Chapter 266 Zhan Miyun

In Yuyi Town, after receiving Li Chongjiu's order to dispatch troops, he heard that he was going to send troops. Although the generals did not understand why they did not attack Zhuo County, but Anle County, but for the generals who had been mobilizing for a long time, no matter which target it was, It has long been impatient.

During the transfer order, Li Hu immediately ordered Yinghefu, Sun Erniang, Ertuo, Tudiji, Cui Xu, and Yan Yeli to mobilize the six leading armies.The four tribes of the grassland sent out [-] cavalry each. Tan Zong led the Wansheng Army. After Wang Mahan's cavalry regiment joined up, a total of [-] cavalry marched south to attack Anle County.

Li Hu led the army in person, Wen Yanbo and Ji Chuan were marching commanders, Er Tuo and Yinghe Fu asked Ying to go ahead as the vanguard.

In western Liaoning, [-] soldiers from Mohe Tudi, [-] from Cui Xu from the Dingling tribe, and [-] from Liucheng, Lieutenant of Liaoxi Commandery Zhao Que'er, made a total of [-] troops, with Tudiji as the general. Zhao Que'er flanked Yuyang County as the lieutenant general, threatening the flank of Gao Kaidao's army.

As for Shanggu County, Huaihuang Town, the Han army in Yanmen did not move, not only guarding against the Turks on the grassland, but also serving as a reserve force for the follow-up.

The section from Yuyi Town to Anle County is full of lofty mountains, and the army marched along the Guhe Ancient Road.Come to Xiguan, which is an important place for military strategists. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been an important way to prevent the invasion of nomadic peoples in the north.

Xiguan is today's Gubeikou. After leaving this pass, it is the territory of the Xi people, so it is called Xiguan. In fact, it is also to guard against the invasion of the Xi people from the south.During the Northern Qi Dynasty, the customs and city were rebuilt here, as the east extension of Saishangji Wai in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As a vanguard, Er Tuo led the army to Xiguan, and saw that there were soldiers guarding the pass, which was beyond Er Tuo's expectation.Although there is no shortage of manpower and soldiers in Gaokaidao, but in such a precipitous and remote place, it is inconvenient to station defenses and transport food, and half of the food eaten by one person will be consumed halfway.

For Gao Kaidao's grassroots bandits, it is hard to imagine that they would spend so much energy stationing here.

But when things come to an end, we can only make plans to break through the pass. This Xiguan is relying on the Yanshan Mountains, which is a natural danger. If we attack by force, we can only walk down the mountain to the pass.

This pass is called Xiguan, and as the forehead support of the striker, Yinghe Fu naturally knows that this pass is not easy to attack.So Er Tuo used the decree to surrender again, and personally led [-] subordinates to drive hundreds of horses to pretend to be shepherds who entered the customs for sale.The defenders were fooled, and immediately put the pretended shepherds Xi tribe warriors in. As a result, Ertuo raided the defenders and took Xiguan together with the outside of the city.

After taking these people down, they were sent to Li Hu's army. After interrogation, they learned that these people were the original Great Wall garrison. Son, make camp for self-defense.Because of the lack of news in the mountains, they still don't know about Li Chongjiu's establishment of the country in Monan, and they don't know how the world is going. They just wait patiently for the court to put down the rebellion.

Li Hu immediately pardoned them and let them go home. These garrison troops were grateful and willing to act as scouts to lead the way for Li Hu's army and attack Gao Kaidao.

Li Hu was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately asked them to guide the army forward.So Ertuo and Yinghefu took them as the guide and came to Yanle County, the seat of Anle County.

There are Yanle and Miyun counties in Anle County.Yanle County is said to be the county seat, but when Gao Kaidao attacked the city, there was a fierce battle, and the city has already been destroyed.Now Gao Kaidao's general, Xie Lenggui, forced the people of Yanle to set up a camp in a valley not far away, blocking the mouth of the valley on one side, and building houses and farming in it.

Etuo, after the arrival of the Yinghefu cavalry, Etuo, in order to fight for merit, immediately led his headquarters with [-] light cavalry, not waiting for Yinghefu's army, and then the horse couldn't untie the saddle, and raided the cottage.During the battle of Ertuo, the stronghold was almost broken, but later Xie Lenggui led the dead to resist bravely. After a fierce battle between the two sides, Ertuo was repelled, with nearly a hundred casualties.

After Yinghefu led the army to arrive, he immediately observed the situation of the valley and found that the valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one side could be communicated with.

So Yinghofer watched the formation and decided to set fire on the side of the hillside, and use the wind to blow thick smoke into the valley.Yinghefu's plan was successful, the valley was filled with thick smoke, Xie Lenggui was defeated, and he escaped through the secret road in the valley with hundreds of strong men.Yinghefu, Ertuo, collected nearly [-] people in the valley.
After the capture of Yanle, Yinghefu and Ertuo came to Miyun County. Xie Lenggui led his army to flee into the city to defend it. After Li Hu's army came together, he began to attack the city.Ertuo attacked the south gate, Yinghefu attacked the north gate, and led an army to attack the east gate.

The enemy soldiers in the city saw the strength of the Cantou army below the city, and they were all terrified, but Xie Lenggui drove all the people in the city to the city to defend the city to strengthen their courage.

There were [-] households in Anle County at the beginning, but after Gao Kaidao called, he killed all the big households in the county, and the rest were poor and small households, but the number of households was still quite a lot, and there were almost [-] people in the city.After Xie Lenggui immediately went to the city, he drove all the people in the city to the city to build his courage. The people threw rocks, kerosene, and wood on the city.

After attacking like this for two days, there was no result. At this time, it was learned that Gao Kaidao had led the army to arrive.After Yan Le's fall, Gao Kaidao had heard the news, and ordered Zhang Jinshu to lead an army to stay in Yuyang.

Seeing that Gao Kaidao's army was so powerful, Li Hu did not continue to attack the city at the moment, and withdrew the siege of Miyun. .

In the early morning of the next day, the autumn wind was chilling. The people in Miyun County who guarded the city yesterday had a hasty sleep at the base of the city, and were awakened by the biting autumn wind early in the morning.

In the early morning, the fierce soldiers in the city brought out baskets of steamed buns and placed them in front of the townspeople. The piles of white steamed buns were as high as hills, and there were large wooden barrels of pork soup beside them. Full of oily flowers.They who only ate porridge with wild vegetables on weekdays salivated when they saw these.

Those soldiers threw away the baskets and said loudly: "Eat, eat as much as you want, and be full!"

With the permission of the soldiers, these common people rushed forward and devoured it. After most of them had eaten their fill, there was a rumbling drum in Miyun City.

After eating enough, the common people were all driven by the soldiers of the high army with guns and sticks to the dark city gate. There were crowds of people in the city gate, and everyone breathed together. Then the city gate suddenly opened, and the people saw As soon as the light came on, the suspension bridge fell.

The common people were pushed out, and a large number of unarmed common people in gray clothes under the city buried their heads forward.And behind the nearly ten thousand people, there were cavalrymen in black iron armor holding scimitars and filing out of the city.After the iron cavalry, it was Gao Kaidao's main force of five thousand infantry.

In front of the people is the Cangtou army camp covered with antlers and trenches.

The people suddenly understood what was going on, but everyone knew that behind them were cavalrymen holding butcher knives. , as if grasping a life-saving straw tightly.

Knowing that there are many dangers ahead, but no one in this world is willing to be rid of by fate, trying to fight hard in this rolling tide, even though most people will be thrown into the water by the huge waves behind them.

Nearly [-] civilians were thrown in front of the Cangtou Army as the former army. At this time, the soldiers in the camp raised their bows one after another, waiting for the general's order.

When the distance was less than one mile, the cavalrymen of the Gao army brandished their sabers one after another and beheaded hundreds of old and weak people in the rear of the palace. Driven by this, the speed of the people's advancement suddenly accelerated. They had just eaten their fill, so this point There is still energy.

At the same time, among the common people, there was also a burst of howling and crying.

"We are not thieves!"

"We are innocent!"

"Forgive me, don't kill us!"

"We don't want to die!"

The women and children held up their babies who were still in their infancy, and shouted to the soldiers on the opposite side.

The thin, white-haired old man raised his hands to the sky and shouted, while the young man was pushed forward by the people behind him with a blank expression.

Overlooking the past from a high altitude, a black line is approaching.

"The former army abandoned the camp!"

This order was suddenly issued from the Central Army's Datuo Na.

The former soldiers in the camp, after hearing the words, couldn't believe it. When the order from above was like this, they just waited to give up.At present, all the front troops retreated together, and retreated into the camp of the Chinese army.
The people were overjoyed when they saw that there were no bows and arrows in the camp. They lifted up the antlers, threw away the caltrops, crossed the ditches, climbed over the wooden walls, and poured into the camp.

"Left army, right army attack!"

While the people were speeding up, the Chinese army's Da Tuna issued an order, and the cavalry of Yinghefu, Ertuo, and Yan Yelie all outflanked the left and right flanks and attacked the cavalry behind the bandits.

There are [-] cavalry in the three divisions, and the prairie rangers are all light cavalry, and there is no way to fight. There is a cluster on the left and a cluster on the right, spreading out from both wings, like the wings of a wild goose.

When Gao Kaidao saw the nine thousand horsemen arriving, he immediately ordered the iron cavalry in front to retreat, while the five thousand infantry in solid armor formed a tight formation and pushed forward.

Seeing that the infantry's formation was like a mountain, the rangers on the grassland did not dare to charge forward. They galloped past the two wings, and immediately raised their bows and arrows, throwing arrows into the enemy's formation.

The [-] infantry of the Gaokaidao Army are all wearing armor and holding long iron-covered shields, so the damage caused by riding bows is very small. On the contrary, the infantry bows in the formation are powerful, and they can fight back from a distance. The rangers immediately suffered a disadvantage .

As for the coerced people, they all squeezed into the big camp together.Seeing that the people were all hiding in the former army camp and did not move forward, Li Hu immediately ordered with the big banner of the Chinese army that Yinghefu, Ertuo, and Yan Yelie led the cavalry to turn around and attack the [-] soldiers behind Gaokaidao. auxiliary army.

But he ordered Sun Erniang to stay at the camp, and he, Tanzong and Wang Mahan led the sudden cavalry regiment, and the two iron cavalry of the Wansheng Army came out of the central army tent and attacked the Gaokaidao infantry formation.
