For the first time since the start of the war, the Turkic army was in crisis. In the face of the four bread copies of the army of the Silk Country, the Tuqi army stopped troops in Youzhou City and Zhuozhou City on both sides of the Sanggan River.

Almost all of the troops of the Five Roads Silk Country received such information, and these five commanders each took corresponding actions - the military department Shangshu An Jingbian led the army to fight steadily and steadily, and successfully recovered Yizhou from Dingzhou to the north; Xue Boren approached eastward along the south bank of the Sanggan River until he reached the fork of the Sanggan River's tributaries, compressing the space of the Tukchi army on the south bank; On the north bank of the Sanggan River, Lu Qinghan was met with a fierce counterattack by the Turkic army in order to ensure that the friendly army could successfully cross northward, so he decided to avoid its edge, leaving only a small number of troops to hold the danger, and the main force turned to the northeast to compress the Turkic army's northward escape; Su Chengdong's cavalry team successfully recaptured Jizhou, and quickly advanced all the way to the city of Youzhou, and joined forces with Zhu Tianshun in Youzhou City to repel the besieging army that had no intention of fighting; The most striking is Zheng Menglong, who attacked from the water, although the number of soldiers on his ships was not large, and all of them were infantry, but after going ashore, they quickly launched their actions under the cover of warships, and repeatedly broke the troops sent by Abicialir to delay their movements, not only marched to the south of Youzhou City, lifted the siege of Zhuozhou City, but also broke Abicheril's broken rear troops to pieces, and had to retreat again and again.

The reason why Zheng Menglong was able to achieve such brilliant results actually relied on the strategy of one person, that is, Wu Sicheng, who escaped from the Tuqi army.

During the period of house arrest, Wu Sicheng not only overheard a large number of conversations with the Turks, but also obtained a lot of information. He also explored the way to communicate with the Turkic army, after he successfully rendezvoused with Zheng Menglong's army. He took advantage of this to constantly disrupt the Turkic army's liaison and turn Abicheril's forces upside down. You can't look at each other.

At this time, Wu Sicheng sat on Zheng Menglong's flagship steadily, drinking fine wine, and watching the scene of the army of the Silk Kingdom on the shore chasing the remnants of the Tuqi army. Behind him stood thirty-nine guards, several of whom had died in the run, and a Turk who looked at him with resentful eyes, Gingier. When escaping from the Tuqi camp, Wu Sicheng took him captive by the way.

"It's painful to watch your own people killed, isn't it?" Wu Sicheng turned around and asked Kinggil.

Ginger gritted his teeth and replied, "You can't kill the Turks!" One day, our Great Khan will lead his troops back and let you know how powerful the scimitar is! ”

Wu Sicheng shook his index finger: "I'm not making fun of you, Jinjir. Just two days ago. I have watched you Turks kill my people in the same way. I want to tell you how cruel war is, there are always countless unknown people who die tragically on the battlefield, and their lives only make a few generals famous. Therefore, ending the war as soon as possible is the most merciful move. Although your Great Khan started this war, there is no need for you to sacrifice your lives for the sake of the Great Khan's ambitions. ”

"Don't talk about it, killing and war are the destiny of our Tukhi people!" Kingill roared.

Wu Sicheng turned around, looked at Jinjier, and said word by word: "Jinjir." Do you remember when I said I wanted to make you a friend? I'm telling the truth. Listen, war and killing aren't the only things you Tukis should do, they're just artificially added. You follow me to Chang'an City to see how the people of the Silk Country live. You will know that there is not only one way of life in life, and you Tuqi people can also change. Your Great Khan shares the same view as me on this point, but I won't let him succeed in the way he does. ”

Seeing that Kingill's face changed. Wu Sicheng said: "You are a kind and simple person, I believe you will definitely see the road that leads Tuqi to prosperity." Then go and tell your Great Khan, your people. Without war and conquest, Turghe can get what they want. Isn't it good that your tribe doesn't have to struggle to survive between the East and the West, and you can still gallop and sing on the grassland, and you can be richer and stronger than before, isn't it? ”

Jin Jill lowered his head when he heard this, and Wu Sicheng could see that he was weighing it carefully, so he waited quietly. Sure enough, after a while, Ginger raised his head and said, "Good! I'll go to Chang'an with you to have a look! But I'm going to say it before, if you lie to me, I'll kill you with my own hands! ”

Wu Sicheng laughed: "No, I promise you that I won't lie to your friend." ”

As the fighting continued, the situation became more and more unfavorable for the Turks. Although it was stopped by Zheng Menglong's naval army, the Sanggan River was not particularly deep, and the more upstream areas were no longer navigable by warships with a deeper draft, so the Turkic army built temporary ferries in these areas, and the Turki army on the south bank gradually withdrew to the north bank under the cover of the Abicheril guards. But at this time, the army on the north bank began to retreat, and most of the troops on the south bank crossed the Sangan River, leaving almost only Abiciel's guards on the south bank, and this increasingly thin force made the army of the Silk Country concentrate their firepower on them, and Abicheril still commanded the battle at the front, completely ignoring the arrows fired by the infantry of the Silk Country that gradually gathered and flew past him.

"Send out a boat at once and cut off their ferry!" Zheng Menglong saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately gave an order. The battleship immediately lowered several small boats and pressed towards the ferry.

The Turks soon discovered the threat.

"Great Khan! Hurry up and cross the river! The guards shouted.

Abicheril rebuked angrily: "How can I escape before you have crossed the river!" ”

With that, Abicheril turned back into the enemy's line again, and the guards had to cry out bitterly and follow the Great Khan. The rest of the people also understood when they saw that the best way to get the Great Khan to withdraw to the north bank was to cross the river by himself, and no longer hesitate to cross the river one after another. However, by the time the Turkic army had all withdrawn to the north bank, Zheng Menglong's boat had successfully destroyed all the pontoons at the temporary ferry, and Abicheril, who had successfully escaped from the entanglement of the infantry, was faced with the dilemma of not being able to cross the river. At this time, the guards around him shouted to defend the Great Khan and jumped into the Sanggan River, although the Sanggan River here is not particularly deep, but it can also cover one person and one horse, but the guards of Tuqi still jumped into the river one after another like crazy, and they simply filled the Sanggan River with men and horses. Abicilir urged the hissing BMW under his crotch and stepped on the Sangan River from the human bridge built by the guards without touching his feet. Although the guards who remained on the south bank had horses, they could not be as powerful as the neighing wind, so they turned their horses and rushed to the pursuers of the Silk Country again, and finally all of them were killed.

Wu Sicheng, who was watching this scene from afar on the flagship, sighed and said: "Abicheril is really a hero, there are so many guards who sacrifice their lives to break a way for him!" Well, since I promised to let him go, let him go. ”

At this point, the first full-scale attack of the Tukchi army on the Silk Country came to an end. Although Lu Qinghan intercepted it, he had no choice but insufficient troops and time was pressing, this pocket could not be held at all, although he gave the Turkic army certain losses, but it could not prevent them from retreating. In this battle, the Turkic army lost more than 30,000 people, and the Youzhou area of the country of silk was poisoned by the Turkic army except for the two cities of Youzhou and Zhuozhou, and the loss of money and food was incalculable, and the army also produced more than 40,000 war dead, so it can be said that no one on either side took advantage. Two days later, the Five Routes army of the Silk Country was finally able to meet in Youzhou City. (To be continued......)
