Chapter 142 slaughter the city oath
Gaokaidao of Youzhou gathered with the five leaders of the Xi tribe, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
The Xi tribe is also one of the nations that has lasted forever in the grassland. In the early days, it was called the Donghu because it was east of the Xi tribe. It was called the Wuhuan during the Han Dynasty, and it was also called Xianbei during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Now it is called the Xi tribe. The Xi tribe has lived in Ruoshui Prefecture, Qilizhou, Luoguizhou, Tailu Prefecture, and Huiye Prefecture for generations. It is divided into five divisions, including the Ahui tribe, the Ahui tribe, the Ahui tribe, the Duji tribe, and the Yuanqizhe tribe. Because the Ahui tribe has the strongest strength, the chief of the Ahui tribe was also respected as the Xi King.
Each of their films is not strong, but they have the advantage of relying on each other and being close to each other as a family. When one side is in trouble, all sides will support each other to form a unique existence on the grassland. The grassland people also habitually regard them as a whole and dare not have any inappropriate thoughts about them.
The Xi tribe is a descendant of the Xianbei tribe, which is naturally the Xianbei language that is commonly used on the grassland. In order to embrace the Turks, Gao Kaidao also specially learned Xianbei language and had no trouble talking to the leaders of the five Xi tribes.
"King Xi, great chiefs, the scouts of my delegation have found out the latest developments of the Tang Dynasty. They have arrived in Dingzhou and may enter Youzhou at any time. It is only one or two days away from us. I think we have already gained almost. Can we withdraw our troops? The commander of Li Tang is Luo Shixin, who is a fierce master. Ten thousand Turkic soldiers can easily be destroyed by him." Gao Kaidao looked happy and smiled happily.
Perhaps because I was used to the Turkish invasions when the horses were fat in autumn, the defense of the Tang border troops was not very strict in spring. The local border troops were okay to deal with Gao Kaidao, but when they faced the Xi cavalry who occupied a place on the grassland, they felt like they were hitting stones with eggs.
Although Gao Kaidao was brave and had little strategy, he had been in charge of ten years and had some strategies and tactics. This time he invaded, he used some tricks. He led the Xi clan in secret, and advanced one after another. In the New Year, the border soldiers, led by the chief of Youzhou Wang Shi, attacked Gao Kaidao and repelled the invasion head-on. Because of this, the border soldiers felt that Gao Kaidao was just like this, so they didn't care and directly sent troops to fight.
As a result, 30,000 Xi cavalry arrived and defeated the Tang border army in an all-round way. Almost all of them were wiped out.
Originally, border troops were still guarding each other in various prefectures and counties, and according to the previous fighting style, they were defending and waiting for assistance. The losses were minimized. Now that the border troops were defeated, the remaining soldiers could only barely protect important prefectures and counties. The small rural counties were powerless, allowing Gao Kaidao and the Xi tribe to sweep the entire sky.
The harvest from this entry sweep is even greater than the previous harvest. Moreover, because local officials attach importance to agriculture. The fields in Youzhou were planted with seedlings, and Gao Kaidao swept the seedlings all over, solving the urgent needs of Yuyang. Therefore, Gao Kaidao was already quite satisfied with the harvest of this invasion. Especially when he knew that Luo Shixin, the general in the Tang Dynasty was Luo Shixin, he couldn't help but be scared. He annihilated 20,000 Turkic soldiers in two battles. Even Turkic Khan Jie Li remembered the three words Luo Shixin, let alone the dog raised by Jie Li.
King Xi Ah Huiru said dissatisfiedly: "Are you still resting? It's okay. We wait for them to enter Youzhou at our speed, and it's time to retreat."
The Great Chief Jihu said: "What the king said is reasonable. This has not been bought yet. The opportunity is rare. How can I not grab more points?" They had the most troops, and the materials they robbed were naturally far better than Gao Kaidao. In addition, they entered the country for the first time and did not know what it means to stop at the right time, which made ** charmed his eyes and reluctant to leave.
The same is true for the other three major chiefs, and they all said they had not won enough.
Gao Kaidao shouted anxiously: "I have many bad things. I have experience in this regard. It is better to withdraw back to Yuyang quickly."
King Xi, Ah Huiru thought about it and felt that Gao Kaidao's help would be inevitable invasion in the future, and he did not want to cause displeasure between the two sides. He said happily: "The last Gu'an County, we will retreat after the Gu'an County... King Yan, you also know that Gu'an County is rich in the nearby area, and there are not many guards. Isn't it a pity if you don't eat the fat meat you get? Besides, we have 50,000 soldiers now, and Luo Shixin may not dare to fight us head-on in the field." Originally, there were only 30,000 cavalry in the Xi tribe, but because the progress was too smooth, Ah Huiru transferred 10,000 cavalry from the north as porters. In addition, Gao Kaidao's 10,000 soldiers were not inferior to the 50,000 brought by Luo Shixin.
Seeing that Ah Hui took a step back, Gao Kaidao no longer forced him and agreed.
They had 50,000 soldiers, and the small Gu'an County had only more than 1,500 guards, and they thought it would be a crushing result. No one would have expected that the small Gu'an County would launch a tenacious resistance beyond their imagination.
************
Luo Shixin rested in Dingzhou for more than a day. When he learned that the Xi army and Gao Kaidao were besieging Gu'an County, he immediately ordered the three armies to dispatch, with nearly 50,000 troops heading straight to Gu'an County in a mighty manner.
Luo Shixin knew that reinforcing soldiers was like putting out fires, so he ordered soldiers to speed up and move forward as much as possible while maintaining a certain combat effectiveness.
but……
They are still one step late!!!
When Luo Shixin approached Gu'an County, he saw several smoky smoke from afar. The spring breeze blew on his face, and the pungent smell of charred and mixed with various things, and a little bit of blood.
"not good!"
Luo Shixin's face changed drastically, and his expression was extremely ugly. At this time, the scout rode his horse, his eyes were already red, and his handsome face turned aside, and he cried and shouted: "General, Gu'an County is over! No living person!"
Shiver!
Luo Shixin's body trembled slightly, and he took several deep breaths before forcibly suppressing the violent aura, and three words popped out from the cracks of his teeth: "Look!"
Come outside Gu'an County!
The entire disaster-stricken county was left with only a dead silence, and even the air was filled with the terrifying feeling of death.
At this glance, the whole street was filled with corpses, broken limbs and broken arms were everywhere, and the smell of blood was floating in the air, just like hell on earth.
miserable!
As a top student who has been educated and trained for fifteen years, Luo Shixin found that the scene in front of him could not even come up with a word to describe such a scene.
There is only one "miserable!"
Blood soaked every inch of land on the long street, gathered into a stream, spreading everywhere, forming a large disgusting dark red mud.
Luo Shixin walked into the county, stepped on the scarlet land, and engraved the scene in his mind: On the left is a pregnant woman with traces of rape everywhere, her belly was broken, and a baby like a mouse was cruelly thrown aside.
On his right hand is a tragic scene of a family of five fighting to death with a Xi soldier: the 60-year-old man was chopped to the face, and his head was broken open in half. The white-haired old woman's head was separated from her body, one meter away. A middle-aged man fell to the ground with a Xi soldier and fell behind her back. A scimitar passed through her chest from her back. There was also a child's body that was almost cut into meat paste, which could only be identified from the exposed bones. There was a bloody kitchen knife next to the body. There were several traces of being cut by the kitchen knife at the throat of the frightened Xi soldier's body.
One by one, Luo Shixin engraved the tragic situation of Gu'an County in his mind, swept the surrounding scenes, and said softly, "Just wait for me for a few days, I, Luo Shixin, swear that I will let them come down to accompany you and use their blood to irrigate the land of your survival."

Pinggu Mountain Cold on the border of Yuyang!
Since Su Dingfang ordered a surprise attack on Yuyang, he stopped all the way and rushed to the outside of Pinggu Mountain in the Tibetan army, waiting for the opportunity to attack.
Time is illusory. If it says it exists, it exists. If it says it does not exist, it does not exist.
Especially the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting and most people cannot grasp it at all.
Therefore, the arduous task of going deep behind enemy lines and rushing to a long distance has never been wise and courageous.
If it weren't for Su Dingfang in the army, Luo Shixin would not have dared to boldly use two thousand soldiers to go deep into the enemy's rear to attack Yuyang, a strategic location.
When Luo Shixin secretly conveyed the task, he just gave him four words and adapted to the situation.
Let him complete the task in different ways according to different situations.
Luo Shixin believed that Su Dingfang's ability would be able to live up to expectations.
Su Dingfang was waiting calmly. He had only two thousand people, but there were as many as 15 scouts sent out now. He hoped to discover and create a more suitable fighter: Yuyang, as a strategic capital of Gaokaidao, has made the city empty due to Gaokaidao's departure, and there is an opportunity to take over, but doing so will inevitably cause great casualties. It will be extremely unfavorable to Luo Shixin's next plan. Luo Shixin's ultimate goal is not only Yuyang.
Thinking of Luo Shixin's final plan, Su Dingfang was filled with emotion and admiration.
Su Dingfang had always felt grateful to Luo Shixin, and some admiration. But this admiration was limited to Luo Shixin's high position but no manners, his upright attitude, his extraordinary bravery and various things that he could not reach. Only in military use, Su Dingfang did not have that feeling about Luo Shixin. He did not think that he, who came from a general family, would be inferior to Luo Shixin in this regard. Luo Shixin performed better than him because he sat in the seat of the general. If he were to be this general, he believed that he could achieve corresponding achievements.
Until a few days ago, Su Dingfang learned all his layout and strategic goals from Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang was truly convinced. He knew that even if he and Luo Shixin were sitting on the same son, he could not think of such bold, stunning, fantastic ideas and feasible strategic layout.
The first point of expanding the overall layout is whether he can take Yuyang first: unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not intend to force it directly, as that would be too hurt.
"General, there is a group of Yan soldiers north of Yuyang, pressing two thousand people towards Yuyang and heading for Yuyang."
