"Kill!"

An arrow shot through the air,

Dugu Yanyun, who was standing next to the body of his beloved horse and waving his horse spear, was shot in the face.

A Beishan Xihu Yiluohe archer sneered in the dark.

Dugu Yanyun screamed in pain,

Another arrow came and hit his shoulder blade.

The deputy governor of Anton was surrounded by loyal and brave soldiers who died in battle. They died of exhaustion in bloody battles.

Dugu Yanyun shook his body, holding the horse in one hand and holding the flag with the other.

The flag was stained with blood and the wind could no longer blow it.

Dugu Yanyun, who was hit by several arrows and still had half a broken spear stuck in his body, could no longer hold on.

"No retreat!"

He vomited blood and still shouted stubbornly,

At this moment, he should have regretted it.

Amidst a burst of shouting, several Xihu warriors dragged their spears down the river and rushed up. Dugu Yanyun lifted the increasingly heavy horse pole and swung away several spears, but he was still stabbed by several spears.

The armor was already broken.

Blood stained red.

"Kill...Hu..."

Dugu Yanyun finally fell. A Xi chief rushed up and chopped off his head with a knife. He picked up the head and raised it high, shouting at the surroundings.

Countless Beishan Xihu cheered and shouted together, they won.

In the big stone ditch, it has already become a purgatory on earth.

In the narrow valley, the Tang army was surrounded and had nowhere to escape. Although they fought bravely, they lost their formation and had no room to regroup. They were also attacked condescendingly by Xi Hu several times.

The most terrible thing is that there is actually an elite Turkic force in Xihuli, Beishan.

With no one able to fight out, they were surrounded and intercepted, so they had no choice but to fight to the end, eventually staining the valley with blood.

Some Tanzhou generals originally wanted to fight to the death for Dugu Yanyun and sent away the flags of the mighty army and the Zhenyuan army, as well as the deputy governor.

Unfortunately, they failed.

Dugu Yanyun also died in the battle in the valley, his head was cut off, and the military flag was taken away.

"All prisoners, no one shall be spared, all beheaded,"

"Take the heads of these damn Tang troops and build a palace in this valley."

The jihus in Beishan cheered and howled, and all of them, men, women, old and young, carried knives and cut off their heads in the valley.

They cut off heads, stripped off armor, picked up spears, knives, bows, arrows and shields. They didn't even let go of the arrows on the battlefield.

Time was short, and Jingguan was just a mountain of human heads, not sealed with mud, and the corpses with their heads cut off were abandoned directly on the battlefield.

Corpses littered the fields, piled high like mountains.

Dead and injured horses were also slaughtered and cut up on the spot. The hides and meat were removed, leaving the bones and internal organs abandoned on the ground. The blood attracted swarms of crows to circle the sky.

The Beishan Xihu people sang and hummed, and returned with a full load covered in blood. According to tribal tradition, they wiped their dead tribesmen clean, wrapped them in horse skins, and put them on the trees.

Three years later, they will come to collect the bones, burn them and bury them underground.

Beishan Xihu people take death very lightly.

When parents die, children and grandchildren do not cry; when children and grandchildren die, parents cry only once.

Their funerals are more grand and festive, and celebrations are often held when the bones are burned and the ashes are buried.

There were no tombstones and no burials. The corpses of Beishan Xihu were wrapped one by one in horsehide, cowhide, etc., and placed on the trunk of a tree. Three years later, they would come back to collect them again.

after one day.

Wu Huaiyu and his troops arrived and smelled a strong smell of blood from a distance.

You can even see countless crows circling in the valley from a distance.

When the scouts reported the tragic situation in the valley, everyone fell silent.

Those sons of aristocratic families who joined the army and poets who joined the army were even more shocked and stunned. They could not believe that more than 5,000 Tang soldiers and their descendants had joined forces, and the entire army was annihilated in this nameless valley.

Wu Huaiyu walked into the valley with a heavy heart,

The valley is like the eighteenth level of hell,

bloody,

Corpses litter the fields,

More than 5,000 Tang army heads were piled up haphazardly to form a mountain of human heads.

The crows enjoy the feast,

There are also jackals and wild beasts who are also enjoying themselves.

In the narrow valley, blood flowed into rivers, and in some places it even formed pools of blood. The thick plasma was so shocking,

"The mighty army is gone,

"The Zhenyuan Army is gone,"

"The deputy governor of Tanzhou, Dugu Yanyun, is gone,"

Dugu Yanyun died and his head was cut off, but his headless body was still standing there. Beishan Xihu cut off the head of his five-flowered horse and placed it on his body, with a special

A wooden sign was inserted on his back and his identity was written on it.

His armor and clothing were also stripped off,

No respect, no dignity left.

This scene shocked everyone.

Wu Huaiyu looked at Dugu Yanyun, who had a human body and a horse with a wooden plaque on his back. This was one of the nine generals of the Xuanwu Sect, a nobleman of the Guanlong Group, the emperor's relative, the dignified deputy governor of Anton, and the governor of Tanzhou.

Also a mighty military envoy,

The Great Wall at Beikou was separated for only a few days.

Already ended up like this,

The mutilated corpse, without its head, was bitten by crows, wild wolves, rats, etc.

"Collect the corpses for the robes,"

"Cut down the trees for firewood, cremate them all, and bring the ashes back."

These soldiers who died in the battle whose bodies were separated could not even be accurately identified, and there was no way to take them all back. They could only be cremated on the spot.

The Weiwu Army and the Zhenyuan Army lost their generals, their flags, and their elite soldiers. Although there were still some left behind in Tanzhou,

But after Wu Huaiyu removed Dugu Yanyun's horse's head and pulled out the wooden plaque, he ruthlessly ordered to cancel the military vassal titles of Weiwu and Zhenyuan.

The rest of Tanzhou was demoted from the army to a town and its name was changed.

All the soldiers were silent and angry.

In the Battle of Yehuling, they defeated 30,000 and hundreds of thousands without so many casualties. They captured and killed 60,000 people, but only over 3,000 were killed.

And Dugu Yanyun destroyed 3,000 elite Tanzhou troops and more than 2,000 Chengban Hu and his disciples in one fell swoop.

Many generals gritted their teeth and wanted to fight.

"Take care of this place and we'll retreat first,"

Wu Huaiyu said coldly.

Don't use anger to raise troops, otherwise it will be easier to fall into the trap.

Having already suffered so much loss, he wanted revenge more than anyone else, but he couldn't rush it.

Dugu Yanyun's death was not unjust, he even deserved it, but he was a general of the Tang army, a deputy governor of Andong, a governor of Tanzhou, a general of Youwuhou, a Duke of Liyang, a son-in-law of the emperor, and a member of the Xuanwu sect.

nine generals,

Such a person had only been in Youzhou for less than a month, and he was gone immediately, and he was buried with 5,000 Tang troops.

I don’t know how big of a shock this matter will cause when it is reported back to Chang’an.

He Wu Huaiyu must not be able to escape the blame.

But now Wu Huaiyu can't care about that. He must finish this battle first.

It must be finished and it must be fought well.

Although even if all the Xihu troops in Beishan were slaughtered, the Northern Expedition would still be a failure, a complete failure, but what should be done must still be done.

"Send more reconnaissance cavalry to find the location of those Beishanxi."
