    Time waits for no one, and Chen Yuan is ready to take action against the Turks before the news of the destruction of the Arre tribe reaches back.

    After the Sui army reorganized for half a day, Zheng Yanqing targeted the Shdro army stationed in the abandoned Heicheng northwest of Baidao (near today's Wuchuan County, Inner Mongolia).  There were no less than 10,000 people under Shidro's troops, and they echoed each other in the east and west of Dajin Mountain.

    Fortunately, Shidro still doesn't know that the Sui army appeared in the area north of Dajin Mountain.

    As long as the Sui army defeated Shidero, their immediate expedition would be limited to the area west of Dajin Mountain.  At that time, relying on Dajin Mountain as an advancing base, the Sui army can separate the Qilifa Department and the Sui Army in Hedong, and wait to annihilate the Qilifa Department.

    However, the strength of Shidro's troops made Chen Yuan a little afraid.  Schroeder's army had 12,000 to 3,000 cavalry, most of whom were veterans who had followed Bujia Khan on the grasslands. They were strong-willed and capable of fighting.

    " Moreover, both Baidao and Heicheng belong to the Yunzhou area, and Heicheng is the first fortress guarding the eastern part of Dajin Mountain. The city is high in the mountains and steep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. It cannot be captured by ordinary forces.

    But to defeat Qi Lifa, we must first break the dichotomy between Qi Lifa and Shidro. Compared with Qi Lifa's troops, Shidro's troops are better to attack.  The Sui army was prepared to do the easy thing first and then the difficult one. As soon as the Shideluo tribe was eliminated, Zhi Lifa was semi-surrounded by the Sui army. By the time Zhi Lifa discovered his situation, he had already fallen into the trap of the Sui army.

    Therefore, Zheng Yanqing and Chen Yuan decided to use all their troops in this battle, trying to win the battle in the shortest possible time and then return quickly.

    Zheng Yanqing and others made a military plan and were preparing to go out. When the scouts here came to report the military situation of Shidero's tribe, everyone was surprised again.

    It turns out that Shidro saw that his move in Heicheng had been delayed for a long time, so he left only a small number of troops to stay in Heicheng. After leading the main force through Baidao, he marched towards Yuanyang Town.

    Since Yuanyang Town was raided by Pugu Zhenge from the Pugu tribe, the city was damaged, the border residents dispersed, and no effective defense was established.  Yunzhou's troops were weak to begin with, so they just randomly arranged a few people to garrison here, acting as sentinels.  This was also the biggest reason why Shidro dared to take the initiative when ordered to fight the Sui army.

    This is also the reason why the Sui army built Dali City here and gave it to Qimin Khan to garrison. Now everyone in the court does not pay attention to Yunzhou, and most of Yunzhou has become the territory of Qimin Khan.

    Dali City is just south of Yuanyang Town, but if we expect Qimin Khan to rescue Yuanyang Town, we don¡¯t know how long it will take.

    But this does not mean that Yuanyang Town is unimportant. From Yuanyang Town to the southeast and northwest, all are good routes for assault, whether it is to attack Shengzhou along the Jinhe River to the west, or to enter Qifubo along the mountains northeast of the river to the west.  , the Sui army was unable to defend itself.

    But since Shidro dared to come, Zheng Yanqing decided to block Shidro within Dajin Mountain.

    The army was mobilized immediately, and Zheng Yanqing ordered Cai Zhiyun to lead 900 Jinhe Army cavalry as the vanguard to quickly attack eastward, pass through the canyon of Baidao (now Centipede Dam in Qingshan, Beida, Hohhot), and go straight to Yuanyang Town.  Baidaoguan winds and stretches for dozens of miles, winding around Dajin Mountain, like a long centipede crawling from the mountainside to the top of the high mountain, also known as Centipede Dam.

    The Black City is in the north. Zheng Yanqing was not in a hurry to capture the Black City. Instead, he followed Cai Zhiyun and headed east.  Chen Yuan had previously mobilized all the war horses from Datong, Jinhe, and Yulin for use, so the Sui army's infantry was all mounted infantry.

    At this time, Shidro originally thought that the raid on Yuanyang Town was a clever move. If it went well, he could also go straight to Dali City and kill Qimin Khan.  However, the Sui army was like a mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind.

    The situation was originally very smooth. After Shidero's troops crossed the Jinhe River, they headed straight for Yuanyang Town. The stationed Sui troops did not make any resistance at all and fled.

    While Shidro set up a large camp in Yuanyang Town as an advance base, he ordered his troops to plunder and harass Qimin Khan from all directions.

    What Shidro didn't know at this time was that behind him, an army suddenly appeared like magic soldiers descending from the sky.

    Cai Zhiyun's troops made rapid progress. They drove straight in and reached the north bank of the Jin River.  At this time, Shidro had not noticed the movements of the Sui army.

    Cai Zhiyun rested for a while north of Jinhe. After Huang Mingzheng and Zhang Wenyuan's cavalry arrived behind him, he immediately crossed the river.

    At this time, the water flow of the Jinhe River was large and the current was turbulent. People and horses could not cross the river directly, and there were no boats to build pontoons.

    Seeing that the army was blocked by the Jin River, at night, Cai Zhiyun ordered people to cross the river secretly with a few hemp ropes tied to his body, and pulled a familiar horizontal rope on the Jin River.  The Sui army cut down a batch of wood from the north bank of the river overnight and tied them up.?, and connected with the previous hemp rope to barely make a floating bridge.

    Newly cut trees have not been shade-dried or painted, so they have a lot of water and low buoyancy. However, if a large number of them are connected together, they can barely float in the water.

    Cai Zhiyun ordered the horse to pick the bell, and the man held the bell, and quietly crossed the Jinhe River.

    At this time, Yuanyang Town was brightly lit, but it was not the common people and soldiers of the Han family, but the settlement of the Turks who had turned this place into a large camp.

    There are Turkic tents and bonfires everywhere in the town. From a distance, it looks like the sky is filled with stars, which is also spectacular.

    According to reports from scouts, there were only three to four thousand Turks in Yuanyang Town at this time, which was not much different from the Sui army's strength.  Moreover, these Turkic cavalry are all inferior soldiers with weak field combat capabilities.

    Coach Zhang Wenyuan felt relieved at this time, and without waiting for the main force of the Sui army led by Chen Yuan and Zheng Yanqing behind him, he headed straight to Yuanyang Town with Cai Zhiyun and Huang Mingzheng.  The sudden intrusion of the Sui army caught the Turks off guard and made them confused.  But Shidro was a famous general. Even in such a critical situation, he was not afraid of danger. He led his soldiers to kill dozens of fleeing soldiers, and ordered his subordinates to raise his banner to gather the army, which actually propped up the situation that was about to collapse.  stand up.

    Yuanyang Town is much larger than ordinary camps, and there are many houses in the town, but they are connected to each other by a few roads.  The Turks occupied the main road and set up camp. Although they were hacked and killed by the Sui army and dispersed innumerable numbers, they also blocked the Sui army's offensive route and slowed down the Sui army's speed. As a result, the Sui army's formation did not rise.

    The Sui army rushed forward suddenly, but there were Turkic troops everywhere, and it was impossible to effectively open up the situation.  Under the command of Shidro, the Turks fortified the Sui army layer by layer, using space to gain time to reorganize their defenses. In the end, they stabilized the situation and began to counterattack the Sui army's assault in an organized manner.

    Seeing that the Sui army could not attack for a long time, the situation became unstable again.  Zhang Wenyuan knew very well that if they were to stalemate with the main force of the Turks in Yuanyang Town, even if they could win today, the casualties would not be small. These are their elite seeds and cannot be wasted in Yuanyang Town.  And if time goes by, the Turkic reinforcements will return.

    The Sui army was in a dilemma.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
