Finally approached Huyan Mountain.

Huyan Mountain, the later Wulijisaihan Mountain, is actually the remnant of Langshan in the western section of Yinshan, extending westward to the Langshan Mountain. It is located about two hundred miles west of Fengzhou, about two hundred miles long from east to west, and about forty miles wide from north to south.

Huyan Mountain is not a continuous and complete mountain, but a mountain that appears intermittently on the sand dunes.

In the desert, especially on the Mongolian Plateau, as long as there are mountains, even if it is barren, it is still a place with rain and snow. The height of the plateau and the height of the mountain will definitely block, gather some airflows, and then form rain and snow. Later generations had more than 2,000 square kilometers of pastures, but now it is far more than that, at least tens of thousands of square kilometers.

Of course, it is an intermittent desert meadow.

But that's enough.

Along the way, Sun Xiurong spent his restlessness. Although he expected that the enemy might be ambushed on the way and where the enemies that may appear in various directions came from, nothing was absolutely absolute. If the enemy showed absolute power in a certain direction, the Sailing Ye Army would not be able to resist it.

However, when he approached Mount Huyan, he was sure that even if the enemy was ambushed, he would definitely be in the canyon in the Mount Huyan.

There is only one reason.

The enemy did not know how fast his marching was, so he could only ambush in advance. However, to ambush in the desert, this food and water were nothing more than satisfying. It was very likely that the enemy would starve and die of thirst before the enemy could come.

So they could only rely on places with water to ambush.

Where there is water source, there is hay. At present, both in the north and south of the desert are mainly Turkic horses (Mongolian horses) that can endure hunger and thirst. Even in winter, they can still peel off the snow layer and eat the dead grass below. Even in Huyan Mountain, there is no heavy rain or snow. Horses can easily eat hay.

Therefore, when he kept approaching this mountain, Sun Xiurong had already prepared in advance.

"If there is no ambush, you will naturally replenish your supplies. If there is an ambush, you must eat and drink enough!"

So he asked the team to stop ten miles from Huyan Mountain, drank half of the drinking water he carried, and enjoyed dry food and forage.

In this way, if there are really enemies ahead, they must win and have no choice. If they lose, not only will they not be able to go to the junta, but they will also die of thirst after entering the desert.

Then he reorganized the team.

Considering that the situation in the north was unknown, he asked Ma Lin's central camp to lead the entire Geng Sidu strong crossbow camp to the north, and there was a possibility of military power from the Later Turkic Khanate, as well as the Tielerzhuhu who was left in Fengzhou by the Tang Dynasty. In any case, it was estimated that its combat power was second only to the Hun tribe in Helan Mountain.

He was sure to defeat the Qibi tribe and the Sijie tribe, but he couldn't guarantee it to the north. In the end, the complex of famous generals played a role. Not only did Ma Lin have strong military command ability, but his personal martial arts skills were also very strong. Moreover, he was the leader of the Yu Hou army along the way, and he had extremely rich experience. It was safest for him to lead the thousand cavalry to deal with the north.

Next is the back, Nan Gongxun’s cavalry battalion is enough to deal with it.

As for the possible enemy Siji tribe in the south, Naren Xiaofeng was enough to deal with it.

There is a reason why Sun Xiurong was able to make such arrangements. The enemy suddenly gathered at Huyan Mountain. Although he was very busy, he had to consider how to retreat after failure. It was naturally the most convenient way to go back to each other. If the Hun tribe of Helan Mountain in the east ambushed in the west, once the result was defeated, how could they break through the Ye army's troops and return to Helan Mountain successfully?

As for the east, Sun Xiurong personally led Suha's heavy army camp and Bai Xiaode's light army camp. To this day, Sun Xiurong, as the commander-in-chief, naturally had his own personal soldiers, but only one hundred cavalry. Led by the former flag bearer Sun Xiaoke, Bai Xiaode's light army camp and baggage camp were all one person and two cavalry. Once a war happened, in fact, only four hundred troops could be dispatched, because at least a hundred cavalry needed to stay to see the horses to protect the horses.

But Sun Xiurong is still full of confidence. With him, Bai Xiaode, the two brave generals, can handle whatever situation happened before.

Furthermore, such an ambush that is not solemn enough is in a place that is not conducive to hiding the army (drought). Even if there are four enemies, it is impossible to have too many enemies. There are at least five hundred cavalry on each side of his Shattered Ye Army, which is enough!

"Grandmaster, if the enemy is ambushed, it can only be in the middle of the valley, where there are many north-south exits and the valley surface is very wide. If it is at both ends, it can only be ambushed on the mountain. The mountains are all bare, and it is completely impossible to ambush the cavalry."

This was Ma Lin’s judgment before, and Sun Xiurong also believed his judgment.

Relying on the valley ambush, that is the specialty of the infantry. Once the enemy enters the ambush circle, first use a bow and arrow, a rolling stone to kill, and then take advantage of the enemy's panic and then fight out, and you will be invincible.

If it is a cavalry, this would not work. First of all, Huyan Mountain is a bare earthy mountain, and there are not many stones or wood for them to make rolling stones. Moreover, it is the middle of winter. If you want to hide the cavalry, you must dig a deep trench on the mountain. It is impossible to think about it in such a place that is tens of degrees below zero.

Therefore, they could only hide behind the mountain with a gap in the middle of the valley, and after learning that the enemy entered the ambush circle, they implemented the ambush tactic of cutting off the head and tail in the middle.

Of course, if this ambush is carried out by a famous future, although it is a bit reluctant, it will break the routine, but the main general who is involved in the ambush can only be called a barely.

It is said that it is the chief general who besieged Sun Xiurong's army this time. His current position is the governor of Gaolanzhou, the Great Tang Dynasty and the General of the Central Guard.

His Gaolanzhou was Qingtongxia City in later generations, next to Lingzhou where the Shuofang Jiedufu was located, which is Wuzhong City in later generations. It was just a river separated by a river. The Tang Dynasty was able to give such a good oasis plain to the Hun tribe, which showed its trust in him.

The Hun tribe that Hun Shizhi is actually the own tribe of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the huge Helan Mountain and the vast grasslands in Shanxi are naturally dissatisfied with the Hunbu alone.

After the Tubo people invaded Qinghai, a large number of Dangxiang Qiang entered Hexi and Longyou. The largest Tuoba tribe moved to northern Shaanxi. Most of the remaining ones were in Longyou, but a small number still entered Helan Mountain nomadic.

The people entering Helan Mountain were all small tribes. In the end, these tribes gathered with a descendant of the Pochao clan, who was actually driven away by most of the Dokang tribes.

Pochao Wild Fox was the largest horse thief in Helan Mountain before. After gathering about 1,500 small tribes of Dangxiang Qiang, he naturally accepted the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and became a tribe that was dependent on Hun Shizhi.

It is naturally very good at being a horse thief under the noses of the Shuofang Jiedushi for a long time. During its heyday, it almost monopolized the business of Jilantai Yanchi west of Helan Mountain. It had all its troops under its command. Before accepting the recruitment, it was known as the "Halan Hundred Cavalry" and its strength should not be underestimated.

The hundreds of cavalry who were quite super wild foxes were all strong bows with a strength of more than one stone. The double scimitars for harvesting victory, and the familiarity with Helan Mountain, even Wang Zhongsi, the number one general of the Tang Dynasty, was helpless.

The Broken Ye Army soon entered the middle of the valley!

I was very lucky. Just as the whole army was uneasy, another gust of wind and sand came from the north!

Any wind that can roll up gravel is definitely not a small wind!

Sun Xiurong's eyes froze.

“Rumbling…”

Accompanied by the wind and sand, the sound of horse hooves rumbling from all directions. To this day, if you are in trouble, Sun Xiurong can roughly judge how many horse hooves there are based on the size of the horse hooves. However, because there are horse hooves in all directions, and the wind and sand whistling, and a little uneasy, he lost his judgment!

However, although the wind and sand caused the Sacred Ye Army to be disadvantageous, they could not take much advantage of the enemy. For them, although they were waiting for their labor, it was hard to say how much leisure was left for the latter in the cold Huyan Mountains, which were frozen for many days. But no matter what, they waited for their labor!

To the east, the one who rushed to the front of the Ye Army was not Suha, but Bai Xiaode, who led a hundred battalions!

Then there were the soldiers of Suha's 400 heavy barracks, followed by the light barracks with baggage led by Sun Xiurong, who were guarding Sun Xiaoke's 100 personal soldiers around him.

As mentioned earlier, in order to successfully arrive at the junction this time, Sun Xiurong asked everyone to carry a powerful crossbow of two stone power (single crossbow) and three stone power (horn crossbow). When Bai Xiaode saw the rolling smoke and dust, he immediately issued an order to cast a crossbow arrow!

"call out……"

Under the influence of the wind, the 500-strong crossbow rushed over the smoke and dust in the east!

This is the advantage of a strong crossbow. Because the horse is extremely fast, if you want to cast a bow and arrow after approaching the enemy, you have to rush out of the smoke and dust to see clearly. Secondly, when you are running quickly, it is difficult to complete the bow and arrow and shoot it coldly and accurately. If you can do that, you can be called a "good riding and shooting", and then you will have "famous generals' resources".

A large number of crossbow arrows falling from the sky immediately rushed to the front of Pochao Wild Fox, the hundred cavalry, suffered heavy losses. You should know that Pochao Wild Fox controlled the Jilantai Salt Pond and also had the financial resources to equip the armor, but no matter what, he could not bear the armor of one hundred war horses, and he would not have thought of equip the horses.

Most of the crossbows shot the war horses that were quite wild foxes!

In this way, the tight formation of Pochao Wild Fox, which was originally neatly arranged in a row of ten people, immediately became messy!

At this time, Bai Xiaode's one hundred cavalry also released their powerful crossbows and took out their long weapons!

Bai Xiaode still has a double iron spear configuration, while the other heavy camp cavalry were tiger spears. When both sides emerged from the smoke and dust and vaguely saw the general situation of the other party, the close-knit fight was about to break out!

In that band of crossbow arrows, at least forty of the hundreds of cavalry of Pochao Wild Fox lost their combat power. They were not shot directly by crossbow arrows, but were mostly thrown off the horse. Pochao Wild Fox traverses west of Helan Mountain for at least eight years. When did he suffer such shame? After seeing Bai Xiaode on the opposite side, he shouted, waved his sword and went up to meet him!

When Bai Xiaode saw it, he couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Two swords are naturally powerful, but that was used when you reap the victory after defeating the enemy. At that time, using two swords is better than using single swords and riding a gun, and it is more efficient to harvest lives. But now our army is unscathed. Wouldn't you die if you yell at rushing up?"

Just as I was thinking, the two swords of Pochao Wild Fox had already been handed to me!

"Ahhh!"
Chapter completed!
