How to fight in the grasslands of Pingchuan?

Yao Xitong's idea was very simple, to abandon all strategic skills, and the generals of both sides led the men and horses to directly rush and kill.

Xisu did not do this, and when they spread the news that the army was pressing the border, they had already divided the team into small groups and used different ways to penetrate into the rear of Northern Liao. These horses set fire to the hinterland of Northern Liao, slaughtered the clans, caused riots, made people panic, and directly affected the morale of the front.

Santo didn't want to fight, and wanted to negotiate peace, but he didn't want to stop the team brought out by Yan Yu from defecting without warning. Without waiting for the Xisu army to arrive, this team turned their horses and entered their own house, and Santo was caught off guard.

By the time the rebellion was successfully quelled, the Northern Liao army had lost its sharpness, the internal struggle was becoming more and more intense, and the tribal soldiers and horses were not convinced by each other, and it seemed that they were about to fall apart before the arrival of the Xisu army.

Santo really had no choice, he found the crow, hoping that the Yelu royal family could regain their morale and win the battle. The raven refused his request, and defended the city, watching Santo go to his death with his soldiers and horses.

When Yao Xitong received this information, he had already led his men and horses to attack the city of Xisu.

The soldiers and horses of Xisu did not come out of the city, and I heard that the general who defended the city was a famous general of Xisu. It is obvious that Xisu received information and knew that the Northern Liao would send troops to attack Wangcheng.

Time passed day by day, the Northern Liao battlefield was defeated, and the Xisu army slowly advanced towards the capital Daliao. Once the last line of defense held by the crows is broken, what if Yao Xitong defeats the Xisu Royal City, he can't let Beiliao and Xisu exchange the royal city!

He promised Xiao Bao'er to return in ten days, seeing that half of the time had passed, and the army was still stopped outside Xisu City, he was really anxious, and he wished that he would rush into the city to kill the Xisu royal family and set fire to the palace......

I only sigh that Xisu is not a Wu tribe, Xisu has been founded for nearly a hundred years, and the city has long been prepared, and the masters who follow the royal family are strong. Even if the emperor is killed, there are clan relatives who succeed to the throne, which is completely different from the situation where the throne of the Wu people is inherited by a woman pretending to be a man.

When Yao Xitong was so worried that his hair was about to turn white, an unexpected person appeared.

Nantuotuo came to the city gate with more than 10,000 men and horses of his own tribe and tens of thousands of people he captured in Xisu.

He sent the archers in a line, and tens of thousands of people were sent to the gates of the city in batches, so that these people could go and attack the city. If they don't, the archers standing behind will shoot them without hesitation.

The unarmed people rushed towards the royal city with a cry of shouting, and the generals who defended the city could not bear to shoot them, but they had to order the killing of these people.

By the time it was dark, many corpses had piled up at the foot of the city walls.

Nantuotuo sent a second group of civilians to attack the city, and these people stepped on the corpses of their compatriots and persistently rushed towards the city gate. Both left and right are dead, and if they can enter the city, they may still be alive.

After nightfall, Nantuotuo sent a third group of people, the elderly, women, and children.

The old man staggered, almost crawling towards the city gate. The women and children also walked slowly, turning their heads as they went, not wanting to face the corpses and fearing the arrows behind them.

When they reached the wall of corpses, neither the woman nor the child dared to move forward. They fell to their knees and cried loudly, and the children were so hungry and frightened that they did not dare to cry at first, and when they heard their family members crying, they cried the loudest.

Nantuotuo surprisingly didn't let anyone release the arrows, allowing the cry of this group of people to break through the sky and shake the night.

Yao Xitong finally understood Xiao Baoer's worries about him.

This is war, he doesn't want to see such a scene at all, if it is replaced by the Central Plains, he even has the impulse to let go of this group of innocent people.

Nan Tuotuo used a mask to cover half of his face that was scratched by Yin Yao, and sneered: "I can't figure out why she chose you, the grassland is only suitable for the strong, she is very strong, you are too weak." With that, he raised his hand and waved, and arrows rained down on the still weeping crowd.

The crying stopped abruptly, but it made the silent night more terrifying, and I believe that everyone will spend a sleepless night.

After daybreak, another group of people was escorted to the gates of the city. Before they could get closer, the city gate opened, and the people of Xisu finally couldn't bear this silent provocation and planned to face it head-on.

Nan Tuotuo said to Yao Xitong magnificently, "Leave it to me here, you hurry up and come back to help, I don't want my hometown to be copied when I go back." ”

Yao Xitong rode his horse and left, he had never seen Nantuotuo fight, but he believed in Xiao Bao'er's vision. Since Xiao Bao'er dared to hand over Northern Liao to Nan Tuotuo, it shows that this person is indeed talented.

The battle between Xisu and Northern Liao was coming to an end, and the Northern Liao warriors were very tenacious, even if there was only one person left, they would bravely rush forward to the Xisu army.

Xuan Ze was ambushed nearby with his men and horses, and Vice General Xiao stood beside him and asked, "Which side shall we help?"

The strength of the Northern Liao people made Xuan Ze hesitate, if he helped Xisu, as long as he couldn't destroy the Northern Liao, today's battle was very likely to stimulate the morale of the entire Northern Liao. In the end, it is difficult to say that it will be Xisu who will be destroyed.

If you help Northern Liao, let go of such a good opportunity, and wait for this neighbor to quell the civil strife, I am afraid that the grassland will soon be unified and aimed at Daxia.

He said: "In the long run, the people of Northern Liao are not good neighbors. ”

Vice General Xiao agreed, "My subordinates think so too." Then he asked, "We are directly attacking Daliao, and the fisherman profits." Or do you want to intercept this group of Northern Liao soldiers and let the Xisu army attack Daliao directly?"

"Intercept the Northern Liao army, and leave no one alive. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, we do not recognize it. ”

With the help of the Xia army, the Xisu army gave up the encirclement and suppression and went straight to the Northern Liao royal city.

Thousands of Northern Liao warriors were soon surrounded by the black Xia army, and their generals asked them to hand over Lord Chen, and a cadre of soldiers had no idea why Lord Chen was in the Northern Liao army, and their intuition told them that this was a conspiracy of the Xia army.

At this moment, the earth trembled, smoke and dust billowed out, and an army arrived in the direction of Xisu.

Someone in the Northern Liao army shouted, "Wolf flag, it's wolf flag, we have reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived!"

The banner of the golden wolf's head on a black background, this team is indeed the reinforcement of Northern Liao.

Vice General Cui asked in surprise: "The Xisu Royal City was breached so quickly? ”

Xuan Ze didn't say anything, his eyes were focused on the other party's generals. The person who led the troops back was Yao Xitong, the two armies were fighting, he was not wearing armor, and his gray short shirt made him look like a military Chinese sergeant.

"Withdraw!"

Vice Admiral Cui looked at Xuan Ze in disbelief, "Boss, there are less than 20,000 people coming, we have the strength to wipe them all out, why do you want to withdraw?"

Yao Xitong allocated half of his troops to Nan Tuotuo, and there were indeed not many people with him. The Xia army has an absolute advantage in numbers, and Vice General Cui does not think that the Xia army will lose.

Xuan Ze still said the same thing, "Pass my order, withdraw!"

"Commander, since we have already sent troops, how can we say that we will withdraw? Marching and fighting is not a joke, please think twice. ”

Compared with Gao Wenyun, Vice General Cui was not convinced by Xuan Ze. In addition to making a good gun, he didn't believe that this Song lord, who had never been on the battlefield, could lead a good team.

Xuan Ze knew what Vice Admiral Cui was thinking, but he didn't explain much.

Questioned: "I am the chief general, you are the deputy general, and disobeying orders is the military regulations that you emphasize all day long?"

"Commander, if you don't clearly explain the reasons for withdrawing troops, the last general would rather accept military justice than withdraw his troops. ”

Xuan Ze sighed secretly, it obviously took more time to completely control this team in his hands.

"Where is the princess of Beiliao?"

Vice General Cui was stunned for a moment, "How does the last general know where the princess of Northern Liao is? Maybe he is guarding the royal city in Daliao, or maybe he has gone with the army to attack Xisu, which has something to do with the withdrawal of the army?"

"Yao Xitong has received the princess's great grace, and he will never let the princess get into danger, he came long to help the princess, but the princess is not in the army. ”

"Maybe in the Great Liao King City?"

"No, Jerubol is not the kind of person who sits in the palace and is protected. ”

Vice General Cui was anxious, he knew that Xuan Ze and Xiao Baoer had a lot of relationship, but was it necessary to analyze a woman at such a time?

"Boss, the last general is stupid, you directly tell the last general where the princess is. ”

"I guess the princess took someone to Ulan, so you can withdraw your troops and return to help. ”

Vice General Cui opened his mouth wide, he didn't dare to think about this kind of thing, let alone believe that anyone would do it.

"Yelu Bao'er is stupid, the people of Xisu have hit the door, and she still dares to come to Daxia to provoke?"

Xuan Ze smiled bitterly, Xiao Baoer has never been stupid, and it is because of this that he is so jealous.

"General Cui, I know that I have just entered the barracks, and I don't know much about marching and fighting. But I know Jerbol's character very well, and I will trust me once today. ”

Xuan Ze said so, although Vice General Cui didn't believe that Xiao Bao'er dared to choose to go to Ulan at such a time, he still chose to believe Xuan Ze once and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Ulan had already been broken by Xiao Bao'er's 30,000 iron cavalry, and Tuo Mu Ti was thinking about whether to drive straight from Ulan to Chuncheng, the capital of Chendi, but Xiao Bao'er stopped him.

"The Xia army will soon come back to help, and we will destroy the Ulan camp and leave. ”

When Xuanze led his troops back to help, he happened to see the smoke rising from the Ulan battalion. Vice General Cui patted his thigh and scolded, "Prairie barbarian, steppe barbarian, how can you still think of attacking Great Xia at this time." Boss, their men and horses must still be in the territory of Great Xia, and we will be caught off guard. ”

The grassland is open, and if you want to intercept Xiao Bao'er's men and horses, you have to disperse your forces now and block any road to Northern Liao.

Xuan Ze said: "I don't know how many people they have, if we block the territory, will Feng Gongzi's group of men and horses also rush to Ulan? ”

The fall of Ulan made Vice General Cui teach Xiao Bao'er the madness, and he cautiously analyzed: "Northern Liao civil strife, the soldiers and horses were broken into several pieces, the last general really can't guess how many people and horses the princess of Northern Liao will have? No more than 50,000, we have a chance of winning, if it exceeds, hang!"

"Fight!" this is Xuan Ze's final decision.

Since he wanted to blame Gao Han's death for Northern Liao, Xiao Bao'er's entry into Ulan saved a lot of explanations. The army pulled out of the camp, no matter what, it should be fought, even if it lost, it could make the Xia army realize the true strength of Northern Liao.

Xiao Bao'er's 30,000 horses were quickly blocked in Pudabala, 30,000 against 100,000, which should have been a battle without suspense. Vice General Cui shook his head secretly when he saw the iron horse behind Xiao Bao'er, and whispered to Xuan Ze that he had never seen this team, and if there was no accident, this was the hole card left by the King of Northern Liao to Xiao Bao'er.

Xuan Ze looked at Xiao Bao'er fixedly, this person was the same as Yao Xitong, and he was not wearing armor. The gray-blue robe had already lost its luster during the long journey, but it did not affect her kingly temperament at all.

She sat on the back of the horse like that, her eyes calmly looking at Xia Jun, as if she was thinking about what to do next.

Xuan Ze held a spear and sent a signal of challenge to Xiao Bao'er, with his understanding of Xiao Bao'er, this person should accept the challenge and face it fearlessly.

It turned out that he was wrong, Xiao Bao'er looked at the towing sticker, who picked up the scimitar and nodded in response.

Xuan Ze didn't look at the wooden post, he still looked at Xiao Bao'er, his eyes were full of appeals for a decisive battle with her.

Xiao Bao'er ignored all this, as if Xuan Ze's identity was not worth her action at all.

Xuan Ze was furious, and rode his horse towards Tuo Mu Ti, who fearlessly raised his knife and fought, and the two fought.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, and a cold arrow suddenly hit Vice General Cui, and the Xia army was in a commotion.

At this moment, Xiao Bao'er took the lead and led the army to break through the encirclement of the Xia army and rushed towards the grassland.

Xuan Ze immediately gave up the battle and returned to command the army.

Vice General Cui wanted Xuan Ze to lead the army to continue the pursuit, but Xuan Ze refused and said, "Let's go back to the camp first." ”

"Boss, the Northern Liao army is unruly, if you let them go, it will inevitably become a big trouble. ”

The two armies clashed, but Xiao Baoer ordered someone to attack, this despicable behavior is really shameful. No wonder Vice General Cui was so angry, who would have expected that the Northern Liao Army, which has always been upright, would do such a thing.

Xuan Ze soothed: "At this time, the pursuit has lost the opportunity, and we will encounter the reinforcements brought by Feng Gongzi, so we have little chance of winning." Go back to Ulan first, your injuries are critical. Besides, the Ulan camp was burned, and we still have a lot to do. ”

Because the Xia army had no intention of pursuing, Xiao Bao'er's cavalry soon fought their way home from the Xia army's encirclement.

The plan set by Tuo Mu Ti and Xiao Bao'er was for him to drag Xuan Ze, and Xiao Bao'er led the troops to break through. I didn't expect Xiao Baoer to shout for someone to release cold arrows, this behavior is really shameless.

"Princess, don't you believe that I can drag the chief general of the Xia army?"

"Letter. ”

"Then why are you ......?"

"The Xia army is several times larger than us, Vice General Cui is a veteran in the army, and you, me, and this army are all on the battlefield for the first time. We are the last hope of Northern Liao, and we can only do so today. ”

"I know all this, but the two armies are facing each other, and the princess really shouldn't be like this. ”

Xiao Bao'er smiled disapprerovingly, "I am the first queen of Northern Liao, if everything is according to the rules, wouldn't it be very boring." After this battle, the vitality of Northern Liao was greatly damaged, and it was only within a few years that it could regain its former glory. In this case, a queen who does not follow the rules is better than a queen who is easy to guess. ”

Tuo Mu Ti was noncommittal about Xiao Bao'er's explanation, just waiting for the civil strife to calm down, he would be optimistic about Xiao Bao'er, and he would not let him be as cunning as the Central Plains.

Yao Xitong originally thought that he would fight the Xia army head-on, but when he found that Xuan Ze had returned to Ulan with his troops, he didn't guess that Xiao Bao'er would be there. Back in Da Liao, the crow said that Xiao Bao'er did not appear, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Xiao Bao'er might be in Ulan.

Speaking of understanding Xiao Baoer, he is not as good as Xuan Ze. But when it comes to the impact on Xiao Baoer, he surpasses Xuanze.

The butcher and his army were left in Daliao to rest.

Yao Xitong left the team and went to Ulan alone, and a few days later, he finally met Xiao Bao'er halfway. Regardless of his exhaustion, he happily wanted to keep Xiao Bao'er, but was stopped by Tuo Mu Ti, "Master Feng, please salute when you see the wolf lord!"
