Two hundred and sixtieth chapters: The Battle of Yanmen Pass Eight
Seeing that the Turks on the top of the city were finally driven off, the generals and officials on the top of the city also breathed a sigh of relief. Having so many Turks on the top of the city was really a great threat to them. Pressure, now that these Turks have been killed, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked at Lai Huer with admiration. Being able to remain calm in such a situation, Lai Huer deserves to be a famous general in the world.
However, Lai Huer had no intention of enjoying the admiring gazes of the generals. His eyes were fixed on the movements outside the pass. As the horn sounded, the Turks outside the pass began to retreat like a tide. This pitied those who The Turks were still climbing on the rope. They couldn't get up or down. They didn't know what to do for a while. The imperial guards on the city didn't give them time to think about it. Hundreds of archers poked their heads out. Come, shoot at the Turks on the city wall indiscriminately, and with the stones thrown down, the Turks hanging on the city wall will be cleared out immediately.
At the same time, the door creaked open again, and countless Royal Forest Army cavalry rushed out from the pass and rushed towards the retreating Turks. The Imperial Guards were also human beings. They had been trapped in the pass by the Turks before, and they did not even fight back. They had no chance at all. They had been holding back their anger for a long time, and now they had the chance to vent it. They worked hard, but in this way, those Turks who fell behind were unlucky and were chased by the Imperial Guard cavalry. A spanking on the back would result in numerous casualties in a short period of time.
However, the military discipline of the Royal Guards was strict. The military order given by the guard before was to chase the enemy for one mile. The Royal Guards cavalry did not dare to exceed this limit. After chasing for about a mile, the Royal Guards cavalry immediately stopped, turned around and started again. After returning to the pass, he closed the door, leaving only corpses on the ground outside the pass.
Although this battle was a bit frustrating at the beginning, the result was very satisfying. In the past few days, the command of the battlefield was in the hands of the emperor. Although the Turks were repelled in the end, the losses of the defenders were very serious. , where is it as hearty as today? All of this is naturally due to the excellent command of Lai Huer. The veteran on the battlefield took action, and it is indeed extraordinary.
Dugu Sheng stepped forward with excitement and said to Lai Hu'er: "Old General, our army has won a great victory. Why not take advantage of the victory to pursue and drive these barbarians back to the grassland in one go?" Dugu Sheng's character is inherently impulsive and belligerent. , otherwise he would not have almost made a big mistake just now. Now seeing his troops and horses winning a complete victory, Dugu Sheng felt very itchy and wished he could go down immediately and lead the army to charge again.
"Humph," Lai Hu'er snorted coldly, but glanced at Dugu Sheng. This glance immediately made Dugu Sheng feel cold all over. He originally wanted to say something, but those words stuck in his mouth. There, I couldn't say anything. Lai Hu'er just glanced at Dugu Sheng, then turned back and hummed: "It's really different compared to Dugu Kai."
Coming to protect his children was just a word like this, but he made Dugu Sheng blush with shame. He lowered his head and retreated like this. He chased. What a joke. You really think that the hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry outside the city are just decorations. Although The Turks who came to protect the children now have been able to repel the Turks, but that was only temporary. The most important thing is that the Turks retreated not because they were defeated, but to reduce losses. If they really follow what Dugu Sheng said, they would have to leave the border. In pursuit, no matter how many lives there are, it won't be enough.
Lai Hu'er ignored the ashamed Dugu Sheng and let out a long sigh of relief. Even though Lai Hu'er had always looked like he was sure of victory before, in fact, facing such a huge disparity in military strength, Lai Hu'er was also heartbroken. It's just that in front of the soldiers, Lai Huer must show a calm and decisive appearance in order to stabilize the morale of the army. Now that the battle has been won, the heart that has been hanging in the throat before can be put down. Lai Huer immediately is assigned. The manpower counted the battlefield, and of course, they did not forget to send people to the pass to report the results of the battle to the emperor. After making these arrangements, Lai Huer came to the parapet. Looking outside the pass, he began to worry about Lai Hong and Lai Li who had broken out. Two brothers.
At the same time, in the Turkic camp dozens of miles outside the pass, watching the soldiers who had just suffered a defeat return to the camp, both Shibi and Elifushu looked ugly, and Elifushu gritted his teeth and groaned. : "Damn Han dog, brother, let me personally lead the research tomorrow. I don't believe it. A mere Yanmen Pass can still stop the warriors on our grasslands. After I enter the pass, I must attack all the people in the pass." All the Han dogs were slaughtered."
"Okay, stop talking," Shi Bi's face turned livid. He originally saw the opponent using artillery, so Shi Bi ordered the troops to retreat in order to reduce losses. However, he did not expect that the Sui army would take this opportunity to launch an attack. Counterattack. After today's battle, the casualties have reached two to three thousand people. Most of them died in the final counterattack of the Sui army. After taking a deep breath, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart and waved his hand. He hummed: "Don't be impulsive. Yanmen Pass is a dangerous pass leading to the Central Plains. I expected it to be difficult to break. This time I was too careless and fell into the opponent's scheme. We will definitely be able to break through this pass tomorrow." , when the time comes, we will take the head of the Dog Emperor to pay homage to the warriors who died on the battlefield today,"
After Shibi said so, Elifushu naturally didn't say much. He just continued to curse with a full face. Shibi didn't bother to offend his second brother, but turned his head and continued to direct the soldiers into the camp. Fortunately, Although they suffered a huge defeat today, they did not suffer much loss from the Turkic army. Compared to the 300,000-strong army, two or three thousand people were indeed nothing. At least, this was within the range that Shibi could bear.
"Stepping on stepping," half of the soldiers who entered the camp, suddenly, there was a rushing horseshoe sound from the north of the camp. Just by hearing the sound of horse hooves, one could tell that they were war horses unique to the grassland, and there were many of them. The two of them frowned at the same time, but when they looked back, their expressions changed drastically.
To the north of the camp, a cavalry team was seen rushing towards this direction. Shibi and Elifosu recognized it at a glance. This team was the same team that their third brother Duoxin had taken away before. But now the troops and horses are in a loose formation, and all the soldiers on the horses are wounded. Duoxin took away more than a thousand people before, but now only less than fifty people have returned. .
Both Shibi and Elifushu were startled. They looked at each other and without saying a word, they rode up to meet each other. Before they even got close to each other, Shibi shouted loudly: "Duh-xin, duh-xin." Where is,"
Seeing Shi Bi coming to greet him in person, the Turkic cavalry immediately rushed towards Shi Bi. When they arrived in front of Shi Bi, a group of cavalry reined in their mounts and saluted Shi Bi and Elifushe on horseback. , and Du Xin, the third younger brother of Shi Bi among them, also rode out, saluted to Shi Bi and said: "Brother, Du Xin, Du Xin has let you down,"
Seeing Du Xin, Shi Bi and Elifushu's expressions immediately turned livid. Although Du Xin still straightened his back as before, his upper body was covered with blood stains, especially his Duoxin's arms and shoulders had been tightly bandaged with cloth strips, showing that Duoxin had more than one injury.
Shi Bi frowned. Although Duoxin's skills were the worst among the three brothers, he was still considered a good player. Usually three or four Turkic warriors were no match for him alone, but now Duoxin led more than a thousand Turks. The cavalry went to stop a mere 500 Sui army cavalry. Not only did they return defeated, but they also had so many injuries on their bodies. This was an incredible result for Shibi. Shibi had a gloomy face and asked in a deep voice: " Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
Du Xin smiled bitterly and reached out to touch the wounds on his body, shook his head, and then said: "Brother, I lost this time, and I was convinced. That Sui general is the most powerful I have ever seen in my life." People, I, are not as good as him,"
The biggest advantage of a prairie man is that he is outspoken. If he loses, he loses, and he will never find other excuses to cover up this. Duoxin is a real prairie man, and after hearing what Duoxin said, he knew that he How arrogant are the brothers? Shibi and Elifushe were both more and more surprised that Duoxin could admit so simply that he was inferior to his opponent. It seemed that the Sui general was quite capable. Elifushe immediately asked the question Said: "Hey, what is the name of that Sui general? He is really that powerful."
When the two groups of Sui soldiers broke through before, Duoxin had already been sent to intercept the Sui soldiers heading north. In the eyes of Elifushu, Duoxin must be easy to capture, so he didn't pay more attention to that side. On the contrary, Focusing on Laihong's side, Eliphesus didn't even see how the other Sui army that broke through escaped, and that's why he asked the question just now.
After Duoxin listened to Elifushu's question, he couldn't help but clenched his fist, then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "That man's power is simply beyond my imagination. It's really hard to believe. "Among the weak Han people, there can be such a powerful person. As for that person's name, I also asked, his name is, come, Zheng,"
After breaking through from Yanmen Pass, there were only about fifty people left behind Lai Hong. However, Lai Hong did not relax, but accelerated his speed and ran towards the direction of Nao County. The Emperor was besieged at Yanmen Pass. Lai Hong must deliver the secret letter on his body to Wan He in Nao County as soon as possible, so that Wan He can quickly come to rescue him with his troops.
However, even if Laihong wanted to rush to Nao County, behind him, the pursuers were chasing after him. Laihong did not dare to relax at all. He could only grit his teeth and run forward as hard as he could. ,
