Chapter 313 Bloody Battle at Shanhaiguan

Turkic!

No matter which leader of the Central Plains, Yang Jian, Yang Guang in the past, Li Yuan and Li Shimin in the future, they will regard him as their biggest enemies.

If we refer not only to the Turks, but to the entire grassland, then before the firearms appear, the grassland people will always be the biggest enemy of the Central Plains people before they can start singing and dancing.

If the emperors in the Central Plains are distinctive and the country is prosperous, such as Qin Shihuang, Han Wu, and Wei Wu, they can suppress the grassland people when they are alive. However, if the emperor is stupid and the country is weak, just like the Jin Dynasty and Song Dynasty, they will be really suppressed and beaten by the grassland people and can hardly raise their heads.

In comparison, the effect of the rise and fall of Goguryeo in Liaodong is actually just a disease of psoriasis.

Even when Chu Tianxiu was initially not setting up a plan for the Turks, but after he killed Bi Xuan, he was pushed to this point. However, after Chu Tianxiu gathered the troops of the Xue brothers and Liu Heita and found that he could already be called a strong soldier, he decided to give the Turks a cruel and directly hurt him at one time. Only in this way can he reduce the trouble of this great grassland enemy at one time.

You should know that in history, the royal family of Li Tang clearly had grassland blood and was considered to be their own people of the Turks. They all interfered, causing them to personally invade the border of the Central Plains, while constantly supporting the princes such as Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Luo Yi, Liu Heita, Gao Kaidao, etc., allowing them to constantly rebel and stir up wars in the Central Plains and restless in all directions.

Not to mention, the most likely force in the Central Plains to unify the world is the Han Dynasty that Chu Tianxiu was about to establish.

Chu Tianxiu is not Li Yuan or Li Shimin. He has the blood of a grassland man, which allows them to easily integrate into the grassland man system and compete for the position of "Tian Khan" as the "Sinic Hu people", so as to digest and absorb the forces of all sizes on the grassland, and use this method to turn against the enemy.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't learn this method.

He could imagine that if he let the Turks ignore them this time, then the Turks would definitely find ways to contact Guanlong and Li Tang, and they would all be in the offensive and defensive alliance to cause trouble for him, Chu Tianxiu.

From a certain perspective, this battle was actually what Chu Tianxiu hoped to see.

Li Jing is worthy of being a contemporary war god. His arrangement in Shanhaiguan can almost be called art.

He now only has 20,000 troops, but in his hands, these 20,000 troops are even stronger than the 100,000 troops. Over the years, many Turkic tribes have actually come to seek revenge and led their troops to attack Shanhaiguan.

However, under Li Jing's command, these Turkic tribes were harvested by Li Jing one after another like leeks in the field. After counting the quartermasters, they found that nearly 10,000 people had died here in Shanhaiguan in the past month.

Even though according to Li Jing, most of these Turks came from small and medium-sized tribes, or were simply from horse bandits, and were not really elites, but the ability to do this with his few troops under his command was enough to prove his power.

If Li Jing was worried that he would occupy an enclave of an isolated city and could not get support from the rear, even if he could survive here for a while, he could not save the situation of defeat.

After Chu Tianxiu killed Gao Kaidao and captured Yuyang County, theoretically speaking, the entire northern region, whether it is Liaodong, Hebei, or Shandong, has become his territory, so that Li Jing from Shanhaiguan does not have to fight alone, but can gain support from the entire Central Plains.

In this way, Li Jing naturally felt at ease, completely let go of his hands and feet, turning Shanhaiguan into a sad place for the Turks.

But because of this, the pressure on the Turks was getting stronger and their anger became higher and higher, so that Chu Tianxiu learned through the channels of the Ming Dynasty's sect that this incident had completely angered Shibi Khan, the leader of the Turks, and led him to personally lead 80,000 Turkic cavalry to attack Shanhaiguan.

After Chu Tianxiu learned about this news, he was shocked and immediately sent a message to Li Jing, asking him if he wanted to support him. He even wanted to lead the 100,000 troops he had just gathered to go to Shanhaiguan to support Li Jing, so as not to make this man who had just won. The Shuai Cai who had just won was then left in Shanhaiguan.

The emperor is not in a hurry to the eunuch.

This incident scared Chu Tianxiu, but Li Jing himself was very frank about this matter and had an attitude of treating the Turks without anything. After receiving Chu Tianxiu's letter, he did not need support from military force except for asking Chu Tianxiu for a large amount of food and weapons.

In his reply, he repeatedly told Chu Tianxiu that he would not have to care about the war on the front line. If reinforcements were needed, he would ask Chu Tianxiu to send troops. What he needed Chu Tianxiu to do at this time was to divide his troops to guard the counties and counties near Shanhaiguan so that the Turks would not divide their troops to raid and cut off the food routes of Shanhaiguan.

Since Li Jing was confident and capable, Chu Tianxiu naturally would not be troublesome, so he played the role of "Xiao He" in Yuyang County, constantly appeased the forces of Liaodong, Hebei, and Shandong. Then, through the Grand Canal of Sui and Tang Dynasties dug by Yang Guang a few years ago, he kept transporting food and fodder and supplies from Luoyang, Jiangdu and other places, piled up it in Yuyang County, and turned it into a stable rear base.

As a result, the large Turkic troops arrived in Shanhaiguan continuously, and Chu Tianxiu also continuously drew forces from all over the Central Plains, gradually making this revenge battle that should have been a Turkic revenge to avenge Bi Xuan to the trend of becoming a full-scale war.

Chu Tianxiu is very happy about this matter, and he wants to take advantage of this opportunity and make a contribution.

However, the Turks' attitudes on this matter were quite different.

Although those Turkic people at the bottom were extremely angry because of Bi Xuan's death, they really wanted to avenge Bi Xuan and never ended.

But those high-level Turkic nobles had to think a lot.

Although Bi Xuan is just a symbolic figure among the grassland people, he has no real power in his hands.

But his existence itself was a divine needle of the Turkic people, and his death would naturally cause changes in the power of the Turkic high-level officials, and it was the type that stabbed Shibi Khan, the supreme leader of the Turkic, in the chest.

What's worse is that not only some more "complex" ideas will appear within the Turks, but those tribes that have to temporarily rest due to the force of the Turks will also have some ideas, especially the forces of Tuyuhun, Tiele, Uighurs, and Khitan, which were already a little dissatisfied with the Turks, and some commotions have occurred.

In this matter, the Turks even had to thank Chu Tianxiu, thank him for killing the "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao and killing the martial arts master on the grassland that is only one line worse than Bi Xuan. Otherwise, if the Tiele Feiying was still alive, then no one could tell what he would do after Bi Xuan died.

...

Kill, kill, kill!

Chu Tianxiu had experienced many wars before, but because he had always liked to plan and then act, the war he launched was almost always bullying the small with the big and bullying the weak with the strong. Almost before the war started, the victory of the war was determined.

But this battle at Shanhaiguan is completely different. This is a real bloody battle.

Chu Tianxiu was not a peaceful person, so he naturally would not stay in Yuyang County peacefully and watch Li Jing's success or failure. Therefore, although he did not say anything, he secretly went to Shanhaiguan alone and watched the battle quietly.

Bloody battle, the real bloody battle.

Originally, Chu Tianxiu thought that grassland people like the Turks should have no powerful weapon to attack the city, and they should use the cruel means of ants to attack the city, using human lives to build victory like the bandits in the Central Plains.

However, after Chu Tianxiu saw the Turks' offensive, he was shocked to find that the Turks not only had siege equipment, but also the siege equipment was very exquisite, not only had cloud ladders and well railings, but also had a large number of catapults.

Not only that, the grassland people were born as archers, which made the arrow rain they used to cover the siege soldiers extremely sharp. Although the soldiers under Li Jing had city walls to rely on and had the advantage of geographical advantage, under the Turkic rain of arrows, their battle to defend the city was also extremely cruel.

In this matter, Chu Tianxiu had to curse a few words, scold the Jin Dynasty and the Sima family. If the dynasty they established was not too slutty, causing the Five Barbarians to invade China and allowing the Han people to enter the darkest period in history, so that the craftsmen and tools from the Central Plains flowed into the outer border, how could the Turks have at this level?

During the Han Dynasty, there was always the saying that the Han Dynasty was the Five Barbarians.

At this point, it was not only because the Han people at that time were fierce and had superb military power, but also because the Han Dynasty's technical level was one era higher than that of the grassland people, allowing them to use strong bows and crossbows of steel to bully the Huns who had only bone arrows as weapons.

But now, because of the fucking dynasty of the Jin Dynasty, the Han people have lost their greatest advantage and cannot form a crushing advantage over the grassland people.

Meat grinder!

Flesh grinder!

Shura Killing Field!

If Shanhaiguan is described with such cruel words today, it would be no exaggeration.

To be honest, almost every moment, hundreds of corpses fall under Shanhaiguan. Some of the corpses belong to the Turks and some of them belong to the Han people. No matter their identities, they will become numbers on paper on this cruel battlefield.

Although Chu Tianxiu has really seen it in terms of cruelty, and has personally set up a scene that is ten times more cruel than this. When he set out to support the Pegasus Ranch, he used some methods to cause civil strife to invade the Pegasus Ranch to cause civil strife, which made them roar.

At that time, tens of thousands of people killed each other, almost crazy scenes, but they were ten times more cruel than today's battlefield, and more like hell on earth.

However, that battle is still fundamentally different from today's battle, and the shock to Chu Tianxiu is naturally different.

If it is to be figurative, if the battle in the first place was the evil ghosts in the hungry ghost realm devouring each other, then today's battle is the Shura in the Shura realm fighting each other.

Under such a fight, neither Li Jing nor Turkic people had room to leave room, and they had to lift the trump cards in their hands, so that the abilities and talents of both the enemy and us could be revealed in the attack and defense.

It is coincidental that the day when Chu Tianxiu came to watch the battle was the seventh day when the main Turkic troops invaded Shanhaiguan. It happened that Li Jing revealed a trump card under his command after taking complete measures.

Take offense as defense!

The gate that was originally hit by the Turks repeatedly with a pounding wood and could not be smashed to open suddenly opened, and a cavalry broke out.

Although the grassland talents are the ancestors when it comes to the ability to use cavalry, the cavalry that broke out from the city gate will never dare to underestimate it, but will regard it as a lifelong nightmare.

Because this cavalry is a cavalry.

This type of army is actually the most expensive, important and glorious army in ancient Chinese history.

Heavy cavalry is not uncommon. This kind of ace army had already appeared slightly earlier during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, known as Tiefutu.

If you want to cultivate such ace cavalry, you must not only let everyone wear armor in the heavy cavalry, but also wear full war horses.

Under such full armed forces, when every heavy cavalry went to fight, they looked like a tall statue of a god of war. When they charged forward, they were like a steel wall pressing towards them, truly invincible and unstoppable.

Such a team is naturally not something that idle people can afford. Even though Chu Tianxiu spent a lot of money to buy a large number of war horses from the Pegasus Ranch, then entrusted Dongming to forge weapons and armor, and then selected the best group of soldiers from the original surrendered soldiers of the Sui army, and then raised these three thousand heavy cavalry, thinking that they were the trump card in his hands.

In fact, Chu Tianxiu raised such an elite soldier, but his purpose was actually very simple. He actually wanted to raise a group of elite cavalry to deal with the ancient special forces trained by Li Shimin - Xuanjia Cavalry. After all, under his command, there was a group of warriors who were more elite than Xuanjia Cavalry - Whale Hunter.

However, although whale hunters are very brave, they are all from naval forces and can fight on land, they can only be used as infantry at most. If they are asked to drive ducks on the shelves and use these two-legged whale hunters to deal with the six-legged black armored cavalry, it would be a bit too difficult.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Tianxiu captured Jiangdu and recruited a large number of imperial guards of the Sui Dynasty, and then formed such a unit. When Chu Tianxiu sent Li Jing to attack Shandong, he knew that it was a tough battle, so he sent this heavy cavalry to Li Jing's command and temporarily under his jurisdiction.

It is precisely because of this that although this heavy cavalry was formed by Chu Tianxiu, he has only seen the power of this heavy cavalry until today.
