Wang Junlin's order to Li Xuanba was for him to lead the 20,000 cavalrymen of the Bao Xiong Battalion, board a naval warship, bypass the Goguryeo Peninsula, go through the Waguo Strait, land on the east coast of the Turks, and attack the Turks' home base.
Moreover, Wang Junlin also asked Li Xuanba to lead 20,000 cavalry to disrupt the Turks' lair as much as possible.
With such an order, Li Xuanba led 20,000 cavalry and went straight into the depths of the grassland with murderous intent.
The so-called besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao is what Li Xuanba is doing now. In fact, for Li Xuanba, attacking the Turks' home base is the best rescue method for the Sui Dynasty. And the harder they beat the Turks on the grassland,
, the effect will be better.
Just imagine, your home base was killed and plundered by a surprise army sent by Wang Junlin. The Turkic army in Yanmen County can still stay, so naturally you have to rush back to look after your home. At this time, even Shibi Khan's words are useless.
.
As long as the Turkic army is confused and rushes to retreat to its base, most of the army's combat power will be lost invisibly. Not only will the crisis in Yanmen City be resolved, but in this case, Wang Junlin will have the opportunity to lead his troops to kill a large number of Turks.
Even the entire Turkic army was annihilated.
Of course, the final outcome of all the plans and the simultaneous unfolding of several battlefields depends on the response of Shibi Khan.
If Khan retreats decisively and is good at maintaining his own military strength, the final result is really uncertain, because after all, even if Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu cooperate with each other, the Turkic army has already suffered nearly 100 losses in Yanmen City and other places.
200,000 people, but the remaining more than 200,000 Turkic cavalry still have an overall advantage over the Sui army in terms of strength and combat effectiveness.

Ten miles north of Yanmen County, on a hill covered with grass, Gao Chengfeng, the captain of the special forces reconnaissance team, used a telescope to observe a Turkic forage team on the official road. There were six team members around, lying on the dense grass and trees.
In the middle, his body was covered with a piece of withered yellow camouflage cloth, and some dry branches and leaves were inserted into the hat on his head.
"Two thousand cavalry, escorting one hundred carts of grain and grass."
While Gao Chengfeng was talking, a team member kept writing on a booklet with a pencil. They all used symbols to draw a similar shape, which was also used exclusively by the special operations team.
Their team was one of the five teams with the highest scores in the comprehensive assessment of concealment, concealment, and reconnaissance. Among them were many disguisers and light kung fu masters. Zhang Tiangang assigned them to be responsible for reconnaissance of the Turkic army's food and fodder, baggage escorts, and checkpoints.
They walked the nearby mountain roads during the day and the main road at night. After arriving on the grassland north of Yanmen City, they only slept for four hours in two days. Finally, they and the other five reconnaissance teams thoroughly investigated the Turkic army escorting Liaocao.
Troop strength, routes, rules, etc.
All this food and grass was transported from the Turkic logistics camp eighty miles away, but there were 30,000 Turkic cavalry guarding it, and they were extremely vigilant, and the logistics camp was extremely tightly guarded. Zhang Tiangang led a special force of 1,000 people out.
, I tried to infiltrate several times, but it didn’t have much effect, and I killed dozens of people.
Zhang Tiangang retreated decisively, preparing to cut off the Turks' food routes.
After the scouts figured out the Turks' grain routes and the patterns of the teams delivering grain and grass, the next step was to notify the main force of the special forces to dispatch to destroy the Turks' grain and grass.
The Turkic cavalry rumbled on the official road, and the formation was neat. Not many people were chatting and laughing, with the arrogance of a warrior who has fought a hundred battles. Gao Chengfeng sighed on the ground, thinking that after tonight, you will have time to cry.
.
"Let's wait until dark to see if there is any rear team, and then send two people back to deliver the message, and the others will follow the Turkic grain team." Gao Chengfeng ordered the six team members under his command.

Night, midnight, also known as midnight or midnight, is the first hour among the twelve o'clock. It is also the time when human sleep is the deepest. A Turkic team transporting grain and grass ushered in a group of ghost-like uninvited guests.
It must be said that the Turks escorted the grain and grass team very carefully. There were two layers of sentries on the outside, and there were mobile sentries in the camp. The layout of the camp was also very reasonable, with the grain and grass in the middle, and the camping tents surrounding it.
However, all this is nothing in front of this group of special forces who are no longer ordinary soldiers.
A total of more than 100 sentries in the outer two layers of cordon were silently covered with their mouths and throats cut without making any sound.
In the end, there were not many people who sneaked into the camp, only twenty people. However, these twenty people were the twenty most outstanding in the special force's night walking skills. They were all wearing special night walking clothes, which would not reflect at all under the moonlight.
, everyone has a backpack, which contains key items for them to complete the mission.
The more than forty wandering sentries they encountered soon had all died silently. Twenty of them successfully sneaked into the center of the camp where food and grass were piled, quickly opened their backpacks, took out the fuel packs from inside, and poured them one after another.
On more than a hundred grain and grass carts, each person placed a gunpowder bag in a place where the fire would not reach them.
…………
…………
"Enemy attack!"
"on fire."
"It's over. All the food and grass are on fire."
When the twenty people quietly and quickly left to the edge of the camp, the fire on more than a hundred grain and grass carts was already very strong, and finally alerted the Turkic cavalry escorting the grain and grass. All the Turkic cavalry roared and ran out in disheveled clothes.
The officers shouted to put out the fire, and some shouted to kill the enemy. There were also some headless blue wings running around.
However, in general, this Turkic cavalry responded quickly, and they also brought certain fire-fighting tools with them. The tribal leaders who led the team were also very organized. Some of them were on guard outside, but most of them were putting out fires. However, when
When they rushed forward to put out the fire, six powder bags hidden in the grain and grass exploded. This gunpowder bag was the largest type of gunpowder bag produced by the Far Eastern Army, weighing 25 kilograms. One can imagine the power of the explosion.
The final result was that more than 540 Turkic soldiers who participated in putting out the fire were killed and more than 200 were injured. Most importantly, a hundred carts of grain and grass were burned to ashes.
Almost at the same time, this scene also happened in two other Turkic teams transporting grain and grass and a team of baggage.

Outside Yanmen City, in the Turkic camp, Shibi Khan looked ugly. The current situation is that they are about to capture Yanmen City, but reinforcements from the Sui Dynasty are coming, and there will be more and more.
. And in just a few days, they unexpectedly lost nearly 180,000 people.
Right now, the only way they can keep the fruits of victory is to capture Yanmen City and capture the Sui Emperor Yang Guang alive.
