"Drive!"

Ashina Simo, under the protection of his own soldiers, whipped the war horse desperately, and ran towards Yanmen Pass for his life.

The original intention was indeed to use his body as bait, but he never thought that he had really become a bait!

Led Xue Yantuo's army to Yanmen Pass, the goal has been achieved, he should actually retreat earlier, instead of fighting with the wolf cavalry under his command to the end, until the last moment to retreat under the escort of his own soldiers, in case he can't retreat in time, and is entangled by Xue Yantuo's cavalry, wouldn't he want to be killed?

You haven't had enough of the glory and wealth......

Just now, the two armies fought desperately, his blood was full of blood, and he listened to the cry of the wolf rider under his command who was dying, and his eyes were full of the enemy's hideous face, and the sword light and sword shadow were flying flesh and blood, which made him fall into a state of selflessness, and the blood of the Turkic people who had long been degraded suddenly resurrected, ignoring life and death!

But now that he had retreated and fled, endless fear filled his heart once more.

Be sure to escape to the Yanmen Gate!

As long as you enter the customs, it is considered completely safe! The people of Xue Yantuo must not dare to brazenly attack Yanmen Pass and start a frontal war with the Tang Dynasty.

The war horse under the crotch was so tired that he was sweating like pulp, snorting and snorting white gas, and ran wildly with all his strength.

Under the fear, Ashina Simo still looked back frequently on the horse, and saw that there were more than a dozen Xue Yantuo people who relied on their superb riding skills and excellent war horses, and actually broke away from the large army and slowly chased after them, so frightened that Ashina Simo hurriedly lay on the horse's back, lest the enemy shoot himself with arrows.

The road was full of fighting and galloping, and the horse's physical strength was about to be exhausted, and no matter how much the Turks spurred it, they could not speed up again.

Seeing that the dozen or so Xue Yantuo soldiers were chasing closer and closer, several pro-soldiers glanced at each other, and said loudly on the horse: "Great Khan cherishes!" We stop our pursuers! ”

After saying that, they reined in their horses, turned their horses, and launched a counter-charge towards the enemy, trying to stop the dozen or so horsemen who were chasing closer and closer.

This is a way to commit suicide, even if it can stop the dozen or so horsemen, but Xue Yantuo's tens of thousands of cavalry have already pursued and killed behind, and the ice and snow foam raised by the horse's hooves almost turned into a mist, and the earth-shattering attack came, as long as a breath was immediate, these Turkic soldiers would be crushed by the horse's hooves.

Ashina Simo lay on the horse's back, his lip bit blood, and tears rolled down his eyes, but he didn't have the courage to refuse......

He just blindly clamped the horse's belly hard, constantly urging the war horse to speed up, as long as he arrived at the Yanmen Pass, he and the soldiers around him could be saved.

However, a sudden thought made him feel a panic -

What if the Tang army did not allow the Turks to withdraw to Yanmen Pass?

Zhao Deyan said that he had a way, but what if he couldn't convince the guards of Yanmen Pass?

……

In this mood of being tormented by fear and panic, the towering gatehouse of Yanmen Pass finally appeared in front of him. The tall and simple gatehouse, between the winding Great Wall on both sides and the lofty mountains, the spirit of the world's majestic passes can be seen at a glance.

And at this moment, under the closed door, countless Turkic old and weak women and children drove their livestock to gather there.

The door was heavily closed, but it was still tightly closed.

The most terrifying situation for Ashnasimo appeared......

The Tang army refused to withdraw the Turks to Yanmen Pass!

Ashina Simo only felt as if a big stone had fallen from the sky on his chest, his eyes were dark, his throat was fishy, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his body shook on the horse's back, but he fell from the war horse violently.

Fell the snow.

"Great Khan!"

"Great Khan!"

The pro-soldiers around him were shocked, and hurriedly reined in the horses, and the two pro-soldiers threw off the stirrups and jumped off the horses, and fell to the ground to help Ashina Sima up.

Ashina Simo's face was like a gossamer, his eyes were tightly closed, and he was already unconscious.

The two pro-soldiers were at a loss......

What to do?

The rest of the soldiers sat on the horses and sweated profusely, and Ao Shushi, who had already changed into an ordinary soldier's attire, had no idea at the moment, looked at the Xue Yantuo cavalry behind him, and then looked at the unconscious Ashina Simo on the ground, gritted his teeth, and scolded angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Quickly put the Khan on horseback, take him to Yanmen Pass, and the rest of the people will follow me to block the Xue Yantuo people! ”

After that, he gritted his teeth and knocked the horse's belly, and the war horse under his crotch neighed, raised his four hooves, and rushed towards the Xue Yantuo people who were covering behind him.

This Turkic prince, who was disliked by his mother, Princess Yicheng, and did not pass on the throne of Khan to him after his father's death, but passed it to his uncle.

However, at this moment of life and death, he finally showed his pride and courage as a Turkic nobleman.

He knew that if Ashnasimo died, those surviving Turks would definitely not be tolerated and accepted by the Tang Dynasty, and compared with Ashnasimo, he, the son of Chuluo Khan and the nephew of Jieli Khan, did not have much weight than an ordinary Turk.

Therefore, the back of his charge is sluggish and heroic, but the momentum is firm and unyielding!

Today's death is to preserve the future for the Turks!

One day, the descendants of the Ashina clan will once again reign on this land where their ancestors thrived and become the king of the grassland desert!

Seeing the resolute and tragic figure of Ao Shushe, the rest of the Turkic soldiers glanced at each other, and then without saying a word, they turned their horses' heads one after another, and rushed towards Xue Yantuo without hesitation.

Even if it is death, it is necessary to fight for a glimmer of life for Ashina Simo.

That's a continuation of the Turks!

*****

On the upper floor of Yanmen Pass, Xiao Siye looked at the snow under the pass, the vast mountains and rivers in the distance, and tens of thousands of people gathered under the pass, people shouted horses neighing, dogs barking and cows barking, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

He was the emperor's edict of the governor of the Shan Yu Protectorate.

In March of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, led his army to attack Yinshan, captured the Turkic Jieli Khan, and destroyed the Eastern Turks. His Majesty Li Er set up the governors of Shun, You, Hua and Chang in the hometown of Tuli Khan, and the hometown of Jieli Khan set up the Xiangdu Governor's Mansion and the Yunzhong Governor's Mansion.

The location of the Imperial Protectorate alone is Dingxiang Castle.

And when he was despised and abandoned in the family, he returned to the north with resentment, and decided to make a good contribution to let the old guys in the family take a good look......

In Chang'an City, the Zaifu above those temples and His Majesty the Emperor in the Taiji Palace were still thinking about how to politely refuse Xue Yantuo's request for peace with his relatives, so as to stabilize the overall situation and stabilize the northern frontier, so that the empire could launch an eastward expedition and conquer Goguryeo.

But I didn't know that between the vast mountains north of the Great Wall, it had already become a pot of porridge......

Xue Yantuo crossed the Evil Sun Ridge and attacked the Turks?

Yu Wenfa, the defender of Mayi City, actually blocked the right guard from leaving the pass, and did not give the right guard food supplies, so that he could not go out of the city to rescue the Turks?

The most outrageous thing is that it is understandable that the Turks abandoned the city and went south, but instead of going to Mayi, they went straight to Yanmen Pass.

I don't understand, I don't understand......

It stands to reason that the Duhufu alone is Xiao Siye's territory, and with this Duhufu, he has a long history and can realize the ambitions and ambitions in his heart.

Then these Turks who are locked up at this moment are his "people", and they must be preserved as much as possible, so that he can make a difference.

Otherwise, the Turks are all dead, where is there still a need to exist in the capital protectorate?

His long history is even more of a bare-bones general......

However, Xiao Siye did not think so.

This time, when he returned to Chang'an after many years of absence, he saw the prosperity of Guanzhong and Chang'an, and the kind of life of Zhong Mingding's indulgence and luxury had already made him deeply fascinated. It's really a last resort to go back to Dingxiang, even if you are willing to give up your face, you have to find an excuse after all, right?

Afraid of hardship and tiredness, so don't want to return to Dingxiang?

He can't say it, and he can't do it.

If you don't want to stay in Dingxiang and have plenty of excuses......

A cold light flickered in Xiao Siye's eyes.

The guard of Yanmen Pass was standing behind Xiao Siye, seeing that the cavalry of Xue Yantuo in the distance had already rushed like a dark cloud, and the Turks under the pass were still crying in confusion, and immediately ordered: "Open the gate, five hundred cavalry will go out of the city to maintain order, and then let the Turks enter the pass. ”

The Eastern Turkic Khanate was supported by the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks were now loyal allies of the Tang Dynasty, and they could not sit idly by and watch them being slaughtered by Xue Yantuo and ignore them.

"No!"

The adjutant replied, and then turned around to deliver the order.

"No way!"

Xiao Siye suddenly exited, stopped the lieutenant general, and then looked at the guard and said, "You can't open the door!" ”
