The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 345

"His Royal Highness, Tong Yehu led the Turkic army to march eastward, and the cavalry is boundless!" In the early morning of the next day, the scouts of the Sui army immediately passed the news of the Turkic eastward advance to Yang Tong.

"It should be because I know that the old nest has been taken away! I am eager for a decisive battle!"

"Sooner than expected!"

"Your Highness, give the order!"

The generals of the Great Sui Dynasty, who had already been prepared, immediately looked at Yang Yu who was sitting on the main seat, all of them were full of fighting spirit.

Yang Tong smiled coldly: "Tear down the big camp, return to the old camp, and let them attack."

Tong Yehu Khan obviously knew that his old nest was taken away, and knowing that it was too late to return to the army to save him, he simply decided to defeat himself, and then returned to the army without any worries.But Yang Tong was unwilling to fight the Western Turks. The Turkic Army had 25 cavalry, and Yang Tong was not sure of victory, so it was the best choice to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses.

He was going to retreat eastward to the previous camp, using the geographical advantages of the old camp to kill as much as possible of the enemy's vital force and weaken the enemy's strength and morale.Do not attack until the last moment to completely annihilate this Western Turkic army.

Moreover, the further east the Western Turks went, the longer their supply line would be. As long as Qin Qiong cut it off from behind, Tong Yehu Khan would face a food crisis, and could only evacuate if he couldn't hold on.It is more than 100 miles from here to the old camp, which undoubtedly gave the Sui army an additional attack range of more than 100 miles.

"Uh?"

All the generals were a little dumbfounded by Yang Tong's decision.

Yang Tong smiled and said to the crowd: "If I were Tong Yehu Khan, when I heard that the old nest was taken away, I would take the lead in ensuring the safety of myself and the grain road, and then judge the situation and launch a thunderous blow against the enemy. We will never give the opponent a chance to destroy the food road. If the news of their lair being taken away spreads among the army, the morale of the army will fade away, and this battle will lose three points in terms of momentum first; With his supply route, the army is not far from collapse."

Shen Guang suddenly smiled and said: "Your Highness is right. Combat lies in making use of strengths and avoiding weaknesses. The strength of cavalry lies in its strong impact and strong mobility. It cannot be left at once. The shortcoming of cavalry lies in abandoning horses to attack the city and confronting the enemy for a long time. This time the Turks fought against our army. Since our army set up camp here, they have continued to attack the city. The power of the cavalry has never been used. The failure of the Western Turks actually started from the moment they confronted us. Doomed."

Pei Xingyan also understood, and said with a big laugh: "The root cause still lies in Tong Yehu Khan, who is quite a remarkable figure. , he conquers the enemy, and he is always invincible. After a series of victories, he inevitably developed arrogance and conceit. He couldn't accept the reality of failure, so he wanted to get back his position from His Highness.

Speaking of this, Pei Xingyan's thoughts gradually became clear. He continued: "Khan Tong Yehu's arrogance made him lose his mind, so he couldn't see the overall situation. At that time, Khan Shibi's 40 army besieged Yanmen, and the army of the King of Qin killed him that day. It is said that Shibi Khan knew that the governor could not do anything, and retreated with the trend. This is the overall situation. But Tong Yehu Khan was short-sighted. He knew that our army was well prepared and that the country had suffered heavy losses. Deep, this is the performance of not understanding the overall situation. Such a person is the master of the Western Turks, and God favors the Great Sui."

These words lifted the spirits of the generals, and they were gearing up one after another, wishing they could go into battle immediately and fight the Turkic army.

"When he knows that our military strength is inferior to his, he will definitely attack crazily." Yu Chigong grinned, and continued: "After our military camp is reduced by half, the defense will be comprehensive and its power will double. If we don't completely destroy the Western Turkic army's combat power If we run out, we must not take a step out of the camp."

Luo Shixin sees that everyone has something to say, but he is like a slut, very shameless. He looked at Yang Tong, his heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile: "There will be a plan in the end, and it may be possible to wipe out Xi'an at a very low cost. Part of the power of the Turks."

Yang Tong raised his eyebrows, looked at Luo Shixin with a smile in his eyes, and raised his chin: "Let's listen."

"Since we are going to leave, we can set traps in the camp! Then leave them an empty camp, even if we can't wipe them out, we can also seriously injure them." Luo Shixin said excitedly.

"Interesting!" Yang Tong laughed, if so, there is some chance.After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Then, how can we let them live in?"

"This..." Luo Shixin couldn't come up with it, and this idea was just a flash of inspiration. As for how to operate... Luo Shixin really couldn't figure it out for a while.

On the side, Xue Wanche's heart moved, he looked at Yang Tong and said, "Your Highness, the last general has thought of something."

"What's the matter?"

"The last general was a soldier of his father back then, and was fortunate to participate in the Battle of Tuyuhun. My father was the chief general of the Lu Dajun. They began hanging sheep and beating drums. My father had already withdrawn his troops to rectify the results of the battle, but when he heard the sound of the drums going on all night, he became suspicious. Before he retreated completely, my late father immediately mobilized his troops to pursue and killed him." Xue Wanche said with a smile.

"You mean..." Yang Tong's eyes lit up.

"We did it for the sake of our way. We intentionally exposed our flaws and led the Western Turkic army to attack. Our army attacked them unprepared and defeated them in one battle." Luo Shixin said excitedly.

Yang Tong suddenly showed emotion, he didn't want to fight because he was afraid of too much loss, but if he could break off an arm of the Western Turks at a very small price, it would be extremely beneficial to the next battle, and the strength of the Western Turks would be weaker. , but also completely anger Tong Yehu Khan.

"Okay, let's act according to plan!"

After thinking for a while, Yang Tong decided that although it was risky, with the strength of him, Shen Guang, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Yu Chigong, Xue Wanche, and Sui Iron Cavalry, as well as mental arithmetic and unintentional, this battle had a great chance of winning.

At the moment, discussing how to ambush on the prairie is the biggest difficulty, and then how to lure the Western Turks into the urn.

Everyone worked together and tried their best to perfect this strategy.

……

In the evening, the Western Turks set up camp ten miles away from the Sui Army's camp!As for the camp of the Sui army, the drums kept ringing non-stop.

"Great Khan, we must have a lot more troops than the Sui army. Why don't we attack the camp directly?"

"Yes! If this continues, the country will not know what it will be like."

The generals of the worried tribe were very dissatisfied with Khan Tongyehu's failure to immediately attack the camp. At this time, they no longer ignored Khan Tongyehu's authority and questioned him one after another.

"It's getting late, and we don't have much time to attack the camp. I don't want to retreat because of darkness before the break, and start from the beginning again tomorrow. Repeating this will inevitably cause great casualties. So we must The attack requires the energy to conquer it at one time, and we must not give the Sui army a chance to breathe." A cold light flashed in Tong Yehu Khan's eyes: "We not only want to defeat the Sui army this time, but also take down Yang Tong. The head, as long as he dies, the Sui Kingdom will be in chaos, and we will take back everything we temporarily lost. No matter how urgent it is, it will not be in a hurry."

"That's how it is." Hearing Tong Yehu Khan's plan, all the Western Turkic generals suddenly realized that they were relieved. Everyone was relieved when they were about to defeat the Sui army in one fell swoop, and then they were inexplicably excited. If Yang Tong could be killed here and the Sui Dynasty was in chaos, wouldn't they be able to go south to the Central Plains and go south to the Sui Dynasty? Wealth and women?
Tong Yehu Khan saw that everyone's morale had recovered all of a sudden, and he smiled with satisfaction: "Go back and rest, let the soldiers eat well, I hope everyone will be in the most full state tomorrow, and destroy the Sui army in one battle."

"Yes!"

A group of Western Turkic generals returned to the camp one after another with excited expressions, gearing up to boost morale, preparing to compete with the Sui army tomorrow.

When the sky was getting dark, the drums of the Sui army camp had never stopped, which made people very bored and puzzled. Hearing the chaotic drums, Tong Yehu Khan suddenly felt something was wrong. He frowned slightly and shouted loudly. Call: "Come on!"

"Great Khan." A detached commander walked in from outside the tent.

"Did the patrol scouts come back? What's the movement of the Sui army on the opposite side?" Tong Yehu Khan was very upset, and the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"Great Khan, the drumming of the Sui army's camp has not stopped since the evening. Our scouts dare not get too close, and none of the newly sent scouts came back."

"None of them came back?"

"Exactly!"

Tong Yehu Khan thought for a while, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stood up all of a sudden: "Hurry up, order the assembly!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Tong Yehu Khan's serious face, the commander didn't dare to neglect, and quickly dispatched people to deliver orders.

Tong Yehu Khan put on his armor again, walked out of the big tent, and told a centurion beside him, "Take a group of people to the Sui army to have a look, don't get too close."

"Yes!" The centurion replied, and hastily led a group of attached troops, mounted their horses, and galloped towards the Sui army camp.

At the same time, the generals gathered quickly.

"Great Khan, what happened?" A general asked in confusion.

"The camp of the Sui army is very wrong. None of the people sent to investigate have returned." Tong Yehu Khan said solemnly: "I have sent Fuli to investigate. Everyone, wait a moment and see what the Sui army is doing."

Everyone's expressions also became dignified. In these days of confrontation, the Sui Army's various methods have caused everyone to suffer a lot.The endless conspiracies and tricks of the Sui army really frightened them.

Time passed in silent waiting, and the person sent to inquire soon came back to report.

"Great Khan, the camp of the Sui army is pitch black! The drumbeat never stopped. We took a closer look and found that the camp guards were all straw men in leather armor."

"Hmph!" Tong Yehu Khan laughed angrily: "All the ministries have sent out sentries to find out where the Sui army has gone! Want to leave now? It's not that easy."

"Yes." The generals left one after another.

In the pitch-black sky, Tong Yehu Khan, no matter how courageous he was, did not dare to rush after him. Hearing the loud drumming from the opposite camp, he angrily said, "Burn the Sui army camp for me. "

"Yes!"

The raging fire that quickly ignited in the camp of the Sui army convinced Tong Yehu Khan and the generals that the Sui army had left. Wherever he was going, he didn't dare to pursue rashly in a daze.When the fire gradually subsided, Tong Yehu Khan sent everyone back to the camp to rest. After the Sui army's movements were found out, they would pursue it tomorrow.

The Turkic army marched for hundreds of miles, and then looked at the fire stupidly for more than an hour.At this time, after learning that the Sui army had indeed withdrawn, the Turkic soldiers who relaxed soon fell asleep.
