(From today onwards, the daily update time will be adjusted to 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., asking for subscriptions, asking for monthly passes) Yang Shuang was forced by the pressure of more than 100,000 Turkic main forces to return from the northwest, so he had to give up the combat intention of leading the army to capture Dujin Mountain, and led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Route Army to withdraw to Wuyuan City, and the 40,000 soldiers and horses led by Du Yan, the head of the march, would unite and defend Wuyuan City to resist the flanking attack of the Turkic armies from the north and south.

As far as the situation faced by Yang Shuang's army in Wuyuan City is concerned, there are nearly 100,000 reinforcements from the commander of Anluo on the south road, while north of Wuyuan City, there are only more than 10,000 remnants of troops led by Luo Yu and Yongyu Lu. However, Yang Shuang also understood that if he avoided the strong and attacked the weak and concentrated the strength of the whole army to attack the north, he would only get farther and farther away from Yanmen Pass, and the existing more than 60,000 soldiers and horses under his command would eventually become a lone army that had lost its foundation, and it would be difficult to get rid of the fate of the annihilation of the whole army. Therefore, for Yang Shuang, there is only one choice at the moment, that is, regardless of the cost, he must break through the encirclement of the Turkic army on the southern road and try to lead the army to withdraw to Yanmen Pass.

Based on this only option, after Yang Shuang led his army to rendezvous with Du Yan's troops in Wuyuan City, he immediately personally put on his armor and led his men and horses to attack the Turkic reinforcements under the command of Anluo and Rangan.

The battle was extremely fierce. The Sui army was good at fighting in a phalanx with an infantry army, but the phalanx was strong in defense and weak in attack, and it was difficult to break through the layers of encirclement of tens of thousands of Turkic reinforcements head-on. After Yang Shuang led the army to break through unsuccessfully, he was still unwilling, concentrated the few cavalry teams of the whole army, cooperated with rockets and strong crossbows, attacked one point, and launched a strong attack again against the relatively weak infantry and cavalry connection of the flank Turkic forces.

Three thousand crossbowmen in groups of fifty took turns firing rockets and crossbows into the opposing camp, suppressing the opponent's firepower, and the cavalry troops followed by jumped horses and swung their swords, rushing straight towards the enemy formation, and in an instant they tore a hole in the enemy camp. Under the fierce attack of the Sui army, the Turkic army trampled on each other by the cavalry and infantry troops, and the landing was in chaos.

However, this advantage could not be maintained for too long, when the Turks realized that the Sui cavalry that was the first to rush into the camp was only two or three thousand cavalry, they immediately surrounded and divided the Sui cavalry with several times the Sui army's cavalry, and at the same time, in response to the Sui army's crossbowmen launched an attack on the crossbowmen, the Turkic iron cavalry gave full play to their advantage that all men and horses were wearing armor, and launched a surprise attack on the Sui army's crossbowmen camp.

In less than half a day, the only cavalry unit of Yang Shuang's army completely disappeared under the heavy encirclement of the Turkic iron cavalry...... Once the Turkic iron cavalry rushed to a distance of twenty paces in front of him, the camp composed of 3,000 crossbowmen of the Sui army also began to lose the power of its long-range attack, and became overwhelmed under the strong impact of the Turkic iron cavalry, and it was difficult to fight.

Yang Shuang commanded his soldiers and horses, and successively launched a seven-day round attack on the Turkic reinforcements on the southern road, but he never broke through the encirclement of the other party, but lost nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. Seeing that with the strength of his own army, there was no hope of breaking through the encirclement of the South Road, Yang Shuang had no choice but to change his attack to defense, and ordered the sergeants to retreat to the south gate of Wuyuan City and wait for reinforcements.

Unfortunately, due to the proximity of Wuyuan City to Dujin Mountain, the Turks originally had a large amount of grain and grass in the city, which was enough for Yang Shuang's army for two or three months, which helped Yang Shuang temporarily stabilize the morale of the army.

Since the lone army could not break through, Yang Shuang ordered to dig deep trenches and spread trenches inside and outside Wuyuan City, making full preparations for holding on to the Turks for a long time, and on the other hand, he sent scouts to go out of the city in disguise to ask for help from Yang Guang, who stayed in the state.

However, more than a dozen scouts were sent one after another, but they never returned, and since they left Wuyuan City, there has been no news of them.

At the same time, the Turkic reinforcements began to launch a fierce attack on the Sui army defending Wuyuan City, and the enemy and our armies launched a tug-of-war outside the south gate of Wuyuan City. After Du Yan led the army back to Wuyuan City, the Sui army camp outside the south gate was repeatedly captured by the Turkic vanguard troops led by Dye Gan, and was recaptured by the Sui army in the city. After attacking and defending for more than ten days, the corpses of the sergeants who died outside the south gate of Wuyuan City were also moved as a cover to block the opponent's attack, and they were piled up into a long wall of corpses......

Shortly before the dye gan, he served as the vanguard commander of the main army of Sha Boluo, and surrounded the Sui general Da Xi Changru in Zhoupan with tens of thousands of people, but almost died under the spear of Da Xi Changru, causing him to be overly frightened, and hurriedly led people to retreat, and now with an absolute superiority of troops, repeatedly attacked the south gate of Wuyuan, he couldn't help but arouse his full of anger, and personally selected two thousand elite heavy cavalry troops from his command, ready to be led by himself the next day, breaking through the south gate of Wuyuan in one fell swoop, and entering the city of Wuyuan.

However, the night before Dye Gan was preparing for a desperate battle with the Sui army, his cousin, the Second Khan Anluo, received a report from his father that he had secretly communicated with the Sui Dynasty, and sent his own guards to the Dye Gan tent to relieve him of military power, and passed down a military order to suspend the attack on Wuyuan City.

On the pretext of ensuring that Dujin Mountain was safe, Anluo sent a large army to bypass Wuyuan City and rendezvous with Yongyu Lu's department, and even coaxed and persuaded Zhu Luo to leave the military camp and put him under house arrest in Dujin Mountain. In this way, the Turkic deployment of troops in the north and south of Wuyuan City has undergone a significant change, and in nearly a month, the troops deployed on the south road have been sharply reduced from the previous nearly 100,000 to 40,000, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the Sui army in Wuyuan City to break through the siege and withdraw to Yanmen Pass in the south.

The matter did not stop there, not long after Anluo increased his troops on the North Road and relieved the military power of Luo Yu's father and son, Hezhen, a Turkic special service cave stationed in Baidaozhou, received a report from the sergeants who fled from Yunzhou to Baidaozhou: Sui general Yuwenxin had led his army to launch a counterattack against the Turks and captured Yunzhou City in one fell swoop.

Gu Hezhen naturally knew what the fall of Yunzhou City meant to Sha Bo Luo Khan, who led the army to the west, so after receiving the report, Gu Hezhen immediately rushed to the big tent of Anluo in person non-stop to discuss with Anluo about sending troops to recover Yunzhou and restore the east-west road.

However, when Guhe Zhencai and An Luo agreed that he would personally lead 30,000 iron cavalry to the west, strive to recapture Yunzhou City from the Sui army as soon as possible, and send people to persuade the Great Khan to withdraw all his troops and horses from the western front as soon as possible, another shocking news came from Baidaozhou: Yang Guang, the Jin king of the Sui Dynasty stationed in Bingzhou, took Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, and Li Che, the Duke of Qi'an, as generals, and commanded an army of 40,000 to attack Baidaozhou.
