Chapter 46: Reborn from the Fire
When Zhao Ban learned that Yao Guang went alone to negotiate with the Tupin Buxiao battalion, he was very anxious, he sent someone to inquire about Yao Meng, and learned that the messenger sent back by Yao Guang was detained by Yao Meng, Zhao Ban knew that something bad was going to happen, Yao Meng was notoriously narrow-minded, Yao Guang made the decision to negotiate without authorization, it was undoubtedly offensive to his authority, he would definitely die and not be saved, Zhao Ban thought about it, and wrote a letter to send his cronies to Yang Hao,
Tu Pin Buxiao hated Yao Guang for disrespecting him, but he was more worried about his son's safety, he could humiliate Yao Guang and vent his anger, but he didn't dare to hurt him, similarly, Yao Guang also saw that it was not good for him to do it against Tu Pin Buxiao, both sides gave a step, Tu Pin Buxiao no longer pursued Yao Guang's arrogance and rudeness, Yao Guang falsely claimed to lead the way to rescue Tu Pin Buxiao,
Tupin Buxiao asked Yao Guang's hair to be shaved into the appearance of the Khitans, dressed him in Khitan clothes, and locked an iron lock on his waist, leading him in front to lead the way, Tupin Buxiao saved people's hearts, and thought that Yao Guang did not dare to cheat in his own hands, so he drove the army to the northwest with confidence and boldness, and unconsciously walked into the ambush circle of the Tang army, the main force of the Xining Army is elite here, with a total strength of 12,000 people, divided into the eastern, western and northern three front armies, the commander-in-chief is Yang Hao, the main general of the North Route Army Park Enjun, and the main general of the West Route Army Wu Chizan, The commander of the East Route Army will be Chongchong,
When Tu Pin Bu Xiao felt that it was not good to go out of Beijing, it was too late, Wu Chizan led the army to cut off his back road, and two thousand Tu Pin Bu cavalry were besieged by regiments.
Yang Hao did not rush to attack, he sent Xiong Lindai as a special envoy to persuade him to surrender, Tupin Buxiao learned that he was in a desperate situation, pulled Yao Guang to the ground, stepped on his feet, and ordered the generals to fight to the end, Yao Guang couldn't help but shout: "Yelu Tilaba is not going to send you to death!" As soon as you die, your people, slaves, cattle and sheep are his, and your wife and concubine and your children are also his. ”
Tu Pin refutated angrily: "This is our Khitan business, what does it have to do with you Tang people." Yao Guang sneered: "Since you don't accept my love, you will kill me, and then fight to the death with the Tang Iron Cavalry, I don't believe in two thousand against ten thousand, what are your chances of winning, when your body is pecked into white bones by the goshawk, the people of the Yelu family will be able to hold your wife and daughter and be happy." ”
Tu Pin Bubu originally had a grudge against the Yelu clan, and this time he fell into a desperate situation because of Yelu Tira, all of them were so excited by Yao Guang, they all gritted their teeth with hatred, Tu Pin Buxiao saw through everyone's thoughts, and hatefully threw Da Xuan on the ground, and said to everyone: "Yelu is not benevolent, I won't give him my life." When these words came out, no one objected.
Tu Pin Buxiao raised his foot, pulled Yao Guang up with the chain, and said, "You go to see your boss now, I am willing to sit down and talk to him." Yao Guang dusted off the dust on his body and said slowly: "Why don't you show sincerity and go with me to see General Yang." Tu Pin Buxiao lowered his head and thought for a while, and snorted: "Go and go, am I afraid that he will not succeed." ”
Yao Guang led Tupin Buxiao to the front of the Chinese army camp, but inadvertently met Yao Meng, Yao Guang turned a blind eye and walked straight inside, Yao Meng sneered: "As a general of the Tang Dynasty, but wearing the clothes of the Hu people, which rule is this?" Yao Guang sneered: "As a general of the Tang Dynasty, I am jealous of my ability, I am afraid to move forward, and I don't know what the rules are." Yao Meng was furious when he heard this, and drew his knife to split Yao Guang, which caused a misunderstanding among the guards, and everyone drew their knives to meet them.
Yao Meng sneered: "Wow, no wonder it's so horizontal, it turns out that there are Tartars to support you." Zhang Lang walked out of the Chinese military tent and said in a bright voice: "The defense of Fengzhou has made Lord Yang have invited the Khan of the Surprise Product." As he spoke, military music sounded, and the guard of honor lined up, dozens of soldiers were dressed in bright armor, holding guns, hanging knives from their waists, and carrying bows and arrows diagonally, all of them were in good spirits.
Tu Pin Buxiao shouted back from the guards, and was about to go inside, but was stopped by two guards and asked him to take off his saber, Tu Pin's face suddenly turned black, and the guards were also indignant, Yao Guang persuaded: "This is the rule in the Tang Army, please be sure to abide by it." "Tu Pin Buxiao had no choice but to untie his saber and hand it to the guards, and the attendants had to untie their swords and accompany them.
Yang Hao and a cadre of generals greeted him at the door of the Chinese army's tent, and after shaking hands with Tupin Buxiao, he asked: "Yang has no place to be sorry for his Khitan friends, why did you raise troops to attack." Tu Pin didn't snort and said: "It's the Yelu clan who can fight ruthlessly, and we and the other seven departments don't want to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty." Yang Hao said: "The Yelu clan is ruthless and bullying the weak, but I have already heard of it, and the Khan is willing to join forces with me to teach the Yelu clan a lesson." "Tupin didn't howl and bowed his head silently,
Yang Hao said: "If the Yelu clan is not punished, I am afraid that the Khan's life will not be easy in the future, and if I do this, it will not only benefit me, but also the Khan." Tupin did not howl and said: "Please release the general, I am willing to obey." Yang Hao said with a smile: "Ling Gongzi is a real warrior on the grassland, this time because of a small misunderstanding fell and injured his leg, I have asked a famous doctor to treat it, and I am recuperating at the moment, if the Khan is not at ease, I can take it back now." Tu Pin Bu Xiao hurriedly said: "I am very relieved that there are famous doctors in the Tang Dynasty to take care of me, and Tu Pin is not willing to follow the general and rescue the Khitan people." ”
On this day, the cronies sent back a secret letter, saying that Tupin Buxiao marched to the northwest of Datong Sichuan, and wanted to fight with the main force of the Tang army.
This was expected by Yang Hao, when Yelu Tira's forward crossed the Datong River at night and withdrew from the Tiande Army, Yang Hao found Tu Pin Buxiao and said to him: "You are an upright person, but unfortunately Yelu Tira is a villain, I said before that he used you to attract me, and he himself took the opportunity to get out, and now it can be seen that what I said is true." "Tu Pin Buxiao was a little unbelieving at first, but after sending someone to investigate, he found that he was really being used, and he was extremely resentful.
So according to Yang Hao's strategy, he reported to Yelu Tira, claiming that he was besieged by the main force of the Tang army, and asked Yelu Tira to send reinforcements quickly.
After Yelu Tiera found out that the Tupin Bubu was surrounded, the troops withdrew at the same time in three ways, and after the left and right roads were successfully withdrawn from the Tiande army, he himself led the main force of 15,000 people to cross the Datong River at the end of March, at this moment the spring snow melted, the river swelled, the original plan was to cross the river in one day, and did not want to delay for two and a half days and one-fifth failed to cross the river, this delay gave Yang Hao sufficient time to prepare, on the morning of March 29, the Xining Army Xiaocai and the two battalions of the iron bell suddenly killed to the south bank of the Datong River, and the three thousand Khitan guards who were crossing the river were caught off guard, Suddenly fell into chaos,
Yelu Theira's first reaction was to withdraw the army quickly, he was not willing to lose his life because of the tail clip, but when he saw that the Tang army was only more than 2,000 people, he suddenly changed his mind, he ordered the three thousand people who had crossed the Datong River to return to the division for reinforcements, the Datong River is not rough, but there is also a two-mile wide river, no boat or raft to swim with bare hands is not an easy task, just when the 3,000 people rushed to cross the river,
The main force of the Xining Army, the Tiger Battalion, the Jinfeng Battalion, the Iron Bell Battalion, the Xiaofeng Battalion, and the Jingqi Battalion from the northwest direction, the Weiyuan Battalion, the Vulture Division, the Manhei Division, and the Loyal and Righteous Army covered and killed from the northeast at the same time, and the 20,000 troops were dispatched at the same time, this was the largest battle commanded by Yang Hao, the Xining Army poured out, and the allies also did their best, this is a battle that can only be won and not defeated,
The Datong River grassland instantly turned into a sea of blood, and the grass that had sprouted crisp and tender grass buds was suddenly stained red with blood, and the Yelu Tira Department was the main Khitan force, including five thousand tart horse army, and the combat power was extraordinary.
Yang Hao stood on a dirt mountain on the north bank of the Datongchuan, quietly watching the soldiers who were as dense as ants stirring together to fight with their lives, at this moment there was no concept of individual people in his eyes, he saw a kind of "potential", a kind of "force", "potential" and "force" in this and each other, like a game of chess, the pattern is always new, and finally Yang Hao understood all this in front of him, when everything under his feet gradually solidified, he pointed to the northwest direction, and said to Yu Yanlu: "Take your people to insert it from there, the faster the better, don't be afraid of the dead." , don't fall in love with the war, rush to the river in one go, divide the Khitans in two, and we will win this battle. Yu Yanlu didn't say a word, turned around and shouted: "The reconnaissance team and the guard team stay, and the rest of the people follow me." ”
The Agni Battalion is the last card in Yang Hao's hand, it is the last straw that broke the camel's back, the situation on the battlefield has reversed rapidly, and the defeat of the Khitans has been irretrievable.
In his eyes, the life of the soldier is not important, success or failure is not important, the important thing is to save his life and be able to turn defeat into victory, he made an extremely bold move: concentrate all the forces that can still be controlled to launch a final charge to Yang Hao, "capture the thief and capture the king first" and "fight the snake and hit seven inches", this is what he learned from the Han people, this is his only chance to turn defeat into victory, Yelu pulled out the order to be in danger, and acted as a blade again, Thirteen of his seventeen disciples were still there at this time, and they were gathered around Jerodira like a sharp knife piercing the earth mountain.
Yang Hao has a guard team, a reconnaissance team and thirty guards in the inner temple fang, they do not have any advantage in numbers, and the enemy army has the advantage in combat power, Zhang Lang and Li Wei became nervous and persuaded Yang Hao to avoid the limelight for the time being, Yang Hao reprimanded: "Nonsense, the soldiers have not retreated, how can the commander retreat first." "Yang Hao is not reckless and famous, but he can't go because of the battlefield situation, he is like that military flag, and he is the support of thousands of soldiers to fight to the end.
He picked up his bow in his hand, fired four arrows in a row, and shot over three Khitan cavalrymen, Yelu pulled back his hand and shot an arrow at Yang Hao, the arrow flew past his ear, Yang Hao's cheek was scratched with a bloody mark, and there was a pain, and the blood flowed down.
Zhang Lang and Li Wei dragged Yang Hao away, and Yang Hao struggled to shake it off, he picked up the machine crossbow and shot down two Khitan soldiers, and then raised a spear to meet it, the soldiers of the fire battalion reconnaissance team and the guard team have been lost, and there are only about a dozen people left in the inner temple guards, everyone saw that Yang Hao did not retreat, and suddenly their morale was high.
Yeluthera made a scimitar, Yang Hao made a spear, an inch long and an inch strong, in front of a spear that was a zhang long, Yeluthera's scimitar could not take any advantage, but he was skilled in swordsmanship, and it was not easy for Yang Hao to kill him, Yang Hao knocked it over with a spear, Yeluthera got up, Yang Hao knocked him over again, and he got up again,
When Yang Hao and Yelu Tira fought weapons, the only remaining soldiers of the inner temple and Yelu Geba and others launched a round of shooting, only twenty or thirty steps apart, the accuracy of the arrow is no longer the first consideration of the problem, who shoots the arrow faster is the winner, obviously Yelu Geba and his disciples are much faster than Zhang Lang and others, but Zhang Lang and others are stained with the light of the new machine crossbow, this kind of crossbow has an arrow box on the side, can be equipped with five crossbow arrows at a time, continuous firing,
Advanced weapons effectively make up for the lack of skills, but the disadvantage of numbers is not something that can be changed by advanced weapons, Zhang Lang and Li Wei only have a dozen people, but the opponent has more than 40 people, after a confrontation, the Tang army lost everything, and the Khitans lay down nearly 30 people,
At the foot of Tushan, the battle on the south bank has ended, the three thousand Khitan guards have been completely annihilated, and the defeat of the Khitans on the north bank is also a foregone conclusion, but on Tushan, the commander of the Tang Army is surrounded by more than a dozen Khitans and is struggling for survival.
It's a great irony,
Jeregebal finally saw that his commander was not the opponent of the enemy general, and seeing the tribesmen slaughtered in a heap at the foot of the mountain, he could no longer care about any rules, he secretly drew a feather arrow, and wanted to shoot with a bow, suddenly, a golden light flashed in front of him, and a golden feather arrow shot his bow, and the strength of the arrow did not decrease at all, and he shot and injured a disciple standing behind him,
A jujube red horse suddenly came up from the northwest corner of the dirt bag, and immediately it was a heroic red-robed female general,
"Sui Kite." Yang Hao was so excited that he almost didn't scream, it was so good to see her on this occasion,
Sui Kite is very beautiful, but the character of crossing the horse with a knife has discouraged many men, Yang Hao doesn't like girls with this kind of character, he and Sui Crouching Tiger have almost become friends, but he hasn't said a few words to Sui Kite so far,
Sui Kite shot like lightning, the arrow was extremely accurate, and he cleanly killed the famous "Youzhou Three Heroes" in the face-to-face shooting, and the Khitans were terrified, at this moment, Yang Hao roared angrily, threw his gun and smashed Yelu Tira's scimitar, and put the tip of the red tassel spear against the throat of the Khitan leader.
"You lose, let them lay down their arms." Yang Hao's voice was not too loud, but it was extremely majestic, Yeluthera's facial expression was stiff, his eyes were sluggish, and for a long time, he knelt on one knee and lowered his noble head,
