Cheng Yanjin had already noticed the footsteps, and when he heard Qin Shou's voice at this time, he immediately said, "Lord Shi has been here for a long time, why hasn't he come in?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Shou lifted the curtain and walked in.

"It's not too early, Lord Zhen should rest early." Cheng Yanjin said with a smile, "But what the prince said in front of the army today made the old man also surging with enthusiasm." ”

Qin Shou smiled and didn't answer.

He took out the secret letter from his bosom, put it on the case, and said, "Please take a look at Lord Cheng." ”

Cheng Yanjin saw Qin Shou's face become serious, and he also knew that this letter was not trivial, so he immediately put away his smile and opened the secret letter.

This look made Cheng bite Jin's expression shocked.

Inside is a map detailing the terrain ahead, the Turkic ambush points, and the number of people at each point.

"Where did this come from?"

Cheng Yanjin reacted immediately, and said in a deep tone.

Qin Shou's eyes condensed slightly, and he said with a straight face: "I can't say it directly, but General Cheng can rest assured that I will never do anything to betray Datang." ”

"I have my own way."

Cheng Yanjin glanced at Qin Shou deeply, frowned, and asked, "The army that pursued the Turks before was the prince's private soldier, right?" ”

As I said before, Cheng Yanjin is not simple, and a general who can lead troops to fight and has outstanding achievements will not be a simple-minded person.

I immediately figured out the doubts.

Qin Shou didn't react, didn't deny, didn't affirm.

— Nothing to say.

Cheng Yanjin let out a sigh, and suddenly laughed with relief, "If the prince doesn't say it, I naturally won't ask." ”

"This map should be regarded as a map from Ashina. It's good to search for it from the slave. ”

As he spoke, Cheng Yanjin once again set his eyes on the map.

This is a hand-drawn map, which is relatively fine, and the topography of the mountains and rivers is relatively obvious, so it is clear at a glance.

But there is one gorge that is highlighted.

There were heavy Turkic ambushes, about 1,500 people, hiding in higher ground on both sides.

"This is the only way for us to go to Ganzhou, the Turks are very smart, if we ambush here, with the method of fire attack, our army will definitely be in chaos, and the battle will be in chaos."

"How can this law be broken?"

Cheng bit Jin's brows tightened, obviously worried about this.

This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy is condescending, which can be said to occupy the best position.

Qin Shou had already seen the map by moonlight in the forest, and then asked Liu Cang's opinion, and he naturally had a countermeasure for this place.

As a general, you must not only understand the art of war, but also know astronomy and geography.

What's more, there is an old Taoist priest in his army who likes to pretend to be a god and play ghosts, but his prediction is still very accurate.

"Because we can take a detour, the Turks are also a temporary ambush, and naturally they don't think too much about the direction of the wind."

"Master Cheng, tomorrow will be blowing a northwest wind."

"Northwest wind." Cheng Yanjin's face was full of doubts, and after carefully observing the map, he suddenly showed a look of understanding and laughed heartily.

"Good fellow, I see, I see!"

The prince woke up the dreamer this time! ”

This night seemed to be peaceful, but everyone's hearts were extremely unpeaceful.

"All the soldiers obey the order!"

"I'll fight to the death! It's bound to kill all the Turkic dogs in the world! ”

"Recast the glory of the Tang Dynasty!"

The whole army set off.

On the road to Ganzhou.

The officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty marched in unison.

And right in the bushes on both sides of the valley ahead.

A group of soldiers in animal skin armor and scimitars in their hands were prostrate on the ground.

They were none other than the Turks who were responsible for the ambush.

And not far from the entrance of the valley, there was a group of cavalry waiting for them.

At the head was a young man with a golden sword pinned to his waist.

Beside him, there are two men with sharp blades on the left and right.

"Tuli Khan, this is a great time for us to make meritorious contributions."

"If we capture the king, our tribe will also be able to take the opportunity to ask the Great Khan for more pasture."

The man with the blade in his hand smiled brightly, as if he had seen the tragic situation of the Tang soldiers being ambushed.

The other person said with a serious face: "Jie Shen, don't take it lightly." ”

"It seems that the detachment sent before has not returned, and I think it has already encountered an accident."

The young man at the head sighed slightly, his face heavy.

The sergeants he led would be responsible for the charge, in order to disperse the Tang army.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Tang army, the ambush sergeants on both sides launched an attack, and countless arrows fell in the course of time.

Indiscriminate attacks.

Including the army he led.

The Turki Khan didn't know that this was the Jieli Khan who wanted to use this battle to weaken his own power.

The Turki Khan was surrounded by many tribes, and with his youth and prowess, his power grew even greater.

Although Jieli Khan and Tuli are uncles and nephews, the two sides have always had a rivalry in secret, and even a small conflict.

But this time, they were united and prepared to conquer this battle.

"All the hay and dead branches are ready?"

About a mile away from the valley, Cheng Yanjin suddenly called the army to stop, and then asked.

The soldiers below nodded and said, "General Cheng, everything is ready." ”

Qin Shou got down from his horse, grabbed a handful of loess, and gently threw it up.

A gust of wind drove the loess and landed in front.

He nodded and said, "The wind is just right." ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded and said sharply: "Set fire." ”

Within the valley.

Little by little, as time passed.

"Something doesn't seem right."

The Turkic soldier ambushed in the bushes frowned, then shook his nose.

"It smells burning."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw thick smoke billowing into the valley carried by a strong wind.

The valley here is not wide, only about 10 zhang, so it is easier to be filled with smoke.

Qin Shou looked at the raging fire in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, "Set fire to the mountain..."

"What?" Cheng Yanjin didn't hear too clearly, turned his head and asked.

Qin Shou, on the other hand, shook his head with a smile and said, "It's nothing." ”

"It's almost time."

After saying that, Qin Shou held the gentian bright silver spear and shouted: "Charge with me!" ”

The reins bent in the air, then suddenly straightened.

Then, hundreds of cavalry rushed out with Qin Shou.

Qin Shou naturally did not want to rush into the valley, but led the sergeant to rush to a nearby ambush point.

Even if there was thick smoke enveloping the Turks, disturbing the sight of the Turks, they were still occupied by the Turks after all, and if they fired arrows from a high place, the Tang soldiers were still at a disadvantage.

So after Qin Shou took out the map yesterday, Cheng Yanjin formulated a plan to break them one by one.

And just after Qin Shou rushed out of the formation, the Tang army divided into three ways and rushed out.

The heavy troops in ambush at the mouth of the gorge are not the closest, and the terrain of the valley is complex, so it takes some effort to support, and there is thick smoke interference, which makes it doubly difficult to support.

Naturally, the Tuli Khan saw the smoke, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
