It is not surprising that Emperor Yang of Sui didn't know who Li Jing was, because Han Baohu had been dead for many years, so how many people would remember his nephew?

However, soon, Li Jing's name will become famous all over the world and become a generation of famous generals!

At this time, at the foot of the Great Wall, the 300,000 troops of the Turks marched to the south. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike the army of the Han people in the Central Plains, the Turks do not farm, and they cannot farm on the grassland, otherwise it will be easy to weather, so their grain is these cattle, sheep and livestock, and the Han people are often followed by several times the number of logistics troops after the war, such as the people transport the grain, grass and weapons to the place not far from the battlefield, and then escorted by armed soldiers to the barracks, and here the Turks, they rely on cattle and sheep to maintain, so often when they go south to fight, the Turks will consciously migrate their main tribe to the south, In this way, when they set out on the expedition, they will be able to bring enough cattle and sheep from the tribe nearby, eat all the way, and bring back more after the battle.

Therefore, the ranks of the 300,000 Turkic army were followed by hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, most of which were sheep, and a small number of cattle could not only be eaten, but also used to carry weight.

Shibi Khan was very disappointed that Shi Bobi failed to complete the task he had given him, his army was 100,000 people, although the Sui army was stationed in Yincheng 50,000 people, and later came 20,000 reinforcements, but this was not the reason for his failure, 100,000 people not only suffered heavy losses, but also spread the bad news of defeat throughout the army, and also raised the confidence of the Sui army a lot.

Shibi Khan was full of confidence when he went out on the expedition, but at this time he was not as confident as before, the Sui army won more with less, especially the combat effectiveness of their cavalry far exceeded his imagination, according to the description of the soldiers who fled back, the Sui army seemed to be equipped with a new style of bow and crossbow, which can be used for continuous fire on horseback, which means that they have a strong fighting ability, Shibi Khan has always been very envious of the advanced technology of the Han people, especially in the technology of manufacturing weapons, such as compound bows, hand crossbows, rhubarb crossbows and bed crossbows, Even trebuchets and other weapons are not available in these steppes, and the cavalry of the steppes are not good at using these weapons.

However, if his cavalry can be equipped with such crossbow arrows, even if it is a compound bow, then the power of the Turkic cavalry will be greatly increased by a notch.

But now he is already riding a tiger is difficult, he sent an envoy to contact Pei Ju, Pei Ju is his old acquaintance, they know each other well, he directly stated what he wants, that is, Turkic autonomy, no longer obey the orders of the Sui Dynasty, let alone to the Sui Dynasty emperor vassal, and he asked the Sui Dynasty to open the border cities, as a trading place between the two sides, not to restrict the supply of pig iron and some other grassland necessary materials, but also not to restrict the circulation of people on both sides.

Pei Ju is scheming, of course he understands what he wants to fight, he wants to get the grassland to continue the pig iron intention to build weapons, and at this time the Central Plains is breaking out of civil war, wolf smoke everywhere, if the border is opened, I am afraid that a large number of people will flee to the grassland without war, these people will definitely bring more advanced technology to the Turks in the past, so that the Turks can take advantage of the opportunity of the civil strife in the Central Plains to further develop and grow, and the weapons can also be greatly improved, even if the civil strife in the Central Plains is over, I'm afraid that the imperial court will not be able to solve this strong enemy in the north.

Therefore, Pei Ju directly rejected these requests of Shibi Khan, and ordered him to withdraw his troops immediately.

The strong leader of the Sui army, Bi Khan, was faintly worried, but he couldn't just return to the grassland empty-handed, which would not only damage his prestige, but also miss a great opportunity.

Eventually, he decided to join forces and go south, and since the Sui people did not want peace, he decided to grant them war, as they wished.

The 300,000 troops of the Turks came to the city, and the Sui army was also waiting for the battle, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out.

Shibi Khan saw that the Sui army abandoned the city and did not defend it, but they had to fight a decisive battle with themselves outside the city, although they built a large camp, but the Sui army was arrayed outside the city, and it seemed that they were going to put on a posture to fight with themselves, which is interesting.

Shibi Khan learned the lesson of the last Shibo Ran, he let the general Ashina Zhongyun lead 50,000 cavalry to protect the left flank, let Gurdu Shike lead 50,000 troops, cover the right flank, gather 100,000 troops in the middle, smash the Yellow Dragon, and ambush 100,000 people in the back, responsible for impacting the Sui army's defense line after the army and the Sui army collided together, the cavalry on both wings outflanked and drove the Sui army to the middle, so that it would be difficult for the Sui army's 100,000 people to find space to fight, they were quite numerous, but the cavalry was not much, Therefore, in terms of mobility, it is not at all comparable to the Turkic army.

Shibi Khan's tactics can be said to be the tactics that the steppe cavalry has always used, but later, the Mongols made a slight change to the Chinese army to attack on two wings, so that the enemy army will definitely send two wings of the army, and then the gap between them will come out, and the Chinese army that has lost the protection of the cavalry will often collapse under the attack of the Mongol cavalry, and the defeat is very fast.

Pei Ju is a civilian official, although he has also commanded some battles, but such a scale of four or five hundred thousand people, he knows that he can't control it, so he handed over the command of the operation to Qu Tutong, Qu Tutong is known for his good defense, in history when he was extremely short of troops, and his soldiers were unstable, he was stunned that the Tang army held on to Hedong under several sieges, so that Li Yuan could only give up Hedong and go Hexi into Guanzhong.

And this time, the formation that Qu Tutong came out of was very ordinary, even a little mediocre.

He gathered the Sui army tightly, 30,000 cavalry all placed on the left flank, handed over to Li Jing to command, this force did not participate in the defense, their task was to attack, so he arranged another 20,000 crossbowmen and 10,000 shield soldiers on the left flank, the right wing was concocted as the law, still 20,000 crossbowmen and 10,000 shield soldiers, in addition, he arranged 20,000 spearmen in the Chinese army, and hundreds of bed crossbows and the latest weapons were placed behind the spearmen.

In the middle of the Sui army's formation, there were 30,000 infantry, and Qu Tutong built a high platform in the middle of the infantry, placed war drums and standard-bearers on it, and dispatched the whole army.
