Under a gloomy sky.

On the snowy wilderness, the two armies chased after me, and the war horses trampled on countless snowflakes and flew in the wind, like a giant dragon rolling forward, fierce and murderous.

A rain of arrows came, the pursuers lowered their bodies, screamed angrily, their bows and arrows could not reach the opponent, they were aggrieved, a pair of angry eyes stared ahead, hating to bite off a piece of meat from the opponent, and they didn't find the corpses on both sides, and a pair of excited eyes were staring.

It is rare to play dead without too high a high level of technology, to get some corpses to press, or to get some blood, the most important thing is to lie still on your stomach, and when you see the pursuers who enter the ambush circle, your heart will jump out one by one, and you haven't been discovered?

Can the battle still be fought like this?

At this moment, everyone was no longer worried, nervous, and hated to make a move immediately, their eyes flashed with fiery war intent, and they all stared like wolves and tigers, as if they were lambs to their mouths.

Just after the battle, it was normal to have corpses all over the ground, no one expected that someone would pretend to be dead, the key clothes were almost the same, difficult to identify, and they couldn't care about identification, they were all angry by the opponent in front.

The leader of the chasing army had a cold face, staring at the front, because of the tailwind, he could only be beaten passively all the way, and it was difficult to calm down if he didn't kill the opponent in front of him, and a group of soft eggs who only knew how to run must be taken.

Soon, the leader of the chasing army saw the army waiting in front of him, with a crossbow in his hand, and was immediately surprised, didn't he hit the hedgehog nest headlong? Hurriedly shouted: "Stop—stop!" ”

But the large army let go of the speed and ran wildly, and it was not easy to stop, and the cavalry from behind swarmed, huddled together, and continued to run forward for a distance, and virtually all entered the ambush circle.

The leader of the soldiers pulled his horse and shouted anxiously: "Stop, stop!" ”

However, he was greeted by countless crossbow arrows on both sides, dense as rain, one after another, as if they didn't know how to stop.

The crossbow attacked from the side, it was impossible to prevent it, people kept falling off their horses, screams, roars, endlessly, and the team that was already crowded together was even more chaotic, without speed, the live target was like a living target, and they died faster.

Two thousand people, two thousand repeaters constantly sprayed crossbow arrows, endlessly, even if there was no target, but dense enough to tear some of the people in front of them.

Qin Huaidao saw that the pursuers actually stopped, and there was still some distance from the trapping horse pit formation, beyond the shot, and sighed with some regret, it would be nice if he went further, but the fighter should not be missed, the long knife pointed forward, and shouted: "Spread out, outflank it, shoot-"

"Kill!"

Countless people rushed forward with a roar, lined up in a horizontal line and pushed forward, and the crossbows in their hands continued to fire, and soon, the horizontal team turned into a big bag and headed towards the pursuers, and the arrows rained down.

There were only more than 1,000 chasing soldiers left, and there was no speed, where could they still withstand it, they all turned around and wanted to run, but they were crowded together, unable to move, and dismounted one after another to dodge.

Four thousand men surrounded the pursuers in three directions, and the pursuers could not escape, and some brave men rushed up and tried to fight back, but they were all pressed to the ground by a burst of crossbow arrows, and did not make any waves.

Qin Huaidao looked at this scene, knowing that the overall situation had been decided, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and did not catch up, as a commander, his position was in command, and he had to fight on the front line.

At this time, Fang Yiai said: "General, let me go, right?" ”

"Your identity is General Ben's pro-military captain, you go, who will take the troops?" Qin Huaidao refused, and seeing what he wanted to say, he interrupted: "Take your people to the mountain beam to see if there is any hostility around." ”

"Obey!" Fang Yiai replied with some regret and hurried away with a hundred of his own people.

Li Yixie hurriedly asked his hundred people to surround Qin Huaidao to prevent stray arrows, and looked at the battlefield near the end of the battle in front of him, his eyes were full of envy.

Qin Huaidao could see that Li Yixie also wanted to go to the battlefield to fight and make meritorious contributions, so he didn't care, and asked Xue Feng beside him: "Xue joins the army, how many people are in the Siwandan Department?" ”

"About fifty thousand." Xue Feng hurriedly responded.

Qin Huaidao quickly calculated in his heart, 50,000 people who cut out the elderly and children can't fight, at least there are 20,000 or 30,000 women and teenagers, these people can get on the horse and draw the bow, although the combat effectiveness is average, but it can't be ignored, plus there are still 3,000 soldiers in the tribe, and the Siwandan Department is not without resistance.

One thought flashed through him, Qin Huaidao took out the map and looked at it, thinking about it.

"General, you want to attack the Sibandan Division?" Li Dejian asked curiously.

When Xue Feng heard this, he was also startled, and quickly looked over and asked, "General, are you really fighting?" ”

"You think it's impossible?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

The two exchanged glances, and Li Dejian smiled bitterly: "General, there have been two battles, and the general thinks that it is impossible in each game, but the general has done it, so the general's opinion is not important, the general is just curious about what tactics the general will adopt next." ”

"The last general is also looking forward to it, although there are only more than 3,000 soldiers in the Sivandan Division, but if it is really an attack, tens of thousands of people will jump out on horseback, and everyone is a soldier is not a joke, although the combat effectiveness is average, but the victory is in the number of people, and, if we can take it, the army that went out of the Sivandan Department will definitely come back to chase and kill us." Xue Feng reminded.

"Then it should be even more taken." Qin Huaidao said a word, but his eyes were staring at the map and he was silent.

The life of the Siwan Dan Department is based on the water, the yurt is covered for several miles, tens of thousands of households, and the population is quite large, a bold idea came to his mind, Qin Huaidao smiled, looked up, and found that the battle was over, the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and An Guogong and other generals ran excitedly.

"Hahaha, general, there was a big victory, this battle was fought, happy!" Obsessively shouted excitedly.

"Give the order, clean up the battlefield quickly, don't take prisoners, collect arrows that can be used, and make more rockets for backup." Qin Huaidao said coldly, there can be no mercy on the battlefield, and there will be endless troubles after letting go of the prisoners.

"Obey!" Everyone was stunned, and after this battle, Qin Huaidao's might became higher and higher.

Everyone returned one after another to pass the order, but An Guogong did not leave, and asked: "General, do you want to go first and take down the small tribe that was determined before?" ”

"Don't worry, General Ben has changed his mind." Qin Huaidao said.

"What's next?"

"There is Lao An Guogong to keep an eye on, kill the enemy's war horses, seize grease to make rockets, and clean up the battlefield as soon as possible."

"Obey!" An Guogong didn't ask anything as before, and went in a hurry.

Qin Huaidao didn't explain in detail as before, because the next tactics were simpler and more cruel, so he didn't need to explain more, and took Li Yixie and said: "You also go to help clean up the battlefield, and retrieve the crossbow arrows and feather arrows that can still be used when they are fired, and set them aside." ”

"Obey!" Li Yixie hurriedly agreed and led the troops.

The next battle is more costly and must be prepared in advance.

In about half an hour, the battlefield was cleaned, all the arrows that could be used were collected, the enemy's war horses were also gathered, and the soldiers were assembled and on standby, and the morale was high one by one.

Qin Huaidao came to the front of everyone, his eyes swept over everyone, and he suddenly thought about it, and shouted: "An Guogong, let your people take off the enemy's coat and cover it on the enemy's horse, move quickly." ”

Everyone didn't know why, but they acted quickly.

After the two battles, everyone realized that Qin Huaidao was a general who liked to use tricks, and everything he did must have deep meaning.

It didn't take long for thousands of coats to be stripped off and placed on hundreds of usable war horses to support, Qin Huaidao saw that he was ready, and shouted: "An Guogong, your people are on the left, the forbidden army is on the right, take the casualties of the brothers with this general and set off, eat some dry food on the way, and then there will be a big battle." ”

No matter how good the command is, there will inevitably be casualties in the battle, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

"Obey!" Everyone turned over and got on their horses.

The dry food is a barbecue made by cutting sheep after winning the tribe last night, hidden close to the body, with body temperature to keep warm, and it is not frozen, but the taste is much worse, but I can't take care of it, I take it out one by one and chew it, while hurrying, I am talking to my familiar companions about how many people I shot in the battle just now, and I am very excited.

Qin Huaidao asked Fang Yiai to lead people to reconnoiter in front, sharpen this guy's impatient temperament, and lead the troops to slow down in the back, so that everyone could eat something to recover their strength.

After most of the market, the team came to a hillside, in front of which was the Sivan Danbu, with a wide view and an unobstructed view, and the yurts stretched like small flowers blooming on the vast snow, and the smoke curled up, and the river was frozen, but many people smashed the ice to get water.

"General, really attack the Sibandan Division?" An Guogong immediately came to ask him.

"Do you think it's wrong?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"No, the general has already made up his mind, if there is a way, I will wait for the order."

Qin Huaidao glanced at the other party in some surprise, this change is a bit big, An Guogong smiled: "The general's soldiers are superb, the tactics are incredible, and the way of pretending to be dead can be imagined, and it is successful, the old man is ashamed of himself, and he is willing to obey the command." ”

"Do you see the disadvantages of the Sibanten tribe?" Qin Huaidao asked, pointing to the dismount.

An Guogong looked ahead, shook his head and said: "It's no different from other tribes, if you want to talk about weakness, it is that there is no defense, but there are many people, once a war starts, weakness is not necessarily weakness, it will drag us to death." ”

"If you attack it, you will definitely be dragged to death."

"Don't attack it?" An Guogong was a little surprised.

Qin Huaidao looked at the many brothers around him, and his eyes finally fell on Li Dejian: "Brother Shi, do you see any flaws in the Xiwandan Department?" ”

"I don't see it, they are a group of wolves who live quietly, and once someone invades, they will fry the pot, swarm out, and bite the enemy to death in the future." Li Dejian said truthfully.

"Wolves? No, they are a flock of sheep at best. Qin Huaidao smiled confidently.

Everyone is confused, how can a tribe with a population of tens of thousands be sheep, the people on the grassland can be different from the Central Plains, survive in the harsh natural environment, and have developed a dare to fight, warlike character since childhood, skilled in bows and arrows, extraordinary equestrianism, on the horse for the soldiers, off the horse for the people.

Qin Huaidao didn't explain, he looked at the tribe in front of him, the distance was a little far, and he hadn't found anything abnormal, his face was grim, and he shouted: "An Guogong, divide your troops into three roads, one thousand each, and temporarily hand them over to the command of the three brothers of the Cheng family, no problem, right?" ”

When An Guogong heard that he wanted to seize command, he was a little unwilling.

If it was before, he would have jumped out to oppose it directly, but after two consecutive wars, An Guogong was a little more convinced by Qin Huaidao, and he was the main general, and the military order was like a mountain, so he had to say: "No problem, everything is according to the general's order." ”

Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Chumo, it was very troublesome to command without satellite maps, hesitated for a moment, but took out paper and charcoal again, sketched the general appearance of the surrounding terrain in three or two, pointed to one place and said, "Chumo." ”

"In!" Cheng Chumo hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the drawings.

"You bring a thousand men over, bring a hundred captured war horses, and when you arrive at the position, you see my banner, and the battle flag is raised, and then you will lead your troops to attack, set fire to the clothes held by the captured war horses, cut down the horses, and drive them to the Siwandan tribe, and you must not rush into the tribe, but only on the periphery." Qin Huaidao said and drew an arc route.

"Similar to the twin snake strangulation tactics?" Cheng Chumo asked.

"No, this is called the sparrow tactics, scattered and rushed up to release rockets, burn the Bandan Department for me, you are in the upwind outlet, the fire is fast, once the enemy comes out to pursue, quickly retreat, run along the upwind outlet, keep a distance like just now, drag the pursuers to death, and then return, continue to attack, and so on, if there are too many chasing soldiers, lead as far as possible, get rid of them and come to converge."

"Obey!" Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up.

"Everywhere is bright."

"In!" Cheng Chuliang hurriedly stepped forward.

"Your eldest brother is attacking the head of the Siwandan Ministry, which will inevitably attract a large number of soldiers to rush to help, and after your eldest brother leads the troops to retreat, you lead people to attack the tail of the Sivandan Ministry, and the Siwandan Department lives by the water, and it is too long, and the long is the weakness, and the tactics are like your eldest brother."

"Obey!" Cheng Chuliang's eyes lit up.

As soon as everyone heard it, it made sense, although there were many people in the Sivandan Department, but the felt room was too long, and it was difficult for the first place to take care of each other, so it was necessary to attack the end after attracting the soldiers to pass, and it was inevitable to defend the emptiness, and it was to attack with rockets, and it was not really attacked, and the losses would be very small, and once the momentum of burning the company camp was formed, it would be able to take it.

At this moment, everyone suddenly understood what Qin Huaidao meant when he asked about any flaws in the Wandan Department just now, and Li Dejian lowered his head in shame, admiring in his heart.

It's also about observing the terrain and making judgments!

Cheng Chubi came up and asked excitedly, "General, what about me?" ”

"You take the rest of the war horses to lurk in the middle of the road, and when your second brother is chased away by the enemy, or the enemy does not chase, hiding in the tribe to shoot arrows and counterattack, you suddenly kill it, the tactics are the same, the head and tail are attacked respectively, the soldiers of the Siwandan Department are attracted away, it is said that the middle must be empty, but you must also be careful and deceitful, do not rush in, whoever leads the troops into the tribe, military law is engaged." Qin Huaidao admonished.

"Obey!" The three of them hurriedly clasped their fists in response.

Li Dejian couldn't help but interject and asked, "General, does this tactic have a name?" The end will be well documented. ”

Qin Huaidao has no name, but if he says it directly, he will seem to be unlevel, and he said: "This tactic is like a sparrow, if someone comes to fight, run, and if no one comes, fly over and steal a mouthful, and so on, until all the food is eaten, running upwind is the key, you can use the wind to make the arrows shoot farther, and the enemy can't shoot us, so it's called the sparrow tactic." ”

Pray in my heart, don't blame the revolutionary martyrs, borrow it.

Everyone has seen sparrows snatching food, think about it carefully, it is really an image, and they have a deeper understanding of Qin Huaidao's tactical essentials, the Cheng brothers left one after another, and An Guogong also hurried over to assist in the division of troops, without An Guogong's order, the three brothers of the Cheng family could not take a single soldier away.

"General, what are the forbidden troops doing?" Yu Chi Baolin hurriedly asked.

Of course, the two thousand forbidden troops can't be idle spectators, otherwise the soldiers will be resentful and scatter the morale of the army, Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "The forbidden army is inferior to the Turks, and it is not suitable for this method of warfare, tell the brothers to get ready, once the time is ripe, give me to rush down like a knife, until the Chinese army tent and take the tribe." ”

"Hahaha, obey!" When Yu Chi Baolin heard that the final decisive battle was handed over to the forbidden army, he was immediately overjoyed, and the two brothers exchanged glances tacitly, and quickly went down to give the order.

"What are we doing?" Fang Yiai is in a hurry.

"Your mission is to keep me safe." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

Fang Yiai was so depressed that his face was pulled down, but the duty of the pro-army was to protect the commander-in-chief, Qin Huaidao looked at Li Yixie: "Lead the troops to scatter the reconnaissance, in all four directions, and expand the scope of the investigation by twenty miles, just in case." ”

Without drones, all intelligence can only rely on people.

If a large army sneaks up on you, the fun will be great.

"Obey." Li Yixie knew the severity and hurried to go.

Qin Huaidao looked at the tribe in front of him and silently calculated the time.

In the tribe, many young men came out on horseback, but they were only on guard on the periphery, and not long after, one person came out with a banner, Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Feng, and Xue Feng quickly explained: "They want to negotiate." ”

"According to the rules, how to talk?" Qin Huaidao asked.

"They should treat us as other tribes to annex them, this kind of thing is very common in the grassland, once the enemy is defeated, in order to keep their tribe, they will generally choose to negotiate, hand over enough cattle, sheep and slaves for peace, or promise to be annexed to avoid casualties."

Qin Huaidao was amused when he heard it: "It's a little interesting, let's talk about it, anyway, it will take some time for the brothers to prepare, Fang Yiai, pass the order, don't do it, let him come." ”

"Obey." Fang Yiai hurriedly went.

Not long after, a middle-aged man was brought over, turned over and dismounted, and muttered after a Khitan ceremony, Qin Huaidao didn't understand a word, and said: "Xue joins the army, ask him if he can speak Goguryeo or Tang?" ”

As everyone knows, the other party preemptively said: "I know some Tang language in the next place." ”

It would be easy to communicate, Qin Huaidao stared at the other party and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"In Lower Moshi, where did the honorable lord come from, and why did he attack my Sivantan tribe?"

Qin Huaidao said with great momentum: "This king is the prince of Goguryeo, tell your people, put down their swords and arrows, and sacrifice cattle, sheep, women and property, this king can consider letting you live, get out, tell your leader the king's requirements, and let him come to see this king within a stick of incense, otherwise the clan will be wiped out." ”

"The great prince of Goguryeo, didn't the Khitan and Goguryeo have already reached an alliance, why did they suddenly attack? Aren't you afraid of causing a counterattack from the entire Khitan? The other party asked unwillingly.

"What covenant? Don't you know that you're threatening this king? Qin Huaidao pretended to be angry and shouted, but his heart moved, this Khitan really reached an agreement with Goguryeo?

"The covenant stipulates that the alliance will divide the Tang Dynasty, this is the agreement signed by the Khitan Eight Alliance, the Mohui Cave Brother and the king of your country on the bank of the Nenjiang River, is the prince betraying the covenant by doing this, or does Goguryeo have no intention of forming an alliance?" The other party asked angrily.

Qin Huaidao was secretly shocked when he heard the news, staring at the other party, judging from the micro-expression, it didn't look like a lie, it was true, this matter was not small, it had to be transmitted back to the imperial court, his eyes were cold, and he pretended to be disdainful and said: "What do you say?" Stupid, ignorant Khitans are also worthy of an alliance with my great Goguryeo? You are only worthy to be slaves of Goguryeo, and go back and prepare to die. ”

The other party stared at Qin Huaidao, his eyes were full of resentment, and he trembled with anger, but he still rode back.

Qin Huaidao watched the other party leave, his eyes gloomy - he actually dared to join forces to divide Tang?!

If the Khitan and Goguryeo really form an alliance, the news must be transmitted back, and their own strategies must be adjusted accordingly, and this tribe must be taken down to find out.

"Could it be a lie to us?" Li Dejian said in a low voice.

"It looks like it's using this to pressure us and trying to make us give up the attack, which shouldn't be deception." Xue Feng hurriedly said: "General, the stakes are very high, and the news must be transmitted back to the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion." ”

"Take down the tribe, check the authenticity, don't worry." Qin Huaidao said in a deep voice, look into the distance, a cavalry of the Siwan Dan Department came out and took the person just now.

Not long after, a low and long horn sounded from the Sivandan Tribe, which was the trumpet of gathering troops.

Xue Feng hurriedly said: "General, the Siwandan Department is gathering troops, and this horn sound means that all the people are soldiers. ”

"Don't worry, it's better for them to get together." Qin Huaidao said coldly, seeing a troop emerging on the slope ahead, it was Cheng Chumo who led the army to arrive at the designated position, so he shouted: "Captain Fang, put up the flag!" ”

"Obey!"

A large flag was quickly raised, and the attack began.

At this moment, the heavens and the earth seemed to be quiet, and a murderous aura permeated the surroundings.

Siwandan Department, a cavalry rushed out, straight to the direction where Qin Huaidao was, the number of people exceeded thousands, Qin Huaidao was not afraid at all, his eyes looked at Cheng Chumo without blinking, only to see that the clothes held by a hundred war horses were ignited, and they were driven to rush towards the Siwandan Department, like a large burning cloud.

Thousands of people made all kinds of strange screams in their mouths, surrounded the war horses, so as not to run around, and kept driving away, holding a rocket in their hands, and the strip of cloth on it had been ignited, and the strip of cloth wrapped the fat of the war horse, burning vigorously.

"Boom!"

"Herod!"

More than a thousand war horses galloped wildly, and the roar could be heard from a distance, and those who chased out the Sivandan tribe also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and they stopped one after another, looked back, and shouted loudly, the winter is very cold and dry, and the yurt will burn quickly, and the fire horses will rush to the camp, and there will be endless troubles.

This cavalry that rushed out turned around and ran, not caring about chasing and killing Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao smiled when he saw this scene, it seems that the leader of the Si Wan Dan Department is not there, the elite is exhausted, and there is no need to worry about the lack of masters to command.

"Bastard, what to run, come back." Fang Yiai shouted depressedly, thinking that he could fight.

"Actually gave up rushing to kill, what are they?" Xue Feng also shouted in surprise.

Li Dejian looked at Qin Huaidao and said with a smile: "There is no unified command, or no one can convince the public, the command is chaotic, general, this battle is safe!" ”

"Not necessarily, don't underestimate the enemy!"

Qin Huaidao stared at the Siwandan Department with a sharp gaze.
