Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two

In the Battle of Jiashankou, Brother Yeluxiu was defeated. The remnants of the defeated generals only had more than 10,000 people who escaped from the encirclement.Yang Jiye, who has never been seen in public, led a group of troops to surprise Tang County before, and has been waiting for news after recovering Tang County. After Li Huating and Liu Tingrang defeated Brother Yeluxiu, they immediately sent people to inform them that Yeluxiu was defeated. It was impossible for his back road to be cut off by the enemy's iron cavalry. Yang Jiye immediately dispatched troops from Tang County and rushed forward overnight. After bloody battles night after day, he captured the former Song army fortress in Damao Mountain the next evening.

Occupying this fortress, the Song army completely cut off the connection between the east and west Liao armies that invaded the Song territory, attacked Lingqiu in the west, Linghu in the middle, and Yizhou in the east, laying a solid foundation for the Song army to counterattack. Base.In this battle, the Song army recovered the four cities of Tangxian, Tangshan, Wangdu, and Beiping, beheaded 37,000 ranks, obtained tens of thousands of horses, captured twelve generals of the Liao State alive, and captured more than 30,000 Liao soldiers. There are countless battles. Just like during the battle of Gaolianghe, brother Yeluxiu caught a small mistake of Zhao Guangyi, took the opportunity to tear it up and expanded it, thus turning the whole battle situation from a comprehensive defense to a comprehensive counterattack, how could Yang Hao let it go? This rare opportunity?The Song Army's counterattack began with the defeat of the 80,000 elite division of the Liao Kingdom in the Battle of Xiaotanghe.This counterattack started from east to west on the entire front, Yanmenguan, Fuzhou, Zhulunchuan, and even the entire Eastern Front battlefield. All Song troops were fully engaged in the battle.

The Song Army has always integrated offense and defense, and is especially famous for its defense. After the Xixia Corps merged with it, it used a full-offensive formation for the first time. The next day, Yang Yanlang and Tong Yu led the troops to attack Baozhou.Brother Yeluxiu hasn't suffered a big loss since the great victory in Youzhou. His troops are invincible in every battle, which inevitably breeds arrogance. As a result, he suffered a crushing defeat in Dingzhou City. This defeat will definitely affect the entire battle situation. After escaping back to Baozhou, he knew that the Song army would arrive later, and immediately began to deploy defenses. At the same time, he quickly issued military orders to all Liao troops, and decisively decided to switch from strategic offensive to strategic defense, and maintain the results of the war as much as possible.He also repaired a letter and sent someone to report it to Youzhou quickly. While pleading guilty, he also reported the unexpected situation of Song and Xixia joining forces to the Queen Mother.

The only source of Song's ability to have so many horses and well-trained cavalry is Xixia.What's more, Brother Yeluxiu had confronted the Xixia army for a long time when he came to Zhuolunchuan. He was quite familiar with the Xixia army, and he had even heard of the two powerful troops of the Xixia army, the heavy armored soldiers and the Modao formation.Thinking of it now, why didn't he understand what he encountered in Xiaotanghe? He knew that when Xixia used troops against Longyou, the latest information he received was that Yang Hao had already marched towards Guanzhong.The Liao Kingdom moved southward in a big way. Apart from the defeat of the Song Kingdom from Youzhou, which seriously injured its vitality, the other two rely on Zhao Guangyi's accidental death, the succession of the young master, and the direct war between Xixia and Song Kingdom. Enemy.

What's the matter now?Why did the Xixia soldiers join forces with the Song army and fight side by side?In the Central Plains, what happened? Tong Yu and Yang Yanlang's troops approached the city of Baozhou, but they couldn't attack fiercely, so they decided to clear the periphery first, so Tong Yu continued to attack the city with a bluff, while Yang Yanlang quietly led his troops away from Baozhou, and turned to attack the surrounding area of ​​Baozhou, which was still surrounded by Liao soldiers. Yang Yanlang conquered Suicheng that night and used it as his base, which became a nail in Baozhou's eyes.

Brother Yeluxiu really wanted to find out all this, but it was a pity that it was impossible for the scouts sent on the battlefield to detect these major events in the opponent's empire, so Brother Yeluxiu sent an order to capture a few enemy soldiers alive.Tong Yu led the army to attack the city, deliberately opened a gap, and it was not difficult to capture a few more Song soldiers. Soon, Brother Yeluxiu figured out what happened in the Central Plains during this period. This major incident in the Central Plains, many border guards of the Song Dynasty were also kept in the dark before Yang Hao's army arrived, and the ins and outs of the whole incident may not be clear until now, but Tong Yu's soldiers came from Long Right to Guanzhong, and then to Bianliang to open the three passes, they were very clear about the whole story. Brother Yeluxiu figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, and couldn't help being surprised.

Now that Song and Xixia are united, not only the military strength has increased sharply, but the morale has been greatly boosted. Moreover, the army of Song State that is confronting Xixia on the Hengshan line, and even the army of Xixia, will inevitably launch an attack on the Liao army. The national soldiers and horses may be in danger.He immediately felt that the enemy was strong and invincible. It was not enough to just switch from offense to defense. He wanted to keep the fruits of victory and firmly control the occupied states and counties. Now only by actively withdrawing the troops and withdrawing to the territory of the Liao Kingdom, can it be possible to stabilize the position.

Brother Yeluxiu immediately planned a second order to issue a withdrawal order for the entire theater, and ordered the defenders in the city to prepare immediately and break through overnight. The defense focus of Tong Yu's siege army was on the northern city. It was night when Brother Yeluxiu drove to the west city. In Baozhou, Brother Yeluxiu has already made great achievements.Most of the people in Baozhou City were safe and sound, and they were not looted and poked by Brother Yeluxiu, or massacred civilians to vent their anger. This is of course because the Liao army's purpose of going south this time is to occupy the territory of the Song Dynasty, so they don't want to treat the local people too harshly, and it is also because Brother Yeluxiu has always opposed nuisance and bullying of ordinary people when using troops.This is indeed an upright and aboveboard hero of the Northland, but since they have become rivals for the benefit of their respective countries, this feeling of sympathy has to be put aside.

When Yang Hao heard the news, he also sighed for it, but it didn't last long, because the war had already started.It's just that there is loud thunder and little rain at Zhuolunchuan, Fuzhou, and Yanmen Pass. The Song Army received the order that even if they can win, they should not go too deep. Their main task is to create a momentum to contain the Liao Kingdom. With the soldiers and horses in the south courtyard, Yang Hao's main attack direction...is in the northeast.
Qilian Mountains, thousands of miles of high mountains and mountains are covered with snow. The first snow this winter has fallen so heavily.

Overnight, the snow was covered in a vast expanse, and the howling north wind blows the snow foam straight into people's necks. In such an environment, any traces on the ground can be smoothed like a mirror within an hour. Wanting to hunt down a team of dozens of people in such an environment is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.But Aguli refused to give up, a fire was burning in her heart. Wearing a men's battle robe, white leather jacket, white leather trousers, and a furry leather waistcoat, a leather hat with ear protection and a machete hanging on his waist. The only thing exposed outside is a pair of big eyes with pale frost hanging on the black eyebrows.

Standing on a hillside with little snow, Aguli looked down at the snow field in front of him. The snow field was vast, burying shallow rivers and yellow grasslands underneath. The snow was boundless, and the distant mountains were like shadows. Behind her, there is a cavalry team of nearly a thousand people, all wearing furry fur robes and hats that are very effective in keeping out the cold. The formation seems to be scattered, but in fact there is a hidden secret, and they can go into battle in the form of three people and one team to cooperate with each other at any time. In the distance, a black dot moved quickly, and as it got closer, it got closer, and gradually it became clear that it was a man and a horse. The knight on the horse galloped all the way, galloped up the hillside, and when he came near Aguli, he pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse Xi Yuyu let out a long hiss, kicking the snowflakes under his feet.The wind was blowing, making the wolf on Aguli's shoulders and leather jacket tremble slightly, but she remained motionless like a white marble rock sculpture. "Report, my subordinates have heard the news that Yeluohe has led more than 20 riders and has fled to the yak tribe." Aguli raised her eyebrows slightly: "Yak tribe? Don't they know my order? Any tribe who dares to take in those who fall at night will be killed without mercy!" "I know...of course I know, but Tie Moke, the leader of the Yak tribe, and Ye Luohe are sworn brothers, so..." Aguli sneered: "Sworn brothers? It's just a stupid pig being used by others!" She lifted the rein suddenly, raised her breath, and shouted sharply: "Go forward, attack the yak tribe!" In the Yak tribe, Yeluohe had a strong drink and chat with Tie Moke, talked about his brotherhood, talked about his plan to make a comeback, promised a bunch of benefits from castles in the air, and returned to the yurt specially set up for him. The undefeated heroism was instantly swept away, and he collapsed on the wolf fur mattress extremely exhausted. The felt tent is very simple. The living conditions of the yak tribe are not very good, but it is very warm. The charcoal fire in the stove is booming, and the tent is warm. When the lights are turned off, only the red light of the charcoal fire shines on the entire felt tent. . Once defeated, defeated again, retreated, retreated again, where else can I escape now?Luo Dan is unreliable after all. As soon as Yang Hao's soldiers arrived, he surrendered and stabbed himself in the back. Fortunately, he has always been on guard against this old boy and did not dare to trust him too much. Defeated, but did not take his life because of it.Since then, he has been defeated one after another, and the soldiers and horses in his hands have been consumed less and less, so he can only hide in Tibet. By virtue of his familiarity with the surrounding terrain of Qinghai Lake in the past two years, he escaped the pursuit of that mad woman in Aguli time and time again, but that woman actually issued an order, whoever the Qiang tribe, the Tubo tribe, and the Huihe tribe in Qinghai Lake, If you dare to take him in, you will be guilty of the same crime as him. For a while, his noble Huihe Khan turned into a street mouse that everyone shouted and beat. He didn't dare to trust Timoco completely, but if he didn't go to Timoco, more than 20 people like him who lacked clothing and food would have to freeze to death on the snowfield.Right now, he has arranged the twenty or so confidantes around his yurt, and Ye Luohe lay on the warm and soft wolf fur mattress with his clothes on, secretly thinking: "It's not safe here, we have to return tomorrow." Let's go, get some dried meat and shochu from Tie Moke, and continue to flee westward, this stinky woman will not go after Gaochang country, will she?" After all, he was getting older, and after so many days of living in the wind, sleeping in the open, and being frightened, he finally lay down in a comfortable place. Ye Luohe was really tired, thinking about the next step, his eyes gradually became sleepy. At this time, Aguli's men and horses have surrounded the yak tribe's camp like ghosts.The tribes on the prairie herd horses and herd sheep, and fight against the sky, the earth, and the people. Their lives are very difficult. The changes in the weather, the ravages of wolves, the plunder of other tribes, and various conditions have formed their vigilant character like foxes. , it is not easy to sneak attack such a tribe. And Aguli didn't want to sneak attack, her method was surprise attack. The shepherd dogs of the yak tribe yelled wildly, and the herds of cattle and horses made a commotion. Just as the vigilant tribesmen grabbed the long knives placed beside their pillows, the sound of shouting and killing rang out in all directions in the entire camp. In an instant, only the cold wind howled In the camp, people shouted and horses neighed, cattle and sheep bleated, dogs barked wildly, and Aguli's cavalry broke in. Kicking the camp to break the account, without giving the other party a chance to react, the battle began.The knights roared and galloped back and forth, and there was the shepherd who hurried out of the yurt with weapons in his hands and hadn't figured out the situation yet. The fast horses passed by them like the wind, and the sharp steel knives shot from their necks. In an instant, it flew overhead, bringing up a cloud of blood, and a heavy corpse fell heavily on the snow with a bang, and there was no more sound. In the middle of the night, you can't see your fingers. Even the white snow in the sky makes any faint light play to the extreme. The ground is gray enough to identify people. In front of the lightning-like spears and spears, coupled with the quick arrows shot by the knights with flexible skills, the tribesmen of the yak tribe fell down one by one like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and the resistance was very short. Also very weak. Ye Luohe was half dreaming and half awake, not sleeping soundly. Suddenly hearing the screams, he sat up abruptly and grabbed the saber tightly. "What's going on? Did Aguli come after her, or did some other tribe plunder the yak tribe?" Ye Luohe's heart was pounding, and several confidant guards rushed into the tent, holding torches in their hands: "Khan, there is a night attack." Ye Luohe jumped up, leaped to the tent opening with one stride, and saw fast horses coming and going outside, roaring and fighting, short knives and long spears, with bows and crossbows in between, the attack was fierce and fierce, extremely terrifying, Timoko and a group of people living in the center The samurai with dignity reacted and rushed out of the tent with their knives and bows in disheveled clothes, but this was nothing more than death. The murderous night raiders came roaring in, unstoppable, and there was no chance for them to fight back. There were chaotic figures and roars, although Tie Moke and the others were brave and even risked their lives, but when they rushed out of the camp and killed them by surprise, the end of failure was already doomed, and the bloody massacre continued In just a quarter of an hour, the resistance became only sporadic and spontaneous acts. At this time, someone probably had caught the shepherds of the yak tribe and asked where they were. Many people dismounted one after another and approached Yeluohe's felt tent with bloody sabers and spears. It's not that Ye Luohe doesn't want to escape, it's just that as a distinguished guest, he lives in the center of the yak tribe, and his horses are not outside the felt tent. If he rushes out in such a chaotic situation, the danger will be even greater. He can only I hope that these uninvited guests are just a certain tribe's idea of ​​the yak tribe because of the sad winter. In that case, he may not have a chance of survival. Although Aguli issued a killing order, there are very few tribes who dare to take him in. , but as a member of the Nine Clans with the surname of the Huihe King and the leader of the Huihe tribe in Qinghai Lake for so long, not many tribes dared to arrest him and invite him to Aguli. It was a kind of natural awe. It doesn't matter how many horses there are, it's because of his noble blood, a prince is a prince, even if he has fallen, it's not something ordinary Huihe people with wealth and wealth dare to humiliate him lightly. But soon he became desperate. Several soldiers raised their hands, grabbed them, pulled them hard, and with a loud bang, the entire felt tent collapsed, exposing him and the few confidants who were protecting him, and more and more people gathered around him. There are more, surrounded them in the center, there are several torches in front of them, the flames are flying with the wind, and they are burning vigorously. Although everyone is dressed very bloated, the one in the middle is still much slimmer than the big men next to them , she only showed a pair of eyes, only seeing these eyes, Ye Luohe's heart sank deeply. "Are you blaming me? Are you blaming me? The foundation of Ganzhou is in jeopardy. Countless clansmen have lost their lives on the battlefield. If others die, can't you die?" Seeing the cold and contemptuous eyes all around, Ye Luohe suddenly roared in despair. Aguli stood quietly, and said coldly: "Then, you sent Ali to sneak back to Ganzhou, trying to kill me, and instigating old Hu Wenwen and Su Erman to turn against each other, how can you explain it?" Ye Luohe became angry from embarrassment: "I am a great Khan, I am a big Huihe man, everything belongs to me, pastures, cattle and sheep, your lives, for the great cause, what can't you sacrifice? I tell you to live as long as you live, If I tell you to die, you must die! Therefore, I am your Khan, I am your big man, who dares to kill me? Who dares to kill me?" "Not now!" Aguli said lightly, pointing her finger, "Swish, swish..." Countless sharp arrows shot at them, and after a while, Ye Luohe and the guards around him were covered in arrows and fell to the ground slowly . Aguli quietly looked at Ye Luohe's body with complicated eyes. After a while, a confidant general quietly walked to her side: "My lord, what should we do now?" Aguli unbuttoned her mask.A small red mouth was revealed: "After Yeluohe was defeated, General Ai hurriedly pulled his troops away. Hearing that the king was using troops against Beiliao, Longyou was newly restored, and the foundation was not stable. We... will temporarily Sit in Longyou and guard the backyard for the King!" "Yes, then their... corpses?" "Where is the loess not burying people?" Aguli glanced at the corpse of the man who used to be her man for the last time, the slight confusion in her eyes disappeared, and the eyes were shining and clear as water.
