Chapter 144: Infighting
The border of Yuyang!
Peng Shuang escorted the thousands of people crying, and felt a little upset. He raised his whip and whipped at someone, shouting and cursing: "Why are you crying? I can't get any oil and water. I'm crying and cutting your tongue."
In ancient times, manpower was priceless, so in ancient times, there were many people who forced to move the people in battle. In the past, Cao Cao failed to Ding Junshan and withdrew his troops and abandoned Hanzhong, he forced to move the people in Hanzhong, leaving a huge empty shell for Shu Han. After several invasions of the Turks, he also forcibly wrapped the people of the Central Plains into the Turks and acted as laborers.
The Turkic Khan Jie Li knew the value of manpower for a long time, but the Xi clan only knew how to grab money and goods, but he was disdainful of manpower.
Gao Kaidao happened to have fled the land and lacked farming people. He discussed with the Xi tribe that he tried to kill as little as possible and left the people to him back to Yuyang. The Xi tribe also hoped that Gao Kaidao would take him into Youzhou to rob and rob, and sold his face and left the people to him.
Gao Kaidao ordered people to send the people back to Yuyang in batches to expand the pitiful population of Yuyang.
Compared to robbing the army and being responsible for escorting the people, it has to be said that it is a thankless chore, and there is no such thing as any oil or water.
Peng Shuang walked along the way, complaining all the way, because he was dissatisfied with the death of as many as five people under his whip.
He let him whip it, and under Peng Shuang's tyranny, the young man who could not help but howl with a knife wound on his thigh endured the pain and limped forward.
While cursing, Peng Shuang suddenly found that the war horse stood up and stopped moving forward. He just looked ahead alertly. There was a hill in front of him, and his vision was under the hills. He didn't know what was behind him.
I looked up and saw that my eyes were stabbed by the strong light for a while before I could see things clearly. I saw countless soldiers riding horses and light armored over the hills, topped down, and bent over and rushed.
"Warning!" Peng Shuang's hair stood up, and he had been in the army for ten years and was very experienced. He couldn't hear the sound of horse hooves rushing on the cavalry. After calling for alert, he turned around and ran away without saying a word.
There were less than 200 people in their lives, except for him, and the rest were infantrymen. How to resist the trampling of thousands of cavalrymen? It would be better to let them resist for a while and give him some time to escape.
He thought it simple, but at the moment he turned around, a long arrow penetrated his body and shot him to death on the horse's back. The body rolled to the ground and let the horse drag it away.
Su Dingfang retracted the bow and arrow, clamped his horse's belly with both feet, and rushed into the enemy group with his own hands...
In the hills, two thousand cavalry attacked hundreds of infantry with dive force. The result was no calculation. Just one wave, a hundred corpses were left on the ground. All the Yan soldiers were killed.
Two thousand people were crowded in a group, looking at the sudden uninvited guest in shock, not knowing whether it was an enemy or a friend. But the bloody scene made them, who had never seen the world, so scared that they dared not speak out, and looked at Su Dingfang, who could control their life and death at close range, in fear.
Su Dingfang swung the blood on the spear and showed a kind smile and said, "Su Dingfang, the general of the Right Guard of the Tang Dynasty, is ordered by Luo Shixin, the general of the Youzhou marching commander, to attack Yuyang and rescue you. You wait for a while, and after I take Yuyang, I will let you go."
The people looked at each other. At first they were confused, but when they saw soldiers treating them very friendly, they felt very at ease.
Su Ding asked the people for coats, and asked a hundred people to pull out Gao Kaidao Yan Army's military flag and uniforms to change them.
The soldiers' disheveled hair and changed into clothes with blood and mud, which were not much different from those of the desolate people.
A hundred people were left to watch the people's horses, so as not to panic when the people left. Exposing their intentions and ruining their major affairs, Su Dingfang personally pretended to be an officer escorting the people and rushed to Yuyang City openly.
Since the robbery of the south, people would escort the people into the city every now and then. Although the lookout soldiers on the city tower were responsible, they did not care too much about Su Dingfang and his group, and allowed them to approach slowly without any precautions.
It was not until more than a thousand people walked to the city gate that the soldiers guarding the gate noticed something unusual and asked Su Dingfang about his origin and identity.
Before he could agree, Su Dingfang had already stabbed him with a sword.
Looking at the bloody hole in his chest, the soldiers at the city gate fell down from the moat unwillingly.
More than a thousand soldiers attacked each other at close range, and in just a cup of tea, the Yan army guarding the city had no time to react. They controlled the city gate south of Yuyang with an uninjured effect, cleared the resistance in Yuyang City at the lowest cost, and took over the control of Yuyang.
"Haha, General Zhonglang is beautifully beaten! I, Meng Chao, am convinced." Meng Chao, the general of the General Zhonglang of Xuange Army, was originally very dissatisfied with Su Dingfang. He felt that this guy relied on Luo Shixin to lead the arduous task of attacking Yuyang, but he was timid and afraid to hide in the valley and did not do practical things. It was not until now that he realized that he was confident.
Su Dingfang smiled calmly and said, "General Meng Lang, you will divide your subordinates into five groups and go to the granary, the four gates of the east, west, south and north, leaving us with only ten days of food. The rest are burned, and the city gates will also be demolished and burned with a fire."
"Ah!" Meng Chao screamed in surprise and was stunned. What order is this? They rushed from afar, and there was not much left in the food they brought. To defend Yuyang, they must rely on the food and grass in the city and the city's strength. Now they burned the food and the city gates were destroyed. How can they guard it? The donkey kicked it? They didn't dare to take the order for a while, and hurriedly said: "Yuyang is Gao Kaidao's nest. When they learned that Yuyang was in decline, Gao Kaidao would definitely withdraw his troops to attack as soon as possible. There is no food and no danger, and there is insufficient troops. How can they fight?"
Su Dingfang smiled mysteriously and said, "Whoever said that if you attack Yuyang in surprise, you must guard Yuyang, our goal is Snake Pangu."
************
The Xi tribe Gao Kaidao coalition forces.
King Xi Ah Huiru's expression was now irritable, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he felt a little regretful that he would not listen to Gao Kaidao's words. He thought that the Tang soldiers were vulnerable, and the small Gu'an County 1,500 guards could solve the problem in just one or two strokes...
As a result, the situation of the battle was far beyond his expectations, and one thousand five hundred defenders resisted extremely tenaciously.
The 50,000 troops took turns to attack, and after a whole night of resistance, they fought to the end of the army and soldiers, they directly paid more than three times the price of casualties. What he couldn't stand the most was that his youngest son shot the rift arrow in the battle and died of a violent death.
Ah Hui was furious and ordered the city to massacre. Even so, he still couldn't relieve the fire in his heart. How could the despicable fate of a small county people be compared to his beloved young son? The joy of success in this robbery was also completely wiped out by this last battle.
The remaining Xi clan chiefs did not speak, so as not to be angry.
Gao Kaidao also frowned from the side, thinking that he would never bring the Xi tribe invasion next time. Although he didn't care about the lives and deaths of the people, he cared about Li Tang's anger. When he was in Yuyang, he was in contact with Li Tang, he would play with fire and burn himself if he was not careful.
At this moment, a cavalry rushed over, "King Yan, Luo Shixin led the mighty Tang soldiers to catch up with him, just twenty miles behind us."
Gao Kaidao's expression changed drastically, and he shouted in a low voice: "It's coming so fast!"
Ah Huiru's expression also changed. Now they are back with a full load, and they don't want to stop and fight a battle with Luo Shixin with an unknown outcome. They suppressed their emotions and said, "Let's go faster, don't let Tang Bing catch up."
Gao Kaidao was just thinking about this and quickly ordered to accelerate his progress.
After walking for ten miles, the bad news came again. The remaining soldiers who escaped from Yuyang reported to Gao Kaidao that the fall of Yuyang was.
"Tang general Su Dingfang led two thousand cavalry to attack Yuyang, and Yuyang has fallen."
Gao Kaidao exclaimed, shivering, fear arose from his heart: he relied on Yuyang's special location to embrace the Turks' thighs, and received the support of the Turks to occupy a place in this chaotic world. Without Yuyang, Gao Kaidao had no value for existence.
Ah Huiru's expression also became solemn and thought to himself: "The Tang army should not be underestimated! Yuyang fell and his way back was blocked. The Li Tang army followed him again. This is closing the door to capture the fox!"
Gao Kaidao was also a brave man, shouting angrily: "The Tang soldiers attacked Yuyang in surprise, and there must be not many soldiers. We should go straight to Yuyang and counterattack Yuyang to ensure that King Xi's return is unobstructed."
"Haha!" Ah Huiru narrowed his eyes and said, "The King of Yan was joking. The road was blocked and there was still Snake Pan Valley. Although it was a little difficult to walk, it was still possible to walk. There was no need to care about this. The King of Yan had more than 10,000 heroic soldiers under his command, and it was more than enough to deal with the Tang soldiers who were attacking Yuyang. Our return journey would be no longer necessary."
"King Xi!" Gao Kaidao's face turned into a pig's liver. He suppressed his crazy anger and said coldly: "King Xi is doing such an inauthentic way to kill the donkey. Who will lead you to invade Youzhou in the future?"
Gao Kaidao relies on Yuyang. Without Yuyang, Ah Huiru was not afraid of breaking up with the other party and said in a cold voice: "I'll wait for you to take back Yuyang. Without Yuyang, what kind of Yan King are you? There are tigers in front and wolves in the back. Maybe you really have the chance to Yuyang. When that day comes, I Ah Huiru will come to apologize to the Yan King." He said, laughing three times and shouted: "Change the way to Snake Pan Valley."
Ah Hui didn't care about Gao Kaidao.
The other four Xi tribe chiefs looked at Gao Kaidao's face as if they were watching the show and offered sincere blessings: "Come on!" "Look at you!" "Counterattack and return to Yuyang, and give you a big gift."
Who knows that in the current situation, there is a surprise attack army in Yuyang, and there are 50,000 troops behind him. Even if they fight all their troops, they may not be able to take Yuyang. What's more, their army attacks just to make money. Now they are making a fortune, and each horse is carrying a lot of money. In this case, with the fruits of victory, returning to the grassland safely is the top priority. Why do you take the risk of fighting with the Tang army for Gao Kaidao without Yuyang?
So stupid!
It's not stupid, so King Xi Ah Huiru rationally took all his troops and horses to Sna Pan Valley.
