Chapter 144: Infighting

Yuyang Frontier!

Peng Shuang escorted the thousands of people who were crying and crying, and he was depressed for a while, raised his whip and whipped it on one person, shouting and scolding: "What are you crying for, I can't get any oil and water, and I'm crying and cutting off your tongue." ”

In ancient times, manpower was priceless, so in ancient times, warfare and forced relocation of people abounded. In the past, Cao Cao was defeated in Dingjun Mountain, and when he withdrew his troops and abandoned Hanzhong, he forcibly moved away from the people of Hanzhong, leaving a huge empty shell of Shu Han. The Turks invaded several times, and 35,000 forcibly wrapped the people of the Central Plains into the Turks to serve as laborers.

The Turkic Khan Jieli knew the value of manpower in the long run, but the Xi only knew how to grab money and goods, but they were disdainful of manpower.

Gao Kaidao happened to be full of fugitives in the territory and lacked cultivating people, so he discussed with the Xi people to try to kill as little as possible, and left the people to him to bring back to Yuyang. The Xi people also hoped that Gao Kaidao would be able to take him into Youzhou many times to loot in the future, and also sold him this face and left the people to him.

Gao Kaidao ordered people to send the people back to Yuyang in batches to expand the poor population of Yuyang.

Compared with following the army to plunder, the person responsible for escorting the people has to be said to be a thankless chore, and there is no oil or water.

Peng Shuang complained all the way, because he was dissatisfied with the fact that as many as five people died under his whip.

Let him whip him, forced by Peng Shuang's obscenity, the young man who couldn't help howling because of the knife wound on his thigh, endured the pain and limped forward.

In the midst of scolding, Peng Shuang suddenly found that he didn't know when the war horse stopped moving forward, but just looked ahead alertly. It was a hill in front of me, and I didn't know what was behind it.

When I looked up, my eyes were pierced by the strong light for a while before I could see clearly. I saw countless soldiers riding horses and wearing light armor crossed the hills, went up and down, and swooped down to kill.

"Alert!" Peng Shuang's hair stood on end, he had been in the army for ten years, and he could be regarded as experienced, how could he not hear the sound of the horse's hooves when the cavalry was trampling, and after shouting the alert. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran.

There were less than two hundred of them, and except for him, who rode on horseback, the others were foot soldiers. How to resist the trampling of thousands of cavalry, it is better to let them resist for a while, and buy him a little time to escape.

He thought simply, but in the moment of U-turn. A long arrow pierced through the body. He was shot dead on horseback, and his body rolled to the ground, leaving him to drag him along.

Su Dingfang withdrew his bow and arrows, clamped his feet between the horse's belly, and rushed into the enemy group first......

In the hills, two thousand cavalry charged a hundred foot soldiers in a dive, and the result did not need to be calculated at all, just a wave. There were more than 100 corpses left on the ground, and all the Yan soldiers were killed.

Two thousand people were huddled together. looked at the sudden uninvited guest in astonishment, not knowing whether it was friend or foe. But the bloody scene frightened them, the people who had never seen the world, and looked at Su Dingfang who could control their life and death at close range.

Su Dingfang shook off the blood stains on the spear, and said with a kind smile: "Su Dingfang, the general of the right Xiaowei in the Tang Dynasty, was ordered by Luo Shixin, the general of the Youzhou marching army, to attack Yuyang and save you by the way." You wait a while, and after I take Yuyang, I will release you. ”

The people looked at each other, first confused, but saw that the soldiers treated them very kindly, and their hearts were also very peaceful.

Su Ding begged the people for coats, and asked hundreds of people to pull off the military uniforms of the Yan Army of Gao Kaidao and put them on.

The soldiers' cloaks and disheveled clothes were not much different from those of the down-and-out people.

Leaving a hundred people to watch the people's horses, lest the people panic when they leave, exposing their intentions to spoil their big things, Su Dingfang personally pretended to be an officer escorting the people, and rushed to Yuyang City in a grand manner.

Since the plundering of the south, there have been people escorting people into the city every once in a while. Although the lookout soldiers on the city tower dutifully saw Su Dingfang and his group, they didn't pay too much attention to it, and let them approach slowly without any precautions.

It wasn't until more than 1,000 people marched to the city gate that the soldiers guarding the gate noticed something unusual and asked Su Dingfang about his identity.

Before he could agree, Su Dingfang was already about to stab him with a sword.

Looking at the bloody hole in his chest, the soldiers at the city gate fell down the moat unwillingly.

More than 1,000 soldiers attacked together at close range, and the tea kung fu entered the city gate, and the Yan army defending the city had no time to react, and controlled the south gate of Yuyang with a harmless effect, and washed away the resistance in Yuyang City at the lowest cost, and took over the control of Yuyang.

"Haha, Zhonglang beat the adults beautifully! I, Meng Chao, was convinced. "Meng Chao, the lieutenant general of the Xuan Ge Army, was originally very dissatisfied with Su Dingfang, and felt that this guy relied on Luo Shixin's relationship to lead the arduous task of attacking Yuyang, but he was timid and afraid to shrink into the mountain col and did not do practical things. I didn't know until now that people were in the chest.

Su Dingfang smiled calmly and said: "General Meng Lang, you will divide your subordinates into five groups of people, and go to the granary, east, west, north and south four gates respectively, leaving only our grain for ten days, and the others are burned, and the city gate is also demolished and burned down." ”

"Ahh Meng Chao screamed in surprise and the whole person was stunned, what kind of order is this? They came from afar, and there was little food left, and to defend Yuyang, they needed to rely on the grain and grass in the city and the fortification of the city, but now the grain was burned, and the city gate was destroyed, how can this be guarded? The brain let the donkey kick? I didn't dare to receive the order for a while, and hurriedly said: "Yuyang is Gao Kaidao's lair, and when I learned that Yuyang had fallen, Gao Kaidao would definitely withdraw his troops to attack at the first time." There is no food and no danger, and the troops are also insufficient, how can this be fought? ”

Su Dingfang smiled mysteriously: "Who said that if you attack Yuyang, you must guard Yuyang, our target is Snake Pan Valley." ”

**********

Xi Gao Kaidao coalition army.

Xi Wang Ah Huiruo's expression is irritated now, his brows are twisted together, and he regrets not listening to Gao Kaidao's words in his heart. He thought that the Tang soldiers were vulnerable, and the 1,500 guards of the small Gu'an County could solve it in three or two strokes......

As a result, the battle situation was far beyond his expectations, and the 1,500 defenders resisted extremely stubbornly.

The 50,000-strong army attacked in turns, and Ren resisted all night, fighting to the last soldier, directly making them pay more than three times the price of casualties. What he couldn't stand the most was that his youngest son was shot by a stray arrow in the battle and died.

Ah Huiru was furious and also gave the order to slaughter the city, even so, it was still difficult to relieve the fire in his heart. How can the cheap life of the people of a small county be compared to his beloved youngest son. The joy of the success of this raid was also consumed by this last battle.

The rest of the Xi chieftains did not speak, so as not to anger Ah Huiruo.

Gao Kaidao also frowned on the side, thinking that he would never invade with the Xi clan next time. Although he didn't care about the life and death of the people, he cared about Li Tang's anger. Yuyang, where he is located, contacts Li Tang, and if he is not careful, he will play with fire and set himself on fire.

At this moment, a horse galloped over, "King Yan, Luo Shixin led the mighty Tang soldiers to catch up, just twenty miles behind us. ”

Gao Kaidao's expression changed greatly, and he shouted in a low voice: "It's so fast!" ”

Ah Huiruo's expression also changed, and now they were fully loaded, and they didn't want to stop and fight a battle with Luo Shixin with unknown victories and defeats, so they forcibly suppressed their feelings and said: "Let's go faster, don't let Tang Bing catch up." ”

Gao Kaidao had this intention and hurriedly ordered to speed up.

After only ten miles, the bad news came again, and the remnants of the soldiers who escaped from Yuyang told Gao Kaidao the news of the fall of Yuyang.

"Tang General Su Dingfang led 2,000 cavalry to attack Yuyang, and Yuyang has fallen."

Gao Kaidao exclaimed in surprise, and the whole person shuddered, and fear was born from his heart: he relied on Yuyang's special geographical advantage to hug the Turks' thighs, and only with the support of the Turks could he occupy a place in this troubled world. Yuyang is gone, and he has no value in his high opening path.

Ah Huiruo's expression also became solemn and solemn, and he secretly thought: "The Tang Army is really not to be underestimated!" Yuyang fell, the way back was blocked, and Li Tang's army followed, this is closing the door and catching the fox! ”

Gao Kaidao was also a brave man, and shouted angrily: "Tang soldiers attacked Yuyang, there are definitely not many soldiers, we should go straight to Yuyang, counterattack Yuyang back, and ensure that King Xi's return is unimpeded." ”

"Huh!" Ah Hui squinted and smiled: "King Yan said that he laughed, this road is not passable, and there is still the Snake Pan Valley, although it is difficult to walk, it can still be walked." There is no need to care about this, there are more than 10,000 male soldiers under the command of King Yan, and it is more than enough to deal with the Tang soldiers who attacked Yuyang by surprise. We won't bother King Yan on our way home. ”

"King Xi!" Gao Kaidao's big face turned the color of pig liver, and he forcibly endured his crazy anger, and said coldly: "King Xi's unloading and killing donkeys is too unauthentic, who will lead you into Kou Youzhou in the future?" ”

What Gao Kaidao relies on is Yuyang, without Yuyang, Ah Huiruo is not afraid of tearing his face with the other party, and he also said in a cold voice: "This is waiting for you to recapture Yuyang, without Yuyang, what kind of Yan King are you." There are tigers in front and wolves in the back, maybe you really have a chance to be Yuyang. When that day comes, I will come again to make amends to King Yan. As he spoke, he laughed three times and shouted, "Turn around and go to the Snake Valley." ”

Ah Hui Rou Li also ignored Gao Kaidao.

The other four Xi chiefs looked at Gao Kaidao's face as if watching a play, and offered sincere blessings: "Come on!" "Look after you!" "Counterattack back to Yuyang, and give you a big gift."

Who of them doesn't know that the current situation in Yuyang has a surprise attack army, and there are 50,000 troops behind him, even if they fight all their soldiers and horses, they may not be able to take Yuyang. What's more, their army came to seek wealth, and now they are making a lot of money, and every horse is carrying a lot of money. In this case, with the fruits of victory, returning to the grassland safely and securely is the first priority, why risk fighting with the Tang Army for the sake of Gao Kaidao without Yuyang?

Silly!

is not stupid, so King Xi Ah Huiru took all the soldiers and horses to the Shepan Valley very sensibly.

Gao Kaidao looked at the separated Xi soldiers and horses, and wanted to cry without tears!! (To be continued......)
