Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
The fourth day.
The jade gate is closed.
The drums of war are rolling like thunder.
Yelu Dehai rode his horse back and forth outside the pass, shouting curses and challenges.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw this, they rushed to Yuzan's mansion and reported the matter to the general.
At this time.
Yuzan's leg injury has gradually healed.
He asked: "The person who challenged me today under the city was the thief general who wielded the spear that day?"
"The challenger at the city gate today is a thief with a big axe, not the thief general that day."
The city guard bowed and replied.
"Hmph! I was about to avenge myself with a spear, but he didn't come to challenge me? That's all! Kill him first today to vent my anger!"
When I heard what the soldiers said.
Yuzan's heart moved.
turn out to be.
That day, he had a battle with Wang Buchao and almost figured out the details of his opponent.
On normal days, he might be able to tie with Wang Buchao, but now he has an injury on his leg. Although he is gradually recovering, he is still unable to move, and he will still be hindered when fighting with the enemy.
now.
When he heard that the person challenging outside was not Wang Buchao that day, most of the anxiety in his heart immediately dissipated, so he said.
Say it.
Yuzan immediately stood up, ordered his soldiers to prepare their armor, then picked up their weapons, rode out of the pass, and came to fight Yelu Dehai.
Anyway.
According to Yuzan's idea - how could the small country of Tuyuhun have many powerful generals who were not above average?
Build on ideas like these.
Yuzan held a flaming ghost-headed fork and led five thousand soldiers and horses out of the pass. He came to the front of the formation and faced the two generals Yelu Dehai and Yelu Qishang from a distance.
He waved the weapon in his palm and shouted loudly: "Go back quickly and replace the spear-wielding thief! You and other generals from other countries are no match for me!"
Upon hearing this.
Yelu Dehai was furious. He swung his big ax in his hand and replied loudly: "You have such a defeated general, how dare you boast of such a seaport? Don't leave, and you will take my axe!"
Say it.
With a tiger roar, he galloped out with his horse and ax in hand, heading towards Yuzan to kill him.
Seeing this, Yuzan sneered, and then he swung the steel fork in his hand, the fork head whipping up strong wind, and watched Yelu Dehai stab him in the face.
This move is like lightning.
Yelu Dehai was forced to swing his axe, block and parry.
In an instant.
Two generals will fight together.
But you can see——
The two horses are soaring, and the weapons are raised at the same time.
The wheel ax rolls up with murderous intent.
The ghost head fork brings out a little bit of cold stars.
The truth is - the bleak clouds cover the red sun, and the sea boils and the rivers are filled with sorrows of gods and ghosts.
The two fierce tigers fought each other in front of the formation, and they fought until they were thirty or forty, but they were still indifferent.
When Yelu Qi Shang saw him in the military formation, he felt itchy and shouted loudly: "Brother! I'm here to help you!" Before he finished speaking, he flew out on horseback, with the sword in his palm flying, and went straight for Yuzan to kill him.
Yuzan was in the middle of a fight with Yelu Dehai when he suddenly heard Yelu Qishang roaring. He was startled and subconsciously turned his head to look at Yelu Qishang.
But I saw a ferocious general!
How does it look like? Exactly——
Wearing a purple and gold helmet with an elephant trunk,
Wearing a large-leaf tiger leather armor,
Tie a leopard belt,
Wearing a pair of leather pointed-toe boots,
Holding the flaming three-pronged fork in his palm,
Under the seat is a tall red horse.
When Yuzan saw this person, his heart suddenly jumped.
Subsequently.
Yelu Qishang had already rushed in front of him.
The three strands of flames in the palm shook out, like a red dragon reaching for its claws, reaching for Yuzan's chest.
Under this offensive.
Although Yuzan's martial arts skills are amazing, how can he be the opponent of these two generals?
He fought one against two for about twenty rounds, but in the end he had no strength left and could only make a feint and retreat.
Upon seeing this, the Yelu brothers immediately rode their horses and led the army in pursuit. After a battle, they killed the Sui army and fled in all directions, throwing away their helmets and armor.
Yuzan dragged Guitoucha upside down, and Feiye seemed to have fled back to the Yumen Pass. He closed the city gate tightly, raised the suspension bridge high, and never left the city to fight again.
When the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses saw the Sui army's defeat, they followed closely and attacked the city fiercely.
But.
After all, Yumen Pass is the western barrier.
Tuyuhun soldiers and horses attacked continuously for a whole day, but could not make any progress.
at the same time.
Yuzan huddled in the city and defended it with the help of solid city defenses. While resisting the enemy, he waited for the support from Dunhuang City and the imperial army.
…
"Report...! Report to Khan, General Di Guli is back!"
That night.
In the Tuyuhun camp.
A scout rushed over and reported to Khan Yaoluoge Bodhisattva.
turn out to be.
On the occasion of departure.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva has already sent out the brave general Di Guli, leading a light cavalry, bypassing Yumen Pass and arriving near Dunhuang City to inquire about the movements of the Sui army.
now.
He suddenly sent a scout to deliver a message, presumably getting some important information.
"Bring the scouts up!"
Think of this.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva waved his hand gently and gave instructions to the soldiers in front of him.
The soldiers took the order and left, and not long after, a scout was brought to the sight of Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva.
"The villain has seen Khan!"
The scout knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
"Tell me! Why did Di Guli send you here?"
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva asked.
The scout said: "My general is east of Yumen Pass. He intercepted two military reports from the Sui army. After opening them and checking them, he found that they were letters for help sent to Dunhuang and Daxing City! Therefore, my general sent a villain to come and deliver the letters to the city. In front of the Khan, please ask the Khan to make a decision.”
"A letter asking for help?"
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva was slightly startled.
Immediately, he took the two letters held in the scout's hands, unfolded them, and looked at them carefully.
Not for a while.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva said to the soldiers beside him: "Fine wine and good food, entertain this scout, and then ask Tuoba Mumi to come over!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers quickly bowed to accept the order and walked down with the scout.
After a while.
Counselor Tuoba Mumi came to the tent.
"Khan, I wonder what happened?"
Tuoba Mumi came to the tent and immediately asked Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva said: "Our army intercepted the Sui army's military report, which was a letter from Yumen Pass to Dunhuang and Daxing City asking for help... After reading the letter, I am going to make a plan based on it. I wonder if you have any good strategies?"
"Is this..."
Tuoba Mumi pondered slightly.
He stroked his long beard and thought for a moment, then said to Yaoluoge Bodhisattva: "I have just thought of three strategies - the first is to besiege the city for reinforcements, surround Yumen Pass, attract the main forces of Dunhuang and Daxing City, and then defeat them in one fell swoop. Secondly, it is a method of only siege but not attack, blocking the passages on all sides of Yumen Pass of the Sui army, and it can be broken naturally when the food in the city is exhausted; thirdly, it is to stand still, attract the main force of the Sui army to kill, and arrange the battlefield Instead of fighting hard outside Yumen Pass... let the Khan decide on these three strategies."
"It's too dangerous to besiege the city and bring reinforcements, and it's too slow to lure the enemy out. If we besiege Yumen Pass, it's more suitable to take it easy."
After listening to Tuoba Mumi's strategy.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva began to think about it in his mind, and after a while, he made a decision.
immediately.
He summoned his generals Wang Buchao, Yelu Dehai, Yelu Qishang, Xiao Ludi, Shali Chitu, An Xinggui, An Xiuren and other generals to come here, and talked about asking for help at Yumen Pass.
"I am going to dispatch four groups of soldiers and horses to press against the four gates and besiege Yumen Pass. I wonder which four generals are willing to go?"
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva looked at everyone and asked.
As soon as this statement came out.
All the generals under his command asked for battle.
We argued for a while.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva waved his hand to suppress the noise in the tent, and then said: "Wang Buchao, Xiao Ludi, and Shali Chitu, you three each led a group of troops to besiege the north gate, east gate, and east gate of Yumen Pass. At the three points of the south gate, I will lead the remaining army to besiege the west gate... I will try to trap the soldiers and horses of Yumen Pass to death before the Sui army reacts!"
"The last general takes command!"
As soon as Yaoluoge Bodhisattva said this.
The generals under his command held their heads high and held their chests high, obeyed the order, and then left.
…
From now on.
Tuyuhun soldiers and horses put more pressure on Yumen Pass, and their offensive became more urgent.
Yuzan stayed in the city for five days, but never saw the arrival of Dunhuang City and the main force of Daxing.
He was becoming more and more anxious.
This day.
Yuzan came to the city to watch the battle as always.
He looked from a distance and saw the banners outside the city were densely covered, the horses were tumbling, and the murderous intent was roaring. The momentum was extremely huge, and he felt very depressed.
However.
at this time.
Suddenly, outside the east gate, there was chaos in the formation of Tuyuhun General Xiao Ludi.
Yuzan perked up and looked up.
I saw a general, holding a lion's head mixed with iron, and his prancing horse rushed into the formation from behind. He rushed left and right, as if he was entering a deserted land. He reached the bottom of the city and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly." !”
Yu Zan saw this man with a high nose, deep eyes, and silver beard and hair, but he didn't recognize him, so he didn't dare to open the door.
at the same time.
Dozens of cavalrymen under Xiao Ludi's command, each holding a sword and flying on their horses, had already reached behind the general.
The general suddenly turned around, flying the lion's head in his hand, and smashed several people to death. The rest of the enemy soldiers saw it and quickly retreated back.
At this point.
Yuzan then ordered the soldiers to open the door and welcomed the general in.
The man quickly came to Yuzan with his long spear in hand. He nodded and bowed his hands.
Yuzan asked his name.
The man said: "My name is Beigong Guochang. I am a native of Dunhuang. I once served as the garrison commander of Dunhuang..."
