Eyang Ridge. Dingxiang City was just a bit further north.
There were many trees in the forest, and it was suitable for soldiers to hide.
Li Jing led the soldiers to hide in the forest before sunset. They hid there and waited patiently for night to fall.
"Great General, the scouts have reported that everything in Dingxiang City is normal.”
"Great General, the Turkic night patrols are divided into four teams, and they change shifts every hour!”
The scouts kept sending back news, scouting out the situation outside Dingxiang City and preparing for a surprise attack.
"When the shift changes, we'll eliminate the four Turkic patrols and attack the city!”
Li Jing immediately gave the order. He looked at Zhao Hu and shouted,
"Zhao Hu, lead four teams into the forest. You must silently annihilate the four Turkic patrols before the time is up!”
The patrol team would only change shifts every hour, and if they were removed, the Turks would have a hard time detecting them.
And an hour was enough for Li Jing to lead the army to suppress Dingxiang City!
"Yes!"
Zhao Hu respectfully acknowledged, then turned around and called out four teams from his own camp to hide in the path of the Turkic patrols.
……
Early in the morning was the coldest time of the day. The cold wind blew, and it was also the easiest time to get sleepy.
"Wuhe, don't sleep anymore. Get up, it's time to change shifts and quickly go patrol!”
The Turks who had just finished their patrol returned to Dingxiang City and woke up the resting Turkic general, Wu He.
"What? It was the patrol's turn again. Why was it so fast?”
Wu He started to feel drowsy and yawned.
"Speaking of which, this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Why do we need to patrol so closely? This damn weather…"
"Shut up! This is Chief Kerr's order. You can't bear the blame!”
The nearby Turkic general kicked Wuhe, who reluctantly got up and led his subordinates out to patrol.
As soon as they walked out of the city, a cold wind blew over, causing Wu He and the others to wake up quite a bit.
"According to the old rules, split into four groups to patrol the surroundings and report back in an hour!”
Wu He commanded his subordinates to split into four teams and spread out to patrol around the city. There were also sentry towers above looking into the distance.
Clearly, the defense was still tight.
Ordinary people would be easily discovered if they got close.
"Speaking of which, Chief Ke Er has been very cautious recently and has been patrolling more frequently. Is he guarding against the invasion of the Tang army?”
"Tang Army? Those two-legged sheep dared to invade the northern border. What a joke. They wouldn't dare to do so even if they were given ten guts!”
Wu He led a dozen cavalrymen and walked along the mountain roads around the city, looking very disdainful.
"Then who is Chief Kerr guarding against? Did he need to be so careful? But we have to come out in the middle of the night.”
The nearby Turkic asked in confusion, but Wu He shook his head and didn't reply.
Most people did not know that a big shot had recently arrived in the city. Even Chief Kerr had to listen to him.
Perhaps the reason why the city was heavily patrolled was because of that person?
As for who to guard against?
Wu He thought of the scattered Eastern Turks and shook his head, thinking that this was just an internal conflict.
If the Eastern Turks didn't fight amongst themselves, they wouldn't have had to hide in the grasslands and would have long ago sent their troops south to plunder the Great Tang!
"All of you, look carefully. You can't miss any clues!”
Wu He saw that the patrol team was lazy and could not help but scold.
"Don't worry, there won't be any movement in the middle of the night. Even if there are, it's just those small wild beasts!”
"Yes, it's even better if you have talent. You can catch him and roast him to fill your hunger. During this period of time, he has starved to death!”
The Turks all laughed loudly, clearly extremely relaxed, not sensing the danger lurking around them.
In late autumn, the northern borders were already cold, and even the mountains and trees were covered in a layer of frost.
If an ordinary person was here, they might have been frozen to the point where they could not move.
In the woods, Zhao Hu led Li Yu and more than a hundred soldiers to ambush the patrol team.
It was supposed to be bone-chilling cold, but the sweat on Li Yu's forehead slowly slid down. The hand holding the spear was sweating.
This was his first time participating in a battlefield!
He was here!
Laughter came from the front, and the new patrol team appeared in front of everyone. Zhao Hu immediately held his saber hilt and held his breath.
All the soldiers pressed down on their weapons at the same time.
"Creak…"
The Turkic warhorses stomped on the dried branches, making a crisp sound as they made their way to the ambush.
"Hmm? Stop!"
Wu He suddenly spoke, stopping the dozen or so Turkic soldiers behind him as he turned his gaze over.
After so many years in the military, he had already developed an instinctive sense of vigilance when he encountered a crisis!
When he walked into this path just now, he actually felt a trace of uneasiness?
"Captain Wu He, did you find anything?”
a Turkic soldier said. Wu He shook his head and pointed to a path to the side.
"Go that way. I'll take a look at the back.”
"Ah?"
The Turkic soldiers didn't understand, but they still followed, with Wu He vigilantly looking around.
" Quite vigilant…"
Zhao Hu thought when he saw this scene.
Wu He suddenly had his men turn around. Clearly, he was on guard and was prepared to run away at any time.
If he ran away, it would be troublesome!
"Phew!"
Li Yu placed his hand on Zhao Hu's shoulder. The latter turned around and nodded.
He couldn't wait any longer!
"Kill them."
" Die!" Zhao Hu roared. All the soldiers in ambush drew their sabers and charged out. They clashed head-on, not giving them a chance to escape!
After all, they could easily crush them with their numbers!
"Enemy attack!"
Wu He immediately reacted. There were actually over a hundred people!
Heavens?
The Tang Army!
The first few Turkic soldiers fell from their horses as their warhorses neighed and screamed.
"Retreat!"
Wu He didn't even think about it, he turned his horse around and wanted to run away. Fortunately, he noticed that something was wrong.
There should still be a chance to escape now!
"Phew!"
However, what came into view was a long spear with a cold glint. A man was running over with a spear!
"You're courting death!"
Wu He roared angrily and drew his saber, wanting to slash the spear away.
Who would have thought that with a clang, the saber would actually be forcefully sent flying. The terrifying force shook his hand until it went numb, and he grunted.
"Damned two-legged goat, you…"
Before Wu He could react, the spear in front of him had already closed in and pierced through his forehead!
Puff!
