Chapter 18 That Rain

Sha Bo is a hero. Although many nobles next to him urged him to escape back, he still adopted An Suijia's suggestion, pulled out his own scimitar, and shouted to the surrounding Golden Wolf Guards: "Warriors of the Great Turks, our army is in trouble today. Only by fighting a way out can we survive. Are you afraid?"

"Khan, Changshengtian is watching us, the warriors of the Great Turks will never be afraid!" Thousands of golden wolf guards raised their swords together to pay tribute to Sha Bo.

"Okay, warriors, follow Ben Khan's wolf-headed flag and kill!" Sha Boluo rushed forward first, and the personal guards beside him raised the wolf-headed flag high.

"Huho! Huho!" Seeing the direction of the wolf-headed big flag, the other Turks did not hesitate, followed behind the Golden Wolf Guard and rushed towards the Sui army on the right. One side successfully ambushed, and the other side was desperate. After a while, the two sides collided fiercely, shouting and screaming, weapons intersecting everywhere, blood sprinkling.

This time, Yang Shuang dispatched an army of 50,000. Although the Turks suffered heavy losses, the Sui army was divided into several routes. In fact, there were not as many Turks as any one. Sha Bo was in danger and quickly tore open a hole and rushed out of the Sui army's encirclement. However, there were only a few thousand people who could come out with him. After Sha Bo Lie and the most elite Golden Wolf Guard, the rest were trapped in the Sui army's encirclement again and were unable to rush out. After fighting for a long time, seeing that the situation was hopeless, many Turks had to throw down their weapons and surrender.

Yang Guang was the first time he actually participated in a war. Although he had been by Yang Shuang's side and had no chance to fight, he was full of passion. The Sui Dynasty won the war so easily made Yang Guang both excited and made him feel that fighting was just like this. This battle could be done if he came to command.

Sha Bo fled to Hengzhou with thousands of people, and there was still his 80,000 army there. It would be safe only if he arrived in Hengzhou. Shuozhou was not far from Hengzhou, nor was it close, and it was about 200 miles away. If it were normal, the cavalry could arrive in a day and a night, but the Sui army had not relaxed in chasing him, and sometimes had to fight and stop, or even deviate from the main road.

Moreover, the Great Wall was the territory of the Sui army after all. Many counties and counties heard that Sha Boluo was defeated, and sent county soldiers to intercept Sha Boluo. In terms of combat power, these county soldiers naturally did not have the opponent of the Jinlang Guard. Sha Boluo was afraid that the Sui army would catch up when he was entangled by the county soldiers, but he did not dare to fight with the Sui army's county soldiers. When he encountered it, he had to avoid it. He took many detours along the way. It was not until the soldiers and horses of Hengzhou learned that he was defeated and sent a large army to greet him. Sha Boluo safely arrived in Hengzhou. At this time, there were only 2,000 people left by his side.

Although Sha Boluo converged with all the troops, the fall of Shirakawa Road was equivalent to isolating his other troops. Sha Boluo kept sending messengers, hoping to get in touch, or reopen the Shirakawa Road, or jointly attack the weak areas of the Sui army and mobilize the Sui army, so that he had the chance to turn defeat into victory.

In Gaoyueyuan hundreds of miles away from Liangzhou, 30,000 Sui troops had been besieged for many days. The water that Shi Wansui snatched from the Turks had long disappeared. More and more soldiers in the camp fell down due to lack of water. All the people who had not fallen had their lips and were weak all over, and they were unable to fight anymore.

Although Shi Wansui pursued the Turks again later, the Turks found that the purpose of these Sui troops was to steal water and learned their lessons. Their clear water was stored in the back, and they did not carry water capsules. Shi Wansui did not even get a capsule of water, so he had to stop this behavior of damaging the soldiers in vain. Like others, he could only stay in the camp.

Dou Rongding had no choice but to think about escaping, but he was hesitant at first. When the soldiers slaughtered the horses, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Now there are more than 3,000 war horses left in the army, and these horses are also thirsty and powerless, so how can they ride them?

In order to quench thirst, horse urinate, and human urinate, the soldiers drank everything as long as it was water, but it was still useless. The Turks showed off their power outside, and now they didn't even need to retreat. They shouted everywhere every day to order the Sui army to surrender.

Although Dou Rongding was a playboy, he still had some backbone and refused the surrender of the Turks. These families still had the vision. At present, Sui Ting was strong and he surrendered and escaped his life, but he didn't know how the Turks would treat him. If he was a slave, it would be better to die and avoid implicating the family. He just didn't become a slave. If the Turks were defeated in the future, he would still be sent back to the court by the Turks and still could not survive.

It was already late at night, and the entire Sui army camp was as quiet as a dead city. The soldiers were reluctant to say a word and wasted even a little saliva. The Turks on the outside happily ignited a bunch of bonfires and roasted the plump sheep. They had never fought such an easy battle. Seeing that they would be surrounded for another three or five days, the Sui army would be thirsty even if they did not surrender.

A gust of wind blew over, and the bonfire was burning and the wind was blowing, and a hint of chill on his face felt a hint of chill. A Turkic soldier suddenly shouted: "No, is it going to rain?"

His companion smiled and hit him: "No, this is a sand dune. If it rains, will it still be a sand dune?"

The words of my companions were actually wrong. There was only the edge of the desert. Even deep in the desert, it would rain sometimes. It would only take very little rain. Maybe there would be no rain in a year. The Turkic man who shouted that it would rain relieved his doubts. Seeing that the Sui army would die of thirst in a few days, it would not be so coincidental that it would rain. Even if it rained a little lightly, it would not matter. The Sui army could last for several days at most.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the bonfires lit by the Turks were blown out by the wind. People couldn't even open their eyes when they were outside. All Turks had to get into the tent. This was outside the desert and there was no need to worry about sandstorms. Otherwise, the Turkic army would have to consider the risk of being buried alive.

"Crash" a dazzling lightning flashed across the entire Gao Yueyuan, and even the Sui army camp woke up and felt the coolness coming to his face. Many soldiers stuck out their tongues and licked the air. When they felt the smell of water, the entire army camp suddenly became boiling.

"Haha, it's going to rain."

"God bless us, we are saved."

"Thank you, God, you've opened your eyes."

...

"Crash." The raindrops as big as beans began to fall, turning the sand on the ground into small pits. Abo and his subordinates looked at the heavy rain outside the tent like a dead end. There was a huge depression in the tent. Many people couldn't help but wonder, could it be that God was deliberately helping the Sui army?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was already pouring rain in a blink of an eye. The rain had been falling for several hours. From the time the rain was closed, it was almost noon the next day. The Sui army camp was on a high slope made of rocks. The heavy rain had no effect on the Sui army. Many ponds were formed on the low ground on the high slope, so the Sui army used tools to hold water desperately, and the war horses were neighing by the pond.

The Turkic camps were a different scene. They were all stationed directly on the sand dunes. The heavy rain quickly formed a flood, and the mud and sand formed a series of ravines on the sand dunes. If people accidentally rolled in, they would be swallowed up by the mud and sand. Abo had to order the soldiers to move to the high ground in the rain.

Although the Sui army solved the problem of water, there were still many difficulties. Last night, many soldiers rushed into heavy rain and were wet by the rain. The weather turned colder. Many people had a cold wind and cold. Even if normal soldiers were besieged for so long, they were already exhausted. Seeing that the Turks temporarily released the periphery, Dou Rong decided to hold a meeting in the commander's tent and thought that they could take the opportunity to evacuate.

Changsun Sheng loudly opposed: "Marson, our army has only 3,000 horses and many injuries. Once it evacuated, it was pursued by the Turkic army. The consequences would be unimaginable. The last general thought that it would never be able to withdraw."

"If you don't retreat, are we waiting for death here?" Li Min laughed at Changsun Sheng, and the rest of them laughed.

"The Turks have won a lot, and their soldiers are arrogant and their generals are dry. Tomorrow, an envoy can be sent to Abo's place and ask each side to send one person to fight to the decisive battle. The Turks will definitely agree. At that time, our army will select a decisive victory for the Hu people, take the opportunity to kill them, and then use three thousand elite cavalry to cover them up and win, and it will not be too late to retreat at that time." Changsun Sheng said calmly.

Everyone looked at Shi Wansui, knowing that the Turks could not find an opponent when they asked him to fight. Dou Rongding thought about his life and reluctantly agreed to Changsun Sheng's advice: "Okay, thank you General Changsun to go to the Turkic camp for a hard time."

"The last general takes the order." Changsun Sheng knew that he was the best candidate and did not postpone it.

The flood last night swept away at least hundreds of Turkic people's lives. Although it was insignificant for the 100,000 Turkic army, the morale caused was very shocking. Almost all Turkic people believed that the Sui army was protected by Changshengtian, otherwise why would the sand dunes that had never been seen for a long time rain so heavily?

When Abo heard that Changsun Sheng came to his military camp, Abo still treated him with courtesy and agreed to Changsun Sheng's request. Now the Turks are not in a fight, and Abo also needs a victory to inspire his morale.

The next day, the sun came out again, and there were no traces of rain on the dunes except for some gullies. The two armies set up formations in the desert, only the battle flags were like clouds and swords and guns were shining.

A Turkic Fuli, who was nine feet tall and full of iron tower, appeared first, with a bright armor and a ghost-headed sword in front of the two armies. This person was still the most famous warrior under Abo's tent. As soon as he appeared, the entire Turkic army cheered.

Shi Wansui's armor was old and his silver spear was covered in blood. He was a completely shorter than the Turkic man. His horse was extremely thin. Although the Sui army was confident in Shi Wansui's martial arts, he couldn't help but worry about Shi Wansui.

As soon as the two appeared, their eyes immediately met. This battle was related to the turning point of the victory or defeat between the two sides, and no one dared to underestimate them.

"Babul, the Great Turkic Warrior, is here to be the general name!"

Babur means a tiger in Turkic language, and Shi Wansui said disdainfully: "Okay, that book will turn you into a dead tiger."

Babur was furious and didn't bother to ask Shi Wansui's name again. He rushed towards Shi Wansui with a long sword: "Kill!"

"Kill!" Shi Wansui also rushed towards Bapur when he was just moving. Although Shi Wansui's war horse was thin, his speed was not half a point slower than Bapur. The two sides happened to meet in the middle.

"Zheng, Zheng, Zheng..." A series of Mars splashed out in the middle. Neither side tried, and it was a feud between life and death from the beginning.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!" The drums were loud, and both sides cheered for their warriors.

"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories!"

"Huho! Huho!" The sergeant's cheers were no less than drums.

The two war horses moved slowly in the middle, then retreated, and then moved back. Suddenly, Shi Wansui grabbed the gap of Babul's ghost-headed sword, and the tip of the gun shook, and penetrated into Babul's throat like a poisonous snake. A bright red blood burst out from Babul's neck. Babul shook the horse and fell to the ground like a hill. His war horse whined and surrounded the master.

The Turks suddenly lost all their voices, and Changsun Sheng was overjoyed: "Clash!"

Three thousand elite cavalry rushed out of the Sui army formation, and the Turks had no intention of resisting. In an instant, they turned their horses and fled, and suddenly became a mess. Three thousand Sui army members rushed into the Turkic formation with a scattered sound, killing the Turkic people crying and howling, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The Turkic army quickly stepped on each other and collapsed and scattered.

The Sui army chased after dozens of miles. The war horses were exhausted and Changsun Sheng ordered troops to be sent. The Turks fled in all directions. It was not until the next day that Abo did not clean up the remaining troops again. He ordered the number of people and lost more than 10,000 troops. In fact, the maximum number of casualties was only 5,000. Others fled far away and would return one after another. However, this battle completely destroyed the morale of the Turks.

Abo had no choice but to send an envoy to the Sui camp and demanded a severance of war. Changsun Sheng was ordered to go to Aboya's tent to discuss the alliance. Abo was drinking and served guests. When the wine was half over, Changsun Sheng asked Abo to retreat and said, "The Great Turkic Khan was originally owned by Khan, but he was forced to take away by Sha Boluoji. He was always worried that you and him would retake the Khan's throne. Now that you have lost your troops and humiliated the country, your vitality has been greatly damaged. Can Sha Boluo still spare me?"

Changsun Sheng was just saying that Abo was worried, otherwise he could retreat without having to join Changsun Sheng. Abo suddenly said to Changsun Sheng with a frown: "Changsun is both civil and military, killing two birds with one stone, and powerful in the desert. Please ask your envoy to prepare a plan for him."

"What's the difficulty? Now that Datou Khan and Sui Lianhe are in harmony, Sha Boluo is helpless. If you rely on the Great Sui south and Datou in the west, are you still afraid that Sha Boluo will not succeed?"
