Chapter 975

The troops were divided into three routes, one way was the commander of the left capital, Boltie, with 50,000 troops under the command of 50,000 troops, and the goal was naturally the easternmost city of Yunzhou to defeat the enemy. And the great prince of Qihu, Hassan, commanded the headquarters of 40,000 iron horses, and went straight to Qianxian, if Qianxian was taken, then he could continue to go south, and go down through the Yunshui River Valley to copy the back road of Yunzhou Prefecture.

As for Moli Khan himself, he led an elite army of 80,000 Qihu, walked in a straight line openly, took the shortest route, and put on a posture that I just want to overwhelm people with strength, and slowly and resolutely advance in the direction of Yunzhou Prefecture.

And the three-way army, each separated by about one hundred to one hundred and fifty miles, thinks that the strength of his side is enough, plus the strength of each road is not weak, so there is not much contact between the three-way army, plus the route experienced by the three-way army is not the same, and even the marching environment is not the same, at least it will cause the speed of the three-way army to be different.

Among the three-way army, Moli Khan is the most stable, so the speed of movement is the slowest, and Zuo Dadu Lieutenant Berti is a famous veteran of Qihu, older than Moli Khan, and he is a general of Qihu who has already declared his distance when Moli Khan's father, so he will naturally lead no one to be crooked, and the important thing is that the battle-hardened Bertiel is also similar to Moli Khan, and his strength is too much stronger than Yunzhou, so there is no need to rush forward, so it is also a steady and steady way to advance slowly.

And only Hassan can be described as rushing in, perhaps because of the southern invasion of the Tang Dynasty, the benefits he can obtain are definitely much greater than those against those poor ghost tribes in the desert north.

What's more, Hassan is also a Qihu with pursuits and ideals, and he has also been peeping at the position of Khan for a long time. However, in other respects, it is not his strong point, the only strong point is conquest, and the greed and possession of the Chihu people in their bones make him more willing to prove his strength by violence.

In the past, he didn't have dealings with Li Youwen, yes, a few years ago, after that Li Youwen came to Yunzhou, he went east and west, and killed the Qihu tribe in Yunzhou to cry his father and mother, and fled in embarrassment.

And Hassan, who had been leading the army to fight on the grassland before, cleaning up those disobedient tribes and aliens, heard the news and couldn't help but be overjoyed, because for Qihu, the Tang Empire is a feud with Qihu, and at the same time it is a fierce enemy.

When every Khan Khan wants to prove whether he is qualified, or wants to boost his prestige, he will pull a large group of Khuhu people to the south and kill them to burn and rob in the Tang Dynasty. In order to prove that this khan is qualified and has the courage to face the Tang Empire.

Of course, Hassan also hoped to be able to show his prestige in the land of the Tang Dynasty, so he volunteered to stand up and was willing to clean up the Han woman for his father Khan, and maybe he could even capture that woman alive and sacrifice it to his father Khan.

In short, Hassan was definitely like a proud bull at that time, not to mention that Li Youwen was not yet twenty years old at that time, and in Hassan's consciousness, the reason why those Qihu tribes were killed by Li Youwen was mainly because the military orders were not subordinate to each other, and they fought separately.

Mo Li Khan also wants to see how many catties Li Youwen has, anyway, his eldest son's martial arts, Mo Li Khan still knows very well, and he may not be good at doing anything else, but he is definitely a good hand at marching and fighting.

So, after only a little consideration, Moli Khan agreed to Hassan's request. Hassan was appointed as the commander in chief and commanded the army to conquer Yunzhou in the south. At that time, Hassan was very excited and very interested, but the problem was that he had just set foot on the border of Yunzhou, and before the first county town could be captured, he was hit on the head, and Li Youwen led 10,000 elite cavalry to suddenly appear in his rear flank, and it took less than two hours to almost trample his rear camp.

The important thing is that there is a large amount of forage hoarded in the back camp, as well as the cattle and sheep used by the Qihu people for food, but they are all ruthlessly ruined by the woman, and when Hassan learns the news, he is shocked to stop the siege and lead the army to the back camp, and what he sees is only the cattle and sheep that have died on the ground, and the five thousand soldiers and horses guarding the rear camp have almost been wiped out, leaving only two or three large and small cats.

At that time, the embarrassed Hassan almost went crazy, and he was ashamed to promise his father that as long as Princess Zhaoyang's little girl's skin was made by herself, she would definitely be caught, and you could rest assured, dad.

Well, if Dad sees that he has only been on the expedition for a few days and has made it like this, then it is not relieved, but dead.

Hassan, who was in a sad mood with the sorrow of the mud horse, was furious, and ordered everyone to pack up the camp in the shortest possible time, and the army rushed to the county seat again, and Hassan even ordered that as long as the county town was taken, the sword would not be sealed for three days.

Although the Qihu people are very barbaric and bloody, they still rarely do such a thing as slaughtering the city, not for anything else, because what they are attacking is the Tang Dynasty, if they really play the slaughter of the city, it is very likely to anger this behemoth, although the Tang Empire is dying and decrepit, but if he is provoked by the Qihu and attacks with all his might, not to mention the entire Qihu, even if the Qihu multiplies two, he can't withstand it.

But at this time, Hassan couldn't take care of it so much, and was harassed by this woman, so that most of the rations and forage of his army were destroyed in an instant, can he still fight a good war? Therefore, Hassan, full of hatred and decided to take revenge on society, once again pounced on the county town that had been besieged before.

Then, Hassan was stunned to find that the original crumbling city wall of that county town had been scrawled up, well, this is not the point, the point is that on the head of the city wall of this county town, the handsome banner of Princess Zhaoyang, the general of Zuo Yu Lin Wei, was erected.

In other words, after sweeping her back road, that damn woman actually took advantage of the gap to lead the army into her encirclement, or Li Youwen, a woman who wanted to rely on this city to resist her madness.

Is it possible? Hassan sneered, or rather, trembled with excitement, there were not many soldiers and horses in this small city, and the walls of this city had been ravaged by the soldiers and horses of the Khuhu for so long, and they were already crumbling, did she think that if she stayed inside, this place would become a great wall that would never fall? Don't forget, the woman surnamed Meng cried for hundreds of miles when she cried about the world's eight architectural wonders.

So, encouraged by Hassan's three-day non-sealing knife, the Qihu barbarians who knew that they were more serious than being ruined by the woman who was now staying within the city walls broke out like a series of chicken blood injections.

Tens of thousands of troops frantically attacked the crumbling city like a stormy wave, but the small city has always stood firmly, and Li Youwen, who was wearing golden helmets and golden armor, would make those exhausted Tang defenders burst out with amazing combat effectiveness every time she appeared in a moment of crisis, and drove the Qihu barbarians off the city wall again and again.

The first day passed, the second passed, and on the third day, Hassan, who had determined that food was running out, finally left the last of his scruples behind, and launched an all-army offensive against the county town with the crazy momentum of becoming a successful man if he did not succeed.

And on this day, the entire 30,000 elite Datang Iron Cavalry, and the 30,000 Zuo Yu Lin Wei Iron Cavalry, who had been recuperating for an unknown amount of time, suddenly appeared in a stormy wave. As a result, Hassan collapsed, well, it should be said that this Qihu army had collapsed the moment only these 30,000 Tang iron horsemen appeared in sight.

In the end, there were less than 20,000 soldiers who followed Hassan and fled back to the Qihu grassland, Moli Khan saw the embarrassed and miserable appearance of the elite he sent out, and looked at the bitter faces of the soldiers who were so hungry that they were already thin and deformed, so angry that he almost vomited blood, and even picked up the whip himself and whipped Hassan fiercely, and directly sent the goods to the northern border, so that this guy got out of his sight.

It was the first defeat in Hassan's life, and the first unprecedented defeat, after which Hassan had spread all his unwillingness and anger on the northern border of the Khu, the tribes who were unwilling to submit to the will of the great Moli Khan of the Khu.

After several years of fighting, Hassan not only washed away his shame, but also made him a warrior and hero in the eyes of all the younger generations of Chihu. However, Hassan is very clear that his shame has not been washed away. Because that woman is still showing off her power in Yunzhou.
