Chapter 691: Wind and Clouds
Su Fa personally went out on the horse, he has eaten enough stuffy these days, these 5,000 people galloped all the way, chased down to the east, and they must be killed to relieve their anger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHalf an hour later, the tail of the enemy troops in front of them had already come into their sight. The commander of Suva quickened his pace, and soon, the two sides engaged.
Ashina Sheer hurriedly organized a counterattack against the enemy, and commanded the soldiers of Futu City to shoot a dense number of long arrows behind them while retreating, but those grain and grass carts and some baggage pulled out of the camp could no longer be cared about, and they were thrown everywhere along the way.
Su Vashi strictly ordered that he should not pick up, and that he must catch up with the enemy and attack him severely. The men and horses of the Jieli Department of the right battalion galloped over to help Ashina Sheer, and the Xizhou coalition army fought and walked, and was chased by Su Fa for more than 360 miles, and suddenly chased to the west bank of the Danhe River.
Fearing an enemy ambush, he ordered the pursuit to be halted. Someone reported to him the results of the battle, how much grain and grass he had gained, and how much baggage he had gained. Su Vah commanded, "The army will camp on the spot and cross the river tomorrow." ”
The direction of Yanqi on the east bank of the Danhe River was like a great enemy, and the camp outside the city was brightly lit all night, Su Huahaha laughed, "How did Gao Jun fiddle with tens of thousands of people and horses, did he think it was to release horses?" Tell me to go to Kangli City again and bring the 5,000 again, and tomorrow, we will succeed in the first battle!" "Someone was ordered to go.
Su Fa lay down to rest, wanting to recuperate, but he was a little excited, and he couldn't sleep for more than an hour, thinking that the person who would return to the city to move troops was estimated to have arrived.
Soon he heard the sound of hooves behind his battalion, and wondered how reinforcements had come so quickly. But at this time, there was a shout of killing, and someone hurriedly came in to report, "The king is not good, the Xizhou soldiers appeared behind the camp!" ”
He hurriedly dressed up and went out of the tent, and saw that at least two thousand Xizhou horse teams had rushed into the camp from behind, led by a Tang general who looked like a black tower, with a big iron rod, and no one could stop it at all.
At this time, the horn of the big camp in Xizhou on the other side of the Danhe River sounded, and the black shadow came to this side of the river. Nali ran over and said, "King, let's retreat quickly, I'm afraid it won't work if it's too late." Before he finished speaking, the Tang general had already discovered that it was the enemy commander here, and he turned his horse and rushed towards Su Va.
Su Va's subordinates had three or five men in a company who would meet him and block the man, but in the blink of an eye, he was smashed by the big black man and two under the horse. There are fires set by Xizhou people everywhere, and there are people in Kangli City who don't argue about the direction and rush around, they cry for their fathers and mothers, and they can't get back anymore. Su Va's eyes closed, and he said in his heart, "I've been tricked!" ”
Nari urged, "King, let's go!" ”
They opened a passage and led less than 2,000 people to the west, and the Xizhou men and horses behind them shouted and chased closely. Less than ten miles away, from the twilight of the dawn, I suddenly found that there were also two thousand people in front of me, in a neat row, and bright armor was waiting for them.
Guo Zhizhao raised his sword on his horse, and 2,000 regular cavalry from Liangzhou and Shanzhou, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, swept over like a row of waves.
Su Fa desperately led his men to attack, but he found that the big black man who had attacked them in the first group not far away was leading two thousand men past them to the west, which was to intercept their position.
Su Fa's men and horses had no intention of fighting, and then left a few hundred people to take the road, eager to step into the city of Kangli. Guo Zhizhao didn't chase hard, this was what Gao Jun had explained, they just had to chase them over like sheep.
By this time, Su Va's 5,000 men and horses had about 1,500 men left, and less than 40% of the way from Kangli City had run away. Guo Zhizhao and the follow-up men and horses that caught up with them bit them tightly, and they couldn't stop to catch their breath.
Running and running, suddenly there was a Xizhou horse team of 2,000 people, which was led by a person who was also a big man but with a white skin. This person is Zhai Zhining, who leads 2,000 people in Yazhou.
He was still a simple knife on his horse, dancing like snowflakes straight to Su Va. Someone stepped forward to block him, covering Su Va's way away. But then, the people of Kangli City who were stranded could no longer leave. A few hundred people were quickly drowned in the crowd of pursuing people.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and Su Fa looked at the 5,000 men and horses he brought out, and now there were only about 1,000 people left. The people of Xizhou behind him were overwhelming, and they were killing from afar. He gritted his teeth, and he couldn't vent his anger in his heart. But he didn't dare to stay long, Kangli City was far away.
He found that a detachment of men and horses was quickly welcoming them, thinking that he was expecting help, and there were also 2,000 of these people who did not carry flags, and soon someone exclaimed, "This is the people of Futu City!" ”
The people who came were the 2,000 people from Futu City, but it was not Ashina Sheer who led the team. Together with Guo Zhizhao, they also made a night detour from the upper reaches of the Danhe River. The heralds sent by Su Fa to Kangli City arrived at dawn and were captured, so it is no wonder that there was no movement in the city at all.
The two sides will inevitably have another scuffle, but Su Va's idea at this time is to get rid of these people as soon as possible and go to the city to find a way. The thousand men under his command had been running wild all night in great fear, and at this time there was no fighting spirit at all. No one listened to Su Va's command, and everyone only cared about fleeing for their lives, and most of them were killed in the wilderness.
Kangli finally saw Su Hua's flag in the city, and desperately opened the city to rescue. These Futu City people chased closely behind and chased them until they reached the foot of Kangli City, only a little bit, so that Su Fa brought less than 100 people into the city, and Su Va's other flag was also too cumbersome by the standard-bearer and thrown out of the city.
Subsequently, arrows rained down on the city of Kangli, and the men and horses outside the city did not rush to attack, but picked up the banner of Su Fa and retreated beyond the firing range. Subsequently, Xizhou Don't drive Gao Jun to lead the brigade, and the banner soldiers of "Tang Tianshan Mu" came to the city.
Su Fa couldn't take a break, but at this time, his heart was already slightly in his stomach. He climbed up to the top of the city and looked down, but saw the layers of people and horses under the city, and saw that the banners were Tianshan Mu, Yazhou, Shanzhou, Xizhou, Songzhou, and Liangzhou, and there was a flag that said "Thirteen Tribes of Tiele in Luntai County".
He gasped and genuinely looked for a cold shiver. There were still 5,000 men and horses in the city, but at this time, the morale was low, and the self-protection was acceptable, so they no longer dared to go out of the city to fight. He strictly ordered to keep an eye on the movement outside the city, and then come down to the city to study with Nari to move troops to the rear.
The grain, grass, and baggage that Ashina Sheer had thrown away earlier returned to Gao Jun's hands one by one. The people in the city didn't dare to come out, so they leaned on the battlement and shouted at the city, "There is a kind of attack, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you!" ”
Some of the coalition forces were angry, and they shot arrows at the city, which was strictly forbidden by the tall people. They re-established a series of large camps outside the land, and the walls were heavy, which made the people of the city very anxious.
At noon, another small convoy arrived in Yanqi, led by Shi Gaomin, the governor of Xizhou, but only Lirong and Su Shi came out of the city to greet him, with a few Xizhou soldiers.
Lirong and Su Shi were also mixed with the residents of Yanqi City last night, pretending to be a Xizhou coalition army, which made them a little scared, but extremely excited, and one of them raised a horn to blow.
They had never participated in such a large-scale operation. But Gao Jun solemnly reminded them that they should just play on the east side of the river, and they were definitely not allowed to go to the west of the river. When the battle started, he didn't have the time to protect them.
Gao Jun's men and horses included 2,000 from Yazhou and Songzhou, 2,000 from Liangzhou and Shanzhou, 2,002 from Luntai County, 4,000 from Futucheng, 4,000 from Jielibu, 800 from Xizhou, and 200 from the herding team, making a total of 15,002. He sent out 10,000 overnight, and Guo Zhizhao, Heida, Ashina Sheer, Zhai Zhining, Duoduo and others each took 2,000 to go out, and the east bank of the Danhe River was going to gain momentum, and even Lirong and Su also joined in.
Seeing Gao Min, Lirong asked, "Uncle, is it the siege and arson that the things have been transported?" ”
