Pei Xingyan was anxious, he knew that the escaped Turkic army commander would inevitably send someone to inform the 1,000 Turkic cavalry in Yunnei County to retreat, even if the Turkic cavalry could not take away the cattle and sheep, they would poison all the cattle and sheep to death, so that they would eventually find nothing.

The five thousand cavalry galloped towards the east day and night, and at dusk, they finally returned to Yunnei County.

There were still a few miles away from Yunnei County, and a team of Sui army scouts greeted him, and Pei Xingyan asked anxiously, "How is the situation in Yangma City?" ”

"General Hui, a Turkic cavalry came this morning, about 1,000 people, increasing the defenders of Yangma City to 2,000 people."

"Is there any movement of cattle and sheep in the city?"

"No, it's quiet!"

Pei Xingyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that they had finally arrived in time, and at this moment, several more scouts rushed to report, "General, there seems to be movement in Yangma City, and the Turkic army has begun to slaughter sheep!" ”

Pei Xingyan was shocked, he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly ordered: "The whole army will kill Yangma City!" ”

Five thousand cavalry suddenly launched and galloped towards the city of sheep and horses, which was miles away.

In fact, Yangma City is the use of the original county city wall, in which millions of cattle and sheep are raised, not only so that cattle and sheep have a place to live, but also to prevent the attack of wolves, in addition to cattle and sheep in the county, there are 2,000 soldiers stationed, of which 1,000 people are the Turkic cavalry who came to take over Yangma City in the morning.

The commander of this Turkic cavalry was called Uli, a commander of a thousand soldiers, who had just received an order from the Zhu state Kang Sheli to slaughter all the cattle and sheep and then evacuate.

Uli also knew that their main force encountered the Sui army, unfortunately defeated, almost all the army was wiped out, this news made him frightened, he immediately ordered the slaughter of sheep, but the slaughter of millions of cattle and sheep is not easy, Uli led the army to slaughter desperately, it took a quarter of an hour to kill more than 20,000 sheep, and at this time, the alarm bell sounded on the sentry tower at the head of the city.

'When! While! While! ’

The alarm bell is very urgent, which means that there is a large group of enemy troops killed, Uli knows that this is the main force of the Sui army to kill back, in desperation, he had to give up the slaughter, led the army to open the north city gate and fled, Yunnei County has been abandoned for many years, the city wall has collapsed more than a dozen sections, and the wolf defense is a little reluctant, not to mention the defense of the army attack.

At the same time that the Turkic army rushed out of the north city gate, 5,000 Sui cavalry also killed under the southern city of Yunnei County, and Lang General Shi Hengbo led 1,000 cavalry to kill from a gap in the east.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the 1,000 Liu Wuzhou army left in the city immediately opened the city to surrender to the Sui army, Pei Xingyan heard that the cattle and sheep were basically there, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, he was in a good mood, and the killing heart of the defenders in the city also subsided, so he ordered to accept the surrender of the defenders.

This is an old and weak army, the equipment is very backward, more than half of the soldiers have no armor, the soldiers' weapons are even more varied, most of them are inferior knives and spears, and even hoes, bamboo guns, etc., it is precisely because they have no combat effectiveness that Liu Wuzhou left them in Yunnei County to guard cattle and sheep.

The defenders thought it was the Tang army that killed them, and when they found out that the cavalry outside the city turned out to be the Northern Sui army, they were all stunned, the Northern Sui army actually entered the state, in their memory, only when Zhang Xuan, the king of Qi, led the army to Yanmen County to rescue, the Qingzhou army appeared in this area, and everyone lamented in their hearts, this time Liu Wuzhou was completely finished.

.........

The tug-of-war between Liu Wuzhou and the Tang army has been going on for three years, and three years ago, Liu Wuzhou led an army of more than 100,000 troops to enter the southern part of Bingzhou several times, looting a lot of wealth and grain, burning and killing ****, and doing all kinds of evil.

The grievances of the people in the counties of Bingzhou were boiling, and they put pressure on the Tang Dynasty, requiring the Tang army to completely eradicate the scourge of Liu Wuzhou, the Tang army also fought with Liu Wuzhou several times, the two sides won and lost each other, in order to support the situation of the state, the Tang army always maintained 50,000 troops in the state, killed, supplemented, and killed, and supplemented, before and after, the Tang army had conscripted nearly 100,000 troops in the state, and lost nearly half of the soldiers, which became a huge burden on the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanji's three years of ineffective suppression of bandits and the bottomless pit of money and food investment, finally made Li Yuan unbearable, with the crown prince Li Jiancheng replaced Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng lived up to Li Yuan's expectations, in just half a year of successive battles, especially in the beginning of May in Lou Fan County Jingle County and the enemy decisive battle, Li Jiancheng led the army to annihilate Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's 60,000 troops, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang only led thousands of remnants of the army to flee back to Lou Fu Pass.

The first battle of Jingle County was a turning point in the situation in the state, from then on Liu Wuzhou was no longer able to go south, had to lead the last 15,000 troops to defend Lou Fu Pass, from June, Li Jiancheng led 80,000 troops to storm Lou Fu Pass, but the Lou Fu Pass city wall was strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Tang army attacked for two months, more than 20,000 dead and wounded, still failed to capture Lou Fu Pass, and Liu Wuzhou's troops were less than 10,000, morale was low, the military heart was shaken, and Lou Fu Pass was in danger.

In desperation, Liu Wuzhou had no choice but to repeat his old tricks and send people to ask for help from the Turkic cavalry stationed in Fu Qibo, as long as the Turkic army appeared in Lou Fu Pass, then out of political considerations, the Tang army was likely to withdraw.

Three years ago, Liu Wuzhou, who had just started his army, used this trick and fully surrendered to the Turks, and the Turks came forward to mediate the fierce battle between the Tang army and Liu Wuzhou, and the Tang army was forced to cease fighting, so that Liu Wuzhou won time.

This time, I don't know if I can make the Tang army retreat again.

Li Jiancheng agreed to Liu Wuzhou's request for a temporary truce of three days, and the Tang army also needed to bury the corpses and rest the army, while Liu Wuzhou seized the time to boost morale and repair the city.

Li Jiancheng's mood is a little complicated, on the one hand, Liu Wuzhou has reached the end of his rope and is finally going to be destroyed, thinking that the cancer in Bingzhou is about to be cut off, Li Jiancheng is really relieved, but on the other hand, Li Jiancheng is worried about the situation in Luoyang.

He received the Chang'an Express and learned that Dugu Huaien had been assassinated in Luoyang, and he immediately guessed that this was the work of the Northern Sui, with the purpose of provoking a fight between Tang and Zheng.

Once the war broke out again between Tang and Zheng, and the Tang army was pinned down by Wang Shichong's army, then Zhang Xuan would be able to calmly erode the interests of the Tang army, just like the last time he besieged Wei to save Zhao, the Sui army finally annexed Shangdang and Changping counties.

And where will Jang Hyun's goal be this time? Merge state or Jiangxia?

Li Jiancheng had already written to his father to tell him that he must restrain the anger in his heart and not let Zhang Xuan's trick succeed, so he didn't know if his suggestion could be accepted by his father and the court.

At this time, Chai Shao slowly stepped forward and stood side by side with Li Jiancheng, he looked at Lou Fuguan and said in a low voice: "Does Your Highness think that the Turks will send troops this time?" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, "I think the Turks will definitely send troops, but they only have five thousand cavalry, and they are not good at defending the city, so it will not have much impact on our attack on Loufu Pass." ”

Chai Shao sighed, "But I'm afraid that the Turks will put pressure on the imperial court, in case the imperial court is afraid of the Turkic military strength and finally accepts to reconcile with Liu Wuzhou, what should I do?" ”

Li Jiancheng smiled faintly and said: "Kang Sheli alone is unable to mobilize the Turkic envoys of Chang'an, he must send someone back to ask for instructions from Luo Khan, this will be at least twenty days, can Liu Wuzhou keep it for another twenty days?" ”

Chai Shao also smiled: "Your Highness is right, the other party really has no time, so when will we attack?" ”

"Rest for another day today, and early tomorrow morning, the army will begin to storm Lou Fu Pass, and strive to take the pass within three days."

.......

At the same time when Li Jiancheng inspected Lou Fu Pass, Liu Wuzhou also stood on the city wall and looked at this side, he saw Li Jiancheng standing at the edge of the forest from a distance, and his eyes showed monstrous anger.

Since Li Jiancheng replaced Li Yuanji in Taiyuan, the Tang army no longer retreated from Taiyuan City, but took the initiative to attack, relying only on 50,000 troops to defeat their own 100,000 troops again and again, and the battle of Jingle County almost wiped out their entire army.

At present, Liu Wuzhou only has 8,000 troops left, morale is low, and the morale of the army is weak, if the Turks do not send troops to help him, he may not be able to survive this time.

Liu Wuzhou was worried again, in terms of time, the Turkic reinforcements should have arrived today, why is there no news yet, and his heralds have not returned, is it ...... Did something happen?

At this moment, the deputy general Song Jingang walked over quickly and said in a low voice: "King, things are not good!" (To be continued.) )
