Ten thousand Tuyuhun elite soldiers left the camp under the noise of Niluoyan, one man and two horses. Like an endless pack of wolves, they rushed towards the direction of the Sui army soldiers. The momentum of the galloping horses of 20,000 horses was enough to destroy everything. The rumbling sound of horse hooves was like muffled thunder in the dark clouds. Not only did the white ground tremble, but the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be shattered, and goose feather-like snowflakes began to float.
In order to annihilate the Sui army sneaking into the country in one fell swoop, Niloyan dispatched 10,000 elite troops. However, he did not know that the Sui army that penetrated deep into the hinterland of Tuyuhun was not only not alone, but also had a strong reinforcement force to support it. This support army was They are the strange soldiers led by Mai Tiezhang.
As early as the fourth year of Renshou, Mai Tiezhang was ordered to enter the country to carry out sabotage. As for their true identity, even Murong Fuyun could not confirm that they were soldiers of the Sui army. He even thought that this army was the same as the Korean Wave that harmed the place in Shanshan. It was just material help from the Sui army.
Not only did the senior officials of Tuyuhun think so, but they also knew that the military and civilians generally feared the powerful Sui Dynasty, which would cause panic among the local military and civilians, so they simply defined this army as horse thieves with a certain temperament.
Although the high-level officials had good intentions, when the war between the two countries broke out, the eyes and minds of Niloyan and other local generals were attracted by the Sui army and the war between the two countries, and they did not associate Mai Tiezhang with the Sui Dynasty and the Sui army. . What he didn't expect was that Mai Tiezhang had already sneaked to the Annanba Mountain behind the camp.
On the mountain, Mai Tiezhang and his more than 6,000 soldiers took the time to rest. As early as the morning before yesterday, Zong Luohu's scouts sent them an urgent message. Zong Luohu asked them to eat the partial division led by Ni Luoyan and fight together. Sect Luohu planned to lure away Niluoyan and let them conquer the camp. Mai Tiezhang agreed to this battle plan without hesitation.
When he entered the country, the army only had 3,000 soldiers. After nearly four years of brutal survival of the fittest, the original number of soldiers was less than 2,000. Now, more than 4,000 of these soldiers are horse thieves and noble slaves he collected in Tuyuhun. Except for the soldiers who followed Mai Tiezhang into the country, most of the soldiers did not know that they were Sui Dynasty soldiers.
Those horse thieves who joined later lived a life of no fixed abode and fought countless bloody battles. Everyone knew that horse thieves were a "youth meal" business. Once they got older and their physical condition declined, they would be eliminated by brutal battles. Lost, so they know that horse thieves are not a long-term solution, and they are more eager to have a stable home than ordinary people.
Mai Tiezhang, Han Liu, Xue Wanjun, etc. will attach great importance to ideological cultivation. They usually let the accompanying soldiers instill the concept of the Sui Dynasty's invincibility and incomparable wealth into the gangsters who joined later during "chat", so that these people I have a general understanding of the Sui Dynasty and yearn for that "paradise"-like life. So when Mai Tiezhang announced his identity yesterday, these battle-hardened gangsters were not surprised but overjoyed.
Hearing that as long as they performed meritorious service, they could end the days of horse thieves, live a stable life, and even become soldiers and generals of the Sui Dynasty. The "horse thieves" suddenly became more motivated, and all those who could fight followed them.
"General Mai, the morale of the soldiers is very high, and they can't wait." Mai Tiezhang was standing on a high place with a few soldiers to watch the enemy's situation. Xue Wanjun and Han Liu hurried over.
Mai Tiezhang wiped the snowflakes from his face, looked away from the retreating enemy troops, and looked at the two generals silently.
After several years of running between killing and running, not only him, but also Han Liu and Xue Wanjun no longer have the same style as before. At first glance, he couldn't even tell that Xue Wan, the craftsman, was a young man in his early twenties.
Xue Wanjun's handsome face in the past was now covered by his beard and wild hair. I believe that even when Xue Shixiong arrived, he would not recognize that this was his son.
"The elite soldiers of Tuyuhun have gone far away, so when will we attack?" Xue Wanjun's youthful aura had long receded. Seeing that the general was silent, he couldn't wait to ask.
Han Liu next to them also showed an eager look. It has been too difficult for them in recent years. They were surrounded and suppressed by the Tuyuhun army one after another. They spent almost every day in a desperate situation. When they received the call from Yang Jilian and Zong Luohu to fight, At the time of the emergency, it was as if light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
"No hurry!" Mai Tiezhang shook his head and said, "Let's wait and hear the news from the scouts."
"General!" Far away
, a soldier ran over with a few scouts, and said softly: "The enemy did not notice our arrival. When Niloyan led his army to leave, the defenders in the camp became very slack. Although there were defensive soldiers and patrol soldiers, , but these soldiers are very unorganized and more of a formality."
Mai Tiezhang nodded and said: "Let the soldiers of the army seize the time to rest. After half an hour, we will launch an attack according to the plan!"
"Here!" The soldiers clasped their fists in salute and left one after another.
Mai Tiezhang took a deep breath and said to Xue Wanjun and Han Liu, "Let's all get ready. After this battle, we can go home."
Xue Wanjun was at a loss for a moment, then an expression of surprise appeared on his face, but tears fell from his eyes unconsciously.
After coming out for so many years, they spent every day between killing and fleeing, and their minds were tense every moment. Although the Tyuhun soldiers were manipulated by them, they were always on the verge of collapse. He was almost Forget about the existence of home. At this moment, I suddenly heard the word "go home". After the initial surprise, I felt an inexplicable sadness.
"Good boy, don't cry! Your father is proud of you, and the king will be proud of you." Mai Tiezhang hugged Xue Wanjun's shoulders heavily, and turned his eyes to the sky full of snowflakes, trying not to shed tears.
When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but shed tears along with Xue Wanjun. Although they are outstanding soldiers, soldiers are also human beings. They also have their own parents, brothers and sisters, wives and children. Like ordinary people, they have the most sincere emotions of mankind and miss their relatives very much.
Half an hour, that is, an hour.
Time quickly passed in the tense and exciting preparation process of the soldiers. When the time passed, Mai Tiezhang immediately issued the order to attack.
. . . .
Tuyuhun’s camp is located in a narrow strip of land sandwiched between Annanba Mountain and Sugannuoer Lake. The reason why Niluoyan chose to set up camp here is to use the huge tent to avoid heavy snowstorms, so as to prevent people and animals from freezing to death and tents from being damaged by strong winds. Sweep away; secondly, the terrain in this area is open, which is not conducive to defense. But he did not expect that there was a Sui army in the territory, and this Sui army even sneaked into the mountains.
Mai Tiezhang ran to the mountain to ambush. He happened to be interested in this relatively special terrain. His so-called attack was not to let the soldiers go down the gentle mountain, but to put down the prepared rolling logs and rocks.
Rolling logs and rocks fell from the mountain at an increasing speed, then slid across the hard and smooth ice, and then crashed into the Tuyuhun South Camp with thunderous momentum. Soldiers living in the south of the camp were hit by rolling logs and rocks falling from the sky. Bones are broken, tendons are broken, and mourning is everywhere.
Some terrifying rolling logs and rocks did not stop when they encountered obstacles. Instead, they bounced up under the force, which also made them fly further and hit them with greater force. Some unlucky ones The soldiers and livestock were directly turned into minced meat and meat pies.
In an instant, people were scared out of their wits and running around like wolves and rats.
The whole camp was in chaos, and the sound of crying resounded through the sky.
