On the sand in front of the mountain col, the earth has lost its color. Even though it is midsummer and the hottest time of the day, the scene before everyone is shocking to more than 40,000 Turks and Servants. The heart is frightened, the hair stands on end, and the hairs stand on end.
They couldn't help but panic. Thousands of human heads with ferocious faces and different expressions were piled up in a mess like winter melons. The layers were densely packed. The solidified blood dyed the sand at the foot of the mountain of heads into black. They were hovering in the sky. There are groups of vultures and eagles, and on the Human Head Mountain there are vultures that are not afraid of people, pecking at the eyes and skin of the human head.
There were also a few lonely old wolves who looked at them warily, then gnawed the human heads and skins fiercely. They seemed to be satisfied, and each reluctantly took a human head in their mouths and left.
"Ugh, vomit, vomit..." Anastasia's stomach spasmed, and she opened her mouth and vomited.
He is a Turkic warrior who is famous for killing people in the grassland. He has killed many people and seen many people killed by others. He thought that life and death were just that, and he even died like a wild wolf in the desert. Yes, he can accept it. But the cruel, bloody, and tragic picture in front of him made him understand how simple and kind he is.
Until Ashnada vomited out the gall water, a skin bag appeared in front of him.
Ashnada quickly took it, opened his mouth to swallow a large mouthful of water, rinsed his mouth, and then drank several large mouthfuls in succession. Only then did he suppress his churning stomach. He returned the water bag to Meng She next to him and said: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Meng She's eyes flashed with strong anger, and there seemed to be no excitement or anger as expected. His voice and tone were calm, but those who were familiar with Meng She knew that the young master had reached the extreme level of anger.
He called a captain and ordered: "Take people to bury the heads of the clan members."
"Yes!" The captain did not dare to neglect, and quickly summoned his soldiers to dismount and rush forward. When they stepped close to Rentou Mountain, they found that the ground was soft and sagging, and it seemed to be shaking, but everyone thought that the sand should be So, he didn't take it seriously and continued to rush forward.
But when the person at the front was about to get close to the head, they only heard a "boom" sound, and a large pit appeared out of thin air and swallowed up the entire team of 1,000 people, and the screams resounded through the sky.
Everyone was startled. Meng She took a closer look and almost lost his temper. In front of him was a long, hollowed-out pit with many tree stumps erected underneath and many spears of their skeleton servants stuck upside down. Because there were many tree stumps, the big pit was covered with thick tents, tents and tents with thin tents. The rope is tied tightly and covered with sand. The excavated sand and soil in the large pit were thrown on both sides. After being exposed to the sun, the color of the new soil was almost exactly the same as the surface. Moreover, with the shocking Rentou Mountain attracting attention, no one paid attention to these details at all.
The arrangement on the pit is very durable, but when the number of people increases, the tent suddenly collapses. The spears below pierced the tent and continued to pierce people. Some of the spears even skewered two or three people.
These impaled soldiers were not dead yet, and they were squirming and making pitiful screams and wails.
Neither Meng She nor Ashinada allowed the army to approach here, lest the Mount of Human Heads and the tragic scene affect the morale of the soldiers. After a short discussion, the two sent their most loyal and tenacious soldiers forward to wait for them to be careful. After testing, he found that there was no big hole, so he threw the heads on the mountain into the big hole and buried them with the soldiers who had fallen into the trap.
Next, the Turkic army drove their horses to explore the road. During the advance, horses fell into traps from time to time. Although the soldiers were no longer injured, the marching speed became very slow.
The entire army was on alert under the sun all the way, for fear of falling into an ambush by the Sui army. When they arrived at yesterday's battlefield, they saw another scene. The ground was full of corpses with their heads cut off, including those of lone wolves, vultures, and crows. Heaven.
The corpse had been dumped overnight and exposed to the sun for most of the day, and the stench permeated the entire basin.
The camp was a mess of blackened corpses, some unburned pillars and broken piles, and the smoke was curling up, which was horrible to see.
When they gathered and buried the bodies and set up camp on another piece of grass, it was already dark.
…
In the silent main tent, the light of the torch danced erratically with the light of the fire. From time to time, sparks jumped out of the torch, making a crackling sound.
Meng She rubbed his cheeks and tried to clear his mind. He was already exhausted after the day's march, and the things he encountered made him feel even more exhausted.
Although there has not yet been a formal battle, he has already lost more than 10,000 warriors. The remaining warriors have also been demoralized by the mountains of heads, traps, and seas of corpses, and are afraid that they will also have their heads removed silently. If we encounter another weird trap tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk thirty miles.
Just when he was about to go to Ashinada to discuss it, trumpets suddenly sounded outside.
Meng She was suddenly shocked, and his first reaction was that the Sui army stole the camp. He picked up his sword and rushed out of the camp. He only saw a commotion all around. There were soldiers preparing barbecues everywhere. These soldiers threw the meat on the ground and ran to each camp to gather with their weapons. However, half of the enemy troops in their imaginations Not one appeared.
"What's going on?" Meng She pulled over a guard and asked. He heard the sound of the horn but could not see any trace of the enemy. Meng She was very annoyed when he looked at the flesh that had been trampled on the ground.
"I don't know." The guard also looked at Meng She blankly.
Soon, Ashnada, who was responsible for the defense in the first half of the night, strode over and said angrily: "Those Sui soldiers are so despicable. They were blowing horns outside the camp and waited for our people to pass by, but they couldn't run away. Without a trace.”
"I'm afraid this is the Sui army's plan to tire out their troops!" Meng She quickly reacted.
Ashnada smiled bitterly and said: "We encountered some disgusting small groups of scouts during the day. Looking at this posture, they are preparing to drag us down so that we will not have the energy to go on the road tomorrow."
According to the news heard by the Turkic scouts, the main force of the Sui army had retreated to the west in a cloud of smoke. Maybe they had retreated to the north and south passes of the remaining mountains of Shiluoman Mountain.
Meng She participated in the Sui and Tu wars in the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor, and witnessed the power of the Sui army with his own eyes. He felt that the Sui army could not just use the tactics of exhausting troops. After pondering for a long time, he said to Ashinada: "The Central Plains People like to play such true and false conspiracies, and I think it’s better to be more prepared. This time it may be false, but next time it may be true.”
"I think so too." Ashnada agreed and said goodbye.
Meng She glanced at the dark night. After a short period of excitement, he seemed to feel much more tired than before. No matter what the Sui army's conspiracy was, it would be revealed tomorrow. How could a few scouts shake the military camp of tens of thousands of troops?
"woo woo woo woo…"
The soldiers had just sat down to prepare the barbecue, when the sound of horns startled them to their feet again. Pieces of meat fell into the fire again, and then they ran to assemble in confusion.
Meng She ran out again, with unconcealed murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Anyone who was harassed so continuously would not be in a good mood. He strode towards the gathering place, but before he could reach the gathering place, the horn sounded again. An abrupt end.
"Next time, send two thousand-man teams out to kill all these bastards." Meng She said angrily.
"Here!" General Pu Gu agreed.
This time, the soldiers also learned the lesson. No one grilled meat anymore. Instead, they ate dry food with water and fell asleep early.
But before long, the disgusting horn sound traveled from the north to the south, causing all the hunting plans of the two thousand skeleton soldiers to fail.
The Turkic soldiers took the mountain of corpses as a lesson during the day, and they all got up worried, but the horn sound stopped again.
Much of the night passed in shock, and the exhausted Turk became even more tired. In the end, he could not get up even with the sound of trumpets and loud killing sounds.
This continued until the sky showed a faint light, and the Sui army finally stopped coming to make trouble. The Turkic soldiers, including Meng She and Ashina Dabin, thought that it was almost dawn. No matter how small the Sui army was, He was bold and did not dare to attack the camp before dawn. So one and two of them slept peacefully, and no one wanted to get up after sleeping.
However, crises often occur at unexpected moments.
…
The bright sky gave the hills and woods a pale color, making everything blurry, even the tents in the military camp could be seen clearly.
A few hundred steps away from the military camp in the east, Master Yinshi, with a dozen captains and brigade commanders, stood on a bare and heavily weathered hill, looking at the camp under the tent.
The main force of the Yinshi Division did not leave. What the Turkic scouts saw was that more than 300 wounded soldiers tied the captured war horses together and hurried to the west. The momentum created by these more than 10,000 horses was naturally not small. They wanted to get a closer look, but were sniped and intercepted by the scouts behind them. Therefore, they subjectively judged that the Sui army had withdrawn westward.
In fact, the main force of the Sui army was hidden in front of them, and the harassment in the middle of the night was indeed a strategy to exhaust the troops. It also convinced the Turks that the Sui army was small.
People's hearts are often like this. If you take the initiative to expose yourself, the enemy will often stop being suspicious and believe everything they see and take it as truth.
The military camp in front of us was relatively crowded. The 10,000 soldiers who came first occupied the vast grassland. After it was burned, it became very messy. The newly arrived Turkic army did not station itself where it was, but chose the address of the military camp. On the narrower west side.
Due to the narrow terrain and large number of people, the tents were almost placed one next to another, densely distributed in east-west strips, with dense spears inserted on the west and north and south sides to prevent the Sui army from stealing the camp, but there were no spears on the east side. On the one hand, they did not have so many spears, and on the other hand, the Turkic army did not realize that the Sui army would attack from the east.
"There are too many enemy troops, and we simply can't kill them all. If they are waiting behind us, we will be surrounded by enemy troops. Once the sky breaks out, we will be finished. So our goal is not to kill as many enemies as we can. Instead, they set fire to the camp and disrupted the entire camp. The Turkic soldiers were tired and sleepy, like frightened birds. Once they woke up from their sleep, they saw the flames and figures all around, and heard the sound of killing everywhere. If you can swing a knife, cut it. As long as they are frightened and unable to form a formation, then we will be safe."
Master Yinshi pointed at the military camp and said: "We are going to fight directly from the east to the west. We must maintain the overall momentum. We must not fall behind, let alone fight."
After looking at the sky, he continued: "The sky will soon fall into the darkest moment, which is also the signal for our attack. Everyone, go and prepare."
"Here." Everyone responded softly and followed Master Yinshi down the hill. A soldier received the order and lit a torch three times.
When the soldiers lurking here saw the light of the fire, they all led their horses out of the forest. The generals' personal soldiers handed over their horses to the generals and led them to their troops.
The military camp was still silent. The Turkic soldiers who had been working hard for most of the night had fallen asleep. There were only three hundred-man teams patrolling near the military camp. One team patrolled back and forth along the due east, and the other two teams patrolled staggered along the camp gate.
After a while, the sky suddenly fell into darkness. The Sui soldiers headed by Yin Shishi held their straw horses in their hands and quietly touched outside the range of the firelight. If they went further, they would definitely encounter the sentries patrolling here. Discover.
Quan Xu, who was in the vanguard, rode forward, and his soldiers took off their crossbows and mounted their horses like Quan Xu did. Following Quan Xu's command to "shoot arrows", the crossbow was as full as the moon, and three hundred long arrows were shot out almost simultaneously, whistling towards the enemy.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" A series of screams suddenly tore apart the tranquility before dawn. In the midst of the screams, the elite cavalry split into two and rushed towards the two camps heading towards the camp gate from the north and south. patrol.
When this elite cavalry was separated from the left and right, the main force of the Sui army headed by Yin Shishi rushed towards the enemy camp.
More than 2,000 war horses were rampaging in the camp. As the soldiers on horseback rushed forward, they lit the bonfires with prepared torches on both sides of the main road of the camp. The torches were filled with kerosene, which ignited immediately, and then they threw them towards the camp. Very flammable tent. When they finished throwing the torches, they attacked the tents on both sides in front of them, using their weapons to cut off the ropes, and before the tents completely fell to the ground, they rode on their horses.
In an instant, screams came one after another, and the camp seemed to have exploded. Turkic soldiers fled from the tents in panic, like headless flies. The north and south ends of the military camp were blocked by dense spear arrays, but many soldiers seemed to have forgotten. After realizing this, they all fled to the north and south to avoid the invading enemies. However, many people were pierced by the spears inserted crosswise into the ground. Some people clearly saw the bright spear points in front of them and wanted to stop. , but were squeezed towards the tip of the spear by a large number of defeated soldiers behind them. The spears almost skewered several defeated soldiers, and some spears could not withstand the crazy impact and fell to the ground and broke.
A raging fire soon broke out in the eastern part of the military camp. The tents in the camp were densely packed, and the tents were flammable materials soaked in rain-proof butter. Under the blowing of the night wind, long tongues of flames spread towards other tents. Spreading, half of the military camp soon became a sea of fire, burning some tired soldiers who had just woken up from their dreams alive.
More than two thousand Sui soldiers were like fire. Wherever they killed, the fire burned. These soldiers rushed left and right, attacking the Turkic soldiers with spears, bayonets and knives.
The Turkic camp was divided into east and west parts. In the east were the Turkic soldiers led by Anastabien, and in the west were the servant soldiers led by Mengshe. Ashenada, who was at the forefront of the war, was awakened by the screams. He rushed out of the tent with a knife in hand, took the reins from the soldiers, and got on his horse. When he saw that there were not many invading enemies, he roared: "Steady my position, resist them, and kill them!"
The black shadow arrived in an instant, and the Yin Shishi master's war horse ran straight towards this side like lightning. The long spear in his hand stabbed the shouting Ashinada as fast as lightning. Ashinada did something before he could wait. In response, the sword stabbed into his neck easily.
As soon as Master Yinshi twisted the lever, Ashenada's human skull fell down. Blood spurted out from the neck cavity of the headless neck. After a while, he fell off the horse.
The general was killed, and the Turkic soldiers fled in fear. Under the fierce pursuit of the Sui army, they ran westward and threw Meng She's queue into chaos.
In order to prevent the defeated troops from harming himself, Meng She wisely issued an order to kill the defeated troops. The Turkic soldiers were enemies in front and behind, and they were killed so that corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed.
However, Meng She also responded in a hurry. The formation of the Bonesmen was not tight and neat, and was quickly dispersed by the surging Turkic troops. Naturally, the entire army was defeated.
After the Sui army defeated the defeated troops, they turned around and killed again. It was not until daybreak that they retreated to the west while fighting.
This fierce battle ended in less than an hour. The Turkic forwards suffered heavy casualties. After being photographed, Meng gathered and counted them and burst into tears. More than 20,000 of their 40,000-strong army died in this battle, and there were less than 15,000 living soldiers. After killing the seriously injured and disabled soldiers, only more than 12,000 were left.
In fact, the Sui army mainly engaged in destruction and arson, and the purpose was not to kill people. They killed not many Turkic soldiers in the charge of the camp. The Turkic soldiers mainly died in fighting and trampling on each other, and some of them were in their sleep. He was killed by the fire.
