The Turks and the Sui Dynasty fought for more than thirty years. Although they lost more than they won, they were still very experienced.
Among the Central Plains commanders they feared, Yang Shuang was first, Yang Su was second, and Shi Wansui was third. The first two were dead and the last one was old, so the Turks did not put the younger generation of generals in the Sui Dynasty.
In eyes.
Although they also knew that Li Jing was Yang Su's disciple.
But this time, Li Jing taught them a lesson properly. When the Dy was sounded, Qibi Geleng and Kang Sheoli retreated at the same time. The cavalry attacked the infantry. If you can't break the formation, you must retreat, because you have no more troops.
The greatest weapon of the cavalry is its impact.
They need to retreat a certain distance to provide space for the cavalry to charge.
But this time, they don't plan to rush again. They should wait for the main force. Anyway, Li Jing is here and he can't escape. They will be entangled tightly.
In this battle during the day, the Turks suffered heavy losses. More than 5,000 cavalrymen were killed on the spot, and their corpses were everywhere. Li Jing did not intend to clean up the corpses, because the corpses could very well block the momentum of the cavalry charge.
"Don't enter the city. Continue to retreat to Yiwu County. Send an order to General Manager Fan to recruit troops to stay in Zhangye and wait for my next military order. Immediately report to the capital and ask the prince to make a decision." Li Jing sent hundreds of rangers and rushed to
The counties in the rear reported the battle situation so that they could be prepared.
He planned to extend the front line and continue to pull the Turks toward the hinterland of Hexi to prevent the opponent's main force from being too concentrated. After all, the East and West Turks combined totaled more than 500,000 people, and he could not handle it head-on.
Just as Su Lie was slowly retreating, Yang Yuanqing's cavalry rushed back and told me some bad news. The main force of the East and West Turks had not come there. They were heading south, bypassing Linchuan City and heading straight for Yuwen.
Describe the direction.
Wang Wei, who was stationed in Yuwenshu, An Xiuren of Dunhuang County, and Fan Zigai of Zhangye County all retreated to Wuwei at the same time, hoping to gather troops in Wuwei to resist the Turkic cavalry.
"Yes!" All the ministers stood up one after another.
But Yang Ming received a death order.
Chen Yuan, the governor of Huanhan County, Li Zhuo (ai), the governor of Lintao County, Que Dushe, the governor of Huining County, Yu Qinwu, the governor of Longxi County, etc., are also gathering troops in a hurry.
At that time, Wei Jiaofu suddenly slapped his forehead: "Since you destroyed Tuyuhun and opened up the trade routes to the Western Regions, not a small number of people from the Western Regions have moved to the Central Plains to settle. Among them, the four surnames of Zhaowu are the minority. Shekui will be worried about this
If things go on like this, will the population of the Western Regions suffer a small loss?"
Yang Xuanting laughed: "The more possible it seems, the less likely it is. After all, you are still young. It is reasonable to lead troops to attack out of anger."
If you're behind him, you're still in front of him.
That was broken, and there was no roadblock behind, so we had to fight. After all, the speed of military information transmission between Wei Jiao and Yiwu County at this time was not as slow as the Turks' retreat eastward, resulting in misplaced information.
Hou Junji also said: "The infantry is rushing back or returning, but there is no cavalry and there is no time. They are afraid that I will attack the city, or that I will bypass the city. Wuwei County must defend it."
I am telling the truth. In the early Tang Dynasty, the Turks dared to be arrogant because of the small brawls in the late Sui Dynasty and the vitality of the Central Plains was slightly damaged. In the eyes of the Sui Dynasty, the population was in the growth stage and the sky was relatively stable. The Turks were indeed rash.
"Perhaps, it is to block your little Sui's exit from the west and suppress you in Hexi? Would it be convenient for the Turks to completely occupy the Western Region?" Lu Chu said.
In the small hall, Yang Yue said in a deep voice: "The capital's garrison must be mobilized that time. It will definitely allow the Turks to retreat into the capital and wreak havoc. Shanxi Dugu Huaien, Qiao Zhongkui, Lu Zhang, Liu Bing, and Zhang Dinghe can be mobilized for support.
Capital, your main force in Guanzhong will go west and set up defenses in Tianshui, Anding, and the eight counties of Longxi."
Li Jing nodded: "Su Lie is creating an opportunity for encirclement. You will definitely be able to defend Jingzhao in time. You will have to form a joint attack with Su Lie to defeat the main force that penetrates deep into Guanzhong. But there is enough time. Calculate the time. In
In Tianshui County, there must be no one who can block the main Turkic force and provide time for Jingzhao to recruit troops. Who among them is willing to go?"
"The military offices have slowed down the recruitment of troops. Wei Yunqi is responsible for recruiting civilians, with one person from every ten households. The weapons are prepared by Weiwei Temple. Yang Xuanting is the marching marshal. He must deploy defenses and stabilize Fufeng within seventy days. Government offices at all levels must do their best.
Cooperate."
In the small hall, no one said a word.
"We occupied the Northeast, I'm just unhappy," Yang Xuangan said, "You can only think of that."
"His idea makes no sense," Li Jing asked, "but what's the point of it?"
Yang Ming set out overnight with 10,000 fine cavalry and rushed to Tianshui. That was the only way to enter the pass. The worst road was to take it, and the main force of the Turks would definitely go there.
Then, Li Jing continued to give the order:
Yang Yue nodded and said: "If you do this or that, it will be bad. Send an envoy to contact Shekui and inform them that you, Xiao Sui, are willing to join forces with me to start and finish the attack together."
"It makes sense," Cui Zhongfang said: "Both sides came together. We are very vague about what will happen if we are alienated. Even if it is false and submissive, we will continue to maintain the alliance. Furthermore, you are from the country.
You have to show off your strength, otherwise the two sides will only become more arrogant now."
The four surnames of Zhaowu were the poorest group of people in the Western Regions. The poor people stopped migrating to Xiaosui, which was a serious blow to the Western Regions.
Yang Xuanting shook his head: "Shekui may not have that intention, but it may not be the beginning. What does the Western Region trade route have to do with me? The Turks have always invaded your Xiaosui border, and they always left before plundering, but
Did we go around the city that time and just plunder the countryside along the way to stock up on food and grass? Do we think we can attack the capital?"
Yang Ming stood up and said: "I will go there eventually."
Mingya, the Minister of War, explained: "General Manager Fan of Wuwei County has not been able to block the Turkic army. It has not been defeated yet. Su Lie is retreating to the direction of Wuwei. Before joining forces with Fan Zigai, he will go straight to Longxi. I am
I am also following two small armies from the East and West Turks. Yiwu County has set up defenses in Jincheng County, but it is blocked or not. Is there any military intelligence report at the moment? If it is blocked or blocked, I will move closer to Guanzhong."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, along the entire Hexi line, the consumption of various troops and horses on the East and West Turks is very huge. Whether your infantry outruns or outruns them, but
The front line is too long, and the entire field is filled with cavalry.
Because the place is so big, he can still use it even with a small army, so Wei Jiao's 10,000 men have to be able to block it, but it's just a question of how long they can block it.
Just like that, a large-scale tug-of-war started in the Hexi Corridor of Xiaosui.
"We are going to Yiwu but intend to retreat to Guanzhong," Su Lie said solemnly: "We will use the cavalry on the opposite side to hold you back, and then use the main force to drive straight in. That way, Guanzhong will be safe."
It's obvious that whoever goes will be cannon fodder, and will die for the rest of his life.
Ten thousand elite troops were in Tianshui County and they were all wiped out. Yang Ming knew their whereabouts.
The Eastern and Western Turks are not that urinary. Because they have the same roots and the same species, the Eastern and Western Turks have always fought when they wanted to fight and made peace when they wanted to make peace.
Li Jing shook his head: "You think you understand."
Yang Yue thought so: "If I have such a success, if I am really unhappy, I will definitely order Ashina Dubi and Ashina Bulili in the east of the Turks to set up two troops to attack the northeast. It will be an invasion of you."
Guanzhong, I can tell which bad guy to attack. I am afraid that Shibi’s intention is to worry that your Central Plains will decline and you will deal with me sooner or later, so we unite with Shegui to consume your national power and delay your Xiao Sui’s time to use troops against me."
"Now that you have limited time, you can delay the recruitment of troops. There will be one person from every ten households in Jingzhao, and Wei Jiaofu will be the marching general manager to resist the enemy to the west of Jingzhao. At the same time, troops must be mobilized in Luoyang," Wei Xuan suggested
road.
"If it weren't for that reason, how could I be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? After all, I went to Jiangdu to see Your Majesty," Li Jing said in a deep voice:
Cui Zhongfang said: "Conscription is a bad conscription. All the money must be spent there. If there is no government funding to maintain administration in other places, I am afraid something will happen."
Yang Xuanting pondered for a long time and then explained: "Logically speaking, we should have the courage. Even if we don't have 700,000 cavalry, it is just a fantasy to break through the pass. What are we thinking?"
"Want to control the pricing power of the Western Region trade routes?" Yang Yue frowned.
At that time, the tiger talisman was needed. The prince ordered not to recruit a small army at the critical moment, because the prince had no responsibility to defend the land, and the Turks were approaching Guanzhong. It was all a battle to defend the country. The tiger talisman was still in Jiangdu, so there was no time to send it.
Yiwu County is also a ruthless person. I directly led my troops to block the 10,000 troops in front of the Turkic Palace. It was my actions that disrupted Su Lie's plan.
"Cooperation will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms," Yang Yue said: "You are willing to help the Western Turks, and Pei Ju is causing trouble in the Northeast. Both sides are blaming you. The Turks are not ambitious at all, but have their own intentions."
Wei Jiao said calmly: "First of all, you have to be confused about one thing. Why do we dare to come? Everyone thinks we should, but we still come. Such a small-scale use of troops must be unprofitable. What do we want?
?”
In the capital, Wei Jiao, who received the report, was not as panicked as everyone expected.
The Turkic army's morale was shaken, because despite our absolute superiority, Wei Jiao killed less than 10,000 people. The corpses of war horses and sergeants could be seen everywhere in Tianshui County.
"I will fight to the death to stop him," Yang Ming knelt down on one knee.
The two worked together again before they were separated from each other in the Battle of Goguryeo.
Wei Jiao dared to delay, and directly ordered all the seven cavalrymen except Yang Yuanqing to go towards Wuwei County. Wei Jiaofu's troops retreated at the slowest speed, while Cui Hongsheng and I stayed behind to resist the pursuing troops.
Li Jing narrowed his eyes: "You give him 10,000 fine cavalry, and he must hold you back in Tianshui County for at least one day. The large enemy army cannot be retreated, but the main force must be stopped by you."
"Seeing that you have destroyed Goguryeo and sent troops to the Northeast, the territory has been expanding inward, and sooner or later it will expand to my area, so while the main force of Shekui is also there, I might as well work together to consume you. After all, I am alone.
You definitely don’t have the guts.”
Wei Jiao was not satisfied with our double-dealing.
Li Jing stood up and went to the map in the center of the small hall and asked: "Su Lie, where are we now?"
However, Yang Xuanting had not yet followed his small army of 80,000 men and had retreated to Fufeng County. Troops were also gathering in the direction of Anding County, with Wei Xuan as the chief general.
At the same time, the counties in Longxi that received the news were also recruiting troops urgently.
As a result, there were ten thousand people between Su Lie and Yiwu County, with Qibi Geling and Kang Sheoli behind them. Su Lie's original intention was that in front of Cui Hongsheng Palace, I, Yiwu County and the main force of the capital would go deep into Guanzhong.
All the enemy troops were trapped.
Pei Renji's heart beat faster when he saw this. He is your son-in-law. If he dies, your daughter-in-law will be widowed.
Xu Shiji said: "You must pass through Wuwei when entering Guanzhong. We have to stop him at Wuwei County. As for the capital, we cannot give the prince time to recruit a small army."
The battlefield is inherently ever-changing, and it does not rely on adaptability.
