Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In Huaihuang Town, a scene before the Great War, the grazing cattle and sheep are now all in captivity in the walls of sheep and horses in the city.

Hearing that the Turks were attacking together, the Khitans might join forces to attack, and the garrison of Huaihuang Town accelerated their speed and built the city wall overnight.

At present, only the southern wall is left with a few gaps, and the eastern, western, and northern walls are already strong, and they are built like copper walls.

Eto was to build a yƬ to Li Chongjiu, take all the horses with him, and concentrate all his efforts on destroying the Turkic Ayu tribe.

Inhefer also felt that it was not very sure that 600 horsemen would attack the tribe of 10,000 people.

However, Li Chongjiu believed that the infantry army would not have much effect on going forward to attack for a long distance, and if the 600 cavalry could not succeed, the same would be true for the 800 men.

So he ordered Tanzong to defend the city in the city, and he ordered three regiments of cavalry to go out of the city at noon.

Eto led his 100 cavalry and led the way in front, and his three regiments of cavalry were in the rear.

In the evening, the six hundred cavalry went into a bush to rest in hiding.

In order to maintain horsepower, the light cavalry is all configured with one person and two horses, and the armor cavalry is even equipped with one person and three horses, you must know that a pair of Mingguang armor is at least thirty catties or more, and there is a special auxiliary horse to place the armor.

The soldiers rested in the dense forest, closed their eyes and rested at the right time, or fed the war horses with cloth troughs, or raised a small fire, covered with cloth on all sides, and put the Sui knife on the fire to smoke it, and blackened both sides.

As for the march, it is a basic rule that orders are forbidden, and no voices are allowed to speak at will.

The Han people are obedient, while the Xi people are less disciplined, but under the military law of stick whipping, they have also been much more restrained.

After a month of getting along, both Xi and Han people have gradually become accustomed to fighting with each other, and have developed a certain tacit understanding, so it is better to reject each other at the beginning.

When camping, Li Chongjiu wanted to send cavalry to search for the camp where Ah Fall's department was located.

But he was stopped by Eto's motion.

Eto said angrily: "This Han general, you really don't know how to march on the grassland. ā€

"It's all plains, if we send people to search and are discovered by the Turks, isn't this the intention of our sneak attack to be exposed to the Turks?"

Li Chongjiu listened and looked at Ying Hefu, and the other party also nodded, thinking that this was the case.

"What if the Turks move away from the camp you saw yesterday? We're not running empty. ā€

"Absolutely not, it is a high-class pasture, the Alu tribe has migrated here for a long time, and the horses and livestock must be given plenty of rest, so that it is more conducive to fighting, and during this time, they will never leave."

Li Chongjiu listened to Eto's words very resolutely, and said with a smile: "In that case, I'd better listen to your opinions." ā€

Eto said to Li Chongjiu and Yinghefu: "The camp of the Ayu Division, within fifteen miles from here, if it approaches during the day, it will inevitably be discovered by its scouts, so only by acting at night and suddenly rushing can the battle be successful." ā€

Ying Hefu nodded, and said: "Tonight is the last quarter moon, we will set off on the third watch, and when we arrive at the lodging place of the Aqiu Department at dawn, we will be able to kill them by surprise." ā€

After the people had deliberated, they decided to act according to the plan of the Trust.

Six hundred cavalry, plus a hundred horsemen, rested for half the night, until a crescent moon had risen in the east.

All armored cavalry cavalry have removed the bright light armor for sneak attacks at night. Wearing bright light armor that is easy to reflect is the same as not blackening the knife, both of which are self-defeating.

After that, the horses were clamped, the hooves were wrapped in cloth, and a group of cavalry rode war horses and hurried all night.

After walking until dawn, after seeing a large tribal camp with torches lit in the hazy night, everyone knew that they were close to their goal.

At that moment all the cavalry dismounted together, walked to the sand willow field near the camp, changed horses, and made a final rest.

In the night breeze, torches flickered.

In the camp of the Aqiu Division, the soldiers who were on duty at night were at their most tired.

"Very good, the people of the Ah Fall Department, they never expected that we would attack the camp at this time, and they were completely unprepared." Eto said with a happy face.

At that moment, Eto turned around and said proudly: "Han general, Ying Hefu, I am willing to lead my subordinates to rush into the camp first, and you will follow me to cover up and kill." ā€

As soon as Ying Hefu was about to speak, Li Chongjiu preemptively said, "How can this be done?" ā€

Eto said angrily: "You Han people are mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law, do you all think that we are afraid of death like you?" ā€

Hearing Eto say this, Li Chongjiu and Ying Hefu were not good at talking anymore, so they decided that Eto would be in the front.

When Eto was about to turn over and get on the horse, Li Chongjiu suddenly said: "Slow! ā€

Inghefer and Eto were all surprised. Eto said angrily: "Han general, what are you doing? ā€

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "The time has not come, then my subordinates will rest for a while!" ā€

"You Han people, it's really troublesome." Eto said angrily, dismounted again, and sat down on the side with a disgruntled face.

Then Eto urged again twice, but Li Chongjiu refused to allow it.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter at this time, Wang Mahan suddenly stepped forward and came to Li Chongjiu's side to whisper a few words.

Li Chongjiu's eyes were cold when he heard this, and he immediately said, "Eto, you can prepare to attack." ā€

Eto snorted coldly when he heard this, turned around and was about to get on the horse, but at this time, Li Chongjiu suddenly pulled out his knife and slashed at Eto.

I saw a flash of the knife, and this time the rabbit rose and fell, and it was extremely fast.

Ying Hefu and everyone else who was close to him did not react, only to see Li Chongjiu slashed down alive.

In a hurry, Eto seemed to open his eyes behind his back, and actually stabbed Li Chongjiu with a knife.

"What are you doing?"

Bang!

Everyone around them didn't know why, they all drew their swords, and they didn't know who was the enemy or the friend for a while.

Inghefer stepped forward, pressed the knife, and looked at the forehead with a calm face.

I saw Li Chongjiu pointing his hand and asking, "Is it the Khitans or the Turks who instructed you to trick us into robbing the camp?" ā€

All eyes were on Eto.

Etoden showed an angry expression, and said with a smile: "Han general, that's right, I'm Neiying, you kill me!" ā€

At that moment, he threw the knife heavily on the ground.

Ying Hefu hurriedly stopped in front of Li Chongjiu and said, "General, Eto is my best brother, loyal to the clan, and will never betray us. ā€

At the moment, several Xi people also nodded in agreement.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "At this moment, you are still cheating, okay, I will let you die willingly." Do you know what suspicions you just revealed? ā€

"You said that the Khitans were going to attack us, but you heard the news, and you took the opportunity to report that on the way to inform us, you found the camp of the Aqiu Division, isn't it too coincidental?"

"Okay, this is a coincidence, but you mentioned before that if you are close to the camp of the Fall Tribes during the day, you are likely to be discovered by the scouts, and how did you detect the camp of the Fall Tribes during the day and not be discovered by the other party's scouts? And must conclude that it is a fall department? ā€

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Of course, the last thing you should do is to let a subordinate prepare to secretly leave here and report to the Turks, but I arranged for your subordinates to secretly keep an eye on you." ā€

When Li Chongjiu said this last sentence, a large number of Khitan cavalry quietly appeared under Huaihuang City.
