Chapter 172: The Poison Release
After the blow, Murong Ba's face was as white as paper.
In the case of serious injury, facing an evenly matched opponent is an act of seeking death.
As soon as the thought flashed, he didn't care about saying something about the scene, he didn't say a word, he hurriedly covered his lower abdomen with his hands, his whole body lay on the horse's back, and the horse flew away in the direction of the Khitan army formation.
Along the way, blood dripped from time to time, and this sudden change immediately attracted the attention of the Khitan general.
From the Di people's military formation, Hula, dozens of Di generals rushed out of their horses, all of them greeted Murong Ba with a solemn face, and instantly protected him in the middle, while guarding against Zhu Li, while hugging the injured Murong Ba to return to the military formation.
By the time Zhu Li returned to his horse and turned around, Murong Ba had been protected by General Di, and he was about to enter the military formation, even if he wanted to chase him, it was impossible.
The soldiers of the Tang Army, when they saw that General Di had fled, and the generals on their side were still standing majestically on the battlefield, their expressions were all excited.
Gao Yuan took the lead in waving his spear and shouted: "General Shenwu." ”
"Bang, bang, Shenwu."
"Bang, bang, Shenwu."
......
As the commander of the trap, Gao Yuan shouted his might, and immediately led the response of the three thousand trapping guards.
While brandishing steel spears and beating the big shield in their hands vigorously, they echoed and shouted in unison, and then the entire palace guards, countless archers, and Yue cavalry of Juyong Pass immediately followed suit.
"The General is Mighty"
"Shogun Shenmu"
......
Tens of thousands of people jumped and tens of thousands of people shouted, breaking through the nine skies and straight into the sky.
Such a cheering and exhilarating scene is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face in the eyes of the Khitan, Tuhun, and Xi people.
Xi Shuai's face was gloomy as Brother Ra, the chief Balla and Da Ra Yu Yue Ye Lu Shi Lu, the fierce general Jelu Sara, and Yi Li Jin Yu Yue Ye Lu Shi Ge Si Ra Ge Si Ra Ge Ge Ra Shi Ru Shi Lu
Murong Ba is the first fierce general of the Khitan, and in the eight Khitan departments, he holds the position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, which is equivalent to the model of the Khitan general.
Now that even he has been defeated and injured, you can imagine how embarrassed Di Ren's mood is.
Among the Di people, without absolute force to subdue the Quartet, they will never want to sit in the position of tart horse tamarin.
In the Khitan tribe, the invincible Murong Ba was defeated, or defeated at the hands of a little-known little thorn history, Di Ren was unbelievable at the same time, but also like a mourner.
Although Zhu Li lost the opportunity to hunt down Murong Ba, he also crushed the Khitan's attempt to defeat the morale of the Tang army, Murong Ba's defeat, in recent days, the Khitans will not attack Guancheng, this is obvious, they need time, rebuild morale.
Before Zhu Li arrived, Jeruzara, who won consecutive battles, had pushed the morale of the Khitan to the peak.
But since Gao Siji was defeated and fled, and Li Hanzhi faced the battle, Jeruzara was defeated, which was equivalent to destroying a small half of the morale accumulated by the Di people.
Murong Ba came to the rescue, but Zhu Li was stabbed with more than a dozen holes in his body, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he would have almost died on the spot, after this battle, Zhu Li completely destroyed the morale of the Di people, and there was nothing left.
Unless someone fights against Zhu Li and wins the battle, but even Murong Trai is defeated, who else can defeat this person, at least in the Khitan army, there is no such person now.
Back in Guancheng, Zhu Li was welcomed like never before,
Even the two brothers, Gao Siji and Gao Mian, also looked worshipful, and bowed their hands to meet them, with a very humble attitude.
There is a large hall on Juyong Pass, which can be expected, discussed, and ordered.
Before nightfall, the congregation will gather here.
As a rebellious identity, Zhu Li was invited to the main seat, which made Gao Siji and Gao Mian feel a burst of surprise in their hearts.
Yue Peng raised his hand and said, "General Xinlin, let my subordinates introduce the recent situation." ”
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble Brother Yue." Zhu Li said sincerely.
All this, in the eyes of Li Hanzhi, Gao Yuan, and Zhang Guimu, is a matter of course, after all, they know that Yue Pengju is from Shuozhou.
But in the eyes of Gao Siji, Gao Mian and others, they were puzzled.
Zhu Li came from afar to reinforce, it was a guest army, Yue Pengju was a general of Fan Yang, he shouldn't claim to be a subordinate anyway, if Yue Pengju claimed to be a subordinate, then what should they do?
Yue Pengju is the commander of the Zhenyuan Army, and the two of them are just generals of the mighty army, in the territory of Fanyang, if they meet Yue Pengju on the road, they will have to call each other a general for the sake of face.
Now that even the generals claim to be subordinates, what else do the two generals have to say, they can only follow and claim to be subordinates.
These are all trivial matters, Yue Pengju has no time to speculate on the complicated hearts of these two people, he is far away from his homeland, and he took his family to the north, which is to be loyal to Zhu Li, in front of Zhu Li, claiming to be a subordinate, is there anything wrong.
"General, the total strength of the enemy is nearly 200,000, and it is divided into four parts, one Khitan Yili Sumire, one Khitan Dara, one Xiren, and one Tuhun."
"Due to the hasty battle of the Guangbian army, a thousand miles of collapse, resulting in the loss of Yanzhou, in order to plunder Yanzhou, the four departments gathered, and now they arrived at Juyong Pass together, although they are together now, it does not mean that they will always be together, and it is possible to divide the troops to attack and plunder."
"To the west of Juyong Pass, there is a military capital and a partial head; To the east of Juyong Pass, there are North Pass and Xifeng Pass, which are the key points of the Di people to the south, and they are also important passes for us to deploy. ”
Speaking of this, Yue Pengju looked up at Zhu Li, Beikou and Xifengkou are both in the jurisdiction area of the Lulong Jiedu envoy, and he can control the deployment of these two passes.
But the military capital and the bias are within the scope of Shuozhou, so it is not something he can control.
Zhu Li naturally knew what he meant, and said: "The military capital is one of the eight Taihang mountains, and there are mountains on both sides; I sent the general Liang Zhangjun to defend it, he himself is a Xirong person, and there are nearly 3,000 Xirong warriors under his subordinates, and the entire army is garrisoned with 10,000 guards, and the Xiongguan is in hand, even if the Di people divide half of the troops to go, they may not necessarily take it. ”
"As for the deviation of the head, there is no need to worry." Zhu Li said confidently.
Not only did Yang Zaixing personally lead the six thousand mansions to defend the garrison, but also in the Yin Mountain, there were tens of thousands of horse thieves under the command of Zhang Guihou as a response, as long as Yang Zaixing blocked for a while, Zhang Guihou took the opportunity to attack, covering up from behind the Di people, and was caught off guard, if the Di people were undefeated, they would be ghosts.
Zhu Li's confident expression seemed to put Yue Pengju at ease, and then continued: "Beikou, there are 30,000 people from Zhenyuan Army who I personally sent to garrison, and as for Xifengkou, it depends on the mighty army." ”
Yue Peng looked at Gao Siji and Gao Mian, and said meaningfully.
"General Yue rest assured, there is General Converse at Xifengkou, and 40,000 soldiers of the mighty army are stationed in Xiongguan, so there should be no loss." Gao Siji knew what Yue Pengju meant, and he naturally said that Li Congwei was magnificent.
Forty miles away from Juyong Pass, there is a boundless camp tent stationed here, which is the garrison tent of Beidi.
In the tent, Jerodah sat on the throne, and the others sat on either side.
Yelu's expression was gloomy, and he said in a dull voice: "Juyong Pass has always been difficult to attack, and we waited for a few days to attack it, and we lost nearly 10,000 erlangs, but we still couldn't move a single bit; originally hoped to improve morale through the battle, and then break through the Juyong Pass in one go, and didn't want to be stirred up by the history of Shuozhou Thorns, what should I do now? ”
"Brother Jeruhadi, let's divide our forces and plunder." Brother Xi Shuai made a suggestion.
"Yes, there are more than 200,000 troops, people eat horses and chew, and the daily consumption is huge, rather than spending it here, it is better to divide the troops to attack and plunder." The Tuhun chieftain also echoed in his voice.
Murong Ba, who was wrapped in a cloth belt, glanced at the two of them and said gloomily: "Divide the troops? Hmph, Zhu Li, as the assassin of Shuozhou, dared to increase troops to help, which shows that the two fortresses adjacent to Shuozhou's military capital and Yaotou, we don't have to think in vain, there must be heavy guards there. ”
"At present, Juyong Pass can't be taken, our only choice is Xifengkou, the terrain at Xifengkou is uneven, and it is not suitable for large-scale cavalry impact, Juyong Pass can't be taken, and Xifengkou is not necessarily easy to break."
When everyone heard this, their brows furrowed.
The livestock on the steppe had a large-scale animal plague this summer, and many of them died, which led to the raids of the various tribes in the south.
They had just robbed Yanzhou, and they were about to show their strength, sweeping all the way south, and when they looked up, they encountered Juyong Pass, and the current Juyong Pass is more difficult to get down than before.
Looking at everyone's sad looks, a cold light flashed in Yelu Shilu's eyes, and he said gloomily: "In Yanzhou, you should have robbed a lot of Han slaves, if you are willing to sacrifice them, you have an idea, maybe you can break through Juyong Pass in one fell swoop?" ”
"Hmm, what's a good plan?" Jerush's words immediately attracted the attention of others.
If they can break through Juyong Pass and then rush into the territory of Lulong, at that time, the beautiful and shy Han beauties, and the strong and hard-working Han male slaves, they will not catch as many as they want.
The condition was only to sacrifice the slaves obtained by the concubine, and in their opinion, as long as the strategy worked, it was not a big problem.
The expressions of the people, Yelu Shilu took in the eyes, and the hanging heart also relaxed, and said leisurely: "It's very simple, put these Han men and women in front of the siege army, and drive them to attack the city, just look at the generals and guards of the Han people, facing their own people, and they can't do it." ”
"Driving people to attack the city?" A trace of hesitation flashed in Yelu's eyes, since ancient times, the generals who dared to use this strategy have all died well, and their people have been left behind for thousands of years.
"Yes, the Han people have always boasted of benevolence, righteousness and generosity, those guards who stood on top of the city pass, under the name of protecting the territory and the people, it sounded disgusting, didn't they want to calm the people, then look at the people they guarded, whether they killed or not?" Yelu Shilu looked around the crowd evilly, and spoke out in a gloomy manner.
In the handsome tent, after a short period of silence, Brother Xi Shuai was the first to praise: "It is worthy of Da Ra Yu Yue, this move is really ruthless enough, if the Han people succeed and kill the clansmen with their own hands, with their hearts, I am afraid that they will have nightmares for the rest of their lives." ”
"Yes, if they can't do it, our warriors will be mixed up and attack the city together, and it shouldn't be difficult to break through Juyong Pass when the time comes." The Tuhun chieftain Polla also echoed.
