The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 338

afternoon!25 miles to the north of Gaochang City, there is a large camp with [-] Turkic soldiers stationed there.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, there was Ashina Mingjing's corpse. A fist-sized wound pierced through the entire corpse, and his wide-open eyes were full of unimaginable horror.

Ashina Mingyue, who was dressed in military uniform, had an ugly complexion, with a strong murderous intent shining in her eyes, her face was terrifyingly ferocious.

He asked himself that the Western Turks had been quite tolerant and gracious to Gaochang, but the king of Gaochang, Qu Boya, tricked his elder brother and a group of generals in the pretext of hosting a banquet, and then killed them all with extreme cruelty. Simply found.

"Ye Hu, Qu Boya and I have never been in the same heart. He saw that the Sui Dynasty recovered Yiwu County, so he hastily expressed his loyalty to the Sui Dynasty, and cruelly killed the chief. We must take revenge. We must End the battle before the Sui Army and Jing, otherwise there will be accidents!" A general shouted with red eyes, which aroused echoes from the others.

"We must give back to Gaochang, let the strength tell them that the Great Turks are the overlords of the Western Regions!"

"Slaughter Gaochang, let the countries in the Western Regions know the law of the strong who follow me prospers and oppose me perish."

"..."

"boom!"

Ashina Mingyue pulled out the saber at her waist, cut the desk in front of her in half with a slash, and said with a frightening coldness in her eyes, "Tell me the warriors of the Great Turks, who entered Gaochang!" City, don't seal the knife for ten days."

"As ordered!"

The performance of foreign rights is nothing more than women, livestock, and food, and these are all obtained in wars. Gaochang is quite rich in financial resources. In addition to sitting on the Silk Road to facilitate transportation and trade taxes, it is also rich in natural resources. Famous local products There are red salt, white salt, grapes, frozen wine, thorn honey, white flour, cloth and silk fabrics and other specialties that they long for.

The order of 'not sealing the knife for ten days' naturally meant a big grab, and the generals were overjoyed.

order the camp
The huge cheers of "Aw! Aw! Aw" echoed in the barracks.This earth-shattering cry shows that the grassland people are full of destructive wildness in their hearts. They yearn for war and killing, and even more for destruction.

Looking at the majestic army, Ashina Mingyue's face flashed with excitement. He used to be a member of the chanting, but now his status is reversed. He has finally changed from the cheering person to the superior receiving the cheering , loudly said: "If you enter Gaochang City, you will not be able to seal your sword for ten days."

"If you enter Gaochang City, you won't seal your sword for ten days."

Under the leadership of the general, [-] Turkic cavalry rushed to the west of Gaochang City with a momentum of spreading all over the mountains and fields. Gaochang City.

After running for ten miles, they saw [-] Gaochang soldiers lined up neatly in front of them. Although the Gaochang soldiers were on a flat highland, the ground was broken and uneven, with small ravines and small forests everywhere. This terrain had no effect on the infantry. , but it has a great impact on the unscrupulous Turkic cavalry, and the horseshoes will fall into the ravine if they are not careful.

Gao Chang's soldiers set up their formation here, obviously using this terrain as the main battlefield, and they were extremely targeted.

"What a cunning thief!" Ashina Mingyue held her breath, and had the urge to scold her mother, how could they fight in this damn place?
dismount?

That is to promote one's own shortcomings and avoid one's own strengths.

riding battle?

Poor terrain is the natural enemy of cavalry.

"Report!" At this moment, a horse galloped towards the rear, and said in fear: "I report to Ye Hu, the dust and smoke are billowing thirty miles to the north, and nearly [-] Sui cavalry are coming."

After hearing the unfavorable news, everyone's expression changed, and Ashina Mingyue trembled involuntarily.

A general next to him said in a low voice: "Ye Hu, the Sui army and Gaochang soldiers must not be allowed to form a north-south pincer attack, we immediately turned around and rushed northward, rushed out of the Sui army's encirclement at the fastest speed, and withdrew to Khan Futu City. "

All the generals looked at the bright moon of Ashina, anxiously waiting for him to make a decision. After a long time, Ashina shook his head knowingly, "No, we can't go north, we have to fight the Gaochang soldiers immediately!"

The general was shocked and said, "Ye Hu, the ground is uneven, this is not a good place for a decisive battle. Once the Gaochang soldiers hold us back, the Sui army will arrive soon."

"There are many soldiers in the Sui Dynasty, and they have always been full of tricks. They came from the north, so they must be prepared on the road. Moreover, the road to Luo Manshan is difficult and dangerous, and they are easy to be ambushed by them. Now the Gaochang soldiers are coming out in full force. As long as we defeat them, there will be nothing left. Withdraw to the west with no worries." Ashina Mingyue gritted her teeth and said.

Everyone is silent, this is indeed the correct decision.

"Pass my order, the army will line up on the spot, and immediately fight the Gaochang soldiers!" Order after order, the Turkic army began to adjust its team and prepare to charge.

The commander-in-chief of the Gaochang Army was Prince Qu Wentai. When he saw the Turkic army approaching, his expression changed drastically.

The group of female devils in the Sui Dynasty killed all the Turkic soldiers in the court. The insidious Du Ruhui was worried that Gao Chang would not follow his orders, so he returned Ashina Mingjing's body to Ashina Mingyue. At this point, what can Gao Chang do? manage?
Naturally, he obediently obeyed the arrangement of the Sui army.

However, the Sui army did not do too much. After they selected the terrain for the decisive battle, they set out two conditions: a frontal confrontation and a cover-up kill, and asked Gao Chang to choose one.

The terrain in front of him is extremely unfavorable for cavalry to fight. With the same enemy soldiers at the front and rear, if Qu Wentai was the Turkic general, he would definitely turn around and go to the [-] Sui troops attacking from behind, because the flat terrain in the north is good for cavalry to fight.That's why Qu Wentai chose to confront them head-on without hesitation, but what he never imagined in his wildest dreams was that Ashina Mingyue, whether he was stupid or something, actually came to kill Gao Changbing at them.

He really didn't understand, how could this person named Mingyue have such a big difference in intelligence?

"His Royal Highness, the Turkic people are here." Qu Yan also had a bitter expression on his face, and he couldn't understand why Ashina Mingyue was usually such a shrewd person, so why did she faint?Could it be that he really wants to avenge the killing of his brother?This is not like ah.Because Ana Shi Mingyue once said after drinking that she wanted to replace Ashina Mirror.

At this time, in order to fight decisively in this terrain, the Gaochang soldiers who did not come on horseback had no way to retreat.

Yin Mingyue, who was in charge of supervision, glanced at the hesitant Qu Wentai, and said coldly: "I don't care about Da Sui, I can leave calmly. But there is no way out for you! If you don't want to die, you can only go forward and kill The confrontation is your own choice, no one can blame you."

"Let's fight!" Qu Wentai gritted his teeth, pulled out the sword from his waist, with a look of ferocity on his face.He knew that if he gave the order to retreat, he would have to be run over by the Turkic cavalry.

Following Qu Wentai's order, Gaochang soldiers met the onslaught of the Turkic army. Most of them were Han people with Hu blood, and their deployment was the traditional combat method of the Central Plains army. 'Woo-oo--'

The horns of the Turkic army whimpered, and the killing sounded loudly,
Ashina Mingyue swung her saber, "Kill!"

Ten thousand cavalry came out first, and the sound of horseshoes was earth-shattering. After a distance of one mile, another ten thousand cavalry also came out.The diffuse yellow dust covered the sky, overwhelming the Gaochang soldiers.

"Fire the arrow!" Qu Wentai ordered viciously, "Shoot hard for me, shoot hard! Don't be afraid of waste."

Amidst the earth-shattering sound of horseshoes and shouts, his voice of command was drowned out. A guard rode on a horse and raised the banner high, attracting everyone's attention.

As the flag in his hand waved down, only the sound of a crossbow was heard, and the black arrows soared into the sky, piercing into the void filled with yellow dust, and then the second and third rows of archers also shot out. With three rows of arrows in one round, the crossbow arrows were like a woven arrow net, overwhelming the Turkic cavalry.

There were screams everywhere in the yellow dust, and people kept getting shot.But the Turkic people knew that they were slow to take a step, and they were killed by their fellow robes, so they could only rush forward under the rain of arrows. As long as they got closer, they could kill these damned Gaochang people.The Turkic soldiers, who were all like this, were extremely tenacious. They rode their horses regardless of life and death. At this time, the second round of arrows from the Gaochang soldiers also shot out immediately. In the dense army formation, pieces of Turkic cavalry fell down with arrows, horses hissed miserably, soldiers wailed, and Turkic forwards suffered extremely heavy casualties.

In just two rounds of arrow rain, more than 3000 Turkic cavalry fell from the arrows. However, the Turkic soldiers rushed forward and swept in after a while. Their goal was very clear, to enter the enemy's formation and destroy the arrow formation.

at last!

The two armies collided fiercely. The Gaochang soldier at the front died tragically in this collision. His body was torn apart, his helmet and broken spears flew into the sky, and many corpses were thrown into the air, with debris everywhere. .

Screams and cries came and went, yellow smoke filled the air, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was disgusting. In just an instant, this place of decisive battle was like a purgatory on earth...

On the other side of the forest, Su Dingfang looked indifferently at the two armies who were sacrificing their lives, with an indifferent expression on his face.

He came up with the method of blocking the front and attacking later, and the purpose was to deal with the Gaochang army. As he expected, Gaochang chose to confront the Turkic army in an attempt to scare off the Turkic army by taking advantage of the unfavorable terrain of the cavalry, thereby saving the Gaochang army. But how can he, Su Dingfang, be so talkative?

After the Gaochang soldiers made their choice, he led his army to deploy to the north of Gaochang City. First, he let [-] cavalry soldiers, one man and two horses, tie branches and drag behind the Turkic army, thus creating a force of [-] troops. Successfully forced the Turkic soldiers to the battlefield against Gaochang.Then he led an army of [-] in ambush here, and sat and watched the two armies fight.

"General, Gao Changbing is very tenacious!" A school lieutenant on the side said in surprise.

"That's why the Gaochang soldiers are exhausted!" Su Dingfang looked at the Gaochang soldiers who were about to lose their strength, and replied without turning his head.

At this time, the Gaochang army suffered heavy casualties under the powerful Turkic cavalry attack. Finally, the remaining soldiers could not withstand the strong pressure of the Turkic soldiers, and turned their heads and fled westward. cavalry.

Qu Wentai was furious. He raised his spear and stabbed the first soldier who had fled back to death. His own soldiers also attacked and stabbed dozens of deserters to death, forcing them to turn around and fight. Each of you lived here, grew up here, and your family is here... Now, if you retire, your wives, children, parents and brothers, everything you have and cherish will be gone. Do you agree? "

"No promise! No promise!!"

The soldiers of Gaochang roared like giant beasts, their courage multiplied in the roar that shook the world, countless blood-stained swords flashed under the sky.This sudden courage actually pushed back the power of the Turkic soldiers.

"Let our army attack!" Seeing that it was almost done, Su Dingfang gave the order to attack.

Dozens of soldiers blew their horns, and the Sui cavalry who had already lined up behind the formation raised their spears, "——kill!!"

The torrent was unstoppable, rushing towards the back of the Turkic soldiers.

The momentum was like thunder, and the horseshoes stomped the gravel.All of a sudden, the iron cavalry rushing straight through penetrated the crowd, and countless people were knocked into the air, setting off countless waves of blood.The momentum of looking down at the world fills every corner of the world, as if it wants to sweep everything and drown everything.

When Qu Wentai saw that the reinforcements had finally arrived, he was overjoyed and said, "Warriors, the Sui reinforcements have arrived, kill me hard!"

Under the protection of a group of personal guards, he went out together with Qu Yan.Yin Lianyi, who didn't know how to easily kill the enemy, stared at him with a deadly gaze.

In the jungle, a soldier handed several arrows to Su Dingfang: "General, the Turkic arrows!"

"One is enough!"

Su Dingfang took an arrow, watched it carefully, and took out his three-stone riding bow from the horse. He stretched the bow and set it on the arrow. The bow was like a full moon, and the cold arrow pointed at Qu Wentai. Only a loud bang of 'collapse' was heard, and the arrow shot out of the string, shooting towards Qu Wentai with the momentum of splitting gold and cracking stones.

If Qu Wentai felt something, when he raised his head, a cold arrow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, but it was too late to dodge, the guards next to him only heard a "poof", and an arrow pierced through their crown prince's eyebrows , red and white brains splattered everywhere, the arrow point pierced through the back of his head, Qu Wentai fell on his back with his mouth open.

The sudden turn of events caused confusion among his personal guards, and most of the soldiers were shocked out of their wits.

Su Dingfang laughed, feeling that he had grown up so much that he had never enjoyed it now.

Hunting and killing the prince is really his (mother's) pleasure.

……

"It's more insidious than Yin!" Yin Mingyue, who was standing with a lance, sighed, and led a group of female soldiers to ride forward, but a Turkic man rushed forward and stabbed him to death with a lance. In this limited space, The crossbow and arrow combined with the bow and arrow created a whirlwind of death. In less than a few breaths, more than 300 Turkic people fell in a pool of blood.
