Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 866 Going South, Going South

The endless Daqing Mountain lies in the north of Dingxiang Tucheng outside the Great Wall. This natural barrier blocks the road from the front plain to the Dahou Mountain.

For thousands of years, this place has become the focus of repeated competition between the northern nomadic people and the Han farming people in the Central Plains.

The battles continued, and the two sides opened up a winding ancient road on the Daqing Mountain. This road is ninety miles long and is called the White Road.

In the land of Hetao, Qiantao in the east was called Chilechuan in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which is a rich land.

To the west, it was also called Fengzhou Beach in the Sui Dynasty.

After Luo Chengbai Bi Khan, many Turkic people fled to Mobei, and the remaining Turkic people belonged to the Han family. Their inheritance was in Dingxiang for several years, and they have been vigorously immigrating to cultivate wasteland, build cities and set up villages.

After a poet came to the frontier and saw the situation here, he once wrote an old famous poem that the orchard at the foot of Helan Mountain was completed, and the south of the Yangtze River in the north.

But Jieli's southward invasion again, especially Liu Wuzhou's sudden rebellion, caught Siye by surprise.

"If I hadn't led the main force to expedition to Jiuyuan, Dingxiang wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophe!"

"Prince Jin, even though this is the case, who would have expected that Jieli and Liu Wuzhou would make trouble at this time."

barracks.

Soldiers are breaking camp.

The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army in Dingxiang, who streamed endlessly, wore scarlet military robes, with bronze medals inlaid on their arms according to their ranks and ranks.

The Qin army pays attention to the ranks of officers and ranks. Those with high grades have military ranks, while those without ranks have military ranks.

There are military ranks above the head of the team, but there is no rank below the head of the team, so they are all awarded military ranks.The deputy of the team is the sergeant major, the flag bearer is the sergeant, and the flag bearer is the sergeant. In addition, the fire chief of each team is the corporal, and the team leader is the upper class soldier. Those who have served for more than two years are second class soldiers, and those who have served for more than one year are third class soldiers. Soldiers, those who have been in the army for less than a year are called private soldiers.

During the battle, each has a vassal sequence, but if it is disrupted, the command sequence will be arranged according to the official rank and military rank, and the top and bottom will be clearly defined.

The soldiers wore armor, wide-cut trousers, bandages on their legs, and weapons, and they went out of the camp in an orderly manner.

The military flag fluttered, and the neatly arranged soldiers began to sing military songs, and the steps were orderly in the voice of the army brother.

In front of the camp gate.

Siye sat on the horse and looked at the soldiers.

"King Jin, our army is only 3 people, and now the supply of food and grass is near. If we don't obey the order, it is too risky to go west to collect firewood and sell 10 horses."

"It's risky, but worth it."

Luo Siye had his own considerations. Naturally, there was no danger in going out of the fortress at this time, but he had to go around to Xijing to return to Fanyang. This detour would take more than 1000 li. No, there is not much food and grass, and the food and grass for more than 3 miles is a big problem.

What's more, Luo Siye was even more unwilling to withdraw Fan Yang.

Blood debts can only be paid in blood.

Jieli has a strong army and a strong horse, so he can't go head-to-head for the time being, but Luo Siye feels that there is still a great chance to fight Chai Shao's [-] Tang troops.

Mindful and careless.

In addition, when Chai Shao came out of Jiuyuan County, he had already left a lot of soldiers and horses there.

Then he encountered heavy rain and floods, so he changed his route and detoured. Originally, he was going to meet Jieli at the city of Dingxiang, but if Jieli had already gone to Mayi, Chai Shao's troops had not yet arrived in Dingxiang.

This is a good opportunity to block.

"Report!"

"Report, Scout Qingqi has found Chai Shaojun's position, and his army has reached Jinhebo at the mouth of Jinhe River, with a force of about 8 troops."

Siye asked the servant's righteous son to bring the map, and he looked at the map for a while.

"It seems that Chai Shao marched very slowly. He has just arrived at the mouth of the Jinhe River. Next, he will probably march northeast along the Jinhe River, and then go south through Shahukou to enter the Great Wall Pass, and go to Yunnei to join Jieli."

He estimated the distance, Baidao is only about 160 miles away from Jinhebo.

"Send an order to adjust the route. The whole army will no longer go west, but south instead."

"southward?"

·······
South, south.

A hundred miles to the south, Dingxiang Dali City.

Under the darkness of night, the Turkic people staying behind in Dali City found soldiers and horses coming from the north.

The horns sounded, and the [-] Turkic troops who stayed behind woke up from their sleep, put on their armor and picked up their swords.

"An enemy attack?"

"It seems that soldiers and horses are coming."

The Turkic people ascended the tower, and went out of the city to form an array of horses.

After a long time.

Finally someone came over.

"I am the vanguard under the command of Chai Fuma, General Zuowuwei of the Great Tang Dynasty. I have come here to tell you by the order of my son-in-law that one hundred thousand Tang troops have arrived!"

As he spoke, the knight galloped towards the city and delivered a letter.

The Turkic generals who stayed behind in the city were relieved when they heard that it was Li Tang's soldiers and horses, and thought it was Luo Siye from the north who came to fight.

"Check this letter carefully, don't let Luo Siye fake it."

A Han checked carefully for a long time, and finally handed the letter back to the Turkic general, "It is indeed a letter from Li Tang Chai Shao, and the printed letter on it is not a forgery."

"This Chai Shao, why did you arrive only now?"

"He said that he had to take a detour and wasted a lot of time due to floods and floods on the road. He also said that the army rations were approaching, so he asked us to borrow some from him first."

"Come here in the middle of the night to borrow food, what a fucking disturbing dream, don't borrow it."

"General, it's not good, after all, they are also friendly troops."

"Okay, let's wait until Chai Shao comes."

Not long after, more people arrived and they stopped in the distance.

A cavalryman held high the red and white flag of the Tang army in front, followed by a cavalry team of about two to three hundred people.

"Great General Zuo Wuwei of the Great Tang Dynasty has arrived, Prince Chai of Qiao State, please open the city gate."

The Turkic people in the city looked around and yawned, "Let's open the city, damn it, it's really bad luck, come here at this time."

The gate of Dali City opened slowly.

The flag bearer under the city took the lead in entering the city holding the flag, followed by more than two hundred riders.

The Turkic people in the city yawned, thinking to wait for them to come in and close the city gate again, and then find a place to squat for a while, but suddenly there were bursts of shouts from the city gate.

"Tang Jun rebelled!"

·······
The sound of shouting and killing came one after another.

At the gate of the city, Chai Shao, the son-in-law of the great general Zuo Wuwei of the Great Tang Dynasty, Qiao Guo Gong, lifted off his visor, and became Luo Siye, the King of the Great Qin and Jin Dynasties. Guard Turkic soldiers.

More knights beside him have launched a surprise attack.

Before many Turkic people died, there was only one puzzling doubt left, why did the Tang army rebel?
A fire was lit at the north gate of Dali City, and the officers and soldiers of the Xuanwu Army in the far north of the city finally received the order to attack.

"kill!"

More than [-] soldiers of the Xuanwu Army rushed forward with a blood feud in their hearts.

The Turkic people in Dali City still wanted to resist, but the city gate was broken through, and the Qin army poured in continuously. The Turkic army stayed behind by the ruthless harvesters with steel knives and spears.

dawn.

The [-] Turkic soldiers and horses left behind were wiped out.

In one night, more than a thousand people were killed, and more than three thousand people were captured.

Siye, drenched in blood, sat on the gate tower of Dali City, facing the rising sun.

"Kill, leave none!"
