Anyway, the Tuyuhun people always retreated after taking advantage of it, without having to hold their position or defeat the enemy. How could such a battle be too dangerous? What if...
"Woo——" Suddenly, another horn sounded, shattering everyone's dreams.
A captain led two hundred soldiers and ran over on horseback, shouting: "According to the commander-in-chief's order, all armies are facing the rebels. Today, no one can retreat!"
All the generals looked stunned. The captain glanced at everyone with a sneer and said again: "In the name of the general manager, I will lead two hundred brothers to retreat from the earthen fortress to supervise the battle. Anyone who dares to retreat without obeying the order will be killed."
No mercy!"
Yuan Feng and others were shocked when they heard this, and they immediately understood that today they must take serious action. If anyone still handles the matter casually with a playful mentality, I am afraid that if they don't die in the hands of the Tuyuhun people, their heads will also be chopped off by their own people.
Sacrifice flag.
In the midst of anxiety, Yang Shuanghe, the defeated general, suddenly said: "The art of war is to take the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared. You didn't expect that we would suddenly change our ways, and King Bai Lan didn't expect it even more. If he still comes here with his previous habits,
We will definitely be caught off guard. In addition, the war has been going on for so long. How can there be any morale left on the rebel side? As long as we give them a hard blow, they will immediately lose their armor. But we can wait easily.
You can get a lot of military honors. After all, killing more than 10,000 enemy troops in one battle is not the same as beheading two to three hundred people in one battle!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads. They felt that what the defeated general said was very reasonable, but why had this defeated general always lost in battles before?
Next, the person in charge of the eastern section of the defense line, General Ying Yanglang of Longxi County, Yuan Feng, began to assign tasks to everyone, and specially arranged for reliable people to select three thousand elites to prepare to lead his troops to attack.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for everyone to discover that the rebels who took the initiative to attack the city were exactly as Yang Shuanghe said. They were not prepared at all, and their morale was extremely low. At the same time, they also understood why Manager Yu asked them to do well.
Preparations for counterattack.
More than 4,000 Tuyuhun soldiers advanced listlessly, holding shields, swords and spears. Behind the soldiers were 10,000 to 20,000 people from Xiping County who had been forced by the Tuyuhun people, holding hoes, shovels and pickaxes in their hands.
, walking staggeringly, with a face of numbness and despair. Behind them, there are another two thousand soldiers, each carrying a shining steel knife in their hand, but the blade is facing the people of the Sui Dynasty in front, ready to pounce at any time.
, and those who dared to take advantage of the digging opportunity to escape would be beheaded in public display.
How could such a formation and team be used in a battle between two armies? Even a group fight between gangsters would probably be much more serious than this!
Thinking of this section, Yuan Feng became more confident and shouted: "The manager has indeed made a clever plan. The Tuyuhun people are now a bunch of chickens and dogs. I will wait for the opportunity to make a great contribution. Brothers, I will charge with you later and score."
Xiping City, capture King Bailan alive!"
"Enter Xiping City and capture King Bailan alive!"
After the soldiers roared with fierce fighting spirit and murderous intent, Yuan Feng took the initiative to jump out of the formation with three thousand elite soldiers and rushed towards the enemy troops. Like a group of tigers, rushing towards the sheep!
Three thousand elite soldiers took the lead, followed by 17,000 reinforcements from Longxi County. Under the leadership of their respective captains, they swarmed down the earthen ramparts. No one wanted to fall behind others and miss the opportunity to make contributions.
"Enter Xiping City, capture King Bailan alive!" "Enter Xiping City, capture King Bailan alive!" "Invade Xiping City, capture King Bailan alive!" The shouts suddenly rang out, and 20,000 Longxi County soldiers were like a tide.
The Tuyuhun army rushed towards the Tuyuhun army who came to demolish the earthen fortress, smashing the latter's team into pieces and falling into pieces.

…
Wu San, the famous leader of the Skeleton Army in the Western Regions, suddenly transformed into an old Sogdian businessman. After putting on a full beard, he looked like a noble Tafula (a wealthy person) wherever he went.
Sogdian merchants were famous in the Western Regions for their good business skills and were the most popular merchants in the Western Regions, because their appearance often represented the transfer of Sogdian jewelry, Persian carpets, Roman gold and silverware, and food spices to the Sui Dynasty.
All kinds of good things such as silk, porcelain and paper were shipped over. No matter which ethnic group they were in the Western Regions, even the most ferocious Tubo people would not harm Sogdian merchants.
Of course, few people know that all Sogdian merchants are inextricably linked to Sha Qianmo, the original horse thief king in the Western Regions and now the leader of the Zhaowu Kingdom, the second largest force in the Western Regions.
In fact, Wu San and his entourage were in a Sogdian caravan. At the beginning of the year, Wang Junlin rescued Sha Qianmo by chance. The two became brothers with different surnames and different races. Both of them were heroes, and they would not be naive to think that worshiping Qian Mo was a caravan.
With just a few clicks, we can really become good brothers, good friends, good gay friends and so on.
But after Wang Junlin helped Sha Qianmo solve the problem of weapons and armor for the 30,000-strong army, and the two of them partnered to build a base for manufacturing weapons and armor in a very secret place in the Qilian Mountains, although the two never met again,
The two sides became increasingly close. Wu San led more than a hundred people to become the top horse thief gang in the Western Regions in less than a year, forming the famous Skeleton Army. Among them, the former Horse Thief King of the Western Regions, Sha Qian Mo, was of great help. Therefore,
It was perfectly normal for Wu San and his men to mingle with a Sogdian caravan.
This Sogdian caravan is not small, and there are two hundred tough warriors around it. Each warrior has a black hood on his head, with only two holes dug out for his eyes. Each pair of eyes looks so violent.
and cruelty.
Such people are not uncommon in the Western Regions. Both the Western Regions and the Tuyuhun people are used to seeing this kind of Sogdian merchants who specialize in selling slaves.
For more than half a year, the Skeleton Army has been operating in the Qilian Mountains. They are not very familiar with the Golmud area, the home of Tuyuhun in the south of the Qilian Mountains, so Wu San never expected that Golmud would be so big...
Sitting on the soft sedan chair, all I could see was densely packed with human heads. It was indeed similar to where Tuyuhun Kyoto was. Wu San made a rough estimate and found that the population here was no less than 70,000 to 80,000.
After the Sogdian caravan traded the goods they brought in the market as usual, they passed through the crowded market and arrived at a camping site.
There are many merchants of all ethnic groups camping here. Although this season is not the best time for merchants of all ethnic groups to do business with the Tuyuhun people, the colder the weather, the scarcer the goods, and the greater the profits. Businessmen are always not short of adventure.
of their generation.
Wu San's eyes flashed with a frightening light, and he said calmly: "There is news from Xiping County that King Bailan and tens of thousands of Tuyuhun's main forces are also trapped in Xiping City. They cannot escape this time, so I have been thinking about it these days.
This Golmud has become the home base of our skeleton army."
