Crossing Dajin Mountain and heading north is the vast grassland. On this endless grassland, there is a small river flowing east-west, called Sulan River. It is said that a girl named Sulan saved the aridity of the grassland.
The river formed by the incarnation is as quiet as a girl, slender and long, with hundreds of miles of origin, and it is unsurprising throughout the year
The Sulan River is about 300 miles away from the border of the Sui Dynasty. Shibi Khan's logistics camp is located on the south bank of the Sulan River. This is a vast camp with a large tent that stretches for more than ten miles and lives with more than 10,000 herders.
With 15,000 troops, guarding millions of cattle and sheep and countless hay. This is the military ration for the 400,000 Turkic army. Every day, soldiers are specially transported to drive tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to the military camp, and go south to the grassland to form a series of cattle and sheep.
Incessantly, there will inevitably be a large herd of cattle and sheep appearing fifty or sixty miles apart.
But on the seventh day, the army transporting cattle and sheep was attacked by the Sui army.
Su Dingfang led 5,000 cavalry to run all the way. They relied on hunting the Turkic cattle and sheep along the way as supplies. They found the location of the Turkic logistics camp as early as the fifth day, but Su Dingfang was not in a hurry to attack. When he was in Yiwu County, he was in the past.
Trust and recklessness left him the most profound lesson in his life. From then on, he thought twice before doing anything.
He must understand all the situations of the opponent's troops, the route of cattle and sheep transport, the number of herders and equipment, how many cattle and sheep are there, how the camp is stationed, etc.
After two days, Su Dingfang found out the situation of the Turkic Army's logistics camp and formulated a combat plan.
In the big tent, Su Dingfang was deploying his combat plan to five Ying Yanglang generals, and he drew a sketch on a large piece of paper.
"This long river is the Sulan River"
Su Dingfang pointed at a long river with a wooden pole, and drew countless circles on the south side, "This is their camp, more than 3,000 tents are about fifteen miles long, and 15,000 troops are divided into two places to deploy.
One is in the west, with about 5,000 people, and the other is in the middle, with about 10,000 people. The defense is very tight and we are not realistic to attack the camp directly, but I have a way."
Su Dingfang moved the wooden pole to the south. On the long road, a group of sheep were drawn at a distance on the road and the generals laughed. The drawing was quite funny.
Su Dingfang smiled and said, "This is their military ration route to the south. He bypassed the eastern foot of Dajin Mountain, passed through Fuqibo, and went straight to Yanmen City. If it was a cavalry, it would take four days, but they drove cattle and sheep.
At least six days, that is to say, there are six military ration transport teams on the road, each army has tens of thousands of cattle and sheep! Book*t * 200 shepherds and five hundred soldiers guarding, our top priority is to attack the food team on the road.
In this way, the enemy will definitely increase the grain protection army, which means that the number of troops in the camp will decrease, which will create conditions for us to attack the camp."
Su Dingfang's eyes fell on Lang General Yao Dingguo, "General Yao, the task of attacking the food road will be handed over to you. My request is only four words, kill all the people."

On the grassland south of the Sulan River, there is a 'horse road' made of hundreds of thousands of war horses, leading directly to Yanmen County in the south. Every day, a team of grain transporters drove tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to the south. From Sulan
There are still three hundred miles from the river to Dajin Mountain, which takes three days to walk. About every hundred miles, there is a huge team of cattle and sheep.
At noon that day, on the grassland about 240 miles away from the Sulan River, an escort team was stopping to rest and eat, a group of cattle and sheep were eating grass leisurely, and hundreds of soldiers and herdsmen were lying on the grassland.
Some fell asleep, some looked bored at the sky, and some gathered together, talking about the eternal topic of men, and burst into a wild laugh from time to time
This time, the 400,000 troops that Bi Khan went south were not all Turkic. Half of them were Tiel tribes, Uighurs, Sijie, Tongluo, Bayegu and other nine Tiel tribes, about twenty
The ten thousand army of the army was responsible for guarding the logistics of Shibi Khan. Even the soldiers sent by the Bayegu tribe lived in the Edun River area. Their equipment was still the same as before, and even the Turks had no choice but to Shi.
Bi Khan's 100,000 Guards have the same equipment as the Sui Army
This is the depth of the grassland. Their enemies are only wild wolves in the grassland. The soldiers of the ancient tribe are not alert. At this time, a row of small black dots appeared on the grass hill in the distance. They rushed down the grass hill and looked towards this.
A group of black spots kept rushing out of the grass hills, which were a thousand entire cavalry
The fierce sound of horse hooves alarmed the soldiers lying on the grass. Many people jumped up and looked into the distance. For a moment, they began to shout. The cavalrymen boarded the horses and responded in a hurry. More than 200 herders drove cattle and sheep.
Run eastward
A thousand Sui cavalry came roaring, dense arrows towards Baye Gu soldiers, enemy soldiers screamed and fell off the horse, the two armies collided in an instant, fighting fiercely on the grassland, dozens of Sui soldiers followed the herdsmen
Chasing the herdsmen, although they also had swords, they were far from rivaling the Sui army with good weapons. In a moment, dozens of herdsmen were killed, screaming in pain, and the rest of the herdsmen were scared to death, leaving cattle and sheep, and fighting to the death
Flee eastward
The Sui army did not chase after him and began to slaughter cattle and sheep. The blood stained the grass red. In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers of the five hundred baye Gu began to be unable to support him and quickly collapsed. They fled from the battlefield and fled northeast. The Sui army was all the way.
Chasing, chasing for more than ten miles, killing three hundred people
When the fire burning the corpse was ignited, the general Yao Dingguo gave the order, and the Sui soldiers turned their horses and headed south, chasing another target.
Within one day and one night, two grain-delivery teams were massacred, which means that the 400,000 troops in the south would be out of food for two days. The logistics army realized that something was wrong, so they sent a 3,000-strong grain-protecting team to hurry to the south to protect the other
Four grain teams, at the same time, changed the grain delivery plan, increased the escort army to 3,000 people, and increased the number of cattle and sheep at one time to 200,000 heads, which is three days of food.
The army of the camp began to decrease rapidly. Su Dingfang's army lurked like a wolves in the grassland, waiting patiently for the opportunity. On the third day, another team of three thousand people guarded 200,000 cattle and sheep.
This reduced the number of troops in the camp to 4,000, and the opportunity finally came
At night, Su Dingfang led 4,000 cavalry to wait ten miles east of the camp. The cold moonlight shone on the 4,000 cavalry, adding a solemn and murderous aura. Su Dingfang was holding a silver helmet and iron armor, holding a golden back and tiger-tooth knife in his hand, and was at the most in the team.
In front, I immediately stood up, and my eyes were coldly waiting for the situation in the military camp to happen
Due to the continuous incidents of the Sui army attacking the grain transport team, Ye Hususa, the chief general in charge of logistics security, sent people to Yanmen County to report Shibi Khan, and also strengthened control of the camp.
The originally sixteen-mile-long camp was compressed to ten miles, which facilitated the army's patrol. Every night, five hundred-man patrol teams patroled back and forth in the camp to prevent the Sui army's night attack. Even so, a huge team of millions of livestock still used
They can't do everything
At a moment, a scream suddenly broke out from the western camp, and then the flames rushed into the camp. A group of Sui cavalry with thousands of people rushed into the camp. They killed everyone, lit the tent, and screamed in the circle.
The cattle and sheep flee in fear and scattered
Ye Hususa, the Baye Gu tribe, urgently led 4,000 cavalry to fight. They ran west, while the terrified herders fled east.
At this time, on the grassland ten miles east, Su Dingfang saw the fire from afar. He waved his sword and pointed at the camp, and ordered coldly: "Kill me no matter whether it is a man, woman, old or young, no one will be left."
Four thousand cavalry suddenly launched and rushed towards the Turkic camp. After a moment, the Sui cavalry rushed into the east camp, killing the Turkic herdsmen's heads and blood flowed into a river. The torch lit the tent, and the storm rushed straight into the sky.
The night sky on the grassland is red...
In August of the 11th year of Daye, five thousand Sui cavalry, led by General Su Dingfang, attacked the Turkic logistics site at night, killing tens of thousands of enemies, and millions of livestock were poisoned by the Sui army's poisonous weeds and completely destroyed.
The logistics center of 400,000 troops

Xixing Pass is known as the leader of the Nine Passes. The majestic pass is surrounded by the mountain and is surrounded by dangerous mountains. It is high on Gouzhu Mountain. One man is at the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open. At this time, Xixing Pass has been occupied by the Turks, and an army of thousands of people is stationed.
The main throat of Mayi County to Yanmen County
The night was shrouded in Xixing Pass, the sky was sinking, and the moon hid in the dark clouds, making the night se at Xixing Pass particularly dark. At three o'clock, the city gate had already been closed, and a dozen Turkic sentries were returning and forth on the top of the city.
Patrol, watching the movements outside the pass
But behind Xixing Pass, a Sui army scout team of more than 800 people had approached quietly. Under the leadership of Lang General Wu Zhiyuan, they took a desperate bet. The cliff on their way was particularly dangerous and could only go down.
, but if they cannot go up, if they cannot seize Xixing Pass, they will find it difficult to escape and will be wiped out.
But the Turkic army never dreamed that the Sui army scouts appeared behind them, but on the city tower behind Xixing Pass, there were still two Turkic sentries patrolling the city walls back and forth on the top of the city.
Wu Zhiyuan and several scouts slowly approached. They observed for a while and confirmed that there were only two sentries. Wu Zhiyuan gave another archer scout. The two took off military crossbows from their backs and promoted one by one.
A crossbow arrow coated with papamel poison was placed in the arrow groove, and they raised the crossbow and aimed at the two sentries.
'Crack' two light sounds, crossbow arrows came out like lightning, and the two sentries groaned, covered their throats and fell from the city one after another. Several Sui soldiers rushed up and used their zip to climb up like monkeys.
The city gate opened slowly in just a moment
Wu Zhiyuan was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, the eight hundred Sui army scouts rushed into Xixing Pass...
The Sui army attacked Xixing Pass at night, and most of the Turkic defenders were killed in their sleep. At four hours, Xixing Pass fell into the hands of the Sui army.
The unexpected loss of Xixing Pass cut off the connection between the two Turkic armies in Kanto and Kansai. Seriously, the 100,000 Turkic army that was confronting Fengzhou army was facing the crisis of cutting off food supply.
