Chapter 484 Chapter Eleven Turning Enemy into Friend

The Golden Wolf Army hastily withdrew, and the reinforcements came from the northeast in an orderly manner, forming an array in the south of Helen Fort. The Black Wolf flag fluttered under the rising red sun, showing that the Eastern Turkic Overlord was second only to Ganjieli Tuli came in person. What arrived was the vanguard of the Black Wolf Army with more than 2,000 riders. The leading generals were all similar in size and appearance to Tuli, but younger than Tuli. The Golden Wolf Army can't stay far away, not only to prevent them from suddenly counterattacking, but also to judge whether there is an opportunity to take advantage of the situation of the opponent's entire army.

Everyone survived a desperate situation, calling it a fluke. The Bodhisattva said: "This general must be Tuli's younger brother's association rate. It is said that this person is brave and good at fighting, and he is Tuli's powerful help." The sound of hoofbeats sounded again, and Tuli's main army appeared on the northeast horizon, galloping at full speed, the army was at its peak, with a strength of 15,000 soldiers, although the number was less than half that of Jieli, it was already fighting. Ba Fenghan sighed, "Today's trip to Jieli is in danger."

Kou Zhongqi said: "The strength of Xieli is more than double that of Tuli, why did your elder brother say that?" Xu Ziling also said: "Although Jieli lost his spirit because of besieging us, his strength is not compromised. The Golden Wolf Army is all elites who have experienced many battles. In a head-on confrontation, it is hard to predict who will win the battle." But the Bodhisattva couldn't help nodding and smiling, expressing that he understood why Ba Fenghan made such a judgment. Ba Fenghan stared at the approaching army, and said in a deep voice: "On the prairie, the decline of one nation represents the rise of another nation. Since the rise of the Turkic Khan, Dianmi has led ten chieftains and led one hundred thousand troops. , defeated Rouran, established a nomadic khanate with a wider territory and more powerful prestige than the ancient Huns, set up tooth tents in Dujin Mountain, and all the tribes in the grassland were awed. Still from invincible hands."

The Bodhisattva said, "Since Jieli has reused Zhao Deyan as the national teacher, and allowed him to specialize in state affairs, the government orders are harsh, and people's hearts have been disintegrated. All the clans who originally belonged to the Eastern Turks have rebellious intentions. Now Jieli and Tuli are at odds. It is really great news for the various ethnic groups in this area. So as long as Tuli can fight a few beautiful tough battles and show that it has the strength to compete with Jieli, it is likely to win the strong support of all ethnic groups in this area. What about the danger?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling suddenly realized that in the past the Turkic invasions would be invaded together with other nomadic peoples. If the unity of all ethnic groups outside the Great Wall could be broken, the Central Plains would have a chance to breathe. A group of people rushed out from the army, the leader was Tuli, and they rushed straight to Helenburg. Ba Fenghan moved back a little, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling leaned towards him at the same time, grasping him firmly from left to right. Kou Zhong said: "Brother, can you write off the old hatred with Tuli for the sake of me and Ziling?"

Ba Fenghan smiled wryly and said: "Little brother's legs are weak now, even if he wants to leave, he is powerless, why arrest me like a prisoner?" The answer was in Chinese, and the Bodhisattva couldn't understand it, so he asked in surprise, "What happened?" Xu Ziling let go of Ba Fenghan, and said to Tuli who was running up the south slope: "Khan, please come up and get together, we even have trouble walking." Tu Li laughed loudly and said, "Did you learn your Turkic dialect from Brother Feng Han? Jing's Chinese is almost better than my younger brother's."

Kou Zhong heard that Tuli called Ba Fenghan brother and brother, let go of his worries, and said happily: "Look at you, you seem to know that we are here." The Bodhisattva said loudly: "Bodhisattva pays homage to Khan!" He saluted with his subordinates. Tu Li jumped off the horse, flipped, and landed in front of the crowd, grabbing Ba Fenghan's shoulder and said with a long smile: "You are the brother of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, you are my brother of Tu Li, you don't need to say anything else. .” Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were grateful in their hearts, Tuli was worthy of being a good brother who had lived and died with them.

Ba Fenghan laughed, grabbed Tuli's hands with his backhand, and said decisively: "It seems that I don't want to be brothers with you." Tuli let go of Ba Fenghan, came to the Bodhisattva, opened his arms and said, "Do you know how grateful I am to you, if you didn't help my three brothers regardless of life and death, I would lose them forever, even if Jieli My body is broken into thousands of pieces, but the hatred in my heart is still hard to get rid of." He hugged the Bodhisattva into his arms. The Bodhisattva's tiger eyes turned red, obviously very moved by Tuli's attention.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling thought to themselves, no wonder Tuli enjoys so much in his hometown, he really has a way of winning people's hearts. Tu Li solemnly said to the Bodhisattva: "No matter how fiercely that old fellow Shi Jian opposes, our brothers will definitely help you return to He and get back what you deserve." All the sons and daughters who followed the Bodhisattva knelt down, and some were so excited that they wept bitterly. The impossible dream finally had a chance to come true. In fact, the Bodhisattva was at the end of his life, and sooner or later he would become a field of horse thieves. Immediately becomes another matter.

Tuli let go of the Bodhisattva, rushed over to hug Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and sighed, "You guys are finally here! Fortunately, I have always had spies in Tongwan, so I knew you were trapped in Helen Fort. I thought I would never see you again. You, fortunately, you have created another miracle. This battle will cause a sensation in the prairie, and your name will never fade in the prairie." Ba Fenghan pointed to the dust heads of the Golden Wolf Army that were still clearly visible on the edge of the grassland, and said coldly: "This battle is just the beginning, Xieli is waiting for us over there."

Tu Li, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Bodhisattva came to Ba Fenghan's side, and looked in that direction, five pairs of eyes lit up at the same time. Tu Li said in a deep voice: "Jie Li doesn't think much of me, so we will prove it to him with hard facts, so that he knows how wrong this idea is." If it weren't for special circumstances, Xieli would have easily repelled Tuli's black wolf army with a superior force.But now the Golden Wolf Army has been fighting bloody all night, exhausted and exhausted. They can't even enter the mere Helen Fort, and they have to retreat hastily. There is a world of difference. This is not the only thing that discouraged the Golden Wolf Army most, because Ba Fenghan, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling had already planted an invincible image in their hearts, who would not be frightened by their martial arts and archery skills. Tuli saw what was true and false, and immediately swung his troops to attack. As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Golden Wolf army was exhausted. In several small-scale battles, the Black Wolf Army had the upper hand. After three days of chasing, Xieli retreated along the Wuding River to the Benlangyuan, the rolling hills in the east of Yuerhai, and was able to stabilize the morale of the army, re-arranged and prepared for the enemy. On the other side of the grassland, Tuli formed a camp on the hills on the north bank of the famous tributary at the east end of the Qilulian River, preparing to fight Xieli head-on. When the sun was setting, Tuli, Jiejieshuo, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan and Bodhisattva came to the front line, watched the enemy's formation from a distance on the highest hill, and studied the strategy of tomorrow's confrontation. Two miles away, the Golden Wolf Army was stationed on more than a dozen hills, and the flames were dotted with flames, shining red. Kou Zhong sighed: "Little Jieli really knows how to choose a place. If I were him, I would use the cover of trees and hills to hold out and fight back when we were discouraged." Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "Why don't we go in tonight, kill people and set fire to them, and make them sleepless, so we'll be discouraged first." Xu Ziling said: "This can only be a small harassment, if it's not good, we might not come back with our lives." Tuli agreed: "In the final analysis, the situation is still in our favor, so there is no need to take risks." Kou Zhong said decisively: "Tonight is our only chance to win, but it is not setting fire to a few camps, but a large-scale attack." Including Xu Ziling, everyone was stunned. After these few days of chasing, both sides are exhausted physically and mentally, unable to fight, and should strive for more rest time. Kou Zhong laughed and said: "Look, even you didn't expect your own army to launch a fierce attack, and the enemy would never expect it. This is a surprise soldier." The Bodhisattva smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, I just think I can't do it." Kou Zhong said solemnly: "I'm not joking. If Rong Jieli's men and horses rest all night, everyone will be in good spirits tomorrow, then it will be our turn to be in trouble, so we must catch him by surprise first, although the enemy seems to be on the defensive now It is impeccable, but it is actually a scattered force. As long as we concentrate our elites, we will pretend to push forward across the board at the beginning, and then concentrate on a point to make a breakthrough. Brother Ling Shao, Lao Ba, and Bodhisattva and I will lead the way. The goal is Xieli's Khan Tent , It's like two people confronting each other, trying to take the opponent's vital points, even if he has several times more people, he still can't finish eating." The association rate was shocked and said: "Young commander's words are not unreasonable." Tu Li said, "When do you think it's best to attack?" Kou Zhongdao: "Two hours before sunrise, after dinner, your elder brother will order the three thousand most elite fighters participating in the assault to go to bed early, but don't tell them what they will do, so that they Rest in peace and wake them up before action." Ba Fenghan said: "Three hours of deep sleep are enough to restore physical strength." Tu Li excitedly said, "How will the others cooperate?" Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Wave the flag and shout, it can be done!" The association led the way: "If Jieli sends experts to attack the camp first to harass, will we become passive from the initiative?" Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "You can rest assured, if it's Zhao Deyan and Dun Yugu who come, it's too late for us to welcome them. As for the next-level masters, I'll just be in charge of greeting them!" Kou Zhong shook his head and smiled, "This method is too passive, not the best strategy. We have to lead Xieli by the nose in the three hours before the surprise attack, but they have a chance to breathe or take the initiative." The Bodhisattva gasped and said, "The young commander is not going to send people to attack in turn within these three hours!" Kou Zhong shook his head with a smile, looking confident, even though Tu Li and the others were all highly intelligent, they still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. Xu Ziling's heart trembled, Kou Zhong was no longer the Wuxia Amon who knew nothing about the art of war, but a commander who could strategize, win thousands of miles, and was good at using troops.Although he knew that one day he would become such a person, seeing and hearing it with his own eyes still stirred waves in his heart. Kou Zhong looked up at the majestic starry sky, and then turned his eyes to the brightly lit enemy camp that shines on more than a dozen hills, and the two-mile-wide Benlangyuan that separates the enemy from us. , Khan will react." Tu Li was startled and said, "Of course I will increase my vigilance and prepare for any sudden change." Then he let out a long breath and said, "I've begun to understand why Li Mi's scheming and mastery of the art of war still kills the army in your hands. This is indeed the cheapest and most troublesome way to confuse the enemy." Turning to the association rate, he ordered: "You return to the camp immediately to arrange everything, and act according to the young commander's plan." The association rate agreed and went back to the camp. Kou Zhongdao: "Our attack today will be divided into three steps. First, we will advance in a dispersed manner, pretending to be a full-scale attack, so that the enemy has to defend the camps on the hills. The army put on a false posture of encircling and encircling, threatening the camps on the left and right sides of the opponent, so that they could not separate themselves to help the central army. Then they rushed to the middle, and pointed directly at the heart of the Golden Wolf army with the momentum of thunder and lightning. Tell the thief to capture the king first, as long as the heart of the Golden Wolf Army is destroyed, no matter how powerful his limbs are, he will collapse immediately." Looking towards Xu Ziling, he said, "Young Master Ling, do you have any good suggestions?" Xu Ziling smiled and said, "I need to find a spear so that I can accompany you in the charge." Tu Li said excitedly, "Let us brothers charge forward side by side and cut off Xieli's head from his neck." Ba Fenghan frowned and said: "It's better for Khan to stay behind and take charge of the overall situation. If Khan is injured in any way, we can send his heart up to the enemy to take out." The Bodhisattva also said, "Khan doesn't need to risk himself." Tu Li shook his head and smiled, "Only if I take the lead and take the risk myself, can I order the general to use his life. This psychology is very subtle. If I stand on the spot, the soldiers will try their best to get rewards. That's why when we fight the Han army , the main reason for the higher morale." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling understood that this is the difference between the fighters who led divisions in Zhongtu and outside the Great Wall. The emperors of the past dynasties of the Han people, although there were so-called imperial conquests, they were all in name, unlike the leaders of the grassland kingdoms, such as Jieli Tuli, who were both proficient in tactics and experienced commanders, and worthy of the name. The advantage of going to the front line to command operations in person is that when the supreme leader or the commander-in-chief is on the front line, you only have to be responsible to yourself for all scheduling, and you don't need to ask for instructions layer by layer, which will delay the opportunity of the battle. In case of any sudden change, you can make decisive decisions quickly Make countermeasures, continuously learn from actual combat experience, and improve and innovate. For example, Emperor Yangdi's imperial conquest, he was just hiding in the rear and commanding the huge army through marshals and generals, he was like a fat man covered in fat and unable to move around, even though he was physically strong, he was as agile as a monkey It's no wonder that the foreigners don't suffer. Kou Zhong couldn't help saying happily: "Your decision and analysis have benefited me a lot!" Xu Ziling said: "Know the enemy and know the enemy. I want to act as a spy. I will explore the way first and see if Jieli can order his subordinates to set up more defensive measures such as mixing horse ropes and trapping horses." Tuli laughed and said, "Let's go back to the tent and rest! We Turkic people have always focused on offense and not defense. Try to buy time to rest in order to deal with the grassland battle that he thought would happen tomorrow." Kou Zhongdao: "It is beneficial and harmless to find out the route and the enemy's deployment. Khan and Brother Bodhisattva returned to the account first to explain our strategy to the chiefs so that they can prepare as soon as possible." Tu Li frowned and said, "Xie Li will release a falcon like me to monitor whether there are any foreign enemies sneaking in from a high altitude. If you touch it like this, you will scare the snake." Ba Fenghan said with a smile: "Don't worry! I dare not let the Falcon out casually, even if Tian Jieli dared to do so." Tuli and Bodhisattva didn't know why, so the three of them raised their heads down the hill, and under the cover of long grass and sparse forest in the grassland, they plundered towards the enemy's position. The fire in Tuli's camp was extinguished at the beginning of the watch, and this happened at the same time, which is already full of weird and mysterious flavors.Naturally, as Kou Zhong expected, a tense atmosphere immediately engulfed the entire Golden Wolf army. The sleeping people were ordered to get out of their tents and enter the state of battle, while the archers were waiting with their bows. Under the brilliant and charming starry sky, the three of them hid among the branches and leaves of a big tree, silently observing the enemy's mobilization not far from the enemy's position. Kou Zhong laughed: "How long do you think they will keep this situation?" Ba Fenghan said affirmatively: "That depends on whether Xieli dares to release the falcon." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "The Arrow God is ready." Ba Fenghan took off the Death Moon Bow from his back with his backhand, and said: "This arrow is related to our life, honor and death, and we must not miss it." Kou Zhong said: "If Jieli released a multi-headed falcon, which one should be shot?" Ba Fenghan shook his head and said: "This kind of psychic falcon that can be a spy is very rare, there is no one in a thousand. The falcon that was shot by us must have not recovered yet, he should only have one left." Xu Ziling said, "Come on!" A black dot rushed into the sky from above the sweat tent, and after a circle, they watched them fly straight. Kou Zhong smiled wryly as if sighing, "Damn it! You can fly so high!" The falcon was flying at a height of three hundred feet above the ground, and the combined range of the two divine bows could not touch even half of its feathers. The three of them watched it glide past above. Xu Ziling said: "Can Ying'er know how to distinguish the number of people?" Woke him up with a word, but the two secretly scolded themselves as fools. Ba Fenghan smiled wryly: "Young Master Ling is always the one with the clearest mind among us. We wanted to shoot him wholeheartedly, but we never thought that it would be a greater threat if he found the enemy's tracks." Kou Zhong suggested: "We will go back to the camp in three routes, if the eagle returns obediently one by one, it will be as if three troops are going to attack the camp!" Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan shouted for a good plan and put it into action. The stars are still illuminating the earth in the dark night sky, unaware that a fierce and cruel war is brewing under their eyes.
