Ten miles away from the Gourd Cave, Yuchi Jingde was leading the Dingyang Army to camp in a small forest.
The Turks were stationed at the edge of the forest, near the stream. The way they set up camp was also different from that of the Central Plainsmen. They didn't build their tents on the spot, but instead connected the horses 'heads and tails together and surrounded them, with people sleeping in the middle of the horses.
"Ninth Brother, look!"
As they galloped, Yin Shisan and Xie Yingdeng arrived near the Gourd Valley. They climbed a mountain peak and looked down at the Dingyang Army and Turkic Army camps.
"En, Yuchi Gong's Dingyang Army seems to only have six thousand left. Adding on the five thousand Turkic soldiers, there are eleven thousand in the forest.”Xie Yingdeng muttered.
Yin Shisan nodded and smiled at Xie Yingdeng.""Ninth brother, have you discovered the flaw of Yuchi Gong setting up camp?”
Xie Yingdeng pondered for a moment." It's inevitable to set up camp in the forest.”
"Yes, sir!" Yin Shisan smiled and said," During the Three Kingdoms period, during the Battle of Yiling between Shu Han and Dong Wu, Lu Xun set fire to Lian Ying because Liu Bei had stationed his army in the dense forest. Yuchi Gong committed Liu Bei's mistake.”
"It can be seen that Yuchi Gong is a general but not a marshal.”
Yin Shisan shook his head." He's not even a general. He's just a wild beast at best. He can charge into the enemy's formation, but asking him to lead an army is no different from asking for trouble.”
With that, Yin Shisan swept his gaze across the Turkic camp and said to Xie Yingdeng,""On the other hand, the Turks are stationed at the edge of the forest and near the river. They won't be affected in the slightest whether we use fire or arrange for people to ambush them in the dark.”
"We can escape or fight!" Xie Yingdeng said.
"Yes, I am." " I'm afraid Yuchi Gong has fallen into the Turks 'trap," Yin Shisan said rather helplessly." It's most likely the Turks themselves who suggested that we camp in the outer perimeter and told Yuchi Gong that the Dingyang Army had suffered heavy losses and should rest in the forest to prepare for the upcoming battle. We'll leave the night protection to the Turks.”
"But the Turkic army actually had other plans, but Yuchi Gong couldn't see them.”Xie Yingdeng was worried about Yuchi Jingde's IQ. He now believed what Yin Shisan had just said. Yuchi Jingde wasn't even a commander, he was at most a beast charging into battle.
"According to the current situation, after the Tu Jue army returns to the Mo Bei, the Jie Li will definitely send troops to the Central Plains. Because in his opinion, the battle generals of the Central Plains were all like Yuchi Gong, brainless!”
Xie Yingdeng couldn't help but smile. Liu Wuzhou actually trusted a boorish person like Yuchi Jingde, which really showed that he had no one in Dingyang.
"But Brother 47, what did you say about the big fish just now?”
"It's Jie Li Khan!" Yin Shisan's face turned cold as he said in a deep voice,""That fellow is in the Turkic army."
" What?!"
Xie Yingdeng's expression changed even more. This was a piece of heavy news. Jie Li Khan, the ruler of the Turkic Empire, had actually come to the Central Plains personally just to investigate the situation?
Yin Shisan looked at Xie Yingdeng's shocked face and said to him,""If ninth brother doesn't believe me, why don't you try shooting a whistling arrow at the Turkic army?”
The best archer among Jia Jialou's 46 friends was the eighth brother, Wang Bodang. He had never missed a single arrow. He had once killed Wei Wentong, the ninth hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He was very powerful.
Xie Yingdeng had learned archery from Wang Bodang in his early years. Although he couldn't shoot in a row, his single-shot skills were extraordinary. People gave him the nickname of Divine Shooter General.
"Brother 47, aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?”
Xie Yingdeng said this, but he had already taken out his bow from the side of the saddle. His bow was called the Hou Yi Divine Bow, and without the strength of a hundred picul, it was impossible to pull it open. His arrows were also specially made. In order to deal with different situations, he forged different arrowheads.
"To alert the enemy and see where Jie Li Khan is!”
Yin Shisan guessed that once someone attacked the Tu Jue army, the Tu Jue soldiers would subconsciously move closer to Jie Li and protect him at all costs.
"Good!"
Xie Yingdeng already understood Yin Shisan's intentions. He didn't hesitate any longer. He placed the bow in his left hand and pulled the bowstring with his right hand. The arrow was already on the bowstring, aiming at the center of the Turkic army.
Bang!
Yin Shisan heard the sound of an arrow piercing through the air, and in a flash of silver light, an arrow shot through the air toward the center of the Turkic army.
Yo ~
A whistling sound came from the sky, as if a bird had fallen to the ground and entered the Turkic army.
At this moment, the vigilance of the Turks was completely displayed. They had already rested, but the whistling arrows had caused them to leap up from the ground and draw their sabers, surrounding the group of five.
"In a corner near the river!”
As the Turks formed their encirclement, they subconsciously drew closer to the river. But soon, someone shouted a few words in Turkic, which Yin Shisan could not understand. But as soon as he finished speaking, the slowly moving Turkic soldiers came to a halt.
Yin Shisan guessed that someone had seen through his plan and shouted " Don't expose the Khan ". And the person who saw through this plan was most likely Jie Li himself. However, he was definitely not the one who shouted. He was not stupid enough to expose himself with his voice.
But even so, when the Turkic army began to slowly approach Jie Li, Yin Shisan still aimed at a muscular figure.
It was a middle-aged man who was wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier, but he clearly did not look like one. Although Yin Shisan could not see his face clearly in the dark, he gave off an extraordinary feeling just by standing there.
Yin Shisan instantly concluded that he was Jie Li!
"Found it?" Xie Yingdeng wanted to touch the arrow again, thinking if he should kill Jie Li here.
However, Yin Shisan stopped him." Ninth Brother, leave Jie Li here. Let's go!"”
The two of them rode towards Jie Xiu and went around the Gourd Valley from the small path on the mountain. Soon, they arrived outside the valley.
The entrance of the valley was already guarded by the Tang army. You Junda was in charge of patrolling tonight. When he heard that Yin Shisan and Xie Yingdeng had returned, he hurriedly welcomed them and entered the valley with them.
"47th brother, Second Brother Qin and the others have arrived.”On the way, You Junda said to Yin Shisan.
"Good, it's time to use them.”
At this time, the camp of the Xiang Dynasty had already been requisitioned by the Tang army. Yin Shisan met Qin Qiong and the others here.
"Brothers, along the way, not only did ninth brother and I see Yuchi Gongzha's camp, we also found Jie Li hiding in the Turkic army.”
"The Turkic army?" Qin Qiong was stunned.
Because Yuchi Jingde had never crossed the Gourd Valley, the Turkic army was not exposed to the Tang army.
"Yes, sir!" " Liu Wuzhou borrowed five thousand Turkic soldiers," Yin Shisan said." But he doesn't know that the Jie Li Khan is using this opportunity to go south. He wants to first investigate the situation in the Central Plains before determining if he will invade the south!”
