The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 344
On the grassland from Qinghe to the east, there is a bare road, which is the road trodden by tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, and war horses going back and forth between the Western Turkic Front Army and the logistics camp.

On this main road, there are grain transport teams driving tens of thousands of cattle and sheep eastward every day. There is still a distance of three hundred miles from the Qinghe logistics camp to the former army camp. In the village, there is an overwhelming and mighty team of cattle and sheep.

It's noon this day.On the prairie about [-] miles away from Qinghe, a Turkic army escorting food was resting and eating.

This time, the 25 troops who accompanied Yehu Khan to the east were not all Turkic people. Among them were servants from various countries in the Western Regions, and there were also many Tiele people.At the beginning, Turkic was split into east and west. Some Tiele people moved eastward and belonged to the eastern Turkic people. Some continued to live on the prairie west of Jinshan and were annexed by Tongye Hu. Now there are about [-] troops in front of Tongye. Driven by protection.

The [-] troops in charge of logistics are also the Tiele Army. They have lived in this area, not only are they familiar with the terrain here, they even provide the food for the army.

Here is deep in the prairie, their enemies are only wild wolves on the prairie, Tiele soldiers are not vigilant at all, they let a large herd of cattle and sheep graze happily and leisurely, soldiers and herdsmen lie on the prairie to rest, some shout Breathing into sleep, some looked at the sky boredly.Some people gathered together to discuss the eternal topics of men - women and beauties. When it comes to joy, everyone burst into bursts of wild laughter from time to time.

At this time, a row of small black spots appeared on the grassy hill in the distance. They rushed down the grassy hill and rushed towards this side. A large group of black spots kept pouring out of the grassy hill. It was a total of [-] Sui cavalry.

The fierce hoofbeats immediately alarmed the leisurely soldiers. Many people quickly got up and looked into the distance. When they saw the red flag clearly, they shouted and shouted. The herdsmen gathered their cattle and sheep and fled eastward urgently.

Three thousand Sui army cavalry roared to them, shooting dense arrows at Tiele soldiers, and the enemy soldiers screamed and fell off their horses; the other more than 1000 Sui troops chased after the herdsmen. It is not a regular army, and its equipment is far inferior to the well-equipped Sui army. In a short while, the herdsmen were killed one after another, and the screams rang out in an instant. The rest of the herdsmen were scared out of their wits. .

The Sui army did not chase after them. They slaughtered the cattle and sheep, and the blood stained the grass. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 1000 Tiele soldiers began to lose their strength. After escaping from the battlefield, the Sui army chased and killed them for dozens of miles, and with the [-] Sui troops scattered in all directions, they killed the rout army completely.

When the raging fire burning the corpses of men, horses, cattle and sheep ignited, Fan Ze gave an order, and the soldiers of the Sui army turned their horses and headed west to meet the second grain transport team.

Within one day and one night, three food delivery teams on the road were slaughtered, which meant that the 25 troops in the east would be without food for three to four days.Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the logistics army dispatched 6000 food escort teams to the east to protect the other four food teams. At the same time, they changed the food delivery plan, increased the number of escort troops to 6000, and increased the number of cattle and sheep to 25. Head, this is the consumption of 25 troops for three to four days.

The army of the logistics battalion quickly decreased, and Qin Qiong's [-] main force lurked like a pack of prairie wolves, waiting patiently for an opportunity.

On the third day, another team of 6000 people set off to escort 20 cattle and sheep, which made the number of troops in the logistics camp less than 1. The opportunity Qin Qiong was waiting for finally arrived.

At night, Qin Qiong led [-] cavalrymen to wait ten miles north of the camp. The cold moonlight shone on the Sui cavalrymen, adding a chilling air to them.

Qin Qiong, with iron helmet and iron armor, holding a tiger-head chiseled golden gun in his hand, and a pair of tile-faced gold maces on his back, was at the forefront of the team, watching the situation in the barracks indifferently.

As the Sui army successively attacked the grain transportation team, the chief general in charge of logistics security, Tiele's servant Siye sent someone to report to Tong Yehu Khan, and at the same time he also strengthened and shrunk the defense line. He compressed the originally sixteen-mile-wide battalion into Bali, which is convenient for the army to patrol and control.Every night, ten centurions patrolled back and forth to prevent the Sui army from attacking at night, but even so, the huge number of millions of livestock still prevented them from covering everything.

At one watch, shouts suddenly erupted from the camp in the east, and then the flames rushed to kill. A Sui army cavalry rushed into the camp. They lit the tents and killed everyone they met.

Pu Siye hurriedly led five thousand cavalry to fight. They galloped eastward, while the herdsmen fled westward and northward.And just as they were heading west to fight, a [-] Sui army from the south also killed them.

At this time, on the grassland ten miles to the north, Qin Qiong saw the flames. He pointed his spear at the camp and ordered loudly: "Whether male, female, old or young, no one will be left behind."

Five thousand cavalrymen suddenly mobilized and galloped towards the Turkic camp. After a while, the Sui cavalry entered the northern camp, killing the heads of the herdsmen, and blood flowed into rivers. Prairie night sky.

Amidst the heart-piercing screams of stumped limbs and broken arms, Qin Qiong galloped freely, and the four or five Tie Le soldiers who were shrouded in Senhan's spears didn't even have a chance to scream, and they were swept away The gun blade was smashed to pieces, and the thick gun flower looked very beautiful, but it was only when faced with it that it was terrifying. Even if it was only slightly brushed, it could bring up a piece of stumped limbs and broken arms.

"Ow! Ow!"

The Tiele soldiers who reacted let out a roar, and rushed towards the sudden attack of the devils. However, before the encirclement was formed, the guns that were like dots of cold stars had already burst out. Amid the sound of bone shattering, the soldiers vomited blood and were knocked out.

Qin Qiong is the commander-in-chief of this army, and he has to suppress his personal abilities for the sake of the overall situation, but as the most powerful man of this era, the bravery in his heart has never faded, but it has become more and more serious as time goes by, Now that the encirclement has been completed, he can finally let go of his post of coach and indulge in killing.

"Boom~"

It wasn't until he tore a huge hole in the Turkic camp that the sound of rumbling horseshoes became clear. The Sui army who came after that broke into the camp like a torrent of steel in the flames. The enemy army who had just been frightened by Qin Qiong The soldiers were directly annihilated by the rushing torrent, and before they could even resist, they were trampled into minced meat by countless galloping horseshoes.The charge of the Sui army did not stop there, but continued to charge forward under the leadership of Qin Qiong.

Tents were washed away along the way, and some soldiers who woke up from their sleep were trampled by ruthless iron hooves before they could understand what was going on. Even if some powerful warriors reacted, they didn't have to face this overwhelming cavalry. any way.At this moment, the individual's strength is as small as a drop in the ocean, without even stirring up a ripple, it is completely buried under the horse's hoof.

It took less than a moment from the Sui army's attack to the camp on three sides, but most of the camp and thousands of soldiers and herdsmen were gone.

The burly Pu Siye ignored the fleeing livestock and herdsmen, but gathered the surviving soldiers, let out a mournful roar, and aimed his angry eyes fiercely at the "Sui" banner waving in the wind. Among them, the big flag was particularly shining.

"General Sui on the opposite side, I am willing to surrender." Pu Siye rode out and said to Qin Qiong in blunt Chinese.

Qin Qiong didn't answer, and under Cheng Yaojin's and Xie Yingdeng's astonished gazes, he thrust the tiger-headed golden spear into the ground, took off his riding bow, bent the bow and mounted an arrow, and without waiting for any reaction from the person opposite, a sharp arrow shot It had already broken through the air, tore through the space barrier in an instant, and exploded Pu Siye's head in a brainstorm.

"kill!"

Amidst the drumming and noise, angry Tiele soldiers charged towards this side. Following Qin Qiong's order, locust-like arrows shot up from the ground, and fell quickly after a short flight. The remaining hundreds of warriors and herdsmen , became a corpse.

Cheng Yaojin swallowed in horror. Although he is also a regular general of the imperial court and participated in fierce battles with Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong's cruel tactics of taking no prisoners still kept impacting his world view.

"Whether male, female, old or young, kill them all!" Qin Qiong retracted her strong bow, regained her tiger-headed chiseled golden gun, and calmly issued a chilling order.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Amidst the howls, the Sui army rushed towards the trembling crowd like hungry wolves and a whirlwind, and a new round of killing continued amidst the screams.

Qin Qiong didn't participate in the culling, so it was unnecessary.

Xie Yingdeng and Cheng Yaojin didn't go either. Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Qiong with a dazed and angry look: "General Qin, this...is it too late?"

Killing captives who surrendered, in his opinion, was too inhuman.

Xie Yingdeng opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. Unlike Cheng Yaojin, who was born and raised in Qilu, he was taken by his uncle Xie Hong to travel around the world since he was a child, and the northern land is undoubtedly one of the places he traveled. , and therefore understand Qin Qiong, and know the reason for Qin Qiong's cruelty.

"If you have a chance, go to Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, and the northernmost part of Youzhou, and ask the local elders, and you may understand." Qin Qiong glanced at the ugly Cheng Yaojin, with an extremely cold expression, that's not true. The words with the slightest emotion were mixed in the somewhat cold night wind.

"Bite gold..." Xie Yingdeng looked at Cheng Yaojin's angry face, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "In a civil war, one's own people fight against one's own people. If there is a choice, no one is willing to cut a sharp blade at his fellow countrymen. , This is also the reason why the rule of not killing prisoners exists. The national war is different, you just treat the aliens as beasts."

"What's the difference? Is benevolence and righteousness bad?" Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to get angry at Qin Qiong. The invisible evil spirit made him unable to get angry, but he didn't feel this way when facing Xie Yingdeng who had been with him for a long time. He almost growled Said these words.

"Benevolence, righteousness and morality are not bad, but you have to look at who the other party is and what they are doing. Small mistakes and minor faults can be forgiven. Facing heinous people like Turks and Tie Le, there is only one word to kill...the only way is to kill them." If you are afraid, they will listen to your benevolence and righteousness." Xie Yingdeng sighed and smiled bitterly: "They are wolves. If you have benevolence towards wolves, you will be eaten by wolves sooner or later. As long as possible, you can't let them have revenge. Opportunity! During the Battle of Yanmen that year, the land of Bingzhou to the north of Xinkou was killed thousands of miles away by the Turks. Dingxiang and Mayi, with a population of nearly one million, were driven to extinction by the Turks. Therefore, there can be no mercy in foreign wars. It's not like a civil war."

"A million people?" Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded.

"Of course a million people will not die. Those who survived by chance were all taken into slavery by the Turks. Since our strong rise in the Sui Dynasty, we have rescued 70 to [-] of our fellow clans one after another!" Qin Qiong said lightly: " Pass the order down, kill without mercy!"

"Here!"

"...here!"

……

In August, [-] Sui soldiers under the leadership of general Qin Qiong attacked the Turkic logistics center and killed more than [-] enemies. Millions of livestock were driven into Yiwu County.

Wei Yunqi and Niu Jinda sent troops to the prairie north of Baishan (Tianshan Mountain), completely destroying the logistics center of the 25 Turkic army.
