Zhang Xuan deployed 100,000 troops north of Loufu Pass, among which Captain Chi Gong led 30,000 troops to defend Shanyang County, and Li Jing led 70,000 troops to garrison Yanmen County. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Three days earlier, the 20,000 army led by Luo Cheng had arrived in Shanyang County, and joined Wei Chigong's army, and the day after Wei Wentong captured Lou Fu Pass, he immediately sent an eagle letter to Shanyang County, asking for Wei Chigong's support.

Wei Chigong and Luo Chengcheng led an army of 30,000 to the south of Lou Fu Pass before dawn, Lou Fu Pass is not far from Shanyang County, the straight-line distance is only 80 miles, but if you take the official road, it is a little farther, about 100 miles.

At noon, 30,000 Sui troops arrived at Dongguan Town, which was only thirty miles away from the Turkic army camp, at this time, several cavalry scouts rushed from the south, and the first brigade commander came to Wei Chi Gong, clasped his fists and saluted: "General Qi Yu Chi, there has been a fierce battle in Lou Fu Pass, and the Turkic army is attacking the city on a large scale, investing tens of thousands of troops, and the battle is very tragic. ”

"How many people are there in the Turkic camp?"

"About 10,000 people."

Wei Chigong said with a smile: "Kang Sheli is obviously a little out of breath, the 60,000 army actually invested 50,000 people to attack the city, and completely forgot to defend Yangma City, only 10,000 people are stationed, can you hold it?" ”

Although Luo Cheng was named the Tiger Benlang General, his military rank was still lower than that of Wei Chi Gong, so Luo Cheng behaved relatively low-key, he smiled and said: "Kang Sheli may think that we will not come immediately, for him, it only takes one day to recapture Lou Fu Pass, and then turn back to deal with us." ”

"General Luo has a point, but Lou Fuguan is under too much pressure, we must immediately seize Yangma City and help General Wei."

"I have an idea."

Luo Cheng whispered a few words to Wei Chigong, and Wei Chigong nodded again and again, "This is a good strategy to save time, let's do it!" ”

The two immediately divided into two routes, Wei Chigong led 20,000 infantry to attack Yangma City, while Luo Cheng led 10,000 cavalry to the west of the Turkic army camp.

The army left behind in the Turkic camp was all composed of soldiers from the Turkic tribes, and it was impossible for Kang Sheli to let the Tiele people come to guard the city of sheep and horses, and the main general of this army was Gao Kaidao, but although Gao Kaidao was nominally a commander of ten thousand commanders, he could not serve the people, and the 10,000 army was actually in the hands of ten thousand commanders.

Gao Kaidao was patrolling in Yangma City, when a cavalry galloped over and reported nervously: "General, there is news from the patrol that a Sui army of 20,000 people is coming from the north to Yangma City!" ”

Gao Kaidao was taken aback, he immediately realized that this was the Sui army from Shanyang County, and when the Turkic army was going to storm Lou Fu Pass, he came to attack Yangma City.

"Order all armies to prepare for battle!"

Gao Kaidao immediately issued an order to meet the battle, and 10,000 Turkic troops mounted their horses one after another and assembled outside Yangma City.

The Turkic camp is located on the south bank of the Huangshui River, a tributary of the Sanggan River, the Turkic camp is in the west, and the Yangma City is in the east, it is deployed in a narrow and long shape, stretching for more than 20 miles, of which the military camp and the Yangma City each account for half, the Yangma City on the bank of the Huangshui River and the Yangma City of the Purple River are the same, it is also made of civil and engineering ramming, about six feet high, and millions of cattle and sheep are raised in it, which is the logistics support for the Turkic army to go south, and Lou Fuguan, which is the strategic resource that Kang Sheali wants to protect at all costs.

At this time, 10,000 Turkic cavalry could not take care of the battalion, they quickly assembled on the opposite bank of Yangma City, lined up in a long formation, Gao Kaidao still had a little confidence, the other side only had 20,000 infantry, and although they only had 10,000 people, but all of them were cavalry with strong combat effectiveness, and they were at least sixty percent sure of defeating the other side in this battle.

The 20,000 Sui troops also stopped two miles away and began to line up rapidly, with 5,000 crossbowmen in the front row and 15,000 spearmen in the back, both waiting for the order to attack.

But just then, suddenly someone pointed to the west and shouted, "Fire! The camp caught fire. ”

The cavalry turned around, only to see that the direction of the camp was full of flames, thick smoke was billowing into the sky, and flames were rising into the air, which was rapidly spreading in the direction of Yangma City.

The sudden change made the Turkic cavalry panic for a while, and the team was a little confused, Gao Kaidao shouted: "Don't panic, the military camp is an empty camp, we must keep the sheep and horse city!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden chaos behind the team, screams were everywhere, Gao Kaidao was taken aback, looked back, and saw countless Sui cavalry on the north wall of Yangma City, they had broken through Yangcheng City, rushed out from dozens of openings, while galloping, while firing arrows, the Turkic cavalry in the back row suffered heavy casualties.

The Turkic cavalry was terrified and retreated, and at this moment, the drums in the Sui camp two miles away were loud, and 20,000 Sui soldiers shouted in unison, covering the Turkic cavalry.

The 10,000 Turkic cavalry suffered from the enemy, the army was in turmoil, the ranks were in disarray, and the morale of the army was rapidly fading.

Gao Kaidao was so anxious that he shouted, but no one paid attention to him, Gao Kaidao was helpless, so he had to lead dozens of his own soldiers to flee to the east, and just ran out of less than a hundred steps, a Sui cavalry killed from the oblique spur, blocking their way.

The leader is a young general of the Sui army, only to see his brocade robe, silver helmet, brass armor, white horse, silver gun, jade face, it is the general Luo Cheng.

Of course Gao Kaidao knew Luo Cheng, he had taken refuge in Luo Yi, stayed in Zhuojun for more than a year, and had dealt with Luo Cheng countless times, but he didn't expect to meet Luo Cheng here, Gao Kaidao was stunned all of a sudden.

Luo Cheng also captured the thief and captured the king first, he had already seen the banner of the Turkic army, so he locked this army, but he didn't expect that the Turkic general on the opposite side turned out to be Gao Kaidao, Luo Cheng sneered for a while: "I thought General Gao died a long time ago, but I didn't expect the ghost to go away, and he actually mixed with the Turks, and it seems that it is also a providence to meet me today!" ”

Gao Kaidao knew that Luo Cheng was powerful, and hurriedly begged: "Yulang, for the sake of my loyalty to Ling Zun in the past, let me go this time!" ”

"Phew!"

Luo Cheng spat coldly, "The scum who betrayed the nation, dare to get close to me, if I were you, I would have been killed by a headlong run, so as not to insult my ancestors." ”

Gao Kaidao was furious, "Little beast, suffer death!" ”

He waved the three-pointed two-edged knife, urging the horse to kill Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng was not in a hurry, the silver spear shook, and the spear stabbed towards Gao Kaidao like a pear blossom rainstorm, stabbing dozens of shots in a row, killing Gao Kaidao in a hurry, at this time, the spear stabbed Gao Kaidao in the chest like lightning, Gao Kaidao instinctively raised the knife to block, but this was just a false move, not waiting for Gao Kaidao to react, the spear had already stabbed Gao Kaidao's neck.

Gao Kaidao only felt a sharp pain in his neck, he screamed, and was picked off the horse by Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng shot again, and as a result, Gao Kaidao's life, Gao Kaidao repeatedly escaped from danger, but as the sentence said: 'It's not that you don't report, the time has not come', Gao Kaidao did not escape the way of heaven in the end, and died in the hands of Luo Cheng.

Although the killing of Gao Kaidao did not affect the morale of the Turkic army, the Turkic army had collapsed at this time, and the 10,000 Turkic cavalry was composed of ten Turkic tribes, large and small, and the leader of each tribe served as a commander and led his own tribal soldiers.

If these tribes will unite and fight for the first place when it comes to killing and looting, but once the war is lost, they will think about preserving their strength first, and fleeing the battlefield is undoubtedly the wisest decision.

The Turkic cavalry fled more than ten miles to the east and then fled north in a hurry, Luo Cheng immediately divided his troops into two routes, and ordered Ying Yanglang to lead Shi Hengbo to lead 5,000 cavalry to continue to pursue and kill in the north, and the other 5,000 cavalry waded across the Huangshui River and killed Lou Fu Pass under the personal leadership of Luo Cheng.

The cavalry of the 5,000 Sui Army pursued all the way to the north, chased out more than 100 miles, and killed most of the enemy, Shi Hengbo stopped chasing and led the army back to Yangma City. (To be continued.) )
