Once Tulou Mountain was broken, the defensive line that King Tianzhu had worked so hard to build on the eastern border was torn open by the Sui army in an instant, and the flanks of his main force were completely opened.
On September 1, Huang Mingyuan worshiped the dead soldiers at the Huangshui River, and then ordered the main force of the army to cross the Changning River to the northwest, and then kill Linqiang City in the southwest.
Linqiang City is the largest city in Tuyuhun in the Haidong region. It is located in the triangle area of ??Huangshui River and Qiangshui River (today's Yaoshui River in Qinghai Province). The city is 167 steps from east to west and 163 steps from north to south, making it almost a square. , built with rammed earth, two feet high. This city was built by General Zhao Chongguo in the first year of Shenjue of the Western Han Dynasty (61 BC). During the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was occupied by Tuyuhun.
Linqiang City is also a rare dangerous city, with Huangshui River and Qiangshui River on both sides, and the Rong Gorge (today's Yaoshui Gorge) in the northwest is its natural barrier.
However, because King Tianzhu set the decisive battlefield at Niuxinchuan River, there were not many soldiers left in Linqiang City.
The Sui army advanced at an extremely fast speed, heading straight from the Changning Valley to Linqiang City. The barbarians in the city were caught off guard and were directly blocked in the city by the Sui army. Linqiang City covers an area of ??only ninety acres and is not large. Therefore, Tuyuhun's army relied on the dangerous city to hold on. In their hurry, the Sui army could not capture it quickly.
Huang Mingyuan is not worried about Linqiang City. In Huang Mingyuan's view, Linqiang City is there and there is no way he can escape. The main force of Tuyuhun under King Tianzhu is the real target. Once King Tianzhu chooses to escape, it will be difficult to catch up with him southward.
Huang Mingyuan did not want King Tianzhu to escape with tens of thousands of troops, so Huang Mingyuan decided to divide his troops to stop the Hulu.
Huang Mingyuan left five thousand troops and handed them over to his general Hu Benlang, General Da Xihao, and ordered him to continue to besiege Linqiang City, and then led his troops to attack the Tianzhu King's headquarters.
After Huang Mingyuan led his troops to the north, Zhang Shou placed many flags in the camp, thinking that the army would be broad.
King Cheli Ni of Tianzhu did not know whether it was true or not. Seeing the tens of thousands of Sui troops, both men and horses were powerful, so he did not dare to cross the river easily, so he had to stick to the camp and prepare for a defensive battle.
But two days later, Chelini felt a little confused when he saw that the Sui army neither built large-scale warships nor launched an attack on the crossing, but just stood firm in the camp.
If the Sui army could not defeat the Tuyuhun army, Cheli Ni might believe it, but if it was said that the Sui army did not even dare to take the initiative when seeing the Tuyuhun army, Cheli Ni would not believe it at all.
At this time, Chelini wondered whether the main force of the Sui army had been transferred, leaving only a small number of troops to confuse him. After another half day, Cheli Ni couldn't hold himself back anymore and decided to cross the river secretly to attack and test the strength of the Sui army.
That night, Chelini ordered thousands of former soldiers to sneak across at night. The ship traveled more than half the distance without any Sui troops blocking it. Cheli Ni was overjoyed. The Sui army was afraid that they would be so vulnerable that they would not even be able to detect him smuggling across the border.
Chelini ordered the entire army to speed up and wait for the shore.
By the time we were a few steps away from the shore, we had reached the river beach. Many people jumped out of the boat and rushed across from the river beach.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised. They arrived at the Sui army camp and they were about to kill them. At this time, suddenly on the hillside in front, a group of people suddenly emerged from the ground and shot at the Tuyuhun soldiers.
"These people are all holding crossbows and firing at Hulu constantly.
Because the distance was not far, with a few blows, the Hulu fell down in rows. Hulu, who was not attacked, was also frightened and panicked.
At this time, the wall panels blocking the Sui army's camp also fell down one after another. Opposite them were rows of armored cavalry, as well as other assault cavalry.
At this time, a drum sounded in the camp, and everyone was ordered to rush forward.
The Sui troops originally in the trench had already dispersed to both sides, leaving a space in the middle. The trench was only half a step away, and the war horse jumped directly over it.
The distance between the two sides was less than a hundred steps, and at this distance the cavalry did not even have time to speed up. However, because the Sui army's camp was in a higher position, it was considered a dive attack from above.
Hundreds of armored riders charged from top to bottom, immediately crushing a bloody path dozens of steps wide. All the Tuyuhun troops along the way were trampled over, their bodies torn to pieces, and their flesh and blood flying everywhere. The Sui army's cavalry and infantry behind them covered the attack respectively, constantly driving Tuyuhun's army toward the river.
Where have the Tuyuhun people seen such a terrifying army? They are like seducers from hell, harvesting lives like mowing grass. Therefore, Tuyuhun's army collapsed and fled in all directions.
There are still ferries in the river that came from the east, and many people are preparing to escape back to the west bank by boat. However, although there were many boats, these people had long been frightened and confused. In order to snatch the ferry, they even drew swords on each other. Many of them were hacked to death by their own people. This group of defeated soldiers no longer had the will to resist.?All the energy was spent on seizing the ship and escaping.
The scene on the river bank was tragic and unbearable, with blood staining the river red and corpses blocking the river, which was unbearable to look at.
However, although he was cruel to his compatriots, he still could not escape the hooves of the Sui army. The armored cavalry rushed to the river bank and continuously squeezed the living space of the Tuyuhun soldiers. People without ferries jumped into the river to escape. The Tuyuhun people were not good at swimming, so they drowned one after another after falling into the water. And it was September, and the river was extremely cold. When people and horses fell into the water, their hands and feet suddenly became numb, and they drowned one after another, so the whole river was covered with dead bodies.
There was a fierce battle that night, and by dawn, there were no Tuyuhun people alive on the east bank of the river.
Although Zhang Shou was brave, he was also extremely ruthless, so he ordered that no prisoners should be taken. The Sui army went on a killing spree on the east bank of the Niuxin River. They fought until their swords were curled and their spears were broken, and they did not stop.
Zhang Shou also ordered people to build a Jingguan with Hulu's corpse on one side of the river bank to intimidate the enemy.
It turns out that when Huang Mingyuan was preparing to leave that day, he guessed that the Sui army on the east bank of the river was bluffing and might not be able to hold out for a few more days.
If the Tuyuhun people discover the main movement of the Sui army, whether it is crossing the river or supporting Tulou Mountain, it will affect the deployment of the Sui army. The Hulu were afraid of power and relied on strength, so if they knew that the main force of the Sui army was insufficient, they might directly attack the Sui army's camp.
Huang Mingyuan then ordered Zhang Shou to pretend to be the main force while digging deep trenches and setting up an ambush. The Sui army scouts also kept an eye on the main force of the Tuyuhun people.
When the Tuyuhun people were about to sneak across, they were discovered by the Sui army. The hundreds of armored cavalry left by Huang Mingyuan were arranged by Zhang Shou in the direction facing the Hulu, and they performed a remarkable feat.
In this battle, King Tianzhu¡¯s main force lost seven to eight thousand people, suffering heavy casualties. After this defeat, Tianzhu King Cheli Ni himself was also frightened and frightened, and he no longer dared to underestimate the Sui army.
After the Sui army won the victory, they continued to defend the camp.
Seeing that the Sui army did not forcefully cross the Niuxinchuan River, King Tianzhu breathed a sigh of relief and had to order his troops to guard the camp. As for attacking, he never dared to do so again.
The two sides faced each other across the river without attacking each other, creating a strange war scene that was amazing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
