(Many thanks to 'Shepherd Flute Wolf Smoke' and 'Sea Tiger 888' for their generous support and monthly pass support.) οΌ
Xue Qiluo, the eldest son of the Great Chief of the Xue Yantuo Tribe, looked at the Shifeng Village standing in front of him quietly, his face did not have any murderous and violent look that a raider should have, on the contrary, his expression was extremely calm, he knew very well that his father's goal, looting property and grain to survive the long winter was only one aspect.
The logic of the Turks is very simple, Qiming Khan's five thousand silver wolf kings were all killed by the Sui people, and if his father Yi Tie Bowl can capture the Sui walled city, it will prove to a certain extent that Yi Tie Bowl is more wise and martial than Qiming Khan, although it will not surpass Qiming Khan in prestige all at once, but it can also close the gap between the two to a large extent.
Therefore, on the surface, it seems that Xue Qiluo's task is to watch the three thousand Sui troops in the stone village, but in fact he is just a bait, of course, how to use this bait to make the other party fooled, the process is naturally not so simple.
"Shifeng Village is strong and majestic, how can our three thousand cavalry defeat it?" Carter Bear, the commander next to Xue Qiluo, looked regretful. Carter Bear is a rare brave general under the Yi lost bowl, following the Yi lost bowl in the grassland to fight in the south and the north, ten years ago also participated in the battle with the Great Sui, the Sui army has rich combat experience, a glance at the Shifeng Village, you know that you do not have 30,000 troops, it is difficult to capture this military village. It was captured several times, but I was afraid that it would also be a heavy casualty, and this wise man did not do it, he was afraid that Xue Qiluo would make meritorious contributions, so he couldn't help but remind him euphemistically.
In order to prevent the plan from being leaked, even a general like Carter Bear didn't know about it, Xue Qiluo smiled: "Brave Carter Bear, don't worry, how can I do such a self-defeating act?" β
Carter Bear was relieved when he heard this, Xue Qiluo was worthy of being the eldest son of the big chief, although he had never been in a hundred battles, but he saw the situation very clearly, and he was very careful, and he hugged his fist slightly apologetically: "Little Chief is wise." β
Xue Qiluo said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Carter Bear is brave, it is better to step forward to kill the Sui people's sharp spirit, and grow the ambition of our army, how about it?" β
Carter Bear laughed and said, "Little Chief is optimistic. β
As soon as the words fell, he held the banner in his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse neighed, and came out of the formation, and went straight to Shifeng Village in the shouts of Xue Yantuo's three thousand cavalry.
"What are the Turks going to do?" Niu Jinda looked at one of the other party's generals holding a banner with a strange look and roaring, "Does he want to challenge the fighting general?" β
Niu Jinda's eyes were full of fighting intent and he was eager to try.
However, the three lieutenants next to him had already clenched their fists slowly, their faces showing anger, and they naturally knew what the other party was going to do after being at the border for a long time. Tian Ming said: "Lord Duwei, this is not a challenge to the fighting generals, this is a deliberate provocation by the Turks against us. β
Niu Jinda immediately understood the other party's intentions, and shouted: "Take my bow!" β
The soldiers behind him hurriedly handed Niu Jinda's five-stone strong bow, Niu Jinda took a deep breath, the bow opened the full moon, an arrow was put on the bowstring, and the other two buckled between the tail finger and thumb, the tip of the arrow was raised, and it slowly aimed downward.
As Carter Bear got closer and closer to Shifeng Village, the noisy soldiers on both sides fell silent, and thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the Xue Yantuo banner that was rushing and waving in the wind.
Carter Bear wants to plant this banner within the reach of arrows on the city, and the closer it is to the city, the greater the glory, and of course, the danger multiplies.
As the distance approached, the muscles of Carter's whole body tensed, and all his attention was focused on the bow and arrow that might attack, and at this time, he held the flagpole with both hands, and controlled the horse completely on his legs.
Buzz, the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, no need to look, just based on experience, Carter Bear knew that the arrow was coming at the door in front of him, and when he heard the sound of the arrow tearing through the air, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, such a fast arrow. The banner waved, snapped, and the attacking arrows flew away, and at the same time, his arms were numb, and the opponent's arrow was so powerful, I am afraid that it was not a five-stone strong bow.
The mind just turned, and there was a whistling sound in the air, it was actually a beaded arrow, Carter Bear couldn't help but raise his vigilance, he could shoot a beaded arrow with a five-stone strong bow, the other party was a Hercules archer, he didn't dare to rush forward again, his legs were clamped between the horse's belly, and the war horse that accompanied him day and night had the same mind, and he slowed down and turned sharply, and then accelerated to the right, just a simple action In an instant, Carter Bear was already a turnover, half of his body hung on the side of the horse, and poked the big flag in his hand into the ground.
Then he suddenly turned over and got on his horse, and the scimitar in his waist was unsheathed, and when he blew twice, Ge flew the arrow, and galloped back, and at the moment of running back, he even turned around and let out a mockery, and then in the thunderous cheers of Xue Yantuo's soldiers and the cursing on the city tower, he rode triumphantly and returned to his own position.
Xue Yantuo's three thousand cavalry roared like thunder, just now Carter Bear's simple action seems easy, but looking at the whole world, what kind of equestrian skill and strength is required to make such a move that ignores inertia on a high-speed warhorse? What's more, the three arrows shot down from the city tower just now are as fast as lightning, and they go straight to the point, just listening to the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, you can know how powerful it is, Xue Yantuo is all good at archery, how can he not know how powerful?
On the city tower, Niu Jinda screamed, his face was black, he threw down the longbow in his hand, and walked down the city tower without looking back.
"Captain Carter Bear, there is really the courage of ten thousand people." Xue Qiluo smiled and immediately stretched out his hand to hold the Carter bear, planting a flag to provoke, he had already heard that the other party's guards had just taken office, and the soldiers under his command must not have reached the point of control, if the other party's guards did not want the defenders under his command to lose their military morale, they would definitely take action, and what he wanted was such an effect.
Carter Bear smiled lightly and said, "This is a small skill, don't dare to speak bravely." β
"Okay, the other party still refuses to go out of the city to fight after this humiliation, it seems that he has made up his mind to pay attention to the dead army." Du Jitai, you lead a thousand soldiers to plunder the surrounding villages, Carter Bear, you lead a thousand soldiers to respond at any time, and I lead a thousand men and horses to monitor Shifeng Village here. Xue Qiluo gave a meaningful order.
If you don't go out of the city, I'll go and grab things, if you go out of the city to fight with me, it's really right in the middle, Xue Qiluo smiled confidently, I heard that Luo Gesen's idiot led five thousand silver wolf king horsemen without even seeing the other side, so he was gambled and burned to death in the valley, the Sui people are good at conspiracy, and he Xue Qiluo is also good at strategy, and since he designed to kill his uncle when he was thirteen years ago ago, every plan has never failed.

Xue Yantuo's department did his best to come up with 100,000 cavalry, and this time Yi lost the bowl and dispatched 50,000 cavalry to the south. 50,000 horses, with the mobility of Turkic cavalry, almost encompassed the entire border pass of Zhangye County. Therefore, almost on the same day, Zhangye Cheng received distress letters from two counties near the north, among which the situation in Xifeng County was the most critical.
