Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the night of the eighth day of September, Shibi Khan summoned Mohe Dusha and other army commanders to discuss the withdrawal of troops again.

    Shibi Khan's determination has been shaken.  The fierce battle to attack Yanmen City has lasted for twenty-five days. More than 100,000 soldiers fought bloody battles. They repeatedly saw hope of capture, but fell short time and time again. They were never able to enter the city and deliver a fatal blow to the Chinese people.  The Turks paid a heavy price for this, but Yanmen City has always stood tall even though it was crumbling. Although it was also scarred, it persisted tenaciously. It used its indestructible faith to tenaciously support its bleeding body. It used  The imperial banner fluttering on the city tower encouraged his soldiers and laughed at the Turks.  The courage and morale of the Turks have been exhausted by the piles of corpses. They are replaced by fear of China, longing for home, and tiredness of fighting.

    The Yanmen battlefield is a trap and cannot be fought again.  This is the warning that Tilifushe Ashinaduoli and Tilifa Kangsheuli have issued again and again to Shibi Khan and the commanders of the armies on the Yanmen battlefield. Now, this warning is changing.  It became a nightmare, allowing the Turks to experience the horror of nightmares.

    Mohe Dushe Ashina Dubi Si was very angry. He questioned Ashina Duli and Kang Sheoli. You successively invested 80,000 troops on the Bailangsai battlefield and attacked continuously for more than half a month.  Not only did we fail to capture the White Wolf Fort, but we suffered heavy losses, making the war situation increasingly unfavorable to us. What is the reason?  Why didn't you capture Bailangsai?  Is the White Wolf Fortress as strong as Yanmen City?  Could it be that the defenders of the White Wolf Fortress are the emperor of the empire and his imperial guards?  Devil Jialan and his improvised Yanbei Army miraculously defended the White Wolf Pass even though they were seriously short of troops and faced enemies from both sides.  Are they protected by gods?

    Ash's aggressive roar aroused the anger stagnating in the hearts of the military commanders.  Everyone almost unanimously "crusted" Ashina Duli and Kang Sheoli.  Your own incompetence led to the reversal of the war situation, but you put the responsibility on us, forcing us to evacuate Yanmen, and asking us to capture the White Wolf Fortress for you. This is unreasonable.

    There are also a few dignitaries who maintain their rationality and stand in front of the map to analyze and deduce the battle situation.  Devil Jialan and Yanbei's army entered Daibei and captured Bailang fortress.  After the Bailangsai battlefield was opened, it echoed the Yanmen battlefield, and the formation of this battle gave the Chinese people a chance to defeat the Turks.  Then, the Youzhou Army, Beiping Army, Liaoxi Army, and Liaodong Army on the Northeast Road entered Yanbei in sequence. While ensuring the safety of Yanbei, they transferred the main force into Daibei and entered the Bailangsai battlefield.  Formed a decisive battle with the Turks.  At the same time, the main force of the Guard Army in the Gyeonggi region of China will head north to King Qin as quickly as possible. Judging from the time, they will arrive on the battlefield soon.  In this way, the Chinese people completed the deployment of a north-south pincer attack on the Turks, and a decisive battle between the north and the south was inevitable.

    If this analysis and deduction are correct.  Then the Turks must immediately evacuate Yanmen, take the lead in entering the White Wolf Fortress battlefield before the main force of the Guards Army in the Gyeonggi region of China has arrived at the decisive battlefield, and deal a devastating blow to the imperial army holding White Wolf Fortress, completely destroying it.  The deployment of the Central-Turkish people to attack from the north and the south.  In this way, the Turks once again reversed the situation of the war, not only advancing, but also attacking, retreating and defending.  Having won the initiative on the battlefield, they can also gather all their forces for a decisive battle with the main force of the Imperial Gyeonggi Guard Army pursuing them from the north at White Wolf Fortress.

    If the Central Turks dare not fight a decisive battle, then the Turks have achieved brilliant results. After destroying the main force of the Imperial Northern Army and the Northeastern garrison, the defensive forces in the northern frontier of Central Turkey have been basically lost. The Turks can completely  Daibei stood firm, actually controlled this area, and posed a direct threat to the empire's Northeast, Hebei and even the Gyeonggi region.

    Therefore, the Central Turks must fight a decisive battle, but the main force of the imperial Gyeonggi Guard Army came after a long journey, the soldiers were tired, and the north-south pincer attack deployment failed. The main force of the Northeast Road was destroyed, morale was low, and the military morale was sluggish. On the contrary, the Turks' morale was high.  And if you wait for work at leisure, you will surely win this decisive battle.

    Capturing Yanmen and capturing the emperor is a victory, and destroying the imperial army on the Bailang Fortress battlefield is also a victory. So which strategy is better?  Is it more conducive for the Turks to win this decisive battle?  Is it more in line with the interests of the Turks?  There is no doubt that the second choice is correct. Capture the White Wolf Fortress as quickly as possible, reverse the situation of the war, and first ensure that the Turks are in an invincible position, capable of both offense and defense, and can advance and retreat freely. This is the best strategy.

    Commanders with different opinions argued fiercely.

    One side, represented by Mo Hedushe, was determined not to spit out the prey in his mouth and insisted on continuing to attack Yanmen City. They would rather put the survival of the Turks in danger and carry out the gamble to the end.

    One side is represented by Shibi Khan, who is willing to spit out the prey in his mouth immediately, quickly evacuate Yanmen and enter the battlefield of Bailangsai, then open his bloody mouth and swallow the imperial army of Bailangsai in one gulp, filling his stomach first  , first get yourself out of danger and in a safe position, and then seize the opportunity according to the development of the battle situation and work hard.?Strive to achieve greater results and achieve more strategic goals to the greatest extent possible.

    On the night of September 8th, Youwuwei General Li Jing and Wu Benlang General Luo Yi led 15,000 Peiping soldiers to Bailangsai, and under the cover of darkness, they rapidly advanced along the Sanggan River towards Shenwu River.

    In order to ensure that the Peiping Army arrived safely at Shenwuchuan and completed the construction of defensive formations overnight, Jialan assembled ten Yingyang Mansion at Huanghuadui and Jinshatan, and launched a counterattack against Beili in the middle of the night.

    The abnormal behavior of the imperial army aroused Kang Sheoli's vigilance. While commanding the troops under his command to fight hard, he sent more scouts to inquire around to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the imperial army again.

    In the early morning of September 9th, Zilifa Kangshouli received an urgent report from the scouts. An imperial army appeared in Shenwu River, forming an attack posture on the flanks of his own army, and formed a pincer with the imperial defenders at Bailangsai.  Defense, the battle situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to our side.

    Kang Sheoli's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and he immediately reported to Li Fushu Ashina.  The imperial army has entered the Bailangsai battlefield in batches. Its defensive posture has expanded from a key pass in Bailangsai to an area of ??dozens of miles along the Sanggan River. While it has completely blocked the northward retreat of its main army, it has also basically blocked the retreat of its main army to the north.  The preliminary arrangements for the decisive battle between the two armies have been completed, and the decisive battle is inevitable.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????? All the urgent news of Kang Shen Li¡¯s 100,000 pieces has been sent to Khan.  The Central Turks are constantly increasing their troops at the White Wolf Fortress, and the war situation is rapidly developing towards a decisive battle. However, it is difficult to achieve anything on the Yanmen battlefield. It can be foreseen that the Central Turks' army heading north will soon arrive at Yanmen to complete the north-south attack on our own army.  The deployment of a pincer attack, and until then the main force of one's side withdraws from Yanmen, will inevitably miss the last chance to reverse the situation of the war.  For this reason, Kang Sheoli implored Khan Shibi to evacuate Yanmen immediately, and while the reinforcements from the north of the Central Plains had not yet arrived at Yanmen, he quickly entered the battlefield of Bailang Fortress, captured the White Wolf Fortress, and destroyed the North-South attack plan of the Central Turks.  , firmly grasping the initiative of the decisive battle in his own hands.

    On the ninth day of the lunar month, fierce fighting was still taking place on the Yanmen battlefield, and the Turks were fighting extremely wildly. But looking at the entire battlefield, the Turks' crazy attack showed an almost hysterical morbid mentality.

    Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er, Zhao Cai and other imperial commanders were keenly aware of the Turks' anomalies, and immediately concluded that the Turks could no longer hold on and were about to withdraw. Victory was at hand.

    After hearing the news, the emperor, together with Pei Shiju, Su Wei and other central officials, immediately climbed onto the tower to observe carefully. Although he was not sure whether the Turks would evacuate immediately, the joy in his heart was still uncontrollable.  The emperor's psychology may have been a little morbid under the heavy pressure. He ordered almost without thinking, telling the soldiers and civilians in the city that the Northern prisoners were about to escape, we were about to win, and we were about to launch a counterattack.

    No one dares to stop the emperor. Besides, Yanmen City is exhausted at this moment. The soldiers and civilians need morale, courage, and hope.  If the emperor wants to be "crazy", then let him be crazy.

    On the ninth day of the lunar month, Bailang blocked the battlefield, and before Lifushu Ashina Duli received reinforcements, 20,000 reinforcements from Yunnei City arrived at the battlefield.

    On the Bailangsai battlefield, the Bailu army increased to more than 100,000 people, and the imperial army also increased to 50,000 people.

    Ashina Duoli and Kang Sheoli had no choice but to attack, attack crazily, so the entire White Wolf Sea battlefield, from Efeokou, Efeushui, Huanghuadui, Golden Beach to Shenwuchuan, within dozens of miles,  Both the northern and southern defense lines were locked in fierce fighting.

    At dusk on the ninth day of the lunar month, Li Yuan, the consolation ambassador from Shanxi and Hedong, led a main force of 10,000 from Hedong to Jinyang City, the capital of Taiyuan.  The army came with light equipment and simple equipment, traveling day and night. It was in urgent need of repairs, and it was even more in urgent need of supplements of food, grass and weapons.

    On the same day, King Yang Tong of Yue led 50,000 Dongdu reinforcements to march rapidly in Taiyuan County, still one day away from Jinyang City.

    On the same day, Yang Yichen, the general and Qin Xinggong, led 30,000 Xijing reinforcements to Pingyao, Xihe. His selected vanguard army had entered Qi County, Taiyuan County, and was still two days away from Jinyang City.

    On the same day, Yang Gongren, the Duke of Guanguo who stayed behind in Liaodong, led 10,000 Liaodong Army and 5,000 Liaoxi Army to replenish food and grass in Jicheng, the capital of Zhuo County, and quickly advanced towards Yanbei without stopping.

    On the same day, the battle on the front line of the Yanbei Great Wall had become "peaceful", and Chijishe had no desire to attack anymore. Based on the various information he had obtained, he deduced that Shibi Khan and the northern barbarian army led by him were bound to be defeated.  , at this time, while maintaining a "tacit understanding" of fighting with the imperial army, he was actively negotiating with the empire. At the same time, he focused his main energy on the changes in the situation in the desert in order to respond at any time to a series of political storms that were about to break out in Yazhang.

    On the same day, fierce fighting was still taking place on the Yanmen battlefield, but the Turks were already in decline, and many troops had lost their offensive spirit.

    On the same day, Kang Sumi received the order from Shibi Khan to evacuate Naoshan and concentrated the troops on the battlefield of Naocheng. There were signs of evacuation in every word.

    On the same dayThe Beibei army, which was currently fighting fiercely with the Imperial Northern Army in Sangqian Town and Loufan Pass, also received orders from Shibi Khan to push the Chinese back to Loufan Pass at all costs to ensure that Shanyang and Sang  Qian and sentences focus on front-line safety.

    The situation in the war is about to change dramatically.
