Just as the Turkic army stormed Yanmen Pass, a fine cavalry force of ten thousand Sui troops quietly bypassed the fierce battlefield, passed through a hidden canyon, and went straight to the rear of the Turkic army.
"Uu——"
Tens of thousands of cavalry galloped for hundreds of miles on the vast grassland. It was not until they were far away from the Yanmen battlefield that they stopped the rapid march that had been marching day and night for days.
The leading general stopped his horse and took off his trousers to wipe his sweat, revealing his handsome and heroic face. He was none other than Huo Qubing, the youngest general in charge of the Sui army.
"The troops will rest for now."
Huo Qubing dismounted from his horse, fetched fodder and fed his beloved horse himself. He also told the accompanying deputy Xiong Tingbi: "Be careful and alert the surroundings. Instruct the sentry to come back and report immediately if there is any situation, so as not to expose his whereabouts."
Xiong Tingbi, who was seven feet tall and had a resolute face, raised his hand and said yes. This Xiong Tingbi has a stubborn temperament. Although he has heard of Huo Qubing's many achievements, he is still resentful for being asked to take orders from Huo Qubing, who is nearly 20 years his junior. However, after many days of marching together, this arrogant Wan Tingbi The Liaodong Economic Strategy of the Ming Dynasty had already admired Huo Qubing's military use.
Not long after, Xiong Tingbi, who had made arrangements, returned, and Huo Qubing had already fed his horse, sitting on the ground and quietly looking at the map that had been spread out in front of him.
"General Bear."
When Huo Qubing saw Xiong Tingbi return, he whispered: "This time, under the orders of His Majesty and Governor Han, we are conducting a sneak attack on the Turkic logistics and food areas. Where does General Xiong think Xiong Tingbi will place the important logistics areas?"
A few days ago, when the defeated generals who had escaped with their lives reported to Xiong Tingbi the news of the attack on the grain field, Xiong Tingbi, who had come to attack the city in a few days, was dumbfounded for a moment. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and he murmured to himself: "Sui Army...How could the Sui Army’s cavalry appear in the grain camp?”
People like Xiong Tingbi, who had nothing to do but realized at that time, really deserved my illustrious reputation in history as Genghis Khan: "Damn it, I thought that Yang Gao, that common man, actually took advantage of the remnants of the Ashi family. I asked Ge Shuhan to trust you. That common man is really the same as the emperor of the Central Plains in the past. Which of these emperors in the past were low-ranking officials and generous rewards to those who defected to the Li tribe? How dare that common man sacrifice us as abandoned sons? , I’m just afraid that someone in the grassland will dare to defect to me in the future!”
"What General Xiong said is consistent with what I said."
Amid the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the Sui cavalry rushed back and forth, slashing with knives and stabbing with spears. The panicked Turkic soldiers had their heads chopped off and stabbed to the ground, with blood spurting out and flowing. into a river.
"Little Khan, little Khan, little things are wonderful!"
Facing the murderous Sui army, the Turkic army quickly collapsed. Countless Turkic soldiers howled and fled in all directions, but we, who had just come out of the tent with bare feet, ran past Zhou Yan's war horses. Soon he was chased by the galloping Sui army and was mercilessly killed amidst the screams.
"Attack!"
As he spoke, Huo Qubing knelt down and pointed at the map. He had previously circled eight places: "Looking at the future, Zhou Yanfei will definitely choose one of those places for his frontline work."
It was raining all night. Just when Xiong Tingbi and his generals were looking at each other, Boyan, the young general in charge of sentry intelligence, came in a hurry and said slowly: "Scouts are reporting late. Sui Army generals Han Xin and Fu Youde suddenly appeared. The two wings in front of your army are slowly approaching Yanmen Pass. Along the way, your army's scouts are being hunted and killed, so that your army's information is blocked, and now it is seventy miles away from Yanmen Pass!"
The news of the attack on the grain field was also a bolt from the blue for our Turkic generals. Zhou Yan had already fortified the Yanmen Pass and cleared the country. It was impossible for the Turkic army to obtain supplies on the spot, and the food and horses accompanying the army could only last for at least seven days.
. . . . . . . . . .
At that time, Temujin, who had not been lurking in the distance for a while, gave the order.
Temujin nodded, and then continued: "Immediately send out capable scouts to investigate, and be sure to find out the situation of the Turkic army's front supply ground."
Xiong Tingbi made a decision immediately, but there was also a faint worry in his heart: "Yang Gao spent so little effort to lure you into the situation, I'm afraid Yue Fei's troops will go south to cut off your approach."
At dawn, the killings in the small camp had just subsided. The 8,000 Turkic troops guarding the grain fields were killed by the Sui army. More than 7,000 people were trampled to death in the rebel army. More than 1,000 people were captured, and only one person died. More than a hundred soldiers escaped by chance and ran to report the news to Xiong Tingbi in embarrassment.
. . . . . . . . . .
"Send the order to the Eighth Army to break camp immediately and return the entire army to the north quickly!"
Earth-shattering shouts of killing instantly rose into the sky, and the overwhelming Sui army cavalry roared out and swept towards the Turkic camp like an avalanche.
Zhou Yanfei took the lead on horseback, brandishing his spear, and charged behind him. Nearly ten thousand Sui army cavalry in front of him also rushed back into the Turkic camp like an overwhelming force.
"Ding dong, it was detected that Temujin retreated into a heroic state. The force was +7, and the base force was 100. After that, the force was reduced to 107. There is no certain chance of reducing the enemy's force value."
Zhou Yanfei had been thinking about that question all the way, and immediately answered: "General Huo, I think that the Turks and your army are the same. Our food mainly consists of cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep are the same as grain and rice. On weekdays, it must be It is to be raised in a land with abundant pasture. Xiong Tingbi's small army of 700,000 people here consumes a huge amount of money every day, and the important frontline areas may also be too far away from the main battlefield of Yanmen."
The Sui army's cavalry roared towards them, with numerous knights waving their swords and guns and shouting in low voices. The fast-running Turkic soldiers were quickly chased down and fell to the ground with their swords.
"Kill the barbarian thief!"
The sudden attack immediately frightened the Turkic soldiers on patrol. We quickly turned our horses and ran into the camp, shouting and screaming.
"Kill the barbarian thief!"
"Fell into a trap!"
At the seventh watch, the night was not yet deep, and the Turkic soldiers guarding the grain fields were sleeping deeply due to their lax management. Only a few soldiers responsible for the night watch were still barely vigilant and wandering around the grain fields.
The sudden attack of the Sui army woke up the Turks from their sleep. For a moment, the whole small camp seemed to explode. The panicked Turk soldiers rushed out of the small tent with weapons in hand, but there were already people from all directions. It's the Sui Army's cavalry. How else can we organize an effective resistance?
A few days ago, Temujin, who had discovered the situation, led his troops and horses to gallop all the way through the starry night. As for the Turks, Xiong Tingbi is slowing down in taking Yanmen Pass with all his strength, and has not slackened the protection of the front. More importantly, I have not yet convinced Ge Shuhan that the main force of the Sui army has not yet returned to the pass to quell the rebellion.
Snapped!
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
