Chapter 868: Robbery of the camp

(Thanks to radioline, in the last few days of the month, students who still have monthly passes, please vote for Muzi, thank you.) )——

On July 7, Yelu Abaoji, who escaped the catastrophe of Jincheng because he led the scouting cavalry, fled back to the north bank of the Sanggan River with thousands of horsemen, bringing back a bad news of defeat that made the coalition marshal Yelu Shilu unbelievable: the defeat of Jincheng!

Just when the tribal alliance army had successively taken the cities of Huairen, Heyin, Hunyuan, and Yingcheng, almost completely annihilated 10,000 Qin troops, as well as tens of thousands of young men who assisted the Qin army, and finally used the captured Qin army's gunpowder to dig tunnels to blow up the walls of Jincheng, ready to enjoy the victory, the Qin army's reinforcements suddenly arrived.

The 50,000 southward tribal coalition troops have killed 30,000 in battle, 10,000 have been captured, only more than 1,000 have escaped and broken through, and the 30,000 Qin army is taking advantage of the victory to go north.

"My father fought desperately, he was already killed in battle, there were no bones left, 50,000 troops, only my nephew escaped because he was outside." Yelu Abaoji's crying eyes were red and swollen, and he gritted his teeth, "Uncle, you must avenge your nephew!" ”

Khitan Yuyue, the marshal of the Southern Expedition, Yelu Shilu, turned pale when he heard this, and was silent for a long time.

The younger brother Jeruza was killed in battle, the 50,000 allied troops were annihilated, and the counties of Huairen, the city of Yingcheng, were lost again.

This not only meant that he had lost a quarter of his troops and horses to the south, but it was also a heavy blow to their Yelu family. At the same time, for the current war. It's even worse. In the original plan. Take this area of Jincheng. Not only can it seize the grain and grass of Zhang Zimian's western expeditionary army, but more importantly, it is to cut off Zhang Zimian's return route, divide the two states of Datong and Yunshuo, and trap Zhang Zimian's troops and horses in Shuozhou, and cannot return to Yunzhou, so that he can calmly break through Yunzhou first, then take Shuozhou, and then attack Shuozhou. Wave your troops in front of the mountain.

But now, this strategic plan has failed completely.

"The Qin army reacted too quickly, and their reinforcements actually arrived in Jincheng quietly." Jerusherus sighed.

"Marshal, if the Qin army's support soldiers converge with Zhang Zimian and go north, it will be 50,000 Qin troops, and we have to step up our offensive against Yunzhou, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

When the good news arrived in Li Jing's hands, Li Jing had just arrived at the mouth of the Great Wall in the northwest of Wuzhou. He almost ran out of breath, but his face was still filled with great joy. "Jincheng was victorious, Admiral Liu led 30,000 reinforcements to Jincheng in time, arrived at the critical moment when the Hu people broke through the outer city wall, and broke the Hu army. In a war, more than 10,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 10,000 prisoners, and then took advantage of the situation to recover Yingcheng, Heyin, Hunyuan Zhucheng Guanzhai one after another, not only recovered the cities south of the Sanggan River, but also crossed the Sanggan River to recover Huairen County, and now the army is going north along the Qingramp, and is about to arrive in Yunzhou to support the enemy. ”

Li Jing, the king of Qin, sat on a war horse, far away inside and outside the Great Wall, and ordered in a deep voice that the whole army prayed for all the soldiers and people who died in the Battle of Jincheng for five minutes of silence.

Subsequently, Li Jing issued an order from the King of Qin, officially promoted Liu Xun to the Duke of Yingcheng County, and appointed him as the commander of the newly built Wansheng Legion of 30,000 people from the Five Armies to aid Jincheng. At the same time, Gao Rong, Zhang Yun, Liu Zhijun, Qin Zongshou and Zhang Yu were all named marquises, Gao Rong was named Marquis of Huairen, Zhang Yun was named Marquis of Heyin, Liu Zhijun was named Marquis of Hunyuan, and Zhang Yu was named Marquis of Jincheng, all four of them were county marquises, and they were respectively appointed as the corps officials of the Wansheng Legion.

The silence was followed by the cheers of the whole army.

The great victory of Jincheng, which completely annihilated the 50,000 Hu people who went south, and defended the hub area of Jincheng, was an excellent message for the whole army.

The names of Liu Xun and Zhang Yu have become the most popular names among the soldiers.

The First World War was made to be worshiped by countless soldiers.

Li Jing looked at the lively military camp, standing on the already decaying Great Wall, with a smile on his face, "This is just the beginning." ”

At the same time as the Battle of Jincheng, Li Jing's other two disciples, Dong Zhang and Li Si'an, had already led their troops across the mouth of the Great Wall and rushed all the way to the bank of the Dongyang River. At the mouth of the Great Wall, as expected, Li Siyuan's soldiers and horses were not seen, and they were not too worried. Li Siyuan did not arrive here, which does not mean that Li Siyuan has died outside the gate.

Here, there are still seventy miles away from the place where Yang Lin and Li Siyuan are separated. This time, Li Si'an and Dong Zhang did not wait for Yang Lin to urge, and they had already begun to accelerate.

The speed of the 10,000 cavalry advanced so fast that Yang Lin was a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Yang Lin persuaded Li Si'an in turn that he was already out of the customs and might run into Hu Ren at any time, should he be smaller, and don't come to Bai Shui Luo again. At the beginning, Li Siyuan pursued the Hu people all the way out of the pass, and after the last time, he was ambushed by the Hu people in Baishuiluo, and was defeated and almost wiped out.

However, the second general Li Si'an, who had been maintaining his spare strength to move forward before, was unusually this time, and just replied to Yang Lin lightly, "It is precisely because we have already gone out of the customs that we have to hurry, we have to appear in front of Hu Ren before he finds us." ”

Li Siyuan woke up suddenly and jumped up from under the tree, what was the noise going on?

Since dark, although the Hu people have not launched a large-scale attack, they have surrounded the valley to the death, and constantly sent small troops to harass them. Moreover, these Hu people are very cunning, and when they are harassed, they cannot relax for a moment, because you don't know when the road is, when they are true and when they are false, and even a group of Hu soldiers outside ran to the mouth of the valley to throw a few torches and put a few arrows, but there was another small army quietly climbing the mountain, trying to sneak into the valley.

Under such circumstances, the thousands of Shatuo people in the valley could only be on mental defense. Li Siyuan has been insisting on guarding the valley, but he is so tired that he accidentally falls asleep.

"General, it seems that the Hu people are attacking again." A tooth soldier approached. "Damn the Hu people!" In the eyes of this Shatuo soldier, they are not Hu people, they have long been Tang people. There are even times when they feel that they are stronger than the Tang people, and the Hu people refer specifically to those barbarians outside the Cypriots.

"Are the Hu people attacking?" Li Siyuan's eyes were bloodshot. Crimson. "Nope. It's not a harassment. It's not right. ”

Li Siyuan fell to the ground violently, buckled the sword pot on the ground, and listened with his ears on it.

He heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a lot of them.

His face changed drastically, and it was not far from dawn at this time, it was the time of the darkest before dawn, and it was also the time when a person was most tired and easy to fall asleep. It must be the Hu people who are about to launch a large-scale attack.

"Wake everyone up and get ready for battle. The Hu people are attacking! Li Siyuan shouted.

At this time, outside the valley, the iron wood thorn had just woken up from his sleep.

He also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a large group of people approached.

Tiemu got up with a sting, grabbed the mace and rushed out of the tent, only to see that the camp tent of the Goguryeo tribe in the east was blazing, and there was a panic shouting and shouting everywhere, "Qin army, Qin army has attacked the camp, Gao Tansheng is dead!" ”

Tiemu Thorn shouted anxiously: "Prepare a horse for Lao Tzu, quickly!" ”

But at this time. In the firelight, a cavalry army was already looming in all directions, accompanied by the sound of violent explosions from time to time. It was completely unclear how many Qin troops had come, but that power alone was enough to make many small tribal leaders and their warriors who had never seen the big world panic.

On the dark eve of dawn, there was fire everywhere, and there were also panicked tribal warriors everywhere, who were running wildly between the tents and in the dark night, shouting and screaming more terrible news from one after another, "The Qin army is coming." "Li Jing, the king of Qin, is here", "Li Jing arrived with an army of 100,000", "We are surrounded by the Qin army. "Oh no, Ghost Chi'er is dead." "Ironwood stabbed to death!"

With great difficulty, he got on his horse, only to hear a group of his Tatar men, shouting that he had been stabbed to death, while running around naked. Angry, he almost vomited blood, swung a big stick, and directly hit a guy who shouted the loudest in the head, smashing his brain.

After several panicked soldiers were executed in a row, Tiemu Thorn finally stopped the panic here, gradually reorganized his troops and horses, and then moved closer to the Onichi'er Division, which was also a Tatar Alliance. After the two parts were assembled, they finally made up their minds.

Seeing this, the other Hu soldiers also gathered together and gradually stabilized the morale of the army.

"Assemble, assemble, assemble this way!"

The chaos gradually stopped, but to the east, a sky-high fire had already been ignited there, and the Goguryeo tribe and several small tribes, several tribal camps of nearly 5,000 people, were completely enveloped in flames.

Tiemu Thorn grabbed an escaped Goguryeo warrior and shouted, "What's the matter?" Talk about where Sheng is, and ask him to come to me! ”

"Gao Tansheng has been killed."

"Who did it, Qin Jun? How many Qin troops? ”

"I don't know what to do, it's everywhere!"

"And where are they now?" At this time, apart from seeing a fire, Tiemu Thorn did not see half of the Qin army.

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded at the mouth of the valley in the south, followed by countless swords and guns, and screams.

Tiemu Thorn was shocked in his heart, not good, the Qin army went to the valley, their purpose was to save Li Siyuan. Maybe the number of Qin troops was not large, and when he thought about it like this, the small tribe that Taniguchi was guarding on duty had been directly stunned, and was then defeated and scattered.

In the darkness, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like a raging storm, and then an even louder roar rushed straight into the clouds.

"Shatuo is immortal!"

"Long live King Qin!"

With these loud roars, in the faint firelight, Li Siyuan, who was stained with blood, rushed out of the valley with a spear and a prancing horse, taking the lead, leading more than 3,000 remnants of Shatuo and rushing out bravely.

"Formation, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Ironwood Thorn was shocked by Li Siyuan's hideous and terrifying fierce momentum in the firelight, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and did not dare to directly lead the troops to rush forward. Instead, he unconsciously retreated a few steps, and in the darkness, the iron and wood thorn who had just been caught off guard didn't know how many Qin troops were suddenly killed by Lu Dao, but with the help of the other party, Gao Tansheng and their nearly 5,000 men and horses were defeated at once. Then the strength of the other party is absolutely very strong, and he judged that there were at least twenty or thirty thousand horsemen to break through the camp of the Goguryeo people in such a short time.

The enemy was unknown, and he did not dare to attack, he chose to defend.

Hu Qi was like a great enemy, panting heavily, waiting for the fierce onslaught of the Qin army.

A pillar of incense time has passed.

The time for a cup of tea has passed again.

A quarter of an hour has passed,

Half an hour passed.

The expected ferocious attack did not come, on the contrary, the flames of war gradually extinguished, the screams and moans gradually stopped, and the entire battlefield became quieter and quieter, but not even the slightest breath of the Qin army and the Shatuo people could be found.

Qin Jun left with the Shatuo people, and the iron wood thorn and the ghost Chi'er looked at each other, and the two old faces became more and more ugly under the torches. Qin Jun ran away? For what?

At this moment, a sudden sound of horses' hooves broke the strange silence and came in a hurry.

"Here they are, ready!"

Ironwood Thorn's heart thumped and he roared.

One after another, the Hu people drew their bows and arrows, aiming them at the darkness.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the bow of the Hu warrior was getting fuller and fuller!

Just as the iron wood thorn raised his hand in the air and was about to wave it down, he saw a high-pitched banner appear in the firelight.

Subsequently, under the banner, Gao Tansheng appeared. Behind him, there are more than 2,000 riders!

Then, there was none, nothing, not a single Qin army.

"What's going on, Gao Tansheng!" Oni Chi'er screamed. Just now, Goguryeo's camp was obviously burned down, and those Goguryeo soldiers who fled also said that Gao Tansheng and they were dead, but now they suddenly jumped out again, which made him feel miserable and panicked.

"Don't let go of the arrows, Lao Tzu is not dead, but he was raided and robbed in the dark just now, and he was scattered for a while, Lao Tzu packed up his soldiers and horses and killed him again." Gao Tansheng said it well, in fact, just after the Qin army rushed into his camp, he fled as soon as possible, without the slightest resistance. Not only did he flee, but he also let his men flee, and he fled far away. Fortunately, those who attacked the camp did not pursue, but just set fire to it for a while, attracting the attention of the Hu people, capturing the valley and saving Li Siyuan and leaving.

Gao Tansheng hid aside and saw that he was safe, and then came back.

"It's Qin Jun?"

"Well, that's right, it's indeed Qin Jun."

"How many of them are there?"

"At least thirty thousand!" Talking about it.

Ironwood Thorn stared at him coldly, "How much?" ”

"Estimated at twenty thousand."

"How much?" Ironwood Thorn did not believe that there were thirty thousand, nor did he believe that there were twenty thousand. If there were so many, how would they have missed the opportunity to annihilate them.

"Maybe more than 10,000, I can't see it clearly when it's dark." Gao Tansheng said with a little weakness under the gaze of the iron and wood thorns, he exaggerated the number of the Qin army, just to find some face for himself. After all, they were five thousand people, and they were crushed at once.

Ironwood Thorn's hand pressed against the handle of the scimitar.

"Oh, I remember, it seems like about five thousand, no, three thousand. It's almost three thousand, all light horsemen, very elite, red robes, black military flags, all wearing half-body cuirasses, pot helmets, and also equipped with riding guns, sabers, as well as crossbow machines and earth-shaking thunder. The elite cavalry of the Qin army, if it weren't for their sneak attack, we wouldn't have been defeated, we were completely caught off guard. ”

"Three thousand?"

"Three thousand."

The face of the iron wood thorn immediately turned from white to red and then turned purple, and the three thousand Qin troops unconsciously touched their side, and instantly broke their camp of five thousand people, and under the eyes of 20,000 people, rescued Li Siyuan, who was besieged in the valley, and three thousand horsemen, and drove away.

"Damn it!"

"!"

Temurat and Ghost Chi'er cursed almost at the same time, and the two immediately glanced at each other, and both saw the anger in each other's eyes.

"Chase!" Temurat waved his mace, roared in a rage, and chased down into the darkness of the east.

If you dare to play with them, you will have to pay a heavy price. Dog's day, three thousand people dare to come, really treat them as dead? Even if they add Li Siyuan's 3,000 men now, he will definitely ask them to bear his wrath. It just so happened that Li Siyuan, who had left the mouse hole, plus a group of arrogant Qin people, now he wanted to chop off all their heads one by one and kick them as balls!
