Chapter 575: The Tiger Falls in Pingyang

In Xiting Gorge, in half a day, the Dragon and Tiger Guards built a simple fortification, in addition to adding obstacles, Fang Yiai also had two trenches dug in front of them to limit the mobility of the Turkic cavalry.

After everything was done, the Dragon and Tiger Guard soldiers took advantage of the limited time to rest, and at this time, the scouts also rode the dozens of stolen war horses and dispersed. Since arriving at Xiting Canyon, Li Mu has not stopped, he walked on the top of the mountain, and also observed the direction of Wolf Mountain with a simple telescope, but there was not even a figure there except for the mountains and forests.

"Major General, the last general feels that it is necessary to let the scouts expand five miles, there has been no movement in the direction of this wolf mountain, and the last general is always panicked!" Li Mu said, with a worried look on his face, sometimes people are like this, the more invisible, the more afraid.

"Well, Li Mu, you let people ride more than a dozen horses to the area of Wolf Mountain and Jinshan, no matter what method you use, you must find out the movements of the Turks!"

Like Li Mu, Fang Yiai also had a heart, saying that after so many years of fighting, it was the first time to face such an unaware situation, and when had he not first figured out the enemy's situation.

Fang Yiai put all his energy into the northeast of the canyon at this time, and even the fortifications were facing north, but he would never have thought that the Turks would kill him from behind.

Khan Futu City has changed its appearance, the royal flag of Gaochang State has become the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty, and the monarch Ju Zhisheng has also become a slave of the dead country. Sitting in the palace of Gaochang Wang, Hou Junji had an indescribable excitement, now there is only one Yanqi Town left, Hou Junji is 100% sure that he can drive Ashina Ju out of Yanqi Town before it gets dark tomorrow, and then further threaten the Qiuzi Kingdom in the west. Although Datang has no intention of mobilizing troops against the Qiuci Kingdom, Hou Junji will not let go of this opportunity, he thinks the same as Fang Yiai, even if he bears some infamy, he must take down the Qiuci Kingdom, otherwise Yanqi Town will be too dangerous.

Ju Zhisheng stayed in the palace honestly, and all the guards around him were replaced by soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, and now, Ju Zhisheng can only hope for the mercy of the Tang Emperor, as for holding his fate in his own hands, it is simply wishful thinking.

The city of Khan Futu fell into the hands of the Tang army, and the Turks in Yanqi Town began to become panicked, and the desire valley did not expect the Tang army to be so fast, and it swept the entire Tarim Valley in less than half a month, the Yining grassland was lost, and the Mohe River was lost, and the defense line established by the Turks was so vulnerable in front of the Tang army.

Desire Valley didn't leave too many words, when the night came, he quietly left Yanqi Town and went west, Ashina didn't go, more precisely, he couldn't go, Desire Valley has a place to live, but he Ashina Moment can't. As a member of the Ashina Society, he knew very well what defeat meant, and at this moment, Ashina thought of surrendering, otherwise he would not be able to survive even if he returned to the Turks.

Early in the morning of the second day, under the command of Hou Junji, He Li led an army of 30,000 to surround the lonely Yanqi Town.

He Li didn't attack immediately, he was waiting for the best time, and the person who was in a hurry at this time should be Ashina.

On the evening of August 10, the Tang army buried the pot to make rice, and He Li also hummed a little song with a relaxed face, according to the current situation, it is estimated that there is no need to fight this battle, and Ashina will surrender.

"General, the scouts in front have reported that a large number of Turkic cavalry have been found in the Alashan Pass north of the Tianshan Mountains!"

Qi Bi opened his eyes violently, why are there so many Turkic cavalry in Alashan Pass? Without thinking about it, he immediately asked, "What is the specific situation?" ”

"General Hui, look at the banner should be the men and horses of the Turkic avant-garde division, they have already converged with the remnants of the Suge army and entered the Alashan Pass at this time!"

Avant-garde? Qi Bi He couldn't help but clench his fists, this is the number one tiger master in the Turkic territory. Unlike other tiger divisions, the avant-garde division is all composed of cavalry, and the ones selected are even more warlike warriors in the clan.

"Well, look again, Ben will know where the Turks are now!"

"No!" The scout withdrew from the big tent, and Qi He Li looked at Yanqi Town on the map with a solemn face, no matter what, this Turk came too suddenly, why didn't he hear any movement before? At this time, He Li had already calculated whether to give up Yanqi Town, and he really didn't want to fight the avant-garde division on the Yining grassland, because it was purely stupid.

Half an hour later, another scout hurried to the big tent, "General, Turkic avant-garde division and Suge people, after crossing the Alashan Pass, go directly to the north!" ”

Qibi He Li was a little puzzled, why did the Turks go north to the north if they bypassed the Alashan Pass and did not come to reinforce Yanqi Town? After laying out the map, Qibi He Lizai carefully looked for what was on the north side of Alashankou, and when he saw the four words of Xiting Canyon, the whole person was a little frozen.

"Xiting Canyon, it's over!" With a loud scream, Qi Qi He Li collapsed directly on the cushion, this is really over, this Dahal is really as cunning as a fox, leaving Yanqi Town alone, but going straight to Xiting Canyon. From the Xiting Canyon to the south, there is only one road to the Alashan Pass, if Dahal and Suge seal the southern end of the Xiting Canyon, the more than 10,000 dragon and tiger guard troops in the valley will become turtles in the urn.

Qi Bi He Li knows the important surname of Long Huwei very well, not to mention that there is still this house where there is love. In Li Shimin's eyes, even if he loses Khan Futu City, he will not let Fang Yiai die, not only because of Fang Yiai's military talent, but also because he is Li Shimin's closest son-in-law.

For a while, Qibi He Li also understood Dahal's choice a little, after the loss of Khan Futu City, Yanqi Town was like a piece of chicken ribs, but the Dragon and Tiger Guard beloved by Fang was different, if this army could be completely annihilated, it would be too big a blow to the Tang Army.

If you can't let Fang Yi die of love, even if you let Yanqi Town go, you have to rescue the people in Xiting Canyon.

Thinking of this, Qibi He Li gave the order for the whole army to assemble, and he left only 5,000 people to guard Yanqi Town, and the rest of the men and horses all rushed to Alashankou. Qi He Li also thought about asking Hou Junji, but the military newspaper was not written, so he tore up the letterhead, although Qi He Li was reckless, but he was not a fool, so many people and horses in the avant-garde division crossed the Poplar River, this scout would not be able to find out? The answer is yes, the scout must have reported back to the marshal, but he still transferred the dragon and tiger guards of the Chishui River to the Xiting Canyon, and the thoughts in this are self-evident. It's too complicated, Qi He Li doesn't want to care, now he wants to rescue Fang Yiai, if he leaves this horse master in Xiting Canyon, then he Qi He Li will not be able to get rid of it.

Ashina has always been very hesitant, he doesn't think he can fight the strength of the Qibi outside the city, that barbarian is simply unreasonable when he fights, and he won't stop if he doesn't kill you without temper. When he heard that the Tang army had withdrawn and only 5,000 men and horses were left to confront him, the first thing that came to Ashina's mind was that Qi Bi He Li was playing a conspiracy, and he must have been thinking about how to sneak attack Yanqi Town. Thinking of this, Ashinaju broke out in a cold sweat, Ashinaju really didn't want to die, so he let go of the gate of Yanqi Town with apprehension.

Ashina Ju surrendered, which made Tan Bin, who was in charge of the confrontation, quite puzzled, thinking that he would attack the city when the marshal's reinforcements arrived, who would have thought that this Ashina Ju would surrender. Although he wondered, Tan Bin would not let go of this opportunity, pretending to have reinforcements behind him and disarming the Turks in Yanqi Town. Knowing that after enclosing the Turks, Tan Bin still had an unreal feeling, this military exploit could not be stopped.

Xiting Canyon, the afterglow of the evening fell on the bluestone hill, Fang Yiai held his chin and looked at the sunset on the horizon, all the time, he felt that the sunset in Xia Yue was very beautiful, but today, he couldn't feel relaxed at all, even in the face of the rare fire clouds, he was still so flustered.

"Kick and kick" Huang Zhen may have run too quickly, and accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, and after touching the stone, blood instantly broke out on his forehead. Huang Zhen didn't care about the pain, wiped the blood stains and got up again, and when he reached the top of the mountain, Huang Zhen said in a panic, "Young General, it's not good, there are a lot of Turkic people in the south and the south!" ”

Fang Yiai's heart chuckled, and the first thing he thought of was that Huang Zhen was joking, but after seeing the blood stains on Huang Zhen's forehead, Fang Yiai asked with some trembling, "Huang Zhen, you say slowly, what's going on?" ”

"Young General, this time, the last general led people to the southern col to find some dry firewood, who knows, I saw that there were a lot of Turks in the col, and looking at their attire, it should be Dahal's avant-garde division!"

"Hou Junji, I'll fuck your mother!" Fang Yiai suddenly figured out everything, he never understood why there was no shadow of the Turkic army in the direction of Wolf Mountain, but now he has completely figured it out, Hou Junji has played a beautiful murder plan with a knife.

Fang Yiai's angry scolding completely stunned Huang Zhen, looking down and thinking about it, Huang Zhen's eyes turned red, no wonder he didn't see the Turks for two days, it turned out that the avant-garde division had already detoured to the Baiyang River. Huang Zhen couldn't wait to slaughter Hou Junji with his own hands, and for a little selfishness, he actually sent more than 10,000 elites of the Tang Dynasty to the Turkic population.

"Major General, what now?"

"What to do? Since the Turks have come around from behind, do we still have a choice, it must be no fun to go south, whether we can break through the defense of the Turks, not to mention, can we outrun the Turkic cavalry on these two legs? ”

Fang Yiai knows very well how strong the avant-garde division is, and when the Alxa Prairie was chased, if it weren't for Dahale's rash attack on the enemy, it is estimated that someone in his house would have been dead. It is definitely not possible to go to the south, and it is even more useless to go north, the north is the Turkic hinterland, and it is estimated that it will not be able to run three hundred miles to the north, and it will be wiped out by the Turks. Not only where to run, first of all, to avoid confrontation with the avant-garde division, took the map and looked at it, Fang Yiai made a crazy decision, since the main Turkic force is in the Xiting Gorge, then the southern end of Wolf Mountain and Jinshan must be empty. Now, there is no choice, we must try to rush to Wolf Mountain, and then enter Jinshan through Wolf Mountain, and then attack the Turks north of Jinshan, and strive to kill Jinshan and join Li Ji's army in Juyanhai.

A quarter of an hour later, the news that the Turkic avant-garde division had entered the Tianshan Mountain Pass spread throughout the Xiting Gorge, and the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Guard were also panicked, not because they were afraid of death, but because they had died a little unjustly. They couldn't understand why they didn't get the news since the avant-garde division went around to the Baiyang River and then marched out of Alashan Pass.

Looking at the unwilling eyes of the soldiers, Fang Yiai was speechless, what else could he say at this moment, could it be said that the march of the avant-garde division was secret? Saying such things, even he himself couldn't believe it, how could the 20,000 cavalry troops be hidden in this land in the Western Regions? People can walk on mountain trails, deep in the dense forest, but horses can't, from Jinshan to Alashankou, there is only one line of Baiyang River, how can scouts not find it?

Standing on the boulder, Fang Yiai threw away the hat on his head, his face was solemn, and he raised his arms and roared, "Brothers, like you, Ben Jiang is not reconciled, Ben Jiang also wants to seek justice. However, at this moment, the first thing we need to do is how to live! ”

"Live? No, Major General, you give the order, since it has come to this point, let's fight with the Turks! ”

The soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Guards are crazy and confident, and they also know that it is not the fault of the major general that they have come to this point, and as soldiers, the first thing to do is to obey military orders. (To be continued.) )
