Chapter 1397: The fear in the heart of the Turkic Khan
Although all the five hundred soldiers led by Li Shimin and Hou Junji died, the strength of the Turkic Golden Wolf Guards was exhausted. Therefore, this wave of Turkic Golden Wolf Guards rushed to fight and were beaten by the Taiyuan County soldiers until they fled.
However, Li Shimin did not think about killing the Turks Shibi Khan again, but rationally issued an order: "Stop chasing the escaped Turks. Just block the mouth of the valley and leave the Turks still in the valley."
"Block the entrance of the valley and kill the Turks inside the valley!" Li Shimin's soldiers shouted loudly and conveyed the order to all the soldiers in Taiyuan County. The Turks who had not yet had time to escape from the valley were immediately locked up in the valley, and those who had already escaped were locked in the valley.
The Turks in the valley had no intention of turning around to save their companions, and fled quickly.
The Turks who had not escaped from the valley were already dizzy from the smoke. Their bodies were staggering forward with snot and tears. They also trampled on each other in order to escape first. As a result, when they ran to the mouth of the valley, they saw that the Sui army was on the way.
It's already blocked.
Seeing that they could not escape from the valley, the Turks rushed towards the hillsides on both sides of the valley. However, the Sui troops on both sides of the valley who had previously been in charge of archery and collecting stones were still there. At this time, the stones and arrows had been used up, so they rushed one after another.
Go out and kill the Turks.
The Turks in the valley had lost their courage. They had very little fighting strength left, but they no longer had the will to fight to the death. They were easily overthrown and killed by the Sui army. The Sui army became more and more courageous and excited as they killed.
The Turkic flags were snatched away and thrown into the fire. The Turkic soldiers were driven away like sheep.
The Turks realized that a disaster was approaching and ran around crying. Some people were stunned by the thick smoke and threw themselves directly on the tip of the Sui army's sword. Some people dropped their weapons and curled their bodies into the cracks of the rocks, trying to escape punishment.
, but was mercilessly killed by the Sui army.
The Turkic troops in the valley were constantly squeezed, divided, and cut into small pieces, then chopped up and trampled down by the Sui soldiers, and sent back to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven.
Several Sui soldiers stabbed a Turkic man down with a long spear. The injured man screamed loudly, but the Turkic warriors approaching him had no intention of saving him. They didn't even intend to resist, they just lowered their heads and ran for their lives, just grateful to be stabbed.
The person is not oneself.
At this moment, they were no longer wolves, but stupid roe deer who were being slaughtered by others. They did not seek to run the fastest, but only sought to run no slower than their companions. As for the scimitars in their hands and the arrows at their waists, everything was at stake at this moment.
It has become a decoration. They can’t remember to use it, and they don’t dare to use it.
On the other side, Shibi Khan led more than 60,000 people without looking back, and ran away quickly, blending into the boundless darkness in the distance.
"General Wang, why did you let them go on purpose?" Li Shimin was very dissatisfied as he watched Shibi Khan escape. He couldn't help but angrily asked Wang Rengong, who was usually quite respectful.
"The Turks have more troops than us, and the Golden Wolf Guards are extremely brave, so I can't intercept them!" Wang Rengong narrowed his eyes, but he was not angry because Li Shimin disrespected him, "Besides, Shibi Khan can't escape us.
How could you escape the interception and killing by the Far Eastern Army at the first level? You kid, don’t even think about it. If you don’t release the Golden Wolf Guards led by the Turkic Khan, these Turkic people in the valley will be so easy to kill, and what will they turn into from wolves?
spore?"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, he nodded, and said with a smile: "What General Wang said is absolutely true."
After a pause, Li Shimin said again: "King Qin An can ignore His Majesty the Emperor, but we are loyal ministers of the Sui Dynasty. His Majesty's ministers should go to Yanmen City to meet His Majesty the Emperor."

After running away all night, Shibi Khan finally escaped from the Great Wall and came to the territory of the Turks.
"Great Khan, our logistics camp is five miles ahead. Do you want to go over and rest for a while so that everyone can replenish food and grass?" A tribal leader panted and leaned forward, asking Khan Shibi in a low voice.
Zhang Tiangang took advantage of the emptiness of the Turkic logistics camp to burn nearly half of the food and grass in the logistics camp, and dispersed hundreds of thousands of sheep and cattle. Later, when the 20,000 Turkic cavalry who stayed here came back, at most
Five thousand people were dispatched to escort the grain and fodder, but they still could not stop the elusive special forces on the road from burning the grain and fodder. However, no matter how many people were sent, they did not dare to send more grain and fodder. However, nearly half of the grain and fodder in the logistics camp were saved.
"Go around the camp, order Gubara to set fire to all the food and grass, and then follow quickly!" Shibi Khan thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and issued the order.
"Khan, the warriors don't have much food and grass with them." The tribal leader looked in disbelief, widened his eyes, and reminded in a low voice, "Why don't we let everyone go in and bring some food and grass each person to burn. Anyway, it's not too late.
The Sui army didn't catch up last night, so why did the Great Khan leave in such a hurry?"
"Idiot!" Shibi Khan shouted coldly, and a whip was whipped down on his head and face. "If you are told to go, go as soon as possible. If you delay any longer, we will all die on the road, and no one can go back."
If it had been in the past, Shibi Khan would not have slapped the tribe leader like this, because the latter's tribe was also a large tribe with more than 20,000 cavalry. But last night, the tribe leader only focused on escaping for his life, and finally took a few people with him.
Hundreds of people followed the Golden Wolf Guards and fled here, while all the rest of the tribe's troops were buried in the valley.
The Turks respected strength, so without the army in hand, this leader's status suddenly plummeted.
Although the tribal leader was very unhappy, he also knew that this was the rule of the Turks. He had no military power in his hands. No matter how much he suffered, he could only hold it in. He bowed deeply to Shibi and accompanied him.
With a smile on his face, he said: "Yes, yes, Khan, I will send someone right away and ask Gubara to set fire to all the food and grass. We will go directly around and go north, leaving nothing behind for the Sui people!"
"Go!" Shibi Khan secretly sighed. He didn't want to burn so much food and grass if it was not necessary. The grasslands are not rich in products. It is not easy to gather so much food and grass. It is enough for a large tribe of hundreds of thousands of people.
Eat it for several months.
Shibi Khan now led more than 60,000 people and rushed into the city to grab a small bundle for each person. It didn't take half an hour to move all the precious food.
But the problem is that Shibi Khan knew very well that bringing food and grass would only become a burden for them and a waste of time.
Shibi Khan always has a sense of urgency and crisis, like an old wolf that has been running around for many years. He instinctively feels that there is danger hidden behind the night.
This danger is naturally due to the fact that Wang Junlin and his Far Eastern Army never showed up in the interception last night.
Therefore, Shibi Khan just wanted to retreat north to his home base as soon as possible. The faster the better, the farther the better.
