Volume 1 A Hundred Battles and Yellow Sand Wear Gold Armor Chapter 32 The End of the War

"Pass my order, the first one to kill the golden city will reward 100,000 sheep and seal the captain!"

Chuluo Khan personally supervised the 30,000-strong army to launch another fierce attack on Jincheng.

In front of the four walls of Jincheng, the corpses are piled up, and the viscous blood is about to refill the moat, in these three days, nearly 10,000 Turkic war dead, plus the battle damage a few days ago, just in the process of attacking Jincheng, more than 60,000 people were lost, plus 40,000 people lost in Shuiquanguan, and now there are 100,000 left in the 200,000 army.

The Sui army guarding Jincheng also suffered heavy casualties, Jincheng originally had 30,000 defenders, and 25,000 reinforcements from Longxi and Tianshui counties, a total of 80,000 troops. From the beginning of the Tuyuhun attack to the present, there are more than 30,000 people left, more than 40,000 people have been lost in battle, and the crossbow arrows and bows and arrows in the city are about to be exhausted.

During the interval between the battles, the soldiers were busy collecting arrows from the city, and most of the arrows of the Turkic army were shot at the city, and a small part of them passed through the city and landed in the city.

"General Han, we only have collected more than 50,000 arrows on our side." Captain Gao Pingwang stepped forward to report that one of his arms was cut off by the enemy while defending the city, and he was unable to go into battle, so he was responsible for collecting and sorting out the equipment and materials for defending the city.

"How many count!"

Han Ziliang watched the movement of the Turkic battalion army outside the city, and faintly had the feeling that the other party was jumping over the wall in a hurry.

"Reinforcements from the Governor of the Fish Metropolis should be coming soon!" Han Ziliang thought about it and looked forward to it. If he knew that he had come to the northwest to take up his post, and he had passed by a personal soldier who had been collected by Maiji Town, he had created miracles again and again, changed the entire battle situation, and indirectly was about to save his life, I don't know how he would feel.

In the sound of war drums, the Turkic army once again launched an attack on the city, this time it was more ferocious than any previous offset, and the war was the most tragic, in one afternoon the Western Turks lost more than 5,000 people, and the Sui army was killed and wounded nearly 2,000 people, the bones were piled up and down Jincheng, and the wilderness was stained red with blood, but Jincheng always stood majestically, and the morale of the Sui army was higher and higher the more they fought.

In the evening, a blood-red sunset shone through the clouds on the head of Jincheng, shining on the corpses above and below the head of the city like hell.

Some of these corpses were curled up with temporary pain on their faces, some were missing, the corpses were mutilated, and some were smashed into patties, and the flesh was blurred, and it was to be expected that if the corpses were not collected and drowned, a terrible plague would occur.

The Turkic army could not be attacked for a long time, and the morale was low, and although the Chuluo Khan was furious, he had to order a retreat.

At this time, the city head is exceptionally quiet, the Sui soldiers on all sides of the city are leaning against the wall and falling asleep, looking exhausted, more than ten days of fierce fighting, most of the people sleep less than two hours a day, and every day from morning to night have to fight, long exhausted.

In the south city wall, among the dozens of soldiers who fell asleep together, the main general Han Ziliang also fell asleep with the soldiers, his horse lance became a pillow for him and several soldiers, at this moment, there was no distinction between the main general and the soldiers, after more than ten days of fierce battles to defend the Golden City, everyone was enjoying this incomparably precious nap.

Taishou Chen Sansi led a team of guards to patrol the city, and when he passed by Han Ziliang's side, he sighed secretly: "The tiger father has no dogs." ”

Then, turning around and smiling and booing the guards, he led the people to leave quietly, at this time, a team of more than 100 people carried hot cakes and broth and walked quickly to the city, and the Sui soldiers began to be woken up and eat dinner.

……

……

Turkic battalions.

"Khan, this Sui soldier fell from the head of the city and smashed on the pile of corpses without falling to his death, he was captured by my own hands, I have tortured him, the bows and crossbows of the Sui army in the city have been used up as early as yesterday, and now they are all using the arrows we shot in, Khan gives me another chance, I promise to capture Jincheng tomorrow morning." The vultures cried and begged Luo Khan to give him another chance.

"Okay, I'll give you another chance, but if you can't capture Jincheng this time, I won't just kill you, I'll kill your entire clan."

The vultures hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "Thank you Khan, I will definitely capture Jincheng tomorrow." ”

When he said this, a trace of resentment flashed in the depths of his bald eyes.

……

The early morning sun also shone on the wilderness, an army of more than 70,000 people, waving flags, mighty and boundless.

This is the main force of the Sui army reinforcements that came through Shuiquan Pass after waiting for the fire at Shuiquan Pass to be extinguished and resting for half the night. Today, Yujura is no longer satisfied with driving the Turks away and saving Jincheng. Instead, he wanted to leave the Western Turkic Luo Khan and the remaining 100,000 Turkic troops in Jincheng County forever.

"Liu Fang, I am faintly uneasy, you lead all the cavalry to speed up, don't wait for the infantry, hurry up to rescue Jincheng."

Liu Fang agreed, the order was passed on, and soon more than 20,000 cavalry galloped towards Jincheng at full speed.

……

On the second day, Jincheng attacked and defended a morning of fierce battles, the city head was full of dead corpses, both sides suffered heavy casualties, the Western Turkic army of nearly 100,000 troops had been pressed on the whole line, the strength occupied an absolute advantage, they gradually began to gain the upper hand, the four walls of the city added up to more than 4,000 enemy troops rushed to the city, and the Sui army in the city head of the fierce battle, the situation became critical.

The huge physical exertion made the Sui army have reached the end of the crossbow, and the city walls of Jincheng are already full of holes, ruins and broken walls, and there is a sense of crumbling.

Seeing this, Luo Khan outside the city was ecstatic, and finally wanted to take this from the city, as long as there was food and grass in the city to replenish, and then based on Jincheng, firmly hold the Shuiquan Pass, this time to start a war against the Great Sui, at least take Jincheng County.

More and more Turkic soldiers killed in the city, the Sui soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and there were less than 20,000 people left in the city on all sides, Han Ziliang was covered in blood, and then he seemed to hear the horn sound from the south, which was the horn sound they were extremely familiar with, and it was the horn sound of the Sui army.

Han Ziliang shouted with all his strength: "Brothers, reinforcements have arrived, let us hold on until the last moment!" ”

The exhausted Sui soldiers roared angrily, and with the last of their strength, they slaughtered the tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers who rushed to the city......

At this moment, the sound of thousands of horses galloping came from the southern sky, and the Khan turned his head to look, and a torrent of black pressure swept towards their place.

Chu Luo Khan's face changed drastically, and he roared: "Quickly blow the trumpet and retreat." ”

However, by this time it was too late to retreat.

At this time, there were more than 10,000 Turkic soldiers at the head of the city, 30,000 or 40,000 were climbing up and running, and there were 40,000 or 50,000 people left in the camp.

……

On September 19, the third year of Renshou, 100,000 Turkic troops who were besieging the city retreated north in panic, and were chased and killed by Liu Fang with 20,000 cavalry, and the 100,000 Turkic army was defeated, and the Sui army pursued and killed more than 200 li, beheaded 67,000 people, and led less than 30,000 cavalry to flee by Luo Khan.

On September 28, because there was no grain and grass on the road, Chu Luo Khan and Tuyuhun begged for grain and grass to no avail, and destroyed more than 10 tribes of Tuyuhun and size, which annoyed the king of Bailan, and the two sides fought a big battle, and both sides were defeated.

On October 15, Yujuluo led an army of 80,000 to the west, and the king of Bailan gathered the strength of the whole clan and gathered an army of 70,000, and the two sides fought a field battle, Tuyuhun was defeated, and the king of Bailan fled to the shore of Qinghai Lake with more than 40,000 remnants.

On October 21, the Sui army subdued the three counties of Xiping, Wuwei, and Zhangye, which had been occupied by Tuyuhun.

At this point, the war between the Great Sui and the Turkic, Tuyuhun, and Godot alliances, which lasted for more than two months, came to an end.

……

If it is said that the recovery of Longxi City is a battle to win the initiative of the entire battle situation. Then, Liu Fang's defeat of Tuguhun in the first battle was the beginning of the Sui army's counteroffensive. The destruction of all the Turkic grain, grass, cattle and sheep can be regarded as the most important link in turning the tide of the war. It can be said that when the 40,000 Turkic army was burned or killed in Shuiquan Pass, it was already doomed to the end of Turkic defeat.

In the last three months of the war, after several twists and turns, although the Great Sui won the final victory and achieved fruitful results, the so-called killing of 1,000 enemies and self-losses of 800 were also extremely great.

The 80,000 troops who participated in the defense of Jincheng were killed in nearly 60,000 people, and nearly half of the remaining 10,000 troops were also wounded.

All the 5,000 people stationed in Longxi City were damaged in battle, and Li Yuanwen, the Taishou of Longxi County, committed suicide and martyrdom.

The 100,000 elites brought by Yujuluo from Guanzhong also lost more than 20,000 people.

According to post-war statistics, as many as 150,000 people were killed and taken captive by the Turkic, Tuyuhun, and Godot tribes, countless property was looted and taken away, and tens of thousands of families were destroyed. It can be said that after this war, the vitality of Yongzhou, which was still wealthy, was greatly damaged, and Emperor Yang Jian of Sui issued an order that the two counties of Jincheng and Longxi would be exempted from taxes for three years, so that the people could recuperate and restore their strength.

In stark contrast to the scene of the people in the two counties being ruined and crying out, the Great Sui Emperor and the court were all overjoyed by the victory, especially the three counties of Wuwei, Zhangye and Xiping, and trumpeted His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts. Of course, those who survive in the army will also rejoice that they have received a good reward.

In the third year of Renshou, on November 1, the reward decree of the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui and the latest order of the imperial court finally arrived.

First of all, the three counties of Wuwei, Zhangye and Xiping were included in the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, and each set up a government army. In addition, the Yongzhou Assassin and the marching commander each set up a position, and the military and government were separated.

Then there's the top-down rewards.

The governor of the capital, Yujuluo, added 1,000 households, added the hussar general, added the title of Han Gong, and temporarily acted as the head of the Yongzhou march.

Jincheng County Taishou Chen Sansi added 800 households to the food yip, added the seal of Heyin County Gong, and promoted the official to Yongzhou Thorn History.

The general Liu Fang added 500 households to the city, added the title of Qingshui County Duke, and concurrently served as the governor of Yongzhou.
