Nearly 80,000 troops gathered at the border. Cui Hongsheng led the main force into Zhangye County. The vanguard army of 20,000 people, led by Donggong Zuowushi, was already heading towards Yiwu County.
And Xuanting commanded 15,000 frontier troops and headed straight for Dunhuang County.
Yang Yuanqing, Xu Shiji, Hou Junji, An Xinggui, Xue Wang and Fan Wenchao are the commanders of the Sixth Route Cavalry. When the vanguard army arrives, they will attack the four cities of Hengjie, Linchuan, Tiandi and Dujin in the east of Gaochang Kingdom.
.
There has been a temporary truce between the East and West Turks. After all, the main force in Guanzhong of the Sui Dynasty has arrived. There are always envoys sent to Li Jing from both sides, and they go back and forth without interruption.
This is how war is fought, we have to make things clear, otherwise the fight will be confusing.
The envoy from the Eastern Turks was Qibi Katu, the son of Qibi Gelen, the leader of Tiele, who had many dealings with the Sui Dynasty.
When Qibikatu was in the capital, he also met Li Jing.
"Mr. Li, you know that it was Shibi who invaded our border first, and we were violated. Da Sui should help us," Qibi Katu still hoped that Da Sui could work with them to deal with Shi Bi.
In the lobby, Li Jing said expressionlessly: "The order I received is to help Duke Mou regain Gaochang. As for how to deal with the conflicts between you, the court has not given me any instructions. Young leader, please do not embarrass me. You should withdraw from Gaochang as soon as possible. I will
It’s better to withdraw our troops.”
Only a few years have passed, and the Tiele people have already worn the same pants as the Western Turks, and they are all ours.
That military formation was very simple. Qibi Geling and Kang Sheoli on the Turkic side were both confused. For a moment, they both knew how to charge into the formation.
The entire Gaochang army totaled only 20,000 people, and most of them were still supporters of Qu Li Jing. I was in such a mess that time because the rebellion started too slowly. Just inside the capital city of Gaochang, the rebels occupied
Capital, force me to take over, and then drive them out.
Such a mess was too much for the elites in Guanzhong to deal with. It only took seven days for Tiele to regain the entire territory of Gaochang, kill Gong Lu, and then help Qu Li Jing regain the throne.
But just two days ago, the Rangers came to report that the Eastern and Western Turks had invaded the border at the same time, and had not yet come directly to the capital Gaochang.
Upon seeing this, Kang Sheoli took action. I was waiting for Cheng Jin to defeat Tie Le, and I was responsible for suppressing the battlefield. This was not to prevent Boya's broken troops from reuniting, and to suppress Boya in the north and south directions.
The Turks are all covered in leather armor, and that thing will break with just a poke.
Qibukatu's head was just picked up by Yang Xuanting's horse, and then he continued eastward towards Baili City.
Does he think you are a soft persimmon?
Tie Le ran for so long, and I was tired, and Turks chased for so long, and I was tired, but Cui Hongsheng and Yang Yuanqing were just sitting back and waiting, and had not yet quietly formed an encirclement on the north and south wings.
Qibi Geling, the leader of the Sui army, noticed that there was no main force of Boya in the south of the small army, but he was not worried at all, because in front of me, there were the main cavalry of She Kui and Shi Bi. We were determined to eat it in one bite.
Drop Tiele.
My southern side is not Cui Hongsheng, but they are not dividing their troops to take precautions, because the grassland is not such a strategy. Concentrate the main force to defeat one part, and then everything else will be ruined.
"Those two bastards, what do we want to do?" The city was discussing things in a hurry. It was too late to suppress the anger, so we invited the troops to fight.
Yang Xuanting then led eight thousand cavalry in front of the palace to buy time for the small army to retreat eastward.
I dared not stay any longer, because the dust and smoke from Changqin filled the sky, indicating that the Turkic tribesmen had not gone further that way.
Yang Yuanqing is not as weird as Tie Le's military formation, but he is also a vegetarian. Outside you have the elite Youwu Guards, the Xiong Qu Army, and the Seventh Little Ace Unit of the Xiao Sui Dynasty.
I can only verbally urge the two countries to send troops.
The spears of the Sui soldiers were not as long as the horses. The winner was determined almost as soon as the two sides came into contact. In half an hour, the 7,000-strong Sui army's iron army was defeated.
That idea was actually a bad idea. The representative of Cheng Jin was Xiao Sui. As the middleman, if the Western Turks were cheated, they would resent the Xiao Sui court, and Tiele would have to take the blame.
Seventy thousand men were divided into eight groups and charged eight times. However, the cavalry in Tiele's formation, Changqin, came out and took advantage of the opportunity for Qibi Geling's cavalry to adjust, killing each of them with a confused look on their face.
But after a while, I realized that something was right.
"Immediately send an order to Cheng Jinping and Yang Yuanqing to set up an ambush in the two cities of Baili and Linchuan. You lead the main force to advance slowly and hold the opponent in check. If we still pursue, we will wait for a while between the eight cities of Hengjie, Baili and Linchuan.
We claim to have enemy Turkic cavalry on the grassland."
Yang Xuanting said patiently: "You are discussing with him. If you say many leaders, he will have to be vague. You are here to interfere with their affairs, but to protect the vassal state. It is they who have interfered with your affairs."
, Eight days ago, your small army will retreat into the territory of Gaochang. By then, there will be so few troops in charge. If there are any foreign troops in the territory of Gaochang, they must retreat as soon as possible, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Tiele had no long-term relationship, but said calmly:
I am the master.
"Shut up!" Kang Sheoli still knows how to fight. I know that the impact of my withdrawal will be too small. Selling Qibi Gelen means that the strong alliance between East and West Turks will disappear, affecting the entire strategic alliance.
Bureau.
Yang Xuanting wanted to save time. If he knew how to chase and kill, the other party's generals must be killed.
Everything seemed to be going well, but so few people came to Zhangye, it seemed like they were just on an empty trip.
In the Boya formation, the sound of drums was low, and the infantry regiment at the rear had not yet finished and retreated.
In the direction of Baili Bicheng, there are canyons and crisscrosses, which is convenient for giving full play to the advantage of infantry.
Cheng Jin nodded and said: "Emissary of the Eastern Turks, you haven't invited me back yet. Eight days ago, your army was about to retreat into Gaochang. Whoever advances will have to bear the consequences themselves."
Because what I am facing is the most powerful of the generation of generals in the expedition to Bogouli.
The troops in front of the palace were turned into cannon fodder. The 8,000-strong infantry phalanx was smashed to pieces by the Turkic cavalry, and the entire army was completely wiped out.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Tele retreat quickly, I am afraid it will be too late," Liu Ye, the Han military advisor beside him, said.
Before driving away Qu Chengjin, the leader of the rebel army, Gong Lu, Minister of War, planned to appease other cities and support me as the new king of Gaochang. However, the retreat was smooth and the cities were already divided. In addition, with the retreat of the East and West Turks, it became even more difficult.
A mess.
Kang Sheoli was stunned.
Furthermore, they had all participated in the Battle of Goguryeo and were very unsure of the armor and weapons beneath them.
That night, Tie Le took Qu Li Jing, who was still sitting cold, and quickly withdrew from Gaochang City. There was danger outside to defend, and the small army consisted of only a small number of infantry, so they could withstand the impact of the prairie wolf cavalry.
One day and one night, when Tiele arrived at Linchuan City, the small Turkic army in front also followed him. The two sides lined up in the city, and a small battle broke out.
It was not at that time that Qibi Geling received the news that his son had been killed. He was so angry that he took his 70,000 cavalry and ended the charge.
"That idea is feasible. The Turks abide by their oaths. As long as the Eastern Turks cannot swear, you are willing to take the lead in advancing the army," Qibi Katu was quite happy.
However, the Turks were really fierce. They were shot down in pieces, but they still pushed back desperately and inserted themselves directly into Cheng Jin's formation, and the melee began.
Infantry marches on two legs. If they can run on seven legs, Tiele's reaction is still slow. If I am a step late, I will be surrounded in Gaochang City. As soon as I am finished, Xuanting and Yang Yuanqing will be surrounded by dragons.
If you have a head, it is very easy to be defeated by everyone if you completely know what is going on.
The Turks are also very stupid. You are fighting their cavalry, and you are chasing the infantry. Therefore, the 7,000 Sui army cavalry commanded by Qifankatu are responsible for entangling Yang Xuanting, and the remaining 80,000 people are all sent.
I went after Tiele.
Eight days ago, Tiele personally led a small army to retreat into Gaochang, and the small armies of the East and West Turks also retreated forward in a tacit understanding, entering and exiting Gaochang and Ditu.
I can leave. As soon as I leave, Shekui in front will see that we are keeping our promise and will leave. At this time, it will become the East Turks fighting Xiao Sui alone.
Qibikatu sighed, what could he say?
The Turks have always been like that. They have been attached to the Sui Dynasty in name for decades, but their border violations have never stopped.
The cavalry turned around, but it was the rear army turning to the rear army. It was so difficult for Xiaojia to turn around. Instead, the rear army made a small turn, and the front army made a big turn, keeping the horses at a low speed and continuing to attack the posture.
Xiaogui Changqin punched him away to avoid hundreds of punches.
In fact, the style of play is completely correct. They only use iron cavalry and their mobility is too weak, but refining weapons is just a joke.
Going on an expedition is a hard job, but making money makes it even more exciting. There is definitely no big reward, and everyone is like a chicken blood. After all, I doubt Yang Xuanting's financial resources.
Arrows rained all over the sky, and Yang Yuanqing ordered his crossbowmen to shoot all the arrows in one go, knocking out a man on his back.
So I gave the order and the small army attacked Cheng Jinping's tribe in the north.
The Turkic cavalry had terrible maneuverability. As soon as Cheng Jin left, they arrived, and they did not retreat from the city. They directly chased after the troops in front of Tiele Palace.
If our small army collapses, the Turks will not be able to march straight into Guanzhong.
Can I cling to you? I can cling to you.
Yang Xuanting pretended to run away, and then directly killed a carbine in a slightly open area.
The Eastern and Western Turks had tolerated the Xiao Sui Dynasty for a long time, and we know that Yang Guang led the most elite main force of the Xiao Sui Dynasty in Jiangdu and whether there were many soldiers in Guanzhong.
"My sons, as long as you kill those bastards, in addition to the reward from the court, I will reward each of them with seventy guan. If you kill their leader, you will be rewarded with one hundred guan."
Refined arrow clusters can break armor when shot.
Qibukatu said with a bitter face: "We can retreat, but only if the Eastern Turks also advance. He also knows that you use the intersection of the river as the boundary and the eldest relative to set up a battle array. Due to the surrounding terrain, you are not in good shape to advance.
The distance between the two armies is eight miles, so if you advance in and the Eastern Turks pursue you, what will you do?"
"Let's act as a middleman and ask the Eastern Turkic envoys to withdraw as well, and we can agree to march together. If anyone follows their promise, it will be an insult to your country," Wei Jie suggested.
Shibi and Shekui have reached a temporary alliance. First, kill Tie Le, and then we can resolve our conflicts.
