Chapter 554: The Vanguard
The Turkic chieftains, after hearing that there were reinforcements, were already preparing to retreat, and the heroes did not suffer immediate losses, they may not understand such words, but the meaning is clear.
When 100,000 soldiers and horses arrived, the Turkic preparations had just been made, and it was the time to retreat, and several commanders in the rear had already made preparations for death in the rear, so they were all sworn to defend when the Sui State launched an attack.
Yuwen Chengdu took the lead in wielding the weapon in his hand, and he really had the ability to be in the army, and the enemies he killed everywhere he went were to throw away his armor.
Brave and abnormal, Yuwen Chengdu's performance was seen by the Li brothers and the generals present, and it was impossible to describe it as a normal person.
"He is worthy of being the Great General of Tianbao, and he is really brave and invincible." Zhang Jin sighed.
In fact, no matter what his personality and character are for this kind of fierce general, he is very popular in terms of fighting, and Zhang Jin almost turned into a little fan brother.
"Come on, I think it's a little worse than the Metropolitan Governor." Xue Zhidao.
The voice was not loud, but it happened to be heard by Yuwen Chengdu, and not only that, but the Li brothers also happened to hear it next to him.
"Big brother, is their brother-in-law so powerful, more powerful than Yuwen Chengdu?" Li Yuanji asked in surprise.
His character is that kind of brave person, he admires heroes very much, even if he doesn't want to see Yuwen Chengdu, but he still admires the other party's force value.
Hearing that Li De's combat power seemed to be comparable to Yuwen Chengdu, he couldn't help but be curious, and his brother-in-law's words were abrupt.
Li Jiancheng nodded slightly, and said: "I have also heard a little about my brother-in-law, when Queen Dugu was alive, when Queen Dugu was alive, my brother-in-law worked hard with Yuwen Chengdu, at that time, Yuwen Chengdu did not help his brother-in-law at all, but a small mistake was finally called a tie, I am afraid that the brother-in-law at that time did not use his power in order to take care of his face." ”
As soon as Li Yuanji heard that there was such a thing, he couldn't help but worship Li De from the bottom of his heart, and the smell changed in Yuwen Chengdu's ears when he heard this.
I don't know if it was to vent the anger in my heart, or to prove that he was better than others, he used all his strength again to directly turn the Turkic soldiers besieging him on his back.
Zhang Jin and Xue Kai were not surprised by such a means, they were very self-aware that if they replaced Yuwen Chengdu with their opponents, they would probably lose if they couldn't eat thirty rounds, and even thirty rounds would have to be combined by the two of them.
It's just that some people don't believe in evil, such as Xue Kai.
Although Yuwen Chengdu performed very well, in Xue Kai's heart, he still thought that their Metropolitan Governor Li De was very powerful.
"It's still the Metropolitan Governor who is more powerful." Xue Zhidao.
"You must have a basis for saying that, right?" Zhang Jin said curiously.
"Of course, when have you ever seen the Grand Governor get angry in battle, it's very powerful if you don't get angry, and if you are angry, wouldn't it be even worse." Xue Zhidao.
Zhang Jin seemed to suddenly realize and said, "What you said is really reasonable. ”
The two of them spoke loudly, after all, they were in the middle of the battle, and they were able to gossip because they were the main guards who would protect them, and it would not affect their battle.
Yuwen Chengdu was so angry in his heart, anyone with a discerning eye could see whether he was powerful or not, why did these four people chatter on the side to annoy him.
The consequence of angering him is that the Turks are really suffering, Yuwen Cheng is a fierce general, Tianbao is an invincible general, and his target is always the enemy's main general.
It's really a big killing.
The Turks who stayed behind were only 20,000 soldiers and horses, and how could they withstand the attack of 150,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses behind the front would soon be solved.
In order to be out of sight and out of mind, Yuwen Chengdu directly led people to pursue the enemy's main force of soldiers and horses, and finally Emperor Yang asked him to lead his troops to fight, no matter how much he had to earn enough for his exploits.
Soon, with Xiao Yong's soldiers, he launched a fierce pursuit again.
The Li family brothers saw that Yuwen Chengdu was fighting so hard, and in order to prove that they also rushed over, they spared no effort.
On the other hand, Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi followed behind the back hall, marching slowly, and when the generals who were chasing the main Turkic force reacted and did not find the vanguard, the Li brothers reacted first.
"Third brother, can the soldiers and horses of the vanguard keep up?" Li Jiancheng asked.
"I haven't seen it." Li Yuanji likes to fight, his eyes are red, where do he care about these trivial things, and besides, what does it have to do with them if the vanguard does not follow, it will not affect their battle at all.
Now the main Turkic forces are fleeing, and it is time to take advantage of the opportunity to expand the gains of the war.
Li Jiancheng had a lot of eyes, and he reacted that something was not right, and immediately stopped the pursuit, because after chasing for so long, there was not much success at all.
When it comes to escaping, the Turkic cavalry is not given for nothing, and they run fast one by one.
"Yuanji don't pursue, let's go back the same way." Li Jiancheng said.
"Big brother, go back the way you came, now is the critical moment of pursuit, how can you give up." Li Yuanji didn't understand it, but he still cared about Li Jiancheng's words.
"Third brother, have you ever wondered why you haven't seen the vanguard for a long time?" Li Jiancheng asked.
Li Yuanji looked stunned, he was really not good at things that moved his head, but it didn't mean that he couldn't think.
"What's strange about not chasing, can't say that they are collecting the loot, and they will definitely catch up later." Li Yuanji said disappreliably.
Li Jiancheng suddenly became eye-catching, and said in his heart that he hadn't thought of this matter earlier, it was all lard that blinded his heart, and he didn't take advantage of it if he had a ready-made advantage, and he didn't get any benefit after chasing for so long.
"Yuanji, you're right, go back." Li Jiancheng said immediately.
Li Yuanji was still stunned, but he had always listened to Li Jiancheng's words and returned with his soldiers and horses.
Without a battle, they accelerated their speed, and the horses were tired at this time, and when they hurried back to the Turkic barracks, they looked at the location of the barracks, and there was not even wood left.
"Big brother, this is the Turkic barracks just now?" Li Yuanji said curiously.
In addition to the bloodstains on the corpses, even the armor and weapons on their bodies were all gone, and the entire barracks were empty, and there was no place for barracks.
"It's a step late, it's really a step ahead." Li Jiancheng said.
Li Jiancheng thinks back to the past few days, all the plans and deployments are open-faced, and the only thing he ignores is people's desires and greed, if there is no greed, he should now share the spoils with the pioneers.
"Alas!" There was nothing left, Li Jiancheng could only sigh.
"Big brother, what now?" Li Yuanji asked.
"What else can I do, we haven't understood anything about going back to Taiyuan Mansion yet." Li Jiancheng said in a deep voice.
What he said was naturally that Emperor Yang of Sui almost killed them if he didn't open the gate of Jiangling, and the reply he got when he sent a letter to his father Li Yuan was four words - act at the opportunity.
