By this time, it didn't matter what raids were or not.

The Turks and the Sui army were like two exhausted bulls wrestling with horns, panting and glaring at each other.

The scars on the Turks were a little heavier, and in fact, perhaps just a day longer, the Turks' will to fight would suddenly crumble.

Because they have walked in the wind and snow for too long, to the point that even the body and will they have sharpened in Mobei can no longer bear it.

But they also have a glimmer of hope, that is, maybe the people in front of them will come back to rescue them, or in the same sentence, there are not many people, just drive the sheep over, and they will be saved.

They can use flocks to block the Sui army's attacks, they can use flocks to keep warm, and they can also get meat and drink hot blood to gain strength against the cold.

But the Sui army did not give them this opportunity.

Behind them, the trumpets sounded almost all night, and the Turks not only had to endure the increasingly cold weather of the night, but also had to open their sour eyes in horror and stare at the darkness in front of them, beware of the Sui army rushing in the darkness.

Their leader was wise enough not to let the warriors continue in the night.

In that case, they would not be able to go far and would be swallowed up by the night, because the Turkic warriors had already survived the journey for two days and one night.

And the Sui army behind them has also exhausted all methods and achieved more and more obvious advantages in this wrestling.

Five hundred strong men, under the leadership of the battalion lieutenant Guo Chong, before dawn. It was the darkest time of the day when I rode my horse. Recklessly, he launched a decisive attack on the Turks.

The sound of horses' hooves, even with snow as a foreshadowing, can be heard far and wide on this quiet night.

The Turks blew their horns with whimpering. The sound echoed in the ink-stained night, but it was like a dying wail.

In the darkness, countless Turkic warriors shouted in panic, stood up with difficulty, climbed on their horses, and trembled and drew their scimitars to prepare for battle.

Many fell to the ground in the darkness and never got back up, some drew their scimitars, but they could not hold the weapons they once regarded as life. Let it slip from its stiff hands.

They took off their bows and arrows, but few of them could pull the bowstrings, and their bowstrings were as cold and stiff as their bodies.

The first night attack of the Sui army on this large Turkic army had a fatal effect.

The enemy has not yet arrived, and the Turks are already in disarray.

The Turks finally discovered another desperate fact, they could only hear the rumbling hooves of horses approaching, but they could not see any trace of their enemies, nor of their companions.

Night Fight. The nightmare of the warriors of the steppe tribes rarely happens on the steppe, and it is rarely a tactic that is applied.

Horror, plus despair. The last vestiges of the Turks' will to fight collapsed at this moment, and before the enemy arrived, chaos similar to the roar of the camp occurred.

Driven by despair and fear. Some of the warriors roared wildly, and some of them didn't know the direction at all. and began to swing the scimitar wildly.

A raid that is not a raid, but it has received a surprising effect.

Five hundred cavalry of the Sui Army. They rushed headlong into the temporary camp of the Turks, and many of them crashed headlong into the horses that the Turks had arranged in advance on the periphery, and at that moment there was a loud bang.

Countless Sui soldiers flew into the air, planted headlong in the snow in front of them, were broken bones and tendons, or the war horses that came later, stepped under their feet, and the screams of the Sui soldiers resounded.

Their only role was to knock away the only barrier of the Turks.

And this did not stop the warriors behind them from rushing into the camp of the Turks, almost stepping on the corpses and flesh of their comrades.

No matter what's ahead, forward, forward, keep going, no matter what's ahead, swing the knife, swing the knife, swing the knife violently.

This is a cruel night battle, whether it is the Sui army soldiers or the Turkic warriors, in such a dark night, do not distinguish between the enemy and me, as long as the enemy is close, as long as the knife is wielded, there is a harvest.

The exhausted Turkic warriors, before dawn, used up the last bit of energy.

The sky was slightly bright, and a black line had quietly appeared on the horizon.

There was no brave charge, no shouting warriors, no bows and arrows in the sky, and the light of the sword flickered, the Sui army just moved forward slowly, quietly pressing up.

This difficult and brutal battle finally ended, and the two armies fought for hundreds of miles in the ice and snow, and at this point, the Turks could not fly.

In less than half an hour of melee, this battlefield was full of Turkic corpses, and it seemed that after only one night, this place had become a tomb, where the graves of these eight or nine thousand Turkic warriors were buried.

Some of the Turks turned their horses around and made their way to the north with difficulty, unwilling to become prisoners of the enemy, but they were powerless to resist, and even to flee, which became a luxury.

The Turkic camp was quiet, as if there was no one here.

Finally, a Turk sat down in the cold snow, threw down his scimitar, and began to cry.

So, like a chain reaction, the Turks trembled and threw down their weapons, watching the enemy calmly and slowly approach.

The Turkic people, who dominate Mobei, were dragged down by the Sui army, which is undoubtedly a miracle.

The cheers of the Sui army finally sounded in the cold wind of the northern land, and after that, everyone knocked on the breastplate and raised the war knife high, and the feeling of pride spread in the hearts of the soldiers.

They have reason to be proud that they have given countless blood and lives, countless efforts and patience to finally here, in this place, a miraculous victory.

In this battle, 500 rushed into the Sui army, only 127 people survived, the battalion captain **** died on the spot, and the Turks, in this more than half an hour of melee, reduced more than 2,000 people, and were captured by the Sui army more than 5,000 people.

The Sui army won a great victory.

But that's not the end of it......

……………………………………

The Turks were fortunate that the commander of the Sui army, that is, Li Po, had no intention of creating a massacre here.

The military order was soon handed down, the weapons of the Turks were collected, the Turks were driven together, and then the trees were felled, bonfires were lit, and pots were buried.

Until noon on this day, the Sui army, which had eaten a full meal, finally set off for the north again.

This time, there is no need for so many people, Li Po does not believe that at this time, he can still meet the army of Turks.

Even though the tail was thick and difficult for the Turks to give up, in such weather, if the Turks searched south again, he didn't mind delaying it a little longer, so that the Turks could taste the difference between the wind chill in November and October in the northland.

Therefore, he left behind more than 3,000 Sui soldiers who had been converted from infantry to cavalry, drove the captured Turks, and returned to Yunnei.

Well, there will be a shortage of food, but the war horses everywhere are the best source of food for the army.

More than 3,000 Heng'an Town cavalry, a team of cavalry, gathered together, once again faced the north wind, and headed north.

This time they were faster than ever, and as long as the horses were still holding up, they would keep galloping forward.

When the large flock of sheep appeared in front of them, it was two days later, and by this time, the Great Wall was already in sight.

The Turks would have had the opportunity to cross the Great Wall and enter the steppe in the clouds.

But...... Maybe they wanted to wait for the army behind them to catch up, or maybe they were afraid that if they walked back like this, they would be robbed by the same people in front, so they marched very slowly.

It also took a lot of time for the Sui army to track them down, and when they came here, they finally let the Sui army catch up.

In another battle, more than 3,000 tired Sui troops, wielding steel swords, defeated more than 1,000 Turks who were also tired and had no will to fight, and finally won the prize they deserved.

This was not enough, Li Po only left 300 people, drove the cattle and sheep back to Yunnei, mustered up Yu Yong, and marched north again.

They crossed the Great Wall and burst into the cloudy grassland.

Under the defenselessness of the Turks, they defeated them one after another, captured a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and then retreated to the south of the Great Wall with satisfaction.

Because of the delay in the news, by the time the main force of the Turkic army, which had already entered Dingxiang County, got the news, the Sui army had already left.

At this time, the time has entered the end of October of the eleventh year of the Great Cause.

It snowed two more times, and whether it was the Sui army or the Turks, in such weather, if they marched and fought again, they would be looking for death.

Shibi Khan was very angry, but he didn't know who to find to be angry, and at the same time felt inexplicable, the Sui army actually chased out of the Great Wall? You lied to me like that, is it really good?

And the loss of this southern expedition also made the Turks feel painful.

It was not until the summer of the following year that the Turks struggled to count the casualties.

At that time, Shibi Khan almost vomited blood, and more than 20,000 Tiele cavalry led by the servant Gujith were defeated under the city of Yunnei, and the servant Gujith died in battle, which is not counted, and the sequelae are also very serious.

The nomadic Tiele tribes on both sides of the Tula River were very dissatisfied, and began to fall in love with their fellow Western Turks.

The Turkic tribes of Mobei moved south, and some enemies in the north began to move.

And the casualties reported by various tribes are also surprisingly large.

Even if the casualties under Yanmen City were counted, there were still twenty or thirty thousand Turkic warriors missing, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

If possible, some tribes will definitely post missing person notices all over Mayi, where did these people go, and did they live in the Sui people's place?

The additional casualties of nearly 50,000 people made Shibi Khan stunned.

It's a big loss, this is ...... (To be continued.) )
