Chapter 793: Bringing the army into the urn
The wind swept the banner and fluttered, and the bear head on the banner bared its fangs in the firelight. Huyan En's horse galloped in front of the tribal warriors, and Huyan's troops were to act as the vanguard of the attack on Zheng's army.
The Huyan Department came late but was just in time to attack the Zheng army, and the Huyan Department, which took advantage of the fire to rob, robbed a lot of Zheng army's armor and supplies. The Huyan tribe grazing and living at the northern end of the grassland, the conditions are more difficult than in the south, the caravan has few opportunities to go, and the materials are scarce, and this capture makes the Huyan tribe feel full.
More than 10,000 people took off their furs and replaced them with iron armor and leather armor, although these armors did not fit, but these people were not even worth taking off when they were sleeping. Hearing that they were going to attack the Zheng army again, the warriors of the Huyan tribe were elated, and those who did not get the armor rubbed their fists to win a "family heirloom" for themselves.
This time, there were 100,000 people in the desert cavalry, in addition to the 50,000 people in the Huyan Department, the rest of the small tribes also had more than 40,000 people, and the Kunbo and Liman Khan of the Badu Department did not go out to fight and gave up the opportunity. Li Man stood on the city wall to see him off, watched the army slowly start, galloping towards the south, and said to the Qu Rebellion beside him with a smile: "Qu Master, I don't know how to win or lose this expedition?" Hu Yanbu was holding back his strength and wanted to bite off a piece of meat from Zheng Jun's body. ”
Qu Zhidao sneered coldly: "Bite off the meat? Don't break your bear teeth. ”
"Oh, isn't the Drain Master optimistic about this expedition?" Li Man asked in surprise, he, like most deserters, thought that Zheng Jun had become meat on the chopping board and could be divided at will.
Although Zheng's army was newly defeated, it still had nearly 600,000 people. Wang Keming is brave and strategic, he is a rare handsome talent, the last time the old man won by luck, you think he would make such a mistake. Qu Zhidao said coldly: "The Mo people and the Zheng army have been fighting for half a year, and the Zheng people have fought to the gate of the royal city, and the old man doesn't know how the Mo people are confident that the Zheng people will be slaughtered, so the Zheng people sent envoys to sue for peace today." Soldiers, the way to survive, can not be despised . ”
Li Man was shocked and said, "Since the Qu Master thinks that it is not easy to win, why don't you stop the Golden Horde Discussion?" Ben Khan then went to Tizhu and the Dharma King and asked them to stop the army. ”
Qu Zhidao sneered: "The Golden Horde is full of war, and the tribes are afraid that they will be robbed of their benefits by others for fear of being backward. The old man is a slave of Zheng Guo, if he speaks out against it, don't you think that you sympathize with your homeland, and your heart can be punished. ”
Li Man was speechless, he knew that many people did think like this, and even the Dharma King could not guarantee that he would have such thoughts. Ti Zhu was questioned because of Jiang Anyi, and if Qu Shi opposed sending troops, I am afraid that someone would immediately jump out and say that he was Zheng Guo's spy. With a long sigh, Li Man stopped talking.
Qu Zhidao glanced at Li Man and said, "It's a good thing for you to let them hit the wall, you don't have to worry about Zheng Jun, the weather is getting colder, Zheng Jun will definitely return." When the various departments have suffered, you will send troops south to expel the Zheng army, and bring the power of victory to dominate the grassland and enter the royal court, even the king of law will not be able to stop you. ”
Li Man's eyebrows immediately danced, if he could become the Great Khan of the grassland, it would not hurt to die some men on the grassland, not to mention that the Huyan Department was far away in the north, and he did not obey the call of the royal court very much, and he had not fought with Zheng Guo in the past few years, and his strength had grown rapidly, and it was a good thing for the royal court to weaken the strength of the Huyan tribe.
Huyanen galloped at the front of the team, the night breeze on his face was very comfortable for him, and the grassland where Huyanbu bred had turned cold at this time, and the wind blew on his face like a knife
Scrape, cattle and sheep can not be put into the pen at night. The royal court and the Zheng people were at war, and Hu Yanen originally did not want to come to the war, but the Dharma King sent a summoning order, coupled with the pleading of the Yan clan, Hu Yanen convened the elders of the tribe to discuss.
Zuo Da Danghu all took the liberty of persuading him: "Although the Huyan Department is far away in the north, most of the herdsmen believe in Sadu, and this time the Dharma King sent an envoy here, and many herdsmen have seen it, if they do not respect the Dharma King's summoning order, I am afraid that it will cause trouble." Moreover, the royal court and the Zheng people are at war, no matter whether they win or lose, it will affect the Huyan Ministry, and Wang Tingsheng will investigate the Huyan Ministry's fault for not going to the rescue, and the tribes around the Zheng Rensheng Wang Court are bound to take refuge in the north, and the Huyan Ministry, or they can't avoid it. In my opinion, August is approaching, and it is difficult for Zheng Jun to stay for a long time after the weather turns cold, as long as the Khan King pinches the time, avoids a hard encounter with Zheng Jun, and takes the opportunity to gather the tribes that were disabled by Zheng Jun, it is a good opportunity for my Huyan Department. ”
After Zheng Mo started the war, more than 20,000 people from the Badai tribe took refuge, which greatly increased the strength of the tribe. The Huyan Department originally had more than 60,000 people who controlled the strings, and if it could recruit more than 20,000 people in the south, then the Huyan Department would become a large tribe of 100,000 warriors in one fell swoop, and the weight of speaking on the grassland would be very important.
Listening to Du Mao's words, Hu Yanen led 35,000 warriors and 10,000 newly recruited Badai tribes to the south, a journey of more than 1,000 miles for half a month, accommodating more than 6,000 scattered grassland tribesmen, and when they came to the royal court, they already had 50,000 troops. In Hu Yanen's impression, there are not a few tribes that can have 50,000 warriors on the grassland, but when they came to the royal court to find that they were fighting with the Zheng army, the grassland tribes suffered serious casualties, and the servants and the Badai tribes were disabled by the Zheng army, and the Saman tribe did not know where to go, some people said that the whole tribe crossed the Heluo Mountain to avoid the war, in addition to the Batu Department, there were more than 100,000 warriors, and the other tribes had more or less casualties, Hu Yanen was pleasantly surprised to find that the strength of the Huyan Department could enter the top three in the grassland.
The royal court has always been dominated by the strongest tribe, the warriors of the Huyan Department are fierce and good at fighting, and the force is not under the wolf rider, and now the black wolf rider and the golden wolf rider have suffered heavy casualties, how can those newly added wolf riders be the opponents of their own bear riders, the only deficiency is that the royal court team is well equipped, and the bear riders are inferior to the bear riders in comparison.
The fire attacked the Zheng army, seized countless materials, and at the same time ignited Hu Yanen's ambitions, looking at the ill-fitting armor, Hu Yanen's eyes flashed with flames, the heart of war has never been so strong, he wants to seize the Zheng army's ordnance and arm the warriors of the Hu Yan Department, with these sophisticated equipment, they can occupy a more fertile grassland, and even go south to occupy the Zheng people's flower world. Back then, the banner of the Xiong Khan tribe had fluttered on the land of the Central Plains. Huyanen prayed in his heart, Eternal Heaven, may you bless the children of the Huyan Ministry, and the Huyan Ministry, which will sacrifice with the best cattle, sheep, wine and meat.
…………
Jiang Anyi met with reinforcements, and the reinforcements were led by Zhao Wei, 20,000 light cavalry. After Zhao Wei saw Kong Province, he escorted the chariots of Kong Province and others in the brigade and galloped towards Zheng Ying in Dano Lake. Jiang Anyi asked Zhao Wei in a low voice about the situation of the camp, Zhao Wei had no smile on his face, the indifferent people attacked the Zheng army and suffered heavy losses, the northern expedition was basically declared a failure, and the eldest brother Wang Keming, as the commander, must bear the responsibility.
Zhao Wei told Jiang Anyi that the Son of Heaven and King Luo Huai had set off for Zhenbei City, and the main force of the accompanying guards was the remaining 6,000 heavy cavalry, as well as 34,000 light cavalry, but the remaining more than 5,000 sword soldiers were left behind by Shi Chongwei.
Jiang Anyi
Knowing that the Son of Heaven was seriously ill and lying in the carriage, his mood became very heavy, and his soaring prosperity was inseparable from the appreciation of the Son of Heaven.
Jiang Anyi and Zhao Wei were thinking about their own thoughts, and after the new defeat, the morale of the army was low, and they marched silently, with heavy horses' hooves. When he was still about twenty miles away from the station, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a ray of light separated the heavens and the earth, and Hu Yanen led 100,000 desert horsemen to chase after him.
Hearing the thunderous hoofs behind him, Zheng Jun panicked, and the scout reported that the chasing soldiers were about 100,000, and the distance was only five or six miles, Zhao Wei sneered: "It's just right." When I came, the marshal had secretly told me that if the Moren sent a large army to chase after me, they might as well lead them into the Kesu Gorge to avenge their revenge. ”
Kesu Gorge is in the northeast of Dano Lake fifteen places, about ten miles away from here, there are slopes on both sides, there is a valley in the middle, the Kuoyu River flows from the valley bottom, nourishes the water and grass in the valley flourish, the most rare thing is that there are many trees at the bottom of the valley, it is a rare resort with mountains, water, trees and grass on the grassland. The Kesu Gorge is long and narrow and winding, and the army cannot be expanded when it enters the country, and if it holds the high ground on both sides, the army at the bottom of the valley will be at an absolute disadvantage, and one wall on three sides is like entering an urn.
The news of the Son of Heaven's serious illness hit Jiang Anyi a lot, and there was nowhere to solve the anger of being chased and killed by Atina, Jiang Anyi took the initiative to ask: "Brother Zhao, the desert army is chasing urgently, I will lead a part of the people to block and lure the enemy, and you will escort Kong Xiang away." ”
Zhao Wei and Jiang Anyi attacked the Golden Wolf Army at night together, and defeated the invincible Golden Wolf Cavalry with few victories and many big victories, which is definitely something to boast about for Zhao Wei. He knew that Jiang Anyi had outstanding martial arts and excellent archery skills, and said with a smile: "You and my brother are side by side to lure the enemy." ”
Because it was to lure the enemy, Zhao Wei only left three thousand light horsemen, spread out the plane, and slowly moved forward. The distance of five miles is only half an hour, the sound of horses' hooves behind him is like rolling thunder, the sound is terrifying to the extreme, most of the Zheng army are pale, if the three thousand people are swept up by the 100,000 army, there is only one way to die.
Zhao Wei temporarily handed over his iron tire bow to Jiang Anyi to use, Jiang Anyi took the arrow and tried the head, although this iron tire bow is not as good as his own star-shooting bow, it is a good bow, it is much stronger than the Li family's black Jiao bow that was pulled and folded by himself, and it should be able to withstand his own fierceness. Jiang Anyi is ready to shoot arrows, and he will shoot a few desert generals tonight.
There were still a hundred steps apart, Jiang Anyi drew his bow and arrows, and immediately a horse fell off his horse. The arrows were like beads, and they never missed them, and when the desert cavalry approached fifty paces, four of them had already fallen to the ground. Fifty steps, the rain of arrows is intertwined, Zheng Jun is reversed, and many arrows fall off the horse. Zhao Wei saw that Mo Cai was approaching thirty steps, and ordered: "Hang the bow and fire the crossbow arrows." ”
The crossbow arrows swept across one place with a sharp roar, and immediately more than 100 horses were shot by the crossbow arrows, and the horses neighed and the attack was blocked. The Huyan Department occupies the center of the pursuit, and the people who are shot by the crossbow arrows are all the troops of the Huyan Ministry, Huyanen
One of the guards next to him landed with an arrow, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Hu Yanen roared angrily: "We must not let go of this group of Zheng people and chop them into pulp. ”
Zhao Wei and Jiang Anyi did not love to fight, three thousand light cavalry retreated towards the Kesu Gorge, Hu Yanen led the army to pursue closely, the Huyan Department was not familiar with the terrain, when someone from other tribes found that the direction of Zheng Jun's escape was Kesu Gorge and wanted to dissuade them, the troops of the Huyan Department had galloped into the canyon like a whirlwind.
