want to evacuate now, it's too late, half of their subordinates are infantry, how can they outrun the tens of thousands of cavalry of the other side?

It's not fighting, it's not withdrawing, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji has never encountered such an embarrassing situation!

"Damn it! West. Suddenly. How did you know we were here? Could it be that there is a spy among us? Hou Junji scolded hatefully.

Ma Yuan also stomped his feet in a hurry: "General Hou, now is not the time to dwell on this, the plan now is to find a way to resist the west. Suddenly. Otherwise, our 15,000 soldiers and horses would have been lost here. ”

"Damn, since you can't escape, let's fight!" A fierce light flashed in Hou Junji's eyes, and he ordered loudly to the subordinates behind him: "Everyone go up the mountain, let me stay in the earthen fort on the mountain, and transport all bows and arrows, thunderbolts, and dry food into it." Horses... Damn it, Ma Yuan, you take your light horsemen and take away all our horses, and there is no place for them, and they must not be left to the enemy, and you can take as much as you can! Fast! ”

"General, we already have few people, if I leave with people, wouldn't it be even more disadvantageous?"

"The earthen fort can only accommodate more than 10,000 people, and it can't accommodate more, so you better leave quickly and send someone to report to General Li, hoping that they can come to the rescue in time! Fast! ”

Ma Yuan looked at the earthen fort on the mountain, gritted his teeth with hatred, and ordered behind him: "Someone! Hurry up and get the horses, and we'll get out! ”

Before leaving, Ma Yuan had red eyes and saluted Hou Junji, "General!" Take care! Waiting for me to bring someone back! ”

"Well, take care!"

Ma Yuan gritted his teeth and patted his horse away, the 5,000 cavalry of the Beiting Protectorate evacuated with all the horses, and the 10,000 pioneers of Hou Junji had already been stationed in the earthen fort, making preliminary fortifications, and waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Ten thousand against ninety thousand, the sky... Suddenly gloomy!
