"Your Highness, I'm afraid the Turks broke through this time are extraordinary." Li Jing stared at the end of the mountain road and said in a deep voice.

"How can I see it?"

"Your Highness, please look at Fenghuo and understand."

Yang Yuanqing turned his head and looked at the beacon tower on the cliff. Then he unexpectedly discovered that the three pillars of beacon smoke had turned into four at some point. In the beacon system he established, there were no four beacons.

.

"What's going on?" Yang Yuanqing asked slightly unhappy.

Li Jing also knew that he had the crime of setting military rules, so he apologized: "Report to Your Highness, the main reason is that the Turks have always had more and less troops to break out, and most of them are at night, and the number of enemy troops is always increasing.

So Beizhi ordered a beacon with additional troops. If the enemy continuously added more troops on a large scale, more than five thousand people, four pillars of beacon smoke were used to show that. Now four pillars of beacon smoke means that the enemy has come out with more than two teams of troops, more than five

Thousands of people.”

Yang Yuanqing nodded reluctantly, without saying anything, and his eyes were still staring at the end of the mountain road in the distance. At this time, Li Jing took another step back and gave a deep respect, "I am not accused of changing the system, and I am willing to be punished by Your Highness!"

After a while, Yang Yuanqing said lightly: "Since the military regulations are established, the entire army should abide by them. Otherwise, Xu Shiji will change one place, Qin Qiong will change one place, and you will change another place, and the entire army will be at a loss, and the army will be in chaos.

If there is indeed unreasonableness, you can submit it to the Ministry of War. After the Ministry of War review, the entire army will be unified and changed. General Manager Li, I hope you will change it back. I will not pursue it this time, but there is no next time."

Li Jing nodded in shame. "I am really not considerate and there will be no next time."

Seeing that he was sincere, Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "I never question General Manager Li's ability to lead troops. After the New Year, I hope you will go to the northern Moyuan grassland."

Li Jing was stunned at first, then reacted and said in surprise: "Does Your Highness want to completely eradicate the Turks?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded slowly. "The Turks are already weak, and the Uighurs and Xue Yantu are ready to move. We will completely destroy the Turks. Let the two wolves kill each other."

Only then did Li Jing understand Yang Yuanqing's idea, and he still focused on inciting internal strife on the grassland. He hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, what should I do with the Western Turks?"

When talking about the Western Turks, Yang Yuanqing frowned slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, "I received a report from Su Dingfang. It seems that something happened in the West. The Western Turks did not attack Yiwu County in large numbers, but instead withdrew their troops back.

, I don’t know the specific reason, Su Dingfang has sent someone to Yiwu to inquire, and news should come.”

The two were talking. Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted: "Your Highness, the enemy has appeared."

Yang Yuanqing looked up at the mountain road and saw a large group of black troops appear, about five or six miles apart, almost all infantry. Only the more than a thousand people in front were cavalry. Because the mountain road was narrow, they could not charge, and they were on the right side.

He walked slowly towards this side with thousands of people.

A thought suddenly flashed through Yang Yuanqing's mind. The Turkic army has been slaughtering horses for more than a month. But there are only more than a thousand war horses in front of them, which means that the war horses are almost dead and there are enough meat to eat, so the Turkic

How many soldiers died would make them unable to survive and cross mountains and ridges to flee. Yang Yuanqing was a little suspicious, afraid that only 30% of the Turkic army would be left.

Yang Yuanqing's guess was not wrong. Several heavy snowfalls continued, and nearly 10,000 Turkic troops were frozen to death. In addition, the epidemic of infectious diseases, the Turkic soldiers in Jingxing were seriously injured, and there were still 12,000 survivors.

However, the war horses almost all starved to death because of the cut off of the forage.

Among the 12,000 soldiers, thousands of people were sick and injured, dying, waiting for death. In fact, only seven thousand people were left to fight. If they did not break through, the remaining Turkic troops would be infected by illness.

Swallowed, they could no longer wait for the arrival of the chuntian.

It was because he was unwilling to wait for death that the chief general Guo Zihe decided to break through. Starting from five days ago, he broke through again and again, despairing again and again. Today, he took a desperate bet and led the last five thousand soldiers to attack Jingxing Pass, and he would kill him no matter what.

go out.

In the team, Guo Zihe became dark and thin, but the fierce light in his eyes was even more cruel than that of a leopard. For more than a month, Turkic generals have been constantly accusing him of bringing the army into a dead end. He should not go to Hebei, but should be directly

Going west to the Yellow River and going north to the grassland along the Yellow River, the generals accused him of having selfish thoughts...

But all those who accused him were brutally killed by him, and even one of the strongest oppositions was roasted alive, but Guo Zihe did have selfish intentions. When the news of the Khan's defeat in Mayi County came,

His first reaction was to take this army for himself.

He could not return to the grasslands of Mobei. What he thought of was Liaodong, occupying Liaodong first, and then attacking Goryeo, which had been severely weakened by the Sui army. He Guo Zi and Goryeo were kings.

Unfortunately, people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Not long after he entered Jingxing, the Sui army blocked Jingxing from both sides, causing his army to spend more than a month like hell in Jingxing.

Guo Zihe was already desperate, but he didn't want to die. He wanted the remaining Turkic army to be his siege weapon, break through the pass for him, and fight out, and then he found a place to live in seclusion, and became a rich man in the second half of his life.

But Guo Zihe never dreamed that his breakthrough today happened to meet Yang Yuanqing who came to inspect Jingxing.

At this time, they were only two miles away from Jingxing Pass. Guo Zihe stared at the walls of Jingxing Pass in the distance and the fortifications under the city. He pulled out his sword and shouted in Turkic voice:

"If you want to survive, fight hard, and the cavalry charge!"

"Kill!"

More than a thousand Turkic cavalry burst out with earth-shaking shouts, holding their spears and shields in their hands, and rushed towards Guancheng like crazy. Behind them, four thousand Turkic soldiers fled on foot and followed the cavalry toward Guancheng.

At this time, 10,000 Sui troops had been deployed in the three fortifications at Jingxing Pass and the Pass. The soldiers were ready. They held bows and crossbows in their hands and aimed closely at the Turkic cavalry running from the mountain road, waiting for the attack.

command.

Li Jing raised the command flag respectfully, "Please command from your highness!"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I'm just here to inspect. You are the main general."

Li Jing was excited, he no longer gave in and raised the yellow flag. This was the order to be prepared to hit. As the flag was raised, the heavy drum sounded, 'dong-dong-dong'.

The sound was not fast. Five thousand Sui army crossbowmen raised the military crossbow, and the crossbow arrows were flat. Attacked at the Turkic cavalry that had already reached a mile away, the sharp crossbow arrows flashed coldly under the sun and snow.

Metallic luster.

The mountain road widened about one mile near Guancheng. It was about five feet wide, and it could rush more than a dozen war horses side by side. The Turkic cavalry was getting closer and closer, three hundred steps...two hundred steps...

All the Turkic cavalry realized that the last moment had arrived. They raised their shields high, ran with their legs and shouted desperately.

Li Jing stared at the Turkic soldiers who were gradually rushing into the range of killing and wounding. They had already entered a hundred steps. Li Jing raised the red se flag. The drum sound suddenly became rapid, as if from walking to running,

'Dong!Dong!Dong!Dong!', this is the command to hit.

With the sound of a crossbow machine, the first row of 1,500 crossbow arrows densely approached the Turkic cavalry running towards him. The arrow net composed of dense crossbow arrows rushed towards the Turkic cavalry like a dark cloud.

Yang Yuanqing frowned slightly. Li Jing used three rows of sheep, he could understand, but one thousand five hundred crossbow arrows were all attacked together, which undoubtedly could only knock down dozens of cavalry in the front row. Is this too wasteful?

?

But his confusion only took a moment. He immediately understood that, except for the five hundred in front, the thousand crossbow arrows, the thousand crossbow arrows behind were all tilted, and the crossbow arrows passed through the front rows of enemies.

The army headed and headed towards the Turkic cavalry behind her.

The dense rain of arrows roared, and only a sound of slapping was heard, followed by a war horse neighing, and a group of people were slapped up and over...

The shields of the Turkic cavalry could not withstand the powerful crossbow arrows of the Sui army's crossbow army. The shields were penetrated and the armored arrows penetrated into the body. Blood splattered everywhere. In an instant, more than 200 people were knocked down.

At this time, the second and third rounds of arrows came one after another, and the Turkic cavalry suffered heavy casualties. The remaining 700 cavalry finally could not withstand the strong pressure of the Sui army's crossbow arrows, and turned their horses to flee, and

Hundreds of steps behind were the Turkic infantry following the rushing.

Guo Zihe was furious and poked a cavalry who had escaped first with a spear. More than a hundred of his personal soldiers also attacked and stabbed dozens of fugitive cavalry to death. Guo Zihe waved his spear and shouted loudly:

Rush over to me!"

Helplessly, the cavalry had to turn the dock and continue charging. Li Jing looked at the thousands of infantry behind him. Seeing that half of them rushed into the open area and the other half was still on the mountain road, he sneered, but raised a blue se flag.

, a rocket rose into the air and made a scream.

This made Yang Yuanqing stunned. He didn't understand what Li Jing meant. At this moment, huge rocks suddenly rolled on the hillsides on both sides, wrapped in snow, and rushed towards the mountain road. The sound was huge, like an avalanche. This was Li Jing's ambush in advance.

The three thousand soldiers showed their power and pried hundreds of huge rocks and rolled down.

The huge rock smashed down the head-on by more than 2,000 Turkic soldiers behind them. The soldiers were caught off guard. They screamed wildly, but they could not escape the catastrophe. With a loud bang, more than 2,000 people were accumulated by the huge rocks.

The snow was flooded, and the Turkic soldiers' retreat was completely blocked.

The sudden change caused chaos in the soldiers in front of him. Most of the soldiers were shocked and ran away with no heads and no brains. Guo Zihe was so anxious that he shouted: "Run out of the city and rush out!"

Li Jing pointed to Guo Zihe in the distance to Yang Yuanqing, "Your Highness, that general with golden helmet is Guo Zihe, the commander of the Turkic army, and these 30,000 troops are led by him."

Yang Yuanqing became a little interested in this person. He stretched out his hand and said, "Get my bow!"

A personal soldier handed the strong bow and iron arrow to Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing has not had a shear arrow for more than half a year. He blew the arrow, and the strong bow slowly opened. The bow was like a full moon. Yang Yuanqing's eyes slowly narrowed and loosened the strings.

,'Crash!' With a loud bang, the iron arrow broke out from the string and went to Guo Zi and She, who were one hundred and fifty steps away with a force like gold and cracking stone.

Guo Zihe felt something. When he turned around, the iron arrow suddenly appeared in front of him. He couldn't dodge and screamed, and only heard a "puff!" sound. The iron arrow entered his eyebrows and passed through his brain.

White brain burst out, and the tip of an arrow penetrated from the back of his head. Guo Zihe opened his mouth wide and fell to the ground on his back.

Yang Yuanqing put down his bow and smiled coldly, and hunted the head of an arrow. He hadn't felt so happy for a long time.

"Your Highness has a good archery technique!"

Li Jing exclaimed sincerely, and he raised the red flag again, and the drums were loud, and overwhelming arrows were densely swaying towards the enemy group.
