Yunnei County is located between the Wuzhou Mountains and the Suzhen Mountains, is a basin of hundreds of miles wide, historically, here was a very prosperous county seat, its former name was Pingcheng County, that is, the later generations of Datong, it was the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and the six towns were completely destroyed by the angry army when the rebellion.

After the establishment of the Great Sui, Pingcheng had a little more vitality, gathered thousands of people to live, the Sui Dynasty renamed it Yunnei County, but with the rise of Liu Wuzhou's rebellion and the invasion of the Turks, thousands of people in this county died, fled, and the county was deserted again.

When night fell, 10,000 Sui troops arrived in Yunnei County, and at this time, two scouts greeted them and bowed to Pei Xingyan and reported: "General Qiyu, there are about a thousand troops in Yangma City!" ”

Pei Xingyan nodded, this is consistent with their intelligence, Yangma City originally had five thousand Liu Wuzhou's garrison, but because of the tense war in the south, Liu Wuzhou transferred most of the troops in Yunnei County to Loufan County, leaving only one thousand defenders.

It is easy to completely annihilate this thousand defenders, the key is not to escape a single person, especially not to report to the Turkic army who are begging, Pei Xingyan was a little undecided.

At this moment, a wisp of dust appeared in the distance, it seemed that a cavalryman was rushing diagonally from the west, Pei Xingyan ordered in a low voice: "Intercept this person!" ”

The two teams of cavalry immediately rushed out and outflanked the cavalry, the cavalry suddenly found that there was an army in front of him to intercept, and was immediately taken aback, turned around and fled, but another Sui cavalry outflanked him from behind, and the two armies quickly surrounded him, and raised their crossbows together to aim at him, the cavalry was so frightened that he raised his hand to surrender, shouting something, the Sui cavalry stepped forward to catch him and brought him to Pei Xingyan.

"General, it's Liu Wuzhou's herald!"

The captured soldier knelt in front of Pei Xingyan and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy.

Pei Xingyan opened the letter he was carrying, there were two letters, one was a roll of sheepskin, which was densely filled with Turkic script, which should be a reply, and the other military order was to ask the defenders of Yangma City to go south, and the Turkic army would take over the defense here.

Pei Xingyan said coldly: "If you want to live, you have to explain honestly, what is going on with these two letters?" ”

"Report to the general, because your army is very anxious to attack Lou Annoy......."

The soldier obviously mistook the army in front of him for the Tang army, Pei Xingyan interrupted him, "We are not the Tang army, we are the Sui army!" ”

"Ahh

The messenger was stunned, there was actually the Sui army in front of him, how could the Sui army come to merge the state?

Pei Xingyan asked, "Are you saying that the Tang Army is attacking Lou Fu Pass?" ”

"Exactly! Forty or fifty thousand Tang troops have been besieging Lou Fu Pass for a month, and our king is almost unable to resist, so he sends villains to send a letter to the Turkic army begging for help. ”

"And then?"

Pei Xingyan asked, "Keep talking!" ”

"Then the Turkic army will soon come to take over the city of sheep and horses, and the defenders of the city will all go south to bother the pass."

Pei Xingyan already understood the meaning of the messenger, he handed the Turkic parchment letter to a sergeant next to him, and the sergeant looked at it and said: "General, it says that the Turkic army will divide its troops into two routes, all the way to take over Yangma City, and all the way to Loufu Pass to help in the war."

"How many people are there in each of the two Turkic armies?"

"The letter didn't say it."

"Then you should know!" Pei Xingyan lowered his head and asked the herald.

The herald was frightened, "The villain doesn't know, but it's ......."

"But what? Say! ”

"However, the Turks once suggested that the king of my family said that it was enough for only a thousand troops to garrison the city of sheep and horses, and it would be a waste if there were too many, so the king of my family followed their advice and withdrew four thousand troops, leaving only one thousand troops to guard the city of sheep and horses."

Pei Xingyan understood what he meant, thought for a while and asked, "Has the Turkic army that went south to support Lou Fu Pass set off?" ”

"When the villain left, they hadn't set off yet, and their captain said that they would send troops within three days at the earliest, and they should send troops now."

"How is the equipment of the Turkic army?" The deputy next to him asked Tao Tao.

"The equipment of the Turkic army is similar, leather armor, spears and war horses, but this Turkic army is very combat-ready, and it is said that it is the guard of their khan."

Pei Xingyan snorted heavily, and reprimanded angrily: "Seeing that you look like a Han person, you actually helped a foreign race to slaughter your brothers and sisters, how can you explain to your ancestors and ancestors?" ”

The herald wept and said: "The villain is just a small soldier, he can't help himself, and the villain doesn't want to help the Turks and be bullied by them. ”

"Then you will make meritorious atonement and take us to intercept the Turks."

"The villain is willing to serve the general!"

Pei Xingyan asked people to take him down, and then Vice Admiral Tao asked, "Is the general going to let Yangma City go for the time being?" ”

Pei Xingyan nodded, "I'm afraid that the military division will not know the enemy's situation and will be attacked from behind by the Turkic army, since the main purpose of our northward march is to annihilate this Turkic army, then simply face it head-on and test our mixed combat formation, as for Yangma City, they can't escape!" ”

"Then ask the general to give the order!" ”

Pei Xingyan immediately ordered: "Order the army to march westward!" ”

The 10,000 Sui army did not continue to attack Yunnei County in the north, but turned to the west, leaving only dozens of scouts to monitor Yunnei County's every move.

.........

Going south from Fu Qibo is generally to take the straight line trade road west of Wuzhou Mountain, that is, the Mayi Road that Zhang Xuan walked north for the first time, but this famous trade road of the Great Sui has not been passed by caravans for many years, and some small Turkic tribes along the way have also moved north due to war, and the barren grass in many places grows taller than people.

After running for more than 100 miles, the Sui army arrived at Zihe at noon the next day, this area is an endless fertile grassland, overgrown with alfalfa, and 5,000 war horses have the best fodder, but the Sui soldiers have not much food, and each person only has two days of dry food.

This made Pei Xingyan a little worried, Pei Xingyan sat on a big rock to study the terrain, this area is grassland and forest, the Purple River meanders like a jade belt around a large forest, and the Purple River has gradually entered the dry period, the river is very shallow, and the cavalry can directly wade through the river.

A group of soldiers sat on the grass to drink water and rest, suddenly, the earth began to tremble slightly, all the Sui soldiers immediately jumped up, they were experienced, they all knew what was going on, the Sui army's well-trained at this moment fully reflected the appearance, the infantry quickly lined up, the cavalry mounted one after another, Pei Xingyan shouted: "Hard crossbow to resist the river array!" ”

He pointed his whip at the forest on the left, "Cavalry into the forest to hide!" ”

The 5,000 cavalry turned their horses and rushed towards the forest, which was the consistent strategy of the Sui army, and the enemy was currently trying to hide his strength as much as possible and arrogant his heart with a weak brigade.

The 2,000 assembled Sui soldiers rushed to the Zihe River first, lined up in a long row, and raised crossbows in a formation to buy time for the Sui army to assemble behind.

At this time, a black line appeared several miles away, and the Turkic cavalry appeared.

This Turkic cavalry has a total of 5,000 people, but 1,000 cavalry were divided into Yunnei County to guard Yangma City, and only 4,000 Turkic cavalry remained.

Kang Sheli also knew that Liu Wuzhou was defeated by the crown prince Li Jiancheng, suffered heavy losses, and was almost unable to support it, so after he received Liu Wuzhou's distress letter, he immediately led his army south to help the battle, but he did not expect to be attacked by another mysterious army.

The Turkic cavalry also found the infantry of the Sui army in front, and they all reined in their horses, and Kang Sheli was shocked, how could the Tang army be here? Could it be that the Tang army has already conquered Lou Fu Pass and completely annihilated Liu Wuzhou?

"Zhuguo, it doesn't seem to be the Tang Army!"

A commander pointed to the opposing military flag and shouted: "The flag is wrong! ”

Kang Yanli also saw it, it turned out to be the Qinglong Red Banner, this is the military flag of the Northern Sui, he was even more surprised, why did the army of the Northern Sui come?

But as soon as he thought about it, he understood that Liu Wuzhou had been defeated repeatedly, and seeing that the destruction was imminent, the Sui army went down the mountain to pick fruits, and Kang Yanli couldn't help but curse shamelessly.

Scolding and scolding, he also has to solve the situation in front of him, he saw that there was still a part of the army on the other side that was hastily regrouping, obviously this was an encounter, the opponent's strength was about the same as his own, but the other party was infantry, and he should be weaker than himself in terms of strength.

Kang Shealy raised his hand and ordered: "Advance slowly!" ”

The Turkic cavalry did not immediately charge, but slowly advanced forward, at this time, the Sui army also began to line up and retreat quickly, it seemed very hurried, but the team was not scattered, they seemed to want to get rid of the Turkic cavalry, Kang Sheli couldn't help but sneer, "If you want to run, it's not so easy." ’
