Chapter 0196: Counterattack
Xiao Tianjing is only 25 years old this year, and he is already the executive commander of this 200,000-strong army.
And Empress Dowager Xiao took the four-year-old Emperor of Liao to go on the expedition, not because she knew how to fight, but because she felt that it would be unsafe for the troops to leave Shengjing.
After all, many princes and nobles looked at her unpleasantly, and she only felt relieved when she stayed in the army. And she only has such a son, and it is impossible to have a second one.
Uncle Xiao Tianjian's male and female appearances are feminine, and right-law men are also used to piercing earrings, which looks more feminine. Xiao Tianzhen, his eldest brother with a tiger's back, can't tell that they are □ compatriots, but more like his sister.
However, he is only feminine on the outside, but tenacious on the inside, resourceful and strategic.
Twenty miles from Pyongyang, he suddenly changed the direction of his march, and instead of helping to relieve the siege of Pyongyang, he traveled south to the city of Silla, which was occupied by the Orientals.
Xiao Tianjing ordered the vanguard troops to be defeated three times in a row, leading the enemy into the wolf and tiger ditch, a fire, burning 30,000 Orientals, cutting off the back road and killing 30,000, the Orientals were crippled in a battle, and three days later conquered Silla City, besieged and killed 70,000, and completely exterminated the Oriental bandits.
At the same time, the siege of Pyongyang will not be resolved by itself.
Seeing that the general trend has gone, the people of Fuyu offered the prince as a quality to show their sincerity, and from then on they surrendered to the right law, respected the emperor of the Great Liao State, and knelt down to ask the Liao Emperor to be entitled.
Xiao Tian said: "These alone are not enough, send your princess here and give my nephew a child daughter-in-law." In addition, 3,000 cattle, 3,000 horses, and 30,000 sheep are paid every year, otherwise troops will inevitably be sent to conscript. ”
His nephew is naturally the four-year-old little emperor Yelu Taiji, and this year Princess Fuyu is already twelve years old.
Since then, the sons and daughters of the king of Buyeo have been placed under house arrest under the hands of the right lawyers, and at the same time, Xiao Tianjian planted a bane on the Yuyang Peninsula, he did not expel the power of the king of Buyeo, but only let Buyeo and Yuyang sign a peace agreement, but did not divide the territory.
This trick is so ruthless that even Empress Dowager Xiao can't stand it.
"If you arrange it like this, the two of them will have to fight sooner or later." Empress Dowager Xiao complained.
"Sister, that's exactly what I want to see. Let the two of them fight in the nest, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, if one bullies the other and the other is bullied tightly, we will take action to suppress the momentum, so that they will all surrender to us, this is a long-term solution. Xiao Tianjian smiled and said.
Xiao Tianjian's counterinsurgency was completed in only one month.
At this time, the Hexi Corridor was in full swing, and the king of Xinsangla swallowed Misanzha and lost eight states in a row, gathered his troops and concentrated them in the city of Lanzhou, and the trapped beasts were still fighting.
The ferocious murder was red-eyed, and the women were all sent to the city, claiming that people would not die and the city would not be broken.
As the king of Sangla, he didn't even let go of the Sangla women, and they caught up with the city together, fighting like men, but the women's strength was small, and they might not hurt one out of ten, but they just looked like there were more people.
Tun Missanza is simply insane.
And what drove him crazy was the old and strong Liang Dynasty Sima Tang Zhen.
When he was young, General Tang was majestic, and now he is old, and his majesty is undiminished.
This year, he was seventy-three years old.
After the old man led his troops to rescue his fifth son, Tang Su, he kept going non-stop and pursued with victory.
King Sangla wanted to form a barrier in Wuzhou, Chengzhou, and Qinzhou, and waited for King Khami Holihan to send troops to support.
But the old marshal didn't give him that time to wait, Tang Zhen divided the troops into three teams on the left, middle and right, Tang Su led the left army, Huang Ying led the middle army, and Sima Kuo led 100,000 tiger army as the right army.
Tunmi Sanzha retreated to Weizhou with the intention of defending Xiangwu City, but Tang Yuan forcibly occupied the empty city one step in advance, Tang Yuan did not make a noise, and let the city continue to hang the banner of Sangla.
When Tunmi Sangza arrived, he saw that the head of the city was the banner of Sangla, so he was about to enter the city, and was almost caught by Tang Yuan's urn.
Although the king of Sangla escaped, his troops suffered heavy casualties, and the eighteenth army of the western expedition wiped out 7,000 enemy troops in less than an hour, and all this happened in the city of Weng in Xiangwu City.
The little Weng City is filled with 7,000 dead bodies, what a tragic situation, indescribable.
Tang Zhen was overjoyed and praised Tang Yuan: "The future is terrifying, and in time, he will be the pillar of the country." ”
For half a month in a row, Tang Su won Danzhou and Diezhou;
Huang Ying besieged Taozhou after breaking through Minzhou;
The Tiger Ben army Sima Kuo besieged Qinzhou, suddenly changed his fighting style, and 100,000 troops fired rockets into the city, and a fire burned to ruins.
Da Sima gathered a three-way army in Xiangwu City, and soon waved his troops to Lanzhou.
At this time, the grassland reinforcements that Sangla King Tunmi Sanzha had been waiting for for many days had not come, he finally went crazy, the men were gone, the women went to the battlefield, and the dead bodies in Lanzhou City were piled up.
A large army besieged Lanzhou, and at the same time, Tang Su led his troops to continue westward and march into Hezhou.
At this time, the grassland god of war Ashina Devin led 20,000 troops to guard here, he was not good at fighting defensive battles, and he actually led his troops to kill, and the two groups of people encountered in the East Valley.
The second encounter, the nine-rank war general slashed Ashina Devin with a torture knife, avenging the last one-arrow revenge.
The steppe cavalry fought tenaciously, and the death of the god of war did not destroy their will to fight, divided into two teams, with the mobility of the archers, one group fled to Pingyi to capture the city, and the other fled to Fenglin Pass.
Tang Su led his troops to fight Fenglin Pass and asked Tang Yuan to fight the razing. Tang Yuan received the order and walked slowly and leisurely to the west.
"Huh? Xiaofeng, why aren't you in a hurry? Tang Hu asked Hanhan.
"Is it useful to be in a hurry?" Tang Yuan squinted at him: "In the past half a month, the soldiers have become tired, people are sleepy and tired, and they can't ask for speed anymore." Let's walk slowly, and when we get to the place, the enemy is gone. ”
"You're deliberately letting them run?" Tang Hu was puzzled.
"Let me ask you a question." Tang Yuan said: "What are we here for?" ”
"Fighting."
"Do you have to fight hard?"
"So what? Come to enjoy the mountains and waters? ”
"Elm head." Tang Yuan scolded: "We are here to expel the Tartars and regain lost territory, not to kill people. If the enemy army can run away obediently, we still have a fart? The steppe cavalry we are pursuing now is simply a frightened bird, as long as we send them out of the Hexi Corridor, they themselves will run away, why bother to fight with them? Their arrows hit you in the head, and you have a lot of energy? ”
"It's not good." Tang Hu shook his head again and again.
The steppe cavalry is characterized by its courage and mobility, and it is extremely agile, and they shoot arrows at long distances, including the first charge, and only draw the full moon scimitar when they are fighting. It's really hard to fight.
They are very good at fighting in a roundabout way, making the battlefield very big and big, all over the mountains, and the Liang army has many infantry, and it is too much to fight them.
Not to mention the infantry, even the cavalry is not comfortable, Tang Hu was wearing heavy armor, and he still got an arrow wound all over his body, and an arrow cut through his eyelids, almost missing one of his eyes.
"Hey, Tang Yuan!"
“……?”
Why did you suddenly hear a woman's voice, and it was so familiar, Tang Yuan turned his head suddenly: "Lin ......, why are you here?" ”
