The Xi tribe, Shi Wei, Wei, and Tiele tribes were incorporated, and some miscellaneous Hus in the Xiliang counties. At present, the Hu team under Yuwen Chenglong has exceeded the 300,000 mark in one fell swoop!
It’s okay for the Tieler tribes to say that after the elimination of this 100-mile journey, the rest were basically young and strong, but the local Mihus in Xiliang were all old, weak, sick and disabled!
Yuwen Chenglong’s original intention of acquiring various counties was naturally not to expect these barbarians to expand their territory, but to try his best to reduce the population of these Hu people!
After setting this tone, Yuwen Chenglong naturally would not think about getting any good equipment for these barbarians, just let everyone take hatches, axes, bows and so on.
However, the issue of logistics supply made Yuwen Chenglong a little nervous.
It turns out that although Yuwen Chenglong went on the expedition this time, he plundered many horses, cattle, sheep, etc., these things are rare in the Middle Earth. Naturally, Yuwen Chenglong didn't want to waste them all like this for these Hu people! But the counties of Xiliang
The robbery proceeds, coupled with the food and grass stored locally in Hanzhong, are not enough to support the war of these more than 400,000 troops!
"Otherwise, let's go to the Li Yuan Old Tyrant's Ba family to rob? Let's grab one more point, and Li Yuan Old Tyrant's Ba will lose one less! Moreover, so many counties in Xiliang should be enough for our hundreds of thousands of troops to rob for a while!
After robbing Xiliang, we can still go to Guanzhong to continue robbing! Anyway, we can't make Li Yuan's old turtle comfortable!"
The silly boy Yuwen Chengdu’s almost playful proposal was magically recognized by all the generals!
Finally, Yuwen Chenglong made a decision. In addition to hoarding some food and grass in Longxi for emergency purposes, other troops were raised on the spot.
As for the women, children, cattle, sheep and so on robbery in the previous period, all of them were escorted back to Hanzhong by Yuwen Haotian.
Next, all Yuan troops were divided into four groups.
The first route was the 100,000 Hu soldiers under Yuchi Gong, who were in charge of Jincheng and prepared to fight against the Western Turkish army;
The second route was the 100,000 Hu soldiers led by Qin Qiong, who set out from Longxi and headed west to attack the counties of Kuohan and Lintao; and waited for an opportunity to support Yuchi Gong's troops;
Next was Yuwen Chengdu, the third route led by Li Jing, which was also 100,000 Hu soldiers. He headed east to Tianshui to bully Li Xiaoji's troops, and then plundered Hechi, Anding and Pingliang counties;
The last fourth route was Yuwen Chenglong's army, with a total of 80,000 yuan in military leadership and more than 20,000 Hu soldiers. They were in charge of Longxi and served as the general reinforcements of the three aspects. They were ready to respond to the situation at any time.
On this side, the Yuan army had just set off for two days, and the 300,000 troops of Ye Hu, who were commanding the Western Turkish army, finally arrived in Jincheng County.
At this time, Yuchi Gong and Su Lie had been preparing for Jincheng for nearly half a month. Under the emergency construction of a hundred thousand troops, the city wall of Jincheng was increased by about two meters. The total height reached nearly eight meters!
Moreover, the gray bottles of cannon fire on the city walls, rolling wood and rocks, etc. were also well prepared!
If Tongye Hu wants to attack the city, he is afraid that even if he doesn’t fill in the 100,000 people, he will not be able to reach the top of Jincheng!
Tongye Hu is not a military novice. You can tell at a glance that it is basically impossible to attack Jincheng!
He led the Xitu people and horses to the east, not to die, but to grab more money and food to strengthen Xitu so that he can have the capital to compete with the East Turk!
Since you can't attack forcefully, in that case, you can only be fooled!
Unfortunately, Tongye Hu's wisdom was not yet at the point where he could come up with three ideas in a blink of an eye! This guy broke dozens of beards and didn't come up with any tricks!
"If it really doesn't work, let's leave Jincheng and ignore it. Just go to Chang'an to meet with Li Yuan's old fox!"
"But if you don't fight such a battle and just bypass it in shame, it seems a little embarrassed!"
After hesitating for a while, Tongye Hu decided to set up camp under Jincheng first and observe the situation before discussing it!
As a nomadic people, the way for the Xitu army to set up camp is very simple, which is to line up the tails of the accompanying carriages in a large circle, and all the animals and people live in the circle, people set up tents, and animals are locked in temporary fences!
Of course, due to the unique vigilance of the grassland people, Tongye Hu did not forget to sprinkle a large number of scouts around the camp.
In order to obtain water, Tongye Hu ordered people to set up the camps in the Taoshui River area west of Jincheng. More than 400,000 people, plus millions of small and small livestock, the camp tent stretched out nearly two
A big long strip in Baili.
Although Tong Ye Hu had ruthlessly sent out more than 3,000 scouts, on average, there were only a dozen people within the area of this land.
It’s a blessing that Tongye Hu only needs to monitor the direction of Jincheng on the east side of the camp!
Normally, there is no problem with Tong Ye Hu's arrangement like this! Unfortunately, his opponent is the Yuan army who never plays according to common sense!
Just the night when Tongyehu arrived at Jincheng, about midnight, a ball of fire suddenly rose from the northeast of Xitu camp, and in the blink of an eye it turned into thousands of stars.
Before the Turkic soldiers who were patrolling the night realized what was going on, the thousands of stars had turned into a long fire dragon, and they were ruthlessly ramming towards the Turkic camp!
In a moment, the fire dragon's head was less than a hundred steps away from the Turkic camp. Then, tens of thousands of meteors shot out from the fire dragon and smashed straight into the Turkic camp. In the blink of an eye, the Turkic camp rose into the Turkic camp tent.
Thousands of fires rose!
In the next half a minute, the fire dragon galloped along the edge of the Turkic camp from north to south, and smashed the twelve rounds of fire meteors into the Turkic camp.
As a result, tens of thousands of fires rose in the Turkic camp within about ten miles of this area.
It is early winter now, and the weather is dry, and the Turkic camps are basically filled with hay for feeding animals. Now, when the fire catches, the nearby Turkic camps have turned all the nearby Turkic camps into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye!
Moreover, with the not-small northwest wind, the fire spread from north to south, storming the entire Turkic camp!
As grassland herders, the Turks have always made a living by herding sheep. Even if they are recruited now, they are not organized or disciplined. So, when those confused herders suddenly discovered that the camp fire broke out, they suddenly became in chaos.
A bunch!
And those horses, cattle, sheep and other people living with the Turks even roared and clashed in the flames, trampled and confronted each other, making the already chaotic Turkic camp even more chaotic and completely messed up!
In his sleep, Tongye Hu was awakened by the noise outside the tent. When Tongye Hu ran out of the tent in a daze, he was seeing groups of herders, looking at the north in a daze.
Following the eyes of the herdsmen, Tong Ye Hu was seeing half of the night sky that had been reflected red!
"Why are you still standing there? Let's put out the fire for Ben Khan!"
After being yelled by Tongye Hu, the herdsmen finally came to their senses and rushed around to search for water bags, buckets and other things, and then rushed to the Tao River to fetch water in a mess!
The process of fetching water is very easy, but after picking up the water, the herdsmen ran for a while until they were so tired that they stuck out their tongues, but found that they had not arrived at the fire site yet!
It turns out that the main account where Tongye Hu is located is seventy or eighty miles away!
Just as these Turkic herders were hesitating whether to continue to carry water and run, or go back to the camp and ride, a dull sound of horse hooves came from the east!
In the shocked gaze of the Turks, a group of people and horses emerged from the night like ghosts. The group of ghosts and horses were all wrapped in black. The sound was extremely light when they ran. In such a chaotic night, if it were not for a distance
It's hard to detect at all.
Faced with this suspected non-human creature, the Turkic soldiers immediately dared to run away before they even started!
However, the ghost cavalry on the opposite side were not polite. They raised their cold steel knives and rushed to these Turkic soldiers! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian() to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
