Chapter 418: The Battle of Yanmen Pass (End)
This air of depression is terrible, even at night, as long as one person screams wildly, it will cause everything in the camp to flare up, and it will immediately infect each other. In such a situation, people lose their minds, trample on each other, fight each other, and destroy everything they see. I want to tear everything to shreds and turn it into ashes.
Therefore in the army, every night. It's all heavily guarded. Not only to defend against the enemy, but also to defend oneself. Some people left their lodging places and went into other military tents, and they were immediately beheaded. Some people shouted in surprise, and the people patrolling the camp took it, and they also set up knife carts and deer bars to cut off the road at various intersections. It is just for the sake of the camp in case of a lifetime, one place is out of control, and other places can still be controlled, so that the whole army will not collapse with it. The generals of the leading troops have to patrol the camp every night, which is why, it is also to prevent the sheng camp from showing resentment or spreading any rumors, so he will take it down and cut it down immediately without hesitation.
But the Khitans have not yet been completely sinicized, and even if there are patrols, there are not many, and the chaos is no longer controllable. The regular army was so heavily guarded that camp roars were often inevitable. Not to mention the so-called Khitan army, the battalion numbers are chaotic, the command is weak, the tribes are mixed, and there are many unrestrained old and weak women and children with the army. In troubled times, everyone's hearts are full of fear, this camp is easier to live, and once it is born, this destructive power is doubled and huge.
Duan Mingyu turned sideways in the army, and at a glance he saw the weakness of this so-called Khitan army's amazing momentum. Attacking it with jīng soldiers, one battalion scattered, and the other battalions were immediately driven to collapse, and they trampled themselves down. This is why Duan Mingyu dared to do this, he believed that as long as 10,000 jīng rode in his hand, he could sweep away this powerful Khitan army at any time.
But the plain field battle is not good, you have to wait until the evening, the soldiers are tired, who is not exhausted after a big battle in Bai Rì today, the physical strength of the Han is not as good as that of the barbarians, who would have thought that the Han people still have strength?
And once Duan Mingyu is about to have a seizure, it will be a move to capture the thief and capture the king, that is, Yelu Abaoji, the commander of the Khitan Eight Division, will be able to be his subordinate prisoner immediately, and not many people will be able to completely clean up the situation at that time.
How did the Tang Army go against the norm, so fast, so fierce, why, why?
At this moment, Yelu Deguang had no answer in his heart, and Yelu Abaoji had no answer in his heart.
In the distance, more than a dozen cavalry sentinels also rushed to the scene, and they were all responsible for delivering news from the battlefield. Those distant barricades in the distance had already dismounted, and flew over and knelt in front of Yelu Abaoji's horse: "King, it's the Tang Army, it's the Tang Army!" More than tens of thousands of Tang troops have appeared in the mountain pass, and now these Tang troops are charging into battle, all over the mountains, and the whole camp is in chaos! ”
Several tribal leaders behind Yelu Abao's fuselage finally caught up at this time, and several Khitan generals jumped off their horses, knelt in front of Yelu Abaoji, and said in a hurried tone: "King, retreat!" We can't beat this Yanmen Pass, and if we don't leave, we won't be able to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of children! We can't fight the Tang people here, and I can't consume them here............ Let's go back to the grassland, once the Central Plains are out of trouble, and then fight back, this group of people is fighting fiercely in the nest anyway, we have a chance! ”
When Yelu Abaoji was young, he fought too much, his body was innumerable, and he was overworked, so that his hair turned gray a lot in his prime, his face was blue, and he waved his horsewhip, and hit those Khitan generals on the head: "Retire your mother's retreat!" If you don't crush this gang of Tang Army, you will not return to the army! ”
There are countless Khitan tribes, the most important one is eight, before Yelu Abaoji did not become the leader, these eight tribes are voted to decide the leaders of the eight tribes, and there is a general election every three years, but it is different here in Yelu Abaoji, he became the eternal leader of the eight tribes, their king, and later when the Khitan people were weak, in order to get rid of the oppression of the Tang Dynasty, they united the Xi people, and later after integration, the Xi people and the Khitan became one, and the leader of the Khitan must marry the noble daughter of the Xi people. So later, all the queens of the Liao State were surnamed Xiao, and the power of this queen was no less than that of the emperor, cough cough, Mr. Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu" in the eight tribes of the Khitan is the eight tribes, but the author said that the protagonist Qiao Feng is a Khitan, and later Qiao Feng also changed his name to Xiao Feng, but please think about it, if our Qiao Daxia is a Khitan, why is the surname Xiao, it should be the surname Yelu, the surname Xiao is the surname of the Xi people, so Qiao Daxia should not be a Khitan, but a Xi person.
Far away, Yelu Abaoji here has been in charge of the eight departments for several years, and he is also closely grouped with the Xi clan, so his words are holy decrees, no one dares to disobey, just now he also said that he was considering retiring for the sake of long-term plans, and now Duan Mingyu has called, if he really retreats at this time, then he has confirmed the statement that he is afraid of a war, which makes Yelu Abaoji, who has been strong all his life, angry, and immediately changed his decision.
Those generals of the Khitan people only endured the beating, jumped up and just grabbed the reins of Yelu Abaoji's mount, and more generals in the back dismounted and ran to the front to kneel; "King, our roots are grasslands, and now the army has no fighting spirit, let's go, let's go! The king fought hard for the tribe, and we all saw it in our eyes and missed it for a lifetime! Ask King Yelu to return to the desert as soon as possible, and Deguang to stabilize our fundamentals, recuperate, now the three armies are unstable, if the capital is exhausted, whether it is the Khitan people or the Xi people, it is really over! As long as we stabilize the fundamentals a little, are we still afraid that we will not work hard in the future? Whether it is ten or twenty years, whether it is the king, or the little prince of Deguang, or even Princess Xiao, as long as you bring us forward, it is not worth it to die in battle! ”
Yelu Abaoji's face finally loosened, the generals under his command, Xi Ren didn't care, the Khitan people also said so, the meaning is also obvious, they don't care whether it is the Yelu clan and the Xiao clan, anyway, they are all nations, no matter who the power is set to, as long as someone is in charge, it is good that they are not injured at all, and when the time comes, the power will be one, and there may not be a chance to turn over......
Yelu Abaoji was just silent, looked south, the sound of fighting came one after another, and then looked back, Li Siyuan's department had already rushed to the camp first, killing several collapses, he turned around sharply, and waved his whip: "Only let the Tang people win for a while............ A certain and swear, if a certain does not bring a son, drink the Yangtze River, heaven and earth will not tolerate! Order, retreat, no matter in the east or west, retreat, all fucking retreat! Go with a certain turn in the desert! ”
