In any case, Yang Yuanqing had to cross the Yīn Mountain to return to Dali City, Yi Lost Bowl had sworn that he must use Yang Yuanqing's head to sacrifice his two sons, and now his opportunity has come, in order to intercept and kill the enemy, Yi Lost Bowl used almost all the strength of Xue Yantuo, he used the goshawk to send orders, and deployed hundreds of thousands of Xue Yantuo troops in the various passes that crossed the Yīn Mountain, and all Sui troops who crossed the Yīn Mountain must be killed.
Under the strong stabbing of the revenge of killing his son, Yi Lost Bowl has gradually lost his mind, forgetting the overall situation of the grassland, forgetting the Khibi people who are watching from the side, and forgetting the Eastern and Western Turks who have suspicions about Xue Yantuo.
Yi Nan, the eldest son of Yi Lost Bowl, wore leather armor and leather helmet, rode a horse and galloped in the camp of Xue Yantuo, his eyes were full of worry, full of worry about his father's stubbornness, in an open space in front of him, dozens of poorly made siege ladders, and a few nest cars standing in the air like giants, hundreds of Xue Yantuo craftsmen were clanging in a corner to build a crash car, Xue Yantuo learned from the Turks the production of some siege equipment, this is the first time they used it in siege warfare.
Yi lost the bowl was riding a horse to inspect the construction of these siege weapons, in a month he had built hundreds of siege weapons and a large number of arrows, in another twenty days, when the ice and snow on the grassland melted slightly, and the Yellow River has not thawed, he wanted to attack the city of Dali on a large scale, he saw with his own eyes that the inner city of the city of Dali was not completed, which made him full of confidence, he wanted to wash the city of Dali in blood, revenge.
"Father Khan!"
The eldest son, Yi Nan, saw his father from afar, he ran up shouting, Yi lost a bowl and looked at his son very unhappily, there was disgust in his eyes, Yi Nan always persuaded himself to give up the revenge of killing his son, but his son was killed by Thorn Duo, but he never forgot it.
"What's the matter?" Yi asked impatiently.
"Father Khan, I have just received news that the Khibi have assembled south of the Golden Mountain, and they are preparing to declare war on us. Yi Nan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Yi lost the bowl and looked at him coldly, "I already knew about this matter, so what?" ”
Yi Nan yelled anxiously, "Father Khan, since you know, why do you still offend the Sui Dynasty? Trap yourself in the back of the enemy! ”
Yi lost the bowl and was furious, he pulled out his spear and knocked Yi Nan off his horse to the ground, pointed the tip of the spear at his xiōng chamber and scolded: "You bastard, your two younger brothers were killed by Yang Yuanqing, you don't want to take revenge, and you are afraid of offending him, are you still a grassland man?" ”
"I'm not a bad seed, Father Khan, your eyes are blinded by hatred, you will ruin our Xue Yantuo!"
Yi Nan was so angry that he tore open his leather robe violently, and roared loudly: "Father Khan, you kill me!" I'd rather be killed by you. ”
More than a dozen generals next to him hurriedly rushed forward and dragged Yi Nan down, they saw Yi lost the bowl and trembled with anger, and hurriedly persuaded Yi Nan, "Prince, don't anger the Khan anymore, just bear with it!" ”
"I've endured enough!"
Yi Nan broke free from everyone's drag, rushed to Yi Lost Bowl and shouted: "Xue Qiluo died on the battlefield, which son did not die on the battlefield, Thorn Duo went to be a robber to kill people and set fire, his death was self-inflicted, now the enemy is present, but you care about these personal grievances, how much do you want Xue Yantuo to pay for your hatred?" ”
"You hún bastard!"
Yi lost the bowl in his heart burst out of murder, he pulled out a knife and slashed at his son's neck, everyone had already taken precautions, rushed up, grabbed Yi lost bowl's arm, hugged his waist, and shouted to Yi Nan: "Prince, you go quickly!" Let's go! ”
Yi Nan sighed, turned over on his horse, whipped his horse, and ran to the west, Yi lost his bowl stared at his back, for a long time, he said coldly: "From now on, Yi Nan is no longer the heir of Xue Yantuo Khan, but my nephew Shalu Hunt is the heir of Xue Yantuo Khan." ”
He turned his horse's head and walked towards his big tent, and heard him shout from afar: "If you don't kill Yang Yuanqing, I will not be a man if I lose my bowl!" ”
..........
Fifteen hundred camels converged, and a thousand Khibi warriors and five hundred Sui soldiers formed a temporary military alliance and marched towards Mount Yīn, where they would face the interception of Xue Yantuo's army. ("7*24 hours of uninterrupted update pure txt hand-hit novel")
The equipment of the Khibi army was basically the same as that of the Western Turks, wearing a thick hat, wearing a leather robe, tightly wrapped in leather armor, and weapons were bows and arrows, war knives and spears.
At the same time that the Sui and Qi coalition forces were advancing towards Mount Yīn, the Chali brothers also led a tribe of several hundred people to begin to migrate north, and they also realized that it was not safe to approach Mount Yīn.
In the long thousands of miles of mountains, there are dozens of passes large and small that can cross the Yīn Mountain, but you have to walk dozens of miles to cross the Yīn Mountain, which is full of basins, valleys and alpine meadows, dense forests, many animals, and ravines that can be used to hide the army.
It was precisely because of the complex terrain and numerous passes in the Yīn Mountains that Xue Yantuo dispatched more than 100,000 troops to intercept Yang Yuanqing and his party in a range of nearly 1,000 miles.
Compared to the deep snow on the north side of Mount Yīn, there was also snow on the south side of Mount Yīn, but it was not as deep, and the cavalry could walk on the snowfield, but they could not gallop on horseback, but could only move slowly.
In the evening of that day, a group of 5,000 cavalry of Xue Yantuo slowly crossed an alpine grassland, and came to a basin with dense forests on both sides, and then a valley in front of it, as if there had been an avalanche, and the snow in the valley was more than a man deep, and they could not pass it at all, and they went out of this valley that was three miles long, and crossed the Yīn Mountain.
In winter, it was extremely difficult to cross the Yīn mountain on horseback, and they walked for two days in just a few dozen miles, and the soldiers were exhausted.
The leader of the team was a captain of ten thousand people, and when he saw that the soldiers were tired, he waved his hand, "Let's camp on the spot!" ”
In an open space in the basin, all the soldiers camped on the spot, fetching firewood to light a fire to keep warm, and several officers surrounded the captain and said, "What should we do next, is it to go back?" ”
"Of course go back! The person Khan is looking for did not go from this road, what are we staying here for? Rest overnight and go back early tomorrow morning. ”
"But this is the main passage, in case they ....."
"In case you're big!"
Captain Wan slapped it, and he pointed to the valley that was annihilated by the avalanche, "Look at that valley, can they get by?" ”
The officers no longer cared about this matter, and they changed the subject, "Commander Wan, I heard that the Khan has changed Shalu Hunt as his heir, is this true?" ”
Wan Fu Chang sighed, "Yi Nan has vision and brains, and it is the hope of our Xue Yantuo to prosper, that Shalu hunting is brutal, I really don't know what the Khan thinks?" ”
"I think the Khan is faint in wanting revenge, and he is actually going to attack the Sui Dynasty."
"You're right, the Khan is blinded by hatred, our real enemy he is not ready to fight, but he sent more than 100,000 people to find a group of Sui soldiers, hey! I really can't say anything about him. ”
Captain Wan sighed helplessly, he stood up and said to everyone: "Rest early, raise enough jīng god to go back tomorrow, there are also patrols and guards, and pay attention to guarding against wolves at night." ”
Xue Yantuo's army was exhausted, and he had no intention of burning the fire to roast ròu, so Hu Luàn ate a little dry food, and then went into the camp to sleep.
The sky was getting dark, there was silence in Xue Yantuo's camp, the soldiers had fallen asleep, a team of sentry patrolled back and forth nearby, and in the distance, on the left and right two big rocks, there was a sentry squatting, wrapped in a máo blanket, but it was still shivering from the cold wind.
In a forest about three miles away from Xue Yantuo's camp, Yang Yuanqing rode on a war horse, and was coldly looking at the big camp in the distance, five thousand enemy troops, and gave him a big gift when the bowl was opened.
"General Yang, let's split up and kill the sentries first!" Che Biliet laughed.
"Good! We'll do the sentry, and the patrol will be for you. ”
Yang Yuanqing and Qi Bilie high-fived, Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, several Sui army archers followed him out, they moved quickly, and after a short time they ran to a place not too far from the two sentry posts, hiding behind a big rock, he pointed to the left, and the two soldiers rushed away, hiding behind another big stone.
Yang Yuanqing chōu took out an arrow, and smeared a little poison yào 'Papamu' on the arrow, he had found that this poison yào was a sharp weapon against the sentry, and the sentry was killed immediately before he had time to shout.
He stretched out his bow and arrows, and looked at the two soldiers, they were also painted yào, ready, Yang Yuanqing made a gesture to the two of them, they pulled their bows and released arrows at the same time, and the two sentries on the mountain stone snorted, one fell from the stone, and the other died on the stone.
The patrol was on the other side of the basin, about a dozen people, they rode back and forth in the snow, when they patrolled to a place with thick snow, suddenly, the snow on the ground rose into the air, threw a dozen patrol soldiers off their horses, cut off the heads with a knife, cleanly, a dozen patrol soldiers, did not scream.
Yang Yuanqing saw it clearly, it turned out to be more than 20 Qibi soldiers wearing white sè cloaks, and when they were lying on the ground, they were completely consistent with Xue Di Yan sè, and they couldn't see it at all.
Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised, this way of camouflage sè ambush is really different, he led the two soldiers to quickly run back, turned over the camel, he was about to give the order to attack, but Qi Bilie grabbed him and shook his head at him.
"What, what's wrong?"
Qi Bilie pointed at Yang Yuanqing and his camels and said: "Your camel is a merchant camel, and you will be frightened if you have not experienced the húnluàn of camping, while our camels have been specially trained, and you are responsible for intercepting and killing on the periphery." ”
This sentence made Yang Yuanqing nod, and he knew that camels, like war horses, also had special training.
"Good! Let's go to the south to intercept. ”
Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, and five hundred Sui soldiers urged the camels to follow him to the south.
Seeing that they were gradually moving away, he slowly chōu out of the snow sword, the sword swung forward, a thousand Qibi warriors kicked the camels fiercely, the camels began to run, gradually running faster and faster, like madness, a thousand camel cavalry danced with their swords, like a flood, and swooped towards the Xue Yantuo camp three miles away.
