The winter sun always can't wait to fall down on the west mountain, very stingy with its warmth and light, the time is still early, the sky will darken, the north wind seems to be more and more cold, the cold air is raging on the earth, and the insolent cries are spread all over the four fields. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, in the Sui army camp outside Tongzhou City, the guards of the arrow tower sentry were as straight as loose, not moving at all, and let the cold wind scrape the bones forge the dark and thin cheeks more and more resolute and fierce.

In the center of the camp, hundreds of large iron pots burned red under the blazing fire, and the pot was boiling broth, the aroma of meat and cooking smoke were blown away by the cold wind, and it was spread far away, but the soldiers who practiced in the camp were solemn and selfless, and they didn't seem to be attracted by the rich meat fragrance at all.

When the "meal" is opened After the order was issued, the soldiers in training did not disperse in a hurry, and the nervous and serious expressions did not relax for a moment, their every move was very strict and standard, the military camp that stretched for several miles was orderly, there was no chaos, the food of Lin Nan's army was undoubtedly the best in the world, in this chaotic era, it is already a kind of happiness to be able to fill the stomach, not to mention being able to open meat, and eat meat every three or five times, and drink soup in a big bowl, for this point, the generals originally did not agree with Lin Nan's almost ruined approach, although he knew that he cherished the soldiers, but after all, the Great Sui did not have too much money to support the army, and people did not eat meatNot to mention the soldiers who lick the blood from the knife, they work for me, I should exhaust all means to make their lives better, soldiers can endure cruel conditions, endure loneliness and desolation, and even disregard their own lives, but this is because they must do so, to protect the people or things they cherish.

Lin Nan has a deep understanding of these, so the soldiers under his command are several times higher than other places in terms of treatment and status, or even dozens of times.

……

The "Woo ......" assembly call sounded, and all the soldiers stopped their movements and assembled in front of the school yard as quickly as possible. There are 10,000 people, boundless, when 400,000 fierce warriors stand in front of him, the evil aura of the sky is rushing to the face, Rao is Lin Nan kills people like hemp, after life and death, he can't help but sigh in his heart for his insignificance.

"Brothers, have worked hard!" Lin Nan said loudly with a warm smile on his face, and Qing Yue's voice penetrated the cold wind and clearly reached the ears of every soldier.

"Defend the family and the country, never give up!" Everyone roared angrily, the rolling sound shook the sky, fierce and uncasting, and the domineering momentum seemed to make the cold wind tremble, and there was a momentary pause.

When everyone cheered down, the smile on Lin Nan's face was closed, his face suddenly became extremely serious, and he glanced at everyone majestically, and Lin Nan said: "Brothers, we have been in Tongzhou for three days, and the boring waiting must have made you impatient, eager for the arrival of war and the rescue of Tongzhou in the hands of the Turks." ”

After a pause, Lin Nan's eyes suddenly shot out of a clear light, and he shouted loudly: "Tonight, the big battle is approaching, and the opportunity to regain the lost territory is coming, tell me, are your spirits sufficient?"

"Yes!"

"Have your steel knives been polished?!"

"Yes......"

"Victory! Victory!!Victory!!" The blood in the body of the 400,000 army boiled in an instant, and the shouts like a tide were like a landslide and tsunami, causing the heavens and the earth to change color and the earth to shake.

Everyone's eyes were covered with a faint layer of blood, and the fierce and murderous momentum on their bodies soared, condensing into a towering mountain of nothingness, thick and depressing, making people awe-inspiring.

Looking at the 400,000 soldiers in the audience who were excited and murderous, Lin Nan's heart was shocked and delighted, and at the same time, there was also a wave of pride and ambition in his heart to rebuke Fang Xuan, and the blood in his body was also boiling, and the high battle intent and murderous aura were fused and dispersed, making him look more and more majestic and domineering, just like a domineering god of war.

A good man is determined to be in all directions, the big husband should ride the horse and raise the sword, gallop the world, even if he dies on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud is not in vain, although Lin Nan hates killing from the bottom of his heart, but his blood belonging to the brave is destined to stand on the cusp of the storm for the rest of his life, constantly fighting in the sky, surpassing the limit, life is endless, and the struggle is endless.

After everyone's shouts and cheers stopped, Lin Nan laughed loudly: "All brothers are good, they are indeed the best warriors in the empire, they are real heroes, with all of you, no matter how strong the enemy is, we can also win the battle and protect our homeland and relatives from bullying!"

Speaking of which. The smile on Lin Nan's face completely disappeared, and he became more pious and solemn than ever, and said in a low but resolute voice: "I, Emperor Yang Yu of the Great Sui, am willing to defend the family and the country with you, and swear to die!"

"Defend the country. Swear to the death!"

"Live and die together, live and die together!" The 400,000 Sui troops exploded like a lit powder keg, but what exploded was their passion and blood, killing intent and fighting spirit, and everyone roared with all their might, expressing the fiery emotions and high fighting spirit in their chests to their generals.

The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself, Nalan Xue stood in the corner, standing in the corner, looking at the high-spirited general on the high platform from a distance, looking at the world, and her eyes couldn't help but be stupid.

At this moment, she really understood why men were always so aggressive, and they never got tired of it, and finally understood why the Sui army was able to turn defeat into victory and expel the Turks.

After the oath was completed, Lin Nan was about to choose a horse, but he saw Nalan Xue in military uniform walking towards her, and it seemed that she had been waiting here for a long time.

Nalan Xue has a resolute and resolute temperament, and now that she is wearing a military uniform, she is a little more sassy and heroic, and her charm is infinite, but at this time, the beauty frowned lightly, her expression was in a trance, and the smile she showed when she saw Lin Nan was also very reluctant.

"Xue'er, are you feeling unwell?" Lin Nan took a step forward, gently held Nalan Xue's soft water, and asked with concern, Nalan Xue shook her head slightly, looked at Lin Nan and stopped, and finally spoke after hesitating for a moment: "Your Majesty, may you return victorious." ”

"Okay!" Lin Nan nodded heavily and turned away.

……

Tongzhou City, in the chamber of the Assassin's Palace.

The important Turkic generals sat in turn, and even Alan Jebe, who had just recovered a little, was among them, although Alan Jebe did not achieve gratifying and eye-catching achievements in this battle, but he stepped forward in danger to help Jieli escape the pursuit of the enemy, but also won Jieli's greatest trust.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have all heard a little about the situation of the Great Khan these days. Topher sat at the top of the seat, glancing majestically at the crowd, his voice flat and deep, his eyes as if he could see everything.

Everyone's hearts suddenly tightened, their expressions became more and more serious, and even their breathing was deliberately suppressed very slightly and slowly.

It is true that they have made a lot of speculations about Jieli these days, especially the rumors that are spreading today, which make their thinking extremely confused, but now they dare not express any opinion on this matter.

"The rumors are true, the Great Khan is indeed in good health!" As soon as Tuoba Totar said this, except for a few people who knew about it, everyone else widened their eyes and looked incredulous, their mouths wide open as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to speak.

The changes of the crowd were all in sight, but his face was still calm and calm, calm, and said majestically: "The reason why the Great Khan is seriously ill is not because of the defeat in the Battle of Xiaoguan, nor because of the rumors of the rats in the city, but the poisonous arrow of the Yang Yu thief in his body, after a few days of careful recuperation, the Great Khan has recovered a lot, but his body is still very weak, and the wound cannot see the wind, so he can't personally deploy the military order." ”

Although there were still some doubts in their hearts, everyone still believed most of them, after all, Jieli was their master, and no one wanted him to have any problems, so as to make his glory and wealth, and even his net worth and life problems.

Seeing that everyone's mood was obviously a little soothing, Tuoba Totar couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and replaced it with an angry and hateful look, Tuoba Totoer's eyes were full of murderous aura, and he said viciously: "Yang Yu is extremely rampant and aggressive, first he injured the body of the Great Khan Wanjin, and now he has Chen Bing outside the city of Tongzhou, threatening to annihilate my 100,000 troops here. After a pause, Tuoba's face was distorted, and he said indignantly: "Generals, as a Turkic humerus, can you tolerate the villain's ambition and trample on my Turkic majesty?"

"Zuo Khan, the last general is willing to lead three thousand armor soldiers to fetch Yang Yu's dog head and sacrifice to the Great Khan!"

"The last general is willing to go, and the Sui people have no return!" The generals were suddenly inexplicably angry, and the more irritable ones even stepped forward on the spot, shouting for battle, Tuoba Totoer's fierce rhetoric, instigating the hostility of the people, the purpose was to divert their attention, so that they could ignore the fact that Jieli was seriously ill, and also to make everyone have a high fighting spirit and a low morale.

Tuobatol allowed the turmoil below to continue for a while before he spoke again, earnest and sincere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Khan knew your loyalty to the Turks, and also knew that you were eager to serve the country and kill the enemy, but the Great Khan was generous and merciful, and considering that the soldiers had been on the expedition for a long time and were homesick, he decided to withdraw his troops and return to the west. ”

Everyone was moved in their hearts, and they all spoke: "Zuo Khan." It is a supreme honor for my husband to die on the battlefield, and I am strong and full of spirit, and I can fight again!"

"Zuo Khan, we are now less numerous than the Sui army, but our army has Tongzhou as the backing, even if Lin Nan's 400,000 troops come to attack, why should we be afraid?"

"Why don't you rush out and fight with the Sui army, but you have to see how rampant Yang Yu is!"

……

"Morale is available, morale is available!" successfully provoked the generals' fighting spirit and anger, Tuoba Totar was very happy in his heart, but his face was still very serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You are all my Turkic warriors, and your feelings are also very understandable, but the holy order cannot be violated, and the Great Khan has passed down the will, and tonight, the whole army will be drawn out, abandon the city and return to the country!" Everyone still wanted to question, but seeing Tuoba Totoer's unquestionable look, they had to obey the holy order, but everyone was holding back a surging anger in their hearts.

"Zuo Khan, the last general has something to say!" At this moment, Alain Jebel suddenly stepped out, and looked at Tuoba Totardao with burning eyes.

"General Alain has something to say, just say it!" said Tuoba Tuotl, raising an eyebrow, in a gentle tone.

Although Hanyan Tuoba had also heard of Alain Zhe's disobedient remarks about Tuoba Totoer, the fact that he stepped forward some time ago and helped Jieli escape regardless of his own life and death still made Tuoba Totar's senses feel a lot better for him.

"Zuo Khan, the last general guessed that the rumors in the city today must have been deliberately spread by the Sui people, the purpose was to disturb the hearts of our army, let us mess up our position, and they took the opportunity to attack the city. ”

Tuoba Totar nodded indifferently, looked at Alain Jebe seriously, and motioned for the latter to continue.

"Zuo Khan, the Sui army is watching on the side, you must be extremely careful in this retreat, and you must not fall for the enemy's tricks again!"

"General Alain's flanks, you might as well say that he will come out. ”

"Ming repairs the plank road, and secretly crosses Chencang. ”

Looking at Alain Zhebe's determined and confident appearance, Tuoba Totar's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at Tuli and Ashina Simo on his side, and they both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

Although he was surprised that Alan Jebe's words were to the point, Tuoba Totar was silent, looked at Alan Jebe indifferently, and continued to ask: "General Alan has a clever plan, so he might as well explain it in detail. ”

"Zuo Khan, although we must withdraw our troops and return to the west in accordance with the will of the Great Khan, but to withdraw like this will not only damage the majesty of our Turks, but will also hit the morale of the whole army, and if the enemy tries his best to pursue, it will be very bad for our army. After a pause, Alan Zhebei continued: "Since the Sui army hopes that our army will collapse without attacking and abandon the city, then why don't we plan it, even if we withdraw and return to the west, we will not let the Sui army have a good time." ”

"During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Kongming once set up an empty city plan to scare Sima Yi away, now why don't we follow suit and put up a fake empty city plan, which can not only ensure the safe evacuation of most of our army from Tongzhou, but also take the opportunity to send the Great Khan away safely?"

"Zuo Khan, our army can evacuate at night, let more than 20,000 people raise torches, pretend to panic, and quickly retreat westward to confuse the enemy, and then sneak 15,000 elite ambushes on the side, as long as Lin Nan dares to pursue, our army can give them a head-on attack, and at the same time, you can order 5,000 elite men to take advantage of the chaos to escort the Great Khan back to the Turks by the path. Speaking of this, looking at Tuoba Tuo Tuer nodding again and again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, Alan Zhebe's eyes suddenly became fiery and firm, and he said earnestly: "Zuo Khan, the last general is not talented, I am willing to lead 10,000 soldiers to stay in Tongzhou, do everything possible to stop the Sui army, and ensure that the army can return to the west safely!"

"Brilliant plan, really good plan!"

"Hey, as long as Lin Nan'er dares to come, I will tell him to come and go!"

After listening to Alan Zhebe's strategy, Tuoba Totar, Tuli, and Ashina Simo were silent, frowning and thinking, but many of the generals below whispered, their eyes full of excitement.

For the loss to Lin Nan, most of the people in the Northern Turkic army were not satisfied, and they were provoked by Tuoba Totar with anger and hatred in their hearts, and their fighting spirit was high, and they hated to fight with Lin Nan on the spot and compete.

Now, according to Alan Zhebe's strategy, they are likely to give the "proud and arrogant" Sui army a head start, save the face lost in the past few days, and even take the opportunity to send Jieli back to the Turks safely, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Ming is a counterattack against Lin Nan. Darkness is to ensure the safety of Jieli, listening to the irrepressible below, whispering in surprise, Tuoba Totar can't help but applaud Alan Zhebe's plan in his heart, although he originally planned to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang, but when it comes to the plan, it is far less detailed than Alan Zhebe, and it is effective.

If the Sui army is really deceived, the Turkic army will not only be able to regain its dignity, but it is more likely to turn defeat into victory, and it is not impossible to retake Xiao Pass, Tuoba Totar looked at Alan Jebe tightly, looking at the latter's hot and determined eyes, and couldn't help but start to doubt Han Yan Tuoba's remarks.

How could a man who was intent on rebelling against the usurper be so heartfelt, so many times and so many times, taking on the most dangerous tasks, risking his own life? Could he be sure that he would be safe and sound? As soon as the thought came to his mind, Tuoba Totar shook his head and expelled him.

If Alan Jebe can really be sure that he is safe, unless he has colluded with the Sui army and Lin Nan, but if so, why should he risk his life every time, always take the safety of the Turks as his own responsibility, and disregard the hard work and life and death? After thinking for a moment, Tuoba Totoer's eyes couldn't help but warm a little, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "General Alan, your injuries have not healed yet, and I am afraid that you will not be able to do it if you stay to stop the enemy!"

"Zuo Khan, blocking the enemy is already a life of death, since Alan Zhebei is in poor health, he naturally can't drag down the army anymore, and it is best to stay and block the enemy. ”

After a pause, Alan Zhebe's eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he raised his head and said: "Today, I am in trouble, the Great Khan is seriously ill, and the last general should stand up as a minister and solve problems for the Great Khan, even if he dies in another country, it is just to prove his innocence and not shame his ancestors!"

Most of the people present were martial artists, and they naturally had a strong and heroic temperament in their bones, and they had a greater sense of identification with Alan Zhebe's approach, and even the eyes of the three of them were full of brilliance, and they were impressed by it.

"General Alain, don't be excited, you can see your heartfelt intentions, and you won't believe slander. After a pause, Tuoba Totar changed his words and said hesitantly: "It's just that your body is really not suitable for staying in Tongzhou City!" Tuoba Totoer's voice fell, and Alan Zhe immediately denied it without thinking about it: "Zuo Khan, the last general is willing to wash away the shame of our army with my blood, prove my innocence, and hope that Zuo Khan will be fulfilled!"

"This. ”

Seeing that Alain Jebel was so persistent, Tuoba Totar couldn't help but be embarrassed.

In the past few days, the Northern Turks have lost too many excellent generals, Alan Zhebei is young and promising, Wen Taowu is extraordinary, Tuoba Tuo Tuo really can't bear to watch him die in Tongzhou.

"I still hope that Zuo Khan will be fulfilled, and Alan Zhe will not die without regrets!" Alan Zhebel bowed in a deep voice again, Tuoba Totar looked at Ashina Simo, Tu Li glanced at it, and finally sighed helplessly and said: "General Alan, you get up, Ben Khan allows you to stay in Tongzhou and ambush the Sui army, but you have to agree to Ben Khan on one condition!"

"Zuo Khan, please speak, the last general will be absolutely obedient!" Alan Jebe showed a look of surprise in his eyes, it seemed to outsiders that his sincerity was worthy of admiration, but his approach was really a little stupid, but Alan Jebe knew that he had successfully obtained the recognition of Tuoba Totar, Tuli, and Ashnasmo, who were important in the Turks, which was an important weight for his career.

"Alan Jebe, as long as the army successfully retreats, you will evacuate Tongzhou City as soon as possible, Ben Khan hopes that you can bring home as many Turkic warriors as possible who remained in Tongzhou, so that no more tragedies will happen. Tuoba Totol took a deep breath, and a touch of sadness flashed on his vicissitudes of life.

Hundreds of thousands of compatriots stayed in a foreign country like this, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, which made Tuoba Totoer, as a commander, feel extremely guilty, and whenever he faced the confused and frightened eyes of the soldiers in the city, his heart twitched unconsciously, and he was often awakened by nightmares at night.

"The last general must remember the instructions of the Zuo Khan!" replied Alain Jebel quickly.

……

Outside the city of Tongzhou, the Sui army camp.

Lin Nan walked slowly from the stable to the school field, holding a blood-red war horse in his hand, this war horse is from the Khitan tribe, it is an extremely rare sweat and blood horse, strong and healthy, it was originally the mount of Nalan Snow Father Khan, but now it is handed over to Lin Nan for use, and only Lin Nan is such a brave and mighty figure as the god of war can really give full play to the ability of such a thousand-in-a-thousand war horse.

Next to Lin Nan, Nalan Xue was dressed in military uniform, standing next to a gentle black horse, and her heroic appearance was very moving.

When Lin Nan came to the school field, the 400,000 army had been assembled, ready to go, under the mobilization of Lin Nancai, everyone was like chicken blood, under the fire flashing with the wind, their faces were flushed, their eyes were hot and bloodthirsty, their bodies seemed to be boiling with blood, and their strength was drumming, and they did not vomit or be unhappy.

These 400,000 Sui troops were already the elite of the war, and now the Sui gathered together, the fierce and wild aura fused with the cold murderous aura, and then condensed with the high battle intent, the momentum was overwhelming, and the wind and clouds dispersed throughout the school field, making the light emitted by the swaying torches much weaker, and the dim sky became more gloomy and depressing.

Lin Nan walked up to the podium and was about to speak, but suddenly a scout came to report: "Your Majesty, the Turkic army has been divided into three parts half an hour ago, and they have withdrawn from Tongzhou from the west gate, north gate, and south gate of Tongzhou City. ”

"Oh?" Lin Nan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many people are there in the retreating Turkic army?"

"It was too dark to see the truth, judging from the number of torches, there should be seventy or eighty thousand men, and the gates of the city were wide open, and many of the materials and baggage were abandoned, and the enemy was always too anxious to retreat and not to transport them away. ”

"Okay, I see!" Lin Nan waved his hand and motioned for the scouts to go down, and he turned to the army that was already a little ready to move, his eyes were full of majesty, and he said in a low tone: "Brothers, the Turkic army is already afraid, and does not dare to fight our army head-on, and intends to abandon the city, this is a good time for our army to counterattack!"

"Your Majesty, in that case, what are you waiting for, you quickly give an order, let me Gao Dechang lead the army to chase the generals out, so that the remnants of the Turkic army can be wiped out!

"Dechang, don't be impatient. Although Gao Dehong is good at slapping horses, he has been loyal to himself all these years, and now he is dead at the hands of the Turks, not only Gao Dechang, but even Lin Nan wants to avenge him. (To be continued.) )
