Two hundred and seventy seventh chapter: The Battle of Yanmen Pass Nineteen
"Yes, yes," witch doctors have a high prestige among Turkic civilians. Many Turkic civilians even regard them as the spokespersons of the gods. But this method does not work in front of Shibi. The witch doctor can listen to Shibi's words. , he immediately nodded his head like a little chicken, for fear of making Shibi unhappy, and made him click.
In any case, Elifushe's injury was finally stabilized, and Shi Bi and Elifushe were finally relieved. Next, they have to wait for news about Kang Sheoli.
Let's talk about Kang Sheoli. Following Shibi's orders, he took more than two thousand Turkic cavalry and went straight to the hill where the Sui army was stationed. The original order from Shibi was to let Kang Sheoli explore the opponent's details and bring him with him. It was inconvenient to have too many people. When he came to the foot of the hill, Kang Sheoli first stopped the soldiers and horses behind him, and then looked up at the camp on the hill. It was still early afternoon, and the sun was hanging high in the sky. Kang Sheoli He clearly saw the densely packed military flags on the hill. Then, Kang Sheoli made a gesture to a sergeant behind him. The sergeant nodded, took a step forward, and shouted loudly: "Hey, the soldiers on the mountain are here." Han dogs, come out and fight,"
The sergeant had a loud voice, which was specially used to call for formation. As his shouts went through the hills, it didn't take long for the camp door to open slowly, and a group of soldiers and horses ran down from the hills. Look, The number of soldiers and horses was only over 5,000. They were all well-equipped and neatly arranged. At first glance, you could tell that they were well-trained elite divisions. The leader was a general, holding two huge copper hammers and wearing a uniform. The brown armor looks like he is only about twenty years old, but he is majestic.
Kang Sheoli couldn't help but frown when he saw the general in front of him. Some time ago, in order to contact the Li family, he stayed in Taiyuan for a long time, and he got to know many generals in Taiyuan, but he had never seen this young general before him. However, from this point of view, the army in front of him was no longer the Taiyuan Army. Thinking of this, Kang Sheoli curled his lips, took a step forward on his horse, and shouted loudly: "I don't know how dare you come here to do such trouble, why don't you hurry up?" Retreat and wait until the Dog Emperor is dead so that you can save your heads,"
"Hmph," the young general holding the double hammer shouted in a cold voice: "A mere barbarian dares to attack our Sui Dynasty. Now that our Sui Dynasty soldiers and horses have arrived, why don't you quickly retreat to the grassland? Do you want to It’s impossible to die in a foreign land and be a lonely ghost.”
Now that the Turkic army is so powerful, the words of the young general will naturally not have any effect. On the contrary, Kang Sheoli narrowed his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "The boy has a good mouth, but I don't know where he came from. How dare you sign up?" "Come," Kang Sheoli is different from ordinary Turkic generals, because he lived in the pass for a long time when he was young, so he also learned a lot of the Han people's pretentiousness. When he asked this question, he just wanted to We need to ask about the young general’s origins.
"Hahahaha," the young general smiled up to the sky, then swung the copper hammer in his left hand to the side, and then shouted: "Young master, I will not change my name, but I will not change my surname. Pei Xingyan, the general under the command of General Wang Wei, the Prime Minister of Taiyuan County, is here to serve me. The general ordered us to come to our rescue. You and other small tribesmen on the border ignored the emperor's favor and dared to commit rebellion. You are really audacious. Our great Sui armies are coming one after another, and you will surely die without a burial place."
Hearing that Pei Xingyan claimed to be a subordinate of Taiyuan County Prime Minister Wang Wei, Kang Sheoli did not believe it. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and hummed to several Turkic generals behind him: "You guys go up and test each other's depth."
Kang Sheoli was a popular figure around Shibi. In the Turkic army, his status was second only to Shibi's three brothers. How could those Turkic generals dare to disobey Kang Sheoli's orders? Besides, they already looked down upon the arrogant Pei Xingyan. Not pleasing to the eye, after hearing Kang Sheoli's order, one of the tall Turkic generals immediately stepped forward on horseback, raised the scimitar in his hand, and shouted: "You bastard, give your grandpa a knife." ,"
"Hmph," Pei Xingyan looked at the Turkic general who rushed in front of him and just snorted coldly. The copper hammer in his hand directly hit the scimitar. When the scimitar and the copper hammer collided, a clang was heard. , Pei Xingyan didn't even use the red training method. The scimitar was directly smashed into twisted scrap metal, and the tall Turkic general flew backwards from his horse and fell heavily. On the ground, he vomited three mouthfuls of blood and fell unconscious.
Pei Xingyan's move immediately startled Kang Sheoli. Although the Turkic general's skill was not considered top-notch among the Turkic army, his brute force was not something that anyone could easily defeat. , not to mention that one move made him vomit blood and fall unconscious. The young general of the Sui Army in front of him was young and his body was so thin, but he did not expect to have such great strength.
However, Kang Sheoli was not an ordinary person, and naturally he would not be intimidated by this situation. Then, he waved his hand to the generals behind him. Suddenly, three or four Turkic generals rushed out at the same time, one by one. If you can't win, then attack three or four together. Those Turkic generals don't understand one-on-one rules. As long as they can defeat the enemy, that's the last word.
It's just that Pei Xingyan can't be intimidated by a large number of people. Seeing these three or four Turkic generals rushing over, Pei Xingyan's eyes flashed with fighting intent, and a blush finally appeared on his face. He swung a pair of copper hammers very fast, He faced the Turkic generals and smashed them over. He saw the scimitars of the Turkic generals passing by Pei Xingyan, but none of the scimitars could touch Pei Xingyan's body. On the contrary, Pei Xingyan struck each with two hammers in his hands. In the blink of an eye, all the Turkic generals were knocked upside down and fell to the same fate as their previous companions.
If the previous result was surprising, then Kang Sheoli's mood now can only be described as shocked. Being able to defeat three or four Turkic soldiers so easily would probably not be possible even for the most powerful warriors in the Turkic army. No way, how could such a person be unknown? Could it be that these armies are not the Taiyuan Army, it's all just the Sui Army playing tricks on them.
"Hahahaha, what a bullshit prairie warrior, that's all." After finishing off all the opponents in one breath, Pei Xingyan was also full of pride. He raised the two hammers in his hands and burst into laughter. However, Chi Lian Dao Technique was more or less It affected his temperament. Pei Xingyan was full of excitement and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, keep doing it, grandpa, I will have a good time,"
Pei Xingyan made rude remarks, but the Turkic army was in a somewhat quiescent posture, wasn't it? One or two of the generals on his side were easily dealt with by others, not even the generals. How could these small soldiers of his own be of any use? And Kang Sheoli also fell silent. Now he could almost confirm that the young general in front of him was definitely not a subordinate of Gao Junya or Wang Wei. He had stayed in Taiyuan for so long in the past few months. If Taiyuan was so powerful It is impossible for him not to know about the character, so it can be proved that there is fraud in it.
Just when Kang Sheoli had made a decision in his mind and was about to withdraw his troops and report back, suddenly, Kang Sheoli's eyes lit up, and he saw a very familiar face in the army behind Pei Xingyan.
Among the soldiers who had formed a square formation behind Pei Xingyan, a middle-aged man wearing official robes was standing among the protection of a group of Sui soldiers, stroking his beard with one hand, looking calm and composed, and saw After seeing this person, Kang Sheoli's heart tightened, but he immediately remembered the identity of this person, Jinyang Order Liu Wenjing.
When Kang Sheoli contacted Li Yuan before, he had seen Liu Wenjing several times outside the Tang Guogong Mansion. He knew that this Liu Wenjing did not seem to please Li Yuan very much, but as the officer in charge of Jinyang Palace, Kang Sheoli still He sent someone to find out Liu Wenjing's identity. When he saw such a person suddenly appearing in the opponent's army, Kang Sheoli's eyes lit up and he suddenly made a guess. Could it be that the two soldiers who came from behind were Horses are actually the guards responsible for garrisoning Jinyang Palace.
Jinyang Palace is also the palace of the emperor, so it is naturally guarded by guards. However, the difference between the guards who protect the palace and the imperial guards who protect the palace is more than a little bit different. But in any case, Jinyang Palace The guards were also trained by the regular army and equipped with the sophisticated equipment of the Sui Army. If the emperor did not visit Jinyang Palace, then they would only have to obey the orders of one person, and that was the Jinyang Order in charge of Jinyang Palace. .
Liu Wenjing's appearance, coupled with what Kang Sheoli knew about Li Yuan's attitude towards Liu Wenjing, everything can be explained, and Kang Sheoli was almost certain of his guess. Kang Sheoli immediately thought that now Taiyuan But it is not just the Li family that is the only one. At least in the Jinyang Palace area, the Li family does not dare to be too arrogant. Thinking of this, Kang Sheoli's expression also changed. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that Yanmen Pass is besieged? The news is likely to spread to the Central Plains through Jinyang Palace.
Immediately, Kang Sheoli no longer dared to stay here for a long time. He didn't care about the Turkic generals that Pei Xingyan had knocked down. He turned his horse's head in a panic and shouted to the generals behind him: "Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly, "
"Well," although I don't know why Kang Sheoli suddenly retreated in a hurry, those Turkic soldiers did not dare to disobey Kang Sheoli's order. They could only imitate Kang Sheoli and turn their horses' heads without caring. The formation was arranged, and Kang Sheoli ran back. In the blink of an eye, the two thousand Turkic cavalry disappeared.
Seeing the Turkic cavalry escaping hastily, the blood on Pei Xingyan's face immediately dissipated. With a smile, he first ordered the soldiers to tie up the Turkic generals one by one. Then, Pei Xingyan dismounted and turned around, coming to Liu Wenjing. In front of him, he said with a smile: "Master Liu really has a clever plan. It seems that those Turks have been frightened by us."
