Chapter 280: The Siege

In the middle of dawn, in the southwest sky, a sea of red had already appeared at this time, and the banners were unfurled for several miles. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info roughly look, I am afraid that there are no less than 30,000 people, although they are far away, but they exude a cold and murderous atmosphere, very fierce, and in the front, is a sky-high flag, the flag is embroidered with a big "Yang" word, iron painting silver hook, strong and powerful, when you see this handsome flag, Jieli heart of the last trace of luck is nothing.

Since the death of Yang Zhao, the king of Yan, the entire Great Sui, there can still be such a strong soldier, I am afraid that only the only one left is Yang Yu, the king of Qi who escaped from the capital division and has been in the fiefdom, Jieli is the Turkic Great Khan, leading the most elite Turkic iron cavalry, who in the world can make him fearful? But Jieli, who has sobered up from his anger, knows that with his own strength at this time, it will not be easy to defeat Yang Yu, the king of Qi.

Even if the 160,000 Turkic army can defeat Yang Yu, the king of Qi, it will suffer extremely huge losses, and it is no longer possible to break through the strong Xiao Pass, and most of the elite will be lost.

"The Turkic army is defeated, the Turkic army is defeated!" Just when Jieli weighed the pros and cons, the situation changed again, and there was a sudden earth-shattering cheer from the northern city of Xiaoguan, Jieli looked back in shock, and saw that the sky in the entire north had become red at some point. Jie Li couldn't understand this situation very well, just now he was worried that Lin Nan would set fire to the north, but now that worry has really come true, which makes Jie Li's already heavy mood more and more solemn.

"The rear formation changes to the front formation, shrinks the formation, retreats, retreats!" Although Jieli was very reluctant in his heart, he still gave this difficult order, although Jieli tried his best to retract the formation and slowly retreat, but the Turkic army, which was already panicked and lost its fighting spirit, could no longer resist the erosion of fear, and only cared about fleeing for his life, where could he still take care of Jieli's order.

"Jieli, you will definitely die today, hahahaha!" Seeing the retreat of the Turkic army, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing arrogantly, the rolling sound accompanied by the faint morning light completely tore the night sky, even though Jieli was eloquent and good at dancing, but at this time, he was also lacking in skills, and fled towards the west in embarrassment under the coercion of the Turkic army.

Hearing Lin Nan's disdainful laughter, the anger and humiliation in Jieli's chest could no longer be suppressed, and he couldn't help but open his mouth, "wow" and spit out a mouthful of blood, his body shook a few times, and he almost fell off the horse.

The defeat was like a mountain, a thousand miles of collapse, the Turkic army retreated on all fronts, how could Lin Nan give up the opportunity to beat the water dogs, he turned over and jumped on a war horse, and the thousand cavalry rushed out of the city, while shouting loudly, while chasing the horse.

"The long-haired one is Jieli, Hugh is going to run away Jieli dog thief!" At this time, the 30,000 army led by Yang Yun, the king of Qi, finally arrived, and the well-trained Qi army was like a wolf pack that saw its prey, and frantically killed the Turkic army under the order of Yang Yun, the king of Qi.

Although there is still a big gap between the combat effectiveness of the Qi army and the Turkic army, at this time, the Turkic army is all just running for their lives, and how can they be the opponents of the Qi army when their morale is low.

This is a massacre, a bloody massacre, under the pursuit of Yang Yu, Lin Nan, Luo Cheng and others, the Turkic army was panicked like a lost dog, crying father and mother, and constantly the Turkic army fell in a pool of blood, turning into meat at the feet of the Sui army, but more Turkic troops surrendered on their knees in fear.

Lin Nanzhi chased out a hundred miles before everyone stopped, one was already close to Tongzhou, afraid that the Turkic army still had reinforcements, and the other was that the Qi army of Yang Yu, the king of Qi, was coming from afar, and he was tired and tired, and he couldn't have much effect in chasing down.

Although Jieli still escaped, but Lin Nan did not have many regrets, Jieli hundreds of thousands of troops went south, and now there are less than 100,000 people left to flee back in embarrassment, already injured, I am afraid that it will be difficult to invade in a short time, until I fled into the territory of Tongzhou Jieli stopped at ease, and looked up, there were less than 5,000 people around him, and they were as rough as cattle, throwing away their armor and abandoning their armor, embarrassed.

"Great Khan, we were defeated, it was the stupidity of Weichen that caused the failure of this raid, and the loss of 100,000 troops, Weichen is willing to apologize with death, and hope that the Great Khan will be fulfilled!" Tuoba Totar knelt on the ground, his face was sad, the whole person seemed to be ten times older all of a sudden, Jieli's face was gloomy, and he wanted to say something, but a mouthful of reverse blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, his body shook, and he suddenly fell off the horse, and fainted.

On the battlefield in full swing, in the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.

"Jieli, you are at the end of your rope, where are you going to escape, why don't you hurry up and be arrested?" Lin Nan was covered in blood, his face was hideous, his scarlet eyes flashed with madness and bloodthirstiness, and the steel knife in his hand exuded a chill that made people's hearts palpitate.

"Don't you think about it, Ben Khan hasn't failed yet, Ben Khan wants to cut you with a thousand knives, break your corpse into thousands of pieces, and raze Xiao Guan to the ground!" Jieli panted like a cow, staring at Lin Nan a few meters away with his eyes, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

At this time, the long sword in his hand had been curled, and the armor on his body was even cracked in many places, and the red blood stained the robe, which looked extremely miserable and embarrassed.

However, Jieli's eyes were still full of rage, and he stared stubbornly and haughtily at the enemy opposite.

"Die!" Lin Nan roared, his body suddenly rushed out, and the bright sword light instantly blinded Jieli.

"Roar!" Jieli roared unwillingly, and the long sword in his hand swung forward with all his might.

The thunderous shouts suddenly disappeared, and the fierce wind disappeared without a trace, and Jieli looked around blankly, only to find that he was already in a magnificent mausoleum at some point, and a solemn and sad aura instantly enveloped him.

"Hayan Miluo ......" An old and hoarse voice came from behind him, Jieli was shocked, his real name has not been called for a long time, thinking of this, he hurriedly looked back, and saw an old man with white hair standing a few meters away, although he was dressed in a yellow robe, it was difficult to hide his nobility, but his face was withered and extremely weak.

When he saw the old man's appearance, Jieli was full of excitement, and his mouth grew in disbelief, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Hayan Miluo, you have disappointed your father Khan too much!"

"Father Khan!!" Jieli called excitedly, but the old man didn't look at him, and said with a heavy face: "The destruction of the Sui State and the domination of the world is my life's wish of the Hayan clan, the accumulation of several generations of ancestors, but you have fallen short and have been repeatedly defeated in the hands of Huangkou Xiaoer, how do you have the face to see your ancestors?"

"Father Khan, Weichen is incompetent!" Jieli knelt on the ground, ashamed.

"You go, don't appear in front of me again, I don't want to see you!" the old man shook his head, his body slowly retreated, and the figure slowly dissipated.

"Father Khan, don't go, don't go......" Jieli wanted to keep his hands in the depths, but the figure of the old man finally dissipated into the void, just when Jieli was ashamed and angry, and the pain was unbearable, the scene in front of him changed again. It was an empty space, with no clear boundary between heaven and earth, and the surrounding area was gray, and the damp and cold air made people shiver, and the silence was so silent that there was not a single sound and living creatures made people fearful.

At this moment, a sharp and piercing laughter suddenly echoed between heaven and earth, as unbearable as a night owl.

"Jieli, my good brother, you finally came down to accompany me, hahahaha!"

"Whoa, get out!" shouted Jie Li.

"It's only been a few years, don't you recognize you as a brother?" A ghostly white shadow appeared in front of Jieli, his hair was scattered, and his scarlet tongue hung long on his chin, which was in stark contrast to his pale complexion, Jieli was so shocked that he sat on the ground, and the cold air on his back spine was rising, and he couldn't help but tremble...... Chuluo, it's you, are you a human or a ghost?"

"I want to be a man, but it's a pity that you made me a ghost, and I'm still a grudge ghost!"

"I've been looking forward to it day and night, and I'm finally looking forward to you coming down to accompany me, quack!" said that, Chu Luo suddenly stretched out his hands with dark nails, and suddenly pinched Jieli's neck, Jieli wanted to dodge, but suddenly felt that his limbs were suddenly out of control, looking at the vicious Chuluo, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ahh

……

Jieli opened his eyes leisurely, and the blinding light made him quickly close his eyes again, and his sluggish and chaotic mind slowly woke up.

"Am I dead?" Jieli couldn't help but recall what happened before he lost consciousness, thinking of this, Jieli's eyes that had just been closed immediately opened, looked around, and shouted in a hurry and panic: "Chuluo, where are you?"

"Great Khan, are you awake? Great Khan is awake, come quickly!" In the fog, there was a surprise call in his ears, and then Jieli heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and many familiar faces soon appeared in front of him.

"Great Khan, you have finally woken up!" was the voice of Tuoba Totoer, his face was extremely haggard at this time, his eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person looked much older and decadent, and he no longer had the original sofa bold and energetic appearance.

Jieli shook his head slightly, trying to get up, only to find that he was lying on the bed, his body was sore, he could barely move, and his brain was even more groggy and unresponsive.

"Zuo Khan ......" voice was very dry and hoarse, obviously Jieli's body was extremely weak at this time.

"Great Khan, Minister!" said Tuoba Tuotar in a trembling voice, kneeling beside the bed, his cloudy eyes glinting with excitement and joy, and a gleam of water welled up in them, which made the bloodshot on his eyes fade a lot.

"Where is this?Ben Khan has been in a coma for a few days?" Jieli asked weakly, from the expressions on the faces of the courtiers around him, Jieli probably understood that he must have been in a coma for a long time, and the thrilling things before should have been nightmares.

It's just that after he came to his senses, Jieli's mood became heavier and heavier, he was defeated, defeated in the hands of a junior, and he was so embarrassed that he had no face.

"Great Khan, this is Tongzhou, you have been in a coma for three days and three nights, the heavens bless, Great Khan, you have finally woken up!" Tuoba Totoer's mood had calmed down a lot at this time, but it could still be seen from his face that he was obviously much more relaxed.

"Three days, so long?" Jie Li was stunned, muttered to himself, and then changed his words, and said with some eagerness: "Zuo Khan, what happened after Ben Khan fell into a coma that day, and what happened to Xiao Guan?" Hearing this, Tuoba Totoel couldn't help but fall silent, and the excitement and joy on the faces of the generals around him also subsided a lot, becoming a little heavy and serious.

"Speak, what the hell is going on?" Jieli's heart tightened, his breathing became more and more cramped and disordered, and a sickly blush suddenly appeared on his pale face, and he struggled to get up, but as soon as his body left the bed, he fell down heavily, and it was thanks to Tuoba Totoer's eyes that he quickly grabbed him, so that he did not suffer from the flesh and skin again.

"Great Khan, you have injuries on your body, don't be excited, lie down quickly!" Tuoba Totar looked at Jieli nervously and with concern, and waited for the latter's stiff body to relax, and his excited heart slowly calmed down before he continued: "Great Khan, yesterday Sui Lord Yang Yu and his brother Sui King Yang Yu led an army of 400,000 troops to Tongzhou, and now they are encamping twenty miles outside the city, and have not launched an attack on the city for the time being!" The Right Khan has already arranged all the defense work, and the city has sufficient supplies, if the Sui people dare to commit a rash offense, they will definitely not be able to please it!"

"Yang Yu!!" Jieli couldn't help but clench the futon. With a look of resentment and anger in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said. "160,000 troops, how many have returned?" Jieli still had a trace of luck in his heart. Tuoba Totar looked at Jieli, hesitated for a long time before hesitating and said, "Less than eight thousand." Jieli was shaken, his eyes widened, and his face was incredulous, the 160,000 army, the entire 160,000 army, was wiped out like this, and for many years, for many years, the Turks had not suffered such a heavy defeat...... Jieli's heart was dripping blood, his heart was twitching violently, the huge pain made him tremble slightly, and his breathing became more and more difficult.

"Great Khan ......" Tuoba Totar and the others exclaimed in shock, the maid helped him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the medical officer who accompanied the army immediately took the pulse of Jieli, everyone was nervous, and their hearts had just been put down and hung up again.

However, although a middle-aged man with a pale face standing behind everyone was also panicked and nervous, there was an inexplicable color flashing in his eyes.

Three days of cultivation made him recover a lot, and for three days, he didn't care about the pain in his body, and he had been waiting for Jieli with a cadre of civil and military forces until the latter woke up at this time.

"The Khan's body is still very weak and needs to be rested, so it should not be disturbed. The medical officer carefully examined Jieli's body, and then said to everyone with a solemn expression.

After speaking, the medical officer took a deep look at Tuoba Toller and then got up and left first, Tuoba Totoer's expression moved, and he looked at Jieli with concern and said: "Great Khan, Xiao Guan's defeat is all the fault of Weichen's improper command, Wechen is willing to accept any punishment from you, I only hope that Dahan you will be well as soon as possible!"

"......Huh" Jieli closed his eyes, waved his hand tiredly, and said slowly: "This matter can be discussed later, the top priority is to stick to Tongzhou, Zuo Khan, please!" The shame and self-blame on Tuoba Totoer's face became more and more serious, and a touch of determination flashed in his eyes, he bowed to the end sharply, and said categorically: "Great Khan, you can cultivate with peace of mind, and Weichen will not bother!" You can rest assured, but if Weichen still has a breath, he will never let the Sui people step into Tongzhou City!" Jieli did not speak, and his breathing became long and smooth.

Tuoba Totar got up silently, and after instructing the maid to wait for Jieli, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave together, and when Tuoba Totar returned to the courtyard where he temporarily lived in the original Thorn Shi Mansion in Tongzhou, the medical officer who had previously treated Jieli was already waiting at the door as he expected.

Tuoba Totar and the medical officer glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, they walked into the house together, Tuoba Totar retreated from everyone, then closed the door, and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Wang, how is the health of the Great Khan?" Jieli is related to the rise and fall of the Turks, and all people are dying, so Tuoba Totar cannot be allowed to be careless and cautious, especially at this time when the Turkic army is newly defeated and the military spirit is fluctuating, any small change may cause great turmoil.

Doctor Wang shook his head gloomily, frowned, and said worriedly: "The Great Khan was originally angry and attacked his heart, and he suffered from the wind and cold, which caused serious heart and lung injuries and extremely weak bodies, and the most worrying thing is that the Great Khan has a depression in his heart, and if it cannot be resolved, it will be very difficult to fully recover. Now that the Sui army is pressing, I am only afraid of ......" Although Doctor Wang did not finish speaking, Tuoba Totar had already understood what he meant, and his face suddenly became extremely serious and solemn, and he understood that it was not the body that was sick, but the heart. The failure of the battle of Xiaoguan, not only Jieli was hit, but even Tuoba Totar was also unacceptable, for decades, Tuoba Totar had never lost so embarrassed and miserable, and the Turkic losses this time were also unprecedentedly heavy, before and after 160,000 troops were buried on the land of the Sui State, and such a big loss in exchange for only a small Tongzhou, and the expected goal is so much different.

In this battle of Xiaoguan, Tuoba Totoer's command actually did not make much mistakes, and the real reason was actually his insufficient estimation and understanding of the enemy.

The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, Tuoba Totar and Jieli originally thought that they knew Yang Yu well enough, but in fact they still looked down on him, and at the same time looked down on Luo Yi and Yang Yu.

"Doctor Wang, this is from your mouth and into my ears, and you must not let a third person know!" Tuoba Tuo Tuo looked at Doctor Wang with burning eyes, and said in a cold voice. "Zuo Khan rest assured, the lower officials will never dare to talk nonsense!" Doctor Wang trembled and replied in fear, in the November weather, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face turned pale.

Seeing Doctor Wang's answer, Tuoba's face turned slightly pale, and his tone couldn't help but be much softer: "Doctor Wang, the body of the Great Khan has to worry about you a lot, what do you need, just mention it to the old man!"

"The lower official understands, the lower official resigns!" Doctor Wang agreed with sincere fear, and then left immediately.

Seeing Doctor Wang leave, looking at the re-closed door, the momentum of Tuoba Totoer's body suddenly dissipated, and the whole person became vicissitudes and sadness, his eyes were confused and gloomy, and he muttered: "Could it be that this is the calamity of my fate? Is it the calamity of the Turks?"

"No, even if you are crushed, you have to keep Tongzhou safe. Tuoba's sloppy eyes suddenly became firm, his cloudy eyes radiated a dazzling essence, and his murderous aura was awe-inspiring, "Yang Yu, I want to see what else you can do!"

…… Twenty miles outside the city of Tongzhou, the commander of the Sui army.

"What's the news about Tongzhou?" Lin Nan stared at a map on the table, it was the map of the entire territory of Tongzhou, the mountains, rivers, counties, towns and towns were all marked very clearly, this map was secretly surveyed and mapped by Lin Nan, far more detailed than the maps in circulation today.

"Your Majesty, although Tuoba Totar tried his best to block the news, we have no way of knowing the situation of Jieli, but Weichen concludes that something must have happened to Jieli. After a pause, Luo Cheng said with a firm face: "There are abnormalities and demons, and Jieli did not preside over military affairs for three days, which has explained everything." ”

Lin Nan nodded, and asked again, "What do you think General Luo has to attack Tongzhou at this time?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't think this is the best time to attack!" Luo Cheng said with a smile and shook his head.

"Oh?" Lin Nan turned his head and looked at Luo Cheng with an inquiring expression, Luo Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, and said with confidence: "Your Majesty, although it may be possible to take Tongzhou City with the advantage of our army, but a fight will inevitably cause us huge losses, which is not a good thing." The current situation is reversed, and we only need to slowly exert pressure on Tongzhou, so that the Turkic army can be defeated without attacking!" )
