Yelu Lihu actually died under the shelling of the Tang army.

This was a big surprise......

The Khitans rained down with arrows, but they couldn't stop the stormy charge of the heavily armored iron horsemen!

Yuan Ren held the iron spear between his hands, and kept letting out a roar in his mouth, and the head of the iron spear was wearing an enemy general, and it fell down sharply. He shouted so loudly that he threw the enemy general out of the way.

Boom Rumble......

Iron hooves on the earth, ice and snow flying......

The Khitan army, which had lost its commander, soon collapsed and began to scatter and flee.

……

Five kilometers away from the battlefield, Wu Luan, who was watching the battle at the head of Guyuan City, put down the telescope in his hand, strode down the city tower, and shouted: "All the cavalry get on their horses and go out of the city to fight!" ”

The city gate was opened, and less than 3,000 Zhang Bei cavalry troops left in the city swarmed out, entangled with Xiao Wei's 20,000 Xi troops and horses......

Fight the strong with the weak, even if you die, you will drag them down!

Li Sifeng on the right flank of the Tang Army chased the scattered Khitan cavalry and rushed straight over.

"The whole army retreats!"

Xiao Wei, who had been paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield, still dared to respond to the battle, and fled with his subordinates to abandon the camp.

The life and death of the Khitan people have nothing to do with themselves, and the most important thing is to preserve their strength.

The cavalry on the steppe is a rabble, when they win a battle, they are very tyrannical and brave, and when they are defeated, they will immediately scatter and flee, and they have no intention of organizing to stop them.

The main force of the Tang army gave up the pursuit of Xiao Weisuo's troops who fled south along the Luanhe River and the enemy Lie and Murwei rout troops who fled north across the desert, and bit the troops of Yelu Keli and Yelu Saba to the death, along the southern edge of the desert, along the Huangshui Valley, broke into Shandong, and entered the Linhuang Mansion, the old nest of the Khitans, and then began to plunder.

To do this kind of thing, Li Sifeng and Li Cunshuo, two guys from horse bandits, are the most experienced, so Li Qi ordered them to lead 15,000 cavalry troops each to break into the West Building and raid Yelu Deguang's hometown.

Don't you like to take a large army into the Central Plains, I'll level your hometown first!

The Tang army, which broke into Linhuang Mansion, grabbed people as soon as they saw them, robbed them of money and grain when they saw them, set fire to towns and villages, and set fire to grasslands and forests. The Khitan Shangjing wildfires with abundant water and grass spread, and black smoke covered the sun. Along the Huangshui River, on the road to the grassland on the dam, the people who were driven and escorted by the Tang army were in an endless stream, and the cries and shouts shook the sky, a miserable scene.

More than 30,000 grassland tribes and Han people in the Central Plains and Bohai were forcibly relocated to the grassland of Bashang by the Khitans in the Xilou area.

Except for Linhuang City and Longhua City, almost all the walled cities built by the Khitans were burned.

Wildfire, black blood, snow, smoke, corpses everywhere, the West Building, which Yelu Abaoji spent decades of painstaking efforts to build, was burned down by the invading Tang army in just a few days, and hundreds of thousands of people and millions of livestock were taken captive......

The color of the heavens and the earth changed, and the Khitan ministers who stayed in Zhongjing saw such a miserable scene after Wen Xun arrived, and they fell to the ground and howled......

The Khitans, who often went out to plunder the Central Plains, finally deeply experienced the taste of being plundered this time.

Yelude, who was shocked by the bad news, rushed back to the West Building from Youzhou with 50,000 Khitan elites in only fifteen days.

The brothers died in battle, the ancestral land was plundered, the Empress Dowager Shulu was frightened and fell ill, and the country hated the family, so that the red-eyed Yelu Deguang desperately led the army to chase all the way along the Huangshui.

……

Red Valley is a steep river valley located in the upper reaches of Huangshui.

Li Qi chose this place as the battlefield for a decisive battle with the Khitans.

The main force of both sides of the war was cavalry, but the terrain in this area was not suitable for cavalry warfare.

The history of the war recorded here may be very humiliating for the Chinese people, after the Northeast incident in another world, the devils who once had only two brigades of less than 3,000 people broke through the defense line of the Northeast Army here, drove behind the butts of nearly 100,000 troops, and then rushed into Rehe in one go.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was part of the Royal Horse Farm of the Enclosure, and the scenery was very good, and it was a very famous scenic spot in later generations.

By the beginning of February, the snow had begun to melt, and the Tang army had set up improvised defensive camps on the road leading from the West Liaohe Plain to the Bashang grassland. If the Khitans did not go here, they would have to make a detour of thousands of miles to the north, through the Great Khing'an Mountains, and then through hundreds of miles of desert before they could reach the dam.

The Red Valley was the decisive battle site chosen by Li Qi, in addition to the steep mountain beams, the only passable Huanghe Valley, the narrow space was not conducive to the cavalry to spread out the formation.

As a pioneer general, Yelu Shilu is a clan general who has followed Taizu for many years, and has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Because the frozen soil has not yet been civilized, the Tang army's horse rejection stakes and traps are very poorly arranged, and the legendary thing that can shoot fireballs should be arranged on a certain mountain bag......

This is a new weapon, and it is shocking to hear that Li Hu died under the iron bullets fired by this weapon.

This is where Jerusherus was very confused.

The Tang army broke into Linhuang Mansion, and half of the tribes captured were from the core tribes of the Khitans, and their own nests were attacked, which was the most unbearable thing for Yelu Deguang and the Khitan high-level. If these tribesmen are not recaptured, the prestige of the Khitan high-level will be greatly reduced, and the grassland tribes that have been put together with great difficulty may fall apart again.

Because of this, after Yelu Deguang received the news of the attack on the West Tower, he was desperate and led his elite troops back from Youzhou like meteors. Entering the Linhuang Mansion, the ruined scene he saw made all the soldiers indignant - the Xilou grassland and mountains and forests that were originally rich in water and grass were set on fire by the Tang army and burned to the black ground, full of devastation, and there were almost no people in sight within hundreds of miles, except for all the people who hid in the mountains, almost all the population and livestock were looted.

Thinking that the Tang army was driving their parents and brothers to move to the grasslands outside the mountains like slaves, many Khitan soldiers couldn't help but cry bitterly, deeply realizing the suffering they inflicted on other ethnic groups.

Since entering the Huanghe Valley, Yelu Shilu's heart has become more and more anxious, could it be said that these Khitan elites can't even protect their own clan relatives and friends? I don't know when the Shatuo regime, which only stared at the Central Plains and used the name of the Tang Dynasty, turned their eyes back to the grasslands of the north, and targeted the increasingly powerful Khitan State everywhere.

In my heart, the newly rising Khitan Kingdom still has a trace of awe for the Shatuo people's impersonated Central Plains Dynasty. Taizu Abaoji repeatedly told him not to take the initiative to provoke Li Cunqiao and the Central Plains Dynasty before his death. But the brave emperor who had defeated the Khitan on the battlefield several times was already dead, and he died at the hands of his own people......

Could it be that the Shatuo people were born to be the biggest obstacle to the Khitan Dynasty's prosperity?!

They must be defeated on the battlefield!
