When Wansheng's cry sounded, the Khitans in front of them were stunned, and the fatigue of a day and a night had made them too lazy to move.
Li Chongjiu's cavalry rushed away like a landslide and tsunami, and the Khitans, under the urging of several leaders, reluctantly got up and picked up the swords and guns around them to resist. The cavalry of the Sui army ran over, the horizontal knives in their hands flew quickly, and several Khitans pounced on the ground with the blood sprayed from their throats.
The Khitan people's first-line resistance barely resisted, that is, it was broken, and the dozens of Khitans in the outer periphery were like tissue paper, only slightly resisted, and they were pierced. Dozens of Khitans were instantly overwhelmed by the Sui cavalry that kept surging up, as if they were swept by a monstrous wave, and they were not topped in an instant, and not even a single slag was missing.
The Khitan head man stationed here is named Mo Da, who is in his fifties, and when he was young, he killed wolves and tigers, and he is a well-known hero in the Khitan Department within a hundred miles, but now the years are not forgiving. He knew that if he didn't stop the sudden momentum of the Sui army, and wait for the Khitans in the rear to react, then it wouldn't take long for the Khitan army in the entire valley to be defeated. At that moment, he roared, beckoned his eight sons, ordered the youngest one to let him run quickly, and more than a dozen uncles and nephews of the clan, and immediately stepped towards the head-on, overwhelming Han army cavalry rushed over.
Mo Da's chest was tattooed with a wolf's head, and the mace in his hand was raised to the sky, and the oncoming Han cavalry smashed the skull of the horse's head with a stick, like smashing a watermelon, and the horse's head was completely shattered. But before the horseman fell to the ground, he slashed into the neck. The cavalry behind him did not even make a move, but the cavalry horse head knocked over, or died under the knife, more than a dozen Khitan resistance slightly slowed down the Han cavalry, but it was not fundamentally changed, and the Khitans' last counterattack instantly came to naught.
Seeing that even the always brave Mo Daba father and son were dead, the Khitan people in the valley couldn't care about anything, so they shouted and fled to the mountains in all directions. Li Chongjiu's cavalry took advantage of the momentum to chase after him, and behind the Khitan, he stabbed him in the back, which was as easy as a grass cutter. The screams came and went in the valley, and the Khitan people in the tent had just heard the sound of horses' hooves, and as soon as their heads were exposed to the tent, a head was harvested into the sky. In a short period of time, the Khitan people in the valley were already hugging their heads and running around, "Don't stop, burn the tents, and if you can't take away the horses, cattle, sheep, and livestock, you will all be hacked to death, and the carts will also be destroyed!" ”
Li Chongjiu waved his sword and shouted orders to his subordinates, and the cavalry of the Cangtou Army carried out Li Chongjiu's orders without hesitation. When the tents are burned, the Khitans will not be able to avoid the strong winds on the steppe day and night, they will not get a good rest, they will descend without the power of horses, and if there are no cattle, they will have no animal power to pull the carts, and they will kill the sheep and let the Khitans cut off food to help.
Li Chongjiu led the cavalry to plunder in the valley, and took advantage of the situation to pursue and expand the results of the battle, the cavalry scattered all over the mountains, killing the Khitans is a river of blood, corpses and bones piled up. When Dahe Duluo led tens of thousands of Khitan troops to come back to help, Li Chongjiu sounded the horn and ordered his subordinates to retreat quickly. When Dahe Duluo arrived in the valley, Li Chongjiu's result was that he killed thousands of Khitans, and killed countless cattle, sheep and horses.
When Dahe Duluo wanted to take revenge, Li Chongjiu's cavalry had already relied on abundant horsepower and ran away. Looking at the corpses of the people everywhere, as well as the cattle and sheep and horses that were killed, Dahe Duluo's eyes were split. In the past, when he led the Khitans to fight with various tribes, although he often won and lost, he had never seen such a cunning and ruthless opponent.
"This is to cut off the roots of our Khitans, Han dog, I am inseparable from you!" Ohga Tara tugged at his hair.
On the second day, Yinghefu and Wang Mahan cavalry pursued again, each with its own gains, killing and wounding hundreds of Khitans, burning more than a dozen carts of grain, the Khitans did not dare to fight, and continued to retreat to the northeast after the double anti-entanglement, and Li Chongjiu led the army again before dusk, but it was when the Khitans buried the pot and made rice. The battle is the same as yesterday, the Khitan people are tired and tired, when they see Li Chongjiu's cavalry appear from the river, although the Khitan people have made some resistance, but the whole army is too tired, they can be defeated by Li Chongjiu again, thousands of Khitan were chased and killed by the Han cavalry, the Khitan people ran violently, running so much that the blood spurted out of their noses and mouths, and many people were tired to death.
In this battle, hundreds of Khitan tents were captured, and a Khitan member was killed. When Daga Duluo saw this scene, he hung his feet and cried.
On the third day, the Khitans had retreated to less than 200 miles away from Wuhou Qinshui, and in the past two days, Li Chongjiu had won six battles and six victories, leaving the Khitan people with no face. This time, Oga Tara was finally furious. On this day, he led 20,000 Khitan cavalry to lay in an ambush in a valley, waiting for Li Chongjiu's cavalry to enter their ambush circle, and then annihilated them in a battle. Dahe Duluo was confident that when it came to real field warfare, the Han people were by no means the opponents of the Khitans, and the Han people would only have some small tricks of night raids and harassment.
On this day, Dahe Duluo can be said to be looking through the autumn water, while the Khitans were ambushed in the mountains and forests, motionless for a whole day, but after waiting for a day, they didn't even see half a figure of the Han army. Could it be that the Han army withdrew, just when Dahe Duluo thought so, at dusk, he suddenly got a message that Li Chongjiu's Han cavalry unexpectedly joined forces, bypassed the valley where they were ambushed, and then caught up with the front of the Khitan army at noon. After that, the Han cavalry brazenly attacked the Khitans.
Hearing this, Dahe Drashi was shocked, and immediately rushed to the place where the front army was located with his subordinates who had been bitten by mosquitoes in the mountains and forests during the day, and when they arrived quickly, the battle was over, and the Han army retreated to the battlefield. As he saw at dusk, the slope of the hill had turned into a large scorched area, and it was conceivable that Li Chongjiu must have led his army to break through the camp, and then set a fire to attack it. The surrounding trees are scorching and blazing, and thousands of camp tents on the side are burned, it is a scorched black, the corpses of the Khitan people are one in the east and one in the west, some of the corpses are still burning on them, goshawks hovering on them, waiting to eat human bones, and cattle and sheep are slaughtered in large quantities, and they are all over the place. The rest of the Khitans were all panicked and depressed, and when they saw the arrival of Dahe Duluo, they all sat on the ground together and cried.
This is simply miserable to the extreme, I don't know how many years, when the Khitan people have been like this, in the past, when the Northern Qi attacked the Khitan, although the Khitan was also defeated very badly, but it was not so miserable. After all, Northern Qi is a big country with hundreds of thousands of elites, and Gao Yang at that time was also a violent king who killed people without blinking, and it was just a matter of the Khitan defeat in his hands, but it was this Li Chongjiu. All the troops of the other side together were less than 10,000 people, but they defeated the 80,000 Khitan army.
On the fourth and fifth days, Li Chongjiu fought with the Khitan again, won all the six battles, and won all the battles, and after the fight, the Khitans were almost frightened, without any will to fight, almost ran away when they saw the traces of the Han cavalry, a team of more than a dozen Han cavalry, and even dared to chase and kill hundreds, hundreds of Khitans. These hundreds of Khitans watched as their companions were cut down from behind by the Han cavalry one after another, but at this time, no one thought of resisting, just ran forward. They ran out of strength, ran so much that blood spurted from their mouths and noses, and the last one was killed under the sword of the Han army, and hundreds of people were buried on the grassland, and in five days, hundreds of miles from Yuyi Town to Wuhou Qinshui, the blood corpses of the Khitan people paved the road inch by inch.
The Khitan Khan Dahe Duluo sent people to Li Chongjiu's camp to sue for peace, but at this time Li Chongjiu categorically refused. Refusal means to fight again!
On the fifth day, seeing that Li Chongjiu rejected the proposal for peace, Dahe Duluo simply set up all the Khitan troops on the edge of the Wuhou Qin River, lined up with their backs, and sent a letter to fight Li Chongjiu, Li Chongjiu refused again, but led the army to set up a large camp seven miles away from the Khitan army to confront it.
During the three-day confrontation, the Khitans fought every day, but Li Chongjiu just didn't fight. Daga Dura was furious and sent an envoy to Li Chongjiu's tent again. Not long after, the envoy returned to the Khitan camp with a blue nose and swollen face, and was originally beaten. Seeing this, Ohga Tara anxiously asked how it was.
The envoy bowed his head helplessly and said, I asked the Han people, what do they want, if they want to fight, they will fight happily with our Khitans, if not, the two sides will make peace, and never point their bows and arrows at each other again. As a result, the Han people said, you Khitan Great Khan, give me two roads for war and peace, then I will also give you two roads for the Khitan tribe.
"Those two roads?" Ohga Tara asked anxiously.
"Descend or die!"
Dahe Luo looked up to the sky and roared: "Arrogant, I have lived on the grassland all my life, and I have never seen such a person, his ambition is simply greater than that of Changshengtian. ”
Dahe Duluo was so angry that he trembled, but at this time, some subordinates persuaded him to lead his army to cross Wuhou Qinshui overnight. But Oga Tara refused, fearing that when he crossed the river, it would be terrible if the Han army came to attack him halfway. Just when Dahe Duluo didn't know why Li Chongjiu hesitated, there was a shocking news at this time, the Murde Xi Division, which had originally subdued the Khitan, and the other Hu people all rebelled and surrendered to the Han army.
It turned out that in the past three days, after Li Chongjiu arrived in Wuhou Qinshui, he secretly sent Etuo and Yinghefu to lobby in all directions, saying that the original subdued the Khitan Murde Xi Division, and other Khitan Hu people came to vote. In an instant, Li Chongjiu actually won tens of thousands of troops. Hearing this, Dahe Duluo's whole body was cold from top to bottom, and his heart seemed to be about to end the Khitan tribe.
