"Retreat!"
There was not much time for Shibi Khagan to consider. If he did not retreat quickly, the central army he was fighting would be threatened by the West Ocean army.
"Send 60,000 cavalrymen as the vanguard. The rest of the troops will protect the central army and retreat to the grasslands along the border of Bing Province.”
Shibi Khagan immediately issued an order.
Even if they wanted to retreat, they couldn't let the 200,000-strong army retreat in a hurry. That would easily cause even greater casualties during the retreat.
As soon as the order was given, the central army began to move. The other leaders also began to move.
They needed to gather the army, surround the center, and slowly retreat to protect Shibi Khagan.
The Turkic central army began to move, countless Turkic cavalrymen gathered to the north as the vanguard. The light cavalry on the left and right wings were nimble enough to pin down the enemy and protect the central army from retreating.
It had only started to operate now, and it would take a lot of time to safely evacuate from Yanmen Pass.
"Don't leave, Turks!"
At the gate of Yanmen Pass, Lai Hu 'er took the lead. He had been suppressing his anger for the past few days, and he wanted to release it all today.
Lai Hu 'er swung the Tiger Head Steel Spear in his hand, his eyes wide with anger.
A few scattered Turkic cavalry had fallen behind and were being watched by Lai Hu 'er.
He rode his horse at top speed, his spear in hand as he charged into the retreating Turkic army. Lai Hu 'er was a valiant general of the Great Sui, and when he charged into the Turkic cavalry, he was like a ferocious tiger charging into the ranks of the Turkic army.
Roar!
The Tiger-Head Steel Spear was swung with great might, and the wind whistled like a whistle, making Lai Hu 'er look like a ferocious tiger that had descended from the mountain.
The Bingzhou elites behind him also charged into the Turkic army and engaged in close combat with the Turkic cavalry.
Although the elite troops on the border of Bingzhou weren't as terrifying as the West Ocean army, they were still quite brave when their morale was high.
Their bravery could be described as fearless. Even if the Turks stabbed them in the chest with their spears or struck them with their sabers, they would still be able to hold their breath and launch a suicidal attack.
On the right, the Taiyuan garrison led by Li Yuan was not to be outdone. The Taiyuan garrison was also fighting with their lives on the line. Such a fierce fighting style truly made the Turks afraid.
"The Yanmen Pass has been opened, and the Great Sui has launched a full-scale counterattack!”
Li Shiming and his sister, who were following behind the West Ocean army, immediately saw Li Yuan, who was clad in armor and charging toward them.
Li Yuan and Lai Hu 'er had appeared in this place. Apart from Great Sui's full counterattack, the two of them could not find any other reason.
Thump, thump, thump.
The war drums sounded again. Although Yuwen Cheng, who was wearing golden armor, could not fight side by side with the soldiers, he kept beating the drums to boost the morale of the soldiers.
Boom!
With yet another boom, the King of Qin, Yang Ji, led his thirty-thousand-strong Western Sea army and closed in on the Turkic army.
The Western Sea army was already bathed in blood. The most terrifying scene was that one of the soldiers was covered in intestines, and countless Turkic heads hung from their horses.
Blood continued to flow from their heads. Both the West Ocean soldiers and their warhorses were dyed red by the blood of the Turks, and their original appearances could no longer be seen.
"The West Ocean Army of the King of Qin is no different from animals. How can they be so ruthless?”
Some of the Turkic leaders 'eyelids twitched as they saw the Western Sea army.
"They are about to reach the middle army, what are you guys still doing?”
Shibi Khagan saw the West Ocean army getting closer and closer, and he let out a furious roar. Only then did the group of leaders react.
They hurriedly led the elite Turkic cavalry to stop the Western Sea army, but they were extremely unwilling to do so. No one was willing to face an army, not even the Shibi Khagan.
"Kill them!"
One of the leaders finally made up his mind and gave the order to the soldiers of the tribe to charge. A troop of 50,000 elite cavalrymen took the initiative to charge at the West Ocean army and the brave King of Qin.
"Charge! Charge!"
When the other leaders saw this, they also launched their attacks helplessly.
The fifty thousand elite cavalry were temporarily organized into elite Turkic troops to stop the Western Sea army.
He led a total of five Turkic tribal leaders.
"Kill them."
Yang Ji's lips moved, and he repeated the military order with an indifferent expression.
From the time he came to Yanmen Pass to rescue, other than the word 'kill', he did not seem to have given any other orders.
The Western Sea army clashed violently with the fifty thousand Turkic elites, the sound of spears piercing into flesh echoing.
The heads of the Turks continued to fly into the sky. If a West Ocean soldier was killed by the Turks and had no weapons, he would use his mouth to bite the neck of the enemy and take away a Turkic soldier.
Such ferocity deeply shocked everyone.
Not only the Turks, but even the Sui army was wondering how the King of Qin managed to raise such a terrifying army.
Was it only because of the harsh environment of the West Ocean?
"The death of the Turks is not worth regretting!"
Li Cunxiao's eighteen horsemen charged out from the Turkic cavalry, knocking over several dozen of them. Li Cunxiao and Yang Ji formed a pincer formation, trapping the fifty thousand Turkic soldiers.
The West Ocean army of less than thirty thousand had managed to pincer fifty thousand Turkic soldiers. If this had happened elsewhere, they would have become a joke.
But the Turks didn't find it funny. Instead, they felt a bone-chilling chill seep into their bones.
Ta Ta.
The Dark Stallion galloped forward and quickly led Yang Ji away from the West Ocean army.
"Your Highness, are you planning to charge into the Turkic army alone?”
Li Shi Min was stunned when he saw this.
Yes, Yang Ji proved it with his actions.
Not only had he killed his way into the Turkic army, but he had also defeated three Turkic leaders.
"From ancient times until now, it has been difficult to take the head of an enemy general in an army. Even generals like Zilong and Guan Yu could not do it, but His Highness the King of Qin did it easily. This is the real way to take the head of an enemy general as if it was in a bag.”
Lai Hu 'er sighed when he saw this scene.
"Retreat!"
The remaining Turkic generals turned their horses around in fear.
If even their leader was so terrified, then there was no need to even mention the Turkic cavalry behind them.
They also retreated with their leader. They were afraid that the West Ocean army would catch up if they were too slow, so they fled without any regard for their own safety.
Perhaps some of the Turkic cavalry had been killed by the West Ocean army, but many more had fallen off their horses and were trampled to death by their companions 'horses.
