Chapter 372: The End of the Post-Turkic Journey (Part II)
Wu Chu led the Chinese army to advance slowly, but not slowly. When the scouts came to report that Xue Ne's front army had engaged the Turkic rear battalion, Wu Zhai was afraid that Xue Ne would make a mistake, so he ordered Guo Yuanzhen and Xu Qinming to lead the Wu Wei army to go first and answer Xue Ne.
The two were overjoyed, and after receiving the order, they immediately stepped up the marching speed, and the border army had many cavalry, so nearly 10,000 soldiers in the Wuwei army were cavalry. Guo Yuanzhen and Xu Qinming felt the trust of the King of Wei in them, so they urged 10,000 cavalry to gallop, and the marching speed was a little faster than usual.
When you go to Baishikou, you will see from a distance that there are soldiers holding torches to fight together, among them there is a tiger general is extremely brave, killing all directions, a spear in his hand makes it superb, where it passes, there is no general.
Guo Yuanzhen sighed: "That tiger general must be General Xue Ne, he is really too brave!" ”
Xu Qinming also couldn't stop but praised: "There are such fierce generals under the command of King Wei, why worry that the Turks will not be destroyed, the Khitan will not be peaceful, and the Tubo will not be defeated!" Yuan Zhen, you are a military general, so you will lead the army to kill it first, right? ”
Guo Yuanzhen almost didn't scold, but he still didn't show it on his face, but pondered a little, and said: "Now that the two armies are fighting each other, our army rashly participates in the war, maybe it will make General Xue Ne misunderstand, it is better for us to make a detour and attack from behind the Turks, first, the Turks will think that they are reinforcing them, and second, they can also sneak attack the Turks and annihilate this Turkic army in one fell swoop." What do you think? ”
Xu Qinming laughed and said, "This plan is good, just rely on Yuanzhen." He turned his horse's head and shouted, "Extinguish the torches." Take a detour to the big riser! ”
Immediately, 10,000 Wuwei troops extinguished their torches and marched in the direction of the big riser. This area is more familiar with the Wuwei Army, and has been walked through more than once. Moreover, there were mostly locals in the Wuwei army, and most of the generals settled in Liangzhou, so they were almost familiar with the road, and soon passed through several small villages and ran along the trail to the big riser.
In just a few moments, 10,000 Wuwei troops came to Daqiaokou and immediately lit torches. Rushing towards the White Stone Mouth. (Damaokouzi and Baishikou are both mountain passes that extend from deep mountain valleys, and there are many such terrains in the northwest area.) )
The big riser and the white stone mouth are only ten miles apart. And so it was a moment. The Turks thought it was their own people, so they didn't pay attention to it at all, and still fought with the Zhou soldiers, after such a long time of fighting. Half of these 5,000 Great Zhou soldiers are left. And already completely surrounded by them! It was only a matter of time before they were slaughtered.
Although Guo Yuanzhen had practiced martial arts, after all, he was still not as good as those generals who went into battle to kill the enemy, he still pulled out his long sword, grabbed ahead of Xu Qinming, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
Immediately, the Wuwei army shouted and killed the Turkic soldiers. Xu Qinming slandered for a while, he didn't give orders yet, you joined the army and gave orders. He was really angry with him, but Xu Qinming didn't dare to do anything. Guo Yuanzhen is the king of Wei's person, and he is not yet, so when he should endure it, he has to endure it.
The two watched the army rush up, Guo Yuanzhen hugged his fists to Xu Qinming, and also yelled to kill. Although Xu Qinming was not powerless, he was born after all, so he had to follow slowly, which can be regarded as a repression.
The Turks did not expect that the "own people" would actually kill themselves, and when dozens of Turkic soldiers fell under the butcher's knife of "their own people", they saw clearly that it was the Zhou soldiers behind them!
Could it be that the Khan's tooth tent was broken through by the Zhou soldiers? Otherwise, why would so many Zhou soldiers come at once?
The Su zhì that the Wuwei army practiced on weekdays was manifested at this time, and they attacked separately and together, and immediately broke the encirclement of the Turks. After Xue Ne and the other generals saw it, they suddenly lifted their spirits, and Xue Ne shouted: "It is His Highness who sent someone to pick up our brothers, brothers, kill me, kill, long live the Great Zhou!" ”
There were less than 3,000 Zhou soldiers left and shouted and fought back. Xue Ne was even more unstoppable, the spear was in his hand, as if he was out of a god, and with a smash and a sweep, several Turkic soldiers fell, blood splashed, and the head smashed by a shot flew out of the distance and smashed in the middle of the Turkic soldiers, and the Turkic soldiers rioted, and the morale of the Great Zhou soldiers suddenly rose to a height.
At this time, Wu Chu led the army to pass through Panhe County, the city of Panhe County is dilapidated, and it is located in Hexi, which has been plundered by the Later Turks several times, so it is very poor, and the population is only more than 300 households, which is much less than the large villages in the Central Plains.
Wu Chu didn't have time to ask Fanhe County, so he went directly towards Baishikou, and the speed of the march was also much faster.
Half an hour later, the army arrived at Baishikou, and when they saw the Turks and the Great Zhou army fighting together, Wu Chu shouted: "Beat the drums, cheer, and annihilate the Turks!" ”
The generals shouted, accompanied by the sound of rumbling war drums, and slaughtered into the war group, the Great Zhou soldiers had a new force, the Turkic soldiers were immediately suppressed, and the Turkic soldiers were also red-eyed, relying on their personal bravery to raise their knives and slash at a Great Zhou soldier, but then they were poked to death by more than two Zhou soldiers on horseback, and some Turkic soldiers were even surrounded and cut by four or five people, and finally they opened their eyes angrily and did not bat their eyes. Such a scene can be seen everywhere, Wu Chu is riding on a horse, and behind him is an army of 30,000, pressing for the fighting Great Zhou soldiers. Of course, Wu Chu also had no choice, and there was not much place left for fighting in the entire canyon, so they could only watch the battle.
Wu Chu said slowly: "The individual bravery of the Turkic soldiers is far better than that of my Great Zhou soldiers, so when you lead the army in the future, you must pay attention to the training of personal force and the cooperation between the soldiers, understandable?" ”
"The last general will understand!" The generals bowed and agreed.
An hour later, the battle ended, and Wu Chuan ordered men to clean up the battlefield.
Xue Ne ran to Wu Chu covered in blood, knelt down on one knee, and said: "The last general will lose thousands of soldiers and horses, and His Royal Highness will send troops to rescue, please punish Your Highness." ”
Wu Shu paused and said slowly: "It's not right to rush into the enemy camp rashly, and let thousands of soldiers be defeated, this mistaken move is very strict." Do you know that life is only once for everyone, and we should revere life, and nothing is more precious than life. As a general, you must know how to cherish the lives of soldiers, because every soldier is the most valuable treasure of my Great Zhou. Money is gone, there is money to be earned, and the lives of soldiers are gone. That will be gone forever. ”
Then Wu Chu said in a deep voice: "Wait until later, remember that those who treat the lives of soldiers as child's play, but there is merit." This king will punish him severely. ”
Xue Ne's heart was cold, so he hurriedly offered a human head and said, "Your Highness, this is the head of Ashid Yuanzhen that the last general cut off!" ”
Wu Chu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Yes, Ashid Yuanzhen is the Later Turkic Abodagan, and he is an important minister of the Later Turks. In that year, the king conquered the clouds. Killed Ashide Yuanzhen, but this guy escaped too fast and didn't catch it. I don't want to die in the hands of my General Da Zhou after more than ten years, is this not providential? ”
The generals immediately flattered a few words, and Wu Zheng looked at Xue Ne. said, "Okay." You just get up, remember what this king said, I will remember the credit for killing Ashid Yuanzhen, but the fault of losing soldiers and generals will also be remembered by this king. Order the army, keep moving, tonight, this king will let Mo Du run away with his tail between his legs like a dog! ”
Leaving the logistics engineers to clean up the battlefield, the rest of the nearly 90,000 soldiers quickly galloped slowly towards the Turkic tent.
Silent tooth tent. The tooth tent is located outside the ruins of the original ancient city. The ancient city of Gaogu was established as Yanzhi County several decades ago and abolished during the reign of Gaozong. There are only a few small villages here. Located at the southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain, thanks to the snow of Yanzhi Mountain, the women here are very smart, so after Mo Du set up camp, he asked soldiers to grab some women back.
At this time, in Mo Du's gold-topped felt tent, Mo Du was venting his dissatisfaction with Da Zhou, and the two women were naked and sobbing in a low voice. After venting, Mo Du was furious, "Pull it out, cut it!" ”
A flash of hatred flashed in the eyes of the two women, but fate left them to die under the butcher's knife of the Turks.
It was also at this time that a Turkic soldier hurried over and shouted: "Khan, the Great Zhou soldiers are coming, go quickly!" ”
Mo Du was not wearing an inch on his body, and when he was seen by the soldiers, Mo Du couldn't help but be furious, and he drew his knife and cut the soldier. In fact, it stands to reason that the Turks have a tradition of worshipping that thing, but Mo Du's thing is black and crooked, and it is really not very good-looking, and he can only kill him when he sees the surprise in the soldier's eyes.
"Kill!"
After a series of shouts, the Great Zhou cavalry rushed into the camp, set fire everywhere, and Mo Du couldn't help but be shocked, shouting: "Come on, put armor on Ben Khan!" ”
But no one answered, and the soldiers had already fled!
Seeing that no one agreed, Mo Du turned to the two women and said sharply in Da Zhou: "You, give me, wear armor, and I will spare it, you, understand?" ”
The two women looked at the blood beads still dripping from the scimitar, and quickly nodded their heads again and again. He didn't dare to get dressed, so he hurriedly walked over, took his middle coat and armor, and put it on for Mo Du. Although the two women didn't know what was going on outside, something must have happened, and this Turkic khan was so anxious that it was urgent to see that the matter was urgent, so he made a heart and eye and hit a live buckle in the key part, as long as he used force, he would break free.
Wearing armor is also a technical job, and for the two women who have never worn armor before, they are very clumsy, but after half a cup of tea, they are still fully dressed. When he was dressed neatly, Mo Du casually stabbed one person and one person, and then snorted coldly and walked out of the camp.
However, immediately a spear pierced his throat, and he stared at a general in silver armor with his eyes open, and a cooing syllable seemed to come out of his throat, and he lost his breath.
Wu Shu pulled out the head of the gun and looked at Mo Du in a daze, he didn't expect it to be so coincidental, he originally just wanted to see if there was anyone in this golden tent, but he didn't expect one person to come out, so he shot casually and stabbed him to death.
Shaking his head, Wu Chuan picked up the tent curtain with a shot, but saw two naked women lying in a pool of blood, Wu Zi opened his eyes, his lips seemed to move, Wu Chuan quickly dismounted, entered the felt tent, approached his mouth, and only heard two words.
"Thank you!"
Immediately ran out of breath, an inexplicable sadness flashed in Wu Chu's heart, if these two women held on for a while, they would not have died, but it seemed that fate was like this, and they were finally killed in the hands of the Turkic Khan. Then he stretched out his hand and closed the eyes of the two women, got up and left the felt tent.
cut off Modu's head, and ordered the guards who had rushed to his side to find a pole to pick it up, so that the Turkic soldiers could see that the Turkic Khan was dead, and they still wanted to fight again?
The effect was obvious, and when the first soldier saw the head of the silent man, he immediately fell to his knees and begged to surrender, followed by the second, and the third, until nearly thirteen thousand five hundred and forty-three.
When the sun gradually rose, there were no Turkic soldiers in the Turkic camps. There were scorch marks everywhere, only the golden tent of the Turkic Khan was intact, and Wu Zheng was ready to present this golden tent and the banner of King Mura to the empress, if the empress did not want it, he was ready to collect it himself, and after a thousand years, his antique collection would probably be an astronomical price.
Officials such as the Records of the Army and Changshi came one by one, reported the battle damage and harvest, beheaded more than 21,000 people, captured more than 13,400 people, seized a total of more than 58,000 cattle and sheep, and more than 67,000 war horses, of which nearly 10,000 war horses were estimated to be ordinary means of transportation, and there were only 3,000 tents, most of which were burned.
Overall, it was a good one.
Mo Du was destroyed, and the Later Turks were completely finished, Wu Chu finally felt relieved in his heart, but he didn't know if the Tongluo and Servant Bone clans could stop the angry Turkic soldiers, and hoped that Guo Zhiyun and Tang Xiujing would march faster. (To be continued......)
