The frost was everywhere, the wild grass was withered and yellow. At the grass at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, the cavalry of Tiel Xueyantuo of a certain unit in Tuyuhun were chasing against each other with several times their ambush. Although they were gradually at a disadvantage, they still fought tenaciously.

The cavalry on both sides fought in the grassland, and from time to time, people fell off their horses, shouted and neighed everywhere, and the soldiers of the two armies were mixed together.

Xue Yantuo's soldiers fought bloody battles, but the advantage of numbers made the battle situation gradually more beneficial to Tuyuhun's side. Xue Yantuo also gave Khan Yi's bowl. Seeing that the battle situation was critical, he ordered his subordinates to gather.

The soldiers piled dead horses into walls, curled into round formations, and then inserted their spears to the ground, with the spear tips facing the outside as deer antlers, and confronted the Tuyuhun army that was surrounded.

Xue Yantuo's soldiers were wearing sufficient arrows and iron armor, so they kept shooting the approaching Tuyuhun soldiers with their strong bows. The opponent's armor rate was not high, so they could not take advantage of the attack.

If you use a horse arch to shoot, the range is not enough for Xue Yantuo's arch to go far, so the battle situation is stalemate, and Xue Yantuo's army gradually stabilizes its position.

But there was no water source in their location, and Tuyuhun's side had the advantage of military strength. As long as they kept besieging them and surrounded them for a period of time, Xue Yantuo's soldiers could only kill horses and drink blood. Without horses, they could not escape even if they wanted to.

Yeh Khan, who was in the formation, saw that the enemy soldiers temporarily stopped attacking and asked his subordinates to seize the time to count the number of people and see how the casualties were. He had several arrows inserted into his body, and he didn't care about handling it.

Seeing that all the troops were injured and had arrows inserted on their bodies, Khan also sighed that the battle was fierce, and he couldn't help but be glad that the armor was strong enough.

The armor made by Zhou State was extremely strong, with two sets of soft inside and hard outside on their body, and generally the wave arrow could not be shot through at all. In this fierce battle, if Xue Yantuo soldiers were not wearing armor, they would probably have suffered more than half of the casualties not long after the battle.

Looking outside, he saw the Tuyuhun soldiers cleaning the battlefield. The armor on the Xueyantuo soldiers who fell into battle was stripped off one by one by the Tuyuhun soldiers and put it on the spot. This situation made Khan a little helpless.

Seeing that the armor of his tribe was stripped off as a spoil, put it on, and then he would come to beat him in a while, it was really distressing to Khan. After all, these iron armors were finally obtained from Zhou Guo.

After this battle, I didn’t know how many people could capture, nor did I know that Zhou State would not give additional rewards.

Khan also put away his thoughts. His tribe's strength was still a little weak, so when attacking Tuyuhun, he had to pull the Qiezi tribe together to ensure a complete victory.

If the Qibiao tribe was there, how could it be surrounded by the enemy now?

Last year, Khan also followed the command of Zhou State and pulled the Qiezi troops to send troops together, traveled to Dadoubagu into the Xihai area, and caught Tuyuhun off guard, so he gained a lot.

The capture of tens of thousands of men and women and tens of thousands of animals greatly expanded the strength of the two tribes. The subsequent rewards from Zhou State also greatly encouraged the morale of the tribes.

The Zhou State used the Xueyantuo tribe and the Qiezi tribe as a stick and knocked against the disobedient neighbor Tuyuhun. Khan knew very well, but he was willing to be a hawk for the Zhou State. After all, the benefits were real.

However, last year's attack did not seem to have made Tuyuhun sober, and Tuyuhun's Busabo Khan Murong Fuyun did not surrender to Zhou.

Khan also heard from the Zhou official that the Crown Prince of Zhou was waiting in the east of the West Sea at the end of the year, and waited for Murong Fuyun to apologize, but waited for the rest and the right, but there was no movement.

Therefore, this year, Zhou State asked Khan to continue to go south and attack Tuyuhun from the north to support the Zhou army that attacked the Xihai area from the east.

This idea is good, and Khan is also preparing to do a big fight, obtain more population and livestock from Tuyuhun, and strengthen his strength as much as possible.

But Yi Wuzhen of the Qiye tribe, Mo He Khan, was worried that after this trip to the south, the Turks would take advantage of the situation and seize their way of retreat. At that time, they would be in a dilemma, and the tribes would be separated and everything would be over.

Therefore, the Qiezi army did not send troops this time. Now, Ye Khan had to bite the bullet and lead his subordinates to defend until the detoured Zhou army arrived.

As he thought about it, he was a little anxious. According to the agreement with the marching general manager of Zhou State surnamed Li, the two sides attacked separately. Xue Yantuo's troops pursued the Tuyuhun army on the surface, which might have been a deceptive defeat. The Zhou army was detouring in secret, and finally attacked inside and outside.

Now, the Tuyuhun Army was indeed a fraudulent defeat and pretending to lose, leading him into an ambush. Now he and his subordinates are defending here. If the Zhou army cannot get through to rescue, they will probably die here.

Or, then General Manager Li deliberately delayed coming, and waited for them to exhaustion, Xue Yantuo's troops were finished, and Tuyuhun's side also suffered heavy casualties, and then Zhou army came to pick up the ready-made ones?

The more Khan thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, he could only be calm and walked back and forth in the formation, cheering his subordinates from time to time: "Don't panic, the Zhou army will come soon!"

"As soon as the Zhou army arrived, we attacked both inside and outside, and beat the enemy to pieces!"

He said that, Khan was still nervous. He looked at the sun gradually rising above his head and cursed in his heart: "If you don't save me when you see me, I won't let you go even if I die!"

......

"Haqiu!!"

Li Jing sneezed and woke up from his sleep. In his dream, he was shopping in East City, Chang'an, and his eyes were dazzled when he saw the dazzling array of goods here.

The general who was guarding the side saw him wake up and asked quickly: "Master, don't catch a cold, this ghost place will be very troublesome to get sick!"

"Okay, okay, your nose is itchy... When is it?" Li Jing asked, rubbed his nose, and looked at the night sky without moonlight and stars.

“It’s six o’clock in the morning.”

Hearing this, Li Jing lifted the blanket wrapped around him, sat up, and rubbed the armor leaves on his body, making a slight sound.

He looked around. Except for the soldiers who were watching horses at night, the other soldiers were sleeping on the ground wrapped in blankets. Because it was in the early morning, the night grass on the ground was almost covered with white frost.

It is spring now, and the Central Plains is in full bloom, but the Xihai area is still cold, especially in the middle of the night, people sleeping in the wild will easily catch a cold if they are not careful, but they cannot make a fire to keep warm, so they can only carry it by wrapping a blanket.

Li Jing rubbed his face and whispered: "Call everyone up immediately, hurry up and eat dry food, and prepare to attack!"

"yes!"

Li Jing hugged and came to the top of the earth slope, looked at the flashing fire in the distance, and asked the soldiers on the night side: "How, have they started to do it at night?"

"When I go back to the headmaster, I shouldn't be really hit. I just blow the trumpet from time to time and act like I want to beat him. I should be tormenting Xueyantuo's troops so that the other party cannot rest."

After the soldier said that, he looked at Li Jing expectantly: "Master! We stood by and watched yesterday. Are we going to take action now?"

"That's right! The Khan from Xueyantuo's tribe has been with him for a day. If the official army does not attack, he is afraid that he will curse our army and will die a bad death..."

After saying that, Li Jing chuckled slightly and looked at the Tuyuhun Camp in the distance, just like a hunter watching a prey falling into a trap.

You are very good at running away, right? This manager will not fight a defeat today, but will fight an annihilation war!
