    Suddenly, there was the sound of big drums on the mountains on both sides, and then there were shouts of killing, and then countless Sui army flags were immediately erected on the mountains on all sides.

    "There is an enemy!"

    "The Sui Army, it's the Sui Army!"

    Facing the overwhelming shouts of killing, I was so shocked that I couldn¡¯t even speak.

    The front army retreated hurriedly, but then came the mountains behind the army. Countless rolling logs and rocks fell down, killing and injuring the Turks.  The most frightening thing is that these stones are huge and extremely heavy. After rolling down from the mountain, they just blocked the way for the Turks to retreat into the valley.

    The Turks have always been fierce, proud to die in battle, and rejoiced when they heard of a battle.  If the previous Turkic elites faced a sudden blow, no matter how sudden it was, they would choose to test the opponent's strength first.  However, although the Turks at this time may have been elite before, they had gone through several twists and turns since entering Guanzhong and had long been frightened.

    The former army commander Ashina Huzhen shouted, "Defend the enemy! Defend the enemy!" But at this time, the Turks, who had not been groomed for dozens of days, had weak legs and feet, weak hands and feet, and could not even lift a knife or bow.  It can't grow, so it won't have the energy to fight.  Seeing the Sui army on the opposite side raining down arrows, these Turks found it difficult to dodge.

    Originally, Huang Mingzhen thought that the Turks were numerous and their cavalry had extraordinary combat power, so he planned to restrict the opponent's cavalry to hilly areas to weaken the Turks' combat power.  The same goes for asking Yuanzhou to send more reinforcements, otherwise who would be willing to share the military exploits in vain with others.

    But when Huang Mingzhen took action today, he realized that this was not the tiger and wolf army in his mind at all, but just a group of defeated dogs with no intention of fighting.

    Seeing that the Sui army was all over the mountains and plains, Hu Zhen was more awake than Duliu at this time.  Now the Sui army is heavily surrounding them, trying to encircle and annihilate them in this dead place. They must choose the weak line of the Sui army to open a gap in order to escape.

    Seeing that Huang Mingzhen and others were just standing around shooting arrows and not taking the initiative to attack, Hu Zhen immediately understood that the other party probably did not understand the combat power of the Turkic army and was afraid.

    Therefore, Hu Zhen decided to personally lead the team to climb the mountains on both sides of the rear.  There are fewer Sui troops here, and after capturing this place, they can get in touch with the remaining soldiers in the valley.  In the end, even if they fail to break out, the Turkic army can at least withdraw into Longshan.

    Hu really didn't dare to delay. He was afraid that the Sui army on the opposite side would discover his weakness and launch an all-out attack, which would end the situation.

    Of course, what Hu Zhen doesn¡¯t know is that at this time, Huang Mingzhen¡¯s thousands of people are actually about the same size as the Turks.  The Turks were exhausted and demoralized, and Huang Mingzhen's thousands of men were simply a group of third-rate troops who could not withstand a bloody battle.

    Huang Mingzhen has experienced war for a long time, so how can he not see the true situation of the Turks.  If he still had the invincible Datong army in hand, Huang Mingzhen would have launched an assault long ago, even if there were only more than a hundred people.  But now he wanted to attack, but he was afraid that the mountain road was dangerous, his troops would be unable to fight, and it was difficult to predict the enemy, so he had to choose to defend.

    Hu Zhen dismounted, and while he ordered his archers to cover him, he personally held a scimitar and climbed up the mountains on both sides with his bodyguards.

    Hu Zhen¡¯s headquarters has not experienced several disastrous defeats, and its combat power is considered the strongest.  Although the Turks are not good at climbing, the dismounted cavalry are quite brave.  Hu Zhen and the others half-hunched their bodies, relying on the cover of the grass on the mountainside and holding small shields in their hands, they pushed towards the mountain step by step.

    Although Liu Yunfang¡¯s tribe on the mountain was not good at hand-to-hand combat, they still knew how to throw wood at them when the Turks came over.  The boulders and fireballs on the mountain were thrown desperately down the mountain.  The part of the mountain close to the top of the mountain was like a "wall", and people could not climb it. Hu Zhen's men had no way to go up until halfway up the mountain, and they were beaten down by wood cannons and rocks from two mountains, making them unable to move forward.

    Seeing that Hu Zhen could not advance by foot combat alone, he ordered his crossbowmen to suppress the Sui army on the top of the mountain.  However, the mountains on both sides were so steep that the Turks' bows and arrows not only failed to reach the mountains, but fell into the Turks' formation, killing many people.

    Seeing that there was nothing to do, Hu Zhen had no choice but to protrude from the front gate, otherwise if he stayed here if the Sui army did not fight, they would also run out of food and water.

    Hu Zhen ordered the concentration of archers and crossbowmen to suppress the Sui army on Guancheng.

    The archers from both sides had no choice but to shoot at each other across the city wall.

    And Hu Zhen, holding a shield, shouted a challenge at the pass, hoping that the Sui army would choose to fight.  Huang Mingzhen sat high at the top of the city, looking at the ugly Turks below but sitting still. No matter how Hu Zhen challenged him, he refused to answer.

    By afternoon, the two sides had been in a stalemate for nearly an hour.  At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the heat was unbearable. The Turks were sweating profusely from the heat, and there were flying arrows and boulders overhead from time to time. They were already exhausted mentally and physically.  The Sui army was in the city??, once I'm on the mountain, I take advantage of it to enjoy the cool air, which is very comfortable.

    At this time, Hu Zhen, who was under the city, couldn¡¯t scold anymore.  Many Turks had forgotten that this was a battlefield, and regardless of the danger, they went to find shaded places to enjoy the coolness.

    Huang Mingzhen stood at the juncture and looked at the Turks below who were tired and their energy had dropped.

    Huang Mingzhen's face condensed, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to open the door, carry a long spear in his hand, wear heavy armor, and personally led 500 elite cavalry to kill the Turks on the opposite side.  Of course, the five hundred elite cavalry that can now be gathered for field battles is the limit of Huang Mingzhen's troops. Most of the others are mounted infantry, making it difficult for them to fight.

    At this time, when the Turks were unprepared, the city gate of Muxiaguan opened, and Huang Mingzhen on horseback rushed towards the opposite side like an arrow.

    The Turks were originally squeezed into a small and narrow area and were in a dilemma.  When Huang Mingzhen's cavalry attacked the Turks, the panicked Turkic cavalry retreated one after another.

    The Turks are surrounded by mountains on all sides. The more the outer troops press inward, the more panicked the soldiers become, crowded and trampled incessantly.  In panic, countless people fell off their horses and died tragically in the continuous pushing and trampling.

    At this time, the entire Turks could not even form a front line, let alone any formation to defend against the enemy.

    Huang Mingzhen, who was one horse ahead, came galloping with a big spear in his hand, one at a time, knocking down the people closest to him. It was like the sky was collapsing and the earth was collapsing, shaking the Turks to the point of pissing themselves.  Hu Zhen, who was leading the army in front, was caught off guard and could not mount his horse, so he was driven back.

    And Huang Mingzhen has long paid attention to Hu Zhen.  Seeing that the tiger was really about to escape, Huang Mingzhen's horse was so fast that he arrived in front of him early.

    Huang Mingzhen held a long spear in his hand and shouted loudly, like thunder roaring.  Hu Zhen subconsciously turned his head and looked back. Huang Mingzhen's long spear had arrived. The tip of the spear was glowing, straight from the back to the chest, and nailed to the ground.

    Seeing Huang Mingzhen kill Hu Zhen, the Turks were defeated.

    Du Liu who was behind was also shocked, but at this time he had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Seeing Huang Mingzhen leading people to kill him, he wanted to escape but he no longer had the good luck as before

    The whole battle ended at midnight in the afternoon, and the battlefield became a "one-sided" massacre by the Sui army.  About three to four thousand Turks were killed, and all the others were captured.

    Du Liu, who was in a fierce mood when he arrived, could only lower his proud head.

    These prisoners were more numerous than the Sui army, and Huang Mingzhen did not dare to release them easily.  They had to unequip their horses and press them into circles one by one, waiting for the arrival of the main force.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
