Chapter 457

(Thank you for the headache, you are very grateful for your strong support from the truth of history, thank you very much!)

After raiding the three thousand Turkic troops on the east bank of the Yang River, Li Jing quickly turned south...

At night, Li Jing's troops had unexpectedly appeared under Tiancheng City, southwest of Huaian, a hundred miles away.

The Turks were as if they had entered a no-man's realm, which made the Turkic leaders stationed in Tiancheng City very careless. He didn't think that Tiancheng City, which is now in the Turkic army, would be attacked. If Daman had not specifically asked him to station in this city, he would not feel the need to divide his troops and stay in the city of Youzhou. He would have been more straightforward and happy to kill him in Tiancheng City. He stayed in Tiancheng City, and the entire army was drinking and caring all day long, underestimating the enemy so that he did not even send necessary racquets outside the city.

In the last darkness before dawn, a large number of cavalry quietly came to this city that had long been looted by the Turks.

Horses wrap their hooves and people hold them.

They quickly surrounded the gates of Tiancheng County. Poshi personally brought a thousand Turkic cavalry torches and appeared under the city with flags.

"Hurry up and open the city, Poshi's special service is here." Under Bipu's torch, a Turkic soldier rode his horse to the city and shouted loudly at the dark city gate. The drunken guards in the city leaned into the city and then muttered why it was coming at this time, and woke up the companions around him without any doubt and asked them to open the city gate. Although he was half drunk, he still saw clearly that the firelight under the city was indeed a team of Turkic cavalry, and he also saw the conspicuous silver wolf head flag.

"Let the suspension bridge and open the city gate." With the still drunken shout, the Turks pushed the winch down the suspension bridge, lifted the door bolt, and opened the Baotiecheng Gate.

The creaking sound seemed so clear at dawn. Seeing the city gate open easily, Po Shi felt a little complicated. But in the end he waved his hand hard and "take it." The elite wolf cavalry kicked the horse's belly and rushed forward.

"What are you anxious?" Before the Turkic soldiers who opened the door understood what was going on, Fuli, who was under Poshi's command, had already roared. With a clanging sound, a sharp sabre was swung high, and the Turkic soldiers beside the door had already separated. The rumbling iron hooves sounded, and a large group of Fuli cavalry rushed into the city. Most of the garrisons in the city were still immersed in sleep and drunkenness, and had no idea what was going on. Most of them died under the swords of their compatriots.

"What's wrong?" Someone woke up from the noise and jumped out barefoot and shouted, but the answer was a sharp arrow with the sound of the wind, which hit his open mouth.

Groups of cavalry rushed into the city, and most of the Thousand Turkic soldiers stationed in the city were sent to the underworld before they understood what had happened. A few people wanted to escape from the city, but as soon as they left the city, they were shot by Li Jing's troops ambushed at the gates of each city. The battle ended quickly, and most of the defenders were killed in a daze. Only a few lucky people, because Poshi had seized the gates and key points in the city, finally let them go and allow them to surrender.

After the war, a thousand garrisons in the city were counted, and in the end, only more than 300 prisoners were left.

Li Jing asked someone to put out the fire in the city, and then asked Po Shi to send his confidants to call the police everywhere for help.

Two hours later, nearly noon, a Turkic cavalry of more than a thousand people rushed to reinforce. When they arrived at Tiancheng City, they found that there seemed to have just experienced a battle in front of the city gate. The city gate was open. A group of Turkic soldiers were digging pits, as if they were burying their brothers who died in battle.

Several Turkic officers from afar rushed out of the city and came up.

"What happened?" Tu Yin, who brought troops to the rescue, asked.

"Damn Han army, I don't know where they came from. They suddenly came to kill at dawn and attacked us. Fortunately, they were not many soldiers and only had hundreds of cavalry, so we finally killed them back. Those guys lost more than a hundred corpses and ran eastward." Gu Chuan, who came up, replied.

Tuyi said with some scathing pleasure, "Hundreds of Han cavalry actually beat you up and asked for help?"

"I really didn't expect these southern barbarians to be so brave, but I have to thank Tuyi Shijin to come and reinforce. Come and enter the city with me. There are still many good wines in the city that were dug out from the cellar of the Nanmanzi's house." Gu Chuan pulled Tuyi's arm attentively and walked into the city. Tuyi heard that there was good wine, so he laughed and didn't think much about it. Because he knew this Gu Chuan, he was indeed the garrison general in Tiancheng City, and this place was equivalent to their rear. He did not encounter any decent resistance when he captured this place. Today's attack was the first time he had captured here. Therefore, Tuyi, like Gu Chuan before, had committed the same problem of underestimating the enemy, and he did not even have any warning or guard. He brought a thousand subordinates to follow Gu Chuan, who was captured alive in the morning battle and then persuaded by Poshi to surrender, swaggering into the city.

The soldiers talked and laughed, the team was loose and they didn't even take out their weapons.

A thousand men soon entered the city. Seeing that the other party was completely trapped, Li Jing, who was standing on the top of the city, looked disdainful. When he decided on the plan, he just tried it, but he didn't expect it to be so effective.

"Close the door and beat the dog." Li Jing waved.

The city gate creaked and the heavy city gate suddenly fell.

At the same time, on the roofs and shops on both sides of the street, teams of archers appeared, and all the bright bows and arrows were aimed at Tuyi's troops on the street.

Tu Yi's face changed drastically. Just as he was about to ask Gu Chuan what was going on, Gu Chuan was already showing a ruthless look on his face. Suddenly, he took out a scimitar and slashed Tu Yi's face. Tu Yi fell off his horse, and his breath disappeared. Gu Chuan jumped off his horse and chopped off Tu Yi's head, holding his head in his hand and shouted: "You are already surrounded, the surrenderers put down their swords and avoid death!"

Gu Chu shouted three times in a row.

The long street was so quiet that it was shocking that Tuyi's subordinates were all shocked, while the archers on all sides and Tuyi's head made them dare not move at all.

At this time, Poshi rode his horse and personally surrendered. After he explained the current situation in a few words in a brief manner, a smart guy immediately threw down his weapon and got off the horse.

With the leader, the clanging sound continued to sound, one after another. The Turks had no fighting spirit and all surrendered.

"Things went smoother than I thought." Bing Yuanzhen looked at the scene on the street with a smile.

Li Jing nodded, "Indeed, Poshi is especially useful." Along the way, Li Jing has used Poshi to surrender countless Turkic soldiers and horses, and most of the time, he always goes without saying goodbye.

The 1,000 Turkic soldiers who had just surrendered, and another cavalry arrived from outside the city and reported to Li Jing that another Turkic army of hundreds of people was coming. They had already arrived twenty miles outside the city.

"Well, let's make arrangements and do it again." Li Jing chuckled.

"The Turks are not so stupid, are they?" asked Bing Yuanzhen.

In fact, the Turks were indeed so stupid. Gu Chuan, who had just made contributions, made a comeback again. The same lines and plots were still the same results. The Turkic soldiers who had worked hard to rescue were once again lured into the city. Then they were closed and beaten. These Turks resisted, but unfortunately, the rain of arrows fell down immediately, and their resistance was immediately strangled. The rest of the tactful and conscious surrendered.

On that day, Li Jing used this simple strategy and repeated it five times. He wiped out nearly 3,000 Turkic troops, including annihilated and killed more than 700 enemies. More than 2,000 prisoners surrendered, which added six regiments to Li Jing's Sixth Battalion. The Sixth Cavalry Battalion also reached a huge scale of twenty-seven regiments.

"General, should we stop when we see the opportunity? The small groups of Turkic soldiers nearby were almost lured by us. I guess Daman from Huaian has also discovered the abnormality here. If we stay still, we are afraid that the big shark Daman will be caught." Bing Yuanzhen reminded Li Jing. Although they now have more than 13,000 of them, after all, 10,000 of them are Turkic soldiers, which is not stable and reliable.

However, Li Jing was not satisfied with the results of the battle in front of him. Xiaoyu Xiaoxiao and others could no longer satisfy him. He was already looking forward to Daman.

"Let Gu Chuan pick up a few people who have passed the letter and report to Daman to Huaian City, saying that we are attacking Tiancheng County, and they will not be able to hold on anymore and let Daman come to rescue quickly."

Bing Yuanzhen protested, "General, we can't defeat Daman. If we get entangled by Daman, we can't get rid of it. Don't forget that there is not only Daman here. There are 50,000 troops in the west. Daman still has about 20,000 troops in the north, and more than 10,000 troops in Daman to the south. In addition, there are 50,000 troops in Kuhezhen to the northeast and southeast. We are now in the enemy's numerous encirclements, and in the hearts of more than 100,000 troops. If they are blocked, we have no way to escape."

Li Jing looked relaxed and confident, "We are indeed in the hearts of the enemy now, but the enemy is scattered everywhere and it is impossible to take unified actions. We can defeat each one. We are in full swing now, and I think we can do another big vote. After this battle, we will leave."

"I'm here to invite you to get into the trap and close the door and fight the dog?" Seeing that Bing Yuanzhen could not persuade Li Jing, he had to reluctantly agree to fight another battle.

"No, let's change some tricks this time."

In Huaian City, a cavalry rushed to the sky.

"What, a Han army is besieging Tiancheng?" Daman was very surprised when he heard the news.

"How many of them?"

The messenger gasped and replied, "There are only five thousand men, but all of them are very well-equipped. They are wearing mirror lights, horses are wearing leather armor, with strong bows and crossbows, and sharp knights and spears. They move quickly and attack fiercely. When the leader of Xingguchu was attacked, he immediately sent people to ask for help from all over the world. He had to support the leader of Tuyi and other divisions, and then he barely persevered. Now we have withstood the attack of this Sui army, but the leader of Guchuchu was worried that the Han cavalry might run away at any time. He specially asked me to come and inform the special service and requested the special service to send troops to encircle and annihilate him in one fell swoop."

"Only five thousand men?" Daman frowned, unable to understand where the troops came from. Last night, a battalion of troops on the east bank of the river was raided and annihilated, and then disappeared without a trace. Could it be this troops? He was a little irritated and he called his guards, "Have the scouts sent out returned, but have they found the troops that attacked the camp on the east bank? Also, what is the situation of the troops stationed in the north? Is there any news about my uncle and wife's special service?"

The guard shook his head, "The attacking troops have not been traced yet, nor have the traces of the Poshi Special Forces found, but the several garrisons in the north have also disappeared. Several of the camps have traces of fighting, but most of the other camps have no traces of fighting, and the troops in these camps cannot be found. They seem to have disappeared out of thin air."

"How could it disappear?" Daman was furious. The matter was a bit abnormal, which made him feel completely out of control. He hated this feeling. However, his uncle, Poshi Special Forces, and the disappearance of thousands of soldiers and horses made him feel that maybe things were not at the worst. Maybe Poshi discovered that a Han cavalry was infiltrating, so he led his troops to pursue the Han cavalry. Yes, it must be like this. Otherwise, how could his tens of thousands of soldiers disappear battalions after battalion, and even didn't have time to report him news? This morning, the sudden attack at Hedong camp, coupled with the attack from Tiancheng City to the south, made him feel that he had finally captured this mysterious Han army.

"Five thousand cavalry, well-equipped, quick-moving, and fierce attacks, it seems that they are the cavalry from Huaihuang. The Sui Dynasty Hedong army to the south is still in Shuozhou, and the Hebei army is still blocked east of Taihang. Daman thought about it and could only go south from Huaihuang. After guessing the origin of this army, Daman was in a better mood. Five thousand people, no matter how powerful they are, how powerful they can be? First, you caught you off guard. Now, since you have grasped your whereabouts, your doomsday has arrived.

"Come here, order 10,000 elite cavalry and immediately follow my special service to go south immediately. In addition, use my command arrows to send orders to our troops in Weizhou, so that they can gather and surround Tiancheng immediately. This time, we will destroy these five thousand Han cavalry in one fell swoop!"

Left more than 10,000 people continued to surround Huaian City. Daman mobilized 10,000 elite cavalry and immediately rushed to Tiancheng in the south. He sent troops to mobilize his troops in the southeast to encircle Tiancheng. Before leaving, he thought for a while, and sent messengers to Weizhou and Yunnei, asking Kuhezhen and Dulan to send troops to encircle, so that the five thousand Han cavalry that dared to penetrate deep into their hearts would be wiped out in one fell swoop.

From time to time, there were horses to report to Li Jing. Turkic soldiers and horses were coming towards Tiancheng. More and more troops were increasing, and 10,000 or 20,000 were rising. Now at least more than 30,000 Turkic troops have surrounded Tiancheng from all directions.
