Chapter 19: Night Attack in Yinshan

Yi Shibo started to intercept and deploy in Yinshan four days ago. A message sent by the Turkic Khan Yangan sent him to learn that his enemy Yang Yuanqing was not in Dali City, but was on his way back from the Turkic den. ("《" website 7*24 hours a day of continuous updates on pure txt hand-telling novels.com)

In any case, Yang Yuanqing had to cross Yinshan before returning to Dali City. Yi Shibo made a vow that he must use Yang Yuanqing's head to worship his two sons. Now his opportunity has come. In order to intercept the enemy, Yi Shibo used almost all the power of Xue Yantuo. He used the command of the goshawk to deploy more than 100,000 Xue Yantuo troops at various passes across Yinshan. Any Sui army that crossed Yinshan must be killed.

Under the strong stimulation of the revenge of killing children, Yi Shibo gradually lost his mind, forgot the overall situation of the grassland, forgot the Qiyeren who were eyeing him, and also forgot the Turkic things that had ulterior motives for Xue Yantuo.

Yi Nan, the eldest son of Yi Shibo, was wearing leather armor and leather helmet, rode a horse in Xueyantuo camp. His eyes were full of worries and concerns about his father. On the open space ahead of him, dozens of simple siege ladders were placed, and several nest cars standing like giants in the air. Hundreds of Xueyantuo craftsmen were jingling in one corner to build a city-hit car. Xueyantuo learned some siege equipment production techniques from the Turks, which was their first time in siege war.

Yi Shibo was riding a horse to inspect the construction of these siege weapons. In a month, he had built hundreds of siege weapons and a large number of arrows. In another twenty days, when the ice and snow on the grassland melted slightly and before the Yellow River thawed, he would attack Dali City in large numbers. He saw with his own eyes that the inner city of Dali City was not completed, which made him full of confidence. He wanted to batter Dali City and take revenge.

"Father Khan!"

The eldest son Yi Nan saw his father from afar. He shouted and ran up. Yi Shibo looked at his son unhappily, and his eyes were disgusted. Yi Nan always advised him to give up the revenge of killing his son, but his son was killed by Shi Duo, but he never forgot.

"What's the matter?" Yi Shibo asked impatiently.

"Father Khan, I just got the news that Qibi has gathered south of Kingsoft, and they are ready to declare war on us. "《》.com.com" Yi Nan was so anxious that he sweated heavily.

Yi Shibo looked at him coldly, "I had known about this, so what if I had known about it?"

Yi Nan shouted in a hurry, "Father Khan, since you know, why do you still offend the Sui Dynasty? You are trapped in an enemy from both sides!"

Yi Shibo was furious. He pulled out his spear and knocked Yi Nan down from the ground. He pointed the spear tip at his chest and cursed: "You coward, your two younger brothers were killed by Yang Yuanqing. You don't want to take revenge and are you still afraid of offending him. Are you still a grassland man?"

"I am not a coward, Father Khan, your eyes blinded by hatred will ruin our Xueyantuo!"

Yi Nan was furious, and he tore open his leather robe, exposed his chest, and shouted loudly: "Father Khan, you kill me! I would rather be killed by you."

A dozen generals next to him rushed forward and dragged Yi Nan down. When they saw Yi Shubo's anger, they trembled all over and quickly advised Yi Nan, "Big Prince, don't offend Khan anymore, just bear it!"

"I've been patient enough!"

Yi Nan broke free from the drag of the crowd and rushed to Yi Shibo and shouted: "Xue Qiluo died on the battlefield. Which son did not die on the battlefield? Shi Duo went to be a robber and killed people and set fire. His death was his own fault. Now the enemy is in front of you, but you are concerned about these personal grievances. How much do you want Xue Yantuo to pay for your hatred?"

"You bastard!"

Yi Shibo's murderous intent burst out. He pulled out his knife and slashed his son's neck. Everyone was prepared for it. They rushed forward, grabbed Yi Shibo's arm, hugged his waist, and shouted to Yi Nan: "Big Prince, go quickly! Go quickly!"

Yi Nan sighed, turned over the horse, whipped the war horse hard, and ran towards the west. Yi Shibo stared at his back. After a long time, he said coldly: "From now on, Yi Nan is no longer the heir of Xueyantu Khan, but my nephew Shaluli is the heir of Xueyantu Khan."

He turned his horse's head and headed towards his big tent. He heard him shouting from afar: "If you don't kill Yang Yuanqing, I will never be a human being!"

One thousand five hundred camels gathered together, and one thousand Qiezi soldiers and five hundred elite Sui army formed a temporary military alliance and marched towards Yinshan. They will face the interception of Xue Yantuo's army together. ("《" website 7*24 hours of continuous update of pure txt hand-telling novel.com)

The equipment of the Qibian army was basically the same as that of the Western Turks. They wore a thick slim hat, a leather robe, and tightly wrapped in leather armor. The weapons were bows and arrows, swords and spears. They were all tall and described as tough, and they were extremely skillful in controlling Luo Luo.

While the Sui Qi coalition forces were heading towards Yinshan, the Chali brothers also led a tribe of hundreds of people to begin to migrate northward, and they also realized that it was not safe to get close to Yinshan.

Yinshan Mountain is majestic and round. Among the long mountains that have thousands of miles long, there are dozens of passes that can cross Yinshan, but it takes dozens of miles to enter these passes to cross Yinshan. There are basins, valleys and alpine pastures distributed in Yinshan. The forests are dense, with many animals, and there are many ravines that can hide the army.

It is precisely because of the complex terrain and numerous passes in Yinshan that Xue Yantuo dispatched more than 100,000 troops to intercept Yang Yuanqing and his party within a range of nearly a thousand miles.

Compared with the deep snow on the north side of Yinshan, although there is also snow on the south side of Yinshan, it is not that deep. Cavalry can walk on the snowfield, but they can't ride horses and can only move forward slowly.

In the evening of that day, a team of Xueyantuo cavalry composed of five thousand horses slowly crossed a mountain grassland and came to a basin with dense forests on both sides. In front of it was a valley. It seemed that an avalanche had occurred. The snow in the valley was more than one person deep, so they could not get through it. After leaving this Changsanli valley, they crossed Yinshan.

It was extremely difficult to ride a horse across Yinshan in winter. They walked for only a few dozen miles, and the soldiers were exhausted.

The leader of the team leader was a ten thousand men. Seeing that the soldiers were all exhausted, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone can camp on the spot!"

In a clearing in the basin, soldiers camped on the spot, fetching firewood everywhere to keep warm. Several officers surrounded the ten thousand men and said, "What should we do next? Are we going back?"

"Of course I'll go back! The person Khan is looking for didn't walk along this road. What are we doing here? Take a night off and go back tomorrow morning."

"But this is the main passage, if they......"

"What if you are tall!"

The ten thousand men slapped him with a slap, and he pointed to the valley that was obscured by the avalanche, "Look at that valley, can they pass?"

The officers no longer cared about this matter, they changed the topic, "Captain Wanwu, I heard that Khan changed Shaluli to his heir. Is this true?"

Wanfu sighed, "The Yi Nan has vision and a mind. It is the hope of our Xue Yantuo's prosperity. Sha Lu hunts for debauchery, I really don't know what Khan thought?"

"I think Khan is so confused that he wants to take revenge, he actually wants to attack the Sui Dynasty."

"You are right. Khan was blindfolded by hatred. His real enemy was not ready to fight, but he sent more than 100,000 people to find a team of Sui soldiers. Alas! Hey! He really can't talk about him."

The captain of ten thousand sighed helplessly, and he stood up and said to everyone, "Go to rest early, take good energy and go back tomorrow, and there are patrols and alerts, be careful of the wolf pack at night."

Xue Yantuo's army was exhausted and had no intention of making fire and barbecue. They ate some dry food randomly, so they went into the camp to sleep.

The sky gradually became dark, and there was silence in Xueyantuo's camp. The soldiers were already asleep. A group of patrols patrolled around the neighborhood. In the distance, there was a guard post squatting on two big rocks on the left and right sides, wrapped in blankets, but they were still trembling with the cold wind.

In a forest about three miles away from Xueyantuo Camp, Yang Yuanqing was riding on a war horse and was staring coldly at the camp in the distance. Five thousand enemy troops were opened and Yi Shibo gave him a big gift.

"General Yang, let's kill the sentry first!" Qi Lie smiled.

"Okay! Let's do the post and leave the patrol team to you."

Yang Yuanqing and Qi Bilie hit the high fives. Yang Yuanqing waved his hand and several Sui army archers followed him. They were quick and soon they ran to a place not too far from the two guard posts. They hid behind a big rock. He pointed his hand to the left, and the two soldiers rushed away, hiding behind another big rock.

Yang Yuanqing drew an arrow and applied a little poison to the arrow, "Papamu". He had discovered that this poison was a powerful weapon to deal with the sentry. He shot an arrow and the sentry died immediately without having time to shout.

He set off the bow and arrow, looked at the two soldiers again. They also applied medicine and were ready. Yang Yuanqing made a gesture for them. They pulled the bow and shot arrows at the same time. The two sentries on the rocks groaned, one fell off the stone, and the other died on the stone.

The patrol team was about a dozen people on the other end of the basin. They rode horses back and forth in the snow. When they patrolled to a place with thick snow, suddenly the snow on the ground rose into the air, pounced on more than a dozen patrol soldiers from the horse, and cut off their heads with one knife. They were clean and neat, and more than a dozen patrol soldiers screamed without a single scream.

Only then did Yang Yuanqing see clearly that it turned out to be more than twenty Qiezi soldiers wearing white cloaks. When they were lying on the ground, the color of the snow was exactly the same as the one in the snow, and they couldn't tell at all.

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise. This method of disguised ambushing was indeed unique. He led two soldiers to quickly run back and rolled over the camel. He was about to order an attack, but Qi Lie grabbed him and shook his head at him.

"What, what's wrong?"

Qi Lie pointed to Yang Yuanqing and his camels and said, "Your camel is a merchant camel. You have never experienced the chaos of camping and will be frightened. Our camels have been specially trained and you are responsible for intercepting and killing on the periphery."

This sentence made Yang Yuanqing nodded, and he realized that camels, like war horses, also have special training.

"Okay! Let's go to the south to intercept."

Yang Yuanqing waved his hand and five hundred Sui soldiers urged the camel to follow him to run south.

Seeing them gradually moving away, Qie Lie slowly pulled out the shiny sword, waved the sword forward, and a thousand Qie Warriors kicked the camel hard. The camel began to run, and gradually ran faster and faster, like crazy, a thousand camel cavalry danced their swords, rushing like a flood, and rushed towards Xueyantuo camp three miles away.
