When the sentry came to report that there was no fight on the Tucheng side, Xiao Tienu's face couldn't help but sink, it seemed that he had underestimated that group of Han people!

"Head! There was no sound at all, could it be that they fled overnight? A leader said.

"Run?" Another leader said, "Where can they flee?" They had a few hundred men, one or two thousand cattle and horses, and we had our sentry posts on the north and west, and it was impossible for them to pass through there without any movement. ”

"Maybe they've fled east."

"East?" Xiao Tienu sneered: "There is the big leader tribal army of the Khitans over there, if those Han people go to the east, they are looking for death!" ”

"Boss! They are Han Chinese, how can we know these things so clearly? ”

As he was talking, a report came from the front: "Xiao Ang has settled down on the side of Tucheng, and he is sending people to this side." ”

One of the leaders said, "Chief, they're here to replenish the water." Shall we have an ambush? ”

Xiao Tienu said: "How many people came?" ”

"Two hundred people."

Xiao Tienu said: "Xiao Ang's subordinates are all guys who are used to being pampered in Shangjing, and a hundred of us deserve four hundred of them, but it's too unnecessary to fight this battle, let's avoid it." ”

"Chief, where are you going? Go back? ”

Xiao Tienu snorted and said, "I didn't see the fate of those Han people, I was unwilling." Let's go to the south and rest and drink the horses, and inquire about their whereabouts before making plans. ”

Xiao Ang in Xiao Tienu's mouth is the eldest son of Xiao Fengxian, a favored minister of the Liao State. Xiao Fengxian is the brother of the Liao lord and concubine, and the concubine is favored, and even Xiao Fengxian's family ascends to heaven. Xiao Feng was the first official to the privy envoy, named the king of Lanling County, controlled the national government, and leaned towards the government and the opposition!

This time, Xiao Ang was ordered by the king from Nanjing to take 2,000 men and horses to Wugu Enemy Lie Commander Army Division on business. "Inadvertently" found Xiao Tienu's traces halfway. This Xiao Tienu has robbed Xiao Fengxian twice of the heavy gifts given to Xiao Fengxian by Western Xia, and once he even robbed Xiao Fengxian of the treasures purchased from the Western Regions with a lot of money to be used to celebrate the birthday of the Liao Emperor, which greatly lost the face of the Xiao family. But Xiao Fengxian couldn't catch him! Therefore, Xiao Ang heard that there was a trace of Xiao Tienu, and despite the opposition of the deputy general Muria, he chased all the way over and wanted to capture Xiao Tienu in one fell swoop.

At this time, Xiao Ang was resting in Tucheng, and when the vanguard entered Tucheng, he found that there were not only nearly a thousand horses left in Tucheng, but also a number of daily items, all of which were very strange. But Xiao Ang didn't take it seriously when he reported it. Muria sent out scouts, but found nothing out of the ordinary. And Xiao Tienu's trace has completely disappeared.

On the second day, when he was about to march north, suddenly a wounded soldier rushed to the south, and said, "South! Xiao Tienu drinks horses in the south! The people we left there were killed and wounded. ”

Xiao Ang said angrily: "I said why I disappeared, it turned out that I ran to the south!" ”

Muria called the wounded soldier and asked, "How do you know it's Xiao Tienu?" ”

The wounded soldier said: "I was caught by them, and I heard them keep saying how 'King Xiao' is, and they also said that the desert grassland is his backyard, even if he transfers all the 100,000 palace tent troops in Daliao, don't try to catch them, so guess it is." ”

Xiao Ang was furious, and Mu Lia said: "Shizi, the whereabouts of this horse thief have always been erratic, and the important affairs of the envoy are important, so don't make any more extraneous branches, let him go." ”

Xiao Ang said angrily: "No, you immediately bring two hundred elite horsemen to chase after you, my army will respond from behind, this time we must catch him!" ”

Muriah couldn't persuade him, so he had to accept the order.

Xiao Tienu didn't know what was going on inside Tucheng. He made a small circle, and still came to the grassland to the south to drink horses. When I arrived, I found it surprisingly quiet.

"Stop!"

"Head, what's wrong?"

"There's not quite something right here."

"Not quite right? Nothing. ”

"It's just that there's nothing!" Xiao Tienu said: "It's too quiet, I always feel wrong." Suddenly, he saw that there seemed to be metal reflection behind the southeast mound, he was taken aback, pointed to the southeast, southwest, and due south directions and said, "You guys go and have a look!" If there's something wrong, turn around right away! ”

A few minions ran not far away, and suddenly shot dark arrows in three directions at the same time, putting down two pathfinders, and the remaining few hurriedly retreated, aside: "Head! There is an ambush! It's those Han people! ”

Xiao Tienu was not shocked when he encountered the change, and said, "Go!" ”

With the people retreating to the north, more than ten miles away, the dust was rolling in the distance, and it turned out to be the palace tent army who killed it!

One of the leaders exclaimed, "Head! There are people in front and back, what to do? ”

Xiao Tienu said: "I didn't close the encirclement again!" Panic what! Besides, the two of them are not in the same group! ”

The leader said: "But we are caught in the middle, even if they shoot at each other, we are the unlucky!" ”

Xiao Tienu looked at the dust in the distance and said, "The Han people are in a strict formation, and there are many tricks in the ambush!" There are not many palace tent troops in front, and it seems that their large army has not yet arrived! Let's rush over! ”

Zhi Yanchong and the others crouched to the side, seeing Xiao Tienu rushing north with his men and horses, Zhi Yanchong smiled and said: "It seems that in Xiao Tienu's eyes, we are stronger than the palace tent army." ”

Cao Guangbi said: "He doesn't know our reality, but the number of Khitans in this group is obviously not much. ”

Zhi Yan rushed and said: "Xiao Ang sent this group of people over, thinking that these people are elites." Let's see how effective they are. "They already knew from the mouths of the captives that there were 2,000 men in this group, led by Xiao Ang, the prince of Lanling, the king of Liao, and the deputy general was called Muria. As for what to do in the north, those captives are too low to know.

Xiao Tienu's department has a total of eighty-seven cavalry, and at this time there are ambushes behind them, and only the Khitan cavalry that breaks through the front can survive, so everyone is desperate. At Xiao Ang's urging, Muria hurried to this point, but the men and horses were tired, and they were unexpectedly rushed out of formation by Xiao Tienu.

Zhi Yanchong said disappointedly: "How can the cavalry of the Liao State dominate the world with this virtue? ”

Cao Guangbi sighed: "I saw that my military equipment was in ruins at the border, and I was often afraid that the Liao people would not be able to resist when they went south. Today, it seems that the Liao people are not much better than us! ”

Orihiko said: "In that case, why don't we rob while it's hot?" ”

Cao Guangbi said: "Take advantage of the fire to rob? ”

Zhi Yan rushed and said: "The palace tent army is in chaos, there are about 100 elites on our side, you, I, and Aluman each bring 30 people to rush and kill, Mr. Di leads the other horses to follow, and he will definitely be able to defeat this group of Khitan soldiers." ”

Cao Guangbi said: "The odds of winning are very high, but is it necessary to fight this battle?" ”

Zhi Yan said: "That group of palace tent troops is blocked in the north, and it is never the way for us to hide in Tibet. It's better to take the opportunity to solve a batch! Well, it bears the name of Xiao Tienu. ”

Yang Yingqi didn't speak all the time, and when he heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, this is called driving wolves and fighting deer!" ”

Cao Guangbi also said: "Okay! ”

At that moment, Zhi Yan rushed to the front with thirty horsemen and shouted: "Follow Boss Xiao and annihilate the palace tent army!" Thirty people shouted in unison: "Follow Boss Xiao!" Annihilate the palace tent army! ”

Muria knew that Xiao Ang would be very unhappy if Xiao Tienu was let go, so although the formation was almost split in half by Xiao Tienu, he still struggled to support himself, and led his cronies to block it desperately, and said in his heart: "As long as it is dragged to most of the world, we will win!" ”

At this moment, another team was killed between the mounds and bushes, and the number of people was about 100! Shouting "Annihilation of the Palace Tent Army" rushed in. After the hundred people, they gradually lined up a neat line, and for a while, they didn't know how many people there were on the other side.

Mu Lia's heart was shocked: "How can Xiao Tienu have so many people? Don't...... Could it be that the Divination Department has rebelled again? ”

Although he is old on the battlefield, he is not so great that he is willing to sacrifice his life for the country at any time, not to mention that this battle came inexplicably, and he died here, not even sacrificing his life for the country, at most it can only be regarded as a funeral for Xiao Angna's second ancestor issued indiscriminately! Immediately turned the horse's head and retreated sharply to the north. When the palace tent army saw that the lord was about to flee, where was he willing to be left behind? It also followed the northern rout.

Xiao Tienu was about to take advantage of the chaos to rush out, when suddenly a rain of arrows flew from behind, and the seven or eight people at the back fell off their horses one after another, and he had no choice but to chase the tail of the palace tent army and rush forward.
