Chapter 080: Rush

However, it was said that Yang Tong had left Yunnei, and the 35,000 cavalry under his command, under the leadership of scouts who were familiar with the terrain of Saibei, quickly marched.

As soon as you leave the Great Wall, large areas of grasslands and hills are undulating. In the steppe, there are Turkic tribes sporadically, and these herdsmen live in pursuit of water and grass, and are nomadic and uncertain.

For these Turkic tribes that appeared on the road, Yang Tong did not have the slightest politeness and directly launched a surprise attack.

Repeated-

Encirclement, annihilation...... Annihilation, encirclement.

Seeing that there were not many young and strong guards in each tribe, he urgently ordered Jiang Xingben to send troops to be responsible for annihilating and plundering the Turkic tribes near Baitan County.

For this hungry wolf-like nomad, Yang Tong did not have the slightest mercy or softness.

And when the Turkic tribes were destroyed, a large number of people in the Central Plains were rescued.

Listen to them!

The Central Plains men who were captured to the grassland could only sleep in the cattle and sheep pens, and in order to prevent them from escaping, the Turks did not feed them, which was inferior to pigs and dogs. They survived because the Turks used them as cattle slaves and sheep slaves and grazed them for them.

Yang Tong was furious when he heard this, and asked Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong to continue westward, while he took the people and cattle to kill in the direction of Baitan County, and Jiang Xingben to the west and east, killing a life channel.

After that, it turned west again. And Jiang Xingben was responsible for maintaining this passage and responding to the people who were rescued later.

After meeting Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong again, he continued to kill all the way. He also gave an order to the rescued people, asking them to drive their cattle, sheep, horses, and property to Baitan County.

These people in the Central Plains were forced by the situation, and they all learned to drive cattle and sheep for grazing, and driving cattle and sheep is their specialty.

Yang Tong rescued them from the fire and water, and promised to resettle, and they did everything they could to do what they could, sweeping away the cattle, sheep, horses, and belongings of the annihilated tribes.

If he encountered a tribe without the people of the Central Plains, Yang Tong tied his belongings to the cattle, and then drove a section to the east, letting them walk along the grassland by themselves, and then Jiang Xingben in the rear took them back to Baitan County. After that, some people passed from the west and brought them back to Baitan County along the way, so that the army was always able to travel lightly and made a lot of money.

In just a few days, no less than a hundred Turkic tribes were destroyed by them.

There were very few young men in these tribes, and they all said that the strong men had gone with the Great Khan to the south to threw in the grass valleys.

Although Yang Tong didn't have the heart to kill these old and weak, he snatched the cattle, horses and sheep clean, and killed all the ones that he couldn't take away.

Cattle and sheep are the necessities of life of the Turks, and if they kill them, they will lose their way of life, and without cattle and sheep, they will lose their livelihood.

The army roasted the beef and mutton in the evening, wrapped it and put it on horseback, and after completing the supplies, it continued to gallop away.

The rest stayed, these Turkic old and weak have livestock meat to maintain a life, and they will be fine for the time being, but after eating, they will fend for themselves, and it is now September, winter is coming, whether they can live out, only God knows. In short, the Turks will be sad this winter, they will be reduced by hunger and cold, and many tribes will weaken and die.

At this moment, if you look at it from the sky, there are red waves surging everywhere over a vast area of thousands of miles. This red color is not only the armor of the Sui army, but also the blood of the Turks!

This is the largest revenge operation after the siege of Yanmen. Countless tribes harassed the Sui army, and countless Turks did their tricks.

In the defeat of the Turkic tribes, eating roast mutton and roast beef, and eating roast hump, it is a rare ease when marching hard.

At night, they rested in the tents of the Turks, and during the day they took away the dried meat found in the tribe, and poured two large naan, mare's milk, or goat's milk, camel's milk.

Wherever the Sui army passed, the Turkic tribes did not have a single horse or camel that could run, nor did they have cattle and sheep to graze, and even in the back, the Sui army did not need to do it themselves, only drove the Turkic men to kill.

As for the people of the Central Plains who were in distress, they had horses to travel eastward, and the Turks could not catch up with them.

After the Sui army left, what was left was a dead grassland and weeping tribes.

The women and children were weeping, and without the cows, horses, and sheep, they didn't know what to do with the rest of their lives. I don't even know that the Sui army has already hit Saibei, so what about their husbands and sons who went south to fight Caogu!

The whole steppe is immersed in sorrow and fear! Some Turkic old people also evoked memories that had been forgotten for a long time: the violent Sui army slaughtered the entire grassland, killing rivers of blood and corpses all over the field!

The army rested for a day on the shores of the begging lake, divided into three columns and marched westward along the Golden River, with scouts in charge of contact, burning and plundering along the way. It is like a locust transiting, killing, robbing, and burning. Everywhere he went, there were countless dead and wounded, and blood was pouring all over the field. This place is slowly approaching the court of the Turkic Monan Khan, and the slightest kindness of a woman will ruin a big thing.

On another day's journey, there were already Turkic generals who had stayed behind in the Khan's court with cavalry to intercept them, but how could they be the opponents of the murderous Sui army?

Every time, Yang Tong did not hesitate to kill directly.

First send the light cavalry out of the ranks, and then hide behind the light cavalry with heavy cavalry.

After the light cavalry had been shot, when the two armies approached, the heavy cavalry suddenly came out, calmly knocked the Turkic light cavalry into pieces, and then the light cavalry surrounded and slaughtered the group.

Thousands of light horsemen were solved by the Sui army in a few clicks.

After Yang Tong defeated the Turkic army, he did not pursue, but grabbed those lightly wounded Turkic soldiers and continued to head west. Now it is possible to ignore them and go to the Khan Court to report the news, or go to the Tiger Pass to report to Shibi.

Because this place is less than a hundred miles away from the Khan's Court, in terms of time, he has an advantage, and when Shibi comes to his senses, he has taken the city-like Turkic Khan's Court without any pressure. Defending the city has always been the strength of the Central Plains army, and attacking the city is precisely the shortcoming of the Turks.

The court of the Turkic Monan Khan.

Finally received the exact news.

Although there were some sporadic "rumors" sent back before, they were not detailed information at all. The rumors only said that there was a ghost cavalry on the steppe, and the cattle and sheep in the place where they passed were dead, and the people were dead

The herdsmen all said that they were the sword of the Immortal Heaven, saying that the Immortal Heaven was dissatisfied with them and came to punish them.

They didn't even know where the army came from, how many men there were, where it came from.

And now, they finally know.

This so-called Immortal Heavenly Sword is the army of the Great Sui. There were tens of thousands, all of them elite cavalry.

At that time, Yang Tong did not deliberately hide his deeds, he made people play the banner of the Great Sui and his own handsome flag in a dignified manner! After poisoning the tribes encountered, he spread rumors among the Turks that the Shibi army had been defeated and that a million Sui troops were about to be killed.

In just a few days, legends about them spread like the wind in the south of the Great Wall.

"It was Yang Tong, the king of Qin in the Sui Dynasty, who came with a large army to kill."

"Our Turks betrayed the Sui Dynasty that supported us, and after Yang Tong completely annihilated the Great Khan's southern expeditionary troops, he led the Sui army to retaliate, and many Turkic people took refuge in them and led the way for them."

The Sui Dynasty and the Turks coexisted peacefully for more than 20 years, and the Turks were the dogs of the Sui Dynasty for more than 20 years, and the strength of the Sui Dynasty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

Shibi Khan's army marched south without a response, but the Sui army retaliated, causing panic to spread like a plague across the steppe.

And the information about Yang Tong is also more and more, more and more detailed.

In the Sui Dynasty, Shang Shuling, the champion general, and Yang Tong, the king of Qin, led 30,000 cavalry, and in his army of death, there were tens of thousands of Turkic warriors who followed them.

Each of their warriors had three horses.

They eat raw beef and drink horse blood.

They came to punish the nobles of the Khan court who betrayed the Great Sui,

Not only did they not hurt the commoners, but they also distributed the cattle and sheep of the nobles of various tribes to the poor families. As long as you are poor, do not be afraid.

This last point is indeed true.

Most of the Turkic commoners raised a few sheep and horses to make a living, but the Turkic nobles owned thousands of cattle and sheep. They usually hired Turkic people to raise horses for them, and used slaves plundered from the Central Plains as cattle and sheep slaves to graze for them.

Those who approached the Khan's court were the territories of the Turkic nobles, and there were more and more people in the Central Plains who were in distress, some of them were robbed when Shibi went south, and some of them were paid tribute to the Turks by the Turkic lackeys such as Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, adding up to more than 200,000 yuan, and Yang Tong asked them to ride horses, drive cattle and horses along the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and return to Baitan County. The very slow sheep were given to the Turkic herdsmen to divide them among themselves, and then spread rumors of kindness to the Turkic civilians, intending to reduce the pressure on the road and the pressure of attacking the Khan.

Yang Tong learned this trick from a little devil, and he was the same coy, hypocritical and deceitful.

And the more than 10,000 young men captured by him were cannon fodder for the attack on the Khan Court.
