"Order him to come over." Yu Juluo said with a smile. He suddenly thought of a strategy that could defeat the Turks as soon as possible, and he felt that it was very suitable for Wang Junlin to implement this strategy.
Wang Junlin rushed over. According to the military etiquette during the march, he raised his hands on his horse and said meticulously: "The last general, Wang Junlin, pays homage to the Governor!"
Yu Juluo stared at Wang Junlin with a calm expression for a long time, and nodded appreciatively. The latter was not arrogant and arrogant because he had made a great achievement and was suddenly promoted to level four. This made him distrust Wang Junlin.
He was very satisfied and thought highly of it. Obviously, Wang Junlin was able to lead more than 20 people to capture Longxi City by himself. This was certainly due to the efficacy of the strange poison and some luck, but it was definitely not
Came by luck.
"Wang Junlin, I have an important task for you. I wonder if you have the confidence to complete it?" Yu Juluo said.
Wang Junlin immediately said: "Please give me your guidance, and I will definitely go all out to complete the important task."
Yuguluo said: "According to the fighting habits of nomadic peoples such as the Turks and Tuyuhun, when they march eastward with an army of more than 200,000, there must be a large number of cattle, sheep, and grain and grass two hundred miles behind as logistical supplies. I will give you some
Four thousand people, plus your headquarters, totaling five thousand cavalry, you will lead us along the route of Xiping County, bypassing Shuiquan Pass, and searching for the enemy behind the enemy lines. If you can destroy their logistics camp, you will have achieved great success, my commander.
I guarantee that you will be knighted after the war. If the logistics camp is difficult to destroy, you can attack their teams transporting grain and grass, cut off their grain and grass transportation lines, and cut off the supplies of the Turkic army. Well, take an Eagle Letter with you when you leave."
"General, I obey!" Wang Junlin was overjoyed when he heard this. Although this kind of thing is dangerous, in his opinion, it is much safer than leading his men and horses to mix among the 80,000 troops and fight with hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops in a few days.
.The most important thing is that he is best at lurking and making sneak attacks. He used to do this alone or with a fire scout, but now he does the same with an army of five thousand.
Wang Junlin took the command arrow handed over by the civil order officer next to him, turned his horse's head and ran towards his subordinates. On the way, he handed the command arrow to Wu San and asked him to mobilize the other four thousand cavalry according to the military order.
The Sui army's scout team also kept goshawks to deliver messages, but it was not easy to keep hawks, and many Han people lacked such talents, so the number of goshawks was very small, and there were only three goshawks in Yujuluo's 100,000-strong army.
Eagle, let Wang Junlin take one away this time, which shows that Wang Junlin has great expectations for the task he will undertake.
Not long after, the five thousand cavalry left the group and galloped towards the northwest. Yu Juluo stared at Wang Junlin's retreating back, thinking that it would depend on this guy if he could defeat the Turks as soon as possible.
…
Under the influence of the Nestorian Bodo Dharma King, Tuyuhun and the Western Turks, who had a lot of hatred for the Turks, joined forces to attack Yongzhou in the Sui Dynasty. According to the agreement, Tuyuhun took the lead, but in just five days of attacking Jincheng, Tuyuhun lost nearly ten thousand people. Therefore,
After the arrival of the Turkic army, the Tuyuhun people were no longer willing to attack Jincheng. They only focused on plundering Han people and property, and then transported them back to their home bases of Fulochuan and Fuqi City in the Qilian Mountains.
Tuyuhun, like the Turks, is a tribal system. When looting property, tribes are used as units. Before the remaining 40,000 troops dispersed, King Bailan, who led the army, could still control them freely, but now they are scattered.
Transformed into robbers, even King Bailan found it difficult to gather them together in a short period of time.
Therefore, after discovering the arrival of reinforcements from the Sui Dynasty, although King Bailan sent messengers to gather and deploy everywhere, a full day still passed and only more than 20,000 people were summoned. The other 10,000 people were still fighting on their own and looting property.
and population.
In fact, the reason why more than 20,000 people were able to be gathered together so quickly was because these people were all in and around Pinglan County, the most prosperous town in Jincheng County. However, when King Bailan just gathered these people together, the Sui army cavalry
General Liu Fang led 25,000 cavalry and appeared within their sight.
Without any unnecessary nonsense or testing, the front teams of both sides began to charge almost at the same time.
Soon the cavalry on both sides were fifty steps apart, and their horse speed increased to the fastest, approaching at a speed of about twenty meters per second. The faces of the Sui cavalry in the front row all turned red, their eyes widened, they grasped the spears in their hands, and pointed at the opposite side.
The Tuconghun cavalry, who was running at the front, also had a fierce look on his face, waving his saber in his hand, and prepared the most agile chopping posture.
At one hundred steps, the cavalrymen on both sides fired arrows at the rear. At this time, there were still people trying to shoot arrows. Waves of light arrows fired from the cavalry bows flew back and forth. More than a hundred Sui cavalry were hit. Because of the good
Because of the armor defense, only a dozen people fell off their horses and disappeared in a blink of an eye in a short distance. As for the Tuyuhun cavalry, more than 40 people fell off their horses.
"Kill!" The cavalry from both sides burst into a roar of exhaustion at the last moment.
boom!
The two torrents of horses collided head-on. Countless pieces of broken gun shafts and blades flew around. The sound of breaking and the collision of men and horses continued. The sound of the friction between gun blades and armor made people's teeth sore. The horses that couldn't avoid each other collided with each other, causing their bones to break.
, some horses were knocked into the air, and some fell to the ground with their riders, rolling desperately on the ground.
People were flipping over, blood was splattering everywhere, the soldiers were howling, the horses were neighing, and accompanied by the sound of drums and horns, the two sides soon became completely involved in a dark fight.
…
King Bailan sat upright on his horse with a white wolf-headed flag behind him. He looked solemnly at the Sui army cavalry who had spread out their formation to attack in an orderly manner. He felt a little uneasy and said in a deep voice: "According to the scout information, a company of more than 20,000 cavalrymen
Marching in a hurry for a day and a night, their horses and manpower will definitely not last long, so in this battle, as long as we block the first wave of the Sui army's powerful offensive, we will definitely dampen their spirit and defeat them."
"In addition, the Western Turkic Chuluo Khan has sent Skuapiva to lead an 80,000-strong army south to intercept the Sui army. As long as we win a victory here, we will have reason to retreat to the second line and leave the lead to the Turks.
By that time, not only will we be able to transport the things looted these days back to Fulochuan and Fuqi City, but as long as the Turks defeat the Sui army, Longxi County will become our territory according to the previous agreement. Moreover, if the Western Turks compete with the Sui
The army suffered heavy losses in the battle. Maybe we can get another county. I heard that the Ge Dao tribe has been exterminated by the Sui army. The Tianshui County previously agreed to be given to them may become ours. Of course, this premise is that we always keep it.
Only if we can maintain a strong enough military strength."
When all the generals heard this, they all became energetic, their eyes lit up, and they all said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
King Bailan frowned at this time and asked: "Haven't the people from the Shabi Department and the Fantong Department already been in contact? When will they arrive?"
A Tuyuhun general next to him said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Shabi tribe and the Fantong tribe have looted a lot of supplies, including thousands of women, so they are walking very slowly. However, according to the plan, there will be at most two hours
You can reach it.”
King Bailan said: "That's good. Later, when the two armies fight and get tired, these two troops of nearly ten thousand people will suddenly attack. It will be miraculous."
…
"Dong dong dong..."
War drums roared, horns sounded, the earth trembled, hoofbeats sounded like thunder, killing sounds rose into the sky, and smoke filled the air. Every time the cavalry on both sides collided violently, people fell on their backs, and hundreds, even thousands, were killed or injured in an instant...
The Sui cavalry commanders Liu Fang and Bai Lan Wang did their best to mobilize their troops, and soon they all launched attacks on the opponent's flanks, and a full-scale melee began...
Liu Fang and King Bailan were in charge of the central army, and they continued to invest their troops. The battle group became stronger and stronger. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the entire plain was full of rampaging soldiers and horses, killing the sky and the earth, and the sun and the moon were dimmed. The forces of both sides had already reached their peak.
Everything was invested in it.
The constant slashing and fighting made both armies extremely tired. Although the Sui army lacked horsepower, it had excellent armor and weapons and high morale. Tuyuhun had sufficient horsepower and manpower and energy, and its combat power was not bad, but its armor and weapons were relatively poor, and because of a
After grabbing enough things, they were no longer as heroic and desperate as when they first came to Jincheng County.
In a big battle, it seems that who will win and who will lose is really not certain at the moment.
"Where is Pei Yuanqing now?" Liu Fang, the general of the Sui army, asked in a deep voice with his eyes narrowed as he skillfully issued orders one by one and mobilized troops and horses.
Liu Fang was the general with military rank second only to Yu Juluo among the 100,000 troops commanded by the Yuju Office. He was also the deputy commander-in-chief of the 100,000 troops personally ordered by the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
Liu Fang was also a famous general who founded the Sui Dynasty. The "Book of Sui Dynasty: Biography of Liu Fang" records that Liu Fang was "strong in character and courageous".
Liu Fang became a sergeant in the Northern Zhou Dynasty as early as the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and soon paid homage to Yi Tong for his military exploits. In the second year of Xiangzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Xuan Yuwenzan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty died of illness. Emperor Jing Yuwenyan of the Zhou Dynasty was young, and left Prime Minister Yang Jian was in power.
Dissatisfied, Liu Fang openly raised an army against Yang Jian. Liu Fang followed Wei Xiaokuan of the Zhu Kingdom to quell the rebellion of Yuchi Jiong. For his merits, he was granted the title of Marquis of Heyin County and a town of 800 households.
In February of the first year of Dading in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Prime Minister Yang Jian was enthroned as Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Liu Fang was promoted to Duke.
In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Liu Fang accompanied the Wei King Yang Shuang on an expedition against the Turks, and defeated the Shabolu Khan's army at Baidao (now northwest of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia), and became the general.
Therefore, Liu Fang is only half a rank lower than Yu Julu according to his military position. However, Liu Fang was born in a poor family and has no family background, so he is usually quite low-key and seldom talks, but he is a good fighter, especially in battles.
Regarding cavalry combat, otherwise Yu Juluo would not have allowed him to command 30,000 cavalry.
"General, the messenger just sent by General Pei came to report that General Pei has been hiding in the valley five miles to the west in accordance with the general's instructions." Lieutenant Guo Yi hurriedly clasped his fists on his horse and said.
