    After Huang Mingyuan's army arrived at Weilu City, Huang Mingyuan began to set up a defense line.

    Huang Mingyuan first placed all the civilians, cattle, sheep, horses, supplies, herdsmen, and Turkic women and children among the generals in Weilu City, and then used carts to block the damaged areas of Weilu City to prevent communication with the outside world.  Huang Mingyuan placed the main force of Dong Chun's cavalry on the hill where Weilu City was located, and deployed it along the surrounding areas of Weilu City, allowing them to command a commanding position and control the city, thus relieving the Sui army's worries.

    Huang Mingyuan set up an infantry formation due north of Weilu City with more than 20,000 infantry. In front of the formation, trenches were dug, carts were arranged, and horses were blocked. Crossbows were set up behind the formation. Dong Chun's subordinate Han Shi'er, who joined the army, led a small number of cavalry on both wings.  The raiding formation set up the entire Sui army's infantry formation to be foolproof.

    Huang Mingyuan himself held the infantry position and ordered Dong Chun to lead the cavalry to guard L¨¹ City on the hill.

    Not long after, Zhang Wenyuan¡¯s troops arrived at Weilu City.  Zheng Yanqing was worried that Huang Mingyuan had few troops, so when he moved eastward, he ordered Zhang Wenyuan to lead his cavalry south to Weilu City to support Huang Mingyuan.

    Zhang Wenyuan not only brought a new force to Huang Mingyuan, but also brought back the news that Zheng Yanqing's troops defeated the main force of the Bayegu tribe twice and killed tens of thousands of his cavalry.

    Huang Mingyuan was overjoyed after hearing this. As a result, the Bayagu tribe would no longer have an absolute advantage among the Tiele coalition forces. Moreover, with its repeated defeats, its control over the Tiele coalition forces would be greatly reduced.  The pressure that Lucheng has to face is also much smaller.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan's Chinese army formed a large formation. Counting Han Shi'e's cavalry, armored cavalry, Langya Jingcai and Zhang Wenyuan's troops, there were a total of 8,000 cavalry. In conjunction with the infantry formation, Huang Mingyuan was not afraid of the coming battle.

    The Sui army built a high platform several feet high on one side of Weilu City to observe the surrounding movements.

    Huang Mingyuan climbed up and looked far away, and could already see the billowing smoke and dust in the north. He thought that Qu Gureng was not far away from him.  At this time, his scouts reported back. Sure enough, the main force of the Tiele coalition led by Qu Gureng was only twenty or thirty miles away from Huang Mingyuan's infantry formation, and was heading towards Weilu City.

    Huang Mingyuan was so happy that he ordered all his tribes to prepare for the battle.

    After Zheng Yanqing¡¯s conscious temptation, Qu Gureng finally arrived near Weilu City.

    The war is about to break out.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    Around midnight on the morning of the 5th, while chasing Zheng Yanqing's troops, the sentries of Qu Guring's troops discovered the appearance of a large group of Sui troops in the southeast, and immediately reported to Qu Guring.

    When Qu Gureng heard that a large group of Sui troops had appeared, he was startled. He immediately thought that Zheng Yanqing was a bait. Huang Mingyuan had laid the main force here to fight with him, so he subconsciously wanted to withdraw his troops.

    Until the second wave of sentry cavalry reported back, the main force of the entire Sui army was stationed under the original Weilu City. They were mainly infantry and not many cavalry. There were also many cavalrymen guarding the city, totaling 30,000 to 40,000 people.  Only then did Qu Guling calm down and think about the unknown enemy situation.

    These 30,000 to 40,000 Sui troops, plus the tens of thousands of Sui army cavalry that he was chasing, were only 40,000 to 50,000, which was far less than he had imagined.

    Qu Gureng did not know the true strength of the Sui army, but the Sui army claimed to have a main force of 400,000, and it was going to conquer the country in the Northern Expedition. Although the real situation was not that many, there were still more than 100,000 troops.  This is also the reason why Qu Gureng has never dared to fight the Sui army. After all, the Sui Dynasty was huge and could not be shaken by the small bodies of the Tiele tribe.

    Thinking about it now, Qu Guling felt that he had over exaggerated the strength of the Sui army.  It is true that the Sui army was powerful, but its army's thousands-mile expedition consumed a huge amount of money. No matter how powerful the Sui's national power was, it was impossible to supply most of the army's expedition.  Moreover, according to reports from spies in the Turkic Yazhang, Huang Mingyuan and Bujia Khan fought in Muzhuling. The decisive battle between the two sides was unprecedentedly fierce, and Bujia Khan was defeated in the end.  At that time, he was afraid of the power of the Sui army. Now that he thought about it, in such a decisive battle, the Sui army would probably suffer heavy losses.

    Qu Gureng slapped his thigh and jumped up happily.

    Yes, the main force of the Sui army fought a decisive battle with Bujia Khan. Even if the loss was one to one, there were heavy casualties. The Sui army had more than 100,000 soldiers heading north. After deducting the casualties, there were only 40,000 to 50,000 people left.  When I saw Sui army reinforcements arriving that day, I was frightened and immediately withdrew my troops. Now that I think about it, there were not many Sui army reinforcements that day, and they were mainly from the Qimin Department. Huang Mingyuan should have suffered heavy losses.

    If there are tens of thousands of infantry troops, Qu Gulen may not have no chance.

    At this time, the third group of sentries also returned to resume their orders. The Sui army settled in Weilu City with the Hun tribe, the Atui tribe and other tribes, as well as tens of thousands of civilians, tens of thousands of women and children, and millions of cattle, sheep, and horses.  Send the main cavalry to protect it.

    At this time, everyone in Tiele tribes was excited.

    Don¡¯t mention itThe Hun tribe, the Adui tribe and other tribes were just tens of thousands of civilians, tens of thousands of women and children, and millions of cattle, sheep, and horses of the Sui army. Once they were eaten, the entire Tiele tribe would immediately rise.  Looking at it now, these are all captured after the decisive battle between the Sui army and the Turks, and they are the savings of the Turks for decades.

    At this time, everyone did not care about the fear of the Sui army, and their eyes were full of greed.

    At this time, Pugu Yichu, the chief of the Pugu tribe, immediately asked for a fight.

    ¡°Great Chief, if we can capture the Turks¡¯ decades of savings, we will have no worries about food and drink in the future.¡±

    The eyes of all the tribesmen were gleaming in the first round. Even the tribal leaders such as Hunbu and Adibu were staring at Qu Gureng closely, fearing that Qu Gureng would say no.

    Qu Gureng said deliberately: "I'm afraid that the Sui army deliberately lured me here. After all, its cavalry has not discovered it yet. If our army has a decisive battle with Huang Mingyuan's main force and his cavalry suddenly attacks me, what will happen?"

    "It's just a mere ten thousand Southern barbarians, not worth mentioning!"

    Everyone was talking wildly at this time, as if they were no longer the ones who were afraid of the Sui army like a tiger a few days ago.

    Qu Gureng¡¯s advisers also advised Qu Gureng to fight. After all, the Sui army was mostly infantry. Once they were defeated in this battle, Tiele¡¯s army could immediately rely on their strong mobility to stay away from the battlefield.

    Qu Gureng felt happy when he saw that all the tribes shared the same hatred.

    He had already prepared to fight this battle, otherwise how would he regain his lost prestige.

    However, Qu Gureng was not without doubts. He was chasing the Sui cavalry. How could Huang Mingyuan appear in Weilu City by chance? This was too coincidental, as if he had done it on purpose.  Huang Mingyuan used his troops in many scheming ways, and Qu Gureng was worried that he would fall into Huang Mingyuan's trap again.

    Qu Gureng's counselor Yi Shi was aggressive and believed that the Sui army should have deliberately used a cavalry to lead them to the east, while Huang Mingyuan took the opportunity to lead his troops south.  Unfortunately, the Sui army had too many trophies and their march was really slow, so they were discovered by Tiele's coalition forces.

    In order to protect these trophies, Huang Mingyuan moved to Weilu City, which was suitable for defense.

    Qu Gulen thought for a while and thought that this was the only possibility.

    Weilu City is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. After all, Huang Mingyuan's command is a group of infantry.  Even if the Tiele coalition cannot defeat them, they can retreat directly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
