Turbulent Times Chapter 1380: Bait still works
(Thank you very much for the generosity of ‘TM Tianlan’ and the support of monthly tickets.)
One is to let the bait of Yang Guang continue to work, let the Turks continue to give up their good riding and shooting, and get off their horses to attack the city, so as to increase consumption.
The second is to wait for Zhang Tiangang to cut off the Turkic food roads to increase the panic of the Turkic people.
The last one is to let the news of Li Xuanba copying the Turkic people's lair reach the ears of the Turkic army outside Yanmen City, so that the Turkic army will get confused first, and then it will be the time for them to launch an all-out attack.
But now, before the news that the old nest has been dominated by Li Xuan came, fierce disputes arose in Shibi Khan's king's tent in the current Turkic camp.
"Khan, the loss outweighs the gain!"
"Khan, we have lost so many troops, and now we only robbed five counties of Yanmen County in the Sui Dynasty."
"Khan, now that someone from the Sui army has cut off our food supply, how long can we last for food and grass?"
"But Yanmen City is about to be taken down. If we don't continue to fight, the previous losses will be in vain. But as long as Yanmen City is taken down and the Sui Dynasty emperor is captured alive, our previous losses will definitely be compensated. "
Khan Shibi knocked on the table irritably, calming down the noise in the big tent a little. It can be seen from the tone and tone of the leaders and generals of each tribe.

The grain and grass of the Turkic army were burned by the special forces, and the food road was cut off. Although there were grain and grass looted from the five counties of Yanmen County, their army was quite large, so Shibi Khan still arranged for 30,000 cavalry. A team of 2,000 people raged across the wilderness with a radius of a hundred miles in Hekou County, doing what they were best at——grazing valleys and searching for grain and grass in the villages and towns of the Sui people.
Of course there are too many problems with this decision, such as what to do if these people go out and are surrounded and killed by reinforcements from the Sui Dynasty.
But the reason for this decision is justifiable. After all, it is for long-term consideration. It is necessary to search for food and grass, and the Turks who perform this task like it very much, because this way, they don't have to attack Yanmen City.
In fact, Nie Xiaoyu asked Shibi Khan to give this order.
…
…
In the perception of the Turkic people, the people of the Sui Dynasty were much richer than them,
Life is even better. In fact, even Yanmen County is like this. They found that the wealth accumulated in an ordinary Sui Dynasty village exceeded that of a smaller tribe on the grassland. And these are the villages and towns after some big households fled into the city ahead of time with their large amount of property.
In fact, what the Turkic people don't know is that this is the situation where the troubled times of the Great Sui Dynasty are approaching in the past few years, and the lives of the people are not as good as before.
Two thousand Turkic cavalry, brandishing their knives and making sharp and ugly whistles and laughter, rushed into a small village in the valley.
This small village is far away from the official road, and luckily avoided the large forces of the Turkic army. The refugees nearby also took the trail to hide here, and now it is crowded with two to three thousand people.
The vast majority of these refugees are old and weak women and children. As for the men in the family, they were either killed by Turkic people, or they were killed by officers, soldiers or thieves before.
The Turkic cavalry gathered everyone and began to search the property in the room, but this village is really remote and relatively poor, so they didn't get much.
The Turkic cavalry was very dissatisfied and cursed angrily.
The old and weak women and children gathered in the center of the village all bowed their heads in silence, only a girl in the arms of an old woman stared at the Turkic cavalry.
The girl is still young, so she doesn't know exactly what happened, but she knows that her home was burned down by these villains in front of her, and her father was killed by these villains with a bad smell Dead, so her eyes were full of hatred.
A Turkic cavalryman was annoyed at how little he had gained today, when he suddenly saw the girl's hateful gaze, his anger surged from his heart, and he walked towards the crowd with his saber in his hand.
He raised the sword in his hand.
Several old people in the crowd stood up angrily, trying to stop him.
But the sword has fallen.
The girl was not hacked to death.
Because the saber fell to the ground, there was a crisp impact sound.
The Turkic cavalryman had an arrow stuck in his eye socket and fell straight down.
The arrow feather of that arrow is the standard weapon of the Taiyuan County of the Sui Dynasty.
The Turkic cavalry were taken aback. They remounted their horses in a short time, took off the bows and arrows on their shoulders, and looked vigilantly at the mountain forest behind the village.
The ear-piercing sound of piercing the air suddenly rang out.
From a rain of arrows
Flying out of the mountains and forests, nearly a hundred Turkic cavalrymen shot down from their horses.
After the arrow rain, Li Shimin led 10,000 soldiers from Taiyuan County to rush out of the forest. Killing the Turkic cavalry like wolves and tigers!
"Ambush! Retreat!"
The still alive Turkic cavalry shouted in shock and anger, with a look of fear on their faces, and desperately pulled the rope, trying to turn their horses and escape, but it was too late.

Shibi Khan's direct descendant Heimate led 3,000 people and stopped by a river more than 50 miles east of Yanmen City.
Riding on the back of his love horse whose fur was wet with sweat, Black Horse looked northwest. A little farther away is the goal this time - a fortress that does not seem to be small in scale. From this point of view, it was built by the local people in the Sui Dynasty. The wall rising from the flat ground is lower than the shortest military fortress. a lot of.
Look at the sky, it will be dark if you wait a little longer.
"Since it's getting dark, let's make a night attack and easily capture the Sui people's fortress." Heimate ordered to drink water and rest, looking at the fortress in the distance, giving the order like this.
……
……
Night has finally fallen.
The stars and the moon in the sky are blocked by thick clouds, and the night without enough light is a thick black that can't be seen.
In the darkness, there was a mass of dark figures, half squatting, half kneeling, curled up, or lying down, looking at the fortress not far away. And in the dark wilderness farther away, there are more Turkic soldiers lurking in places invisible to the people in this fortress, secretly accumulating energy, waiting for the final order.
There are also two short ladders that will accompany them to the bottom of the city wall at the same time. That was the siege weapon built by the two Han craftsmen they led in the evening.
After all, it was the fortress of the Sui people, and the Turkic people were not hindered or attacked in any way, obviously they were not discovered by the Sui people in the fortress.
The Turks who have sneaked in are still waiting, they are waiting for Hemat's order.
Soon, a war drum suddenly sounded, beating these Turkic soldiers who were eager to plunder the people of the Sui people and humiliate the women of the Sui people.
The drums sounded, and the three thousand Turks began to attack this seemingly small fortress. In their imagination, it should be easy.
