Chapter 478: Yang Xuan divides his troops
"Dashuai, the brothers have been out of food for several days, and their stomachs are weak without food." Cheng Xishan rode to Yelu Dashi's side and pleaded bitterly.
"Smack!" Yelu Dashi shook his hand and whipped Cheng Xishan, "It's been snowing heavily in the past few days, and it's not easy to walk on the road, and the supplies from the Bout Gu and the servant bones are a few days late, can't this difficulty be overcome?" ”
Cheng Hee-sun's face was sucked open, but he didn't dare to touch it, and he kept a bitter face and didn't know what to say.
"Dashuai, something happened." At this moment, Yelu Chu quietly attached to Yelu Dashi's ear, "Yelu Kun of Baye Guna has been destroyed, and the entire tribe has left nothing but corpses. ”
"What?" Yelu Dashi's face was full of disbelief, and after receiving Yelu Chu's affirmative answer, his face became heavy.
"Mingjin retreats!" Putting down this sentence, he turned his horse's head and took the lead towards the camp.
Only Cheng Xishan was left surprised and delighted, and he didn't know what was going on with a blank face.
"What's going on? Who did this to you? In the big tent, Yelu Dashi still couldn't believe that the entire 20,000 people had been killed quietly, and he still didn't know who did it.
"Commander Qiqi, I really don't know who did it. The opponent is not simple, he does it neatly, and every living mouth is left. Yelu Chu also had a solemn face.
Yelu Dashi kept wandering in the tent, wondering what was going on.
"With so many cattle, sheep, and ancient people disappearing, the opponent will definitely not be able to go far. Yin Mountain, they must be hiding in Yin Mountain. "He is worthy of being a famous handsome man in Khitan, and after a little pondering, he found out Yang Xuan's hiding place.
"If it is hidden in Yin Mountain, it will be troublesome, Yin Mountain is so big, we may not be able to exterminate them." Yelu Chu frowned and said, "Moreover, Yinshan can threaten our camp in Kedun City, and secondly, it is stuck on the communication artery leading to Kedun City by the two tribes of Bayegu and Servants, and our materials will be threatened by them at any time." With them, we're afraid we won't be able to defeat this Kedun City. Obviously, Yelu Dashi saw much farther than Yelu Chu, "Our military rations are running out, and these people must be solved immediately." I'll give you five days to send scouts to find out what's going on there, and in five days I'll send troops to exterminate them. ”
Yelu Chu went out to give the order, and Yelu Dashi was left in the big tent to ponder the beginning and end of this matter. He always felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined. In fact, when the Khitans first started to fight the Uighurs, it was smooth sailing, and at that time, the northern court had not yet pit the southern court, and the two courts were also sincerely united, and almost destroyed the Uighur Khanate. After the North Court pitted the South Courtyard, although the Northern Court was in the limelight in the Khitan country for a while, it was also a little weak against the Upper Uighurs, otherwise the war would not have dragged on until now.
Now a mysterious armed force has appeared threatening the logistical baggage of his army, and he feels bad. He also wanted to know that this was a radius of three hundred miles
Where did the Falcon come from to fight him?
"General Yang, the intersection into the mountain has been guarded by good people, and if the Khitans want to come, they have to fill it with their lives." Wu He walked up to Yang Xuan and reported respectfully.
During this period of time, Yang Xuan had been attacking everywhere, and after intercepting several supplies from the Servant Bone Tribe to Kedun City, the Wuyan brothers were very respectful to him. They knew that in this way, the Khitan camp in Kedun City might run out of food.
"Okay, be sure to strengthen the fortifications. As soon as the Khitans ran out of food, they didn't care about attacking the city of Kedun. It is estimated that all the energy will be put on our side, and if you are not prepared, you will definitely suffer. Yang Xuan instructed.
"Don't worry, General Yang. As long as we can hold out for a month or two, the Khitans will have to withdraw, and then we will have several months of respite in the Uighur Khanate. We will defend to the death! Wu Yan agreed.
"General, the Khitan scouts have arrived, there are more than 500 people, and they are not weak." At this moment, Heiwa strode in, covered in blood, and threw the Khitan armor and weapons in her hand in front of everyone in the house.
"The Khitan Great Horde?" Seeing the dark iron armor and sharp scimitar on the ground, Uga gasped, "It seems that we have indeed aroused the jealousy of Yelu Dashi, and there is no vain under the fame, this person should be really cautious." In order to find out who we are, even the most elite big tent soldiers under our command have been sent. ”
"The Great Horde? Isn't it amazing? Heiwa asked suspiciously.
The two Wuyan brothers looked at Heiwa like monsters, "That big tent soldier is the elite of the Khitan people, and he was selected by thousands of people in the Khitan army of millions, do you say it's powerful?" When you fight them, don't you find them difficult to deal with? ”
"It's a little, this time we lost more than 100 brothers." Heiwa said distressedly.
"What? More than 100 of you left more than 500 Khitan soldiers behind? Wu Yan exclaimed, looking incredulous, he really didn't expect these scouts of Heiwa to be so elite.
"Heiwa, what the hell are you doing? Reimburse me for more than 100 people in a battle, do you believe that I broke your legs? Yang Xuan almost died of distress, stood up and pointed at Heiwa and scolded.
"Lord Yang, don't bring such a burying person." Uga smiled bitterly, "Do you know how many Uighur cavalry it takes to kill a Khitan horde?" Seven or eight people don't necessarily keep one. More than 100 of you have killed more than 500 people, and you are not satisfied? ”
"How can porcelain touch a clay pot?" Yang Xuan said arrogantly without care, obviously not taking the so-called Khitan big tent soldiers in his eyes.
"General, don't despise Yelu Dashi." Wuyan Zhengse said, "This person is a famous general in the Khitan Northern Courtyard, and he is very famous in the entire Khitan. The Khitan North Courtyard can have today, and this person is definitely indispensable. Even Yelu Zonghan, the king of the North Courtyard, has to give him some face, this person is the most proud
's record is to lead 30,000 Khitan cavalry to run thousands of miles, break through behind the Xi tribe, and wipe out hundreds of thousands of Xi people. We Uighurs have been fighting against him for so long, and we Uighurs have never benefited from them. ”
"Don't worry, I know it." Yang Xuan nodded, "After sending the scouts, Yelu Dashi is estimated to be overwhelmed by a large army, and we can't all be blocked by him in this Yin Mountain." We have a lot of cattle, sheep, and supplies, but it's not enough for us to consume 60,000 people, so I plan to divide the troops. ”
"Yes, it's right to divide the troops." Wu Yan also agreed, "I plan to take my five thousand men to the tooth tent to kill, and I must let the khanate know about the existence of our army." Maybe the Khanate can send troops to attack the Khitans on both sides with us. ”
"Okay, you take 5,000 men and horses to the west to kill, and I take 10,000 people to the side of the Servant Bone Tribe, mainly to cut off the grain route of the Khitans. Yinshan left Shen Kuo with 5,000 people and tens of thousands of people to guard it. He selected another 20,000 people from tens of thousands of people, of which nearly 10,000 of us Han people were young and strong, and these people were the best at defending the city. Let's give them a fire everywhere and a flower blooms in the center! Yang Xuan said what he thought in his heart.
"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan!" The Wuyan brothers also agreed.
Yelu Dashi frowned and looked at the snow-covered Daqing Mountain, his face extremely gloomy. The mountain was silent, not a sound, but he knew that there must be tens of thousands of horses hidden there.
That mysterious group of centaurs can only hide in the Yinshan Mountain Range, and the entire mountain range is only the Daqing Mountain where the trees are lush and can still hide people, unlike other mountains, which are bare and have nothing. Therefore, Yelu Dashi has a clear goal to lead Chen Bing to the foot of Daqing Mountain.
"Dashuai, all the mountain passes in the entire Yin Mountain have been blocked by people. Our 500 Khitan soldiers are here. Then Jeruchu came and arranged five hundred corpses neatly behind him.
Without saying a word, Yelu Dashi walked over and bent down to look at the corpse of a Khitan big tent soldier, and pulled a crossbow arrow from his chest.
"What a sharp crossbow arrow, one arrow kills. Look at this arrow, it's really good steel. Only the Central Plains have such sophisticated weapons, could it be the Central Plains? can quietly kill all of our five hundred kings, and it can't be the Central Plains people who did it, who is it? What do you think, Jeruchu? The corpses of the five hundred tent soldiers were placed in front of him, and Yelu Dashi was distressed, for he had not lost five hundred tent soldiers in the long history of the war with the Uighurs. You must know that almost all of the big tent soldiers are controlled by the royal family, and the number of people distributed in each army is very small, and each of them is a treasure, and the Ping clan is reluctant to use it.
"I don't think it was the Han people who did it, the Han people don't have such skills." Yelu Chu pondered for a moment and said, "At most, the Uighurs got elite weapons from the Han Chinese. However, our enemies are not to be underestimated, and they are very capable of eating our 500 elite big tent soldiers. By the way, the scouts came to report that two groups of men and horses rushed out of Yinshan, one with 10,000 people to the east and the other with 5,000 people to the west. ”
