Chapter 866: To the South, To the South
The endless Daqing Mountains lie in the north of Dingxiangtu City, a natural barrier that blocks the road from the front plain to the Dahou Mountain.
For thousands of years, it has become the focus of repeated contention between the northern nomads and the Han cultivators of the Central Plains.
The two sides opened up a winding ancient road on the Daqing Mountain, which was 90 miles long and called the White Road.
The land of the Hetao, the eastern part of which was called the Eilechuan during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was a land of abundance.
Its west side was also called Fengzhou Beach in the Sui period.
Luo succeeded or failed at the beginning of the Khan, many Turks fled to Mobei, and the Turks who stayed behind belonged to the Han family, and the heirs were in Dingxiang for several years, and they have been vigorously immigrating to reclaim the famine, build cities and set up tuns.
After a poet came to Biansai and saw the situation here, he wrote the orchard at the foot of Helan Mountain, and the old famous poem in the north and south of the Yangtze River.
However, Jieli's further southern invasion, especially Liu Wuzhou's sudden rebellion, caught Heiye off guard.
"If I hadn't led the main force on an expedition to Jiuyuan at that time, I wouldn't have let Dingxiang have this catastrophe!"
"King Jin, having said that, who would have expected that Jieli and Liu Wuzhou would make trouble at this time."
Barrack.
The soldiers are pulling out the camp.
The soldiers of the Dingxiang Xuanwu Army, who are flowing endlessly, are dressed in red military robes, and their arms are inlaid with bronze medals according to their ranks.
The Qin army pays attention to official ranks, and those with good grades have military ranks, while those with no grades have military ranks.
Above the head of the team there are military ranks, while below the head of the team there is no rank, so they are all awarded military ranks. In addition, the captain of each team is a corporal, the team leader is a private, the second class is a private who has served for more than two years, a third class soldier who has served for more than one year, and a private who has been newly recruited for less than one year.
At the time of the battle, each has a subordinate order, but if it is disrupted, then the command sequence is arranged according to the rank and rank of the soldiers, and the upper and lower levels are clearly determined.
The soldiers carried armor on their backs, wore large pants, tied their legs, and held weapons, and left the camp in an orderly manner.
The military flag fluttered, the neatly arranged soldiers began to sing the military song, and the military brother sounded and walked in an orderly manner.
In front of the camp gate.
Siye rode on his horse and looked at the soldiers.
"King Jin, our army is only 30,000 people, and now that the grain and grass are approaching, the resistance is not obeyed, and it is too risky to go west to fight 100,000 horses and horses."
"It's a risk, but it's worth it."
Luo Siye has his considerations, there is naturally no danger of going out of the plug at this time, but to go around to Xi Jing to borrow the road back to Fanyang, this circle has to go down more than 1,000 miles, he has been here for more than 30,000 miles for a long time, there is not much grain and grass, and this more than 1,000 miles of grain and grass is a big problem.
What's more, Luo Siye was even more unwilling to withdraw to Fan Yang.
Blood debts can only be paid in blood.
Jieli soldiers are strong and strong, he can't go hard for the time being, but to fight Chai Shao's 100,000 Tang army, Luo Siye feels that there is still a great opportunity.
There is mental arithmetic and no intention.
In addition, when Chai Shao came out of Jiuyuan County before, he had already left a lot of soldiers and horses there.
Then he encountered heavy rain and floods, and detoured halfway, originally he was going to meet Jieli under Dingxiang City, but if Jieli had already gone to Mayi, Chai Shao's soldiers and horses had not yet arrived in Dingxiang.
It's a good opportunity to stop.
"Report!"
"Report, the scout light cavalry has explored the position of Chai Shao's army, and his army has reached Jinhebo at the mouth of the Jinhe River, with a strength of about 80,000 people."
Heiye asked the servant of Hu'er to bring the map, and he looked at it for a while.
"It seems that Chai Shao's march is very slow, he has just arrived at the mouth of the Jinhe, and then it is estimated that he will march northeast along the Jinhe, and then go south through the mouth of the tiger to enter the Great Wall, and go to Yunnei to join Jieli."
He estimated the distance, and the white road was about one hundred and sixty miles away from Jinhebo.
"Order, adjust the route, the whole army will no longer go west, but south."
"To the south?"
········
To the south, to the south.
100 miles to the south, Dingxiang Dali City.
In the darkness of night, the Turks who remained in the city of Dali noticed that soldiers and horses were coming from the north.
The horns blew, and the remaining 5,000 Turkic troops woke up from their sleep, put on their armor and picked up their swords.
"Is it an enemy attack?"
"It looks like soldiers and horses are coming."
The Turks climbed the towers and went out of the city to the array of horses.
After a long time.
Finally someone came.
"I am the vanguard under the command of Chai Juma, the general of the Tang Dynasty Zuo Wuwei, and I came to tell you on the order of the horse, and my 100,000 Tang army has arrived!"
So saying, the knight galloped down to the city and offered a letter.
The Turkic generals who stayed in the city heard that it was Li Tang's soldiers and horses, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Luo Siye from the north had called.
"Check this letter carefully, don't be Luo Siye's fake it."
A Han man carefully examined it for a long time, and finally returned the letter to the Turkic general, "It is indeed a letter from Li Tang Chai Shao, and the seal on it is not a forgery." ”
"This Chai Shao, why did he only arrive now?"
He said that he encountered a sudden water on the road and had to take a detour, which delayed a lot of time. He also said that now that the military rations are approaching, he asked us to borrow some food from him first. ”
"The third watch came to borrow food in the middle of the night, it's really damn disturbing and good dreams, don't borrow it."
"General, no, after all, they are also friendly forces."
"Okay, then wait for Chai Shao to come."
It wasn't long before more men arrived, and they stopped in the distance.
A cavalryman carried the red and white flag of the Tang Army in front, followed by a cavalry of about two or three hundred people.
"The Tang Dynasty Zuo Wuwei General Qian Guogong Chai and his horse have arrived, please open the city gate."
The Turks in the city looked at it and yawned, "Open the city, damn it, it's really unlucky, come here at this time." ”
The gates of the city of Dali slowly opened.
The standard-bearers under the city took the lead in entering the city with the flag, and more than 200 horsemen followed into the city.
The Turks in the city yawned, thinking that they would close the gate again when they came in, and then they could find a place to meet again, but suddenly there was a sound of shouting and killing at the gate.
"The Tang Army is reversed!"
········
Shouts of killing came and went.
At the city gate, the Tang Dynasty Zuo Wuwei General Horse Commander Chai Shao, the Duke of the State of Chen, lifted his mask, but became the Great Qin Jin King Luo Siye, he waved his Mo knife, left and right, and successively cut down several unprepared Turkic soldiers guarding the gate.
More knights flanked him were already on the raid.
Many Turks were left with only one incomprehensible question before they died, why did the Tang army rebel?
A fire was lit at the north gate of Dali City, and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army in the distance north of the city finally waited for the order to attack.
"Kill!"
More than 30,000 soldiers of the Xuanwu Army rushed forward with blood feuds.
The Turks in Dali City still wanted to resist, but the city gate was breached, and the Qin army poured in in a steady stream, and the Turkic army was left behind by the ruthless harvesters of steel knives and spears.
Dawn.
The 5,000 Turkic soldiers and horses left behind were all annihilated.
More than 1,000 people were killed in one night, and more than 3,000 people were captured.
The bloodied heir sat on the gate tower of Dali City, facing the rising sun.
"Kill, don't leave a single one!"
