"Pass on my order, the first one to attack the Golden City will be rewarded with 100,000 sheep and be made captain of 10,000 men!"
Chuluo Khan personally supervised the 30,000-strong army and launched another violent attack on Jincheng.
In front of the four walls of Jincheng, corpses piled up like mountains, and the thick blood was about to fill the moat again. In the past three days, nearly 10,000 Turkic soldiers died in the war. In addition to the battle losses in the previous days, six people were lost during the attack on Jincheng alone.
More than 10,000 people, plus the 40,000 people lost at Shuiquanguan, the 200,000-strong army that came when they arrived now has only 100,000 left.
The Sui army guarding Jincheng also suffered heavy casualties. Jincheng originally had 30,000 defenders, and Longxi and Tianshui counties each had 25,000 reinforcements, for a total of 80,000 troops. From the beginning of the Tuyuhun attack to now, there are only 30,000 people left.
More than 40,000 people were killed in the battle, and the city was about to run out of crossbows and bows. If it weren't for the many craftsmen in the city, the arrows shot by the Turks at the top of the city could be used with a little repair, and the Golden City, which had no arrows to use, would have been lost long ago.
During the intermission of the battle, the soldiers were busy collecting arrows from the city head. Most of the arrows from the Turkic army were shot at the city head, and a small part of them shot over the city head and landed in the city.
"General Han, we have only collected more than 50,000 arrows here." Captain Gao Pingwang stepped forward to report that one of his arms was cut off by the enemy while defending the city and he was unable to go into battle. He was responsible for collecting and sorting out the defense equipment and equipment.
Materials.
"As many as you have!"
Han Ziliang looked at the mobilization of the Turkic camp troops outside the city, and had a vague feeling that the enemy was jumping over the wall in a hurry.
"The reinforcements from the Governor of Yuda should be coming soon!" Han Ziliang thought and looked forward to this. If he knew that he was coming to the northwest to take office, he would pass by Maiji Town and pick up a soldier, and he would create miracles and change things again and again.
He saved the whole battle and indirectly almost saved his life. I don’t know how he would feel.
Amidst the sound of war drums, the Turkic army once again launched an siege. This time it was more ferocious than any previous offensive, and the war was the most brutal. In one afternoon, more than 5,000 Western Turks were killed, while the Sui army suffered nearly 2,000 casualties.
, bones were piled up and down the Jincheng, and the wilderness was dyed red with blood, but the Jincheng always stood tall, and the morale of the Sui army became higher and higher as the war progressed.
In the evening, a ray of blood-red sunset shined through the clouds on the top of the golden city, and the bodies above and below the city were like hell.
Some of these corpses are curled up, with temporary pain on their faces, some have missing heads, and the corpses are mutilated, and some have been smashed into meat patties, bloody and bloody. It can be predicted that if the corpses are not collected and submerged, terrible things will happen.
plague.
The Turkic army was unable to attack for a long time and its morale was low. Although Chuluo Khan was furious, he had to order a retreat.
At this time, the city was extremely quiet. The Sui soldiers on the walls were leaning against the wall and falling asleep, looking exhausted. After more than ten days of fierce fighting, most of them slept less than two hours a day, and every day they slept for less than two hours.
I had to fight hard from morning till night, and I was already exhausted.
On the southern city wall, among dozens of soldiers sleeping together, the general Han Ziliang also squeezed together with the soldiers and fell asleep. His horse became a pillow for him and several soldiers. At this moment, there was no distinction between the general and the soldiers.
, after more than ten days of fierce fighting to defend Jincheng, everyone was enjoying this extremely precious nap.
The prefect Chen Sansi led a team of personal guards to patrol the city. When passing by Han Ziliang, he sighed to himself: "A tiger father has no dog son."
Then, he turned around and smiled, booed the guards, and quietly left with the people. At this time, a group of more than a hundred civilians carried hot biscuits and broth and walked quickly to the top of the city. The Sui soldiers
Started to wake up and eat dinner.
…
…
Turkic camp.
"Khan, this Sui soldier fell from the city wall and hit a pile of corpses without falling to death. I caught him with my own hands. I have already tortured him. The Sui army's bows and crossbows in the city had been used up as early as yesterday.
, the arrows we shot are all used now, Khan will give me another chance, I promise to capture Jincheng tomorrow morning." Wutu cried and begged Chuluo Khan to give him another chance.
"Okay, I'll give you another chance, but this time if you can't capture Jincheng, I won't just kill you, I'll also kill your entire clan."
Wu Tu quickly knelt down and said loudly: "Thank you Khan, I will definitely capture Jincheng tomorrow."
When he said this, a hint of malice flashed in the depths of his bald eyes.
…
The morning sun also shines on the wilderness. An army of more than 70,000 people, with flags fluttering, is vast and boundless.
This is the main force of the Sui army's reinforcements that came through Shuiquan Pass after resting for half a night after the fire at Shuiquan Pass was extinguished. Now Yujuluo is no longer satisfied with driving away the Turks and saving Jincheng. Instead, he wants to conquer the Western Turks
Luo Khan and the remaining 100,000 Turkic troops stayed in Jincheng County forever.
"Liu Fang, I'm feeling a little uneasy. You can lead all the cavalry forward quickly. You don't have to wait for the infantry and rush to rescue Jincheng."
Liu Fang agreed and the order was passed on, and soon more than 20,000 cavalry galloped towards Jincheng at full speed.
…
On the second day, there was a fierce battle for the defense and defense of Jincheng all morning long. The city was again littered with dead bodies, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. The nearly 100,000 troops of the Western Turks had already pressed forward across the entire line, and they had an absolute advantage in strength. They gradually began to gain the upper hand, and the four walls combined
More than 4,000 enemy troops had already rushed to the top of the city and fought fiercely with the Sui army on top of the city. The situation became critical.
The huge physical exertion brought the Sui army to the end of its battle, and the walls of Jincheng were riddled with holes and ruins, giving it a feeling of crumbling.
When Chuluo Khan outside the city saw this, he was ecstatic. He was finally going to take the city. As long as there was enough food and grass in the city to replenish it, and he would use the Golden City as the base to firmly hold Shuiquan Pass, he would at least win the battle against the Sui Dynasty this time.
Jincheng County.
More and more Turkic soldiers attacked the city. The Sui soldiers suffered heavy casualties. There were less than 20,000 people left on the four sides of the city. Han Ziliang was covered in blood. At this time, he seemed to hear the horn sound coming from the south, which was extremely familiar to them.
The horn sound is the horn sound of the Sui army.
Han Ziliang shouted with all his strength: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, let us hold on until the last moment!"
The exhausted Sui soldiers roared one after another. They used up their last strength to kill the tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers who rushed to the city...
At this moment, the sound of thousands of horses galloping came from the southern horizon. Chuluo Khan turned his head and saw a black torrent sweeping toward where they were.
Chuluo Khan's face changed drastically and he roared: "Blow the trumpet and retreat quickly."
However, it was too late to retreat at this time.
At this time, there were more than 10,000 Turkic soldiers on the top of the city. There were 30,000 to 40,000 people climbing up or running back, and there were still 40,000 to 50,000 people left in the camp.
…
On September 19, the eleventh year of Daye, the 100,000 Turkic army that was attacking the city retreated northward in panic. Liu Fang led 20,000 cavalry to pursue them one after another. The 100,000 Turkic army was defeated and the Sui army pursued them for more than 200 miles.
, beheaded 67,000 people, Chuluo Khan fled with less than 30,000 cavalry.
On September 28, because there was no food and grass on the road, Chuluo Khan and Tuyuhun begged for food and grass to no avail. They destroyed more than ten tribes of Tuyuhun, big and small, and angered King Bailan. The two sides fought a big battle and both sides suffered losses.
On October 15th, Yujuluo led an army of 80,000 people to march westward. King Bailan gathered the strength of the entire clan and assembled an army of 70,000 people. There was a field battle between the two sides. Tuyuhun was defeated. King Bailan fled to the Qinghai Lake with more than 40,000 remaining soldiers.
.
On October 21, the Sui army conquered the three counties of Xiping, Wuwei, and Zhangye that were originally occupied by Tuyuhun.
At this point, the war between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Godo tribes that lasted for more than two months came to an end.
…
If the recovery of Longxi City was the battle that won the initiative in the entire war, then Liu Fang's defeat of Tuyuhun in the first battle was the beginning of the Sui army's counterattack. The destruction of all the Turks' grain, grass, cattle and sheep in one go can be regarded as a reversal of the entire war.
The most important part of the battle. The subsequent burning of Shuiquan Pass is the key to determining the outcome of the entire occupation. It can be said that when the 40,000 Turkic troops were burned or killed at Shuiquan Pass, the Turks were destined to fail.
In the nearly three months of war, there were many twists and turns. Although the Sui Dynasty won the final victory and achieved fruitful results, as the saying goes, killing a thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred, the Sui Dynasty also suffered huge losses.
Nearly 60,000 of the 80,000 troops who participated in the defense of Jincheng were killed in the battle, and nearly half of the remaining 10,000 troops were injured. General Yuwen Junchi, Ying Yanglang of Jincheng County, died heroically in the last half-day siege of the city by the Turks.
All the five thousand men stationed in Longxi City were lost in the battle, and Li Yuanwen, the governor of Longxi County, committed suicide and died for his country.
Yujuluo also lost more than 20,000 of the 100,000 elite troops he brought from Guanzhong.
The most miserable thing was the people of Jincheng and Longxi counties. According to post-war statistics, as many as 150,000 people were killed and kidnapped by the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Godo tribes. Countless properties were looted and tens of thousands of households were taken away.
The family was ruined and people were killed. It can be said that after this battle, the vitality of Yongzhou, which was still relatively wealthy, was seriously damaged. Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty issued an order to exempt Jincheng and Longxi counties from taxes for three years to allow the people to recuperate and restore their strength.
In stark contrast to the scenes of people in the two counties being destroyed and crying, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty and the entire court were rejoicing at the victory, especially the victory over the three counties of Wuwei, Zhangye and Xiping, and trumpeted His Majesty's wisdom and prowess.
Of course, those who survived in the army will also be happy because they have received generous rewards.
On November 1, the eleventh year of Daye, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty finally arrived with the reward decree and the latest appointment order from the imperial court.
First, the three counties of Wuwei, Zhangye and Xiping were brought under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, and each had its own army. In addition, the governor of Yongzhou and the general manager of the army each had one position, and the military and political affairs were separated.
Then there are rewards from top to bottom.
The Grand Governor Yu Juluo raised a thousand households in the city, was granted the title of General of Hussars, was granted the title of Duke of Korea, and was temporarily appointed as the marching general manager of Yongzhou.
Chen Sansi, the governor of Jincheng County, added 800 households to the city, was granted the title of Duke of Heyin County, and was promoted to the governor of Yongzhou.
General Liu Fang added 500 households to the settlement, and was granted the title of Duke of Qingshui County and the governor of Yong.
