Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 208 King Jin is ambushed
The war broke out again, but the Turks' offensive did not weaken much. Their morale had declined before, but as soon as the yellow sand blew over them for a few days, it seemed to have passed, and their morale improved a lot.

The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were naturally not afraid. One came to kill one, two came to kill a pair, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

By the end of the night, the Turks had not been allowed to cross the thunder pool. The people in the city felt relieved. The fighting was fierce, but as long as they could not reach the city, they were safe.

Yang Guang returned to Yanmen Pass again under Yang Shuang's instruction, and Li Che also came back together.

Li Che still had to contact the supply troops behind him and wait for the arrival of the large troops.

……

……

The weather continued to get colder in the next few days. After winter, Yang Guang felt bitingly cold even with the shelter of a house, let alone the soldiers outside.

The Turks stayed quiet for several days. They didn't know what happened and did not attack. Until one day when the sky was clear and the sky was clear, the Turks finally appeared in sight again.

This time, the Turks were uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. They did not launch a fierce attack on the city or clamor for war. Instead, Sabolo Khan led his men on tall horses and came under the city wall, but his horse was pulling a rope behind it. The other end of the rope is holding a person.

Sabolo Khan pulled the rope, and the person being led appeared in front of everyone. It was none other than Qin Qiong, who had gone to sneak attack the Turkic grain and grass camp.

At this time, Qin Qiong was stripped of her shirt, her hands were tied, her mouth was gagged, and her skin was red in the cold wind.

Upon seeing Qin Qiong, Yang Shuang stretched out his hand to stop the archers who were about to attack.

Shabolu Khan led Qin Qiong around on horseback, and then shouted: "King Wei of the Sui Dynasty, do you recognize this young general?"

"Shabulue, you Turks have done a lot of damage to our Shuozhou City in recent days. We have captured a lot of Turkic cavalry. Today you brought our soldiers and we exchange prisoners."

Shabolu Khan said: "This little general is very brave. He killed more than ten of us by himself and captured it with great difficulty. How could you change it just as you asked? You can change it if you want. I I want 500 good bows and 100 horses, can you exchange them?"

Facing the other party's lion, he opened his mouth. It was impossible for Yang Shuang to agree to this kind of price. After all, agreeing was a compromise. If the other party had Yang Guang, he would have to compromise, but that was just Qin Qiong.

Just a young and promising soldier found from nowhere.

"Shabolu Khan, please come back. Our army will not exchange hostages before the formation. If you want to fight today, you will never come back."

Shabolu Khan was very cooperative: "The Great Sui Dynasty King Wei is really cold-blooded and ruthless. He watched his subordinates die like this but was indifferent."

"Archer, get ready."

All the archers drew their bows fully, and Sabolo Khan hurriedly distanced himself because he knew that Yang Shuang would definitely attack.

After exiting the effective shooting range of the bow and arrow, Sabolo Khan still led his troops and refused to retreat.

The two armies were in a stalemate like this. Finally, as the sun set, Sabolo Khan pulled out several other prisoners, including the sergeants who had followed Qin Qiong and others to sneak attack on the grain and grass.

Sabolo Khan loosened the rope that tied them and said with a smile: "Run, run to your city."

The captured soldiers ran away as if they were about to receive amnesty. Sabolo Khan waved his hand, and a team of dozens of archers behind him were filled with bows and arrows.

Amid the ferocious laughter, arrows flew out. Our soldiers who had just escaped fell to the ground one by one in the rain of arrows under the setting sun.

Yang Shuang clenched his fists on the city wall. He could only watch his soldiers die tragically and could not do anything. It was too late to go out of the city to rescue them now.

"Come here, tell King Jin that Qin Qiong has been arrested."

As night fell, Yang Guang learned the news that Qin Qiong had been arrested, with a look of shock on his face.

Yang Guang was a little worried when there was no news about the team that was sent out for so many days. Unexpectedly, it had been captured by the Turks. It was impossible to know the specific story of what happened.

Yang Guang was very worried about Qin Qiong, so he said, "Come, prepare your horses. I will go to Shuozhou."

"Your Highness, it's too dangerous to go out at night."

"It doesn't matter. I'll go with two hundred cavalry. The Turks are incapable of leading a large army around Shuozhou City without anyone noticing."

Yang Guang knew that Yang Shuang could not surrender for Qin Qiong and the Turks, which would hurt morale, but Yang Guang could not watch Qin Qiong get into trouble.

Regardless of the obstruction, Yang Guang took the people and set off.

Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Relying on the moonlight, I can still identify the road in front of me.

The horse ran for more than ten miles, when suddenly a group of people ran out from the mountains and forests in front of them.

I didn't see him, but I saw the bright scimitar under the bright moon.

No one knows how the Turks came here. They are not familiar with the terrain in this area, how could they get around from the mountains and forests, and they seem to know that they have to travel all night. It is unreasonable to set up an ambush here.

It was too late to think about whether it was reasonable or not. The vanguard in front shouted: "There is an enemy attack, be on guard."

The Turks' scimitar slashed at the horse in the front. The two men and their horses fell to the ground. Before the first soldier could get up, he was surrounded by the Turks and chopped down with knives.The soldiers responded hurriedly, and the sound of muskets rang out. Naturally, Yang Guang's personal guards had to keep their muskets.

The fiery snakes vomited, and the Turks fell to the ground when gunshots were fired.

The sudden appearance of the enemy turned this place into a battlefield for bayonets. Yang Guang immediately ordered: "Don't fight. There are no horses here. Let's break out."

The cavalry has an inherent advantage over the infantry. When everyone heard Yang Guang's words, they began to break out.

But the sound of arrows piercing the air came from the side, and the Turkic soldiers who were ambushing in the mountains and forests began to fire arrows, trying to stop Yang Guang and others.

Being unprepared and prepared for a long time, Yang Guang's group was now in a very passive situation.

Li Feng shouted: "His Royal Highness, the ambush they came from the mountains and forests cannot have many people. We will fight them."

Yang Guang nodded, drew his sword and shouted: "Kill."

The Sui army stabilized their formation and began a frontal battle.

Yang Guang is not to be outdone. His own martial arts skills are not bad, and he is not afraid of being killed.

Among the fighting crowd, Yang Guang was shocked to find Zhou Wu wearing Turkic clothes. At first he thought he had seen it wrong, but he didn't expect it was really Zhou Wu, and the number of Turkic troops far exceeded theirs. It is expected that there will be at least 300 people. With so many people going around, only people like Zhou Wu can lead them.

Yang Guang didn't know what happened, but he shouted angrily: "Zhou Wu!!"

Zhou Wu heard Yang Guang's roar, and a flash of regret flashed in his eyes. Instead, he ordered the Turks to come: "Surround them and kill them."

The Turks surrounded Yang Guang's team, and after fighting, they ended up in a confrontation.

At this time, Zhou Wu walked to the front of the Turks and said: "His Royal Highness, King Jin, just surrender and capture him. I can guarantee that nothing will happen to you."

Yang Guang's face was gloomy, and the anger seemed to spurt out: "Zhou Wu, I never expected that you are still a traitor. I trust you so much in vain. So is it because of you that Qin Qiong was captured?"

Zhou Wu was a little embarrassed. The two of them looked as if Zhou Wu was surrounded by Yang Guang: "Your Highness, King Jin, my real name is not Zhou Wu, my name is Liu Wuzhou, Liu Kuang is my father, and I know what my father did. You will definitely sentence him to death. There is no room for negotiation. As a son, I have no choice but to make this decision. I cannot watch my father die. As long as you surrender, I guarantee that you will be fine."

"Liu! Wu! Zhou!"

Yang Guang read word by word, but he didn't expect that Zhou Wu was actually Liu Wuzhou. During the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, the only person who attached to the Xiongnu and fought for the Central Plains.

Liu Wuzhou, like Shi Jingtang who later ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, was a person who was willing to bow to foreigners, the most despised kind. Yang Guang still can't distinguish Liu Wuzhou from the courageous one before him. Zhou Wu, a loyal young ranger, came to see him alone.

But the facts are there.

Angry but unable to let anger go to his head, Yang Guang knew that he could not be captured even if he died. Once captured, he would become a weapon used by the Turks to stab the Sui Dynasty, and he would face endless insults.

"Liu Wuzhou, you asked the Turks to take Qin Qiong as a prisoner, because you knew that once I knew that Qin Qiong was captured, I would definitely find a way to rescue him. Considering King Wei's tough character, you guessed that I would personally go to persuade him, so you laid an ambush in advance, right? "

Liu Wuzhou did not deny that this was his plan.

Yang Guang lamented that he had never doubted Liu Wuzhou, and now that he had fallen into someone else's trap, he only blamed himself for his misbelief. Sure enough, the words of his ancestors still made sense. You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others.

He whispered to Li Feng: "Li Feng, I fell into their trap today. I admit defeat, but I would rather die if I was caught without mercy."

Li Feng immediately clasped his fists: "Your Highness, we will fight hard and escort you out."

"No! I am with you. If you want to die, we will die together today."

The fighting began again, and the Sui soldiers fought to the death.

There was a faint light of fire not far away, and a caravan set out from Shuozhou towards Yanmen Pass under the cover of night. At this time, it happened to encounter people from both sides fighting.

There were two old acquaintances of Yang Guang in the caravan. The two Ma Yu brothers who had previously betrayed Liu Kuang heard the movement in front and quietly came closer.

"Brother, it seems that our Sui army is still fighting the Turks."

"Why are there Turks here?"

"I do not know either."

"It doesn't matter why he showed up. The Turks have killed so many of us. I just want to fight the Turks. If you have the guts, follow me."

The two brothers from the Ma family opened the cloth covering the carriage. Inside there were Turkic armors and Sui Dynasty soldiers' armors, which were obtained from cleaning the battlefield. At this time, they picked up the weapons they had and rushed forward.

The two sides who were fighting fiercely did not expect that another group of people would rush out out of nowhere, and there were less than 50 people in sight.

Do a mess for a while.
