Chapter 236: Facing the Khitan Army

Knowing that the Uighurs had fully agreed to the three conditions put forward by Liu Ji, the ten cavalry battalions of the Ju'an Army, which had greeted the remnants of the Uighur army and herdsmen on the steppe, and a huge phalanx of more than 100,000 cavalry, slowly cracked through the middle, revealing a passage of about fifty paces.

Immediately, the remnants of the Uighur army and herdsmen passed quickly through the formation of 100,000 cavalry of the Ju'an army, and the Uighur Great Khan Kurban, with the Youxian King Shamushak and a dozen Uighur army generals, came to the front of Su Lie, Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai, and Huaxiong, and the other six cavalry captains were in the cavalry phalanx at this time.

It turned out that the Uighur envoy sent to Chengyin City followed the Uighur Great Khan Kurban and introduced the two sides to each other: "General Su, this is our Uighur Great Khan!" The Great Khan, this is General Su Lie under General Liu Ji, and he is the commander of the cavalry of the 100,000 Ju'an Army here! ”

The Uighur Great Khan Kurban rode on his horse and said with a smile: "The name of this Great Khan is Kurban, General Su Lie, and I am glad to meet you!" ”

Su Lie also rode on his horse and said with a smile: "Su Lie, the commander under the command of General Liu Ji, has seen the Kurban Khan, and asked the Kurban Khan to lead the team to continue to advance in the southwest direction, my lord has sent people to prepare a large amount of food ten miles away, enough for 130,000 people to eat for two days, and as for the Khitan pursuers, they will be blocked by the 100,000 cavalry of our Ju'an army." ”

Hearing that Su Lie was just a lieutenant under Liu Ji, the surprised expression of the Uighur Great Khan Kurban flashed, Kurban knew the military system of the Jin State very well, and knew that the Du Lieutenant was only a deputy general of a partial general, and had not yet reached the rank of a general, and the soldiers that a partial general of the Jin State could lead were about 3,000 people, but the commander named Su Lie in front of him could command 100,000 cavalry, what was the situation?

Then he heard Su Lie say that ten miles ahead, Liu Ji had sent people to prepare food for 130,000 people for two days, Kurban couldn't help but smile bitterly, now there are only 37,000 people left in the entire Uighur army, and the rest of the old and young women and children are only more than 78,000 people, and the entire Uighur people are all combined, which is more than 115,000 people, compared with the total population before the war with the Khitans, more than half of them have been lost.

The Uighur Khan Kurban nodded to Su Lie and said: "Thank you General Liu Ji for thinking so thoroughly, according to the information we sent scouts to bring back, the Khitan people are chasing us more than 100,000 cavalry, and there are only dozens of miles away from here, and this Great Khan is willing to lead our Uighur cavalry to meet the enemy together with General Liu Ji's cavalry!" ”

Su Lie exchanged glances with Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai, and Hua Xiong beside him, and then said to the Uighur Khan Kurban with a smile: "Now that the Khitan chasing army is approaching, Su Lie will not be polite to the Kurban Khan, please select 20,000 Uighur cavalry as soon as possible, and prepare to cooperate with the 100,000 cavalry of the Uighur army here to meet the pursuing Khitan army!" ”

After a pause, Su Lie continued: "Kurban Khan, there is one thing that must be explained first, this battle is commanded by Su, please Kurban Khan act according to Su's orders, otherwise Su will only be offended, after all, military law is ruthless!" ”

The Uighur Khan Kurban nodded solemnly and said, "Rest assured, this battle is the Great Khan and our Uighur cavalry, and only the orders of the Sudu Lieutenant are obeyed!" ”

At noon on September 4, 426, the 100,000 cavalry of the Ju'an army and the 20,000 cavalry of the Uighur tribe had just had lunch, when the Khitan pursuers appeared.

Yelu Amu, the Khitan right letter king, had already learned from the Khitan scouts that the general named Liu Ji of the Jin State had not only taken in the remnants of the Uighur army into the pastures under his control, but also gathered at least 100,000 cavalry, and joined forces with the tens of thousands of remnants of the Uighur cavalry, preparing to meet the Khitan army under his command, and he couldn't help but be furious.

Liu Ji's move is tantamount to beating the face of the Khitan tribe, and Yelu Amu, the king of the Khitan right letter, is determined to teach the Jin general who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the sky, don't think that if you defeat a group of rabble on the grassland, you dare to challenge the tiger power of the Khitan tribe!

Yelu Amu's eldest son, Yelu Bayi, saw the orderly cavalry of the Ju'an army on the opposite side, and couldn't help but say to Yelu Amu, the king of Youxin, with some concern: "Father, that Great Jin Jiuhu has gathered at least 100,000 cavalry here, plus tens of thousands of Uighur cavalry, has surpassed us in terms of strength, do you want to give up the pursuit of the Uighurs, after all, with the soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Jiuhu, it is impossible for us to exterminate the Uighurs." ”

At this time, Yelu Amu's second son, Yelu Chagan, also urged his horse to come to Yelu Amu's side and said: "Father, what the eldest brother said is reasonable, my father's army has already lost more than 25,000 men in the previous battle with the Uighurs and in the pursuit of the Uighurs. ”

Yelu Amu's third son, Yelu Menghe, also persuaded: "Father, now it can be regarded as a sideline, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Dove Tiger have also been added to this whirlpool, which we did not expect before, so that even if we return to the Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie, we also have a rhetoric, and the Great Khan will have no reason to accuse my father of anything, after all, what the Great Khan said is not good, and there are still people on the grassland who have jumped out to help the Uighurs!" ”

There are more than a dozen sons of Yelu Amu, the Khitan right letter king, and there are five who have reached adulthood, and this expedition to Yelu Amu only brought three of their sons, and these three sons are very outstanding in both martial arts and resourcefulness, which is also one of the reasons why the Khitan Khan Yelu Enemy Lie has some scruples about the right letter king Yelu Amu.

After listening to the words of his three sons, Yelu Amu pondered for a moment and said, "In any case, one of the sons of the Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie died at the hands of the Uighurs, and for this alone, we Khitans and the Uighurs will never die!" Now that the Great Jin Dove Tiger dares to take in the remnants of the Uighur army and herdsmen, it is tantamount to launching a challenge to our Khitan tribe, if this king retreats with an army of more than 100,000 people like this, then where is the face of this king? Where is the majesty of our Khitans? ”

Then Yelu Amu, the king of Youxin, looked at the combined forces of the Ju'an army and the Uighurs on the opposite side, and snorted coldly and said, "This king wants to see how many catties and taels the so-called Great Jin Dove Tiger has!" ”
