Annoyed and angry, Shibi Khan was terrible, because he had 300,000 Turkic wolf riders, and at the sound of an order, the 300,000 army did not care about the terrain in the canyon at all, and the armies of various tribes lined up in arrays one after another, waiting for one to fail, and immediately replacing the other.

Although this style of play, it seems to be rough and without any discipline craftsmanship in the eyes of the closed Lai Hu'er, and it is insulting to the command art of the general. However, the chaotic style of play of the Turks also formed a saturation attack, a wheel war-like style of play, which did not give the defenders half time to rest at all.

The servant bones attacked for an hour like chicken blood, and once attacked the city head on the pass, but in the end they were caught up by the Sui Janissaries like dumplings. The 20,000 attacking servants lost at least 3,000 at once. Without waiting for the servant's bones to give the order to continue, Shibi had already ordered him to withdraw his troops and horses to the back to rest, and no longer give him a chance to attack.

The soldiers and horses of the servants retreated, and then the soldiers and horses of the nine major tribes, including Tongluo, Weitong, Bayegu, Fuluo, Mengchen, Turufu, Sijie, Hun, and Huxue, were also sent by Shibi repeatedly. From early morning to noon, from late afternoon to dusk. 300,000 Turkic troops attacked the Xicheng Pass, where 50,000 people were stationed at Laihu'er, and with the terrain and the simple pass, Laihu'er and 50,000 Janissaries were stunned for six hours.

However, although the Praetorian Guard was tenacious, Shibi Khan had already made a bloody investment in order to break through this pass and chase Yang Guang. He had already ordered the chiefs of the tribes and the soldiers of the whole army that whoever was the first to conquer the pass could then obtain an entire county of territory and let them plunder it alone. And the first steppe warrior to attack the juncture, whether it was a leader or an ordinary tribal people, could get a thousand cattle and a thousand sheep, plus a thousand horses and a thousand taels of gold and a thousand Han slaves. In addition, if the pass is captured today, then the entire army of 300,000 will be rewarded handsomely.

This reward of Shibi drove all the Turks mad. Before each soldier attacked, he drank several sips of spirits fiercely, shouting that there was only one chance, and that he would die on the head of the city, and rushed forward without his life.

The various tribes have followed one another, but only the Ashina tribe has not moved. The 50,000 Ashina Golden Wolf Cavalry of Shibi all became archers, while Jieli's 20,000 cavalry simply became law enforcement teams, specializing in escort formation. As for the 30,000 cavalry of the two younger brothers of Chuluo Khan and Qijishe, they also commanded their own soldiers and horses to watch the battle.

Such a small pass was crowded with so many troops at once. In addition, there are not many city defense equipment in the pass, and in the face of the frenzied Turks, the Praetorian Guards are invincible and invincible. The casualties of the battle were staggering. By the time the battle reached mid-afternoon, the Turkic ladders were already covering the city. More and more Turkic cavalry poured into the city, and the more they fought, the more brave they became.

Dusk is approaching, and the sunset is like blood.

Yun Dingxing's fat body slammed left and right on the head of the city, and after killing the two Turks around him with surprising dexterity, he finally rushed to Laihu'er, who was full of clothes.

"Dashuai, you can't do anything, let's withdraw"

Laihu'er looked at the Turks who kept pouring into the city like ants, and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty has asked me to stay at this pass, and you are full of expectations for me. It's only been a day since the convocation was gathered, and how could I retreat. General Yun, you take your guards and take the seriously injured soldiers in the pass to Yanmen. ”

Yun Dingxing shook his head, "Great Shuai, it is only a one-day journey from Xicheng to Yanmen, and Your Majesty must have entered Yanmen City now." The task of the commander and the soldiers has also been completed, and what is needed now is not to hit the stone with an egg, but to lead the army back to Yanmen and add a defensive force to His Majesty. ”

The sword stands on the gate, and the protector is full of vicissitudes. Rong Ma spent his life, after all, he still couldn't escape the fate of the general's death on the battlefield. He was originally from Nanchen, but he ended up living in seclusion in the mountains for revenge, and later joined the army of the Zhou Dynasty. and then Emperor Wen on behalf of Zhou Jiansui, it can be said that the world of the Great Sui in the past few decades has also been soaked in his blood and sweat. He is also full of feelings for the Sui Dynasty, as a founding general, as the founding general of a unified dynasty that unifies the north and the south, his feelings for the Great Sui are extremely deep.

Although he had only commanded the army for many years, he never ignored the situation in the DPRK and China. He watched the Great Sui grow from scratch, from taking control of half of the northern part of the country to unifying the north and south, and then to the wealth of the world and the submission of the surrounding areas. And in the past few years, he has also watched the rivers and mountains that they fought by the old civil and military ministers and Emperor Wen slowly decline. Even among his several sons, the most prominent old man died in Liaodong, and his second son was seriously injured in Dongdong, and he can only be bedridden to this day. …,

The rivers and mountains are at dusk, and the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui are like the dusk in front of them, hanging down and sinking in the west, and there is no hope in sight. Emperor Wen is dead, Li Delin is dead, Gao Ying is dead, Yang Su is dead, Wei Xiaokuan is dead, Shi Wansui is dead, Han Baohu is dead, He Ruobi is dead, Zhang Xutuo is dead, Yu Zhongwen is dead, Mai Tiezhu is dead, Xin Shixiong is dead, Murong Sanzang is dead, Zhou Luoyu is dead, Zhou Fashang is dead, and even Li Hun and Yuwenshu are dead. Laihu'er looked at the silver hair fluttering in front of his forehead, and sighed in his heart, maybe he should go too. Fight for a lifetime, let yourself die here, die in the hands of the Turks, it is better than dying in bed like Yuwenshu, better than dying in the hands of his own people like Zhang Xutuo, and better than dying in the hands of the emperor like Yu Zhongwen.

Putting the big iron spear in his hand in front of him and looking at it carefully, the big iron spear that had followed them for forty years was still dark, and even the black one emitted a faint light. Although he was an official eunuch back then, his parents died early, and he was always raised by his father and mother. Poor literature is rich in martial arts, poor people can't afford to practice martial arts, although he is good at martial arts, but he can only practice with some sticks, and more often he still learns literature.

Later, after joining the army, he chose such a big iron gun as his weapon, and I don't know how many people from military generals have made fun of him, saying that he is a wild man, and he can't even use a horse lance. But when he became a lieutenant general, he possessed many horse lances, many of which were precious to the enemy generals who died under his iron spear, but he never changed them, but always used them. With a gun in his hand, he was full of pride in his chest.

Laihu'er roared, the sound was like thunder, it was death, and it had to die fiercely, and it was enough to kill.

A war drum sounded, and from under the city climbed countless Turks, the soldiers and horses of a new tribe that had just been replaced. But Laihu'er didn't bother to look at it, an iron gun in his hand, waving like a plum blossom blooming, impervious to wind and rain, and needles could not penetrate. One after another, the Turkic soldiers rushed in, and the scimitar in their hands had been stabbed in the throat or chest before it could reach him. The fallen corpse quickly formed a circle around Laihu'er and built up.

Shi Bi also saw the bravery of the silver-haired veteran on the pass, the Turkic warriors who kept falling, and the Sui army whose morale was greatly shaken around him. Shibi's brow furrowed tightly.

"Take Ben Khan's iron-tired bow."

A golden wolf guard quickly brought a bow bag and opened it, revealing an iron-tired treasure bow. This bow is the same pair of bows as the eldest grandson Wujian in Chen Kefu's hand, two treasure bows, one female and one male. Chen Kefu's one is male, but the one in Shibi's hand is female. This iron-tire treasure bow was originally a royal treasure of the Zhou Dynasty, and later the princess and her relatives married into the grassland, and this pair of bows was also brought into the grassland. The eldest grandson of the messenger was handsome and chic, and the princess fell in love with him in just a short way. Later, the princess gave him the male of the bows, and kept the female for herself. The years passed, but in the end, the male bow came into the hands of Chen Kefu, and the female bow of the princess of Qianjin fell into the hands of Shibi Khan.

The iron tire bow is made of iron, and it cannot be opened without the power of a thousand gold.

Even in the steppe where such a bow is good at riding and shooting, few people can open it. The bow was started, and a golden arrow was put on at the beginning, and the dantian was angry, and his eyes were locked on to protect the child. After secretly counting ten in his heart, as soon as the hand holding the bowstring was released, the golden arrow left the string and made a loud sound.

Lai Hu'er is the eighteenth grandson of the Eastern Han Dynasty founding Zhonglang in the future, at this time since he no longer has the idea of survival, a hand to the home gun is even more superb, only to see the shadow of the gun, the gun in all directions is the phantom of the gun head. The Turks came up with one dead and one dead, and when they came up, two dead and one wounded. Just when the Turks were already frightened, an arrow suddenly drilled into the chest of one of the Turkic soldiers and hit Laihu'er in the chest.

With this powerful arrow in his left chest and chest, Lai Hu'er raised his eyes and saw that there was a golden-armored Turkic leader in the distance under the city who was holding a big bow and looking at him from afar. Spit out a mouthful of blood, Laihu'er raised the big iron spear in his hand and waved it at the Khan of Shibi under the gate. The big iron spear was castrated like lightning, and went straight to the beginning.

Seeing that the Sui general in the city was hit by an arrow from his iron-tired strong bow, not only did he not die, but he also threw a shot at himself, which made Shi Bi startled. After retreating more than ten steps, he found that the iron spear had penetrated three Turkic warriors in a row dozens of paces before he was dozens of paces ahead and stayed in the bodies of the three of them. …,

Looking further into the city, the veteran pulled out the golden arrow in his chest and stabbed the throats of two Turkic warriors in succession before a Turkic commander took the opportunity to cut off his head with a sword. The head flew down to the bottom of the city, but the headless corpse did not fall, and stood above the pass like that.

There was a thunder and lightning flash in the sky, but the heavy rain that had just stopped for a day began to fall again. One of the last Optimus Prime of the Great Sui collapsed with a bang.

As soon as Laihu'er died, the already crumbling Xicheng Pass could no longer be defended. The fat man Yun Baoxing led his troops to snatch back the headless body of Laihu'er, and led the remaining remnants of less than 5,000 defeated soldiers to retreat south in panic.

Shibi Khan, who captured the pass, pursued along the road and asked people to count the battle damage, and the reported figures made Shibi Khan startled. Before joining the war, the 280,000 Turkic army, except for the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Ashina tribes, did not directly participate in the war. The 180,000 troops of the various tribes who participated in the siege battle head-on, after breaking through the Xicheng Pass and annihilating the 50,000 Sui army, actually killed 60,000 in battle, seriously wounded nearly 10,000, and slightly wounded as many as 20,000. directly lost 70,000 troops, and if you add the more than 10,000 dead in the vanguard army in front, the Turkic army of 300,000 has actually lost 30%.

This figure shocked Shi Bi and the leaders of the various tribes, and after paying such a big price, they only annihilated 60,000 elite Sui troops and more than 10,000 local miscellaneous government soldiers. And Yang Guang's shadow, they haven't seen it yet. This made many tribal leaders hesitate a little after the blood subsided, especially when they found that the soldiers and horses of the Ashina tribe had only lost more than 10,000 vanguard troops, while their tribes had lost even more. Many leaders even doubted the beginning of Bi, wondering if he was taking the opportunity to weaken the major tribes so that the Ashina tribe would dominate.

Seeing the hesitation of the tribal leaders, Shibi immediately summoned the tribal chiefs on the march.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although we have lost a lot of soldiers and horses today. But all the tribal leaders and brothers should see that we have been rewarded for this effort, and we have captured Xicheng Pass, annihilated 50,000 elite Sui troops, and killed two Sui generals and one general. This is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that Yang Guang is now less than a day away from us, if we speed up a little more, we can even catch up with Yang Guang in half a day. And now there are only 100,000 horses around Yang Guang, brothers, just 100,000. Today's 50,000 Sui troops were annihilated in only half a day, and 100,000 people are just another half a day. ”

"Brothers of all tribes, we have gathered and taken the two counties of Dingxiang and Mayi, and we will immediately take Yanmen, and even the entire Hedong. With a little effort, the entire Hedong will be ours. Ben Khan hereby promises that as soon as he catches up with Yang Guang, Ben Khan will personally lead the warriors of the Ashina tribe to take the lead in capturing Yang Guang this time, and all the captures in Hedong will be divided equally among the major tribes."

Yang Guang's words once again completely ignited the blood of the leaders of the tribes, thinking that there were only 100,000 horses left around Yang Guang, the leaders of the tribes began to shout again to capture Yang Guang alive. They didn't even need to be urged, they themselves were desperately urging their tribe's soldiers and horses to speed up.

In less than a day, in addition to the nearly 20,000 lightly and seriously wounded soldiers who remained at the Xicheng Pass, the remaining 200,000 troops had already rushed to the outside of Yanmen City. At this time, not long after Yang Guang had just entered Yanmen City, he sent envoys from all walks of life to transfer troops to Li Yuan in Taiyuan, and on the other hand, he sent his son Yang Hui, the king of Liao, to lead Dong Chun, Yu Juluo, and Tu Lixu to rush to various nearby cities with only a team of guards, so that they could gather soldiers and horses from various cities to return to Yanmen to assist in defense.

However, Yang Xuan had just gathered the 30,000 soldiers and horses gathered from the cities of Yanmen to Laoxian, and before he could return to Yanmen, the 200,000 troops had already arrived. After sending 150,000 troops to surround Yanmen City, Shibi sent another 50,000 troops to attack the cities of Yanmen.

In just two days, the forty-one cities of Yanmen, except for Yanmen City, which was guarded by Yang Guang's 100,000 troops and Cuixian County, which was guarded by 30,000 soldiers and horses of Yang Xuan, the king of Liao, all fell into the hands of the Turks. For a while, Yang Guang was completely surrounded by the Turks, trapped in a lonely city, .......
