Chapter 073: Digging Your Own Grave

The Turkic cavalry formation on the battlefield fell apart, and many soldiers on the edge fled in all directions. Those who could not escape were like headless flies, cut into small pieces by the fierce Sui army and devoured one by one.

The officers and soldiers of the Sui army were all red-eyed and launched a wave-like offensive against the Turkic soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were the elite who survived the troubled times. Even after the Sui Dynasty unified the world, they continued to fight against the Turks. Therefore, these officers and soldiers of the Sui army are all veterans who have survived hundreds of battles. Their combat effectiveness and fighting will are rare in history. This is

This was also the reason why Daxi Changru dared to fight against the Turkic army of more than 100,000 soldiers with two thousand soldiers. They fought with the Turks for three days, and they ran out of weapons. The soldiers used their fists to

For weapons, he continued to fight with the Turkic army, so that the bones in his hands were exposed. Daxi Changru himself also suffered five wounds, two of which were puncture wounds. Almost all the two thousand soldiers he led died in the battle, but

It caused tens of thousands of casualties to the Turkic army. As a result, the morale of the Turkic army dropped sharply and they did not dare to advance towards the heart of the Sui Dynasty. The Turks burned the corpses of Paoze and left in tears.

The soldiers led by Yang Ji were also veterans of many battles, so although they were very tired, they fought against the Turkic soldiers with their tenacious will. When they saw that the Turkic soldiers had been defeated, they all summoned up their remaining strength and continued to fight the remaining Turks.

Encirclement and annihilation of the enemy.

Although the officers and soldiers did not know the poem "It is better to pursue the poor bandits bravely, but not to be a famous scholar", all the officers and soldiers of the Sui army, including the wounded soldiers, interpreted the definition of this poem with real actions.

Moreover, they are all veterans of hundreds of battles. The many bloody lessons that have happened in the past have taught them the principle of "beating a snake but not dying, but suffering its consequences", so when killing the enemy, no one is merciful.

The Turkic soldiers who were brutally surrounded and annihilated by the Sui army looked desperately at the enemies coming from all directions. Everyone felt that the Sui army's soldiers had suddenly increased countless times.

Naturally, the Sui army will not increase in number, and Yang Ji does not have any spare soldiers to go into the war. The reason why the Turkic soldiers feel that the Sui army has increased is because more and more Sui armies have completed their encirclement and suppression tasks and have come to help.

This gave the Turkic soldiers the illusion that the more they fought, the more enemy troops they would get.

"It's over, it's all over!" Tanhan Khan left the battlefield in embarrassment under the protection of a few followers and Tuojie. Looking at the dwindling number of warriors being divided and surrounded, he closed his eyes in pain and hated

He cursed with hatred: "Yang Shuang is a damn devil, even if he dies, he will be against me."

To this day, he still thinks that Yang Shuang ran out of hell to fight against him. He can't blame him for feeling this way. In fact, except for the change of the leader, there is no other difference between the soldiers. The soldiers are all Yang Shuang.

The battle flag of Yang Shuang's personal soldiers was also Yang Shuang's usual battle flag, and even the "Penetrating Armor Black Gold" in Yang Ji's hand belonged to Yang Shuang.

Because Yang Ji is Yang Shuang's only son, everyone among the soldiers is worried that he will be injured. Everyone wants to kill a few more people to reduce the pressure on the young master, so the combat effectiveness of this army is more powerful than before.

As Tan Khan fled, more and more Turkic soldiers panicked and were annihilated one by one by the Sui army.

"Let them go, the army will cover them up from behind!" Yang Ji threw the body of a Turkic centurion away and shouted sternly.

This is the encirclement of three battles. If the Sui army made a gesture of encircling and annihilating the Turkic soldiers, these Turkic soldiers who had no way to escape would definitely carry it to the end; if they saw the hope of survival, very few defeated troops would choose to carry it to the end.

, this will not only reduce the loss of your own troops, but also kill the enemy from behind more calmly and easily.

"As you command!"

Several burly soldiers took off the horns from their backs. Seeing that their companions were ready, they puffed up their cheeks and started blowing hard.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Amidst the continuous sound of horns, the former army deputy generals Xue Ju and Su Quan, the right army general Li Datong and deputy general Liu Tongren, who heard the commander's order, and generals at all levels ordered the soldiers of their headquarters to change their formations, and quickly ordered the soldiers to regroup.

, prepare to follow the trumpet's order and launch another attack.

Although the Turkic soldiers didn't know why the Sui army suddenly kindly let them go, the desire to survive had already filled everyone's hearts. At this moment, seeing the light ahead, they all tried their best to fight their horses and ran towards the north where the tribe was.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Yang Ji's personal soldiers were the most elite troops in the entire army, and were even more powerful than the Donggong Iron Guards who formed the front army. After Yang Ji stopped pursuing, they broke away from the battle and closely guarded Yang Ji. At this time,

Seeing the Turkic soldiers passing by, they stabbed the horses with spears and shot them with crossbows, forcing the painful horses to accelerate wildly and crash into the horses in front, only to make the Turkic soldiers collapse.

After the defeated troops had almost fled, the army then covered up their tribe from behind and directly killed them. Using them as "cannon fodder", they drove away the tribe of Tan Khan Khan's headquarters, and another massacre followed. Although Tan Khan could

Khan and many of his people fled to the north, but his tribe was completely finished.

Unfortunately, after an inventory, the Sui army also lost more than 600 people. This was still the result of using the fire horse charge. If they were to withstand the charge of the Turkic soldiers, the casualties would definitely increase several times.

Despite this, it still made Yang Ji very heartbroken. He knew that this was the result of fatigue fighting. If the soldiers had a good rest and everyone could face the enemy with high morale and strong fighting power, and supplemented by fire and horse formations, the casualty rate would definitely be higher.

Reduce by hundreds of people.

But as the commander of an army, you must have a heart of stone and make some sacrifices for the sake of the general situation.

If he encounters this kind of situation again next time, even if he doesn't want to at all costs, he will do it, he must do it.

"Your Highness, there are men, women, old and young among the Turkic prisoners. How should we deal with these people?" Su Quan had a high level of education and concurrently served as a marching commander. After counting, he reported to Yang Ji and emphasized the words "men, women, old and young".

"We are the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty who are here to cause destruction. Burning them all and killing them all is our only mission now. Except for ourselves, everyone is an enemy. There is no difference between men, women, old and young. Every time we kill an 'enemy'

, we will have less danger and more vitality

"So we don't want prisoners on the battlefield." Yang Ji looked at the prisoners in the distance and said calmly: "The only kindness I can give them now is to let them die in peace. Let them dig a big hole.

Then kill them and bury them all inside."

"I humbly obey my orders." Su Dan felt solemn in his heart, bowed in response, and turned around to leave.



After the order was issued, Yang Ji stopped caring about the affairs of Tanhan Khan's tribe and walked slowly along the Xiongnu River.

Li Daliang quickly led his soldiers to follow.

Zhang Chuchen, Liu Rumei, and Murong Xianyue, the three commanders of the Suzaku Guards, glanced at each other and followed with their only four soldiers. They learned dexterous martial arts skills and fought alone one on one. Who among them would

They were not afraid, but the majestic battlefield was a war that they were not qualified for, so they did not participate in the war from beginning to end, but guarded Yang Ji nearby when he was resting.

Yang Ji didn't go too far, left the noisy tribal camp, and sat down on a piece of grass.

Tan Khan has fled north, and he will definitely organize young men to fight in the front. If he pursues him at this time, he may encounter the tribe in front and attack him. However, the Sui army is no longer able to fight and must stop to rest, otherwise

If they do, this army will be useless. But once it stops, they will encounter more tough battles in the future.

This is a dilemma. You can't have the best of both worlds. You can only take one step at a time. Sometimes you think too much and get confused.

Liu Rumei was more attentive than Zhang Chuchen, and Murong Xianyue was attentive. When she saw Yang Ji alone, she swept away her aloofness and suddenly became worried. She guessed that Yang Ji had something difficult to decide in his heart, but he didn't want to affect the morale of the army, so a

People carried it silently.

She thought for a while, then walked forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"

"No." Yang Ji sighed and asked, "You said I would kill them all, right?"

"I, I don't know." Liu Rumei felt a little uneasy. As an assassin, she started killing people at the age of fourteen. If her previous master Yang Su and now Yang Ji asked her to assassinate the emperor, she would still dare to do it, but

She just happens to be in awe of hierarchy.

This may seem contradictory, but in fact it is not so when she is outside a certain circle. She can flout all the rules in the circle, and there is nothing she must respect and obey. But when she willingly enters another circle

When she is in a circle, she must comply with everything in this circle.

She is no longer an assassin, killer, or slave now, but she has a new meaning in life because of Yang Ji. She cherishes everything now, so she jumps into a new circle and is bound by new rules.

Yang Ji asked casually: "Don't you have any ideas of your own?"

"I don't think I have one." Liu Rumei looked at Yang Ji blankly and asked in a daze, "But should I have one?"

"..." Yang Ji was speechless.

Liu Rumei became even more uneasy, racked her brains for a while, and whispered: "If Your Highness kills them like this, will they take revenge?"

"The grassland people believe in the wolf's survival law. If you don't kill them, they will kill you. So revenge is normal, but we can't let them go just because we are afraid of revenge." Yang Ji said: "We don't want them to

Revenge is actually very simple, that is, kill them so that they dare not retaliate."

"What does Your Highness need from me?" Liu Rumei thought she had a mission and asked quickly.

Yang Ji lay down on the grass and closed his eyes tiredly: "Let me sleep for a while."

"????" Liu Rumei misunderstood, her face turned red and her heart was extremely tangled.
