    August 26, Mount Laoshan.

    Kang Sumi received a reply from Shibi Khan.  Shibi Khan believed that it was normal for the Chinese and Turkish reinforcements to appear on the Naoshan battlefield. It would be abnormal if they did not appear for a long time.  The appearance of the Chinese and Turkish reinforcements answered several doubtful and worrying questions for the Turks.

    It has been thirteen days since the Turks crossed Juzhu Mountain and surrounded Yanmen City.  The closest reinforcements from China and Turkey to the Yanmen battlefield are Jinyang City, the capital of Taiyuan County, which is more than 300 miles away. However, for the past thirteen days, reinforcements from the direction of Taiyuan have not appeared.  This made the Turks very nervous, worried that this team would be ambushing near Yanmen City, so that the Turks did not dare to devote all their strength to the battle against Yanmen, and always kept a reserve army in case of any eventuality.  In addition, the sudden attack of the Chinese army from the direction of Loufanguan also made the Turks suspect that Chinese reinforcements had arrived on the battlefield, or that the Chinese had originally hidden an army within Loufanguan for the purpose of attacking Yan  The Turks encircled the battlefield.

    However, it turns out that these speculations by the Turks were wrong and they overestimated the strength of the Central Turks. In fact, the Central Turks' garrison strength in northern Xinjiang was as good as the information the Turks obtained before launching the war.  The same, very weak, no longer able to resist the Turks' attack.

    The reinforcements from the direction of Taiyuan in China have only arrived at the Naoshan battlefield so far. This can only mean one thing. The garrison force in northern Xinjiang in China is not very weak, but simply vulnerable. This is also the reason why the emperor of China learned that the Turks were about to launch an attack.  At the time of the war, he resolutely went to northern Xinjiang to patrol the fortress and stayed there for several months.  He tried to deceive the Turks and cover up the serious shortage of garrison strength in northern Xinjiang.  In the end, the truth was exposed. Not only was the emperor of Middle-earth unable to convert his personal influence into the force of a hundred thousand troops, not only was he unable to cover up the truth about the "violent and cruel" nature of Middle-earth, but he shot himself in the foot and pushed himself forward.  The abyss of ruin and disgrace has also put the northern frontier of China in a desperate situation.

    In addition, this also shows that the Chinese army that suddenly came out from the direction of Loufangguan was the remnant army of Daibei that was defeated thousands of miles away.  On the one hand, its purpose was to support the Yanmen battlefield, and on the other hand, it was an attempt to mislead the Turks, causing them to misinterpret the battle situation, make wrong judgments, and voluntarily evacuate the Yanmen battlefield.

    Let¡¯s analyze this.  It is not difficult to clear away the fog that shrouds the battlefield.  See the entire battle clearly.  Under the premise that China's national strength has been exhausted due to annual battles, and that the garrison force in the northern frontier of China is seriously insufficient, whether it is the Yanbei army attacking Bailangsai behind the main Turkic army, or the Yanbei army that also fought at the beginning and end  The remnants of Daibei's army attacked Juzhu Fortress behind the Khan's back.  In fact, they are not enough to affect the development of the war situation, and they are unable to achieve the purpose of misleading the Turks and forcing them to evacuate the Yanmen battlefield. What can really affect the outcome of the decisive battle between the north and the south is the massive support from the two capitals in the hinterland of China.  elite army, but this army is too far away from the battlefield.  Even if they travel day and night, it will still take some time to reach the battlefield.  Therefore, the Turks still had enough time to use all their strength to attack Yanmen and capture the Emperor of China, winning the decisive battle between the north and the south.

    Kang Sumi keenly sensed a hint of crisis from Shibi Khan's reply. This crisis did not come from the Chinese reinforcements, but from Shibi Khan and the Yazhang dignitaries who supported him and were fighting crazily on the battlefield of Yanmen City.  They have reached a level of "obsession" with the strategic goals they have formulated and the bright prospects they have drawn from them, and they seem to be getting deeper and deeper into the dreams they have spun.

    I hope this is not my illusion.  Kang Sumi comforted herself in this way.  In fact, he is also a staunch militant.  However, he recognized the strength of China and believed that the Civil War needed to adopt a gradual approach to gradually realize its strategic goals, so that it could not only continue to consume China's strength, but also ensure that it would not collapse due to falling into the quagmire of war.

    ??In fact, from his perspective, this war has achieved its expected goals.  It not only demonstrated the powerful force of the Turks, but also brought abundant plunder. It strengthened Shibi Khan's control over the Yazhang and the Grand Alliance politically and militarily, and at the same time dealt a heavy blow to the arrogant Central Turks.  He severely insulted the self-esteem of the Chinese people, and then tempted the Chinese people to save their own face.  They had to go north for expeditions again and again, and this allowed the Turks to always take the initiative in the future Civil War between the South and the North, making the situation between the north and the south develop in a direction that was beneficial to the Turks.  Therefore, this battle can be over, and the Turks can evacuate. Hundreds of thousands of control strings are roaring in and roaring away, fighting vertically and horizontally. Those who stand in their way are invincible. At the end of the day, Khan and this generation of Turks will all be affected by this glorious war.  Victory and go down in history.

    But he could only think about it, he was powerless to change the decision of Shibi Khan and the powerful people around him.  So at noon on the 26th, Kang Sumi commanded the army to launch another attack on Mount Naoshan. However, what surprised him was that his scouts once again saw a large number of Chinese and Turkish reinforcements arriving at Mount Naoshan and quickly appeared on the frontline battlefield.  On the top, all kinds of colors are floatingThe number of flags flying continued to increase among the mountains, spreading to both sides of the defense line.

    Kang Sumi decisively stopped the attack and reported to Shibi Khan.

    On the same day, at the Yanmen battlefield, Shibi Khan commanded the army to launch an attack with all his strength. The battle reached another climax, and the fighting between the two sides became increasingly bloody and cruel.

    Pei Shiju, Yu Wenshu, Lai Huer and other military and political officials were overjoyed.  The fact that Beilu devoted all its strength to attack is enough to show that the battle situation has changed. Judging from the time, reinforcements from the direction of Taiyuan should have arrived and are attacking Yanmen, and Yanbei army commander Jialan and his army should also have captured Bailang.  The fortress or Yunnei City has cut off the retreat route of the Beibei army and has posed a fatal threat to the Beibei army.  The development of the war situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Beilu. As a result, Beilu has no choice but to make every effort to make a last stand.

    The emperor¡¯s analysis and judgment of the war situation were basically consistent with those of several important ministers.  His depressed mood was thus cheered and excited.  The development of the war situation showed that no one abandoned the emperor, and no one ignored the safety of China. Everyone was fighting hard and following the emperor's edict to kill the enemy bravely. And this war always followed the strategic trajectory planned by the emperor.  Make a determined and powerful push forward.  Although the situation in Yanmen was extremely critical and extremely bad, it was precisely because Shibi Khan and his main army were firmly restrained on the Yanmen battlefield that the entire decisive battle situation was developing in a direction that was beneficial to China.

    Victory is close at hand and within easy reach, so the soldiers and civilians of Yanmen need to work together and fight bloody battles.

    The emperor was full of energy and excited, patrolling every corner of the Yanmen battlefield, encouraging the soldiers and civilians to persevere, and vowed that within half a month, the imperial guard army would gather under the city and kill all the northern rebels outside the city.  Absolutely.

    The soldiers and civilians of Yanmen City can see the confident emperor fighting on the front line every day, and hear the powerful emperor waving his arms and giving impassioned speeches every day. Everyone in Yanmen City can be kind and friendly.  They clearly felt that the once aloof and mysterious emperor was beside them. Everyone could see with their own eyes a real person who looked just like them and ate the same corn. They laughed, were angry, were sad, and shared with them.  They were as brave and fearless as the emperor who fought fiercely with the northern barbarians, so their morale was unprecedentedly high from beginning to end, and everyone was willing to fight and die for the emperor.

    Wherever the emperor went, there were earth-shaking cheers, and soldiers and civilians rushed to be the first to fight to the death.  This emotion deeply infected the emperor and the officials around him.  The emperor regained his confidence from the cheers of the soldiers and the people. On the Yanmen battlefield, where the emperor and his ministers, the emperor and the people worked together, shared joys and sorrows, life and death, he once again saw his past. He seemed to have traveled through time and space and returned to the Southern Expedition.  In his military career during the Northern War to unify China, he saw the heroism of his youth in inspiring writing, criticizing Fang Qiu, and guiding the country. He also saw his perseverance in fighting bloody battles for the unification of China and the well-being of millions of people in China.  and courage.

    Yes, that is indeed courage. The courage that has been lost for a long time seems to have been lost in the desire for power.  The emperor suddenly had an epiphany, an unprecedented epiphany about life, about power and wealth, about the future of the empire and Middle-earth.  People can't live without persistence, but they can't live without courage. If they lose their courage, the boiling blood in their bodies becomes cold, and they don't dare to break their bodies for their ideals, and they don't dare to shed their blood for the future, then that person is like a dying animal.  What's the point of living in this world?

    ¡°For the sake of Middle-earth and the empire, we will fight to the death!¡±

    The emperor stood on the city tower, standing among the bloody soldiers and sweating civilians, raising his arms high and cheering again and again.

    With unprecedented loyalty and unprecedented courage, the soldiers and civilians of Yanmen City cheered and fought with the emperor, vowing to live and die with the emperor and Yanmen City.

    On the same day, at Juzhu Fortress, the Turks gathered 40,000 soldiers, suddenly broke out of the pass, and launched a fierce counterattack against the Daibei Army.

    Wang Rengong was well prepared, fighting and leaving, and evacuated calmly.  He also urgently informed Zhang Lun, the general of Wu Yalang in Sangqian Town, to rendezvous with the main force as soon as possible and withdraw to Loufan Pass.

    The battle situation changed again. The main force of the Northern Barbarians who besieged Yanmen City suddenly divided their forces to counterattack, and restored the connection with Shanyang City at all costs. Does this mean that Shibi Khan and his army will evacuate Yanmen City?  ?  Wang Rengong was not sure, but what worried him was that he received an urgent report from Loufangguan, saying that a Beibei army was coming from the direction of Mount Laoshan. It seemed that the Beibei had the intention to attack Loufanguan from both front and rear.

    Wang Rengong chose to withdraw to Loufanguan and hold on.  He was full of anger at the delay in the arrival of reinforcements from Taiyuan.  If Guoshan is lost, Loufan Pass will be in danger. If Loufan Pass is lost again, the war situation will inevitably take a turn for the worse and there will be no possibility of reversal.

    The counterattack of Beilu was very resolute and the attack speed was very fast.They chased Wang Rengong all the way and beat him fiercely.

    On the night of the 26th, Wang Rengong and Zhang Lun led their troops back to Loufan Pass.

    That night, they received an urgent report from the scouts. The Beili army that came to attack Loufan Pass was only sixty miles away from the pass.

    Lou Fanguan was in a critical situation and was caught in a pincer attack from the north and south by the northern captives.
