After running back for more than ten miles, the rout stopped his footsteps and stopped panting with palpitations. Everyone's faces were blackened, and in the dark night everyone could only see each other's still blinking eyes.

"General, it's good that I can run fast, otherwise we will all die! Woo woo woo ---" The embarrassed Dalit cried sadly when he saw such a miserable situation of this tiger master, regardless of his identity.

"Strategist, don't be crying, what should I do now?" Tiger Division General Takhan asked weakly, the loss in front of him was too huge, the 20,000 Turkic elite cavalry that were full of people when he set off, and now there are about 4 or 5 hundred horsemen who are not clear in front of him, and many of them are still wounded. This is a fact that he can't accept as a general, and he can't face the Sha Bo Luo Khan who is about to arrive here.

"General, the matter has come to this, let's talk about it until dawn!" Dalit also stopped crying and said helplessly.

The sky was bright, and what was presented in front of the soldiers of Wu Yunzhao's White Horse Battalion was an astonishing and tragic scene, and many veterans who had experienced a hundred battles couldn't help but vomit. Completely different from the death of opponents that we are used to seeing in the past, swords and bows can kill and injure people, but they cannot split their bodies. The sky-shattering grenade exploded, leaving behind an incomplete corpse, like a region-like scene. None of the soldiers left because of the success of the breakout, because there were no more opponents to fight in front of them, and there was only a bloody smell that made people vomit.

"General, I don't want this sky-shattering grenade to be so powerful, and it blew up nearly 20,000 Turkic Tartars in an instant. Now all the captives are seriously injured and will not survive. Laihu'er was completely shocked by the lethality of the grenade, and although he won the battle, the words that came out of his mouth were still trembling.

"What a Ma uncle! There are still people who are not convinced to get their high positions. No wonder the lord values him so much, and he has created such a weapon to kill the enemy, and we are not as good as him on the battlefield. Wu Yunzhao said silently, it was the first time he had seen such a bloody battlefield.

"Are there any injuries in our army?"

"General, there is not a single hair missing from our army, but a few war horses have been shocked."

"If General Ben's guess is correct, this battle is enough to make the Turks afraid to follow me. The herald ordered firewood to burn the dead Turks. ”

Compared with the blocking battle of Wu Yunzhao's troops, the defensive battle on Luo Cheng's side was in a predicament. Yesterday faced the Turkic Eagle Division, the two sides fell into a melee for a while, fortunately, Luo Cheng showed the heroic nature of the enemy in the 10,000-horse army, and killed 4 Turkic generals in a row with guns and swords in the melee between the two armies, and in addition to the excellent terrain to keep Dazhai barely lost, but the corporal was injured and lost more than 4,000 people, and the deputy generals Nan Yanping and Wei Chi Nan were not lightly injured.

But Jieli's side also suffered a lot of damage, especially the general's loss, which made Prince Jieli and Yin Kaishan chill.

"Luo Cheng, who is so powerful, actually beheaded my 4 generals Aga, Subash, Ordaba, and Jakebei in a row under the predicament, what should this person do if he is so brave?" Jieli asked the Tang general Yin Kaishan in the tent with a little weakness.

"Jieli little prince, you fold four people, and I lose two generals, which shows that this Luo Cheng is not something you and I can fight! It is better to besiege than to attack. Half of the men and horses were divided to surround Luo Cheng, and the other half of the men and horses blocked Wu Yun's army that was about to retreat here. As long as they block their way out, they can wait for the arrival of the Great Khan's heavenly soldiers to flank them before and after. Yin Kaishan said with a wry smile.

"Alas! It's a pity that the king boasted about Haikou in front of his father Khan, but he didn't want to be in such an unbearable situation. Fortunately, he also killed thousands of his men and horses in this battle, and he will definitely not be able to fight again! Just do what the general wants! In the face of the invincible generals and the advantages of land, Jieli was helpless, so he had to act according to Yin Kaishan's strategy.

Luo Chengyan is in the military tent.

Among the generals, only Zhang Gongjin, who was guarding Dazhai without losing it, was not injured, and the other generals, including Luo Ben, were also hit by an arrow in the arm, but the arrow did not penetrate the flesh and did not hurt the bones, which was only a minor injury. Wei Chibei and Beiyandao were also slightly injured.

"Huh! It is cost-effective to exchange a small injury for his four generals, a good deal! Luo Cheng looked at the heads of the four Turkic generals placed on the ground, regardless of his own injuries and the damage of his headquarters, and smiled heartlessly, without Zhang Gongjin's calmness and worry at this time.

"Shaobao, although he has beheaded several levels, our army has lost nearly half, what if the Turks attack again? Our archers are running out of arrows. Zhang Gongjin whispered to Luo Cheng worriedly.

"General Zhang doesn't need to panic, if he dares to come again, he will go and behead him a few more times and come back. Hehe! Luo Cheng still said disapprehantly.

"The two brothers of Wei Chibei and Beiyandao, from now on, will hold the camp and will not attack, only wait for Wu Yunzhao to break the enemy inside and outside." Zhang Gongjin no longer pays attention to this little Luo Cheng, he is the main general of this man and has the right to directly command several deputy generals, without paying attention to Luo Cheng Shaobao.

"Yes, General. My two brothers immediately went to arrange the defense. After the two generals agreed, they walked out of the big tent.

For two days in a row, the two armies facing each other were at peace, and it seemed that they were waiting for the arrival of their respective reinforcements.

"General, it's only been more than 10 miles to the foot of Yin Mountain, but there is a Turkic army there that is confronting General Luo Cheng's department. General Luo Cheng was surrounded in the junction village, and the Turks were about less than 30,000. Zuo Tiancheng rushed to Wu Yunzhao from the front of Pegasus to report.

"General, you can order the brigade to rest for a while, take care of the supplies in the army, the general still leads 5,000 men and horses to go, and you can still use the sky-bombarding grenade tactics to bombard the enemy." After Ling Jing saw the power of the Sky Bombardment Grenade, he no longer had any scruples about his own safety, as long as he sacrificed this big killing weapon, basically no one could stop it, so he suggested using it again.

"Well, anyway, there are still a lot of grenades in the army, so you might as well use them again. It is enough for General Laihu'er to lead 2,000 men and horses for the front army, and each person can use a maximum of 3 bombardment grenades, so be sure to annihilate all the enemies. Wu Yunzhao also felt that this thunderous grenade was easy to use and easy to use, so he asked Laihu'er, who had already been skillfully used, to lead his subordinates to attack.

"Huh! Okay! But then there was no loot, and after the bombardment, it was all lumpy. Laihu'er said with a laugh.

The generals all laughed when they heard this, and all of them took the nearly 30,000 enemy troops in their eyes.

In the account of the Turkic prince Jieli, Jieli and Yin Kaishan were listening to the message sent by Shabalu Khan on a fast horse, but the Great Khan's words were so shocking and unreasonable.

"The prince is glorious, the Great Khan did order the prince to quickly get out of the way and let Wu Yun summon Bai Ma Yi to pass through the whole army, and he must not be hindered." In this report, Prince Jieli, a junior colonel in the army, recognized that he was the person who was a close confidant in his father's Khan's tent, and the words in his mouth were definitely what his father Khan meant, but this made Jieli and Yin Kaishan unbelievable.

"Lord Wang, quickly withdraw! It is said that the Sui army has a terrifying firearm in its hands, which is as loud as a thunderbolt in a sunny day, and its power is huge, which can cause a large number of casualties to our army in an instant, and almost the entire tiger division is lost. The Great Khan was worried that he would use the Eagle Division against the prince again, so he asked the prince to quickly withdraw his troops to avoid the battle. Seeing that Prince Jieli didn't believe it, he hurriedly added.

"Little prince, this firearm must be a fire thunder, which is usually buried in the ground to attract the enemy army in, and then detonated with a rocket, this thing is indeed very powerful. With the intention of the next step, let's withdraw the troops! Yin Kaishan roughly knew from the description from the mouth of the junior colonel that this terrifying firearm should be the fire and thunder commonly used in the Central Plains army to plot people, which is generally buried in the ground, attracting the enemy to the burial place and detonating it by launching rockets. This method was not uncommon in front of the Central Plains Formation.

"That's it, you go down to rest, this king should retreat according to the order, alas!" After thinking about it for a while, Jie Li also had to act according to the orders of his father Khan.

"General Yin, I'll let go of the road and retreat ten miles to the southwest!"

Laihu'er, who was leading 2000 white horses and running all the way, had to stop urgently. Because the news from the front of the horse shocked him.

"What do you say? The Turkic army retreated, where did it retreat? Why do I want to return? Lai Hu'er hurriedly asked the Colonel Tanma who came to report the news.

"General, the Turkic Tatars have indeed withdrawn and gone south, and General Luo Cheng of the Yan army in front has opened the gate of the wall, waiting for our army to go and converge."

"Okay, you go to the back to inform General Wu Yunzhao, and I'll go to Yanjun Dazhai first. Alas! Lai Hu'er couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, he originally wanted to make a contribution, but now it was all yellow, and he didn't even catch a single hair of the tartar.

"Shaobao, the Turkic Tartars besieging the village have withdrawn, it is estimated that General Wu Yunzhao's 20,000 horses are behind him, he knows that he can't be the enemy and retreats, I can open the gate of the village to meet General Wu Yunzhao's army." Zhang Gongjin went to Luo Cheng's small account and said to Luo Cheng.

"Open the gate of the village, you and I will dress up to greet each other."

After a short time, Luo Cheng and the others saw that Laihu'er led 2,000 pioneers to the front of the village.

"Dare to ask where General Wu Yunzhao is?" Luo Cheng asked.

"Huh! A certain is Wu Yunzhao General Vanguard will protect his son in the future, and the general will follow. Laihu'er was also very happy to see the army that met him, and replied loudly.

"Huh! Please come to the general to rest in the village. Zhang Gongjin hurriedly answered, and at the same time, signaled Wei Chibei to lead Hu'er and his party into the village to rest.

Half an hour later, Wu Yun finally waited for Wu Yunzhao Bai Ma Yi to come from the brigade and a large number of carriages, cattle and sheep and other things, and after putting all these things into Luocheng Dazhai, the entire Dazhai was piled up. After the two armies met, they had a very pleasant conversation.

Through conversation, Luo Cheng admired and envied Wu Yunzhao's feat of attacking the Turkic tent the day before yesterday, and looked at the mature and steady Wu Yunzhao like an idol. Wu Yunzhao was also very impressed by Luo Cheng's single-handedly killing the enemy's 6 generals, even if he couldn't do this record, the young man in front of him actually did it, which made Wu Yunzhao sincerely admire.

After resting in the village for the night, early the next morning, the two armies set out of camp and returned together into the Yinshan Trail, and came to the open valley in front of the Ural Pass, and brought with them all kinds of captured materials that had been hoarded here and the women and children of the Turkic tribes that had been taken captive, and the army slowly moved southward.

The news was soon reported by the spies of the Military Intelligence Department to Yang Er, who lived in the Beiping Palace. Yang Er was overjoyed after the report, and hurriedly came to the palace to see Luo Yi, the king of Beiping, and also told the news of the victory, and even informed his son Luo Cheng of the news.

Luo Yi was also overjoyed, and after the news reached the ears of the Qin family in the inner mansion, the Qin family asked the whole mansion to hold a banquet to celebrate. Luo Yi also happily invited Yang Er to congratulate him. Yang Er was not hypocritical, he laughed and agreed, the two sides were not outsiders to each other, and they were a family soon after, and they were not informal.

It's night. The royal feast was celebrated until midnight.

During the banquet, only a poem improvised by Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was left drunk, which spread, causing a sensation in the entire Zhuo County and even the entire Great Sui.

The poem says: "In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned; But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain. ”

Wenhe Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an, Beijing.

Emperor Wen has just returned to the study room of the palace and the palace, ready to start today's day's work. As I get older, it now takes me nearly two hours to read a piece that would normally be approved in an hour. This was again under the condition that some inconsequential pieces were distributed to the crown prince Yang Yong for approval. Today's Emperor Wen is also over 50 years old, and his physical function is far less than before.

"Ahem!" With a cough, Emperor Wen finally finished today's homework, stood up gently, straightened his chest, hammered his tired back with his hand, and was about to go out. At this time, Yuan Yan, the eunuch of the Yellow Gate, who was accompanying him, ran from outside the door.

"What's the matter? So flustered. Emperor Wen shouted.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister and the princess are waiting for your majesty in the outer hall."

"It's a good time for these two old fellows to come! Go out with me. Emperor Wen smiled bitterly, it was supposed to be the time for Emperor Wen to visit Queen Dugu, but now he had to give up.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is overjoyed!" Zuo Prime Minister Gao Xi saw Emperor Wen appear, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Taifu Yuwen Shu on the side also smiled with a smile on his face.

"Alright, let's talk about what good news you two have brought to me." Emperor Wen smiled and beckoned the two old ministers to sit down and talk, and he himself sat between the two.

"Your Majesty, the siege of Wuyuan City has been lifted, and the Turkic army has returned to the desert a few days ago."

"Is Gao Aiqing's words serious? Hehe! All right! General Changsun Sheng deserves to be a famous general of my Great Sui. Emperor Wen laughed happily when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, although the Turkic soldiers have retreated, it is rumored that the siege of Wuyuan City by the Turkic soldiers was carried out with the cooperation of Li Yuan of Jinyang, and it is even said that the grain and grass of the 100,000 troops of the Turks going south were all supplied by Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, and Li Yuan also obtained Dingxiang County. It was also rumored that a large area of the Hetao area north of Shuofang City was deliberately ceded to Li Yuan by the Turks, and the two armies did not fight. Gao Xi said.

"Oh? All of this? This ---" Emperor Wen couldn't sit still anymore after hearing Gao Xi's words, and couldn't help but get up and think.

"Your Majesty, these are rumors in the market, and they still need to be verified to be true, the minister has already sent someone to investigate, if there is any news, inform Your Majesty." Gao Xi said again.

"Humph! In my opinion, this news is true. This Li Yuan! Fortunately, this Turkic invasion did not cause much loss to our dynasty. Gao Aiqing could only send someone to investigate secretly. Emperor Wen whispered to Gao Xi.

Then he walked up to Taifu Yuwenshu and asked, "Old lady, Li Yuan has privately occupied the land of the Hetao, and it is inconvenient for me to give him a direct lecture now. The day before yesterday, I said that your proud protégé found a way to expel Li Yuan from the Hetao for me, how did it go? ”
