Section 358 Lin Hai Snow Field
Seeing the resolute expression of the coach, Nogi and Garhai did not dare to insist anymore and retreated stupidly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was an uproar in the army, and no one could have imagined that General You's military orders would really be so strict and fulfilled so quickly.
This military order, which could not be disobeyed, was like a storm, and the soldiers were stunned in place.
As the "Mirror of the Six Armies" said, the first of ten thousand battles lies in training, and if the soldiers are not strict, the battle will be defeated!
Liu Yu didn't care about the reactions of these people, he turned his horse and returned to Xie Anniang's tent.
After this incident, the right army was disciplined, the military appearance was clean, and it became famous among the eight Khitan tribes under the command of Yelu Shilu, which is a later story.
...
The war turned out to be as Yelu Shilu expected, and the Tibetans did not withdraw, and Cang Gyatso chose to continue to fight with the Khitans on this vast grassland. The two sides fought on the steppe for several months.
Liu Yu could not forget what Madame Xiao had said, and he had sent several groups of scouts to the vicinity of the Tubo army to find out the whereabouts of King Kui and Li Jing. After a few times, there was no news at all, but he trained his originally cowardly scouts to be shrewd and capable.
In the cold winter of Layue, the battlefield of the two sides shifted to the endless Ulandaba Forest Sea. It snowed for three days and three nights, turning the vast forest into an endless field of silver snow.
Snakes and bears hibernate, birds and beasts disappear, and everything is silent.
Liu Yu lifted the curtain of the tent, and a cold air hit his face. He sighed into his hand and rubbed it again.
Xie Anniang put a leather jacket on him from behind and said with a smile: "Be careful of catching a cold!"
Liu Yu politely replied, "Thank you!"
He thought about moving out of Xie Anniang's tent several times, but Yelu Shilu refused.
Yelu Shilu made it clear that if there was no Liu Yu to supervise, he would put Xie Anniang back into the cage car in the next moment. Because this is a dangerous woman, there are still countless admirers in the Khitan Eight Divisions.
Liu Yu trudged through the snow at the base of his thighs, inspecting the conditions of the soldiers in the various tents under his command.
In the distance, he saw an old figure walking around in the snow, with a dustpan in his left hand and a shovel in his right, as if looking for something.
When he got closer, it turned out to be Yuhe Zhenren who was picking up sheep dung and eggs early in the morning.
Yuhe Zhenren was a little surprised by Liu Yu who suddenly appeared behind him, "Oh, it's you, the right general?"
"Hmm. Liu Yu replied lightly, "Why are you picking up sheep dung here?"
Yuhe Zhenren laughed dryly, "This sheep dung egg can be used to light the fire after it is dried, and it will be hot for a long time." I have a good eye, and the sheep dung I pick up is large, and the generals and men in the various battalions like it very much. ”
Seeing that he had fallen into such a situation, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Dao Chief, I knew now, why did you bother in the first place!?"
Yuhe Zhenren didn't accept his words, "General Right, do you want some dry sheep dung." I just dried a bag three days ago before it snowed, or I'll have it delivered to you in the afternoon?"
Liu Yu waved his hand, "No need, you can go and give it to others." ”
He waved into the distance, and one of the guards saw it and trotted over with his horse.
Then he got on his horse and gathered a group of soldiers to find food in the snow. After searching for a long time, they only found a dozen pits used by squirrels to bury pine nuts under more than three feet of snow. The pine nuts that finally arrived were not filled with a small leather bag.
He frowned, this little thing is only afraid that it will be difficult to fill even a strong man. Food and grass in the army have long been scarce, and this is by no means a long-term solution.
Thinking of this, he ordered all the soldiers to return to the camp, and rode himself to the great tent of the king of Khan.
After dismounting, he handed over the horse to the Khan's personal guards who were guarding outside the tent, and broke into the tent alone, "Khan, if this continues, I'm afraid our people won't be able to hold on." If there is no food, how can people still fight? Before the Tibetans called, we ourselves would have starved to death!"
Yelu Shilu quietly watched the fire beating in front of him, and let the young man vent his anger on the side. It wasn't until Liu Yu finished speaking that he spoke, "Have you ever sent someone to inquire about the Tubo people, how much grain and grass are left for them?"
Liu Yu's face was undiminished, "They have a steady stream of grain and grass from Tubo and the Western Regions, where is it like us, with their backs to the forest sea of Ulandaba, and they can't find anything to eat." ”
Jerushe stood up from the stove and coughed, "Not necessarily, the snow is so heavy that it is difficult to bring in the grain and grass outside. ”
Liu Yu disagreed with him, "As long as the Tubo people send enough men and horses, they will definitely be able to find a way to bring grain and grass in!"
"yes, enough people. Jerushlu laughed.
"Enough people. Liu Yu muttered along, and he suddenly came to his senses and understood the meaning of Yelu Shilu's words.
Since the Tibetans need to send enough people to transport grain and grass, there must not be many people left in their camp!
He hurriedly bid farewell to Yelu Shilu, "Thanks to the Khan's guidance, I will send someone to find out the truth in the Tibetan army." ”
"Don't worry, I'll give you another 30,000 horses!" called out to him from behind.
He was stunned for a moment, a little caught off guard, "The Khan gave me so many military horses, did he want me to fight those Tubo people now?"
"The time waits for no one!" Yelu Shilu said slowly, "You take 30,000 men to fight in the front, and I will lead the rest of the men and horses to arrive!"
As he spoke, his right foot accidentally kicked on the stove, and his body almost fell, and he had to laugh at himself: "People are old, it's really useless!"
...
The sea of snow is vast, and 100,000 Khitan iron horses gallop on the silver land. As far as their eyes could see, they could see that in the camp of the Tibetans, the soldiers were already panicking.
These people obviously did not expect that some Khitans would carry out a surprise attack on a snowy day.
Liu Yu led Nomu Qi and Garhai to charge forward, these two had just been appointed as the commander of the 30,000 army horses, and their hearts were full of sharpness. They led their men and horses to rush quickly, eager to set foot in the camp of the Tubo people in the next moment.
The battle went unexpectedly smoothly, and under the siege of 100,000 Khitan cavalry on all sides, the defense line of the Tibetans soon collapsed.
With a wave of his hand, hundreds of archers lit fire arrows and shot towards the tent of the Tibetans.
The flames were everywhere, and the black smoke rose to the sky, completely disrupting the military morale of the Tubo people. After more than 10,000 casualties, the remaining 60,000 people chose to surrender. They fell to their knees in the snow in unison, their hands raised in the air, their weapons in front of their knees.
As the vanguard of the army, Liu Yu's men and horses were on the front line of the battle against the Tubo, and these Tubo men and horses should have been surrendered by him.
