Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Section 60
"Yes, sir. This morning, they suddenly set up camp and hurriedly evacuated in the direction of Baishan. The Karasuma people in Quang Ninh City were even more panicked, as if a great disaster was coming, put all the looted belongings in the car, and hurried out of the city. The scout replied loudly with excitement and nervousness on his face.
Ji Chou is in his forties, his body is very fat, and his body is bloated. A rosy face with a thick beard. His eyes were large and bright, his complexion was kind, and he was a very warm-hearted person no matter how he looked.
He touched his thick beard and thought for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Where is Lord Li's troops in Youbeiping?" ”
"Your Excellency, last night, they suddenly disappeared in Hutun near Ning County." The scout hesitated for a moment, then whispered.
"Oh?" Ji Chou laughed: "This leopard really looks like a leopard, elusive." Suddenly gone? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on it? ”
"Your Excellency......," the scout cried out in embarrassment, feeling that it was difficult to defend himself, so he immediately said, "Let's go back to ...... right away."
"Forget it. He must have been present on the withdrawal route of Tito, forcing him to abandon the city and flee in a hurry. By the way, what did you just say? Their troops stationed in Quang Ninh City are behind? ”
"Yes, a lot of big cars, moving slowly."
Mitsucho laughed.
"Order the cavalry troops, immediately set out with me and pursue the enemy."
He led a thousand cavalry guarding Ningxian County out of the city in the morning. They hurried to Hengling and galloped in the direction of home.
The sudden disappearance of Li Hong's army last night made him nervous and uneasy.
As early as when Li Hong summoned the army to set off from Yefengwei, Yu Jie and some tribal leaders kept reminding Ti to get rid and go back as soon as possible. But Ti Tu was determined not to go back, he had to wait until the Black Feather King relented and admitted that he was the heir of the king.
In fact, there is another reason why Ti Tu is reluctant to withdraw the army, he has always thought that Li Hong does not have many troops, and he does not take him to heart at all, he thinks that this is a heart-attacking technique played by the Han people. He and his subordinates calculated, plus the scouts' reconnaissance, and finally came to the conclusion that Li Hong's troops would not exceed 4,000 at most, and more than 3,000 people were the most likely, and there were 1,000 troops of Lu Pofeng and 1,000 troops of Ink Shooting.
The leopard was very patient, and he led his cavalry around an area of hundreds of miles on both sides of the Qiushui, never staying in one place for two days. This makes the Karasuma scouts exhausted and difficult to follow. Li Hong's troops have never shown any signs of sending troops to Quang Ninh. In fact, Captain Keicho, who was the captain of the Karasuma, did not speak, and Li Hong's troops did not dare to disobey the order under any circumstances and marched into Quang Ninh City privately.
Ji Chou was sure of Tito, he knew that Titu would not be able to insist on getting out of Quang Ninh sooner or later, so he had no intention of asking for help at all. Five thousand people waited patiently in Fengpingwei, waiting to get out of the way,
In the end, the three parties couldn't help it, and they were the first to move, and it was still in a bad situation.
The border of the Great Han Kingdom. Zelkova Mountain.
Li Hong saw Heng Sai and Lu Huanyang on the left and right, and he would respectfully accompany an elder over to him.
The old man had a black beard, a tall and thin build, wrinkled forehead and the corners of his eyes, piercing eyes, and a subtle smile on his face.
Li Hong hurried up to meet him, and began to bow and salute a few steps away.
"Right Beiping Li Hong to meet the king."
Heiling Wang Nanlou hurriedly grabbed a few steps, helped Li Hong up, and didn't dare to do it.
"It's better to see than to hear. It's really rare for an adult to have such an achievement at such a young age. ”
The king praised it. Zimin is a martial artist, and he has no ability, but he is very lucky, and he has a few catties of brute strength. Li Hong smiled and bowed again to thank the Black Feather King for his praise.
Nanlou looked at him with a look of surprise on his face. He had been dealing with the Han Chinese for decades, and for the first time he had seen a Sima-class officer who was less than twenty years old, and he was born as a slave who had escaped from the Xianbei Kingdom. He could scarcely believe his eyes, which were so far from the leopard he had in mind.
This person is young, although he can no longer see immaturity, but that energetic face can't hide his real age. Ordinary appearance, a long face with Chinese characters, thick eyebrows and big eyes, what stands out is his tall and mighty body, even in the northern Xinjiang, it is difficult to see a warrior like him who is full of explosive power.
Li Hong doesn't look like an agile and cunning leopard at all, but more like a fierce tiger who treats people and loves people, and what comes to his face is a murderous aura, which can't help but make people fearful, especially under his prestige of winning more and more battles and killing more and more. If it weren't for his uninhibited long hair, if it weren't for the open-minded smile on his face, if it weren't for the sincerity and enthusiasm in his eyes, no one would have felt his kindness and affinity.
Now Nanlou finds that he is still a humble and courteous person. Among the Han people, the brave and powerful are much more arrogant and rude, and the learned ones are much more pretentious, and the seemingly brave and invincible Han like Li Hong can be like a humble gentleman and polite, which is also very rare among the Han people.
"According to the king's request, my troops have entered the ambush area."
"Thank you. The adults helped the Karasuma clan in times of crisis, and this kindness will be repaid in the future. Nan Lou said with a smile.
Li Hong shook his head indifferently, "The king is serious. For the sake of the long-term peaceful coexistence between the two clans, the king resolutely took action to kill his relatives, and this pride really made me and other juniors deeply admire. ”
Nanlou nodded and said with a smile: "After this battle, there will be no more wars on the border of Youzhou in the short term, and the people can live a stable life for a while." ”
He looked at the mountains in the distance, smelled the fragrance of the trees in the valley, and couldn't help but think of the lifting that made him gnash his teeth.
King Blackfeather was furious, his absolute authority was seriously challenged by Tito, and he wanted to kill Tito. So he found Lu Pofeng. Lu Pofeng immediately recommended Li Hong. Karasuma's internal affairs are more complicated, and with the high morality of Nanlou, if he personally comes forward to clean up and get rid of it, it will be a little unreasonable. The leaders of the large and small tribes will think that Nanlou is forced by the pressure of the Great Han Kingdom to suppress the compatriots within the tribe, which will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the tribal leaders, which will lead to conflicts within the tribe, and in serious cases, it may cause the division of Kamiya Karasuma.
Therefore, it is necessary to rely on external forces. Of course, it would be best if the army of the Great Han Kingdom could annihilate Tito. But Ji Chou, this person, the King of Black Feathers, dislikes it very much, and even has some disgust. His greed made it a little difficult for Nanlou to resist. If Nanlou wants to rely on his strength, it is not good in terms of timing and concealment, and Ji Chou himself has no ability, and the power in his hand is even more vulnerable. Only the leopard Li Hong and his iron rider can be used.
Lu Pofeng personally rushed to Yefengwei and secretly discussed this matter with Li Hong. Li Hong was overjoyed and agreed. So there was a matter of summoning a large army for field training. The specific number of troops, Lu Pofeng did not know. Because it was a secret, he had no intention of knowing about it. For Li Hong, he has great trust. Li Hong used this method of troop training to confuse and paralyze the enemy, intending to knock on the mountain and force Titu to withdraw his army, so as to complete the plan arranged by the Black Feather King to ambush and eliminate Tito.
However, they had not yet ambushed Tito, who had already ambushed Keicho.
Ji Chou scolded loudly, hating to eat it raw. His troops caught up with the enemy convoy, only to be entangled in the Karasuma cavalry protecting the convoy, and even more so there was nothing in the convoy. They fell for the Lift.
"Mingjin withdraws the troops, Mingjin withdraws the troops, withdraws the ......, withdraws the ......" Kei was angry and roared angrily.
However, it was too late, and the ambush soldiers of Ti Jie swooped down from the high ground on both sides of the White Birch Valley at the same time, and thousands of cavalry rushed down like a black torrent, surging and overwhelming, and their momentum was so great that the soul was scattered, and the liver and gall were broken. The galloping sound of the war horses was earth-shattering, the shouts of the soldiers were deafening, and the White Birch Valley suddenly trembled.
After all, Kei Chou has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he knows that if he wants to save his life at the moment, the top priority is to escape from the enemy's encirclement. Although he was horrified in his heart, there was not the slightest fear on his face.
He spat hard at the grass, the muscles of his face twitching nervously.
"Drumming, drumming......" Kei Chou roared.
The drums of war were beating, the sound was like thunder, dense and violent. The panicked soldiers were not knowing what to do, when they suddenly heard the fierce sound of war drums, and immediately lifted their spirits and quickly gathered towards the dense Chinese army.
"Dense formation, dense formation......" Ji Chou roared again.
"The archers are in the center, the spearmen are outside, and the formation is ......"
"The left wing is the front, and it moves rapidly......"
The bannermen beside Ji Chou held high banners of different colors, shook them in turn, and gave instructions to the cavalry of each department.
The cavalry of the Han army showed a high degree of tactical literacy in the life-and-death situation. They were in danger, and under the leadership of their respective banners, they quickly completed the assembly and began to move, although the speed did not rise, but their horses had already begun to run.
The sound of a huge bull's horn suddenly burst out of the air, stirring up and shocking. The enemy launched a charge.
The Karasuma soldiers looked excited, facing the Han army at a disadvantage, their morale was like a rainbow, and they shouted one by one, and the sound of ho went straight into the sky.
"Rushing Forward ......"
"Soldiers...... Kill......"
Ji Chou raised his long knife and shouted wildly. The drums of war roared furiously.
Inspired by the drums of war, the soldiers were all excited and echoed in unison:
"Kill...... Ah......h
The two sides were in contact instantaneously. A loud bang erupted on the battlefield.
Of the 8,000 people in Tito's army, 1,000 were in Ningxian, and they retreated under the leadership of Yan Jie. On the way, they will rush back to Baishan together with the convoy of 1,000 people who had withdrawn in advance to escort the property and baggage. Now the troops besieging Keizu are only 6,000 men. The Han army of 6,000 iron cavalry besieging 2,000 people had an absolute advantage in numbers.
The crashing sound of war horses, the whistling of long arrows, the roar of soldiers, the heavy beating of war drums, and the terrible sound of bull horns were mixed together and resounded in all corners of the battlefield.
The sharp spears and spears pierced each other's vocal bodies, and the soldiers fell off their horses, and then they were trampled to death by the rushing horses, and the soldiers who were hit by the arrows threw their spears before they died, and the knives carried up puffs of blood flying in the air.
The ferocious attack of the Karasuma people caused huge casualties to the Han army. The Han army desperately faced the enemy, and it was almost impossible to move an inch. As the Han soldiers on both sides continued to die and fall, the flanks of the formation became thinner and thinner, and they could be broken by the Karasuma people at any time. Once the position is cut off, the Han army will be divided and surrounded.
Ji Chou's combat experience is everyone's chance to survive, he is in the center, and his loud command calmly responds to the battle.
"The rear army shrinks, and the Chinese army replenishes the two wings and squeezes the enemy out."
"Order the front army, kill, keep going to kill ......"
"Archers support the front army, salvo, continuous salvo......"
The soldiers of the front army had only one thought, and that was to kill each other, and to keep killing until there was no one left to kill. The spearmen and the sabremen are half a horse's length apart, complementing each other. Everyone sacrificed their lives to fight, without fear, without flinching, they only had the enemy in their eyes, and their weapons were stained with the blood of the enemy. The salvo of archers had an immediate effect, and the speed of the assault of the front army suddenly increased. The Karasuma people noticed the anomaly and immediately launched a counterattack. With the support of a large army, they formed groups of three or five, intercepting, assaulting, outflanking, and encircling and killing, with the aim of killing and injuring a large number of Han soldiers.
Tito stood at the top of the valley, smiling and unhappy. He secretly muttered: Ji Chou, if I don't peel you and cramp you today, I won't enter the Great Han Kingdom from now on.
"My lord, I can't see that this fat man is still very disciplined in commanding the troops, and it seems that he can't take it down in a short time."
Titu nodded, and said to his subordinates: "These two thousand people are his old roots, he has been rampant on the grassland for so many years, and it is this army that fights. The last time he hit Quang Ninh, he would rather abandon the city and leave, and he was reluctant to use this army to defend the city. ”
"It's a pity to use such a good cavalry as infantry."
"But compared to our cavalry, his army is still a little worse."
'He's defending in a dense formation and it's hard for us to play to our strengths. Your Excellency, you see that his assault arrows are still rushing forward violently, are we drawing manpower from both wings to strengthen the frontal blockade? ”
Titu shook his head and said resolutely: "Concentrate your forces on his flanks and cut off his position." As soon as the formation is broken, he is finished. ”
"Order the cavalry in the rear of the two wings, line up and fire a volley, and shoot that dead fat man for me."
