Chapter 7 A Hearty Victory

Chapter 7: The Victory

In order to prevent chaos, the Turks and Murong Private Army were divided into two camps. However, the Murong family is of Xianbei blood and has people of all ethnic groups in the family. It is not difficult to find people to sneak into the Turkic camp. A day later, Murong Shao received the news that Changsun Sheng came to the Turkic camp. After bribery, the Turks were exposed for plotting against the Murong family.

Murong Shao was shocked and angry, and soon reported to Murong Sanzang that it was only one day before the Turkic people launched. Murong Sanzang gritted his teeth and decided to take action first.

The war in the north in the first year of Daye was full of drama. First, the Murong family, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, launched a rebellion. The head of the family, Murong Sanzang, joined forces with the Turks and Goguryeo, and aggressively attacked the mainland. However, the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty was stable. Except for the two states held by the Murong family, no one responded. Goguryeo was blocked by the army that protected the Dongyi General Luo Yi, and could only play the role of shaking the flag and shouting.

Just when Murong Sanzang and the Turkic army jointly attacked Mayi to open up this heavy city that blocked the Turkic army's southward movement, the Turks and Murong Sanzang suddenly turned against each other. The Murong family ghost army only symbolically attacked the Mayi city wall. Before the Turkic army was about to take action, it launched an attack first. The Turkic army, which was caught off guard, was attacked by the Murong private army with armor, without having time to get on the horse, and suffered heavy casualties.

In terms of infantry battles, ten Turks may not be able to beat one Murong Ghost Army, let alone the Turks who are determined to calculate the Murong Ghost Army, but they did not expect to be calculated by others. This mental gap made the Turks panic. Even if they barely jumped on the horse, they didn't care about counterattacking and only wanted to escape.

Fortunately, the Turks were three times that of Murong Private Army. In addition, this time it was the Khan who came here in person, and the Golden Wolf Cavalry, whom he guarded, was the most brave. He barely blocked the Murong Army's attack at the last moment and did not collapse. Gradually, the running Turks also returned to the battle, and the two sides gradually turned into stalemate.

During this stalemate, Murong's lack of military personnel was exposed. After seeing the opportunity of Huai, Murong Sanzang had to lead his troops to retreat. Before the Turks could fully recover from the previous attack, they could not catch up, so the two armies broke off from contact.

After Murong Ghost Army retreated, Tuli picked up some losses, killing and injured nearly 10,000 people, and losing 50,000 horses. This loss made Tuli furious. If the Murong family's private army retreated like this, he would not have to do it. After spending a while to rectify the troops, he chased without hesitation. Fortunately, Turks all had two riders and even three riders. Although they lost more than 50,000 horses, they were not afraid of no horses.

Murong Sanzang had already expected the pursuit of the Turks and kept fighting and leaving. Although the Turks had the advantage of military strength, it was not easy to defeat Murong Sanzang's men. The two sides fought together, and the losses of hundreds of people every day were like cutting their flesh with a knife, which made Murong Sanzang feel very distressed.

These people are the foundation of the Murong family. One person dies. In desperation, Murong Sanzang sent people to seek peace from Tuli. Although the Turks suffered no less losses than Murong Sanzang. The Turks were heartbroken, but Tuli had suffered a great loss. Now the victory was in hand, and Changsun Sheng was supervising him. How could Tuli agree to reconciliation? He commanded his troops to attack Murong Sanzang every day.

Murong Sanzang had no choice but to die and reconcile, and was eventually besieged by the Turkic army on a mountain about a hundred miles away from Mayi.

The changes in the war made Mayi prefect Pei Yun stunned. He was worried about the Mayi defense day and night, but he didn't expect that he would not have to take action at all, and he immediately became extremely respectful to Changsun Sheng.

Just after the Turks surrounded Murong Sanzang's men for several days, the army in the court arrived. The 100,000 Sui troops led by Yang Liang, Qu Tutong and Zhang Xingzhi surrounded the Turks and Murong Sanzang's rebels.

Tuli and the other Turkic nobles woke up as if they were dreaming. They knew that they had been deceived by Changsun Sheng. Now Kehe Dun is the daughter of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. Tuli also wanted to see Yang Liang personally as the prince consort of the Sui Dynasty. They wanted to plead with Yang Liang, to make up for his merits and to forgive him for invading the border of the Sui Dynasty this time, and to reiterate the good neighborly and friendship between the two families.

However, when Tuli arrived at the Sui army camp, he was immediately ordered to deduct it by Yang Liang. Not to mention that there was an emperor's secret order, even if there was no, Yang Liang would not let the achievements slip away. On that day, the Sui army rested overnight and launched an attack on the Turks and Murong rebels the next day.

Tens of thousands of troops launched fierce battles in a radius of only a few dozen miles. Faced with the absolute advantage of the Sui army, both the Turks and the Murong Private Army were all scared. Moreover, they were already exhausted after the fierce battle ahead. In order to resist the attack of the Turks, most of the powerful long-range weapons brought by the Murong Private Army were consumed, and even the swords and guns in their hands had a lot of gaps. The same was true for the Turks. There was only a small part of their most Willy wolf-toothed arrows, which were not enough to fight.

Without the wolf-tooth arrows, the Turks lost more than half of their combat power. Without the powerful crossbows, spears and other objects, the combat power of the Murong Private Army also dropped by more than half. The Sui army was well prepared and had sufficient material, and the crossbow arrows were fired like money. The entire sky seemed to be covered by the crossbow arrows fired by the Sui army. When these crossbow arrows fell down with a deadly roar, the Turks and the Murong Private Army fell in pieces.

The Turks and Murong coalition forces only resisted for a long time before they collapsed. First, the Turks fled, and then the Murong private army also began to escape. The entire battlefield was full of abandoned coalition corpses and wounded soldiers.

Although the Sui army had an army of 100,000, it was certainly impossible to surround tens of thousands of people without any gaps, but it was not easy to escape from the gaps. There were crossbow arrows emitted by the Sui army everywhere, and accidentally became the ghost under the arrow. In the end, less than half of the remaining troops rushed out of the siege.

The remaining troops who rushed out of the encirclement had no time to be happy, and they had to face the pursuit of another part of the Sui army that was raising their strength. Under the trap of the horses, most of them either surrendered halfway or died in the pursuit of the Sui army. In the end, one out of ten people actually escaped. Most of the Turkic nobles were captured and only escaped with one third prince Duo, Murong Sanzang's younger brother Murong Jianzhong, nephew Murong Gui, Murong Kun and others were also not in the formation.

Afterwards, the battlefield was cleaned up, more than 11,000 Turkic wolf cavalry died in battle, and more than 20,000 were captured. The 15,000 Murong Private Army, with 13,000 deaths and injuries, more than 8,000 casualties, and more than 3,000 were captured, and only more than 1,000 remnants were escaped.

In terms of the proportion of casualties, the Murong Private Army is far greater than the Turks. This is because the Murong Private Army is a rebel and is afraid that he will not have a good end after being captured, so he fights to the death. The Turks are still lucky and think that the Sui army will still hand them over to another Turkic noble who has been helped as subordinates as before.

However, when these prisoners learned their fate, everyone wished they had died on the battlefield, otherwise they would not have to suffer such a serious crime.

Due to sufficient preparations and sufficient material resources, the Sui army suffered minimal casualties, with only more than a thousand casualties. The only shortcoming was that the rebel leader Murong Sanzang and a nephew Murong Shao escaped.

According to the post-country statistics from the Sui army, the Sui army fired more than 2 million crossbow arrows in half a day of attack. For the Sui army, this was a hearty victory.

When the news reached the capital, it was almost the end of December, the first year of Daye, and the New Year was about to arrive. The capital was covered with the first snow and became crystal clear. It was not caring about the cold, and the streets were filled with smiling residents. They began to buy all kinds of things and prepare to celebrate the New Year happily.

Due to the departure of the First Emperor, the whole country must be mourned for three months. Since August, all kinds of entertainment, marriage and other activities have been stopped in the entire capital. Now, the mourning has just been dismissed. Therefore, in addition to the New Year, the marriage that was stopped due to the departure of the First Emperor has also become lively again. There are people in the capital for 114 square meters, and there are people holding weddings every day, so it is becoming more and more lively.

At this time, the news that the Great Sui army defeated the Turks and the rebels on the border came, urging the excitement to a higher level. The entire capital was trapped in the sound of firecrackers. The people who met were cheerful and shared the joy of the other party, and the original worries were not flying.

After the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, it not only ended the division between the north and the south for hundreds of years, but also had a strong country and the people. Yang Jian's prestige among the people can be said to be very high. Although the prince was famous for his reputation, Yang Jian's sudden departure still had a certain blow to most people, which was also the reason why Goguryeo and the Turks took the opportunity to invade.

The strength of the Turks is still in the memory of the older generation. Just over 20 years ago, facing the invasion of the Turks, many wealthy businessmen in the capital were afraid that the Turks would come to the city, and even fled out of the capital. Although the Great Sui army is strong, the emperor has just changed, and the people before the victory is not decided. Now, the great victory has arrived in time and there is no need for the previous worries.

Ministers who had just received the news also congratulated the emperor, and their casualties were caused by more than a thousand people, and their achievements in capturing tens of thousands of enemies and annihilated tens of thousands of enemies. Even in the past twenty years of Emperor Wen's rule, some ministers simply criticized the new emperor's martial arts, which had surpassed the previous emperor's flattery.
