The four hundred and fifty-ninth chapter temptation
The banks of the Qinshui River in Wuhou are not the vast grassland.
On the east side is a vast forest sea. Three miles away from the right wing, a mountain ridge bulged, blocking the view.
After Qin Qiong's 1,000 soldiers crossed the river, he ordered five hundred straits to seize the ridge and obtain the commanding heights.
After the five hundred strife were ordered, they searched forward together. Because they were worried about the Turkic ambush that would appear at any time behind the mountain ridge, the five hundred strifes were all wearing armor and gathering formations and slowly moving.
In a short while, five hundred squadrons crossed the ridge, and then a ray of wolf smoke rose from behind the ridge to show that there was no enemy situation ten miles north of the ridge.
Seeing this, the soldiers at the foot of the mountain were relieved, and the soldiers on the mountain began to station on the top of the mountain and were alerted to the north.
Seeing that there was no enemy army behind the mountain ridge, Qin Qiong was not worried. He ordered a search in the direction of the dense forest.
The Turkic Wolf Cavalry dominated the grassland for a hundred years, and its spirits were elusive and floating. How could Qin Qiong be careless? He led 300 cavalry to search in the direction of the dense forest.
Three hundred cavalry slowly approached the dense forest. At this moment, dawn had passed, and the sun crossed the mist like smoke and clouds, rising slowly.
The cavalry passed by, and a group of reddish-brown sand chickens flew up from under the sand willow trees on the side, and the birds flew away in shock. The cavalry looked from afar and the mountains in the distant forest bordering the blue sky and white clouds.
After only about a mile away from the dense forest, Qin Qiong suddenly stopped his horse and ordered the entire army to stop advancing.
Deputy General Yingya Lang Ce immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why did General Qin stop?"
Qin Qiong pointed at the forest with a horse whip and said, "I saw the birds nearby who saw my cavalry passing by, and they all stood up in shock, but they did not fall down to live in the forest. Isn't this very strange?"
The Eagle-Take General was stunned when he saw that there was silence in the forest and he didn't even hear the sound of birds. This was really abnormal.
"What the general said is very much, there may be ambushes in the Lin."
Qin Qiong immediately ordered the entire army to dismount. Then he said to the Eagle Raising Man: "Investigate Linnei."
"Yes, General."
After saying that, the Eagle Feeder said the right way, the eagle shouted on the leather hood on his arm, and then blew the eagle down its wings, then shook its wings and swept towards the dense forest.
The goshawk flew extremely fast and soon it was hovering on the forest.
Seeing that the eagle was not abnormal, General Eagle-Takeleton breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qin Qiong: "General, maybe we are worried too much."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the eagle in the forest suddenly roaring and no longer hovering in the forest. His wings hit him quickly and soared straight into the sky.
The Eagle-Tail General and the Eagle-Feeding Man all changed their faces. Just as the Eagle flew straight up, an arrow caught up from behind and hit him.
The goshawk suddenly lost weight in the air and fell vertically.
The Eagle Raising Man saw that his face was bloodless, his eyes were filled with tears and he cried loudly.
Seeing this, Qin Qiong ordered his soldiers to get on the horse and immediately retreated to the riverside.
Qin Qiong saw everything just now. He rode his horse and asked the Eagle-Feeding Man: "What's going on?"
The Eagle-Feeding Man said: "My eagle is very sensitive. Generally, archers on the grassland cannot shoot, unless only the Turkic Fuli can shoot down."
"What is Fuli?" Qin Qiong asked.
"The guard of the Turkic Khan, the bravest warrior on the grassland."
"Hide!"
While speaking, the whistle sounded loudly in Lin's voice.
Immediately afterwards, a strange sound of breaking wind sounded from the forest, and an arrow shot into the air.
Qin Qiong knew that this was the whistle that was shot out by the Turkic people, and summoned the Turkic warriors around him.
The cavalry in Lin came out one after another. Qin Qiong looked back at it immediately, but saw that the enemy cavalry were all wearing black wolf skins, with dozens of cavalry. It seemed that they were elite Turks, with Li cavalry.
Soon two or three miles away from the dense forest, cavalry gradually seeped out from it.
The Eagle-feeding Man beside him said, "Damn it, not only the Turks' Fuli, but also the Xi cavalry, they were all lying in the forest."
Qin Qiong did not dare to neglect and ordered the 300 cavalrymen to withdraw their troops at a faster pace. At this time, Luo Shixin also led his 300 cavalrymen to cross the river and came to meet Qin Qiong.
Luo Shixin immediately stepped forward and asked Qin Qiong, "What's wrong?"
Qin Qiong cursed: "The thief birds like the Turks were actually lying in the forest. If I hadn't taken a step earlier, hehe."
Luo Shixin changed his fear when he heard this. It was not only Luo Shixin, but also Qin Qiong's 300 cavalrymen who knew that if Qin Qiong had not seen the opportunity, he would have discovered that there was an ambush in the forest. Otherwise, once the 300 cavalry approached Lin Nei, they would have absolutely no luck when the enemy was killed.
At that moment, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin joined forces, and 600 cavalrymen worked hard to lean against the five hundred squadrons who had already set up their formation on the ridge. As for Qin Qiong, the other 200 squadrons were auxiliary soldiers, and they retreated to the riverside early.
The cavalry of the Turks, Khitans and Xi tribes gathered more and more, and there were already five or six thousand people.
They seemed not upset that they had lost the opportunity to annihilate the three hundred cavalry of Qin Qiong. After the troops gathered, the cavalry of the Turks and Xi clans came like black clouds.
Thousands of cavalry covered the grasslands with airtightness, and war horses neighed and hooves rumbling.
The leading general of the Turks was obviously very organized. He dispersed the cavalry and rushed to Qin Qiong's eight hundred soldiers in several ways, surrounding them in a half-moon shape.
The five hundred straits on the ridge had already set off the horse-resisting stake, spread caltrops, and raised large oars, while the five hundred straits raised their bows and crossbows.
Qin Qiong Luo Shixin's six hundred cavalry were in danger and joined the five hundred sergeants. Thousands of Turkic and Xi cavalry at the foot of the mountain also stopped in front of the Zhao army.
The Han army's arrow formation is famous all over the world. Turkic generals fought with the Sui army for many years and have learned about the strength of the Han army's crossbow formation.
When Yang Su led his army out of the frontier, the Sui army first suppressed the crossbow formation, and then swept across the armored cavalry, breaking more than 100,000 Turkic cavalry. Since then, the Turkic cavalry are very afraid of the Sui army's arrow formation and are not sure enough, so they no longer use cavalry to attack the Sui army infantry that has been arranged.
Only the Xi tribe and the Khitan did not know the depth. In the Battle of Bailang Mountain, the cavalry and infantry defeated the Han army's solid positions, and even suffered a crushing defeat.
Qin Qiong cursed: "The Turks are cunning and know how powerful my arrow formation is."
He originally planned to lure the Turkic cavalry to the range of the Han army infantry within the range of the bow and arrow, and plotted against the opponent. Unexpectedly, the Turks were very alert and retreated out of the range early, causing Qin Qiong to make mistakes.
Hearing Qin Qiong's curse, Luo Shixin guessed that the other party was afraid of his own arrow formation. He immediately said in a deep voice: "Brothers, all of them are dismounted, sit upright in front of the formation. Without my orders, you must not attack."
As soon as Luo Shixin's order was issued, all the soldiers were in an uproar.
The Eagle-killing General in Qin Qiong's army quickly advised: "The Turkic army is ahead, and my six hundred soldiers are already nervous, but the general is so confident and so arrogant in front of the enemy. If the Turkic cavalry comes to attack the formation, will our cavalry advance or retreat?"
Luo Shixin glanced at the other party and said, "What do you know? Brother Qin and I are here, where can you talk?"
After Luo Shixin's words were blocked, the Eagle Fighter General couldn't help but get angry. He was about to speak out, but he was hit by a whip on his head.
This whip was whipped by Qin Qiong, which suppressed the other party's anger back into his stomach.
Qin Qiong said, "What are you talking about? The words of Luo Lang are just me, Qin. You can follow the orders."
When the Eagle Fighter General heard Qin Qiong say this, he complained repeatedly in his heart, but he could only obey his orders.
After obeying the orders, the six hundred cavalry had no choice but to dismount.
The soldiers discussed, and one of them said, "It's really terrible. If the Turks see through us, they can only bluff and charge, our army will collapse. My old Xu is not afraid of death, but it is not worth it."
One person said, "Okay, okay, the matter of crossing the river was a dead sign. Now that we are being dealt with by these two confused generals, we are waiting for Wusheng to return to the south bank."
Everyone was full of curses, only one or two said, "What do you know? General Qin is brave and resourceful, otherwise he would not have seen the Turkish plan just now."
"That's General Qin's power, what is General Luo Lang? Judging from his young age, he has a few hairs on his mouth, he doesn't even take the Turks in his eyes?"
Someone said, "Maybe it was not General Luo Lang who was confused, but the empty city plan he laid out."
The soldiers were talking a lot, but Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were indifferent. They sat in front of the horse and simply took off their helmets and armor, picked up the wine pots, and the two drank each other and started drinking wine.
When the Eagle Fighter General and his soldiers saw him, they all fell together.
On the other hand, the Turkic cavalry were suspicious when they saw Qin Qiongluo Shixin and the 600 cavalry under their command. After so many years of fighting, they had never seen a general from the Sui people. Instead of wearing armor to fight, they got off the horse and drank.
The Turks did not act rashly, and they stood in front of the formation, neither forward nor backed up.
The two armies were less than one mile apart, and they actually stood up in a silent confrontation. Soon after, the Turks divided several waves of cavalry at the same time and rushed across the mountain ridge one after another. It was obviously sent to investigate from afar to see if there were any ambushing troops of the Zhao army.
When the troops saw it, they were full of worries. Once the Turks saw through the Zhao army, they would be in danger.
After Luo Shixin saw the Turkic people split into riders, he just looked around and didn't care about continuing to drink.
Seeing that the Zhao army seemed to have no reaction, the Turkic cavalry sent dozens of cavalry to test. The Turks rode their horses from time to time and flew past hundreds of steps away. The horse's hooves raised sand and soil, and rolled up smoke and dust.
The Zhao army had long received strict orders, so no one fought back. After testing this several times, the Turks became more and more bold. Seeing that the Zhao army was still not moving, they approached hundreds of steps and swam directly in front of the Zhao army.
The Turkic people's faces were already clear, and the distance between the two armies was only a few hundred steps. Sweat had already oozed from the nose of the Zhao army's infantry, hanging on the tip of the nose, but no one dared to wipe it off at this time. They just took the starting crossbow and pointed it at the Turkic cavalry in front of them.
Soon after, three Turkic cavalry were sent, one of which sent a signal from behind the mountain ridge, saying that there were no enemy ambushes behind the mountain ridge.
Luo Shixin could see clearly that a Turkic cavalry ran to the front of a Turkic man wearing a gray wolf fur coat and reported everything to him.
Luo Shixin lowered his voice and said, "I bet this person must be a Turkic official. I may be sure that he will be a Tutun, waiting for the jin."
Qin Qiong grinned, smeared the wine on his mouth, and said with a smile: "What are you waiting for?"
