Turbulent Times Chapter 1379: The Turkic army in a dilemma

However, Yanmen City, which was about to be breached, came once with the 20,000 people led by Wang Junlin, and the morale of the defenders in the city returned to its peak, even more desperately than before.

When Shibi Khan was worried, another soldier almost rolled in and ran in, loudly saying, "Report to Khan, the food and supplies of the three teams were attacked, and all the food and grass were burned!"

Sibi Khan jumped up, and Shibi Khan's younger brother Ashina Dubisi almost fell to the ground beside him. Their faces were ashen, and Ashina Dubisi said: "It's okay, There is still a lot of food and grass looted from the other five counties of Yanmen County before, and now our army outside Yanmen City is only a little more than half of the time when it came, enough to last until the next food delivery."

However, another personal soldier rushed in immediately: "Report to Khan. General Tuge, who guarded the logistics camp, personally led an army of 20,000 to hunt down the Sui army who robbed and burned food and grass on the road. As a result, the logistics camp The logistics camp was attacked by thieves, nearly half of the grain and grass were burned, and countless cattle and sheep were driven away."

Sibi Khan, who had just stood up, staggered and almost fell to the ground. At this moment, he wished to kill General Tuge, who was escorting the grain and grass and guarding the grain and grass of the logistics camp.

"Khan, what should we do now?" Ashina asked aggressively, gritted his teeth.

Shibi Khan thought for a while, and then said: "The Sui Dynasty had plenty of food and grass. As long as we capture Yanmen City, there will be food and grass in the city. Even if it is not enough, with the emperor of the Sui Dynasty in hand, we can force the Sui people Send food and grass, not to mention Liu Wuzhou, send someone over and ask him to bring food and grass."

"But the opportunity we missed right now is irreparable. We still follow the previous plan. While defending the Sui army's reinforcements from attacking the battalion, we will attack Yanmen City with all our strength and capture Yang Guang alive. As long as Xi Guang is captured, the entire Sui army The North Korean army will throw a rat weapon."

In the depths of the grassland, near a tribe on the east coast of the Turks, a few horses galloped towards them, disturbing the pheasants and hares that were foraging in the withered grass. .

There are very few trees on the grassland, and even if there are, they will not grow big. A two-foot-tall wild elm

The tree opened up a huge canopy, which is extremely eye-catching in the wilderness.

The leading knight reined in his horse, took a closer look at the tribes below the hillside, smiled coldly, and said to one of the knights: "A medium-sized tribe, about 10,000 tents, you take one person back to report and lead the way." /

The cavalryman promised to turn his horse's head and gallop away. The remaining three cavalrymen jumped off their horses and led their horses into the shade.

Two of them took off their armor, while the other stood in the shade of a tree on guard. Looking at their attire, they knew that they were three scouts.

They had only rested for a stick of incense when a black line slowly appeared on the grassland from a distant mountain depression.

The hillside is located in the south of the foothills, with plenty of sunlight, and there are half-protruded mountain depressions on the left and right. If it can block the cold wind in winter, and the thick camel and cow felt, it is enough for the herdsmen to resist the winter. severe cold.

In recent years of civil strife during the Great Sui Dynasty, the Turks in the north were the overlords. They have always been the only ones to rob the Han, Tubo and Khitan people. No one has ever dared to come to the mighty Turks to rob them. The relatively comfortable living environment made them less vigilant, and they didn't even send out any alert sentries.

So, it wasn't until the enemy came lixu away that they were startled by the thunderous sound of horseshoes.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... horse.

The horse has not put on the saddle yet, but the sound of the horn is getting more and more urgent. Obviously, the enemy situation is very urgent. Most of the tribal warriors don't bother to get on the saddle. With one shoulder, one leapt onto the horse's back. Quickly gather in the direction the enemy came from.

However, as soon as they gathered together, countless clusters of arrows were reflected in their pupils, getting closer and closer, until the entire pupils were completely covered by sharp arrows as dense as rain......

This Turkic tribe is called the Luye tribe. It is one of the top ten tribes in the eastern Turkic region. It has a family account of more than 8,000, a population of more than 30,000, more than 10,000 adult males, and more than 4,000 warriors. Only

There are only 2,000 warriors left in the clan, and the other 2,000 warriors followed Shibi Khan to the Sui Kingdom and have not returned yet.

After a fight, all the 2,000 or so cavalry gathered by the Lu Ye Department were killed.

The 20,000 iron cavalry quickly divided into two wings like flowing water, and surrounded the more than 8,000 tents. The leader of the Violent Bear camp, Li Xuanba, led a thousand horses towards the central army, where all the members of the Luye tribe were gathering there under the pressure of the four knights.

Women and children took the children's hands, obeyed the order silently, their expressions were full of hatred, then they knelt down to Li Xuanba under the leadership of several elders, kowtowed repeatedly, their foreheads slammed and blood flowed, begging bypass them.

However, Li Xuanba ignored them at all, and ordered: "All the men who can ride horses are killed, and then they search for food and grass, and burn their tents."

Half an hour later, except for the old, the weak, women and children, all the Luye tribesmen were killed, and their tents were all burned to ashes. And Li Xuanba had already left with his army, and after resting, he moved to the next tribe.

So far, including Lu Yebu, they have raided seven Turkic tribes, all of which have been completely victorious, but they have killed more than a thousand soldiers in total.

……

……

After Wang Junlin led the Whirlwind Battalion and tens of thousands of Luqin King's reinforcements to defeat two waves of 100,000 Turkic cavalry, he did not attack the Turkic camp immediately, because although they killed 70,000 to 80,000 Turkic cavalry in this battle , but there were also many casualties.

The Far Eastern Army's Tornado Battalion was the main force, with more than 2,000 casualties. The 140,000 reinforcements including Li Shimin and Wang Rengong suffered as many as 50,000 casualties.

Therefore, the strength of the enemy and our troops in Yanmen County is still very different. The Turks still have 220,000 cavalry, while the Qin Wangda led by Wang Junlin has only about 100,000 horses.

It's just that Wang Junlin is in control of the situation in Yanmen City at all times, so they are not in a hurry to lead people to rescue them. Gong came to persuade Wang Junlin to send troops to rescue Yanmen City as soon as possible, and save His Majesty the Emperor early, no one else dared to come to Wang Junlin to say anything.

There was a reason why Wang Junlin was not in a hurry to launch an attack.
