When the Turkic army approached the Khitan military camp, Yang Lun and Deng Haoye, who were commanding the north gate of Longshan City, had discovered it and asked the soldiers to assemble urgently, conveying the news that "King Wei led the Turkic army to attack the Khitan camp".
The streets running through the north and south gates of the city were densely covered with cavalry, and several side streets were also full of troops, with as many as 20,000 to 30,000 troops.
These soldiers include both the Youzhou Army and the Jizhou Army. The former are elite soldiers, while the latter are young men recruited by Yang Lun from the people of Jizhou on the orders of Yang Guang. The other part are soldiers from the local military government.
The Jizhou Army has not been established for a long time, and its strength and combat experience are not as good as those of the Youzhou Army. However, the land of Hebei, including Jizhou, is a gathering place for the descendants of the border soldiers in the six towns. The people are tough and difficult to control, and are far less easy to govern than other places.
When Yang Liang rebelled, the powerful people in Qi gathered together. First, they had restless "genes" in their bones. Second, at the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian treated the old areas of the Northern Qi Dynasty differently in order to gain the full support of the Guanlong nobles. This gave the Northern Qi officials hidden among the people the opportunity to make trouble; there were many people who were dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty. Although the imperial court won the victory in the end, Yang Guang had to consider the huge hidden dangers in the old land of Northern Qi.
While considering the stability of Hebei and appeasing the people, Yang Guang also planned to lead the "Qi Army" to check and balance the "Zhou Army". Therefore, at the beginning of his drastic reform of the Beijing Army, he planned to supplement the Beijing Army with Qi soldiers.
It was precisely for this reason that Yang Guang asked Yang to step down from the position of Grand Manager of Yanzhou and change his position to the Chief Manager of Jizhou, allowing him to quietly recruit troops and train elite soldiers.
The elites in Hebei have been neglected by the imperial court for more than twenty years. There are many elites who are "unappreciated". Although they dare not rebel, they are extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court. When Yang Lun gave the order to recruit troops, the young men who were eager to make meritorious services suddenly felt their eyes lit up, and they responded to the call one after another and signed up to join the army. Everyone hopes to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and win a bright future with their talents and merits.
The Jizhou Army is a brand new army, and Yang Lun strictly implements the policy of "evaluating talents only"; officers below General Lang are all selected from the best young men.
This move made the entire army rejoice, and their support for the Sui Dynasty and their desire to return home reached unprecedented heights.
Now that I have won the battle for more than ten days, I am even more confident.
When they were ordered to assemble, officers at all levels conveyed the news that "King Wei led the Turkic army to attack the Khitan camp". At this time, when they heard the trumpets blaring outside the city and the sound of killing, their blood boiled.
I can't wait to get out of the city immediately.
On the city, Yang Lun, who was wearing Mingguang armor, stood first. Behind him, there was a tall soldier carrying Yang Lun's horse, and another person held high the battle flag with the word "Sui". The red flag was torn by the strong wind, and Hunter hunted. Noisy and majestic.
"General manager, the soldiers have been waiting for a while. When will we go out?" A general saw a group of Khitan troops in the west camp in the distance. The Turkic troops poured into the camp like a stormy sea and drove the Khitan troops to the front camp. Suddenly I couldn't hold it any longer.
"Today's Khitan army camp is in chaos, and the situation is not yet clear. If our army attacks rashly, it will not only fail to achieve the effect of annihilating the enemy, but will risk a melee with the Turkic army." Yang Lun stared at the battle situation, his head spinning. He ordered without reply: "Open the city gate and let the soldiers assemble outside the city first. As for when to attack, wait for the sound of the war drums to attack."
"Here!" the general responded, ran to the bottom of the city, ordered the defenders to open the city gate, and asked the cavalry to leave the city and wait for orders.
Suddenly, groups of cavalry filed out of the city gate and formed formation on the grassland outside the city.
Not long after the 30,000 cavalry were in formation, Yang Lun's eyes suddenly lit up on the city.
I saw the Khitan troops in the front camp leaving the camp one after another and heading northeast, while the flag that led them out stood motionless on a hill.
Next to him, Deng Hao clenched his fist, waved his big hand, and said loudly: "General manager, the Khitan army is ready to assemble; our army only needs to kill in the direction of the banner, it will be another battlefield, and we will not mess with the Turkic army." .”
Yang Lun didn't say anything, but squinted his eyes and stared closely at the Turkic white wolf-headed banner. When he saw the banner stopped in the north camp, the Turkic soldiers chasing the Khitan rebels were led by the banner. , turned around one after another and entered the camp again, and they realized that the "Turkic Army Commander" used Dahu as the boundary to divide the battlefield.
When several red flags were erected next to the white banner, Yang Lun ordered the flag soldiers: "Let our army's flag lead the army to kill to the northeast."
The flag soldiers immediately waved the big flags on the city, and the big flags below the city immediately moved to the northeast. When the military flag-callers saw this, they also waved the flags.
The armies turned around according to the order, with their horses' heads pointing to the northeast.
Seeing that the soldiers were ready, Yang Lun punched the battlements and shouted: "Blow the drum and go to war!"
"Dong dong dong dong..." The rumbling war drums sounded on the city. Thirty thousand Sui cavalry were divided into three teams and rushed towards the Khitan army's assembly point with murderous intent.
The soldiers and horses who were ready to attack were overwhelming like dragons, and instantly defeated the thousands of Khitan troops who hadtily fought.
In a battle involving tens of thousands of people, the atmosphere changes very obviously. Whenever there is commotion and panic somewhere, it will cause a series of chain reactions. During the siege battle that lasted for more than ten days, the Khitan army was already exhausted and their morale plummeted. The sudden attack by the Turkic army made them even more frightened and heartbroken.
The high-ranking generals such as Chief Xiwandan Zhangke were killed first. At this time, no one came to restrain them. The sudden attack of the Sui army caused the Khitan soldiers to flee in all directions and desperately fled to the northeast. Fortunately, veteran generals such as Fu Fuyu and Xirong decisively abandoned the camp and quickly gathered the elite soldiers of the front army under the banner. In addition, several troops who had been cut off from the rear were sacrificed, and the turmoil finally calmed down a little.
Fufuyu Xirong sent several generals to the rear to collect the defeated troops and let them assemble the army in the rear, while he was on the hill, commanding the Khitan front army to fight the Sui army.
He pulled out his sword from its sheath and shouted loudly: "Fight!"
The thousands of soldiers at the front of the Khitan army were divided into four columns. They raised their bows and arrows and faced the front. They formed an airtight arrow array in the wilderness.
"Thanks to Chief Fufuyu, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!" A captain of ten thousand men gasped in admiration.
Fu Fuyu Xirong did not respond to his flattery, but stared solemnly at the approaching Sui soldiers, his face gradually turning pale.
The soldiers of the Sui army were all wearing armor. They rushed in without hesitation and with contempt for everything. Once they tore apart the Khitan horse archers, what awaited them would be a one-sided massacre!
Fu Fuyu Xirong secretly thought, "Can our army withstand such a powerful Sui army?" Thinking like this, he silently retreated to the rear, but he was still in a very forward position.
The reason why he dared to fight under unfavorable circumstances: First, he had to fight. Once the order to retreat was given, it would be a crushing defeat and he would never be able to gather the army. After that, each tribe would be defeated by the Sui army and the Turkic soldiers. Massacre to his heart's content; secondly, he expected that the Turkic army would not participate in the Sui army's battle to avoid accidental killing by the two armies, so he gritted his teeth and endured.
The Khitan army archers in front, under the command of the generals, uniformly raised their bows and arrows at an angle. Following the command of "fire arrows", arrows flew into the sky like dark clouds, densely packed towards the charging Sui army. The soldiers came shooting.
Faced with this terrifying rain of arrows, the cavalry charging at full speed could not retreat. They charged forward without hesitation. The arrows hit the heavy armor and made a "dinging" sound.
Some cavalrymen were hit by arrows while running at full speed, and suddenly fell off their horses and were submerged in the rolling torrent of cavalry. The cavalry in front quickly crossed the "shooting point". Even if the cavalry in front of them was hit by an arrow and fell from the horse, they were unable to rescue and had no time to avoid it. The only thing they could do was to kill more enemy troops and save those who fell because of the arrow. The horse was trampled into mud and Paoze took revenge.
The Khitan army was already close at hand, and they could clearly see everyone's face and eyebrows.
"kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers of the Sui army held up their war spears and spears and slammed into the queue of the Khitan army with great ferocity, sending waves of blood flying all the way!
Fufuyu Xirong was as immovable as a mountain in the army, acting as the anchor of the army. Behind him, the Khitan soldiers nervously looked at the scenes in front of them, with men and horses neighing and blood and flesh flying everywhere.
The Khitan front army is the elite of the Khitan elite, and they have inherited to some extent the tactics taught to them by Gao Baoning. Their overall quality is quite good, not to mention that Fu Fuyu Xirong has gathered the most elite soldiers around him, etc. When the Sui army tore apart the front array and was about to enter a fierce battle with the Chinese army, it was time for him to make a desperate counterattack.
At this moment, the front army can be in chaos, the left and right wings can be in chaos, but the center army must be stable! His front army must also delay time for the Chinese army and create the best opportunity for the Chinese army to attack. His Chinese army must also create opportunities for the rear army to form formations.
However, the Sui army's cavalry was extremely fierce and outnumbered. When the cavalry in front opened a gap, they drove straight into the Chinese army, like a red-hot sharp knife cutting into condensed lard. Nothing could do it. Block their forward momentum. The two teams of 10,000 people on the left and right flanked them from both sides.
The three directions of the battlefield here quickly turned into a sea of blood hell. Regardless of the Sui soldiers or the Khitan soldiers, both sides fought desperately in this Shura field. Everyone waved their spears and knives and roared to fight. Together.
Compared with the Khitan Army, the Sui Army soldiers were proficient in battle formations and were not fighting blindly. Each brigade was a small formation. The ten soldiers in the front were responsible for killing the enemy, and the soldiers behind were responsible for releasing arrows and pouring arrows on the enemy. The army behind the front army to disrupt the enemy's formation.
They fought together and combined their superiority in strength to gradually close the encirclement.
But this is not the most fatal thing. What is fatal is that a "Turkic Army" with a number of five to six thousand people bypasses the battlefield here and goes directly towards their rear army.
After this "Turkic army" was in position, it did not attack immediately. Instead, under the sound of orders, it tore open its outer robe and took off its leather hat, revealing armor and helmets whose colors were different from those of the Sui army in front.
Fu Fuyu Xirong had been to Daxing City several times to pay homage, and he recognized this impressive army at a glance. He couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "It's actually the most elite Twelve Guards soldiers of the Sui Dynasty?"
Just as his mind was spinning, the Sui soldiers, like an arrow from the string, shot into the chaos behind the battlefield from the side, killing the rebels gathered by several generals at the rear and scattering them in all directions. escape.
The Sui soldiers on the frontal battlefield changed their formations again. The soldiers on the periphery quickly left the battlefield, "slid away" from both sides, crossed two arcs, and got into the rear of the enemy group. After reorganizing their formation, they came towards Fu Fuyu Xirong's rear army from the northeast, desperately squeezing the Khitan army into a range where they could not operate.
The generals of the Khitan rear army led the army and the Sui army to fight hard. Suddenly, people were turned upside down and corpses were everywhere.
In the wilderness, a war broke out again.
Time passed quickly. Although the Khitan army fought back bravely, in every aspect, it was inferior to the soldiers of the Sui army who were numerous, well-equipped and ready to work. In just half an hour, the Khitan army, including Fu Fuyu Xirong, was completely slaughtered by the Sui army.
. . . . . .
The Khitan army camp south of Bailangtou Dahu is the battlefield of the Turkic soldiers and the first battlefield to kill. At this moment, it has completely fallen into a melee. But the Khitan's defeat has been decided, and it is only a matter of time before it is completely defeated.
