Chapter 268 Groups of strong generals (Happy New Year)
Outside Yanmen Pass, the Turkic Khan who caused this wave was very satisfied.
But he would never have imagined that hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry would have a perfect start, but the ending would not be so wonderful.
When Zhang Xutuo arrived at Yanmen Pass with his three confidant generals Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong and Pei Yuanqing, as well as a group of first- and second-rate generals, they were under fierce attack by the Turkic army.
Standing on the top of the nearby mountain forest not far away, you can even see countless arrows and stones flying directly into the city and hitting the area where the emperor is obviously walking.
Zhang Xutuo and others could clearly see the panicked expressions of the palace people and guards, as well as the panic-stricken state of people's hearts from the top of the mountain.
"Come on, let's attack directly into the crossbow formation of the Turkic cavalry!"
What is a warrior?
That means having the courage to charge head-on no matter what is on the other side.
Zhang Xutuo is very powerful, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong and Pei Yuanqing are even more powerful.
The four people quickly went down the mountain, ate something to restore their mental and physical strength, and then each led a few first-rate or second-rate generals to form an arrow squad and launch a rapid attack directly on the endless Turkic camp.
The four arrow squads, like four sharp spikes, cut their way through the endless Turkish army formation and reached the crossbow position without any hindrance. They did not attack the Turkic crossbowmen here.
Massacre without mercy.
It was either a heavy spear, a heavy hammer with one hand, or a heavy horse spear, which would almost kill them if they hit each other. A single move might result in a shocking scene of several Turkic soldiers vomiting blood and flying backwards.
There were almost no enemies along the way, and even the so-called brave Turkic generals could not resist their attacks.
After four months of fighting with the generals of the Wagang Army, each of them is now stronger than before.
Although it was fierce before, it definitely won't last long.
The situation is different now. Everyone has become murderous, and in a short period of time, there has been an endless bloody storm.
A small commotion suddenly occurred in the huge Turkic army formation.
The dense crossbows and arrows that originally suppressed Yanmenguan City also became sparse.
Such changes immediately attracted the attention of the top management of the Turkic Cavalry, who immediately sent people to find out what had happened.
On the other side, on the city wall of Yanmen Pass, the Sui army officers had already seen the amazing performance of the fierce Zhang Xutuo and other generals.
However, because they were too few in number and too far away to see clearly, they did not understand the origin of this group of fierce generals, so they could only report to the senior generals above.
It was the Sui army general guarding Yanmen Pass who was the first to see the identity of Zhang Xutuo and others, and suddenly the entire city wall burst into cheers.
The originally low morale was swept away and replaced by full fighting spirit.
Such a situation naturally attracted the attention of the Turkic high-level officials. At the same time, elite scouts sent to understand the situation also returned accurate information.
More than a dozen generals of the Sui army appeared out of nowhere, and each one was extremely fierce. They charged directly back and forth among the huge formation of Turkic cavalry, and the Turkic soldiers could not stop them along the way.
"Kill, give me the Sui army generals who appear, kill them all without leaving a single one behind!"
At the beginning, Khan was so angry that he directly called the generals around him and the famous warriors from the tribes outside the Great Wall to set off immediately.
This opportunity to besiege Sui Emperor Yang Guang was too rare, and he did not want to waste it at all, nor did he want any accidents to happen midway.
Unfortunately, there were too many Turkic cavalry formations. By the time the brave generals who were ordered to kill them arrived, Zhang Xutuo and others had no idea where they had gone.
They had no choice but to follow the shocking bloody roads, hoping to quickly find this group of extremely fierce Sui generals and annihilate them all.
At this time, the morale-boosted Sui troops defending the city basically stabilized the crumbling city wall defenses. At the same time, the news reached the panicked Sui Emperor Yang Guang.
"What, there is my great Sui general charging back and forth in the Turkic army formation outside the city?"
He was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Do you know who the general is?"
"Your Majesty, it should be General Zhang Xutuo, the general of Xingyang Tongshou, the ambassador of the Central Plains against thieves, and a group of powerful generals under his command!"
It's not that there are no talented people in the Sui army, it's just that they haven't been able to display them.
"Zhang Xutuo?"
Yang Guang reacted immediately and said in surprise: "Why did he come so quickly?"
Then he felt happy again and asked urgently: "Does it mean that the reinforcements from the hinterland of the Central Plains have arrived and I can leave this ghost place?"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Xutuo is accompanied by more than a dozen generals!"
The general who reported the report smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that they should have traveled all night to come to the rescue. As for the reinforcements, they will definitely not be able to come for a while!"
"That's it..."
The disappointment is all written on his face. How can Yang Guang still be as high-spirited as when he just left Luodu?
"Your Majesty, should we send troops to assist Zhang Xutuo and the others?"
At this time, the general who reported the situation couldn't help but suggested: "After all, there are only a dozen of them. Even though they are all powerful generals with extraordinary martial arts skills, they cannot withstand the large number of Turks!"
In my heart, I really admire the crazy actions of Zhang Xutuo and his fierce generals.
His face naturally showed it. After all, this was the first Sui army to come to support them. Although the number was a little small, it could boost morale.
As mentioned earlier, it is not that Yang Guang was not guarded by his own soldiers. At this time, there were more than 170,000 Sui soldiers in Yanmen Pass.
Among them, at least more than 150,000 are Yang Guang's pro-military elites.
Don't doubt the combat effectiveness of the emperor's own army. They were the real elite who followed Yang Guang in three expeditions to Goguryeo and wiped out Yang Xuangan's rebellion.
The reason for the poor performance of Yang Guang, the leader, was that he conveyed panic to the soldiers.
In addition, I was also taken aback by the sudden and violent attack of the Turkic cavalry, and I still didn't fully react.
Otherwise, with the elite combat power of the Sui army, one hundred thousand horses and horses rushed out of Yanmen Pass, and they would not be without the power to fight hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry.
What is needed is just a general who can stabilize the morale of the army and even lead the Sui army to defeat the Turkic army.
And Zhang Xutuo happened to be such a character.
Even more fierce than him was the late fierce general Shi Wansui who dared to fight hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry by himself. That was truly a fierce force.
"No, the city gate cannot be opened randomly. Who knows if there is any fraud?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Guang's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations, and he flatly rejected the proposal of the general who came to report.
Just for a moment, the hearts of Wen and Wu present almost completely gave up on Yang Guang.
Obviously, Yang Guang, who overreacted and was even stupid, did not know how seriously his actions would impact people's hearts.
After all, he had never experienced any setbacks. Even if he was captured by Fu Cailin in Goguryeo, his life would not be in great danger. Fu Cailin was too polite and did not dare to neglect him.
But in Yanmenguan City, he really felt the threat of death.
The most dangerous time was when the Turks' sharp arrows were only a few feet away from him.
That time, Yang Guang's mentality completely collapsed.
The performance at this time is very much like breaking the pot and throwing it away.
Not to mention that he didn't realize his mistake at all, and even if he reacted, he wouldn't care. His own life is more important than anything else.
However, things developed beyond everyone's imagination.
Just as the monarch and his ministers were talking, Zhang Xutuo and his fierce generals, who had entered the Turkic army formation, were already together.
Each and every one of them was covered in blood, as if the murderous god had come to earth. The murderous aura of more than a dozen generals was condensed together. The murderous aura soaring into the sky frightened the nearby Turkic soldiers to turn pale, and their hands and feet trembled.
He casually glanced behind him and saw that all the second-rate generals who followed him had died in battle.
However, Zhang Xutuo had no worries in his heart. He pointed his palm toward Yanmen Pass and roared: "Kill, let's kill to Yanmen Pass!"
After saying that, he raised his weapon and charged forward. Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong and Pei Yuanqing laughed wildly, and then rode up one after another.
At this time, their hearts and eyes were full of killing, and they did not pay attention to the endless Turkic cavalry at all.
Kill, kill, kill, just kill.
At this time, their state of excitement reached the extreme, and every move carried an extremely tragic aura, causing death and injury wherever the weapons passed.
Not only that, even if they were affected by the brutal murderous aura carried on their weapons and bodies, they would not be able to escape the state of fear for a while.
At this time, even the strong masters in front could not withstand their crazy and violent charge.
All the Turkic masters with some discernment were now hidden among the densely packed iron cavalry, and did not dare to face the crazy evil aura of Zhang Xutuo and others.
Even a sneak attack with a bow or crossbow would not bring his own aura, for fear of attracting these killing gods.
Such a situation naturally made Zhang Xutuo and others kill even more happily. They actually withstood countless Turkic soldiers and cut a shocking bloody path.
Amid the cheers of the Sui soldiers guarding Yanmen Pass, they forcibly penetrated the thick military formation that was almost ten miles long and reached outside the Yanmen Pass city wall.
Regardless of what Yang Guang thought, the Sui generals who stayed on the city wall directly ordered the city gate to be opened and brought in Zhang Xutuo and others, who were already less than ten in number.
Respect the brave warriors in the army, it’s that simple!
As a result, Yang Guang received the news very quickly, and he was immediately confused and felt incredible.
Just now we were discussing whether to send people out of the city to respond, but in the end they just killed their way through the Turkic army and entered the city.
Not to mention Yang Guang, all the civil and military ministers present were confused.
Since all the fierce generals in Emperor Wen's era had fallen, there have been few such fierce generals in the Sui army.
At this time, the civil and military ministers also respected the fierce generals very much.
Just look at the peak of martial arts in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which continued the military merit system left over from the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
As a result, Zhang Xutuo and his fierce generals, covered in blood and filled with evil aura, appeared directly in front of Sui Emperor Yang Guang...
Happy New Year. On the first day of the Year of the Tiger, I wish all my book friends a prosperous and prosperous career, a successful family and a happy life.
