Liu Yu was hesitating when he suddenly heard another soldier shouting: "Commander of the brigade, look over there, another large group of people is coming!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats, accompanied by bursts of strange cries, were obviously the cavalry of Tuyuhun. Judging from the formation, there were many more cavalry than the group of cavalry that had just been repulsed today. Liu Yu had no choice but to move the dozens of people walking around the mountain.
Put it aside and said in a deep voice: "Get the stones ready! Pull up the remaining twenty cows!"
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "Commander of the Brigade, if they all charge forward, we, the two hundred people, can't stop them, so let's raise the flag!"
Each soldier was wrapped, draped, or carried a flag. Before leaving, Liu Ziqiu suggested that Liu Yu ask Zhang Shou for these flags. They said they were used to keep out the cold, but in fact, the real purpose was to arrange suspicious soldiers.
Liu Ziqiu had already imagined all the most difficult scenarios, but just to prevent his troops from being shaken, he did not dare to say them out at first.
After repelling Murong Dinghan, Liu Ziqiu was prepared to prevent the Tuyuhun people from coming back, so he asked his soldiers to cut down trees, urgently cut two hundred flagpoles, tied all the flags they carried, and hid them on the top of the mountain. Now,
Following the order, these flags loomed out of nowhere.
Virtual reality is real, real reality is virtual, this move is in line with the way of using troops. Liu Yu, who has been in the army for a long time, can't help but secretly nod. According to Liu Yu's idea, since he is a suspicious soldier, he should make a big show of it to scare off the enemy.
But Liu Ziqiu didn't think so, because they only had flags but no drums. If two hundred flags suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain without enough noise to match, it would only be self-defeating.
At the foot of the mountain, nearly ten thousand cavalry gathered together, shouting and neighing, and it was very lively. However, Xifeng Yelilan, Hunluo, and Mengwuza all knew about Murong Dinghan's defeat and did not dare to rush into the army rashly. The three of them gathered together
Discuss together.
Hunluo looked up at the quiet mountain top and said, "Murong Dinghan said there were tens of thousands of Sui troops on the mountain, why didn't he see any movement?"
Xi Feng Ye Lilan said without thinking: "The Sui people are treacherous. Murong Dinghan may have been ambushed by the Sui people. I guess the Sui people are thinking of repeating their old plan."
Murong Dinghan suffered such a heavy loss and refused to reveal that he had not even seen the enemy. He also strictly ordered his subordinates not to reveal the circumstances of their defeat. Of course, Xifen Yelilan and the others had no way of knowing.
Mengwuza frowned and said: "It's not completely dark at this time, why not send a group of people to test it immediately. Tens of thousands of troops and horses will always show some traces."
As soon as these words came out, both Xifeng Yelilan and Hunluo stared at Mengwuza without saying a word. Although Hunluo and Mengwuza were both sent to supervise Xifengyelilan, they and Xifengyeli
Lan's thoughts are the same, and they have the same idea. No matter what, they must preserve their own strength first. At this point, they will not be overly demanding that Xifenye Lilan charge forward, as long as he is willing to contribute.
. If there were tens of thousands of Sui troops on the mountain, they would not let their people die in vain.
After a long silence, Hun Luo just said: "The Sui people have ceased their activities. What traces can be revealed? Whose troops are there to test? If there are fewer troops, the Sui people will naturally not use their full strength. If there are more troops, who will bear the loss? Unless you can
Fly to the sky, otherwise, how can we see the clues!"
Mengwuza slapped his thigh and said repeatedly: "If you didn't mention it, I almost forgot. This is a good idea. Let's go to heaven and see it now!"
Xifengye Lilan's eyes widened and he looked at Mengwuza in disbelief and said, "Are you crazy? You don't have wings, how can you go to heaven?"
Mengwuza chuckled and said: "I didn't make it clear. I can't go to heaven, but my falcon can!"
It turns out that the Shiwei people have the custom of domesticating golden eagles. The domesticated golden eagles have another name, called falcons. But whether they are golden eagles or falcons, their ferocious habits have never changed. They can not only catch hares
, prey such as deer, and can even fight with wolves. Another characteristic of falcons is that they have excellent eyesight. They can still see objects on the ground clearly at an altitude of several thousand meters.
Mongwuza had an excellent falcon, which he had tamed for three years. This falcon was extremely smart and seemed to be able to understand its owner. In addition to using it to catch prey, Mongwuza also often used it to find pastures and water sources.
, detecting enemy traces, it is simply an "early warning aircraft". In Mengwuza's eyes, the role of this falcon cannot be compared to that of three teams of well-trained scout cavalry.
An eagle slave had already carried the golden eagle over. Mengwuza took the golden eagle and let it stand on his shoulder. He tilted his head and whispered something to it. He saw the golden eagle flapping its wings.
It rose up, gradually flew up into the sky, turned into a small black spot, circled a few times over the mud ridge, swooped down, and landed steadily on Mengwuza's shoulder. Mengwuza faced him again.
The golden eagle began to whisper, and the golden eagle would shake its head for a while, and sometimes it would call a few times.
This time, even Hunluo couldn't hold back his anger, and laughed and said: "Meng Wu Zha, what does a beast know? Why do you talk to so many people? Could it really be able to see how many ambushes are on the top of the mountain?"
"
But Mengwuza said seriously: "Yes! My falcon has already seen it. There are at least a hundred flags hidden in the mud mountains and forests!"
Xifeng Yelilan and Hunluo couldn't help but look at each other and asked in unison: "Can it really be seen?"
Mengwuza said with pride: "Even the hare hiding in the grass cannot escape the eyes of my falcon, let alone the brightly colored flag? How can it be fake!"
As tribal leaders, they all have some understanding of the Sui military system and what these one hundred flags mean. That is to say, there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses ambushed on the top of the mountain, not to mention that there may be more than one hundred flags on the top of the mountain.
.
Xi Fengye Lilan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "The flag is bright, the falcon can see it, and we should be able to see it too. It's just that it's getting late now, so why don't we camp at the foot of the mountain and wait until dawn tomorrow to figure it out."
Hunluo and Mengwuza were convinced of this, so they set up camps in three places. At the foot of the mountain was a large plain, which was suitable for cavalry operations. They were not worried that the Sui troops on the top of the mountain would come down to attack.
When the sky was bright, I saw some red, yellow, and blue things faintly visible in the mountains and forests. They were still swaying slightly when the wind blew. What were they if they weren't flags?
Xi Fengye Lilan and others all understood that since there were tens of thousands of Sui troops on the mountain, even if they suffered heavy casualties, it would be difficult for them to complete the tasks assigned by Murong Fuyun before dark. However, they were worried about being attacked by Murong Fuyun if they retreated to Chawo Zhenshan.
Yun's punishment. When he was in a dilemma, a scout suddenly came to report that a large Sui army was found in the southeast.
Hun Luo was shocked and said: "Retreat quickly, otherwise we will be attacked from both sides."
But Mongwuza gritted his teeth and said: "They came just in time! If we go back here, it is inevitable that someone will gossip. No matter whether we win or lose, at least we have fought a battle, and we can have an explanation to the king after we go back!"
Xifeng Yelilan also loudly agreed, but Hunluo couldn't defeat the two of them, so he had to order the troops to break out. Suddenly, another scout came to report, saying that they had found out that the Sui army was no more than 3,000 people, and they were all infantry.
The three people couldn't help but feel refreshed, and even Hun Luo put aside any doubts he had.
These three thousand Sui army infantry were the troops led by Yu Wenjing, but they came from the east of Niling in a big way. Yu Wenjing, who was not familiar with military affairs, did not even send out scouts. In fact, even if he sent out scouts, it would be useless.
No matter what, the legs can't run as fast as four legs.
When the Tuyuhun cavalry all over the mountains and plains appeared in front of Yu Wenjing, he panicked and ordered to form a formation. But it was too late. These soldiers temporarily mobilized from various places lacked training, and it took half a day to form a simple square formation.
Before their formation was ready, the Tuyuhun cavalry had already rushed in front of them, shooting random arrows like locusts. The infantry of the Sui army were caught off guard, and they were hit by arrows one after another, and screams came one after another. Yu Wenjing himself had a war horse, and in more than ten years he had a war horse.
Surrounded by soldiers, he fled.
The remaining three thousand infantry of the Sui army lost their command, and were scurrying around like headless flies, even trampling on each other, causing heavy casualties.
Suddenly, hundreds of flags on the mud ridge danced together and moved down the mountain, as if countless people and horses were about to kill them.
Hun Luo was the most cautious. While he mobilized his troops to kill the Sui infantry, he paid attention to the movements on the mud ridge. When he saw the flags fluttering, there were more than two hundred flags. He couldn't help but be frightened. He patted his horse and said: "Xiao
Lord Feng, Lord Mengwu, we have fallen into a trap!"
When the cavalry rushes forward to kill, they are most afraid of being cut off from their retreat. Besides, if someone dies in battle, it will be their own clansmen.
Xi Fengye Lilan looked at the Sui army in chaos in front of him, and was quite reluctant to give up on the great victory that was about to be won, but no matter how great the victory was, it was not as important as the lives of his own people, so he had to wave his hand and ordered:
"withdraw!"
The fleeing Sui army infantry were a little confused when they saw the Tuyuhun cavalry coming and going quickly. However, the enemy troops had retreated, and the soldiers could take a breath. They looked for their general Yu Wenlang, but he was long gone.
Traces of Yu Wenjing.
At this time, a man ran down from the mud ridge, the big red army flag in his hand fluttering in the wind. The man ran very fast on the rugged mountain road and was in front of him in an instant.
Some soldiers recognized him, and it was the man who organized the soldiers' drills a few days ago. When they heard the news, they had gone to watch and even laughed at him, but now they regret it. If they had persisted in training like them, they would have
The casualties would not be so heavy.
Looking at the corpses and the injured in agony everywhere, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but sigh secretly. If he hadn't persuaded Liu Yu in time, let the soldiers wave the flag and shout, and scare away the Tuyuhun people by charging down the mountain, I'm afraid that these three thousand steps
All the soldiers must be accounted for here. Even so, more than half of the casualties have been lost.
A soldier had already asked: "Why are you here alone?"
Liu Ziqiu had no time to talk nonsense with him, so he waved the flag and said: "Quick, hurry up the mountain!"
Only then did the soldiers wake up and started running towards the mud ridge in a flurry. However, they saw the flag in Liu Ziqiu's hand blocking their way, and shouted sternly: "Stop everyone!"
