Two hundred and seventy eighth chapter: The Battle of Yanmen Pass Twenty
Liu Wenjing smiled faintly, walked out from among the soldiers, nodded to Pei Xingyan, and said: "It seems that the Turks were deceived by us. Next, we have to wait for General Li and Wan Houye. News,”
Pei Xingyan glanced at Liu Wenjing. Just now, Liu Wenjing placed Li Jing's name before Wanhe. Although it was just a sequential order, Pei Xingyan could still hear it. It seemed that Liu Wenjing did not value Wanhe very much, but in this regard, Pei Xingyan just He kept it in mind but did not say it out loud. Then, Pei Xingyan looked around and said to Liu Wenjing: "Master Liu, where are the soldiers and horses that the young master and the others are going to pretend to be next?"
Liu Wenjing grinned, stroking her beard while smiling, and said: "Next, we need to suppress the Turks and not let them attack Yanmen Pass again, so ordinary soldiers and horses will not work, and except for the Yulin Army, Of the four most powerful soldiers in the world, only the Xidu Iron Armor stationed in Chang'an is the closest to here. The most striking feature of the Xidu Iron Armor is that it is all heavy armor. In this regard, the armor equipment of the Royal Forest Army is not much worse than the Xidu Iron Armor. As long as If you modify it slightly and use it to deceive the Turks, there will be no problem."
"Xidu Iron Armor," hearing this name, a cold light flashed in Pei Xingyan's eyes. It's no wonder that Pei Xingyan's father, Pei Renji, was a general under Zhang Xutuo, the commander of the counter-rebellion army who was as famous as Xidu Iron Armor. Among the four powerful soldiers, the counter-rebellion army is called the number one, and the Xidu Iron Armor is second only to the counter-rebellion army. The two sides fought bloody battles in private. Pei Xingyan curled his lips and smiled lightly. Said: "It turns out they are Qu Tutong's soldiers."
Liu Wenjing didn't know Pei Xingyan's background, so she didn't understand Pei Xingyan's meaningless words very well. However, seeing that Pei Xingyan remained silent, Liu Wenjing didn't say anything more. The two commanded five thousand troops and horses again. Returning to the camp on the hill, I saw military flags everywhere in the camp, but next to these military flags, there was no one. There were only three to four thousand people holding bows and arrows guarding the camp. When Pei Xingyan arrived with five thousand soldiers, they put down their bows and arrows and continued to plant military flags in the camp. Looking around, in the entire camp, even with the more than five thousand people brought back by Pei Xingyan, there were even Less than 10,000 people.
That's right, all this is actually a trick played by Li Jing. First, he exposed all his troops to the sight of the Turks. After setting up camp, he secretly sneaked out from behind the hill with 20,000 people. After putting on the military flag and dressing up a little, they held the military flags of Gao Junya and Wang Wei again, divided into two teams and marched into the military camp openly and openly. Just when the battle at Yanmen Pass was in full swing, Li Jing and Wan He came again He sneaked out with 20,000 horses, preparing to repeat the same trick again. When the time came, there were only 30,000 horses, but Li Jing forced the number to 60,000. With this false 60,000 horses in the rear, I believe the Turks would not He dared to act rashly. As for the less than 10,000 people left behind, on the one hand, it was to prevent the Turks from sending out troops to test like they just did. On the other hand, at night, Pei Xingyan would have more than 10,000 soldiers beating gongs and drums to create four Thousands of people came out in formation.
Of course, with only 60,000 people, it was impossible to scare away Shi Bi, who had hundreds of thousands of Turkic knights under his command, but Li Jing just wanted to give Shi Bi a wrong signal, that is, the Sui army from the Central Plains was already heading here. Come here, no matter how arrogant Shi Bi is, he will not dare to compete with the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. In this way, Shi Bi will not dare to stay here for a long time, let alone launch an attack on Yanmen Pass rashly. Li Jing's As soon as this method was uttered, it was immediately approved by Wan He and Liu Wenjing, so the previous situation happened.
In the Turkic Army's camp, after receiving Kang Sheoli's reward, Shibi and Duoxin couldn't help but take a deep breath. If Kang Sheoli's analysis was correct, then the next situation would be troublesome. Seeing that Shi Bi and Du Xin were both silent, Kang Sheoli hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said to them: "Great Khan, Lord Du Xin, I think the current situation has begun to affect the army." The turn is bad, and if we continue to stay, it will only increase the casualties of the warriors. It is better to leave as soon as possible before the reinforcements of the Sui army are assembled."
"Bastard," as soon as Kang Sheoli finished speaking, Shi Bi immediately scolded him. Shi Bi glared at Kang Sheoli with an angry look on his face, one hand already on the scimitar at his waist, He yelled murderously: "Kang Sheoli, what are you talking about? Do you mean to make us warriors on the grassland retreat without a fight? Do you want us all to become cowards?"
"Brother," seeing Shi Bi's appearance, Du Xin was also startled. Kang Sheoli was a rare and wise general in Shi Bi's account. He couldn't just be killed by Shi Bi. Du Xin He immediately took a step forward, grabbed Shi Bi's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, please calm down. Kang Sheoli just expressed his thoughts and killed loyal ministers in anger. This is what that dog emperor does. Brother, you must not do it." Learn from that dog emperor,"
"Huh," Shi Bi is actually not the kind of impulsive person. It was just that after hearing Kang Sheoli's suggestion, he became furious for a moment, and that's why he acted just now. Now that Du Xin persuaded him, Shi Bi also calmed down. , but he couldn't say anything, so he could only snort coldly and put his hand back.
Looking at Kang Sheoli again, he showed no sign of fear in the face of Shibi's anger. Instead, he always held his head high, facing Shibi's killing intent. After Shibi withdrew his hand, Kang Sheoli then He saluted to Shibi and said: "Great Khan, there is a saying among the Han people that good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, and loyal words are harsh to the ears and good for action. The original plan of the Great Khan was to raid Yanmen Pass and rob the Sui Emperor in the shortest possible time, but now it has been After delaying for so long, reinforcements from the Central Plains have arrived one after another, which is contrary to the Great Khan's previous plan. If he continues to stay, it will only put the army in trouble. When the reinforcements from the Central Plains arrive, the Great Khan will want to retreat. , but it’s not that easy,”
After some persuasion, Kang Sheoli couldn't help but feel moved. But the problem is that now the battle has reached this point, and Elifashe has been seriously injured. If he can't do it for Eli from the beginning, How could Feshe be willing to leave for revenge? Not only Shibi, but also Du Xin next to Shi Bi had the same idea. Du Xin frowned and said: "Now the city wall of Yanmen Pass has been destroyed. As long as our army attacks tomorrow, Yanmen Pass will be destroyed." There will no longer be any defense power. Could it be that we can’t wait even one day for tomorrow?”
Regarding Du Xin's question, Kang Sheoli showed a helpless smile and said: "Master Du Xin, don't forget that the walls of Yanmen Pass were burned by the Sui army themselves. The Sui army will protect the children in the future. That is the Sui army." The most experienced veteran around the emperor, if he is not completely sure, will he destroy the Great Wall? I can guarantee that when we go to attack Yanmen Pass tomorrow, Lai Hu'er will definitely use other means to hinder us, and Lai Hu'er will definitely use other means to hinder us. At that time, if the Sui army behind us also launches an attack at the same time, wouldn't it be like being attacked from both sides? At that time, our army's casualties will be even more heavy. Khan, Lord Duxin, these hundreds of thousands of warriors, but our Turks dominate the grassland. Fundamentally, if everything is destroyed here, the owner of the grassland in the future will most likely no longer belong to the Ashina family."
Kang Sheoli's words also shocked Shibi and Duoxin. Kang Sheoli's words were correct. Although the Turks are still the main people on the grassland now, it does not mean that the entire grassland is all Turks. In the corner of the grassland, There are also Khitans, Tiele people, Mohe people, and even Goguryeo people in Liaodong. Although these people are now surrendered to the Turks, Shibi and Duoxin know very well that once the Turks' strength weakens , these domestic dogs will suddenly turn into man-eating wolves, turning around and biting their owners.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Bi still couldn't make a decision. Finally, he sighed and said to Kang Sheoli: "In this case, we will not attack Yanmen Pass tomorrow and wait and see what happens. If there are reinforcements from the Sui army in these days, Come here and we will retreat,"
"Great Khan," such a result is obviously not what Kang Sheoli wants. Staying here will delay the opportunity. When the reinforcements from the Central Plains arrive, it will not be so easy to retreat. Kang Sheoli immediately He just took a step forward and opened his mouth to continue persuading, but before he could say anything, he turned around and went directly into the king's tent to see the injury of Eliphesheth in the king's tent. In the end, Du Xin could only make a helpless expression towards Kang Sheoli. No one could change the decision he made from beginning to end, not even his biological brother.
Seeing this, Kang Sheoli had nothing to say and could only retreat silently. He also knew what Shi Bi was thinking now. After all, he had spent so many troops and had returned with nothing, which was very important to Shi Bi. His prestige would be a huge blow. Of course, Shibi didn't want to get such a result, so he was still waiting for that glimmer of luck to appear. Kang Sheoli looked helplessly at the king's tent, and finally left dejectedly. I know that only cruel facts can make Shibi change his mind, but I don't know if the warriors will be able to return to the grassland by then.
Although Kang Sheoli had long expected such a day, he did not expect that this day would come so quickly. Three days later, a piece of news that horrified Shibi, Duoxin and Kang Sheoli finally came from the grassland. came.
The Tiele people located deep in the grassland sent troops,
