The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 281 Chapter 270

This time the old prince personally led the team, with Duan Wuban, Tieniu, Qiu Tianbao, and Jin Zhaoxiong as his assistants, and the two deputy generals stayed in the pass to help Yu Dapeng guard the pass.

As soon as the second watch came, the gate was quietly opened, and the cavalry team of 1 people set off quietly under the leadership of the guide.

Tonight is June [-]th, the night is cool and windy, the prairie is quiet, there is no movement at all, and a waning moon hangs in the sky, adding to the sadness of the prairie.

The nearest Turkic settlement to Dulong Pass is in the southwest direction of Dulong Pass, and it is only 120 miles away from Dulong Pass. At the third watch, this team quietly and quietly surrounded Some of the residents here.

The old prince asked Qiu Tianbao to lead [-] cavalry to occupy the eastern position, and Jin Zhaoxiong led [-] cavalry to ambush the northern position.

Duan Wuji led two thousand cavalry to occupy the western position, and Tieniu led two thousand cavalry to occupy the southern position.

The old prince personally led two thousand cavalry as a reserve team to occupy the rear of Qiu Tianbao's team.

After everything was arranged, it was already close to the fourth watch.

When the old prince saw that everything was ready, he said to the messenger beside him, "Come on, let's shoot the arrow, and we will attack immediately."

After the five sounding arrows passed, the four teams of waiting troops immediately launched the most violent attack, and the team rushed towards the Turkic residence from all directions.

A large number of soldiers of the Sui Dynasty brandished sabers, held bows and arrows and launched a fierce attack on the Turkic garrison!

This was a direct fight with the Turkic people who were patrolling around, and the cries, shouts, and cursing were cut off.

Could the Turkic people in their sleep not be startled by such a big movement?
A large number of Turkic people woke up from their sleep, and people stepped on their horses and rushed out.

However, the cavalry of the Sui Dynasty came too fast, and the patrol team was completely annihilated by the Sui soldiers before they resisted for a long time. Ah, the Turkic people who were directly killed fled around.

The entire battlefield immediately entered a period of chaos, there were cries and shouts everywhere, and there were shouts and killings outside. Suddenly, the entire battlefield entered chaos and chaos.

The Sui army was a well-prepared army, and the murderous nature was on the rise. The Turkic people were on a panic trip, and they were still in shock.

The disparity in combat power between the two sides is obvious at a glance. From the beginning, these Turks were always passive, beaten everywhere, and defensive everywhere. However, the Sui army's offensive was too fierce, and they couldn't defend against it.

Turkic people are constantly being killed, and Turkic people are constantly falling in a pool of blood.

The gloomy cloud of direct killing is bleak and there are few stars, and the blood rain of direct killing is splashing and blowing the wind.

The 2000 cavalry led by Duan Wuji slaughtered indiscriminately, killed one when they saw one, and killed both when they saw two.

The advance speed of the army was very fast, and when the east was about to dawn, the team rushed to the center.

The number of Turkic people who died tragically under Duan Wuji's team had already exceeded 3000. The Turkic people ran away when they saw this team. There were no Turkic people who dared to resist!

The Turkic people who were beheaded by Duan Wuji personally had about [-] people, most of them were solved by Duan Wuji himself when his own cavalry couldn't solve it. This team can now say That is invincible!

Any force is vulnerable to this army.

After the sky became bright and bright, the battle was basically over. Only a thousand Turks broke out from the northeast direction, and the rest were all killed.

Seeing that the battle had been completely won, the old prince was so happy that he couldn't find Bei. The old prince sent an order to clean up the battlefield, take all the captured things with him, and immediately return to the pass.

Everyone also knew that this place could not stay for a long time, everyone quickly cleaned the battlefield, destroyed all the things that could be taken, and all the things that could not be taken, and then quickly withdrew to Dulongguan, waiting for all the teams to withdraw safely. After entering the customs, the old prince's hanging heart was completely let go.

Then, the old prince began to send people to count the spoils this time.

This battle can be said to be a complete victory, and the spoils captured are too much.

In this battle, a total of 890 sheep, 780 five cattle, and 950 two horses were captured.

The seized cloth, food and so on are countless.

When the old prince saw the figures in the newspaper, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

The old prince happily said to Qiu Tianbao: "Tianbao, pass on the order, today we will slaughter a thousand sheep for him, and we will have a three-day holiday to celebrate today's great victory.

At noon, we have meat in everyone's bowl, so that the soldiers can eat as much as they want.

In this battle, the soldiers have sold their strength, so why not eat?

Get the list of all the dead soldiers, and the king will distribute pensions according to the standard of one horse and one cow per family of the dead soldiers. "

Not long after, the list of dead soldiers came up. A total of 390 and seven soldiers of the Sui Dynasty died in battle. The old prince looked at the list and couldn't help but shook his head.

"Hey, how many soldiers of our Great Sui Kingdom died in battle to defend their homes and the country! These people are the elites of our Great Sui Kingdom.

Tianbao, these dead people not only want to give a horse and a cow, but also give them three more sheep for each family. I want to make their families live without worry.

They cannot be left alone for the loss of a son or husband.

You should send Jin Zhaoxiong to do this right away. Fortunately, not many people died in this battle, and the spoils we captured are quite a lot, and we can still get these things out. "

Qiu Tianbao agreed and went out.

At noon, a scent wafted from the entire barracks. The boiled mutton in each barracks was cooked, and a sumptuous lunch was about to begin.

The entire barracks was filled with an atmosphere of joy after victory.

Changping Wang Qiu Rui is in a good mood now!As soon as King Changping saw that it was noon, he immediately ordered several generals who participated in the battle to be invited in, and everyone held a very lively banquet around the table.

At the banquet, everyone eats and drinks enough, so there is no need to mention the joy.

The old prince looked at everyone and said: "This time we fought against the Turks, we won a complete victory, thanks to everyone's efforts, I won't say anything else.

Everyone must be full.

I think after this battle, the remaining Turkic people already know how powerful our army of the Great Sui Dynasty is, and they dare not endanger our border anymore.

Now the old man is completely relieved. "

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Wang's family is thousand years old, why don't we slaughter a thousand sheep a day, I think we should go back to the capital after eating these sheep."

"Really? Wuji! Are you accurate in what you say? If you are so accurate, why don't you set up a hanging beach in our capital!"

"What am I doing with that thing? I don't lack food or drink. How nice it is to stay like this! Why do I need to bother to find other money?
If you don't believe me, just wait and see, I think the imperial edict of the old emperor should come down.

In ten days we should be back. "

The old prince laughed when he heard this.

"Really? Then Wuji tell you your reason."

"Thousands of the Wang family, think about it, you were forced to do this hard work because you were raped by a traitor, if you lose the battle, you will definitely be reprimanded by the old emperor, and you may even lose your life.

However, now that we have gained a firm foothold, and this victory continues, do you think your political opponents will let you show your face here for a long time?

That's impossible.Don't they have to wait until you become popular before transferring you back?
I think that's impossible.The Wang family is thousands of years old, what do you think? "

The old prince laughed out loud.

"Well, Wuji, your analysis is too correct, it is indeed as you said, the old man also thinks so.

Well, this time the old man will listen to you, we will eat meat every day from now on, let's let the soldiers enjoy the blessing with us for a few more days. "

After lunch, all the generals went back to their respective camps to rest.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu also went back to their big tent, and Tie Niu looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Brother, is what you said just now true? Are we really not going to stay here long?"

"Does it need to be said? Brother Tieniu, bless you, you will be able to go home and marry your wife soon. We can play at home again for a while."

Tieniu smiled and said, "Well, it's okay for us to come out this time, but it's just that the fortune is not very prosperous, so we only got such a few things, which is a bit too little."

"It doesn't matter if it's less, why don't we let the old emperor ask for some more?"

"Ah? Will the old emperor give it to us?"

"After going back, if the old emperor rewards those who have made meritorious deeds, can we miss our brothers?

Brother Tieniu, what do you think? "

"Well, there is a certain reason, then let's wait for the old emperor to award our things, then let's go back, if we don't get this little thing back, it's too sorry for our busy work these past few months. "

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Then the two of them sat on the mat and started their own cultivation.
