Chapter 365: Someone Can't Hold On

Because at the beginning of the alliance between the ten nomadic tribes, it was agreed that if any of the tribes retreated in the process of crusading against the Great Jin Dove, they would no longer have the right to distribute the spoils. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, the Great Khan of the Rouran clan weighed it for a long time, and finally did not lead 40,000 Rouran cavalry to withdraw from the coalition army, but only sent Huhelu, the right sage king of Rouran, to return to the territory of the Rouran tribe with hundreds of cavalry, so that the various Rouran tribes, including the Rouran royal court, immediately entered the highest state of alert, and guarded against the cavalry of the Juan army that captured the Dangxiang Wangting and invaded the territory of the Rouran tribe.

The Great Khan of the Dangxiang tribe, Sehelai, with 70,000 Dangxiang cavalry, left the coalition camp early in the morning of May 12, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, and galloped all the way to the territory of the Dangxiang tribe.

Although the 70,000 Dangxiang cavalry left, the Dangxiang clan did not withdraw from the Ten Clans Alliance, after all, the Great Khan of the Dangxiang clan, Sehelai, led his troops back to the territory of the Dangxiang clan this time in order to recapture the Dangxiang royal court from the cavalry of the Dang'an Army, and he was still fighting against the Hawk'an Army.

For the Rouran clan Khan Mu Gulu did not lead the troops to leave in the end, as the leader of the alliance of the Khitan right king Yeluqi, can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, there is the first one may appear the second, 70,000 party cavalry will definitely leave, if the 40,000 Rouran cavalry also left, then the chain reaction will be bigger and bigger, and the other clans may also have people who will jump out to withdraw their troops.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Yeluqi hoped to defeat the main force of the Jue'an army here in Qishankou as soon as possible, but the Hu coalition army attacked for four more days, but still did not defeat the opposite tortoiseshell army, and the total strength of the Hu coalition army has also dropped to 870,000, and in these four days, the Hu coalition army suffered 200,000 casualties.

The Ju'an army also suffered nearly 80,000 casualties in four days, of which 60,000 were infantry, and only more than 20,000 cavalry, thanks to Liu Ji's adoption of Le Yi's suggestion, from the twelve new infantry battalions, a large number of soldiers were transferred to supplement the seven old battalions of Le Yi, Gao Shun, Li Xin, Mengwu, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, and Zhang Guiben.

The twelve new infantry battalions have not fought again in these four days, and have directly become the supplementary battalions of the seven old battalions, and the captains of the twelve new infantry battalions understand very well, after all, in this way they can give full play to the maximum combat power of the seven old battalions, and their twelve new infantry battalions, in the face of the crazy attack of the Hu cavalry of all ethnic groups, are still a little immature, if it were not for the response of the cavalry units of the Ju'an Army, the bloody battle in the first ten days, maybe several new infantry battalions would be completely defeated by the Hu cavalry.

On the evening of 12 May, after the infantry battalions of the Hawkshire Army withdrew to the camp next to the Qishan Pass, the officers of the infantry battalions did not immediately rest and eat, but immediately began to receive soldiers from the 12 new infantry battalions.

Liu Datou, who was covered with blood on his iron armor and helmet, came to his commander, "Brother Lu, my brother, I killed four more people in the battle today, and the only commander is gone." ”

Liu Datou reported the losses to Lu Ke, the leader of the team, so that he could receive the soldiers who had been replenished from the twelve new infantry battalions.

At this time, Lu Ke, the leader of the team, sighed and said to Liu Datou: "Datou, our tun chief died in battle today. ”

Liu Datou said gloomily: "I have seen it, the battle formation was knocked open by the grassland cavalry, if it wasn't for the tun chief and people to sacrifice their lives to plug the gap, maybe our entire tun brothers would have been killed." ”

After Liu Datou and the team leader Lu Ke were sad for a moment, the team leader Lu Ke continued: "Now that the military marquis has appointed me as the commander of the tun, I am ready for you to take over the position of the team leader." ”

When Liu Datou heard this, he was shocked, "Brother Lu, I have only been the chief for a few days, let me be the team leader now, can I do it?" ”

Lu Ke patted Liu Datou on the shoulder and said: "There is nothing that can't be done, now there are few old people in our tun, you just don't want to be this team leader, you have to be right, except for you Liu Datou, there is no one in my hands to use." ”

Liu Datou couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, in the Jue'an army, the team rate has a military salary of ten taels of silver every month, "Since Brother Lu looks up to me Liu Datou, I will definitely not live up to Brother Lu's cultivation, as long as Brother Lu orders in the future, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me, I Liu Datou will be able to do it." ”

Lu Ke was very satisfied with Liu Datou's attitude, "This time the Hu people coalition army has lost almost 500,000 or 600,000 people here in Qishankou, I listen to the meaning of the military marquis, such a bloody battle, the Hu people coalition army should not last long, in the next few days, you have to behave well, bring the whole team well, don't embarrass your brother Lu." ”

Liu Datou patted his chest and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry, I, Liu Datou, will never embarrass Brother Lu!" ”

After Liu Datou was promoted to the leader of the team, he immediately gathered the five Shi under his command together, and after a day of bloody fighting, there were only 27 people left in the team under Liu Datou, including three Shi Commanders and five Wu Commanders, and 19 soldiers.

Liu Datou directly promoted a captain to a chief, and selected six people from among the soldiers, all of whom were appointed as captains, so that Liu Datou commanded five chiefs, there were four chiefs and ten chiefs, and only one chief was missing in the establishment, and this chief, Liu Datou was ready to take on the same role himself, and after his good brother Zhang Minghui recovered from his injury, he handed over the position of chief to Zhang Minghui.

Then Liu Datou went to receive the twenty-seven soldiers who had been replenished from the twelve new infantry battalions, so that Liu Datou's team had four commanders, ten captains, and forty soldiers, which was almost equivalent to a full number.

The twenty-seven soldiers who were added over were not only Jin people, but also people from several countries in the Western Regions, and even Gaochang people, Liu Datou specially gathered these twenty-seven soldiers together before assigning these twenty-seven soldiers to five under his command, and then said loudly: "Brothers, you should be able to see that I, Liu Datou, am also from the Western Regions, I can tell you that I, Liu Datou, was originally a ten-captain of Zhuqi's country, but now I am a team leader of the Ju'an Army!" When I was the commander of the Ten Masters of Zhuqiguo, I couldn't even get a tael of silver every month, but I now have ten taels of military pay every month, which is not counting the reward for military exploits, and since the start of the war here in Qishankou, to today, a total of 14 days, my Liu Datou has received more than 150 taels of silver! ”

Hearing that Liu Datou's reward for the past fourteen days exceeded one hundred and fifty taels, the twenty-seven soldiers who had newly joined the team couldn't help but show envious eyes, one hundred and fifty taels is already a huge amount of money for ordinary people, whether it is in the Western Regions or in the Great Jin, they can buy a family business.

Liu Datou continued: "What I want to tell you is that no matter who you were before, since you have entered our Jue'an Army and our Yizi Battalion, then you will have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune!" As long as you fight bravely on the battlefield, you will have all these things, silver, women, and official positions! Do you want to be promoted and make a fortune? ”

"Yesβ€”" shouted the twenty-seven soldiers in unison.

Liu Datou nodded with satisfaction, "Tomorrow our Yizi battalion may play early in the morning, so we must hurry up and familiarize ourselves with the formation of our entire team in the battle formation. ”

In the felt bag of Yeluqi, the Khitan Right Rite King in the camp of the grassland coalition army, the faces of the great khans and sect kings of the coalition army were all solemn, and the great Khan Min Gray asked Yeluqi in a deep voice: "Alliance leader, you said four days ago that the elite infantry of the Ju'an army here in Qishankou has been almost consumed by us, and the remaining rabble newly recruited by the Ju'an army is impossible to resist the cavalry of our coalition army, but four days have passed, and the Ju'an army still uses infantry battle formations to keep our cavalry of all ethnic groups out of Qishan Pass, Ben Da Khan gathered 250,000 Lou Fu cavalry this time, and now there are a little more than 140,000 left, how can such a battle be fought! ”

The Great Khan of the Donghu Clan, Ithhag, continued: "Alliance leader, it's not the same thing for us to continue fighting like this! We have 100,000 Donghu cavalry, and now there are only more than 60,000 people, how many lives will our various clans lose here here in Qishan Pass! ”

After many days of bloody battles, coupled with the great losses of all ethnic groups, the Great Khan of many ethnic groups retreated in their hearts, and this Great Jin Dove Tiger was too fierce, as high as 1.56 million cavalry of all ethnic groups, and now it was wiped out by a small half of the Great Jin Dove Tiger's army, such a big loss, all ethnic groups really couldn't stand it.

Yeluqi's face was also very ugly at this time, his father sent 400,000 Khitan cavalry to himself, plus the 80,000 elite cavalry he led before, that is, 480,000 people, but now 480,000 Khitan cavalry, after many days of bloody battles, only 310,000 remained, in addition to a few thousand seriously wounded, there are nearly 170,000 Khitan warriors, leaving their lives on this grassland north of Qishan Pass.

Yeluqi said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the bloody battles of these days, the losses of our Khitan warriors are the greatest, plus today's losses, almost 170,000 Khitan warriors have been killed, are our clans paying such a big price, do they have to give up halfway?" ”

Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha sighed at this time and said: "Alliance leader, these days in the bloody battle here in Qishankou, there is no clan who is not desperate, but looking at the situation of the Ju'an army on the other side, they seem to be able to hold out for a while, and our clans are really a little unable to hold on, Ben Da Khan feels, should we give up the idea of annihilating the main force of the Ju'an army here in Qishankou?" ”

Yeluqi frowned and asked, "So does Shurha have any better plans?" ”

Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha shrugged his shoulders and said: "Ben Da Khan doesn't have any better plans, but it is really not a way to continue to fight so hard. ”

Rouran Youxian King Huhelu, Shatuo Great Khan Xie Zhiyi, and Ding Ling Great Khan Chaganlar also expressed that they did not want the entire coalition army to continue to fight like this.

You must know that the plan to annihilate the main force of the Ju'an army here in Qishankou was originally proposed by Yeluqi, and now the Great Khan of these tribes is unwilling to continue to fight here in Qishankou, which is equivalent to beginning to question Yeluqi, the leader of the alliance.

Among the various ethnic groups, only Ai Keji, the Great Khan of the White Tanning Tribe, and Qing Geditai, the Great Khan of the Limo Tribe, who were close to the Khitan people, did not speak at this time.

At present, the coalition army still has cavalry troops of nine tribes here in Qishankou, and the strength that can continue to fight includes 310,000 Khitans, 140,000 Loufu, 120,000 Wuheng, 30,000 Shatuo, 40,000 Dingling, 30,000 Rouran, 60,000 Donghu, 70,000 Baitan, and 70,000 Limo.

Seeing that the Great Khan of the six clans all proposed that they didn't want to continue to fight here in Qishankou, Yeluqi suddenly said with some annoyance: "You don't want to continue fighting, and there is no better way, so what should our entire coalition army do?" Break up directly? ”

Lou Fu Da Khan Min Gray immediately said: "Ben Da Khan looks, if you continue to fight so hard, it is better to break up!" ”

Yeluqi snorted coldly and said to Lou Fu Great Khan Min Gray: "Min Gray Great Khan, if you Lou Fu clan don't want to share the huge wealth in Yin City, you Lou Fu clan can completely withdraw from the coalition army. ”

Lou Fu Great Khan Min Gray suddenly stood up and said coldly to Yeluqi: "Since the alliance leader has said everything, then this Great Khan will also find out!" Our Lou Fu tribe is indeed ready to withdraw from the Ten Tribes Alliance, and now our Lou Fu tribe has lost 110,000 cavalry, which has caused the dissatisfaction of our Lou Fu tribal generals, the Great Khan must respect the opinions of the tribal generals, so he can only choose to withdraw from the Ten Tribes Alliance, I'm sorry, tomorrow morning, the remaining 140,000 cavalry of our Lou Fu tribe will be evacuated here. ”

It seems that before this meeting, the Lou Fu clan had already decided to withdraw from the alliance, and if the Great Khan Min Gray announced his withdrawal from the alliance, the three kings of the Lou Fu clan in the felt bag, the Zuoxian King Maurer, the Zuoyi King Haoburi and the Right Yi King Sterlen, did not have any surprised looks.

These three sect kings of the Lou Fu clan immediately stood up and followed the Lou Fu Great Khan Min Gray out of the felt bag of Yeluqi, the Khitan Right Rite King.

After Lou Fu Da Khan Min Gray and the three Lou Fu Sect kings left, Yeluqi's face became extremely ugly, and because of anger, the green tendons on Yeluqi's head were tensed.

This time, the organization of the alliance of the ten clans to crusade against the Great Jin Dove Tiger Liu Ji is no longer as simple as revenge for Yeluqi, whether he can successfully defeat Liu Ji's tortoise army, to a certain extent, will affect Yeluqi to inherit the next Khitan Khan, Lou Fu clan retreats from the alliance at this time, it is likely to make the entire coalition army collapse, and the impact on Yeluqi will be great!
