Chapter 154 Important Tasks

"Bastard!"

In the Turkic king's tent, just learned that the 30,000-strong army had been defeated in Shanyin County, Shibi Khan couldn't help but be furious, grabbed the tea cup on the table and smashed it on the ground, and the soldiers and maids in the room were so frightened that they fell to their knees, trembling!

After a while, Shibi Khan restrained his anger slightly, but his face was still as cold as ice, "Bring him in!" ”

After a while, two soldiers walked in with a general, the general's face was pale, his limbs were soft, and his feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, if it weren't for the two soldiers holding him, maybe he wouldn't be able to stand up!

The soldiers put him in front of Shibi Khan, and no matter what he did, he directly closed his long arms, and the general "Bang!" With a sound, he fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Khan spares his life!" Khan spares his life! ”

"Say!"

Shibi Khan ignored his pleas for mercy, his cold eyes stared at the general, and his expression did not change at all, as if he was looking at a dead man!

"Yes!"

The general trembled, and his voice trembled a little, "The last general led 30,000 troops to chase all the way yesterday, and the 5,000 Sui troops fled all the way, and in Shanyin County, a hundred miles away, the general followed closely behind the Sui army and chased into a canyon basin more than ten miles long. Unexpectedly, the Sui army had already set up an ambush here, they built a dam on the Sanggan River to intercept the water, and after the Sui army passed, they diverted the water to pour it back, and the people were nowhere to hide in the canyon, there was nowhere to escape, and the rear army team was killed and wounded more than 10,000 people in an instant under the impact of the torrent. The back road has been broken, no general is helpless, only to lead the rest of the army to continue to rush forward to break through, but there are tens of thousands of ambushes buried by the Sui army in front, the last general has the heart to lead the army to fight to the death, but the army's heart has been scattered, morale is completely gone, the soldiers can not resist the attack of tens of thousands of elite Sui troops, and they are soon scattered and cut, and the last general finally had to lead more than 1,000 people to break out of the encirclement! ”

This general was the chief general of the Turkic army who was ambushed in Shanyin County yesterday, and after breaking through Wang Rengong's interception, he led the remaining 1,500 people to run all the way for dozens of miles, and it was not until half a day later that he led the army to return to the Turkic camp by fork in the road, and he did not know at all how many people the Sui army had ambushed.

encountered the ambush of tens of thousands of elite Sui troops, this was just a confession agreed upon by him and the surviving soldiers before returning to the Turkic camp, in order to reduce the punishment for defeat!

After the general finished speaking intermittently, he couldn't help but look up to see Shibi Khan's reaction, but found that Shibi Khan was staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of fear in his heart, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Khan spare his life!" Khan spares his life! ”

Shibi Khan still ignored him, and just asked coldly, "How many ambushes are there in the Sui army?"

The general kept kowtowing, and replied in a trembling voice: "The last general didn't see it clearly, but there are at least 60,000 people!"

Shibi Khan didn't ask again, staring at the general with cruel eyes, and the general didn't dare to speak anymore, and kept kowtowing. For a while, except for the kowtowing of the generals, the king's tent was a little scary!

After a while, Shibi Khan, who was still frosty, recruited two pro-soldiers, "This person is not effective in leading the army, and he is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he pulled it out and cut it down, and informed the whole army!" ”

After speaking, Shibi Khan didn't pay attention to the general who collapsed to the ground, lowered his head and pondered, the early arrival of Sui Dynasty reinforcements disrupted his siege plan, and the unknown situation and number of Sui Dynasty reinforcements made him a little jealous, and he didn't know what to do.

After a long time, he sighed and waved his hand to summon the herald, "Order, the whole army will suspend the siege of the city, and the vanguard scout army must find out the situation of the Sui army within a radius of 200 miles from Yanmen City within three days!" ”

……

Four hundred miles north of Shanyin County, here is a boundless prairie.

In the early morning, the fog shrouded the field, and the hazy and visible fog was like a curtain falling from the world, making the sky and the earth boundless, and the pastures, tents, and rivers in the distance were covered, and only within a hundred steps would you find a river, and then you would find a tent of the steppe people on the edge of the river.

There were many tents, thousands of them stretched for miles, and the fence next to the tent was tied to the property of their entire tribe, and there were tens of thousands of horses, fat cows, and lambs, and from these, it can be seen that this tribe was at least a large tribe of more than 10,000 people!

Several allied scouts arrived and observed for a while, remembering the various situations of the steppe tribes in their hearts, and quietly retreated!

Thirty miles to the south, a cavalry team of 5,000 Allied cavalry was advancing northward, their speed was not very fast, their armor was disguised as the appearance of a Turkic army, if it were not for close observation, they were an elite Turkic cavalry!

They are the cavalry team sent by Su Shang to perform important tasks, and the army at this time is headed by Li Jing as the main general, Su Dingfang is the deputy general, and with them, there are more than a dozen junior generals of the allied army!

"General, we've been gone for two days, but we haven't even seen a shadow of the tribe. If this continues, when will we be able to complete the task? Looking at the sky above the vast white grassland, Li Fan said with some discouragement!

Mo Qu was also a little worried, "Yes! If we continue like this, we will run out of dry food! General, it is better for us to divide into several teams and search forward, so that it will also be easier to find those Turkic tribes. ”

This time, their task was to take advantage of the fact that the Turkic army was heading south and the Turkic tribes were empty, to sweep away the Turkic tribes on the border of the Great Sui, so as to cut off the rear supply lines of the Turkic army, and loot the war horses, cattle and sheep of the Turkic tribes, in fact, this was also the preferred method that Su Shang was preparing to use to raise 50,000 war horses!

Therefore, this mission needs to be fast and flexible, guerrilla warfare, not only does the army not carry all kinds of baggage, but even the food only brings dry food for five days, and there is no need to supply on the spot, but now two days have passed, but not even the shadow of a Turkic tribe has been seen, which makes those young generals very anxious and worried!

Seeing that all the young generals were looking at him, Li Jing stopped at the horse and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone! I was here two years ago, and if I'm not mistaken, there should be a Wan Rén Dà tribe near here, but now the fog is a bit big, and I can't observe too far away, so I can only wait for news from the scout army, but everyone should be on guard to prevent sudden encounters with Turkic tribes! ”

As soon as his words fell, several scouts rode from afar on their horses, "Report to the general, thirty miles northwest of this place, a tribe of ten thousand people has been discovered!" ”

"Good!"

Everyone looked at Li Jing in unison, Li Jing did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Pass my order, Dajun Zhuǎn direction, go at full speed to the northwest!"

Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
