(Commuter Pass)

The Turkic cavalry from the north stopped first, and the cattle and sheep left by the Sui army delayed their movements, no way, cattle and sheep are the foundation of the grassland tribe, and the grassland people saw the cattle and sheep, they were too kind, and directly regarded these things left by the Sui army as their own trophies.

Since it is a trophy, it has to be kept well, which undoubtedly delays time.

However, perhaps completely enraged by the actions of the Sui army, they converged with a Turkic army from the west that had heard the news, and the number increased greatly, leaving more than 1,000 people, driving cattle and sheep northward, and the rest of the Turkic troops under the leadership of the leader, followed.

This time, Li Po didn't dare to lead the troops back.

The Turks' tails were very thick, and they almost swept away the Sui army that picked up the cheap.

Leaving so many cattle and sheep did not satisfy the Turks, or even divide the troops, Li Po had no choice but to play the game of chasing and fleeing in the wilderness of Mayi.

In fact, at this time, due to the looting behavior of the Heng'an Zhen army, the Turkic tribes that fell behind the Turkic army slowly gathered.

In this way, it will undoubtedly delay their time out of the customs, but the main force of the army will not wait for them, because the army needs to arrive at Dingxiang County as soon as possible and settle down.

The wind and snow on the grassland and the horses are two different things here, if the movement is too slow, not to mention that the people can not stand it, the herds of cattle and sheep may freeze to death on the march.

This is not uncommon.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks repeatedly violated the border and fought with the Sui people. In many cases, it is not left behind.

But in the end. Even if there were a few wins, but in the end. It will still be found by the Sui people.

Thousands of cattle, sheep and slaves, if they fall behind the army, will be taken away by the Sui army, and this kind of thing has not happened once or twice.

At that time, almost every Sui army general guarding the border knew that as long as they persisted, the Turks would definitely withdraw their troops and then chase their tails and kill them, as long as they were careful, they would definitely get something.

It's almost a routine. It has also become a stubborn disease that the Turks cannot overcome.

Of course, don't take it lightly.

This is undoubtedly a special period of time, and the formation of laws that only belong to this time period.

Because the Sui people had a large number of war horses, a large number of extremely good cavalry, and a large number of excellent cavalry generals, when they launched an attack, their logistics were even faster than that of the grassland tribes.

In other words, the steppe tribes could not take advantage of any speed of marching, but they would be attacked by cattle and sheep. Slaves and other loot slow things down.

Therefore, some examples of such battles can only occur during this period of time, and later generations are basically unable to imitate them.

It's still the same old saying. After hundreds of years of war, the Central Plains Empire has indeed come to an era when the folk customs are the most fierce and wild.

The predecessors cannot be compared, and the later generations are even more difficult to match.

Hold down the things that Beihu beats. It also generally occurs during this time period.

However, in the winter of the eleventh year of the Great Cause. The weakened Great Sui is no longer able to continue to create brilliance. When the Turkic army went north, only the poor Baba more than 7,000 Heng'an troops hung behind the Turkic army.

They did make the Turks' backward men and horses and the main force of the army begin to quickly disconnect, but they themselves could not eat this tail, which was stronger than them, and they were chased everywhere.

Li Po, who has almost been promoted to an escape expert, took the Hengan Zhenjun and played a game of chasing me and running away with the Turks.

Of course, this is a very brutal game.

If you are not careful, a lot of blood will be shed.

In two days and one night, the scouts of the Sui army have changed several times, and at this time, scouts have become a high-risk occupation for both the soldiers of the Sui army and the Turks.

The sound of the horn sounded from time to time in the northern part of Mayi.

At this time, the Sui army had already arrived at the southeastern edge of Yunnei Horse Farm, and they were already considered to have broken away from the Turkic army.

Except for the Turkic rangers who appeared from time to time, the Sui army had not seen the shadow of the Turks for a day.

When they arrived here, they could reach Shenwu City in less than a day's journey south, and Yunnei City was already in their northeast direction, and it could be seen that the Sui army had no intention of returning to Yunnei City at all.

They were still trying to find fighters, because both Li Po and the generals in the army almost understood that as long as they defeated these Turks chasing behind, then it was likely that there would not be much resistance in front.

All they had to do was march all the way to catch up with the Turkic troops who were driving cattle and sheep, and they would be able to return with a full load.

Therefore, the goal of the Sui army became clear again, all the way south, dragging this Turkic force and competing with them for endurance and will.

Everyone also understands that this is a very dangerous thing.

After all, the Turks came from Mobei, and their ability to endure wind and cold was much stronger than that of the Sui people.

The Sui army was not without dependence, they were familiar with the terrain here, and they could always find a place to shelter from the wind and cold at night, but the Turks could only stay in the wilderness.

The two armies began to light bonfires at night to keep warm, but apparently, this did not meet the needs of the army.

In the chase the next day, Li Po played another trick, and he divided his troops.

The Turks did speed up their march, but unlike the arrogant stupidity of the attached ions, they did not divide their troops, but only recognized the larger Sui army and caught up.

In the evening, the Turks finally discovered that the despicable Sui were once again united.

On the third day, the Turks finally stopped, and after an unknown number of quarrels, they reflexively began to march north, apparently not intending to spend any more time with the Sui army.

The Sui army was not lightly frozen, but they did not hesitate to follow up again, which shows that after several wars, the tenacity of the Heng'an town army has increased significantly.

The Turks were directly annoyed, and reflexively rushed over, and the Sui army continued to flee.

If this is the third, Shenwu City has already vaguely looked at it, and Li Po rushed into this silent tomb with his men and horses without hesitation.

The Turks finally became frightened, and they understood better than the Sui army what it would mean if one side was well rested in such a pursuit.

The unfamiliarity with the terrain once again made them suffer a big loss.

At night, the Sui army slept honestly in Shenwu City, without the slightest scruple that there might be countless unjust souls here, and even many Sui soldiers directly moved some frozen corpses of ordinary people to the street, and occupied the houses themselves.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the Sui army was full of food and drink, and although the fatigue had not gone, the spirit was refreshed.

Moreover, the tragic situation in Shenwu City made their morale even higher, of course, this was an additional effect of hatred.

At this point, the role of chasing and fleeing has completely changed.

The Sui army, which was already less than 7,000 people, pursued the Turkic brigade of more than 8,000 people, which has to be said to be a very dramatic change.

But on the battlefield, there is no shortage of precedents for this kind of thing, the time and place are favorable, and perhaps as long as one is used properly, it can produce unexpected effects.

This time, both the Turks and the Sui army had no scruples and marched north at full speed.

The three-day chase made the already tired Turks even more tired, and the cold north wind was taking away the little heat from their bodies.

Horses were the first creatures that could not be supported, and the Sui army had already tasted the bitterness in these days, with horses rapidly decreasing by one-third, and non-combat attrition increasing one after another.

And now, it was the turn of the Turks, and during the chase, the Sui army could see the frozen war horses of the Turks from time to time.

After a while, in the wilderness, Turkic people began to appear one by one, sitting on the ground, or lying on the ground, most of them dead.

Li Po has seen this kind of scene a lot in Liaodong, and when he was camping before, once the army was opened, he would find that some people had not woken up at all, and they had already frozen to death in the night.

The Turks in front finally stopped, because the night was gradually approaching, and it was impossible for them to walk in the cold wind for another night, so maybe they would be frozen to death on the road in groups without the Sui army catching up.

Their only hope now is that the people sent out to ask for help can find a reinforcement army, in fact, they don't need any reinforcements, as long as the people in front can leave some cattle and sheep, then they can survive.

…………………………

Night crept in, but the bright moon had disappeared into the dark clouds, and the land was dark, only the north wind howled in the air.

"Five hundred, I want five hundred people who dare to die, rush over at night and drag the Turks, who wants to take on this heavy responsibility?"

Li Po's face was already frozen and blue, but the vitality of life was still surging in him, his strength was undoubted, but this period of leading the troops to fight left too many traces on his face.

His stubble had grown old, and his cheeks had rapidly thinned, but his eyes had become sharper and sharper, and the majesty on his body had become heavier day by day, mixed with the murderous aura on his body, like a fire, grilling himself and burning others.

The surrounding crowd was quiet for a while, the Turks did not do this, but their poor night fighting skills were always in vain, and they even sent two thousand people to prepare to go around to the front of the Sui army at night, but they were also discovered by the Sui army, who were waiting for the battle, so they could only hurry at night and get rid of them.

This time, it was obvious that the Sui army had done one.

This is indeed a task to fight for their lives, but there is no need to doubt the courage of the generals of the Sui army.

At the same time, five or six voices rang out, banging on their breastplates and roaring like wild beasts, "The last will go." ”

"Join the army, let me bring someone over."

"......" (To be continued.) )
