Xiao Pidi suddenly felt that it was definitely a stupid act for him to talk about war with the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.

Xiao Pidi decisively gave up talking about war with the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, and a smile appeared on his face, and said, "The Khan King's iron cavalry is naturally invincible. There are few soldiers and horses in the world that can compete head-on with the iron cavalry of the Khan. ”

"Heh......"

Xiao Pidi originally thought that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu would be used calmly when he heard his sycophants, but he didn't expect that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu just smiled mockingly.

Xiao Pi looked at the Black Khan King Yu Sufu suspiciously.

Black Khan King Yu Sufu said in a deep voice: "Yes...... There are many ...... ...... in the West"

Xiao Pidi was stunned for a moment, ready to ask.

But the Black Khan King Yu Sufu didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to talk to him.

When he was about to open his mouth, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu shouted, "Collect the corpses of your brothers and send them to the arms of the true god!" We are servants of the true God, and we are invincible! ”

"Roar, Roar, Roar, ......Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T

The Black Khan soldiers not far from the Black Khan King Yu Sufu roared like beasts.

Then, a roar swept across the battlefield.

Xiao Pidi glanced deeply at the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, and also glanced at the Black Khan soldiers.

The Black Khan soldiers suffered a heavy blow just now, and the morale of the Black Khan soldiers was a little low, but after the Black Khan King Yu Sufu moved out the true god, the morale of the Black Khan soldiers began to recover rapidly.

The soldiers controlled by religion and belief are really different.

Later it will be necessary to remind His Majesty to prevent religion from coming into contact with the power of the Liao State.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu did not care about Xiao Pi's mood, he ordered people to collect the corpses of the Black Khan soldiers on the battlefield, and ordered the Black Khan soldiers to burn the corpses of the Zhenxi army and the Xizhou Uighurs who were killed in the battle.

The fire that burned the remains lasted for a day, as did the flames in the woods.

Black Khan Wang Yusufu previously threatened that if Chong Shiheng wanted to retire, he would have to get his consent.

But when Chong Shiheng led his troops to retreat, he could only stare and watch.

That burning forest of fire, until it was completely extinguished, it was difficult for the Black Khan cavalry to cross.

After the flames in the forest were extinguished, the Black Khan King Yusufu sent a group of Uighur slaves from Xizhou to dig up the earth and pave a road through the forest.

Then he led the soldiers and horses, stepped on that road, and entered the territory of Shazhou.

The neat acres of fields, neat woodland, and houses with different styles on the edge of the woodland cultivated by the people of Shazhou all attracted the attention of the black sweat king Yusufu.

The Black Khan King Yusufu led his army to stroll through the fields, and said with heartfelt emotion: "This is a place where the light of the true god has never shone. As messengers of the true God, Ben Khan should bathe them in the light of the true God. ”

"The foreign minister thinks that the king of Khan should go to the city first to see if the Song people have left you enough food."

Xiao Pidi couldn't help but remind.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu only paid attention to the acres, woodlands, and houses that were different from those in the West, and did not pay attention to the fact that there was no longer anything for people and horses to eat in Shazhou.

The Song people are obviously in the fortified wall.

This was one of the tactics they used to deal with the Tanguts and the Liao.

Such tactics have not played much role in today's Daliao.

But it is very fatal to the Black Khan soldiers who feed the war with war.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu seemed to see this under Xiao Pi's reminder, he frowned slightly, and led his soldiers and horses to Shazhou City.

The city of Shazhou is bustling.

Although the rebuilding of Shazhou City was not long, Shazhou City was an important commercial place for the Great Song Dynasty to communicate with all parts of the Western Regions.

The merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, the merchants of the Western Regions, and the small tribes and horse bandits who wandered around the Western Regions would rush to Shazhou City to complete the delivery of huge sales.

Some merchants even settled here.

Driven by merchants, Shazhou City has developed to a very prosperous point in just a few years.

In the eyes of the vast majority of people in the Western Regions, Shazhou City is almost a paradise on earth.

The reason why it appeared almost was because of the city lord of Shazhou City.

The black-hearted lord of Shazhou City is not very friendly to the merchants of the Western Regions, and when the merchants enter the city, he always has to charge high business taxes.

If the city lord of Shazhou City is replaced by a different person, and a person who is friendly to the merchants of the Western Regions, then Shazhou City is a true paradise on earth in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions.

It's just that now this city, which is known as the paradise on earth in the Western Regions, is empty.

There was not a trace of any living thing.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu's face was slightly gloomy, and he ordered the Black Khan soldiers behind him, "Go, arrest the people who are still alive inside for Ben Khan." ”

The Black Khan soldiers rode their horses and galloped into Shazhou City, and after running around inside, they returned to the Black Khan King Yusufu.

"Venerable Khan, there is nothing ...... in it"

"Food ......"

"There was no food, and all the houses were empty."

"Whew...... Suck ......"

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Continue to search, search the entire territory of Shazhou, and then send someone to Ben Khan to track down the movements of the Song people." ”

When the Black Khan soldiers heard this, they beat their chests and saluted, and began to continue their search.

Black Khan Wang Yusufu stared at the empty Shazhou City, and said coldly: "Since the Song people are unwilling to let Ben Khan stay in one city for a long time, then Ben Khan will go to the next city of Song State. ”

Xiao Pidi hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The next city is not easy to fight." ”

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu frowned and looked at Xiao Pi.

Xiao Pidi said frankly: "The next city is Guazhou City, and the terrain in Guazhou is very complicated. There are mountains, rivers, and countless ditches. It is not conducive to cavalry combat. ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu stared at Xiao Pi and said, "Aren't there still your Liao soldiers?" ”

Xiao was stunned.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu asked, "Could it be that when Ben Khan is in trouble, you Liao soldiers don't plan to help?" ”

Xiao Pidi hesitated for a moment and said: "My Da Liao and Hei Khan are now allies, and Hei Khan is in trouble, so I, Da Liao, will naturally help." ”

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu nodded and said: "That's it, once the soldiers and horses under Ben Khan are frustrated, your Liao soldiers will be on top." You 100,000 Liao soldiers won't be able to defeat 50,000 Song soldiers, right? ”

Xiao Pidi suddenly had a feeling that he had been calculated by the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, and in the face of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu's question, Xiao Pidi could only bite the bullet and say: "Naturally." ”

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu smiled indifferently, "Then we will rectify the day, and tomorrow the troops will be sent to Guazhou." ”

After a pause, the Black Khan King Yusufu added, "Before that, we should send people back to the Xizhou Uighurs to collect all the grain in the Xizhou Uighurs. ”

Xiao Pidi nodded in agreement.

Just when the Black Khan King Yu Sufu and Xiao Pi were resting in Shazhou City, Chong Shiheng had already retreated to Guazhou with people.

After a short rest, Chong Shiheng immediately began to arrange troops according to the terrain of Guazhou.

Although the military order given by the imperial court to Chong Shiheng was that if necessary, he could retreat to Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass to defend against the enemy through Xiongguan.

But Chong Shiheng felt that he could fight in Guazhou.

The terrain of Guazhou is very complicated, which is not conducive to cavalry charges.

The cavalry of the Black Khan Dynasty had difficulty giving full play to their huge advantage in Guazhou.

It is also difficult to form the momentum of the flood charge.

Chong Shiheng can take advantage of the favorable terrain of Guazhou to deal a blow to the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty.

As for the defeat of the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty, Chong Shiheng did not think about it.

He now has less than 50,000 forbidden troops in his hands, plus 30,000 local soldiers.

It is simply impossible to fight against the enemy's nearly 800,000 soldiers and horses.

He didn't think about winning by surprise, playing a record of nearly 80,000 and nearly 800,000.

He leads his troops and likes to win steadily.

Since the court gave him the order to retreat, there was no need for him to take any risks.

In contrast, Di Qing prefers to win by surprise.

When attacking Tengchong Mansion in Dali, Di Qing personally led a strange army to attack a military camp in Tengchong Mansion, opening the door for the army to enter Tengchong Mansion.

Just when Chong Shiheng was making arrangements in Guazhou.

Koji has arrived in Xining Prefecture.

After having a light meal in the governor's mansion of Xining Prefecture, Kou Ji led the people and crossed the horse into the territory of Qingtang.

Not long after Kou Ji crossed his horse into Qingtang, the news of his entry into Qingtang had been sent to Jiao Guluo's desk.

After learning that Kou Ji had entered Qingtang, Jiao Guluo decisively ordered An Ziluo to lead his troops to meet him.

So not long after Kou Ji entered Qingtang, An Ziluo appeared in front of Kou Ji with his troops.

Seeing each other again, both of them have changed a lot.

The elegant aura on An Ziluo's body was gone, replaced by a rugged aura.

An Ziluo has grown a beard, and he still has a big beard.

The voice of the speaker was a lot rougher.

"Brother An!"

Kou Ji rode his horse to An Ziluo and greeted him with emotion.

An Ziluo replied solemnly, "Kou Shumi is polite, my king has prepared a banquet in Qingtang City, and I invite Kou Shumi to Qingtang City to talk about it." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he was slightly stunned and sighed in his heart.

Rusty?

Koji nodded, and rode forward.

An Ziluo led his soldiers and horses and followed Kou Ji's side.

Kou Ji sighed and said, "Brother An, is you blaming me?" ”

An Ziluo said indifferently: "How dare you ......"

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't save it, it's that I can't save it." ”

An Ziluo said nonchalantly: "His Majesty the Emperor personally gave the order, and Kou Shumi naturally did not dare to disobey it. ”

An Ziluo made it clear that he didn't intend to be commensurate with the Kou Ji brothers anymore.

Kou Ji didn't bother to put a hot face on the cold ass.

Kou Ji rode his horse forward, and said casually: "Can the Liao State send envoys to Qingtang?" ”

An Ziluo groaned for a moment and nodded faintly.

Kou Ji sighed with emotion: "The Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao State attacked my Great Song with a million troops, and the situation of my Great Song can be said to be precarious. If Qingtang takes the opportunity to make a move, he can indeed get a piece of the pie. ”

Kou Ji stared at An Ziluo and smiled, "This is a great opportunity for you Qingtang. Once my Great Song Dynasty blocks the combined forces of the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao State, Qingtang will have no chance. ”

An Ziluo glanced at Kou Ji and was speechless.

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and then did not speak again.

The two rode their horses and rushed to Qingtang City in the starry night.

Just when Kou Ji entered Qingtang City.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu and Xiao Pi were two rivals, leading nearly 800,000 soldiers and horses, and arrived at the border of Guazhou.

Nearly 800,000 soldiers and horses are on the border of Chen Binggua Prefecture, and the group of black oppression is indeed terrifying to look at.

It's just the soldiers and horses in Guazhou, and no one is afraid of them.

for there was a great river standing in their way.

They had to cross a large river to enter the territory of Guazhou.

On the other side of the river, the artillery and musketeers of the Zhenxi Army were already in full array, waiting for them to cross the river.

Crossing the river became the first major problem for the Black Khan soldiers and Liao soldiers to enter Guazhou.

After carefully observing the arrangement of the Zhenxi army on the opposite side, Xiao Pidi said to the Black Khan King Yusufu: "King Khan, we should divide our troops into three routes......

The Chen soldiers of the Zhenxi Army responded to the enemy with firearms by the river, which reminded Xiao Pidi of the battle of Xiao Xiaomu, the former Yan King of Liao, on the side of the Yellow River.

In that battle, the Great Song Dynasty relied on a small number of soldiers and horses and used firearms to defeat the Liao army led by Xiao Xiaomu, the king of Yan.

It was also in that battle that the Great Song Dynasty reversed the tide of the war in the northwest of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

The results of the war not only affected the wars between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State at Yanmen Pass and Tongtai Pass, but also affected the war of the Great Song Dynasty against Western Xia.

It can be said that that battle played a crucial role in the entire war situation at that time.

Now, the Great Song Dynasty once again set up troops by the river and responded to the enemy with firearms.

Xiao Pidi felt that it was necessary to persuade the Black Khan King Yu Sufu to divide his troops.

The number of soldiers and horses in the west of the Song River was limited, only 50,000 Zhenxi troops, and some local soldiers and horses with weak combat effectiveness.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Song State were in one place, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Not only a waste of troops, but also a waste of time.

What's more, once someone else seizes the opportunity, take advantage of the terrain and give them a head-on blow.

It is very likely that the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty will withdraw from the battlefield.

At present, the soldiers and horses of the Great Liao have not yet moved south, and they have not yet formed a general trend of attacking the north and south with the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty could not withdraw from the battlefield.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu heard Xiao Pidi mention the division of troops again, and his brows were twisted.

"Division? After the division of troops, the combat effectiveness of our Black Khan cavalry will be greatly reduced. ”

Xiao Pidi said in a deep voice: "Now the soldiers and horses in the west of the Song Kingdom are all in Guazhou, from Shazhou to Yangguan, there are no heavy troops stationed, and it can be said that it is unimpeded.

If the king of Khan sends a cavalry out and fights along the road from Shazhou to Yangguan, he will soon be able to reach Yangguan.

If Yangguan can be occupied, then the door for the Black Khan soldiers and horses to enter the Great Song Dynasty will be completely opened.

At that time, the King of Khan could completely ignore the Song soldiers in Guazhou and enter the Great Song Dynasty in a long way. ”

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu frowned and did not speak.

Xiao Pidi persuaded again, "King Khan has nearly 700,000 cavalry under his command, and sending out 50,000 or 60,000 will not have as much impact on the combat effectiveness of King Khan's soldiers and horses at all."

If the soldiers and horses sent out by the Khan King can occupy Yangguan.

Not only can it open the door to the rich land of the Great Song Dynasty for the Khan King, but it can also help the Khan King rob a large amount of wealth and food.

The land west of the river is a big granary in the Song Kingdom.

Behind Yangguan, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Xiliangcheng and other places, there are millions of acres of fertile land.

There are tens of millions of loads of grain stored.

What's more, the soldiers and horses in the entire Hexi territory are now stationed in Guazhou.

The Khan divided his troops and went out, as if he had entered a no-man's land.

Plunder to your heart's content. ”

When the Black Khan King Yu Sufu heard this, he was moved.

Because he needs food now, so do his soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses who had gone to the Uighurs in Xizhou to loot for food were still on their way, and before they could deliver the food, the Black Khan king Yusufu had to solve the problem of food shortage in the army himself.

The Black Khan soldiers went out to fight, but they didn't carry any baggage.

So everything they need must be taken from the enemy.

Previously, Chong Shiheng emptied all the grain in Shazhou, which made the black Khan Wang Yusufu feel a sense of crisis.

Now he needs enough food to dispel the sense of crisis in his heart.

As Xiao Pidi said, fifty or sixty thousand cavalry is indeed nothing to him.

Black Khan King Yu Sufu muttered: "It is feasible to send out fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses to attack Yangguan, but it can't all be my Black Khan cavalry. You Liao soldiers need to send 10,000 soldiers, and Ben Khan is sending 20,000 Black Khan soldiers and 20,000 Uighur slave soldiers from Xizhou.

Together, they formed 50,000 cavalry and went to attack Yangguan. ”

When Xiao Pidi heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

Black Khan King Yu Sufu, this is to force him to contribute.

Xiao Pidi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

If you let the Black Khan King Yu Sufu lead the soldiers and horses to do it brutally, it will be difficult to be played by the Song army.

He sent troops and horses to intervene in one or two, and perhaps there would be unexpected gains.

His task was very simple, that is, when the Liao Emperor led a heavy army to the south, let the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty disrupt the entire Hexi and attract enough Song soldiers and horses.

It is best to attract Qingtang people into the game.

Seeing that Xiao Pidi had agreed to this, the Black Khan King Yusufu immediately sent people to dispatch troops and horses.

Not long after, a cavalry force of 50,000 broke away from the army and went down the river, preparing to attack Shazhou and Yangguan.

When the 50,000 cavalry left, they naturally couldn't hide it from the Chong Shiheng in Guazhou City.

When the scout reported the matter to Chong Shiheng, the corners of Chong Shiheng's mouth twitched for a long time.

Li Di, who was sitting on the side, complained: "Are you a sheep madman?" ”

Chong Shiheng rolled his eyes and said: "The Black Khan King Yu Sufu sent out 50,000 soldiers and horses to go in the direction of Yangguan, which is really a wonderful move. ”

Li Di nodded approvingly and smiled: "Yangguan is a good place to bury bones, and it seems that those who sneak attack Yangguan will not end well." ”

Chong Shiheng nodded with a smile and asked, "How are the people of Guazhou retreating?" ”

Li Di laughed in a low voice: "They have all retreated to the back of Yumen Pass, and before they retreated, the old man also ordered them to cut down all the trees in Guazhou, leaving only a half-foot-high stump." ”

The half-foot-high stump, which was very constrained by the cavalry charge.

The cavalry had to slow down as it passed through the stump-strewn territory.

Chong Shiheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Li Gong is wise, Li Gong is righteous." ”

Li Di smiled reluctantly and did not speak.

He personally destroyed all the forest land he had managed for many years, and he actually felt very uncomfortable.

But at the moment of the great enemy, he will never be a woman.

Regarding the war in Yangguan, Chong Shiheng and Li Di were not worried at all.

They wish that the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty would divide their troops to attack Yangguan, and it was better to go more.

On the edge of the big river outside the city of Guazhou.

After the Black Khan King Yu Sufu divided his troops and went out, he immediately ordered his soldiers and horses to start crossing the river.

The river is not deep, and the deepest point is only to the chest of a person.

So the Black Khan soldiers didn't need to do anything rafts, boats at all.

All they had to do was wade through the river.

The Black Khan soldiers encountered rivers and lakes, and most of them went directly.

Because the Black Khan Dynasty was located inland, there were no big rivers in the territory, but mostly small rivers, and the water flow was not turbulent.

So there is no need to cross the river by boat.

The Black Khan soldiers crossed the water.

The Zhenxi army on the other side of the river was naturally not polite.

Artillery and muskets fired a salvo together.

The war has officially begun.

In the roar of guns, one by one, the black sweat soldiers floated up in the river, becoming a floating corpse on the river, drifting towards the lower reaches of the river.

Black Khan King Yu Sufu watched the muskets and artillery shoot the Black Khan soldiers, his brows furrowed, and his voice was very heavy: "In the border of Shazhou before, Ben Khan has not felt how powerful firearms are, but now here, Ben Khan can be regarded as seeing the power of firearms.

For foot soldiers, they are a real killer.

Ben Khan now understands a little why your Liao State can't defeat the Song State. ”

Xiao Pidi just stared at the battle situation and did not speak.

There were quite a few Black Khan soldiers crossing the river, but none of them climbed ashore.

The dense artillery concealed the surface of the river, and it was difficult for the Black Khan soldiers to pass through it.

In just a few hours, thousands of Black Khan soldiers fell on the surface of the river.

Whether they were all dead or seriously injured, no one knows.

Because they were almost all floating on the surface of the river, drifting downstream.

The follow-up Black Khan soldiers, seeing that none of the Black Khan soldiers who crossed the river in front of them successfully crossed the river, were timid one by one and retreated one after another.

Seeing this, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu flashed with anger in his eyes, but he didn't attack, he just ordered people to collect his troops.

Today's war is over for the time being.

The Zhenxi army on the other side of the river cheered after the Black Khan soldiers retreated.

The Black Khan soldiers looked like a defeated army, but not long after returning to the barracks, they forgot about the defeat, forgot their sorrows, and made a fuss with songs and dances.

When fighting during the day, so many people died, it seems that it has nothing to do with them.

Those people have returned to the bosom of the true God.

It's something to celebrate.

While the Black Khan soldiers were singing and dancing, some people were among them, constantly telling them that a new oracle had appeared in the holy city of Baghdad.

In the Song Kingdom, there was a true god left behind by the people.

His name was Koji.

The Black Khan did not believe this.

For none of them has been to Baghdad, nor to Al-Quds.

I haven't been in the Sky Castle, which is full of honey and milk.

The person who quietly advertised that Kou Ji was an oracle of the gods did not give up because of this, but spared no effort to tell the matter to more Black Khan soldiers.

Because the person in charge of publicizing Kou Ji as an oracle of God understands people's hearts very well.

He knew very well that now these Black Khan soldiers did not believe that Koji was an oracle, and that was because too few people knew about it.

When all the Black Khan soldiers knew that Kou Ji was an oracle, then Kou Ji was the real oracle in the hearts of the Black Khan soldiers.
