Chapter 426: Wolf Juxu Mountain

In the Turkic steppe, after Shibi Khan led an army of 300,000 to the south, the four Turks in the west, the Tiele Khanate in the north, and the Kumo Xi State in the east all led troops to attack the steppe. There was chaos everywhere, and there was looting and fighting everywhere. At this time, there was still a cavalry with a black skull banner on the grassland. The back and forth was like the wind, and the whereabouts were erratic, but the terrifying means of not staying for thousands of miles made the grassland even more panicked.

Princess Kedun Yicheng, who was left behind in the Turkic Yatent Tucheng, and many family leaders of the Ashina tribe, faced with the chaotic fighting on the grassland, the busy tribe moved from the Tucheng to the holy mountain three days to the north to take refuge.

The Turkic sacred mountain wolf dwells in Xué Mountain, and the wolf dwells in Xué Mountain is a Turkic name. However, this mountain also has a Chinese name, but it is the name that all the middle-nosed people know, Wolf Juxu Mountain. Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty in the fourth year of Yuanjia, the general Huo Qubing had chased and killed the Xiongnu to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and sealed the Wolf Juxu Mountain to sacrifice to the sky, and the Zen ceremony of sacrificing the ground was held in Guyan Mountain, which was known as "Feng Wolf Juxu Mountain" in history.

This is the burial place of the great khans of the Turks, and there are many thatched huts and tents in the valley that are used for the annual sacrifices. Moreover, this wolf Juxu Mountain is surrounded by mountains, and the most central valley is a natural dangerous place, with only one path leading to the grassland, and there are lakes and streams in the valley. As long as they retreat into the valley, the valley is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and it is completely possible to wait until the army of the beginning returns to the grassland to repel those tribes who have entered the grassland.

In the valley, in addition to the original thatched huts, a large number of tents were also erected at this time. Between the green mountains and green waters, the tents fell like white clouds in the mountains. Except for a few Turkic tribal men at the mouth of the valley, the valley is basically full of old and weak people.

By the Wanshui River, a team of soldiers and horses of about 300 people, all of them with bright armor and good bows, marched north without hurry and arrived at the foot of the mountain at noon.

The river is as bright and clear as ever, flowing quietly. The green mountains in the distance are majestic, continuous, and the dragon and snake like a dragon and snake are expanding to immediately dance lightly on a general's horse, and say in a deep voice: "Get off the horse and rest for a while." ”

The three hundred cavalrymen dismounted in unison, moving in unison, eating dry food and drinking horses, everyone did things silently, but they did everything meticulously. However, there were still dozens of people who did not dismount, but quickly rode to a few high places, holding clairvoyants and looking around.

Zhang Meng also rode a horse and chose a high slope, holding a clairvoyant mirror to look around. He is the captain of the vanguard scout regiment of the coalition army's forward generals Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, specializing in exploring the way for the front army.

"The Wolf Residence Xué Mountain should be here." After a few words to himself, he called the Turkic guide who had been captured on the road and asked.

A few dark shadows appeared in the clairvoyant mirror, and after a while, they were getting closer and closer, but it was the small scout team he had sent out before who had returned.

A burst of horses' hooves fluttered, and several horses stopped in front of Zhang Meng. The knights were all dressed in the clothes of the Turkic herdsmen and wore hats, so that they were really presentable. The first man jumped off his horse, stretched out his hand and threw a Turkic tied up on horseback in front of Zhang Meng like a chicken.

The man said excitedly: "My lord just explored the way, and when he was exploring the way, he didn't expect to know a great news. ”

"What's the good news?"

The man ran forward and leaned in front of Zhang Meng, and said excitedly: "The Kedun of the Khan of Shibi, in order to fear that the Western Turks and Tiele and other tribes would attack the Turkic tent, actually brought all the old and weak people in Tucheng to the Wolf Juxu Mountain in front. ”

Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, "Is this true?" ”

"It's true, our brothers have personally gone there to investigate, and there are indeed tens of thousands of people in the valley at this time.

Although Zhang Meng was only a school captain, in fact, he was originally a tiger general.

He is the younger brother of Daniel Zhang of the Liaodong Army, and he used to be a captain in the reconnaissance battalion of the Liaodong Army. Before this expedition, he was still a tiger general. However, after this kid entered the grassland, when the army encountered those small tribes along the way, they all killed people in strict accordance with the order. Only this kid, every time everyone fought, he must have gone into the tent of the Turks and went to find those Turkic women.

After being arrested several times in a row, many generals in the army were a little helpless. If this kid is not punished, it is estimated that the entire coalition army will have to learn from him by then. At that time, the coalition army entered the Turkic steppe once, and it would leave 18,000 children for the Turks. …,

However, although he was demoted, he still clearly knew the purpose of entering the grassland this time.

"Right now!"

The sky was about to get dark, and Zhang Meng took his men and horses to converge the large forces of the coalition army. After Chen Kefu and the generals listened to Zhang Meng's report in the tent, they carefully looked at Dan Pan's hand-drawn map.

"Do you know who the valley is?" The purpose of his trip south was to go to the Turkic tent. I didn't expect that Kedun would retreat to the east mountain with the people of the tooth tent. On the contrary, it saved him three days of travel at once, but his purpose was to catch some important people, and if the mountains were full of old and weak people, it would be meaningless.

"I climbed up the hill and searched carefully, and there were at least nearly 50,000 people in the valley, and almost the entire people of the tooth tent had moved here. In the valley, there are not only those ordinary fù children in the tooth tent, but even the noble families of the Ashina tribe are also in the valley. Shibi Khan's Kedun, as well as several of Shibi Khan's younger sons, and many men of the Ashina family who did not go south, most of them were in the valley. ”

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the valley?" Zhang Meng said, "According to our observation, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the valley, and there are about 3,000 people guarding the valley mouth. ”

"Ten thousand people? With such a few people, our Khitan cavalry alone can take it. Abao said with a smile.

Chen Kefu lowered his head and looked at the map again, "This is really a dead valley with only one way out, with 3,000 people to defend it, it is enough to deal with ordinary people." But you can't stop us if you want to, and it's a bit troublesome to defeat us if it's not too hard. ”

After thinking for a while, Chen Kefu smiled and said, "I have a plan that will definitely work." "Putting your own plans... After saying it to the generals, all the generals nodded in agreement. Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Chen Kefu simply ordered the whole army to rest on the spot, eat and drink horses, and recuperate.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, the two pioneer generals, selected 3,000 elite players. All of them were dressed in armor and black. Everyone abandoned their horses and walked, carrying only a horizontal knife in their hands and a crossbow on their backs, walking through the mountains and forests like a fly.

The rustling of footsteps continued to sound, and the three thousand men soon made their way through the forest, over the hillside, and on the top of the mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see that the valley in the dark night is like a popular market, and there is a little light in the tents. Even outside the tents, there were many bonfires lit, around which some young Turkic men and women were dancing.

Cheng Yanjin grinned below: "Action!" "Three thousand men and horses rounded the valley and entered the mountain from the other side of the hill. Quietly sneaked into the valley, and in that huge valley, tens of thousands of Turks didn't even know that a force of soldiers and horses had fallen from the sky.

"Whew!" A bowstring sounded, and a rocket flew into the sky, giving the signal to attack.

The 3,000 Sui troops who infiltrated the valley did not directly rush into those tent areas, but remained hidden on both sides of the valley, constantly firing rockets at those tents. Rockets set fire to tents, interspersed with violent noises.

Under the first onslaught of rockets and gunpowder, the Turks in the valley immediately became chaotic. The valley was filled with the sound of cries and the explosion of gunpowder. After a round of raids,

Qin Qiong pulled the knife in his hand and took the lead in rushing towards the valley.

Qin Qiong is on the left, Cheng Biting Jin is on the right, the two of them each lead a team of people, and they are not entangled along the way. It's just that the horses are constantly riding and driving away the panicked crowd. When encountering a pile of Turkic people gathered in cages, there will immediately be Sui troops throwing grenades into the crowd. In the midst of the blazing explosions, most of the Turks didn't even know who had killed them.

Princess Yicheng rushed out of the tent in a panic, "What's the matter, is it the Tiele people who killed it, or the Western Turks?" ”

It's just that she asked several times, but no one could answer her. Everyone was already dizzy. I don't understand why there is no movement in the valley, and why Lou in the valley is attacked by a large army.

The defenders at the mouth of the valley were as panicked as the princess at this time, and they didn't know why there was a constant sound of pingpong and the roar of fire in the valley. Amid the countless screams, among the tens of thousands of Turks in the valley, a large number of Turks have desperately rushed towards the valley mouth. The thousands of defenders guarding the mouth of the valley were not long before they were overwhelmed by their own people.

"Great marshal, the Turks' defense line at the mouth of the valley has been broken up." Yu Qinming's exuberant way.

Chen Kefu smiled and nodded, "Collect the Internet bar, Deputy Marshal Yu, you lead people into the valley, Ben Shuai is here to spread the net and arrest all those who ran out." "This valley mouth of this wolf Juxu Mountain is very narrow, and if it is directly attacked, it will definitely cause great casualties to the Sui army. Therefore, Chen Kefu simply sent a small army to turn over and sneak into the valley first, and make all the fù children in the valley chaotic. Then they drove them to break through this most troublesome pass from the inside, as long as the pass was broken, these tens of thousands of Turks would become tens of thousands of sheep in their eyes.

When Chen Kefu showed out tens of thousands of troops and lifted the skeleton clan, it didn't take long for the coalition army to completely control the tens of thousands of Turkic people. Chen Kefu, escorted by his personal guards, entered the valley.

Princess Yicheng looked at Chen Kefu with some suspicion: "Who are you?" ”

Chen Kefu smiled slightly: "I borrowed the princess's deed arrow again and again." ”!。
