"In another quarter of an hour, Pei Yuanqing will lead the ambush soldiers out according to the plan. Ben is going to destroy Tuyuhun's main force today, and he can't let that kid take away all the great achievements. Liu Fang said with a smile.

The herald next to him saluted respectfully, then took out the hourglass and began to time.

About a quarter of an hour later, smoke and dust suddenly rose from the horizon in the northwest valley, and soon the five thousand cavalry, who had been recuperating for half a day, swept in like a raging storm. The two armies were in the middle of a battle, and they struck a surprise attack all the way, which surprised everyone.

The big flag flutters, with the big character 'Pei' written on it, Pei Yuanqing is the first person of the young generation of the 100,000 army, with superb martial arts and riding and archery. Superb, who didn't know about the 100,000 Sui army, so the Sui army suddenly erupted in a sea of cheers.

Seeing this, King Bailan's face changed, and he wanted to allocate people to intercept it, only to find that before he knew it, there were a thousand guards left around him, and the other soldiers and horses had all gone into battle. He couldn't help but suspect that he had been led by the nose by the other party's general, and commanded all the men and horses into battle, obviously this was a trap.

There was no one to use, so they could only watch Pei Yuanqing's five thousand men and horses pierce through their side like a sharp knife, completely disrupting Tuyuhun's camp, not to mention, the blow to Tuyuhun's morale was fatal.

King Bailan's heart was dripping blood, and he blamed himself for being too careless, and his mind was blinded by the robbed property and beautiful women these days, and he also secretly hated the delay in the arrival of the people and horses of the Evil Tribes and the Fantong Tribe.

The flanks were raided, the formation was disrupted, and the Tuyuhun cavalry, who were desperately fighting in front, were quickly affected, and the image of defeat began to appear, and soon it became a situation of defeat.

If it was from the very beginning, Pei Yuanqing's 5,000 men and horses would directly join it, although it could give the Sui army the upper hand, but it was far from enough to make Tuyuhun rout, but the timing of Pei Yuanqing's appearance was too timely, and he plunged into Tuyuhun's flank, not to mention that he was the king of Bailan, even if he let the king of Bailan and Liu Fang swap, and let the Tuyuhun army and the Great Sui army exchange, the result was also a mountain of defeat.

At this time, King Bailan didn't care about blaming himself and others, but tried his best to save the defeat, or try to lead as many people as possible to escape. But chaos has appeared, and the King of Bailan has no power to return to the sky. Liu Fang saw that Pei Yuanqing appeared at the most critical moment in strict accordance with his plan, and he had already ordered the whole army to cover up the killing at the first time.

At present, it seems that this battle will defeat Tuyuhun and destroy its main force is a foregone conclusion.

In this thought, the cavalry of the Sui army, all regiments, and all provinces rushed forward in a swarm, no matter how elite the army was before Tuyuhun, in this case, it had become a rabble that left its back to the enemy, each only caring about fleeing for their lives.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, this is the case, at this time, even if there are only 1,000 chasing soldiers, it is difficult to recover the rout of Tuyuhun's army.

Under the leadership of Liu Fang, the Sui army chased the remnants of the Tuyuhun army for more than 40 miles, and this chase lasted for two hours, with more than 20,000 Tuyuhun cavalry killed and wounded, and the corpses were all over the field along the way, screaming all over the sky.

Until it was dark, the 10,000 cavalry of the Tugu Hun and Fantong tribes arrived, and the Sui army was also tired and tired at this time, Liu Fang was not greedy for merit, and decisively ordered to stop the pursuit, and watched the 10,000 cavalry of the Shabi and Fantong departments escort only the more than 6,000 remnants led by King Bailan left.

Liu Fang led the people to fight for half a day, and then chased for two hours, plus the night before, nearly 30,000 horses were too tired to do so. What's more, I have already received the news that the Turkic 80,000 cavalry is rushing south in the direction of Shuiquan Pass, and they dare not go any deeper, so they take people back to the previously selected place to camp and rest.

In this cavalry battle, the two sides were equal in soldiers and horses, and finally ended in a crushing defeat for Tuyuhun, who fled only more than 6,000 horses. Among them, more than 14,000 were beheaded by the Sui army, and more than 8,000 became prisoners of the Sui army.

On the second day of the end of the cavalry battle in Pinglan County, that is, on August 21, Wang Junlin led 5,000 cavalry, avoiding Tuyuhun and Turkic troops and scouts, and went around a remote path in the mountains and forests to the foot of Qilian Mountain, more than 200 miles northwest of Jincheng County.

On the same day, Yu Juluo led 50,000 infantry, after three days, galloped 300 miles, and finally arrived at the camp station chosen by Liu Fang, the general of Pinglan County, Jincheng County. Knowing that Liu Fanglanping County had won a great victory and disabled Tuyuhun's army in Jincheng County, Yu Juluo was overjoyed, and the pressure on his heart was also reduced a lot.

Liu Fang has rich combat experience, the camp he chose is about 80 miles away from Jincheng, 15 miles away is Shuiquan Pass, over Shuiquan Pass, and then go northwest for more than 60 miles is Jincheng, this area is relatively open compared to the canyon terrain of Longxi County, and tens of thousands of people can also spread out in the field.

"Rest for the night tonight, and attack Shuiquan Pass immediately tomorrow." Yu Juluo, Liu Fang, Yuwen Hanfeng, Pei Yuanqing and other generals stood on a hillside, looking at Shuiquan Pass from afar. Although he won battles one after another, Yu Juluo felt a little restless in his heart.

"Rest assured, there are only 2,000 Turkic defenders in Shuiquan Pass, and our army will be pressed on, regardless of losses, and it can be captured in one or two hours." Yuwen Hanfeng said.

Yu Juluo nodded, but his heart was even more uneasy, and he hesitated and said: "Jincheng may be captured by the Turkic army at any time, and Ben Shuai can't wait for our rescue." ”

Pei Yuanqing said: "The path that the last general took to Jincheng before has also been exposed, and the Turks have already sent heavy troops to guard it, and it is difficult to break through. ”

Liu Fang said: "Don't worry, the three Ying Yang Lang generals such as Chen Sansi and Han Ziliang, the Taishou of Jincheng, are not incompetent, they just cut off the back road before, the morale of the army was lost, and the morale of the army was turbulent, so they were almost captured several times." Now Pei Yuanqing's 5,000 cavalry appeared outside Jincheng and was seen by them, there was no shortage of equipment, materials and food to defend the city in Jincheng, and even if half of the troops were lost in the past ten days, there were at least 30,000 or 40,000 people. It should be no problem to stick to it for three or four days. ”

Yu Juluo nodded, and the uneasiness in his heart dissipated a lot, and said: "What General Liu said is extremely true, it is that this commander is too anxious. ”

At this moment, a scout galloped over, dismounted and knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "The Grand Governor of Qiyu, the general of the Turkic Left Guard, Sguapiva, led an army of 80,000 to stop at Shuiquan Pass, and expelled tens of thousands of people to build a defense of Shuiquan Pass. ”

Yu Juluo's face changed, and everyone lost their color.

"I didn't expect the Turks to be so cautious that they would give up the field warfare they were good at and stick to Shuiquan Pass. In this way, it is impossible to break through the Yuquan Pass in a short period of time, how long can Jincheng defend? Yuwen Hanfeng gritted his teeth and said.

"Hmph, if it weren't for General Liu Fang's crippled Tuyuhun army, which made the Turks fearful, and thus adopted such a conservative policy, then how could Sguapiva be so cautious and thus harm the affairs of our army." Wang Wenxuan, the secretary of the imperial history, said suddenly.

When Liu Fang heard this, his face immediately turned red with anger, and he shouted, "What does Lord Wang mean by this?" ”

Wang Wenxuan was not afraid of Liu Fang at all, sneered, and said: "General Liu did not wait for the commander to lead the main force to arrive, so he took the initiative to move troops against Tuyuhun, and as a result, he startled the snake and let the enemy block the road of our army to rescue Jincheng. The official will report this matter to His Majesty and the Imperial Court as it is. ”

Liu Fang wanted to say something, Yu Juluo frowned, and said first: "Although Lord Wang has the responsibility of supervising the army, how to fight the war is not a matter of Lord Wang's right office, if we finally lose the battle, Lord Wang can impeach us at will, but before the battle is over, please Lord Wang be cautious, don't slander the general and mess with our army's heart." ”

The weight of these words said by Yu Juluo is extremely heavy, although Wang Wenxuan is the No. 2 person in the Imperial History Terrace, and he has served the imperial history from the third rank of the master, but he didn't dare to go too far in front of Yu Juluo, his face was red and white for a while, and finally said: "That official is waiting for the Metropolitan Governor and General Liu to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty and the imperial court." ”

After saying this, Wang Wenxuan flicked his sleeves and turned back to his tent.

"Treacherous villain." Liu Fang was still angry, looked at Wang Wenxuan and scolded.

Then he turned his head and hugged his fist at Yu Juluo and said, "Thank you, Grand Duke." ”

Yujuluo sighed and said: "General Liu, don't be polite, as Wang Wenxuan said, Your Majesty not only let us defeat the invading enemy, but also want us to defeat the three counties of Xiping, Wuwei and Zhangye, but now if we can't save Jincheng, how can we talk about defeating the three counties." ”

After a pause, Yu Juluo's expression was solemn, and he shouted: "Chuan Ben Shuai ordered to build siege equipment overnight, and when the Buddha dawns tomorrow, he will attack Shuiquan Pass." ”

The generals looked solemn and bowed down to receive the order.

……

……

"Your Royal Highness, your presence is my greatest blessing." In Shuiquan Pass, the Turkic general Sguapiva bowed down and stood in front of King Bodofa, who had fled from Longxi County.

What Yu Juluo, Liu Fang and other Sui generals didn't know was that Sguapiva originally wanted to fight a field battle with the Sui army, and it was the arrival of King Bodo that made Sguapiva change her attention, which also put the Sui army in an extremely embarrassing and uncomfortable situation. From this point of view, although this king of Potor did not have the experience of commanding armies and commanding battles, his mind was indeed extraordinary.

"General Shi don't worry, I'll go to Jincheng to see the Khan, and I will explain to him the reason for changing your battle attempts. As long as you firmly hold the Shuiquan Pass, the Khan will break through the Golden City, and the victory in this war will still belong to us. King Porto said.

Sgoutiva rolled her eyes and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

King Bodo said: "However, this Shuiquan Pass is too small, and it is useless to garrison too many people, I think that only 40,000 people will be left for you, which is enough to block the Sui army of 80,000 people, and the other 40,000 people will go to Jincheng with Sui and I, make peace with the main force of the Khan, and attack Jincheng with all our might." What do you think? ”

Sgappiva glanced at the bald vultures beside King Porto, who had always been calm and silent, and her face was embarrassed, but she finally said, "I respect to obey the orders of His Royal Highness." ”
