Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

At this moment, Li Yuan was sitting at the highest point of Emerald Pine Ridge, overlooking the entire terrain of Bottle Gourd Mouth.

Below was a rugged mountain road that ran from south to north, cutting through Emerald Pine Ridge in the chaotic mountains.

The so-called Bottle Gourd Mouth was located in the middle of this road, consisting of two connected small plain valleys.

Because the two valleys, one large and one small, were irregularly circular, they resembled a bottle gourd when viewed from the sky, hence the name Bottle Gourd Mouth.

The entire Bottle Gourd Mouth area was five li long and three li wide, not a small area.

If the Tiele army's surprise attack team wanted to attack the rear of the Great Liang army, then this road and this Bottle Gourd Mouth were their only routes.

What surprised Li Yuan was that he had asked Marquis Long Xiang about the battle records between the Liang people and the Tiele people in recent decades.

The Tiele people had attacked here many times, but the Liang army had never used the Bottle Gourd Mouth, such a good ambush terrain.

This could not help but make Li Yuan sigh.

He really did not expect that the military strategy of this Great Liang had fallen behind to such an extent.

Since this is the case, then let me change all of this.

Let the Tiele people see how terrifying my military wisdom, honed for thousands of years in my previous life, truly is.

The next day, the Liang army's scout cavalry did not find the Tiele surprise attack team within a radius of several dozen li.

And Li Yuan's rear army had gained another day to set up ambush traps.

By the early morning of the third day, the so-called Tiele surprise attack team still had not appeared.

According to Li Yuan's time calculation, they were at least a full day late.

Li Yuan stood on the top of the mountain, letting the mountain wind blow his robes.

Although his expression was still calm, he had some doubts in his heart.

Could it be that I misjudged, and the Tiele people did not send out a surprise attack team at all?

At this time, General Han Mingdao of Dingzhou and General Chen Lian of Weizhou also led a group of their subordinate commanders and garrison officers to the top of the mountain.

Chen Lian opened his mouth and asked.

"Colonel Li, it's been a day, and the Tiele army hasn't appeared yet?"

"Is there any change?"

Li Yuan looked into the distance and explained.

"The Tiele people need to detour thousands of miles to get behind us, anything can happen."

"It's not uncommon to be a few days late."

Chen Lian also nodded slightly, without commenting.

However, some of the commanders and garrison officers behind Chen Lian whispered, looking at Li Yuan's back.

"Hmph, I think he's just making something out of nothing."

"What surprise attack team, it's just his imagination."

"Yeah, I think so too, if the Tiele people don't come, I'll see how he ends up."

"That's right, look at how young he is, why should he be a colonel commanding us."

These commanders and garrison officers were very jealous of Li Yuan now.

Because the positions Li Yuan had obtained for his achievements were all they dreamed of.

Li Yuan did not care about the criticism from those guys behind him.

Instead, he pointed to the morning mist in the west and said.

"Generals, the Tiele people's surprise attack team is here."

The two state generals looked in that direction, only seeing the misty morning fog, but not seeing any soldiers or horses.

Both of them were puzzled, not knowing what this Colonel Li was doing.

But at this moment, in Li Yuan's vision, a patch of moving red light came from the west.

Seeing this horse, everyone's eyes widened.

Because there was no one on the horse's back, but the horse's body was covered with several Tiele people's commonly used black-shafted feather arrows, and the warhorse's fresh blood kept pouring out of the wounds.

The warhorse was in constant pain because of its serious injuries.

Finally, because of exhaustion, it fell headfirst into the grass on the mountain path, making its last mournful cry.

"The whole army prepares for battle!"

Without Li Yuan speaking, the two state generals behind him had already drawn their sabers and issued orders.

The commanders, garrison officers, and all levels of captains ran madly to their responsible positions.

Loudly calling for the soldiers to take their places.

Instantly, countless soldiers holding knives and spears ran through the forest, and the entire forest and hillside became solemn.

After a few more moments, the mountains and forests gradually returned to calm.

At this time, as if agreed upon, the Tiele army in the Chishui River camp almost came out in full force, with 20,000 Tiele troops heading straight for the south bank of the Chishui River.

This time, Commander Sangdu had pressed all the chips in his hand.

He vowed to wipe out this Liang army to avenge the loss of his elite troops.

In order to achieve the goal of annihilating the Liang army, he even defied the Tiele Khan's military orders, spending a full eight days waiting for the surprise attack team to detour behind the Liang army.

This morning, he finally received a message from the surprise attack team via carrier pigeon, that they had arrived at the rear of the Liang army, ready to launch an attack on the Liang army from the rear.

Sangdu immediately mobilized all 20,000 troops in the camp and began to wade across the river to launch a strong attack on the Liang army's ridge defense line.

For a time, armor and scimitars flashed with cold light on the Chishui River.

Countless Tiele soldiers stepped into the icy river and began to wade across.

And the Tiele people who stepped onto the south bank immediately divided into small teams and frantically attacked the mountain passes everywhere.

Marquis Long Xiang stood on the mountain's enemy platform, overlooking the entire river beach. Although she was prepared, the enemy's madness still made her frown.

The hundreds of wheeled carts left by Li Yuan were pushed down one after another, but the Tiele people were prepared.

Using cheap herdsmen to consume the wheeled carts in front, while the elite dismounted cavalry and archers followed behind.

The hillside was already covered with a layer of black corpses, but the Tiele people still roared and attacked despite the casualties.

Finally, after paying huge casualties, the Tiele army broke into the wooden fence, and the soldiers of Huaizhou and Qingzhou fought with the Tiele people.

On the Chaotic Stone Mountain, shouts of killing resounded throughout the world.

The female marquis turned her head and glanced at the direction of Bottle Gourd Mouth behind her.

It was still quiet there.

When the Tiele people's surprise attack team rushed into the mountain road of Emerald Pine Ridge.

There was no longer a single soldier to be seen here.

Only the birdsong in the forest and the sound of cavalry stepping over the mountain road like rolling thunder.

The Tiele people's surprise attack team was actually more than Li Yuan had expected.

There were a total of seven thousand-man teams, totaling more than six thousand eight hundred cavalry.

The leader was Tiele Wanhuzhang Abu.

This person was extremely cunning and cruel.

Their departure time was about the same as Li Yuan had expected.

It was just that when they broke through the Hulin ferry and detoured into the Great Liang territory, the guide who led the way died unexpectedly.

This delayed them by a day.

The order Abu received was to do everything possible to detour to the rear of the Liang army at Chishui River as quickly as possible.

And cut off any possibility of leaking news.

Therefore, all Liang people, villages, or merchants encountered by the surprise attack team along the way were killed and silenced.

Regardless of women, children, old people, merchants, or civilians, as long as they were seen, they were all killed.

They traveled through the Great Liang territory for four days, leaving behind nearly a thousand Liang people's corpses along the way.

This morning, the Tiele people's surprise attack team finally arrived at Emerald Pine Ridge, the entrance to Chaotic Stone Mountain.

As long as they crossed this mountain road of dozens of miles, the Liang army's rear camp would be in front of them.

Abu ordered people to release carrier pigeons for communication.

Informing Commander Sangdu, who was guarding the camp.

That his surprise attack team had arrived at the rear of the Liang army, ready to launch an attack on the Liang army from the rear.

It was just that a small episode occurred in the middle, the vanguard cavalry of the surprise attack team discovered a Liang army cavalry scout.

Before the scout could react, dozens of black-shafted feather arrows shot him into a hedgehog.

After confirming that only the horse had escaped, Abu drew his scimitar and pointed in the direction of the Chishui River.

Nearly seven thousand Tiele cavalry rushed into the Emerald Pine Ridge mountain road.

As long as they crossed this section of mountain road of dozens of miles, the Liang army's rear camp would be ahead.

Abu believed that what awaited them must be the Liang army's unbelievable expression and a total collapse of fear.

Before long, all six thousand eight hundred cavalry entered the mountain.

Looking from the sky, it was like a black python rapidly winding forward on the mountain road.

Although everything went very smoothly, but for some reason.

Wanhuzhang Abu always felt palpitations.
