The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 295 Khitan Abaoji Yueliduo

In mid-August, it is hot.

56 miles west of Mozhou, Liang Jun, Lu Long Jun and the Khitan Tribal Army came into contact again and started the third conflict.

The mighty cavalry is divided into fields and forests, and is divided into countless small teams in a tribal situation. Arrows rush like locusts to attack the cavalry and shoot, suppressing the formed Liang army.

While Liang Jun raised his shield to defend, his arrows also fired back.

In the sky, arrows flashed back and forth, falling into the crowd, splashing blood, the figure in the middle screamed and fell down, and his fellow robed spears filled the gap behind.

The next moment, twenty feet away from the right, a Khitan tribal cavalry roared towards them. They stretched their bows and plucked their strings. Arrows crackled and hit the flanks of Liang Jun's formation. Large formation on the flanks.

On this side, Liang Jun's commander is Ge Congzhou, with Li Si'an, Pang Shigu, and Zhang Quanyi as generals. When the cavalry is not as good as the opponent's, the cavalry cooperates with the formation to contain the enemy's large cavalry and drive steadily.

From time to time, soldiers under his command fell down, but they never disturbed their minds. They are all warriors and have their own strategies for dealing with them.

Soon, the cavalry galloped, and the formation of the flanking army slowly changed its formation, like a long snake. The head of the snake came into contact with the probing Khitan cavalry. Humans also know the power of the Han formation, so they did not dare to make too much entanglement after fighting for a while, so they withdrew their troops and retreated.

The next moment, Zhang Quanyi ignited the rocket on Liang Jun's flank and shot it towards the forest. The flames rose with the wind, and the Khitan cavalry entrenched in the forest fled and were caught up in the field.

At this time, all the generals on Liang Jun's side held their breath, came from Jingzhou, and came to ask for help at Liu Rengong's invitation. They fought two battles with Mozhou and Khitan, but they all ended in failure. Instead, they were all cavalry, and they were all scattered in small groups to hunt around. The scouts in the army were chased and killed by the opponent as soon as they left the camp, so it was difficult to find out the details of the opponent.

Now in the third round, the opponent actually took the initiative to provoke. How could Ge Congzhou and others bear this tone, and immediately formed an array and killed them.

The burning mountain forest and the heat wave hit the face, and the advancing Liang army formation gradually began to contact the Khitan cavalry. In two quarters of an hour, the fields west of Mozhou were filled with the sound of fighting and shouting.

Ge Congzhou gave orders non-stop. Squads of soldiers and small groups of cavalry pierced the battlefield in all directions, anti-dividing the opponent's formation. When the line was reached, the opponent fell off the galloping horse.

Arrows were constantly being shot from the Khitan cavalry around, preventing his 2000-man cavalry formation from cutting back and causing bloody sprays. Saw the Khitan with more than a hundred people in front of them staggering the turn, and shouted: "Come in, separate them—"

The moment the roaring sound resounded, hundreds of Liang Jun soldiers around him roared first: "Kill!" Then it spread, followed by the remaining more than 1000 people shouting: "Kill!!"

Three hundred cavalry stood guard on both sides, and the infantry raised their shields and spears and kicked out their soles vigorously. Almost at the same time, they started to run quickly. Dozens of people in the front line took up the momentum of going to death, and charged straight at the turning and running Khitan cavalry. After entering, the cavalry of the Liang army ran forward, intercepted the arrows and spears, stared at the Khitan who also fought back, roared hysterically, blood was seen on both sides, and figures fell from the horses from time to time.

No matter how strong they thought, the Khitans were no more than that.
Pang Shigula brought down a leader of the Khitan tribe, chopped off his head, and threw it high into the sky.This thought flashed through his mind, and there was a crowd of people in his field of vision, and the soldiers and horses under his command had completed the task of counter-cutting.

However, out of sight, groups of war horses were still galloping in the field. According to the Liang Jun who wanted to push forward, he shot fiercely. The distance of ten feet was like a flood that diverted, and they ran away in two streams, roundabout and interspersed. , then turned into two giant fists, and smashed on the two wings of Ge Congzhou's central army——

Black smoke rose into the sky from the forest, blood lines spread, and the entire countryside to the west of Mozhou was full of figures of fighting and shooting. The corpses lay down with the advancing army formation, and the soldiers vomiting blood shook their steel knives and staggered Walking past the corpses on the ground, there was a sound of '咻' piercing through the air, the swaying figure trembled twice, and lay down on his back with a feather arrow stuck in his chest.

In the battle that has almost started, under the banner of Liang Jun standing on the hillside behind, Xie Tong with a pale complexion, riding on a horse, took out a handkerchief and pressed it to his mouth and coughed twice, but his eyes were fixed on the entire battlefield , Listening to the battle situation from ahead, he also expressed some opinions to Ling Qi, and asked him to pass it on to Ge Congzhou, the Chinese army.

In this battle, nearly 10 people piled up on the field, and the figures and horses overlapped one after another. If you don't pay attention, it is difficult to distinguish the offensive of your own army.

As a failed scholar who has been leading the army for more than several years, he never imagined that there would be such a day that he would be able to command such a battle. His thin body trembled slightly at this moment.

"If there is no King Liang, how can you have Tong today, even if you die, you can't report the event. '

Cough!

On the horse's back, Xie Tong coughed violently while pressing the handkerchief. When he took it away, blood stained the handkerchief. Since Huazhou, he had contracted typhoid fever. Gradually worn down, the disease has entered the liver and lungs, and now he is dragging his body to resist the Khitan people going south.

But at this moment, his whole life seemed to be burning.

The only one who was worried was Geng Qing, who was far away in Luzhou, and felt a little guilty.

"At this time, Li Cunxiao will either be killed, or break with Ji Chang."

He looked at the densely packed battlefield in the distance, thinking like this.

woohoo-

Suddenly a horn sounded, disrupting the scholar's thoughts. He had heard the sound of the horn before in the battle, and it was a signal for the Khitans to withdraw their troops.

'what happened? '

While he murmured, Ge Congzhou, who was in the middle of the Liang army on the battlefield, also frowned. It was still early and the battle was in full swing. The running and weaving Khitan cavalry came and went like the wind. Almost a few breaths after the horn sounded, they gradually separated from Liang Jun and galloped back.

When returning to the main formation, among the mighty cavalry, a few Khitan cavalry of the Diela tribe slowly slowed down, and the Khitan generals who came down joined the tribal leaders who also came over, strode to the largest felt tent in front, opened the curtain and walked went in.

"Yi Li Jin!" (Yi Li Jin, military leader of the Khitan United Tribe)

All the chiefs clenched their fists and pressed their chests and bowed. There was a general who looked like an old bear pushing away everyone, stood in front, looked at the head of the felt tent, "A Baoji, you are fighting vigorously, why did you suddenly withdraw your troops? I don’t know, I’m about to defeat this Han army.”

The general who spoke was Yelu Helu, a brother of Yelu Abaoji's clan, and most of the chiefs who followed him were fighters who followed Abaoji, such as Xiao Dilu, Yelu Xienechi, Yelu Yuwen, Yeluhaili, Yelujieli, Yeludi's assassination, and the surrender of Jizhou Yaxiao Kangmo are also recorded.

The first person to pay homage, a big man in leather armor and a felt hat, has a rough appearance, and his eyebrows seem to be like lightning, which makes it difficult to look directly at him. He put down the knife for cutting meat, wiped the oil stains on his hands, and raised his hand to let Holu Sit down, wave your hand again, let the rest of the ministries sit down one by one.

"Just received the news that a group of Han soldiers went to the north of Mozhou and came out from Taihang."

"Li Keyong lost?"

Hearing this news, without thinking, everyone guessed the origin of this army, Yeluhelu snorted, "Shatuo people are just useless."

All the chiefs in the tent agreed one after another.

"Since Li Keyong has been defeated, there is no need for us to stay here and continue fighting with the Han people."

"Hai Li is right, if you continue to kill, it will only damage my Khitan warrior."

Yelu Haili said something first, and then Xiao Dilu also followed closely. The two have always been in harmony, and what they said was true. If they were entangled by the Han people here, too many tribal warriors would be lost, and it would be a great blow to the morale of the army.

Yelu Abaoji also agrees with this point.

"Continuing to entangle is not profitable. It is indeed time to withdraw troops and go back."

"Yi Li Jin, just leave like this, won't the Han people think that I am weak in Khitan?"

At this moment, a female voice came from the tent, everyone looked away, and saw a woman in a leather armor with a white sable around her neck and a red cloak walking in, behind her were five hundred Khitan female soldiers standing outside.

"Yue Lido?"

Yelu Abaoji showed surprise on his face, this was his wife Shuluping, and then suppressed the joy back to the bottom of his heart, went to greet each other, and sat together holding each other's hands.

"If you don't stay behind, why did you come here?"

"I heard that Yi Lijin has met a tough opponent, so come and have a look." She looks very beautiful in Khitan, and it is rumored that her ancestors are descendants of the Xiao family of Emperor Sui Yang, and she grew up in Khitan since she was a child. Among the women of this era, the figure is considered vigorous and upright.

"I just heard that Yi Li Jin is going to withdraw his troops. I came here just to say, before withdrawing, we might as well destroy the prestige of the Han people, and go back with the victorious army, which will be of great help to Yi Li Jin in the future." She glanced at the tent. Among the leaders, Xiao Dilu is her half-brother, her mother Yelu Sagezhi, and Yelu Abaoji's aunt.

Almost everyone in the account is related to her.

What kind of person is Yelu Abaoji, who frowned slightly, and then nodded after trying to understand what his wife said, "What Yue Liduo said was what Abaoji said, everyone, the Han people came around me to force us to withdraw. Then we will withdraw, but after withdrawing, it is not up to the Han people whether to fight or not!"

Khitan is a martial artist, upon hearing this, the tribal leaders grinned ferociously.

The sun was shining outside the tent, and outside the Khitan felt tent with the sound of people neighing, facing Taihang in the west, soldiers and horses were running down the mountain one after another, and the tightened banners were let go and stood in the skylight.

Geng Qing rode a green horse up the cliff, looking to the east, it may be the land of Mozhou, hills, mountains, and plains, all lush and lush.

This is a beauty that is difficult for future generations to see.
