"The Turks have retreated!" The soldier on the Udrud's side said happily.

The cries of the Turks retreating echoed among the Udrus, the joy of victory over the enemy washed away the sorrow of the death of their comrades, and the cheers infected those who were crippled by the battle, so that they forgot for a moment their physical pain and enjoyed the joy of victory.

After commanding his troops to chase out of two miles for a while, he collected his troops and joined Li Wenyuan, reporting to Li Wenyuan the results of the battle. Nearly 2,000 Turks were wiped out in this battle, and the 1st Division lost less than 700 and could continue to fight.

Li Wenyuan nodded, and said to Uderu: "The First Division is the elite of your Fourth Army, right?" ”

Udrew nodded and said, "Yes, the bravery of these soldiers is not comparable to even the bravest warriors of the steppe. ”

"Well, since you are carrying the name of the elite, you have to take on the heavy responsibility of the elite, I want you to continue to be the vanguard in the front to continue to tear apart the defense line of the Turks, and follow this route to the Turkic base camp under the city of Yanmen County." Li Wenyuan said that he pointed out the planned march route to Utreu on the map.

Udr nodded and said, "Continuing to open the way in front is naturally not a problem, but now some of the wounded can't keep up with the speed of the march, how can we settle them?" ”

"A bandit from Yanmen County will come and take over the wounded." Li Wenyuan said very plainly.

Wu Delu, who had long known that Li Wenyuan had a layout for the Central Plains, also nodded, and commanded his subordinates to hand over the seriously wounded to the military lords who accompanied the army, and the military lords escorted them to a nearby bandit cottage.

This bandit was initially funded by the Night Stalkers to annex several other rebel armies in the vicinity, and eventually became the largest bandit force in Yanmen County. Later, the night owl played some tricks, and replaced the core layer and backbone of this tributary bandit with the night owl's own people, because there was a special financial source, this tributary bandit did not do some things to rob the house, which also made Yanmen County intentionally or unintentionally ignore the existence of this tributary bandit, and at the same time, if there are some bandits in Yanmen County, this tributary bandit will go to suppress the bandits before the official army, and then it has gained a foothold in Yanmen County. This time, although all the territory of Yanmen County fell except for Yanmen County and Lao County, this bandit took advantage of the dangerous terrain of the cottage to take in the people who fled nearby and resisted the attack of the Turks. At this time, it happened to be used as a temporary place to settle the wounded in the army.

After settling the wounded, Li Wenyuan and Uderu set out again with their troops, following the established route.

"Are you saying that your 4,000 warriors are no match for 6,000 Han Chinese?" Shibi Khan looked at his brother in front of him who was stained with a lot of blood, and said with some anger that since he was used as a gun by the Goguryeo people, it seems that nothing can be carried out smoothly, which also makes Shibi Khan anxious, and the surrounding Han army has begun to slowly gather over, but he has suffered heavy casualties under Yanmen City and cannot attack. There were a few times when they finally broke through the city wall, but they didn't know where the Han people got the perseverance to kill the Turks who climbed the gap in the city wall again, and then took advantage of the Turks to prepare for the offensive again, demolishing the houses in the city as materials to temporarily repair the city wall, and when the Turks were ready to attack, they were faced with a fortified city with complete walls.

"They use a kind of lightning and fire stick that emits smoke and fire and a loud sound, and all my men who have been pointed at by this short stick will bleed outward and die on the spot, without exception. I couldn't control my many subordinates, and in order to reduce the useless deaths, I chose to let my subordinates evacuate the battlefield, and I firmly believe that even if Tengger came in person, he would have made such a decision. Dubi straightened up and said.

"Enough, I don't care what kind of short stick, where is that Han army now?" Shibi Khan knocked on the table and stopped the voices in the camp that were talking because they had listened to the words.

"Our scouts lost the news of the location of this team, and when we sent scouts to check after the war, we found that they were no longer there, and the corpses left on the battlefield were only those of our warriors, not those Han Chinese. However, based on the remaining horseshoe prints, our men judged that the Han army must have advanced towards the fortress of the bandits to the north. Dubi said.

"Forget it, a 6,000-strong Han cavalry can't make any waves, our top priority now is to capture Yanmen County as soon as possible, you must know that the Han reinforcements are about to arrive in Xinkou." Shibi Khan said with a frown.

"Khan, tomorrow I will personally lead my troops to attack the county town of Yanmen to wash away the shame of my defeat." Dubi hurriedly asked.

"Forget it, your subordinates have suffered a lot of losses today, you have to appease them well, instead of using their blood to wash away your own shame." Shibi Khan said mercilessly, he is not really angry with his brother now, but his son is still young and needs a clan to help him lead the huge Turks, and this candidate is his younger brother.

Although he is not very good at leading troops to fight, his loyalty to himself and his high prestige are what Shibi Khan needs most, so this time he came out with Dubi and wanted him to accumulate some military exploits, but Dubi's first battle ended in failure. At this time, after Shibi Khan learned that the Han reinforcements had arrived in Xinkou, he had already had the idea of retreating in his heart, and the siege operation that was doomed to fail the next day was naturally no longer able to let his younger brother preside, so he decisively rejected his brother's invitation to fight, but instead chose a warrior from the Tiele Department as the next day's siege candidate.

After arranging the next day's action, Shibi Khan waved his hand to disperse the crowd in the tent, feeling only exhausted, and not long after sending off the generals, he lay down on a soft and comfortable sheepskin blanket and fell into a deep sleep.

"Chief, that is Yanmen County, and the camp of the Turks is stationed under the city wall, you see the golden wolf flag in the camp, it should be the camp of Shibi Khan, it seems that our adventure has been successful." The staff officer and Li Wenyuan came to the vicinity of Yanmen County under the guidance of the military owl, and the staff officer deliberately lowered his excited voice and said.

Li Wenyuan nodded, and gently retreated to the camp not far away with everyone, Li Wenyuan instructed: "Don't let any Turks until we are here, all the scouts and military lords will go out, hunt all the Turks who may know that we are here, and then tell Udrus that we will attack the camp at midnight tonight." ”
