Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The autumn wind is bleak, the spring and autumn seasons on the grassland are short, and the long winter is five or six months.
The voice of the steppe wolf, one after another, sounded leisurely, preparing for a day of hunting, so as to fill the stomach before the winter.
The sappers on the hillside have also crawled out of their holes, looking for food for the winter, and the sand grouse is fluttering its wings in the grass, jumping from side to side.
Wearing a yellow sheepskin jacket, carrying a hunting bow on his back, and carrying a few sand pheasants on his shoulders, Chen Ke walked leisurely on the path that a person stepped out of the forest.
Chen Ke came to a high hill in the forest, this small hill was the highest place near Huaihuang Town.
Here, the Cangtou army built a five- or six-zhang high beacon tower with a huge tree, and a group of garrisons were stationed, where you could overlook the movements within a radius of ten miles. And Chen Ke himself is the head of the sentry post, speaking of which Chen Kenai was born in 7,000 villages, and Li Chongjiu was a disciple of Shaolin Temple to learn art.
Most of these people have been promoted to team leaders and brigade leaders in the Cangtou army.
And Chen Ke is steady, brave and strategic, and he is most trusted by Li Chongjiu, but now he is temporarily selected as the captain of this important place, and sooner or later he will be promoted, and Chen Ke's soldiers are also strong and capable.
"Head! You see, there's movement in the distance! ”
Chen Ke had just peeled off the belly of the sand grouse and taken out the internal organs, and as soon as he heard the warning, he immediately climbed the escalator of the watchtower.
Chen Ke looked at it for a while, and immediately shouted to the below: "Put a bunch of wolf smoke!" ”
At that moment, the two garrisons who had already prepared immediately lit the wolf smoke that had been prepared on the side.
At this moment, Li Chongjiu was in a grassland, leading two hundred horsemen to rush forward.
The armored horsemen moved their saddles from their drums, turned sideways one by one, and slashed at the scarecrows lined up one by one!
The horses swarmed by, and in an instant, dozens of scarecrows were folded to the ground.
After a round of rushing, one of the armored horsemen said: "General, look at the wolf smoke on the mountain!" ”
Li Chongjiu reined in his war horse and looked up, only to see a wolf smoke on the side of his right ear rushing straight into the sky.
"Don't worry!" Li Chongjiu said to the left and right armor riders who were all facing the enemy.
This wolf smoke signal is also divided into grades, such as a pile of wolf smoke, which means that the number of riders is near one or two hundred cavalry.
If there are two wolf smokes, it means that the strength of the horse is evenly matched with Huaihuang Town, and the people of the whole city are going to enter the city to take refuge.
If it is three wolf smokes, then the situation is critical, indicating that the other party is coming in countless numbers, far exceeding the military strength of Huaihuang Town.
These signal signs, except for the rank of lieutenant, ordinary soldiers will not tell them. Li Chongjiu greeted, and the two hundred armor rode towards the beacon tower together.
At this time, King Mahan and Inghofer also arrived with two regiments of cavalry.
I saw a cavalry of more than 100 people from Anguli Naohu Lake slowly moving towards here, these cavalry saddles all have bows and arrows, and Hululi's arrows are also full, obviously with a certain combat power.
As soon as Li Chongjiu and the three of them discussed, a regiment of light cavalry led by Ying Hefu dismounted and lay in ambush among the trees beside the road, holding hard bows, ready to ambush this group of cavalry.
Li Chongjiu led the armored cavalry to set up a formation in the open field to block the road, while Wang Mahan led a regiment of cavalry to outflank the road and cut off the road behind.
Just as the cavalry was approaching, Inghefer, who had been lying in ambush among the trees, suddenly roared and galloped out on his horse.
I saw that the other horseman was the leader, a big man wearing a black wolf skin, and he was stunned for a while when he saw Yinghefu.
After a while, he suddenly recognized the other party's appearance, and shouted his name, turned over and dismounted, and the two big men hugged each other.
At this moment, all the cavalry also knew that this group of cavalry was a friend and not an enemy, and they put down their bows and arrows one after another, and a smile appeared on their faces.
At that moment, Ying Hefu came to Li Chongjiu with this big man, and said: "General, this is my good brother Eto, a first-class good man on the grassland, and he is here to bring us an urgent news of 100,000 yuan. ”
The big man, named Eto, glanced at Li Chongjiu suspiciously, and said in Turkic language: "Han? ”
Li Chongjiu smiled, bowed, and said in Turkic language: "Yes, my distant friend, welcome to your arrival." ”
Eto glanced at Li Chongjiu, showed a look of vigilance, and said bluntly: "I can't trust the Han people." ”
Ying Hefu grabbed Eto's shoulders and said: "The general is not an ordinary Han man, he is a warrior who shoots arrows among the 200,000 Turkic iron horsemen, and was named the champion by the Great Sui Emperor, a real hero on the grassland!" ”
After hearing this, Eto showed a somewhat surprised look, glanced at Li Chongjiu again, and still said: "I don't believe it, how can there be such a character among the Han people, I only believe what I see with my own eyes." ”
Li Chongjiu smiled, looked at Ying He Fuyan and said, "What is the 100,000 urgent news?" ”
Yinghe Fu said: "General, after our Mudexi was defeated by the Khitan, in addition to some of our clansmen, who guarded Tong Jin to the south to hide, there were also some clansmen who stayed in the homeland of Wuhou Qinshui and endured the oppression of the Khitans. ”
"And this time my brother stayed in the homeland of Wuhou Qinshui, and the latter Khitan high-ranking official got drunk and confided the news, saying that their Khitan people were ready to form an alliance with the Aqiu tribe to completely wipe out our Xi people. Therefore, he took part of his tribesmen and escaped from the Khitans to warn us. ”
It seems that the people of the Xi Department also have people who are in Cao Ying's heart in Han, Li Chongjiu made such an evaluation, and asked at the moment: "How many soldiers and horses are the Khitan ready to dispatch?" ”
Eto said, "At least three thousand horsemen." ”
Ruo'a fell to mobilize 3,000 cavalry, and the Khitans gathered another 3,000 cavalry, a total of 6,000 cavalry, so the strength far exceeded the 800 soldiers in Huaihuang Town.
Eto put his arm around Inghefer's shoulders and said, "On my way here, I saw the White Horse Daxu of the Aqiu Division, and they are all dispatched, and it is estimated that they are only two days away from here. ”
And at this time, Eto, Ying Hefu and the two of you, you say a word, I say a word, talking about the situation of the A Fall Department, although the enemy army is strong, but the two Xi big men have no fear at all.
"General, what do you say?" Ingavi said at the moment.
Eto also stopped talking and looked at Li Chongjiu.
Li Chongjiu thought for a moment and said: "We must not let the Khitans join the Turks, and now that the Aqiu tribe is migrating to Huaihuang Town, we never expected that we would have known their intentions in advance, and where they were stationed, and they were not wary of us." ”
"So we have the intention to preemptively attack them and take advantage of this opportunity to surprise them."
Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, Ying Hefu and Eto both nodded happily, obviously they had this plan in their hearts, and their own opinions coincided with theirs.
This plan was bold, with 600 cavalry to attack a tribe of tens of thousands of people, which was really dangerous.
