The archers, crossbow carts and trebuchets of the Sui army can't really stay.

 However, if we go out to fight the Sui army, we must be cautious and plan well.

 Because doing so is very likely to become a decisive battle with the Sui army. "

 Pei Ji reminded.

 "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, before you come, I have already discussed with the General, Master Xu and others.

 This time, we go out to fight the Sui army, the main purpose is to destroy the Sui army's archers, ballistas and trebuchets, and try to avoid a decisive battle with the Sui army.

 However, if the final battle situation is out of control and it really turns into a decisive battle with the Sui army, that's okay.

 With the current strength of our army, it is comparable to the Sui army. Even in a decisive battle, our chances of winning are very high. "

 Li Er said.

 "Okay, since the General and Your Highness have already discussed it, let's do it.

 This officer is far inferior to you in leading troops in battle.

 This time, His Majesty asked me to lead the army to help you, and I have already completed it.

 It is up to you how to defeat the Sui army.

 I will be returning to Chang'an tomorrow, and there are still many things in Chang'an that I need to deal with.

 I will be busy raising rations for you when I go back. "

 Pei Ji said.

 He has no intention of participating in the war.

 In the next two days, Zhou Yu also knew that the reinforcements from the Tang army had arrived, so he did not continue to attack Tongguan.

 In this continuous week of strong attack, regardless of the Tang army's struggling support, the Sui army's casualties were also not small.

 After all, the Sui army was the attacking side. Even if the Sui army had the advantages of archers, crossbow carts and thunderbolts, they still suffered more than [-] casualties.

 More than [-] people were killed and more than [-] were injured. Such a casualty ratio is already very high.

 In addition, Zhou Yu knew that after the Tang army's reinforcements arrived, he would definitely organize a counterattack. Zhou Yu didn't dare to be careless, so he had to let his subordinates take a good rest.

 Otherwise, continue to attack the city exhaustedly, and if Li Er succeeds in counterattacking, then it will not be Zhou Yu who is plotting against others, but Zhou Yu will be plotting against others.

 Tongguan fell into a brief period of calm.

 Li Er in Tongguan was planning a counterattack against the Sui army, and Zhou Yu outside Tongguan was resting his troops, waiting to plot against Li Er and deal with Li Er's second-hand black cavalry.

 And at the time of the Tongguan battle, on the north side of Taiyuan, Bai Qi led Li Cunxiao, Xu Chu and other generals, and captured Taiyuan like a broken bamboo.

 Then, it swept through most of Bingzhou, captured Yanmen Pass, and entered Loufan and other places.

 Liu Wuzhou led general Song Jingang and tried to block Bai Qi's advance, but was defeated by Li Cunxiao and Xu Chu in a battle.

 General Song Jingang under Liu Wuzhou's command was killed in battle, Liu Wuzhou was captured, and then escorted to the Eastern Capital.

 Afterwards, Bai Qi led [-] Sui troops non-stop, and rushed to Saibei, which was previously the territory of Liang Shidu, but is now occupied by the Tang army.

 Tang Jun didn't have many soldiers and horses there, and Bai Qi led the army to crush them all the way.

 Bai Qi sent troops earlier than Zhou Yu. By the end of September, Bai Qi had already swept half of Bingzhou and Saibei in two months.

 On the grassland to the north, Shibi Khan is now considered honest after losing more than 20 troops in the pass.

 In a short period of time, the Turkic people dare not go south, and the northern border is still relatively stable.

 At the end of September, Bai Qi led the Sui army to go south from the north of the Great Wall, and rushed to Guanzhong, preparing to attack the pass with Zhou Yu on both sides.

 And at this time, on the side of Tongguan, the largest battle between the Tang army and the Sui army finally broke out.

 On September 28, Zhou Yu commanded the Sui army to pretend to storm Tongguan again.

 Li Er took the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Sui army.

 This time, Li Er invested a full 16 Tang troops, basically the same strength as Zhou Yu's Sui army.

 "kill!"

 Taking advantage of the Sui army attacking the city, the Tang army suddenly rushed out of the city.

 The Sui army, which was attacking the city, was caught off guard and quickly defeated.

 Tang Jun took advantage of the situation to hide and kill, and the war broke out.

 "Come with me!"

 Qin Qiong roared, he and the cavalry of the Tang army led by Cheng Yaojin were responsible for opening the way.

 Behind them are the main force of the Tang army's infantry led by Yuchi Jingde, Li Yuanba and Li Jing.

 Boom boom boom!

 Outside Tongguan, the drums of war are rumbling.

 Zhou Yu also quickly mobilized the Sui army, blocking what he dared to block, releasing what should be released, and the scope of the battlefield expanded rapidly.

 "Bai Jin, you go to the east, the ballista of the Sui Army seems to be over there.

 I will go to the north to overwhelm the archers of the Sui army. "

 Qin Qiong rode on the horse and yelled at Cheng Yaojin.

 "it is good."

 Immediately, the two split up.

 At this time, Zhou Yu stood on a hill in the distance, overlooking half of the battlefield, looked at the cavalry of the Tang Army who appeared, and sneered: "Sure enough, our archers and crossbow carts are coming.

 Send an order to Lu Su to let them plan and act.

 Also, tell Tai Shici and Gan Ning that on the front side of the battlefield, gradually retreat and draw the Tang army out. "

 "Kill me!"

 On Cheng Yaojin's side, he quickly led five thousand cavalry from the Tang Army and charged to the side of the Sui Army's ballista.

 "Rush over and destroy the ballista of the Sui army."

 Cheng Yaojin roared.

 Whoosh whoosh!

 At this time, the ballista soldiers on the side of the Sui army also found the soldiers of the Tang army who had appeared, and instead of fleeing, they manipulated the bed crossbow against the cavalry of the Tang army and fired flatly.

 Puff, puff!

 A crossbow arrow was shot flat, causing huge injuries to the charging Tang cavalry.

 Fortunately, the cavalry of the Tang army had a large number of people, and they were scattered when they charged, which reduced the hit rate of the crossbow arrows.

 In addition, it was a little troublesome to launch the arrow on the bed crossbow, which made the shooting speed of the bed crossbow very slow, which gave the Tang army cavalry a chance to charge over.

 Generally speaking, once a unit like crossbowmen is rushed to the front by cavalry, the rest will be a one-sided massacre.

 On the side of the Sui army, it is naturally impossible not to equip the crossbowmen with defensive forces.

 "kill!"

 When Cheng Yaojin rushed halfway, two Sui army horses, one cavalry and one infantry rushed out from both sides of the crossbowmen, and rushed towards the Tang army cavalry.

 The three groups of people were quickly strangled together.

 "Rush, you must rush over."

 Cheng Yaojin yelled and fought hard on horseback. At this time, they had no way out.

 There are wars everywhere, both on Cheng Yaojin's side and on Qin Qiong's side.

 Li Er wanted to destroy the Sui army's archers, crossbow carts, and trebuchets, mainly relying on the cavalry led by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin.

 The [-] Tang army infantry led by Yuchi Jingde, Li Yuanba and others fought in melee with the main force of the Sui army.

 "Report, General Qin's raid on the Sui Army's archer phalanx was blocked."

 "Report, General Cheng was blocked by the Sui army and failed to destroy the ballista of the Sui army."

 Half a day later, Li Er did not receive a good news, which made him even more anxious.

 "Send another cavalry out to support General Cheng Yaojin.

 In addition, send it to Duan Zhixuan, tell him, give him another half an hour, "

 Liu Hongji on the side was relatively calm and gave the order at this time.

 "Your Highness, don't worry, this battle has just begun, so be patient."

 "The general said so."

 "Rush rush!"

 On the main battlefield, Yuchi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Yaojin and other Tang army generals led a group of Tang army soldiers and rushed towards the Sui army's catapult position behind.

 They vowed to destroy the catapults of the Sui army, which was also the main purpose of their counterattack.

 "retreat!"

 Lu Meng issued orders, and the Sui army in front quickly retreated.

 "stand!"

 At the same time, the shield players on the Sui army's side quickly erected a shield wall to cover the retreat of the Sui army's infantry in front and resist the attacking Tang army at the same time.

 "Kill!"

 Tang Jun's morale was like a rainbow at this time, brandishing knives and guns, rushing to kill.

 "cast!"

 Whoosh whoosh!

 The infantry of the Sui army behind the shield threw spears one after another, piercing through many soldiers of the Tang army.

 "throw!"

 The Sui army's trebuchet has not stopped yet.

 They were still throwing thunderbolts one by one, and threw them into the group of soldiers of the Tang army.

 Rumble!

 Bang Tianlei exploded, and many Tang soldiers around immediately fell down and screamed.

 "This is what His Highness said more, the terrible weapon in the Sui army?

 There is such a weapon in the world, it must be destroyed. "

 On the Tang army's side, Li Jing led a team of Tang troops to attack, and seeing the power of the thunderbolt, he also said with a solemn expression.

 "Report, report to General, His Royal Highness King Qin, General Qin succeeded, and they scattered the Sui army's archers."

 "Report, General Cheng reported victory, defeated the cavalry of the Sui Army, and destroyed more than [-] crossbow carts."

 An hour later, Li Er finally received the good news from Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin,

 "Haha, I already know that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin will not disappoint me."

 Li Er was very happy.

 As the Sui army's archers and horses were scattered by the Tang army's cavalry led by Qin Qiong, the ballista was destroyed, and the Sui army on the main battlefield lost support and was immediately defeated.

 "Report, the Sui army fled, and several generals are leading the pursuit."

 Half a day later, Liu Hongji and Li Er received another good news in Tongguan.

 "The Sui army was defeated?"

 Li Er was surprised, the smooth progress of this battle was somewhat beyond his imagination.

 Instinctively, Li Er wanted to give the order to let the pursuing Tang army back, and to accept it as soon as it was good, destroying the Sui army's crossbow carts and trebuchets, and the goal of this battle had been achieved.

 But Li Er was also worried that if the Sui army was really defeated in this battle, if he issued this order, it would be tantamount to letting the Sui army survive, and it would be tantamount to giving the Sui army a chance to breathe.

 "Your Highness, don't worry. This general sent someone to inform Yuchi Jingde and Li Jing, telling them to be careful when chasing the Sui army."

 Liu Hongji said.

 "Tang Jun is in the trap, let's go."
