Rushing overnight and exhausting two war horses, Yang Shuang finally arrived at Yumen Pass at midnight.

Five hours and three hundred miles are enough to be called god speed in this era.

"Big brother!"

The bearded guest guarding the Xicheng Pass saw the familiar figure, and hurriedly opened the gate and hugged Yang Shuang, who was almost unconscious, off the horse.

Then put it into the warm water that Zhou Lao Wu had already boiled.

After waiting for a long time, Yang Shuang's physical function gradually recovered, and he didn't care about checking whether he had frostbite, so he quickly changed into a simple armor and came to the east gate.

Four hundred soldiers rested on the spot, and a thousand young men stood by the hundred carriages and were ready to go.

Compared with the first-class equipment, the range of medium-sized trebuchets and bed crossbows produced by the second-level engineering equipment factory has increased by almost one-third, reaching a mile!

Now it's all disassembled into parts and packed into wagons.

There is no shortage of horses in Yumen Pass, and the lame Turks have besieged it for a month, and they have not found the horse farm next to the dark water.

Through continuous conquest, there have reached 1,000 war horses, and if it were not for the fear of the robbery of bearded horses and horses, perhaps most of them would have been sold into the Central Plains long ago.

Tonight's raid, each wagon was equipped with five horses, and the speed of the march was not much slower than that of the cavalry.

Tired and tired to do so much, in order to be a soldier and fast!

Yang Shuang was just about to give the order to open, Ding Yanping walked quickly with a pair of black armor, followed by Dong Dazhui, who had never walked out of the blacksmith shop.

"Big brother, Bao Jia!"

The black armor is not flashy, it gives people the feeling that it is only two ordinary words, which can be looked at closely, but it is full of a rich atmosphere.

"The texture of this armor is good, the style is not Mingguang armor, nor is it a two-grade armor, a bit similar to the armor of the Northern Dynasty. Originally, the inner lining was biased, and I modified it according to the figure of An Gong, adding heart goggles and other things, although it is not as good as your Xuanwu heavy armor, but it is enough to resist cold arrows and soldiers' sneak attacks! ”

"Huh?" Hearing Dong Dazhui's words, Yang Shuang was a little stunned, could it be that before the soul was alive, there was still a pair of bull armor?

When Ding Yanping and the bearded guest heard this, they exchanged glances and nodded, as if they were sure of something, but they quickly returned to normal.

"Big brother, try it!"

Outside the east gate were full of old and young masters, Yang Shuang put down his reserve, directly took off the standard armor on his body, and with the help of the three of them, he put the armor weighing sixty catties on his body.

"Guan Cheng is mighty!"

When the three of them dispersed, the curious soldiers were stunned at first, and suddenly looked up to the sky and roared.

"General······ Style! Ding Yanping's lips squirmed, and he forcibly changed the three words he wanted to blurt out into five words.

"Haha, what is this, wait for Ann... Childe puts on the Xuanwu War ·····" Dong Dazhui noticed the gaffe, changed his words, and ordered a short and strong man behind him: "Disciple, go, bring the robe and cloak that you took from Rahu last time!" ”

Catching up with the hot eyes around him, Yang Shuang's chrysanthemum tightened, and his heart suddenly felt a little shy, but more excited.

Hell, it's a bit like going to an Internet café in a military uniform for the first time?!!

Soon, the beast coat and the crane cloak were hugged by Dong Xiaohammer.

"Where is the mirror?!"

When he was fully dressed and looked at the people around him who were full of praise, Yang Shuang couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart anymore and shouted loudly.

·······

Dunhuang, as an important city in the northwest, has always been a battleground for soldiers.

When the Turks moved south, both the Shabelio Khan in the east, the Apo Khan in the middle, and the Datou Khan in the west coveted this city.

If the eastern part of the city is captured, it will have a ticket to enter the Western Regions.

The central part of the city won the city, and the territory was more secure.

The western part of the city was captured, and the goal of passing through the Western Regions was initially achieved.

And the one who occupies Dunhuang at this time is the western Datou Khan!

Of course, as one of the world's most powerful triumvirate, he could not be here, but was engaged in a war of words with Persia and Rome.

However, due to the importance attached to this city, and now in his own hands, the general stationed in Dunhuang is his eldest brother Ashina Tush.

The power of Datou Khan is extraordinary in the Turks, not to mention the very weak Apo Khan who is sandwiched in the middle, even the Great Khan of Shabelio is not as good as it, after all, Datou can compete with the existence of Western countries.

His eldest brother, Tush, whose status is comparable to that of the prince of the Central Plains Dynasty, led the position of protector of the Great Leaves in the Turks.

This is a powerful figure second only to the Great Khan who can replace the Khan.

To put it simply, the royal family is old, and it is still the kind with real power.

If one day he suddenly got nervous and said to Datou Khan: "You are not doing a good job, change someone!" ”

This is not surprising at all, and it will even be supported by the majority of the population.

In the early morning, it was dark.

Tush, who was over 50 years old, had survived his muscles and bones, washed up, lit a foreign oil lamp, and began to look through the military situation.

"The veterans who fetched water yesterday were attacked, why haven't the wolves who went to pursue them have returned to their nests?"

"Back to Ye Hu, Saltu stayed in Yangguan, he said that the war in the east is about to end, and he is worried that Tuyuhun will mix in from Yangguan and take the opportunity to snatch the results of the war!"

Tush pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "The army is advancing eastward, the Dunhuang army is empty, and the king of Shanshan in the west is about to move, so he has to guard against it!" Ordered Saltu to transfer back 2,000 soldiers and horses, and he alone led 1,000 to stay in Yangguan to guard against Tuyuhun! ”

"Yes!"

"Yangguan, Yangguan!" Tush pondered for a while, and asked: "Rahu attacked Yumen Pass for more than a full month, and finally died, could it be that King Shanshan has endured the desire in his heart?" ”

"Lord Ye Hu, the person who occupies the Yumen Pass is not a horse thief in the Western Regions, but a Sui army!"

"Joke! The Sui people retreated to Hanoi, and now even Yinshan has been abandoned, and they can support more than a month under the 5,000-strong army of Rahu, and they can turn defeat into victory, do you think they are Sui troops? Where does the baggage come from? Where did the soldiers come from? Even if General Zuo Wuwei comes here, it is estimated that there is nothing to be done! ”

"My lord, they have the banner of "Sui", and the three big characters of "Yumen Pass"! ”

"War, I am deceitful, maybe it is the King of Shanshan who is pretending, I heard that the Loulan ghost envoy and the monk who killed the Buddha did not appear in Tuyuhun, it seems that the King of Shanshan is not a small ·····"

The middle-aged man who looked like he had joined the army no longer spoke.

Tush carefully flipped through the papers, brocades, and sheepskins, then closed his eyes in contemplation.

"Report, Lord Ye Hu, there is a Sui army in the west that is rapidly approaching Dunhuang City, and the other party seems to be preparing to attack!"

"Huh?" Tush was slightly stunned, "How many of them are there?" ”

"This ...... The sky is hazy, the opposite side is surging, don't look carefully, preliminary estimates, at least 10,000 people! ”

Tush didn't panic, and even sneered: "Look, that old thing of King Shanshan still can't help but make a move!" ”

"Ye Hu, how should our army respond?" The middle-aged man frowned and thought for a while, and continued: "Go out of the city to fight? ”

Tush shook his head, "Our army has no generals for the time being, and now when we go out of the city to face the battle, we will inevitably encounter the four protectors under the throne of Shanshan, how will we fight the generals then?" ”

"Han soldiers book cloud: ten are surrounded, five are attacked, and multiple are battled. There are only more than 10,000 people attacking, and there are still 3,000 parts in my city, see how they attack the city?! ”

"In addition, send a sentry to inform Saltu that he will abandon Yangguan for the time being, and lead three thousand troops to attack the enemy's rear army.

The middle-aged man stood up suddenly, "Yes, Lord Ye Hu!" ”
