Cheng Yaojin's series of actions made Jieli Khan furious, and he wiped out 600 Turkic people in one day, which is not a small contribution.

Now the people of Huining have packed their bags and moved south along the Zuli River, leaving an empty city for the Turkic cavalry.

In Li Shimin's plan, he didn't worry about these Turkic people occupying the city at all. If these Turkic people really occupied the city and fought, it would be like discounting their own hands.

Without the Turkic horses that come and go like the wind, have these Turkic people fought siege battles?Will it defend the city?Do you know the oil ladder catapult?
What the Turkic people want is food and meat, and it is a quick supply of food and grass.

Tuli Khan sent 400 troops to the south to intercept Cheng Yaojin's small army of [-] people.

At this moment, the Huizhou government soldiers, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, played hide-and-seek with the Turkic people, hiding in the shadows of hills and valleys, or hiding among the trees.

Or take some time to dig pits and make some traps, waiting for the arrival of the Turks.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have binoculars, which can detect the movements of the Turks at any time. They have been anticipating the enemy's opportunities, and stop and go all the way.

On the other side, Jieli Khan's powerful soldiers marched straight in and directly killed the city of Huining Mansion, where there was no one in the city.

The city was bleak and messy, with only the cold wind of winter at a glance. The Turkic cavalrymen under him had already started looting houses and houses, rummaging through boxes and boxes, but there was no supplement of food and grass.

"Khan, I'm afraid Datang discovered our plan to invade the south, so he arranged for the people to evacuate in advance, and burned all the food and grass and didn't give us supplies!"

Lost in thought, he could only sigh helplessly. Jieli Khan looked at the empty city with only hatred in his eyes. This group of Tang people were too cunning to give him a chance to replenish his army.

"Khan, where do we go next?"

Jieli Khan pondered for a moment, then asked loudly
"I decided to go to Quwu Mountain first, pass Huizhou, go straight to Yuanzhou, and catch the opponent by surprise."

"how do you feel?"

Thinking about it, the generals in Huizhou have found their tracks. Huizhou's troops are weak and cannot be stopped, but there is a large army stationed in Jingzhou behind.

In this battle, Jieli Khan was going to invade Chang'an. Now that he was galloping fast, he would go to Yuanzhou first and then plunder supplies. Presumably the generals in Yuanzhou hadn't deployed their troops yet.

"It's possible, Khan Natuli Khan?"

Jieli Khan felt uncomfortable when he thought of the bandit riding a bull, and felt disgusted.

"Let Tuli kill him and join us again"

Jieli Khan marched from Huining to Quwu Mountain with his army, without stopping along the way.

At Shimen Pass in Yuanzhou, Qin Shubao led 1 soldiers, who had been waiting here for the arrival of Jieli Khan.

Shimenguan, also known as Shimen Gorge, divides the mountain into north and south, and the aisle in the middle is like a stone gate, narrow and quiet.

And on the high plank road, [-] government soldiers are ready for Jieli Khan to fire oil and roll stones.

A few days ago, Huizhou scouts had received news that the Turkic army had entered Quwu Mountain and marched towards Yuanzhou.

Qin Shubao's army waited for many days and finally arrived at Jieli Khan. [-] cavalry came from Quwu Mountain to Yuanzhou.

Just entering Shimen Pass in Yuanzhou, Jieli Khan heaved a sigh of relief. He was not familiar with Huizhou, but he rode his horse many times in Yuanzhou. Originally, Lingzhou invaded and went down to Yuanzhou to plunder.

I didn't expect that there would be such an obstacle in the invasion from Huizhou this time, as if the other party knew that he was sending troops from Huizhou, and they rushed for nothing and got nothing.

But Yuanzhou was different. Based on his understanding of Yuanzhou, he would definitely be able to gallop to harvest a good harvest and supply the soldiers with supplies.

On the plank road, the lieutenant next to Qin Shubao lowered his voice and leaned into his ear
"General, here they come"

Qin Shubao nodded, took out a red pepper from his bosom and took a bite to refresh himself.

"When they all go to block the road, don't let them escape back"

Qin Shubao's eyes turned fierce. This time the Turkic invasion to the south was a miscalculation. His majesty and uncle had already predicted the enemy's opportunity. This time, his majesty ordered them to annihilate the Turkic cavalry.

And this group of people still complacently thought that they came to invade Datang, which is really ridiculous.

When the last Turkic troops passed through the entrance of Shimenguan, the stone gate was heard to close, and the boulder rolled down like a landslide.

After the loud noise, the entrance to Shimenguan was sealed, and the way back for the [-] cavalry was completely blocked.

"Khan, it's not good for a natural disaster to occur, and the Shimen Pass is blocked."

Zhishen lost his mind and was in a turbulent mood. It was not a good sign that a natural disaster happened just after entering Wonju.

"What are you afraid of being blocked? When I hit Chang'an, I'll just return from Lingzhou."

Jieli Khan has opened his bow and has no arrows to turn back. He can no longer be allowed to retreat at this time, and now it is impossible to go deep into the interior of the Tang Dynasty.

rumbling~
There was a sound above his head, and Jieli Khan raised his head and saw huge boulders and logs rolling down from the top of Shimenguan Mountain.

"It's not a natural disaster, there's an ambush"

"Let's go, this Shimen Pass cannot be left behind"

If they stayed for a while longer and were hit by this huge boulder and log, it is unknown how many people would be damaged here. Only when the horse gallops out of Shimen Pass quickly can we talk about the battle.

Jieli Khan's reaction is not to say that he was unhappy, but no matter how fast the army of 9 people is, the black horses and warriors are crowded together, and the marching speed will not be fast.

The rolling rocks and logs falling from the north and south sides still keep more than 1 people in Shimen Pass forever.

Jieli Khan escaped from Shimenguan, and he could still hear the wailing of Turkic warriors and the neighing of war horses under the dull rolling stones inside.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Jieli Khan was about to go crazy, and the Yuanzhou garrison had already been on guard, setting up a net and waiting for him to come to his door.

If there was a slight mistake, he would also be imprisoned in Shimen Pass and beaten to death today.

On the plank road, Qin Shubao looked at the dead and wounded Turkic soldiers with an expressionless expression on his face. Did these people expect to end up today when they killed my Tang people in the past?

"Set fire to the mountain"

Qin Shubao ordered that the burning oil in the Shimen Pass was blazing. Jieli Khan looked back at the burning Shimen Pass, knowing that the Turkic warriors trapped in it would never be seen again.

"Walk"

Jieli Khan reluctantly ordered that the [-] Turkic warriors could not be rescued, and now he could only continue to go deep into Guyuan, Yuanzhou, and he did not believe that there were defenses there.

The Turkic war horses galloped again. For several days in a row, Jieli Khan did not loot any food, grass and armaments, but lost more than 3000 soldiers for nothing.

And in the city of Guyuan, Yuanzhou, Li Shimin sat in it, waiting for the arrival of Jieli Khan.

From the day when the Turks invaded, Li Jing, the Duke of Dai, sent troops from Huating to aid Guyuan City, and Chai Shao sent troops from Hedao to Jingzhou. As long as Jieli Khan came, it would be the enemy.
