On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 477 Regeneration (4000)

In the temporary camp, Ashina Duoji was drinking alone in the tent, and he was in an extremely bad mood.

At this time, Ashina Duoji also wanted to understand why the pursuers were not fooled, because the acting skills of those women and children were too poor.

Under normal circumstances, when you meet the notorious Eastern Sui cavalrymen on the grassland, whoever is not panicked, flees in all directions, but the group of women and children made a mistake and was chased by the Eastern Sui cavalry, and they didn't even run away. It's not clear. Tell the other party , Do you have an ambush yourself?

When he was full of indignation, Shi Shu Hu Xi opened the door curtain and walked in, persuading him:

"Now that the pursuers are behind us, the prince should drink less, so as not to get drunk and cause trouble."

When Shi Shuhu Xi mentioned the pursuers behind him, Ashina Tuoji felt even more resentful.

It has been two days since that failed ambush, and during these two days, the Dong Sui cavalrymen have been following behind them not far or near.

You turn around and drive them away, but there are too many people, they don't fight, they turn around and run away, and when you continue on your way, they stick to you again.

Fearing that the cavalry of the Eastern Sui Dynasty would go around and set up an ambush in front, Ashina Duoji sent a large number of scouts to explore the way every time he passed, to ensure safety, so that the army could pass.

The distance traveled every day is not much faster than before with a large number of women and children.

Prior to this, Ashina Duoji divided his 2 Tiele fighters into two groups, leading [-] people and a small number of humans and animals to set up an ambush.

The remaining [-] Tiele fighters escorted a large number of women, children, and livestock and went northward first.

Now that Ashina Duoji was held back by Su Dingfang, it was impossible for him to catch up with the main force.

Ashina Duoji said helplessly:

"Those people from the Sui Dynasty can't be driven away, and can't be shaken off. Now, what else can I do except to drink away my worries."

I'm afraid Cui Che's main force will catch up before they get out of this vast desert.

Shi Shu Hu Xi let out a long sigh:
"For the current plan, we can only continue to bait the pursuers."

Ashina Duoji said blankly:

"Now there are no women and children in the army, and the few remaining livestock are what the soldiers need to eat. If we lose these livestock, we will all starve to death in the desert. How can we use them as bait?"

Shi Shu Hu Xi pondered for a long time and said:
"No! We don't use livestock as bait."

Then he whispered to Ashina Duoji.

The more Ashina Duoji listened, the brighter his eyes became.

In the early morning of the next day, Ashina Duoji summoned [-] Tiele soldiers under his command, and he announced:
"Now the Sui people are only a short distance away from us, if we can't get rid of them, everyone will die in the desert.

"I will pick out a thousand warriors to defend me against the Sui people. I swear to you, after getting out of the crisis, I will definitely take good care of your families, reward them with wealth, and prevent them from being bullied."

Among the soldiers, the buzz of discussion was endless.

Even if Ashina Duoji made a promise, no one was willing to take the initiative to respond to this kind of behavior, which was almost equivalent to sending death.

If possible, they still want to take care of their wives and children by themselves without others doing it for them.

It's just that the prince's order cannot be disobeyed. Ashina Duoji randomly selected a thousand old and weak to stay for him to block the pursuers behind him, while he led the remaining [-] Tiele soldiers away.

The Sentinel of the Eastern Sui Dynasty discovered that the Eastern Turks had pulled out their camp, and hurriedly reported it to Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang led his troops to chase them, and also ran into this army blocking the way.

"General Su, be careful of the Turks repeating their old tricks."

Yuchi Jingde reminded.

Su Dingfang nodded when he heard the words, but did not launch an attack immediately.

Ashina Duoji had set up a government soldier just once before, but now who can guarantee that there is no government soldier behind him, Qian Tie Le, who is old and weak.

Under the scorching sun, Su Dingfang and the East Turkic people behind the palace stalemate for a long time, no one acted rashly, until the sentry cavalry thoroughly searched and found that there were no government soldiers around, then Su Dingfang ordered Yuchi Jingde to lead the [-] knights from the headquarters to charge and kill.

With just one charge, all the old and weak Qian Tiele were killed.

However, Su Dingfang couldn't be happy no matter what, just such a group of vulnerable waste materials actually delayed him for half a day.

According to the confession of the captured prisoners, Ashina Duoji did use them as the queen.

"Ashina Duoji is trying to cut his tail to survive."

Yuchi Jingde shook his head and said.

The battle ended too quickly, and Yuchi Jingde didn't even sweat, which made him feel very unsatisfactory.

Su Dingfang said solemnly:

"I'll see if he can escape!"

After being delayed for half a day by a group of old and weak, Ashina Duoji had already gone far, and Su Dingfang knew that he could no longer bring prisoners, women and children forward.

Immediately, he ordered people to cut off the captives' thumbs. Without their thumbs, these captives would not be able to hold weapons steadily.

Su Dingfang left Yuchi Jingde's [-] cavalry soldiers to guard the prisoners, as well as the women, children, and livestock captured earlier, waiting for Cui Che's main force to arrive.

And he and Yuchi Jingde led the rest of the cavalry to chase after them.

It was not until the evening of the next day that Su Dingfang and his party caught up with Tuoji again.

After the two armies rested overnight, Ashina Duoji once again left behind a thousand Tiele warriors.

Looking at the Tiele people who were waiting in full force not far away, Su Dingfang still didn't give the order to attack immediately. He still wanted to send sentry cavalry first to search for ambushes.

Before that, it took half a day to wait for the sentry to search, but now Yuchi Jingde can wait any longer, if he continues to delay, maybe Ashina Duoji can really escape.

Yuchi Jingde urged:
"General Su, let me be the vanguard and attack the enemy's formation. If you delay any longer, Duji will have to go far again."

Su Dingfang weighed it again and again, nodded and said:
"In this case, I will hand it over to General Yuchi, but if there is any abnormality, please return it immediately."

He was also unwilling to let Ashna Duoji and his Tiele fighters go.

With Su Dingfang's consent, Yuchi Jingde was overjoyed, he shouted at the remaining [-] cavalrymen under his command, and charged at the Tiele infantry.

And Su Dingfang also ordered [-] cavalry soldiers under his command to keep on alert to deal with emergencies at any time and support Yuchi Jingde.

Today, the army left behind by Ashina Duoji is stronger than the old and weak ones before.

However, without the obstruction of the chariot formation, the light infantry charged directly at the cavalry of the former army, and was easily dispersed.

At the end of the battle, Su Dingfang did not divide his troops to guard the prisoners. He was worried that this was Ashina Duoji's strategy to induce him to divide his troops.

Su Dingfang still ordered people to cut off the thumbs of these captives, took away their dry food and fresh water, and then released all the captives, leaving them to fend for themselves.

It's just that in this desert, there is neither food nor fresh water, so it is extremely difficult to survive.

This time, the cavalrymen of the Eastern Sui Dynasty were not delayed much by the pursuers, and they caught up with Ashina Duoji in the morning of the next day.

When he learned that the cavalrymen of the Eastern Sui Dynasty were chasing him, Ashina Duoji was not surprised but delighted.

It took the Eastern Sui cavalry a day and a half to catch up with them, which proves that the Eastern Sui generals remained vigilant when facing the first group of rear troops, and only wiped out the old and weak under the condition of ensuring everything was safe. .

Now the second batch of rear troops are more powerful, but the blocking time is shorter, which shows that the opponent wiped them out without careful search.

Ashina Duoji smiled at Shi Shuhu and said:

"Your strategy has worked. Now the Sui people are defenseless. Tomorrow will be the decisive battle."

The young Su Dingfang and the equally young Yuchi Jingde had already fallen into habitual thinking at this time, and they never thought that the previous two rear troops were just bait thrown by Ashina Duoji.

It was another early morning, and this time Ashina Duoji left behind two thousand Tiele warriors, but unlike in the past, he did not lead the remaining soldiers and horses to evacuate quickly, but hid after walking a certain distance.

When the cavalrymen of the Eastern Sui Dynasty chased them over, they saw two thousand Tiele men lined up in front, Su Dingfang and Yuchi Jingde no longer hesitated, it was still Yuchi Jingde who led the charge, and Su Dingfang led the army to support them.

The pre-experiment army is solely responsible for destroying the front and trapping the formation, and they have not lost their reputation.

In just one stick of incense, the rear troops left behind by Ashina Duoji will be crushed under the iron hooves of the front army.

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Ashina Duoji led all the [-] cavalry as ambush soldiers to rush out, and went straight to Yuchijiong's troops who were fighting with the rear troops in the field.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The shouts resounded through the sky, whether it was Yuchi Jingde, who was struggling to get away from the fight, or Su Dingfang, who was sitting not far away and led the support, all of them changed their expressions drastically.

Yuchi Jingde shouted loudly:
"Breakout! Break out with me!"

He killed a bloody path in the formation and rushed out with more than a thousand knights, but there were still hundreds of cavalry trapped in the formation.

Just as Yuchi Jingde was about to leave, a mournful cry came from behind:
"General Yuchi, are you going to abandon us!"

Every word hit Yuchi Jingde's heart, he reined in the reins, and shouted to the knights who escaped after him:

"Whoever is willing to rescue Paoze will follow me to fight!"

After all, he turned his horse's head straight, took the lead and killed them back, and the soldiers who managed to escape were infected by him, and they all followed him and killed them back.

Seeing this scene, the hundreds of cavalrymen in the encirclement all cheered loudly:

"General Yuchi is here to save us!"

They regained their spirits and fought bravely with the enemy.

In the distance, Su Dingfang was still glad to see Yuchi Jingde escape from the tiger's mouth at first, but now seeing him turn his horse's head and charge towards the enemy's encirclement, he couldn't sit still anymore.

The army of the Eastern Sui Dynasty did not have the tradition of being as immovable as a mountain when friendly troops were in trouble.

Now that Yuchi Jingde went back to rescue the troops, if he remained indifferent, even if he could bring the 500 people under his command back to the King of Yan in the future, what face would he have to lead the army again.

Su Dingfang raised his long spear and shouted:

"Soldiers, General Yuchi and I have planned for a long time, and finally attracted the Turkic people to come and fight us.

"We are the frontline army, the most elite warriors under King Yan's command. Although we are outnumbered, how can a group of mobs be our opponents!

"Now that General Yuchi has held the Turkic people back, it's time for us to make a contribution. The whole army has them. Come and kill them with me!"

It was obvious that he and Yuchi Jingde were ambushed by Ashina Duoji, but from what Su Dingfang said, it seemed that the two of them had planned for a long time just to lead to today's decisive battle.

This reversal of black and white had a significant effect. Su Dingfang's [-] cavalrymen all believed it was true, and their morale soared for a while, and they rushed to the battlefield following Su Dingfang.

The morning sun was like blood, and the sky was full of red clouds. Yuchi Jingde waved the long spear in his hand, and with the momentum of going forward without returning, he once again killed a bloody road and tore a hole in the encirclement of the Turkic people.

Yuchi Jingde was drenched in blood, and he couldn't tell whether the blood was from the Tie Le people or from his own wounds.

"I, Yuchi Jingde, will never abandon my robe!"

With a cry in response, Yuchi Jingde once again entered the Turkic encirclement and joined forces with the trapped soldiers.

Ashina was so angry that he came and left whenever he wanted, and he commanded at the top of his voice when he thought this was some place:
"Stop them!"

Pointing at Yuchi Jingde in the distance, he shouted loudly:

"Whoever wins the head of a Sui general will be rewarded with a thousand sheep and a hundred slaves!"

The reward was spread, and all the soldiers of Tie Le were excited, and they all wanted to borrow Yuchi Jingde's head to receive this large reward.

It became more difficult for Yuchi Jingde to break through the encirclement, he rushed left and right in the formation, but he still couldn't get out.

'Could it be that this is the place where I, Yuchi Jingde, was buried. '

Just when Yuchi Jingde was in despair, Su Dingfang led [-] cavalrymen under his command to come on horseback, but Su Dingfang did not attack the Turkic encirclement, but went straight to Ashina Duoji.

Before that, Ashina Tuoji offered a reward to Yuchi Jingde out of anger, and his location was exposed one after another, and Su Dingfang also let Su Dingfang find Ashina Tuoji's location.

Seeing that a cavalry pawn from the Eastern Sui Dynasty came to kill him, Shi Shu Hu Xi persuaded him:
"The sages of the Sui people once said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and asks the prince to retreat temporarily, retreat to a safe place, and sit and watch the generals defeat the enemy."

But Ashina Duoji refused to listen, he said:

"I'm a Turkic, not a Xia!"

Tribes in the grassland respect the strong and despise the cowardly, and a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This reasoning does not make sense on the grassland.

Since the large forces were besieging Yuchi Jingde, Ashina Duoji had less than [-] cavalry around him, but this was far more than the number of cavalry under Su Dingfang's command.

This is also the reason why Ashina Duoji insisted on not retreating.

In the past, Yandi cavalrymen roamed the grasslands without defeat, which was the nightmare of all Turkic tribes.

If he could hit Cui Che's front in this desert today.

Ashina Duoji's prestige on the grasslands will skyrocket, and the future ownership of Khan will no longer be controversial.

Su Dingfang led the army to kill, Ashina Tuoji saw that not only did not retreat, but instead led the soldiers forward to meet the battle.

However, the prairie cavalry is good at riding and shooting, and the Central Plains cavalry is good at charging. If you use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, what good results can be achieved.

What's more, this cavalry is the pre-account army known as the strongest soldier under Cui Che's command.

Su Dingfang led several platoons of Eastern Sui cavalry, like rushing waves, to meet Ashina Duoji's challenge with turbulent momentum.
