Chapter 323: The Battle of Shura

In the first month of 1684, the wind was still cold, and Zhiyanchong accepted the allegiance of twelve Mobei chiefs such as Aradhu Mahei, Bahetu, Sazar, and Badu at the edge of the desert. The prestige of the Han army in Mobei reached an unprecedented height. The enemy martyrs were the first to hear the wind and surrender, but the siege in the southeast corner of the city was solved without a fight.

At this time, it had been more than half a year since Xiao Tienu was trapped, and Yelu Tiege and Mu Qin had already come to the city three times, and they were repelled by Xiao Tienu three times. Hebul garrisoned northeast of the city of Kedun, but for several months did not join forces with Jerod Tiege to attack. Xiao Jun didn't understand the dynamics of the Mongols, and Xiao Tienu sneered: "What's so difficult to understand? Hebule looked down on Mu Qin and thought it was a shame to join forces with Mu Qin, it was that simple! ”

Xiao Jun said: "This ...... Wouldn't it be too stupid? ”

Xiao Tienu snorted coldly and said, "It's stupid! But it's also very valuable. ”

After the winter, Xiao Tienu's supply in Kedun City became more and more difficult, seeing that the grain and grass were about to run out, Xiao Tienu was about to abandon Kedun City and flee for his life, and suddenly the merchants in the south came with news: even the enemy martyrs were willing to exchange food with them. Xiao Tienu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and Xiao Jun said: "Is there good news in Yanjing?" ”

Xiao Tienu said: "Probably so! Half a month at most, ten days at the latest, and good news will come from the southeast. ”

Sure enough, ten days later, Topgar's vanguard of 1,000 men arrived in Kedun City, although his men had been called to join the army, but they had been held back by the enemy spirits and could not approach, until the enemy spirits changed their attitude recently, and Topgar was able to reach Kedun City smoothly. Three days later, Topgar's men and horses appeared in the south, and Yelu Tiege sent men to ambush them, and Xiao Tienu also sent Xiao Jun out of the city to meet them at the same time, and the two sides fought a fierce battle fifteen miles outside the city of Kedun, with half of the losses lost. There were 3,500 people when this horse entered the city, but more importantly, this horse brought a lot of cattle and sheep, although these hundreds of cattle and sheep are really nothing compared to the tens of thousands of troops in the city, but it is simply a timely rain for the army of Kedun City, which is close to running out of food!

Xiao Tienu ordered that night that half of the cattle and sheep would be slaughtered and the whole city would be feasted. In the past few months, tens of thousands of people in the city of Kedun have all been half-fed and half-starved, except for the most elite thousands, and some of the weak artisan women are even starving to death, so Xiao Tienu is really full of joy after this order is given.

Xiao Jun persuaded: "If we save a little bit of rations, just like we have in the past six months, we may be able to suffer for half a month more." Now that the southeast support has not arrived, it is too wasteful to slaughter half of the cattle and sheep in one night. ”

Xiao Tienu snorted: "Still waiting for half a month? Tomorrow is the decisive battle! ”

Xiao Junqi said: "Tomorrow? Why is it so urgent? Isn't it safer to wait for the uncle to come and attack after the teacher? ”

Xiao Tienu said: "Wait for the eldest brother to come to the teacher?" Will we still be able to find Jerod by then? They had already hidden in the mountains and forests with their tails between their legs. ”

On the second day the army went out of the city, divided into five routes, each with 6,000 men, and swept westward. Xiao Tienu left Xiao Jun to defend the city, Xiao Jun asked the army to attack, Xiao Tienu said: "No, you stay." This time out of the city, even if it is defeated, no more than half of the tens of thousands of soldiers will survive, and even I am not sure that I will come back alive. Desperate things that you don't fit into. Then he led his troops out of the city.

The Han army has been trapped for half a year, and last night they had a full meal and strength, and their bodies had strength, but the desire for battle in their hearts had soared to the extreme, and they went out of the city to find the enemy's traces, like a hungry wolf.

The Khitan army over there also heard the news that the Han army was marching north, blocking the annexation, and the enemy was asking for surrender, Yelu Tiege said to Mu Qin: "Now that the Han army is strong, if we wait for Zheyan to come to Kedun City, then we have no other way but to retreat west." The emperor's territory in the west has not yet stabilized, and if we lose this area, it will be difficult for us to make a comeback! Even the Uighurs and other subject states were shaken. We must take advantage of the fact that Orihiko Chong has not yet arrived to conquer the city of Kedun, so that we can still defend the city, and as soon as the offensive and defensive forces change, the situation will still have a chance to be reversed. The Han army brought by Zhi Yanchong stayed in Mobei for a short time. Once he retires, don't think about coming back in three or five years, Mobei will be our world again! ”

As a result, before the Khitan army attacked, Xiao Tienu went out of the city first, and Yelu Tiege sneered: "He's looking for death!" He estimated that Xiao Tienu had been tired for more than half a year, and he was not his opponent in any case when he went out of the city to fight, so he ordered a frontal attack.

The two sides, for their own purposes, clashed head-on fifty miles west of the city of Kedun.

Yelu Tiege wanted to win, so in addition to facing Xiao Tienu head-on, he also sent Mu Qin to plunder Xiao Tienu's back road. Yelu Tiege knew that his horsepower was more than that of the Han army, and he was sure that Mu Qin would be able to insert between Xiao Tienu and Kedun City first, and if Xiao Tienu divided his troops to intercept it, he would fall into a two-sided battle, and the strength of the Han army's frontal impact would be weakened, and if Xiao Tienu did not have time to divide his troops to intercept, Mu Qin would be able to cut off Xiao Tienu's back road.

It's a pity that Yelu Tiege was wrong, Xiao Tienu went out of the city this time, not to defeat at all, but to kill people, and even he himself made plans to break the boat. The Han army's scouts quickly discovered Mu Qin's movements, but Xiao Tienu did not disperse his forces to pay attention, his order was still: "Advance!" Advance! Find their main camp, find their main camp, and burn! Then kill! ”

Yelu Tiege laid out with the idea of victory, but Xiao Tienu was not, he fought with the mentality of ending up together!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Yelu Tiege's planned plan was to attack, so he didn't dodge, but when the two sides collided, he found out that he was wrong!

When the two sides took over, Xiao Tienu, who was already one of the five generalissimos of the Han Dynasty, actually rushed to the front - how could the marshal rush to the front? That's what the pioneers do! But now, Xiao Tienu is at the forefront! Following him were a death squad of 1,200 people, when the arrow came, these people would pounce on Xiao Tienu to block the arrow, and when the knife was cut, these people would pounce on Xiao Tienu to block the knife - this was their defense! And what about the offense? No offense, only killing! See people kill people, see horses kill horses! When you are tired, you can stand on the corpse and take a rest, and when you are hungry, you will drink the blood of the enemy's horses - or even human blood!

"Kill! Kill! ”

When Xiao Tienu slit the throat of the first Hu man, his eyes were red, and then a dead man next to him also followed suit, and then a hundred, a thousand!

That's not a thousand people, but a thousand beasts, a thousand madmen! Who has ever seen a warrior in regular army armor pounce on an enemy and bite someone to death? Why don't they use knives? Because they've forgotten! Who has ever seen a soldier fighting while chewing and swallowing the meat bitten off the enemy's face? If they are hungry, why don't they pull out the dry food from their waists? Because they've forgotten! Their boss, that Xiao Maniac, has a trait that makes soldiers crazy, a trait that drives thousands of people crazy!

Those thousand death squads are like a bunch of beasts, and when they are stained with blood, they become a bunch of crazy beasts! Their minions quickly tore a hole in Yelu Tiege's formation! But Xiao Tienu did not command the army to attack the weakness of this formation, but just continued to walk towards the place with the most people, and kill, kill, kill! They are exchanging their lives for the lives of their enemies, and their own blood for the blood of their enemies!

"We're not going to fight this time, we're going to kill people! What we want this time is not to win the battle, but to kill! Homicide! ”

Xiao Tienu has a big picture similar to Yang Yingqi, but he has a ruthlessness that Yang Yingqi does not have. Exchanging life for life, the person in front of him will fill in after he dies, which is not a big deal for a man with a population of tens of millions, but for Yelu Dashi, it may be a demographic blow that he can't afford!

Win or lose, just kill! When the mad beasts were completely stained with blood, they turned into a rolling blood ball, and wherever they rolled, they took death wherever they went!

This army of death keeps people falling, using desperate fighting methods to kill people quickly, and they themselves die quickly, but instead of shrinking, this blood ball is getting bigger and bigger! There are constantly sergeants who are infected by this emotion and rush in to join this group, not only the Han army sergeants, but even Yelu Tiege's subordinates! It was as if the group had stopped identifying each other by their clothing, but only by a cruel trait and intuition. Those who can't stand it are scared out of and urine and bile when they see their hideous faces, although it is under the sun, but this battlefield reminds people of hell - yes, this is hell, a hell for madmen! If you want to survive the aura emanating from this group of crazy people, the only way is to go crazy with them!

"Kill, kill, kill!"

There was a bleak white sun hanging in the sky of Mobei, and there were thousands of people screaming wildly under the white sun, and this big blood ball rolled over like this, and everywhere it passed was corpses and blood. The two armies met at three o'clock in the morning, and before noon the formation of both sides was completely disorganized.

"Woo-" The more than a thousand wolves howled, followed by half of the entire battlefield, followed by madness, one after another screaming to release their wildness, to release their desire to kill. By two o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers of the entire battlefield were completely out of the control of the generals, and it turned into a big melee. Yelu Tiege's previous plans and arrangements were all in ruins. Tens of thousands of people are almost all fighting on their own, at the beginning it was a test of courage, all those who did not have courage became corpses in the first round of fighting, in this round of fighting, Yelu Tiege's subordinates died two percent, and Xiao Tienu's subordinates died one percent. By noon, the formation was out of order, and the battle had been going on for nearly two hours, most of the people were starting to get tired, and the food they had eaten when they set out in the morning had been almost digested, and this was the time to test their physical strength! The death squad of more than 1,000 people actually cut off corpses directly on the battlefield - including human corpses and horse corpses - stuffed them alive into their stomachs to satisfy their hunger, and fought while eating. Seeing their bloody mouths and bloody teeth, most of the Khitan troops would be sick to their stomachs even if they were not frightened.

Horrific killings enveloped the entire battlefield. Yelu Tiege already understood that he was wrong, he shouldn't accept this battle, but he couldn't retreat, and if he retreated, he would only lose!

The Han army poured in from the east, and the Khitan army had no intention of retreating. After noon, everyone on this battlefield already knew that they had no chance to get out of this Shura field cleanly!

The Khitan army came to its senses, but unfortunately they realized it a little late, and the Han army, which had been awakened from the beginning, had completely smoothed out the advantages of the Khitan army in the first two rounds of fighting. At this moment, all the people who can still stand on the battlefield are people who have been forced to have courage, and all of them are people who have the strength to kill! Next, there is a confrontation with the enemy! At this time, the Han army already had a numerical advantage, and at this stage of the battle, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides only depended on the numbers.

At this time, if one side has 3,000 or 5,000 more people, the result may be completely different!

When Yelu Tiege found out that Xiao Tienu's death squad rushed to him, he realized what a stupid thing it was to divide his troops and let Mu Qin take them to encircle and intercept him! If Mu Qin didn't take that team of people, if this team of people stood in front of him, then Xiao Tienu's death squad would not be able to rush forward.

Yelu Tiege has already seen that the strength of the Han army has actually been almost used, if the men and horses taken by Mu Qin can enter this battlefield in time-

"Then we might win!"

He thought so when Yelu Tiege was dragged off his horse by a Han soldier who had only one hand and three-quarters of his head left.
