Volume 5 Whose Great Cause Chapter 7 Hearty Victory
In order to prevent chaos, the Turks and Murong's private army were divided into two camps, however, the Murong family is of Xianbei blood, and there are people from all ethnic groups in the family, and it is not difficult to find someone to mix into the Turkic camp.
Murong Shao was shocked and angry, and quickly reported to Murong Sanzang, at this time, there was only one day before the Turks launched, Murong Sanzang gritted his teeth and decided to strike first.
The war that occurred in the north in the first year of the Great Cause was full of drama, first the Murong family, which had been inherited for hundreds of years, launched a rebellion, and the head of the family, Murong Sanzang, united the Turkic and Goguryeo armies to invade the interior violently, but the foundation of the Great Sui was stable, except for the land of the two states supported by the Murong family, no one responded, and Goguryeo was blocked by the army of Luo Yi, the general of Dongyi, and could only play the role of waving the flag and shouting.
Just when Murong Sanzang and the Turkic army jointly attacked Mayi in order to open up this important city that blocked the Turkic army from going south, the Turks and Murong Sanzang suddenly turned their faces, and the ghost army of the Murong family only symbolically attacked the city wall of Mayi, and before the Turkic army was about to start, they launched an attack first, and the unprepared Turkic army was attacked by the fully armored Murong private army before they could get on their horses, and they suffered heavy casualties.
In terms of foot warfare, ten Turks may not be able to defeat a Murong ghost army, not to mention that the Turks are bent on calculating the Murong ghost army, but they didn't expect to be calculated by others.
Fortunately, the Turks were three times the size of Murong's private army, and this time it was the Great Khan who came in person. The golden wolf cavalry of its escort was the most courageous, barely blocking the attack of Murong's army at the last moment, without collapsing, and gradually the Turks who were running at the beginning also returned to fight, and the two sides gradually turned into a stalemate.
With this stalemate, Murong's disadvantage of having few soldiers was exposed. Murong Sanzang had no choice but to lead his army to retreat after seeing the Huai opportunity, and the Turks had not fully recovered from the previous blow. Unable to catch up, the two armies disengaged.
After Murong Ghost Army retreated, Tuli picked up some losses, and his own family suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. Fifty thousand horses were lost. This loss made the Turks thunderous, if the private army of the Murong family was allowed to retreat like this, he, the Great Khan, would not have to do it, and after spending a while to straighten out the soldiers and horses, he did not hesitate to chase down, fortunately, the Turks were all one-person, two-rider or even three-horse, although they lost more than 50,000 horses, they were not afraid of no horses. Lin Lei
Murong Sanzang had expected the Turkic land to pursue, and kept fighting and leaving. Although the Turks had the advantage in strength, it was not easy to defeat Murong Sanzang's men and horses, and the two sides were entangled in battle, losing hundreds of people every day, just like cutting meat with a knife. It made Murong Sanzang feel heartbroken.
These people are the foundation of the Murong family. If you die, you will have one less, in desperation. Murong Sanzang sent people to ask for peace with Tuli, although the daily attack, the loss of the Turks was not less than that of Murong Sanzang, the Turks were heartbroken, but the Turks had suffered a big loss, and now the victory was in hand, and there was Changsun Sheng next to supervise, how could the Turks agree to reconcile, and commanded the men and horses to attack Murong Sanzang every day.
Murong Sanzang had no choice but to die and reconcile, and was finally besieged by the Turkic army on a hill about 100 miles away from Mayi.
The changes in the war made Ma Yi Taishou Pei Yun stunned, and he was worried about Ma Yi's defense day and night, but he didn't expect that he didn't need to make a move at all, and he suddenly had infinite admiration for Changsun Sheng.
Just a few days after the Turks surrounded Murong Sanzang's men and horses, the imperial army arrived, and the 100,000 Sui army led by Yang Liang, Qu Tutong, and Zhang Xingzhi surrounded the Turks and Murong Sanzang's rebels.
Tuli and the rest of the Turkic nobles woke up like a dream, knowing that they had become the eldest grandson of Sheng, and that Tuli was now the daughter of the Great Sui clan, and that Tuli also wanted to see Yang Liang in person as a concubine of the Great Sui, and wanted to intercede with Yang Liang, and forgive him for his invasion of the Great Sui border, and reaffirm the good-neighborliness and friendship between the two places.
It's just that as soon as Tuli arrived at the Sui army camp, he was immediately ordered to deduct by Yang Liang, not to mention that there was a secret order from the emperor, even if there was no, Yang Liang would not let the merits slip away, on the same day, the Sui army rested overnight, and the next day launched an attack on the Turks and Murong rebels.
Hundreds of thousands of troops fought fiercely within a radius of only dozens of miles, facing the absolute superiority of the Sui army, whether it was the Turks or Murong's private army, all of them were frightened, not to mention that they had already been exhausted after the fierce battle in front, in order to resist the attack of the Turks, most of the powerful long-range weapons brought out by Murong's private army were consumed, and even the swords and guns in their hands were many gaps, and the Turks were the same, and only a small part of their most willish wolf tooth arrows were left, which was not enough for combat at all.
Without the wolf's tooth arrows, the Turks lost more than half of their combat power, without strong crossbows, throwing guns and other things, the combat power of Murong's private army also dropped by more than half, the Sui army was fully prepared, the material was sufficient, the crossbow arrows were fired as if they didn't need money, and the whole sky seemed to be covered by the crossbow arrows launched by the Sui army.
The Turks and Murong allied forces only resisted for half a day before they collapsed, first the Turks fled, and then Murong private's army also began to flee for their lives, and the entire battlefield was littered with the corpses and wounded soldiers of the allied army.
Although the Sui army has an army of 100,000, of course, it is impossible to surround tens of thousands of people without a gap, but it is not easy to escape from the gap.
Those remnants of the army who broke out of the encirclement did not have time to rejoice, and they had to face the pursuit of another part of the recuperated Sui army, and most of them either surrendered halfway or died under the pursuit of the Sui army, and in the end, there was not one in ten who really escaped. Most of the Turkic nobles were captured, and only one third prince escaped, Murong Sanzang's younger brother Murong Jianzhong, nephew Murong Gui, Murong Kun and others were not in the battle.
After cleaning the battlefield, 40,000 Turkic wolves rode and killed more than 11,000 people, and more than 20,000 people were taken prisoner, while 15,000 Murong private troops, minus the previous casualties, there were 13,000 people, more than 8,000 dead and wounded, 3,000 people were taken prisoners, and only more than 1,000 people escaped
In terms of the proportion of casualties, Murong's private army was far greater than that of the Turks, this was because Murong's private army was a rebel army, and they were afraid that they would not end well after being captured, so they fought desperately, and the Turks were still lucky, thinking that the Sui army would still hand them over to another Turkic nobleman who had been re-up.
However, when these captives learned of their fate, they all wished that they had died on the battlefield in the first place, otherwise they would not have suffered such a serious crime.
Due to adequate preparation and material sufficiency, the casualties of the Sui army were negligible, with no more than 1,000 casualties, and the fly in the ointment was that the rebel leader Murong Sanzang and a nephew Murong Shao escaped.
According to the statistics of the Sui army, in the half-day attack, the Sui army fired more than 2 million crossbow arrows, which was a hearty victory for the Sui army.
When the news reached the capital, it was close to the end of December of the first year of the Great Cause, and the New Year was about to arrive, and the capital was also covered with the first snow, becoming crystal clear, regardless of the cold, and the streets were crowded with smiling residents, who began to buy all kinds of things, ready to celebrate the New Year happily.
Due to the departure of the emperor, the whole country must keep filial piety for three months, starting from August, the whole capital has stopped all kinds of entertainment, marriage and other activities, and now it has just left the filial piety not long ago, therefore, in addition to the New Year, the marriage that used to stop because of the departure of the emperor is also lively again, the capital is one hundred and fourteen squares, and there are people in the square every day to do happy events, so it is more and more lively.
At this time, the news of the Great Sui army's victory over the Turks and rebels on the border came, which pushed this excitement to another level, and the whole capital was plunged into the sound of firecrackers.
After the establishment of the Great Sui, not only ended the division between the north and the south for hundreds of years, but also the country was rich and the people were sufficient, and Yang Jian's prestige among the people can be said to be very high, although the prince is known as a virtuous person, but Yang Jian's sudden departure is still a certain blow to most people's hearts, which is also the reason why Goguryeo and the Turks will take the opportunity to invade.
The strength of the Turks is still in the memory of the older generation, just more than 20 years ago, in the face of the invasion of the Turks, many wealthy merchants and nobles in the capital were afraid that the Turkic soldiers were coming to the city, and even rolled up and fled out of the capital
The ministers who had just received the news also congratulated the emperor one after another, and the casualties of more than 1,000 people in their own bodies were exchanged for the record of capturing tens of thousands of enemies and destroying tens of thousands of enemies, even in the more than 20 years that Emperor Wen was in power, and some ministers simply slapped the new emperor's martial arts have surpassed the sycophants of the previous emperor.
Fortunately, Yang Yong is still sober, this big victory he has nothing to do except move his mouth, however, Yang Yong is inevitably happy in his heart, and issued a will, in addition to waiting for the meritorious soldiers to come back and reward, the people of the capital also get benefits, each household can receive two buckets of rice and noodles, and one hundred dollars as happy money, and hundreds of officials can also receive an extra month of Yulu for the New Year, and the capital is even more joyful and immersed in joy.
