    After taking almost half a day to reach Juhu Gorge, Huang Mingyuan arranged for his men to build fortifications here, preparing to ambush the opponent.

    Huang Mingyuan also has a big killer weapon in his hand, which is the twenty bed crossbows he brought from Fengzhou. This is why he dares to fight this battle here.  After leaving Datong at that time, just in case, Huang Mingyuan removed ten crossbows from the wall of Fengzhou Datong, and borrowed ten more from Yu Juluo, all of which were brought by Huang Mingyuan.

    At that time, Huang Mingyuan disassembled these bed crossbows and used a cart to pull the parts. Now he has installed all these bed crossbows and placed them on the high ground on both wings.

    Huang Mingyuan dug two deep trenches in the front, and asked people to move huge rocks to block the gap in the front.  He first asked Huang Mingzhen to lead more than a thousand cavalry commanded by Governor Pang Yu to ambush on the mountains on both sides of the trench, and then arranged for Ou Yan and Zhang Changxun to lead the cavalry to ambush in the hills southwest of the entrance of Juhu Canyon.

    The rugged mountain road, in this narrow space, can limit the mobility of the Turkic cavalry to the greatest extent.

    In front of the trench, there is an infantry formation ready to attack.  The swordsmen were on both sides of the formation, with the spearmen in the middle and the front row, and the crossbowmen at the back.  When chaos breaks out, they are waiting for the panicked Hulu to crash into the Sui army's strong formation.

    And the Turkic general Gebu, who was seventy miles away, was still rapidly heading towards Shizuishan.

    The reason why he was so quick was that not long ago, Bujia Khan sent someone to inform him that the Nili Khan and Buli Khan of the Western Turks who originally harassed Hexi were now building a plank road in the open, secretly visiting Chencang, bypassing Hexi, and leading ten  Ten thousand troops attacked Lingzhou directly, cutting off Yang Guang's retreat.

    After the Wenchi battle, Yang Guang went north, and Lingzhou was empty. Ge Bu was ready to speed up his march to Lingzhou.  If Nili Khan and others were really allowed to come and conquer Lingzhou first, then the Great Khan would have worked so hard to fight this battle in the north, but all the benefits would be given to Nili Khan and others.

    Ge Bu galloped all the way eastward, and only after halfway through Youshi did he finally enter the trail to the west of Juhu Gorge.  Because Ge Bu believed that the Sui army would not have expected their surprise attack, and he was afraid that sending out a large number of sentries would alert the enemy.  Instead, the Turkic army relaxed its vigilance against the Sui army.

    Ge Bu is going to march another 20 miles eastward to camp at Weilu Ridge (today's Bayinhuduge area), and head south to raid the Sui army's Shizuishan early tomorrow morning.

    At this time, the sky is getting dark, the night is hazy, and the shadows of the swaying trees in the mountains are eerie.

    Gebu was very vigilant and stretched the queue to prevent crowding.

    At this time, we passed two narrow paths and entered the Juhu Gorge triangle area.  Ge Bu, who was leading the army, looked far into the distance and saw something vaguely blocking the way due east.

    There was a large army and the road was narrow and it was difficult to change the route. Gebu hurriedly ordered his men to go and investigate.

    "Boom!"

    The sound of something heavy falling to the ground echoed in the canyon and spread for a long time.

    Ge Bu was startled and hurriedly ordered the army to stand by and find out what happened.  At this time, a bright red color rose from the northeast of the canyon, which was very coquettish.

    A huge red lantern rises slowly.

    Ge Bu was startled, knowing that something was wrong, there was an ambush in the valley.

    Before Ge Bu could react, countless rolling logs and rocks were smashed down on both sides of the canyon.  Then countless firelights flickered on both sides, and then fire dragons rushed towards the Turkic army at the bottom of the valley from far to near.

    "ah!"

    The crossbows on the mountain bed moved at high speed, and the spears opened bloody paths in the Turkic army.

    "Retreat quickly!"

    Ge Bu subconsciously wanted to walk backwards, but he forgot the restrictions of the terrain of Juhu Gorge.

    This is a natural ambush battlefield, wide in the middle and flat at both ends.  Moreover, there is a mountain ridge in the middle of the Western Avenue, which divides the entire road into two trails.  Entering the valley, the three paths turned into three shackles, and everyone was firmly locked in the valley.

    At this time, the Turkic soldiers were stunned by the ambush of the Sui army. They were fire dragons and crossbowmen. God knows how many people there were in the Sui army.  The Turkic soldiers fled back in panic.

    But it was easy to get in but difficult to get out. The two trails were narrow and not easy to pass. The Sui army's rolling logs and rocks blocked most of the road.  The Turkic soldiers are all cavalry. It would be difficult to turn around when they are crowded here. How can it be so easy to squeeze from a spacious place to a narrow area.

    At this time, drums sounded from the top of the mountain, shaking the entire canyon.

    The Turkic cavalry, who were still crowded, had no time to take precautions. They saw a cavalryman on each side of the mountain brandishing a horizontal sword, like a sharp blade, inserting into the Turkic troops.  Like the bloodthirsty Yin soldiers, they killed the Turkic soldiers in fear at night.  The Sui army also killed the Turkic troops as they wished.After a few cuts, he gained the advantage on the battlefield.

    Seeing the sound of drums, Zhang Changxun and Ou Yan from the southwest also rushed down from the hidden hills and charged towards the rear of the Turkic troops.

    At this time, there were actually some Turkic troops outside who had not come in. After all, the Juhu Gorge was a bit narrow.  But it was the Turkic troops outside who were trying to come in that blocked the Turkic troops inside who were trying to escape. They faced each other and crowded together, which became the result of the Sui army's victory.

    Seeing that the Sui army was huge and spread all over the mountains and fields, and the Sui army cavalry attacked from the rear, on the contrary, only crossbowmen attacked from the front, and no cavalry could be seen.  Ge Bu knew that he should make a decisive decision at this time, abandon the tail that could no longer be taken away, and break out from the front.

    After all, the Sui army underestimated them and restrained him thinking they had blocked his retreat. However, he did not expect that the elite cavalry under his command could tear a gap in the front of the Sui army's infantry and break out of the encirclement.

    Ge Bu gave an order, and the cavalry who was trying to retreat was directed to rush forward.

    After all, compared to the quieter front, the countless Sui cavalry behind were more terrifying.

    "Follow me and rush eastward, let them see the glory of the great Turkic warriors."

    Gebu's courage barely calmed the panicked soldiers, and immediately a general took orders to go to the place where the arrows were flying in front.  But within a few dozen steps of the galloping horse, there was a burst of people turning their backs on their backs, and dust was flying.  At this time, everyone discovered that it was a deep pit that blocked the cavalry's progress.

    Seeing this, Ge Bu was not angry but happy. It was just as he thought. The Sui army did not have many cavalry, so they only placed the cavalry behind the formation, but there were no cavalry in front, otherwise the opponent would not have dug so many trenches.

    Since there is a way out ahead, what about the trenches? The worst case scenario is to fill them in.

    ??The crazy war horses rushed forward, braving the attack of arrows and boulders, and refused to retreat.  Ge Bu finally filled in the trench and rushed in front of the Sui infantry on the opposite side.

    Arrows are raining down from the front, and in front are spearmen standing with spears.

    Twenty steps away from the Sui army's formation, the spearman suddenly pulled out a short spear from behind, and three hundred people threw it towards the opposite side at the same time.  The short spear was more powerful than the bow and arrow, and it immediately nailed countless cavalry to the ground.

    The Turks' offensive was blocked.

    This method of throwing short spears was devised by Huang Mingyuan in later generations after seeing the tactics of the Xiliang soldiers of the Three Kingdoms. It is an important method for killing cavalry within a short distance.

    Suddenly, Ge Bu, who was moving forward, had panic in his eyes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
