Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1420 Chain Reaction (Part )

In the narrow strip of land to the north of Lingqiu County, there were almost rivers of blood and mountains of corpses... At least that was what Tian Liu'an and Yu Chigong saw.

Because they were attacked by the Tang Army last night and held on to Feihu Trail, a large number of Turkic troops in the southern part of Yuzhou were concentrated in Lingqiu County. Together with the Turks who had broken away from Daizhou... they were so crowded that it was difficult to clean up the battlefield after the war. Extremely difficult.

"Huang Junhan was killed in battle?" Yuchi Gong gritted his teeth, "Where is Cheng Mingzhen?"

"Cheng Mingzhen stood firm at the entrance of the valley and refused to retreat. He was seriously injured and it was difficult to get up." Tian Liu'an stretched out his arm and asked the guards on the side to bandage his wounds. "There are thousands of pioneers, but not one of them will survive."

Yu Chigong was a little surprised, but he soon understood that the reason why Yanmen Pass was undefended was because of Yanmen Pass. Although Feihu Trail was also a dangerous pass, the narrow passage of dozens of miles was not a pass.

Moreover, a large number of Turkic troops gathered in Weizhou, which was not considered before.

Shuang Shiluo on the other side couldn't help but said to Li Mengchang in an envious tone: "Did you really capture Yanmen Pass?"

"When I climbed up the city wall, I didn't see anyone." Li Mengchang was letting his guards pull out the feather arrows from the Mingguang Armor, and said with a smile: "Open the city gate, and thousands of troops will enter the city later. , the Turks will react."

"In that case..." Shuang Shiluo turned to look at Yuchi Gong and Tian Liu'an, "Wu Guogong defeated the Turks east of Yanmen Pass, from Dai County to Yuzhou... In addition to the Wutai Mountain area, the Turks lingering in Daizhou There shouldn’t be many left.”

Tian Liuan didn't say anything. Yuchi Gong had already made it clear before that after the two armies joined forces, Yuchi Gong would be in charge of the war.

"Not bad." Yuchi Gong glanced at the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield, "But at least yesterday... King Wei Si and Tuli Khan were still facing off in Xinzhou, and the Turkic troops were not weak."

"The whole army is heading west?" Li Meng tried to inquire: "I don't know if there are large groups of Turks near Guo County..."

"Although the first step is to capture Tuli Khan, it still depends on whether this guy can hit our hands." Yuchi Gong sneered twice, "There are just thousands of infantry... As long as we hold a pass, a large number of Turks will It’s hard to enter Yuzhou!”

Yu Chigong was from Shuozhou and was very familiar with the terrain of Daidi. He pointed to the west side and said, "Just hold on to Ping Xing Stronghold!"

Tian Liuan smiled and nodded, because he thought so too. Pingxingzhai is located at the junction of Yuzhou and Daizhou, and is the most important and main passage from Daizhou to Yuzhou.

The terrain of Pingxingzhai is dangerous, with Hengshan Mountain in the north and Wutai Mountain standing majestically in the south. There is a not-so-wide passage between the two mountains, and Pingxingzhai is located slightly higher on the way to this passage.

Although there is not only such a road between Mount Heng and Mount Wutai, the Turkic army can only take this road, and there is no other possibility.

The two armies combined five or six thousand Tang cavalry to defend the Ping-shaped Stronghold with infantry, which was enough to defend the Ping-shaped Stronghold. Even if the Turks had tens of thousands of troops, they would not be able to defeat it, at least the Turks would not have so much time.

Not to mention Xinzhou, Su Dingfang and Xue Wanche at Yanmen Pass also had 6,000 Tang cavalry, and the Daizhou Army from Shuozhou was also on its way.

In fact, the so-called Pingxingguan Village was the Pingxingguan Pass in later generations.

After a simple distribution, Yuchi Gong, Li Mengchang, and Shuang Shiluo led the cavalry first to seize the main road. Cheng Minzhen and Xue Zhong followed up with the infantry.

At this time, thousands of Turkic cavalry were passing through Fanzhi crazily, galloping towards Yuzhou.

This is the second change caused by a chain reaction.

A fire caused by Dugu De and Liu Rengui caused Ashina Sunisi to be defeated. Ashina Sunisu was even captured alive, but the other person did not make any resistance at the first time and ran away. Went to Tanglingang. Naturally, it was Ashina Jisheli, who had been killed by the Tang army.

Tuli Khan judged that his brother did not have the courage to lead his troops south to support him, but he did not expect that Ashina Jishe led his troops to escape to Tanglingang and did not stop until they fled to Yuanping County.

Just when Ashina Jieshe was still frightened, a group of defeated Turkic cavalry brought bad news that Ashina Jieshe was worried about again.

Yanmen Pass was actually robbed by the Tang army!

This time, Ashina Association made an accurate judgment earlier than Tuli Khan... Wei Siwang Li Huairen did not want to let Tuli Khan return to the grassland easily, and he did not want to let Tuli Khan return to the grassland easily. Tuli Khan's vitality was seriously injured.

This is obviously to catch them all in one go!

Therefore, after Tuli Khan sent scouts to confirm that the Tanglingang garrison was still there, Ashina Jishe personally rushed to Tanglingang and informed the entire army of the news.

No matter how stupid Ashina Jishe is, he knows one truth. The Tang army has already seized Yanmen Pass and defeated thousands of Turkic troops. Going north alone or with a small number of troops is not called escaping, but death!

Only by taking away the troops from Tanglingang and coercing the troops near Nao County can we be sure to find a way out and escape.

The Tang army's first target...or Li Huairen's first target must be Tuli Khan.

If Ashina Jishusu can really escape, he might be able to become a khan... although he may not be able to convince the public, and he may not be able to be a Khan for long.

As a result, a large group of Turkic cavalry went north from Tanglingang and Yuanping County, passed through Nao County, and fled toward the northeast.

Hu Yan and Qu Silang, who had arrived thirty miles north of Naoxian County, also tried to intercept... Although there were only two thousand Tang cavalry, and the Turks had already seized the main road, they could at least intercept some of them. This place is not far from Yanmen Pass, and the rear Su Dingfang will also send reinforcements to arrive.

But Ashina Jisheshui immediately asked someone to tell him... that Tuli Khan was still in Xinzhou.

Let's not fight. You go catch Tuli Khan, and I will just run away.

So, next, Hu Yan and Qu Silang led two thousand cavalrymen and watched helplessly as at least six thousand Turkic cavalrymen passed in front of them.

"Well, the Turks are so embarrassed and don't care about their own safety, so they must not be lying." Qu Silang laughed a few times, and it was he who had just dissuaded Hu Yan from taking action.

Hu Yan didn't say anything, but Qu Silang was indeed right. Thousands of Turks passed by him almost unprepared. If he led his army in a side attack, it would definitely be a great victory.

But Hu Yan also understood that the reason why Qu Silang persuaded him to let the Turkic army pass was mainly because he was worried about the war in Xinzhou, or directly, he was worried about the safety of King Wei Si.

Su Dingfang and Cheng Mingzhen attacked Yanmen Pass and Feihu Trail on the east and west sides, and won by surprise. However, the troops they led were not weak. On the contrary, the Chinese army led by Wei Si Wang Li Huairen was insufficient. After all, the Chinese army was facing Tuli Khan.

As a result, Ashina Jishe led the army to pass through Dai County in great joy, passed by Fanzhi, and then ran into Yuchi Gong twelve miles west of Pingxingzhai.
