    The fighting in Shoujiang City was in full swing, and Zheng Yanqing and Chen Yuan, who were still on the front line of Dajin Mountain, were already getting angry.

    It was not unknown to the two that Zhi Lifa's army had moved westward, but due to the restrictions of the troops and officials coming and going from Shengzhou, they could not leave Dajin Mountain openly.

    This delay gave Qi Lifa a gap and put Datong into danger.

    When Li Zixiao¡¯s letter asking for help was sent to Dajin Mountain, Chen Yuan and Zheng Yanqing were both stunned. They did not expect that Qi Lifa would be so crazy.  Risking destruction to attack Datong, so what if we succeed.  The two of them had forgotten that Qi Lifa coveted Datong's supplies.

    But the matter is already like this, and it is useless to discuss the reasons and responsibilities.  The two were worried that Datong's current strength alone would not be able to stop Qi Li's attack by tens of thousands of elite Turkic troops.  There are wars on all sides of Datong, and they can't control the life or death of Datong. Now they are the only ones who can save Datong.

    But in the vast Yinshan Mountains, it is not that easy to successfully rescue.

    The distance from Shouxiang City to the front line of Dajin Mountain was nearly 350 miles (380 miles today). Along the way there were steep mountains, dense forests and canyons, making it very difficult to walk.  If Zheng Yanqing and others wanted to rush to Shoujiang City as soon as possible, they could only go west along the south side of Yinshan Mountain and Dajin Mountain.

    But everyone is staring at Dajin Mountain from front to back.

    Chen Yuan and Zheng Yanqing discussed that Chen Yuan and Yan Xiaowu would lead more than a thousand people from the former Datong Army to set off from the south side of the nearest Yinshan Mountain and go straight to the surrender city to reinforce the local defense forces.  Zhang Wenyuan, on the other hand, led the Yulin Army's cavalry out of Dajin Mountain in the name of patrol, all the way to the west, marching day and night north of Yinshan Mountain, heading straight to the Sinyang Old Fortress, so as to block the return route of the Turkic army heading south in one fell swoop.

    As for the infantry of the Jinhe Army and the Yulin Army under Zheng Yanqing, Zheng Yanqing used the strategy of sending out more and advancing less in order to secretly dispatch thousands of them.  Zheng Yanqing, with General Cai Zhiyun as the main general, secretly marched westward along the mountain trails of Yinshan Mountain as the second wave of reinforcements.

    The destination of reinforcements from all ministries is the surrendered city.  Datong City has reached its most critical moment, and the rescue troops, both light and dark, are throwing off their arms and galloping all the way.  At this time, Huang Mingyuan finally showed his foresight in training the troops' ability to conduct long-distance attacks.  If it wasn¡¯t for that big running exercise, how could we get back on this mountain road of more than 300 miles?

    Yan Xiaowu ordered the more than a thousand infantrymen under his command to discard all unnecessary supplies, advance lightly, and run forward on the rugged and steep mountain roads. Even if the army ran to death, it would have to fall on its head in the direction of the surrender city.  This army climbed over mountains and ridges, overcame thorns and thorns, and attacked for more than 150 miles day and night.

    As an infantryman, it took more than two days and nights to cover the 350 miles of road. The inspection was unimaginable. This group of exhausted but still high-spirited troops appeared behind the Turks like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

    In order to avoid the Turks' reconnaissance cavalry, Zhang Wenyuan's troops made a circle and headed west.

    The army was approaching the city of Shoujiang. Zhang Wenyuan's reconnaissance cavalry detected that it turned out that in order to avoid making the same mistake as Dulan Khan and prevent the Sui army from raiding and causing the entire army to lose supplies, he sent all the old and weak soldiers to the army.  The sick and disabled tribesmen, cattle, sheep, grain, grass and baggage and other supplies were gathered together and placed in Xiyang fortress in the northeast of Shoujiang City (near today's Guyang, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region).

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  Jinyang Fortress was gradually abandoned after the barbarians entered the Central Plains at the end of the Han Dynasty. After the Sui army reduced its defense line to the south of Yinshan Mountain, it became an important route for the Turks to herd horses southward.

    There are high mountains on both sides of Xiyang Fortress, leaving only a road in the middle. Zhang Wenyuan wanted to keep the Turks here, so he decided to secretly attack the Turks' remaining camp, break through Xiyang Fortress, and block the Turks' northward retreat.  Through the road.

    Qi Lifa did not think that the Sui army would bypass Xiyang Sai to sneak attack on his back, so he did not leave many people in Xiyang Sai.  This time they were attacked suddenly, and the Turkic soldiers who stayed behind at Siyang Fortress were even more shocked when they saw the Sui cavalry all over the mountains and plains.  There was no time to set up defenses, and the formation was broken up by the Sui army's cavalry.  The remaining Turks were mainly old and weak and could not bear to fight, so they had no choice but to flee to the valley of Senan in Sinyang.

    Zhang Wenyuan was still waiting to suddenly appear behind Qi Lifa. At this time, he couldn't let them leave easily, so he launched his troops to pursue them.

    Both sides chased and escaped, and neither stopped until they reached the mouth of the valley.  Seeing that the mouth of the valley was narrow, the Sui army could not deploy their formation and swarmed forward, while the Turkic Ashina Bale led his elite troops to gather at the mouth of the valley to the north to hold on.

    Seeing the Sui army approaching, Ashinabal hurriedly ordered people to use carts to block the entrance of the valley.  There are still Turks who have not escaped, wailing and gasping, trying to escape.In the valley.  This Ashina Bale was also vicious and quickly ordered to shoot the fleeing Turks with bows and arrows to prevent them from disrupting the defenses at the mouth of the valley.

    Zhang Wen saw a large number of carts gathered at the entrance of the valley, and the cavalry could not pass through or dismount quickly, so he ordered his troops to hold the entrance of the valley and set up a feint attack on the valley to attract the attention of the Turks.  He also ordered his subordinates to lead hundreds of cavalry around the path behind these Turks, set fire to them at night, and beat drums and shout.

    The Turks in the valley did not know how many people the Sui army was attacking. They thought that the Sui army had defeated the main force of Qi Lifa and came from the direction of Datong, so they fled one after another.

    Zhang Wenyuan drove his troops forward and fought all the way into the valley.

    The barbarians had no way to escape, so Zhang Wenyuan took advantage of the situation and pursued him, crossing Xiyang fortress all the way and opening up the road behind Qi Lifa.  In this battle, Zhang Wenyuan took the lead and was hit by arrows. The Turks' bows and arrows pierced Zhang Wenyuan's calf, and blood flowed all over the horse's belly.  Zhang Wenyuan, however, stood still, sitting on his horse and continuing to charge.

    The Turks looked at Zhang Wenyuan who looked like a bloody man with fear.

    The main force of the Sui army pursued the defeated army all the way, galloping back and forth, until it stopped in front of the army that was about to attack.

    In this battle, the Sui army went on a killing spree, completely wiping out the old battalion of the Turks. There were thousands of beheadings alone.  The cattle, sheep, grain and other supplies that filled the entire valley overwhelmed everyone, exceeding everyone's imagination.

    This time, the expedition lasted for many days, and they worked hard to contain the Sui army. However, after several battles, they suffered heavy losses. In the end, all the gains were obtained by Zhang Wenyuan.

    Zhang Wenyuan continued to gather his troops and blocked the main road for the Turks to flee north.  He decided to attack directly forward, preparing to surround all of Qi Lifa's troops under the surrender city in one fell swoop and annihilate his army.

    This battle made Zhang Wenyuan full of fear, and also made Zhang Wenyuan fierce. He wanted everyone to know that there is no return in Datong City.  Any barbarian who dares to invade Datong City will be killed no matter how strong he is.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
