Chapter 468 The Turks were really killed and retreated
Chapter 468
At the appointed time, after resting for a few hours, the soldiers who finally regained some energy began to prepare for the battle.
As the commander-in-chief of this reinforcement force, Yang Ning was really worried about his own son Yang Qian.
Once again, we came to the military camp in the south of the city and saw Yang Qian, who had rushed over after receiving the news.
"Qian'er, my father is the commander-in-chief of an army and needs to be at the center, so I can only do the hard work for you."
"What did you say, father? My child is the... second most powerful person in the Yang family. Father, just stand high on the city wall and watch how my child kills the enemy."
"...Well, my father knows that you are highly skilled in martial arts, but on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, so you still have to be careful."
"If so, if something happens, you should quickly retreat to the wall. Don't be too showy."
Listening to his father Yang Ning's nagging, Yang Qian was moved but also a little helpless.
At this moment, the ghost-faced warrior who had been standing behind Yang Qian like a shadow finally spoke impatiently.
"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to him."
"???" Yang Ning suddenly raised his head and pointed at the Ghost Faced Warrior with a look of shock on his face, dumbfounded...
"Father, she is your daughter-in-law. With her here, you should feel relieved, right?"
"You, you, this..." Yang Ning was going crazy.
"Sanniang's martial arts skills are unparalleled. With her by my child's side, my child's safety will be assured. Please rest assured, father."
"Someone is coming over there, probably looking for his father, so the boy will leave first."
Leaving behind his stunned father, Yang Qian quickly pulled Li Xiuning and dodged into the noisy crowd of soldiers and horses.
The person who came was Prince Wang Zhong. When he saw Yang Ning, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and kept urging him.
"Zheng Guogong, it took a lot of effort for our family to find you. You'd better go back as soon as possible. The army has to rely on you as the commander to control the army. If you are not here, our family really can't trust the others."
Yang Ning could only shake her head helplessly and hurriedly followed Wang Zhong away. As for the shock, she could only leave it for later.

At the turn of Haizi, Yang Qian took the lead and led the army to sneak out quietly from the Xinkou Pass that was gently pushed open.
After more than 20,000 cavalrymen left the city gate, they followed the lights on the wall.
Yang Qian glanced around and saw the excited soldiers. Without saying anything, he picked up his Qinglong Yanyue Sword and rushed out first.
The campfire of the Turks is still like a sea of stars. Even now, the sound of people and horses neighing can still be heard from the camp.
Yang Qian doesn't quite understand why Turkic people like to stay up late so much. Is it because they read novels?
But now is not the time to get to the bottom of it. The speed of running is getting faster and faster. Soon, the Turkic camp noticed something strange coming from the south.
The whole camp became more and more noisy and noisy. At this time, hundreds of horsemen, who were obviously unprepared, galloped out of the camp, screaming and shooting arrows in this direction.
The horn sound also sounded in the camp. At this time, Yang Qian suddenly heard Han Kui beside him shouting desperately at him.
"Suddenly... they want to..."
Yang Qian turned his head to look at Han Kui in confusion, but among the thousands of horses galloping, he couldn't understand what Han Kui was saying.
Just seeing this veteran soldier who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he became more and more excited and pointed forward with the long spear in his hand.
This old man looked like he had not been on the battlefield for many years. Yang Qian quickly retracted his attention, pointed his sword diagonally forward, and then flattened it with force.
There was only a stone's throw away from the Turkic camp. At this moment, more than 20,000 horsemen let out a roar that shook the sky, as if they had a tacit understanding.
"Wan Sheng!!!"
Under the cover of darkness, more than 20,000 Sui cavalry were like a black wave, bombarding the Turkic camp all over the mountains and plains.
Those hundreds of Turkic cavalry were unable to stop the Sui cavalry even for the blink of an eye. They were surrounded and devoured in an instant.
At this moment, Yang Qian felt like he was riding a horse as strong as a thousand people, charging all the way from the camp, thanks to the inertia of the nomads.
Their camp was simply a pile of felt tents, not to mention the walls, and there was no such thing as a horse.
There is no defensive camp. For the Sui cavalry who are armed to the teeth, going to the camp should not be too easy.
Not long after entering the Turkic camp, Yang Qian discovered the problem. The total number of Turks in the entire camp would probably not exceed 5,000.
Scattered resistance could not stop the charge of the 20,000 Sui cavalry.
And many Turks had already fled north on horseback before the Sui army's cavalry could rush forward, escaping so resolutely and without hesitation.
On top of the city, Yang Ning and a group of civil and military personnel stood on the wall, nervously watching the brightly lit Turkic camp in front of them.
I heard the blood boiling sound of galloping hooves, and the victorious sound that resounded throughout the world at the beginning of the attack.
Then, I saw the fire gradually breaking out in the Turkic camp, and more and more flames began to rise in the Turkic camp.
At this time, Yang Ning naturally no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the whole army to beat the drums and attack.
Accompanied by the beating of the huge war drum standing on the top of the wall, countless Sui soldiers began to march forward in a noisy manner.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zhong was extremely nervous. He really couldn't tell the outcome, but it didn't stop him from seeing the fire burning in the Turkic camp.
"Zheng Guogong, have we won?"
"It's too early to say victory now. Let's wait and see." Yang Ning shook his head. At this time, the situation is still uncertain, so he dares to say victory.
Half an hour later, Yang Qian saw the mission in his consciousness turned into a treasure box, and immediately ordered the entire army to stop fighting and not to pursue.
Yang Qian himself also felt guilty, fearing that if the Turks came to counterattack, it would be equivalent to throwing away all the results of the previous battle.
A messenger was sent back to Xinkou Pass, bringing happy and encouraging news to the anxious people on the pass wall.
The Turks were actually killed and driven back...
"Exactly, our 20,000 cavalry attacked at night. The Turkic army had no idea how many people we had."
"In addition, Turks are nomadic people, and they like to set up tents in open areas, and they do not build stronghold walls or erect tents to block horses."
"Our army rushed into the Turkic army in one go. We were so shocked that countless Turks from the Sui army fled."
Yang Qian stood on the wall and talked towards the civil and military officials.
Laizheng on the side touched his nose and felt that what Yang Qian said seemed true. Maybe, this is the truth?
No matter what, when Eunuch Wang Zhong arrived today, he said that the Turkic camp outside the city was full of people and there were countless people and horses.
Putting it this way, Yang Zijing’s words are correct.
"Because the night was dark and the soldiers were busy running around for days, there was really no way to pursue them, so we had to stay outside the city for the time being..."
Yang Qian finally finished his report. Wang Zhong beamed with joy and quickly bowed deeply to Yang Qian.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang. How about we take advantage of this great victory and march to Yanmen tomorrow?"
"Father, look..." Yang Qian cast his gaze on his father, Yang Ning, blinked at him, and moved his head slowly sideways.
Yang Ning saw Yang Qian's face turned and his gaze, and nodded understandingly.
