Later, during the campaign, Li Qianzhong died of illness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Khitan tribes, under the leadership of Sun Wanrong, continued to fight against the Tang army.

At this time, in order to claim the previous Turkic surrender, the Turkic Mosi Khan proposed to his daughter, the son of Emperor Wu Zhou, and expressed his willingness to lead the army into the Khitan. Wu Zetian then conferred Mo Si as the Left Guard to surrender the army and move to the Khan.

Taking advantage of Li Quanzhong's funeral, Mo Si attacked Songmo, and kidnapped Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong's wives. Sun Wanrong, who was fighting against the Tang Army, suddenly heard that the Song Desert was missing, panicked, and the hearts of the people were scattered, and the Xi people attached to the Khitan also took the opportunity to turn their backs on the Khitan.

As a result, the Tang army attacked in front of it, and the Xi soldiers attacked behind it, the Khitan army was defeated, and Sun Wanrong was killed. After the defeat of the Khitan, the remnants of the Xi tribe and the Xi tribe and the Xia tribe all surrendered to the Later Turks.

Although Li Yanhuo led the rest of the Khitan to attach himself to the Turks, he still longed for the glory of his great-grandfather's era in his heart. However, today's Datang is no longer the Tang Dynasty of the past, even if he wants to be the governor of Songmo Prefecture again, Datang must also have this strength, otherwise, why should he listen to Datang.

Based on this complicated mood, Li lost his life in this battle and wanted to inflict heavy losses on the invading enemy and achieve victory. But I also want to see the Tang Dynasty army show the majesty of the year, defeat the Qixi coalition army, and let myself willingly return to the Tang Dynasty.

"King Khitan, the Tang Army is here!" Just when Li was thinking about it, the eager voice of King Xi Li Dayu came.

"Are you here?" Li hurriedly asked, "Is it cavalry or infantry?" ”

"The cavalry of the Don Army entered the valley at the same time as the infantry!" Li Dayu said excitedly.

"Entered at the same time? How is this possible? Li asked again in confusion, "Did they send scouts?" Did they send people to occupy the high ground on both sides? ”

Li Dayu swore and said: "That's right, I saw it with my own eyes, their cavalry and infantry entered the Nantai Valley at the same time, and the distance between the front and rear was less than a mile. They did not send out scouts, nor did they occupy the valleys on either side, and swaggered into the valleys. ”

Li Dayu's words made Li Yanhuo a little overwhelmed, and he was guessing whether the other party's master would do this, whether it was a pretense or another conspiracy. After thinking about it for a while, Li lost his life and didn't come up with a reason, he set his eyes on Sanger.

Sanger remained silent: "Whatever their schemes, we just have to follow the previous plan." ”

In fact, Li Yanhuo's concerns were completely superfluous, the cavalry of the former army of the Tang Dynasty entered the valley with the infantry, did not send scouts, and did not occupy the high ground on both sides, this was not any conspiracy, it was completely caused by the anger of the former army commander Li Sijing and Zhang Baoer.

In the previous competition with the Luzhou regiment, Li Sijing's government soldiers were completely defeated, which made him lose face and feel that he couldn't raise his head in front of everyone.

This time, Li Sijing, as the former army commander, originally thought that before entering the Nantai Valley, he also thought about sending scouts first, and after occupying the mountains on both sides, the brigade would enter the valley.

But Zhang Baoer sent someone to pass on the message to him, which made Li Sijing make up his mind not to follow Zhang Baoer's wishes. If nothing else, just to save face: If I don't listen to you Zhang Bao'er, you can pass through Nangutai safely.

That's why it's so unusual.

Although he was angry, after taking the lead in bringing the cavalry into the valley, Li Sijing's heart was also up and down, and he was cautious and cautious along the way, and he was relieved when he saw that he was about to walk out of the valley.

At this moment, a lot of things suddenly rained on the valleys on both sides, Li Sijing was taken aback when he found this strange situation, and hurriedly shouted: "Pay attention to the enemy's sneak attack." ”

After the black things were dropped, there was no movement.

Somehow, the usually well-trained war horses became restless at this time.

Li Sijing finally calmed down his mount, and then heard someone report: "General, it was wolf dung that was sprinkled from the valley!" ”

Li Sijing suddenly realized that horses were naturally afraid of wolves, and the reason why war horses were so restless was because they smelled wolf dung.

Li Sijing had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and he immediately gave the order to let the cavalry quickly rush out of the valley.

As soon as Li Sijing's general order came out, he found a strange picture: hundreds of wolves appeared at the mouth of the valley in front, they were arranged in a neat formation, slowly approaching Li Sijing's cavalry.

There are many wolves in the grasslands, but most of them only appear at night and rarely during the day. Wolves are social animals, and the average wolf pack is between a few to a dozen, and if it reaches dozens, it is a very large group, but it is unheard of to gather hundreds of wolves at a time like this.

Li Sijing knew what the appearance of so many wolves meant to the cavalry's mount, and he shouted: "Shoot those wolves quickly!" ”

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the wolves let out a long howl in unison and began to trot towards the cavalry.

The trembling war horse, which was barely controlled by the cavalry, saw this scene, and still listened to the command of the cavalry, turned around and fled backwards. The cavalry, having lost control of the horse, was completely panicked and could only lie down on the horse, so as not to be thrown off by the crazy horse.

Li Sijing still maintained a trace of sobriety, and he wanted to stop the cavalry running backwards, but he soon found that it was all in vain, not only was his voice drowned out by the neighing of his horses and the frightened shouts of the personnel, but even his own mount turned around and galloped in horror.

Li Sijing's war horse is a purebred Western Regions horse, which shows an advantage in speed in the process of escaping. Li Sijing was on the galloping horse, and before he had time to be annoyed, he saw the infantry that was originally following closely behind the cavalry.

Li Sijing's heart suddenly fell to the bottom: nearly 10,000 cavalry rode out of control on war horses, rushing towards the unsuspecting infantry at a very fast speed, and these infantry had been marching for half a day, and their physical strength had already been exhausted, coupled with the restrictions of the terrain, the formation of these infantry was very dense.

The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and Li Sijing could even see the frightened and desperate gaze on the faces of his infantrymen......

……

Xue Ne's Chinese army was still moving forward, and Li Kailuo suggested to Xue Ne: "Dadu Governor, there is the Nantai Valley in front, otherwise, let's wait here for a while, and then we will enter after the front army has all passed through the valley." ”

Before Xue Ne could reply, he heard a roar like thunder coming from the Nantai Valley, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

"Grand Duke, this is the sound of the horse's hooves charging at full speed of the cavalry, listen!" Speaking of this, Li Kailuo was puzzled: "Isn't it right? The cavalry in General Li's front army was only eight or nine thousand, but listening to this voice, the cavalry must have at least 30,000 people, isn't it ......?"
