Turbulent Times Chapter 1366: The power of the Far East Army
Two days later, Wang Junlin led 20,000 cavalry to Fenyang County, the northernmost part of Taiyuan.
The closer they got to Yanmen County, the more and more panic appeared on the faces of the people. Many people and noble landlords even fled to Taiyuan City with large and small bags.
The city of Fenyang County, which is close to Dayan County, has already been destroyed. When Wang Junlin led 20,000 troops from the Whirlwind Battalion to set off smoke and dust on the official road, the county magistrate of Fenyang was frightened and quickly ordered people to close all the city gates. On the wall, ready to defend the city.
It's just that when Wang Junlin's army passed by outside the county seat and saw clearly the big banner with the three characters "Qin An Wang" written on it, the county magistrate of Fenyang County was frightened half to death.
The county magistrate reacted very quickly. When Wang Junlin ordered to rest outside the city, the county magistrate opened the city gate, brought some drinks, food and grass, and came to meet Wang Junlin. When he met him, he knelt down in panic. plead guilty.
"Humble... I don't know if it's the prince's army coming. I saw all the cavalry from a distance. The dust was everywhere, and I couldn't see clearly. I was worried that it was the Turkic cavalry, so I ordered the city gate to be closed. Please forgive me Sin." Fenyang county magistrate was obviously afraid of death, and when he realized that he had unintentionally offended the most unofficial person in the world, his face was covered with sweat, his face turned pale, and he stammered his apology.
"You're not wrong, it's right to be cautious, keep things back!" Wang Junlin said lightly.
"Thank you, my lord, thank you my lord, I will leave for my humble position." The county magistrate respectfully knelt down and bowed to Wang Junlin as if he was being pardoned, and then wiped his sweat and led the people back to the city in a hurry, but he did not dare to close the door. City gate, worried about causing Wang Junlin's displeasure.
It wasn't until Wang Junlin led the army to rest for an hour, had lunch, and led the army to set off for Yanmen County. The king only brought 20,000 people, but as soon as King Qin An comes, it will not be so easy for the Turkic people to kill His Majesty the Emperor and then lead the army south."

When Wang Junlin led the army to the vicinity of Yanmen County, he encountered the banner of Wang Rengong, the general of Zhenbeiying.
The army led by Wang Rengong stretched for seven or eight miles. It seemed that there were a lot of people, and the dust was flying around. It gave the impression that the cavalry accounted for a large proportion. Like an angry dragon, it rushed towards Yanmen County with its teeth and claws.
Furthermore, Wang Junlin discovered that apart from Wang Rengong's banner, there were forty or fifty different battle flags from different armies in this army.
The sound of horns and drums, one after another, mixed with the neighing of war horses, the shouts of soldiers, and the turbulent waves around them.
At first glance, this army was no less than 200,000 troops. The infantry on the periphery of the team held their long spears high, and the sharp fronts of the spears reflected the dazzling cold light.
In addition to the infantry, there are countless orderlies running back and forth, and everyone's face is full of excitement about the battle. Further outside, there are rangers on guard. Everyone's legs are tall and strong horses from the Western Regions, and their fur is groomed to be smooth.
But after Wang Junlin was surprised, he took a closer look and sneered, and said: "It seems that Wang Rengong is indeed old, and he actually used this bluffing hand
Duan, to scare the Turkic people, I don't know whether they want to scare the Turkic people away, or they want to scare the Turkic people from coming to beat them. "
Luo Shixin, who was next to him, also quickly noticed the clues. The rangers around this army ran very vigorously, but they never refused to stray too far from the brigade. Even when Wang Junlin led the army approaching, they refused to step forward to ask the identity of the comer.
"This kind of bluff can scare the Turkic people!" Luo Shixin also sneered.
Shen Guoer took a look with the binoculars and said, "My lord, the team is hollow. If we didn't have binoculars, we wouldn't be able to find them if we didn't get closer!"
The military appearance of the Far Eastern Army was obviously different from other armies, and Wang Junlin's banner was also very eye-catching. No one in the world dared to ignore it. Soon a small team came out of this large army to meet them.
Wang Junlin didn't bother to pay attention, and first asked Shen Guoer next to him: "Is everything ready in Cangmen County?"
Shen Guoer immediately said: "All are ready, the 200 spies from the Military Intelligence Office have already entered the county seat before the Turks attacked Cangmen County, and they are fully prepared."
Wang Junlin nodded, glanced at Wang Rengong and Qin Wang's army, and said: "Send an order to Wang Rengong and other reinforcements to lead the army to Cangmen County immediately. After an hour, I will Convene the chief general of the army to hold a military meeting in Cangmen County."
Shen Guoer agreed, and sent someone to meet him, while Wang Junlin led the army to Cangmen County.
…
…
This army is not only the 70,000 horses from the Beida Camp in Wang Rengong Town, but also the 30,000 soldiers from Taiyuan County led by Li Shimin, the 5,000 cavalry led by Yao Junsu, the general of Yingjilang, and the 5,000 cavalry led by General Zuo Yiwei, Yin Shishi. 20,000 government soldiers, 20,000 county soldiers led by the prefect of Pingliang County.
After these people arrived, no one had the guts to go to Yanmen City to fight the Turkic people. Not to mention, Wang Rengong's words were not listened to by others. After all, there was no affiliation relationship, and His Majesty the Emperor and the court did not have any order to say who was the commander in chief. .
And in this case, these people were afraid that the Turks would call suddenly, and after the final discussion, they used this bluff to scare the Turks.
And when Wang Rengong and others received Wang Junlin's strong order, no one dared to express their opinions, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, no matter in terms of official position, title, or prestige, Wang Junlin is the most suitable commander. The most important thing is that none of them dare to be the commander because the risk is too great.

Cangmen County was captured by 20,000 Turkic cavalry three days ago, but not many people were killed in the city, because the Turkic Shibi Khan specially issued an order not to massacre the people of the Sui Dynasty. It was they who wanted to occupy the territory of the Sui Dynasty for a long time this time, and killed the people of the Sui Dynasty. Whoever farmed the land for them would serve as slaves for them.
It's just that women as young as eight or nine years old and as old as forty were raped by Turkic people. In the process, hundreds of women committed suicide and were killed by Turkic people.
Wang Junlin led the cavalry and charged directly towards the city of Cangmen County. The Turkic cavalry in the city naturally discovered it, but they just saw that the 20,000 cavalry of the Far Eastern Army did not attack
Cheng Qi rushed over like this, and the Turkic people suddenly laughed, thinking that the Sui general who led the team must be an idiot.
However, when Wang Junlin led the army three hundred steps away from Cangmen County, suddenly a series of huge explosions came from the entire Cangmen County.
First, the city gate that the Far East Army rushed to suddenly exploded, and the city gate was blown into pieces. Hundreds of Turkic cavalry inside the city gate were directly killed.
Almost at the same time, twenty other places in the city also exploded, including where the Turkic military camps were located, where the Turkic military generals were located, and where the Turkic grain and grass were located. Many people didn't say anything, and suddenly the Turkic people were blown away.
Although the Turkic people have heard that King Qin An of the Sui Dynasty used a magical weapon when he attacked Goguryeo, the Turkic people did not take it seriously when the news was passed around these years. The victim, suddenly let the Turks into a panic.
The reason for this is not that the Turkic people are afraid of death. In fact, even if Wang Junlin kills half of them on the battlefield, the remaining half will continue to work hard. It reminds all Turkic people of gods and ghosts, or the magical means of Changshengtian.
Usually, the degree of human civilization is inversely proportional to ignorance and superstition. The more backward a nation is, the more ignorant and superstitious it is, so the Turkic people are more superstitious than the Han people. Even after the explosion, some Turkic people directly Facing the sky, he knelt down and begged Changshengtian to forgive him loudly.
In this situation, Wang Junlin led the 20,000 Whirlwind Battalion into Cangmen County, and began to kill the 20,000 Turkic people who were already in a mess.
Twenty loud noises not only caused the Turkic people to panic, but also caused their horses to panic and run around in the city. Without the horses, the Turkic cavalry lost more than half of their combat power, not to mention that they had no organization at this time. , in a mess.
If in the wild, 20,000 Whirlwind Battalion cavalry confronted 20,000 Turkic cavalry, even if the latter could be defeated, there would be many casualties.
After nearly half of the 20,000 Turkic people were killed, some Turkic leaders began to shout and organize troops to fight back, but it was too late. After realizing that they were not the opponents of the Far Eastern Army at all, they began to flee from several other city gates.
As a result, as soon as he escaped, he met Wang Rengong, Li Shimin and other reinforcements from all walks of life.
Li Shimin reacted the fastest, leading 5,000 cavalry out of the 30,000 Taiyuan County soldiers to pursue and kill them.
This battle was over within an hour.
Of the 20,000 Turkic cavalry in Cangmen County, only a few hundred fled back to the Turkic camp outside Yanmen County. Wang Junlin took Cangmen County back in less than an hour and led the army almost Annihilating 20,000 Turkic cavalry, this kind of method surprised the reinforcements from all walks of life, and at the same time it was extremely jealous and fearful. I wondered if this was the power of King Qin An and his Far East Army?
It really is extremely fierce!
