Shen Guoer ignored Village Leader Wang and continued: "Master Wang, you choose three thousand people. There are not enough men. Some strong women can also do it. Our people will be responsible for teaching them how to operate the fast crossbow, and then I will also send someone to report the matter here to the prince, and the prince will definitely send troops over, so you don’t have to worry."
The leader of Wangzhai was immediately overjoyed and said: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty. Thank you very much, Commander Shen."
The village leader obviously had some knowledge and was aware of some of Wang Junlin's ambitions, and his words were obviously intended to violate taboos. But Shen Guoer would not take these words to heart, because they made no sense.
But there was one thing Shen Guoer didn't tell the leader of the Wang Village. This Wangjia Fort would become another bait for Wang Junlin. Under the cooperation between him and Nie Xiaoyu, the Turks would continue to send troops to rescue their dead companions. To take revenge, they were killed one after another by people sent by Wang Junlin.

At the gate of Wangjiabao, flames rose into the sky.
Everything within twenty steps outside the Wangjiabao Wall was engulfed in a sea of fire, and the sky was filled with blood-red fire.
In the darkness where the fireworks could not reach, there were nearly two thousand Turkic soldiers lurking, each of them a little frightened and unwilling.
"I was discovered by the people in this fortress in advance."
"It's not a discovery. It seems that I have been prepared for it."
"How is this possible? We made a temporary decision to come to this fort. Could it be that they had already guessed that we would raid this fort at night? This really doesn't make sense."
"The sound of arrows is so urgent."
Several Turkic leaders were discussing in the dark night, and there was some panic in their words. Anyone who saw the originally dark Wangjia Fort suddenly illuminated by fire would feel palpitations. These Turkic soldiers actually gave people a faint feeling. A feeling of death like a moth flying into a flame.
The Turk leader who led the team had already turned extremely ugly, but he had no choice but to order his troops to retreat.
The Sui soldiers could have ambushed them nearby and captured them all, but Wang Junlin naturally would not do this.
Only when these more than a thousand Turkic soldiers fled back, with the cooperation of Nie Xiaoyu, could Shibi Khan have reason to send more Turkic troops to attack Wangjiapu for revenge.

High morale, reasonable command, and abundant military supplies provide an innate advantage for defense. The so-called weather, location, and people are all present, but the Turkic army seems to have none of these three.
In this case, even if the Turkic army was outnumbered by nearly ten times the defenders, Wang Junlin did not have to worry too much about the possibility that Yanmen City and the Wangjia Fort he planned could not be defended.
Of course, the most important thing is that as the days go by, Wang Junlin's various unexpected arrangements outside Yanmen City are about to play a vital role.
For example, local tycoons such as Wangjiabao in Yanmen County, with the guidance and ordnance help of the Military Intelligence Office led by Shen Guoer, have gradually grown in size. Their combat experience, skills, and tactics have grown rapidly, and their overall combat effectiveness has continued to increase. Coupled with this, Being familiar with the terrain, not only would it be difficult for the Turks to grab food and grass, but they would also be attacked by these people, whom Wang Junlin called 'militiamen', which would inevitably distract the Turkic army's energy and strength.
Also, the powerful combat effectiveness of the special forces, coupled with their elusive and unpredictable capabilities, has basically completely cut off the supply of grain and grass brought by the Turkic army from the rear. Unless the Turkic army is willing to dispatch tens of thousands of troops each time to escort the grain and grass, it will be possible to maintain They have food and grass supplies, but they won't have so many troops to mobilize for a while.
Deeper in the prairie, the 20,000 violent bear battalion cavalry led by Li Xuanba are alone. It is conceivable that the killing into the Turkic lair will be very tragic and the casualties will be considerable, but for Shibi Khan and
The shock and impact were greatest on the leaders of the various Turkic tribes and even on the entire Turkic people.
In the new bait Wangjiapu, people from the Military Intelligence Department and the Far East Army's supply camp had planned to mobilize unimaginable military supplies from the rear in the two or three days it took to repel the first wave of Turks.
There are only three thousand people, but they have nearly a hundred giant guns and crossbows, fifty trebuchets, fast crossbows ten times the number of people, iron armor three times the number of people, and a large number enough to fight a fifty thousand army.
Yue's crossbow arrows and feather arrows, and even five hundred gunpowder packets.
With such an abundant supply of military supplies, without Nie Xiaoyu's presence, the Turks would certainly not have foolishly sent people over to attack Wangjiapu one after another, and sending people over would have resulted in death.
Since the Yancheng weapons production base in Fanyang County of the Far Eastern Army had hydraulic machinery, the speed of producing weapons and equipment has been far beyond what the Sui Dynasty court and all the forces in the world could have guessed, and the quality of the same items is much better than that of the Sui Dynasty.
The most important thing is that the Far Eastern Army has gunpowder bags, nine-shot fast crossbows, giant guns, crossbows, mines and other enemy-killing weapons that the Sui Dynasty and other forces do not have.
In short, Wang Junlin dared to use a small Wangjiapu as a bait to face the Turkic army with more than 3,000 troops, and the subsequent elite troops of at least tens of thousands each time. The real confidence was not only various unexpected and clever arrangements, but also
The large number of these weapons delivered to Wangjiabao are so large that they can be used at will.

The Turkic army knew that time was running out and that they could only survive by capturing Yanmen City and capturing Yang Guang alive. Therefore, while sending people out to plunder food and grass, they also launched a night attack on Yanmen City at night.
Shibi Khan knew that his side did not have a good rest last night, and the Yanmen City defenders also did not have a good rest. Moreover, the Turkic army only dispatched 40,000 people in the battle last night, but all the Yanmen City defenders must have been there.
The city was defended without any rest.
Therefore, the Turkic army began to attack Yanmen City early in the morning.
Because this offensive and defensive battle revolved around His Majesty the Sui Emperor from the beginning, the Turkic army on the attacking side was scrambling for time, and the gains gained by conquering the city were unimaginable. The defending side of Yanmen City was overwhelmed by the arrival of reinforcements led by Wang Junlin.
The military's fighting spirit became extremely firm.
Therefore, this offensive and defensive battle had become extremely brutal by this time. The number of casualties on both sides was increasing rapidly every moment, but the number of people killed by the Turkic army attacking the city was about twice as high as that of the defenders.
Today's first wave of offensive and defensive battles lasted for nearly two hours. They attacked the city several times, but in the end they failed to break the city. The Turkic soldiers finally waited for the signal to retreat and retreated like the tide. Just like the waves on the beach after low tide.
Shrimps, crabs and shells, they left more than a thousand corpses under the city, and almost the same number of wounded.
