A goshawk flying from Kawakou City fell into Dali City. After a moment, a hawk slave ran towards him quickly with a red message tube in his hand, "Maintain, Kawakou is urgently reported!"

The dazzling red color of the tube made Yang Yuanqing feel an ominous omen. He took the tube and shook a roll of thin silk from it. The news from Hekou City made his worries a reality. Yongfeng County was captured by 70,000 Turkic troops, and nearly 7,000 defenders died in battle one after another. The general He Liujia was killed in battle. The remaining three thousand remaining troops retreated to Hekou City under the leadership of Deputy General Cui Pojun...

Yang Yuanqing sighed deeply. He could imagine the tragic war in Yongfeng City. Seven thousand people were killed in the 10,000 Sui army and even the main general was killed. He Liujia was the original Yang Qilang, and he was the first brother to be killed in the 18 Iron Shadow Guards.

But at this time, Yang Yuanqing had no time to be sad. The severe situation was before him. Can Pei Renji and his son and 18,000 defenders in Hekou City defend the last pass? If Hekou is lost, the gate to Lingwu County will be opened. The six cities in Lingwu County are relatively low and cannot withstand the attack of the Turkic army's sharp weapon.

Yang Yuanqing knew that he had to make a decision. He pondered for a moment and decisively ordered: "Immediately send the Eagle Letter to Jiuyuan City, order Su Lie to give up Jiuyuan City, meet with Li Jing, and support Hekou City."

Yang Yuanqing looked at the more than a thousand Sui troops who were repairing the city walls. He issued a second order, "Destroy all the catapults on the outer city, and order all the defenders to withdraw from the middle city and give up the outer city!"

The commander's order puzzled the soldiers. The loose walls of the outer city could be repaired, and most of the catapults were intact and still had great lethality. Why should we abandon the city?

A group of generals rushed forward and begged Yang Yuanqing, "Master General, we can defend the outer city, we cannot give up!"

Yang Yuanqing looked at his expectant and begging eyes and shook his head. "I know everyone can defend it, but you may not know that Yongfeng City has been broken. In order to drag the main force of the Turkic Army to Dali City, we must give up the outer city and use it as bait to hook the main force of the Turkic Army. This is a necessary strategic concession. Don't ask for battle again. Please retreat according to your order!"

Everyone retreated silently. Teams of Sui army and militia carried various supplies and began to retreat along the suspension bridge to the semicircular midtown, and the bed crossbows and stone cannons also evacuated at the same time. Hundreds of soldiers poured tinders on the catapult and began to burn them. A raging fire ignited on the outer city.

Qin Qiong frowned and asked Yang Yuanqing. "Master General, can you hook up the Turks in this way?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "You don't understand the status of Dali City in the hearts of the Turks. This city is a monument of shame in their hearts. I know very well that Duji is extremely arrogant in his bones. Other Turkish generals may want to burn, kill, loot, but for him, leveling Dali City and getting my head is much more important than burning, killing, looting. He will definitely stay and seize Dali City."

Qin Qiong pondered for a moment and said, "He can use military tactics to leave Dali City to feint attack Hekou City, and force the general manager to give up Dali City and help Hekou, and then he will attack Dali City again. Beizhi believes that he will probably adopt such a strategy."

"You are right, so I have to give up the outer city. I think that with the temptation of the outer city of Italy, it will be difficult for him to spit it out again once he swallows this bait."

Yang Yuanqing smiled and patted Qin Qiong on the shoulder. He walked quickly towards the middle city, but Qin Qiong still felt something was wrong. He caught up with Yang Yuanqing and asked: "If the Turkic army controls the outer city and divides part of the army to assist Hekou, has the general manager thought of this danger?"

Yang Yuanqing stopped and looked back at him, with a sly smile in his eyes, "This is exactly what I hope will happen."

.........

As the Sui army abandoned the outer city, the Turkic army occupied the outer city after one day of observation under the cover of thick fog the next day. Shibi Khan was not in a hurry to attack, but ordered the army to demolish all the buildings in the outer city and razed the outer city to the ground. He ordered half of the army to enter the outer city and prepare to attack the middle city. In order to increase the pressure on Yang Yuanqing and open up the road to the south as soon as possible, Shibi Khan ordered the ten thousand men Daman to lead 30,000 troops to support Ashinaduo who attacked Hekou City.

The battle of Dali City was in a stalemate, but the entire Fengzhou battle situation was reversed in a small village.

About 150 miles southwest of Dali City, there is a city called Anyuan. Within the administrative division of Wuyuan County, it is called Anyuan County. It has more than 10,000 households under its jurisdiction. The city is not large and can only accommodate more than 2,000 residents. The rest are distributed on both sides of three huge irrigation canals in the form of villages. The land here is fertile, the water source is sufficient, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land. It is an important grain-producing county in Wuyuan County.

In addition to the vast fertile fields around Anyuan County, there are low and undulating hills, with large forests distributed on the hills, hundreds of acres and dozens of hectares of large ones, just like beautiful turquoise embedded in the vast and abundant land of the Hetao Plain.

Like other counties, residents of Anyuan County gradually retreated south to Lingwu County a month or two ago. Anyuan County was already an empty city, and villages became deserted. At night, it became dead silent.

But the arrival of the Turkic army broke this silence. Shibi Khan ordered Wang Shu Ashinakunji to lead his army of 30,000 to destroy the cities, villages and farmlands in Fengzhou. Ashinji divided his troops into ten directions, from the east, middle and west to south, sweeping across Fengzhou counties. Wherever the army passed, the city collapsed, villages burned, and farmlands trampled on. All agricultural civilizations disappeared under the iron hoof of the grassland army.

But soon, an abnormal situation occurred. Two Turkic troops swept through Wuhai County on the east road were wiped out by a Sui cavalry and more than 6,000 people were killed. This news made Asuna Kunji very angry. He vowed to kill all of the Sui army to relieve his hatred.

Anyuan County belongs to the scope of the Turkic army's sweep in the middle. The three Turkic army needs to carry out five consecutive sweeps from north to south and then from south to north, destroying all villages and cities within a 60-mile radius.

In the early morning, heavy fog enveloped the field, and milky white mist seemed to be a curtain falling from the world, making the world vast. The forests, villages and rivers in the distance were covered by curtains. Only when you walk within a hundred steps can you find an irrigation canal. When you get closer, you will find a large camp of Turks next to the irrigation canal. There are not many tents, only more than a hundred tents, and groups of war horses are tied to the tent. From the number of war horses, you can infer that the number of this Turkic army is only one thousand, which is much smaller than the ten normal Turkic army.

Several Sui cavalry scouts appeared not far from the camp. After observing for a while, they rushed to the south.

They ran about twenty miles southward and rushed directly into a forest covering an area of ​​several hectares. There was a Sui army hidden in the forest, with about five thousand people, which were the five thousand cavalry led by Li Jing.

Li Jing received Yang Yuanqing's mission to destroy a small group of Turkic troops in Fengzhou. The ten sweeping troops of Asunji were the targets of their hunt. Li Jing had hunted two Turkic troops in a row, a total of 6,000 people, all of which were completed by sneak attacks, but he was extremely cruel and killed all the Turkic troops, leaving no one behind, and even a prisoner of war was not allowed.

A scout rode a horse to a small tent, turned over and dismounted. A soldier immediately entered the tent and reported it. After a moment, he came out and said to the scout, "Sima ordered you to go in!"

In the camp, Li Jing was standing in front of a sand table to check the surrounding terrain. This sand table was made of the real terrain of Fengzhou. It was made of rivers, canals, cities, villages, bridges, hills, and forests. It could be very intuitive to understand the surrounding situation. Li Jing paid special attention to the right time and place in wars, and was good at using surprise troops to win.

He planted a small red flag into a forest, where he was stationed. At this time, the scouts were walking into the camp and knelt down on one knee to salute, "I'm not here to see Sima!"

Li Jing nodded and asked with a smile: "Is there any gain?"

"Report to Sima, we found a Turkic military camp with about a hundred large tents along the Han Dynasty's three canals twenty miles north. We found a thousand war horses."

Li Jing frowned. There were only a thousand war horses. The Turks would have one man and two horses, but there would never be two men and one horse. There would be no one with a hundred large tents, and it would be impossible for only five hundred people. From this point of view, it can be inferred that the Turkic army had about a thousand people.

But why are there only a thousand people, not the normal three thousand people? His eyes were focused on the sand table. Han Sanqu was about four miles away from here. He walked along the canal and walked north to twenty miles, asking the scout, "Is it this?"

The scout looked at it and nodded, "It's here!"

Li Jing planted a small white flag and looked around the Turkic garrison. It was quite far from the Qu Bridge, and the nearest bridge was twenty miles away. His eyes fell to the west of the garrison. At this time, he unexpectedly discovered that there were two forests five miles away from the Turkic garrison, one south and one north, standing in a triangular position with the Turkic garrison. In the middle of the two forests was a ditch between hills, called Xujiagou, two miles wide and seven or eight miles long. A village was distributed, and a small river flowed through the village.

Li Jing looked at the two forests and the Turkic army's garrison. He couldn't help but breathe. This was a typical triangular killing. If there were ambushes in the two forests, he could not escape eastward, and he would be intercepted and killed by the Turkic army regardless of north and south.

Li Jing immediately understood that these thousand Turkic troops were actually a bait. He should have a heavy army beneath the two forests. He annihilated two Turkic troops in a row, which posed a huge threat to them. They wanted to get rid of themselves at any cost.

Li Jing pondered for a moment, then pointed to the two forests and said to the scout: "You quick-sell brothers to explore these two forests to see if there are ambushers. If so, how many are there?"

In fact, Li Jing can already guess that if there are really ambushes, it shouldn't be less than 20,000 people, but the problem is that he only has 5,000 people, how can he wipe out the other side?
