What's more unlucky than a crow? It's a crow's beak!
Just when the middle-aged scribe warned Du Jishi to be careful about ambushes, a loud shout of murder suddenly rang out from the Sanggan River!
"No! There's really an ambush!"
Realizing that something was wrong, Du Jishi glared at the middle-aged scribe fiercely, and quickly shouted that he was going to assemble his troops and plan to fight back with an entire army.
Here, before Dujishi could assemble his troops, in front, the Turkic soldiers who had just run to the river to fetch water were already being herded back like ducks.
The Turks make a living by grazing animals and living on grass, so naturally they are inseparable from water sources.
This time when the Turks moved south, their major logistics camp was located four or five miles away from the Sanggan River, and it was nearly a hundred miles away from the frontline camp where the Turks besieged Yanmen County.
The so-called Turkic soldiers are not professional soldiers like those in the Sui Dynasty. In normal times, there are basically no sergeants in the Turks. They are all a group of herdsmen. When there is a war, those herdsmen respond to Wang Khan's call and each
Bring your horses and weapons and go out into battle.
This kind of lifestyle of dismounting for the people and mounting as soldiers means that a tribe basically does not need to maintain huge military expenditures, but accordingly, there is also a little trouble! That is, the Turkic army really has no discipline at all
!
Every time there was a war, thousands of Turkic soldiers swarmed up!
In this case, it would be okay if the battle goes smoothly, but if it fails at all, it would be really miserable!
Most of the people who came with Dujishi to put out the fire this time were herdsmen from Dujishi's own tribe, so they were the most anxious to get angry when they saw the fire in the camp. After hearing Dujishi's order to put out the fire, these Turkic soldiers
No longer caring about anything else, they dropped their weapons one by one, picked up their cowhide bags and ran towards the Sanggan River in a flurry.
Unexpectedly, while these Turkic soldiers were fetching water in a chaotic manner, a group of Sui soldiers came out of the darkness like ghosts. They first shot at the Turkic soldiers indiscriminately, and then they mounted their horses and brandished their swords, ruthlessly attacking like tigers entering a herd of sheep.
He ran violently into the Turkic soldiers.
The Sui army was quite skilled in the business of sneak attacks and killings. Wherever the cold light rose, blood flew and heads rolled.
The stunned Turkic soldiers immediately fell into chaos. They fought for each other and trampled on each other. Many Turkic soldiers were trampled to death by their own people. Unfortunately, many Turkic soldiers were squeezed into the cold and biting cold.
In the Sanggan River, more Turkic soldiers ran back in a noisy manner like sheep.
Without the slightest surprise, Duo Jishi's half-assembled army was smashed into a mess by the swarming insurgents!
"Don't mess up! Stay in formation! Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"
Duojishi drew out his golden sword and slashed at more than a dozen soldiers who rushed in front of him. At the same time, he raised his arms and shouted.
However, before Duo Jishi could finish his words, an overwhelming rain of arrows swept over him.
"Khan be careful!"
Several personal guards shouted and threw Du Jishi off his horse and pushed him to the ground, finally allowing Du Jishi to barely escape.
Fighting for the ground with his head, Duo Jishi was knocked to pieces, with stars in his eyes.
Before Du Jishi could get up, rows of big feet and horse hooves stepped over Du Jishi one after another through two layers of human shields, trampling Du Jishi so hard that he rolled his eyes.
However, at this time, everyone no longer paid attention to the unlucky guy Du Jishi. The chaotic Turkic soldiers were busy running for their lives, while the Sui soldiers were busy slashing people with their swords! Each of them was busy with their own affairs, and each had his own place!
Of course, there are those who won’t cooperate!
For example, a few Turkic soldiers, who seemed to be more bloody, turned around and planned to go against the historical trend, trying to turn around and resist the massacre of the Sui army! However, these were a very small number after all, and they were completely unorganized and undisciplined. Unsurprisingly, they
In the end, they were all submerged under the Sui army's surging offensive, with only a tiny splash that was undetectable...
After chasing the Turkic soldiers for more than ten miles, the Sui army finally slowly retreated.
Because, ahead, the Turkic reinforcements seem to be arriving soon!
Although there were no women and children of their own tribe in the burned baggage camp, after all, the attack on the Sui Dynasty was related to the vital interests of all the Turkic tribes! Therefore, although they were somewhat gloating about the misfortune, the Turkic soldiers from other tribes quickly followed.
to.
Seeing the Turkic army arriving, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er quickly retreated his troops and quickly retreated to the bank of Sanggan River.
On that side, although the Turkic tribes arrived, numbering more than 100,000, they were not united and blocked by the defeated troops of Duji Shi tribe in front, so they did not take the opportunity to attack the Sui army.
When the Turkic soldiers organized their troops in a chaotic manner and marched to the Sanggan River again, the Sui army had already formed a formation along the water. They lined up five crescent moon formations in a row and marched four or five miles along the bank of the Sanggan River.
On the water, hundreds of small ships of the Sui Army were lined up in a row, serving as strong support for the Crescent Moon Formation.
Seeing this situation, the Turkic soldiers were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they arranged their formation to confront the Sui army while arranging manpower to clear the battlefield.
Dujishi Khan was quite lucky. Although he was trampled on by the rebellious army, he miraculously saved his life! It was just that he was seriously injured and suffered from hemiplegia. It is conservatively estimated that he would not be able to raise a child.
For a year and a half, I couldn’t get out of bed!
However, this Shibi Khan was also a decisive person. Knowing that he was probably in trouble, he actually neatly handed over the command of the three armies to his younger brother Qilifa.
When he was ordered to do so at the critical moment, Lifa did not hesitate, he directly took the Khan's golden arrows and began to mobilize his troops.
Qi Lifa was indeed a ruthless man. The first thing he did after taking power was to quietly order his confidants to have his eldest brother Duo Jishi euthanized!
Later, Zhi Lifa hurriedly raised the banner of revenge for his eldest brother Shibi Khan, and ordered the Xitu Rouran and Uighur troops to launch a desperate assault on the Sui army on the bank of the Sanggan River, intending to
Kill two birds with one stone.
In the face of Qi Lifa's powerful power, although the various tribes in the West Turks were dissatisfied, they had to give in temporarily. Who knew that the West Turks had been wiped out by the East Turks long ago!
After being chased away by Qi Lifa, these Western Turks finally showed their brutal and ferocious side. Teams of cavalry launched a charge towards the Sui army's position regardless of life and death.
It's a pity that fighting is a technical job. This kind of brutal charge without any technical content is destined to be a failure in front of the technologically advanced Crescent Moon Formation!
Since midnight, the Turkic soldiers had launched a charge against the Sui army's formation. However, until midnight, the Turks had been charging continuously for four hours, but they were unable to break through the Sui army's five consecutive gaps.
Not even a single gap can be opened in any of the moon formations!
In front of the formation of the two armies, the corpses of Turkic troops had covered a large area with a radius of about five miles. Half of the Sanggan River was dyed red with blood. It is unknown how many thousands of Turkic troops died tragically on the spot.
On the contrary, the casualties paid by the Sui army were only more than a thousand people, and they were basically minor injuries!
Gein, once someone in the Sui army was accidentally injured, he could be transferred to the ship in the center of the river behind him almost immediately.
After a night of fierce fighting, out of the nearly 100,000 West Turks, there were now less than 50,000 left. They had not slept all night and were exhausted. At this point, the morale of these West Turks finally fell to an extremely low point.
In fact, not only these West Turks were like this, but even the East Turks who had rested all night behind were all listless and weak at the moment! Because these East Turks finally discovered a cruel fact, everyone had no food.
