Chapter 460 The Turks have been destroyed
"Open the dock door and I will take my uncle's head back!"
Yang Xun shouted loudly, and was about to go down.
Yang Jiyuan stretched out and shouted weakly, "Don't go!"
"Grandpa, is my uncle's head stuck outside the fort gate like this?"
"Don't go, that's Qin Lang's trick, don't be fooled." Yang Jiyuan covered his heart and said with great pain. Although he was in chaos, after all, he could still tell at a glance that Qin Lang was deliberately provoking to lure him.
"I once heard that Qin Langzhi's father Qin Qiong followed the Emperor of Chang'an to fight. If he encountered a stubborn enemy in the city who could not come out of the city, Qin Qiong would deliberately rush to the enemy's city with a gun alone, insert his big iron spear into the ground, and then mock the city for a while and then snatch the long. But when the defenders in the city came out of the city to grab the big iron spear, they would find that the gun could not be pulled out. Qin Qiong would always rush to the horse again, kill people, carry the gun, insert the enemy's head on the iron spear to show off, destroy the morale of the defenders, and strengthen the military's power!"
Yang Jiyuan said to his sons weakly, "I don't know how many times Qin Qiong used this trick, and how many people were fooled. His big iron spear had been invited into the palace by the Emperor Chang'an to treasure it and listed as a national ritual vessel of the Tang Dynasty. Whenever there is an important occasion, you must be invited out. Son, don't be fooled by Qin Lang anymore. Your uncle just underestimated the enemy and lost his life."
Yang Xun and Yang Qin and other brothers saw that the Qin general below put his uncle's head on his uncle's flag and stood in front of the dock gate. The Qin man had returned two hundred steps away from the dock fort.
"Grandpa, I'm sure I can take back my uncle's head and flag before the Qin thief returns." Yang Xun said unconvincedly.
Yang Jiyuan closed his eyes and said, "Don't go. Without my order, no one will be allowed to leave the fort to fight. Violators will be killed!"
The battle-free sign was hung high on Lang Sang Dock, and the city gate was closed and no one dared to fight.
Qin Yong looked at it for a while, but no one came out. He couldn't help but curl his lips, "The Yang family usually eats too much turtle feet, so it's very good to use it as a turtle? Is it so cowardly?"
Qin Lang sat on the horse and looked at Lang Shanwu carefully. The fort was built well. It was much better than the barbarian camps I saw along the way. Although it was not as dangerous as the barbarian camps on the mountain, the fort was very big and built the Qiongqi River in the city. It not only solved the drinking water problem, but also made the fort live in defense. The two water gates were two living mouths, and could ferry out the army on a boat at any time and go around to the side of the attacking troops.
The walls of the fort are tall and strong, and it is reported that there are a lot of grain stored in Yangjiawu. Therefore, if the conventional method of besieging the city, even if he and his more than 10,000 people come to attack, they may not have enough food for a year or two. Instead, he himself, more than 10,000 people come across the fort, and there are twelve forts behind him, so the food and grass must not be replenished.
"It seems that the Yang family is determined to spend the rest of their time with us. This Yang Jiyuan is a cruel man and even wants his brother's corpse."
After touching his head, Qin Lang said, "It seems that we still have to use a secret weapon. Let everyone camp first and prepare for cooking. Let's wait until it gets dark!"
Although she was holding a secret weapon like gunpowder in her hand, Yangjiawu Fort is not a Huangjia Village in Shuikou. The gate of the fort is tall and thick, and it is also covered with bricks. It is impossible to explode easily, so she can only use more professional blasting techniques.
First, we will find out the weak area of the fort, then hit the tunnel below, use a coffin to place gunpowder and blast it underneath, blow it up for a section, and then rush in.
So it is more appropriate to dig a tunnel at night.
More than 10,000 people then set off the camp two miles below the fort. The distance between them was so long that they fully demonstrated the confidence of the Qin family. They were not afraid of the Yang family coming out of the camp, and even looked forward to them.
The cattle, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese carried with the army were slaughtered directly by the Qiongqi River.
Some went to log and set up fences, some went to pick up dry firewood to make fire, and some people were responsible for drinking horses and grazing.
In the camp, some people were setting up tents, some were building sheds, and some were digging toilets. Some were all from Chang'an with Qin Lang, while those who were logging wood, mowing grass and setting up sheds were mostly barbarians.
Qin Yong personally inspected the camp and ordered that every fifty people must dig a toilet pit and prepare a pile of soil next to it. After the soldiers used the toilet, they must cover the soil to ensure hygiene and prevent epidemics.
"The water must be boiled and cooled, and drink raw water!"
"Wash your hands before and after meals!"
Qin Lang attaches great importance to hygiene and epidemic prevention. There are special military hospitals and epidemic prevention inspectors in the team. Whenever they go to camp, people will be sent to check the water source. Whenever they set up camps, they will also sprinkle with snake and insect-proof powder when setting up camps, and some medicinal materials for preventing heatstroke will be added to boiled water.
At dusk, the autumn wind blew.
In front of Lang Shanwu, on the banks of the Qiongqi River, more than 10,000 people and horses were noisy but orderly doing their own things.
Some patrol guards, some pick up firewood and carry water, some drink horses and grazing, some set up camps and set up tents, some cook fire, and some grind guns and manicures.
Yang Jiyuan has recovered a little, and he stood on the fort gate again, looking at the Qin family camp outside the fort.
The more I looked at it, the more frightened I thought it would be a mob, but who knew that more than 10,000 people were so well organized that even if they were set up, they would be so neat.
The soldiers patrolling there were fully armed, riding horses with helmets and armor waiting for battle.
Impossible!
Lao Yang sighed again.
I feel even more regretful.
"Grandma, let's just spend time with him. How many people in Qin's surname are chewed by horses? How many days can they last? Don't look at him being very arrogant now. In a few days, he can only beg for mercy." Yang Xun said.
Old Yang remained silent.
"Go to the treasury to get five thousand taels of gold, and I will give it to the soldiers and young men in the dock."
"Five thousand taels? It's too much. Just take some money, grain and rewards, and how can you give so much?"
"If you want to go, you go! Why do you do so much nonsense?" Lao Yang is still quite experienced. At this time, no matter how much money the treasury has, it doesn't belong to him anymore. What can he be so stingy?
"There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. To guard the fort, we have to rely on everyone. As long as we keep it, what's the point of giving up some money?"
Slaughter pigs and cows outside the city, and the food is fragrant.
The city was dividing gold and silver, and there was also laughter and joy.
For a moment, the city was very lively.
At dusk.
A cavalry team rushed over.
Ah Huang led his men to the tent of the Central Army Chief Banner.
"Sanlang, Chang'an Kuaishou, Guizhou Governor Li Xizhi sent troops to escort him."
The messenger is full of dust.
"Ten days, I only took ten days." The messenger smiled when he saw Qin Lang.
It took nearly five thousand miles to run, and the messenger only took ten days. This shocked Qin Lang. What kind of important news actually made him come here to deliver the letter so desperately?
"But what big thing happened in Chang'an?"
"A big thing, a big thing, a big good thing!"
Jie Li was captured alive, and the Khanate of the Shanyutai in the southern part of the Eastern Turkic Desert was destroyed. This is of course a great thing.
While Qin Lang was still in the wilderness of Lingnan and the barbarians, the imperial court finally launched the Northern Expedition.
The troops were dispatched in six groups, with a total of 180,000 elite troops all out. They were led by Duke Li Jing of Dai, Duke Qin Qiong of Qi was in charge of Taiyuan to coordinate the transportation of money and grain, while Duke Zhao, Changsun Wuji of Zhao, went to Dingxiang to supervise the army.
Six roads are launching together, and the momentum of thunder is thunder.
I have accumulated more than a year of preparation.
In the early October, Li Jing led three thousand cavalry to set out from Mayi, Shuozhou, and entered the Eyangling Mountains in Tunxiang City. Therefore, the small court of the Later Sui Dynasty, supported by the Turks, was defeated.
When Jie Li Khan heard the Tang army suddenly arrived at Shanyutai, he determined that since the commander Li Jing, the head commander, had arrived, the main force of the Tang army must have followed behind. So before he was ready to fight, he hurriedly took the Khan's men and retreated directly northward, crossed the white road of Yinshan, and retreated the Golden Wolf Crown to the Jikou.
Li Jing sent people to spread rumors around, saying that the heavenly soldiers had arrived.
Jie Li's confidant Kang Sumi was originally left behind by Jie Li to gather troops to resist the Tang army, but was instigated by the secret stake sent by the Fufu Department by him.
Kang Sumi went to Dingxiang City in person to ask Li Jing for surrender, and surrendered to Tang with his troops from the palace.
When Jie Li heard that Kang Sumi surrendered to Tang, he was so scared that he did not dare to stay at the sight of Jikou again, so he had to continue to retreat. He met Chai Shao's Jinhedao Army by the Hunhe River. The two armies fought and walked again without winning. He fled to the vicinity of Baidao, but was intercepted by Li Ji, who was in the army in Izuyun, and was defeated.
Jie Li retreated to Tieshan and summoned the remnants.
Many of the Turkic tribes in the south of the desert, after hearing that Jie Li was defeated, were persuaded by envoys sent by the Tang army to surrender and instigated them to rebel. They all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and refused to be summoned.
Jie Li had no choice but to run east again, trying to flee to the east, relying on his nephew Tuli.
As a result, when he arrived near Qinjiakou, he encountered a Tu Group Ranger sent by the troops of Cheng Yao Jinda of Youzhou, Dou Hong Line of Su Dingfang and the Hebei Tu Group led by Li Jinxing, and the Mahe Cavalry raided in the middle of the night.
The three thousand Han Hu Qingqi raided in the middle of the night, and Su Dingfang even asked his subordinates to take the banner of Li Jing. Jie Li had already become a frightened bird and collapsed at one touch.
Jie Li's tens of thousands of troops dispersed for a moment, and he fled with only a few thousand cavalry.
After the great defeat, Jie Li sent someone to surrender to the Tang army, saying that he was willing to go to Chang'an to apologize for surrender.
However, he just wanted to get another chance to breathe, so that he could collect the remaining troops and flee east and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback.
Su Dingfang believed that the fighter plane was precious and had no time to ask Cheng Yaojin or Li Jing for instructions, so he replied that he pretended to agree to ask the emperor and reported to the court. At the same time, he sent a lot of good wine to condolences and comfort him.
When Jie Li saw the envoy and received the wine, he really thought that the Tang army had been hit by his delaying plan, so he relaxed a lot of his nervous defense.
Unexpectedly, Su Dingfang was also cruel. He pretended to agree to Jie Li's request to report to the Emperor Chang'an for him, and then pretended to send wine to comfort him. As a result, after confirming Jie Li's location and number of troops, he immediately selected eight hundred elite cavalry and set off overnight.
Under the cover of thick fog, Su Dingfang fought seven miles in front of Jieli's camp before he was discovered. The fog was everywhere, and Jieli had no idea how many people had come to the Tang army.
Jie Li did not dare to respond, so he went on horseback and fled, and his troops were even more disbanded.
Su Dingfang pursued thirty miles all the way. After a fierce battle, Jie Li and his son Diluo Shi were both captured alive. They married Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, Jie Li Khan, and Jie Li Khan's father and son brother. They were also captured together in the 30th year of the Turkic period.
When the news was sent to Youzhou, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda were both shocked and quickly led their troops to the north to respond. Li Jing was still looking for Jie Li's traces. He was also very surprised to hear that Su Dingfang from Cheng Yaojin's tribe had already captured Jie Li.
After confirming that he was speechless, he quickly rode fast to Chang'an and called the emperor to win!
When Li Shimin heard this good news, he laughed happily and even danced directly in the hall in front of all the officials!
Chapter completed!
