In Qin Qiong's Chinese army tent, there was a dead silence, and the news that Jieli Khan's more than 200,000 troops were about to converge made many people feel frightened by the upcoming battle.

After a long time, Ashina Simo spoke: "As General Qin said, we have no way out, we can only fight, otherwise, our wealth will become the wealth of Jieli, our women will become Jieli women, our brothers and sons will die, and they will become slaves." ”

When the others heard this, they immediately showed resolute expressions.

Qin Qiong saw that the success had aroused the decisive heart of the Turks, and his hanging heart was relieved, if these people did not cooperate, then he could really only retreat in disgrace. Seeing that Ashina Simo had made a decision, he was not in a hurry.

At this time, Ashina Simo looked at Qin Qiong, who had a calm face, and said, "How General Qin says to fight, we will fight." ”

"Since you can't defend it, then replace it with offense!" Qin Qiong snorted coldly, his eyes swept over the generals under his command, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not only about the rise and fall of our army, but also about the millions of people in my Great Sui Pass and the state!" It's about the life and death of your whole clan! We can retreat, but you have no way out! Once we retreat without a fight, everything for you will be finished, and this battle will be fought to the death, and we will fight! Not for me, but for yourselves. ”

"General Gao Yi!" Ashina Simo, Suwu, Hera and other Turkic generals said solemnly: "The last general is willing to resist to the death." ”

Qin Qiong said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, the more than 100,000 Jieli troops in Dujin Mountain seem to be powerful, but they are actually not worth mentioning!" ”

Everyone was stunned!

"From Yudu Jin Mountain to here, it is two days away! If we start a war in two days, our enemy will still be only this 100,000 army, what do you think? ”

Isn't that exactly what happened?

Everyone thought about Qin Qiong's words, and found that their enemy was still the 100,000 people they had to swallow before, and in an instant, they were all in good spirits

"Ask the general to give the order." One by one, it was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"First of all, the news of the southward movement of the army of Yudu Jinshan must not be spread, we can just know it, otherwise, the army's morale will be in chaos."

"Yes!" Everyone knows the consequences of the news leakage, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, why wasn't he scared to death just now?

Qin Qiong looked at the sun that was about to fall, and said in a deep voice: "Jieli wants to eat us, but he remains cautious, trying to annihilate us in one fell swoop with absolute superiority, Jieli is a shrewd person, he knows the difference between 60,000 more people defending the city and 60,000 less!" If we put on the appearance of retreating into the Great Wall, he will definitely lead the army to attack with the advantage of troops. ”

"As for Jieli's upcoming reinforcements to the south, I will hand it over to General Xue Wanche to delay!" Qin Qiong looked at Xue Wanche and said in a deep voice: "When our army retreats, you order five thousand men and horses, bring five days' rations, and ride two people. Take advantage of the darkness to break away from the army, and then make a detour north, trying to delay the time. ”

"General Qin, it's not that the last general looks down on the Great Sui soldiers, but when it comes to horsemanship, we Turks are stronger. Why don't you go by the end! Hera, the Turkic captain, stood up and saluted.

"The cavalry of the Sui army is indeed inferior to the grassland warriors, but who of the grassland warriors has the will and courage to fight after a thousand miles and a long-distance attack? Can you run day and night? ”

When introducing the habits of the Turkic people, Yang Tong once expressed such a feeling: "'The Turkic director is only a horse and a shot, and when he sees the advantage, he will move forward when he sees the difficulty, and he will go when he knows the difficulty, and he will not be constant; With bows and arrows as minions, armor as regular uniforms, the team does not line up, and the battalion has no fixed place; Chase water and grass for the living room, take sheep and horses as military food, win and seek wealth, and there is no shame in defeat; There is no night patrol, no cost of building fortifications, no tenacious will, and no heroic death. ’”

These few simple sentences analyze the character of the Turkic people thoroughly. Mounted archery is the root of the Turks, but except for mounted archery, they don't have a fart.

"This ......" Everyone couldn't help but be silent when they heard this, even Ashina Simo was not confident that in this case, he would be able to delay the army of more than 100,000 with 5,000 Turks, let alone meet the army of more than 100,000, if he really arrived in that environment, it is estimated that he would have run away cleanly.

The level of cavalry and archery of the Sui army is indeed inferior to that of the Turks, but everyone is able to bear hardships and stand hard work, have a tenacious will, and strictly abide by military discipline, which is difficult for the Turks to beat!

The Turks were self-aware, and none of them spoke.

"General Qin, if I leave, who will supervise the army on your behalf?" Xue Wanche said with some concern.

Qin Qiong's gaze swept over everyone under the tent, and finally landed on a heroic Sui Army Ying Yang Lang general, and said slowly: "Fan Ze has a calm personality, he can be my deputy general and supervise the army on my behalf." ”

Fan is the youngest grandson of the late famous general, Jin Ziguanglu doctor, and Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who has a profound family knowledge, exquisite martial arts, and strict military management.

After arranging the task, Qin Qiong looked at Xue Wanche and said in a deep voice: "Although General Xue is brave, he has an irritable personality, this matter is related to the life and death of our army, and there is no room for loss, do you understand?" ”

Xue Wanche nodded solemnly, bowed down and said, "The last general understands that everything is based on safety. ”

Qin Qiong said to everyone: "This battle is very important, I hope everyone can do their best to cooperate with this general." ”

"Yes!" All are in order.

"Pull out the camp now!"

……

The two armies were only separated by a hundred miles, and Qin Qiong evacuated here, and Jieli Khan received the news as soon as possible.

"Father Khan, I just got the news that Ashina Simo has withdrawn south, and this traitor is scared when he sees that Father Khan's army is strong!" Gu wanted to rush into the king's tent of Jieli Khan and congratulate his father.

"All gone?"

Jieli Khan was discussing with Qibi He Li, Yi Lost Bowl, Ashina Sheer and others how to proceed and where to start, when they suddenly heard the news of Ashina Simo's withdrawal, and they were all stunned.

"Well, they're all gone! Many baggage and tents did not dare to take them, and they left in a hurry. Gu wanted to set up an excited road.

"This bastard, but he walked simply." Jieli Khan slapped it on the table and said hatefully.

"Father Khan, Ashina Simo took the initiative to evacuate and let our army blow them away without moving a single soldier, why are you not very happy when you look at Father Khan?" Gu wanted to look at Jieli Khan suspiciously. He didn't know Jieli's plan, so he didn't know that Ashinasimo's retreat ruined Jieli's plan.

"Happy?"

Jieli Khan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Our army in Dujin Mountain will arrive here in two days, Ashina Simo obviously heard the information, so he broke his arm to survive, if he continues to stay here, our army can annihilate one by one, and then take advantage of the great victory army to go south!" Now that he has withdrawn like this, the battle will not be easy to fight. ”

"So what are we going to do? Do you want to fight? Gu Yushe looked at Jieli Khan with some ignorance, he couldn't understand this kind of question.

"Yes, why not?" Jieli Khan smiled coldly: "Send someone to inform the army in Dujin Mountain and let them go south as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, he handed a golden wolf arrow to a general, and then sent Gu Xiangshe, a stunned young son, out, he rubbed his faintly painful forehead, looked at the generals around him and said: "Ashina Simo obviously guessed our intentions, and planned to return to Baicheng immediately, and then fight with us according to the Great Wall, and we have no siege equipment, if we attack strongly, we will definitely suffer a big loss, and it is really unwise to storm the city." ”

Everyone agreed, and some of the high-ranking generals who participated in the siege of Yanmen and the Battle of Mayi breathed a sigh of relief.

When the initial Bi Khan led an army of 400,000 and many siege equipment, it was carried down by Yang Guang, when the division of nearly one million Qin Wang of the Great Sui was about to arrive, and the army was about to run out of Shibi Khan's dilemma. In the Battle of Mayi, Shibi Khan and more than 300,000 troops were completely annihilated by the Great Sui under the White Wolf City, which also made the leaders of the various tribes change color when they heard about the siege of the city. Now when they heard that Jieli Khan did not mean to storm the city, everyone was relieved.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Jieli Khan's mouth, this is the consequence of not having military might, if he is as strong as his eldest brother Shibi, even if he wants these people to die, no one dares to object to half a sentence.

He leaned forward slightly, looked at the generals, and said slowly: "We won't attack the city, but we can't let Ashina Simo go back." If he returns to the Monan Khan Court in its entirety. Because once we withdraw and disband the army, then he will come again, and when the time comes, it may be me, maybe Xue Yantuo, or maybe the Khambi...... There may be every time you sit in it. ”

Everyone's hearts were awe-struck.

Not to mention, Yang Tong's raid at the beginning of the year was a devastating blow to people outside the three tribes of Qibi, after Yang Tong left, they were left with a ruin, and the old and weak children of the tribe who survived the raid in the Sui army because of lack of food and clothing were almost all dead. After that, Ashina Simo galloped across the grassland without any worries, bringing huge losses to everyone. If Ashnasmo's main army is not eliminated, then the disaster will continue.

They also used this method to deal with the Great Sui before, and it can be said that it has been tried and tested. It is precisely because I know too well this tactic of being crippled when weak and retreating when strong, that I know that the beaten side will always be in a passive situation. Therefore, no one objected to Jieli Khan's decision to annihilate this lone army.

Jieli Khan saw everyone's opposition in his eyes, and smiled with satisfaction, what Mr. Zhao said was not bad, this reason was put on the bright side, and the effect was a hundred times better than the domineering way pursued by the eldest brother Shibi Khan.

"We have an army of 100,000, and it is impossible to lose to the frightened Ashnasmo! This battle is related to the interests of each of you, so I hope that everyone can work together to fight this battle, whoever drags his feet will be the enemy of the various tribes of the grassland, and don't blame me for being unkind when the time comes. Jieli Khan said this, staring at Qi He Li with a pair of murderous eyes.

Qi Bi He Li was shocked in his heart, at this critical moment, if he raised objections, it would be an enemy of everyone, and he would end up with the same death as his father.

He pressed his hand on his chest, and at this time he also clapped his case, and shouted: "The Turkic Great Khan is the head goose of the steppe, and all the steppe geese should fly with you, and the three warriors such as Qibi are no exception, and they are willing to obey the orders of the Great Khan." Ashina Simo became the dog of the Sui Dynasty, it was too uninteresting, as long as the Khan gave an order, I would like to be the striker. ”

"Haha! Good ......" Jieli Khan was still very happy about the statement of Qibi He Li, and laughed proudly: "On the grassland, there is a harvest of my Jieli, and there must be a share of your three parts of Qibi, everyone can only follow me Jieli, don't worry about not harvesting, let alone being forcibly annexed." ”

He Li breathed a sigh of relief, he clenched his fists in his chest, bowed down and said, "Thank you Great Khan!" ”

"Pull out the camp now! Pursue! ”
