Ju Wu Ba was approaching fiercely. With his huge body and the heavy sword that was different from an ordinary long sword, it was as if there was no one in the chaos among the army. In just a few breaths, he had already reached Yang Gao and killed him.
"The little emperor of the Sui Dynasty, please die!"
Amidst the wild laughter, the heavy sword in Ju Wu Ba's hand roared out, and with the power of the roaring waves, he swooped down towards Yang Gao.
The giant came so fast that Yang Gao had no time to dodge. Taking a deep breath, Fang Tian raised his halberd and used all his strength to block it.
throat!
There was a deafening crash of metal, and sparks flew like stars.
Yang Gao received Ju Wuba's sword firmly, his face flushed, and his arms twitched.
"How can it be?"
The blood in Yang Gao's chest surged, and Ju Wuba's face also changed, and he was secretly surprised. He had already used 100% of his strength on that sword strike just now, in order to kill him with one blow. Even Pugu Huai'en, Zhebie and other Turkic generals were very few who could block it.
"The little emperor of the Sui Dynasty looks young, but his martial arts skills are so great!"
Ju Wuba was shocked by Yang Gao's martial arts. He was distracted for a moment and was delayed for a moment. When he came back to his senses and came up with the second sword, Yuwen Chengdu had already attacked him.
"How dare the Turkic barbarians disturb His Majesty?"
Amidst the roar, Yuwen Chengdu waved the gilded phoenix-winged boring machine in his hand, and with the sound of wind and tigers, flying sand and rocks flew straight towards Juwuba.
"I'll kill you first, and then take the little emperor's head!"
Ju Wuba snorted disdainfully and slashed at Yuwen Chengdu with his heavy sword.
There was another shocking collision, and the two warriors each grunted, their bodies swaying.
"There are such warriors among the Sui army. Their strength is much greater than that of the young hammer-wielding general we met earlier."
Ju Wu Ba, who always used his huge strength to overwhelm others, was evenly matched in terms of strength this time. This was even more shocking than when Yang Gao took his sword forcefully just now.
"Eat me again!"
Yuwen Chengdu's attack was like lightning. As soon as the collision was over, the gold-plated phoenix wings were already stabbing out. Juwuba didn't react in time, and his huge body was instantly cut open, and blood oozed out.
"Wow, you dare to hurt me, I'm going to kill you!"
Fighting alone, Ju Wuba had never been in such a situation before. In anger, he ignored the heavy sword and rushed towards Yuwen Chengdu and smashed it down.
Yuwen Chengdu was undaunted, and the gilded phoenix wings waved out, turning into golden light and heading towards the blade.
Juwuba is one foot long and ten girth wide. Although it gives him amazing brute strength, his huge body also leads to a shortcoming in his speed.
However, Ju Wu Ba has never encountered an opponent who can compete with him in terms of strength. As the saying goes, one force can defeat ten enemies. With that brute force, Ju Wu Ba has never been defeated.
But the Yuwen Chengdu he encountered today not only had the same power as him, but also had a speed that was far beyond his reach. After more than thirty rounds of fighting, Juwuba had seven or eight scars on his huge body. However, Juwuba had rough skin and thick flesh, so these small injuries were not enough to really affect him.
"How could there be such a powerful person in this world? How is this possible?"
The more Ju Wu Ba fought, the more he lost his confidence. Seeing the beasts he led fleeing in all directions, and the soldiers and horses under his command being killed by the Sui army, he did not dare to fight anymore, so he hurriedly sold a flaw and fled on horseback.
Yuwen Chengdu was worried about Yang Gao's safety, so he did not pursue him at the moment. He hurriedly rode to Yang Gao to protect his safety.
After Juguba was defeated and fled, Temujin, who had originally wanted to retreat, no longer had the intention to fight anymore, so he immediately turned around and withdrew his troops.
When the officers and soldiers of the Sui army learned that Emperor Yang Gao personally led his troops to the battle to stop the beasts and protected their flanks, their morale was unprecedentedly high. Under the leadership of Yue Fei and other Sui army generals, they descended the mountain like tigers, chasing them tail after tail, killing them directly. Rivers of blood flowed from the Turkic army, and corpses littered the fields.
In this battle, the Turkic army suffered more than 40,000 casualties and lost a large amount of military equipment and equipment donated by Youzhou rebel generals An Lushan, Shi Siming, Shi Jingtang and others. The Sui army also paid a heavy price with 13,000 soldiers killed and more than 8,000 injured.
This battle greatly inspired the confidence of Youzhou soldiers and civilians to fight against the Turks. Anle and Yuyang counties, which were still under the control of the Turks, also broke out in uprisings. They killed the prefectural magistrates who surrendered to the Turks and actively responded to the Sui army's Northern Expedition.
. . . . . . . .
The war in Youzhou was raging, and the Tang Dynasty, the mortal enemy of the Sui Dynasty, was not idle either.
Taking advantage of Yang Gao's opportunity to conquer Hebei and go north to fight against the Turks, and with the help of the Long nobles who provided money and grain, Prince Li Jiancheng calmed the people's livelihood and restored the economy, and King Qin Li Shimin organized military equipment and trained troops and horses. After more than a year, the Tang Dynasty finally The shadow of the tragic defeat of Luoyang and the fall of Chang'an came out.
After establishing an alliance with the Turkic Temujin, Li Shimin personally led the elite to annihilate the Liang divisions that were entrenched in Diaoyin and Honghua counties. This eliminated the sharp blade that had been stuck in the back of the Tang Dynasty and revived the morale of the Tang Dynasty's military and people. .
After that, Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng to raise food and wages, and Li Shimin secretly moved to Hanzhong.
After three months of this, Li Yuan finally issued an order to raise troops to conquer Bashu in the south, with King Li Shimin of Qin as the general marshal of the southern expedition, and King Li Yuanji of Qi as his deputy.
Hanzhong County, Nanzheng County Governor's Office.
The Generalissimo of Zhengnan, Qin Wang Li Shimin, was sitting on the upper step, while the deputy marshal Li Yuanji was sitting on the side seat, looking with disdain at Li Shimin, who was sitting on the upper seat with a calm face.
Behind Li Yuanji, stood a burly, dark-faced military commander. This man was Li Yuanji's confidant Zhu Si, who was the one who proclaimed himself emperor after the Jingyuan Mutiny in history.
Under the hall, the civil servants and generals belonging to Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion were sitting one after another. The first one on the left is Li Jilong, who is now awarded the title of Shangdang County King. Wen Tao and Wu Lu have followed Li Shimin in military campaigns for many years. He is also from the Li clan. Now he has a vague status as the head of the generals of Tiance Mansion.
Under Li Jilong, there are three generals: Li Siyuan, Gao Xianzhi, and Bi Zaiyu. These three are brave and strategic, and they are also the general talents that Li Shimin is extremely optimistic about.
Sitting first on the right is Du Ruhui. Since Changsun Wuji was captured, Du Ruhui has become Li Shimin's number one think tank. The civil servant under Du Ruhui was eight feet long, with a face like a crown jade, wearing a silk scarf and a crane cloak. He was Zhuge Liang, Li Shimin's new adviser not long ago.
"The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Mr. Zhuge, I have ordered you to take over the inventory of grain and grain. Now that the army is about to go on an expedition, I wonder how the grain and grass reserves in Hanzhong are. Can they fully supply the needs of my army for the expedition?"
Li Shimin looked at Zhuge Liang, smiled slightly and said.
Zhuge Liang stood up, bowed and saluted, and said: "Back to Your Highness, 400,000 stones of grain and grass have been transported to Nanzheng, and the remaining 100,000 stones of grain and grass have been raised by the Prince. I think it will be shipped to Nanzheng in the near future."
