Chapter 437: Funi sues for peace

Since the 20,000 Tang army entered the Nahe Plain from the mountain pass in the middle of the Wanda Mountain, the front of the army reached Yashan City, the throat of the eastern capital of Funi.

Nuo Jiao was unable to sleep and eat in the city of Fune, and urgently summoned a group of fierce soldiers from the country to quickly come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy.

Although he defeated the Tang army Cheng Boxian last time, he killed a Tang general's first-level head Baishan Heishuijian, and established the country with the power of a great victory, summoned all the tribes to join the alliance, attracted many small tribes in the mountains and forests to come and defect, and obtained 2,000 elite soldiers from the four divisions of Su Mo and Jin.

The country now has more than 40,000 people, more than 13,000 soldiers who can fight, 3,000 soldiers and horses who have been removed to reinforce Dusk Ridge City, and there are 10,000 soldiers and horses that can still be used in the hands of Nuo Gejiao.

Although the Tang army is twice as large, it stands to reason that it can also have the strength to fight, why is Nuo Gejiao so frightened and has no heart to win?

In fact, two days ago, Nuo Gejiao went to meet the battle, and watched the Tang Army's military appearance neat, the orderly march between the various departments, and the military majesty, far from being the birds, birds, insects, and fish out of the cage in the marching charge, and the chaotic Funi army like a swarm of bees.

What is even more terrifying is that most of the Tang army is a standard black color iron armor, and the bright soldiers are even more terrifying, and the soldiers who are not wearing iron armor are also wearing black cowhide armor.

In order to test whether the Tang army was a silver spear wax head, two thousand elite cavalry with flexible movements were specially ordered to attack the Tang army's forward foot soldiers.

Before he thought that the Fune cavalry was still 300 steps away from the Tang army, he was shot head-on by the Tang army's Fuyuan crossbow, which had the longest range of individual fire, and immediately fell hundreds of cavalry. When the distance between the two sides was reduced to 200 paces, crossbows and single-bow crossbows were also added to the firing range, and before the Fune cavalry could engage the Tang army, more than 300 horsemen were killed and wounded under the crossbow arrows that came from the sky with great penetrating power and long range.

When approaching the Tang army's formation, the Tang army's pikemen formed a column of spears with spears, forcing the Fune cavalry to dare not catch their edge, while the crossbowmen continued to shoot the Fune cavalry under the cover of pikemen.

Although the Fune cavalry counterattacked with bows and arrows, it was not as good as infantry archery in cavalry, not to mention that the bows of the Funie people were not as good as the Tang army in terms of range and arrow penetration, and they were defeated when they fired at each other.

When the cavalry of the Tang Army came from the flank, Nuo Gejiao, who was unfavorable in the initial battle, had to order the whole army to retreat.

In just a tentative attack, Nuo Gejiao lost more than 700 elite cavalry, on the other hand, the Tang army's infantry armor protection was strong, and the casualties were only dozens of people, which really made him full of worries about defeating the 20,000 Tang troops who came to attack.

Seeing that Shangmuro Chengding came back, Nuo Gejiao seemed to grasp the backbone of the heart, and hurriedly asked: "Is the fourth department of Su Mo Yan willing to send troops to help me attack the rear of the Tang army?" ”

Shangmuro Chengding shook his head, and replied with disappointment: "The envoy sent back to say that although the four divisions of Su Mo Yan are not satisfied with the Tang Dynasty, they are not willing to fight with them. The 2,000 soldiers and horses of the four tribes who joined the alliance were given to Bo Jilie as people who betrayed the tribe. ”

"Oh no, Bo Jilie, the Tang army is besieging Yashan City, and Yashan Meng'an is asking for reinforcements."

The sentinels hurried into the main hall that was now used as the Imperial Assembly of the Funi Kingdom.

"Yashan is besieged, and with the Tang army's siege ability, it is estimated that it will not be able to hold it for a few days."

"It's just that the warriors of the three thousand tribes in the city are afraid that they will become the souls of the Tang saber."

The people in the temple were worried.

Nuo Jiao, the upper room Chengding's face is difficult to see the extreme, the city of Yashan is broken, and the city of Funie cannot be defended. The country of Funi, which was founded for just over a month, was destroyed by the Tang army, and in the future it will become a joke of all tribes in the white mountains and black waters. Since then, it will be difficult to attract people from all tribes to come and defect, how can we talk about the country of Funi dominating the white mountains and black waters?

Shangmuro Cheng thought about it and came up with a solution that was not a solution, "Bo Jilie, let's just negotiate peace, right?" ”

"Peace?"

Not only was Nuo Jiao shocked, but the Meng'an and Mouke people also looked at the upper room with stunned faces.

"At the beginning, the loudest anti-Tang was that you went to the room to make a decision, and now it is you who is proposing peace. When you see that the situation is not right, you immediately let us abandon our swords and guns to bow down to the Tang people, and grovel to beg for mercy. ”

……

"Peace?"

Li Yu looked at the envoy who was kneeling in the tent in surprise and asked for peace with an extremely humble and obedient attitude, and said: "You Funi people have killed a lot of our Tang soldiers and civilians, and also beheaded the heads of our army Cui Duwei, the heads of the Baishan and Heishui tribes, and humiliated our country. The majestic and domineering posture of showing off the martial arts really surprised me very much, where did you Funi people have the strength to resist the revenge of this king? ”

The grievance in the heart of the envoy of Funi, at the beginning, we Funi people have lived in the area of Meituo Lake for generations, and it was you Tang people who took the lead in attacking us, robbing us of our land and driving us north. After a few years of hardship, it was not easy to gain a firm foothold in the area of the river, but it was your Tang army who violated the border and was forced to fight back. The soldiers and civilians of the Tang State who were killed before and after would not exceed 1,000 people, on the other hand, they would behead thousands of people at every turn.

The envoys of Funi held back the humiliation in their hearts, and expressed the price they were willing to pay for peace: "His Royal Highness King Yan, the conqueror of the great White Mountain and Heishui Tribes, I, Funi, am willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation from today, and request canonization as an internal fan, so as to guard the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty and prevent foreign invasions from entering the territory......"

Li Yu smiled, sneered at the small price that the country was willing to pay for peace, and sneered: "Does our country need you people to guard the northern frontier?" In the north of Anton, apart from you Funi people, what other tribe and tribe openly raised troops to attack our army? In my opinion, you people will not be at ease when they raise an army. ”

"Yes."

Seeing that Li Yu didn't want to agree to their request for peace, the envoys of the Funi were also relieved, "The strength of the four divisions of Su Mo is strong, and the four victorious troops together are more than two to three times that of our Funi people, they have always been disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, and they are constantly making small moves behind their backs. We, the Funi people, were able to rise from a small barbarian tribe with a scarce iron capital and a small population to a large part of the white mountains and black waters in four or five years, and the support given to us by the four tribes of the Su Mo and the Evil Sect was indispensable. In the past few years, although we have not responded to our needs, they have been very generous in their needs to strengthen us. He also bought mountain ginseng, deer antlers, leather and other mountain goods from our Funi people at a high price, in exchange for the urgently needed iron tools, grain seeds, and methods of farming, prospecting and smelting. When we convened the alliance of all the tribes, only the four divisions of Su Mo Jing responded positively, and each sent 500 warriors to enter our country as the alliance army to listen to the ......"

In order to sue for peace, the envoys poured out the details of the four parts of the Su Mo Yan Ya that they knew, which surprised Li Yu and his generals and was even more resentful.

I didn't think that there were four vicious wolves living next to the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and seeing that the tiger of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate was too strong to bite off the meat, he deliberately cultivated the mad dog of the Funi people to consume the strength of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, and hid behind his back to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
