Chapter 872: Out of the Mountain
On the fourth day of the first month of November, before dusk, Li Fengyun arrived at the edge of the northern foot of Songshan with the army of Xuanfeng, camped in a valley in the lower reaches of the Hu River to rest, and sent Wang Lei and Yuan Qizhi each with a team of scouts to the area of Chifeng and Jinkou overnight to inquire about the news. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The scout teams of the Humiliation King Department at Songshan Pass and Chifeng Jinkou had been paying close attention to the military situation on both sides of the Tuosuchen River and the weak Luoshui River, but the sky was frozen, and the Khitans strengthened the blockade of Anzhou, which made the operation difficult and the information obtained was very limited.
On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, the humiliating king Lei flew back, panting and exhausted, but he could not hide the excitement between his eyebrows, and after meeting Li Fengyun, he said eagerly, "Ming Gong, good news, the Murod Department has counterattacked, and is fighting fiercely with the Khitan Yaolai Department in the Flower Road Tent. ”
Li Fengyun raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed surprise, and Hu Luba was also surprised, the two looked at each other, and they all leaned over to look at the map spread on the desk.
On the map, from Chifengjinkou to the east, along the Luoma River down the river for more than 100 miles, is the confluence of the Luoma River and the Tosuchen Water, and on the east bank of the Tofuchen Water is the Luoma City, where the capital of the Khitan Yaolai Department is located; Go south from Luoma City, go up more than 100 miles along the Tuo Suchen water, which is the flower arrangement tent; The flower road tent is the dividing point between the Xi people and the Khitan people in the Tusu Chenshui, a narrow river valley, controlled by the Xi tribe, and more than 100 miles northwest of it is the mouth of Chifeng Jinkou.
These three dangers are distributed in a cone-shaped, among which Chifeng Jinkou and Flower Road Tent are the defensive shields of the Xi people, and Luoma City is the spear of the Khitan people's attack, and since the Xi people captured Anzhou, because the Xi people are backed by the fierce beast of Middle Earth, and there is a Turkic wolf on the flanks, and they are restless, so in the face of the attack of the Khitans, they can only defend passively, so the land within a radius of 100 miles between the three dangers and the two rivers has become the main battlefield for the two tribes to attack each other.
This summer, the Xi people tried their best to conquer the Khitan in the north, but they were blocked under the city of Luoma, and it was difficult to move an inch, and the two sides fought a stalemate and confrontation, the most important reason for this is that the Xi people and the Khitan were both defeated, and the Donghu tribes conquered each other, consumed each other, and scattered sand, which was exactly the situation that the Turks were willing to see, and it was also an effective means for the tooth tent to control other tribes with different surnames. Unexpectedly, the Middle-earth people, who thought they were fettered by the Eastern Crusade and had no time to take care of themselves, took advantage of the fire to rob, and with a black hand behind their backs, they ate the Xi people in one bite and robbed the Turkic people's "peaches".
The "sneak attack" of the Middle-earth people not only caught the Turks off guard, but also made the Khitans pick up a big bargain, but at the beginning of the upheaval in Anzhou, the Khitans also made a misjudgment of the situation, thinking that it was the Turks who attacked Anzhou, and thought that the Turks wanted to take the opportunity to eat the Xi people in the name of supporting the Khitan to stabilize the northeast. Unexpectedly, in the face of life and death, the Xi tribe took advantage of the advantages of local warfare and the dangerous terrain at the southeast foot of Mayu Mountain to successfully block the retaliatory attack of the Khitans.
Soon, the Khitans got the news from the secret agents lurking in the ghost side that it was Middle-earth that attacked Anzhou, and the Khitans judged that the Turks were going to send troops, and the two powerful men might have to fight for the ownership of Anzhou, so the Khitans decisively decided to withdraw their troops in order to wait and see what happened and the fishermen benefited. In fact, the Khitans have been fighting for several months, the loss is too great, winter is coming, and they urgently need to rest, and they are worried about repeating the mistakes of the Xi people, after all, the Khitan eight-tribe alliance has been greatly damaged, once the Bu Lishe on the north bank of the weak Luoshui is determined to eat them, and command the Turkic control string and the alliance forces of the Xia tribes to launch a fierce blow from their back, the Khitan is in danger.
As soon as the Khitans withdrew, the Murod Department of course counterattacked, at this time, although the news of the defeat and siege of the Ahuizheng and Xi armies came from the Wulieshui battlefield, but the Murod had no choice, and the Middle Earth people could not kill Qijin Mountain for the time being, and now it was the Khitans who threatened the survival of the Murod Ministry, and it was natural that they should roar down along the Tuosu Chenshui to regain the previously lost land and minimize their own losses.
The Khitan Eight-Division Alliance, with the Dahe clan as the leader, is the strongest in the four tribes on both sides of the Tuochen River, such as Fufu, Yaolai, Yaoran, and Diera, and the deepest grudge against the Xi people and the most closely related to the interests of Anzhou, so the other four tribes who have traveled long distances from the Far East, because their territories border with the Xia, Murowei, Yao, Goguryeo and Liaodong in Middle Earth, and the hatred and interests of the races in the Far East are the closest, and their own "nest" is in danger of being lost, so when the Xi army withdraws from Luoma City, They hurriedly took their leave.
These four tribes have to go home through the territory of the Dierabu, to replenish supplies in the Dierabu, and this time with the Xi tribe, although there are captures, but the eight tribes are divided, the income is limited, can not compensate for the loss, so all the tribes are angry, angry. This made the Diera tribe very afraid, worried that when these four tribes passed through the Dierabu, they turned their faces and did not recognize people, and wantonly burned, killed and plundered, and the Diera tribe was in danger of extinction, so the chief of the Diela tribe, Yelu Tieli, did not hesitate and led the army to leave.
The Yao Yuan Division, who lived in the Shaolang River, was also worried that the "old nest" would be taken away, and returned to the tribe as soon as possible. The Yaoyuan Department is adjacent to the flat pine forest, close to the weak Luoshui, the Rao Le City on the opposite bank is where the tooth flag of Buli is located, Ashina Ertong led five thousand people to control the strings to deter the Donghu species, in addition to nearly 10,000 troops of the Qi tribe are located in the Heihe River and the Wolf River line, ready to go, under this unfavorable situation, the Yaoran tribes on both sides of the Shaolang River are like a group of fat lambs, and they are in danger of destruction at any time, so the control strings of the Yao Yuan Department saw that the Xi army retreated, turned around and returned to the Shaolang River, and did not dare to delay at all.
In this way, the south of the Qijin Mountain to attack the room of the Department of only out of the ambush and the remote department, and the territory of the remote department is to the center of the city of Luoma in a radius of hundreds of miles of river plains, although the water and grass are fertile, but it is the front line of the two tribes, this year the Xi five army came with all their might, the Khitan eight alliance according to the fall of the horse and defended, the Yaolai Department bore the brunt, the losses were amazing, the city of Luoma and its surrounding areas were almost in ruins, the vitality was greatly damaged, and it was dying.
This is a world of the weak and the strong, the dying Yaolai Department is a prey to be slaughtered for the neighboring brothers and the strong Izuku Ministry, fortunately, the Izuku Ministry, respected by the Dahe clan, and the Dahe clan is the leader of the Khitan Eight-Part Alliance, more or less to talk about some credit, take into account a little shame, and eat can't be too ugly, so even if the Izuku Department wants to annex the Yaolai Ministry, we have to wait and find a suitable time.
Since the Izuku Department has the intention of annexation, of course, it will no longer do its best to help the Yaolai Department recover and grow, on the contrary, to use all means to attack and weaken the Yaolai Department, it is best to force the Yaolai Department to surrender, so in the two departments stopped the retaliatory attack on the Xi Clan's Murodebu, and withdrew to their respective tribes, and the Muroku Department went north bravely and launched a fierce counterattack, and the Yaolai Department was difficult to stop, and when the Furubu retreated step by step, the Dahe clan and the Izukubu turned a blind eye, allowing the bloody and unsustainable Yaolai Department to fight against the Murode Department alone.
The Murode Department didn't want to fight, it couldn't be moved, and it just wanted to take back the northern part of his territory to take back the Ikebana Tent and collect the troops, but the Oka clan saw that the Haruka Department couldn't support it, and was worried that the war would burn to Luoma City again, and the Ambush Department had to send troops to support again, so he immediately gave the Haruka Department some support to ensure that the Haruka Department held the Ikebana Tent, and continued to fight with the Muroto Ministry, and fought to the death, and the Haruka Department knew that the Oha clan had ill intentions and had the intention of annexation, but there was nothing to be done, after all, the Murome Department was blocked in the Ikebana Tent, It's far better than burning the flames of war to Fallen Horse City again.
The heavy snow is getting heavier and heavier, the rivers are frozen, the mountain roads are difficult to travel, the grain and grass are insufficient, and the Murod can't support it, and plans to give up, but at this time, the capital of the Murode Ministry, Qijin Mountain, came with news from the Wulieshui battlefield, Ah Huizheng and the Xi tribes surrendered to the Middle Earth, the Xi people established a new alliance, the Murode Department is a member of the new alliance, the new alliance of the Xi people and the Fengyun Alliance led by the former pine desert thief White Wolf worked together to establish the Anzhou Grand Alliance, and the Grand Alliance made a promise to the Murode Ministry, and the ghost party's humiliation of the King of the Ghost side will pass through the Songshan Pass, In the shortest possible time, the Murode Department was provided with the support of food, grass and weapons, but on the condition that the Murode Department must recapture the Flower Road Tent and maintain the offensive against the Khitans in Lok Ma City.
The Qijinshan general will be suspicious, and the chieftain of the Murode Department, Yuan Qi Han, is decisive, and tells the front line Yuan Qi to get in touch with the Songshan Pass as soon as possible, as long as there is grain and grass, and there are reinforcements, of course, to recapture the flower arrangement.
In fact, Yuan Qi Yacheng has made contact with the Songshan Pass, although the news of the establishment of a grand alliance in Anzhou has not yet reached the front line, and Yuan Qi Yacheng does not know that the Humiliation King Department and the Murode Department have frozen away from the previous suspicion and shook hands, but considering that the Khitan is a common enemy of the two families, the recapture of the Flower Road Tent by the Murod Department is beneficial and harmless to the Humiliation Wang's Department to hold on to Songshan, and the two sides have a basis for cooperation, of course, they must take the initiative to test it, but at that time, the situation on the ghost side was tense, the alliance army and the Turkic control string were fighting fiercely, the pass was closed, the news was blocked, and Songshan did not respond at all, Yuan Qian Jalan City is also at a loss.
After the end of the ghost war, Li Fengyun ordered Songshan to quickly contact Yuan Qi to provoke the city, maintain the offensive on the flower arrangement tent, contain the Khitan Yao Lai Department, and wait for support, but for confidentiality reasons, there was no mention of key issues such as how to support and when to support, and Yuan Qi Yao Cheng saw a glimmer of hope, so he gritted his teeth and continued to attack, putting on a desperate posture of not taking down the flower arrangement account and vowing not to stop.
Now Anzhou began to march north, Li Fengyun took the lead out of Songshan with the selected horse army, but the Khitans underestimated the situation in Anzhou, even if they were wary of Anzhou, they did not expect that the Anzhou army would kill Songshan with lightning speed, especially the remote department closest to Songshan, and its main force was contained in the flower road tent by the Murodebu, and at this moment the city of Luoma was empty and in danger.
"Has Yuan Qianzhi already rushed to the flower arrangement?" Li Fengyun asked.
Insulting King Lei nodded again and again, "He met the scout of the headquarters who came from the flower path tent at the mouth of Chifeng Jinkou, so he left overnight. ”
Li Fengyun looked at Hu Luba.
Hu Luba waved his hand vigorously, "The soldier is fast, and one blow is fatal." ”
