Chapter 57: Lurking on

In the city of Pinggao County, Sha Boluo was already so angry that he jumped up. The scattered Turkic army had all merged into Pinggao County. Each of their teams captured one or two cities and robbed them. However, due to the tenacious resistance of the soldiers in various prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were more or less losses. In addition, the Turks who died in Pinggao County, the 80,000 Turkic army had dropped to less than 70,000.

The 70,000 people must leave at least 10,000 people to guard Pinggao County in case the rear road is cut off by the Zhou army. This place can also be used as a storage place for them to grab wealth. If there are only 60,000 people, they will run to Chang'an City, and their strength is a bit weak. Sha Boluo urgently hopes that Ye Hu Chuluoji's 20,000 troops who attacked Pule County can meet with him, but Chuluoji has been unable to take Pule County for a long time and let him wait and wait.

When it was confirmed again that Chu Luoqi had not yet taken Pule County, Sha Boluo couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, Chu Luoqi, I gave him 20,000 people. It's been half a month, and I can't even take a small Pule County. If this battle is delayed, I must suggest to the Khan to withdraw his Ye Hu." If Sha Boluo knew that Chu Luoqi had only 15,000 people left, he would be even more angry.

The officials of the Turks were divided into 28 levels, and the Khan was the most respected. Under them were the small Khan, Ye Hu, Shi, Shi Lifa, Shi Jin, Tutun, and Fa. Ye Hu's status was only a little lower than Sha Bo. Although Sha Boluo was a small Khan, he had no right to deal with Luo Qi, otherwise Sha Boluo would probably directly send someone to replace Luo Qi's military power.

A nobleman suggested: "Shabo is a little sweaty, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are as timid as mice. It is better not to wait for Luo Shuyehu, and the 60,000 troops will directly fight to the city of Chang'an."

The other Turkic generals also shouted: "Little Khan, please give me the order. Not to mention 60,000, even 30,000 people can scare the people of the Great Zhou to death."

Sha Bo pondered quietly. This time, he swept the border of the Great Surrounding Area. Although some cities surrendered without fighting, there were more cities that resisted, especially in this city. The people who attacked the city died in a sea of ​​blood and took them down, but they were also fled by the guards. Although the Great Zhou seemed weak and could be bullied, he agreed to his own conditions, but if he really wanted to go to the city of Chang'an, if the Great Zhou did not surrender and chose to fight, one more person would be more sure, let alone an army of 20,000.

An Suiga had returned from Chang'an and heard this and said to the side: "Little Khan, Chang'an has nearly one million people and nearly one hundred thousand soldiers. There are still many good ministers and generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If they are surrounded, the entire army will fall into danger. Anyway, Xiao Khan's goal has been achieved, so why not wait here for the Zhou people to send the tribute."

He had been to Chang'an. Although he was not polite to the emperor and ministers of the Great Zhou in the court, he was actually shocked by the strength of the Great Zhou in his heart. Instead, he was the one who least wanted to take risks. Since the Great Zhou had already surrendered, why should he force him too quickly?

Sha Bo nodded a little: "An Suiga is familiar with the Zhou people. Since he said so, wait a little longer."

Sha Boluo usually seems reckless, but he is a smart person. As long as he returns to the grassland with the items tributed by the Zhou people, his bargaining chips for the position of Khan will greatly increase. He will kill to the city of Chang'an. Although it is possible to extort more money and make him famous, it is unlikely that he will break through Chang'an, which will not be very helpful for helping him ascend to the position of Khan. If the Zhou people rebound and their subordinates suffer too many casualties, it will be more cost-effective.

Although many Turkic generals felt that Sha Bo was a little too cautious, no one dared to violate his orders: "Respect the Order."

If Yang Tian and the Xuanlong Army knew what happened in Pinggao County, they would breathe a sigh of relief at this time. The Turks had already given up on their plans to kill the city of Chang'an. It can be said that they could complete the mission without fighting with the Turks.

But if it is if, the Xuanlong Army would not know what happened in Pinggao County, and there was also a city of Great Zhou desperately resisting the Turks' attack hundreds of miles behind the Turks.

At this moment, the Xuanlong Army had set up camps more than ten miles away from Liupan Mountain. The water surface here is wide and the water is stable. The depth of the water just over half of the horse's belly is an ideal place to cross the river. Another small mountain bag blocks the view from the opposite side. The Xuanlong Army's camp is hidden behind the mountain bag. As long as the Turks are out of the river, they will basically not find it.

This is convenient for the Xuanlong Army to send small troops to cross the river to reconnaissance, and there is no need to worry about being attacked on a large scale when discovered by the Turks. After all, the water surface is too wide and it is not easy to cross the river. Once discovered by the Turkic brigade, there is a river separated by the river. When the Turkic people cross the river, the Xuanlong Army has time to evacuate safely.

Bai Fangquan's body was lying tightly in a shallow pit, covered with thick grass on his head. His subordinates were lying on the left and right sides, forming a trap for the Death Triangle Group. Further away, there were twenty such death trap groups. Yang Tian dispatched 60% of his personal soldiers to cross the river, with the purpose of arresting several Turkic scouts and inquiring information.

The power of the Xuanlong Army was very weak in front of the Turks, and there was no way to start without sufficient information. This kind of lurking was personally trained by Yang Tian after they were selected into the personal barracks. After countless lurking and anti-lurking exercises, it is time to test their results.

The sound of horse hooves of "dede" came. After more than an hour of patient waiting, the Turks finally broke into the area where they were ambushed. Although it is more than 20 miles away from Pinggao County, the 70,000 Turkish troops could not be squeezed into the city. Even if the people can, their war horses must be grazed outside. The south of Pinggao County and the Jing River are dozens of miles away, which is an ideal grazing place with abundant water and grass.

After all, this grassland is not very safe. Turkic scouts often patrol ten miles away from the grazing site. However, they did not even see a shadow of a Zhou person for more than ten consecutive days. The scouts had already regarded this kind of patrol as a tour. The two Turkics were just talking and laughing at each other immediately. It was nothing more than how much property they robbed and what kind of surprise would their wife have after they returned.

Hearing the sound of horse stance and the laughter of the Turks, Bai Fangquan's body tensed up. Thank God, these two fools were heading towards him. He silently calculated the distance between the Turks and aimed the crossbow arrows that had been put on the string in front, ten steps, nine steps, eight steps...
