Chapter 313
Li Chongjiu didn't fight on his side, but the Khitan coalition army had already arrived on the other side, and Luo Yigao led a thousand fine cavalry each to join them.

When Luo Yi saw the Khitan's camp, the first thing he felt was that there were too many people to count, and the second was that it was disorganized and messy.

Khitan is still in the era of tribal alliance. Although it is divided into eight divisions, under each division there are leaders of various sizes.Therefore, once the army gathers, there will be a turmoil and chaos.

The Khitan Khan Dahe Duoluo, holding the green ox and white horse banner, was unable to convey orders to the eight Yi Lijin under his command, not to mention that in order to conquer the western part of Liaoning, the Khitan had to pull orders. Quite a few scattered members of the Shiwei, Baiyu, and Mohe tribes also came to take advantage of the fire to loot.
Therefore, checking and counting soldiers and horses has become a top priority. Now there are more than [-] horses in Khitan alone. According to the previous method of knotting and keeping track of events, it is not enough to take all the ropes of Khitan in one place. .

Seeing that the Khitan people are so chaotic, dozens or hundreds of people are scattered in a group here, where there is a group, Gao Kaidao just glanced at it with his mouth, but Luo Yi directly disdains, Sui Jun from the group leader, the team is, The brigade rate, school lieutenant, general, and general go up one level at a time, with a clear order of rank.

Looking at Li Chongjiu's army on the opposite side, you can see that more than 2 people marched in an orderly manner, and a banner of the Chinese army was mobilized to a regiment of 200 people like a finger.And the marching of the troops has an array, and each team and each regiment has its own rules and regulations.

Of course, Luo Yi is confident that he will lead troops by himself. He has been in the army for more than 1000 years, and he must be better than Li Chongjiu. At least he can see a few minor shortcomings in Li Chongjiu's camp, but so what, no matter how good his military strategy is, it is a pity He had only [-] men under his command.

Thinking of this, Luo Yi couldn't help but sighed up to the sky, and couldn't help lamenting why Lao Tzu had bad luck.
Faced with such a situation, the Khitan people finally found a solution. Facts have proved that even if they are uneducated, the living will not suffocate to death. The Khitan people also have their own local wisdom.

Dahe Duoluo used ropes to encircle a square in the center of the ground, and then ordered his soldiers to enter from the back. Each point was filled with 100 people, and then released from the front. After that, according to the Turkic military system, one hundred people were appointed for every one hundred people. long.

In the end, the Khitan people had more than 100 centurions, and Babu Yili Jin and Dahe Tuoluo's father and son each led a hundred centurions.Although Luo Yi looked down on the organization and discipline of the Khitan people, he did not dare to underestimate the Khitan's cavalry with their sturdy appearance.

After pressing the big camp, Luo Yi heard the sound of horns whining in the distance.

The sound of this horn horn was rough and loud, and then more than a dozen of the same horn horns sounded at the same time, echoing it, it was quite earth-shattering at first sight.

The Khitan soldiers all ran out of the tents, looked at the sound of the ox horn, and then the big banners rose from behind the distant mountain like white clouds, gradually covering the entire mountain.

In the big camp, Li Chongjiu and the general were discussing the military situation, when they suddenly heard the sound of a huge bull horn in the distance, as if some ferocious beast was roaring from a distance.

After hearing that the main forces of the three tribes of the Xi Clan had arrived, Li Chongjiu and the generals immediately stopped the military discussion and climbed up to observe the formation. They saw that the distant mountains were densely covered with various white and black banners.In the valley, the cavalry of the Xi clan rushed forward and backward like a great river having dug its embankment.

The three tribes of the Xi tribe, Mohe, Ding Ling, and the generals of the Han army are not very clear about the details of the three tribes of the Xi tribe. Now the generals of the Mukunxi tribe sent by the Qiuli Han here, Li Chongjiu and the generals report that the Xi tribe The details of the three parts.

First of all, the warriors of the royal family of Hunhe, who were born on the lush grassland of Ujumqin, are all skilled bow horses, especially the Ujumqin horses under their crotch.To guide a good horse and a good bow is the pursuit of the prairie warriors, and it is the dream of every prairie warrior to get an Ujimqin horse.

The Ujimqin horse is a famous breed among Turkic horses. It has the character of being hardworking, hungry, thirsty, heat-resistant and cold-resistant. It runs fast and has great vigor.But among the more than 2 cavalrymen of the King's Department of Disgrace, everyone rode on their hips.

Of course, the warriors of the Hunhe royal tribe who rode Ujumqin horses were also the fastest runners on the grasslands and the best at long-distance raids on cavalry. Even the Turks were somewhat afraid of the humiliated warriors of the royal tribe.
Li Chongjiu pointed along the generals of the Mukunxi tribe, and saw the big banner woven with five colors in the distance.This big banner was given to him by Khan Turkic in the same year to rule the five tribes of the Xi clan.Li Chongjiu thought a little bit when he saw the military appearance of the King of Hunhe.

Then the other party continued to introduce the other two, Mohefu and Qizhen. Although the war horses were not as good as the Hunhe king's tribe, they also had their own characteristics.

The Mohefu tribe is said to be among the five tribes of the Xi tribe, the tribe that is best at animal husbandry, except for cattle, sheep and horses.The Mohefu Department likes to raise pigs the most.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. Hogs are pigs. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Han people liked beef and mutton rather than pork.

The Mohofer people, of course, raise pigs for their meat and skin.Mohefu killed pigs and worshiped pigs. According to General Mukun, many soldiers of the Fang clan had pig patterns tattooed on their bodies.

Hearing what the other party said, Li Chongjiu's Han generals all laughed out loud, saying that there is no such eccentricity.In Yu Chigong's words, it really is a group of hog dogs.

Li Chongjiu also smiled, but he knew that worshiping hogs was not uncommon in the Dongyi tribe and even the Tungus tribe.Among the Manchus, Nurhachi means wild boar skin in Manchu language, and his younger brother Shuerhaqi means small wild boar skin. At the same time, when the ancient Chinese made characters, they compared them word by word to shooting and hunting. Hunt wild boar.

Li Chongjiu looked around and saw that most of the Mohefu cavalry had wild boar teeth on their bodies, pheasant tails as crown decorations, and all wore leather armor and shields made of wild boar skin.Anyone who has hunted knows that wild boar skin is hard, so although the leather armor made of wild boar skin is not as good as iron armor, it is much harder than ordinary leather armor.

As for the Qijiao tribe, which is located in the northernmost of the several tribes of the Xi tribe, not only the Han people, but also the Xi people do not know much about it. I heard that their tribe and the Baijiao are very harmonious. Generations of intermarriage, and among the tribe, the women are also very sturdy and brave, and often go to battle with their husbands.

But this time they marched south with Khitan, and according to scout reports, there were also two or three thousand female cavalry troops in the Khitan tribe.

Mohefu and Qizheng each sent more than [-] cavalry each this time, and together with the Hunhe King's department, the force exceeded [-] cavalry.

When the Xi cavalry, wearing felt shirts and holding arrows, arrived at the plain from the valley, the Khitan people at the foot of the mountain were very loud, and the Khitan people also blew horns to welcome the arrival of the friendly troops.

The cheers of the Khitan soldiers filled the mountains and plains.The Khitan raised their axes, hammers, and maces high, pulled open the animal skins on their chests and began to shout, as if they had won a great victory.

Seeing this scene, Mohe, Ding Ling, and even the generals of the Han army all looked worried, and suddenly said to Li Chongjiu: "Khan, if the boss doesn't lead the army up again, I'm afraid our army's morale will be shaken."

"That's right, our current military strength is not enough to fight against Khitan Xiren."

"That's right, should we send troops to search westward and respond? I think it must be because the Khitans blocked the news."

Li Chongjiu was silent when he heard the words.
Contrary to the upsurge of the Khitan people, Li Chongjiu's camp of the Han army was very quiet, seemingly indifferent, and also seemed to be scared out of his wits.This made the Khitan people flaunt their might for a while.

After joining forces, the morale of the Khitan Xi people was high, Luo Yigao and others from the Khitan Xi clan held a military meeting to discuss the decisive battle.

The leaders of several Khitan Xi tribes didn't think much of Luo Yi when he saw that Luo Yi was high and had few soldiers.

As the leader of the alliance this time, Da He Duo Luo did not make a sound, but he had an opinion on the disgraceful king's tribe, Qi Jin Wo Mandu, and said unceremoniously in front of everyone: "You two Han generals also have two counties in their hands. , There must be tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, why did they bring this few people this time?"

Luo Yi remained silent, out of contempt, also because he was not familiar with such people, and more importantly, he could not understand Turkic language.However, Gao Kaidao has some acquaintances. When he was in Yuyang County, he surrendered to the Turks, just like Liu Wuzhou and Li Yuan, and wanted to use the Turks to increase his strength.

This time, he contacted the Khitan of Shangxi to attack Zhuo County together, and acted in the middle to support him. He also had the merit of contacting.

Gao Kaidao said in an unauthentic Turkic dialect: "We fought with Li Chongjiu before, and all our subordinates suffered heavy losses. I lost Anle County, while Brother Luo lost Zhuo County. But it is true that we still have thousands of steps left. pawns, but stay behind to threaten the enemy's rear food road. If the enemy does not rush to a decisive battle with us, our infantry will take the initiative to cut off the rear of the Liaoxi County."

"What a joke!" Omandu scolded directly, "Then Li Manzi's subordinates are all cavalry, and your infantry moves very slowly, how can you cut off their food routes?"

Gao Kaidao was stunned and didn't expect that the opponent was also familiar with the art of war, and said: "After a long time, it will definitely reveal its flaws. There are enough soldiers and horses here. If we leave a soldier and horse behind it, the effect will be greater than here. "

"You Han people are cunning, cowardly, and afraid of death!" A general of the Xi clan snorted, disregarding Gao Kaidao's words, and made a judgment directly.

Gao Kaidao wanted to say a few words after hearing the words, but seeing the faces of the people present, he stopped talking at the moment. He was a little bit envious of Luo Yi at this moment, and couldn't understand a word of Turkic words.

Luo Yi saw Gao Kaidao's expression, sneered and whispered in Chinese: "People like this don't know how powerful Thief Li is. It's good to let them run into trouble. By then, these people will know how to respect Lao Tzu."

Gao Kaidao shook his head, and also whispered in Chinese: "Brother Luo, I don't think the situation is right. The kid surnamed Li is only 4 horses. No matter how stupid the Khitan people are to ridicule people, you say rush hard Squeeze is true, and we can beat it. When Khitan Xiren wins, what will the two of us do? Isn't it even more worthless?"

Luo Yi also nodded after hearing Gao Kaidao's words.

Note [-]: It is said in the history books that Tuoba Gui plundered Xi and got more than [-] horses, cattle, sheep and pigs.It shows that the Xi people raised pigs on a large scale at that time.
