Chapter 779 The three major forces are all gray
However, only about 10,000 people entered, and the sky was already dawn. At this time, Liang and Liu, who were eager to escape, finally found something wrong. Although the soldiers of the Chinese Revival Army were not exposed, the problem was that so many people were ambushed in the valley, which had already scared away the birds and beasts in the valley.
Before, it was dark, so I didn't notice it, but now, these old corpses finally felt something was wrong and immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing, the front army turned into the rear army, and retreated out of the valley.
However, at this moment, more than one hundred heavy artillery directly blocked the valley exit into a scorching volcanic hell. Whether it was people or horses, they all seemed so fragile in front of the power of the artillery, they were blown away like paper, or they were directly torn into pieces.
Liang Shi and Liu Wuzhou, who were secretly glad that they had not entered the valley and were flooded by artillery fire, had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief. A division's cavalry of the Chinese Revival Army suddenly appeared in their eyes, lined up in an orderly formation to start attacking, which made the Liang and Liu coalition forces, who had run for the middle of the night, were tired and exhausted, and had not yet completed the team, suffered a fatal blow again.
More than 10,000 soldiers and horses were locked in the valley and were desperately baptized by artillery fire. Outside the valley, more than 30,000 Liang Liu's coalition forces were still in shock, and it was a disaster for Lady Li San, who personally led the cavalry to assault.
The Liang army and Liu Wu and Zhou Zhen have been in trouble for eight lifetimes. Even though they have twice the strength, they are exhausted after escaping in the middle of the night. In addition, they have lost consecutive battles and have long been out of their minds. As a result, more than 30,000 cavalrymen could not stop Li San's assault.
Li Sanniangzi's cavalry skills are also B-level. He took the lead in rushing left and right, killing the cavalry of the Liang and Liu coalition forces in full fear. Liang's division was very anxious and led his personal soldiers to suppress the front line that was about to collapse, but he did not expect that he was dispersed by the cavalry of the Chinese Revival Army. Liang's division was directly chopped into meat paste by a vote of Chinese Revival Army cavalry.
The Liang army was killed on the spot when they were killed in battle. The morale of the Liang and Liu coalition army was greatly relieved and soon collapsed. Seeing this situation, Liu Wuzhou knew that the matter was irreversible. He led his confidants into the forest and disappeared. Thirty thousand cavalrymen, more than 20,000 surrendered, and the rest scattered. The more than 10,000 cavalrymen in the valley had already extinguished their desire to confront each other after seeing that the entrance of the valley was plowed by hot weapons beyond their imagination. Except for blocking the entrance of the valley and some guys who wanted to resist to the end, the more than 10,000 cavalrymen almost all put down their weapons.
In this battle, the captured war horses alone reached more than 37,000, and the surrendered soldiers also reached more than 30,000. Except for more than a thousand trusted dead soldiers who escaped into the mountains and forests with Liu Wuzhou, the others had already scattered into the countryside.
After Liu Wuzhou escaped for three days, he was finally intercepted by the cavalry regiment sent by the Chinese Fuxing Army to search for him. Liu Wuzhou fled for almost one day, and his confidant guards were only less than 300. In the end, his subordinates captured Liu Wuzhou for his life because of the step-by-step advance of the Chinese Fuxing Army cavalry, Yu Qian captured Liu Wuzhou and presented it to the pursuit of the Chinese Fuxing Army cavalry regiment.
At this point, Li Mi, the three major forces in the northwest, were beaten to become disabled, Liang Shi was killed, Liu Wuzhou was captured, and all the heroes in the northwest were destroyed. In other words, the buffer zone between the Chinese Empire had disappeared without a trace.
Jie Li Khan was heartbroken and even more angry that the two hard-core traitors ended up like this. The only one who could still lively in the Han Khan who bowed to the emperor and was enthroned was Dou Jiande, and the rest of them were either killed by themselves or the army of the Chinese Empire was removed.
The angry Jie Li Khan really wanted to teach the Chinese Empire another lesson | The best choice to win this Lishi City, but the problem is that the defenders led by Li Xiaogong are not from mud. It is impossible to win Lishi City without suffering heavy casualties.
But the problem is that even if Lishicheng is captured, what will happen afterwards? Han Shiyan, the general of the Chinese Revival Army, has led two armies to cruising south of Lishijun. Maybe after Jie Li Khan took Lishicheng, he would have to deal with a giant city as strong as Jinyang, which was desperate for nomads.
Moreover, the Liang army and Liu Wuzhou were killed and captured one by one. After that, the tens of thousands of troops of the Chinese Revival Army were liberated. The Chinese Revival Army, which had already controlled the middle reaches of the Yellow River, would appear behind the Turkic army at any time. Even if Li Sanniang did not appear in the north of Lishi County, what if she appeared at the northern end of Hetao? The 100,000 Turkic cavalry who remained in the area to guard the 100,000 Turkic cavalry were in danger.
Moreover, if hundreds of thousands of troops were trapped in the Central Plains for too long, those originally honest tribes might start to get ready. Whether it is Xue Yantuo, Khitan, or even the Western Turks who were of the same lineage, these people are not good birds in the face of interests.
After learning that the Chinese Revival Army had annihilated the main force of Liang and Liu and included all the entire Hetao area, they were shocked and worried that their retreat would be cut off.
But the problem is that it is really unwilling to send more than 300,000 troops to return without success. After hesitating for a long time, after Jie Li Khan discussed with many subordinates, Yu Qian invited Li Mi and told Li Mi that in order to appease him, and because the two unlucky men of Liang and Liu Wuzhou were all vague, then, the two men were outside the Hetao Taku and the north of Shanxi were all handed over to Li Mi, hoping that Li Mi could control these territories.
As for the Turkic army, of course, it was not a helpless withdrawal, but decided to make the case for the Great Turkic and you Han people under the Turkic army, the great Jie Li Khan decided to return to the northern part of Hetao, and to let the Chinese Revival Army, who dared to invade the territory of the Great Turkic, taste the power of the Turkic Iron Cavalry.
As for Li Shicheng and other occupied territories, they were naturally left to the Han leader Li Mi to retake them himself. According to Jie Li Khan, the Han people knew better how to attack cities and capture villages in this way, and the Great Turks were more suitable to kill generals and seize flags in the wild.
Li Mi was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. With the remnants of defeated soldiers under her command, even though she had gathered 50,000 or 60,000 troops, she was definitely not the opponent of the unrivaled Chinese Empire army. However, Jie Li Khan was determined to leave, and in the end she could not stop Li Mi's begging, leaving behind 20,000 Turkic cavalry to cooperate with Li Mi's troops.
Li Mi then reluctantly said goodbye to Jie Li Khan and his army. However, he did not follow Jie Li Khan's order and continued to attack Li Shicheng to maintain pressure on the Chinese Revival Army, because he knew that if he really did that, he would be dumplings by the Chinese Revival Army. You must know that Han Shiyan led two armies with nearly 80,000 troops and horses to cruise behind Li Shicheng, and kept eyeing Li Shicheng.
Late at night after Jie Li Khan and the main Turkic forces evacuated, Li Mi led a large army to retreat to Liu Wuzhou's territory. The former Liu Wuzhou territory is now accepted by him in the name of Khan's righteousness.
This place is closer to the north, far away from the hinterland of Shanxi, and more importantly, it is back to the support it can get at any time.
Just one day after Jie Li Khan left, Han Shiye's army arrived at the Lishi City. Although the walls of Lishi City were slightly damaged, they were not seriously injured overall. Han Shiye did not stop but continued to move northward, including the entire Lishi County and the northern part of Shanxi into the territory of the Chinese Empire, and then stopped.
Li Mi squatted further north, wiping her sweat and secretly glad that she had fled quickly. As for Jie Li Khan, she had retreated slowly, but when she received news from the north, a large number of Chinese Empire cavalry headed north of Hetao, she was so scared that the guy was dead and rushed north desperately, fearing that his old nest, the royal court of the Golden Tent, would be cleaned up by the Chinese Revival Army.
In the end, Jie Li Khan's southern expedition not only did not gain any gains, but also lost two allies that threatened the northern border of the Chinese Empire. As for Li Mi, she had been killed by Li San's wife and wanted him to pluck away the courage to invade the south on his own initiative, unless Jie Li Khan came again, or sent him one or two hundred thousand reinforcements.
Dou Jiande was far away from Shandong, Hebei and looked at the fierce war in the northwest region. When he knew that Liang Shidu was killed, Liu Wuzhou was captured, and Li Mi fled to the north and survived, he finally made up his mind to form a solid alliance with Wang Shichong.
The agreement was made that both sides would be loyal and unyielding, united and helped each other, and everyone knew the truth that the lips and teeth would be cold. Especially now, after the general trend of the world gradually became clear, Dou and Wang knew even more that the prosperity of the Chinese Empire could not be stopped by them. Now they could only work hard to form a group, relying on this powerful backer, and perhaps there was a chance to rule the territory.
Of course, although this hope seems slim, at least there is hope. However, the opportunity is not in their hands, but in the hands of the increasingly prosperous Han regime of the Chinese Empire.
Although I had a premonition about the sad retreat, the real retreat still made everyone feel relieved. After all, compared with the heroes of the Central Plains on the land of China, the Iron Cavalry of the Turks is indeed a very difficult character to deal with.
Li Xiaogong was quite good at defending Lishi City, which was equivalent to holding the Turkic cavalry to the south for the empire, making it impossible for him to cause greater harm to the Chinese people in Shanxi. My wife Yaoguang is even more outstanding. This time, she can capture the northern part of Shanxi and take over Hetao. Yaoguang and her soldiers can occupy at least three successful labors.
In this battle, from south to north, Xiao Xian first took down, and then sent troops to Tongguan to capture Wang Shichong. Then, he rushed north to capture Hetao, and lured Liu Wuzhou into the game. In short, this battle completely met strategic expectations and even slightly exceeded it, which was unhappy.
