It did start, the first thing to start was the battlefield of the partial division on the east bank of the Hutuo River, the Sui army's partial division Xie Zichong who took a small road to the north just came to the position ten miles away from Yanmen City, and the front immediately shot a stormy bow and arrow, and at the same time, a large number of arrows fell on the mountain next to the road, and then a large number of Turkic troops also appeared in front of the Sui army's partial division and on the high ground on the right side with torches.

Fortunately, the Sui army's partial division knew that this trip would inevitably be ambushed before the war, and had already made psychological preparations and contingency preparations, after the initial panic, Xie Zichong gave an order, and the soldiers of the Sui army immediately changed from the front team to the rear team, and the rear team became the front team, and retreated towards the way they came, and there was no chaotic collapse scene expected by the Turkic army, but the Turkic army also refused to let go of this opportunity to completely annihilate the Sui army's partial division, and immediately strode into pursuit, and the narrow east bank of the Hutuo River suddenly became a shouting and killing shock, and the sound of war drums and horns was deafening.

At the same time, the main force of the Sui army of Youwuwei on the north side of the wide avenue on the west bank was also ambushed only ten miles away from the west gate of Yanmen City, and the Turkic army ambushed at the north end of the Turkic camp by night attacked in two ways, directly impacting the flank of the Sui army all the way, and rushing all the way to the road leading to Yanmen City of the Sui army to intercept it, and at the same time, the west of the Turkic camp was also killed by an army, first seizing the road to cut off the return of the Sui army, and then directly killing the back of the Sui army. The open area in the north of the Turkic camp, which was still pitch black before, also quickly became bright, and the dense torches directly numbered in the tens of thousands, reflecting the open ground in the north of the camp as bright as day, and the sound of shouting and killing was far compared with the sound of horses' hooves.

The time to test Liu Changgong's adaptability has come, but fortunately, friends know that our General Liu is a third-rate level when he fights hard battles, and he is a first-class master when he escapes for his life, and before the Turkic cavalry can be killed, Liu Changgong has already issued an order to escape, and he has arranged it quite carefully, shouting: "Brothers, there is an ambush, but don't be afraid, follow my handsome banner and escape!" Helanyi, your highness! ”

Yelling, Liu Changgong took the lead in turning the horse's head, and rushed directly to the open and invincible place in the northeast of Yanmen City, his flag followed closely, and the right guards ran under Liu Changgong's banner, fleeing with all their might, Liu Changgong's deputy He Lanyi led a right guard elite team behind the palace, covering the main force to flee to the northeast, tens of thousands of troops retreated, exposing their butts to kick and chop the Turkic army, but there was hardly much mess, the forerunner was not impatient, the latter was not panicked, and fled quickly with rolling yellow sand behind the buttocks, methodically, as if the escape battle of the Cuihan Road of the year reappeared.

The Turkic general Na Lun, who presided over the ambush battlefield, kept shouting and roaring, urging the three Turks to chase with all their might, and swore to wipe out this Sui army team, and the shame of a few days ago when the Sui army camp was almost wiped out. The Turks who came out of the three-way battle also competed for the lead, and the people whipped their horses and horses, like three torrents and tides, unstoppably rushed towards the defeated and fleeing Sui army, and gradually moved away from the Turkic camp unconsciously.

Although it is ten miles away from the two battlefields, standing on Yanmen City, just seeing the direction of the torch movement and hearing the sound of shouting and killing, Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er and Pei Renji and other Sui army veterans have already understood that the self-army has encountered an ambush, but later caught up with Fan Zigai and Pei Yun and other civilian officials who caught up with the city wall probed their brains, listened to Zhang Wang but didn't understand what was going on, during which Fan Zigai also asked Lai Hu'er and others: "General Yuwen, General Lai, how is the situation?" Is there a chance that our reinforcements will rush into the city for reinforcements? Do I need to go out of town to pick up? Why don't you speak, Your Majesty is still waiting for our news? ”

Yu Wenshu and Pei Renji and other veterans all blushed and didn't speak, but Lai Hu'er smashed his fist on the arrow battlement, and roared with a blue face: "How did Chen Yingliang use soldiers?" How did the two reinforcements all fall into an ambush? ”

"An ambush in our reinforcements?" Pei Yun and other civil officials all changed color on their faces.

Laihu'er Tie Qing nodded with a blushing face, and said: "They have all been ambushed, and the situation of the reinforcements on both sides is very dangerous, and there is a high possibility that the whole army will be wiped out!" And I'm sure that Chen Yingliang's reinforcement plan was exposed in advance, and the Turkic army had already prepared and set up traps for us to drill, otherwise, the Turkic army would immediately cut off the retreat of our reinforcements. ”

Hearing this, Pei Yun and the other civil officials turned even paler, but Chen Fuliang's old Bole Fan Zigai looked surprised and asked, "Come to the general, what did you just say?" Chen Yingliang's reinforcement plan was exposed in advance, and the Turkic army had already prepared and set up a trap for us to drill? ”

Seeing that Lai Hu'er nodded, Fan Zigai not only did not have the slightest worry and anxiety, but also laughed, applauded and laughed: "Okay!" The Turks are in the middle of the scheme! The siege of Yanmen may be lifted tonight. ”

This time, it was the turn of the veterans of the battlefield such as Hu'er and Yuwenshu to be dumbfounded, and Pei Renji asked directly: "Fan Shangshu, aren't you joking?" It is clear that our reinforcements were ambushed by the Turks, how can you say that it is a Turkic plan? ”

"Doctor Pei, you don't know your distant nephew too well." Fan Zigai laughed loudly and said: "What kind of virtue is Chen Xiaozi, the old man knows very well, he is more slippery than a loach on the battlefield, more refined than a fox, he has always been the only one who takes advantage, no one can get any benefit under his hands, these Turkic barbarians have met him, and he can only be killed by him!" Don't worry, it won't be long before the Turks are going to be out of luck! ”

The civil and military forces of the Sui army looked at each other, and they were all suspicious of Fan Zigai's words, and Fan Zigai smiled again: "It's okay, let's go and report to His Majesty, let's just say that our army is progressing smoothly, just wait patiently, and the Turkic army will be defeated tonight." ”

No one dared to take Fan Zi to cover the stubble of this, including Chen Fuliang's backers Pei Ju and Pei Yun, Yu Shiji and Feng Deyi, who were hostile to the old Pei family, also said: "Fan Shangshu, this matter is no joke, now our army is in ambush, but you want us to report to the emperor's majesty, saying that our army is progressing smoothly, and we will win tonight, we don't have the guts." ”

"Then the old man will go and report to His Majesty alone." Fan Zigai was full of confidence in Chen Fuliang, who he had personally promoted, and said while really turning around and returning to the city: "The old man dares to take the first level guarantee, our army will win tonight!" ”

…………

At the same time, the second road of the Sui army, Jiang Duqin Wang Jun, who was slowly moving north, also found that the situation seemed to be wrong, and after the scouts confirmed that there was a battle in the north of the Turkic camp, Wang Shichong did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the whole army to speed up the north to rescue Liu Changgong, the vanguard of the Sui army, who was ambushed, but Wang Shiyun and Wang Renze and other deputies were a little worried, and they all said to Wang Shichong: "Juncheng, is it more leisurely?" The location of the battlefield is very unfavorable to us, and the troops on the Turkic side are still very strong, what should we do if we rush over at this time and are surrounded by the Turks? ”

Of course, the incompetent father-in-law Wang Shichong didn't want to risk his own capital, so he hesitated somewhat, but after looking back at the protected Peng Sui army who was surrounded by the self-army team in the middle, Wang Shichong still shouted helplessly: "Less nonsense!" Do what you are told! Besides, pay attention to protect the army of the king of Peng Qin, and not let them come into contact with the enemy! ”

Wang Shiyun and Wang Renze and others had no choice but to honestly convey the order, relying on Wang Shichong's attention to the army, Jiang Duqin's Wang army, which had been marching at a walking speed, immediately took a big step and rushed to the north at full speed.

The scouts of the two armies ran like crazy on the north-south road, and the Sibi Khan, who was a little closer, first received the news that the army of King Jiang Duqin was speeding up to the north, and in the case of unknown enemy conditions, Shibi Khan made a sound decision and ordered: "Order the whole army, hold the camp, if the barbarians attack the camp, fight back!" Fight cautiously, no one is allowed to go out of the camp to fight without my orders! Besides, send an order to the Tuokar camp and let them prepare for battle at once and wait for my orders at any time! ”

At the same time that Shibi Khan's order was quickly conveyed to the entire Turkic army, the news that Liu Changgong and Xie Zichong's second army had indeed been ambushed was finally delivered to Chen Yingliang through the delivery of the scout fast horse. Ordered Yun Dingxing, continue to wait for orders in place, and act according to the original plan! ”

The herald rushed out, Chen Fuliang turned his gaze to Li Yuan, and found that he finally couldn't contain his nervous expression, sitting next to him and even clenching his knuckles white, Chen Yingliang couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "Ambassador Li, take it easy, this is just the beginning, whether your second son betrayed the Great Sui Imperial Court, we will not know for a long time." ”

Li Yuan glanced at Chen Fuliang and did not speak.

At the same time, the Turkic army that pursued Liu Changgong also exchanged hands with the Sui army's palace team, bows and arrows poured on the Sui army's head like a storm, and the palace team led by He Lanyi followed the main force and ran wildly, while constantly turning back to shoot the Turkic cavalry with a strong crossbow, and at the same time Liu Changgong also had to slow down a little to avoid being out of touch with his old comrade-in-arms He Lanyi - the soldiers under Helan Yi's command are all the elite of the right military guard, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and they are reliable bodyguards during Liu Changgong's escape. Our General Liu doesn't want to be separated from them.

There is also this side of the Hutuo River, Xie Zichong's Sui army division has encountered the Turkic ambush soldiers from the south to the north in the hurried retreat, and under the attack before and after, the Sui army's partial division has no choice but to immediately form a formation and fight, using the narrow terrain to contend with the Turkic army from the north and south, and at the same time Xie Zichong sent his own soldiers to shout around to boost the morale of the army, "Brothers, don't be afraid!" This was already expected by our Chen Dashuai, and we resolutely carried it! As long as we carry it for a while, we will win! ”

When the battle in the north of the camp and the battlefield on the east bank of the Hutuo River became increasingly fierce, Wang Shichong's team had also approached the edge of the Turkic camp, Wang Shichong detoured north from the west of the Turkic camp according to Chen Yingliang's request, and pretended to rescue Liu Changgong who was ambushed, but this action also surprised the Turkic side, surprised that the Sui army did not come to surround Wei to save Zhao, Shibi Khan also suddenly laughed, and said with a hideous smile: "Very good, since you dog barbarians are willing to come to die, then I will fulfill you!" ”

After sneering, Shibi Khan immediately shouted: "Pass the order, the front, rear, and right three battalions will send 10,000 troops each, and attack the barbarian reinforcements on three sides!" Kill all these! ”

The order was conveyed, the three Turkic battalions that had been in a state of readiness for war did not hesitate, and immediately sent 10,000 troops each, killing the Jiangdu Qin Wang army on three sides, among which the Turkic army attacking from the right battalion moved the fastest, and as soon as the battalion did not go far to the west, it immediately encountered the Jiangdu Sui army, Wang Shichong's flank was threatened and did not dare to slack off, so he quickly ordered the army to stop advancing and shrink the strong strength to the waist, so as not to be cut off by the Turkic army. At the same time, the Qian Peng Sui army led by Kan Liang was not far from the enemy's place, and also calmly followed Kan Liang's order to wait in place, shrink the space to preserve strength, and also protected the more than 400 mysterious Sui troops led by the three dogs in the middle.

When there was not much battle with the Turkic right battalion army, the north and south ends of Jiangdu Qin's Wang army successively found that the Turkic army was killed, seeing this scene, Jiangdu Sui army was somewhat panicked, and Wang Shichong yelled and ordered, "Don't panic, retreat west!" Retreat to the west! Fast! ”

In a hurry to retreat to the west of the only enemy who did not appear, the Jiangdu Qin Wang army paid some casualties and losses in the retreat, and the Turkic army had quite a success, and saw that Wang Shichong had fallen into death, of course, they were all cheering like thunder, and the strange screams shook the sky, and the members of the Ashina family who did not eliminate the command of the army had already launched a pursuit on their own, and the three Turks were like three copper walls and iron walls, and the three breads were sandwiched towards the Jiangdu Sui army that had fallen into the place of death. And when the news reached Shibi Khan, Shibi Khan was also immediately happy to dance and applaud, "Good! Good! Just drive the dog barbarians to the west, where there is no way to go through the mountains and dense forests, and see how these dog barbarians die! ”

"Khan, there's good news." Ashina Yu said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Our Turkic warriors searched for waist cards from the killed barbarian soldiers, and found that these barbarian soldiers are Jiangdu soldiers, which means that our ally Duke Tang is still in the barbarian camp, and he can help us destroy the barbarian camp at any time!" ”

"Good! Very good! Shibi Khan applauded again, and couldn't wait to ask: "So, should I personally raise troops to the south now and take the opportunity to attack the barbarians' camp?" ”

There were a few members of Ashina's family who agreed with Shibi Khan's immediate action, but some of them were calm and persuaded: "Khan, the war has only started for a long time, we had better take a look at the situation, anyway, the barbarian camp is only twenty miles away from us, we will be there on horseback, we still have plenty of time, and wait." ”

Shibi Khan thought about it and felt reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Okay, wait a little longer, send more scouts to the south, go all out to visit the movement of the barbarian camp, and report immediately if you find anything abnormal!" ”

At the same time that the Turkic scouts rushed south, the Sui army scouts who ventured north to explore the enemy's situation had also sent the news of Wang Shichong's encounter with the enemy to Chen Yingliang, and at the same time, Yun Dingxing, who had already assembled outside the camp, also asked Chen Yingliang whether to attack, Chen Yingliang hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the combustible incense for half a quarter with his own hands, put it on the candle and lit it, and handed it to the herald and ordered: "Take it and hand it to Yun Dingxing, after this pillar of incense is burned, attack immediately and trot north!" After encountering the Turks, fight back and lead the Turks to move westward, attracting as many Turkic troops as possible! ”

"And!" Chen Yingliang also considered a possibility, and hurriedly ordered: "If the Turkic army does not come out of the camp to intercept, Zuo Tunwei will really go to rescue Wang Shichong and join forces with Wang Shichong to contain the Turkic army!" ”

The herald sang a promise, took the letter incense and ran away, Chen Fuliang also turned his eyes to the leaky pot, and found that the time was close to the third watch and the second quarter, and then ordered: "Order the Chinese army and the Taiyuan Qinwang army to do the final battle inspection, and the third watch and three quarters to assemble in the camp and beat more torches." ”

Fifteen minutes passed slowly in agony, and at the same time that the incense burned out, the 25,000 Zuotun guards also drove north under the personal leadership of Yun Dingxing, trotting towards the north. At the same time, on the northern battlefield, the army of Jiang Duqin led by Wang Shichong was still moving westward with difficulty, and retreated to lure the Turkic army away from the camp. The main force of the Right Guards led by Liu Changgong blocked the road to the east with powerful Turkic troops, and was forced to shrink its forces, hastily form a square array, and carry the impact of Turkic cavalry from all directions.

Liu Changgong failed to lead the Turkic army further away from the Turkic camp, which was indeed somewhat unexpected by Chen Fuliang, and the reason for this accident was that the Turkic general Na Lun, who was in charge of this battlefield, was short-tempered, and in order to avenge the annihilation of the main force of the right guard, he did not take the best tactic of pursuing and encroaching on Liu Changgong, and chose the wrong tactic of dividing the troops to intercept, although he forced the main force of the right guard to stop running for his life and fight, but it forced the main force of the right guard to the point where he had to fight to the point that he had to fight to the death, and also created an unknown for the entire Yanmen battlefield- If Chen Fuliang's false order fails, then the main force of the Right Guards is likely to really be wiped out.

There is also the battlefield of the partial division on the east bank of the Hutuo River, the right Wuwei partial division that has been attacked before and after has been in full swing with the Turkic army, and the Turkic barbarians who finally seized the opportunity to completely annihilate the Sui army are like two groups of hungry wolves, constantly pounce and rush to kill the north and south ends of the Sui army, although the strength of the narrow road is difficult to deploy, the Turks can not stop the Sui army, they can only rush north and south to compress the Sui army's position, the right Wuwei partial division will not be in danger of collapse for a while and a half, but it is also extremely difficult, the danger is full of life, and the casualties are quite small.

The three battlefields fought fiercely for a while, and the news of the fourth wave of Sui troops going north to reinforce was also sent to Shibi Khan by the Turkic scouts. In such a late night, he dared to send four armies north one after another, did he want to fight a decisive battle with me tonight? ”

"Khan, Chen Yingliang's barbarian son is probably forced to fight this decisive battle with us." Li Er analyzed beside him: "The two reinforcements he sent to Yanmen City were ambushed by us, if he didn't save them, he would definitely be wiped out on both roads, so his prestige would be hit hard, he had no choice but to go all out to rescue his reinforcements and save his face and position, otherwise, when the respected Qu Tutong led Zuo Xiaowei reinforcements to arrive, his position as the commander of King Qin would not be able to sit steadily." ”

Shibi Khan was still wondering whether Li Er's analysis was correct, but Ashina Yu Shot and the others next to him urged: "Khan, let's think about how to deal with the fourth army of the barbarians, whether to send troops to intercept it?" The scouts found that this barbarian army was quite large, and if they were left alone, the two barbarian armies surrounded by us would definitely be rescued by them. ”

"Intercept, of course!" Shibi Khan said viciously: "But not to stop these barbarians to the south of our camp, and when they turn to the west of our camp, give way to the south of Ben Khan's army, and then send troops to intercept them!" Yu She, mud step, you will lead me to lead 50,000 troops out of the camp from the west gate, and when the barbarian army has circled to the west of our camp, immediately rush up and kill all these dog barbarians for me! ”

"Great Khan, is our camp too empty like this?" Zhisi Mistress hurriedly said: "We already have 60,000 troops out of the camp, and another 25,000 troops have been deployed on the east bank of the Hutuo River, plus the strength of the remaining camp and the garrison of the barbarian defenders in Yanmen City, and then send 50,000 troops out of the camp, and the reserves available to us will only be about 50,000." ”

"Then send 40,000 troops, and leave me 60,000 reserves." Shibi Khan nodded, and said even more fiercely: "As long as the opportunity arises, I will take these 60,000 reserves to attack the barbarian camp and kill Chen Yingliang, the dog barbarian!" ”

Ashina Yu Shot and others agreed, and hurriedly went out of the tent to organize the army to attack from the west, and at the same time, Chen Yingliang finally led the main force of Qian Peng and the army of King Qin of Taiyuan out of the camp of the Sui army, lined up in front of the camp gate, and patiently waited for the main Turkic force to go south to fight. ”

Li Jing and Yin Shi Shi nodded together, their expressions all extremely solemn. After fighting with the Turkic army is in full swing, the Turkic barbarians who finally seized the opportunity to completely annihilate the Sui army are like two groups of hungry wolves, constantly pounce and rush to kill the north and south ends of the Sui army, although the strength of the narrow road is difficult to deploy, the Turks can not stop the Sui army team, can only rush north and south to compress the Sui army position, the right Wuwei division will not be in danger of collapse for a while and a half, but it is also extremely difficult, the danger is full of life, and the casualties are quite small.
