The Da Xi Shun phalanx, which was at the forefront, was martyred under the iron hooves of the Turks, which did not frighten off the Sui soldiers in the other phalanxes, but aroused the fighting spirit of the Sui soldiers to be more vigorous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the chief general of the whole army, Da Xi Changru held a spear in his hand, rushed to the front of the phalanx, picked off a rushing Turkic cavalry from his horse, and immediately turned over and stepped onto the opponent's war horse, pointed the spear in his hand forward, and loudly encouraged the three armies: "Brothers, follow me into the woods west of the town, and the Turkic cavalry will have no choice but to rush us, rush!" ”

After speaking, he slapped his horse and danced his spear, took the lead, and rushed forward against the Turkic cavalry.

The main general took the lead, forgetting life and death, and the soldiers of the Sui army all enthusiastically competed for the first, struggling forward, closely following the Daxi Changru horse and rushing towards the woods west of the town.

One husband is dead, and ten thousand people are not to be killed. What's more, under the leadership of Daxi Changru, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Sui army were determined to die, and fought with the oncoming Turkic cavalry.

Rao is Turkic iron cavalry is fierce and fierce, and he was also suppressed by this red-eyed Sui Dynasty army, and even many Turkic cavalry actually turned their horses' heads and fled in fright.

By the time the Turkic prince Ran Gan, who had served as the vanguard of Sha Boluo's large-scale southern invasion, arrived in Zhoupan, Daxi Changru had already led more than 1,000 Sui troops into the woods west of the town.

Dye Gan accompanied his uncle to the west this time, and in the eyes of others, it was quite a sign of being taken hostage by the photo. But not only did he think so, but he was proud to be able to follow his uncle's photograph and take the initiative to take the lead in person, and volunteered to take on the pioneer responsibility.

When Dye Gan led twenty or thirty personal soldiers to the woods west of Zhoupan Town, it was almost time. Under the bright light outside the forest, Dye Kan looked into the woods, but saw that it was dark in the depths of the woods, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the Sui army in the woods?" Along the way, I could see the Turkic soldiers who were killed by the Sui army from time to time, and I thought that the army had marched to Zhoupan and had a face-to-face with the main force of the Sui army, so I asked.

"Prince, the Sui army trapped in the woods in front of you is about two or three thousand people." A general of the Turkic army immediately replied.

"What? There were only two or three thousand of them! When Dye Gan heard the news, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he yelled at the general, "You have 30,000 cavalry under your command, but you can't completely annihilate this small Sui army, and let them flee into the woods to hide, are you guilty?" ”

This general of the unified army was a close clansman who took the picture, and he knew the details of Dye Gan, and was reprimanded mercilessly by Dye Gan, and he did not panic, but only pointed to the direction of the woods to argue for himself: "The prince was angry, and the last general thought that this Sui army would break through to the south and return to Honghua City, fifty miles away, but when they fought with them in the town to the half-hearted, they suddenly broke into pieces, turned around and went west, and got into this forest. I have ordered people to surround this forest, and only wait for tomorrow dawn to wipe out the Sui Dynasty army in the forest in one fell swoop. ”

"Tomorrow dawn? I'm afraid that by then, the Sui army in Honghua City has poured out of the nest and rushed to reinforcements, right? Now give orders to go down and burn the woods, and force them to come out. "Dye Gan was young and vigorous, and relying on his status as a prince, he didn't take the gray-haired general in front of him in his eyes at all, and immediately issued a military order to burn the woods.

Hundreds of torches were thrown into the woods, and in an instant, a raging fire broke out in the woods.

Da Xi Changru fought to the death and led the soldiers to fight a bloody road, rushed to the woods, just got a moment of respite, but saw the fire in the forest, secretly screamed that it was not good, and immediately ordered the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers under his command to form a zigzag of three phalanxes, and rushed out all the way to the west.

The total number of men and horses in this vanguard under the command of Dye Gan was about 30,000, and there were nearly 10,000 people who set up a siege on the west side of the woods alone. When Daxi Changru led three Sui army arrays to rush out of the woods, they were immediately surrounded by 10,000 Turkic troops.

"Stay in place and keep the enemy out of the phalanx." Fearing that the three phalanxes would be scattered by the Turkic cavalry during the march and lose contact with each other, Daxi Changru hurriedly ordered the whole army to stop outside the woods, wanting to fight to the death with the Turks.

An offensive and defensive battle that was even more tragic than the day began outside the woods.

The three Sui army formations were arranged in a zigzag pattern on the open space outside the woods, keeping a distance between each other within twenty or thirty meters, and the Sui soldiers who formed the phalanx rushed out in unison, forming a tight defensive formation, forcing the Turkic cavalry to abandon their horses and join the war group, and for a time they could face ten times the enemy army attacking in turn, but they could also deal with it freely and be invincible.

However, when the two armies held each other until the second half of the night, the Sui army was finally outnumbered, and gradually showed fatigue under the attack of the Turkic soldiers more than a dozen times, and on several occasions, in addition to the phalanx commanded by Daxi Changru himself, the other two phalanxes were almost broken by the steady stream of Turkic soldiers, and after more than a dozen rounds, the casualties of the Sui soldiers in the two phalanxes were also close to half.

If this situation continues, before dawn the next day, two of the three phalanxes will be broken by the Turks, and they will face the fate of total annihilation.

At this critical juncture, Da Xi Changru raised his eyes and saw Dye Gan, who was in front of the battle to supervise the battle, surrounded by hundreds of Turkic soldiers, stationed on a high slope to watch the battle.

Capture the thief and capture the king first. Da Xi Changru was overjoyed, and immediately issued a military order loudly: "The whole army is moving closer to me, forming a phalanx, and rushing with me." ”

The three Sui army formations received the order of the main general, quickly gathered in one place, formed a phalanx, and pounced straight on the dye dry on the high slope under the leadership of Da Xi Changru.

The Turkic army immediately sensed the intention of the Sui army, and gathered from all directions, blocking the way of the Sui army.

"Wait for the rats, and those who stand in my way will die." Da Xi Changru was anxious for a quick victory, roared, waved the spear in his hand, and rushed out of the phalanx one by one, jumping into the enemy formation.

The main general was still like this, and the soldiers of the Sui army all fought bravely to be the first, and followed Daxi Changru into the Turkic array.

In the Turkic array, someone had already recognized Da Xi Changru as the main general of this Sui army, and shouted, and then hundreds of people surrounded Da Xi Changru in the center.

Da Xi Changru had no fear on his face, picked up the spear in his hand, stabbed right and right, blocked up and down, and fought against a hundred people with the strength of one person, not only did he lose the slightest advantage, but forced the Turks to retreat again and again, and gradually approached the high slope where Dye Gan was.

It was the first time since he was born in his mother's womb that he had witnessed such a fierce fighting scene, sitting on horseback, staring at Daxi Changru, who was like a god in the crowd, and completely forgot to dodge on horseback.

Daxi Changru forced the Turkic soldiers to retreat to the bottom of the high slope, and with a sudden shout, he jumped up high, and actually stepped on the shoulders of the enemy and flew by, and swooped like a big bird on the dye dry on the high slope of the horse.
