Chapter 309 Turkic Confidence

In May, Liaoxi County.

The thick fog hung over the Bailangshui River Valley, and the only sound of water was heard along the river bank. It was just after the flood season, so the river was very turbid and full of sand.

The Mohe and Dingling people living on both sides of the river did not dare to go fishing by the river at this time, but luckily the poplar trees on the banks of the river were forested, and the Mohe and Dingling people in leather clothes wore animal skins and held hunting boats made of yellow birch. Bow, running in the forest to shoot birds and animals.

The sudden sound of galloping horseshoes broke the tranquility of the morning.

As soon as the vigilant Mohe people heard the sound of horseshoes, they all went deep into the dense forest to avoid them. They imitated the sound of birds in their mouths and kept reminding the people to retreat, while some bold young men put their bows on their backs and held three hands with their hands. People embraced the thick and thin trees, and climbed up the trees like apes.

These people climbed to the canopy of the tree and looked into the distance. They couldn't help being shocked. They saw along the White Wolf River Valley, a long dragon composed of cavalry that could not be seen from the beginning to the end, quickly crossing the road and heading southwest.

The sound of horseshoes was rolling, and the Khitan cavalry with hair on the left side of the horse and the left lapel of the animal clothes quickly passed through the dense forest with a longbow and a mace.In the center are hundreds of Khitan elites wearing white wool felt furs, and the Khitan white riders guarding a nobleman are marching.

This noble man is Dahe Mohui, the son of Khitan Khan Dahe Duoluo.

On horseback, Dahe Mohui glanced at the Mohe people retreating into the distance in the dense forest to the left and right, and curled his lips in disdain.

"My lord Yu Yue, there are quite a few Mohe tribes on both sides of the Bailang River, do you want to loot them?" A Khitan general asked.

Dahe Mohui sneered and said: "How could the goshawks in the sky catch the earthworms on the ground? The Mohe people are poorer than us Khitan people. Why do we rob him? Our goal is only one, and that is the Han people. It's better in winter."

"Yes, Master Yu Yue."

"Wait a minute," Dahemo said in a conversational voice, "but these Khitan people are all attached to that barbarian Li Chongjiu. You lead people to slaughter a few tribes and deter them, lest we go to Zhuojun County to fight grass valleys. Come make trouble."

"Yes." The general immediately took the order and immediately issued an order to continue.

For the Dahe Mohui, these Mohe people are just like ants. For him, the defeat at the Wuhou Qinshui River two years ago was the great shame and humiliation of the Khitan people.

With your 3 or [-] horses, you dare to fight against our [-] Khitan army. Isn't this impatient?

In the past two years, the Khitan people have learned from the pain and tried hard to reflect on the defeat of Wuhou Qinshui two years ago.It has to be said that Khitan people are fierce and fierce by nature, and the more they lose, the more they fight, and the heart of revenge is never dead.

Among the eight tribes of the Khitan, there are also talented and insightful people. At present, they think that the defeat two years ago was mainly because they were not familiar with the tactics of the Han people, and their equipment was far inferior to that of the opponent. Fighting each other, only caring about the people of their own tribes, the result was chased by the Han army, and they fled.

So before the expedition, as Khan's father, he made an oath to kill the white horse at the source of the White Wolf Water with Babu Yilijin, and the eight tribes worked together to advance and retreat together. .

Afterwards, all eight departments were fully mobilized. On the Horqin grassland, war horses galloped like clouds, and Khitan warriors came from all directions like streams flowing into the sea.

After a rough count, the eight Khitan armies jointly attacked more than 11, of which [-] were horse troops, and [-] were forest people. The so-called forest people Khitan means fishing and hunting for a living, not riding horses as infantry, But just as brave and good at fighting.

The 11 army was only 8 when they attacked Yuyi Town two years ago, but this time the Khitan has pulled out all its old foundations.

It was a battle where the fate of the entire tribe was gambled. Of course, Dahe Duoluo was very cautious, and also contacted the three tribes of the Xi clan, as well as Luo Yi and Gao Kaidao.Although Dahe Duoluo didn't think Khitan would lose to Li Chongjiu now, for the sake of prudence, he still called up several alliances to ensure nothing would go wrong.
Thinking of the Dahe Mohui here, he couldn't help thinking, this time, even without the support of the [-] Rangers from the three tribes of the Xi Clan, he can win steadily, but his father is still too cautious. Doesn't he know that the more people call, the more money he can get from fighting the grass valley? , do you want to share it with them?It's really not reconciled.
Liucheng.

Several garrison soldiers are taking turns looking into the beacon tower, throwing wet firewood.

Looking from the top of the city, the Khitan cavalry rushing towards the city, armed with swords and guns like a forest, and their chariots and horses coming in an orderly manner.The armies of the various ministries in the front and back were continuous, and the big white banners were one side after another, all of which were full of murderous aura.

Yang Linfu, governor of Liaoxi County, and Zhao Que'er, captain of the county, were looking at the Khitan cavalry who had come to the city and spread all over the mountains and plains.

"The Khitan marched in a well-organized manner, and they seemed to be as undisciplined as they mentioned."

"Yes, they have not improved in the past two years."

"Learn your salary and taste your courage. Know your shame and then be brave. I don't know if the Khitan people can do it."

"However, they don't know that all this has long been under the control of Lord Shanggu."

Yang Linfu and Zhao Que'er talked to each other, but there was no tension in their words.

"Has the quick horse gone to Zhuojun?"

"Yes, after receiving the letter from the beacon fire, the post station ten miles away has already released its horse and headed south."

Because the news that the Khitan and the Xi people would attack aggressively was known more than a month ago.

At present, Yang Linfu and Zhao Que'er have done nothing else for a month, but rebuilt Liucheng, not only dug an extra layer of trenches outside the city, but also obtained a large number of defense tools transported by Li Chongjiu from Zhuojun, such as throwing Stone machines, bed crossbows, city defense crossbows, kerosene, arrowheads...

In addition, there were 500 Han troops originally stationed in the city, and Li Chongjiu sent [-] Zhuojun soldiers as reinforcements to strengthen the city's defenses. At the same time, the city can store food for more than three months.

So even though the Khitan army is currently besieging the city, the morale of the defenders is high from top to bottom. Under the command of Yang Linfu and Zhao Que'er, they are confident enough to defend the city.

Turks, Tieshan Khan Court.

Under the sky, the sky on the grassland was clear and blue, and several large eagles with feathers like iron were hovering above it.

At this time, there was a clear sound in the air, and a white kite stretched its claws and landed directly on the leather armor on the right shoulder of the Turkic Khan.

Chu Luo smiled slightly, and fed a piece of bloody mutton to the kite, and then a kite servant took the kite away.Chuluo's hobby of playing with kites and falcons is already a public matter on the grasslands, so the Xi and Khitan tribes who surrendered to the Turks all tried to get kites and falcons from Liaodong to please Luo.

Therefore, there were dozens of Harrier slaves and Ulgar slaves accompanying Chuluo. In addition, there were six colorful leopards, and dozens of leopard slaves were also chasing them.

Accompanying him around Chuluo were all Turkic special service children. They accompanied the Khan on hunting trips.

But Chu Luozi looked at his subordinates and displayed their skills. Turkic life and death were all on horseback. Hunting is fighting, and fighting is hunting.

Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of shooting and hunting are also based on whether the Turkic upstarts can use it.

"Zhao Deyan, are our Turkic soldiers elite?" As soon as Chu Luo Khan finished speaking, Zhao Deyan came up behind him and said: "Khan who is incompetent must have been the best in the world in the past."

Chu Luo frowned slightly, and said, "What about now?"

Zhao Deyan said: "Of course it is still number one in the world now, but I am afraid that in the future Zhuo County..."

Chu Luo smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said, "You mean Lord Shanggu in Huaihuang Town?"

Zhao Deyan said: "From the battle between Huaihuang Town and the Hunhe King's Department, it can be seen that this Mohe heavy cavalry is an elite. In my opinion, it is not inferior to the Youzhou cavalry of the Sui Dynasty, which we regarded as the enemy in the past."

Chu Luo heard the words and didn't speak.Zhao Deyan said: "Khan, I am worried that if Huaihuang Town is allowed to go on like this, it will be a legacy of raising tigers. As far as I know, it seems that Tuli Khan and Huaihuang Town also have collusion. When I was in Tulina, I saw I have been to Ujumqinma..."

Chu Luo shook his whip, and Zhao Deyan quickly rolled down from his horse, threw himself on the grass, and said, "Khan, please forgive me, my whole heart is for you, Khan."

Seeing this scene, the Turkic people on all sides smiled slightly, and even the Harrier slaves, Ughur slaves and Leopard slaves were disdainful.

Chu Luo turned his horse's head, came to Zhao Deyan, put the whip on his shoulder, and said: "Get up, I don't mean to blame you."

After hearing this, Zhao Deyan stood up tremblingly.

Chu Luo said: "Your Zhao Deyan's loyalty, I know, how can I not see the threat of Huaihuang Town, how can I not know that Tu Li and that kid Li Chongjiu are colluding secretly."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Deyan said pleasantly, "Khan who is omnipotent and knows everything."

Chu Luo smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to flatter. Now Tuli and a group of people are secretly dealing with me. They are afraid that if there is another war and I monopolize the power, they will take the opportunity to weaken their power. They Although they are short-sighted and hinder my plan, it doesn't matter, I don't blame them."

Zhao Deyan immediately said in admiration: "Khan's mind is as broad as Tengger!"

Yan Chuluo said: "Okay, Tuli wants to use Li Chongjiu as his back to fight against me. I will cut his back first. This time, the Khitan and the three tribes of the Xi clan sent a total of 3 to [-] troops to attack. Li Chongjiu's confidant Zhuojun, with Li Chongjiu's [-] people, don't think that Zhuojun will be destroyed."

Zhao Deyan said in surprise: "It turns out that Khan has been planning it for a long time, but it's rare that the Xi clan and the Khitan are so obedient this time."

"Be obedient?" Chu Luo sneered, and said, "Now it's considered obedient, but mainly they also have this intention, but I pushed behind, so they dared to let go and dare."

Zhao Deyan said with a smile: "Khan is clever, so we don't have to take action, but we can also kill people with a knife, and eliminate a serious problem for Khan. Tuli is a fool, and he is still complacent. This Li Chongjiu has such a few troops, and he can't help it." Dare to fight against the Khitans, Huaihuang town is over. I really want to see Tuli's remorse after the Huaihuang town is broken!"

After Zhao Deyan finished speaking, everyone laughed.
