Tuya Tutun could not say he was disgusted with Qin Xiao before, but he definitely did not like him.
After all, he is a warrior who has fought on the grassland for many years. A young Tang man is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of Tuya Tutun. If he did not respect Tage and agreed to obey Qin Xiao's command for Tage's sake, otherwise Tuya Tutun would
Tun didn't even look at Qin Xiao.
However, Qin Xiao showed his skill and shocked everyone with his skills. Tuya Tutun was impressed from the bottom of his heart. At this time, he vaguely understood why Tage valued a Tang Dynasty person so much.
Qin Xiao looked solemn, shook his head and said: "I'm not a hero. I didn't consider the horses, which led to changes in the team." Seeing that many men and horses had been lost, he said to Tutun: "Tuya Tutun, this is just now
At the beginning, we have to pass through swamps, and there are still dozens of miles to go. The further we go, the greater the impact of the miasma. I order everyone to cover the mouths and noses of the war horses to reduce the impact of the miasma on them."
Tuya Tutun also realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately ordered the soldiers to cover their mouths and noses, and even sent people on fast horses to notify the team that was detouring from the other side of the swamp.
However, a lot of cloth is needed to cover the mouth and nose of the war horse, and the bags containing food cannot be freed. Many people have no choice but to take off their outer coats and then take off the middle layer of clothing to cover them.
These warriors are physically strong and tenacious, barely able to withstand the cold.
After the team recovers, continue moving forward.
Qin Xiao's method had an immediate effect. He covered the nose and mouth of the war horse, and the cavalrymen were careful. Although the team was slow, there was no further incident of the horse losing its temper.
When Qin Xiao was crossing Heishuibo, Wuqingtage had already led troops down Luozhi Mountain.
Hundreds of corpses were lying scattered on the snow. Both sides had not had time to bury the corpses. What they saw was shocking.
On Luozhi Mountain, the flag of the Hegu people has been erected.
But everyone also saw that on a peak of Luozhi Mountain, the battle flag of the Zhenyu tribe was flying in a house. From this, it can be seen that although most of Luozhi Mountain is occupied by the Hegu people, there is still a final trace of the Zhenyu tribe.
The Yu warriors hold on to the last high ground.
Seeing the Zhenyu flag flying on the top of the mountain, the Zhenyu soldiers who came for reinforcements almost burst into tears.
"Wuluo Lansuo is really the best warrior in the grassland!" Gudan Tutun looked at the fluttering flag in the distance and sighed: "They have not been defeated yet, and they are still waiting for our reinforcements."
Everyone also saw that the flags of the Bone He people were scattered all over the mountain. They had controlled almost all the dangerous places on the mountain, and they could vaguely see the crowds of people on the mountain. It was obvious that the other party had already made preparations for the arrival of Zhenyu reinforcements.
Being able to survive the attack of the Hegu people who had an absolute superior force and still be able to hold on until now, the perseverance of the Zhenyu soldiers on the mountain naturally awes everyone.
Seeing the corpses of many Zhenyu soldiers scattered on the snow, the reinforcements were furious and gearing up, waiting for Tag's order to start attacking the enemy troops on the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, a low horn sound came from far away. Everyone was focused on the lonely real feather battle flag on the top of the mountain. They all knew that the horn sound was not a charge, but a signal from the trapped soldiers on the mountain to the reinforcements.
Tell your companions at the foot of the mountain that they will persevere until the end.
"Tage, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the attack." A Tutun asked Tage to fight.
Wu Qingtage, however, scanned the situation on the mountain. As far as she could see, the Hegu people were also prepared. She knew very well that Qin Xiao had dispatched more than 3,000 people to carry out the surprise attack plan. The reinforcements she had brought now were less than 10,000, but
The main force of He Gu who was stationed on the mountain did not have any disadvantage in terms of military strength. Even because they controlled Luozhi Mountain and were condescending, they had an absolute advantage.
Whether it is in terms of military strength or geographical location, the True Feather Army does not have the slightest advantage.
If an attack were launched at this moment, the possibility of the Zhenyu Army capturing Luozhi Mountain was extremely slim, and there would also be a large number of casualties.
The most important thing is that the purpose of her troops coming here is no longer to capture Luozhi Mountain, but to attract the attention of the He Gu Army and hold the main force of the He Gu Army on Luozhi Mountain, thereby giving Qin
A happy plan creates opportunities.
"Go down with the order and set up camp on the spot." Tagg didn't have the slightest intention of rushing to attack, but got off his horse.
Except for a very few people who knew the inside story, everyone else was very surprised.
Reinforcement is like putting out a fire. The last few of Uluolan's men and horses were surrounded on the mountain. At this time, it was even more important to launch an attack immediately, cooperate with the companions on the mountain, and fight against the Hegu people. However, Tag actually ordered to set up camp, which made many
Everyone is a little depressed.
"Tage, everyone's morale is high and we should take advantage of the situation to attack. How can we...?" Some people were unwilling to give in.
But Gudan Tutun had already said in a deep voice: "Just follow Tag's order. We in Tiancang are advancing the army, working day and night, and everyone is exhausted." He raised his hand and pointed at the soldiers, "You have all seen it.
, everyone has consumed a lot of energy. The Hegu people have taken a rest after conquering Luozhi Mountain. What chance of winning if they attack rashly at this time? Set up camp first, let everyone eat and drink enough, and recover their physical strength before obeying.
Tag's resolution."
Gudan Tutun already has great prestige in the Zhenyu tribe, and what he said is also true. Although many people are eager to attack the mountain, Tag has orders, and what Gudan Tutun said is not a problem.
Well, no more words.
The entire army dismounted and began to camp at the foot of the mountain.
"Gudan Tutun, you arrange a few warriors to go up the mountain as envoys." Wu Qingtage said: "You must be good at words to persuade the Hegu people to retreat, and tell them that Luozhi Mountain is the land of our Zhenyu tribe, and no one can
It cannot be taken away from us. More than 30 years ago, they paid countless lives, but in the end they had no choice but to withdraw their troops. If they hope that the scene more than 30 years ago will happen again, we will not let them down."
Gudan Tutun knew that the purpose of sending the envoy was to delay time, so he nodded and said: "Don't worry Tag, I will arrange this."
Tagge looked at the densely packed heads on the mountain, but he was thinking in his heart, without Qin Xiao's plan, with the current strength of Zhen Yubu, would it really be possible to recapture Luozhi Mountain?
Even if Luozhi Mountain is recaptured, how many Xile people's bones will be buried here?
Zhen Yu and He Gu come from the same lineage and have been fighting for hundreds of years. It is a bleak thing for the Xile people. If the two sides fight to the death and countless Xile warriors are buried here, will the Xile people never recover from the fall?
As Qin Xiao said, the situation in the desert today is very different from what it was more than thirty years ago. If Luozhi Mountain is unavoidable this time and both sides are killed, it may be another starting point for the situation in the desert to change.
The Siler people may really become slaves trampled under the feet of the Tusun people when they come down.
She felt scared just thinking about it.
If Qin Xiao hadn't appeared, even if he had narrowly escaped death, facing the current situation and the excitement of the crowd, this battle would have been inevitable, and he would have probably led to the destruction of the True Feather Tribe.
Although that Tang man sometimes took advantage of me, there was no doubt that from the moment he appeared, he was like a god descending to earth, always protecting me.
She prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that Qin Xiao's plan would succeed smoothly and that the man could return to her safe and sound.
In the dark night, Qin Xiao and more than 3,000 soldiers were like ghosts in the swamp of death, walking silently through it.
Although accidents still happen from time to time, and the dead soldiers fall into the swamp from time to time, fortunately, Qin Xiao's strategy at the beginning is very effective. Whenever the dead soldiers fall into it, the people behind them will immediately pull them back desperately, pulling them away.
The dead man was pulled out of the gate of hell.
During these dozens of miles, we walked extremely slowly. Until the next morning and a whole night passed, we still had not completely left the swamp.
And in order to avoid being corroded by the miasma, no one dared to take off their masks to eat.
By noon, Qin Xiao found that he had reached the edge of the swamp, far away from the dead land full of withered vines and grass.
"Fortunately it's winter." Qin Xiao sighed: "The miasma here is really severe. If summer passes through here and the miasma is so pervasive, it would be useless to cover your mouth and nose."
Tuya Tutun also said with emotion: "We are the first team to pass through here. If we can succeed, we will definitely be praised by others in the future."
"Tuya Tutun, if you pass through the swamp this time, someone will definitely follow suit in the future." Qin Xiao said: "If the Hegu people or Buliuda people go south through the swamp, no one will be prepared for Zhen Yu.
It's also a threat. I think we will send patrols to the south of the swamp in the future." After a pause, he said solemnly: "Fortunately, there is no one on guard here. I heard people say that once the miasma encounters fire, it will easily burn.
When someone lights a fire, the consequences will be disastrous."
Tuya Tutun already admired Qin Xiao and said: "Yes, after this battle, I will send people to guard the south of the swamp. If there are troops who want to pass through here, they will throw torches into the swamp and kill them."
All burned to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard cheers from not far ahead. Everyone looked up and saw a group of soldiers and horses riding over there cheering. From a distance, they heard someone shout loudly: "We are coming, we are coming.
It’s...!” The excitement was hard to suppress.
Everyone else was shocked and quickened their pace.
After walking out of the swamp, everyone's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. Many people even lay directly on the snow and stretched their limbs, feeling unprecedented relief.
Before entering the death swamp, many soldiers even thought that they would die in the swamp. However, under Qin Xiao's arrangement, the team miraculously passed through the shocking black water. Although some people were killed or injured, but with the
Compared with the number of losses estimated in advance, the number is almost negligible.
Qin Xiao looked back at the swamp and sighed, knowing that by conquering this obstacle, his surprise attack plan was already half successful.
"The order goes down and everyone rests where they are." Tuya Tutun also felt relieved and ordered: "Check your bows, arrows and sabers, feed your mounts well, and restore your strength to both humans and horses. In addition, arrange for people to go to
Exploring around, we must not let anyone discover our presence."
Qin Xiao looked at the sky and asked: "Tutun, how far is Tieshan from here?"
"Iron Mountain is in the northwest." Tuya Tutun pointed to the northwest, "It's less than two hundred miles away. If we hurry up and set off at dusk, we can arrive in the middle of the night. Marching during the day is easy to be discovered, so we hurry up now
Recover your strength and set off immediately after dark!"
