(Commuter Pass)

In August of the 11th year of the Great Cause, if you climb any of the peaks located in Mayi, you will see a sight that you will never forget.

Like a tidal wave, the army spread through the wilderness, densely packed, black and oppressive like a dark cloud, stretching to the end of the sky.

The sound of horses' hooves, like rolling thunder, became the only sound between heaven and earth.

Behind the army, there were countless cattle, sheep and horses, and everywhere they passed, even the turf was gnawed away.

For more than ten years, the Turks once again marched southward, and the prosperity of the army was unprecedented.

In the words of later generations, it is the prosperity of Rong Di, and it is unprecedented in ancient times.

Nearly 300,000 Turkic troops flocked south, and the scene was not far behind that of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty who led a million-strong army to the north.

This was the most powerful season for the Turks, and it was also the weakest moment for the Central Plains Empire, so this shocking scene appeared in the territory of the Great Sui.

It's almost a necessity......

But every necessity must also be a collection of all kinds of accidents.

Whether it is Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, or his favorite minister Pei Ju, or Li Jing of Mayi County, there are countless other people's causes and effects in between, which has only formed the result of ten years of great cause.

These big men manipulate the course of history, and then blend into it but are manipulated by history, but whether it is the heroes who create the current situation, or the current situation that creates heroes.

For most people in the world, it's not a good thing.

The Turks went south, and in mid-August, the city of Shenwu was broken. It's not how fierce the Turks attacked, but someone opened the gates. The Turks were welcomed into the city.

And when the Turks first came to your land, they said that they still couldn't let go. So he killed some people, and robbed some things and women, and stopped.

But on the Yanmen side, it's different......

However, how about Yanmen, the main force of the Turkic army did not stay in Mayi for long, but only sent troops to surround several large cities in Mayi, in fact, it was only for surveillance, and did not attack the city, and the main force quickly entered the territory of Yanmen.

Of course, Yunnei City is not immune. The Turks stepped on the smoke and dust in the sky and appeared under the city of Yunnei.

But...... Poor Baba's more than 20,000 people, stationed under the city of Yunnei, and howling for the people in the city to surrender quickly, otherwise entering the city, it will be a chicken and dog without leaving clouds, for Heng'an Town, which has been preparing for half a year, it is a bit of a fantasy.

Now the Heng'an town army stationed in the city has more than 10,000 people.

And. Most of them can be said to be the elite of the soldiers of the Mayi Prefecture, and the strong force of the border army stationed in the border area.

Even if 100,000 Turks came to the current Yunnei City, they would have a headache. Not to mention that there are only so many people, they will definitely not succeed in attacking the city, what it depends on is whether the Sui army has the desire to fight with them in the field.

A group of people lay on the head of Yunnei City and looked down. It is known that the Turks went south, and the beacon fire of the defenders of the Great Wall. lit a string of three or four hundred Great Wall guards who fled frantically to Yunnei City. His face was as white as a dead man's.

The army, the overwhelming army, the army that cannot be counted at all.

This is the first more detailed enemy information obtained by the Hengan town army.

But now, a group of generals, looking at the messy tents built by the Turks under the city, have question marks on their heads, what about the damn Turkic army?

20,000 people is actually not too little, and such a group of cavalry would be a very formidable force on the grassland.

But it is still too far from what they imagined, according to the strength of the Heng'an Zhen Army, how can the Turks come to forty or fifty thousand people, right?

If you want to capture Yunnei City, then 100,000 people are not too much.

Especially after seeing a large army campaign, this part of the people who fled back from Liaodong, looking at the Turkic camp under the city, and the Turkic cavalry running around the city, all feel that the Turkic army is really small and pitiful.

"I'm afraid there is fraud." This is more sensible.

"Damn, whatever, I'm willing to lead my troops out of the city to fight and see how capable they are." It's more bloody.

"Wait, maybe it's the Turks' forward department." This is the belief that the Turks should be quite smart.

"20,000 horsemen is not a small number, Gongcheng is not good, if we want to fight in the field, we are not opponents." This is more realistic.

"Why don't I take someone out of the city tonight and test it?" This is obviously more cunning.

Li Bi and Li Po glanced at each other, but they both had some confidence in their hearts.

It's not that they're smarter than others, it's that they've gotten more information than others, and the reason why they've kept it secret is because they're afraid that the Turks will come in large numbers, but everyone will be lucky and incapable of fighting.

Now, it's okay, the Turks didn't take Heng'an Town and Yunnei City in their eyes at all.

The reason is that there are only two, one is that the emperor's aura is too bright, which leads away the main Turkic force, so that the Turks are not willing to waste their troops here in Yunnei City.

Second, the Turks may not know that the strength of the Heng'an Zhen army has swelled several times in this year, so they underestimated the enemy.

Of course, the most important point is that as long as Emperor Yang Guang is captured, the battle situation in the North may instantly turn in another direction.

No matter how strong the Beidi city is, no matter how many troops there are, maybe as long as the emperor Yang Guang is pulled around outside the city, many fortified fortresses can be left without a fight.

Moreover, time is also important, it is already August, heavy snow can fall at any time, although late autumn and early winter are the best time for the Turks to use their troops.

But if the weather is colder and the Turkic skin is thicker, he will not be able to survive the winter in the north, so there is not much time for the Turks, only two or three months.

Li Bi and Li Po both breathed a sigh of relief, now it seems that the worst has not happened, Yunnei City must be safe and sound, and the biggest danger may only appear when the Turks retreat.

As for the more than 20,000 Turkic cavalry in front of him, it is still the same sentence, if he meets it on the grassland, it will be a very difficult battle, but it is difficult to say who wins and who loses.

And now, unless you are a heavenly soldier, otherwise, you don't even want to touch the head of Yunnei City.

Li Po waved his hand, and the rather noisy discussion stopped abruptly.

This highlighted Li Po's extraordinary status, not only because he had a very close relationship with Li Bi, the general of Heng'an Town, but also because, in the more than a year after the Heng'an Town Army became an army, he showed extraordinary talent and decisiveness, and he had established his own prestige in the army.

Especially after the attack on the Eight Faces Tower, there was also a battle with the Turkic Khan's account guards, killing hundreds of Turkic warriors and returning with blood after the news spread in the army.

He faintly became another leader in the Heng'an army.

Everyone quieted down, Li Po motioned for Li Bi to speak, Li Bi pursed her lips, but squinted her eyes at him, this is a concession from the love of the two people.

But the others don't understand, looking at these two eyebrows, they are all cold, and their hearts say, when is this, can you not be so heartless, do you want the military heart?

In the end, Li Po opened his mouth, there was no way, he wanted to marry someone else as a mother-in-law, and people seemed to want to use Hengan Zhenjun as a dowry, so your bride price must be about the same, right? So, it seems that this battle is going to be a big one.

Li Po's face gradually sank, patted the battlements, and said: "There's nothing to say, we will suffer a loss when we go out of the city, so let the Turks in and give the order ......."

…………………………

The next day, the city of Yunnei was as quiet as ever, and the Turks were not tired, and continued to shout under the city, and there was no sign of attacking the city at all.

At noon, the Turks made some movements, and brought in some ragged men, all of whom were not young, numbering in the hundreds.

The Turks howled, rows of scimitars cut off, and their heads rolled to the ground, and a cavity of blood spurted out, adding hundreds of unjust souls to the place of Yunnei City in a short time.

These are some Sui people who are reluctant to leave their homeland, and the Hu people will always show their cruelty intentionally or unintentionally, whether in the past or in the future, it seems that it has never changed.

Then it was the old drama, one by one the Sui people who fled north to the Turks rode to the city on war horses, loudly proclaiming the benevolence of the Turkic Khan, promising countless conditions, and then a burst of intimidation.

Obviously, the Turkic generals who led the troops were eager to take the city, move their Chinese army to the city, and enjoy it comfortably for a while.

They didn't know at all that the anger in the hearts of the soldiers of Heng'an Town at the head of the city had been ignited by them.

The strong and strong Northland men may not have so much loyalty to give, and perhaps they are also willing to serve the Turkic Khan under the banner of the Turkic golden wolf.

But they live in Mayi, where their homeland is located, and the people who were killed like dogs by the Turks in front of them are their hometown fathers.

Suddenly, everything I had heard about the Turks became clear.

The rough faces began to become distorted and hideous, and the eyes slowly appeared bloodshot, and the blood did not make them afraid and afraid, but made them hateful.

An arrow shot down from the city, accurately shooting a shouting Sui man down the war horse.

Suddenly, there was a cheer from the city, but the Turks under the city responded angrily, and arrows flew up and down the city in a cursing voice.

The first exchange between the Heng'an Zhenjun and the Turks began.

Condescendingly, the soldiers of Heng'an Town, who were well-bowed and arrowed, obviously took a great advantage, and one by one the Turkic cavalry who accidentally entered the firing range fell off their horses, but only one Sui soldier in the city was accidentally shot by a stray arrow, becoming the first unlucky person to be wounded in the Heng'an Town Army.

It wasn't until the officers of the two armies shouted loudly that the soldiers under their command stopped this senseless firefight. (To be continued.) )
