Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 884
Yunzhong County.

At the foot of Wu Zhou Mountain.

Jieli Khan is discussing with the generals in the golden wolf tent.

"Where did the cavalry under Hezhen Mountain come from?"

Someone asked suspiciously.

"About [-] riders. Judging by their attire and banners, they are flying the Qingniu White Horse Banner, the Black Eagle Banner, and the Luo Character General Banner. It is estimated that they are Khitan and Kumoxi, two Xianbei Yuwen hybrids."

Turks worship wolves and use wolves as their totem banners, while Khitans use green bulls and white horses as their totem banners. This is inseparable from the legends of the Khitan people.

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a goddess who lived in the Heavenly Palace for a long time and felt that the Heavenly Palace was boring and lonely. Ma Yushan went eastward along the Tuhe River and came from Xin Ma You Rein. The two met and fell in love with each other, and gave birth to eight sons. The descendant family became more and more prosperous, so they became the eight tribes of Khitan.

Therefore, even if it is no longer the era of the ancient eight tribes, but in the current era of the Dahe Alliance, the Khitan people still use green bulls and white horses as their banners. Raise the green bull and white horse flag.

Now that the Qingniubaima flag is here, as well as the Luo character flag, there is no doubt that it must be Dahe Duluo, the Khitan leader who joined Luo Cheng of Qin State and changed his name to Luo Guozhong.

The full name of the Xi clan was Kumoxi in the past, and it was abbreviated as Xi after the Sui Dynasty. The name of the clan originally meant the sandy land, and the totem of the clan was the Eagle of the Desert, a black eagle.

Jieli couldn't help frowning, he didn't quite know where the big Heduluo and Keduzhe came from.

"Khan, does it mean that Zhao Gui has captured Zhuo County?"

"Impossible. Gao Kaidao has led [-] troops back to aid him. What's more, Ben Dahan gave him [-] Turkic warriors. It's only been so long. How could it be said that he was defeated?" Jieli shook his head.

Zhuojun Huairong is five or six hundred miles away, and the road is full of the Great Wall, mountains, and valleys, making the road difficult, so Xieli's information is not timely and accurate.

His information on Zhuojun's side still stays that Gao Kaidao led the army back to help from here not long ago, and after that, there is no other information.

"Maybe Zhao Gui was besieging Zhuo County, and then asked the two bandit chieftains Xi Qi to lead Qingqi to detour to rescue Yunzhong."

Jieli can only speculate like this, because he really can't believe that Zhao Gui can take down all Zhuo County so quickly. After all, before Gao Kaidao returned to aid, Gao Tancheng persisted for a long time, there is no reason for the army to return to aid It was defeated and wiped out in an instant.

"Damn it, there is no news back." Someone scolded Gao Kai.

It has to be said that in the current Great Wall War, the intelligence capabilities of the Turks have indeed exposed their shortcomings. Compared with the mature intelligence lines of the Qin army, especially their magical means of flying pigeons to pass on letters, Xieli's intelligence capabilities The ability is average, and I don't even pay much attention to it.

Otherwise, the [-] soldiers and horses left behind in Dali City would not have been tricked into a surprise attack, and it was impossible for Xieli to wait for several days for the fall of Dali before learning the news.

But Liu Wuzhou, Chai Shao, Gao Kaidao, and Liu Heitai's coalition forces were not that strong in this regard.

So this battle, in fact, has been very passive.

Either the information is seriously lagging behind, or some wrong information, and Xieli, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, made his decisions based on these true and false information. If the information is wrong, his decision will of course have great influence question.

He still didn't know that after the loss of [-] riders in Dali City, Huairong lost another [-].

What's more, he didn't know that after Luo Siye defeated Chai Shao, he had already headed all the way west, even to Lingzhou. He even sent 5 troops to hunt and chase Luo Siye. Seriously separated from Xieli's Yunzhong Headquarters.

As for the 5 troops he sent to reinforce Liu Wuzhou, the situation in Yanmen is still completely unknown.

"I also think they came here by detour. Zhao Gui's main force must still be besieging Zhuojun City."

Based on this determination, Xieli thought that he could first divide his troops to defeat the Qin army's vassals who came to aid them with light cavalry, and at the same time send troops to continue to attack Yunzhong. Might hold on a little longer.

"Since they come thousands of miles away, eat them first!"

Jieli always believed that there were only [-] Hu cavalry, and without the support of infantry, especially the support of the Qin army's elite infantry, the [-] Qing cavalry of Dahe Duoluo and Keduzhe were vulnerable.

After all, even if he divides his troops several times, there are still as many as [-] cavalry under Yunzhong City.

Even if it is true that nearly ten thousand people were lost during this period, many of them fell ill due to the scorching heat, there are still ten times as many people who came to help Qin Jun Qingqi.

Xieli sent his brother to command [-] cavalry to eat the [-] Qingqi.

at this time.

One of Xieli's other two armies of 5 people was still aimlessly searching for the whereabouts of Luo Siye's main force in Chilechuan. Their rangers found some traces, showing that Luo Siye's troops were divided after defeating Chai Shao in Dali. Two roads left, one went west and the other went north.

According to the study of the traces, they found that the number of soldiers and horses going north was larger, while that going west was slightly less.

In the end, they came to the conclusion that Luo Siye should have led his main force into Wuchuan via Baidao, and then retreated eastward back to Fanyang.As for the traces to the west, it was Luo Siye who sent a Qing cavalry to continue chasing Chai Shao's troops who were defeated and fled west.

Until now, they didn't know the specific process and results of the Qin-Tang ambush in Dali City. They only knew that the Tang army was defeated here, but they didn't know that they had lost their fighting power completely, and even more than 5 people were captured. , 3000 people were beheaded.

Kang Sumi, who commanded the [-] Turkic troops, thought twice.

"The Great Khan ordered me to lead the army to pursue Luo Siye. Since Luo Siye is fleeing in a hurry, no matter how he escapes, I should lead the army to continue the pursuit and order the whole army to go out in pursuit."

Someone asked, what about West?

"The Great Khan sent people over before, saying that he had sent an order to Yugushe, Yusheshe, and Bulishe to move [-] people from the headquarters to Shengzhou, Fengzhou, and Lingzhou for resettlement. For grazing, leave it to them, we just go after Luo Siye."

Kang Sumi led [-] cavalry and headed north via Dingxiang, left Baidao, crossed Wuchuan, and then pursued all the way east, but he didn't know that what he was chasing was not Luo Siye's main force at all, but only the [-] Chai Shaojun escorted by Luo Siye's [-] troops Only captives.

Another 5-man army that went south to Yanmen was led by Jie Shuishi. Its 5 soldiers and horses went down the Sangqian River and went south through the White Wolf Fortress.When passing by Shenwu City, Jie Shuai actually clashed with Gao Manzheng, the guard of Shenwu City under Liu Wuzhou.
