Turbulent Times Chapter 1393: Fire Canyon

After the rolling stones, there were rockets fired by the Sui army. The Turkic people at the bottom of the valley piled up in the middle of the valley because of the rolling stones. The Sui army soldiers on both sides could shoot people to death without even aiming.

While shooting the rockets, the soldiers of the Sui army threw down bundles of hay that had been bundled in advance, and some of the dry grass turned into a big fireball before it even hit the ground.

Very soon, hundreds of burning Turkic warriors appeared in the valley, uttering terrific screams, running wildly, and igniting many companions before dying.

Not long after, the smell of barbecue in the valley began to fill the night sky, and there were shrill screams, angry howls, and desperate wailing one after another.

Under the protection of the golden wolf guards around him, Shibi Khan was not injured, but he watched his subordinates being smashed to death, shot to death, and burned to death one by one.

Through the gorge, the Turkic people looked at the torches raised by the Sui army on both sides of the mountains and fields. They even saw the mighty Great Wall, which was built by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty seven years ago. , they can escape, but even if they escape from the Great Wall right now, how many people are left.

On both sides of the canyon, Li Shimin and Wang Rengong each led their men and horses, and used all kinds of weapons prepared before to kill the Turkic people wantonly. When they finished shooting the rolling stones and rockets, the remaining Turkic people were about to When rushing out of the canyon, they had to lead people to rush over and fight in close combat.

To be honest, if the Turkic people were not only concerned with fleeing for their lives, and they were under the command of Wang Junlin, they were ahead of the enemy and knew in advance that the Turkic people would abandon Yanmen City, which they took so hard, and flee overnight. It is also impossible for them to use the terrain here to ambush the Turks who have more troops than them and are stronger than them.

After all, the Turkic people are good at fighting. If they were in the wilderness at this time, maybe they would run away.

In particular, the fighting strength of the 40,000 Golden Wolf Cavalry under Shibi Khan's command was much higher than that of ordinary Turkic cavalry. Recovered under the orders of Dagan and Xiaojian

Battle formation, while using bows and arrows to counterattack the ambush soldiers rushing down from the mountain ridges on both sides, while running quickly to the far valley entrance.

The terrain in the valley is narrow, which is not conducive to the deployment of Turkic troops, and the Sui army occupies a convenient location. The Pingyuan outside the valley is an ideal cavalry battlefield. Although more than 10,000 of them died just now, the remaining 80,000 cavalry are enough to crush the ambushing Sui army to pieces.

But how could Li Shimin and Wang Rengong give up the terrain that is beneficial to them.

"If you want to leave, it's not that easy!" Li Shimin gave an order, and the trumpeter next to him blew the horn again. When a soldier and horse at the exit of the valley heard the horn, they immediately put down their bows and arrows, and lifted up the rocks around them.

Big chunks of rock were pushed down the hillside by the ambush soldiers, and some of them were blocked by wild trees in the middle, splashing countless dead branches and leaves. Another part rolled directly into the Turkic crowd, smashing the Turkic soldiers who had rushed to the front and were about to rush out of the valley.

There are many stones prepared in the narrowest part of the valley, so they are also the hardest to hit. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of Turkic cavalrymen and horses were smashed to the ground, forcibly blocking the way of their own people, and soon the horses at the exit of the valley could not gallop out quickly, and they could only escape by climbing slowly.

In this case, if they want to escape, or even meet the next fight, the Turkic horses have become their burden.

"Dismount, the Great Khan has an order, dismount and fight!" Shibi Khan reacted quickly, and immediately issued the most correct order at this time.

Thousands of soldiers around him shouted in unison and passed on his order. There are also some messengers running back and forth in the valley, shouting at the top of their lungs.

In fact, before Shibi Khan gave an order, some tribal leaders also found that there were more and more stones and corpses on the ground, and they were not as fast as walking on horseback. When they found that the way was blocked, they ordered their tribesmen to jump off their horses to clear the way.

In the process, the feathered arrows flying down from the mountains on both sides shot the slow-moving Turks to death mercilessly, using their corpses to add another layer of thickness to the obstacles, and the Turkic casualties continued Increase.

"Get off the horse, get off the horse, the sweat has orders, at the mouth of the canyon

The tribe is responsible for clearing the stones at the entrance of the valley, and the other tribes divide their troops to fight back!" After nearly a thousand lives were lost, the lucky Turks had to adjust their tactics. The man jumped off his horse and turned back up the mountain with a knife.

In fact, the entrance of the valley where they entered was not blocked, but they did not dare to turn back and exit the valley, because they only wanted to escape to the grassland as soon as possible, and they also knew that as long as they turned back, they would die sooner or later. And they also knew that they had no way to surrender to the Sui army, because they had killed too many evils in the Sui Dynasty, and they knew that they would not get any forgiveness.

Li Shimin and Wang Rengong occupy a convenient location, but they are different from each other in terms of numbers and combat power.

After paying the price of thousands of casualties, the Turks finally rushed to the hillside and began to fight with the Sui army. Do not fight close to the Turkic warriors rushing up the mountain.

These days, under the leadership of Wang Junlin, fighting against the Turkic people has always been the upper hand. Fight on the battlefield.

A few days ago, Wang Junlin told all the reinforcements that the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty was still going on. If the Turkic people could not be hit as hard as possible this time, when the chaos in the Sui Dynasty completely broke out, the Turkic people might take the opportunity to go south and take advantage of the fire to loot.

At that time, the entire Central Plains will be in chaos, and I am afraid that the situation of joining forces against the enemy like today will not exist, and their Taiyuan County will almost bear the brunt of it, and they will surely fall into a catastrophe, let alone compete in the world.

Moreover, there are two reasons for Li Shimin's wholehearted desire to annihilate the Turkic people as much as possible.

One is that he once personally inspected the villages that had been looted by the Turks. It was so desolate, the entire village seemed to have fallen from the world into hell, and no living people were seen anymore. The horror and shock were not enough to describe the tragedy at that time.

There is another reason that can’t be told to anyone. Even Li Shimin’s father, Li Yuan, told him quietly before he led the army to leave Taiyuan to the north—his father had secretly contacted the Turkic people, and there was even an agreement. collusion.
