Turbulent Times Chapter 1397: The fear in the heart of the Turkic Khan
Although the five hundred soldiers led by Li Shimin and Hou Junji all died, they exhausted the strength of that wave of Turkic Golden Wolf Guards, so this wave of Turkic Golden Wolf Guards rushed to fight, and were beaten by soldiers from Taiyuan County. You have to run away with your head in your arms.
Li Shimin did not think about killing Turkic Shibi Khan again, but gave an order rationally: "Stop chasing the fleeing Turkic, block the valley entrance, and just keep the Turkic people who are still in the valley. "
"Block the valley entrance and kill the Turks inside the valley entrance!" Li Shimin's personal soldiers shouted loudly and conveyed the order to all the soldiers in Taiyuan County. The Turks who had already escaped from the valley had no intention of turning around to save their companions, and fled quickly by themselves.
The Turkic people who hadn't escaped in the valley were already stunned by the smoke, their bodies staggered forward with snot and tears, and trampled on each other in order to escape one step ahead, but they ran to Taniguchi to see the way ahead. It has been blocked by the Sui army.
Seeing that the valley could not escape, the Turkic people rushed to the hillsides on both sides of the valley, but the Sui troops who were in charge of archery and laying stones on both sides of the valley were still there. A team rushed out to kill the Turks.
The Turkic people in the valley have lost their courage, their fighting power is not much left, but they no longer have the will to die. They were easily stabbed and killed by the Sui army. Excited, he snatched the Turkic flag and threw it into the fire. The Turkic soldiers were driven away like sheep.
The Turkic people realized that the disaster was imminent, and ran around crying and shouting. Someone was dazed by the thick smoke, and threw himself directly at the tip of Sui Jun's knife. Some people dropped their weapons and curled their bodies into the crevices of the rocks, trying to escape punishment, but were mercilessly killed by the Sui army.
The Turkic team in the valley is constantly being squeezed and divided. It was cut into small pieces, then chopped up by the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, trampled down, and sent back to the embrace of Changshengtian.
Several Sui soldiers stabbed a Turkic man down with a long spear. The injured screamed loudly, but the nearby Turkic warriors had no intention of saving them. They didn't even intend to resist, they just lowered their heads and ran for their lives, just glad that the person who was stabbed was not themselves.
This
At this moment, they are no longer wolves, but silly roe deer who are slaughtered. I don't want to run the fastest, but I just want to not run slower than my companions. As for the scimitar in his hand and the feathered arrows in his waist, they were all for display at this time. They can't remember to use it, and they dare not 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.
"Old General Wang, why did you let them go on purpose!" Li Shimin was very dissatisfied watching Sibi Khan escape, and couldn't help asking Wang Rengong, who was still respected in normal times.
"The Turks have more troops than us, and the Golden Wolf Guards are extremely brave. They will not be able to intercept them!" Wang Rengong narrowed his eyes, and he was not angry because Li Shimin didn't respect him, "Besides, Shibi Khan was able to escape After passing our level, can we still escape the interception and killing of the Far East Army? You don’t even think about it, if you don’t let the Golden Wolf Guard led by the Turkic Khan go, these Turkic people in the valley will be so easy to kill, and they will be killed by the wolves. What kind of spores did they become?"
Li Shimin's eyes flickered, he nodded, and said with a smile: "What Old General Wang said is very 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 subjects, we should go to Yanmen City to meet His Majesty the Emperor."
……
……
Fleeing all night, Shibi Khan finally escaped from the Great Wall and came to the Turkic territory.
"Khan, our logistics camp is five miles ahead, do you want to go and rest for a while so that everyone can replenish food and grass?" A tribal leader stepped forward panting and asked Shibi Khan in a low voice.
Before, nearly half of the food and grass in the logistics camp was used by Zhang Tiangang to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Turkic logistics camp, he led the special warfare brigade to burn it down, and dispersed tens of thousands of sheep and cattle. Later, the 20,000 Turkic cavalry who stayed here came back Afterwards, a maximum of 5,000 people were sent to **** the food and grass, but they still couldn't stop the elusive special forces on the road from burning the food and grass, but no matter how many people dared to send again, they managed to save nearly half of the food and grass in the logistics camp.
"Pass around the camp and order Gula to set fire to all the food and grass, and then follow up quickly!" Shibi Khan thought for a while, gritted his teeth and gave the order.
"Khan, the warriors are running out of food and grass." The tribal leader looked in disbelief, widened his eyes, and reminded in a low voice, "It's better to let everyone go in and each bring some food and grass to burn. Chi, anyway, the Sui army didn't catch up last night, so why did Da Khan leave in such a hurry?"
"Idiot!" Shibi Khan yelled coldly, and a whip had already been pulled down, "If you are told to go, go quickly, if you delay any longer, we will all die on the road, and no one will be able to return Go."
In the past, Shibi Khan would not have whipped this tribal leader like this, because the latter's tribe is also a large tribe with more than 20,000 cavalry. He brought hundreds of people and fled here after the Golden Wolf Guard, and the rest of the tribal troops were all buried in the valley.
Turkic respects strength, and without the army in his hands, the leader's status suddenly plummeted.
Although the tribal leader was very upset, he also knew that this is the rule of the Turks. He has no military power in his hands. No matter how wronged he is, he can only hold back and bowed deeply , He said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, Khan, I will send someone to let Gubala set fire to all the food and grass, and we will go directly north and leave nothing for the Sui people!"
"Go!" Shibi Khan sighed secretly. If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to burn so much food and grass. The products on the grassland are not abundant, and it is not easy to gather so much food and grass, which is enough for hundreds of thousands of people. Big tribes eat for months.
Sibi Khan now brought more than 60,000 people, and rushed into the city to copy a small bundle of each person. It didn't take half an hour to move all these precious foods.
But the problem is that Shibi Khan knows very well that carrying food and grass will only become a burden for them, and it will also waste time.
Sibi Khan always has a sense of urgency and crisis, just like an old wolf that has been roaming around for many years, he instinctively senses the danger hidden behind the night.
This danger is naturally due to the fact that Wang Junlin and his Far East Army never showed up during the interception last night.
So, Shibi Khan only wanted to retreat northward to his lair as soon as possible, the faster the better, and the farther the better.
