Tianqi disagreed and said: "Xu Shiji is just beating away the opponent this time, as long as he is ruthless enough, the Khitans will definitely concentrate their army to take revenge, and once the casualties are too large, they will withdraw from the battlefield, and the actual opponent is the Xi people." They have lived in the city, changed their habits, and have nowhere to run but to fight to the death. ”

Yang Chong smiled and said: "The Xi people will not fight to the death, the Great Sui is the suzerainty of the Turks and the Xi people, and it is not ugly for the Xi people to take refuge in us, and at the critical moment of the survival of the nation, the Xi people will be desperate." ”

What kind of faith is there between countries, as long as the strength of the Sui army is strong enough, the Xi people will choose to survive and don't care about face; Civilization or barbarism, every struggling nation knows that its own interests are above all else, as the war report a few days later proved.

Liu Heimin's troops disguised themselves as Turkic and Xia allied forces, all the way through Xifengkou, Wohu Mountain, and Dushi Town, arrived at White Wolf City, crossed the White Wolf River, seized Yanle City, and captured Mu Kun, the chief of the Duji Department, and 4,000 Xi soldiers; The Turks were capricious, and the Xi people immediately spread the news of the Turkic attack, and the Turkic army was blocked in Fangcheng, and the time was delayed in vain amid rumors.

Xu Shiji's chosen target was the Duhuo tribe that had always been the most supportive of the Turks, and on the way south of the Khitan Eight Tribe, the Duhuo Tribe's department moved southward the fastest, and was strangled by Zhang Jinshu, Tudiji, and Guo Qing's Hexi Army cavalry at the foot of Nurur Tiger Mountain; The 6,000 people and 7,000 clansmen of the Duhuo Department were slaughtered, and without Xu Shiji's order, they all knew that the Khitan counterattack would arrive soon, and no one would leave prisoners as a burden.

Su Dingfang and Tianjian's 10,000 men arrived the next day, and Xu Shiji saw the great joy and immediately decided to stay in the wilderness and attract the Khitan army to take revenge. The Khitan Seventh Division prepared 40,000 people who controlled the strings to fight for some face, and it arrived on the third day, Xu Shiji ordered Tudiji and Harrier Battalion Captain Ao Balie to lead their headquarters to cover the flanks for the rangers on the left and right, and after the victory, they chased and killed, leading Su Dingfang, Zhang Jinshu, and Guo Qing.

Ao Balie was very dissatisfied, this is looking down on the elite of our harrier battalion, we are the men and horses appointed by the king of Yue, but we are in awe of Xu Shiji's high position, and muttered that he took three thousand horse thieves to the right wing. Waiting to see the two armies set up in formation, and the thirty airships flew into the sky one by one, Ao Balie didn't dare to speak, he had always heard of that kind of magical fighting, and he had to take a closer look today.

The fear of the Khitan people is even more intense, the defeat of the Xi people and the Turks has long been spread all over the grassland, and I have always thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to be true, after the thunder that fell in the sky began to explode, the war horses neighed wildly, the formation was chaotic, and the Khitans completely lost the courage to fight; The Khitans believed in ghosts and gods, mistakenly believing that God had sent opponents to punish them, and unconsciously, the formation had begun to retreat.

At the moment when the banner of Daga Duro was blown down, the Hexi army launched an attack, and ten thousand horses galloped wildly, marching with neat steps, rushing towards the enemy formation; The Khitan army was unable to fight effectively under the attack of the airship thunder of the Thunderbolt battalion, and after the two thousand cavalry at the front were scattered by Su Dingfang, the whole army began to flee, and the seven divisions understood that only if they could go back alive could they have a future, and the 40,000 army was defeated effortlessly by Xu Shiji's 15,000 cavalry.

The Harrier Battalion's favorite thing is to beat the water dogs, Ao Balie took the lead, and three thousand horse thieves roared past, penetrating the left flank of the Khitan escape, and almost kept chasing and killing, chasing out a full 200 miles. Dahe Mo will look at the clansmen who have collapsed, and then he understands why Tudiji has become another person, losing his ambition to be the king and hegemon in the northeast, and in the face of the Hexi army, the armies of the Hu tribe are really not opponents of one level.

The Hexi army counted the results of the battle, captured tens of thousands of war horses, beheaded 21,000 heads, plus the heads of the Duhuo troops, and piled up a head at the foot of Nurur Tiger Mountain. Having lost 20,000 strong men, the Khitans' only option was to retreat and run north desperately; Apparently aware of this, he and the cave brother commanded the men and horses to withdraw to safety, and sent a messenger to Tuli a day later to explain the situation.

Tuli received the news, and the Xi people realized that the Hexi Army had come over, and Yanle City was the Hexi Army, but now it was too late; There was no moat in Anle City, and the Xi army had never encountered the siege method of the Hexi army, and it only lasted for two days before it was blown up and a section of the city wall was lost, and the chief of the department Mo Hefu was killed in battle. With the fall of the ancient city, Shanggu completely fell into the hands of the Hexi army, and Guangyang City to the west of the Xi people was exposed to the eyes of the enemy.

The Turks and the Great Sui used their own territory as a battlefield, and the Xi people had already been wronged home, if they were wrong, it would be the end of the annihilation; This is the helplessness of the weak, the gods fight and the little ghosts suffer, no matter who wins or wins, the two giants pat their butts and leave in the end, but what should the Xi people do?

Tuli was about to faint, after Han Shige turned around and rushed through Hengshan County, Yanmen County was almost an undefended city, Pingcheng, Heng'an, Yinguan and other counties were occupied by the Hexi Army successively, and he was still unable to advance in front of Fangcheng. But the latter news made him completely dizzy, and the Xi people actually put forward a request for the Turks to withdraw their troops; The reason that the Xi people said is very simple, originally the Turks, the Xi people, and the Khitan could have 100,000 allied troops, but now the Khitan has fled north, and the Xi people have lost half of their territory, and this battle is no longer possible, and the Xi people have to negotiate with the Great Sui.

There are less than 20,000 Turks in the northeast, and there are tens of thousands of Turkic civilians in the northeast, if they lose their own troops, these people will become meat on the chopping block, and they don't need to do it with the Great Sui, the Khitan, Murwei and other tribes will loot them, and turn them into slaves regardless of gender, and I am afraid that they will not be able to find who did it afterwards. After discussing with the association, Tuli led the army to retreat and sent an envoy to Taiyuan to report the news.

Zhuo County got the news, it was the whole city to celebrate, the atmosphere of the Yue Wang camp was still grim, Xu Jingzong said in order to ease up: "Three days ago, I had ordered Yang Yanshi's reorganized Hubu battalion to rush to Hengshan County to assist Meng to defend the city and prevent the Turkic cavalry from breaking through Hengshan. ”

Zheng Cheng snorted and said: "Now it is the problem of the Xi people, the Xi people have not suffered a huge blow in Anle City and Yanle City, and there are only 20,000 dead and prisoners, and the people in the two cities are more Han and Xianbei people, about 30,000 people. Now the Xi Ahui Department is in Fangcheng, the Ao Lost Department is in Guangyang City, and the Yuan Qi Folding Department is in the weak water, and there are more than 100,000 people, Xu Shiji and Liu Heimin are already at the end of the strong crossbow. ”

Yang Chong drank a glass of chilled grape juice, dissipated the anger in his heart, and said: "Tell them that if they don't agree to negotiate peace, if it is not good, the Xi prisoners will be dealt with, and the Han and Xianbei people will still stay in the city and recruit new soldiers from them." See where Wang Bo and Murong Xixiong have been, and ask them to hurry up. ”
