The next morning, the defeated soldiers and horses of the coalition army arrived at the city of Suizhou. They were sleepy and short of horses, and they could not get the horses to replenish in this mountainous city, but they went out of the city at noon to meet the cavalry of the Xu army...... They had no choice, otherwise if they stayed for half a day, a large force of the Xu army's mounted infantry would also arrive in Suizhou! At this time, the troops were exhausted, and the situation of riding away from Suizhou and continuing to flee was even more worrying.

Dong Zunzhi was not at all surprised by the reaction of the enemy soldiers, and he asked his generals: "Can a man outrun a leopard?" ”

The generals were stunned and shook their heads one after another.

Dong Zunzhi said with certainty: "I heard that in the wilderness, experienced hunters can find the whereabouts of the leopard, and they will definitely outrun the leopard!" It won't be able to catch up for a while and a half, but if you take water and dry food and chase it for ten days in a row, can the leopard still run? ”

Everyone listened to it and bowed, and some people took the opportunity to call Dong Zunzhi "General Leopard".

Dong Zunzhi's cavalry was less than 10,000. The coalition forces were at least twice as large as his, but after estimating the odds of victory, Dong Zunzhi decided to face it head-on!

The two armies met again in the northern suburbs of Suizhou City. This may be the last battle of the Battle of Pingxia!

The sun is dazzling, the smoke of gunpowder has gone away, and the yellow dust raised by thousands of horses has made everything even more desolate. Dong Zunzhi looked at it from a distance, the enemy soldiers and horses were relatively chaotic, and the banners were incomplete, but the men and horses were still magnificent.

Dong Zunzhi raised his knife and shouted loudly: "Han family son, loyalty, bravery, Fang is a child!" A lot of iron horses, invincible! Long live our emperor! ”

"Hooray! Long live ......" shouted as if shaking the old Suizhou and Wuding rivers. A large herd of horses roared forward, and the front gradually accelerated, and the undulating riverbank land seemed to have a storm, and the sand and rocks flew for a while.

The front of the Xu army was the first to approach at a galloping speed, and the opposite side was full of dust and fog, and a large number of cavalry were also coming. The knight in front of him, who could no longer see how many people there were on both sides at this time, rumbled in his ears, and the strong wind came towards him with flying sand.

In the dust and mist, the cavalry rushing in front was very sparse, and the cavalry on both sides was not dense. However, the depth is very large, and the line of sight is not clear, and the vision is not too far, so people can only puff up a breath and move forward bravely, unable to stop, and dare not stop!

The sound of "pop pop pop ......" strings seemed to sound from all directions. Black arrows flew from the dust, and the cavalry behind Xu Jun was also throwing indiscriminately.

The cavalry charge could rush out a dozen paces away with a flick of the fingers, and in a flash of the wind, a horse took the lead in rushing to the enemy formation, and the enemy cavalry raised his spear in the face. The knight of the Xu army also picked up the long cherry spear.

"Ahh A loud shout, in the blink of an eye, both sides did not dodge, the Xu army cavalry felt a weight on the cuirass, the right hand rotated, and the cherry spear with the speed of the war horse sprint rotated, easily piercing the armor of the Khitan people on the opposite side, and the screams whistled in the wind. The speed was too fast and the power was so great that the tip of the opponent's spear pierced the breastplate of the Xu army's cavalry, and the sound of metal grinding was terrifying...... Smack, the spear actually broke!

Sergeant Xu's eyes widened, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, but it didn't seem to be deeply hurt. He didn't bother to look at the wound, and the enemy cavalry caught up again. The speed of the charge was too fast, and the Sakura spear could not be pulled out after stabbing into the enemy's body, and the knight hurriedly drew the sword from his back, "Bell! "In the dust and mist, sparks shine.

The sound of killing on the battle array shook the sky, people turned over on their backs, and the dust and mist rolled.

The cavalry movement was very rapid, and the situation in the battle formation changed faster than usual. The party cavalry on both wings of the coalition army was the first to collapse, and the Xu army immediately attacked the Khitan cavalry on three sides, and the defeat of the coalition army came very quickly, and the scene on the battle array became more and more chaotic......

……

A few days later, Guo Shao's chariot army appeared outside Suizhou City, and the city gate was opened. The officials set up by Li Yiyin opened the city gates and gave up resistance altogether.

During the beating of the golden gong of "Bang ......", the musician on the horse played the "Qin King Breaking Array Music". At the gate of the city, the military flag of the Xu army was like a cloud, and the ironclad men and horses like dragons drove into the city.

Guo Shao was in the troika, and he asked Dong Zunzhi and other generals who came to greet him, but he did not find Li Yiyin and other chiefs.

Guo Shao looked out from the curtain again, and those party officials knelt beside the road with the defenders who had put down their weapons, trembling and frightened. Guo Shao observed it and felt that they had indeed lost their courage, and I am afraid that there are very few people in the Pingxia area who still have the confidence to resist the Xu army.

The unexpectedly victorious battle of Wudinghe was indeed once and for all in the entire Pingxia War. You don't have to fight the rest of the city.

At this time, Guo Shao saw that in the crowd beside the kneeling road, there were some people who were dressed completely different from the party members, and they were not Khitans, which reminded Guo Shao of the Tubo and Uighurs he saw in Lingzhou during his western tour last year.

He lowered the curtain and pondered for a moment, and he could probably guess what the mentality of the various departments on the west side of the river was, they did not directly participate in the war this time, but they were definitely inclined to the party.

Most of the first, second, and third armies of the Pingxia Army camped in Suizhou, and the next day, Cao Bin's troops also came to Suizhou. In this quaint and simple city, more than 70,000 people and horses of the Xu army gathered together for a while.

Soon, the Qianying Military Government posted a list of Anmin, and Brother Zhehei and a team of party members also took the notice to beat gongs and drums, and shouted to tell the party residents of Suizhou in party words.

The imperial court declared that the party members were heroes in the Tang Dynasty, and they were in harmony with the Central Plains. However, a small number of tribal leaders were ambitious and reckless, colluding with the enemy country to betray the monarch's father, not only threatening the imperial court, but also bringing the party and the people into war and poverty. Now that the king has put down the rebellion, the Son of Heaven treats the people with kindness, and the soldiers have not committed any crimes, and it is forbidden to kill women and children......

The high-sounding words from the military staff are better spoken than sung...... But this list is not without its effect. It showed the attitude of the imperial court to rule the Pingxia region at the fastest speed. At least it wasn't a massacre, otherwise the words on the table wouldn't have said so.

On the contrary, the Tibetan Uighurs who came to the Pingxia area to watch, and those who stayed in Suizhou before they had time to run, soon fell ill. Cao Si, a privy councillor who accompanied the army, first figured out where they lived, and soon the hotel was smashed open by the soldiers. A group of soldiers couldn't help but say that they arrested these people into the Chinese army.

Before they could figure out the situation, they were locked up in a low house and beaten severely. Not long after, a civil official came, and said in a fierce voice: "Someone has already confessed, is it true that you have come to the party as an envoy to fund the party Khitan war horses, iron tools, grain and grass for your master?" ”

A group of people cried out. Then they were separated and detained, and they were coerced and lured day and night. Soon someone recruited, they were not envoys, they just came to see the situation, but they knew that there were indeed Hexi nobles who funded the party army.
