The blessing of entrusting Emperor Yang of Sui, Chen Sangliang's orders were still implemented by everyone. In the early morning of this day, Liu Changgong, Yun Dingxing and Li Yuan, who were ordered to send troops, led 10,000 troops northwards to meet Chen Yingliang outside the gate of Qiao Peng Camp. Yinshi Division also personally brought 10,000 troops to help Chen Yingliang as a military law team and a supervising team. Chen Yingliang also brought 10,000 troops out of the camp, met with everyone, and organized more than 40,000 troops to launch a decisive battle with the Turks in Wan County.

This was a hasty decisive battle. Chen Sangliang, who was seriously lacking in preparation, had no time to even know the names and official positions of many Sui army generals, let alone the combat effectiveness of each army and its troops, as well as the combat style and reliability of each battalion and general. He was completely the case that he launched this decisive battle without knowing the enemy and the enemy. He was at a critical moment, which was equivalent to betting on the prestige and authority of the commander of the King's Coalition. If he wins, he will naturally be able to say anything. If he loses, he will not be able to explain it to the court, nor will he explain it to the soldiers of the King's Coalition.

In such a hurry, Chen Yingliang decided to launch this decisive battle. All the generals of the Kings knew that the weather on this day became the key. As a result, when the sun gradually rose to the top of the East Mountain, Li Yuan's mouth couldn't close. Liu Changgong, who was closer to Chen Yingliang, and Yinshi Master were also worried. After many days of sunshine, today was another sunny day. The sky was blue as blue. Not to mention that there were any signs of rain, even a ray of white clouds could not be found.

Seeing this, even the veteran General Yun Dingxingyun, who climbed up to the Zuotun Guard by flattery, felt a little guilty and couldn't help but whisper to Chen Yingliang: "Master, does it seem like it is going to rain? Most of our soldiers are tired from afar. Fighting in such weather is exhausting."

The matter is of great importance, of course Chen Yingliang is more guilty than anyone else, but at this point, Chen Yingliang can no longer look back. In addition, Yuan Tiangang nodded one after another, asking himself to believe his judgment. Chen Yingliang could only answer in a low voice and rest assured, and then ordered loudly: "Send the orders to the three armies to set off to Gan County."

Amid the sound of the trumpet, the 40,000 troops of kings began to drive northward one after another. The one who walked in the front was of course Li Yuan's team volunteered to be the vanguard, Yundingxing's Zuotun Guard followed closely, Chen Yingliang and Yinshi Division followed behind, and the Dongdu Kings Army led by Liu Changgong walked at the end. The Chen-character flag of the commander of the Kings Army of the Great Sui Dynasty fluttered in the wind in the Qiao Peng army, and the loud military song "Loyalty for the Country" echoed neatly among the Qiao Peng team and the Right Wu Guard. The four armies joined forces like a slowly flowing torrent, slowly and firmly flowing northward.

Looking back, he saw Chen Yingliang's tall general flag. Li Yuan, who was leading his army to the front, spit a heavy phlegm. He still looked back and saw Chen Yingliang's general flag. Li Yuan's precious son Li Er was full of envy. Li Yuan's precious son Chai Shaoze was extremely complicated and he never thought that the poor boy who was so poor that he could not even afford to drink rice porridge would have such a day. What he said was that after the poor boy climbed to the commander of the 120,000 army, he would actually serve as a small lieutenant under his command, pulling horses and stirrups for him, acting as a cattle and horse, and being a small chess piece on his command board, a chess piece that was too small to see.

"Don't bully the young man poor." A brother-in-law's words suddenly echoed in Chai Shao's mind, making Chai Shao sigh softly, and for the first time he felt a little regretful.

At the same time, the news that the Sui army was dispatched to the north on a large scale was of course also reported to the Turkic scouts, and reported to the Turkic general Ashina, the Turkic general in Gan County. When learning about this situation, Ashina, who had already suffered two defeats in front of Chen Yingliang, was so angry that he cursed the barbarians of the Central Plains that they were too bullying. He immediately ordered the entire army to go out of the camp and fight to the death with the invading enemy.

Ashina's decision to join forces was persuaded by his beloved general Du, who persuaded him: "Yesheng led the Duke. Our army had fought twice before and unfortunately failed twice in succession. The morale had been affected. The barbarians of the Central Plains dispatched more than 40,000 troops this time, and the situation was extraordinary. If there was any disadvantage, it would be difficult to retreat to the camp to hold on. The task assigned by Khan was to intercept the reinforcements of the Central Plains. The terrain in this area was not wide. Instead of taking a risk and decisive battle, it would be better to stick to the camp and lure the Central Plains army to attack. We should first set the spirit of the Central Plains army. After their morale declined, we would then send troops from the back camp or both wings to circumvent the weak positions. We would definitely win a great victory."

Thinking that the advice of the beloved general was reasonable, Ashina's association rate did not hesitate, and immediately changed the order, asking the army to hold on to the camp first, and then wait for an opportunity to attack. At the same time, for the sake of safety, Ashina's association rate listened to Du's advice and sent a messenger to hurry up to his brother Shibi Khan to report the trends of the Sui army's reinforcements, and requested that Shibi send an army south to reinforce to prevent any incidents.

Of course, Chen Yingliang also sent scouts to detect the movements of the Turkic army. Seeing that it was only fifteen or sixteen miles away from the Turkic camp, but he still had not received a report of the Turkic army going south. Chen Yingliang was inevitably confused and asked left and right: "Didn't the Turkic army be good at riding and shooting and like to fight field battles? Why did our army go north here and the Turkic have not sent troops yet? Should the Turkic army fight a camp offensive and defensive battle with us?"

"The Turks like field battles, but are afraid of formation battles, especially fear of fighting with our Great Sui army." A voice sounded a little far away and said calmly: "In the second year of Kaihuang of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Great Sui general Da Xi Changru led his army to fight 3,000 to fight 100,000 Turks, and set up square and circular formations in the field to meet the enemy. Fourteen battles were fought in three days. Our Great Sui soldiers used up all weapons and had to fight with their fists and feet. The fierce battle was exposed. However, the Turkic army still could not destroy our square and circular formation and was forced to withdraw our troops. Our army died seven or eight, and the Turkic army was killed in battles but more than ten thousand people. Since then, what the Turkic feared the most was to fight with our Great Sui army in the field, and only like to fight with our Great Sui army in the field."

Hearing this, Chen Yingliang quickly turned his head to see the person who spoke, but saw that Li Jing, the governor of Mayi County, who was always unsure of his position. Seeing Chen Yingliang looking at him in surprise, Li Jing smiled slightly and said, "Master, the subordinates don't know if you are interested. In short, you let our four armies line up and get close to each other, which happens to be the most feared way of marching that the Turks fear most, because once they come out of the camp, we can immediately line up and fight. The Turkic army does not want to suffer the loss of formation battles, so of course they will not die in vain."

Chen Yingliang suddenly realized and smiled awkwardly: "To be honest with the Chief Li Jung-Cheng, I am confused. I don't know much about the Turkic army, and I am indeed a little afraid of their cavalry and shooting. This made the army march in line and ready to fight at any time, so that the four armies in front and behind are close together, and to facilitate mutual reinforcement and command."

"You can find the best way to restrain the Turks by intuition alone. The general is really worthy of being a genius." Li Jing smiled as if a little sarcastic, and said with a smile: "But the officials said bluntly that although the Turkic army is not good at defending, their camps are not so easy to take down. We attacked head-on, which is just a chance to show off the power of the Turkic arrows. The Turkic lined up to fire arrows, and the bows and arrows were endless, covering the sky. Our attacking army must be quite injured. We must be wary of them attacking from the two wings of the rear camp. We attacked from all sides, and the troops seemed to be a little insufficient. We had 40,000 troops, and the Turkic army also had more than 40,000 troops, and the troops were basically equal and surrounded by all sides. The general must know the dangers of the subordinates, so the subordinates would not show any ugly things."

Chen Yingliang was speechless and looked up at the sky again. Seeing that the sky was still red sun in the sky, there was no cloud, and there was no sign of rain. Chen Yingliang could only smile bitterly at the sky, and then continued to urge Ma Bei to go forward, constantly thinking in his heart, what if it really didn't rain today? Should he put gunpowder weapons on the battlefield of the Turkic partial division? The result of the calculation was that if it didn't rain today, he could only play the last trump card gunpowder weapons in front of the Turkic partial division and his mortal enemy Li Yuan, and gain a victory to establish his prestige and prestige.

In fact, the biggest reason why the Turks refused to go out to fight the camp was that the terrain of Dongxian was not wide enough. The average width of the terrain in Dongxian, which was crossed by the Luliang Mountains and the Taihang Mountains, was only more than 20 miles away. Such terrain was suitable for blocking but not for mobile warfare. The Turks of Dongxian, which were responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the Sui army, also made good use of this narrow terrain. They built a solid camp with a length of about ten miles in the road, and it was rare to dig a trench to protect the camp, and built a strong camp. When the troops were basically equal, to be honest, the Sui army was not sure of defeating the enemy in one battle.

It is precisely because of this that when Chen Yingliang, who could only be considered an old sparrow on the battlefield, was still a little worried, but he did not dare to reveal any concern. Chen Yingliang could only order the army to arrange his commanding flag formation on a small hill on the left side of the official road. Qiao Peng Sui Army was responsible for defending the flag formation as the central army to arrange the square formation, and the Eastern Du Army led by Liu Changgong on the left wing, the Zuotun Guard Army led by Yun Dingxing on the right wing, and the Taiyuan Sui Army under Li Yuan was pushed to the front by Chen Yingliang without hesitation, acting as the assault cannon fodder and part-time human shield.

It was already half over Si, and the autumn tiger was raging, and the sky was scorching like a fire. The Sui army soldiers who came from afar had not had enough rest. The physical strength was quite affected in such weather. It was a bit conscientious to let the soldiers of each army take a rest, Chen Yingliang quickly summoned Li Yuan, Yun Dingxing, Liu Changgong and Yinshi Division and other generals to hold the final pre-war meeting and arrange combat tasks. After everyone arrived, Chen Yingliang immediately ordered Li Yuan to dispatch 3,000 light infantry as engineers, and used the toad chariots brought with the army to fill the Turkic camp to protect the camp, first open the road to attack the heavy infantry, and then put the heavy infantry to attack the Turkic camp head-on.

Hearing Chen Yingliang's order, Liu Changgong, who had not been in the wrong team before, and Yun Dingxing, who changed his butt position in time, covered his mouth and laughed secretly, but Li Yuan's face turned pale and said angrily: "Marrior Chen, do you really want to attack head-on? You have seen how powerful the Turkic bows and arrows are. You have asked the team of the last general to fill the camp's trenches in the Turkic camp. Don't you know how big the casualties are?"

"Ambassador Li, I told you yesterday that today's battle is a head-on decisive battle." Chen Yingliang said calmly: "The Turks refused to go out to the camp to fight. If we don't fill the Turks' trenches, how can we attack the camp? How can we fight against the Turks?"

After asking Li Yuan was speechless, Chen Yingliang smiled again and added: "Besides, I am very interested in you, the ambassador. At least I have prepared for you to bring you a toad cart, so that you can easily fill the trench in the thief camp. It is better than asking you to carry soil and rocks to fill the trench directly, right? Don't worry, I will give you enough time. Within an hour, it's not a difficult situation for you to fill the trench in the two-mile long Turkic camp, right?"

Looking at the twelve toad carts brought by Qiao Peng and Sui army, Li Yuan immediately understood that Chen Yingliang was not a short time, but had expected that the Turkic army might close the camp and stayed firm. He had sent scouts to explore the situation of the Turkic camp, so he prepared the toad cart early and prepared in advance to let the self-arms serve as the engineer and coolie. Li Yuan had no choice but to hold his fists and say the last order, and then rushed back to the army to arrange the arrangements in anger, leaving Liu Changgong and Yun Dingxing to laugh even happier in Chen Yingliang's flag formation, glad that the self-arms did not have such an unlucky thing.

In a moment, Li Yuan's team was ready to fill the trenches. As the war drums sounded, the first battle after Chen Yingliang took office as the commander of the King's General Army began. The Taiyuan Sui army, who served as the vanguard, first sent a large number of long shield hands to the formation, covering the crossbowmen slowly forward, and arranged temporary fortifications outside the Turkic camp to cover the crossbowmen with bows and arrows to suppress the Turkic soldiers in the camp, reducing the pressure on the toad convoy. Then twelve toad vehicles stepped forward, and a group of hundreds of people pushed a toad vehicle, relying on the long shield hands to protect their wings and rushed forward, rushing towards the trenches outside the Turkic camp.

By the way, Li Yuan accused Chen Yingliang a little bit this time. These toad carts were not actually built by Qiao Peng Sui army, but were left behind by the Turkic army after the last attack on Qiao Peng camp. They were taken here by Chen Yingliang's waste.

The frontline of the battle was already full of arrows. The feathered arrows of the Turkic army were falling all the time, sweeping across the battlefield like a storm. Even if the Sui army archers were covered with shields, they were still pressed by the Turkic bows and arrows and could not raise their heads. There was not much chance to shoot arrows and fight back. The Sui army infantry pushing the toad cart forward was even more miserable. Even if there were towering toad carts in front of them to protect the front and long shields beside them to protect the two wings, they were still shot dead and injured by the Turkic feathered arrows that were shot from the way they were shot. A toad cart even stopped moving forward because of too many arrows in the driver.

The feather arrows of different colors continued to fall like hail and raindrops. The twelve toad carts quickly turned into twelve huge hedgehogs. The drivers of the Sui army who were pushing the cart kept screaming behind the cart. The Taiyuan generals represented by Li Xiaogong and Xu Shixu roared beside Li Yuan, asking whether Chen Yingliang would fight? He even asked Chen Yingliang why he wanted to hand over such a troop to his own army? Li Yuan looked ahead with a blue face, and he wanted to tear Chen Yingliang apart.

Of course, Chen Yingliang was also staring at the battlefield nervously. When he saw that the feather arrows inserted around the temporary fortifications of the Sui army were as dense as reeds, Chen Yingliang felt aroused in his heart and hurriedly called Li Jing in front of him, asking: "Mr. Li, I have something to ask. Since the Turks used feather arrows so much, how can their feather arrows be guaranteed? The cost of feather arrows is not low. How could the Turkic army have so many feather arrows?"

"Reported to the Grand Marshal, there are three reasons why the Turks have such sufficient feathers." Li Jing replied truthfully: "First, the Turks are good at shooting, hunting countless birds on the grassland, with sufficient feathers, and the prices are far cheaper than the Central Plains. Second, the Turks have a vast territory, and there is no shortage of wood in the territory, and they are cheaper to get wood. They do not pay attention to the quality of arrow shafts like our Central Plains army. The arrow shafts are generally discarded after use, and only iron arrowheads are recycled. The sources are very wide, so the quantity is naturally guaranteed. Third, the Turks pay attention to the protection of craftsmen, and the male robbed from the Central Plains is also basically used to produce feather arrows, so the supply of feather arrows is very sufficient."

Chen Yingliang nodded and then asked, "Since that's the case, why don't your border officials consider controlling the supply of pig iron to the grassland? Without pig iron arrows, no matter how much wood and feathers there are, it's useless?"

"It has been controlled all the time, but the effect is very small." Li Jing replied: "Smuggling is too serious and it is impossible to prevent it."

Chen Yingliang nodded again, and after a little calculation, Chen Yingliang ordered Li Jing: "Mr. Li, go and contact your general translation and let them teach the Turkic words "not killing" to all the soldiers, and tell our soldiers by the way, that is, it is my order. When our army chases after our victory, our soldiers can shout this slogan to surrender, and they must not kill the Turkic soldiers."

Li Jing agreed without hesitation and immediately went down to arrange the arrangements. Yuan Tiangang came up and whispered: "Master, you really don't plan to kill the surrender, right? The Turkic barbarians are not from our Great Sui Dynasty. Do you need to be so kind to them?"

"Sometimes, when it is time to be kind and righteous, you have to be kind and righteous." Chen Yingliang replied with a smile: "In order to shake the enemy's morale and attack the morale of the Turkic people, I have another decision, that is, I will let the Turkic soldiers I will be arrested in the future, and let them go immediately after the examination of the confession, so as not to stay and waste food."

Chen Yingliang, who usually hates foreign barbarians, suddenly decided to show such kindness. Yuan Tiangang was stunned. When he quickly asked the reason, Chen Yingliang smiled and refused to answer, saying that you would understand in the future. Then he urged him in turn: "Watch the weather quickly. When it rains, he immediately told me whether I, the commander-in-chief, can hold the coach firmly, but it depends on you."

"Master, don't worry, it will definitely rain today, this is absolutely impossible to be wrong." Yuan Tiangang said confidently: "Which time is not certain, although Bei Zhi cannot be sure of it, he can at least predict it within the moment before it rains."
