However, Yanmen City, which was about to be conquered, came once with the 20,000 people led by Wang Junlin, and the morale of the defenders in the city returned to its peak, and they were even more desperate than before.
Just when Khan was worried, another soldier almost rolled in and said loudly: "Reporting to the Khan, the three teams of grain, fodder and baggage were attacked, and all the grain and fodder were burned!"
Shibi Khan jumped up, and Shibi Khan's younger brother Ashina Dubisi next to him almost fell to the ground. Their faces were ashen, and Ashina Dubisi said: "Fortunately, from Yan before
There is still a lot of grain and grass collected from the other five counties of Men County, and now our army outside Yanmen City is only more than half of what it was when we came, which is enough to last until the next grain and grass shipment."
However, immediately after another soldier rushed in: "Qi Khan. General Tuge, who was guarding the logistics camp, personally led an army of 20,000 to chase the Sui army who looted and burned food and grass on the road. As a result, the logistics camp was empty and the logistics camp was empty.
The camp was attacked by thieves, nearly half of the grain and grass in it were burned, and countless cattle and sheep were driven away."
Shibi Khan, who had just stood up, staggered and almost fell to the ground. At this moment, he wanted to cut into pieces the general Tuge who was escorting the grain and fodder and guarding the grain and fodder of the logistics camp.
"Khan, what should we do now?" Ashina asked through gritted teeth.
Khan thought for a moment and then said: "The Sui Dynasty has plenty of food and grass. As long as we capture Yanmen City, there will be food and grass in the city. Even if it is not enough, with the Sui Emperor in hand, we can force the Sui people to send food and grass."
, not to mention Liu Wuzhou, who sent someone over to ask him to deliver food and grass."
"But the opportunity missed now is irreversible. We still follow the previous plan, while defending the Sui army's reinforcements from attacking the camp, we will attack Yanmen City with all our strength and capture Yang Guang alive. As long as Xi Guang is captured, the entire Sui army will be
He knows how to throw a rat weapon."

Deep in the grassland, near a tribe on the eastern side of the Turks near the east coast, several horses galloped towards them, disturbing the pheasants and hares who were foraging in the withered grass. They either flew or jumped around and fled deep into the grassland quickly.
There are very few trees on the grassland, and even if there are, they don’t grow very big. A two-foot-tall wild elm tree
The tree opened a huge umbrella, which was very eye-catching in the wilderness.
The leading knight reined in his horse, took a closer look at the tribe below the hillside, smiled coldly, and said to one of the knights: "A medium-sized tribe, about ten thousand tents, take one person back to report the news and lead the way."
The cavalryman agreed and turned his horse's head and galloped away. The remaining three cavalrymen jumped off their horses and led their horses into the shade of the trees. This was not to provide shade, but to cover and hide themselves.
Two of them took off their armor, and the other one stood under the shade of a tree on guard. Looking at their attire, you could tell that they were three scouts.
They had only rested for a while, burning incense, when a black line slowly appeared on the grassland from the mountain col in the distance.
The hillside is located on the south side of the foothills, with plenty of sunshine, and there are half-expanded mountain cols on the left and right. If it can block the cold wind in winter, plus the thick camel felt and cattle felt, it can be enough for the herdsmen to withstand the severe cold in winter.
In the civil strife of the Sui Dynasty in the past few years, the Turks in the north were the overlords. They had always been the only ones to rob the Han, Tubo and Khitan people. No one had ever dared to come to the powerful Turks to rob them. The relatively comfortable living environment made it difficult for them to live in peace.
They were even less vigilant and did not even send out any warning sentries.
Therefore, it was not until the enemy came to Li Xuwai that they were alerted by the thunderous sound of horse hooves.
"Woo... Wuwu..." The shrill horn sound sounded in the tribe. The warriors in the tribe were all startled. They hurriedly ran out of their tents with weapons in hand and hurried towards the tied horses.
.
The horse has not yet put on the saddle, but the sound of the horn is getting louder and louder. It is obvious that the enemy situation is very urgent. Most of the tribal warriors do not bother to put on the saddle. They carry the long bow and hang it on their shoulders, and take a pot of arrows and slant it on their shoulders.
He jumped onto the horse's back and quickly gathered in the direction from which the enemy was coming.
However, as soon as they gathered together, countless arrows were reflected in their pupils, getting closer and closer, until the entire pupils were completely covered by a sudden dense rain of sharp arrows...
This Turkic tribe is called the Luye tribe. It is one of the top ten tribes in the eastern part of the Turks. It has more than 8,000 tribes, a population of more than 30,000, more than 10,000 adult males, and more than 4,000 warriors. It’s just that
, there were only two thousand warriors left in the clan, and more than two thousand warriors followed Shibi Khan to the Sui Kingdom and have not returned yet.
After a fight, all about 2,000 cavalry gathered by the Luye tribe were killed.
Twenty thousand cavalry quickly divided into two wings like running water and surrounded the more than eight thousand tents. Li Xuanba, the leader of the Storm Bear Camp, was riding among them and led a thousand cavalry towards the central army. All the people of the Luye tribe were looking around for the knights.
They concentrated there under their pressure.
The women and children held the children's hands and obeyed the orders silently, with expressions full of hatred. Then, led by several elders, they knelt down to Li Xuanba, kowtowed repeatedly, their foreheads pounding and bleeding, begging to be bypassed.
.
However, Li Xuanba ignored them at all and ordered: "Kill all the men who can ride horses, then loot their food and grass, and burn their tents."
Half an hour later, all the Luye tribe members except the old, weak, women and children were killed, and all their tents were burned to ashes. Li Xuanba had already left with his army, and after resting, he moved on to fight the next tribe.
So far, including the Luye tribe, they have raided seven Turkic tribes and won all of them, but in total they also killed more than a thousand warriors.

After Wang Junlin led the Tornado Battalion and hundreds of thousands of Qinwang's reinforcements to defeat two waves of one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry, he did not immediately attack the Turkic camp again, because although they killed 780,000 or 80,000 Turkic cavalry in this battle, they themselves
There were also many casualties.
The Far Eastern Army's Tornado Battalion, as the main force, suffered more than 2,000 casualties. The 140,000 reinforcements including Li Shimin and Wang Rengong suffered as many as 50,000 casualties.
Therefore, there is still a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and our forces in Yanmen County. The Turks still have 220,000 cavalry, while the King Qin led by Wang Junlin only has about 100,000 cavalry.
It's just that Wang Junlin is always aware of the situation in Yanmen City, so they are not in a hurry to lead people to rescue. Wang Junlin doesn't say anything and doesn't lead everyone to fight the Turks. How can other people dare to go, except Wang Rengong who comes here
In addition to persuading Wang Junlin to send troops to rescue Yanmen City as soon as possible and rescue His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible, no one else dared to come to Wang Junlin to say anything.
There is naturally a reason why Wang Junlin is not in a hurry to launch an attack.
