Chapter 300: Wings Cannot Escape (3)
In the vast snowfield, on the hill against which the Qi army camp was back, several people cautiously poked their heads out, using their elbows as tools, alternately moving forward, and finally moved to a good position, looking around for a while.
Looking down from here, the small but sturdy military fortress is clearly visible on the mountain.
The military fortress is newly built, the camp gate is strong, and it is poured with water, as long as it is sealed overnight, the strong crossbow is skidding, not to mention climbing, from outside, the Qi army also set up four small villages outside the military fortress, and the wooden city is full of deer. Strong crossbows can be connected between wooden cities. Firmly covering the already extremely strong camp, it is really a hard bone to gnaw!
Except for the fact that it is accessible all the way, the terrain is quite treacherous. In case the battle of the Qi army is unfavorable, it can also retreat to the fortified village and hold on to the Turkic army. This kind of defense system is not leaky, if there is no shortage of food and grass, and the morale of the defenders does not fall, at least it can be held for half a year!
Several Turkic sentinels memorized the previous defensive layout of the army, glanced at each other, and prepared to retreat, when suddenly a strong wind broke through the air, and a strong crossbow broke through the wind. An arrow like a spear pierced through the chest and abdomen of a spy, instantly nailing him to the ground! The snow is dyed red with a single burst of blood!
The remaining sentinels were so panicked that they rolled down the hillside, mounted their horses, and fled in a hurry, returning to their camps to report their duties. There are more than a dozen great nobles with the surname of Turkic Ashina here, each wrapped in fur coats and wearing various colored blades, and they don't know how long they have been here, and each of them has a dark cloud on their faces. The short and fat Anluo was among them, hugging the animal skin mattress, and his body looked a little more bloated than before.
At the moment, he just snorted: "In previous years, when I was fishing and shooting eagles and hunting sheep, life didn't have to be a few points better now, and now I have only been fighting for a long time, and I can't bear it one by one." There is an even bigger flower to the south! Their warehouses are full of grain, their houses are warm as spring, and their women are like flowers, don't they want to go for a walk? Hmph, they're all cowards! ”
Anluo was very dissatisfied, whether it was the Khitan or the Xi people, they should have been prostrate at the feet of the Turks. As for the people of the Central Plains, they are even more unbearable, and they have to rob them. Anluo recommended himself to his father this time, originally in order to win a little military merit and compete for the position in the future, but now that he has not even crossed the Great Wall, the Turkic Eastern Route Army has almost declared defeat, and the battle is like this, how can he be willing?
He snorted: "Originally, this battle was fought smoothly, if it wasn't for the blind shooting, how could it become the situation it is today?" He obviously can't beat Gao Yanzong, and he still has to set up some bird tricks in the hope of catching people, now it's okay, tens of thousands of troops! It's the same as what I gave for nothing! The battle damage was so serious, report to the Great Khan, and the Eastern Route Army, including us, will not have any good fruit to eat! ”
A group of nobles looked at each other, and said in their hearts that the photo repeatedly urged you to go south to support, you were greedy for looting property, and you were reluctant to withdraw from Anzhou, and now the photo can't hold on, withdraw it, but you have put all the blame on him, isn't it not very authentic? However, these words can only be thought about in my heart, and I never dare to say them, so I have to pretend to be a stuffy gourd one by one, and wait for An Luo to dissipate.
Seeing that the nobles did not agree, An Luo was even more annoyed in his heart, and asked, "What is the situation on the Qi army's side?" ”
"Some are strong, although the armor is not yet complete, but the combat power is acceptable. It's not something that can be defeated with one or two charges. ”
"How's their defense?"
"Sturdy, tough to deal with! It's hard to beat it down! ”
"What else do you know?"
The nobles looked at each other even more, "Zhu Liechi led the team out yesterday, crossed the pass of the Great Wall, and captured some county soldiers. After questioning, he was killed. In addition to knowing that the opposite side was against us was Pingzhou Thorn Shi Gao Gong, we also knew that Gao Yanzong's four-way army would soon go north, when exactly would it go north, and we didn't inquire about it from that route. ”
"The Qi army really had the idea of trapping us, so they pursued out of the fortress. This has never happened before, except for Gao Yang, the madman...... You're not going to want to eat this hard bone, are you? ”
As soon as they heard that they were going to fight, and even went straight to the legendary Northern Qi Dynasty, which was extremely rich, these Turkic nobles didn't think much about it originally.
Killing and looting were the driving forces behind the tribe's frenzied expansion, and for this they did not hesitate to destroy everything, even their own lives.
The Turks fought from Monan to the Western Regions, and they were not afraid of anything all the way up, but in the face of the orthodox Central Plains Dynasty, they were really frightened. Although they are known as the millions of people who control the strings and are invincible, the Turks always feel that they lack some confidence when facing them.
If it weren't for this, they and Yuwen Protector Alliance Kou Jinyang would not have stopped moving forward. Although they gained a lot of Han slaves and wealth, the Turks were afraid when facing the Xianbei Baibao, who was covered in armor and as hideous as a monster. Duan Shao calculated that they would not dare to fight, so he calmly forced Yang Zhong to retreat, and then took advantage of the situation to win the Battle of Bishan.
Throughout the history books of the Central Plains people and the songs of the grassland people. The rise of every Central Plains dynasty is almost a nightmare for the grassland peoples! It is like wheat in a field, which comes again after harvesting. Although there were victories and defeats in the war, and almost all the royal families of the Jin Dynasty were killed, they were far from the time when the country was destroyed and the species was wiped out.
If you don't blend in with them, but want to rule them, you are doomed to perish. Today's Turkic people are even more barbaric than the Xianbei people of the past, even if they have conquered the flowers and rivers in the south, what can they do? They didn't think about it, and they didn't think about it, anyway, they went to rob when they got on their horses. Therefore, considering the problem from the standpoint of a robber, Anluo is actually facing a very difficult and dangerous situation.
Naturally, the Khan hoped that he would be able to stand up and gain some military merit and prestige among the Turks, but his defeat in Yandi made Anluo hesitate. He now has no confidence at the beginning, and began to have a sense of awe and even fear for Qi people, originally he thought that Qi people were just a group of two-legged sheep staying in the sheepfold, but when he really took a closer look, he found that this was clearly a two-legged tiger!
Part of the reason why Anluo sat in the rear of the Eastern Route Army and held heavy troops in his hands was reluctant to send troops to respond to the photo. He originally planned to make the battle between the people of Qi and Qi about to be defeated, and then go south, otherwise, wait and see, as for whether to withdraw or not, we will talk about it later.
Now he suddenly found that these Qi people were under his nose, pursuing all the way, the army on the East Road was defeated and retreated, and the pictures were also withdrawn from the territory of Qi in embarrassment, and there was a tendency to break bamboo. Anluo couldn't sit still, vaguely aware that a great century had been missed by him. Regardless of whether the war goes well or not, you have to win a few tough battles, and you can give an explanation to the Great Khan, but now that this battle is a mess, how can you explain to the Great Khan?!
Now it seems that it can't be delayed any longer, and sending troops is a must-do! If you miss an opportunity, you won't come back! It's just that things aren't going well. Anluo showed a slight intention to continue fighting, and the nobles suddenly hesitated:
"Really mobilize soldiers to fight hard? After the fight, it's spring, is there still time to kill all the people? The army of the Qi people, we have also touched, it is difficult to fight. If we can win, we will lose a lot, and besides, we have delayed the time, we have missed the opportunity for a big victory, the military rations will be exhausted, and the cattle, sheep and horses will be slaughtered almost completely, so it will be even more difficult to fight, and the people at the bottom of the world are actually complaining a lot these days......"
An Luo said with a dark face: "Qi people spared a big circle to cut off my back road, if I don't fight, I'm afraid I won't even be able to go home!" The more difficult it is, the more you have to fight! Give full play to our strengths, defeat them with horse battles, and fight quickly! Before Gao Yanzong and Gao Baoning join the siege, destroy this Gao Gong first! Break their heads and tails again, and break them one by one! What else can stop us from the flowers and mountains in this level? ”
These words made the group of people in front of them gasp for breath, their eyes were blood-red, and they couldn't wait to follow him with a knife right now.
Some of the more stable veterans changed their faces in an instant, and before they could say anything, they saw An Luo's thick palm slapping on the case: "I have made up my mind, and if I dare to dissent, I will be punished with cowardice, chopped and fed to the wolf!" ”
