Chapter 25: Total War
Sha Bo Luo Khan came out of the camp early in the morning, because the winter snow melted, the cold did not decrease, but the place where the sun was exposed was much warmer, stretched out and asked his subordinates: "Have the people of the Sui Dynasty sent supplies over, it has been a few days, if the next batch of supplies is not available, threaten them again, the people of the Sui Dynasty do things with real ink, don't I just want to add a woman to the transaction?" How can we talk for so long. ”
During this period of time, the Turks had received a lot of good resources from Yu Dehuai's hands, which could not make the whole army rich, but with their own food and grass so that they would not starve, and they also sent some things to Sha Bo Luo Khan, which made him very happy.
At this time, he felt that it was so easy to hang the Central Plains people all the time and take something from time to time, no wonder the ancestors did this.
Liu Wu came to Sha Bo Luo Khan early on Monday and said: "Khan, now that the winter snow has melted, you should sign peace terms with the Sui Dynasty as soon as possible, and then return to the grassland." ”
"What's the hurry? The Sui Dynasty has good food and drink, and we can't ......."
At this time, the panicked Turkic soldiers ran in: "The khan is not good, it is not good...... "
"Something to say, what's wrong?"
"The Sui army is coming, the Khan Sui army is coming."
Sha Bo slightly Khan smiled nonchalantly: "What is there to panic about when the Sui army comes, that is, they are here to send us cattle and sheep grain, and how many things they have brought." ”
"It's not the Khan, the cavalry of the Sui army is coming, mighty, coming from the front, from the left and right, all over the mountains, and the last generals can't be counted."
"What?"
At this time, Sha Bo Luo Khan panicked and muttered to himself: "How can the Sui Dynasty have the courage to attack us, impossible, impossible!" ”
In his mind, how could the Sui Dynasty, which was so cowardly, have the courage to attack him, he could not believe it, but the facts were in front of him.
"Khan, what should I do?"
After a brief period of panic, Shabalu Khan urgently ordered: "Let all the teams quickly organize and prepare to meet the Sui army." ”
"I'm still stunned to do something, go quickly."
Liu Wuzhou hurriedly offered a plan at this time: "Khan, the Great Sui army is pressing, it is definitely not a strategy of the morning and night, while there is still time to retreat with the army, the Sui army has always been the principle of poor and not chasing, they should not chase very far, as long as we can resist a distance, they will definitely retreat." ”
"Run? When did we Turks run away when we Turks met the Central Plains? Can you still beat them? ”
Liu Wuzhou was a little speechless for this violent Turkic khan, thinking to himself Have you really forgotten the previous situation? The previous attack on Shuozhou City was beaten by King Wei, and it was difficult to advance an inch, and he lost the battle in a row, so what is the use of being reckless.
"Khan, your safety is the most important thing, keep you safe first."
"I want to see how many people the Sui Dynasty can send to fight us, not many people can be organized for such a sudden attack, and besides, King Wei and Yu Dehuai have an unpleasant quarrel, it is obviously unwise for him to attack rashly, Yu Dehuai will not help him."
Liu Wuzhou stopped talking, and at this time he realized that during this period of time, they knew too little about the internal situation of the Sui Dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel numb when he thought of the matter of negotiating peace.
At this time, he noticed that if Yu Dehuai and King Wei were really at odds, then King Wei would definitely send a message to the court for such a long time, according to King Wei's status in the Sui Dynasty, could a guard of Yanmen Pass really be able to confront him?
They just want to drag, drag it until now.
It's just that it's too late to react at this time, and the cavalry of the Great Sui has already killed them from a distance.
Before anyone arrived, the guns started first, and the cavalry in the front row were all equipped with arquebuses, muskets in the front, and bows and arrows in the rear.
In the past few months, the arsenal in Daxing City has not been idle, Yang Guang himself has not gone back, the scale has expanded twenty times, and the era when only fifty or sixty guns could be made in a month is gone.
After the emperor knew the power of the musket, he would directly give the land, money, and people, as long as he could produce it for me.
At this time, the musketeers in the front row slammed with their new weapons.
The Turks used to charge the enemy with cavalry, but this was the first time they felt the feeling of being charged by cavalry.
The cavalry of the Great Sui attacked in three directions, and the Turkic cavalry was not good at fighting defensive battles.
A Turkic man who fought face to face was defeated.
Laihu'er rushed into the enemy formation, his goal was very clear, and he shouted: "Where is the little Turkic khan, your grandfather is here, come out quickly and die." ”
Laihu'er laughed loudly, waving his spear to hit the tiger.
Qin Qiong also rushed into the Turkic array, holding a dragon gong with a dignified face, looking around, looking for someone else or his sworn brother, Liu Wuzhou.
Now Qin Qiong has only one thought, others can ignore it, Liu Wuzhou must find it.
Shabalu Khan was at the rear of the army, and when he saw that the Sui army was so fierce, he immediately ordered a retreat.
"Withdraw, retreat quickly, the Sui army can only attack from the front and the left and right sides, we retreat, fortify along the road, and snipe the Sui army."
The sound of killing sounded, and the sound shook the sky, and it was not until the afternoon that it stopped.
In just one day, the Sui army captured the camp of the Turks here, most of the Turks retreated and fled, Yang Shuang, as the commander, did not stop but ordered: "Come to protect Zhang Xutuo, lead your troops to continue the pursuit, you must find Yang Yichen's rear interception part, front and back." ”
"The last will obey."
The two continued to chase non-stop, and Yang Shuang glanced at the Turkic camp: "Count the casualties, escort the Turkic prisoners back to Shuozhou and hand them over to the King of Jin to deal with, and the rest of our army will continue to advance, not giving the Turks a chance to breathe." ”
Everyone raised their arms and shouted in unison, and the momentum was high.
……
Yang Guang looked at the more than 1,000 Turkic captives who were escorted back, and he didn't expect that such a feat could be established in this day.
Now how to deal with this group of prisoners is also a problem, the soldiers and civilians at the border pass hate the Turks to the core, and when they see this group of people, they can't help but want to scrape them all alive.
This is because Yang Guang has no interest in abusing prisoners, and it doesn't hurt to kill them, after all, there are no prisoners with special exchange value among them, just for their own reputation, they can't be killed.
Or the reputation of the court, the matter of killing prisoners will definitely make the ministers of the court talk about it, just like killing 400,000 people in Baiqikeng and being nagged for thousands of years, the murder will be counted on the head of Ling, and some pedantic ministers in the court don't care what reason you have.
Yang Guang suddenly smiled and said to Wang Yi beside him: "Wang Yi sent a letter to Gao Hongde, asking him to prepare a letter to his father in the name of the Jin Palace, even if we now have more than 1,500 Turkic prisoners, and there is a shortage of food at the border gates, I hope to send it to Daxing City for processing." ”
Wang Yi said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is not good." ”
"It's not really sent back, I just want to see what kind of attitude the ministers have towards the Turkic captives, and see what they think, in the future, we will have a lot of foreign captives."
"The slave obeys."
After arranging this matter, Yang Guang really had a headache How to arrange this group of Turkic prisoners, there are too many people, it must be chaotic when they gather together, and if they are detained, there is no such a big place in the city to detain, so they have to be dispersed.
Yuan Tiantian said to Yang Guang: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, when do you say this war will end?" ”
"There are so many Turks, even if we stand and let us kill, and we have to kill for more than ten days, unless the Turks surrender themselves, it is estimated that the time will not be short."
Things were just as Yang Guang expected, the pursued Turks showed the ferocity of the steppe people, and fought hard against the Sui army, although they were defeated and retreated, but the Sui army still could not break through the defense line from the frontal battlefield to achieve a real victory.
In this way, on the sixth day, the Khan of Shabalu still led his troops to retreat, but at this time he received a report from the sergeant: "Khan, there is a Sui army in the rear." ”
"What, how did the Sui army go around to the rear of our army, probe again, see how many people there are, and the whole army rushed over."
The soldier trembled, and Sha Bolu Khan immediately raised his leg and gave a kick: "What are you panicking, it's just a small group of Sui troops to outflank them, their large army is in front, what are the small troops afraid of?" ”
"Yes...... Khan, not a small army, the Sui army all over the mountains has already established a defensive position, look at this number, it is not less than the number of Sui troops on the front. ”
"How is that possible? How could so many Sui troops suddenly appear? ”
Shabalu Khan couldn't believe that such a thing could happen, but once again the facts were in front of him.
After confirming that there were indeed a large number of followers, Sha Bo Luo Khan suddenly felt a sense of decay invade his whole body, and he only felt sore and weak.
Liu Wuzhou held him and said: "Khan, now is not the time to be discouraged, we have to rush out, the front and back are flanked by the Sui army, we will lead people to concentrate on attacking a point in the rear, and then we will kill it first." ”
"What if you kill it? Can we kill the front and back? ”
"The Khan is not afraid of no firewood to burn, as long as you run out, you will definitely be able to reorganize the old department and make a comeback, this is not the time for the Khan to be discouraged!"
When Liu Wuzhou said this, Sha Boluo Khan cheered up: "Yes, yes, we break through, the whole army breaks through." ”
Liu Wuzhou immediately received the order, now is the moment of Turkic crisis, but also the moment when he gains the trust of the Turkic Khan, since he has rebelled in his heart, he can only go one way to the dark, if he can help the Turkic Khan break through, he will be reused in the future.
Yang Yichen led the ambushed army to ambush on the predetermined route, and when he saw the Turkic troops appear, Yang Yichen did not hesitate to directly give the order to attack, and did not sit still, but took the initiative to attack.
Yang Shuang, who was pursuing, got the news and ordered the whole army: "Our ambush force has been contacted, and now the whole army is attacking." ”
"Kill!"
