"Ignorance, understood!"

Su Honghui clenched his fists and petitioned: "I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the headquarters to pursue the Khitan deserters." ”

Lou Shide knew that he wanted to make meritorious service to atone for his sins, and he didn't embarrass him, so he nodded happily and said, "Then please General Su!"

Su Honghui immediately led 30,000 Tang troops to the north and recovered Miyun that night, but he continued to march day and night, catching up with the Khitan rear army at noon the next day, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides on the grassland north of Miyun.

After passing directly through Yanshan from Miyun, the north is the vast grassland, and then you can go directly to Liaodong to the east, and to the northeast is to Raolezhou, and through Raolezhou is the Khitan's old nest Song Desert Governor's Mansion.

After the Khitan army left Miyun, it was scattered, and their respective tribes returned to their hometowns day and night, and the news of the Turkic attack on the rear had already spread throughout the Khitan tribes, and everyone was anxious, at this time, the idea of seizing the wealth and women of the Tang Dynasty had long been forgotten, and everyone was worried about their wives and children, and they wanted to fly north.

The Khitan army of 120,000 people was hit twice in a row, the military heart has long been scattered, Sun Wanrong and Yi Yiyu led more than 20,000 people of the tribe to flee north in a hurry, Sun Wanrong has heard the news that the Tang army caught up with the rear army, more than 10,000 rear army was annihilated, the Tang army of 200,000 troops was in hot pursuit, and the tribes that could not escape were annihilated one by one, Sun Wanrong was flustered, and led the army to flee north desperately, and did not dare to stop and rest.

Two days later, he led the army into Raolezhou, which was the territory of the Xi people, and saw the wide Luanshui in the distance ahead, Sun Wanrong was a little relieved, and ordered the army to rest on the spot, waiting for the infantry led by Yi Yuyi to catch up.

The Khitan cavalry dismounted one after another, led the horses to Luanshui to drink, and took out dried meat and mare's milk wine to fill their stomachs, many soldiers were tired and exhausted, fell asleep on the ground, Sun Wanrong sat on a grass, while eating dry food, while looking at the surrounding terrain.

They are located in a gentle hilly grassland area, dozens of miles to the south is the towering Yan Mountain, the width of more than ten zhang Luanshui is like a jade belt meandering between the hills, this area Sun Wanrong is not very familiar with, but he suddenly realized a very real problem, how should they cross the Luanshui?

The Khitans used sheepskin rafts to cross the river, but now that their sheepskin rafts were left behind, and they had no means to cross the river, did they still have to go north to bypass Luanshui? That meant they had to walk hundreds of miles more.

Sun Wanrong only felt a headache, usually a very simple question, but now it actually stumped him, he immediately got up and looked south, he hoped to see a forest, and then cut wood to cross the river.

But he didn't see a single tree, but dozens of miles away was Yan Mountain, and at the foot of Yan Mountain should be a large forest, at this time, Yi Yu Yan led thousands of infantry to arrive out of breath.

"Khan!"

Yi Yu shouted: "There is a forest twenty miles to the south, we need to cut down wood to cross the river!"

Sun Wanrong was worried about this matter, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army gets on the horse and goes to the south to cross the river!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of his own soldiers suddenly pointed to the south and shouted in horror, "Khan, there are enemy troops!"

Sun Wanrong turned his head, and he was suddenly frightened, only to see a large group of cavalry appear on a grassy hill about two miles to the south, with thousands of people on the ground, and a huge Tang Army flag was erected in the middle, Sun Wanrong shouted loudly: "Retreat quickly!"

This cavalry is the 5,000 cavalry led by Li Zhen, they have been waiting for the defeated Khitan army to retreat eastward, and he also knows that the Turkic army is attacking the Khitan lair, so the Khitan will withdraw soon.

Li Zhen got the information provided by the Xi people and waited by the Luanshui River, which the Khitan must pass, but he didn't expect that the first defeated army he was waiting for was Sun Wanrong's army.

Li Zhen looked coldly at the panicked Khitan soldiers, he waved his hand, and the low horn sounded immediately, the Tang army's war drums sounded like thunder, and Li Zhen gave the order to attack.

"Kill!"

He waved his sword, galloped his horse, and personally led five thousand elite cavalry to sweep down from the grassy hills, shouting and killing to the sky, the war horses galloped, and the horses' hooves rolled, like a strong wind under the dark clouds, swept towards the Khitan army two miles away.

At this time, the Khitan cavalry was in a mess, and they had no will to resist at all, they could not find their own horses, and many people jumped on other people's horses and fled.

Yi Yu saw that the situation was not good, the army's spirit had collapsed, and he could no longer resist, so he immediately shouted to Sun Wanrong: "Khan, it's too late to resist, retreat north quickly, otherwise, we will all die here." ”

Sun Wanrong's face turned pale, but he was really unwilling, he had 20,000 troops, and the other party only had a few thousand, he rode his war horse and shouted: "The cavalry is assembled on the left and right flanks, meet me!"

Yi Yu saw that Sun Wanrong still had to resist, he no longer persuaded him, turned the horse's head and ran away, dozens of guards surrounded him and desperately fled north,

The 2,000 left troops led by He Yan Bashou took the lead in the Khitan infantry group, slaughtering and impacting the infantry group like a devastating force, and instantly overwhelmed a large number of soldiers.

The morale of the Khitan army has been lost, and the Tang army was defeated in a battle, the chaotic infantry formation collapsed first, and then the cavalry formation could not resist the sharp impact of the cavalry on the right flank of the Tang army, and finally collapsed, and the rout of the two armies of the infantry and cavalry made the Khitan army defeated like a mountain.

"Kill!"

The Tang army's shouts shook the sky, their morale was greatly boosted, and they chased the enemy army to cover up and kill, and the defeated soldiers who were crushed by the black pressure were fleeing for their lives, they trampled on each other, suffocated, and trampled to death.

At this time, Zhang Li led a thousand cavalry to bypass the enemy army and cut off the Khitan army's retreat in the north.

And not far from the east is Luanshui, the river is about ten zhang wide, there is no bridge and no ferry by the river, the defeated soldiers have nowhere to escape, they have jumped into the river and swimmed.

Most of the Khitan army did not know the nature of the water, countless people drowned in the river, the corpses actually blocked the river, the human pillow, the corpses piled up like a mountain, it became a bridge of corpses several zhang long, the defeated soldiers behind stepped on the corpses of their companions, trying to run to the other side, but they also fell into the river, only to hear groans, screams, and cries, everything was like madness, horror and chaos.

Li Zhen's Tang cavalry had no time to accept the surrender of the Khitan army, they hated and ruthlessly slaughtered the defeated soldiers, the Khitan army just ran desperately, and the vast grassland was full of scattered Khitan routs, but they couldn't escape far, and they were chased and surrounded by the Tang cavalry.

At this time, Li Zhen gave the order to surrender, "Accept the surrender of the enemy, and those who resist will be killed!" The Tang army began to accept the surrender, so that the Khitan army found a way to live, and in the end, most of the desperate Khitan army had to kneel and kowtow and beg for mercy,

But after Sun Wanrong commanded the army to resist, he sneaked away, and Li Zhen personally led two thousand elite cavalry to chase after Sun Wanrong, and they quickly whipped their horses and galloped in the howling wind.

About half an hour later, more than a dozen small boats appeared in front, and the small boats used by the merchants to cross the river at that time were grabbed by the Khitan army at this time.

The bank of the river was already crowded with people, this is another small Khitan tribe deserters, about 2,000 people, they learned that there was a Tang army in the south, panicked, thousands of people wanted to cross the river from here to escape.

The west bank of Luanshui was full of war horses abandoned by their masters, more than a dozen small boats were crowded with soldiers fleeing for their lives, two small boats capsized in the river due to overload, and nearly a hundred soldiers were swept into the bottom of the river by a huge whirlpool.

Yi Yu sat on the first boat, he and dozens of his own soldiers were lucky to cross the Luanshui, and fled eastward when they went ashore, they longed to be entertained by the Xi people, but he did not know that the son of the king of Xi Li Pidi was in the hands of Li Zhen, and Li Pidi was worried that there was no good gift for Li Zhen in exchange for his own son.

At this time, 2,000 Tang cavalry came overwhelmingly, the Khitan soldiers cried and shook the sky, the ships went off the shore one after another, rowing to the opposite bank, and the soldiers who did not get on the boat either surrendered on their knees or fled north along the river bank.

Thousands of Khitan soldiers knelt on the riverbank, Li Zhen was anxious, if Sun Wanrong was not here, it was likely that he would have crossed the river and fled, if Sun Wanrong could not be caught, he would have lost this opportunity to make a great contribution in vain.

"Is Sun Wanrong here?" Li Zhen drew his sword and pointed at the Khitan prisoners of war who were kneeling on the ground and shouted angrily, and thousands of prisoners of war were silent.

At this time, Jiu Zhi shouted in a Khitan dialect he had just learned: "Whoever sacrifices Sun Wanrong will let him go home!"

Thousands of Khitan soldiers suddenly heard a slight commotion, and suddenly someone pointed to a few prisoners of war next to him with their heads bowed and shouted: "He's here!"

The group of prisoners of war was in an uproar, several prisoners of war jumped up and wanted to escape, Li Zhen pointed at his knife and shouted: "Take him down!"

Dozens of Tang soldiers rushed up and pushed these Khitan soldiers to the ground, and one of them scolded: "Li Zhen, you kind of kill me!"

The Tang soldiers beside Li Zhen immediately recognized this person and said to Li Zhen: "General, he is Sun Wanrong!"

Li Zhen was overjoyed in his heart, he urged the horse to step forward slowly, and said with a sneer: "You really deserve to die, Datang will definitely kill you, but not now, I want to exchange you for my career and wealth." ”

In the spring of the first year of the Long Live of the Tang Dynasty, the army of Sun Wanrong, the Khitan Khan who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, was completely defeated in Miyun under the joint blow of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

The eight Khitan tribes no longer recognized Sun Wanrong's position as Khan, and each withdrew its troops, but was pursued by the 200,000 Tang troops led by Lou Shide, and tens of thousands of Khitan troops were wiped out.

And Sun Wanrong led 20,000 troops in Luanshui was ambushed by the cavalry led by the internal guard general Li Zhen, the Khitan army was defeated, more than 4,000 people were killed, and tens of thousands of surrendered people, Sun Wanrong was hidden among the prisoners of war, but was identified by his own soldiers, Sun Wanrong was captured by Li Zhen, and sent people to escort him back to Luoyang, in March, Wu Zetian decreed that Sun Wanrong, the Khitan enemy chieftain, was beheaded in Zhaozhou.

Another Khitan enemy chieftain Yiyu was killed by Emperor Li Pi, the king of Xi, and sent his head to the Tang army camp, so far, for more than half a year, the Khitan rebellion that burned to Hebei was finally quelled by the Tang army
