Section 575 Battle of Khitan (1)

It is no wonder that they were surprised, the Tang army attacked the Yellow River in a zigzag area, attacking the Turks, which was more than a thousand miles away from the Songdesert Governor's Mansion, and the Khitans never dreamed that the Tang army would not hesitate to go on an expedition to attack the Khitan who seemed to be useless!

What does the Khitan have?

The answer is that the Khitan has a hair!

There are beautiful women, the place has not been cleared for a long time, the farmland is not good, and there is no gold, silver, copper, iron and coal (they don't know they are in Baoshan) ...... Li Quanzhong's heart only felt that there were 10,000 chamber horses roaring past. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, he doesn't know that labor and management are idle, so he wants to find a place to stop the pain, and look at the Khitan is big and resistant to grass, isn't it a Khitan or who? (Narrator)

Moreover, the Tang army was extremely ferocious, and it was all massacre, if it wasn't for repeated confirmation, Li Qianzhong almost suspected that other ethnic groups had changed their clothes to kill the Khitans.

Anyway, get ready to fight!

The Khitan productivity is backward, and Li Quanzhong only raises 3,000 standing soldiers, all of whom are cavalry, very elite, but only 3,000 people!

Previously, Li Zhijie took a thousand people, but they were almost wiped out by the Tang Army, and only two thousand people remained.

What can 2,000 people come in for? According to the people who escaped and returned, the cavalry of the Tang Army was all over the mountains, and they were all cavalry!

How else can this battle be fought, Li Quanzhong frantically sent the family members of the family with his orders and arrows to various departments to transfer troops and gather troops.

But the bad news kept coming, the Tang army made rapid progress, and everywhere it went, it attacked with fast swords and arrows, killing people when they saw it, indiscriminately, and the Khitans suffered a lot of casualties!

The incident happened suddenly, without warning, without expectation, and the Khitans did not have time to react.

Eight Khitan Divisions: Daji Department, Absolute Convenience Department, Duhuo Department, Fenwen Department, Sudden Convenience Department, Rui Xi Department, Falling Jin Department, Fu Department, there are already four main forces that have no response, only some remnants of the defeated generals responded, the Sudden Department is Li Zhijie's headquarters, and the Rui Xi Department is the jurisdiction of Sun Wanlao, and two departments have to be called!

The envoy sent to the Duhuo Department sent the Tang army to the tribe, and the leader of the department, Liu Pingfu, had surrendered to the Tang army, which was said by someone in the department who was not convinced!

The distance of the ambush was too far to come, so Li Zhi's soldiers only had more than 40,000 cavalry.

"Muddy account!" With Li Zhijie's bravery, he also felt a heavy pressure, you must know that in the past, when he gathered the tribe, because all the people were soldiers, the eight ministries controlled 300,000 strings!

Now there are only 40,000 people, and the huge gap makes him embarrassed!

Of course, he didn't expect Wei Xi's ruthless character to hit the snake on seven inches, that is, the number of nomads!

If the nomads are self-reliant, they actually live quite miserable, their ability to resist natural disasters is even worse, their living conditions are not good, the infant mortality rate is high, the people are old, and the average age per capita is low!

The tribes are the weak and the strong, killing and killing, and the population has never been able to go up.

Wei Xi marched into the army, and the general order grabbed a point, that is, kill, kill, kill, kill!

"When you see a man, kill him, make meritorious service with his head, don't talk about occupying places, don't talk about how many women are captured, don't talk about how much money you get, whoever kills more people is the hero of this great general!"

"If the tribesmen are brave, if one of you can't beat them, a few of you will surround them and fight, and the general will beat the small soldiers, and shoot them with arrows! Whatever means you use, kill them all. Wei Xi said.

"General, this one will make me like this!" Shi Wanchao agreed: "This is the best order issued by the great general!" ”

"General, I love you!" Swanchao shouted.

"I love women, don't look for me!" Wei Xi shook his head and said.

In addition to the command, there is also a map of the Khitan!

The money and manpower spent every year are not in vain, it used to be Wei Xi's system, and now it is the Military Intelligence Department, stretching out its tentacles like a spider, how to take the road, where there are more people, and how to equip it, so that the Tang army can follow the map, have a target, and take many detours.

Even more terrifying is the Belt and Road Party.

Liu Pingfu, the leader of the Duhuo Division, had a Khitan father and a Han woman, who was 50 percent Han Chinese, and had grown up under his mother's education since he was a child, and was considered by the Military Intelligence Department to be the most likely leader to turn around.

Sure enough, when the Tang army launched an attack, he sensed that the Tang army was strong, and immediately turned back, put on the clothes of the Han people, and announced his submission!

Then he sent his own tribe who were familiar with the road to lead the way for the Tang army, so with the map and the leading party, plus fast horses, in a short period of time, the Tang army swept the Daji Department, the Absolute Sect Department, the Fenwen Department, and the Falling Jin Department, and the Khitans suffered heavy casualties.

……

At night, the two discussed under the lights.

"The situation seems to be fine at all, they are coming very violently!" Li Qianzhong has always been optimistic, but at this time he is also worried.

"There are tens of thousands of Tang troops coming to kill us, and we will be there tomorrow!" Sun Wanrong preached.

"Hit them head-on, I'm going to kill them all!" Thinking of the slaughter of so many clansmen, Li Quanzhong couldn't help but be angry.

"We only have 40,000 people, and we can kill them all, but there are a lot of Tang people, at least more than 100,000, if we fight with them one-on-one, it will definitely not work!" Sun Wanrong said calmly, the more information they got, the more frightened they became, the Tang army was strong, and they only had 40,000 people, so it was not suitable to fight hard.

"What are you going to do?" Li Qianzhong asked.

"Cliff Valley!" Sun Wanrong replied.

……

Early the next morning, the Khitans, who had already prepared, set up camp, abandoned Huangshui City, and retreated along the west.

When the 10,000-strong Tang army arrived, only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled who could not walk were left in Huangshui City, and they said that the Khitans were afraid of the Tang army and had fled westward.

It was not the main force of the Tang army that occupied Huangshui City, but the government army of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion, led by Yingzhou Sima Zhang Wenxuan, because of the proximity of the road, he first arrived at Huangshui City, intending to attack the Songmo Governor's Mansion, capture the Khitan leader, and obtain meritorious service.

But the Khitans did not expect to flee, so this unit rested for one night and continued the pursuit the next day.

It was easy to pursue, and the items discarded by the Khitans could be seen along the road, and some old cattle and thin horses were harvested.

Unconsciously I came to a treacherous place, where on one side is a bottomless abyss, and you can't see the end at a glance, and on the other side is a mountain range, and the road is an avenue by the shore.

The Tang army was in a hurry, and the previous scouts who were easy to climb the small mountains went up and found that there was no ambush, and after the mountains that could not be climbed, they no longer reconnoitred after they began, and only cared about hurrying, because they found more Khitan abandonments in front, and the scouts claimed that the Khitans were found in front!

So everyone buried their heads in the road, and this time the rewards for killing the Khitans were rich, and the Tang army rushed to kill people one by one.

I don't want to, after tens of thousands of people are stuffed into the Yellow River Valley, I can only hear the sound of horns blowing, the drums are vibrating, and the Khitans are killing from the side mountains, condescending, like overwhelming mountains and seas!

Seeing that the Khitan people were strong, the Tang army was in chaos

A long snake formation, the terrain of the Tang army is unfavorable, can not form a rich formation, the Khitan people rushed down with great momentum, soon after the battle, the Tang army formation was rushed to pieces, the soldiers screamed and fell into the cliff, almost no way to escape.

Yingzhou Sima Zhang Wenxuan in the middle of the team, can not escape at all, he gathered troops into a circle, with spears to guard, open like a hedgehog, the Khitans do not conflict, only care about the arrows, as a result, Zhang Wenxuan's people around them all died in the arrows, and he was captured alive.

This time, the Khitans mobilized 30,000 people to fight 10,000 people, and wrapped dumplings in the front and back, and almost none of the Yingzhou army survived!
