Chapter 390: Raid on Yingzhou City
Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have exhausted Li Qianzhong's energy, and he had no intention of saying anything. His eyes became more and more hollow, and the activity in the meantime obviously had a tendency to dim, and when that bit of brilliance was about to be annihilated, Li Qianzhong muttered: "I'm tired......"
A generation of heroes Li Qianzhong passed away, Li Quanzhong died, and the house immediately cried. Li lost life as if he had suddenly grown up, comforting the crying women and children.
Thinking back to Li Qianzhong's words just now, Li Kaigu suddenly became worried.
The Khitan Khan Li Duzhong died, and the news would soon reach Sun Wanrong. After Sun Wanrong returns, what kind of situation will he and Li Fuhuo face?
……
Li Qianzhong's death made everyone in the Khitan tribe in Yingzhou City panic. Li Shihuo and Li Kaigu began to prepare for Li Qianzhong's funeral, and they were busy with their feet not touching the ground.
Just when they rarely had a moment to rest, outside Yingzhou City, there was a sudden commotion, which gradually evolved into a fiery shouting of killing.
The two of them sat up in shock, and hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and after a while, a fire broke out of the city.
The Khitan people outside the city of Yingzhou have been in chaos, and the "tranquility" and "harmony" of the Khitan Khan's court have been completely broken, and thousands of fierce cavalry are dividing into the west and north directions to attack the Khitan tribesmen.
The iron cavalry swept by, the people howled and the horses neighed, the cattle ran and the animals fled, and the Khitan people in Yingzhou City were all at a loss when the enemy suddenly arrived, and there was no other means of countermeasures except for the senseless wailing and killing.
There were some Khitan men who resisted with swords, but they were no opponents at all. The assault outside the city quickly turned into a massacre. There are not many Khitan soldiers left in the city, they are all Li Qianzhong and Li Kaigu's personal guards, even if they are elite, even if they attack, it is difficult to do anything in the face of thousands of enemy horses.
Although it is winter, there is no shortage of combustibles outside Yingzhou City, and the fierce flames emit dazzling light, spreading and devouring ......
"It's the Turkic Tiger Division!" On the city wall, Li Kaigu looked at this scene outside the city, with a solemn expression on his face.
"Damn the Turks, fight with them!" Li said angrily.
"Fight? What to fight with them? Li Kaigu angrily reprimanded, "You shut up for me!" ”
"Fourth uncle, it's a big deal to die, what are you afraid of?" Li Yanhuo stared at the unrestrained Turkic cavalry in the distance, and his expression showed some ruthlessness.
"Have you forgotten the Khan's deathbed confession?" Li Kaigu glared at Li and roared angrily.
Hearing Li Kaigu mention his father, he was glared at by Li Kaigu's cold eyes, Li Kaigu's body was tense, his head was clear, and the hot blood surging cold.
Although he no longer spoke, Li felt that his heart was dripping blood.
In the northwest of Yingzhou City, under the Phnom Penh Daxu, with a sweat on his head and a strong armor, the Turkic Ashinamo sipping Khan really came. Sitting on the horse, calmly enjoying the performance of the tiger master under his command, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked quite complacent.
In the past few years, Mo Si has cowered in the Turkic royal court, excluded dissidents, and easily leveled the opposition forces in the country.
Of course, as an ambitious and warlike man, and a Turkic khan, how could Mo Si always hold back his desire to go south. In fact, Da Zhou with vomit
After the defeat in the Battle of Surohan Mountain, Mo Si didn't take Da Zhou to heart.
Originally, he wanted to unite with Tubo and attack the Great Zhou together. However, Tubo had no intention of expanding the war with the Great Zhou, and the two sides quickly sat down at the negotiating table, which suddenly made Mo Si's calculation come to naught.
When the Khitan raised troops, there were two choices in front of Mo Si.
One is proposed by the Tun Desire Valley, and the Khitan will unite with the south to attack the Great Zhou, and work together inside and outside to carve up the Great Zhou.
Lust Valley's suggestion seemed very tempting, but Mo Si knew very well in his heart that even if the Turkic and Khitan alliances were momentarily powerful, wanting to carve up the Great Zhou was tantamount to a fool's dream.
Therefore, he chose the suggestion of Ashid Yuanzhen, plundered the Khitan in the east to enrich himself, and at the same time sent Shendu to Wu Zetian to ask Wu Zetian to settle the Turkic households in Hequ Prefecture, as well as strategic materials such as grain, seeds, farm tools, and iron tools.
In this way, you can not only make good friends with the Great Zhou, ease the antagonism, but also strengthen the strength, and suppress the Khitan whose power has become increasingly prosperous over the years.
In Mo Si's view, there only needs to be one overlord in Wanli Caojiang, and that is the Turks. Because of this, Mo Si found out that Sun Wanrong was on an eastward expedition and the city of Yingzhou was empty, so he personally led five thousand iron horsemen, with his eldest son and Russia as his general, and came from the northwest over the mountains and rivers, and decisively raided Yingzhou City.
Judging from this operation, Mo Si is also a risk-taking person.
Seeing that the gate of Yingzhou City was closed, he raised his hand silently and supported a knight beside him: "Go, tell Tongrussia, don't pay attention to the Zhou army, let him stop caring about the Khitan old and weak outside the city, and concentrate his forces to attack Yingzhou City!" ”
"Yes!"
5,000 Turkic troops, where can the Khitan troops in the city be able to resist,
In the panicked reaction of the Khitans, Yingzhou City was breached in a short time.
As the Turkic army broke through the city, the chaos outside the city quickly spread to the city, and the chaos in Yingzhou became more and more intense.
Following the army into the city, Mo Si couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. According to the information he had, although Sun Wanrong led a large army to the battle, the Khitan Khan Li Duzhong remained in Yingzhou City. Even if there were few troops in the city and Li Duzhong's command, these Khitans would not be like headless flies.
Is there a conspiracy in this?
Mo Si rode on the horse and pondered, all kinds of details passed in his mind, and slowly seemed to figure it out, the mocking tone was unusually affirmative, and he said to himself: "Li Qianzhong is only afraid that something will happen, and he is even dead!" ”
Mo Si had long known from Tun Desire Valley that Li Qianzhong was stabbed and seriously injured, and judging from the situation in Yingzhou City today, Li Qianzhong estimated that he was already more than lucky.
However, even if Li Quanzhong is dead, Li Kaigu, the first Khitan general, is also in the city, so it should not be such a one-sided situation now.
Could it be that Li Kaigu also had an accident?
Li Quanzhong died, and Mo Si was not wrong about this. But his judgment of Li Kaigu's accident was very wrong.
Li Kaigu did not have any accidents, but fled from Yingzhou City with Li out of life. Of course, without Lu Xiaoxian's help, if they wanted to escape from the city, it would be impossible. After all, the secret passage leading to the outside of the city is only known to him.
Even so, when they arrived outside the city, they were inevitably embarrassed.
"Thank you, Young Master Lu!" Li Kaigu said with a grateful face.
Li lost life and looked at Lu Xiaoxian on the side, heart
I feel a lot of emotion.
Counting this time, Lu Xiaoxian has saved Li Kaigu and Li Sheng's lives for the second time. However, they are now on a hostile position, and Sun Wanrong is leading tens of thousands of Khitan troops, attacking the cities of the Great Zhou and slaughtering the people of the Great Zhou.
Lu Xiaoxian said lightly: "No thanks, I know you are different from Sun Wanrong!" Get out of here, we'll see you later! ”
After that, Lu Xiaoxian turned around and left to give birth, and after a while, he disappeared.
At the same time, the overall situation in the city of Yingzhou has been decided, and after the city is broken, the Khitans will be defeated. In addition to sending cavalry to drive out the Khitans outside the city and continue to create chaos, Mo Si also ordered people to occupy various city gates. Then, Mo Si personally led the elite soldiers and assaulted the Governor's Mansion, which was the Khitan Khan's sweat tent.
At the Governor's Mansion, thousands of Turkic soldiers were killing the Khitan remnants of the Trapped Beast Battle. It is worthy of the Khan's guards, they are still brave enough, and they have the heart to die, and they still caused some casualties to the Turks by taking advantage of the weak location of the mansion.
Only glanced at the situation and immediately led people to join the battle circle, Li Quanzhong's Khan Guards were already at the end of the crossbow, and with the addition of the living force brought by Mo Si, the recalcitrant Khitan soldiers fell in a pool of blood one by one.
In the hall that has been arranged into a mourning hall, he sobbed silently, swept Li Qianzhong's corpse, and confirmed his judgment: "Li Qianzhong is really dead......
A sturdy Turkic general stepped into the hall, and he was none other than Mo Si's eldest son, Tongru.
Tongru reported to Mo Si: "Khan, Li Kaigu and Li have disappeared, and I have asked the whole city to search for them!" ”
"Those who have left the mourning don't have to pay attention!" Mo Si waved his hand.
Mo Si raided Yingzhou City, on the one hand, to take advantage, and on the other hand, to build momentum for the Desire Valley that was far away in Luoyang to negotiate with the Great Zhou. As for the life or death of Li Kaigu and Li Weihuo, he didn't care.
With a sigh of resignation, he retreated.
The sky darkened, and the firelight and howling outside the city faded. The front yard of the Governor's Mansion, which was quite spacious, was crowded with captured Khitan soldiers and Li Quanzhong's family, who were extremely nervous and afraid.
The capture of Li Quanzhong's wife and son can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
Mo Si sent people to guard Li Qianzhong's family, and then stationed soldiers all over the city, all sleeping on their swords and armor. After tonight, they will be able to return triumphantly.
The Khitan tribesmen outside the city, in addition to those who were killed and escaped, there were still a lot of prisoners, and they tossed until midnight before they completely calmed down.
Mo Si personally inspected it before he had time to rest.
The next day, the Turks, who had rested, began to load their wagons and escort the prisoners.
In addition to a few carts of gold, silver, precious stones, and jade, ironware, farm tools, tea, salt and other goods were also loaded by the Turkic soldiers.
In addition to the fleeing and slaughtered, there were nearly 20,000 captives of the people in the city and Khitans, as well as tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and livestock, and thousands of horses. The young men and women were guarded in the center, carrying the baggage, and were also treated as servants......
If it weren't for Sun Wanrong's return to the division, the Turks would still want to plunder the city again.
Of course, Mo Si knows the situation, and the evacuation will not be slow, otherwise, once Sun Wanrong hears the news and returns to the army, it will be difficult for his tiger division to resist the main force of the Khitan.
