Two days after the occupation of the mine, more than 1,000 flat-bottomed ships from Toyosu arrived in Shiocheon-gun, all but some of which were carrying grain, and the rest were empty ships to pick up the iron ore.

The people quickly carried the ore onto the ship, and a team of scouts went deep into Yan'an County and Diaoyin County to find out the news.

However, at this moment, Liu Jialun led an army of 60,000 troops to kill the mine and sent urgent information to Yang Yuanqing's big tent.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Yuanqing was pacing back and forth in front of a map of Guannai, and he had just received a letter from Pei Ju, in which he told him that Yang Guang had no intention of using force against Fengzhou, nor did he purge the Shandong scholars among the court officials, in other words, Yang Guang temporarily acquiesced in his support for Sui self-reliance.

Yang Yuanqing knew very well that the reason why Yang Guang was forced to compromise was not a military problem, since he could launch a million-strong army to conquer Goryeo, he had the courage to mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress Fengzhou.

The fundamental reason is still a political problem, Yang Guang can no longer attack the Guanlong nobles at the same time, and then clean up the Shandong scholars, and there are also problems in the south, the political situation has begun to become unstable, Yang Guang should also be aware of the crisis, so it can only be said that he can't take care of himself for the time being, once he stabilizes the situation in the Central Plains a little, he will not hesitate to turn around and deal with himself.

For him, Yang Yuanqing, this is also an opportunity, and he must take advantage of this precious time to actively prepare for war, expand his power, and expand the defensive circle.

Although Wei Zheng persuaded him to use Guanlong's manpower to occupy the land of Shandong, it did not mean that his army could not step into Guannei, on the contrary, he had to expand his power to the south, and he had to put the battlefield on the periphery, and he could not fight against the Sui army that encircled him in his own Fengzhou, which would destroy his foundation.

If the Sui army came to encircle and suppress them, the fierce battles that broke out between them could only be in Yanchuan, Shuofang, Yulin, or Lingwu County, and it could never be in Wuyuan County.

This time he led the army south, Yang Yuanqing not only wanted to seize the mines, but also to infiltrate the forces into the pass, and cross-border bandits were the best excuse.

"Report to the Chief, Urgent Intelligence!" The soldier's report rang out outside the tent.

"Come in!" Yang Yuanqing quickly put his thoughts back.

The messenger walked briskly into the tent, knelt down on one knee, and presented a red piece of information, which indicated that the situation was most urgent.

Yang Yuanqing took the information and opened it, and sure enough, it was Liu Jialun's army attacking, which was even more fierce than he expected, and the 60,000 army, it is estimated that Liu Jialun was going to step flat together with the county seat.

Yang Yuanqing smiled self-deprecatingly, he was afraid that Liu Jialun would not come, so he sent a thousand people to attack the mine, now it seems that his worries are completely superfluous, Liu Jialun doesn't care about the number of his troops at all, he may think that it is the army of Yanchuan County.

Yang Yuanqing immediately turned around and ordered: "Pass my order, and all Ying Yanglang will all go to the big tent for a meeting." ”

．．．．．．．．

The endless wasteland is covered with yellow dust, a poplar forest is also covered with yellow dust, a shallow river outside the forest, the water level is also dropped sharply, a few miles away, the black pressure army is crossing the river, countless soldiers and war horses drink the river water, continue to run, the dense horse hooves block the river, all kinds of flags gather into clouds, the team is huge, more than ten miles long.

The team is disorganized, the clothes and armor are mottled, the weapons are all kind, there are knives and spears, there are also wooden sticks and hoes, and the rebels in the Central Plains have the same characteristics, there are many people, but lack of training, lack of equipment, Liu Jia on the rebellion is only less than half a year, he can not build a 100,000-strong Jihu team into an elite army.

But this army also has the advantage that the Central Plains bandits do not have, that is, there are many war horses, they are all nomads in the northern part of the Guannai, basically everyone has horses, exquisite equestrian skills, and extremely strong mobility ability.

In addition, there is a beast-like ferocity in this army, although their ranks are chaotic, everyone is ferocious and abnormal, and their faces are hideous, and they have swept through Guanbei for half a year, and I don't know how many Han people have died under their iron hooves, and I don't know how many women have wailed.

This time, they have a new prey, not only to retake the mines, but also to set foot in the only county seat of Shiogawa County, which is said to contain tens of thousands of Han people, countless riches waiting for them to plunder, and countless women to ravage.

"Capture the county seat, and let all the belongings and women take it!"

This was an order given by Liu Jialun, which made everyone's blood run high, and the primal desire burned in their hearts, and it also inspired them to increase their speed and rush towards Yanchuan County.

On the morning of this day, Liu Jialun's army of 60,000 entered Yanchuan County, and the majestic Great Wall was already visible in the distance, but the speed of the army's advance was significantly slowed down, and a cavalry team appeared in the wilderness in front of them.

Liu Jia's argument was like a basin of ice water splashing on his face, his manic heart suddenly calmed down, he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake in judgment, it was not the army of Yanchuan County attacking the mine, there were 10,000 cavalry here, and it could only be Yang Yuanqing's Fengzhou army.

Liu Jialun only felt trembling in both strands, and he was extremely remorseful in his heart, but now it is impossible for him to retreat, and retreating means that the army is defeated.

Fortunately, the other party only has 10,000 people, and he has 60,000 troops, which has an absolute advantage in troops, which can also make up for the weakness of the army's lack of equipment. ”

Liu Jialun knew better than anyone else that his army was supported by a force of courage to kill and plunder, and he had to defeat the Sui army in one fell swoop before the courage of his soldiers disappeared.

The 60,000 army slaughtered like a surging tide, the huge waves were churning, the yellow dust was rolling, and the momentum was terrifying, and it was overwhelming to kill the Sui army.

The 10,000 Sui army was led by the young general Pei Xingyan, this was his first time fighting independently in the army, although he was slightly nervous in his heart, but the fortitude on his face and the fierce body brought strong self-confidence to the soldiers.

Pei Xingyan looked at the enemy calmly, although the enemy was murderous, and everyone was extremely excited, but the non-stop attack for two days and two nights made the war horse under their crotch exhausted, and the violent impact would make the war horse's physical strength greatly overdrawn.

Pei Xingyan showed a sneer on his face, these bandits were too naïve, did they think they would fight them? He pointed his seven-foot lance at the enemy and coldly ordered: "Prepare to shoot!" ”

The 10,000 Sui troops were lined up in three columns, and the 3,000 cavalry in front were equipped with cavalry crossbows, which were a kind of tension crossbows, which were stepped on with their feet on horses, and the effective killing distance could reach 150 paces.

The 3,000 Sui cavalry brushed the ground and raised their cavalry crossbows and aimed at the rushing rebels, while the 7,000 Sui troops behind used their cavalry bows and waited for the first group of cavalry to retreat.

"Two hundred and forty steps..... Two hundred steps... One hundred and eighty steps....."

There was silence in the Sui army, only the voice of the rangefinder echoed over the army, and Pei Xingyan waited coldly.

"One hundred and fifty steps!" It has entered the lethal range, but Pei Xingyan's order has not yet been given.

"One Hundred and Forty Steps.....

"Shoot!" Pei Xingyan finally gave the order to shoot.

"Boom! Boom! With the sound of a crisp crossbow machine, three thousand crossbow arrows were shot out suddenly, forming a black arrow cloud in the air, shooting head-on at the rushing enemy group like a storm, the screams resounded in front of the formation, a group of people turned on their horses, the simple leather armor of the bandits could not resist the powerful crossbow arrows, nearly a thousand people were shot down, but the loss of a thousand people was nothing to 60,000 people, and the bandits still stormed forward.

Three thousand crossbow arrows were fired, the Sui army with the crossbow quickly retreated, urging the horse to gallop westward, the seven thousand cavalry behind only waited for a while, and at the same time the random arrows were shot, seven thousand arrows were shot at the bandits who rushed into the range of 100 steps, and a large number of enemy troops were shot down, this time the casualties were close to 2,000 people, the sharp bows and arrows of the Sui army and the heavy death made the enemy's violent momentum astringent, and the morale began to drop a little.

The 10,000 cavalry of the Sui army rushed towards it in a neat and orderly manner, and they waited for work at great speed, which was obviously to lure the other party to chase after them.

Liu Jialun also realized that something was wrong, so if he chased without end, the physical strength of the war horse would not be able to support it in the first place, and the army would inevitably collapse without a fight.

He shouted: "Stop the pursuit, get in order!" ”

'When! While! The bell rang, the bell rang quickly and loudly, this is not only the order to withdraw the army, but also the order to stop the pursuit, the strong inertia of more than 50,000 troops rushed out of nearly two miles, only to finally stop the war horse, at this time, the war horse has been exhausted, after the overdraft of the physical impact, and suddenly stopped, many old and weak war horses fell first, foaming at the mouth.

At this moment, 10,000 Sui troops came back, launched the arrow array again a hundred steps away, 10,000 arrows were intensively shot at the enemy, the enemy soldiers turned on their backs, and suffered heavy casualties, Liu Jia's army was in chaos, the soldiers retreated to avoid the arrows, the Sui army pursued and shot arrows, and three rounds of 30,000 arrows had caused the enemy to be killed and wounded by four or five thousand people.

Liu Jia's morale dropped sharply, and every soldier's face showed a look of fear, and the powerful Sui army's arrow array frightened them into fear, and the frenzy and desire at the beginning had faded without a trace.

Liu Jialun was helpless in his heart, the Sui army did not fight hard with him at all, and only used bows and arrows to deal with him, and their earthen bows and arrows were too short to compete with the bows and arrows of the Sui army, and if this continued, the army would be defeated.

He had no choice but to swing his knife and shout: "Cover up!" ”

The war drums of the attack sounded again, and tens of thousands of Jihu troops were urged to pursue and kill again, but this time they lost their passion and slowed down, obviously a reluctant pursuit.

Pei Xingyan sneered and ordered: "Use the fish to line the arrow array!" ”

This is a formation used when one's own speed is significantly faster than the opponent's, running out of a certain distance to stop, shooting a round of arrows, running again, shooting again, like a school of fish, swimming a certain distance to stop and turn back, and then swim forward, this is also the tactic that the Sui army was originally prepared to use.

Only run out of six or seven miles, the Jihu army is already a corpse, the 60,000 army has been killed and wounded nearly 15,000 people, morale is extremely low, chasing is to send death, the vast majority of soldiers are unwilling to chase, people are afraid of horses, there are signs of imminent collapse, at this moment, there is a Sui cavalry in the south, about more than 10,000 people, with unstoppable momentum, to the rear of Liu Jia'an's army, instantly killed into the enemy group.

The Jihu army was suddenly in chaos, Pei Xingyan saw that the commander's army had been killed, he raised his lance and shouted: "The time to attack has come, sons, kill with me!" ”

"Kill!"

10,000 cavalry brandished spears and shouted wildly, followed Pei Xingjun to the enemy army, the strength that had been accumulated for a long time broke out at this moment, the two Sui cavalry attacked back and forth, the Jihu army was defeated, the whole line collapsed, the rebels scattered and fled, this battle killed the rebels' heads, blood flowed like a river, the Sui army of Fengzhou chased out more than 50 miles, 60,000 Ji Hu bandits were killed more than 40,000 people, more than 10,000 people were captured, only a few thousand people escaped, Liu Jialun was killed by Pei Xingyan in the chaos.

Yang Yuanqing did not stay, led the army to attack Diaoyin County, the great battle of Liu Jia's general Liu Harizi, the Sui army won four battles and four victories, Yang Yuanqing shot Liu Harizi in front of the battle, Liu Harrier's more than 40,000 people were wiped out, and 25,000 people were killed.

So far, less than half a year after the rebellion, Liu Jia, who had 100,000 Hu soldiers, was bloodily suppressed by Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Fengzhou, and nearly 70,000 people were killed, and more than 20,000 prisoners of war were arrested to open mines.
