Unknown mountains, unknown lands!

Du He led 6,000 soldiers and horses to march forward in the mountains and forests.

The reason why it is nameless is not because it is not worth mentioning, but because it is too steep and there is no trace of people, so no one is looking for something to give it a name.

At this moment, there were countless traces of people in this place where few people arrived, all of them looking tired, but they were full of energy.

The words tired and energetic may seem contradictory, but they are not.

The look is tired because of the lack of physical strength over the mountains and mountains, but the vitality is because those people have a pair of bright eyes, and the eyes are full of resolute expression and unyielding fighting spirit.

After Du He made a plan with Luo Tong and Fang Yiai, he immediately called Jiang Xingben and asked him to bluff, and he personally led 5,000 flying horsemen and 1,000 elites, only brought three days of food, and traveled lightly.

After setting off from the Black Cyanosis, Du He and his party turned to the southwest and crossed the mountains and mountains, and hurried all night and night.

Among the trees, the trees are three feet high, covering the sky, and at night, the stars and the moon are all invisible, and the whole thing is dark, but in order to seize the time, they rush in the dark. The first day was fine, but on the second day, the situation changed, and it snowed heavily, and I saw the goose-feather-like snow flakes flying sideways and vertically in the cold wind, and the rain became bigger and bigger. In the midst of this heavy snowfall, six thousand warriors strode north through the dense forests of the mountains as they puffed through the white mist and creaked with the snow beneath their feet.

As Duhe said, there is no road here, and now they are walking the path opened up by Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai's divine power is amazing, and he is full of physical strength, just like a superman. He held the wolf's tooth knife in his hand and slashed left and right. All the thorny branches were broken by their hands. They shuttled through the man-made forests and waters, and the roads were narrow enough for only one person to pass.

In this terrible situation, it took them two days to open up a completely new road, climb two large mountains, and finally at the dawn of the third day, they came to the other end of the trail recorded on the map, and as long as they followed this path, they could reach the Chitei Valley without knowing it.

The sky was beautiful, and at the moment they arrived, the snow had stopped all day, and the wind had lightened, so that they were no longer hindered by the wind and snow.

Here Luo Tong replaced the love of the house!

Fang Yiai has been a pioneer for two days, and despite his physical strength, he also feels that his arms are as heavy as a thousand pounds and trembles slightly.

"It's okay!" Du He stretched out his hand to support his beloved, with a worried face.

Fang Yiai grinned, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, boss, it's tough!" ”

At noon that day, they came to the top of the mountain, and at this moment they only had to descend the mountain to reach a mountain col near the Chiting Valley, but now was not the time to attack, in order not to startle the snake, they went directly to the top of the mountain to rest.

After settling the exhausted troops, Du He took Luo Tong and used the cover of the mountains and forests to approach the Dachiting Valley to observe the enemy's situation.

The heavy snow had stopped, and the open ground in the Akatei Valley was covered with snow. The enemy's large battalion was divided into two parts, and the 70,000-strong army was gathered in the camp, with nearly 100,000 horses in the fertile meadows behind them. They are gathered in one place, grazing leisurely.

The horses of the Western Regions are resistant to high temperatures, and for these horses, such a climate is nothing at all.

"God help me!" Du He looked at the enemy camp that was still unchanged and let out a low cry. What he was most worried about was that the generals of the Western Turks were hot-headed and changed the camp, making him work in vain, but now it seems that he is too careful.

Return to the top of the mountain and recharge your batteries until the evening.

They had eaten all their dry food, refreshed their spirits, and were waiting for orders.

"Gather all the soldiers who can fight!" Du He tidied up his messy clothes, took a handful of snow, wiped it on his face, and washed his face.

The troops were gathered in the col in the middle of the mountainside, and they were all exhausted and standing haggard in the snow and ice. Du He came to the front of the soldiers, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, everyone keep quiet, below is the enemy camp, if there is a noise together, we are afraid that we will die together, and we will report to the king of Hades together." ”

A small joke made all the soldiers raise their mouths, and the tense nerves relaxed, and their faces became less serious. In such a bad situation, it is important to maintain a calm mind.

Du He continued: "Listen to me, what I want to tell you is that we have arrived at our destination in front, and as long as we go down the mountain, we don't have to walk the mountain road anymore, let alone suffer from the cold!" ”

This simple sentence caused the soldiers to shake for a while. They are all human beings, none of them are made of iron, they have crossed Mohe Yanmoi, crossed the Chiting Ancient Road, and now they have climbed three high mountains in a row, although no one has an accident, but the body has almost reached the limit of the body.

Colds and fevers are not uncommon, and no less than 200 people are directly frozen and tired.

For this kind of environment and situation, they are all rejected from the bottom of their hearts. Hearing him say this, they were all overjoyed, if it weren't for their long training, they were afraid that the earth-shaking cheers would reach the bottom of the mountain and attract the Western Turks down the mountain.

Du He raised his hand and motioned for them to be quiet: "But don't be too happy!" I'm going to tell you...... Even if I don't say it, you should know that there are powerful enemies down there - much stronger than us! They are eleven times as numerous as we are, and they are all rechargeable. Looking at us, we are all tired and half dead, and our physical strength is not even half of what we used to be. ”

Hearing this, the original ecstasy of the soldiers gradually subsided, and the commander who quietly listened to his own convincing commander continued, "But we have no way out, the food has been eaten, and it is impossible to go back. The only way to survive is to fight, defeat them with me! Eat their food to satisfy their hunger, and rob their tents and coats from the cold! ”

"A word of retreat is death, and fighting is ......life," Du He said in a firm and deep voice, dancing his arms, and scanning the audience with his internal strength and eyes. This glance, at this time, can only be described in four words: thrilling. The eyes full of divine light contained an incomparably strong self-confidence, and there was a pleasing and convincing power in the eyes, which made people willing to obey his commands.

The key to the strength of a force lies in how cohesive the force is. The cohesion of the troops is largely based on the degree of faith in the generals. An outstanding general's words and a look can make a soldier have great courage. The courage of the generals to be able to solve all difficulties is the driving force behind the spirit of the soldiers.

Du He was already very popular with the military, and his mutual support along the way, his performance made all the soldiers respectful.

At this moment, the confidence and courage he showed completely became the motivation for these soldiers to continue to fight.

"Finally, I have some good news for you, and despite our dire situation, I, your commander, are still fully sure that we will win and defeat them! As long as you believe in me and listen to my orders to fight and kill, we will be able to taste the fruits of victory together at this time tomorrow! ”

"Let's go!"

Under Du He's order, nearly 6,000 soldiers marched down the mountain in high spirits.

When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, it was getting dark.

Du He summoned Luo Tong, Fang Yiai, and Wang Dezheng, "Now that we have run out of ammunition and food, we are desperate, and the only way out is to use those 100,000 horses as the vanguard and destroy the enemy military camp in one fell swoop." Roton, lead two thousand men on a detour to the right side of the stable; Wang Dezheng, you lead two thousand men and make a detour to the left side of the stable; Bereavement, I will attack from the front with me. ”

The difference between victory and defeat is like a game of chess, only in one move.

Zhang Xiong's resourcefulness can be regarded as a masterpiece in the world, but he underestimated Du He's unbridled imagination in tactics and his grasp of fighters.

As Luo Tong said, Zhang Xiong did not make a mistake. What he did was reasonable and fully reflected his wisdom. But just because you haven't made a mistake doesn't mean you don't have a flaw. The 100,000 war horses arranged behind them are the biggest flaw, and they are also the key to victory or defeat.

They came to the stables in disguise, and according to Duhe's arrangement, they formed a triangular shape around the stables, and spread out a semi-encirclement of the stables.

"Kill~~~" More than 6,000 soldiers suddenly shouted in unison, and then they rushed to their respective targets quickly according to the plan, and the momentum was like a sea of mountains! In an instant, the serene night sky shattered like glass that had been struck and shattered.

The stables were not unguarded, but they were only a thousand and eight hundred. They were sitting or standing at the camp gate chatting. Hearing the scream of the earth cracking that day, they stood stunned on the spot, and before they could react, they had been shot down by a dense number of crossbow arrows, where did they imagine that Du He's soldiers and horses would fall from the sky, and in a hurry they wanted to resist, and before this weapon was pulled out, the soldiers who rushed to it chopped over and stabbed to death.

Duhe commanded two thousand men to rush into the stables, and at the head of the column were a hundred spearmen lined up in a dense formation, like mad bulls, striding forward with spears in hand. Several enemies in front of them bore the brunt of the attack, and they were instantly stabbed and pushed to the ground by seven or eight shots.

Before they came, he had equipped each of them with torches, and had repeatedly told them not to keep them from getting wet, and at the very moment they rushed into the stables, six thousand torches were lit almost at the same time, and the light of the fire lit up the night sky.

They scattered and did only one thing—and that was to burn their horses, and in an instant flames rushed and smoke rose into the sky.

The horses caught fire and ignited each other. It was a scene of ten thousand horses galloping.

They chirped in horror, fear driving them crazy.

In the face of flames coming from three sides, they completely lost their minds and could only run to one place!

That's ...... The camp of the 70,000-strong army of the Western Turks!
