Chapter 360: The Turks Invade

Yuan Langjun did lead the army, and under the guidance of Li Kaigu's guide, he walked out of the complex mountain road, suddenly opened up, and went up the river to the southwest of Liucheng.

It's just that there was some accident, someone took the lead, and when the banner of the Zhou army rose in the south of Liucheng, the Khitans outside the city were already in chaos

led a team of horsemen to a small hill three miles southwest of Liucheng and looked down. Not far away, the "tranquility" and "harmony" of the Khitan Khan's court had been completely broken, and thousands of fierce cavalry, divided into the west and north, attacked the Khitan tribesmen.

The iron cavalry swept by, the people howled and the horses neighed, the cattle ran and the animals fled, and the Khitans in Liucheng were all at a loss when the enemy suddenly arrived, and there was no other means of countermeasures except for the senseless wailing and killing.

On the contrary, some Khitan men resisted with swords, wanting to wait for Li Duzhong in the city to lead the army and lead them to resist the attack. However, no one knew that their khan was dead

Before the Khitan victorious army in the city was dispatched, the attack outside quickly turned into a massacre, of course, even if it attacked, with only a few men and horses in the city, even if the elite faced thousands of enemy horses, it was difficult to do anything.

Yuan Langjun looked into the distance, his eyes wide open, looking at the fire that was rising in the north. Although it is winter, there is no shortage of combustibles outside Liucheng, and the fierce flames emit dazzling light, spreading and devouring

"It's the Turkic Tiger Division!" Yuan Hui's side, noticing Yuan Langjun's surprised look, Uller said to him with certainty.

Not hiding his surprise at all, Yuan Hui muttered: "It's a coincidence that the Turks have the same mind as me." The road is far away, and the action is still in front of me. Tiger Division, I don't know if it is for Na Mo Si to personally lead the army? ”

"What are you going to do, Governor?" Li Kaigu asked impatiently, staring at the unscrambling Turkic cavalry in the distance, his expression showing some ruthlessness.

Turning his head and glancing at him, Yuan Hui asked, "How do you think the general should use his troops to fight?" ”

Glanced at by Yuan Langjun's cold eyes, Li Kaigu's body tensed, his head cleared, and the hot blood surging cold. In a moment of excitement, I forgot the purpose of this trip.

Yuan Hui led the army to come on this trip, and endured a lot of hardships along the way, and he also tasted the hardships of marching against time, and he was supposed to do what the Turks were doing.

Although he was curious about why the Turkic cavalry had come to this, he was very happy in his heart, and his pressure was greatly reduced. At the very least, the risk of his surprise has been minimized with the "help" of the Turks.

"Hold high the banner of the general, the cavalry in front, the infantry in the rear, attack the south, and avoid the Turks!" Without much hesitation, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Yuan Hui issued an order to attack.

Turning back to the infantry cavalry army that had already been placed in an attack formation, Yuan Hui didn't say any more morale-boosting nonsense, leading the soldiers to rush away.

In the northwest of Liucheng, under the Phnom Penh Daxu, with a sweat on his head and a strong armor, the Turkic Khan Ashinamo really came in person. Sitting on the horse, calmly enjoying the performance of the tiger master under his command, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked quite complacent.

In the past few years, he retreated to the Turkic court, excluded dissidents, and easily leveled the opposition forces in the country.

For Da Zhou, he paid close attention to the line of the snake spirit. It was about three years ago that he was hurt and hesitated to invade the south, so he led the army northward and plundered the nine surnamed Tiele, which gained a lot of money, which not only strengthened the strength of the Turks, but also consolidated the position of Mo Si.

Of course, as an ambitious and warlike man, and a Turkic khan, how could Mo Si always hold back his desire to go south. In fact, after the defeat of the Zhou army in the Battle of Surohan Mountain in March this year, Mo Si had the intention of mobilizing troops.

At that time, he sent his henchman general Haril to lead a Turkic eagle division to move west to Longyou, and the troops came to Liangzhou, intending to bargain. However, Tubo had no intention of expanding the war with the Great Zhou, and the two sides quickly sat down at the negotiating table, which suddenly made Mo Si's calculation come to naught.

Until the Yingzhou Rebellion, Li Quanzhong raised troops, and there were two choices in front of Mo Si. One is like the snake spirit sent people to persuade him, and he attacked the Great Zhou in the south, and joined forces inside and outside to carve up the Great Zhou

The very seductive foreground picture scroll was punctured by Apo Dagan Ashina Yuanzhen, and then Mo Si chose another path. He plundered the Khitan in the east to enrich himself, and at the same time sent the Shendu to ask Wu Cao for the Turkic households placed in Hequ Prefecture, as well as strategic materials such as grain, seeds, farm tools, and iron tools.

It can not only befriend the Great Zhou, alleviate antagonism, but also strengthen its strength, and suppress the Khitan whose power has become increasingly prosperous over the years. In Mo Si's view, there only needs to be one overlord in the grass frontier, that is, the Turks, so he decisively accepted the suggestion and waved his army to the east.

As for whether it will ruin the plans of his "good friend" Snake Spirit, he doesn't care at all

When the Great Zhou army was still entangled with the Khitan in the western Liaoxi states, Mo Si had quietly led the army to the east. It was directly discovered that Sun Wanrong was on an eastward expedition, and Liucheng was empty, so he led five thousand iron horsemen to come from the northwest over the mountains and rivers. Mo Si Na is also a risk-taking person.

"Khan, General Qige reported that a Zhou army had suddenly been killed from the south and was attacking the Khitan tribesmen south of Liucheng. General Ziggy heard, how did our army respond? A Turkic knight galloped up and whispered to Mo.

Turning his head suddenly, Mo Si was also surprised, and shrugged his nose: "The Great Zhou Army? Who is in the lead? ”

"I saw the other party waving the 'yuan' flag!"

"Yuan?" His eyes froze, his mouth slanted and he sneered, and Mo Si immediately reacted: "It's that Yuan Hui!" ”

Obviously, Mo Si is very familiar with some of the situations in Da Zhou. Kicking the horse's belly, he led people to rush to the south, went around, rubbed his body and looked into the distance, observing the Great Zhou army that suddenly came out from the south.

After only looking at it for a while, he raised his hand and supported a knight beside him: "Go, tell Qige, don't pay attention to the Zhou army, let him stop caring about the Khitan old and weak outside the city, concentrate his forces, and attack Liucheng." Ben Khan, the Zhou army must enter the city first! ”

"Yes!"

Obviously, from the movements of the Zhou army, Mo Si probably understood the meaning of Yuan Langjun, and the two were very tacitly agreed, first to solve the Khitan, and then discuss the rest.

Added up to the two sides, the army of seven or eight thousand is not a weak soldier, where is the Khitan weak pawn can resist it. After a long time, the principal in the city, Li lost his life, and finally figured out who the enemy was.

The Turks, increasing the Zhou army, were desperate and chaotic, and finally had a reaction. It's a stupid reaction, instead of leading the army and civilians to defend the city walls and waiting for reinforcements, it is just to send troops out of the city

Liucheng, in a short period of time, was breached!
