readx; After Wei Hong's letter was sent, there was no reply. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoPresumably, the Khitan is not going to let Li Jing go, after all, Wei Hong only uses a dispensable 'cheats' to exchange for a country's important minister, which is too much of a lion's mouth. If you can guarantee that the cheats are true and useful, then it's okay, if you can't guarantee it, wouldn't the Khitan lose your wife and lose your soldiers?

Such an ending is unexpected, since the communication is not good, then come to the martial arts! This time, the general manager of the northern march was still Yin Kaishan, and as soon as Wei Hong said that he wanted to help fight against the Khitan, Yin Kaishan immediately agreed with a smile. Last time, it was because he didn't pay attention to Wei Hong that he lost the battle of Yuezhou again and again, and this time Yin Kaishan will never make another mistake.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan are mainly entangled in the vicinity of Yingzhou, because the Khitan is brave and good at fighting, the Tang Dynasty can only temporarily withdraw troops and stalemate with it. Originally, Comrade Lao Li meant that the Khitan had been harassing the border for many years, and every time he couldn't do his best to conquer it, so that the threat of the Tang Dynasty could not suppress the Khitan at all. This time, simply play a game, not just to repel the Khitan, but to either destroy the Khitan, or let the Khitan surrender at the feet of the Tang Dynasty. But the Khitan cavalry is brave, and more suitable for the northern battlefield, every time the two armies face each other, the Tang Dynasty always can't pick up the cheap, that is, it occasionally has the upper hand, the Khitan sees that the situation is not good, and he runs away, and he can't help it, and it is not easy to defeat the Khitan in one fell swoop.

Wei Hong only fought with the Khitan once, when he was in Horsehair Mountain, Wei Hong led Yulongwei to relieve the siege of Horsehair Mountain and break the Khitan. In general, the Khitan is indeed brave, but at the same time, the Khitan is also too ambitious. Like other tribes, such as the Turks and the Uighurs, they basically accept it when they see it, and they almost get it. And the Khitan is not a rabbit or an eagle, no matter what happens, it has to be done. Just like the last attack on Horsehair Mountain, it was nothing more than wanting to take advantage of Datang's illness to kill Datang.

It's not difficult to deal with this kind of enemy, you just need to give a big enough ** to lure the enemy deep, and then encircle and annihilate it. As for what this ** is? Not gold and silver, not food, but Wei Hong himself. Wei Hong is well aware of the variables and dangers on the battlefield, but in order to save Li Jing, it is also equivalent to saving Yan Ruyu, Wei Hong is willing to take a risk.

On the day Wei Hong led 6,000 soldiers and horses to the Khitan territory, the weather was gloomy and unbearably hot, which was a precursor to heavy rain. Wei Hong rode a tall horse and walked in the front, six thousand soldiers and horses followed behind Wei Hong in despair, these six thousand soldiers and Wei Hong are different, Wei Hong is thinking about how to defeat the enemy, and the soldiers are thinking about how to escape, after all, this is fighting deep behind enemy lines, and the slightest carelessness will wipe out the whole army. Coupled with this damn day, the only little morale there is is also worn out by the weather.

In these years, it is popular to lead troops to fight in wars, and it is popular to put a big flag on the army to tell the enemy which army this is, so that the enemy can have a mental preparation. In fact, this is also a kind of psychological warfare, if the enemy knows that he is invincible, he will take the initiative to avoid the battle. Wei Hong also erected a big banner, but it was not the number of this army, but Wei Hong's surname. Before Wei Hong came, he made a very large flag, and the area of the flag was about six square meters. In fact, it is not a flag, but more like a banner, supported by wooden sticks on the left and right, and even if there is no wind, it can be spread out in its entirety, so that the enemy can see it from afar. Other people put up flags to intimidate the enemy, but Wei Hong erected the flag to attract the enemy and tell the enemy, I'm coming!

Wei Hong led the 6,000 soldiers not to walk blindly, but to go around to the back of the Kip Stone Valley, and then approached the inner abdomen of the Khitan from the Kip Stone Valley as the origin. Now is the time when the two armies are fighting, the war zone is full of scouts, and Wei Hong has not gone far before he is targeted by the Khitan scouts. Seeing the golden word 'Wei' on the banner, the scout immediately reported the news to the commander. This time the boss is Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi is Xiao He's cousin, two years ago when Xiao He led his troops to fight in the Eastern Turkic battlefield, he was shot by a stray arrow, leaving sequelae, and he retired, so the heavy responsibility of fighting with the Tang Dynasty fell on Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi is also a talent, but he is a little worse than Xiao He, not that Xiao Qi is not capable, but that Xiao He is too outstanding in all aspects to surpass him. In addition, Xiao He and Xiao Qi have two completely different advantages, Xiao He marches and fights to be foolproof, and he is willing to do everything after careful consideration. And Xiao Qi is very decisive and good at seizing opportunities, once the opportunity is in front of him, he will never miss it. However, this kind of decisiveness can also be called recklessness in a sense, and it is a fatal weakness of Xiao Qi.

After learning that Wei Hong led troops deep into the hinterland, Xiao Qi immediately convened a meeting of the generals in the army, and after discussion, everyone agreed that Wei Hong was ready to lead troops to rescue Li Jing. Xiao Qi felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he would never allow measures, even if he sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, to intercept Wei Hong. In Xiao Qi's opinion, Wei Hong was too confident, and he dared to lead a mere 6,000 soldiers and horses into the hinterland. didn't say it, we must kill these 6,000 soldiers and horses and capture Wei Hong alive!

Because the northern battlefield was originally not large, Xiao Qi's 10,000 soldiers and horses quickly intercepted Wei Hong's soldiers and horses, and when they met, they didn't talk nonsense and started fighting directly, but the result was not the slightest difference from what they imagined, and Wei Hong's 6,000 soldiers and horses were beaten and had no power to parry. After a few rounds, the 6,000 soldiers and horses lost 2,000, and Wei Hong was defeated with 4,000 remnants. Xiao Qi immediately ordered the whole army to pursue, and be sure to kill all the remaining 4,000 soldiers and horses before Wei Hong escaped from the battlefield!

Wei Hong was mentally prepared for defeat before he came, to put it bluntly, if he was not defeated, Wei Hong would be a little flustered. Defeated at this time, Wei Hong retreated into Kip Stone Valley with the remnants of the army and retreated back along the narrow road of Kip Stone Valley. Xiao Qi's 10,000-strong army pursued the victory, and under the absolute superiority, he was not worried about Wei Hong's deception, and plunged headlong into the Kip Stone Valley. Seeing that the Khitan army had entered the Kip Stone Valley, Wei Hong's hanging heart also fell to the ground. Hurriedly ordered the army to speed up its retreat, and after about half an hour, only 3,000 of the 4,000 soldiers and horses were left in pursuit, and the other 1,000 were killed in the battle and retreat. Seeing that Wei Hong's defeat was decided, the Khitan army only needed to increase its strength to annihilate Wei Hong's soldiers and horses and capture Wei Hong alive.

At this time, Wei Hong had already withdrawn from Kip Stone Valley, and at the same time as withdrawing from Kip Stone Valley, Wei Hong suddenly ordered the whole army to fight back! Originally, 6,000 soldiers and horses were no opponent, but now there are only 3,000 left, and the soldiers are in a high mood for battle, but they still have to obey orders and fight back with the determination to die.
