The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 172 Difficulties (recommended for collection)

It was too easy to conquer Bungu, and Yang Tong's ambition grew. He first escorted the spoils to the south bank of the Kerelun River, and after handing them over to the militiamen who responded, he couldn't help but went to the Tongluo tribe again.

Not to be missed.If you don't kill now, when will you wait?
The battle was fought so smoothly that a servant recruited some brave men from his tribe.Another point is that they have no precautions: they never expected that the army would launch a violent attack on them in the ice and snow, so that they were killed without knowing who did it, and they had no way to resist.

After tonight, things will inevitably come to light. Tong Luo and Xue Yantuo are not idiots. Once they know that the Sui army has attacked, they will naturally not be as lax as they are today, and they will not be so easy if they get lucky in the future.

But before the news spread, the Sui army still had the advantage of surprise soldiers.There was also an attack on the two tribes in two days and two nights, but Tongluo was not as easy to capture as the Pugubu.

Although the Tongluo tribe also pledged allegiance to Jieli Khan, when Shibi Khan went south, even the chief was killed by Shibi Khan. They hated the Turks far more than other Tiele tribes, so the remaining People mainly focus on the development of the tribe, and they only sent [-] soldiers to Yudujin Mountain to cheer and cheer, leaving [-] elite guards for the tribe.

What is even more speechless is that Tong Luobu was stationed in the Kent Valley surrounded by mountains on three sides to avoid the wind and snow. This Kent Valley mouth faces east and has a slope of more than 500 meters from the ground. If a large army blocks the valley mouth, then arrange The two teams of archers shooting down arrows on the left and right cliffs must have no solution. No matter how good the elite teachers of the Sui Dynasty are, it is as difficult as climbing the sky to break this predicament.

If the Sui army attacked by force, the condescending Tongluo soldiers would definitely inflict heavy damage on the Sui army. Even if Qin Qiong's East Route Army was assembled, it is estimated that after taking the Kent Valley, there would be very few Sui troops of more than 4. , Self-defeating [-] miserable victory is by no means the victory that Yang Tong wants.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Tong realized that he was helpless in such a terrain.

So he asked: "I have an army of 30, and there are more than [-] people behind me, as well as sufficient food. If I arrange [-] troops to guard Taniguchi, and the other [-] archers are placed on the left and right sides of the cliff, and they will rotate every two hours. How should you guys break through this valley?"

Hearing Yang Tong's question, Luo Shixin, Yu Chigong, Shui Tianji, and Li Xiuning changed their colors one after another, and each of them began to think.

After a long while, Yu Chigong shook his head and said, "Except for a strong attack, I can't think of any other way."

Li Xiuning said with a serious face: "Husband, if you don't find a trail, don't fight this Tongluo if you can't find a trail. This place is too steep, and there is a tendency that one man is in charge and one man is in charge. Attacking is the next strategy. We travel lightly and travel a long way. Come on, it is not advisable to attack such an important place. Moreover, our purpose is to shake Xieli's rule and prestige, and weaken the war potential of Tiele and Turks. Instead of consuming it here, it is better to join forces with General Qin to conquer Xue Yantuo, and then, Fight other tribes."

Shui Tianji also said: "More importantly, Pugu and Ba Yegu have already been defeated by us. Sooner or later, the defeated tribes will run here to seek shelter. We don't have much time to spend here."

Hearing that there is no good way for everyone, Yang Tong thought about it, and immediately withdrew his troops for 500 miles, and stationed at the southeastern foot of Mount Kent to rest. People search and explore terrain.

If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, and win the many with the few, you must know the layout of the opponent's camp and the reality, so as to grasp the opponent's weakness and hit it immediately.

Yang Tong is not a person who can live at leisure, so he climbed the mountain and surveyed in person accompanied by more than a dozen soldiers.

An hour later, I came to the outside of the Kent Valley. Seeing the dense enemy camp in the distance, I didn't dare to go further. I just climbed the mountain wall in a roundabout way, and came to a high point with a wide view. Looking around, I saw the mountains stretching all around. Strange peaks are everywhere, boundless under the snowflakes, and the scenery is ever-changing, extremely strange.Below is a huge valley sunken into the mountain, and tents stretching for dozens of miles are placed in it.The entire valley is like a huge funnel, and the only exit is the mouth of the long and narrow funnel.

Although the layout of the tents is neat, there is nothing unusual about it.Yang Tong walked around the mountain and found that the other party was very comfortable. Except for some children playing in the snow, he seldom saw adults come and go. The vigilance of the enemy's invasion, as for the patrol soldiers, does not exist.

After observing repeatedly for a long time, his eyes aimed at the rear of the camp, suddenly his eyes lit up, he was afraid of his thigh, and said in a low voice: "Why do we need tens of thousands of troops, as long as a thousand people can destroy this Tongluo Department."

He thought of a clever plan to defeat the enemy, and didn't waste any more time. He happily ran back to the camp, and recalled the soldiers who stepped on the spot, and then gathered with Shui Tianji, Li Xiuning, Luo Shixin, and Yu Chigong.

"Husband, is there a way to defeat the enemy?" Seeing Yang Tong's excited face, Shui Tianji also asked happily.

"There is indeed a way to defeat the enemy!" Yang Tong drew a simple sketch on the snow and talked eloquently: "The Kent Valley is like a huge funnel, the deeper you go into it, the wider the terrain becomes. The Kent Valley is really big. But it seems a little crowded to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and millions of livestock. Since they are very leisurely, they obviously don't know about our arrival. Therefore, the enemy will be defeated tonight."

Luo Shixin asked: "Is it possible to continue to carry out night raids?"

"Surprise and unpreparedness can indeed achieve unexpected results. But... there is no need to be so troublesome." Yang Tong said with a smile: "Cows, sheep and horses are the lifeblood of grassland people. When marching, they will arrange heavy guards. Time is also hidden in the safest place."

Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said excitedly: "I understand what my husband means. The Tongluo people arrange their livestock in the deepest part of the valley. As long as we lower the rope from the top of the mountain at night, we can use the strength of the livestock to charge into battle. And the livestock Naturally afraid of fire, as long as there is a fire, the livestock with no way out will only rush to the open area, and this is the camp of the Tongluo people."

Yang Tong nodded, and said to Yuchi Gong: "Yuchi, you are now bringing the tsunami and flying feather bows to cut wood and collect rocks. You must seal the valley entrance to me tonight. I want Tie Le to change his surname from nine to eight from now on." surname."

"The last general takes orders! If one escapes like this, the last general will come to see you." Yuchi Gong smiled subduedly, his eyes shone with extreme coldness.

As a disaster-stricken border county, there is no one who does not hate the Turkic people who look like beasts, and no one does not hate the Turkic lackeys Tiele.
