Murong Bei left the Sui army's camp, bypassed the Turkic army's camp, and took a shortcut back to the Zangbing Valley in Jinshan. Before he could take a sip of water, his eldest son Murong Yan came up to him and saluted: "Father, King Wei of the Sui Dynasty Did you agree?"
"accepted!"
Murong Bei walked hurriedly towards the brightly lit tent. When he passed by a mountain spring, he picked up the water ladle on the fork of the tree, took most of the ladle of clear spring water, drank it all in one breath, and hung it up again. Shui Lao then strode forward and walked into the big tent.
"See the clan leader!" Seeing Murongbei's arrival, more than a dozen old people and young men in the tent quickly stood up and saluted. These people were all important figures in the Xianbei tribe. They all knew the clan leader's plan and went to see the Sui army commander, so they had been waiting for him. Waiting for news here.
All of them speak fluent Chinese and practice Chinese etiquette. They seem to be very reckless, but they are all polite and courteous in their actions, like well-educated Confucian scholars. It can be seen that although Hou Yan has been destroyed for nearly two hundred years, this Murong army Xianbei has never forgotten Sinology and has passed it down from generation to generation to this day.
"Without ceremony." Murong Bei strode towards the main seat. After taking his seat, he said: "The King Wei of the Sui Dynasty has promised to cooperate with us and made an appointment to attack the Turkic camp at the turn of Yin and Mao tonight."
This statement caused an uproar.
They knew that the Sui army had arrived not long ago and they didn't even have time to rest. It would be too childish to launch an attack at night, right?
"Quiet!" A white-haired old man sitting at Murong Bei's head shouted. When the tent became quiet again, he saluted Murong Bei and said, "Chief, isn't this too hasty?"
"This seems very hasty and childish." Murong Bei said, "But everyone, do you think Ashina Huaide prevented the Sui army from hijacking the camp tonight?"
Everyone was speechless and unable to refute.
The Sui army was not only a tired division that fought continuously and traveled long distances, but also had more than half of its troops less than the Turks. Who would have expected that the Sui army would dare to use its tired divisions to take the initiative to attack the Turks who were waiting for work and had a large number of troops?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Murong Bei said with a confident smile: "Ashina Huaide neither expected that the Sui army would rob the camp tonight, nor that we would help the Sui army, nor that we have more than 30,000 capable soldiers." We are warriors, so we will definitely win this battle."
Murong Yan cupped his hands and said: "Father, I didn't expect the Sui army to attack the Turks so quickly. In this way, the price we need to pay to annihilate Ashina Huaide will be much lighter."
"Young tribesmen are right to speak less!" The old man who just spoke said worriedly: "But having said that, I am a little worried about the Sui Dynasty occupying the Great Lakes area."
"First Elder, you can rest assured that the Sui Dynasty will not be able to occupy the Great Lakes area." Murong Bei said with a smile: "I am not saying that the Sui Dynasty does not want to occupy it, but that it is powerless; just because the existing territory is the limit that the Sui Dynasty can bear. If they expand their territory unnecessarily, the vast territory will only become a heavy burden for them. Why did Rouran die? Why did the Turkic Khanate decline so quickly? I think one of the reasons is that the territory is too vast. Whenever the Great Khan cannot control it, When the soldiers and civilians were thousands of miles away, the ambitious chiefs of various tribes quietly accumulated strength and were ready to take action, and then attacked each other."
A gleam of wisdom flashed in Murong Bei's eyes, and he continued: "If the Sui Dynasty occupied the Great Lakes area, it meant that they would need more troops to station themselves and consume more money and food. They might not be able to see much in a short time, but in the long run, the vast lake area would The lake area will surely turn into a giant brave, ferociously devouring the wealth of the Sui Dynasty every day. This kind of thing that outweighs the gains and losses is really not something a wise person would do."
The elder's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "If this happens, the Great Lakes area will be ours."
"It's too early to say anything." Murong Bei saw that everyone was in high spirits, and everyone's passion was ignited. He suddenly felt calm and said with a smile: "The top priority is that we should join forces with the Sui army to defeat Ashina Huide's army. ”
"That's exactly what it means."
"Without further delay, please give the clan leader the order." Everyone asked for orders.
Murong Yan also stood up and saluted solemnly: "Father, I am willing to lead the warriors of my clan to cooperate with the Sui army in fighting and serve our clan."
Murong Bei smiled happily, Ashina's Huade could only reach 40,000, and he and the Sui army combined had a total strength of 50,000. Plus there was no intention of calculation, so there was really no reason to fail.
"What's the fuss about?" Just when Murong Bei was about to give the order, a Turkic accent suddenly came from outside the door.
"..." The people in the big tent were stunned, as if they had been struck by lightning, and the whole big tent suddenly became silent.
The tent door opened, and a drunken Turkic man walked in. This man was the Turkic Tutun stationed in Xianbei. Since Murongbei took in the victims and recruited soldiers in his name, this man was also I know this Valley of Hidden Soldiers.
Although this Tutun didn't take much care of things and spent all day long in the gentle countryside, he was not a fool. Not only did he come to inspect from time to time, but he also tried every means to place his cronies in the army.
"You warriors." When Murong Bei saw this man staggering towards him with a few soldiers, a fierce murderous intention suddenly flashed in his eyes. He quickly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Kill them."
Murong Yan and other young men stood up and walked towards the tent door one after another, giving the impression that they were welcoming the Tutun man.
When they got closer, several people saw the target accurately, and each of them covered one's mouth in unison, quickly drew out the dagger, and swiped it on Turk's neck, causing blood to splash everywhere in an instant.
This group of unlucky Turks were caught off guard. Their throats were cut without even making a scream. Their hands struggled aimlessly for a long time, and finally hung down limply.
Upon seeing this, Murong Bei breathed a long sigh of relief and ordered in a solemn tone: "Murong Yan, find the command arrow, gather the Turks together, and kill them without mercy."
"Yes!" After Murong Yan found a small golden arrow on Tutun's corpse, she took off her bloody clothes, wiped her hands, and ran out quickly.
"Warriors, prepare to fight." Murong Bei strode towards the tent: "Whether our clan can rise depends on tonight. You must fight to the end. Anyone who dares to miss the opportunity will be killed without mercy."
"Yes!" Everyone responded with a roar.
. . . . . . .
Wusanghetlin Mountain is located in the middle of the basin, with vast grasslands on both sides. Ashina Wilder had to force the Sui army to go north from a certain side. Due to the terrain restrictions, he had to divide the army into two, and built two large camps on the left and right sides of the mountain pass. , the two are four miles apart, so not only can both sides be taken care of, but the two are mutually powerful. No matter which camp is attacked, the other camp can be rescued in time. Ashina Huaid led the Turkic soldiers to sit in the east camp, while the west camp was composed of people hired by Bujia Khan to expand Jie, and was led by a Hu named Shikel.
When the time came, Hickler, the commander of the Western Camp, was gathering in a big tent with his generals to drink heartily.
Ashina Huaid managed the army very strictly, although Hickler and other Tuojie did not directly belong to the Turks. However, they are usually forced to save face, and they will not offend the face of the 'gold master'; but after all, they are Tuojie people who live for war and fight for wealth, and their discipline is far less strict than that of the upright army, and these bullies are Fierce warriors have long disregarded life and death. They will enjoy themselves to the fullest before a war.
When Schickler heard that the Sui army had been running around for several days, and even half of the army had just arrived today, he followed their custom and gathered the generals at all levels to drink and play with women; in his opinion, the Sui army was preparing for the upcoming show For the great battle, we will definitely be huddled in the military camp tonight to recharge our batteries, and there is no way they can come and rob the camp; besides, the East Camp is tilted to the south and is closer to the Sui army than the West Camp. Even if the Sui army really comes at night, they should rob it. Dongying is closer, not Xiying.
"General Shikler, the Sui people like to play true and false conspiracies very much. Khan hopes that you can strengthen your vigilance tonight to avoid being taken advantage of by the Sui army." Tujue Fuli, who was ordered to come to remind him, saw the drunken and hazy Xi Keli. Koehler and others felt powerless in their hearts, knowing that these drunkards might not be able to carry out Khan's orders.
"I know, I know!" Schickler waved his hand impatiently and said: "I know it in my heart. You can rest assured that Wilder Khan will never miss anything important."
"Okay, then I'll resign." The Turkic monk sighed helplessly. He was just a messenger and had no qualifications to care about these murderous barbarians, so he had to bow out.
"General, the people of the Ashina family are really becoming more and more useless. Each one is more cowardly than the last." A captain looked at the Turks leaving and couldn't help but sneer.
"Ashina Wilder is cautious by nature, and he is a relatively capable person. His worries may not be unreasonable. Let the brothers pay attention to it later." Schickler fiercely grabbed the towering breasts of a Tiele woman. , giving orders to his subordinates nonchalantly.
"Okay!" The generals who were also holding women responded habitually, but it was unclear whether any of them heard Hickler's order clearly.
…
Time flies, and the wolf-proof bonfire in Xiying slowly weakens, and the flames get lower and lower, and finally disappear. At the turn of Yin and Mao, the entire military camp was quiet under the bright moonlight, and even the soldiers guarding the gate were taking a nap.
"How could these Tujie be so careless?" What they saw in front of them made the soldiers of the Sui army marching north along the foothills of Jinshan Mountain dumbfounded.
"Your Highness, you can't even guess this, right?" Xue Ju couldn't help but ask Yang Ji next to him, and looked up at him with a mountain-like gaze.
Everyone else had the same expression.
When sharing the mission with Murong Bei, Yang Ji took the initiative to take over the important task of attacking the Western Camp, which puzzled the generals. In their view, the Tuojie army was far more powerful than the Turkic soldiers, and this army should be handed over to them. It was only right for Murong Bei to challenge him, but Yang Ji did not attack the weak Turkic soldiers, but picked a hard nut to gnaw on, which was really weird. Now it seems that Yang Ji has expected everything in front of him.
"The quality of Tuojie's individual soldiers is indeed better than that of the Turkic soldiers, but this is a group of thugs who make a living by killing people. How can you expect them to have military discipline? What's more, they are hiding behind Dongying. They must not have expected that we would abandon the near and seek the far away." Yang Ji sneered, "Although Murong Bei is smart, after all, Sun Tzu, who has been pretending for decades, has limited knowledge of military affairs and does not know much about various armies. I'm afraid I'm just having fun now, but I'll see you later. It’s a good show.”
"That's it." The generals also laughed.
"Move away from the horse." Yang Ji put on the helmet handed over by his own soldiers, and pointed forward with the armor-piercing black gold spear in his hand.
A group of cavalry immediately flew forward, easily killing the guards, and then dragged away the horses blocking the camp gate. After a while, the camp gate slowly opened under the moonlight.
"Commanders, follow me to kill!" Xue Ju, as the vanguard, raised his horse and rushed into the camp first. Wherever the Sui army passed, everything was unobstructed. If they hadn't seen people walking back and forth in the camp before, everyone would have thought that This is an empty camp.
As groups of heavily armed Sui cavalry charged in, the sleeping Hu Tuojie didn't understand what happened until his death, so he was hacked to death and trampled to death in a confused manner.
The soldiers who followed lit the tents one after another, using this as a trigger to ignite the torches in their hands, and then lit more tents. The eastern part of Turkic West Camp seemed to turn into a sea of fire in an instant.
Amidst the deafening sound of trumpets, the Sui army officers and soldiers advanced eastward together, killing Tuojie who woke up from his sleep. The heads were rolling, the dead bodies were piled up, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Yang Ji swung his sword to kill among the enemies. Wherever the sword passed, there were piles of corpses and wailing all over the ground.
When Schickler was awakened from his sleep by the shouts of killing, the huge military camp was already out of control. When he rushed to the big tent, he seemed to have missed the step and fell into the abyss. The camp that appeared in front of him was blazing with flames, and countless Tuojie were scurrying around like headless flies.
Some smart people ran towards the stables, preparing to find horses to escape, but these people were only a few after all. More people were beaten to pieces by the rout before they started fighting with the enemy. Under the night, I don’t know how many soldiers there were. Trampling each other to death.
"Quickly, blow the horn and order the army to fight." Schickler was completely drunk and sober. He grabbed one of his guards and shouted.
"General, everything is in chaos. The enemy troops are advancing too fast. Our soldiers simply..." Before the soldier could finish his words, a powerful crossbow arrow shot through the air from his back and passed through his chest. The arrow also pierced Schickler's flesh.
Schickler was so frightened that he did not expect that an enemy army would actually come to rob the camp. He regretted not listening to Ashina Huide's words, but there was no time for him to regret it at this moment. Faced with such a complete defeat, he continued to The courage to fight was gone, so he recruited a few personal soldiers, and while fleeing eastward with the defeated troops, he shouted loudly: "Quick, kill everyone who blocks the way."
"Yes!" More and more soldiers swung their swords unceremoniously at the robe blocking the road, guarding Shikler's breakout to the east.
"Don't worry about those deserters, kill all the enemy troops in the camp first." Although the Sui army successfully robbed the camp, these scurrying defeated troops also blocked the Sui army's pursuit. Yang Ji was worried that the Sui army would appear in a big way in the chaos. Casualties, besides, the ultimate goal is to lure Ashina Wilder out. If the Sui army kills too quickly, he might stay entrenched, which would miss the important event.
"Here."
The soldiers took out the horns in their backpacks and sounded the order to kill the defeated troops in the camp with a "wuwuwuwu" sound.
