(Commuter Pass)

When the Turks withdrew, they were quite orderly and orderly.

For Beihu, this is very rare, and it also shows that the Turkic Khanate is different from the Xiongnu, such as the Rouran.

They had more contacts with the Central Plains Empire, so they were stronger than their ancestors in many aspects, such as writing, political system, military system, etc.

This is also the reason why later generations will say that the prosperity of Rong Di is unprecedented.

In the middle of September of the 11th year of the Great Cause, the Turkic army returned to the north.

The baggage went first, the main army followed, and the left and right were guarded by the cavalry of the main Turkic army, and 40,000 main cavalry were left behind.

The golden wolf flag fluttered high in the cold wind, more than ten miles away, vaguely visible, so when the troops were withdrawn from Yanmen, the Turkic army did not look a little down, just like when they took advantage of the situation, they were so majestic and did not allow anyone to take lightly.

However, when the army entered Mayi, it was heard that the Sui reinforcements did not catch up, but stopped at Yanmen City, and the Turkic army relaxed up and down.

The two armies have never been in contact at all, and they do not care about separation, but they are getting farther and farther apart, and they have not shown any fighting intentions.

The Turks were bent on returning to the north, and the Sui reinforcements were patchwork, the combat strength was low, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and there was no idea of fighting with the Turks to save face for the emperor.

As a result, here of the Turks, many tribal nobles felt that the war was over, and the only thing left was to hurry.

Soon after entering Mayi County, the Turkic army was in disarray.

At this time, even the Turkic Khan will not say anything more. Because the nobles of the Turkic tribes also began to move closer to the khan.

The first thing to do. It will not be anything else, but the cattle, sheep and horses of their own tribe. Place it in a place where you can see it, so that when the army disperses, you will be taken advantage of by others.

Therefore, when the Turkic army passed through Mayi and headed north, it had already become a group, and it is estimated that when the Khan issued an order for the counties to go by the time they left the fortress, this army would disappear in an instant.

As a matter of fact. The Turkic nobles and generals were not satisfied, because the effort was great, but the gain was too small, and the return journey was too long.

The tribes in Mobei are estimated to be able to go back in November, and the nearest ones will be October.

Therefore, most of them will choose to spend the winter in Dingxiang County and snuggle up to the main headquarters for warmth. Moreover, they are also waiting for the reward from the Lord.

Of course, the Turkic royal court was the main body of the Turks, and most of them had already gone south with the Khan. Occupy the warmer steppes in the clouds.

On this expedition, all the departments of the royal court worked hard, and they did not expect the khan to give them additional officials and knights. They didn't expect too many slaves and rewards, they hoped. Son of the gods, their noble Khan. For the sake of their heroic fighting, we can give them a rich pasture where they can recuperate.

Therefore, on the way to withdraw the army, the sweat account was the busiest place, and the Khan was anxious and irritable during the journey of the north wind, and the flames on his head could almost be lit with firewood.

Therefore, no one cared, and the army gradually became chaotic.

The cattle and sheep were almost divided, some were wrapped up in the army, and some gradually fell behind, mixed with the Sui slaves who drove all the way north.

The armies of the palaces were retracted to the left and right of the sweat account, and countless warriors of various tribes were like cattle and sheep, mixed together, east and west, grazing cattle and sheep while driving Sui slaves, becoming the tail of the army.

……………………………………

In the northeast of Mayi, the cold wind is raging, blowing snow all over the sky.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves like muffled thunder broke through the calm of the world constructed by the ice and snow and cold wind, and soon, a black line appeared in the sky, and groups of Sui cavalry rode up.

Eight thousand cavalry, starting from Yunnei City, slowly stopped when they came to the edge of Yunnei Horse Farm.

The brand-new battle flag of the Sui Army finally fluttered high above the head of the Heng'an Town Army, a big Li character was painted in the middle of the battle flag, and the flags of all departments of the Heng'an Town Army were also hung out.

Li Po was perched on a hill and looked to the west with an expressionless face.

This time, there is no need to be tricky, more than 9,000 soldiers in Hengan Town have brought out 8,000, and all the soldiers who can ride horses, and even can run a few steps on horseback without falling off, are here.

War horses are not a problem, the current war horses in Hengan Town, I can't stand it anymore.

Such a cavalry army will definitely not be able to fight any tough battles, as long as it encounters a larger number of Turkic cavalry, half of the Sui cavalry is wood, waiting to be cut down by someone.

But the morale of the Sui army was very high, because they had to carry much more things on their backs when they stepped on the battlefield this time.

The most important one is that in order for the people in Yunnei City to not go hungry next year, especially their fathers, elders, wives and children, they must fight with their lives in this winter, and even exchange their lives.

And they are different from those "rebels" and officers and soldiers in Sui, they are going to rob the Turks this time, and they will not have the slightest guilt in their hearts.

They still can't think clearly about the fundamental difference between foreign wars and internal strife, but they always know that if they rob the Turks, they will be praised and rewarded by everyone, and if they rob the Sui people, they will be called thieves.

Li Po, who led the troops out, gradually felt the burden on his body, as the so-called not in his position, not seeking his own government.

If he is still a member of the army in Heng'an Town, and stays in Heng'an Town honestly, he will only think about the issue of the whole army's grain and grass expenditure, and he will definitely not take people out to die, follow the Turkic army, and walk such a tightrope.

But now it's different, he has actually become the general of Heng'an Town, and he has included Yunnei City under the rule of Heng'an Town.

Then the responsibility is completely different, whether it is not wanting people to starve to death in the city next year, or worrying that there will be not enough food next year, and there will be civil strife in Yunnei City, or for the sake of the Hengan Town Army itself, he doesn't want the soldiers to centrifuge, or it is the news that makes him feel that he has an opportunity.

Anyway, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he let Li Bi sit in the city, and he almost poured out with the Hengan town army.

The first goal is very clear, Yunnei Racecourse.

This place is Li Po's starting place, and it is also his blessed land, no matter what, he is eyeing this place.

Now, Yunnei Horse Farm has become a Turkic brigade station, and those who pass by are willing to rest here and warm their bodies, who let the houses in this place build so much, and so good.

The Heng'an Town Army's road-blocking and robbery operation began at the northeast edge of Yunnei Racecourse.

The first victim was also produced, they came from the direction of Shenwu, there were quite a few of them, and they belonged to the subordinate tribes of the Turkic royal court, which was almost the slave department, and they carried the slaves captured in Shenwu City, drove cattle and sheep, and walked very slowly.

So, it was no surprise that they rested in the settlement area of Yunnei Racecourse.

Of course, they have fallen behind a lot, if you look down from the sky, they are very disjointed, most of them have followed the main force of the army, and see the Great Wall in the north, and the tail is still here in Yunnei Racecourse.

There are almost 5,000 Turks here, which shows what a huge army it would be if they were all in one place.

More than 5,000 people, if they confronted head-on, the Sui army, which was full of morale and recuperated, would undoubtedly be able to defeat this Turkic cavalry, which was in a hurry to return north and was already tired and demoralized.

But the damage is hard to say, but fortunately, it was another raid.

Facts show that the Turks are very poor in dealing with surprise attacks, because they have little experience in dealing with surprise attacks, in the steppe, the so-called surprise attack, is to get as close as possible to the enemy's tribe before the other party notices, and then it must be a strong attack, and it is a strong attack that is not close.

This is completely different from the raid that the Sui people said.

This time, Li Po did not lead the army to attack in the early morning, they still have a lot to do, this is just an appetizer, and they can't delay too much effort here.

So, the attack began before sunset, and the army was divided into two parts, one of four thousand men, and advanced from two directions.

The Turks were slow to react, perhaps they were already familiar with the sound of horses' hooves, or perhaps they were too lax, until the Sui horses had galloped wildly, and some scattered Turks rode out of the settlement to prepare for battle.

At this time, they may not know how so many Sui cavalry could appear out of thin air here.

The Turks looked in horror at the overwhelming cavalry of the Sui army, and instinctively urged their horses to follow behind their leaders or brave warriors.

They were not surprisingly overwhelmed by the Sui army, and this time, the Sui army did not rush into the settlement in one go, but like the tide of a reef, it crossed the edge of the settlement and fired arrows, knocking the Turkic cavalry to the ground.

And then...... A part of the Sui army rolled the saddle and dismounted, picked up shields, swords, guns, bows and arrows, and directly turned into foot soldiers, advancing towards the settlement area from all directions.

Slashing with knives and spears, supplemented by bows and arrows, rapid advances, and skillful infantry skills are undoubtedly displayed in them.

The sound of fighting continued until the sky darkened, and finally, a Turkic army composed of hundreds of people first fought hard from the shield wall of the infantry and the rain of swords, guns and arrows, and then broke through the barrier of the outer cavalry, leaving only more than 200 people, and fled frantically to the north.

This kind of situation happened a few times, the Sui army didn't care, the resistance in the settlement area, as the last Turkic cavalry broke through, the sound of fighting in the settlement gradually faded away, and it also symbolized that there were no more living Turks inside.
