    Tilifushe Ashinaduoli received the news in the early morning that Tilifa Kangsheili and his five thousand fine cavalry were attacked by the Chinese people and the entire army was wiped out.

    The situation of the war has been overturned, and the Turks are in danger.  This was the result that Tlifushe least wanted to see and least want to admit, but now it has become a cruel reality.

    Holding the pain and anxiety, Lifu set up an urgent message to the inner city of Yun, and ordered the 50,000 control strings to be urgently adjusted to go south to the White Wolf Fortress. He must open up the way home for Shibi Khan and the main army at all costs.

    He also urgently wrote a letter to criticize Ji and set up Ashina Du Na, detailing the dramatic changes in the Daibei war situation.  Your interests are based on the overall interests of the Turks. If the overall interests of the Turks suffer an unprecedented blow, how can your interests be preserved?  At this moment of life and death for Turks, brothers should come together as one to speak out.  As an elder brother, Ashina Duli begged Ji to set up Ashina Dudu, attack Yanbei with all his strength, hold back the garrison of Yanbei Town at all costs, and create favorable conditions for our own army to conquer the White Wolf Fortress.

    Ashina Dusu repeatedly elaborated and analyzed the battle situation in the letter: Jin Jialan and his main force gathered in White Wolf Fortress, and they were determined to coexist with White Wolf Fortress. The next battle will be extremely difficult, but they will provide support to White Wolf Fortress.  Only Yanbei is the only one. If Chiji's southern army can capture Yanbei and cut off the back-up of the White Wolf Fortress, the war situation will definitely be favorable to the Turks.  Ashina Duli hoped that Chi Jishe could understand the situation of the Daibei war and do his best to complete the strategic goal of the Turkic army's safe withdrawal from China.

    Ashina hurriedly wrote a letter to Princess Ke Dun Yicheng, detailing the crisis of the current war situation.  Although Shibi Khan and the Yazhang radical forces who supported him were defeated in China, it was very conducive to the political advantage of the Yazhang conservative forces such as Kehe Dun and Dayehu, but the premise was that the Turkic army could not be defeated, and the Turkic army could not be defeated.  Let the Yazhang collapse, let alone let the great alliance of desert barbarians fall apart.  However, the current situation is developing in the worst direction. This trend is extremely detrimental to the overall interests of the Turks. For this reason, Ashina Duli can only seek help from the conservative forces in Yazhang.  We implore them to put the overall situation first and the future of the Turkic people first, and work together to overcome the difficulties.

    Ashina Dusu also urgently sent letters to garrison the northern barbarian army stationed at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and Dingxiang County.  The task of this army is to protect the other flank of the Daibei battlefield, monitor and defend the Central-Turk Northwest Army in the Lingshuo area.  Be prepared for your own army to be attacked by this army during the decisive battle.  The strength of the Central-Earth Northwest Army is well known.  The main force of China's many expeditions into the desert was the Northwest Army. In comparison, the Daibei Army posed less of a threat to the Beibei Army, so the Beibei Army shouldered a heavy task.  But Ashina Duli couldn't care about that much anymore.  He ordered the commander-in-chief of this army to immediately mobilize half of his troops, about 20,000, to control the strings and enter Yunnei City, so that he could mobilize another 20,000 troops from Yunnei to go south for rescue.

    Ashina Duoli also sent a special envoy over the mountains and ridges to bypass the White Wolf Fortress, and rushed to Shanyang City day and night. He asked the Shanyang City garrison to mobilize more troops to attack the White Wolf Fortress, forming a pincer attack with him.  Another mission of this special envoy is to rush to the Yanmen front line as quickly as possible.  Present a secret letter from Ashina Duli urging the withdrawal of troops to Shibi Khan.

    After doing all this, Ashina Duli was already very tired, but he forced himself to convene a military meeting and asked all armies to continue the attack that afternoon, but this time more troops were invested to ensure the safety of the main attacking force.  .

    On the afternoon of August 25, Ashina Duli dragged his injured body to the front line to direct the operations.

    On the same day, Kang Sheoli and the remaining troops fled to Sangbeikou, about 80 miles away from Bailangsai.

    Kang Sheoli was extremely depressed.  This near-annihilation of the entire army completely destroyed his remaining confidence in the decisive battle between the North and the South.

    The White Wolf Fortress was recaptured by the Chinese, and the town of Sangqian was also recaptured by the Chinese. The Turkic army that went south was cut into three parts by the Chinese. If the Juzhu Fortress was also recaptured by the Chinese, then it is certain.  Unless a miracle occurs, Shibi Khan and his main army will be defeated.  This is a big trap and a big strategy set by the Chinese people. Today it has revealed its ferocious and terrifying true face.

    Kang Sheoli deduced the battle situation more deeply.  The more I felt, the more powerless and helpless I felt being tied up by layers of ropes.  The only advantage the Turks currently have is their large number of people, with more than 300,000 people under their control.  There are hundreds of thousands of people on the Yanmen battlefield alone, but the funny thing is that the large number of people is the biggest advantage of Middle-earth. It is a joke to have more people than Middle-earth. It is too absurd.  There are many other advantages in Central China, including the advantage of terrain, the advantage of peace with people, and the huge advantage of fighting on the mainland. No matter how you calculate this battle, the Turks have no chance of winning.  Kang Sheoli really wanted to question Shibi Khan and the determined militants in the tent: Why do you think you can win this battle?

    The matter has come to this, and there is no point in complaining. This battle must continue to be fought.  Kang Sheoli urgently wrote to Shan Yang and mobilized the main force to attack Bailangsai.  As for the direction of Sangqian Town, considering the importance of Juzhu Fortress to Shibi Khan and the main army, the possibility of losing itIt's almost trivial.  As long as the Juzhu Fortress is not lost, Shibi Khan and the main army can withdraw to the Daibei battlefield at any time. At that time, the Chinese who attack the front line between Sangqian and Juzhu will have no choice but to avoid their attack and retreat into Loufan Pass. In this way, Sangqian will be defeated.  Solve the danger by yourself.

    Therefore, Kang Sheoli ordered the Shanyang garrison to send only a few troops to maintain a confrontation with the Chinese people in Sangqian Town across the Huanghua River.  If the Chinese people don't take the initiative to fight, why should we take the initiative?  The purpose of the Chinese people is just to surround Shibi Khan, but we urgently need Shibi Khan to withdraw his troops. The deployment of both sides complements each other and has the same effect but similar approaches.

    On August 25, at the battlefield of Sangqianzhen, Wu Yalang general Zhang Lun led three thousand generations of Beierlang to fight to the death to block the attack of the northern captives.  At the Juzhu Fortress, Wang Rengong, the prefect of Mayi, commanded the main force of Daibei to attack the fortress in a bloody battle. The battle was very fierce.

    On August 25th, at the Yanmen battlefield, Khan and Mohedushe were still the warlords attacking fiercely at the beginning, while the emperor was sitting on the tower, commanding calmly, and even had the leisure to play chess with Pei Shiju, the minister of Huangmen.

    On August 25, Qijin Kangsumi followed the order of Shibi Khan and while continuing to attack Naocheng, he mobilized the main force to attack Mount Naoshan.

    The Second Xiaoguo Army holding Wu'ao Mountain held on tenaciously, but the defense line at Mount Wu was built temporarily and was not strong. In addition, the Second Xiaoguo Army was exhausted from continuous battles and suffered heavy losses. However, the Beilu troops were attacking like a wave.  The defense line is in danger.

    At the critical moment, Taiyuan reinforcements finally arrived.  At noon on the afternoon of August 25, General Yun Dingxing of Zuotunwei arrived at the battlefield of Guoshan with 20,000 reinforcements.

    During this period, Yun Dingxing¡¯s days were like years and he was miserable.  Since the emperor went north to patrol the fortress at the beginning of this month, he had tried every means to recruit troops. However, Shanxi and Hedong Yingyang either made excuses and were delayed in arriving, or they were perfunctory and sent out old and weak soldiers to make up for the numbers.  Fortunately, Tang Guogong Li Yuan, the ambassador to Shanxi and Hedong, obeyed the imperial edict and sent his second son Li Shimin and several generals under his command to rush to Taiyuan with 15,000 troops day and night, which saved Yun Dingxing's emergency.

    But among the 15,000 soldiers sent by Li Yuan, less than one-third were government soldiers, and more than 10,000 of them were Hedong rebels who had just surrendered or been captured.  Li Yuan was unwilling to kill bloody people and suppressed them brutally. In desperation, he reorganized on the spot and rushed to the Daibei battlefield, which could be regarded as "killing two birds with one stone".  In fact, no matter what the mentality of these rebel soldiers is now, as long as they arrive at the Daibei battlefield and see the invading Beibei soldiers, they will definitely fight bloody battles to protect their homes and country.  The Northern Barbarians have been the enemies of the Chinese people for generations. When they meet the enemy, of course they will fight to the death without any regard for their own safety.

    However, having courage and morale does not mean that it has the combat effectiveness to defeat the Northern Lu. The force of this army is actually not worth looking forward to, but Yun Dingxing can no longer care about these details.

    On the 14th, he received the news that the emperor was trapped in Yanmen, and he almost didn't grow old overnight.  What could he do to rescue the emperor if he had no soldiers?  But he delayed rescuing the emperor in Taiyuan, which would definitely lead to death.  At this time, Tang Guogong Li Yuan was his savior, and Li Shimin, who represented Li Yuan's journey to the north, was the "fatal judge" who controlled his life and death. If Li Shimin deliberately made things difficult for him and delayed his journey north, he would not be able to find a place to cry.  Fortunately, Li Shimin was very cooperative. When he learned that the emperor was trapped in Yanmen, he immediately led the army to march day and night and arrived at Jinyang City, the capital of Taiyuan, on the 22nd.

    Yun Dingxing personally went out of the city to greet him. On the 23rd, which was the tenth day after the emperor was besieged Yanmen, he finally led reinforcements and set off from Jinyang City.

    The governor of Yun Dingxing marched in a hurry and completed the journey of more than 300 miles in more than two days.  Just as the Naoshan defense line was crumbling, Taiyuan reinforcements arrived at the Naoshan battlefield.  Yun Dingxing and the soldiers rushed forward without waiting to take a breath, fought bravely, and re-stabilized the defense line.

    Seeing the arrival of the Chinese and Turkish reinforcements with his own eyes, Kang Sumi felt very uneasy. While reporting to Shibi Khan, he also hurriedly gathered the troops at the border and ordered them to withdraw quickly.

    In Kangsumi¡¯s view, the Turks have lost their best chance of winning this decisive battle.  The Turks' best chance of winning the war was to capture Yanmen and capture the emperor before the Chinese reinforcements arrived on the battlefield.  Now that the Chinese and Turkish reinforcements have arrived, follow-up reinforcements will inevitably come in a steady stream. The Turks will definitely not be able to stop the fierce attack of the Chinese and Turkish troops. Therefore, Shibi Khan had to face the reality, had to order the withdrawal of the troops, and had to spit it out.  prey.  And he may evacuate the Guoshan battlefield at any time. As soon as the main force leaves, the army attacking Loufangguan will be surrounded by the Chinese people. They will surely die, but they are all members of the Kangsumi tribe and must not be abandoned.

    Kang Sumi here is shaken in confidence, looking forward and backward, and has no attack power, while Yun Dingxing over there is also anxious and frowning.  With the troops he currently has, he cannot attack Yanmen. If he attacks Yanmen forcefully, he may be defeated by the Beilu people. After all, half of the soldiers in the reinforcements are newly recruited rebels. If he turns around during a fierce battle,  Run, and the entire Guoshan defense line will be destroyed.??.

    Yun Dingxing did not dare to attack, and Li Shimin had no intention of actively attacking. He was also worried that his army was in danger of collapse, but the situation was here, so he did not attack and allowed the emperor to suffer the blows of the Northern invaders in Yanmen.  In the future, "the reckoning after the fall" will be unbearable for everyone, especially Tang Guogong Li Yuan, who will bear an even greater crisis.  Li Shimin thought about it and proposed a "suspecting strategy" to Yun Dingxing.
