The valley was silent, and the cold wind whimpered.

Heaven and earth seemed to be frozen, and it was so cold that it was terrifying.

But Zhi Zhi Sili and the others were enthusiastic, and they watched Qin Huaidao draw two giant python-shaped marching maps on the drawings with wide eyes, and their breathing became short, and they couldn't wait to lead the troops up immediately.

As a veteran who was killed on the grassland, he knew too well the power of this tactic, and it was simply tailor-made for his Turkic army, and said with a bit of fanaticism: "General, this method is very good, and it is not easy for the army to be targeted by the opponent when it moves at high speed, second, everyone only needs to stare at the side of the tribe, not as good as the rest, concentrate, it is not easy to be shot, and the casualties can be greatly reduced, this tactic is most suitable for my Turkic warriors, and I will bow to it." ”

"Can you decide to shoot the enemy?" Qin Huaidao asked, after all, he was not familiar with Turkic soldiers.

The person who is too familiar with his own thinking force immediately said: "A long snake formation rushes down, it will not cause congestion, squeeze, concentrate on archery, the warriors have greatly increased their accuracy, it doesn't hurt if they don't use their heads, keep throwing, create chaos, there will always be shots, a few rounds down, add up to a lot, and you will be able to win." ”

"That's good, the remaining 1,000 people are on standby, once the opponent concentrates his forces to break through from a certain place, depending on the strength of the breakout, pull out the corresponding forces and press down, don't stop after plugging the gap, go directly to the inside to cover and kill a pair of people, and the two thousand people responsible for strangulation don't need to stop, and they don't need to support."

"Okay, so that there are no worries." Obsessed with his thoughts, he exclaimed.

"Don't worry, Ben will lead others to suppress the formation for you, but there is another thing that needs to be explained."

"General, please." Stubbornness said solemnly.

"Whoever resists with weapons shall not be killed, and whoever does not resist shall not be killed indiscriminately, and whoever has women, children, and children shall not be killed indiscriminately, and whoever robs property shall be beheaded!" Is it possible? Qin Huaidao's tone became cold, to fight, you must first establish rules, otherwise the army's morale will be in chaos.

"Don't worry, if anyone dares to mess around, there is no need for the general to say, the general will personally cut off his head."

"It's the best, but what's not clear?" Qin Huaidao asked, looking at everyone.

Cheng Chumo took the lead and said: "General, this method of warfare has never been heard, but it is absolutely feasible, two thousand people are surrounded by the periphery, constantly throwing to create chaos and killing, the enemy is in turmoil, even if someone breaks through, there is a reserve force to counteract, such as using rockets, the effect is better." ”

"That's right, burn with rockets and disintegrate the enemy in an instant." Yu Chi Baolin also agreed.

"Nope." Qin Huaidao decisively stopped it.

Everyone looked at it in amazement, it could have been better, why not?

Even the stubborn thinking force looked at it in surprise.

Qin Huaidao said bluntly: "The rocket is certainly trouble-free, but it will also burn the company camp, first, to expose the whereabouts, and second, everything is burned, what do the brothers eat at night, and where do they live?" The army needs a camp to rest. ”

Everyone suddenly realized that they were ashamed of themselves.

Cheng Chumo sighed: "I just want to win the war, but the general thinks about what is behind him, so it's better to do it." ”

"Okay, brother at home, don't pat yourself." Qin Huaidao scolded.

Everyone burst into laughter, inexplicably a little closer.

Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Feng and asked, "Xue joins the army, you are familiar with the tribe, can you question the general's tactics?" ”

"This tactic is wonderful, and I don't see any problems with it." Xue Feng hurriedly said, his heart was full of shock, if he was himself, he would definitely lead the troops to rush and kill directly, how could he think about it so much, however, this double snake strangulation method is indeed unusual, and he secretly wrote it down.

Qin Huaidao saw Li Dejian writing hard and asked, "What are you writing?" ”

"Back to the general, the minutes of this military meeting will be recorded and archived in the future for inspection, which is where the duty of the humble duty lies." Li Dejian hurriedly agreed, and he was a little more convinced in his heart, and he believed his father's words a little, and at most he would send troops to rush and kill in two or three ways, and he would not think of strangulation, which simply gave full play to the advantages of the Turks' good cavalry and archery.

"Since there are no opinions, we will follow this method of operation, An Guogong, please also call the officers above the two thousand-man teams responsible for the attack, and deploy tactics in person."

According to the establishment, there are fifty people in a team, which is quite a lot, and everyone at this level of the team must know the tactics in order to exert greater power.

"No problem." I don't understand the reason, in the past, the command was to convey the first level of the sword captain, but I still let people pass the order.

Not long after, a large group of officers surrounded him, and Qin Huaidao asked Zhi Zhi Sili to deploy it in person, first, to see if the other party understood, and secondly, to stare at it himself, and to point out the problem in time.

An Guogong understood it quite thoroughly and explained the tactics carefully.

Everyone looked at the map, the image, intuitive, as soon as they heard it, they understood, inexplicably appeared in their minds that two big snakes kept spinning, strangling the target alive, inexplicably giving birth to a chill, but the eyes became fanatical, and when An Guogong finished speaking, a captain shouted: "This tactic is too suitable for us to come, my lord is wise." ”

"Wise fart, created by the general." Obsessed with his thoughts, he hurriedly said.

Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao one after another, and the captain who spoke just now arched his hand and said: "The general actually knows our Turkic combat habits so well, and with this tactic, the general will ensure that it will be easy to take." ”

"Ben will come up with this tactic, I just hope to sacrifice less, remember, don't be impulsive, you have a family and a mouth, you have everything when you live, this battle, please everyone." Qin Huaidao said sincerely, although he is a Turk, he is now a comrade-in-arms, his own person, and he should be respected.

Everyone saw that Qin Huaidao was so respectful, his tone was sincere, not like a hypocrisy, and they were moved in their hearts, as a surrendered army, his status in Datang was not high, and he was not very popular with people at ordinary times, so he thought that he was just cannon fodder this time, but he didn't expect Qin Huaidao to come up with a double snake strangulation strategy, just to make everyone reduce their sacrifices.

The human heart is made of flesh.

At this moment, everyone has more recognition of Qin Huaidao!

"This diagram might give me a look or two?" The other party asked.

"Take it, be careful, you must tell every soldier how to fight, fight together, and never allow running around." Qin Huaidao said seriously.

Li Dejian hurriedly added: "Return the archive in a while, don't damage it." ”

"Such a treasure, how can it be damaged, rest assured." The other party agreed.

The Turkic middle-level officers gathered around and communicated in their own language, Qin Huaidao didn't understand, but he didn't care, and said: "Pass the order, and set off in an hour." ”

"Obey!" Everyone left.

"General, let's go down and make arrangements." Stubbornly clasped his fists and said.

Qin Huaidao said uneasily: "An Guogong, remind two points, first, every soldier must understand the tactics of war, so that there will be no chaos, everyone knows what to do, second, we must inform the military discipline, military law is ruthless, don't embarrass everyone at that time, third, change horses to attack after arriving at the place, you can use bows and arrows and knives, it is inconvenient to use crossbows for horseback riding, and stay later." ”

"Obey." Stubbornly agreed, and hurried away.

Qin Huaidao continued to look at the overall overview map, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Xue joins the army, in your opinion, once the incident happens, which tribe will be most likely to rush to support?" How many people, what is the combat power, and which way to go? ”

"This tribe is far away from other tribes, and it is almost dark to attack, if you don't miss a person, I'm afraid no one will come to ask for three or two days, it's cold and snowy, and you don't want to go out, the general chooses to attack in such a bad season, the courage is extraordinary, and he is humble." Xue Feng said sincerely.

"Is no one coming?" Qin Huaidao stared at the overall overview map, and one thought after another came to mind.

An hour later, the 3,000 Turkic army was ready and left in three directions, followed by the others.

Rush all the way.

The wilderness is boundless, and it is white and expansive, as if only white is left in the whole world.

The cold wind slammed into the earth even more, rolling up snowflakes and flying all over the sky, and the snow on the ground was a foot thick, and the war horse walked a little hard, but the horseshoe was loaded, and none of them were injured and fell.

An hour or so, everyone came to the destination, Qin Huaidao hit a dirt slope, and as far as the eye could see, there was a huge river valley in the distance, the river water had frozen, countless yurt houses were smoking, and there was a faint sound of horses neighing and dogs barking, which could not be heard really.

"It's a good fireworks, but it's a pity that it's wartime, and only reunification can end this damn era of cannibalism, I hope you don't blame me." Qin Huaidao looked into the distance and felt something.

They are all ordinary people, if they can, Qin Huaidao is really reluctant to make a move.

But there is no unity, there are constant wars, and there are more deaths!

Mercy is not in charge of the soldiers, the kindness of women, and I am afraid that the people around you who die.

One thought flashed through my mind, and I saw a cavalry rushing out from each side of the east and west, without cheering or shouting, just rushing silently, like a giant python suddenly appearing and rushing forward.

"Here we go!"

Qin Huaidao clenched his fists, a little excited, coming to the first battle commanded in this world, there is no room for failure.

Cheng Chumo and others also rode up one after another, standing side by side, looking into the distance.

Yu Chi Baolin said with emotion: "The column charges, from a distance, it looks like two giant pythons biting up, the speed is good-looking, this riding technique is not simple, look-they rushed up, about to shoot." ”

Everyone's eyes widened.

I saw that on the river valley in the distance, two teams attacked from the east and west sides, and when they were about a hundred meters closer, they drew their bows and threw them, the speed did not decrease, but one side of the horse's head, one rushed to the south, the other rushed to the north, and continued to shoot, the arrows rained down, and fell in the tribe with a terrifying scream.

The tribe sounded the sound of gongs to warn, and there were screams, and there was a mess.

However, the two teams rushed around the tribe, end to end, and placed the tribe together, but neither of them would hit anyone, nor would they block anyone's view, and they all quickly threw at the tribe in one direction, this kind of attack did not need to be aimed at all, probably good, it was all up to luck and numbers.

The horse ran at a high speed, faster and faster, splashing snowflakes all over the sky, and the two giant pythons that were running wildly gradually turned into one, as if they were one, and slowly tightened the encirclement.

The tribes in the encirclement saw attacks everywhere, plus the yurt blocked the view, they couldn't see too far, I don't know how many people came, they were all panicked, some people jumped on their horses and rushed out, trying to fight back, but they became live targets, more arrows were taken care of, and those who were shot fell off their horses, and they couldn't organize an effective attack at all.

Qin Huaidao looked at this scene and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Cheng Chu silently praised: "General, this is almost a siege, with two thousand to one thousand people controlling the strings, the strength is superior, and it is a sudden attack, and it is a surprise, this battle will be won." ”

"You can't relax until the last minute." Qin Huaidao reminded.

Cheng Chumo smiled and didn't answer.

Fang Yiai ran up and said: "General, can you let the last general lead people to rush down, turn him upside down, and end the battle as soon as possible." ”

"How do you want to fight?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically, wanting to see if this guy's brain was in stock.

"Isn't that easy? The thief captures the king first, and all he needs to do is rush in and go straight to the largest tent, which should be where the head of their clan is located, and once the leader of the tribe is dead, the rest is not a problem. ”

"I have some ideas, but this battle will have promised to give credit to An Guogong, and I must not break my promise, and I will have the opportunity to let you rush into battle again in the future." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"It's okay, the last general doesn't want credit, just want to fight."

"Obey orders." Qin Huaidao didn't bother to explain, if the son of Fang Xuanling, the head of the civil official, made meritorious service, An Guogong would not dare not give it, even if he didn't want to, he would inevitably count less when he counted merit in the future.

For the generals, kill the generals and capture the flag!

For the handsome, coordinate the overall situation!

As the main general, Qin Huaidao had to be meticulous and comprehensive.

The military order is like a mountain, and although Fang Yiai is unwilling, he didn't say anything.

The "giant python" is still shrinking the encirclement and continuing to strangle, every soldier knows the tactics, no one rushes into the tribe, and no one runs around, rushing forward with the horse in front of him, while quickly pulling the bow and shooting arrows, this kind of riding and archery is too familiar from small to large.

There was no organized breakout as expected, and the strangulation was gradually coming to an end.

Qin Huaidao looked ahead, and gradually felt that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "Xue joins the army, this tribe really has a thousand people who control the strings?" ”

"It's true!" Xue Feng said affirmatively.

Cheng Chumo also noticed that something was wrong, and said: "It doesn't look like it, this combat power is very ordinary." ”

"Baoqi!" Qin Huaidao turned his head to look at Yu Chi Baoqi.

Yu Chi Baoqi hurriedly responded: "Here!" ”

"Arrange four teams of men and horses to reconnoiter in four directions, search for twenty miles, and be sure to return to the team before dark." Qin Huaidao advised, ordinary people really don't dare to go out at night when it's cold, but there can't be any luck on the battlefield, otherwise it will be death.

"Obey!" Yu Chi Baoqi hurriedly went.

"Shall I go?" Fang Yiai took the initiative to ask for help.

"You know the art of scouting?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it just to see if there's anyone?" Fang Yiai asked rhetorically.

Qin Huaidao is too lazy to take care of it, this product is a reckless man, Wu Yong is used, after all, he is not the queen of the gate, and he has not received relevant training, so it is okay to stay and protect himself.

Fang Yiai still wanted to argue, Li Dejian said in a low voice: "Bereavement, don't talk nonsense, this reconnaissance is not trivial, you can judge the number of people and horses passing by from the footprints, you can judge from the dung whether it is a war horse, a mule or a sheep, how many people can also be seen from the marching stove, and whether the team passing by is elite from the camp, etc., broad and profound, not willful." ”

"So many?" Fang Yiai didn't insist on it.

Qin Huaidao looked at the luggage in surprise.

Li Dejian explained: "I followed my father in the barracks when I was a child, and I know a little bit. ”

As he spoke, the battle was over, and he rushed over, flushed with excitement, and shouted from a distance: "General, the battle is over, and no one has escaped." ”

"Good fight!"

"More generals." Zhi Sili said gratefully, this is a real feat.

Qin Huaidao asked bluntly: "The opponent's combat power is far lower than expected, can there be any abnormal discoveries?" ”

"It is indeed weaker than expected, the old man has observed, there are only more than 600 young and strong, many old people and women also participated in the war, and there are some little cubs, all of them are more than 1,500, the people on the grassland are not so particular, once the tribe is attacked, as long as they can get on the horse, pull the bow, they have to fight."

Qin Huaidao nodded, and advised: "Drive the remaining people to some yurts and concentrate on them, do not kill indiscriminately, collect knives, bows and arrows, cattle, sheep and horses, kill lambs and prepare dinner, do not let the captives do the work for them, be careful of poisoning, if there is no invincible situation, spend the night here tonight, the brothers are also frozen." ”

"It's really not cold, follow the general's order." Lost his mind and hurried away.

"What about our forbidden army?" Yu Chi Baoqi asked.

"Wait for the scouts to come back."

"Obey!" Wei Chi Baoqi didn't say any more, the scouts didn't return, and the situation was unknown, so he couldn't relax his vigilance, and the two thousand forbidden troops were waiting for him, which was much safer.

Qin Huaidao stood still, calmly looking ahead, and waited patiently.

After a while, the noisy tribe quieted down, the captives were taken into custody, the cattle, sheep, and horses were gathered, and a bonfire was burned, on which the sheep were roasted, and the fragrance wafted in the wind.

The scouts returned one after another, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qin Huaidao one after another.

Qin Huaidao also breathed a sigh of relief, all the way over, the cold was not light, and he urgently needed to eat a hot meal, under an order, everyone slowly entered the river valley, came to the tribe, and came over with a few captains, and won the battle, everyone was overjoyed, and said with a stubborn mind: "General, the main account of the tribe has been cleaned up, please!" ”

"The first battle was won, and everyone is indispensable in the general's merit book, and the captains of the military cadets will go to the main account to discuss the matter." Qin Huaidao looked at everyone and said.

The lieutenant is in charge of two hundred people, which is considered an intermediate force, and it is better to know what is conducive to command.

"Obey!" And the people departed, and the herald went.

Qin Huaidao followed the stubbornness and lost his thinking strength, there were corpses all over the ground, extremely tragic, Qin Huaidao had long been accustomed to life and death on the battlefield, and there was no discomfort in his body, so he secretly warned himself that this was a war, don't be soft-hearted, don't sympathize, and unconsciously came to the largest tent.

The surrounding corpses were also cleaned up, the ground was covered with snow, there was no one inside, there was a bonfire burning on the ground, a sheep was roasting, and a thick futon cushion was padded, Qin Huaidao sat on the top and looked at the wine jug on the table in front of him, the style was exquisite, and it looked like an object in the Central Plains.

There is also a knife on the desk, with some meat foam on it, which is obviously a table knife used to cut meat and eat, but looking at the cold light, it can be seen that it can also kill.

Qin Huaidao looked good, prepared to keep it for backup, cut off a large piece of meat and threw it in his mouth, and said: "An Guogong, sit down and be hungry, Fang Yiai, Li Yixie, order Yu Linwei to pay attention to vigilance." ”

"Obey!" The two hurried away.

Li Yixie is the son of Li Junxian, after the gate, he followed his father to fight in all directions in the past, and was mainly responsible for this kind of protection of the commander's work.

Qin Huaidao was too lazy to care, eating meat and drinking milk tea, and his body was much more comfortable.

Not long after, one by one, the captains walked in, everyone was a little restrained after saluting, not knowing what to do, Qin Huaidao said indifferently: "Sitting around the bonfire, you're tired, eat as you like, you're welcome." ”

Seeing that Qin Huaidao was so easy-going, everyone relaxed a lot, sat down around the fire, and didn't dare to move.

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "What, I still can't give you the meat to eat, just eat, roast it after eating, it's enough, it's cold and snowy, I don't know when I can eat the next meal, eat more." ”

"General Xie." Everyone thanked each other and looked at the stubborn mindlessness.

Obsessed with the loss of thinking with a knife to cut a large piece of food, this way of sitting around eating meat and discussing the size of the size is used to it, everyone saw the loss of thinking power, and also started to eat.

Qin Huaidao saw Fang Yiai coming in, so he advised: "Yiai, this is not enough to eat, let the brothers below kill two more and send them over, and chat while eating." ”

"General, let's go, those were all slaughtered by the last general before, and there are still some leftovers, just take them." A Turkic lieutenant stood up.

"It's okay, go back quickly, and wait for the discussion." Qin Huaidao admonished.

As soon as everyone heard Qin Huaidao emphasize the deliberations again, it was definitely not for everyone to sit together and get acquainted with each other, and simply chatted a few words, I am afraid that there is really something, and they all looked at it curiously.

Qin Huaidao didn't explain, took out the overall overview map and spread it out, looking at it and eating it at the same time, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, the two sheep were brought in and roasted on the shelf, this work was too familiar and kind to the Turks, so they all rushed to do it, chatting quietly about the battle just now, excited, and glanced at Qin Huaidao who was thinking from time to time, and became more and more curious in his heart.

The captain of the forbidden army waited while eating, he didn't speak, the corner of his eyes was all on Qin Huaidao, he was a spectator in the battle just now, he didn't have a chance to perform, he held his breath in his heart, they were all soldiers, who served whom?

After a while, Qin Huaidao was almost finished, and suddenly raised his head.

Everyone stopped and looked.

Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Feng: "Xue joins the army, which alliance does this tribe belong to?" ”

"General, the Khitan Eight Alliance, this tribe belongs to the Siwandan Ministry."

Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up, the strength of the Siwandan Department was second only to the leader of the tribal alliance He Da He Division, if the strength of He Da He Department was weakened, the other seven major tribal alliances would definitely be tempted to annex He Da He Department and compete for the position of the leader of the alliance, but in this way, the Khitan was in chaos.

But at the moment, there is no chance to attack He Da Hebu, and it is not bad to attack Xi Wan Dan Ministry, it will also cause disputes, and He Da He Bu will see that the strength of Xi Wan Dan is damaged, and he will not allow other tribal alliances to make a move under the guise of protecting Xi Wan Dan Ministry, and then swallow it alone, other tribes are not strong enough, dare not be angry, and resentment is indispensable in his heart.

When the time comes to attack He Da He by himself, other tribal alliances will definitely pass the buck or even stand idly by.

"Captain Fang, bring a few captives in for questioning." Qin Huaidao shouted.
