The chief of the Yuan Qi Zhe tribe is fifty years old, the oldest of the chiefs, at this time he is holding his horse with a package of nearly three hundred catties, walking on the mountain road of the Snake Valley with a melancholy look, trying to urge the mighty escort army to hurry. As the weakest of the five tribes of the Xi Nationality, the patriarch of Yuan Qi Zheer is the oldest, but the right to speak is the lowest. But there is no doubt that he is the most sensible and sober of the five chiefs.

King Xi Ah Huiruo has been trying his best to contact Gao Kaidao, hoping to take advantage of the way to rob Youzhou and rob ill-gotten gains. Yuan Qizhier has always opposed this, but he has the lowest right to speak, and no one listens to him. The five tribes of the Xi nationality are in the same breath, and the Yuan Qi fold cannot be isolated, so they can only reluctantly follow along.

It's not that he is kind enough to keep opposing opinions, it's just that he sees a little farther than others. It is estimated that thousands of years ago, the Central Plains and the grassland began to have a grudge entanglement, such as the Zhou Dynasty and the Dog Rong, the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Xiongnu, and the Jin Kingdom and the Wuhu......

All kinds of things are inseparable from a law, who is weak and who is bullied. Now the Tang Dynasty is on the rise, and the Central Plains is no longer the era at the end of the Sui Dynasty when everyone could be bullied. The Xi people are not a super-large tribe like the Turks, they have the capital to compete with the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need to offend a rising Central Plains Empire for a little property.

Facts have also proved him right, Datang is not something that the Xi people can fight against.

He learned of the urgency of the battle situation from King Xi A Huiruo, and the 20,000 elites of the Xi tribe who occupied the land and defended it were at a disadvantage without any suspense. Those who are persecuted can only force the soldiers to fight a war of attrition, using the flesh and blood of their clansmen to delay time. There is no need to calculate the gains and losses, even if they transport all the supplies back to the Xi tribe. They are also failures. No amount of wealth can be exchanged for the lives of more than 10,000 Xi warriors, not to mention that more than 10,000 casualties are only preliminary estimates, and the actual number is only a lot more.

But even so, now they have no choice but to go on with their mistakes.

Yuan Qian Zheer walked with a heavy heart, and suddenly the whole person leaned back and hurriedly took a small step back. It eliminates the possibility of falling due to unstable center of gravity. He turned back in confusion, but saw that Aiju had stopped moving, pulling his head as if he was about to turn around.

Yuan Qi's heart is not good. The grasslands are full of dangers, and there are countless fierce beasts such as wolves, snakes, tigers and leopards, which humans are often unable to guard against. But beasts have an innate advantage, and their sensitivity to danger is far greater than that of ordinary people. Experienced steppe people will judge danger based on the reaction of horses, cattle, sheep, dogs and other livestock. So as to be careful and vigilant.

The anomaly of the foal. Yuan Qi Folded suddenly felt bad.

Before he could react, he felt a slight vibration under his feet, and the sound of hooves came from far and near, how could he, who had lived in the grassland all his life, not hear the sound of a galloping horse stepping on the ground?

"Enemy attack!" Yuan Qi'er screamed at the top of his voice, but his heart was extremely strange. The roads in this snake valley are difficult to travel, and strange rocks are everywhere, even the people on their steppes cannot gallop in such a place. What the hell is sacred, with such exquisite and terrifying riding skills?

Soon Yuan Qier understood......

Looking at the blazing horses, I understood that the enemy was skilled in riding. It was clear that the enemy had seen through their weakness, and carried hay on horseback, lit the horse's tail, and drove the horse towards them. The horse instinctively galloped for his life.

Where else can Yuan Qian Zheer take care of, turn around and run. He was at the forefront, the first to react, and there happened to be a vacant seat for him to shuttle, and he suddenly hid from the first place in the first row to the back of a hundred people.

The others were slowing down, and when they reacted, they chose to turn and run away almost at the same time.

As soon as they moved, everyone in the front row immediately crowded together, you pushed and I squeezed.

The panicked fire horse didn't care so much, and directly crashed into the crowd, knocking people to the ground in a row, trampling them over, and trampling them into flesh. At the same time, the hay on the horses was also infectious, igniting the surrounding horses and the people who were crowded together.

When people are not afraid of death, when there is no room for remark, one by one Xi soldiers turn around and flee like crazy and demonic, insert them when they see cracks, trample on each other, and crowd each other. The most terrifying thing is the frightened horse, the beasts don't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and the frightened ones stump and kick eighteen kinds of martial arts, causing great harm to the Xi soldiers.

The men and horses were in such a mess that more than 2,000 people were stuck on both sides of the valley that no one could move: death awaited them.

Yuan Qian retreated at the end, looking at the scene in front of him, wanting to cry without tears.

They escaped because the horses in the front row were crowded with people, piled up into a living wall of flesh, blocking the attack of the fire horses and blocking the source of the unrest. The root of this was broken, and the men and horses behind the meat wall avoided this catastrophe.

The incident happened too suddenly and too quickly, and the people in the rear didn't even know what the situation was, and they still rushed forward with high cheers.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I didn't expect this to be the result!" Meng Chao watched the fire horse crash into the flesh wall, couldn't rush over, and finally burned to death in place, shouting pity.

Su Dingfang touched his sparse beard, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's enough, you don't need to look at it to know." Behind this wall of flesh there will be a disorder. If they want to rest and fight, it will take them more than half a day. Without losing a single soldier or a single soldier, five hundred horses in exchange for nearly three thousand casualties, plus winning most of the day's time, where can such a good thing be found. ”

"Hah!" Meng Chao turned to smile and agreed: "That's what I said!" ”

As Su Dingfang expected, Yuan Qizhier resolutely did not dare to march so intensively, and spent nearly a day re-arranged, and organized 8,000 brave and good soldiers, intending to break the formation.

With 8,000 warriors as the front, the rest of the soldiers were divided into three columns, leaving room for contingencies, like three long snakes slowly advancing.

Coming to the mouth of the valley, Yuan Qi'er looked at the narrow and dangerous place, showing three camps in the shape of a zigzag that supported each other and relied on each other. Each of the three camps had 50 strong archers, and each of the camps had 300 soldiers under them.

Yuan Qi Zheer felt dizzy when he looked at it, lost his mind for a moment, and said bitterly: "Transfer another three thousand people to ......" Although there are eight thousand, but in the face of such a tight defense, Yuan Qi Zhier does not even have the courage to attack.

It wasn't until 10,000 troops were gathered on the left and right that he gave him a little confidence and gave the order to attack, and said with apprehension in his heart: "I hope the king can hold on for a little longer." He didn't know that at this moment, the king in his mouth had become a prisoner. (To be continued......)
