Chapter 190: Tragedy

This battle is the first battle of Hengan Town, and there is no room for loss.

Both Li Bi and Li Po understand this, the origin of the Heng'an Zhenjun is very mixed, once the first battle is lost, and it is difficult to say what the consequences will be.

Today's northland men are actually not much different from the steppe people in the north, they believe in the strong, despise the weak, and are even more unwilling to stand on the losing side.

In other words, their loyalty cannot resist being too harshly tested, and unless you lead them to victory after victory, they will shed their blood for you without regrets.

Yes, take a break from national righteousness as soon as possible, a large part of them don't even know whether their ancestors are Hu and Han Chinese, and it's pure nonsense for you to talk to them about national righteousness.

This is a relatively special period of time, the Sui people have indeed developed their own sense of belonging, but the time is still too short, the sense of belonging is not strong, from the northern heroes have been subordinated to the Turks, it can be clearly seen.

Therefore, only victory, only sufficient grain and grass, and only showing momentum are good ways to unite the hearts of the army.

In other words, in this era, it is impossible to build an army with a sense of nationality as the soul, whether it is the Great Sui or the Turks.

Li Po and Li Bi don't think so much and think so far.

They just know that this battle has to be fought.

In the past year or so, they have made a lot of efforts to make the Hengan Town Army gradually take shape, and gradually gain the recognition and trust of the generals and soldiers.

But this is not enough, they still lack the last condition, that is, to use the blood of the enemy, and countless corpses, to forge their glory, and only then can they completely control this growing army.

So. They had been preparing for this battle for a long time, and if the enemy came in a big way, they were ready to lead their troops into a hard battle.

If there aren't too many enemies, but there are definitely a lot of them, that's the worst-case scenario. The enemy may not attack the city violently, and they will probably be unable to do anything but confront the enemy.

If there are fewer people coming...... That would be ideal, it means that the enemy is underestimated.

…………………………

On the night of the fourth day when the Turks arrived outside the city of Yunnei, several arrows tied to letters entered the Turkic camp from the darkness.

Inside one of the largest felt tents, the lights flickered.

The young and strong Keith was struggling with a leg of mutton, his large, greasy hands clutching the bone stick as if they were grasping the neck of an enemy. The hard teeth kept making a crunching sound on the bone stick.

This is a Turk, but with elongated eyes and flat facial contours, it is different from the Turkic with high eyebrows and deep eyes.

Well, he is a Tiele people, just like the descendants of the Xianbei people after entering the Central Plains, they like to think of themselves as Han Chinese, and the Tiele people and the Turks can be said to be indistinguishable from each other now.

Gith is the younger brother of the Grand Leader of the Iron Servants. This time, he followed Shibi Khan to the south and led the army to the city of Yunnei.

He led more than 20,000 men. All of them are Tiele warriors.

Just as Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not trust the Guanxi Shilord too much, Shibi Khan was also full of vigilance against the Tiele tribes, especially the Tiele tribes such as the Servant Bone Ministry.

As a result, the name of courage spread all over the banks of the Tula River, and even the cool waters of the Tula River were spreading the name of his brave servant bone tribe. The servant Girth could only lead the Tiele warriors under his command to become an insignificant partial division.

The fortified city of the Sui people was very tall, and after seeing this city, Keith quickly realized it. Unless the warriors put on their wings, they would not be able to climb up.

This made him, who was already very angry, even more angry, otherwise, he would not have been gnawing on the leg of mutton in such a night, he imagined it as the meat of a cowardly Sui person.

At this time, he had already begun to imagine how to deal with those Sui people after attacking the Sui people's city, whether to drag the enemy to death behind the horse's tail as before, or directly cut off their heads? Or, can you boil some to death with boiling water?

But just as he was intoxicated by the imaginary sight of slaughter, his loyal guards crept in.

The guard, like him, was blown by the cold wind of the prairie and had a mysterious smile on his rough face.

"General, what they said is not wrong, the Sui people are not united, someone wants to open the city gate and welcome us in."

Keith was stunned, and then suddenly overjoyed, threw the sheep bones far away, and kept rubbing his hands on his chest, "Oh? My brother, you have brought me good news, and if I stay here any longer, I'm afraid my knife will rust. ”

The guard bared Bai Sensen's teeth and thumped his chest, "Under your light, the Sui people can only hide like rats, and tomorrow, the warriors will follow you and dig them out." ”

Keith laughed, then turned his head and asked, "What did they say?" ”

"They brought with arrows that the gates of the city would be opened for us early in the morning, when it was light......

Keith touched his hard stubble, when he was excited, he was like a lion, and when he calmed down, he was a qualified commander.

He circled the tent twice like a wild beast, "We all say that the words of the cowardly cannot be heard, much less the enemy...... Everything the white boys told us smelled fishy...... Let them all come here, I'll talk to them. ”

The so-called white boy is the contemptuous name of the Tiele people for the Turkic main department, and at this time, it can also be used on the Sui people.

They were strong because of the Turks, but they also declined because of the Turks, so although the Tiele tribes were the most important part of the Turkic tribes, their struggle against the rule of the Turks never stopped.

This night, for the Tiele people, is destined to be a sleepless night.

The next day, before dawn, the Tiele warriors, dressed in tattered leather robes and exuding a savage atmosphere from top to bottom, had already turned on their horses at the urging of the leaders, and quietly left the camp in groups.

They are all good warriors, but they are not very good at intrigue and trickery, and the straightforwardness of the grassland war is in line with their character, and when they come to the Sui land, they are naturally at a strategic and tactical disadvantage in the face of the cunning Sui people.

The Tiele generals discussed for a night, but they didn't actually discuss anything, but they just felt that it was a bit dangerous to enter the Sui people's city so easily.

So, they also made a simple response.

In the dark night before dawn, quietly, from time to time there was the voice of the Tiele warriors, indeed, the delicate stratagem, for these rough Tiele warriors, is really a bit high.

The sky gradually brightened, and just when the Tiele generals were a little impatient and curses were already heard below, the tall and heavy gate slowly opened in a tooth-aching creaking sound.

More than a dozen people pushed the city gate with great effort, and the noose was also rattling, and from the gradually opening city gate, a few people poked out their brains, and kept waving to the long-awaited Tiele people.

Keith stared at everything in front of him, feeling unreal, but he had to believe that the city gate was opened in front of the Tiele warriors.

He gradually became excited, but he still discussed with the generals before, waved his hand, and the soldiers in the front row, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately urged the war horses and rushed towards the city gate.

The dense sound of horses' hooves finally sounded, which also symbolized the beginning of the battle of attack and defense of Yunnei City.

There were screams at the head of the city, and the clashing of blades and screams suddenly rang out, followed by the low sound of trumpets whining in all directions.

It was definitely not the attack horn of the Tiele people, but the Sui people were warning them.

The Sui people who opened the city gate turned around and ran, as if to help their companions, and the figures on the city wall gradually increased, shouting in panic, running back and forth, so that Jith finally believed that this Sui city really opened its arms to himself.

But he still did not give the order, and the whole army moved forward.

A thousand Tiele warriors are enough to defend the open gates, so there is no need to be in a hurry.

A thousand warriors could indeed defend the gates, but the lesson was so profound that they forgot to discuss how narrow the gate, which looked quite wide, after a night of discussion.

Because the tribes on the steppe have never had such a thing as a city gate, the last time the Tiele warriors rushed into the city, well, it can almost be traced back to their ancestors, the Huns.

Of course, this is a joke, they have also participated in some wars to seize control of the Western Regions, but the Turks are divided, which means that the Tiele people are divided, and the warriors of the servants under the rule of the Turkic court have very few opportunities to see a city.

Moreover, they are sorely lacking in humility.

So, tragedy happened, and the high-speed galloping horses rushed to the wide open city gate, with a bang...... Some of them rushed in, and some of them were directly squeezed out of the city gate and hit the city wall directly.

Li Bi, who was standing on top of a building with a wide field of vision, watched in amazement, the crazy suicide of the Turks, and felt that what Li Po said was really right, and the Turks didn't seem to be very smart.

It's undoubtedly like a very serious occasion where someone suddenly farts, and it's very loud and smelly, full of embarrassing comedic effect.

Of course, on the battlefield, it would be like a disaster.

For the first time, the Tiele warriors made people turn their horses on their backs when they did not encounter the enemy, and the sound of broken bones of men and horses came and went, mixed with people's exclamations and screams, just like a series of car accidents later.

The enemy's self-harm behavior made the script obviously deviate, but fortunately, Li Bi was not a person who stuck to the rules, he waved his hand, and a group of cavalrymen with crooked armor ran up from the street to meet the Turks entering the city. (To be continued.) )
