At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 320
These four routes were drawn up by Zhang Xutuo after careful examination of the intelligence information provided by the Geography Department and the Intelligence Department.

Get the most out of it!
The lord only gave them three days.

three days later.

All armies.

We must return to the places where we are stationed!

"Subordinates take orders!"

After clarifying their responsibilities, the four took orders and left.

……

midnight.

More than [-] troops began to light fires and cook.

When it was an hour away from Zishi...

Then eat and drink enough, start to rest, and prepare for the battle that may last for the next day!

They only have this full meal!
In this meal, there was a lot of pork that made them drool, and they were all full.

of course.

They also dare not eat too much.

After all next...

They also have high-intensity battles.

It's approaching midnight.

Outside Lu Hun City.

With an earth-shattering noise, the gate of Lu Hun City burst open.

The whole army set off a prelude to the counter-offensive.

Taking advantage of the night...

The Henan army rushed in.

It only took less than an hour.

Then took over the entire city!

at the same time……

Zhang Xutuo sits in Luhun City.

Four armies, a total of 20, entered the hinterland of Taiyuan vigorously.

On the upper floor of Lu Huncheng.

Xu Mu and Zhang Xutuo stood side by side, holding binoculars to look at the four leaving armies in the distance.

Even he was a little excited at this moment.

"Old Zhang, who do you think can reach Jinyang City first?"

Xu Mu put away the binoculars and looked at Zhang Xutuo.

Although he didn't say so.

But he felt that these four people must be holding their breath in their hearts and want to be the first to reach Jinyang City.

Hearing this, Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but analyze: "Xu Shiji has been with the lord the longest, he has won the master's art of war, and has the most combat experience, or the first."

"Su Dingfang is an ordinary person, but he can stand out from the Whampoa Military Academy. He is extraordinary, or second."

He only briefly commented on the top two.

As for Pei Xingyan and Shan Xiongxin...

The third No.4, no evaluation worth mentioning.

Xu Mu nodded.

have to say.

Lao Zhang deserves to be the last famous general before the fall of the Sui Dynasty.

The vision is indeed unique.

It is not difficult to recognize Xu Shiji's talent.

After all, Xu Shiji had many victories in Henan County before.

But Su Dingfang...

Silent.

From the outside it looks.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

But Lao Zhang didn't judge people by their appearance, and directly set him as the second.

You know, Su Dingfang was a late bloomer, and no one recognized his talent before he became famous.

Then, Xu Mu suddenly said: "The first and the second are indeed decided between these two, but my opinion is different. Xu Shiji's military skills are outstanding, but..."

He stared into the distance and sighed softly.

Su Dingfang's adoptive father...

But died in the hands of the Turks.

There is this bonus.

He believed that Su Dingfang had a great possibility to be the first to reach Jinyang Palace.

after all……

The revenge of killing the father is not shared by the sky!

Such a rare opportunity, Su Dingfang will never let it go!
……

The next day.

The four-way battle report came from the front soon.

Xu Shiji has gone to two cities!
Su Dingfang also left two cities!

Shan Xiongxin and Pei Xingyan were slower and only took down one city!
This is the end.

In just one night.

Taiyuan County lost six cities.

One-third of the territory is lost!
As for the guarding Turkic soldiers...

Under Zhang Xutuo's order, kill them all, leaving no one behind!
Now is the critical moment of the counterattack.

They did not have much energy to recruit Turkic soldiers.

If you don't kill it, keeping it is a hidden danger after all!

So the four-way army...

All the way to kill, has been stained with the blood of Turkic soldiers!

During the night, all they heard was a loud bang.

And then on...

It was the sound of the city gate breaking down.

The siege had not even begun.

The battle is over.

The battle report from Taiyuan soon spread to Jinyang City.

In Jinyang Palace.

Shibi Khan turned pale with fright.

Hastily summoned the major tribes under his command to discuss the changes in the large-scale offensive in Henan.

"How did these people come here? At least 20 troops! Why did they all enter Taiyuan County overnight?"

Shibi Khan's face is very ugly now.

It wasn't just that he was dumbfounded.

The same is true of the leaders of the major tribes under his command.

None of them understand...

Obviously only Xu Shiji's [-] soldiers and horses.

But now, there are four soldiers and horses.

And overnight, Lu Hun City was broken.

And also captured their six cities!

One-third of Taiyuan's territory became the opponent's in an instant.

"Khan, they are nothing more than taking advantage of the night attack, taking advantage of our army's unpreparedness..."

A general of the Turkic Headquarters said in a deep voice: "The last general thinks that as long as we use the sharp weapon for defending the city given by the military adviser, we will be able to prevent their attack!"

As soon as this statement comes out...

Immediately won the approval of other generals.

"That's right, Great Khan, the reason why they were able to win six cities was the sneak attack!"

"If the defense equipment is used, Taiyuan will be like an iron barrel!"

All the soldiers, you speak to me.

At the end of the speech, Khan's mind moved.

When I think about it before...

They also lost several cities, and after using the defense equipment, they were safe...

Shibi Khan nodded and said: "Since this is the case, order the ministries to make good use of the defense equipment and guard the city!"

At the same time, he also began to send orders to the grassland ministries: "It seems that my Turkic cavalry has been silent for too long, and has been almost forgotten by the world! Send an order to mobilize [-] cavalry and rush south to help!"

He believes...

As long as his [-] cavalry come to kill.

The heroes of the Central Plains are nothing to be afraid of!

……

The battle continues.

Turkic ministries began to use defensive equipment to defend the city.

but……

A serious problem was soon discovered.

Their defense equipment, after using it twice...

It was scrapped directly.

They are all prairie men, and they didn't think about checking and accepting the things after receiving them.

This time in practice...

As a result, at dusk, another six cities were lost!
That's right, by the end of the day, Taiyuan County had lost twelve cities!
There are also two for Su Dingfang and two for Xu Shiji.

One for Shan Xiongxin and one for Pei Xingyan.

Shibi Khan turned pale with fright, his prairie army is still on the way...

Lost another six cities in just one day?

So far, two-thirds of the territory of Taiyuan County has been lost!

Jinyang Palace.

Those generals who defended the city did not have the consciousness of dying for the city at all after the city was broken.

He fled directly back to Jinyang Palace.

Kneeling in front of Shibi to plead guilty.

"Who said that the enemy can be defeated with the help of defensive equipment?"

However, Shibi's eyes were about to burst into flames.

"A group of mediocre people! Apart from Xu Shiji, you can't deal with the other generals??"

"Trash! It's all trash!"

"If Tumidu or Yinan were here, how could this be the case!"

At this time, he suddenly missed the two generals under his command.

It's a pity that these two people...

One by one, all betrayed him.

"Khan, it's not because we are incompetent, it's because the defense equipment can't be used."

In the end, some generals cried out, expressing that they were unwilling to take the blame.

Shibi Khan stared.

After venting...

He also calmed down: "Is the equipment broken?"

"That's right, Big Khan, for some reason, those instruments broke down after being used twice, and they can no longer be used!"

The defeated generals tell of their defeat...

They are all the same!
It's all because the equipment is broken!

Shibi Khan frowned, looked at Ling Qian, "Military Master, why is this?"

Ling Qian said calmly: "I think it's because the generals didn't use it according to the method, which made the equipment malfunction."

"However, the Luban survivors recently invented an artifact for city defense!"

When the building is about to fall...

Ling Qian gave Sibi hope again.

"This city defense device will never fail, it's just..."

Shibi Khan half-closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "But what?"

By this time...

He couldn't care less about it anymore.

"What conditions do they have, just mention it!"

Now his [-] cavalry are still on their way south.

He originally thought that the frontline soldiers would last until his iron cavalry arrived.

But now it seems...

Up to tomorrow.

They will kill outside Jinyang City!
This time he went south and invaded Taiyuan without bringing too many troops.

Most of the troops belonged to the Xue Yantuo and Huihe tribes.

And as soon as these two are gone...

15 troops went straight away!
He has [-] to [-] troops left, which cannot withstand such a fierce attack from the enemy!

"No matter what conditions they have, agree to them first and buy [-] pieces of defense equipment!"

Shibi Khan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Ling Qian lowered his head, pretending to be sad and indignant: "These lions of the Luban survivors opened their mouths loudly, knowing that our army is in trouble, they actually made trouble, saying that one piece of equipment will return a thousand horses!"

The voice fell.

Inside the main hall of Jinyang Palace.

Everyone suspected that they heard it wrong.

"A thousand horses?"

Even the rich and powerful Shibi...

He couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.

He thought he would open his mouth like a lion...

So during the peace talks, the price of 30 pieces of cloth and [-] guan was directly called out.

but now……

Only then did he realize that he was still too embarrassing.

"impossible!"

Even if the situation was on the verge of danger, Shibi Khan did not agree.

One piece of equipment, in exchange for five hundred war horses...

Simply robbery!

Ling Qian also pretended to be resentful and said: "This subordinate also told them so, but they are determined not to let go..."

Shibi Khan gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes full of hatred: "What a Luban bequeather who has fallen into trouble! When Ben Khan dominates the world in the future, he will be beheaded by this Luban beheaded family, and the nine clans will be punished!"

This time...

He still failed to win the support of the Luban survivors.

Actually.

At this time, Wanmin City no longer needed to find Shibi to "trade" war horses.

It has been decided to overthrow the Turks, when the time comes, all war horses...

All will belong to Wanmin City!
The reason why Ling Qian said this was just to alleviate Shibi Khan's suspicion of him.

Inside the hall.

When everyone was at a loss.

Ling Qian waved the cattail fan, opened his mouth quietly, and offered another "plan to defeat the enemy".
