"Woo~" The low sound of the horn echoed in the mountain col, one after another, the foot of the mountain began to make noise, the fog became thinner, and it had gradually dissipated, and it was barely possible to see the situation in the Turkic camp at the foot of the mountain, but for Yang Yuanba and Yang Sien, who had sharp eyes, there was no obstacle, they were located on the cliff seven or eight zhang high, and every move in the enemy camp could be seen clearly,

The Turkic dome tents were densely arranged, stretching for more than ten miles, there were at least three or four thousand tops, the Turkic soldiers came out of the tents one after another, one by one the armor was neat, each carrying a sheepskin roll for sleeping, and the horses were tied to the big tent, and they directly put the sheepskin roll and other materials on the horseback, looking at their appearance, they were ready to move to camp.

And at this time, it is a good opportunity to observe the enemy army, "Fifty people!" Wei Chidun said in a low voice, he has already observed five or six camp tents, basically fifty people, Yang Yuanba nodded, he also counted correctly, a team of 100 people live in two vaults, that is, the Turkic army below has about 150,000 people.

The second is to inspect the enemy's equipment, which is also the most important task of the scouts, of course, they already know this, and now they just want to confirm it.

When attacking the Turkic patrol post the night before, the equipment of the Turkic army could be seen from the patrol post, as the elite of the Turkic army, the patrol post must be the best equipment.

The patrol posts wear leather armor, which is understandable, after all, the Turks do not have such strong national strength, everyone wears iron armor, but wearing leather armor made of cooked cowhide can be easily done, even the Tianwu Army is not everyone Mingguang armor, at least half of the soldiers are using the barrel sleeve armor and two crotch armor left by the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

What Yang Yuanba sees now is basically leather armor, some rough and delicate, but there is also iron armor, that is, the personal soldiers of the Turkic Khan, around a huge dome with a golden wolf's head banner, there are thousands of iron armored soldiers, all of them are two crotch armor.

At this time, Yang Yuanba's attention was focused on the huge dome tent, which should be the big tent of Datou Khan, and he was so close, less than three hundred steps, Yang Yuanba turned his head and glanced at Yang Sien, it happened that Yang Sien was also looking at him, the two looked at each other, revealing a kind of resolute courage to kill Datou Khan.

But they didn't have a chance, a Turkic leader in gold armor walked out of the big tent, and there was a tsunami-like shout all around, he turned on his horse, waved his hand, and thousands of iron-armored knights escorted him to the depths of the big tent, all the way there were countless soldiers kneeling and shouting, and gradually moving away.

Yang Yuanba glanced at Yang Sien again, and at this time they both showed a bitter smile and regret, Liu Jian rushed over, "Huo Chang, you can sort out the information." ”

Yang Yuanba nodded, took out a thin piece of silk paper, used a special reed tube pen, dipped it in light ink, and wrote information on the thin white silk paper, the number of people, equipment, morale, and the commander, the current station, the grain and grass do not need to be written, the intelligence is not Yang Yuanba alone, everyone needs to communicate, reach a consensus, if there is a disagreement, continue to explore, fortunately, their opinions are the same.

Yang Yuanba waved and gently dried the ink, among the fire soldiers, only Yang Yuanba and Fat Yu were literate, and Yang Sien barely knew a few words.

"Fire Chief, your handwriting is so neat!" Wei Chi Xuan whispered behind him.

Yang Yuanba turned around and smiled slightly, "Wei Chi, do you want me to teach you how to read?"

Wei Chidun's expression was a little twisted, and he smiled embarrassedly: "I think I want to think about it, but I'm afraid that I'm impatient, I heard that I have to memorize a lot of books." ”

"I simply taught you to know a few hundred words, and I didn't choose you to be a county official, what books to memorize?"

When Wei Chidun heard that there was no need to endorse the book, he immediately rejoiced: "That's okay! I can also write a handwritten letter to my father and mother when I have time to teach me." ”

"Fire Chief!"

Liu Jian scratched his head on the side and grinned: "Can you also teach me, I am thinking about being the head of the regiment in the future, I have to look at military orders and documents, how to do it if I can't read, don't be cheated." ”

Yang Yuanba laughed, "No problem, after we go back to the barracks, I will be a gentleman for everyone." ”

At this time, his silk paper had dried, and he carefully folded and rolled it up, stuffed it into a small thin bamboo tube, sealed it with white wax, and handed it to Wei Chi Xuan.

Wei Chi Dan made a whistle, the falcon above his head slowly circled down, and finally stopped on his shoulder, Wei Chi Tang tied the thin bamboo tube to the eagle's legs, at this time, Yang Yuanba asked a little strangely: "How do you let the eagle go back to the barracks?

Wei Chi Dun smiled slightly: "My eagle has been specially trained, I will send a signal, it will fly south, to find the eagle tower, the eagle tower is in the camp, the color is very bright, there are special people over there, my father trained it in the military palace for three years, and finally succeeded." ”

"Is your father also a government soldier?" asked Liu Jian curiously next to him.

Wei Chidun ignored him, tied the bamboo tube, he took out a short white three-hole bone flute, he played three long and one short flute, and played it three times, only to see the falcon on his shoulder fluttering its wings, circling in the air a few times, flapping its wings and flying south.

Yang Yuanba suddenly remembered the eagle he shot to death, and felt a trace of regret in his heart, shooting an eagle to death, and finally plucking only one feather, it was too violent.

．．．．．．

When the four of them returned to the cave, it was already afternoon, they drank a few sips of water, ate some dry food, and rested for a while, it was time to set off and return to the camp, their task had been completed, and they did not need to continue to follow, they were like arrows, and they could not stay for a moment.

"Huo Chang, this is the ashes of Zhang Brocade!"

Zhao Mingsheng handed him a clay pot, Yang Yuanba nodded silently, took the clay pot, Yang Su ruled the army very strictly, but there was no lack of kindness, all the bones of the fallen soldiers must be sent back to their hometowns, civilian officials must write deeds, if there is slackness, they will be beheaded, and the small work must be recorded, so the soldiers are also willing to serve him to the death.

Yang Yuanba put the clay pot into his horse bag, and smiled at the Sogdian Kangbas: "You go back to the camp with me, and I will exempt you from being a prisoner of war." ”

Kang Bas was overjoyed and became a prisoner of war of the Tianwu Army, he didn't know what the result would be, exempting the prisoner of war meant that he could return to his hometown, he knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Yuanba, turned over and got on his horse, but Yang Yuanba gave him Zhang Jin's armor and weapons, "Put it on! I happen to have one less subordinate, so you can replenish it." ”

Combas was stunned, and he couldn't return to his hometown after a long time.

The scouts of the Tianwu army traveled all the way south, and at dusk, they walked out of the forest, and in front of them was the reckless grassland, but things were often not so smooth, and just as they walked out of the forest, a Ming Di swept over their heads, making a sharp whistling, 'Boom-'

"Mingdi!"

The scouts were discolored, they were discovered by the Turkic sentinels hiding in the trees, they turned their horses and ran towards the forest, but it was too late, two Turkic cavalry of 100 men each came from the north and south, and one of them rushed into the forest with 50 men, cutting off their escape back to the forest.

Datou Khan's nephew Ashina Boli did not return to the camp for a long time, causing Datou to worry, he suspected that there were scouts of the Tianwu army nearby, so he sent twenty teams of thousands of cavalry out to look around, Yang Yuanba and they encountered two of the hundred teams.

"Everybody come with me!"

Yang Yuanba saw that it was impossible to escape, he reined in the horse's head and shouted to his subordinates: "Break through to the south!"

Now their only chance was to break through before the two teams met, and he rode his horse, and the horse stabbed obliquely, and he opened his bow and slammed into an arrow, and the arrow went like lightning, and a hundred paces away, a centurion who led the way screamed, turned over and fell off his horse, and then another arrow on the left side, knocking down another centurion.

The subordinates released arrows one after another, and the range of the bow and arrow of the Tianwu army was more than twice that of the Turkic army, and the advantage was obvious, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten people were shot down, but the Turks were extremely fast, and they surrounded them in an instant, and a Turkic officer wearing a silver helmet was shouting loudly.

"What position is that person and what is he talking about?" Yang Yuanba asked back.

"He's a thousand-commander, he said he caught it alive!"

Yang Sien roared, danced his horse lance, and rushed towards the silver helmet commander, "Capture the thief and capture the king first, let Lao Tzu kill him!"

Yang Yuanba couldn't shout, they were going to rush out of the encirclement from the weakest point, there were too many people around the commander, they were going to suffer a big loss, he also shouted, "Brothers, follow me to break through from here!"

He brandished a broadsword, rushed to the weakest point, the war horse rushed into the enemy group, the long knife slashed, split a Turkic soldier in two, the knife was not exhausted, and another human head was chopped, at the moment of life and death, he also let go, his courage and knife skills to the fullest, like a tiger down the mountain, hacked seven or eight Turkic soldiers to death in an instant, the corner of his eye swept over, his subordinates followed him, followed by Wei Chi Dan.

At this moment, I saw a miserable scream, "Fire Chief!"

Yang Yuanba turned his head, only to see Zhao Mingsheng pierced through the stomach by a spear, knocking him to the ground, the Turkic soldiers rushed up, Zhao Mingsheng screamed sadly, "Huo Chang, brother go first!"

He stabbed himself in the chest with a backhand and died of exhaustion.

Yang Yuanba's eyes were red, his lips were bitten bloody, he danced the big knife like crazy, killing the Turkic army to the point of flesh and blood, and the corpses were piled up, he had hacked more than 20 people to death before and after, covered in blood, and at this time he heard a long scream behind him, and another scout He Liu, who was slightly weaker in martial arts, was put around his neck by a rope and fell off his horse, he desperately killed one person, and the Turkic army was furious and hacked him to death.

At this time, Yang Sien also fought through the encirclement and converged, both of them were strong in martial arts, and they cooperated with each other, and they gradually fought their way out.

Their breakthrough was only a short moment, the two Turkic armies began to close, the silver helmet officer led by the leader killed from the side, he shouted loudly, commanded the army to surround the Sui army, he was a commander of a thousand commanders, his status was quite high, and he knew that it was of great significance to capture the scouts of the Tianwu army.

At this moment, Wei Chidun looked at an empty space, drew his bow and shot an arrow, the commander couldn't dodge, and was shot by an arrow in the face, screaming and falling off the horse, and the Turkic soldiers saw the leader fall off the horse, they were all panicked, and they stepped forward to help, and a crack appeared in the formation.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was seized by Yang Yuanba, he roared, killed four or five people in a row, and Yang Sien rushed, and actually opened a bloody road, everyone rushed out of the encirclement, and rushed to the south, at this time, the Turkic soldiers saw that there was no hope of being captured alive, and they released arrows together, and the arrows were fired together, and Wang Sanlang and Liu Jian, who were running at the end, screamed at the same time, and the arrows fell from the horse, and Wang Sanlang was shot through the neck by the arrows, and fell to the ground and died.

Liu Jian's war horse was hit by an arrow, and he himself was also shot in the shoulder and thigh, he staggered and ran two steps, fell to the ground, and shouted in grief: "Huo Chang, save me!"

Yang Yuanba's Baiyun horse galloped past, wielding a broadsword with one hand and striking arrows, dozens of Turkic soldiers caught up, Yang Sien roared and rushed forward to stop the Turkic soldiers.

"Take him away!"

As soon as Yang Yuanba leaned over, grabbed Liu Jian's heart and turned the horse's head and galloped, Liu Jian was too heavy, and the war horse was a little unaffordable, Yang Yuanqing simply threw away the big knife and ran dozens of steps, he threw Liu Jian onto another horse, and everyone galloped away.....

When night fell, and the sky was full of stars, the scouts who had escaped from the disaster finally fell from their horses in exhaustion by a small river like a jade belt, and they struggled to crawl to the river, buried their heads in the river and gulped the water, and each of them was stained red with blood.
