Behind the archers of the Sui army, a group of infantry armed with swords and axes suddenly poured out, so that the iron cavalry of the Eastern Turks did not react at once, and the cavalry who rushed to the front immediately waved spears and broadswords and pounced, but before they could cut the other party, their own horses' hooves had been cut over, and they fell off their horses and suffered swords and axes; Even if the Turkic cavalry stabbed or slashed the infantry of the Sui Dynasty in the back, most of the time they couldn't cut through the armor and lost their lives.

A thousand infantry unfurled, and in hand-to-hand combat, they saw the Turkic cavalry fall one after another; Defeated by the opponent's infantry, the servants were really helpless, until they were cut down by more than 700 horsemen, and there were less than 500 people around them, the two of them woke up and ran away with people. The heavy infantry could not catch up with the cavalry, but the crossbowmen who retreated behind were not idle, and the heavy armored soldiers were divided into two sides, and the Turkic soldiers escaped two hundred paces, and more than sixty giant crossbows fired in a volley, and more than three hundred cavalry were shot down at once.

The Sui army's war drums sounded loudly, and a thousand heavy armored soldiers were divided into two roads to reinforce the left and right, and Murong Xixiong led Suo Yanshou, Xifeng Changshan, and Wei Chigong 3,000 cavalry to rush directly to the Turkic Chinese army. The two thousand cavalry originally commanded two thousand cavalry on the two wings, Yuwen Chengdu and Xie Yingdeng, each of whom confronted the Turkic army led by Pin Yanding and Lin Yang and was on the defensive; Seeing the heavy armor coming to help, he immediately counterattacked and entangled the opponent.

Pin Yanding and Lin Yang are both battle-hardened generals, watching the 5,000 men and horses of the servant Gu'an annihilated, they understand that as long as the infantry is killed, they will be attacked on both sides, and they all sent 1,000 cavalry to snipe, and the battlefield was suddenly full of flesh and blood. What made Kang Sheli uncomfortable was that there were 300 heavy cavalry equipped with armor in the charge of the Gaochang Sui army, and the men and horses were all armored, like 300 moving iron towers in the sun, under the cover of light cavalry, rushed to the front of the Turkic formation, and the 1,000 Tiele Turkic cavalry that blocked it collapsed in a short time.

A thousand golden wolves rode up to meet them, and changed formations while urging the horses to gallop, and in a few breaths they were already approaching the heavy cavalry; The Golden Wolf Cavalry is the Great Khan's guard, everyone is extremely equestrian, and every fifty Turkic knights are connected end to end, like twenty whistling golden lightning, instantly sweeping over the heavy cavalry. The coordination and speed change of the golden wolf cavalry is breathtaking, and the armored cavalry rushes diagonally in front and back, but the result is dismal, and the invincible wolf cavalry only cut down less than 200 heavy cavalry, most of which are still won by chopping down horses.

Wei Chi Gong shouted, urged the horse to cross the heavy cavalry, brandished a steel spear, and desperately killed Kang Sheli, there was almost no enemy in front of the horse, and he rushed over to intercept it, and was stabbed to death by Yu Chi Gong with a spear after ten moves. Three thousand Sui cavalry followed behind a hundred heavy cavalry, overwhelmingly slaughtered, and the remaining 2,000 cavalry of the Chinese army trembled; Seeing that the situation was not good, he let people retreat around Kang Sheli, and he commanded the Chinese army to resist to the death.

Murong Xixiong shouted: "Kang Sheali has fled." ”

The Sui army shouted one after another, Pin Yanding and Lin Yang saw the Golden Wolf Banner moving, and immediately led their own teams to flee, the Sui army's war drums urged, Murong Xixiong commanded the army to chase and kill for thirty miles before withdrawing the army, and the servant Gu'an was killed by Suo Yanshou's first-class star hammer; In this battle, 10,000 Eastern Turkic cavalry were killed and 7,000 horses were captured. In the end, only 4,500 horses were reported, and Yang Chong asked the infantry to return to Tiandi County first with no one on a war horse; A group of generals such as Long Shanming and Shan Xiongxin all understood that Yang Chong also wanted to expand the cavalry by 2,000.

When the Wuhu and Qibi coalition forces returned to the Greedy Sweat Mountain, Yang Shanjing had already run away with 10,000 women and children, leaving 10,000 old and weak women and children and some livestock left in the cottage by Yang Shanjing. Yang Shanjing left a letter to Qibi Gelen, and only said one meaning, if the Baishan Alliance pursued and killed, he would kill all the women and children; Let no one get it, if Qi Bi Gelen does not pursue, he will sell it to 8,000 slaves of the White Mountain Alliance in the future, as long as the money is ready.

Kang Sheli's defeated army would soon join Yang Shanjing, and Qi Bi Gelen and Wu Yuanlang did not think that they could defeat the wolf horse, so they simply followed Qi Ge to Gaochang to meet Yang Chong. The place where the Sui army and the Eastern Turks fought seemed to be a hell, with blood and water everywhere, corpses, dead horses, and mutilated weapons; The fifteen thousand heads of the Eastern Turks of the Sui army once again piled up a landscape.

After Yang Chong met with Qibi Gelen and Wu Yuanlang, he agreed to provide assistance to Greedy Sweat Mountain, and the Turpan Commercial Bank provided 200,000 catties of grain, which was considered to be bought by Qibi Ge, and it was deducted from Qi Ge's commission in the future; As for the rest, Yang Chong asked Qi Bi Gelen to take out a list and send it to the county in the form of a concerto, and the business was done. However, Wang Ting, who was in charge of cleaning up the scene, left about 3,000 sets of leather armor on the corpse, and the Tiele people stripped them all away when they helped bury them.

Yang Chong led the army back to Gaochang City was warmly welcomed and congratulated, after the celebration banquet, Yang Chong Fang Xuanling, Cui Kaiyuan, and Murong Xixiong found the county guard's mansion, and asked clearly that the battle must be reported. Cui Kaiyuan and Murong Xixiong are inexplicable, such a great achievement, the generals and officers in the army can be promoted, low-key, what should I do with military merits?

Fang Xuanling understood that Yang Chong was not optimistic about the Eastern Crusade, and proposed: "Lord Yang, we have to believe in the center, and the more we don't believe in many things, the more difficult it will be. What I mean is the actual report, and everyone is carrying it together. ”

Cui Kaiyuan and Murong Xixiong also meant the same, and Yang Chong could only agree to report truthfully; It was late autumn when the song arrived in Zhuojun, and the war in Goguryeo had just ended, and the Great Sui was defeated by land and water. After the general of Youyiwei led the Jiang and Huai water armies to defeat the Goguryeo naval division, he did not listen to the advice of the deputy governor Zhou Fashang, and selected 40,000 elite soldiers to kill into Pyongyang City.

In order to cooperate with the sailors, the left Yiwei general Yuwen Shu out of the Fuyu Road, the right Yiwei general Yu Zhongwen out of the Lelang Road, the left Xiaowei general Jing Yuanheng out of the Liaodong Road, the right Yiwei general Xue Shixiong out of the Wofu Road, the right Tunwei general Xin Shixiong out of the Xuanfu Road, the right guard general Zhang Jin out of the Xiangping Road, the right Wu general Zhao Cai out of the Jieshi Road, the Zhuojun Taishou inspection school left Wuwei general Cui Hongsheng out of the Suicheng Road, the right imperial guard Hu Benlang will Wei Xuan out of the Zeng tunnel, the division in the west of the Liao River.

Yu Wenshu twice fell into the Goguryeo minister Ulji Wende's plan to surrender, and finally retreated after running out of food, and was ambushed in Sashui and Liaohe, and the whole army was defeated. What is stronger than another time and space is that the Eastern Expedition was a year ahead of schedule, Yang Xiong, Duan Wenzhen and others did not die, and they were much more experienced in arrangement, at least they discovered the dam of the Liao River, destroyed and released water in advance, and let Zhou Fashang lead the remnants of the water division to respond,

The army of 110,000 was saved, and half of the grain, grass, equipment and materials were saved.

Rao is like this, the Zuotunwei general Xin Shixiong was killed in battle, plus the 40,000 naval army, the total loss of 230,000 soldiers is also unbearable for the center and the top. Yang Chong's recital made Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty look a lot better, but for the ministers of the center, it was particularly eye-catching; Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ordered that six people, including Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen, Jing Yuanheng, Cui Hongsheng, Zhang Jin, and Xin Shixiong, be defeated and removed from the people, and behead Liu Shilong, the right man of Shangshu, to thank the world.

Wei Xuan was the last to bring in the difference, and Zhao Cai, the general of the Right Martial Force, brought back almost all the troops, so naturally there was no need to be punished, and Yu Zhongwen would be fine if he didn't lead the whole army. But the non-punishment of Laihu'er made most people feel unfair, if it wasn't for the failure of Laihu'er, even if Yuwenshu acquiesced to his subordinates to abandon the grain and grass, the sailor could also supply, and the 300,000 army would not be in chaos regardless of attack and retreat, resulting in a fiasco.
