Under the personal leadership of Yong Yulu, thousands of Turkic iron horsemen rushed towards Li Che's location with shouts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The soldiers of the Great Sui listened to the order, took the Daxu behind me as the center of the formation, and formed a phalanx on the spot to meet the enemy!" Li Che saw that the thousands of iron cavalry led by Yong Yulu broke through the two defense lines of the Sui army one after another in an instant, rushed to a place less than a hundred steps away from him, and issued his second general order in a hurry.

After more than two years of day and night drills, tens of thousands of Sui soldiers have long been familiar with the tactics of the opposing formation, and when they heard the order to form a formation on the spot to respond to the battle, they immediately formed a huge phalanx composed of tens of thousands of people within a radius of almost two miles around Li Che, separating the thousands of iron cavalry led by Yongyu Lu from the Turkic brigade.

Li Che couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the success of the formation, slapped his horse and danced his sword, led 10,000 Sui troops, and killed Yongyu Lu's subordinates who had been surrounded in the phalanx, wanting to take advantage of their unstable foothold to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Yongyu Lu was anxious to kill the Sui army outside the city of Bingzhou, and complete the encirclement of the city as soon as possible, so he took the lead and led thousands of iron horsemen to the location of the Sui army, until he found that tens of thousands of people of the Sui army had formed a huge phalanx, and surrounded the thousands of men and horses led by himself.

Li Che and Yong Yulu collided head-on, and the two did not say anything, the blades in their hands intersected, and they fought in one place. The two horses were coiled, and the square battle reached more than a dozen rounds, Li Che felt that the opponent was strong and heavy, and if he continued to fight, he was by no means his opponent, and was about to pull out the horse's head, jump outside the circle, and ordered all the soldiers to form a formation in the formation, and trapped the Yongyu Lu troops in the formation, only then did he realize that the 10,000 Sui troops he brought out of the city could not parry the Lingli offensive of thousands of Turkic iron cavalry, and had been killed by the Turkic iron cavalry to lose their formation and collapse.

At this time, the tens of thousands of Sui troops who retreated from the defeat of Yanmen Pass under the command of Li Che had formed a huge phalanx, realizing the division and encirclement of the Turkic pioneers, but the thousands of iron cavalry trapped in the phalanx were not afraid of the Sui army's heavy encirclement, and rushed left and right under the personal command of Yongyu Lu, like a sharp knife inserted into the Sui army's array, which disturbed the Sui army's array for a moment.

At the same time, the Turkic brigade that was blocked out of the Sui army's formation found that the main party was trapped in the enemy formation, and desperately launched a fierce attack on the Sui army's formation, wanting to disrupt the Sui army's position and rescue Yongyu Lu's troops from the predicament.

Outside the city of Bingzhou, there were as many as 100,000 troops on both sides of the Sui army and the Turks. From the evening of the same day until noon of the next day, the Sui army's array was broken by the Turkic army several times, and they all stubbornly drove out the Turks who had entered the formation. In the face of the rampage of thousands of Turkic iron cavalry led by Yongyu Lu, Li Che was unable to annihilate him except to lead his army to retreat to Daxu to defend it.

Fortunately, soon after the Sui army formed a phalanx, Zhang Wei, Wang Shao, Li Xiong and others rushed to the Sui army's Daxu to meet Li Che, and assisted Li Che to stabilize the situation in the formation, so that Yongyu Lu's troops could not rush to the front of Daxu, so that the enemy and us were temporarily tied.

Yongyu Lu led thousands of Turkic iron cavalry to rush and kill in the Sui army formation for a long time, although the Sui army was killed innumerable, but it was difficult to rush to the Sui army's approach, until the next day, Fang was forced to lead the army to choose to break through in the direction of due north, and withdrew from the Sui army's phalanx under the response of the large group of men and horses outside the formation, and then ordered the whole army to camp outside the city of Bingzhou, and the Sui army started a confrontation.

On the side of the Sui army, Li Che was demoralized because of the new defeat of the party, and it was not easy to reluctantly block the Turkic army outside the city of Bingzhou.

In the battle of Yanmen Pass, the casualties of the Sui army were almost five times the number of Turkic casualties, which can be called a complete defeat. On the road from Yanmen Pass to Bingzhou City, you can see the bones of the soldiers of the Sui army everywhere, and the scene is unbearable.

In the evening of the next day, Zhao Cai, the head of the Sui scout battalion who had been ordered to go out to investigate the military situation, rushed to the Sui army camp in the east of Bingzhou City, and reported to Yang Guang in person the deployment of the Turks' troops in the south.

According to the scouts of the Sui army, Sha Boluo blatantly broke the treaty and invaded the south this time, and used almost all the soldiers and horses under his command, sending a total of 300,000 troops, and the troops were divided into three routes: he himself led 100,000 horses and horses, stationed in Baidaozhou to receive them; The 100,000 troops on the West Road were commanded by Yongyu Lu, attempting to capture Yanmen Pass and surround Bingzhou from the north; The 100,000 troops on the east road were commanded by Kuhezhen, and Dye Gan acted as the vanguard, choosing to break through the Great Wall from the sand city, capture Dingzhou, and surround the state from the east.

Earlier in the day, Yang Guang received a military report from Li Che and others from the north of the city, and learned that Yanmen Pass had been defeated and that the Turkic army on the West Road had attacked outside the city of Bingzhou.

"Lord Wang, now that the Turkic East Road army has been killed and retreated by our army, should we quickly send reinforcements to the north of the city and force back the Turkic West Road army to solve the urgent need?" Seeing that Yang Guang wanted to do and stopped, Du Yan, the head of the march, couldn't help but remind him.

"Sha Boluo sent the east and west armies, to outflank and besiege my state, now Yanmen Pass has fallen, the Turkic West Road army is forced to the city of Bingzhou, at this time divide the troops to reinforce the North Road, if the Turkic East Road army goes and returns, and attacks again, how to deal with it?" Yang Guang stared at the map in front of him with burning eyes, and asked rhetorically without raising his head.

Zhou Shao, the head of the marching army standing on the side, followed Yang Guang's gaze, but saw that he was staring intently at the location of Dingzhou on the map, his mind turned, and he said: "There are two Xingtai servants in the north of the city and Qi Angong led the men and horses to confront the Turks, and within a few days, I expect that the Turkic army will not enter the siege to the city of Bingzhou, and the people who are worried about it today are actually still on the east road, but according to the scouts, the Turkic East Road army also has 100,000 horses, and our army has only half of the soldiers and horses on the east road. It may not be easy to completely force its attempt to outflank and annex the state! ”
