Chapter 861 Stop three generations!
Zhao Xie's reinforcements came all the way from Ji County.
In order not to arouse the alertness of the Khitans, before Lu County took action, all the Youzhou troops were huddled in Youzhou City, and no soldiers left the city, and they looked like they were defending the city with all their might.
At the same time, Zhao Xie, one of the commanders of the Youzhou Army, deliberately appeared in front of others and looked like he was with the Youzhou Army.
It is precisely because of this level of acting that the Khitans are completely unaware of the small county town of Lu County and make them fall into trouble here.
At this time, Zhao Xie brought more than 10,000 Youzhou troops to come from Jixian.
At this time, nearly half of the five thousand Youzhou troops brought by Lin Zhao had lost.
The Khitans also had a bad time.
Lin Zhao suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, and the Khitans suffered at least 3,000 casualties.
This is the first time in the past century that the Zhou people have fought against foreign races to gain an advantage head-on battle!
More importantly, the Youzhou reinforcements brought by Zhao Xie are still in full swing and are in the upper hand!
After hearing Lin Zhao's orders, Zhao Xie lowered his head and said with a heavy voice: "I will obey the order!"
The calm-minded general of the Pinglu Army turned over and roared at the Youzhou Army soldiers beside him.
"Get on the horse and kill me!"
The vast Youzhou army attacked the Khitan vanguard army.
At this time, the morale of the Youzhou army was in full swing.
This fearless and fearless aura even made the Khitans who had just defeated the Turks feel frightened.
Zhao Xie on the horse's voice was low.
"The prince is watching behind him. Brothers, don't lose the face of our Youzhou army!"
"Kill one enemy and reward ten cents of money!"
"Care with me!"
At this moment, the firearm battalion, which has always played an important role in the Pinglu army, seems not so important.
All they have is the man's blood and heroic spirit on the battlefield!
The Khitan Khan Yelu Zhuo, who was heavily guarded, gritted his teeth when he saw the reinforcements of Youzhou Army rushing towards him.
"The Zhou people have many powers, and we will keep people behind. We will retreat and meet with the main force!"
The Khitan army led by Yelu Zhuo was just the vanguard camp of the Khitans, and their main force was still one or two hundred miles behind him.
At this time, although the Youzhou army had more people than the Khitans on the front battlefield, they were actually not many.
In other words, this Khitan Khan was timid.
If the general is timid, he will naturally easily affect the army.
Therefore, after less than an hour of contact between the Khitans and Zhao Xie's troops, they retreated in full swing.
Zhao Xie, who has always been a steady personality, roared loudly, bit the Khitan tail tightly, and chased and killed him endlessly.
The pursuit continued until the next morning. After the remnants of the Khitans approached the main force of the Khitan, Zhao Xie ordered the retreat.
At this time, the Youzhou army had driven the Khitans nearly 200 miles from the territory of Youzhou.
Zhao Xie, who had not closed his eyes for a day and a night, forced his tired body to come to Lin Zhao's tent in Lu County, half-kneeled in front of Lin Zhao, and reported the results to him.
"Prince, the last general was ordered to pursue the battle, and the results of the battle were quite good. The specific number has not been counted. However, according to estimates, at least 5,000 Khitan casualties were killed or killed in one night."
Mr. Lin in the handsome tent nodded with satisfaction.
He glanced at Zhao Xie and said, "How are our army's casualties?"
"Not less than three thousand."
Prince Yue shook his head and sighed: "The Khitans are still brave. In this case, the battle loss ratio is still not very good, but it is not easy to fight like this."
"The Khitan tribe has only a total of 100,000 households, and the loss of 5,000 combat power has already chewed a piece of meat from them."
Speaking of this, Lin Zhao paused, looked at Zhao Xie, and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Last night, General Pei had already assembled the army and set off Taiyuan."
Zhao Xie's expression changed slightly, and he looked up at Lin Zhao.
"What does the prince mean?"
"This time we fight the Khitans, we just do it casually. The real intention is to go to Taiyuan. General Pei is breaking it into pieces and is advancing towards Taiyuan. In order to make him more hidden, we are here..."
"The momentum is greater."
Zhao Xie lowered his head and let out a breath of turbid air. Then he looked up at Lin Zhao and said slowly: "The prince means that we and the Khitans will fight more fiercely."
Seeing that Zhao Xie's face was a little unfavorable, Lin Zhao sighed, walked to him, patted his shoulder gently, and said, "Brother Zhao, I know that Youzhou Army was taken by you. You are reluctant to use the lives of the soldiers to create momentum. If I were just to cover Taiyuan, I would not let my brothers fight against the Khitans, but..."
The Youzhou Army in the early years was actually built by Pei Jian, while the Qingzhou Army formed by Zhao Xie.
But later, Pei Jian followed Lin Zhao to the west to Chang'an, and the affairs of the Youzhou Army fell on Zhao Xie. During those years and now, he was responsible for most of the Youzhou Army's affairs. At this time, Lin Zhao wanted to take the lives of the Youzhou Army soldiers to cover Pei Jian, and of course he felt a little uncomfortable.
Prince Yue's voice was hoarse: "This battle is always to be fought. Without the matter in Taiyuan, this battle still needs to be fought."
"If the Youzhou Army is unwilling to fight against the Khitans head-on, then the other troops of the Pinglu Army, Qingzhou Army and Cangzhou Army, will fight against the Khitans."
"If we don't show the prestige of our Pinglu army, these greedy alien races will come again and again to harass the border, leaving us with no peace."
"You can defend the city for a while, but you can't defend it for a lifetime."
"It is useless to succeed in defending the city countless times. As long as the enemy succeeds once, we will lose all our money."
Lin Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Brother Zhao must be able to get through this matter. If he really can't get through, the Youzhou Army has already made a lot of efforts. I will send people from other places."
Zhao Xie exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
He stood up, half-kneeled in front of Lin Zhao, and lowered his head and said, "Prince, the general has no intention of protecting his son. In the final analysis, whether it is the Qingzhou Army or the Youzhou Army, they are all part of the Pinglu Army, and they are all subordinates of the Prince..."
He smiled bitterly and said, "After the battle in Lu County, the Khitans may not be fooled so easily. If they go out of seclusion, it will be difficult for us to find them if we want to fight to the decisive battle..."
"The Tong Coin Guard is already determining the location of the Khitan tribe."
Lin Zhao's face was calm and said, "In the past few years, a large part of the energy of the Pinglu Army has been doing this. In the past, some Khitan tribes lived in a row with water and plants, and it was not easy to determine their location. However, in the past twenty years, the Khitans have lived a lot of life, and the nobles among them have gradually settled."
Prince Yue's face was calm and he spoke, "Brother Zhao, since Emperor Ling, foreign races have bullied us Zhou people for more than 40 years."
"This time, it's time for us to be proud."
Zhao Xie looked at Lin Zhao and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you...want to get out of seclusion?"
"I want to come out of seclusion."
Lin Zhao lowered his eyebrows and said, "If you give the Khitans one ruthless one, they can calm down at least three generations. I want these Khitans to tremble when they see my Lin-character flag."
After saying this, Lin Zhao looked at Zhao Xie.
"Are Brother Zhao willing to take risks?"
Zhao Xie is a veteran of Pinglu Army, or Lin Zhao's group, so even if Lin Zhao himself talks to him, most of them use a tone of negotiation.
The deputy general of Youzhou Army, after pondering for a while, bowed his head deeply to Lin Zhao.
"I wish to die for the prince!"
