Chiting Valley, Zhang Xiong looked at this dangerous terrain, and he already had a feeling of victory in his heart: this place is too dangerous and dangerous, and everything is completely for the sake of the barrier set up against the Tang Dynasty.

He was originally from the Central Plains, because his sister married into Gaochang and became the queen of Gaochang, showing great honors, and he also came to Gaochang to develop. For the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is not unfamiliar. He knew that the strength of the Tang Dynasty lay in all aspects. But the most critical points are generals, soldiers, and equipment.

The general is naturally a general, and the Central Plains has produced many capable people since ancient times. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and countless heroes emerged. It has only been more than ten years since the end of the turmoil, and the generals and veterans who pacified the world for the Tang Dynasty in the early years are still alive. All of them have experienced the baptism of the battlefield and experienced a hundred battles. Both intelligence and experience are top-notch.

Hou Junji, as the first general of the Tang Dynasty, is both wise and brave, and it is really difficult to find a character who can confront him in the Western Regions.

Zhang Xiong also has a certain degree of confidence in his resourcefulness, but he is not arrogant and thinks that he is comparable to Hou Junji. Facing such an adversary is the greatest pain.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are also amazing, that one by one, the division of tigers and wolves, can catch tigers on the mountain, catch Jiao in the sea, and they are full of glory of the Tang Dynasty, they are not afraid of death, and they are the most headache for every enemy. Needless to say, the Tang Dynasty's advanced science and technology and the world's highest smelting technology, their swords and ordinary armor are simply difficult to resist.

But because of this Chiting Valley, these advantages of the Tang Dynasty will disappear completely, there is only one dangerous road here, and there is no condition for the general to use the strategy to set up the formation, no matter how Hou Junji can get it, there will be nothing to be done in the face of this situation. The exit here is narrow and the valley is wide, which means that the Tang soldiers can only come out little by little, but the Tang soldiers who come out are facing enemies more than ten times their size. Even if the Tang soldiers are brave, they can't be outnumbered, and the weapons are also average, no matter how strong and sharp the armor of the Tang Dynasty is, what can be done in the face of the arrow feathers and fire oil on the head?

Under the advantage of geographical advantages, the advantages of the Tang Dynasty were completely restrained. The battle line is too long, and the shortcomings of inconvenient transportation are also magnified by a hundred times due to the geographical advantage.

The scale of victory, at the moment when he occupied Chiting Valley, had already tilted towards himself.

"Leader Mukun, park all the horses in the grass on the right side of the valley and keep them in captivity! They were not needed in this war, and some oil was to be prepared as much as possible to transport to the cliffs on both sides of the bank in case of emergency. In addition, the best archers of the 20,000 tribes are prepared, divided into two teams, left and right, ready to go up the cliff to fight left and right. ”

Originally, he also wanted the archers to be stationed directly on the cliff, but there was no shelter from the wind and snow on the cliff. Now it's winter, the cold is abnormal, and Hou Junji doesn't know when he will arrive, so letting them freeze on it will also affect their strength.

Zhang Xiong calmly and decisively commanded everything, deployed defenses, built barriers, and did everything very personally, and commanded everything properly.

Mu Kunkuo disdained Zhang Xiong, an old man who was powerless, but he did not dare to disobey the order of the khan, so he let his men listen to him and walk his horse by himself. This gave Zhang Xiong more room to play, allowing him to fully display his strengths and arrange the defense line according to his own ideas.

Cyanosis!

At this moment, Du He, Luo Tong, Liu Renliang and his entourage also got the movement of the Western Turks, and their expressions were greatly shocked. They saw the steepness of Chiting Valley with their own eyes, and knew that Chiting Valley was already related to the outcome of the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition, so they were anxious one after another.

"They didn't pay attention to us at all, and they transferred their soldiers and horses to Chiting Valley in the first place. It is obvious that we have realized that Chiting Valley is the key to determining the victory, the terrain there is dangerous, and even the chief Hou is difficult to break, we must find a way to solve the problem, otherwise everything will be over. Liu Renliang's face was serious, and the current situation was thought to be a critical one.

Luo Tong also said in a deep voice: "It's not just them, but also us. We only brought a month's worth of food and grass. It also means that if we don't fight with Mr. Hou in a month, and don't use them to do it, we will be doomed. But how could Chiting Valley be able to break through in a month? ”

"The matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to rely on President Hou. The situation they face is even more dire than ours. We can move freely, but they will be completely stuck in the Chiting Ancient Road, unable to move. It's how we should take back Chitei Valley and help him out, not how he comes to save us. Duhe did not show any anxiety, but calmly analyzed everything. He knew that the more critical the situation, the more important it was to remain calm and not chaotic.

"But we only have 6,000 soldiers and horses!" Fang Yiai doesn't like to use his brains, but he is not a fool, and he also knows the fate of resisting an army of 70,000 with 6,000. What's more, the opponent's strength is far more than 70,000, and there are follow-up troops that have not yet arrived.

Fang Yiai did not count Jiang Xingben's thousand engineers, those engineers had a hand in manufacturing equipment, but when they started a battle, they would only drag the horses backwards.

"Six thousand soldiers and horses are more than enough, and we also use borrowed soldiers to fight!" Liu Renliang held his chin in his hand, looked at Du He and said, "General, Yanqi is not far from Gaochang and is ruled by my Tang Dynasty." And at odds with Gao Chang, they also know the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and they should send troops to help. It's just that Yanqi is a small country in the Western Regions, and it would be very good to have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers. ”

Du Hexi said: "This is indeed a way, there are 20,000, and it is better than nothing!" The terrain of Chiting Valley is like a funnel, and it is not afraid of attacking from the inside out, but only from the outside to the inside. With 20,000 more soldiers and horses, we can attack at the right time with the chief Hou who is trapped in the Chiting Ancient Road, and we may be able to break the formation! He said lightly, but he also knew that the truth would not go so smoothly, the Western Turks had about 150,000 troops, and now they have only 70,000, and there are still 80,000 who have not yet arrived on the battlefield, and Gaochang also has 20,000 soldiers and horses available. When Liu Renliang borrowed soldiers and horses, the 80,000 troops of the Western Turks would basically arrive. The disparity in strength between the two sides is huge, and no one can be sure whether they can shake their army.

"That's it, Liu Changshi, you go to Yanqi, tell Yanqi Wang Chen that it is a good deal, and borrow troops from him. Here, I'm trying to figure it out on my own! Duhe made a decisive decision.

Liu Renliang was affectionate and serious, and said: "General rest assured, Renliang will definitely live up to his mission." Just wait for my good news. ”

Du He nodded, and also ordered ten guards to keep him safe.

Du He, Luo Tong, and Wang Dezheng are thinking of another way!

That night, Du He had no intention of sleeping, got up quietly, and said hello to Luo Tong that he would walk casually.

Leaving the camp, he was like a ghost in the night, galloping through the mountains and forests. The trees on the left and right are retreating with a bang, which shows how fast he is.

Since Du He comprehended the second layer of the "Five Qi Returns", the speed at which he performed light skills was no less than that of ordinary horses, and even the best horses were not fast enough for him to exert his full strength, but he could not maintain it for a long time.

More than an hour later, Du He quietly came to the outside of Chiting Valley, and saw that the enemy camp in the distance was brightly lit and the guards were strict, so he did not dare to continue to go deeper, but only used light skills to climb the cliff in a roundabout way. Come to a cliff and look around. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the surrounding mountains stretch out, the rock color is red like cinnabar, the strange peaks are everywhere, the vast and reckless under the morning mist, the scenery is uncertain, extremely strange. Below him was the vast camp of the Western Turks, which stretched for dozens of miles.

If you want to break the camp with weak soldiers, you must know the layout of the opponent's camp and the reality of the army, and then seize the opponent's weakness and hit it with a blow.

Du He looked intently at the cliff, carved the general distribution map of the Western Turk military camp in his mind, and saw that the tents in the Western Turk military camp were stacked and scattered; The patrol soldiers were full of spirit and order, and it was completely obvious that the person who set up the camp was indeed extraordinary, and he couldn't help but praise: "I can't imagine that the Turks also have such attainments in the layout of the military camp, it's amazing...... No......" He frowned slightly, also noticing something unusual. The furnishings of this camp are full of the compactness of the Central Plains, and it should not be from the hands of the Western Turks. There must be someone else who is superior, maybe even the one who saw through the plan may not be.

"I'm in trouble!"

Du He went down from high to bottom, his eyes patrolled back and forth throughout the camp, looking for flaws in the camp, and he couldn't help muttering when he saw such a layout.

Before the two armies fought, they usually chose a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a camp, which could be attacked and retreated, so as to make themselves an invincible enemy. In the long run, the people of the Central Plains have a certain experience in the layout of the camp. Therefore, their camps are relatively much more rigorous than those in other countries, and there are many fewer flaws.

The Western Turks come and go like the wind, and the purpose of this war is to win the war, and not to win the war. An overly rigorous camp will make them constrained and unable to retreat at the first time. In this case, the Western Turks were naturally not so particular about the camp.

At this moment, the camp in front of Du He is a fortress that is extremely fine, not that there are no flaws, but the flaws are very small. The small ones can be ignored and cannot construct a fatal hazard to the other party. Although it can be used, it can also bring certain casualties to the other side, but the gap in strength can make up for all this.

Du He repeatedly studied the camp arranged by the enemy, his eyes inadvertently looked at the rear of the camp, and looked at it blankly, when suddenly he was afraid of his thighs, and shouted: "Yes, I have a way!" Why do you need to borrow troops from Yanqi, just with 6,000 soldiers and horses in my hands, it is enough to break these 70,000 shrimp soldiers and crab generals. ”

He thought of a clever plan to break the enemy, and directly regarded the 70,000 Western Turkic soldiers and horses under the cliff as shrimp soldiers and crab generals!
