Dajin royal family

Chapter 132 Hostage

Seventy steps, the Turkic soldiers are now within the range of their bows and crossbows.Similarly, he also saw the Turkic siege log. Unlike the battering hammer in his hand, it was just a bare piece of wood that had not been reinforced in any way.As long as he obeys the pass and refuses to defend it, it is impossible for these Turks to break through the Loufan Pass in a short time, but the key is what should the common people do?
General Han punched the wall with a fist, secretly scolding these Turkic people for being shameless.

"Fifty steps!" The soldiers reported again.

General Han slowly closed his eyes, raised his hand, and dropped it suddenly!The soldiers understood what the general meant, and couldn't bear to look at the ragged civilians, but they still shouted, "Fire the arrows!"

The bow soldiers trembled when they heard the sound, and tried to aim their bows and arrows at the Turks, but the Turks were not stupid, they mixed with the civilians, and shooting arrows at them would definitely kill the civilians.But there is no way, if they don't shoot arrows, the Turks will definitely attack the city.

"Shoot the arrows!" General Han yelled suddenly. Although he couldn't bear to implicate these innocent compatriots, once he let these Turkic dogs leave Loufan Pass, he would violate the military order and let the brothers who had previously blocked the Turkic people fight in vain.

Following General Han's order, arrows fell from the city head like black rain, screaming in an instant, Turkic people and civilians all fell in the rain of arrows.Countless women and children wailed in pain. They looked at their compatriots on the top of the city and stretched out their hands, hoping that they could rescue them.

However, what greeted them was round after round of arrow rain, covering the sky and covering the sky, like locusts crossing the border, instantly covering the Turks and civilians within range.The Turks did not have shields, they used the flesh and blood of common people as shields to resist the arrows, countless compatriots were shot into sieves by the arrows, they ran away screaming in pain, some women were willing to use their bodies to protect their children.

This scene fell in the eyes of the soldiers on the top of the city, and they could not help but stop their bows and arrows. Who is not the son of man, who has no mother, let alone these people are their compatriots.

"General!" The soldiers gritted their teeth, their eyes were red, and they wished they could go to the battle and slaughter these Turkic dogs.

"Shoot the arrows!" General Han gave the order again in pain. He was in a dilemma. If he released the Turkic dogs to leave Loufan Pass to rescue these people, their expedition this time would be a failure.How can the blood feud of those compatriots who died tragically under the iron hoof of the Turkic dogs be repaid.

The soldiers endured the hatred in their hearts and aimed their arrows at them again.

In the Turkic army, Jiao Li looked coldly at the rounds of arrows shooting his subordinates to death. He didn't think that the Jin army would stop them, but he didn't expect them to be so determined that even his own men would be killed. shoot dead.This made him deeply aware of a crisis. These Jin troops came with the purpose of killing him. He must not stay here to waste time, otherwise once the Jin army in Yikou County solves Zhu Xieluo If he catches up with him, he will be attacked from both sides, and will die tragically here in the end.

"You are not allowed to retreat, the whole army presses up, and whoever breaks through the Loufan Pass first will be promoted to Commander-in-Chief and will be rewarded with a thousand slaves!" Jiao Li shouted.

The Turkic soldiers and horses charged up again with the civilians in their arms. General Han held the handle of the horizontal knife tightly with both hands. Just as he was about to give the order to shoot arrows again, smoke suddenly rose in front of him, and a waving Great Jin flag loomed over him. in the eyes.

"General, that's General Liu, General Liu is here!" The soldiers recognized the word "Liu" on the flag, and immediately understood that their reinforcements had arrived.

General Han couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, stopped shooting arrows immediately, and ordered: "Let the brothers guard the city gate and wait for General Liu to break the enemy!"

The appearance of reinforcements from the Jin army naturally could not be concealed from Jiao Li. After hearing the news, he drew out his scimitar, raised it high and shouted: "Don't worry about those slaves, let me attack the city with the whole army!"

At this time, it is useless to use these Jin Dynasty people to involve them. He has to break through the city gate and escape from Loufan Pass when the Jin army reinforcements arrive.

But is it really useful?
The answer is no. The [-] troops brought by Liu Ziqi are the elite Zuo Xiaowei. When he learned that Jiao Li actually used the people as hostages, he was furious.Immediately let the three armies desperately rush to kill the Turkic back row, and he wants to kill all these Turkic dogs.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and a big battle broke out between the two sides in front of Loufan Pass. It turned out that the Turks had [-] cavalry, and they had the upper hand, but Jiao Li gave the order to attack the city desperately. Stay, go straight to straw.

But at this time, Jiaoli himself didn't care too much. His only way out was to break Loufan Pass, otherwise he would die. The arrow frantically held the battering log and hit the city gate.

After half an hour of violent impact, the gate of Lou Fanguan collapsed with a bang.Seeing this, Jia Li was overjoyed. He immediately slapped his horse and galloped with his shield in his hand. Behind him, the Turkic soldiers and horses lost their helmets and armor and followed the general and fled in embarrassment.

But Han Zhong and Liu Ziqi didn't intend to let Jiao Li go just like that, they immediately led [-] cavalrymen and chased towards Jiao Li madly.

After more than two hours of bloody battle, the Loufan Pass was littered with corpses, most of them were Turkic corpses, and some were the women and children they looted. Of the more than 1000 captives, less than 300 were left crying under the tower.

At the beginning of March in the third year of Hongye, the Turkic soldiers and horses of the Jiaoli Ministry who entered Bingzhou were all annihilated ten miles outside Loufan Pass by Zuo Xiaowei General He Ruofan. The second prince Jiaoli fled Bingzhou with only a dozen horsemen.So far, all Turks in Bingzhou have been wiped out.

Three days later, He Ruofan led an army into Shanyang County, Mayi County.Although they defeated Jiali during this trip, the city of Dali is still in the hands of the Turks, and they must recapture the city of Dali and rebuild the northern line of defense.The Ministry of Resources has been completely wiped out, and the current Dali City is just an empty city, which can be taken back at any time.

In the Shanyang County Yamen, He Ruoyu held a military meeting to summarize the gains and losses of this battle.In general, He Ruoyu is still very satisfied, because they went out in February and they solved the Bingzhou Turks in early March, and he can explain to the court.

"This great victory is all due to the hard work of the generals. The three armies have used their lives, and all the kings have made great contributions!" He Ruofei said with a smile to the sub-generals under his command, General Hussars and Generals Chariots.

"Minimum generals and so on are all trivial achievements, and it all depends on the great general's strategizing." Han Zhong forced a smile on his face.Although the Turkic people were completely wiped out this time, Jiaoli was allowed to escape, and his hatred for Jiaoli was even heavier in his heart.

Liu Ziqi smiled and said: "We all have minor achievements, but having a general is a great achievement."

Hearing this, the generals subconsciously turned their attention to a young general in the corner. It was his analysis of the Turks' movements that allowed them to deal with the Turks so quickly.Although they had more or less doubts in their hearts before, but this time the doubts have dissipated.Perhaps this person has no knowledge of force, but when it comes to strategizing and arranging troops, this person cannot be underestimated.

Of course He Ruojuan understood who Liu Ziqi was talking about, and he looked at Jiang Chengxiao with a smile.Xue Li and Zhao Jiao reported the battle process at Xizhou Mountain Pass in Yikou County, and he was very clear about it. In addition to telling him the movement of the Turkic main force later, the first victory in this battle should really be credited to this little guy.

"Jiang Huqi, you have planned a strategy for this battle. If you anticipate the enemy's opportunity first, you will have the first credit." He Ruojuan was very satisfied with Jiang Chengxiao's performance.At the beginning, when King Zhao handed this boy over to him, he was really repulsed. This is a war, not a joke.

He restrained two battalions of light cavalry for Jiang Chengxiao in order to prevaricate him, so that the boy would not return to Chang'an and tell Zhao Wang that he was perfunctory to him.But some analysis from Jingle County made him change his mind. He gave Jiang Chengxiao a chance, a chance to prove that he is not a brat.

He succeeded, not only guessing the Turkic movement correctly, but also defeating the Turkic soldiers and horses, preventing them from entering Taiyuan, and at the same time discovering the real intention of Jiaoli in time.
