The veterans of the six towns of the Northern Qi Dynasty are experienced, and under the leadership of more than 1,000 veterans, the army of Yang Huan's department formed a camp in half a day, rejecting horses, watchtowers, and city walls, and repairing them actually looked a little. The camp established by the Qi army relying on the 'Great Wall' presents a "pin" type, with the main force of infantry in front and condescending, and relatively flexible cavalry and armored infantry stationed in the rear on both sides.

This is the beauty of the 'Great Wall' of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After the camp was built, the Metropolitan Governor Yang Yan looked at the terrain by the railing, couldn't help but smile with his beard, and said to the left and right:

"Later generations always listened to the words of those Confucian scholars, and those who spoke about the first emperor would definitely say that he was cruel and unkind, did not care about the people's strength, and built the Great Wall to poison the world...... Although the First Emperor's cruelty and lack of compassion for the people may not be false, the construction of the Great Wall has absolutely nothing to blame. Those Confucian scholars would only sit at home and talk about it, and they knew that building the Great Wall would have at least two benefits:

"First, the pain of reversing the game. The Rouran of the past and the Turks of today are all Hulu who fight the world on horseback. When the war comes, the family business comes, and the running and animal husbandry flee together, and they are not restricted at all, so they can repeatedly be a disaster for the Central Plains. After the construction of the Great Wall, we only need to be stationed on the various passes of the Great Wall to ensure the safety of the hinterland of the Central Plains.

"Second, the Hu people of the north are long in field battles and short in sieges, coming and going like the wind. If the Great Wall had not been built, the Hu people would have galloped into the interior to burn and loot, and the losses of the dynasty would have been much greater than the cost of building the city walls...... If it is a large group of Hu people, the Central Plains Wang Shi is naturally not afraid, and it can be surrounded and destroyed, but if it is a small group of enemies entering and looting, I am afraid that the border army will not be able to respond in time, they will also burn and loot, and leave directly after arson, Wang Shi will not be able to catch up at all, so should he fight at that time? If you continue to pursue it, you will inevitably move the people and spend money like running water; But if it is not investigated, I am afraid that Hu Lu will think that the country is weak, and the next year will be worse. In this way, repairing the city is probably the most cost-effective method. ”

Yang Yan patted the bricks and stones on the city.

"Look at this boundary, built on the mountain, not only in terms of terrain and depth, but also on both sides of the city as a shelter, with sufficient troops and excellent armament, and the enemy cannot be overcome unless ten times the number of people is there.

"The Hulu south of this city have been expelled by our army, and behind them are Huaishuo, Wuchuan and other important military towns, so to speak, we are now soldiers, grain and grass, and there is no shortage of retreat. It's time to let go of your hands and feet to fight the Turks! ”

Previously, the morale of the army was low, and more than half of the reason was that the soldiers saw that the war was delayed, and they were afraid that as soon as the snow came, the Turks would cut off the Qi army's food route, and the Qi army would not have time to retreat, and they were afraid that they would fall into encirclement and annihilation.

Although this Qi army is a rare strong army, Yang Yan is also a famous general in the world, but this worry is still inevitably spread more and more, until the end, the military spirit has been affected, everyone does not want to stay in the Turkic home field and fight with the Turks, even the Khitan warriors who are known for their skill in bows and horses, are not willing to fight with more than ten times the Turks in the unobstructed snow, that is undoubtedly looking for death!

When they saw the city wall, the boulder hanging in the hearts of the Qi army was considered to have fallen to the ground, and they had a support in their hearts, knowing that the Turks could no longer treat them, so they all smiled and were excited. Among the generals, a few of them looked at each other, and they all waved their hands and said with a smile: "The governor of the capital is like a god with soldiers, and he expected that there would be today from the beginning, and he made plans for it early, and the last generals were so impressed that they threw themselves to the ground!" ”

Faced with a sound of sycophants, Yang Yan turned his face and said solemnly:

"Don't rejoice too soon, and don't think that you will be relieved to get out of danger. Ashina photographed this man, ambitious and self-serving, who has always regarded himself as the master of the Turkic revival, and we killed so many of his people, and swaggered away in front of several wolf riders, that is, we slapped him in the face several times, and I expect that he will not give up. ”

“…… Just now, the scouts came to report, and a large group of wolves rode to the north to assemble, as if they were going south. ”

The generals stopped the noise, and there was no more frivolity in their eyes, and some were just unprecedented solemnity.

Yang Yan took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, and then ordered:

"I know that you can fight, and you are not afraid to fight, but you remember that those who drown can water, and those who die in battle can fight...... You must not be careless to underestimate the enemy, you must also order your soldiers not to slack off, repair your bow, sharpen your sword, and act in strict accordance with orders, otherwise, I will recognize you, and military law will not recognize you! ”

"Obey the orders of the Governor!"

The generals knelt down on one knee together, clasped their fists and replied neatly. Yang Yan groaned slightly, and said lightly: "Go down and prepare." ”

Yang Yan lived up to his reputation as a famous general, and four days later, there was movement from the north and east, and the scouts who came and went to deliver the newspaper screamed so loudly that almost the entire battalion could hear: "- Report! The soldiers and horses of the Turks are gathering in a big way and coming south, with a huge momentum, about tens of thousands of people, and countless baggage, cattle and sheep, urgent! Hurry! ”

"——Report, the enemy army on the northeast side is less than twenty miles away from our army's city, and it is now stationed!"

Scouts on fast horses galloped in from the camp gates, shouting loudly that a bloody battle was coming. Everyone in the Qi army quickly made preparations for battle, they were going to put down the camp gate, but because there were still some scouts who went out and did not come back, they could only endure for the time being, and in the end, several scouts entered side by side, and almost everyone had a person lying on their horses, all of whom were shot through the neck by an arrow, and they had already lost their breath.

It is said that this scout team was out to spy on the military and encountered a wolf guard with a golden wolf flag, and they wanted to withdraw without disturbing the other party, but they were still discovered. There is no shortage of skilled archers in the wolf guard, each with a longbow to shoot this team of people and horses as rabbits, and a few of them were hit by an arrow through the throat, and directly lost their lives.

The general responsible for guarding the city gate was born in the Khitan Dahe clan, and he had a lot of contact with the Turks in his early years, and was familiar with the tactics, habits, and systems of the Turks. He said to a few of his comrades in awkward Chinese:

"You see, where these arrows are fired...... Such a thick arrow shaft passed through, but not much blood oozed out, and the archery skills of those people were very skillful, even in our large Khitan tribe, such archers were difficult to find. And they said that the Turks they saw were flying the golden wolf flag. But as far as I know, in the Turks only the Great Khan could use the golden wolf as a banner. ”

The expressions of several generals were also gloomy and could drip water, "You mean, the Turkic Great Khan is in person?" ”

"Yes, that's the only way."

Several people were silent, since the golden wolf flag was displayed, it also showed that the Turkic Great Khan was not far away, although this so-called Great Khan was actually just a puppet taken in the picture, but the appearance of this banner means that the Turks are likely to be a big war with all their national strength this time!

No wonder these Qi generals are dignified, although they have been at war with the Turks for a long time, they don't know that some time ago Anluo had given up the position of the Great Khan to the photograph, the photograph called himself 'Sha Bo Luo Great Khan', and canonized Anluo as the 'third khan', earlier he was just a minister, but now he is a real Turkic Khan, he is naturally qualified to play the golden wolf flag.

When the news was reported to Yang Yan, Yang Yan didn't care.

Yang Yan had long expected that the scale and scope of this plan would not be small, and he had prepared for war early, and now even if the so-called Turkic Great Khan came in person, he could not be frightened in the slightest, for him, this was just a small branch that was born outside the festival, and it was insignificant. The arrow is on the string, and it is nothing more than paying attention to a soldier to block, so he just gave a faint order:

"Convene the generals."

Yang Yan was more lenient in governing the army, and there were fewer regulations to restrain the sergeants, but there was only one thing that was extremely strict, that is, to be punctual, and those who did not come out of time would be killed.

Yang Yan asked the generals to put a stick of incense on the table, and the incense was not half burned, and the generals above the rank of captain were already standing full in the big tent. Yang Yan also put on his battle armor, sat murderously behind the handsome case, and ordered: "The Turks are menacing, I won't say anything superfluous...... The generals listened to the order, and after the tents were dispersed, they immediately purged the soldiers, organized the troops, and prepared to go out of the city to meet the battle! ”

Out of town to fight?

Rao is group of generals have been following Yang Yan for some years, and when they heard this order, they still felt their brains buzzing. Before these people could say anything, Yang Yan ordered again: "Wei Ying led 2,000 cavalry for the first team, Han Wufang led 3,000 infantry armor for the second team, and Dahe Shixiong led the infantry armor and 10,000 light cavalry to suppress the formation and sweep the third team." The rest of the generals led their own troops, and except for the first team, the rest of the troops were under my personal command, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"The last general obeys!"

All the generals took the order together.

Yang Yan glanced at one of the generals and said lightly: "Once the cavalry front army led by you encounters the Turkic army, it can only attack on both sides and bite it, if they send troops to chase and suppress, you should not fight with them, and get out immediately." In short, before the main Turkic forces arrived, they must not engage any of their troops, do you understand? ”

The general surnamed Wei was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked: "Governor, what is the reason for entanglement and not allowed to fight?" ”

Yang Yan's eyes suddenly became stern, and he shouted: "Military aircraft and military orders, the implementation is, why do you ask so much?!" In a word, before the main force of the Turkic army reaches the ditch in the northeast, if the troops you lead have a hand-to-hand fight with the Turks, no matter whether the outcome of the battle is victory or defeat, I will behead you and hang your head on the flag! ”

The general saw that the governor's expression was stern, and he didn't dare to let go of a fart, so he had to comply.

Waiting for the generals to disperse, Yang Yan sighed and sighed faintly: "The matter has come to this point, we had better expect Da Xi Changru to get a news soon, otherwise such a labor expedition, the loss of troops and generals, after tossing down, there is not a single hair, even if Your Majesty does not say it, the ministers of the court will not let us go easily." ”
