Although Wu Huaiyu was farther away than him, he came faster, but he did not block Jieli.
When he arrived, Jie Li had already left Heicheng and rushed to Iron Mountain.
The Youzhou Army rushed to Heicheng and broke through the city without much effort. They also learned from the prisoners that Jieli had gone to Tieshan and wanted to gather the defeated troops to wait for the loss of Suni, the young Khan of Shaboluo. After receiving this news,
Wu Huaiyu didn't even wait for Su Lie and others in the south of Yinshan Mountain. He left some troops to garrison in Heicheng to intercept Jieli's defeated troops, and then led his light cavalry to continue chasing towards Tieshan despite the wind and snow.
If we don't win the victory, the Northern Expedition will not succeed.
Nearly five hundred miles,
There was a vast expanse of white everywhere in the wind and snow,
Fortunately, there are Turkic guides to guide the way,
"The wind and snow are too heavy. Do you want to wait for the following soldiers and horses to converge before pursuing? If you go deep into the heart, it will be very dangerous to be ambushed by Jieli,"
Facing the general's persuasion, Wu Huaiyu laughed, "If Jie Li really had that ability, he would not have abandoned Dingxiang City on his own initiative, let alone Yuchi Gong and Su Liewan's cavalry, and they would have defeated him with nearly 200,000 troops.
He has lost his armor,"
"Chase, Jieli is running around in panic now. If we don't chase him quickly, he may escape to Mobei at any time, or flee to the Western Regions. It will be difficult to catch him again."
In the vast snowfield, there are no roads,
There's not even a direction.
The photo shows that if you come here in the summer, the sky is vast, the fields are vast, the green prairie, the blue sky and white clouds are beautiful, and there are flocks of cattle and sheep.
But now, apart from the endless snow, there are only dark clouds hanging low in the sky.
The wind was so bone-chilling that people would be blown away.
But none of these could stop Wu Huaiyu from determined to capture Jieli alive.
Fortunately, there were Turkic Qingqi led by Shetu as guides, as well as Mohe Fan cavalry, both of which were not very cold. Wu Huaiyu also took Youzhou Qingqi with him. The whole army unloaded unnecessary supplies in Heicheng and only carried twenty
With enough food in the sky, he rode two horses and attacked the Iron Mountain five hundred miles away.
Select 5,000 Turkic light cavalry, 3,000 Youzhou fine cavalry, and 2,000 Mohe Fan cavalry, a total of 10,000 light cavalry to attack Tieshan. The rest of the troops stayed in Heicheng to garrison and hunt down Jieli's defeated troops.
Travel two hundred miles a day,
Two days later we approached Iron Mountain,
On the north bank of Nuozhen Water,
The forward scout report found a Turkic tribe's winter pasture, and there were also Turkic warriors gathering there.
"how many people?"
"About a thousand accounts,"
Wu Huaiyu's body was a little stiff, and he rubbed his numb face.
"It seems that Jieli has indeed gone to Iron Mountain. When he passed by here, he must have awarded the Khan the Golden Arrow and gathered the tribes and troops,"
"Do you want to go around to avoid alerting the enemy?"
"No, there are just over a thousand tents, just surround them and annihilate them. Don't let them go." Wu Huaiyu did not hesitate. They had thousands of elite cavalry and marched for two days and four hundred miles. Although they were very tired, they still had an advantage against more than a thousand tents.
of.
"The whole army pauses, takes a rest, eats some solid food, and then launches an attack!"
The photographer asked him to lead the battle with 5,000 Turkic cavalry.
"Okay," Wu Huaiyu patted his shoulder. Although Jieli hasn't been captured yet, everyone now knows that Jieli is finished and the East Turkic Khanate is finished. Shetu is also a smart man, although he has long been with the Turks.
Li is the opposite of Xie Li, but now I still plan to perform well.
Dismount and stretch your muscles,
Chew some dried meat, or even drink a few sips of wine to warm yourself up.
There was thick snow on the ground, and the north wind was howling.
If it were not for the Turkic cavalry as a guide, Wu Huaiyu would not have dared to go deep into the cave. In such terrible weather, he would have lost track of the direction.
After eating some dry food and stretching his hands and feet, Wu Huaiyu ordered to put on armor.
Even though the pictures showed that their Turkic cavalry could destroy the more than a thousand tents, Wu Huaiyu still asked everyone to take out the armor carried by the other horse and equip it.
The sword is unsheathed, the bow is strung,
Put on the iron armor and put on the brocade robe outside.
The whole person became bulkier, and even the cold iron armor made people even colder.
After taking pictures and asking for instructions, he returned to his formation. In the wind and snow, An Lushan was also riding beside him.
Five thousand Turkic light cavalry left their own horses behind and headed towards the Turkic camp in the snow and wind.
with no doubt,
When five thousand Turkic cavalry slowly appeared in the Turkic camp in the wind and snow, the Turks thought they were friendly troops. They were still confused until the photo was taken of them slowly approaching a close distance and suddenly launching a charge.
But when the arrows were flying and the swords and axes were hacking, they realized that something was wrong.
Screams, horns, shouts, questions,
Eventually it turned into screams,
Li Tu Diji and Wu Fuyu each led a thousand Mohe and Fan cavalry to flank them, and five thousand Turkic light cavalry repeatedly charged and killed them in the camp.
Soon all the rebels fell in the snow, and the remaining ones lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.
Some wanted to escape, but they just rushed into the wind and snow, and were quickly driven back by the Mohefan riders.
Shetu brought several Turks to Huaiyu, all of whom were leaders in the camp. One of them, Wu Huaiyu, knew him, Zhi lost his ability to think.
This person is also Jie Li's confidant, and he is also Qi Jin, the leader of the four major Blue Turk tribes.
When he was escorted to Wu Huaiyu, Zhi was in a very embarrassed state. There was an arrow stuck in his body that he couldn't pull out in time, and there were stab wounds on his face.
"Isn't this just a mistake? How did you end up here? Jieli Khan didn't take you with him?"
Zhi lost his mind and lowered his head in shame.
He separated from Jieli at the foot of Baidao City, and later fled to Black Castle, where he rejoined Jieli and followed him to Iron Mountain.
When passing by this tribe's winter camp, Jieli asked Zhihusi to stay and gather his troops here. Zhihusi supported the loyal ones and stayed. As a result, more than a thousand tents were gathered.
Wu Huaiyu came to kill them, and the ones leading the attack were the Turks themselves.
In fact, Zhi lost his thinking power because he was too exhausted along the way and was unprepared. Who could have expected that the Tang army could catch up here so quickly.
There are still defenders in the Black City.
"Please also ask Zhichu Qijin to lead the way for me, and let's go together to meet Jieli Khan."
I lost my mind and lowered my head,
Zhaotu pushed him rudely, and An Lushan even put a knife on his neck, "If you don't understand, I will send you to the West!"
Zhi lost his mind and became angry, "If you want to kill me, then kill me!"
Wu Huaiyu stepped forward and first pulled out the feather arrow from Zhi Fengsi Li's body, then untied the cowhide rope from his body, patted the snow dust for him, and checked his injuries, "The injury is not serious, bandage it."
Just take it, take it internally and externally, it won’t cause any trouble.”
Zhi lost his mind and crossed his hands to thank Huaiyu.
"I have lost my fortune. I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sent two envoys to have a good talk with Jieli Khan. As a result, Jieli Khan was very rude and detained both of our envoys.
The saint was very unhappy in Chang'an. He specially ordered me and other soldiers to come to inquire and take back the envoy. By the way, he also took Jieli Khan back to Chang'an and asked him to explain to the saint face to face.
Please also ask Zhi Shiqi Jin to lead the way,"
Zhi lost his mind and hesitated for a while, but finally had no choice but to agree.
The situation was like this, and there was nothing he could do, so he wouldn't really be asking for a quick fix, and he wasn't that willing.
"Slaughter the cows and sheep. Let's rest here tonight for a while. Let's all have a good meal and warm ourselves up by the fire."
Jieli's troop gathering camp, which had just been turned into a Shura field, soon became a temporary rest camp for the Tang army. Many of the dead and injured horses, as well as the cattle and sheep in the camp, were directly slaughtered.
The dry dung stored by herders in the camp also became fuel for stew.
Youzhi lost his mind, Qi Jin took the lead. The surviving Turks here surrendered quite happily, and the injured were even bandaged by the army doctors.
While the soldiers were eating large chunks of meat and drinking soup, several groups of Turks and horses arrived in the wind and snow. They were all nearby nomadic tribes that had received the recruitment order before. As a result, they ran in and were immediately surrounded and made prisoners.
When those people saw Zhi Huai Si Li and Zhao Tu together, they were still confused. When they heard that Wu Huaiyu was also here, their faces were as white as snow.
But now that I'm here, I can't leave again.
Fortunately, as long as they were willing to surrender, Wu Huaiyu was still very polite and even gave them stew to eat.
After finishing the stew, you can also have a pot of hot milk tea.
A hundred miles away from Tieshan, in this small valley leeward, Wu Huaiyu and the others had enough to eat and drink, and slept very comfortably by the fire in the tent.
After leaving Wubao in Guizhou, we marched in the wind and snow for many days. This was the most comfortable night.
At dawn, the entire army continued to set out and attack.
In half a day, they reached Iron Mountain.
Tieshan, also known as Tiejian Mountain.
Jieli fled all the way here, and not long after he settled down, he sent Shuba envoys to Dingxiang to ask for peace from the Tang army. At the same time, he also sent many wolf guards attached to them, holding arrows to gather the defeated soldiers everywhere, recruit soldiers, and even
Sabolohan Suni, who was stationed west of the Gahelan Mountain, was lost and asked for help.
For a time, he gathered some people, plus some of the original herdsmen, miners, etc. in Tieshan. At least Jieli didn't have to flee in the wind and snow for the time being. He had roast mutton, hot milk tea, and even a woman.
It's warm inside the tent, but the cold wind howls outside,
Photo taken with Yuwen Chengdu, An Lushan and others, and only three hundred elite cavalry, quietly reached the Tieshan camp through the wind and snow.
They are wearing Turkic costumes, and next to the picture is Zhi Los Si Li,
He shouted at the Turkic soldiers at the entrance of the camp from a distance, "I have lost my mind and brought good news to the Khan."
There was a Jie Li Wolf Guard attached to the camp gate, and he recognized Zhi Wansili at a glance. They had just parted two days ago, and knowing that he was recruiting troops a hundred miles away, he had no doubts about him.
The camp door opens,
A fuli wolf guard asked him, "Zhi lost Qijin, what good news is it? Let us also cheer up."
"This damn weather, those damn Tang people, we can't wait to hear the good news."
Zhi Huan Si Li rode in the front, followed by She Tu, An Lushan and the others. Three hundred horses successfully entered the camp. They walked away from the wolf guard and walked up to Zhi Huan Si Li, thinking of saying hello and hearing the good news.
,
As a result, the next moment, the photo behind Zhi Huan Si Li had already stabbed out, provoking the attachment, and the two young generals Yuwen Chengdu and An Lushan also shouted, "Kill."
Three hundred elite cavalry stormed into the camp,
boom!
Bang bang!
The thunderbolts were thrown one after another, and they exploded loudly in this gloomy and dark afternoon.
Three hundred cavalry rushed all the way to the Golden Wolf tent.
When Wu Huaiyu heard the thunder in the distance, he immediately waved his horse and led his army to cover up the attack.
It went more smoothly than expected, and we entered the camp so easily.
