"Brethren, follow me and attack the tents of the Turks!" Yang Yuanyan, a lieutenant general under Cui Xiantun, rode his horse and galloped, waving the weapon in his hand and shouting loudly to the soldiers behind him.

As Yang Yuanyan shouted, the soldiers behind him also shouted, waving the war knife with a cold light in his hand and rushing to the Turkic camp!

The orders received by the generals before the attack were to storm as deep into the Turkic camp as possible, and strive to capture or kill the Turkic puppet Khan Ashina as soon as possible.

If the thief captures the king first, the enemy chief is destroyed or captured, and the enemy group has no leader and cannot organize effective resistance, it will be very beneficial to our army, and it is a very effective means to achieve a quick victory.

The Khan of the Turks ordered his tribes that if the Khan could be captured or killed, the results of the battle would be twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, before the war, Cui Xiantun ordered his subordinate general Yang Yuanyan, who had relatively good ability, to lead his troops to plunder the camp directly, and attack the depths of the Turkic camp.

In addition to the rapid advance of Yang Yuanyan's troops, the large armies led by the other lieutenant generals also quickly rushed into the Turkic camp in a slightly backward position, and they also did not love to fight, mainly plundering the camp, setting fire to the camp while rushing, and shouting in Chinese and Turkic to make the Turks surrender.

Originally, these Turks all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and if they could lay down their arms and surrender now, the Tang army would not have killed them on a large scale.

The generals led their troops into the camp of the Turks, and the resistance encountered was very weak, which was really unexpected to them, and some of the generals also suspected that the Turks had set up an ambush in the camp, but after they rushed and killed for a while, they did not find anything abnormal, so they were relieved.

In the blink of an eye, fires broke out everywhere in the Turkic camp, and with the rapid onslaught of the Tang cavalry, the scope of the fire was further expanded.

From the other direction, there was also a shouting of killing at about the same time, and there was a fire, and it was a group of about 20,000 people led by Cao Huaishun, who cooperated with the operation, also rushed to camp here.

In addition to one part of Cao Huaishun's division cooperating with Cui Xiantun's army to attack Ashina's camp, the other division of about 20,000 people quickly marched to the northeast, preparing to cooperate with Qiu Shen's army to attack the Turkic Ashdwin Fu department.

Pei Xingjian's war operations were all attacking the Turks from multiple directions, and if each department could resist its own attack position on time and not be discovered by the Turks, the Turks would not be able to support each other, not to mention, their various departments would be wiped out.

For a general like Pei Xingjian, he has always been good at defeating strong enemies with weak troops, but now that he has an advantage in troops, it is much easier to arrange a war.

The leading generals of our army who attacked the Ashina mud and the prostrate department found that the resistance of the Turks was very weak in the process of rushing and killing, and the panicked Turks rarely organized resistance, and many Turks were so frightened that they ran around in the camp, but they rarely saw the Turks resisting.

Yang Yuanyan led his troops as if they had entered a no-man's land, rushing to kill in the Turkic camp, and rushed directly to the depths of the camp. The resistance of the Turks was still minimal, and a large number of people surrendered on their knees, which was somewhat unbelievable.

"General, look!" In the midst of the rapid raid of the camp, one of the guards beside Yang Yuanyan pointed ahead and shouted loudly.

Following the direction pointed by the guard, Yang Yuanyan looked after slowing down his running speed, only to see a lot of Turks rushing over in front of him, still constantly signaling and shouting something.

Yang Yuanyan once again ordered his soldiers to speed up and rush forward, and spread out, outflanking them from both sides.

When he got closer, a clearer voice came: "General Datang, let's give up resistance, don't kill anymore, General Datang, let's give up resistance, don't kill anymore..."

This voice was shouted by many people together, and it was shouted continuously in Chinese, although various voices in the camp were noisy, this voice was still heard by Yang Yuanyan and others.

Although Yang Yuanyan had doubts, it was only natural for the Turks to choose to surrender when our army rushed to the camp, and immediately ordered the thousands of men and horses he led to meet the Turks and surround these Turks who did not have any weapons in their hands.

Several Turkic heads-looking men, escorted by some other unarmed brawny men, quickly ran up, knelt on the ground, and lifted the head of a man in a tray.

At this time, the sergeants led by Yang Yuanyan had already stopped, and Yang Yuanyan ordered his sergeants to come over and bring these people to the front.

An old man and a number of other Turks were brought before Yang Yuanyan, and as soon as the old man arrived in front of Yang Yuanyan, he pleaded very anxiously in fluent Chinese: "General, this is the head of our Khan Ashina... General, we have ordered the whole battalion to give up resistance and surrender to the Tang army, the Khan has been killed, and we ask the general to stop the killing quickly, so as not to kill more Turkic people who are willing to join the Tang Dynasty..."

"Who are you?" Yang Yuanyan pointed the spear in his hand at Ashina Dezhong, and asked loudly, "Who is the head in your hand?" ”

"General Hui, I am the patriarch of the clan Ashina Dezhong, this head is the Khan Ashina mud familiar, this is our Khan's order arrow..."

"Good! Immediately go with Ben General to meet the leading general!" Yang Yuanyan was suspicious, and ordered Ashnadezhong to follow him, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to escort other Turkic leaders to the outside of the camp, and then ordered a sergeant to go to the nearest place to spread the news of the men and horses led by other generals, so that they could rush in.

Yang Yuanyan had dealt with the Turks before, and he also knew some of the surnames of the Turks, and it was not impossible to openly pretend to be a Turkic leader to deceive him like this, but the probability was not great. Especially just rushed to the past, did not encounter decent resistance, and still did not hear the sound of fierce fighting, which is obviously the reason why the Turks did not resist, so they immediately escorted these self-proclaimed Turkic leaders to Cui Xiantun, who commanded the battle, and handed them over to Cui Xiantun to deal with, and the affairs on the battlefield should also obey Cui Xiantun's orders-

In the southeast of Yin Mountain, in the night, a large number of cavalry were advancing in the night.

"General Qiu! After such a rapid march, the brothers are tired, do you want to take a break? One group of centaurs quickly ran up to another group of centaurs standing on the hillside to observe the situation, and asked loudly.

This is an army of tens of thousands led by Qiu Shenxuan, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, who is following Pei Xingjian's order to quickly rush towards the Turkic Asdwin Fu Division.

These horses and horses are moving very fast, even at night it is dark or taking advantage of the night to move forward, the soldiers are tired, no, a Zhonglang general surnamed Jin also ran over to ask Qiu Shenxun, the soldiers need to rest.

This Zhonglang surnamed Jin will be Qiu Shenyun's cronies, and only those who have Qiu Shenyun's trust dare to come over and ask at this time.

Qiu Shenyun shook his head, "No, General Jin, we have already left the itinerary, if we don't catch up quickly, it is possible that we will not be able to reach Asdwin Fu after the attack in several other directions begins, then the opportunity may be missed, we must be punished by the commander, the front is only sixty or seventy miles away from the Turkic camp, we must arrive at the Turkic camp before dawn, and attack the Turks as soon as possible!"

Their army marched on this road, because they crossed a river, and the side of this small river was muddy, because the water flow was rapid, the ice was not good, and they could not cross it, so they could only detour, and it was delayed for half a day, because of this half a day, Qiu Shenqian was very panicked in his heart, for fear that his troops would miss the opportunity to destroy the enemy, and he was punished by Pei Xingjian.

If the other tribes arrive at the Turkic camp first and attack, then there will definitely be a rout, and these routs are likely to flee to the neighboring tribes, then the whereabouts of our army will be discovered by the Turks, and the Turks will be on strict guard, or they will slip away as soon as possible, then the matter will be very bad, not to mention the battle achievements, and they may lose their positions like the previous generals, Xiao Siye, Li Jingjia, and Hua Dazhi, and even have more serious punishments.

Although it is said that Qiu Shenqian was summoned by Wu Zetian before the expedition, with Wu Zetian's secret decree, if the Turks fled because of the missed warplane, Pei Xingjian could enforce military law on the battlefield, and no one would be able to save him at that time.

Therefore, Qiu Shenyun also strictly ordered his subordinates to march at a speed that they could achieve without letting the soldiers tire down.

It was almost midnight, but fortunately there was a moon in the sky, but it was still not as fast as the day, but it was still not as fast as the daylight, not to mention that the army was already very tired, and it was quite difficult to reach the Turkic camp before dawn.

Luckily, the scouts didn't find anything out of the ordinary—

Li Wenxuan, the governor who led the army from Youzhou, and the Zhou Daowu Department, who led the army from Yingzhou, encountered each other through the scouts sent when they crossed the line of the Great Wall.

Li Wenhui and Zhou Daowu also took their subordinate generals to discuss the military situation together, and made arrangements for the march and the attack after arriving at the destination with the strength of the two divisions, and then the two divisions were separated by a distance of dozens of miles, along the northwest direction, to the eastern part of the Yin Mountain.

After the two of them encountered, all the baggage was handed over to the back of about 10,000 men and horses, and the rest of the men and horses each sergeant carried about ten days' rations and traveled lightly, which also made their marching speed speed up a lot, and the daily journey was about 100 miles.

The high-ranking generals, including Li Wenyun and Zhou Daowu, knew that if they were allowed to follow them, they would not be able to reach the eastern part of Yinshan within the specified time and launch a surprise offensive against the Turks.

The cold weather still had a great impact on their march, and Li Wenyun and Zhou Daowu were already a little uneasy because of the impact of the snow in front of them, and they were already a little uneasy, for fear that because of their own reasons, they would not be able to form a ring encirclement of the Turks and miss the opportunity to gather and annihilate the Turks!

Fortunately, it's not far from the location of the camp of the Turkic Asdwin Fubu that I had explored in advance...
