"What do you want to know?" The white wolf threw the captured captives on the ground, kicked him awake, and turned to ask Su Zhi. The young first warrior of the Ahui tribe was very proud, although the leopard riders of the Tiele tribe and the Luo tribe were fierce, but he still sneaked into the camp of the leopards lightly, and successfully captured a captive without much effort.

"I want to know the information." Su Zhi stared at the pale-faced captive, "I want to know who the leader of the leopards is this time, how many leopards have come, and what they are coming to do, all of them need to know." ”

The white wolf turned his head and looked at his captive coldly, and he repeated Su Zhi's question to the captor in Tiele language.

The Tongluo captive was already pale, trembling in both hands, with a flattering smile on his face, and reached out to find a piece of beef jerky with the smell of sweat from his arms, and wanted to give it to the white wolf.

"He's going to give him a treat, so you're here to invite you to a banquet?" The people next to him all laughed.

"Honestly, how many leopards are there?"

"A lot."

"How much, exactly?"

Half an hour later, the Tongluo captive, who had been interrogated several times, was finally separated by the white wolf's heavy beheading and fell into the snow. The results of the interrogation were the same as the results they had previously discovered, there were 500 Tongluo scouts in the Songshan camp, and the large army of Tongluo was less than a day's journey away, and this time the Tongluo tribe dispatched 10,000 horses, but it was not the 10,000 elite they imagined. This time, the Tongluo tribe dispatched 10,000 horses, but only 1,000 of them were elite leopard riders, and the other 2,000 were Tongluo warriors who had just reached adulthood. He was accompanied by 7,000 men who were the followers of these 3,000 warriors. According to the poor captive, this expedition with Luo was actually a preparation for the southern attack on Sui next year. It was a trial for the new warriors, and it was also for the next year's expedition to raise some food, grass, and even slaves.

This result surprised Su Zhi a little. If this is true, then the five tribes of the Xi tribe together will be far stronger than the Tongluo people who invaded this time. Even if only the warriors of the Akai tribe were assembled, they were on a par with them. There were 2,000 soldiers and 4,000 auxiliaries. and the five hundred guards around Su Zhi. And this is the territory of the taunting people, if they really want to fight, they are more familiar with the terrain here. They were familiar with every plant and tree, and if necessary, they could call the young and old men of their tribe and even the women of their tribe to fight.

The white wolf wiped the blood stains from his knife and said to Su Zhi, "It's time to do it." It's already the second half of the night. If you don't do it, it's going to be dawn. ”

Su Zhi finally made up his mind, "Let's kill those five hundred leopard riders first." ”

The sky was slightly bright, the wake-up call sounded on time, and in the fortified camp surrounded by chariots and fences, the soldiers of the Huaihuang Army woke up.

After one night, the outside world changed dramatically, and it was covered in silver. Heaven and earth were white everywhere, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. The temperature has also dropped dramatically. Moreover, the morning was foggy, and there was no longer a figure to be seen ten paces away.

"It's foggy." Yi Feng sighed, as if he heard the sound of the gas quickly condensing into ice in the air.

"The snow on the ground is also thick, and we have to suspend our march." Wei Zheng walked over like a rice dumpling wrapped all over his body.

Most of the soldiers of the Huaihuang Army are people living in the frontier, it is no problem to march in such a climate, the most troublesome thing is the chariots and supply vehicles of the Huaihuang Army, fog and snow, which will make the march difficult, and now it has entered the Xi realm, maybe it may encounter the Tiele people who are heading south at any time, and you need to be cautious at this time.

"Where are we?" Yi Feng asked.

"Call the young patriarch of the Ahui tribe and ask."

Kedu met the Huaihuang army yesterday, although he was reluctant, but in the end he obeyed his father's arrangement, and led a team of tribal warriors to gallop south to the Great Wall to move the Sui State to rescue the soldiers. Then yesterday, he and his team of warriors were captured by Zhang Jin's cavalry scout group. Fortunately, he was quick to identify himself, and he was finally confirmed.

Since yesterday he got the personal meeting of the governor of Wuzhou of Sui State, Kedu's heart was full of excitement at this time. He didn't expect that the task given to him by his father had been completed so quickly, and what was even more unexpected was that the Wuzhou governor of the Sui State not only personally led the army to come to the rescue, but also brought so many people. There were 20,000 Central Plains warriors, and these Central Plains warriors had strong armor and sharp weapons, especially the 200 huge and sturdy chariots, which made him even more full of awe for the Central Plains Sui Kingdom. And the commander commanded such a 20,000-strong elite army to go north to rescue the Xi people, Marshal Yi Feng, although he was so young, he also respected him very much. Hearing Yi Feng's summons, he quickly rushed to the banner.

"We have crossed the Xiaoluan River yesterday, not far in front of the Liuhe River, after the Liuhe River is Songshan, and in front of the Luoma River is the Luoma River. If a fast horse gallops, it will take a day and a night. "Codo is familiar with this road, and he is the same road he took when he came.

Several young soldiers under Wei Zheng immediately took out the map, corrected it according to Kedu's words on the very rudimentary map, and then quickly drew the route and calculated the distance.

"About two hundred and fifty miles, if at the current pace of marching, thirty miles a day, it will take at least seven days!"

Kedu was a little anxious when he heard this, "Yi Shuai, when my father sent me, the Tongluo people were only three days away from the Songshan camp, and I met Yi Shuai's army after galloping south for two days, and it was already the third day now. At this time, maybe the Tongluo people have already arrived in Songshan, and they ask the commander to rescue our clan quickly, and I am afraid that it will be too late if it is too late. ”

"If the light cavalry rescues, we will be able to reach Songshan in one day and one night, and I am willing to lead the cavalry battalion to the rescue first." Shan Xiongxin mentioned yì said.

"Nope." Yi Feng refused without hesitation. "The cavalry battalion can indeed gallop three hundred miles in one day and one night, and after you can rush to Songshan at such a speed, you have no combat effectiveness at all. What's more, we don't know the situation in Matsuyama now, and you rushed to the rescue like this, not to rescue, but to take risks. Yi Feng will not forget the purpose and reason for him to send troops north, this time. The purpose is to prevent the Tiele people from killing to the wilderness. Going north to rescue Xi and Khitan was actually more about uniting the forces of these two clans and letting them help Huaihuang block the iron horses of the Tiele people from going south. Rescue is not the goal. Blocking Tieler is the only one who is. The cart cannot be reversed, and reckless actions will only put the Huaihuang army in danger.

"Kedu, you tell Ben Shuai again what Su Zhijin said to you." Yi Feng said to Kedu. He needed to judge the current situation of the ministry in order to make his own plan of action.

After carefully listening to Kedu's words, Yi Feng breathed a sigh of relief. From Kedu's words, he could tell that Su Zhi was not a reckless person. On the contrary, he is a cautious person. Since Su Zhi heard the news that the Tongluo people were heading south, he immediately retreated and hid in the Songshan forest, and at the same time went to gather the Xi tribes. On the other hand, he sent his son Kedu south to ask for help, and judging from these arrangements, Su Zhi was a cautious person who planned and then acted. Since this is the case, then even if you invade the Xi realm with Luo Wan. There will not be much danger for the time being.

"Zhang Jin said!"

"The end will be."

"You immediately rode to Songshan with the young patriarch of Kedu. The situation in Matsuyama will be reported to the truth. ”

"Yes."

After arranging for Zhang Jincheng to inquire about further details, Yi Feng pointed to the location on the west side of Songshan Mountain in the atlas.

"We're going to set up camp here." It is located in the middle of the current Huaihuang Army camp and Songshan camp, about a hundred miles away. Moreover, the terrain here is unique, and it is the only way to enter Huaihuang from Matsuyama. And this place is located in the valley of the Songshan Mountains, the terrain is also very dangerous, as long as the Huaihuang army occupies here, then the disadvantage of the lack of cavalry will be greatly compensated, and the advantages of the Huaihuang army's chariots and longbowmen can be fully utilized. What's more. If you occupy this place, you can wait for work. Regardless of whether Suzhi was defeated by the Tongluo people or not. Yi Feng didn't plan to continue north, he just stayed here. If the Su branch is defeated, then let Zhang Jincheng lead the remnants of the Su branch south, and the Huaihuang army will block the Tongluo people here. If the strength of the Su branch is well preserved, then it is still possible to let the Su branch go south to converge, and everyone is still here to face the Tongluo people. If the Tongluo people came, the Huaihuang army would occupy a favorable terrain and would naturally be able to fight a prepared battle. If the Tongluo people do not come, then the Huaihuang army has also achieved the purpose of this expedition.

After Zhang Jin said that He Kedu led more than 100 horsemen to leave, Yi Feng also continued to go north with a large army. Although the weather was harsh and the roads were covered with snow, Yi Feng still insisted on marching.

Wei Zheng and the staff officers of the battalion staff department formed by Wei Zheng and his subordinates who were selected and transferred were also working at full strength. Yi Feng's choice of the Erdaogou River valley southwest of Songshan as his destination is indeed a deliberate result. To the southwest of Songshan, there are all mountain areas, and the narrow river valley between the mountains forms a series of passages, connecting the dam. However, the east side of Songshan is a relatively open plain, which is the impact of the Raole River on the plain, the Raole River flows northward, and finally joins the weak Luoshui of the Khitan, all the way to the east, and finally goes south, that is, the Liao River. In later generations, the Raoleshui of the Xi people was the Tuha River, and the weak Luoshui of the Khitan people was the Shalamulun River, which became the West Liao River after confluence, and the Liao River merged with the East Liao River to form the Liao River.

The Matsuyama Camp, which is occupied by the Akaibu, is important because it is the eastern exit of the valley of the various valleys. However, Yi Feng only needs to hold the two ditches, the northernmost ditch leads directly to the dam, and these valleys in the south basically lead to the Yanshan Mountains, to be exact, to Youzhou. To the southeast, it leads directly to Yingzhou in western Liaoning. But whether it leads to secluded, sandalwood, Xuan, Ping, or camp, Yi Feng doesn't matter. As long as he didn't let the Tiele people get the supply of cattle, sheep, grain and grass from the Xi people after breaking the Xi people, and then drive the Xi people down the second ditch into the dam.

Three days later, the 20,000 Huaihuang army finally reached the west end of Songshan Mountain.

Before the men and horses had time to rest, a scout rode back at a gallop and brought back a military intelligence report from Zhang Jincheng.

"The plan of the Xi people to lure the enemy with the Luo people in the Ahui Department was defeated. Su Zhizheng led the defeated troops to retreat to Erdaogou, and pursued with the Luo cavalry, in close pursuit. ”

The soldiers and horses of the Xi clan Ahui Department and Tiele Tongluo Department were about to arrive one after another, and this news made Yi Feng's brows furrow.

"Stop resting, immediately build a barracks, and prepare to meet the enemy!" After Yi Feng handed the letter to Wei Zheng and the others to circulate, he immediately ordered. He was surprised by the rapid defeat of the Xi people, the battle was inevitable, and it was time to review the combat strength of the Huaihuang army.
