Section 373 The Eagle Rises Again
Nomu was confident about this, and he said, "Report the Great Khan, the Tubo people are menacing, and they must have been prepared." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe must not engage them immediately, we must first dampen their spirits. When the morale of the other army is exhausted, it will be broken in one fell swoop!"
"Oh?" Yelu Shilu's eyes flashed after hearing this, "This vast grassland is empty and lonely, and there is no terrain to rely on, what can General Nogi do to drag those Tibetan people to exhaustion?"
Nogi glanced at Liu Yu with malicious intent, "Only General Liu Yu can do this alone, he has studied the art of war under the Great Khan for three years, and the art of the imperial army has long been unpredictable. It is better for the Great Khan to send General Liu's right army up to fight the Tubo people first, and after the Tubo people are exhausted, we will wait for the army to follow General Liu to break the enemy in one fell swoop!"
After hearing this, Yelu Shilu groaned slightly, with his ingenuity, how could he not hear that this was a plan to kill people with a knife from Nogi. However, given the current situation of the war between the two armies, what Nogi said is indeed reasonable. Now the people of Tibet are in full swing, and there is no doubt that they will succeed in the battle with the other army. Therefore, it is necessary to send a force to drag the other army.
He was silent, leaning on his throne as the Khan King, and looked up in thought for a moment. He turned his eyes to look at Liu Yu, trying to ask about his intentions, and after seeing that young and dark face, a warmth arose in his heart, and then he changed his mind, and turned to look at Nogi, a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the boss looking at him, Nogi knew that something was wrong, could it be that he had set a trap for Liu Yu, but in the end he stepped on it himself? His face turned black and white, and he could only wait for the decree of the Great Khan, and the large beads of sweat on his forehead dripped down, and the ground in front of him suddenly became wet.
The Khitan nobles who were in cahoots with him saw the signs and got up one after another to ask the khan for his life.
"Khan, we have been fighting with General Nogi for many years, and without him taking us, we can't win the battle!"
"The humble general also holds the same opinion, with General Nogi sitting in the big tent, it is the guarantee of our army's victory, and General Nogi must not be allowed to go up and take risks!"
"General Nogi is loyal to the Great Khan, and he is a Khitan, so we all trust him, and it is best for him to be in charge of the overall situation. ”
After being questioned by the Khan before, Yeluxuan didn't dare to practice secretly at the conference, so he said faintly, "Or I'll go?"
For him, instead of staying in this big tent and suffocating someone, it is better to go out and kill and have a good time.
Everyone in the tent was silent, and no one dared to express their opinions, otherwise they would have the intention of framing the prince of Khan. If this is for the Khan to find out, with the Khan's ruthless methods, even if he doesn't settle the account today, it will be difficult to protect Qingqing's life in the future.
Yelu Shilu sighed, since Nogi was already unable to move, he could only choose between Yelu Xuan and Liu Yu. One is his own son, the other is a friend who has forgotten his year, and sending either one will make his heart ache. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, his gaze fell on Jerocho, as if he had an idea.
At this moment, Liu Yu stood up and broke the silence in the tent, "Khan, let me go!"
Yelu Shilu was silent for a moment, "General Liu, do you want to think again?"
"No need, just let me go, Khan!" Liu Yu got up to say goodbye and strode out of the sweat tent.
Yelu Shilu, since you treat me with sincerity, then I, Liu Yu, am by no means ungrateful and unrighteous, how can I bear to let you lose your son when you are old?
Nogi, today I am not defeated by your meanness, time goes by, you and I will finally have a time to compete!
Not long after Liu Yu left, Nogi respectfully walked up to Yelu Shilu, knelt on the ground, and behaved like the most loyal courtier on the grassland, "Qi Great Khan, there is still an important matter to repay for his humble position, and this matter is related to the survival of the right army." ”
"General Nogi, please. Jerusheru was a little disinterested, and did not look at him squarely.
"The Khan had previously decreed that women were not to be included in the battle. Not long ago, he listened to the report from his subordinates that Liu Yu actually brought Princess Liu Ge to the right army, simply ignoring the Khan's edict. Beizhi had long heard that this princess Liu Ge was good at demagoguery, but the khan was merciful and spared her life. If there is any mistake in the right army, this woman will definitely not be able to get out of it!"
Yelu Shilu raised his hand, "That's it, this matter will be left to General Liu!"
Since Liu Yu is willing to go out for him, how can he be harsh on him in such a trivial matter, wouldn't this chill the hearts of loyal ministers?!
Nogi's face changed after hearing this, and he retreated to his seat in a huff.
......
In the vast grassland, the water of the Urjimulun River, which stretches for thousands of miles, flows from west to east. The Tibetan and Khitan armies were lined up on both sides of the river, and the two sides spread along the terrain, and the army stretched for dozens of miles, as far as the sky. The war drums of both sides thundered, the men and horses were in turmoil, and the shouts of the soldiers resounded in the sky.
According to the previous plan, the Khitan main formation remained unmoved, and the right army led by Liu Yu crossed the river to challenge the Tubo people. Some of the sons of the right army stepped forward with wooden planks and built a pontoon bridge over the rushing Urjimulun River.
The 100,000 horses of the Khitan Eight Division, under the leadership of the steppe khan Yelu Shilu, witnessed Liu Yu with 20,000 children of the right army stepping onto the pontoon bridge and charging towards the other army.
The whimpering mother of the Urji Mulun River is about to witness the feat of a boy from the Central Plains today, thousands of years later, the water of the Urji Mulun River will still flow, and the young man named Liu Yu, his legend will also be passed on to future generations!
Just when Liu Yu led the right army to cross halfway, the Tubo people launched an attack, and the arrows rained down one after another. This move is in line with the "half-crossing attack" in the art of war, which is expected by him.
He sent a military order, and 2,000 children of the right army dismounted and held shields to protect the army and slowly advance. Someone keeps falling, and someone keeps making up.
The waters of the Urjimulun River were stained red with blood, but no one was afraid of it. Every drop of blood they shed needs to be compensated by the Tibetans!
The sight of the soldiers of the right army uniting as one not only shocked the Tibetans, but also encouraged the soldiers of the Khitan army in the rear. They suddenly remembered the legend of the boy known as the "Eagle", and they didn't know who was the first to raise his head and shout the first "Eagle!"
"Eagle!" "Eagle!" "Eagle!" "Eagle!"
"Eagle!" "Eagle!" "Eagle!" "Eagle!"
The cry of the "eagle" immediately spread to every corner of the Khitan army, moving every soldier, shaking the earth and stirring the river.
The loud cry soared into the sky, and even the rushing water of the Urjimulun River was tarnished.
Nogi's face turned pale when he saw this, and his eyes were a little distracted. He didn't expect that this Han Liu Yu would be able to get the support of so many grassland boys. In a trance, he seemed to feel that the dream of the Khan King was getting farther and farther away from him. He seemed to wake up from a long dream, drenched in cold sweat.
