Chapter 63: Zhao Xincheng (I)

Xue Rengui was silent for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Fang Jun, and after confirming Fang Jun's eyes, he nodded heavily.

Fang Jun also bowed his head slightly.

It is not that he has a vicious temperament and a ruthless heart, but that he is like Xiao Siye, and if he cannot be severely punished, he will not be able to warn the world with a tragic end.

Collaborating with the enemy and treason, turning his back on his ancestors, and being a man in vain!

Why were the Turks, Xue Yantuo, and even the Hui and Khitan in the future able to become stronger and stronger, gradually endangering the foundation of the Han dynasty, and bringing more and more misery and suffering to the Han people? It is precisely because there are countless people like Xiao Siye who, for their own selfish interests, surrendered to the Hu people, and taught the excellent political system and military knowledge of the Han people to the Hu people, leaving a disaster for thousands of years!

However, after a small person like Xiao Siye confirmed his fate, Fang Jun naturally wouldn't take it to heart anymore.

Refocused on the map.

This is a map of Mobei restored according to the records of historical classics. After all, since the Han Dynasty, the Han people have rarely set foot in the vast land of Mobei, and there have been only a handful of large-scale military operations, and information is extremely scarce.

Among them are some place names, mountains, rivers, etc., which Fang Jun added one by one based on the map in his memory and the confessions of captured prisoners.

Yu Dujun Mountain and Wolf Juxu Mountain are like two outstretched arms, surrounding the vast land from the north to the Beihai, this area is rich in water and grass, dense rivers, and has become the main area of ethnic activities outside the Saiwai, raising countless Hu people, cattle, sheep and horses.

On the grassland, the rise and fall of the Hu people, and the rise of every powerful nation will regard this land as a blessed land given by the gods, and take its conquest as a symbol of domination of the entire Mobei.

Xiongnu, Rouran, Turkic, Xue Yantuo, Hui, and even later Mongolia......

All take this land as a matter of course as a political center.

And the conquest of this place has become the supreme merit and glory of the Han soldiers.

Huo Qu's disease, Dou Xian......

Seal the wolf Juxu, Le Shi Yanran!

……

There are two ways to enter the Dragon City area.

One went out from the white road, passed through Nuozhenshui and Zhao Xincheng, and reached Yu Dujun Mountain, and the other crossed Yin Mountain from Daijun to cross the moraine, and crossed the Gonglu Water to reach the Wolf Juxu Mountain. As long as you climb over Yu Dujun Mountain and Wolf Juxu Mountain, you can be regarded as entering the hinterland of Mobei, whether it is Xue Yantuo's tooth tent or Hui Entrenched Shan Yuting, they are all in this area.

Fang Jun tapped his finger heavily at Zhao Xincheng's position.

*****

After resting all night, the next morning, the north wind gradually weakened, the heavy snow for several days finally stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the sun was seen for a long time.

As soon as the sky was bright and the sun was half exposed, the whole army gathered up the tents and baggage, pulled out the camp and continued to rush north.

After crossing the Nozhen water, it is considered to have entered the moraine.

Although it is full of desolate Gobi Desert, there are also many oases, and countless nomadic tribes live on these oases, chasing the abundant rivers with the changing seasons, grazing cattle and sheep, and multiplying.

Fang Jun didn't have time to pay attention to these scattered tribes, and the army marched all the way north towards Zhao Xincheng, but when he passed through some oases on the way, in order to supply horses, he would send a cavalry to raid and kill. Even so, the Hu tribe on this road can be regarded as suffering......

The Tang army did not have the slightest affection for these Hu people, every young man in the tribe was a warrior, he was a Turkic soldier before, and now he was attached to Xue Yantuo, and whenever he went south to the Han land, he would act as the vanguard of the Turks or Xue Yantuo, burning, killing, and plundering all kinds of evil.

Everyone has the blood of the Han people on their hands, and their evil deeds are stained and difficult to write.

Expecting that the Tang army will sympathize with the old, young, women and children of the Hu people, it is better to pray that the tigers and wolves do not eat meat......

……

Zhao Xincheng.

The embarrassed and fledgled to this place has long lost the demeanor of the nobles of the Qibi Department, with a scruffy beard and a haggard face, and a Tang army of hundreds of people behind him, one person and three horses chasing after him day and night, so frightened that the Qibi Koler even looked at the south with his eyes open when he was relieved, lest the Tang army suddenly appear......

Even so, he was hunted down by the Tang Army several times.

The war horses of the Tang people were all nailed to the horseshoe, and there was no obstacle on such ice-covered roads, while the war horses of the Chebikoler were scrapped from time to time because of the horse's hooves, and several horses were changed along the way, but they did not run as fast as the Tang army.

Every time he was caught up by the Tang army, he had to abandon some of his clansmen to resist the Tang army, but he repeatedly got rid of the Tang army, but there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him......

When he arrived at Zhao Xincheng, he looked back at the hundreds of people who had lost their armor and were scarred by the gathering around him, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, full of tears.

A few days ago, he was still in Wuchuan Town, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and he was one of the most powerful people in Xue Yantuo, but just a few days later, he fled for thousands of miles like a lost dog, abandoning countless clansmen under the swords and arrows of the Tang army......

Even if he escapes with his life, how can he have the face to go back to see the father of the Chebi Department?

The defenders of the city had already discovered the Chebi Koler, and did not recognize him at first, so they sent a team of soldiers to interrogate him, and after asking, they knew that the person in front of him was the Chebi Koler who was guarding Wuchuan Town, and when they learned that Wuchuan Town had been lost, the Tang army was killing at the end of the rank, and they immediately panicked one by one, and hurriedly welcomed the Chebi Koler into the city, and reported to Zhao Xincheng's guard Ni Shu.

In a spacious house in the city, the mud could not wait for Che Kele to rest and eat, so he sent for him to be called to him.

"The Tang Army is already in full swing?"

Mud Shu frowned, quite surprised.

He is the uncle of the Yi Nan Khan, who is nearly sixty years old this year, but he is strong and strong, and he is only about forty years old, his hair is braided into strands of pigtails, his face is full of beard, and his spirit is as powerful as a hero.

Qi Bi Kele looked haggard, and when he heard this, he bowed his head and said: "It is exactly like this, the Tang army suddenly came out of the confession, and the soldiers came to the city of Wuchuan Town, I was defenseless, so I was conquered by the Tang army in one fell swoop, and I escaped from the Tang army's pursuit many times along the way, and then fled to this place." ”

Ni Shuqi said: "What about the generous set? Commanding nearly 100,000 troops into Monan, even if there is any mistake, it will not wipe out the whole army, why don't you report it? Moreover, when Dadu set out for the expedition, the Great Khan instructed him not to go to war with the Tang army head-on, was it just because he coerced Dingxiangcheng that the Tang Dynasty ignored the situation in Liaodong and brazenly started a war with Xue Yantuo? It doesn't make sense! ”

Chebi Kele looked bitter, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "How do I know the secret?" In short, there is no life at all, and in my opinion, I am afraid that it is more auspicious and less auspicious. ”

"How is that possible? That's 100,000 soldiers! All of them are the elite of Xue Yantuo, and there are thousands of iron cavalry, even if they are defeated, it is impossible for the entire army to be wiped out, and no force in the world can completely destroy it! ”

Looking at the stubborn blowing beard and glaring at him, Qi Bi Kele was not in the mood to argue with him, but said indifferently: "Wuchuan Town is lost, my crime is unforgivable, since I should go to the Great Khan to ask for guilt, but the Tang army has already chased and killed, in my opinion, the purpose is to directly smash the Yu Overseer Mountain, so please immediately transfer troops and horses to defend Zhao Xincheng, and at the same time send people to the Khan's tooth tent to report the news and ask for reinforcements to support." ”

Ni Shu was also nervous, and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the Tang Army have?"

He had led the army to engage the Tang army many times, and knew that the combat effectiveness of the Tang army was not weak, and the most important thing was that the Tang people were shameless, often relying on the strength of the people to outnumber the outnumbered, and each time they fought a battle, they sent several times the enemy's army, and the whole line was advanced interspersed with detours, so that the enemy was overwhelmed by one or the other, and the slightest flaw was defeated.

There's no way, there are a lot of Han people......

Chebi Keller thought for a moment and said, "I don't have an exact number, but looking at the size of its military array, I'm afraid it will be no less than 20,000 people." ”

"20,000?"

Ni Shu glared at him: "With only 20,000 people, you can lose Wuchuan Town?" With only 20,000 people, you asked the old man to ask the Great Khan for help? Is it because you are getting more and more useless, or do you think that I am too old to carry a knife or a bow, and I should have gone underground to serve my ancestors and ancestors of the Tiele tribe? ”

It's ridiculous!

What can 20,000 Tang troops do?

Resisting the sky is like Li Jing's thousand-mile raid back then, taking advantage of Jieli Khan's negligence, he broke the Turkic tent and destroyed the Eastern Turks.

Now that he is ready, the Tang Army can't play a surprise attack, so what's the point?

Do you think you lost Wuchuan Town, and Lao Tzu can also lose Zhao Xincheng?
