Chapter 149: Revenge must be avenged
Those words were just what Murong Li said casually, to say that it was possible for Hanbu to defeat those thousand people, but to say that all of them were killed was a joke. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
To be honest, Murong Li doesn't care so much about the life or death of those people in the envoy group, there are only a few real Murong Xianbei people over there, who are the so-called "old clans", but more than ninety percent of them are minions that can be sacrificed, such as Zheng Lin, although he is a lieutenant and a military advisor, but he is also a high-level minion. The rest of them, don't look at the dress is similar to Murong Xianbei, but they are some Duan Xianbei, Fuyu people, and Jin people.
Of course, if the Han Ministry dares to attack the envoys sent by Qianyan, even if most of the people killed are minions, it is not allowed, otherwise Murong Li is so annoyed what to do?
There are three thousand Yan troops, and there are about a hundred Murong Xianbei "old clans" in it. Now they are desperate to break through the defense line of the Han army, and see that the front is attacking, but the rear is still shooting arrows vigorously, the main purpose is to kill the soldiers of the Han Department, if there is a manslaughter or something, it is also extremely normal, just think that those "own people" are unlucky.
The footsteps that were so neat that it was like the earth beating the drums of war came from far and near, Murong Li was attentive at that time, waiting to see the rows of soldiers appear, and from a distance, they seemed to be tall and well-armed, and the corners of his mouth were hooked.
"Kind of interesting, huh?" Murong Li had a reason for laughing, he had already figured it out before he came, the Han Department was the Tiefu of Tuoba Xianbei, and it seemed that he had been supporting Daiguo to fight against the Xiongnu Tiefu Department? He muttered, "What did that old guy Feng Yi say?" Want to buy and sell? β
By the way, Murong Li still didn't know that the Han Department had built a city wall on the narrow peninsula in the east of Liao 1, if he knew, it probably wouldn't be the face he is now.
Compared with Murong Li, he can still think lightly, Li Tan, as a defensive party, is living like a year.
Li Tan took 1,200 people out of the city, because of the state of the rapid march, he fell behind about a hundred people, and they and the Yan army that suddenly appeared had been fighting in this narrow area for about two quarters of an hour? Originally, there were about 1,100 people, and it is estimated that there are less than 800 people left who can still move in a short period of time?
"Not a son of man!" Li Tan was trembling all over, not afraid, but purely angry: "Hu Lu is Hu Lu, he shot randomly regardless of accidental injury!" β
It is purely normal for Hu people to do that, but Li Tan can't do that, that is the two results of different cultures and thoughts.
The sound of neat footsteps was heard, but it was estimated that it would take some time to reach the battlefield, and it was worth paying attention to where to cut into the battlefield.
Just when Li Tan was thinking about when reinforcements could join the battle, Qianyan's attacking troops actually retreated after a clarion call.
Two quarters of an hour is half an hour, and for more than half an hour, they have been in a high degree of mental tension, and their physical functions are constantly depleting, and they probably thought that their reinforcements had arrived and Qianyan's troops were going to retreat, and as a result, such thoughts led to relaxation. And slacking off on the battlefield is a very fatal thing!
Murong Li asked the attacking troops to withdraw, does it mean that he wants to lead the army to retreat?
The two sides opened up some distance, most of the Han side was gasping and looking for their own wounded, and the Qianyan side gathered and very suddenly cracked a gap, and about 300 cavalry were galloping up with horses' hooves.
In fact, at the beginning, Murong Li tried to break through with cavalry, but several times he was successfully blocked by the spearmen of the Han Department and the archers.
Li Tan knew that it was bad when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and shouted: "Array!" Array! β
The routine of taking people by surprise and attacking them unpreparedness does not necessarily mean creating opportunities before the start of the war, but also using some small strategies to relax after the war starts, and then suddenly taking a cold sudden.
At that moment, the faces of the soldiers of the Han Department all changed greatly, and they hurriedly lined up, but the more they wanted to form a formation quickly, the more chaotic the situation became, and then the long-term physical exertion made the movement a little slow.
Li Tan saw that it was completely broken, gritted his teeth and ordered the two teams to resist, and the rest of the troops retreated slightly to form a front.
If any of the commander's orders will be carried out at any time, then there is no need for military law or anything, Li Tan gave the order, and someone really carried it out, but for the first time on the battlefield, there were routs, that is, soldiers who should have resisted but ran back.
Speaking of which, in fact, it happened in a very short period of time, about 300 Yan cavalry rushed to the pass in less than 30 breaths, and immediately killed those Han soldiers who hurriedly wanted to organize a formation, and then staggered and then collided with the second front of the Han army that was hastily organized.
Murong Li kept sneering and watched the cavalry break through three lines in a row before it was blocked, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart by the will of the soldiers of the Tuoba Iron Buddha tribe, you must know that Goguryeo, known as the first power on the peninsula, could not organize three fronts to block in the face of this kind of cavalry charge, and the soldiers of the whole line should run directly with their feet aside.
"Lord, the enemy is making a detour from both flanks."
"Got it!"
Speaking of which, Murong Li's personality can be very irritable, or he didn't make such a show before retreating.
It must be understood that the reinforcements of the Han Department have arrived, not only the infantry army, but also the Yan Army's side of the reconnaissance cavalry reported that a Han cavalry of about 1,000 people (actually less than 800) made a detour from one side, as long as Murong Li was not stupid, he found that the Han Department had two or three thousand elites, how could he have withdrawn, as for what happened to the envoys sent, that was something that needs to be clarified in the future.
Throwing out three hundred cavalry before retreating can be regarded as a necessary measure to break the rear, but Murong Li is not short of war horses? Li Tan's people are all foot soldiers, Murong Li wants to retreat and is not afraid of being caught up at all, it can only be said that Murong Li wants Li Tan to know how powerful he is.
Of course, Li Tan knew that it was powerful, but he didn't know who the main general who commanded the Yan army to fight against him was. When he saw that the Yan army was really about to withdraw, there was only one thought left in his head, and he kept roaring: "Trapped to death, all killed!" β
Thanks to the fact that the main general was not timid, and it was also the generous pension system announced by Liu Yan, and then the greatest credit was the military merit, although it was a heavy loss, those soldiers who were reorganized from various families responded loudly to Li Tan's roar, and the shouting and killing never stopped from the battle to the end.
The infantry troops who came from behind were reinforced...... That is to say, those tribal forces are two-legged, they don't want to catch up with Murong Li and the others who have already driven their horses and galloped wildly, they can only occupy the favorable terrain under Liu Yan's orders, and silently stay in place.
Li Tan personally cut down the last active enemy soldier on the battlefield, he ignored the enemy's Chinese with a northern accent, his face was hideous, and he slowly pierced the enemy from the tip of the knife to the blade.
The Sima royal family fled south in a hurry, leaving too many behind, so many Jin people in the Central Plains were discarded, and there were naturally Jin people in Liao1dong who were left behind, and it can even be said that the Jin people in Liao1dong should be the first group of people to be abandoned.
A sudden battle, with the return of mounted cavalry with auxiliary riders, the frontal large-scale engagement was over, but the rout of the former Yan envoy regiment required a long capture.
With the end of the large-scale engagement, LΓΌ Tai set out to make accurate statistics of casualties between friend and foe.
In this battle, 527 non-systematic soldiers of the Han Department were killed, 89 were seriously wounded, and minor injuries were not counted, and 742 were beheaded and 420 were captured by Qianyan.
If you just look at the data of non-system soldiers, it seems that the Han side has the advantage? Then I don't know how distressed Liu Yan was, and the loss of the twenty-three mounted cavalry that could not be replenished.
"Following the example of Qianyan, the officials cut their throats and beheaded them, and the soldiers picked off their tendons and feet and hung them from trees." Liu Yan's tone was extremely cold: "Those who are already dead, their heads are cut off...... Oh, it's all cut? Calculate military merits and pile up Jingguan next to the main road. β
This time, Liu Yanke really did what he said, and he did it excessively, Murong Xianbei killed forty-nine people in the Han Department, but the Han Department killed one thousand and sixty-two people. It's a pity that the envoy named Zheng Lin couldn't find the body, and he didn't know whether he had escaped or the body had been trampled into pulp.
Li Tan has always stood to the side with a panicked face, as if he wants no one to notice him. He can be regarded as angry this time, but the loss in the whole battle is also the greatest, a good song to share seventy percent of the casualties in this battle, if it were not for the arrival of reinforcements at that time to make the hard-fought soldiers have hope in their hearts not to disperse, I don't know if the whole army should be annihilated, after all, their opponents have a large number of cavalry, all of them can also ride horses to become a horse team.
"Li Tan." Liu Yan's tone couldn't hear joy or anger, and there was no expression on his face: "You take people to do those things." β
What's up? It is to pile up the Beijing Temple, and the prisoners of war will be picked off and hung on trees to dry.
Li Tan came out of the queue tremblingly, and carefully saluted: "No! β
Cai You, who should have kept his mouth shut, hesitated for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, among the captured prisoners of war...... Many Jin people, it is better to ...... Put them in the mining team and let them ......"
"There's no shortage of that kind of labor." Liu Yan brutally cut it off, and said: "Former Yan killed my Han envoy, for the family of the deceased, for the people under my rule, I must show a revenge attitude!" β
In fact, Liu Yan secretly pouted in his heart, the Jin people in Hou Zhao belong to the level that can be saved, but the Jin people in Qianyan have been assimilated by Xianbei, and those who know history do not know that the so-called Jin people killed their fellow people the most ruthlessly.
However, some things are right, Liu Yan can't leave room for turning around like the previous few difficult encounters, the territory of Liao1 East is really too important to the Han Department, not only can you plant fields now, accumulate strength or something, but also for the future.
Liu Yan thought to himself: "This is the bridgehead for the former Yan Chrysanthemum in the future!" (To be continued.) )
