Turbulent Times Chapter 24: King Bailan

"Order him to come here." Yu Juluo said with a smile, he suddenly thought of a strategy to defeat the Turks as soon as possible, and felt that it was very appropriate for Wang Junlin to implement this strategy.

Wang Junlin rushed over, according to the etiquette regulations in the army during the march, he clasped his hands meticulously on the horse and said: "The last general Wang Junlin pays homage to the commander-in-chief!"

Yu Juluo stared at Wang Junlin with a calm face for a while, and nodded appreciatively. I am very satisfied with Wang Junlin and think highly of him even more. Obviously, Wang Junlin was able to lead twenty people to take down Longxi City with his own strength. Of course, this was due to the effect of the strange poison and some luck, but it was definitely not a fluke.

"Wang Junlin, I have an important task to entrust to you. I wonder if you have the confidence to complete it?" Yu Juluo said.

Wang Junlin immediately said: "I would like to ask you to supervise me, the general will definitely go all out to complete the important task."

Yu Juluo said: "According to the fighting habits of nomads 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 as logistics supplies two hundred miles behind, my commander. I will give you another 4,000 troops, plus your headquarters, a total of 5,000 cavalry. You will lead the route of Xiping County, bypass Shuiquan Pass, and go to the enemy's rear to find them. If you can destroy their logistics camp, you will make great contributions. , I will guarantee you a title after the war. If the logistics camp is difficult to destroy, you can attack their food and grass transportation team, cut off their food and grass transportation line, and cut off the supply of the Turkic army. Well, take an eagle letter with you when you leave .”

"The last general obeys!" Wang Junlin was overjoyed when he heard the words. Although this kind of thing is dangerous, in his opinion, it is better than a few days later when he leads his men and horses to mix with an army of 80,000 and fight with an army of tens of thousands of Turks. Much safer. The most important thing is that he is best at lurking and sneak attacking. He was like this before alone or leading a fire scout, and now he is leading an army of 5,000.

Wang Junlin took the ordering arrow handed over by the civil order officer next to him, turned his horse's head and ran towards his subordinates, and halfway handed the ordering arrow to Wu San, asking him to mobilize another 4,000 cavalry according to the military order.

The scouts of the Sui Army also raised goshawks to deliver letters, but it was not easy to cook them, and there was a lack of such talents among the Han people, so the number of letter hawks was very small, and there were only a hundred thousand troops. There are three letter eagles, this time let Wang Junlin take one away, which shows that Wang Junlin has great expectations for the task that Wang Junlin undertakes.

Not long after, five thousand cavalry left the brigade and galloped northwest. Yu Juluo stared at Wang Junlin's back as he went away, thinking whether he could defeat the Turkic as soon as possible depends on this kid.

…

Under the leadership of Nestorian King Boduo, Tuyuhun and 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 cared about looting the Han people and property, and then transported them back to Fuluochuan and Fucheng, their old nests in the Qilian Mountains.

Tuyuhun, like the Turks, is a tribal system. When looting property, the tribe is the unit. Before the remaining 40,000 troops dispersed, King Bailan, who led the army, was still able to control it freely, but now it is scattered. And Kai turned into robbers, even King Bai Lan could hardly gather them together in a short time.

So, after discovering the arrival of reinforcements from the Great Sui Dynasty, although King Bai Lan sent out messengers to gather and deploy everywhere, a full day still passed, only more than 20,000 people were summoned, and the other 10,000 people were still fighting on their own. Looting of property and people.

In fact, it was possible to gather more than 20,000 people together so quickly because these people were all inside and outside Pinglan County, the most affluent city in Jincheng County. However, when King Bai Lan had just gathered these people together, Sui cavalry general Liu Fangfang led 25,000 cavalry appeared in their field of vision.

Without any extra nonsense or temptation, the front teams of both sides began to charge almost at the same time.

Soon the cavalrymen on both sides were 50 paces apart, and the speed of their horses increased to the fastest, approaching at a speed of about 20 meters per second. Aiming at the Tuconghun cavalry on the opposite side, the Tuyuhun cavalry running in the front also had a fierce face, waving a saber in their hands, and made the most agile slashing posture.

From 100 paces, the cavalry on both sides defecated and shot arrows. At this time, some people were still trying to shoot arrows, and a wave of light arrows from the wave cavalry bow swished back and forth, and more than 100 Sui cavalrymen were hit. Because of the good armor defense, only a dozen people fell off the horse, and the short distance was fleeting. As for the Tuyuhun cavalry, more than forty people fell off their horses.

"Kill!" The cavalry on both sides let out a hissing and exhausted roar at the last moment.

Boom!

Two torrents of horses collided head-on, countless broken gun shafts and fragments of blades flew, the sound of breaking and the collision of men and horses continued, the sound of gun blades rubbing against armor made people's teeth sore, horses that couldn't avoid it collided with each other Bones shattered, some horses were knocked flying, and some fell to the ground with their riders, rolling desperately on the ground.

People turned on their backs, blood splattered everywhere, soldiers howled, horses neighed, accompanied by the sound of drums and horns, soon the two sides were completely caught in a dark and dark fight.

…

Sitting on his horse, with a large white wolf-headed banner behind his back, King Bailan looked solemnly at the Sui army cavalry orderly launching their formation and launched an attack. A company of many cavalry marched for a day and a night, and their horses and manpower would not last long, so in this battle, as long as we block the first wave of the Sui army's powerful offensive, we will surely dampen their spirit and defeat them."

"In addition, Luo Khan of the Western Turkic Department has sent Sguapiva to lead an army of 80,000 to intercept the Sui army. Turks. At that time, not only will we be able to transport the looted things back to Fuluochuan and Fucheng, but as long as the Turks defeat the Sui army, according to the previous agreement, Longxi County will become our territory. Moreover, the West Turks If we suffer heavy losses in the battle with the Sui Army, maybe we can get another county. I heard that the Ge Dao Department has been wiped out by the Sui Army. The Tianshui County that was promised to them before may become ours. Of course, this is the premise It is because we can always maintain a strong enough military force."

Hearing the words, all the generals were refreshed, their eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

At this moment, King Bailan frowned, and asked, "Haven't the people from the Shabi Department and the Fantong Department already contacted them? When will they arrive?"

A general Tuyuhun next to him hurriedly said: "My lord, the Shabi and Fantong tribes looted a lot of supplies, and there were thousands of women among them, so they walked very slowly. However, according to the plan, at most there will be more It can be reached in two hours."

Bai Lanwang said: "That's fine, the two armies will fight later, and when the two armies are exhausted from the battle, if there are nearly ten thousand horses from these two armies, they will suddenly fight out, and it will be a miracle."

…

"Boom boom..."

The drums roared, the horns sounded, the ground trembled, hoofs sounded like thunder, the sound of killing soared into the sky, and the smoke and dust filled the air. Every time the cavalry of the two sides collided fiercely, people were turned on their backs, and hundreds or even thousands of people were killed or injured in an instant...

The generals Liu Fang and King Bai Lan, who commanded the cavalry of the Great Sui Dynasty, tried their best to dispatch troops, and soon they all attacked the flanking army of the other side, and a full-scale melee began...

Liu Fang and King Bailan sit in the middle army, continuously investing their troops, the battle group grows stronger and stronger, overlooking from the top of the mountain, the entire plain is full of rampaging soldiers and horses, killing the world and the earth, and the sun and the moon are darkened. All the forces of both sides have been invested in it.

Continuous slashing and fighting made the armies of both sides extremely exhausted. Although the Sui army lacked horsepower, they had excellent armor and weapons and high morale. And because they grabbed everything one by one, they were not as brave and desperate as they were when they first came to Jincheng County.

In a big battle, it seems that who will win and who will lose at the moment is really not sure.

"Where is Pei Yuanqing now?" General Liu Fang squinted his eyes in the Sui Army's Central Army, and asked in a deep voice while skillfully issuing orders to mobilize troops.

Liu Fang is the second only to Yujuluo in the 100,000-strong army commanded by the Yuju Office this time, and he is also the deputy commander of the 100,000-strong army ordered by the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

Liu Fang was also a famous founding general of the Sui Dynasty. In "Sui Shu Biography of Liu Fang" it is recorded that Liu Fang was "resolute and courageous".

Liu Fang served as a sergeant as early as in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he soon worshiped Yitong for his military exploits. In the second year of Elephant in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenzan, Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, died of illness. Zhou Jingdi Yu Wenyan was young, and Yang Jian, the prime minister of the left, was under the dictatorship. Yu Chijiong, the general manager of Xiangzhou, was dissatisfied with this and publicly raised troops against Yang Jian. Liu Fang and Wei Xiaokuan of Shangzhu State put down the Yuchijiong Rebellion. Because of his meritorious service, he opened a mansion and granted him the title of Marquis of Heyin County, with 800 households in the city.

In February of the first year of Dading in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian, the prime minister, was enthroned by Zen, and he was Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Liu Fangjin was the Duke.

In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Liu Fang followed Wei Wang Yang Shuang on an expedition to the Turks, defeated Shabolue Khan's army in Baidao (northwest of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia today), and became a general.

So, according to his military position, Liu Fang is only half a rank lower than Yu Juluo. It's just that Liu Fang was born in a poor family and had no family background, so he is usually quite low-key and rarely talks, but he is a good fighter in war, especially in cavalry battles, otherwise Yu Juluo would not let him command 30,000 troops. cavalry.

"General Qi, the messenger sent by General Pei has just reported that General Pei has hidden in the valley five miles to the west according to the general's order." A captain named Guo Yi immediately clasped his fists and said.
