Under the leadership of Gu Luo, he fought a beautiful ambush battle with the Luo people, although the five hundred light cavalry sent out to lure the enemy were almost swallowed by the Xi people, but with the loss of more than four hundred cavalry, Gu Luo successfully caught a big fish. Although Su Zhi, the leader of the Ahui tribe, ate the bait of his more than 400 light horsemen, he was also lured out of the dense forest of Songshan and came to the open plain, and finally entered his ambush circle. The ambush was quite successful, and the Tongluo cavalry suddenly struck out from all sides with lightning speed, and suddenly rushed the cavalry of the Ahui Division, which was in desperate pursuit, and caught them off guard. In less than half an hour, a thousand Xi cavalry were almost wiped out.

Gu Luo struck while the iron was hot, and directly led his troops to chase into the dense forest of Songshan, losing more than 1,000 cavalry at once, and the morale of the Ah Hui Department plummeted, even if it was relying on the dense forest, it was difficult to resist the attack of the Tongluo cavalry. The Xi people began to flee, panicked, and the army was defeated.

Xi Ren fled like frightened beasts, completely devoid of organization. At this time, the war became a hunt, and Gu Luo thought that the Xi people had been defeated, and all that remained was to harvest the spoils. Faced with these Xi people, who had no fighting spirit and only cared about escaping, Gu Luo ordered all departments to pursue. The Xi people scattered and fled, and the Tongluo people also began to disperse the pursuit, at the beginning, the pursuit team was still relatively concentrated, and later, the more they chased and scattered, it was completely like hunting in the mountains and forests, in order to chase the prey, the hunters were all scattered.

One after another, the Xi people fell under the arrows of the Tongluo people, and many Xi people were captured by the lasso, and many Xi women and children hiding in the forest were also found one by one at this time, and they became the trophies tied by the ropes behind the horses of the Tongluo cavalry. But there are still some who are still running for their lives. The vast majority of them fled southwestward.

The cavalry cheered and chased after them, and the Xi people who ran away were in their eyes. Already their slaves. The Tongluo cavalry did not realize that not far to the southwest, a fortified camp had taken shape, and an army of 20,000 men was already in full formation.

Running on the snowy road in the valley, Suzhi's heart was dripping blood. He didn't expect that he was cautious, but in the end he fell for the Tongluo people. Tricked to lure the enemy. Although he succeeded in eating nearly 500 Tongluo light horses, he finally lost 1,000 warriors of the Ahui tribe. Not only that, but because of the destruction of these thousand warriors. made the Ah Hui Department even more defeated in the future, and if he was not careful, he lost all the games.

Just because of his carelessness, he almost lost the entire Ah Hui Department.

But when I saw my son next to me. Su Zhi's face finally got better. Fortunately, my son lived up to the trust. Successfully brought back the reinforcements of the Sui State. Although he wondered why his son had not yet reached the foot of the Great Wall, the governor of the Sui State had already led the army to arrive. But he still sighed in his heart, fortunately he came with the army in time, otherwise, the Ah Hui Department would really be wiped out this time. The general Zhang next to his son had already said that Marshal Yi of Shangguo personally led 20,000 elite troops and was now stationed at the west entrance of Erdaogou in front. As long as they get there, they can get rid of the pursuit of the Tongluo people. Come to think of it. He looked back, and he could vaguely see the leopard riders of the pursuing Tongluo people behind him, damn the Tongluo people, and you will look good later.

Just behind the defeated army of Su Zhi, a Tongluo chasing army composed of more than 500 cavalry was in pursuit. These more than 500 Tongluo people were composed of soldiers from various divisions who pursued the defeated soldiers of the Xi tribe, and at this time they gathered under the black leopard horse, screaming excitedly and chasing all the way, seeing the golden deer banner in front of them in the distance. He Lu, who rushed to the front, was the son of Gu Luo, and he had heard his father say that the Xi people used the deer as a totem, and the golden deer was the symbol of the most powerful Ahui tribe, and the three golden deer were the banners of Su Zhi, the leader of the Ahui tribe. Seeing Sanlu Banner, He Lu excitedly thought that Su Zhi was in front. As long as he works harder, he can cut down Su Zhi, the leader of the most powerful Ahui clan of the Xi clan, and go back with this head, he will definitely be able to win his father's praise and surpass the other brothers.

Heru had already begun to bask in the joy of the impending victory, so when a sudden screech sounded in the air, he was even a little unresponsive to understand what it was.

The next moment, when there was a sound of panic around him, followed by the sound of the approaching breaking of the sky, and the sound of screams and wails, he finally realized what was happening.

Arrows, a large number of arrows, like rain of arrows, suddenly fell from the sky, with a sharp sound, instantly enveloping the Tongluo warriors who were chasing Xi Ren.

A birch arrow pierced through the cowhide armor on Heru's body and plunged deep into his chest, causing him to fall off his horse and fall to the ground.

He fell from his horse and fell into the mud of the snow, just in time to see the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and one after another Tongluo warriors were caught off guard, and they didn't even have time to raise their shields and avoid blocking, and they kept falling from their horses.

"I'm stupid!" Lying in the mud, he saw in front of Xi Ren in front of him, there were vague towers, he struggled to think about what they were, and then, he finally recognized it, it was the arrow tower. A lot of arrow towers, lots and lots of them.

"Why are there so many arrow towers there?" With one last question, Heru's eyelids grew heavier and his mind became more and more confused, and then he fell into eternal darkness.

The unscrupulous Tongluo cavalry who pursued were carelessly underestimated by the longbowmen of the Huaihuang Army who were blocking the valley mouth in the west.

The scouts on the hilltops on both sides of the valley had already spread the news of the enemy's approaching cavalry to the front of the battle in guò banners, and the longbowmen who had been placed behind the fences and chariots of the valley and the slopes on both sides of the valley had already been prepared, and as soon as they appeared, they were immediately destroyed. The five hundred Tongluo cavalry were fired three times by more than 4,000 longbowmen, and they were attacked by more than 10,000 arrows.

In the valley, which was not very wide, they were almost drowned in a rain of arrows in this round of attacks alone. A dense rain of arrows covered the heads of the entire cavalry unit, and the stunned Tongluo cavalry was confused and angry, and then fell one by one. Together with their warhorses, in a short moment. It's already broken.

After three rounds of arrow rain, the Huaihuang army did not give any more orders to shoot, and the longbowmen held their bows in hand. Quietly look at the piece of blood flowing in the valley, and the corpses are piling up like a mountain.

The more than 1,000 Ahui clan's subordinates who had already rushed to the front of the Huaihuang army all opened their mouths wide, their eyes widened, and they looked at the qiē that had just happened in front of them in shock and fear. They didn't have the excitement of escaping at this time, only the shock and fear of the five hundred horsemen being covered in the rain of arrows in an instant. There was no way to chase them, and hundreds of fierce leopard riders who had no way to enter the ground were only for a short moment. was destroyed by the Sui army. Five hundred Tongluo leopard riders, and before they even had time to fight back, they were already annihilated.

Su Zhi felt his scalp tingle. His legs were weak, and looking at the heavily fortified Sui army barracks in front of him, he felt breathless.

With the sound of a horn, rumbling war drums sounded in the Sui camp. Then the camp gate opened. A group of Sui troops stepped out of the camp.

Su Zhi and his Xi warriors automatically gave way one after another, and this group of Sui battalion soldiers walked to the mountain of corpses and blood covered by white arrow feathers with horizontal knives as if no one was around. Then without saying a word, he began to raise his knife and cut off the heads of the Guluo cavalry one by one. There were also some Tongluo cavalry who did not die, but were only wounded, but those soldiers who cleaned the battlefield did not pay attention to it at all, chopping off one by one, and cutting off their heads one by one.

Then another group of people came out from behind, carrying baskets. Pick up the freshly chopped and steaming heads of the Tongluo cavalry and put them into baskets, and carry them back to the camp after each basket is full.

Another group came out. They began to take baskets to recover the arrows from the ground, and baskets of arrows were brought back, not even the broken arrows. Another group began to collect the weapons of the Tongluo cavalry, some were stripping them of their armor and clothes, and another group began to divide the horses of the Tongluo cavalry, and the horses were peeled off, and the dead horses were dismembered into large pieces, and then carried away in baskets.

In the end, only the stripped and only the headless naked corpses of the Tongluo cavalry were left on the field.

Another group of Sui troops came, carrying shovels and hammers, as well as wooden stakes.

Su Zhi was surprised to see that these Sui soldiers had set up rows of sharp wooden stakes on both sides of the valley, and then inserted those stripped headless corpses into the wooden stakes.

Countless crows suddenly hovered over the battlefield, croaking and waiting for a feast to begin.

"I'm a catty, I'm handsome, please." Zhang Jin said that he interrupted Su Zhi's distraction.

Su Zhi came back to his senses, became more and more respectful, nodded in response, and led his subordinates to pass through the trestle bridges on the ditch, walk through the gates of the camp gates, and finally reach the rear of the camp.

"The decapitation is to record military exploits. The corpses were erected on wooden stakes to deter the enemy. As for the recovery of weapons and armor and horse meat, it is naturally for the purpose of recovering supplies. Zhang Jincheng seemed to see the question in Su Zhi's heart, and answered it with a smile while leading him to the Chinese military camp. Although our army is not short of food and materials now, there is a good saying, eat the enemy for one hour, and be me for twenty minutes. The recycling of materials on the battlefield is very important. A dead horse on the battlefield is divided for military consumption, and its value is often more than the value of a live horse in peacetime. ”

Hearing this, Su Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder this army is so strong, just looking at their thoughts, he already understands that their strength is not without reason. At this time, Su Zhi admired the Sui army that took the initiative to come to the rescue, and even had no doubt that this Sui army could defeat the Tongluo army that had just defeated him and fled.

On October 16, the general Gu Luo led his troops to break the Ahui clan of the Xi tribe, killing more than 2,000 people and capturing more than 10,000 people.

Gu Luo was proud, preparing the next step to attack the remaining four tribes of the Xi tribe to the east, and after conquering the five tribes of the Xi tribe, he turned around and drove these Xi slave armies to attack the dam. But at this moment, several urgent reports were received, saying that several chasing troops pursuing the defeated soldiers of the Xi tribe had disappeared in the west of Songshan, and no news was heard back. Several scout teams that went to investigate also never returned, and there was no news again.

Now there are several groups of men and horses who have lost the news, as many as seven or eight hundred horsemen, including Helu, the son of Tongluo.

At first, Gu Luo didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just that the pursuers were chasing Xi Ren's defeated soldiers too far, and he didn't have time to contact him for a while. But after losing contact for more and more time, and the teams sent to contact were sinking into the sea one by one, Gu Luo finally felt that something was wrong. When the fifth scout team is sent out. In the evening, a scout with an arrow in his back finally escaped with a serious wound and reported a shocking news.

Dozens of miles to the west of them. An army appeared there, they set up a camp at the mouth of the valley and held the mouth of the valley, but the banner they held was not the flag of the Xi people, but the red battle flag of the Sui Dynasty! It is reported that the camp of the Sui people is as strong as a city. The flags are like the sea, and the soldiers and horses are innumerable, with tens of thousands of people.

The shape shì turns sharply. The news of the Sui army that suddenly appeared in Xi Realm made Gu Luo hard to believe at first. After sending several scout teams in a row, the news brought back finally verified the results, and Taniguchi was indeed a Sui army. The number of people is indeed more than 10,000. It is estimated that there are at least 20,000 people. Even the identity of the commander of the Sui army was understood, and it was the leader of the Han people who was going to grab a handful of the Han people who were going to grab a handful, and now he was given the title of General by the Sui Dynasty, the Governor of Wuzhou, the Assassin History, and the Duke of Changning County. Taniguchi's army is also the army of Wushu.

His brave son, Heru, had by this time been beheaded at the mouth of the valley along with more than 800 Tongluo warriors, leaving only a headless torso stuck in a sharpened stake.

It's like falling from heaven to hell!

Guluo almost crushed his teeth, and his fingers clenched into fists. The joints have long since turned white.

He roared like a beast, "Gather all the warriors!" ”

With more than 8,000 soldiers assembled. Gu Luo took more than 10,000 Xi prisoners and slowly rushed towards the front of the Sui army.

Standing in the valley that wasn't too narrow, Guro looked up at the unexpected army in the distance.

Standing high on the big banner at the mouth of the valley, a fierce tiger flutters its claws. On the side of the Tiger Army flag, there is also a general flag with Yi Feng's official position written in Chinese characters, and a general flag with only one big Chinese character written on it. Gu Luo didn't know Chinese characters, and few people in the Tongluo army recognized the square characters composed of horizontal and vertical skimming. In fact, these Tongluo leopard riders are not even recognized by the Turkic scripts created by the Turks. Gu Luo found a Tongluo man who knew Chinese characters, a Mobei nobleman who had been to the Central Plains.

"The general's envoy is in charge of the fourteen towns of Wuzhou, the military of Wuzhou, the assassin of Shi, Changning County, Gongyi"

No one has heard of the governor of Wuzhou, no one has heard of the prince of Changning County, and no one has heard of a general surnamed Yi. But the troops standing behind the camp in front of him will not be fake, vague, but they still let Gu Luo see some situations. Strong barracks, this army guarded the west entrance of this long valley road, not only did they set up a large camp at the west valley entrance, but they dug a dozen ditches in front of the camp, built several fence walls, and countless arrow towers. In addition, two camps were established on the slopes on both sides of the valley mouth, which were condescending and completely occupied the favorable terrain. And the number of this army is really large, under the fluttering flags in the three camps, there are more than 20,000 people. Moreover, the bright light that reflected the sunlight from time to time made Gu Luo's face even more gloomy and ugly, and that army had a lot of iron armor.

There are more than 10,000 people, all over the mountains, boundless and without banks.

At present, the Sui army on the opposite side is indeed all over the mountains. The black pressure stood on the three camps on three sides of the valley mouth.

"Why is the army of the Sui State here, and who is this Yi Feng?"

"I heard that this Yi Feng is the leader of Huaihuang on the dam, he used to be a horse thief, and now he has taken refuge in the Sui State and has been named the governor of Wuzhou, and this Wuzhou is newly established by Huaihuang." A Tongluo officer reported the information that he had managed to find out from among the captives.

"How is this possible?" Gu Luo shouted angrily, he didn't believe this result at all. "If this Yi Feng is just a horse thief, then how could he have to be a general and a county duke, and even let the emperor of the Sui Dynasty deliberately set up a governor state for him? Although I am not very familiar with the affairs of the Han family in the Central Plains, I also know that this general may be false, this county prince may be virtual, but this governor will definitely not be virtual, I heard that the Sui Dynasty has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, but there are only more than 30 governors, if this Yi Feng is just a horse thief, how can he become the governor of a state? And you see, these armies on the other side, do they look like a bunch of horse thieves? I have led the tribal cavalry to the south several times, and I have fought with the Sui Dynasty army more than once, even if it is the elite government soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, they may not be so well equipped. Look at the iron armor, and look at the layout of this camp, this could not be a group of horse thieves. ”

"Could it be the elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty?" Someone was skeptical.

"It's not impossible." Gu Luo had a cold glint in his eyes.

"If it's really the elite of the Sui army, then this may be a trap. Shall we withdraw first? "Someone mentions yì. Although they rode eastward this time, they were not elite, and the plan to send troops was to train and train soldiers, rob some grain, grass, cattle and horses and population, and then suppress and weaken the Xi people, so as to save the situation when they went south next year, these Xi people took advantage of the situation to threaten the tribe. These 10,000 people naturally have no problem dealing with the scattered Xi people, but if they face the 20,000 elite Sui army soldiers, they are not sure. In particular, they didn't know why these Sui people appeared here, and if it wasn't all the Sui troops dispatched here, it would be dangerous. If it is surrounded by the Sui army here, it is possible that none of these tens of thousands of people will be able to go back. Now, they have actually lost almost 10% of their soldiers and horses.

Gu Luo stared at Sui Ying, hesitating in his heart. He was worried that the opposite side was the elite of the Sui army, and he was unwilling to give up the revenge of killing his son and go back like this.

"Maybe the Sui people are just bluffing, otherwise, if they really have more than 20,000 elites, why do they hide in the camp like turtles, why don't they fight?" Someone wondered.

Gu Luo's heart moved, and he also thought of this possibility.

He clenched his fists and said coldly, "Then let's try." (To be continued......)
