Turbulent Times Chapter 281: The conspiracy of Yi Shibo
(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of 'Mudi Wolf Smoke' and 'Haihu 888'.)
Xue Qiluo, the eldest son of Yi Shibo, the great chief of the Xue Yantuo tribe, looked at the Shifengzhai standing in front of him quietly. There was no murderous and violent look on his face that a looter should have. On the contrary, his expression was extremely calm. He was very clear about his father's goal, and looting property and food to survive the long winter was only one aspect.
The logic of the Turkic people is very simple. Qiming Khan’s five thousand silver wolf king riders were all killed by the Sui people. Qiming Khan is wise and powerful, although his prestige will not surpass Qiming Khan all at once, but it can also narrow the gap between the two to a large extent.
So, on the surface, it seems that Xue Qiluo's task is to guard the three thousand Sui soldiers in the stone village, but in fact he is just a bait. Of course, how to use this bait to make the other party fall for it. So simple.
"Shifengzhai is strong and majestic, how can our three thousand cavalry take it down?" The commander Carter Xiong next to Xue Qiluo looked regretful. Carter Xiong is a rare brave general under Yi Shibo. He followed Yi Shibo on the grassland and fought north and south. He also participated in the battle with the Sui Dynasty ten years ago. He has rich experience in fighting the Sui army. He glanced at Shi Feng Once the stronghold is built, we know that our side does not have an army of 30,000, and it is difficult to capture the stronghold. If they were attacked several times, the casualties would be heavy, this wise man would not do anything, he was afraid that Xue Qiluo was eager to make contributions, so he couldn't help reminding him tactfully.
In order not to let the plan leak out, even a general like Carter Xiong didn't know about Yi Shibo's thoughts, Xue Qiluo smiled and said: "Brave Carter Bear, don't worry, how can I do such a self-defeating move?" Will you do it?"
When Carter Xiong heard it, he was relieved. Xue Qiluo is indeed the eldest son of the great chief. Although he has not experienced many battles, he has seen the situation very clearly. The little chief is wise."
Xue Qiluo said with a smile: "I have heard that Carter's bear is brave, how about going forward to kill the Sui people, and improving our army's ambition?"
Carter Xiong laughed and said: "The little chief is optimistic."
As soon as the words fell, he held the banner in his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and the horse neighed, leaped out of the formation, and went straight to Shifengzhai amidst the shouts of Xue Yantuo's three thousand cavalry.
"What is this Turkic man going to do?" Niu Jinda looked at a general on the other side with a big flag in his hand, and roared, "Is he going to challenge the general?"
Niu Jinda's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he was eager to try.
But the three lieutenants next to him had slowly clenched their fists, their faces showing anger. They had been at the border for a long time and naturally knew what the other party was going to do. Tian Ming said: "My lord, this is not a challenge to the generals, but a deliberate provocation by the Turks."
Niu Jinda immediately understood the other party's intention, and shouted: "Get my bow!"
The soldiers behind him hurriedly handed over Niu Jinda's five-stone strong bow. Niu Jinda took a deep breath, opened the bow to the full moon, one arrow hit the bowstring, the other two were held between the tail finger and the thumb, and the tip of the arrow was raised. Slowly aim down.
As Carter Bear got closer and closer to Shifengzhai, the clamoring soldiers on both sides quieted down, and thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the galloping Xue Yantuo banner waving in the wind.
Carter Bear wants to plant this banner within the reach of arrows on the city. The closer it is to the city, the greater the glory. Of course, the danger will also multiply.
As the distance approached, all the muscles of Carter's body tensed, and all his attention was focused on the bow and arrow that might strike. At this moment, he was holding on to the flagpole with both hands, and controlled the horse completely with his legs.
There is a buzzing sound, the sound of an arrow piercing through the air, you don't need to look at it, just by experience, Carter knows that this arrow is coming towards his face, and hearing the sound of the arrow tearing through the air, he feels in his heart Can't help but shudder, what a fast arrow. With a wave of the banner, there was a bang, and the incoming arrows flew away. At the same time, both arms went numb. The opponent's arrow was so powerful that it might not be a five-stone strong bow.
As soon as the mind turned, there was a whistling sound in the air again. It was actually a continuous arrow. Carter couldn't help but raise his vigilance. He was able to shoot a continuous arrow with a five-stone strong bow. Charge, with both legs clamping the horse's belly, the war horse that accompanied him day and night connected with each other, suddenly slowed down and turned, and then accelerated to the right. It was just a simple movement. The flag poked heavily into the ground.
Then he suddenly got on his horse, and the scimitar in his waist was unsheathed. With two bangs, the arrow flew away, and he galloped back. At the moment of galloping back, he even turned around and let out a laughing sound. , and then amidst the thunderous cheers of Xue Yantuo's soldiers and the curses on the tower, he triumphantly rode back to the main formation.
Xue Yantuo's three thousand cavalry cheered like thunder. Carter's simple move just now seems easy, but looking at the whole world, it takes such horsemanship and strength to make such a move that ignores inertia on a high-speed horse. ? What's more, the three arrows shot down from the tower just now were as fast as lightning, and each branch went straight to the vital point. Just by hearing the sound of the arrow piercing through the air, one could know how powerful it is.
On the tower, Niu Jinda yelled angrily, with black air on his face, he threw down the longbow in his hand, and walked down the tower without looking back.
"Commander Carter Xiong, you really have unstoppable courage." Xue Qiluo smiled and immediately stretched out his arms to hold Carter Bear, and planted a flag to provoke him. To the point of being in control, if the opposing defender does not want the defenders under his command to lose their morale, he will definitely take action, and this is what he wants.
Carter Xiong smiled easily and said: "This is a small skill, I dare not speak bravely."
"Okay, the opponent still refuses to go out of the city to fight despite this humiliation. It seems that he is determined 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 will respond at any time, and I will lead a thousand troops to monitor Shifengzhai here. " Xue Qiluo gave the order meaningfully.
If you don't leave the city, I'll grab things. If you go out to fight with me, it's really in the right place. Xue Qiluo smiled confidently. He heard that the idiot Luo Gesen led the five thousand silver wolf king's cavalry to the other side. They didn't even see it, so they were bet that they were all burned to death in the valley. The Sui people were good at intrigues and tricks, and he, Xue Qiluo, was also good at tricks, and he planned to kill his uncle ten years ago when he was thirteen years old. Since then, every strategy has never failed.
…
…
Xue Yantuo's troops did their best and were able to produce 100,000 cavalry. This time, Yi Shibo dispatched 50,000 cavalry to go south. Fifty thousand horses, with the mobility of the Turkic cavalry, almost covered the entire border of Zhangye County. So almost on the same day, Zhangye City received distress letters from two counties to the north, among which the situation in Xifeng County was the most critical.
