The prairie of northern Xinjiang, because the terrain is flat, and there is no obstruction of high mountains and other terrain, every autumn ten, as the weather gradually becomes colder, it is also the time when the rainy season comes, although it is not like the summer general, the torrential rain is like a note, but the rain is continuous, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Originally, this was the most unsuitable time for the army to conquer, because of the continuous drizzle, the originally solid and hard ground was soaked like a mud pond, not to mention people, even if the war horse walked here, it would fall into half a horse's leg at once.

"Da ......."

There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and I saw a fast horse galloping from a short distance, although the ground was still slippery, judging from his skillful movements, this was definitely a knight with great horsemanship.

"Smack.......

Before the horse could stop, the knight on the horse jumped down quickly, and when he landed, he was so strong that half of his foot fell into the mud puddle, but he didn't care, and quickly thought about the big tent not far away.

By the door of the tent, a wooden pole more than a man tall was erected, and on the top of the pole hung what looked like the tail of some animal.

If you are familiar with the Turks, you will know that this is the wolf tail flag, which is the symbol of the Turkic Great Khan, and the role is the same as that of the Han people, which is something that represents authority.

From this, it can be seen that the people in this big tent are definitely extremely important figures in the entire Turkic region, and now, the only Turkic minister who can appear here is to track down the murdered Ashi Yuanzhen of more than 100,000 Turkic people.

"My lord, I found it, our spies have finally found the enemy thirty miles away."

Immediately the knight broke into the tent, and walked quickly to the middle of the tent, and without any concern for the muddy water on his feet, stained the carpet of the finest wool that had been laid out in the tent.

"Whew.......... Found it, good, great. ”

Hearing the knight's announcement, Asted Yuanzhen stood up from the chair excitedly.

With an army of 50,000, it has been nearly a month since he went south, and it seems that he is about to enter winter, but he has not found those who have killed his own people, even with the patience of Ashid Yuanzhen, he is also a little impetuous, not to mention, the rain in the past few days has made the Turkic elite under his command even more exhausted, if it were not for the revenge heart to support it, I am afraid that they would have been discouraged long ago.

How could he not be thrilled that he had finally found the enemy today.

"Thirty miles away, what is that?"

Although excited, Ashide Yuanzhen did not lose his mind and asked.

"My lord, thirty miles away is the Snake Valley, although the terrain is narrow, but because of the shelter of the mountains, the rain is not big, it is a good place to shelter from the rain, maybe the other party will camp here because of this."

"Snake Valley, Ha..... Hahaha, God help me, originally I was still worried about how to annihilate them, since they hid in the Snake Valley, it was a great opportunity given to us by the Immortal Heaven, a great opportunity to annihilate them all in one fell swoop. ”

When Ashide Yuanzhen heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

For the Snake Valley, Ashid Yuanzhen still understands, the reason why the Snake Valley is called the Snake Valley, not because it is all snakes, on the contrary, there are no snakes in it, the reason why it is called the Snake Valley, is because the road in and out of the valley is crooked, just like a big snake, and over time, people will call it the Snake Valley.

Although the Snake Valley is a little higher, it is a narrow place, and there has always been only one way in and out of the Snake Valley, which can be described as easy to attack and difficult to defend.

"Who is the other party, you can find out."

"This ...... In order to avoid startling the snakes, our spies did not dare to get too close to them, but judging from their clothing, they looked like Khitans. ”

"Hmm..... Khitans, no wonder, no wonder, I'll say what people dare to attack our people so boldly, it turned out to be these damn Khitans, it seems that with the support of the Tang people over the years, this despicable tribe has been arrogant to the point of emboldenedness, and even we Turks don't even put it in their eyes, okay, great, in this case, this time I will let them know what it costs to offend our Turks, and wait until we conquer the Tiele tribes, the Khitans will be our next opponent. ”

Ashide Yuanzhen said with a hideous face.

It's no wonder that Ashid Yuanzhen is so angry, although the Khitan people were powerful in the later period, and even suppressed the Northern Song Dynasty for a hundred and ten years to go north, but at this time, for the steppe people, the Khitan people are a grass-like tribe, whether it is the Turks or the Tiele tribes did not put him in their eyes, and now this villain who has not been put in his eyes at all dares to treat himself like this, just like a lowly slave, taking advantage of the rich master's absence at home, breaking into the rich man's home to snatch the treasure, also killed the rich man's family, this mood can make Ashid Yuanzhen not feel angry.

"Come, send the order, gather the army immediately, tonight I will attack the Snake Valley, kill all those damned Khitan dog thieves, and avenge the Turkic people who died in vain."

"Subordinates receive orders ......."

With the order of Ashid Yuanzhen, tens of thousands of Turkic army camps suddenly panicked.

........................

"How's it going, are you all ready?"

Standing at the top of the Snake Valley, looking at the many Khitan soldiers running back and forth below, Duan Jian asked.

"Returning to Lord Duan's words, I have made all preparations according to my lord's orders, and I promise not to let a Turkic dog out of the Snake Valley alive tonight."

The person who answered Duan Jian's words was none other than the commander of the 50,000 Khitan army who followed Duan Jian this time, and the patriarch of the Duhuo tribe, one of the eight major Khitan tribes.

Just as the steppe people don't like the Khitans, the Khitans also have extreme hatred for these steppe people, especially the Turkic people who once dominated the steppe and enslaved the Khitans for more than 100 years, and they are the objects of resentment of the Khitans.

It is as if the Japanese were in later generations, for thousands of years, because of the strength of China, they have always had great respect for China, and they have always been extremely respectful in the face of the Chinese dynasty, but in later generations, when China fell into decline and the Japanese rose, they would turn this respect into hatred and revenge.

Although this massacre of the Turkic tribes was indeed Duan Jian's order at the beginning, this kind of order has become a means for the Khitan army to show its true nature.

Hearing Duhuo's answer, Duan Jian nodded.

Duan Jian is the most clear about Ashide Yuanzhen leading 50,000 elite Turkic troops south to find his group, and even, all the actions of the Turkic army during this period were clearly understood by Duan Jian, and as time went by, after more than a month of consumption, Duan Jian knew that the opportunity to completely defeat this Turkic army had come.

Therefore, the discovery of the Snake Valley by the Turkic spies this time was deliberately done by Duan Jian, and this Snake Valley, which seems to be easy to attack and difficult to defend, is also the battlefield that Duan Jian chose for himself, and it is also the place of burial chosen for this Turkic army.

............................

The night is like a mule

In the future, the scene of the lights is particularly attractive, but at this time, especially in this silent prairie, it is particularly bleak.

"Tick, tick, tick........"

I don't know when, the rain that seems to be like a needle tip began to fall again, although the rain is not big, and there is no feeling on the face, but the wet feeling makes people feel particularly uncomfortable, especially for these Turkic warriors wearing leather armor, the rain hits the body, so that the original hard leather armor gradually becomes soft, at the same time, the gradually soaked clothes, also make their bodies gradually become cold, helpless, many Turkic warriors have to drink strong wine, While galloping forward with his war horse.

Of course, the rain is not useless, at least at this time, so that the sound of horses' hooves, which should be extremely loud, is completely hidden, and the sparse mud ground, although the war horses cannot gallop quickly, does not start the deafening sound of the past.

"My lord, I'm afraid it won't be too easy to fight tonight."

Beside Ashide Yuanzhen, a Turkic general's face was also like tonight's weather, and he said extremely gloomy.

"I know that the continuous rain has made our warriors' physical strength consumed very quickly, and at the same time, our most proficient bows and crossbows cannot be used, for our Turkic elite, it is like missing an arm, if the opposite is the enemy who is proficient in foot combat and defense in the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely not attack today, but don't forget, the opposite side is the same grassland peoples as us, and they are also best at cavalry and bows and crossbows, so that in fact, our combat effectiveness is the same as theirs, In addition to the fact that we launched a sudden attack, under the surprise attack, even if they are not scattered, they will be extremely chaotic, which gives us an extremely powerful opportunity, as long as we maneuver well, it is not extremely difficult for us to eliminate this Khitan dog thief in one fell swoop and avenge the dead clansmen. ”

Asted Yuanzhen explained.

Although he explained it like this, he was still a little worried in his heart, but because of the current situation faced by the Turks, he had to do so, on the surface, the Turks are currently extremely brilliant, expelled the Anbei Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, conquered countless tribes and tribes, and are currently fighting another overlord on the grassland, and the Tiele tribes are powerless to resist, but only the high-level Ashina Guduolu and Ashde Yuanzhen and others know.

The Turks are also extremely dangerous at present, from the beginning of the Ashina Guduolu Army, it is less than ten years, the entire Turks in this ten years, basically every year is fighting, although each battle is the Turks to win, but countless Turkic men in these battles, fell to the ground, you know, the population no matter where it is, is the most precious wealth, and the population is not like grass, cut a stubble and can grow again in the second year, a qualified warrior, At the very least, it takes nearly twenty years of cultivation to form, and in this case, the death of every Turkic warrior is a small disaster for the Turks.

If this is the case, it is also worth sacrificing some warriors in exchange for the rise of the Great Turks, but can the Turks really rise here, although from the current point of view, there is no opponent who can compete with the Turks in the entire steppe, but don't forget that there is also a huge behemoth in the south of the Turks, which makes all countries and tribes feel that they can't look at it directly, the Tang Dynasty.

At present, it seems that Datang can't take care of it because of the infighting, but one day, Datang's infighting will end, no one is sure, when that day will come, it may be ten years, a hundred years later, or tomorrow, or the next month, in this case, if the Datang infighting is over, and the Turks have not yet achieved a thorough passage through the northern Xinjiang grassland, then the rise of the Turks will become a dream, a dream that can never be realized.

Under such circumstances, the helpless Ashina Guduolu decided to make such a big gamble, at an inappropriate time, lightly raise the country's troops, attack the powerful Tiele tribes, it seems that this is a huge mobilization of the Turks, who would have thought that this is actually a kind of self-harm that the Turks have to make in order to save themselves.

Fortunately, from the beginning of the army, the progress has been extremely smooth, although up to now, the army has still not wiped out all the Tiele tribes, and even now it is still blocked from Lushan City, but Ashide Yuanzhen knows that it is a matter of time before the army captures Lushan City, and if Lushan City is captured, then the demise of the Tiele tribes is also irresistible.

Of course, it is not without the possibility of failure, because of their own reasons, the Turkic army can not capture Lushan City, although this is only a possibility, but Ashide Yuanzhen knows that in the war, as long as there is no time when the dust settles, any possibility exists, and the thing of salted fish turning over is not unhappened, so in order to help the army capture Lushan City as soon as possible, he can only exterminate these thieves in front of him as soon as possible, so as to lead the army to return to the front line as soon as possible.

"Pass the order, the whole army speed up, strive to move the snake valley within half an hour, in addition, order the friction, lead three hundred scouts, pull out all the enemy's spies, and never leak the intelligence of the army."

"Subordinates take orders."
