At noon the next day.

The gray sky was oppressive and dreary.

Countless yurts are connected, white as mushrooms blooming on the vast land, wreaking havoc against the cold wind, some flags hunting in the wind, crackling and exploding, the smoke that has just come out of the cooking instantly blows without a trace, and some cattle and sheep are bleating and wailing, complaining about this damn weather.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of horses' hooves, and the cattle and sheep got up one after another, and looked up at a cavalry rushing down the hillside ahead, and the shepherd dogs were even more frantically yelling, and the sound alarmed the people in the yurt, and one by one came out to watch and inquire about each other.

Someone shouted: "Damn the cold winter, could it be our own people coming back?" ”

"Do you want to remove the danger and stop fighting?"

"It looks like our tribal attire, it's really the sons and daughters are back?"

"Who knows, it's too cold, go back to the house, go back to the house, baby, is the meal good?"

In the distance, among the cavalry that rushed down, Cheng Chumo took the lead, wearing captured clothes, Qin Huaidao asked before leaving, holding the horse lance in his hand, his blood was boiling, he could finally have a good fight, and he was a little surprised to see that no one in the Si Wan Dan Department rushed out to stop him.

"Something is wrong, why didn't anyone intercept it?" Cheng Chuliang shouted.

Cheng Chubi also hit his horse and chased after him and shouted: "It won't be taking us as your own, right?" Great, just rush down and kill it. ”

"Don't come nonsense, if you fall into a siege and can't rush out, the consequences will be very serious." Cheng Chumo reminded him, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, follow us, plan to challenge, rush closer and then do it." ”

Everyone also saw that something was wrong with the Ministry of Xi Wandan, and it was said that they would send someone out to intercept it, but there was no one, this is a big heart? Or did you come back as if everyone were your own?

But either way, it's a good thing.

Everyone is racing wildly, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

The abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of the Siwan Dan Ministry, if it was really their own people who should have slowed down a long time ago, many people realized that something was wrong, and they turned over their horses one after another, while shouting: "Enemy attack, warning!" ”

"Woo-"

The deep, low and long sound of the horn sounded and spread all around.

Hearing this voice, Qing Zhuang rushed out of the yurt, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, jumped on his war horse and began to assemble, and saw countless rockets whistling towards him, and in the direction of the downwind, the rockets were blazing, obviously with grease and the like, flying farther than usual.

More than 2,000 rockets fell in an instant, following a meteor shower.

Countless blooms were ignited, the fire rose in the wind, and burned quickly, and many people were shot and fell to the ground wailing, but no one cared about treatment, and rushed out one after another, and some people shouted: "Quick, rush up and block them, kill them all." ”

Cavalry rushed out of the camp and greeted them with a rain of arrows.

These Khitan cavalry were also fierce, rushing in the face of the rain of arrows, and began to draw their bows and arrows, ready to counterattack, but found that the sneak attackers turned their horses' heads and roared to one side, and did not rush into the camp, but continued to release arrows.

Many people fell off their horses and screamed, but many more rushed out of the camp and chased after them, like a large moving black cloud, and their mouths let out strange howls.

Cheng Chu saw the success of seeing the enemy's excitement, and did not love war, led the army to rush away, from time to time to look back, and saw a large area of people chasing him, but it seemed that there were no five thousand, at most three or four thousand, a little unwilling, but it was like this, and he couldn't kill back.

Two thousand people fight three or four thousand people, and even if they are taken, they will suffer heavy losses.

"Haha, it's a little less than expected, but it's not bad, slow down, don't lose it." Cheng Chuliang shouted.

"Stay in formation and don't run too far." Cheng Chumo turned around and shouted, reminding the Turkic soldiers behind him.

Once the team runs away, the pursuers will inevitably disperse, and if the trap can't be filled, it will be troublesome.

Worried that the enemy would not chase, Cheng Chumo shouted: "Don't be too fast, the brothers in the back will give me arrows, let's go with the wind, shoot far, kill them." ”

As soon as the Turkic soldiers heard that it made sense, they slowed down, stretched their bows and arrows, turned around, and shot at the pursuers, the arrows borrowed the wind, and shot much farther than before, although they were not accurate, but it didn't matter, the number of coverage was, Cheng Shi silently saw that the archery effect was not very good, and shouted: "Throw, throw." ”

Projectile is to shoot at the sky, relying on the inertia of the arrow to fall freely, there is also no accuracy at all, but the number is large, the lethality is also amazing, the key is that the arrow flies into the air after the projectile, the wind blows, and flies farther.

Seeing countless arrows falling into the enemy, and people constantly falling from their horses and falling, everyone's eyes lit up, and they continued to shoot and kill the enemy, and the pursuers were unwilling to shoot arrows to fight back, but when the wind blew, the range was one-third less than usual, and they fell one after another while there was still a distance from everyone.

Cheng Chumo estimated the distance and shouted excitedly: "Slow down a little longer and them." ”

"Hahaha, them." The Turkic soldiers laughed excitedly, they could shoot each other, but the other party couldn't shoot themselves, what was there to be afraid of? One by one, they continued to draw their bows and release arrows, and their mood was extremely relaxed.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, the pursuers were reduced by several hundred, but they were also irritated by the howling and screaming, angry and hateful, squinting with hatred, ignoring everything, and chasing after the horses.

You chase me all the way, and it's not far from the encirclement.

Cheng Chu saw that the team was still a little scattered, and when he looked back, the pursuers were even more scattered, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, stop shooting, gather and run, don't run away." ”

Anyway, the enemy's arrows couldn't reach, and everyone was not afraid of a big increase in the hit rate after concentrating, so they pulled their horses' heads closer to the middle, and gradually formed a column.

With the natural obstacle of the mountain beam, the pursuers gathered a lot unconsciously after coming up, perhaps because there was no more archery in front, there was no threat, and the courage was bigger, and the new road continued to have horses stumbling and falling, gathering more densely, and soon, everyone followed the traces of the war horses in front of them to chase forward.

In this way, the team formed a column about two hundred meters wide.

Rushed a distance, the leader saw that there was a team in the distance, the distance was still a little far, I couldn't see clearly, I was suddenly shocked, I thought there was an ambush, and quickly checked the surroundings, one side is the mountain beam, two hundred meters away, there is no threat if there is an ambush, and the platform on the other side is clear at a glance, it is impossible to hide soldiers, and I am a little fixed in my heart, and when I find that there are only two hundred people in front, a wave of anger rushes straight to the top of my head.

Two hundred people want to stop the pace of the warriors of the Sibandan tribe, who do they look down on?

"Rush up and kill them all!" The leader roared.

"Rush—"

"Kill them all!"

Countless people roared like a tsunami in the mountains, shaking the cold wind back.

Just 200 people dare to stop it?

How can anyone in the Sivandan tribe be able to run away with a bite?

One by one, they were furious, yelling and screaming, and they were full of murderous intent.

Three or four thousand people roared like a rolling torrent, and when they saw that they were about to approach, the people at the head opened their bows and arrows, locked on the front, but found that they couldn't identify who the generals were, and they were all dressed in Khitan people, and they were shocked, what is the situation? Does that tribe not know whether to live or die to provoke the great Sivandan?

Suddenly, the leader saw that there was a small river in front of him, less than two meters away, and the ice had been smashed in many places, and he immediately sneered, wanting to rely on this small river to slow down the progress of the heroic Sivandan warriors? Dream on, roaring, "Rush over, kill—"

The war horse galloped, jumped high and jumped over the river with ease.

The leader looked at the opponent who was 100 meters away, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel coldness, he didn't run at this distance, or fought on foot, did he really think that he was an iron wall? Quickly drew the bow, and was about to shoot an arrow, but found that the person in front of him was not afraid, and there was a hint of mockery and disdain.

"What's going on?" The leader was shocked.

Suddenly, the war horse under the crotch rushed to the ground, but the hind legs jumped high, and the person was thrown out by the inertia of terror, and fell to the ground heavily, and before he could get up, he felt something fall from the sky, smashed down on his body, and his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.

In the distance, Qin Huaidao watched countless war horses lose their front hooves and fall to the ground, countless people rose into the air and fell to the ground, without everyone needing to make up the knife, they were hit by the fallen war horses, or crashed into the air, which was miserable.

"Kill—"

At the sound of an order, the Yulin Army, which had been prepared for a long time, showed their repeaters one after another, and shot wildly at the people who fell off their horses.

Cheng Chumo also turned around and came back with the army, and they changed their crossbows one after another.

All of a sudden, the crossbow bolts rained down on the pursuers.

The pursuers behind saw the ambush, where did they dare to continue to rush forward, they scattered and ran to both sides, they saw snowflakes splashing, countless people drilled out, and before they could react to what was going on, they saw countless crossbow arrows whistling, like locusts, like meteor showers, dense and terrifying.

The speed of the war horses will slow down when they turn, and they suddenly become live targets one by one, and they fall off their horses one after another.

The fighting, from the very beginning, became a one-sided massacre.

Along the way, hundreds of people were shot.

More than 4,000 people are killing more than 3,000 people, or use a crossbow that can be fired continuously, equipped with thirty crossbow arrows, and there is no need to stop and replace them for a period of time, where can they bear it?

After a while, most of the pursuers fell, and a small number of them successfully escaped and prepared to retreat, but they didn't know that another cavalry came out behind them, also using a crossbow, and the dense rain of arrows instantly pressed hundreds of people, blocking the way.

Surrounded on all sides, crossbow arrows rained down.

The pursuers were in a mess, losing their speed and only being slaughtered, and they fell off their horses one after another.

The neighing of war horses, the wails of the wounded, and the sound of constantly exploding crossbow arrows all converged into a music of death, and countless people died every second.

The thick smell of blood was pervasive, and the cold wind could hardly blow it away.

War, brutal and indifferent, until one side falls.

Finally, the last pursuer also fell off his horse, the scene was full of corpses, the snow was red with blood, and only the war horses were wailing around their masters, roaring, and a little helpless in the cold wind.

Qin Huaidao hardened his heart and shouted: "Order, mend the knife, clean the battlefield, bring everything that can be used, quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

Countless people shouted excitedly and rushed forward.

Annihilating three or four thousand people in a big battle, and the losses on his side are almost negligible, such a big victory is unheard of, what is there to worry about with such a general?

At this moment, Qin Huaidao's status in everyone's minds has been infinitely raised.

At this moment, everyone's eyes looking at Qin Huaidao were full of fanaticism and reverence!

Not long after, he came over and shouted excitedly: "General, great victory!" ”

If it was just recognition before, now, the stubborn thinking force is convinced of Qin Huaidao, convinced, full of energy, the Khitan warrior is not a little sheep, he is also a veteran of perennial fighting, three or four thousand people will be killed when they say they will be killed, and the loss on their side is very small, such a big victory is unheard of, and such a style of play is unprecedented.

"An Guogong, do you still dare to fight?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"Why don't you dare, please give the general an order."

Qin Huaidao motioned for him to step forward, took out a map, pointed to a tribe and said: "This is the next small tribe of the He Dahe Tribal Alliance, I asked Xue to join the army, five or six hundred capable warriors, you take a thousand cavalry disguised as Khitan warriors, and use their banner to first break forward in the direction of the Xiwandan Department for ten miles to guard to prevent the enemy from sending troops over, if so, retreat while fighting, introduce here, and send someone to report, if not, set off after an hour, the tribe will launch an attack at dinner time, and take it in one fell swoop, and the campsite will depend on you tonight." ”

"No problem, I'm sure to get the job done." An Guogong promised that the enemy had to defend himself.

Qin Huaidao reminded: "Remember, also use the double snake strangulation tactics, be careful not to make mistakes, try not to die, don't kill prisoners after taking them, guard them, scatter scouts to scout the Quartet, and make food and other armies." ”

"Obey." An Guogong agreed and hurried away.

Li Dejian watched An Guogong leave, and asked curiously: "General, are you worried that the Siwandan Ministry will send troops to check?" Or bring here to fight again? ”

"I have to guard against it, at least there is still the main force of the army here, and we can't let a thousand of them be swallowed by the enemy." Qin Huaidao said truthfully.

"That's right, why did you attack He Dahe's subordinates? Stirring up a feud between the two tribal alliances? They're not stupid, there's no reason why they shouldn't know that someone is doing ghosts. Li Dejian reminded.

Qin Huaidao smiled and explained: "There will definitely be suspicions, so Ben will throw out the identity of the prince of Goguryeo, if they finally suspect Goguryeo, it is better to join forces to attack Goguryeo, it doesn't hurt if there is no suspicion, at least in a short period of time, they will be suspicious of each other, and they will not join forces, we will continue to kill, mainly kill the Si Wan Dan Ministry, weaken their strength, and even if He Da He knows that we did it, they will take the opportunity to annex the Si Wan Dan Ministry, and everyone in the other ministries is in danger, so we can continue to fish in troubled waters and expand the results." ”

Li Dejian suddenly realized, thought for a while, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will join forces to encircle and suppress us?" ”

"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal, let's go to Goguryeo."

"Ahh

Li Dejian's face changed greatly, this courage is too big, 5,000 men and horses dare to provoke the Khitan and stimulate Goguryeo, this is simply the rhythm of looking for death, so he is not afraid of provoking chaos, and reminded: "General, if Goguryeo questions the Tang Dynasty, we will be charged with provoking war." ”

"You forget, we are Khitans." Qin Huaidao said nonchalantly.

Li Dejian reacted suddenly, his eyes lit up, he smiled, and said sincerely: "The general is wise, we are Khitans, there is a kind of letting them settle accounts with the Khitan, the general's game of chess is so big, not only provoked the internal strife of the eight Khitan departments, but also pulled Goguryeo in, is it possible to want to win two places at the same time?" ”

"You don't want to?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

Li Dejian couldn't guess whether Qin Huaidao really wanted to do it, or if he didn't mean it, but when he thought that if it was realized, it would be a great achievement to expand the territory and leave a name in history, whether he wanted it or not, at least the soldiers would think about it.

Moreover, with this target stimulation, coupled with consecutive victories, morale does not have to worry at all, maybe the troops will go crazy, and no one can stop them.

I was inexplicably excited in my heart, and I had more ambition!

"Go and count the exploits." Qin Huaidao reminded.

"Obey!" Li Dejian went excitedly.

"Captain Fang." Qin Huaidao shouted.

"In!" Fang Yiai ran up excitedly, he was stupid and hidden in the battle just now.

"Find Xue to join the army, find a few prisoners and ask where the main force of the Bandan Department has gone, you must know the specific location and total strength." Qin Huaidao explained.

"Obey!" Fang Yiai agreed and hurried away.

Qin Huaidao looked at Li Yixie behind him, he was staring around vigilantly, he was worthy of being behind the gate, he knew how to guard, much better than Fang Yiai's reckless man, beckoned forward, and said in a low voice: "Ben Jiang and your father don't know each other, do you want to make meritorious contributions?" ”

Li Yixie looked around and said in a low voice: "Before leaving, my father told me to listen to the general's belly, and if possible, try to make meritorious contributions, if not, we must ensure the safety of the general." ”

"If you have a heart, you will have a chance, believe me." Qin Huaidao said in a low voice.

"General Xie!" Li Yixie said gratefully.

Qin Huaidao didn't say anything more, looking at the soldiers cleaning the battlefield in front of him, he was a little excited, no matter what, this battle was won, and it was won beautifully, no one should jump out to oppose it in the future, and the command was finally obtained.

Not long after, Fang Yiai hurriedly came over and said excitedly: "I have asked, there are about 5,000 soldiers in the Siwandan tribe, and most of the troops have gone to the west, and I have asked several of them, but I don't know what to do." ”

"Five thousand?"

Qin Huaidao secretly thought to himself, the grassland people are different from other ethnic groups, once the tribe is attacked, regardless of men, women, old and young, as long as they can pull the bow, they will participate in the battle, the Siwan Dan Department can pull out at least 20,000 people to fight, there are 5,000 soldiers under the command, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and the hard attack is not good, so you can only continue to find opportunities to take a bite.

"Let's hurry." Qin Huaidao urged.

As soon as the topic fell, a war horse in the distance rushed over frantically, shouting from afar: "Report-"

Qin Huaidao's heart jumped, staring at the other party, it was a captain of the Turkic Army.

When he got closer, the other party jerked his horse.

"Herod!"

The horses neighed, and the people stood up.

"Say, what's the situation?" Qin Huaidao asked.

"Tell the general, 2,000 cavalry from the Sivandan Department are coming and are fighting."

"What...... What the? ”

Everyone around him was taken aback and looked at Qin Huaidao one after another.

"What's the panic?" Qin Huaidao scolded, but he didn't expect to be guessed by himself, but it was only two thousand, not much, it could be eaten, and immediately said: "Go and inform An Guogong, and fight and retreat, and introduce the enemy here as before, be quick, deal with silence-"

"In!"

"If you have experience, follow me and have a look."

"Obey!" Cheng Chumo agreed, turned over on the horse, and walked away stupidly.

Qin Huaidao immediately asked people to call all the first-class officers of the school captain, and said solemnly: "Time is pressing, it's too late to elaborate, listen to the general's orders." ”

Everyone looked stunned and pricked up their ears.

Qin Huaidao continued: "The Turkic army went to both sides of the battlefield to lie down and pretend to be dead......

Everyone's expressions were awe-inspiring, what kind of tactics is this? A lieutenant couldn't help but say, "What if it's exposed?" ”

This is the disadvantage that prestige is not enough, Qin Huaidao held back his anger and explained: "Ben will take two thousand forbidden troops to form a formation here, putting on the momentum of a big battle, plus the captured horses, the momentum is no less than four thousand, the enemy army will inevitably be attracted when they come, how can they take care of you and wait?" ”

"The last general understands, and the last general knows his mistakes." The other party reacted and quickly said.

"The ambush formation should be lengthened, forming pockets, and when the enemy enters the encirclement, cover and kill from the back and flank, and carry it out." Qin Huaidao said coldly.

The Khitan captains hurried away.

Li Dejian reminded with some unease: "General, how can you ambush twice in the same place?" Or is it pretending to be dead, unheard of, and really possible? ”

"You think so, the enemy will think so, time is in a hurry, you can only gamble, everyone moves, concentrate the horses in front, form cover, people are behind the horses, crouch down and shoot, fast!"

"Obey!" Everyone hurried away and commanded their teams.

Li Dejian saw Qin Huaidao's insistence, he was anxious, the art of war is cloudy, but he can't do it again, wouldn't ambushing twice in the same place be looking for death? The enemy is not stupid, how can he not pay attention, but once the military order, he does not dare to say it again, otherwise it will shake the morale of the army.

The enemy suddenly arrived, and he couldn't do it without fighting.

Qin Huaidao was worried that everyone was not in place, so he rushed up to command, and when he saw that it was inappropriate, he immediately shouted: "A few of you go further back, get out of the middle, and you, you can put the enemy's corpse on your body to cover it, or you can hide in the snow like before, hurry up." ”

Seeing that Qin Huaidao had passed, the Yulin Army went over to protect him.

Qin Huaidao looked back when he heard the voice, and shouted: "What are you doing with it, go back and help set up." ”

Li Yixie and Fang Yiai exchanged glances, and had to lead the team back, but fortunately, the enemy had not yet arrived.

Qin Huaidao saw that the war horses were reluctant to gather, and it was difficult to form a cover, and after the fight, once the war horses were frightened and ran away, the consequences would be very serious, and he was ruthless, and shouted: "Quick, use the enemy's corpse to pile up bunkers behind the horse trap formation." ”

Although the corpse is strong, it can't stop the war horse from colliding, but it can block some arrows.

"Quick, with a corpse!" Many lieutenants reacted and shouted one after another, everyone rushed up in a swarm and piled up the corpses together, the horse pit position was originally full of corpses, there were people, and there were also war horses, they could be used if they were pulled over directly, life and death were bald, everyone didn't care about taboos, and they did it quickly one by one.

Qin Huaidao stepped forward on his horse, continued to command the Turks to ambush, and would rather be far away than be trampled by the galloping war horses, and died aggrieved, and soon heard the faint sound of war horses galloping, knowing that the chasing soldiers had arrived, he hurriedly beat the horses back, and saw that the bunker had not been done, and hurriedly shouted: "Continue to heighten, Yu Linwei, step forward to repair the horse pit." ”

"Obey."

Two hundred forest guards hurriedly rushed up, hollowing out the trap pit filled with ice and snow, Qin Huaidao returned to the position, and looked up worriedly, the cavalry had appeared, the Turkic soldiers kept pulling their bows and shooting arrows, and every round of attacks had pursuers fall off their horses, and the pursuers couldn't shoot at all.

Next to him, Li Yixie suddenly said: "The chasing soldiers only look like there are more than a thousand people. ”

Cheng Chuliang also said: "It's the benefit of tailwind, that's what we did before, in fact, you don't need to stop them, just lead them to run, and you can kill them by slowly consuming them." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, mess with our army's heart, what if the enemy pulls a distance, bites to the death, and notifies others to surround and kill?" Qin Huaidao glared at Cheng Chuliang, and immediately shouted: "Prepare for battle, use a repeater, don't save." ”

Cheng Chuliang realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his neck shrank in fright, and his heart was shocked - the eyes of this Qin family brother became sharper and sharper.

"Obey!" Everyone was amazed.

The morale is like a rainbow, and the fighting spirit will shake back the cold wind in the sky.

There are only more than 1,000 people, and with the blessing of the great victory just now, the soldiers are fearless!

"Come on!"

Qin Huaidao stared ahead, his gaze was calm and powerful, even if he took down this chasing army, even if he hurt the Siwan Dan Department, the situation would inevitably change greatly, and the water would be completely muddy.

Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao's battle intent boiled, and he slowly drew his sword.
