Chapter 260: Yanmen decisive battle (eight)

Views:

At the same time that Lai Huer's right hook from west to south was effective, the Sui army's partial division, which was definitely not a large army, also found a breakthrough in the Zhengxi battlefield—I don't know if it was the defeated Turkic soldier who met the Chinese army. One of the relatives of the generals in the camp had a Turkic grassroots general who fled back to the relatively safe camp of the Chinese army for one or several companions. He even asked the soldiers under his command to deliberately suspend shooting arrows and let a few Turkic defeated soldiers approach the fence!

Kindness to the enemy on the battlefield is cruelty to oneself. Sometimes kindness to one's own companions is also cruelty to oneself. This time is a typical example. Just such a small indulgence immediately led to irreparable consequences. See When a few companions were able to get close to the fence of the Chinese army, the defeated Turkic soldiers who had been desperately killed by the Turkic bows and arrows and the Sui army's knives and guns seemed to find a outlet for a trapped torrent, and they all rushed over at once, risking being stabbed and hacked to death. Dangerously climbing the antlers of the fence, more defeated soldiers pushed their comrades in front to directly hit the antlers of the horses and the fence of the guard camp. Falling to the ground, the defeated soldiers poured into the camp like a flood bursting an embankment.

Finally, it was the turn of the Turkic Chinese army camp to be unlucky. The turbulent crowd of defeated soldiers tore down countless military tents in a blink of an eye, knocked over countless baggage vehicles, and even smashed the Turkic Chinese army team that lined up to meet them. The soldiers of the army also took the opportunity to enter the camp, killing the enemy and setting fire to the camp, causing panic and chaos in the Turkic military camp. The situation is out of control.

To Shibi Khan, time is more precious than gold. He didn't care to talk to his son Shibenbi who stayed in the camp, so Shibi Khan immediately dispatched a large number of attached soldiers, holding his sweat tent golden arrows and flying to the village. Each battalion issued an order, ordering the defenders of each battalion to send troops to rescue the Chinese army immediately, first to withstand the fierce pursuit of the Sui army from all walks of life, and then consider how to retreat to the north of Xixing Pass. If you dare to hope that you can turn defeat into victory, you only hope that you can repel the Sui army's attack and save some capital and go back to the grassland. Amitabha.

It was not until he dispatched Chuan Lingfuli that Shibi Khan heard his son Shibenbi ask himself in surprise: "Father Khan, didn't you get shot in the right eye by a flow arrow, and you were seriously injured? Why didn't anything happen?" No?"

"Fart your mother!" Shibi Khan yelled angrily, "Who said I was seriously injured by an arrow? You wish I could die early, so you can inherit Khan's throne, right?"

"Father Khan, I dare not have that kind of thought." Shi Benbi quickly denied it, and then quickly explained: "My boy just heard the report from some scouts, and they heard rumors in the army that you, Father Khan, were shot by a stray arrow." , the injury is serious, and the child is still very worried, since you are fine, father, it seems that those rumors are just rumors."

"When this battle is over, find out all those wastes who are wearing rumors, put them all in sacks, and trample them to death with horses!" Shibi Khan roared, ignored the rumors, and hurriedly went to observe the battlefield again situation.

Naturally, the situation of the battle has become even worse. The main force of the Sui army, who is chasing after them, has already attacked the main gate of the Chinese camp. Although the Turkic army resisted desperately, the Sui army continued to attack. The partial division of the Sui army entering the camp from the west was also quickly advancing towards the main entrance, trying to cooperate with the inside and outside to meet the main force entering the camp. Shibi Khan had no choice but to quickly send troops to defend the southwest corner, cut off the road for the Sui army to join forces, and at the same time organize all the Chinese troops to advance westward. Prevent the Sui army's partial division from advancing towards the heart of the middle camp.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Nalun, the Turkic army who had retreated to the northern camp before, led an army from the north to come for reinforcements. After meeting, Nalun also screamed, Khan, didn't you get seriously injured by an arrow? Shibi Khan yelled a fart, that's a rumor! Then he quickly ordered Na Lun to lead the army to reinforce the front of the camp, and asked Na Lun to block the main force of the Sui army no matter what, to buy time for the reinforcements from other camps. On the same day, the main force of the Sui army swarmed into the camp, and the Turkic soldiers guarding the camp gate fled everywhere.

The general situation is over, Shibi Khan has no choice but to change the order, and shouted: "Order all the troops to move closer to my Golden Wolf Banner, fight and retreat, and slowly withdraw from the camp, waiting for the reinforcements to come to join! Lun, you lead the army at the rear and are responsible for dealing with the main force of the barbarians!"

Following the West Camp, the Turkic Central Army camp quickly turned into a sea of flames, with raging flames and billowing smoke. The Sui Army soldiers who entered the camp from two directions drove straight in. They attacked Shibi Khan's Golden Wolf Banner in separate attacks and captured Shibi Khan alive. The slogans of the thieves came one after another, and the Turkic army was flustered. No matter how hard the generals tried to restrain the troops, they could not stop the chaos and fleeing in the army, and then drove more Turkic troops to chaos and flee, and panicked to the extreme. Turkic soldiers fled everywhere in the sea of fire, and the reinforcements brought by Nalun were also affected by this panic scene, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. As soon as they came into contact with the main force of the Sui army, they immediately showed signs of retreat.

The Turkic army with a strong force is not without a chance to regain its footing, provided that the Turkic army in other camps can come to the rescue in time. However, to the despair of Shibi Khan, except for the support army of Na Lun who arrived in time, the other camps At the same time, the fire rising in the direction of Xixing Pass made Shibi Khan even more frightened, and he couldn't guess what happened to that critical throat. But at this time, another scout rushed to report, and said: "Qi Khan, something is wrong, our army in the east of Yanmen City suddenly all abandoned camp and fled to In the direction of Xixing Pass!"

"What?" Shibi Khan yelled in disbelief, "All the troops in the east of Yanmen City have fled? How is this possible? Could it be that the generals there have all rebelled?"

No one can answer Shibi Khan's question. On the contrary, the main force of the Sui army has already beaten Na Lun beyond parry, and the partial division of the Sui army who came from the west has also reached a position less than 200 steps away from the Golden Wolf Banner. See the situation It's not good, and knowing that the army in the northern camp has been emptied, Shibi Khan has no choice but to quickly flee to the western camp with the army, to join the Turkic army guarding against the Yanmen defenders there, and abandon himself. The golden-roofed sweat tents also threw down the mountains of grain, grass, cattle and sheep, gold, silver and cloth in the Chinese army camp, as well as countless looted women.

Shibi Khan took the lead in retreating, and the chaotic Nalun army could no longer hold on, and was smashed to pieces by the main force of the Sui army. Nalun and his commander could not restrain the troops, but could only watch the soldiers They fled in all directions, followed Shibi Khan with the team around them, and fled together into the eastern camp. The soldiers of the Sui Army continued to advance side by side, chasing and fighting to the end, and the voice of capturing Shibi Khan alive became more violent.

Fleeing into Dongying was only a postponement of the execution of the death sentence. The Turkic defeated soldiers who rushed into the camp once again overwhelmed the fortifications of the Dongying camp. It was just to bring the Dongying soldiers and horses with me as much as possible, and lead them to abandon the camp and flee for their lives, and fled towards Xixingguan, adding some cannon fodder for myself that could slightly resist the Sui army's pursuit when fleeing—but let Shibi once again What made Khan furious was that most of the Turkic troops on the Dongying side had fled long ago, and the rest of the troops didn't obey the command at all. They just fled to the north in a mess, and they didn't want to stay to serve as cannon fodder for Shibi Khan.

Hurry until he escaped from the camp. It was also at this time that Shibi Khan realized that his 200,000 Turkic army had already been in complete chaos. They are everywhere, and Turkic soldiers fleeing in groups of threes and alone and fleeing alone can be seen everywhere. Seeing this scene, Shibi Khan's face was pale, but also confused, "How could my army be defeated so quickly? How could it be defeated so strangely?"

Of course, if Shibi Khan knew that there were some attached people running around with golden arrow tokens and ordering all the Turkic troops to abandon camp and flee for their lives in his honor, then Sibi Khan would definitely not be so strange.

At the same time, Chen Sangliang finally made a tactical adjustment in the pursuit battle, and told Qi Wang Yang Wei who met on the battlefield: "His Royal Highness, the siege of Yanmen has been lifted, you take the troops of the headquarters Go to Yanmen City to meet His Majesty and report the situation of the war to His Majesty. Please also report to Your Majesty for me, saying that I still need to lead the army to hunt down the Turks, and I have no time to go to see him immediately. Your Majesty apologizes in person. Your army will be handed over to Li Jiancheng for unified command."

Yang Hao, who had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, couldn't wait to agree, and hurriedly handed over the army to Li Jiancheng, and then took the 2,000 troops he brought from Nao County and went straight to Yanmen City to meet Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. The appearance of leaving made Li Yuan, who had been by Chen Sangliang's side, feel sour in his heart, and couldn't help but said to Chen Yingliang: "Congratulations, Commander, the future is guaranteed."

Chen Yingliang glanced sideways, and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just directed the army to continue to pursue him with all his strength. Li Yuan, who was ignored, was even more angry, and suddenly had an idea, and secretly said: "How can I forget this matter? If in front of Yang Guang's son, put The secret collusion between Chen Yingliang and Yang Hao was brought out, and with Yang Guang's petty mind, even if he didn't say anything in person, he would secretly hate this little thief and record his crimes in the little black ledger?"

Thinking about it, Li Yuan quickly focused his attention on Li Jing again, taking advantage of the opportunity that Chen Yingliang and Yin Shishi and others were all focusing on the battlefield, Da Ma moved to Li Jing's side, and said in a low voice: "Li Pharmacist, how about making a deal?"

Li Jing turned to look at Li Yuan without speaking, but Li Yuan said in a low voice: "There is a vacancy for the prefect of Shu County. In the land of abundance, there are no civil uprisings and sufficient money and food. I will use this position to exchange a memorial with you to expose Chen Yingliang and His Royal Highness Qi Wang. How about the memorial of the secret transaction? Don’t worry, your memorial will be sent to the emperor through a special channel, and Chen Yingliang will not know it. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not announce it soon. You will be left behind in Shu County."

Li Jing laughed again, still smiling happily, nodded, and said, "I'll think about it."

At this time, Chen Yingliang issued a new order during the pursuit battle, ordering the main force of the Sui army to march to the west of the Xixing Pass, and sent orders to generals such as Yun Dingxing, Liu Changgong, and Wang Shichong to continue the pursuit. Turks, continue to put pressure on the Turkic army from behind. After hearing this order, Yin Shishi, Li Jing and others were inevitably a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Commander, our main force has detoured to the west of the pass. Isn't this a chance for the Turkic army to breathe? Why not?" Going all out to kill him?"

"I want to drive the Turks to the east." Chen Yingliang quickly replied: "There are too many Turks. We can kill more than so many Turks in a short while. Only by driving them into the prison in the east can we eat them one by one. Light."

"What about Xixing Pass?" Yin Shishi asked, "Xixing Pass is still in the hands of the Turks, so the main force of the Turks can go to the north of Xixing Pass to escape?"

"Don't worry about Xixing Pass." Chen Sangliang said with a relaxed smile, "I have already arranged for more than 2,000 troops to seize the narrow pass south of Xixing Pass, and the Turks will not be able to get through."

"More than two thousand troops?" Yin Shishi, Li Yuan and the others were dumbfounded again, and then looked at the huge crowd of enemy troops in front of them. So many Turkic troops jumping over the wall?"

"Prefect Yin, if you know how much effort I spent on that army and how much money I spent on food, you will definitely not doubt it." Chen Sangliang laughed loudly, and urged: "Hurry up, go to the west of Xixing Pass Go, go there to regroup, rest, eat and drink, and then attack."

Leading the main force of Qiao Peng and the Taiyuan Sui Army all the way through, Chen Yingliang and others soon arrived five miles west of the intersection of Xixingguan. At the same time, the defeated Turkic army had already crowded at the narrow pass intersection, and the Sui Army partial division led by Yun Dingxing and Wang Shichong was still chasing and beating the defeated Turkic army. It began to twilight.

"Strange? Why haven't you heard the sound yet?" While drinking water in a hurry, Chen Yingliang paid attention to the situation of the pass, but what surprised Chen Yingliang was that there was no sound from the pass except for the raging fire. special sound.

Chen Sangliang's question was soon answered. The scouts who went up to the high ground to check the situation came back and reported that there was a huge fire wall blocking the Turkic army at the pass of Xixing Pass. The Turkic army was putting out the fire, and Chen Sangliang immediately Laughing, he said, "That's right, Kan Leng will use his brain to fight. With the firewall temporarily blocking Turkic, he can gain more deployment time."

After laughing happily, Chen Sangliang hurriedly called Guo Feng, Chen Ci and other generals who reported to the national army, and said: "After the war resumes in a while, you will continue to be the vanguard, and you will attack the Golden Wolf Banner of the Shibi Bandit Chief with all your strength. There are thirty gunpowder bottles here just in case, take them all and use them if you have the chance.”

Guo Feng and the other generals quickly agreed, and just when they were about to take the gunpowder bottle handed over by Chen Sangliang's personal soldiers, there was a sudden sound of popping beans from the official road ahead, which sounded like the explosion of a gunpowder bottle, but it was not that loud . Hearing this voice, Chen Yingliang laughed even more happily, and said: "Finally, my Musketeer."

"Musketeers? What Musketeers?" Everyone asked in surprise.

"It's about the same as this." Chen Yingliang took out a copper short spear from his arms, and said with a smile, "It's this kind of weapon, my magic weapon at the bottom of the box. Apart from scaring the enemy and their horses, this weapon also has the biggest The purpose of this weapon is that even the bright light armor cannot stop the bullets it shoots, and it can directly break the armor, and the armor (that is, the cotton armor) that can resist this weapon has not yet been invented. "

Just as Chen Sangliang said, at the same time, in the pass south of Xixing Pass, the Turkic troops pouring into the pass like a tidal wave were also at a loss in front of the bronze muskets suddenly fired by the Qiao Peng Sui army. Countless Turkic soldiers were still chattering. "What is that? What is that? How can the barbarian army breathe fire? How can our armor not stop it?"

Originally, seeing the Sui army's heavy infantry guarding the narrow pass, the Turkic army also sent armored soldiers to march forward in a vain attempt to use their armor to resist the Sui army's bow and arrow and the Sui army's heavy infantry's Zhang Changmodao. As a result, the armored soldiers lined up Finally, although they also blocked the feather arrows thrown by the soldiers of the Sui army, just after rushing into the front of the Sui army within fifty steps, countless flames and strange loud noises suddenly spewed out from the Sui army's formation. The armored soldiers also screamed one after another and fell to the ground, with blood splattering on their chests, and it was unknown what weapon had pierced through the iron armor on their chests.

Limited to the casting process, Qiao Peng and the Sui Army used relatively primitive bronze smoothbore guns, but many details directly skipped the development steps of the original muskets and reached the level of modernization, such as matchlock ignition, rear sights and The butt with a stable barrel, the barrel and bullets with relatively high precision, and even paper-wrapped medicine can be used for accurate medicine and fast charging, and it can directly evolve to three-stage shooting, which can continue to shoot continuously, and its power far exceeds that of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. And the original firearms of the early Ming Dynasty, directly catching up with the firearms technology of the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, no matter how the detail surpasses the times, Qiao Peng’s muskets of the Sui Army’s greatest effect on the Turkic army is to intimidate and intimidate the Turkic army. Seeing the flames and loud noises from the hands of the soldiers of the Sui Army, and seeing that even iron armor can resist If the Turkic soldiers couldn't stand this weird flame, no matter how anxious they were to escape, they would inevitably jump back and forth, causing the Turkic army to be in chaos on the narrow pass. The war gained countless precious time, and at the same time, it also made the Turkic army, which was still unable to break through the pass, even more confused and frightened. They simply refused to enter the pass, turned around and fled to the open land to the east.

At the same time, flames have also ignited in the pass city of Xixing Pass. The Tuojie Hu soldiers who were deceived by false orders were eager to withdraw to the north of Xixing Pass, but the Turkic defenders of Xixing Pass did not receive the order because they did not receive the order. Dare to open the door in the middle of the night to let the Tuojie Hu soldiers go out, and insisted that the Tuojie Hu soldiers show the order of Shibi Khan. Tuojie Hu Bing was even more panicked and wanted to leave the customs. The Xixingguan Turks, who had lost contact with the main force, continued to refuse. The defenders of the closed door opened the door to let their companions in, and the Turkic defenders hurriedly faced the battle, and they fought with Tuojie Hubing. Not only did they fail to send troops to meet Shibi Khan, but also caused fires to erupt inside Xixing Pass, causing chaos .

It was already dawn, and the main force of the Sui army, who had been resting for a while, no longer needed torches for lighting. Hearing the sound of gunfire in the pass again, Chen Yingliang also mounted his horse again, commanded the army to charge in groups, directly attacked the flanks of the defeated Turkic soldiers, and pointed the target directly at Shibi Khan's Golden Wolf Banner roared loudly, "Brothers, it's time to avenge the compatriots in the Thirty-nine City of Yanmen! Kill! Capture Shibi alive! Kill all the Turks!"

The majestic military song "Serving the country with loyalty" echoed in the main force of the Sui army. Behind the always serving as the vanguard of the army serving the country, Chen Yingliang's flag of Qin Wangshuai fluttered in the wind. Yaojin each led the cavalry to protect the left and right, and the infantry led by Ma Sanbao and Niu Jinda followed closely behind, forming neat square formations one after another, singing military songs and striding northward, and behind them were the troops led by Li Jiancheng. Taiyuan Sui Army, the banners are like forests, and the swords and guns are like the sea.

Seeing such a majestic Sui army attacking from the flanks, the Turkic soldiers who bear the brunt have collapsed and collapsed on their own before they can fight. Shibi Khan, who rushed into the pass, also had a pale face. Unwilling to be captured, Shibi Khan simply led the army around him that he could command to attack the main force of the Sui army. Khan slogan.

The screaming Turkic army rushed forward in a mess, and the main force of the Sui army recoiled to meet them in a neat line. A shocking decisive battle also unfolded at the intersection of Xixingguan. Roaring and screaming, fighting with rolling and falling, cutting through the hot flesh of the opponent with cold blades, piercing the generous chest of the opponent with sharp spears, fierce sparks from the collision of knives and guns, and steaming blood splashed on the ground. On the gray-yellow land, the yellow earth was splashed red and black, and the corpses of soldiers from the two armies were scattered all over the ground.

The defeated Turkic army is just the last flashback. With the continuation of the fierce battle, and with the gradual killing and scattering of the Turkic army to join the battlefield, the Turkic army is also doomed to be defeated again, even if it is Shibi Khan He could no longer control the herders in his army, and the desperate Turkic soldiers turned around and fled eastward one after another. The Turkic armies that did not join the battlefield had already fled all over the mountains and plains, and almost all fled to the east to die. Soon, there were only about a thousand of the most loyal and reliable guards around Shibi Khan, and the other Turkic troops stayed away from Shibi Khan, not daring to stay under the banner of the Golden Wolf to become The main focus of the Sui army was to kill the target.

"There is no other way, let's flee to the east." Seeing the Sui army team that had gradually encircled him and the two wing teams fleeing for their lives, Sibi Khan ordered in despair: "Retreat."

The Great Escape of the Jedi began, and the Turks, who had turned around hastily, followed Shibi Khan closely. They rode their horses and rushed to the east at full speed. The Sui cavalry headed by the Baoguo Army followed closely and captured Shibi Khan alive. The slogans were repeated one after another—it’s a pity that this is just a slogan. The bloody BMW under Shibi Khan’s crotch is extremely fast. Not to mention that the cavalry of the Sui army cannot catch up, even the horses attached to the Turks can hardly catch up, so they are running for their lives in a hurry. In the meantime, Shibi Khan also gradually came out with more and more people, rushing to the forefront of the team facing the open place in the east.

"Huh", the sharp wind of the knife suddenly came from behind, Shibi Khan, who was riding the horse, reacted quickly, subconsciously lowered his head, the golden helmet on his head and a piece of bloody scalp also flew into the air, and then did not wait for Shibi Bi Khan and the people around him reacted, a white horse had already rushed past him, and slashed at Shibi Khan's chest with a backhand knife...

With a hiss, at the critical moment, the sweaty horse under Shibi Khan's crotch was extremely psychic, and suddenly raised its hoof to help Shibi Khan escape the fatal knife, but the sweaty horse exposed its neck Under the knife, the horse's throat was cut with a knife, and blood gushed out like a fountain, and the sweaty BMW galloped in pain, and escaped from the Turkic army in the blink of an eye, but the white horse fled to the left, and the annoyed roar came immediately, " Beast! It's a big deal for me!"

"Khan! Khan!" Loyalty Fuli screamed and all chased after Khan Shibi. Khan Shibi, whose head was dripping with blood, hurriedly turned his head to look at the white horse, and immediately saw the knight on the white horse. It turned out to be Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan who never followed him last night!

"Barbarian! Barbarian!"

Roaring and cursing, the sweaty BMW, which was seriously injured and out of control, rushed seven or eight miles. The sweaty BMW with its carotid artery severed finally fell to the ground, and when it fell, it used inertia to throw Shibi Khan After going out, Shibi Khan, who was seriously injured on the top of his head, was thrown into a mess, and he was dizzy and couldn't stand up for a long time. It took two or three minutes for the Turks attached to the back to arrive at the scene. When they reined in their horses and rushed to help Shibi Khan, the Baoguo army and Qiao Peng cavalry behind had already arrived. Li just wanted to fight, but unexpectedly, several gunpowder bottles flew out of the Nationalist Army's ranks, blowing up the Turkic Fu Li who had been fighting in a hurry, and it was in chaos again. On the battlefield, Shibi Khan had fewer soldiers around him.

Gunpowder bottles flew into the crowd one after another. Although the loyal Turks were desperately defending Shibi Khan, the horses they rode couldn't stand the fright. The soldiers of the army drove straight in, getting closer and closer to the Golden Wolf Banner of Shibi Khan...

Severely injured on the top of his head, Shibi Khan tried twice to get on the horse but failed. The third time he managed to get on the horse with the help of Fuli, but a gunpowder bottle fell near the side of Shibi Khan. Fuli around Khan exploded into chaos, and Khan Shibi fell off his horse again.

At the moment of life and death, Shibi Khan, whose ears were ringing, exploded with divine power, stood up by himself, and climbed onto the horse's back. However, before Shibi Khan charged his horse, a wrought iron rod swept across and hit him directly. on his right arm, broke his right arm directly, and threw him directly off the horse, and before the screaming Shibi Khan came back to his senses, the wrought iron roller was already pointing at his face, Shibi Khan's incomprehensible voice also came to his ears, and he said with a smile: "Sibi Thief Chief, the commander told us to remember your appearance, you really have the foresight."

Seeing the cooked iron rod still dripping red blood and white brains in front of him, Shibi Khan yelled out one of the few Chinese sentences he knew, "Surrender! I surrender!"
