The Tiger Killing Pass is only 200 miles away from Datong.

For the cavalry, it was just a day's journey.

Northwest of Datong, Wuzhou Mountain, Guanyin Temple.

The 50,000 cavalry coalition army led by Luo Cheng arrived in addition, only twenty miles away from Datong.

Wuzhou Mountain stretches for more than 30 miles, is located in the western suburbs of Pingcheng, when the Northern Wei Dynasty took Pingcheng as the capital, it was once very prosperous. Therefore, on the Wuzhou Mountain of 30 miles, there are also Buddhist temples all over the place, and the engraved stone niches, all over the Buddha statues, the calculation is not exhaustive, the solemn Hongguan, this is also the Yungang Grottoes later.

The Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang were built after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, and it can be said that it is in the same vein as the Longgang Grottoes.

"Pingcheng is located in the crossroads of the four major mountain ranges of Yinshan in the south, Yanshan in the east, Luliang and Taihang in the north, and it is indeed a barrier to the north."

Li Baiyao exclaimed.

Standing on Wuzhou Mountain, you can see farther.

Yunnei City is actually located in a relatively narrow Datong Basin, and the key reason why Datong's strategic position in ancient times has always been extremely important, that is, the passage of this basin, not the flat land in the basin.

Although this basin allows the Central Plains army and the people to cultivate the land on the northern border, and garrison the border. But the key point is that in the middle of several major mountain ranges here, the Datong Basin has become an important crossroads, connecting everywhere.

Go to Hetao in the west, go to the outside of the Saiwai in the north, go out of Youyan in the east, end up in Liaodong, or go south to the Central Plains and Guanzhong, Datong is a must pass through the road.

The fertile soil of this basin and the water of the Sanggan River made it possible for the garrison to be self-sufficient, allowing the garrison to continue to defend the border. This is also the reason why the Great Wall of the North of many dynasties is located in the north of Datong in the north of Shanxi, and further north, it can have a foothold and self-sufficiency.

Twenty miles.

Standing on Wuzhou Mountain, you can see the fierce battle on the plain below the mountain.

The 180,000 Turkic army surrounded Yunnei City, and the two Tang armies of Niupiguan and Heng'an Town also rode out to help.

"General Siye and Li Jing are very fierce, each with one or two thousand horsemen, they dare to fight against one or two hundred thousand Turkic troops, this is one enemy and one hundred." Feng Deyi also had to admire the fierceness of these warriors.

"Yunnei, Heng'an, and Niupiguan help each other, and it is not easy for the Turks to capture it." Qutu Passage, in the eyes of veterans like them, as long as they are in the pass, defending the city and fighting, the Turks are laymen.

Although there are only more than 10,000 people in the three-city joint defense, they can be linked, but they are also quite good.

"Great Marshal, it's time for us to attack, these damned Turks dare to ignore us like this." The purple-faced Heavenly King Zhao Gui asked for battle.

Luo Cheng just smiled.

"Do you really think Shibi is stupid? No, judging from his ruthlessness in killing Hu Guan, this guy is not only ruthless but also shrewd, before he suddenly withdrew from Guanxia, but he did enough drama, but unfortunately I didn't expect that I was not fooled, he took the south road, I took the east road, and let him wait for a few days in vain. ”

However, for the situation on the battlefield in front of him, Luo Cheng has his own judgment.

Looking at the offensive of the Turks, it was not at all used with all their strength.

Not to mention that 180,000 people fought a small county town in Yunnei, and there was no progress so far, let's just say that the two armies of Siye and Li Jing attacked, and the Turkic cavalry met the battle, but there were not many soldiers and horses.

The main force of the beginning has never been used.

There are only two possible outcomes.

Or, Shibi is still deliberately borrowing a knife to kill people and eliminate the threat of the Tiele people.

Or, he is still waiting for himself, and he has been pressing the main force, just to prevent his own assault.

After all, it was only two hundred miles, and Luo Cheng could kill on the battlefield at any time.

At this time, Luo Cheng commanded 50,000 troops here.

Among them, 3,000 Zhongwu heavy cavalry, 5,000 light cavalry, another 5,000 Khitan and Xi cavalry, and the remaining 30,000 were Turkic cavalry, led by Ashina Simo and Princess Yicheng.

After killing the Tiger Pass, Luo Cheng left 3,000 loyal cavalry and 30,000 Turkic troops to guard the pass.

Luo Cheng pressed the handle of the horizontal knife with his hand and looked at the battlefield.

The two warring sides both knew that he Luo Cheng was in command of a large army, and they also knew that he would come at any time, but they also had their own thoughts.

Li Jing and Siye naturally had confidence in their hearts, so they were not afraid of the Turkic 180,000 horsemen, and dared to reinforce Yunnei with one or two thousand horsemen.

And Shibi over there also knew that Luo Cheng would come, but he had been looking forward to Luo Cheng coming.

Killing a Xiongguan like Guan Hu is dangerous, and it is not where his Turkic cavalry comes in, so he is now here to fight Yunnei, just because he likes the open terrain of the plain here, and he wants to have a big cavalry battle with Luo Cheng outside Yunnei City.

He wanted to tell Luo Cheng what was called Turkic cavalry archery.

As long as he can defeat Luo Cheng in the clouds, then he can go wherever he wants, and no one will stop him.

Princess Yicheng is wearing silver armor, Luo Cheng has seen her several times this time, all of them are looking forward to seeing her palace dress, very graceful and luxurious, and her temperament is compelling.

"Duke Chu Guo, why don't you attack yet?" Princess Yicheng asked.

"The time has not come!" Luo Cheng smiled.

"Why?" The princess was puzzled. "Aren't you afraid of breaking the city?"

"Don't worry about this, in fact, it's very simple to solve the siege of Yunnei City." As he spoke, Luo Cheng beckoned, "Show the banner of the commander and blow the horn, but the whole army will not move!" ”

The soldiers went down to give orders.

Later.

The sound of the horn sounded on the Wuzhou Mountain, and then the snare drum thundered.

Immediately afterwards, on Wuzhou Mountain, one after another military flags were raised.

The battle flag of the loyal army is hung on a six-zhang high flagpole, and the big red flag is extremely bright.

There's a lot of movement here.

The Turks down the hill soon noticed that a few light horsemen approached to watch, and then returned to Shiwan.

Followed by.

The sound of trumpets was also heard in the Turkic Chinese army, but instead of attacking, it retreated.

The Turkic army besieging the city under Yunnei City slowly retreated, and even the Turkic cavalry engaged Siye and Li Jing retreated out of battle.

The golden wolf of the Chinese army, which had begun to finish, began to retreat southward, and the retreat was ten miles away from Yunnei City before stopping.

The Turkic army of 180,000 troops was deployed for ten miles, ready to welcome Luo Cheng down the mountain.

General Luo Chengzhu looked at the reaction of the Turks under the mountain and laughed in unison.

"Look, easily solve the siege of the inner city of Yun."

"But this also startles the snake!" The princess said.

"Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of, because Shibi has been waiting for me, and you can see from his previous formation, and there is no chance to surprise him. Instead of hitting it hard, it's better to slow down first. ”

"Slow?"

Luo Cheng nodded.

After he had 50,000 soldiers, plus 13,000 soldiers from Li Jing, Siye, and Li Shimin under the mountain, there were still only more than 60,000 people, but there were 180,000 at the beginning.

In particular, the terrain outside the city of Yunnei, which is a wide plain, is most suitable for the battle of the Turkic cavalry corps of the first century.

Luo Cheng attacked at this time, which was the length of attacking the enemy with a short time.

He didn't do such a loss-making deal.
