Chapter 273 The Battle of Yanmen Pass (15)
"What?" "Impossible!" Hearing the sergeant's words, Eliver and Duxin couldn't help but exclaim, just now they were still saying that it was impossible for the reinforcements of the Sui army to arrive so quickly, but now the reinforcements have already arrived! In contrast, Shi Bi seemed much calmer, but his hands were clenched into fists with his back behind his back, proving Shi Bi's heart at the moment! The corners of Shi Bi's mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "Can you find out how many people are in this Sui army?" ”
Shi Bi's tone was very flat, but for some reason, the sergeant heard Shi Bi's words, but his heart was cold! However, for Shibi's question, the sergeant did not dare not answer, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Back to the Great Khan!" According to the scouts' visual measurements, that Sui army was no less than 20,000 people! ”
"Twenty thousand? Hum! Looks like our ally isn't doing his best! A cold light flashed in Shi Bi's eyes, but he pursed his lips, sneered, and snorted: "It's just 20,000 people!" Leave him alone! Starting tomorrow, go all out to attack Yanmen Pass! ”
There was a sneer on Shibi's face, but the two brothers, Eliversheth and Duxin, could see that Shibi was really angry! The last time they saw Shi Bi's expression, it was when Shi Shu Huxi was killed by the Han people! At that time, Shi Bi killed hundreds of people with his own hands, which slightly reduced his anger! Now seeing Shi Bi show this expression again, both of them couldn't help but shudder!
After receiving Shibi's order, the sergeant immediately withdrew from the king's tent and conveyed Shibi's order to the entire Turkic military camp. After a night's rest, and by the early morning of the next day, when the sun had just risen, the sound of the Turkic trumpets echoed in the sky above the Turkic military camp! Hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops began to gather in front of the Yanmen Pass, and after this time, they brought a total of 300,000 troops, but after these few days of fighting, they have lost nearly 20,000 people! But even so, in the face of the defenders of Yanmen Pass, the Turks still had an absolute advantage!
Wearing a golden battle armor, Shibi rode a tall horse and walked at the forefront of the military column! This set of golden armor is still left by Shibi's father, Qimin Khan, and it is rumored that it was given to Shibi by Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui! After passing it to Shibi, Shibi only wore it once, and that was worn during the final battle with Dulan Khan, and today Shibi wore this armor, which is enough to prove that he attaches great importance to this battle!
Looking at the Yanmen Pass in front of him, Shi Bi slowly put the helmet in his hand on his head, then raised his horsewhip, pointed forward, and shouted: "Warriors on the grassland! In front, is where the emperor of the Sui Dynasty is! Over the years, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty has bullied and fooled our steppe brothers! Deceive the blood and sweat of our steppe people! But I want to ask you, our warriors on the grassland are the bravest warriors in the world, why should they give his life to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty? Why are they, the weak Han Chinese, able to live in the southern flower world every day, while our warriors on the grassland have to suffer from hunger and cold on the grassland? Is this fair? ”
"It's not fair! It's not fair! All the Turkic soldiers shouted in unison, and 280,000 voices converged to almost shake the sky! Shi Bi has led the Turks for so many years, so naturally he can't just be a reckless man! He knew very well that the steppe peoples yearned for the rich and luxurious life in the south, as long as he mastered this and led the Turkic people's hatred of the Han people to the peak, he would naturally be able to arouse the greatest combat effectiveness of the Turkic soldiers!
Seeing that this first step had been successful, Shi Bi was secretly happy in his heart, but he shouted in a deep voice: "This is indeed unfair!" Therefore, we are now going to capture the Yanmen Pass in front of us! Catch the dog emperor of the Great Sui! Next! We can go south and take over the flowers and mountains of the Great Sui! Our warriors on the prairie are the strongest, so naturally we must enjoy the best! Warriors! Tell me! Do you want the best of life? ”
"Yes! Think! The Turkic soldiers were already staring at each other with red eyes, and their minds were already full of all kinds of gold and silver treasures, the white and tender Han family girls and delicate grain, all of which seemed to be piled up in the Yanmen Pass, waiting for them to get them!
"Good!" Shi Bi shouted, and the horsewhip in his hand waved hard! He shouted in a deep voice: "Then there is only one thing you have to do now, capture Yanmen Pass!" ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Under the stimulation of Shibi, all the Turkic soldiers were murderous, holding high the scimitars in their hands, just waiting for Shibi's order, ready to rush to Yanmen Pass! When he saw it, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he made a gesture to a pro-soldier behind him, and the pro-soldier picked up the horn on his waist, and he directly blew it up and launched an offensive horn!
With the sound of this horn, more than 200,000 Turkic soldiers roared and rushed towards Yanmen Pass! This time is completely different from the previous attacks, because this time it is a full-scale attack, and I believe that the pressure on the defenders of Yanmen Pass is more than several times that of the other party! Looking at the scene of the advance of the Turkic army, a smile finally appeared on Shi Bi's face, turned his head, and said to the two younger brothers behind him: "Okay! Let's go too! ”
"Big brother!" Before he could finish stepping forward, the youngest Duxin was a little hesitant and said, "Big brother! Then we really don't care about the reinforcements of the Sui army that arrived last night? What if they make a surprise attack from the rear? ”
"Afraid of what?" Before he could speak, Elivershi shouted with a nonchalant face, "Didn't the eldest brother say it all!" It's just 20,000 people, and we still have to worry that they won't succeed? If they dare to come over, we only need to turn one direction and we can beat them to the ground! ”
"Big brother!" Maybe it's because of his character, Du Xin really doesn't get along with his second brother, so he pretended not to hear Eliver's words at all, but continued to say to Shi Bi: "If it's just a simple competition of troops, we really don't have to care about the 20,000 Sui army!" But in the rear, there is still the food and grass that our hundreds of thousands of troops need! If something goes wrong with these grains and grass......"
Hearing this, Shi Bi couldn't help but be stunned, and even Elivershi, who was still clamoring there, closed his mouth! The grain and grass that Du Xin said is the grain and grass looted by the Turkic army along the way, and the 300,000 army sounds very powerful, but on the other hand, the daily consumption of grain and grass is also very amazing! The Turkic army has always pursued the principle of feeding the war with war, and it took nearly half a month to besiege a place like this, which can be said to be something that has never been done before! If it weren't for the fact that the Turkic army looted the grain and grass of several towns around Yanmen Pass with a thunderous force, I am afraid that the Turkic army would have been unable to support it a long time ago. www.biquge.info Therefore, these grains and grasses are the lifeblood of the Turkic army! If something happens, then these hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops are afraid that they will really fall into a crisis!
Shibi frowned, then nodded, and said to Du Xin: "That's easy!" I'll give you 30,000 soldiers and horses to hold the rear! With these 30,000 people, those Sui troops don't dare to act rashly! ”
"Yes! Eldest brother! Leave it to me! Du Xin shouted, directly ordered 30,000 people, and rushed towards the camp, while Shibi and Eliversheh took the rest of the Turkic army and continued to rush towards Yanmen Pass, and began the battle of attacking Yanmen Pass with all their might!
Obviously, the veteran who commanded the defenders of Yanmen Pass also knew that Shibi would attack Yanmen Pass with all his might today, so Laihu'er didn't play any tricks today, and before the Turkic army rushed to the wall of Yanmen Pass, the more than 20 artillery pieces began to throw out fire oil bombs in turn! The fire was raging in front of the Yanmen Pass, and the Turkic soldiers who were on fire screamed and rolled on the ground, and finally could only lie on the ground weakly, turning into a pile of coke! And the flame is also the natural enemy of the animal, the war horse that the Turkic soldiers sat on when they saw the raging flames, they also showed a state of hesitation, and more than 200,000 troops were blocked by the flames in front of the Yanmen Pass!
Seeing this, Shibi's eyes narrowed, and he decisively gave an order: "Dismount!" Rush over on foot! "Shibi can be regarded as thinking thoroughly, this attack on Yanmen Pass, the role of the cavalry can no longer be played, it is better to drop the war horse and rush over on foot!
Immediately after hearing the order, hundreds of Turks jumped down from their horses, carrying short bows and arrow boxes, and scimitars in their hands, and rushed into the fire! And the rest of the Turks only hesitated slightly, and they also dismounted and fought! This is not to say that there is a problem with their loyalty to Shibi, but that the Turks have grown up with horses, and they are used to rushing and killing with war horses on the battlefield, and now they want to give up their war horses, they will naturally be a little hesitant. However, Shibi's status in the minds of the Turks was too high, so these Turks only hesitated for a moment, and still acted according to Shibi's orders!
When the Turkic soldiers dismounted and sprinted towards the Yanmen Pass, which was surrounded by fire, although many people died in the fire, the vast majority of the Turkic soldiers rushed in from the flames. rushed to the city wall of Yanmen Pass, relied on the short bow in his hand, and began to counterattack the defenders of Yanmen Pass!
The fire oil bombs are still shooting at the outside of the gate, and the archers on the gate are also pouring arrows down the city! At the same time, hundreds of ropes as thick as wrists were once again embedded in the city wall, and the Turkic soldiers, under the cover of their companion short arrows, faced countless arrows and still climbed up! For a while, the entire city wall of Yanmen Pass was covered with dense people, and even the shadow of the city wall could not be seen, all of them were covered by human figures!
Obviously, the fierce offensive of the Turks also frightened the defenders on the Yanmen Pass, and Shibi could even vaguely see that there was a trace of panic in the defenders on the Yanmen Pass! The corners of Shi Bi's mouth curled, but he shouted: "Keep attacking!" I'm going to make those Sui soldiers breathless! ”
