In just five days, the soldiers and horses of the Tiele tribe were gathered. Including the previous captives, the men and horses summoned by each Tiele Department ranged from as little as 3,000 to as many as seven or eight thousand, a total of nearly 40,000 horses and horses gathered together at the location of Xue Shao's Chinese army, and the grain and grass were piled up like a mountain, especially abundant.

The grassland is vast, and it can be seen from the speed of the gathering of soldiers and horses that the intention of the Tiele people to surrender to the Tang Dynasty can be described as "returning to the heart like an arrow". Everyone scrambled to be the first, for fear that Xue Shao would question their insincerity if they were one step slower, and they could already think of this consequence with their toes - the original prestige was as high as Ashdwin Fu's father and son, but they had all become dry bones in the grave. The army is as powerful as the Turkic tribes, and now it is the turtle in the urn of the capital mountain.

To put it nicely, Tiele people are obedient to the heavens, and they know the times as handsome; To put it mildly, they are a group of grasses on the wall, accustomed to the business of making the rudder fish in the muddy water when the wind blows.

Xue Shao sent Xue Chuyu as the commander of the Tiele coalition army, and led the 40,000 horses to Yudu Jinshan to help Cheng Wuting. Of course, Xue Chuyu's pro-xun jumping army has become the core force of this group of people. At the temporary time, Xue Shao whispered to Xue Chuyu for a while, explained him some detailed rules for using troops and asked him to convey them to Cheng Wuting, in the final analysis, there is only one - be sure to let the Tiele coalition army and the Turks fight as hard as possible!

The Tiele people are anxious to make a name for themselves, which is their current state of mind; The Turks must have been particularly annoyed when they saw the anti-water Tieler. As long as the Tang army provokes a little in the middle, it is easy for the two sides to kill each other. At the same time, in the name of Cheng Wuting, Xue Shao sent a letter of invitation to the army of Xue Yantuo, who was heading south from the north, and started a battle against the Turks at the appointed time.

The Xue Yantuo tribe is a relatively powerful nomadic tribe in the north of the desert, and it also belongs to one of the nine Tiele tribes, and it has also belonged to the Tang Dynasty before. Now they are going south under the banner of counterinsurgency for the Tang Dynasty, and they can barely be regarded as famous. But Xue Yantuo's intention is that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, and he just wants to take advantage of the defeat between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and then he will reap the profits to strengthen himself, and finally want to become the overlord of the grassland.

Xue Shao has pinpointed Xue Yantuo's pulse, and now he has a big problem. If Xue Yantuo went to war at the appointment, then they would be the heroes of the Tang Dynasty to quell the rebellion, but such a battle would not only fail to achieve the goal of hegemony by reaping the benefits, but would also inevitably cause them to lose their troops.

On the contrary, if Xue Yantuo refuses to fight or does not contribute to the work, Cheng Wuting, who is supervising the battle in the front, sees it in his eyes, and can characterize them as "robbing while the fire is hot" on the spot. At that time, there is no need for Datang to make a move, and the angry Turks will not be able to spare Xue Yantuo, a "good neighbor" who has fallen into the ground.

Of course, there is the worst outcome, that is, Xue Yantuo and the Turks join forces to fight against the Tang Dynasty. Xue Shao felt that this possibility was extremely low, unless Xue Yantuo's people were stupid enough to think with their butts, they would definitely not jump into the fire pit with the corpses of the Turks like martyrs.

- Even if it is, Datang doesn't mind adding another 30,000 corpses of rebels to his encirclement!

Everything is ready, the army is out!

Xue Shao stood on top of the high arrow tower and watched Xue Chuyu lead the army away.

Thousands of troops and horses, yellow sand all over the sky; Towering like a mountain, majestic like the sea!

Xue Shao finally realized the pressure and responsibility of a military commander, as well as the indescribable majesty and pleasure brought by power.

Suddenly the halberd was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed! …… The words of the unreliable god stick Li Xianyuan suddenly appeared in Xue Shao's mind.

- Is this what you are looking for?!

……

Three days later, at dawn, the battle of Yudu Jinshan began!

The Tang army, which had been resting and recuperating for several days, was full of morale. These days, the Turkic rebels who have fallen into the siege are like trapped beasts, and they are nervous and panicked all day long, although they are still grinning, but their morale has long been weakened, and the internal discord has become even worse, and some soldiers have even sneaked out of the camp to join Cheng Wuting's command.

As Xue Shao expected, the Turks, who had experienced a series of drastic changes and protracted civil wars, were completely exhausted after being besieged by the Tang army for several days.

Under the command of Cheng Wuting, the Jumping Army led by Xue Chuyu and the Tiele Coalition Army acted as the vanguard of breaking the enemy and launched a surprise attack at night.

The Turks are not defenseless, on the contrary, they have always been on guard. It's just that they have been guarding to the death, but the Tang army just doesn't come to attack, and after a long time, they will inevitably be tired and slack. Cheng Wuting, an experienced battlefield veteran, captured such a fighter.

With an order, Xue Chuyu took the lead like a god descending from the earth, and was the first to enter the camp of Yu Du Jinshan.

At the same time, in the six Tang Army camps fortified on the periphery, countless snare drums and horns sounded together.

The whole Yudu Jinshan seems to tremble!

Turks, the soul is scattered!

Xue Chuyu's department had tens of thousands of horses, and they smashed into the camp of the Turks like mercury, and they couldn't be guarded against. Their first tactic was to destroy the deer and the barracks, uproot the archers in the arrow towers and armies, and set fire to create chaos. Coupled with the sound of loud drums and horns, the military orders of the Turks were completely impassable. For a time, the Turks, who were entrenched in the territory of the capital in the mountains of Baili, fell into great confusion, fought separately in panic, and fled in all directions in a panic.

The defeat was like a mountain, and Yudu Jinshan turned into a Shura hell filled with blood and fire!

Hearing the sound of battle in Yudu Jinshan, the cunning Xue Yantuo people immediately prepared for battle. However, they did not enter the battle until an hour or two after the battle began.

In their own words, even the weakest beast can burst out with cannibalistic strength when it is hunted, especially when it has just seen blood. At that time, they chose the time when the blood of the Turkic rebels was about to run out, and "heroically" joined the counterinsurgency battle of the Tang Dynasty.

But when they joined the war, they found out that the hunter of the Tang Dynasty was still one step higher than them, and the main force of the Tang army was not dispatched at all, and only a small part of the Tang army and tens of thousands of Tiele people were fighting in Dujinshan!

There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and the Xue Yantuo people can only "quell the rebellion to the end", and the Turks are really swordsmen and guns!

Cheng Wuting, who was in command, received a report from the scouts on the battlefield, and he laughed at the case!

"Xue Changshi used soldiers like divine help, Xue Yantuo, the cunning fox, really came out to grab the meat and eat it!"

After this shout, Cheng Wuting suddenly strode out of the tent, personally picked up the sledgehammer and slammed the snare drum. The high-spirited and fierce drum beat made all the Tang Army soldiers present enthusiastic!

This is the most famous military music in the Tang Dynasty, but after the victory of the war, it will inevitably be played "King Qin Breaking Array Music!" 》

Today, Cheng Wuting personally beat the drum and played it in advance!

The generals clenched their fists together and screamed—

"General Evil, I'll wait for the war!"

"It's time for these Hu people to see the military might of the Tang Dynasty!"

"I've been waiting for thousands of brothers, it's too long to wait for this day!"

"For all the compatriots who died - avenge the hatred!"

……

Cheng Wuting was unmoved, beating the drum like crazy, sweating like rain and his whole body was warm!

Simply, he took off his military uniform and beat the drum bare-chested until he finished playing the song "King Qin's Breaking Array Music"!

His eyes were red and tears were raining down!

"My bloody brothers who died, today, Cheng is going to avenge you!" Cheng Wuting raised his arms and looked in the direction of Shuozhou, "Brothers, you are in the spirit of heaven - rest in peace!" ”

Many Tang soldiers present burst into tears together.

In the battle of Shuozhou that day, Cheng Wuting led 12,500 elite cavalry under his command for many years, and only 800 remnants died. Those who survive are dripping blood in their hearts all the time, and they are thinking about revenge all the time!

"Vengeance, brothers in the spirit of heaven - please rest in peace!" All the Tang generals knelt down together.

"All the soldiers obey the order!!" Cheng Wu was very high-spirited, and his eyes were round, and his voice was like thunder!

"Fight to the death!!" All the officers and men of the Tang Army, hoarse and enthusiastic.

"The whole army - attack!" Cheng Wuting threw the two big drum hammers to the ground heavily, "Revenge - snow hatred!" ”

……

In the Chinese army camp a hundred miles away, Xue Shao stood on top of the high arrow tower, staring at the northern horizon for a long time.

At this time, Xue Shao would rather fight desperately in the blood, fire, rivers and mountains in front of him than wait for the results of the war here in silence.

As a commander, you have to endure the confusion and pressure that ordinary people can't understand, as well as this kind of soul-devouring waiting and suffering.

Wu Ming carried some food up to the arrow tower, "Childe, it's time to eat." ”

Xue Shao waved his hand, "Wait a minute, I'm not hungry yet." ”

Wu Ming turned his head to see that the food delivered at noon was still put aside without moving, and Xue Shao also said that he would wait a while and not be hungry.

Wu Ming didn't say much, he still put the food aside, and then stood quietly behind Xue Shao.

"Wu Ming, you say, when will there be news of the former army?" Xue Shao asked suddenly.

Wu Ming thought for a moment and replied: "Calculate the time, it should be soon." ”

Xue Shao let out a long sullen breath.

"Childe is worried about winning or losing?" Wu Ming asked.

Xue Shao's eyebrows tightened and he shook his head.

"What's that boy's concern?"

Xue Shao said: "Judging the situation, our army has a great chance of winning. Moreover, I am full of confidence in Cheng Wuting and Xue Chuyu. My only fear is that after this war, there will be a lot of grievances and hatred on the grasslands. The fact that the imperial court will be so appeased and disposed of after the war is far more important than the war in front of it. ”

Wu Ming was slightly stunned in surprise, and then smiled slightly, "It is not easy for Gongzi to transcend the war and think deeply at such a moment of stalemate and tension. Childe, maybe you were born to be a commander! ”

Inborn?

The corners of Xue Shao's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a wry smile that only he could understand, thinking, if I had a choice, I would rather never touch any sword in my life and not get any blood.

- Fate won't give me a chance to choose, so I can only carry a butcher knife and challenge him!

Even if I die in battle, it's better than falling to my knees and having my head cut off!
