Chapter 171: Defeat after defeat
Yelusheng was defeated, led a small number of remnants, joined the main force behind, and immediately led 70,000 troops to kill the Li Kui and Linghu-Tibetan coalition forces.
Including Li Kui, Ling Huzang, and Murong Bowen, no one expected that Ye Lusheng would kill the horse gun, and the team that was rushing to the Black Flag Pass was caught off guard by the rear army.
Fortunately, Li Kui has experienced a hundred battles, and has many combat experiences with famous generals such as Zhang Yu and Liu Xuanyuan, and has rich combat experience, and the number of coalition forces also has an advantage.
Ye Lusheng led his troops to kill, Li Kui was not afraid of danger, immediately changed the offensive, and the rear army became the front army, and fought back against Ye Lusheng. Therefore, the battle only posed a considerable threat to the two armies in the early stage.
When Li Kui calmly commanded, the two armies relied on their numerical superiority and the will of the Rong tribe to survive in danger, and soon the 70,000 cavalry led by Yelusheng fell into a bitter battle.
In the face of 100,000 coalition troops, Yelusheng was newly defeated, and urgently needed to win the battle to turn the situation around, and did not flinch in the battle, leading the cavalry to rampage, hoping to make a hole in the coalition army and divide and annihilate the two armies.
It's a pity that Rao led the cavalry to charge, Li Kui and Ling Huzang always maintained a united front, cooperated with each other, rescued left and right, and for a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
Yelusheng knew that Linghu was capable, a calm general, and good at offense and defense.
Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, he rushed towards the Yan army with the main force, hoping that under the fierce charge of the cavalry, the Yan army, which did not have much combat effectiveness, would quickly rush up, causing the collapse of the two armies.
It's a pity that he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Yan army and underestimated Li Kui's toughness, and when the Yan army reversed the rout, he found that he could resist the opponent's cavalry. Morale was boosted.
What's more, Li Kui was rewarded for the battle, and ordered that whoever killed one enemy would be rewarded with a sheep. Kill the chief and reward two sheep, centurion, thousand, ten taels of silver, one hundred taels.
There are no white-faced buns in the Black Flag Pass, but cattle, sheep and horses are everywhere, and Li Kui does not dare to abolish the 50,000 cavalry under his command. Only by being ruthless,
"The general has an order, no matter who the two armies are, kill one enemy.
Reward a sheep. Kill the captain and get doubled, kill the centurion, the thousand, and reward the tattoo with ten taels of silver. One hundred taels! "Li Kui's own soldiers are like hyacinths. Horses were scattered among the troops, running back and forth, shouting loudly.
"Sheep! Silver? "The Yan army knows that the imperial court has always rewarded the enemy for meritorious service, especially those veterans who once accompanied Li Kui to fight in northern Jin, and they have benefited a lot, not only to improve their status. And get a lot of rewards.
At this moment, I heard Li Kui's pro-soldier propaganda. There seemed to be a spark in his eyes, he clutched the reins tightly, held the ring hand knife, and without the slightest hesitation, like a torrent, rushed forward.
All the coalition troops subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and the Rong people who were in dire straits seemed to see hope.
Those recruits also knew in advance that Yan Guo had a military merit system, but at this moment, seeing those veterans, like crazy, rushed forward, and immediately realized that this was a good time to make meritorious contributions, and did not hesitate, and hurriedly rode their horses to follow.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention killing one person, rewarding a sheep, in the Black Flag Pass, a sheep, can be exchanged for half a month's food and clothing expenses for a family of five.
At this time, the more enemies you kill, the more rewards you will get, and you may even be promoted. If you are lucky enough to cut the other party, centurion, thousand-year-on-thousand, or general, tsk, you will make a lot of money.
In an instant, in the eyes of the two armies, the fierce cavalry under the command of Yelusheng was no longer in front of him, but like a flock of lambs running around.
Killing, the recruits may still be afraid, saying that killing sheep, these people who live outside the plug, but they are very skilled, for the glory and wealth, for the honor and status, the Yan army, the Rong army, the one in his eyes is not greedy.
Because of Li Kui's wit in battle, a word of reward, the stalemate in the battle situation was quietly changed under the wild attack of the Yan army like a man.
Yan Guo was not afraid of danger, did not avoid casualties, and stepped forward one after another, bravely killing the enemy, for a time, Yelusheng commanded 70,000 troops, and was forced to retreat again and again. The Yan army and the Rong cavalry, the numerical advantage was immediately highlighted, attacking head-on and outflanking at the same time, as if they were ready to eat the lambs all over the mountains in one go.
Several charges failed, and the cavalry under his command faintly showed signs of being surrounded, Yelusheng's expression changed greatly, and the Yan army and the Rong troops who felt at first were not strong in combat, and the other was forced to flee in embarrassment, and there would not be much combat effectiveness.
Even if the two armies rely on each other and act as horns for each other, as long as they break through the Yan army and separate the two armies, then the cavalry in front of them will all become the objects to be slaughtered.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and today the lamb has also turned into a hungry wolf, fighting, more ruthless, more poisonous, and killing people when they come out of the knife. The two armies merged and had a numerical advantage, but Yelusheng did not dare to stay for a long time, fearing that if he did not retreat, the army would fall into siege and regret it too late.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" Ye Lusheng shouted unwillingly.
The duck to the beak flew, which was a humiliation for him!
The defeat of the army is like a mountain, and retreating before the battle is a taboo for soldiers, not to mention that the two armies are attacking fiercely, and no one wants to miss the opportunity to make money.
The retreat of the troops completely stimulated the murderous nature of the two armies, and they immediately pursued them relentlessly. Yelu Sheng looked at it, and immediately beat his chest angrily, regretting it.
What's even worse is that among the Rong troops, hundreds of wolf riders rushed out, all dressed in blood-colored red, interspersed in the middle of the troops, and rushed over quickly.
"Traitor, Jereshin, suffer death!" Linghu Zang held a scimitar and rode on a horse to burst into drinks.
It's no wonder that Yelusheng is afraid, just because Linghu Zang will lead a hundred people, and the blood-clothed wolf ride of the Nairong clan was once specially set up to hunt down traitors, and he will never die!
.....
Thirty miles away from the battlefield, Yelu Tiemeng's Chinese army tent, 50,000 cavalry were left behind, and at this moment, they were continuously disturbed by the rain of arrows led by Liu Xuanyuan, 30,000 fine cavalry.
Since Liu Xuanyuan paid attention to the Rong tribe, he divided his troops into two places, one of which lurked near the Rong camp, and rescued the Rong tribe at any time. In another place, 30,000 elite troops, led by him personally, when the two sides started a war, they pinned down Murong Tiemeng's troops and prevented the troops led by Li Kui and Linghu Zang from falling into a heavy encirclement.
When Li Kui led the army to attack, Liu Xuanyuan directly led his troops to attack the Yelu Tiemeng camp, and after launching two waves of fierce attacks from the east, he sent cavalry to form an arrow array to suppress the opponent to the death, and buy time for Li Kui and others.
Yelu Tiemeng and Liu Xuanyuan have fought many times, they can be regarded as old opponents, and the two sides understand each other's tactics, but unfortunately, Liu Xuanyuan has been in Black Flag Pass for four years, and the two have fought more than ten battles, and Yelu Tiemeng will lose every battle.
Last winter, the 300,000 soldiers of the Rong tribe came to the Black Flag Pass, and that time was the most likely opportunity for Yelu Tiemeng to defeat Liu Xuanyuan, but unfortunately the war ended, he still failed to break through the Black Flag Pass, but lost his troops and lost more than 30,000 lives.
This time, Liu Xuanyuan's relatives led the cavalry out of the Black Flag Pass, and in order to defeat him, Tielu Tiemeng did not hesitate to use the five Donghu cavalry under his hands as bait to attract Liu Xuanyuan and wait for Yelusheng to lead the troops back to help.
The two sides joined forces and defeated Liu Xuanyuan in a flanking attack.
However, last winter, during the Battle of Black Flag Pass, Liu Xuanyuan led tens of thousands of remnants of the army to defeat the Rong army attacking the city in a defensive position, and finally, when the reinforcements arrived, they reversed the defeat and turned defeat into victory.
When the Yan army's arrow array attacked, the Donghu cavalry did not dare to advance at all, not to mention that the other party chose the terrain cleverly and condescendingly, and the cavalry rushed up, fearing that the moths would fight the fire and kill themselves.
In Yelu Tiemeng's place, he carefully implemented the plan, waited for Yelu Sheng to annihilate Linghu Zang to return to the Chinese army, and then completed the siege of the Yan army.
If he can't defeat Liu Xuanyuan, he will inevitably lose his troops and lose his morale, and he will be relieved to go to Xishan and give a deal to Borshu.
It's a pity that Yelu Tiemeng wasted time, waiting for not the good news of victory, but on the contrary, he witnessed tens of thousands of remnants of soldiers returning with Yelu Sheng's corpse to restore his life.
Hopes were shattered, and it was difficult to give advice to Borshu, and Jelut was annoyed and ashamed.
"What the hell is going on? Is Yelusheng a pig, a surprise attack, an internal and external attack, and he can still be defeated and killed! Jerodemon was furious and took the case.
"Will. Checkmate! "The surviving commander trembled in the face of the general's anger and did not know how to explain it.
"Say, what the hell is going on?" Rao is Yelu Tiemeng has experienced a hundred battles, and he is not shocked by the honor and disgrace, but this time he is really angry, 100,000 cavalry should join forces with the outside, attack the Rong tribe, no matter who leads the troops, they are all hand-to-hand, and they won a complete victory, Yelu Sheng is his favorite general, known as a prestige, how can the army be defeated!
"Will. General, things should have gone well, and our army should be united with the outside, causing the Linghu Zang tribe to flee in a hurry! Who knows, who knows, the Yan army planted an ambush halfway, and the deputy general Yelu was not on guard, so it failed. Later, later, General Linghu led the blood-clothed wolf to ride and kill the rebellion, and General Yelu died. The commander stammered, feeling that he was very aggrieved.
"Yan Jun, it's Liu Xuanyuan again." The heavy fist slammed on the desk, and Yelu Tiemeng shouted angrily: "This bastard, the ghost is not gone, and he is my enemy everywhere. ”
After calming down for a moment, Tie Meng seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly raised his head and asked the commander: "How many troops are left?" This is his greatest concern, if he loses this battle, he will inevitably be punished by Borshu, and if he wants to survive in Donghu, he must have a strong army in his hands.
As long as there are strong enough troops, if he fails, there is still a chance to make a comeback, if there are no strong troops, after today, he will be a lost dog.
"There are only more than fifty thousand left, including three thousand seriously wounded cavalry." The commander shrunk his neck, pursed the corners of his dry mouth, and replied in a low voice, for fear that his words would annoy Tie Meng and invite him to kill.
"Rubb, shit, all fucking shit!" Tiemeng walked back and forth in the tent, roaring incessantly, slashing with a scimitar in his hand, impulsively wanting to kill. 100,000 people, all his family resources, all of them were wiped out. "How did I raise you bunch of shit?"
Seeing Tiemeng's anger, the commander suddenly broke into a cold sweat, fearing that his life would not be guaranteed, so he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"Why are you still there, get out!" Distraught, Tiemeng scolded at the commander.
"Yes!"
Tie Meng sat on the cold ground, listless, the plan to annex the Rong clan failed, and there was no point in continuing to stalemate with Liu Xuanyuan, so he had to think about it in the long term and make another plan.
