"If he dares to come, he will be buried in the ravine under this Zhangjiabao!" Hearing what Wang Fubao said for sure, the generals immediately rubbed their fists and shook their hands. There was Li Xu's night attack on the enemy camp in Liuhuahe, and the example of 15,000 soldiers breaking the enemy of more than 100,000 was placed in front of him, and everyone's confidence in victory increased sharply. They all feel that the so-called Turkic wolf cavalry, the combat effectiveness is just like that, at best it is similar to the bandits wandering in various states and counties, and when they meet the officials and soldiers who are armed to the teeth, they will definitely return home.

"The cavalry who took the lead in finding the way for Toru was not elite. Don't underestimate the combat power of the Turkic Wolf Rider! In order to prevent everyone from taking the upcoming battle too lightly, Li Xu had no choice but to emphasize what he had said to Zhou Daniu and others in public again.

"That, that's called Ah, Ah what kind of blue, isn't his cavalry not elite?" Wang Fubao paused very obviously and asked hesitantly.

Although the warriors of the Xia tribe led by Ah Silan did not have a chance to formally engage the defenders on the Great Wall, the main generals who stayed behind had seen the heroic posture of the herdsmen galloping from afar. Compared with the elite of Boling, the other party's military appearance and military discipline may be worse. But in terms of the ability to control the horses, the physical condition of the soldiers, and the ability of the generals to control the soldiers, the strength of this team is by no means worse than the same number of Hedong soldiers and horses. Compared with the 30,000 Dou family troops under Wang Fubao's command who had just changed their clothes, their combat effectiveness was even more than a little higher.

"Zhong Jian has fought with wolf riding, you might as well tell everyone about its characteristics in detail!" Li Jiancheng sat up straight and suggested loudly.

He remembered that in the Battle of Yanmen, the Flying Tiger Army under the command of his second brother Shimin had fought a battle with the defeated Turkic wolf cavalry. According to the generals who participated in that battle, the Turks behaved very ordinarily. But the Flying Tiger Army belongs to the elite of the elite in the Li family in Hedong, and it is not at the same level as the soldiers and horses he is bringing at the moment. According to his observations the other day, the cavalry of Aslan's department was already very difficult to deal with. If Aslan's troops can only be regarded as miscellaneous soldiers who are exploring the way, then the regular army under Gu Turu is even more troublesome.

Li Xu nodded, his face facing Li Jiancheng and Wang Fubao, but his voice was raised so that everyone could hear it clearly. "The wolf cavalry is mainly composed of Turks, and it is formed by gathering the elites of various tribes who are friendly with the Turks. The soldiers were very strong and extremely skilled in bows and horses. The cavalry you saw a few days ago was a warrior from all tribes of the Xia tribe, and its training and equipment were not as good as the wolf cavalry. Of the entire tribes of the Sultan, only the more than 1,000 cavalry of the Su Si tribe are currently qualified to be in parallel with Gu Turu's brigade. And that cavalry was trained by Xu Maogong for the Su Si Department back then, and he once wiped out the entire Suotou Xi clan in a battle! And according to my estimates, in this team, it is likely that there will be siege weapons from the Central Plains! ”

"Shhh Listening to Li Xu's words, the generals couldn't help but gasp. Among the tens of thousands of warriors of the Haze Clan, Gu Turu only selected more than a thousand people to join his team, so it can be calculated that the wolf rider is almost the same, if not one in a hundred, if it cannot be said to be one in a hundred. The other side claimed to have 400,000 soldiers and horses, and the defenders on the Great Wall were only 130,000 when they were full, so the difficulty of this battle can be imagined.

"But the steppe army has a very big weakness, that is, the morale cannot last." Li Xu had no intention of lowering his morale too low, and after achieving the purpose of reminding everyone, he immediately began to analyze the weaknesses of the wolf rider, "If the battle is smooth, they are all not afraid of death, and if they suffer a big defeat, they will be crushed for thousands of miles, and it will be difficult to assemble again." Therefore, in the first battle, we must fight hard and fight the majesty of Gu Toru first! ”

"Didn't the general say that they were skilled in bowing and horses? How can I give him a slap in the face? ”

"They are strong and numerous. How can you win it? ”

The soldiers under Wang Fubao's command are not highly trained, but they are quite bold. Hearing Li Xu say that he wanted to stop the majesty of Gu Tolu, he immediately asked gossiping.

"The foot of the Great Wall is mostly mountainous, and even the few valleys that enter the wall cannot allow the cavalry to fully deploy. So as long as we are properly staffed, it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of the wolf riding horse! Li Xu nodded approvingly to everyone and continued to explain. Second, when it comes to the surrounding terrain, we are far more familiar with it than wolf riders. Attacking from the side by surprise can also do some wonders! ”

"Third, it depends on whether Gu Toru can always let the warriors of the other departments be of the same mind as him. The warriors of all tribes came to reap the benefits, and he had been delayed on the road for so long, and he had not shared any benefits with everyone, which had already made the warriors of all tribes very dissatisfied. If they are separated on the battlefield, it will be difficult for the various departments not to retreat."

"In that case, this battle still has to be fought!" After listening to Li Xu's analysis, the elder Shi Chen Yanshou commented with a smile. As soon as his words changed, he turned the conversation back to Su Si's department, "The general said that Su Si warriors trained Xu Maogong himself, what is going on?" ”

"It's a long story!" Li Xu straightened out his thoughts and replied slowly. "Back then, Mao Gong and I went to Liuluowai and spent the winter in Susibu. And in the winter of that year, it happened that Suotou Xibu was seized of the grassland by the Turks, and he had to fight the idea of the Suzu grassland. In order to avoid suffering from the pond fish, Mao Gong helped Su Sibu train a group of samurai. And this group of warriors later became the helpers of the Su Si tribe to compete for the position of the Great Khan of the Xi tribes."

Most of the generals present only knew that Li Xu was a young man, and he quickly jumped up from the position of a team like a kite, and in the blink of an eye, he became the head of the Boling Army. But he didn't expect that before entering the army, he and Xu Maogong had such a legendary experience. Therefore, they listened to it with relish. Especially the paragraph about Xu Maogong's rebirth of the cavalry of the Xia clan in only four months, it is even more dazzling. I can't wait to be at the scene at that time and translocate with Xu Maogong.

But careful people such as Chen Yanshou and others inferred from a few words that Li Xu did not tell all the past clearly. Back then, he had also heard a little about Li Xu's past in the mansion of Tang Duke Li Yuan, so he had no intention of dwelling on the details. I just think that even if the truth is as Li Xu said, that is, the group of warriors of the Su Si Department have mastered the war skills of the Central Plains, why are all the wolf riders as strong as the Su Si Bu warriors? Besides, the Turks have never liked to build cities, why is Li Xu sure that they will carry siege weapons from the Central Plains?

When he raised the last question, he quickly got the answer from Xuzi's words. "The Turkic wolf rode last time because there was no siege equipment, and they couldn't attack Yanmen for a long time, and they suffered a big loss in the hands of King Qin's soldiers and horses. Therefore, they will inevitably learn the lesson of the last time and carry a large number of sharp weapons. Otherwise, Gutoru's brigade should not have marched so slowly! ”

"Grandma's, it's very difficult to make those sharp weapons in the army, where did the Turks learn it?" Wang Fubao asked very skeptically based on his own experience.

Even for the Dou family's army, the siege weapons are very simple. It's not that Dou Jiande is reluctant to spend money to make those catapults, wells, crashes, and siege ladders, etc., but that few folk craftsmen have mastered the manufacturing methods of these weapons. Even if it is made in front of it, the actual combat effect is far inferior to the original equipment of the Great Sui military.

"Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and others are all generals of our Great Sui Border Army!" Li Xu smiled bitterly, "The counties of Mayi and Loufu themselves have a large number of craftsmen accompanying the army. In addition, Su Sibu Da Aijin's wife is from Jiangnan, and she can draw a lot of Central Plains instruments! ”

"How can there be such a woman in the Su Si Department?!!" Everyone was stunned again and asked in surprise. There are many women in the Central Plains who married into Ashina's family, but they were all daughters of royal relatives. When it comes to political skills, all of them are top-notch. When it comes to ordnance manufacturing, these lowly craftsmen can only do rough work, and they almost don't know anything. Therefore, the news that Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, and others sold the secrets of instrument manufacturing to the Turks can be trusted. How could a woman from Jiangnan know so many secrets in the army?!

Li Xu shook his head and continued to smile bitterly, "She is not an ordinary Jiangnan woman. According to my inference, her surname is Chen, and she is an important chess piece sent by the Chen family in Jiangnan to the Turkic marriage nearly thirty years ago, trying to contain the Great Sui from behind! ”

"Ahh "Oh!" Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. Thirty years ago, Nan Chen sent a woman to Saishang to contact the Turks. The national hatred and family feud that have been suppressed for nearly 30 years are even more uncontrollable when they erupt. It is no wonder that the Su Sibu had close trade contacts with the Central Plains, but they had to step on the southward chariot of the Turks. No wonder Gu Tulu and the others went south and put on a posture of preparing to completely destroy the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

"What is the origin of that woman, can you tell us more clearly?" After a while, Chen Yanshou was the first to recover from the shock and asked in a low voice.

"How could I have listened to these things!" Li Xu continued to shake his head, "I just found out that the camp layout of the Su Si Department is very similar to the fortress in the Central Plains. There are also arrow towers and ballistas at key points. And the means of pickling winter vegetables and storing grain and dried meat in the Su Sibu are also far stronger than those of the surrounding tribes. The shepherds recognized that they were able to rise quickly because of the woman surnamed Chen! ”

Including cruel methods against people. Quietly, Li Xu added in his heart. Now, he can conclude with great certainty that the strategy of forcing himself away and marrying the Ashina family with Tao Kuo Desilk as a link also came from Chen Wanqing. Only she, who bears the hatred of the country and the family, needs to be close to the Ashina family the most. Only when she is familiar with the habits of the two peoples of the Central Plains and the grassland, will she be able to calculate the final choice between herself and Tao Kuodesi.

"Da Chen has been dead for almost 30 years. This woman is really grandma's patient! After listening to Li Xu's words, Wang Fubao sighed and said with emotion.

"Hate, it doesn't necessarily need to be born. But it always lasts longer than other feelings! Li Jiancheng sighed and added quietly.
