Chapter 121: The Siege of Yanmen (7)

"Your Highness, the army in front is Li Wenyuan's army from the Western Regions, and it is said that the wolf head on their military flag is the wolf flag that captured the western Khan and set it on it." One of the pro-soldiers pointed to Li Wenyuan's military flag not far away and said.

Since Li Wenyuan seized several wolf flags of the Western Turks, he had a whim to embroider the wolf heads on these wolf flags on his own military flags to show off his army's military exploits.

"Are you saying that these wolf heads represent the exploits of my steppe warriors?" Dubi also looked over to see the wolf's head on the flag.

"I'm afraid that the reason why Li Wenyuan embroidered the wolf's head on the banner is this, Your Highness." The pro-soldier said.

"Then let's go and recapture the wolves that belong to the grassland first, and then humiliate those people in the west." Dubi drew his saber and said to his subordinates.

"Blocking in front is the Eastern Turkic Nibusha, the aggressive troops?" Li Wenyuan asked the military lord in front of him.

"Yes, the commander, the military flag of the Turks in front of me is the silver-headed wolf banner that can only be used by Nibushe, and now the one who holds the position of Nibushi is the younger brother of Shibi Khan." The military owl familiarly memorized the materials that he had already investigated in his heart.

"What did Udrud say?" Li Wenyuan broke off half of the dry food in his hand and handed it to the military lord in front of him. After a long march in a hurry, Li Wenyuan's army is now also some sleepy and lacking horses, and at this time they are hiding in the wilderness far away from the villages and towns to repair, and the soldiers have taken out bean cakes and water to feed their war horses, and then they take out dry food and start eating.

"General Udru has already led the first division and the Turks in front of him, and he asked me to tell you that the enemy in front of him can be dealt with in an hour, and the march of the army will definitely not be delayed." The military owl did not have the slightest politeness, and directly took the dry food handed over by Li Wenyuan and said while eating, in order to find out information for the army, they set off before dawn.

"Well, Uderu must be sure to say this, but don't be careless, you should pay attention to the movement of the battlefield at any time, and notify me as soon as there is any change." Li Wenyuan nodded and said.

The soldier took the half-eaten dry food and nodded to show that he understood, and then turned around and went out directly. Li Wenyuan raised his water belt and took a sip of water, picked up the map of Yanmen County drawn by the military owl and began to plan the next trip. Thanks to this map, Li Wenyuan was able to lead the Fourth Army to avoid the main interception of the Turks, and easily went deep into the hinterland of Yanmen County. It was also thanks to the group of Turkic scouts that after seeing Li Wenyuan's army, they wisely chose to retreat directly and report the news, so that the army led by Du Bi accurately intercepted Li Wenyuan's army.

"We are now in the north of Lao County, and we can reach Yanmen County before the sun rises tomorrow if we continue east." The staff officers showed Li Wenyuan the direction on the map.

"If you march in a hurry, can you reach Yanmen County at the end of the day? After all, that time is usually the weakest time for defense, and if you can launch an attack at this time, you should be able to defeat the Turks at the least cost. Li Wenyuan asked.

"Then General Udrud will end the battle in half an hour, and then we will set off immediately."

"Well, let the 2nd Division go to support the battle of Udru, and at the same time convey my order, let him fight quickly, and defeat the enemy in front of him, without deep pursuit."

The herald next to him truthfully recorded Li Wenyuan's order, and then turned around to convey Li Wenyuan's order.

At this time, Udrus had just cut off a small Turkic leader from his horse, and was looking for the next target, when he suddenly heard the sound of people shouting and neighing behind him, and for a moment even drowned out the sound of fighting on the battlefield. Uderu hurriedly looked back, and judging from the military flag, it was the second division of his own legion. Udrurus easily cut down a Turkic cavalryman who was about to sneak attack him, turned his horse's head and broke away from the battle circle to face the second division, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell the Governor that the battle would be over soon? The manager asked you to come, did you not believe me? ”

"Legion Commander, the chief has an urgent order, you can see for yourself." Knowing Uderu's temper, the commander of the second division didn't say anything, and directly took out Li Wenyuan's order and handed it to Uderu, he knew that only Li Wenyuan could control Uderu, who had already killed red-eyed Uderu at this time.

Uderu smeared the blood on his hand casually on his body in disbelief, snatched Li Wenyuan's order from the hands of the commander of the second division, cut the fire paint with the short knife he carried, unfolded the paper, and only saw what was written on it: Yanmen is a big matter, and the second division will defeat the enemy in front of it, and fight quickly, do not chase deeply, Li Wenyuan.

Only then did Uderu realize Li Wenyuan's intentions, and said to the commander of the second division in front of him: "The number of Turks opposite us is about 4,000 people, and they have been fighting with us for more than two moments. ”

Although Li Wenyuan personally led the troops to the battle, Udrew has always been the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, and it is natural for him to command other divisions at this time. When the commander of the 2nd Division heard Udru's words, he did not delay any longer, and immediately ordered his troops to rush from the direction of the two flanks to the Turkic army, which had been fighting in the 1st Division for a long time.

"Your Highness, our army has lost more than half of it, and the kind of thunder fire short stick of the Han people on the other side is too powerful, and the warriors who were pointed at by the short stick have not survived. Or let's go back, regroup and lead the army to kill. One of his henchmen said to him.

Dubi said with a cold face: "Go back? As a Nibusher, I don't know how many people covet my position, just waiting for my flaws. Wouldn't it be a matter of giving those people a handle to go back now? They don't care how strong the Han Chinese are against us, they only know that we lost to the Han Chinese. ”

"Qimin Khan was also defeated by the Han people at first, and in the end, he didn't sit in the position of Khan, as long as he used the general trend well, he didn't fail." The henchman said with relief.

"Nibushe! A large number of Han Chinese troops appeared on both flanks again! Our warriors are a little overwhelmed! At this time, a Turkic cavalryman rode over to report the situation.

"Your Highness, the Han people bully the few with more, and we were forced to retreat in order to prevent more warriors from dying useless." The henchman hurriedly suggested.

"Yes, retreat." After he finished speaking, he turned his horse's head with a black face and withdrew from the battlefield first under the escort of his own soldiers.
