Chapter 137 Resentment, but love is difficult

Chapter 137: It’s hard to let go

In the Battle of Jiashan Pass, Brother Yelvxiu was defeated. Only about 10,000 of the remaining soldiers fought out of the siege. They abandoned their commander's banners and drums, fought in the east and west, fled to the northeast, and finally escaped into Baozhou. Yang Jiye has never appeared in public.

He had led a group of troops to attack Tang County and had been waiting for news to recover Tang County. After Li Huating and Liu Tingrang defeated Brother Yelusiu, they immediately sent people to report on horseback. They learned that Brother Yeluxiu had been defeated and that their own way out was impossible.

After being intercepted by the enemy's cavalry, Yang Jiye immediately sent troops from Tang County and advanced overnight. After bloody battles night after day, he captured the original Song Army's military fortress at Damao Mountain in the evening of the next day.

Occupying this fortress, the Song army completely cut off the connection between the eastern and western Liao armies that invaded the Song Dynasty. They attacked Lingqiu in the west, Linghu in the middle, and Yizhou in the east, laying a solid foundation for the Song army to counterattack.

Basis. In this battle, the Song army recaptured Tangxian, Tangshan, Wangdu, and four cities in Peiping, beheaded 37,000 people, obtained tens of thousands of horses, captured twelve Liao generals alive, and captured more than 30,000 Liao soldiers.

There are countless weapons and weapons.

Just like during the Battle of Gaoliang River, Brother Yelu Xiu caught Zhao Guangyi's small mistake and took the opportunity to tear it apart and expand it, thereby turning the entire battle situation from a comprehensive defense to a comprehensive counterattack. How could Yang Hao let it go?

This rare opportunity? The Song Army's major counterattack began with the defeat of the Liao Kingdom's 80,000 elite divisions in the Xiaotang River Battle. This major counterattack started from east to west on the entire front, including Yanmen Pass, Fuzhou, and Zhulunchuan.

, and even the entire Eastern Front battlefield, all Song troops were fully engaged in the battle.

The Song Army has always integrated offense and defense, and is especially famous for its defense. After the Xixia Corps merged with it, it used an all-offensive formation for the first time. The next day, Yang Yanlang and Tong Yu led their troops to launch an attack on Baozhou. Yelvxiu

Since the great victory in Youzhou, I have not suffered a big loss yet. The troops fought in every direction, which inevitably breeds arrogance. As a result, I was defeated in Dingzhou City. This defeat will definitely affect the entire war situation.

After escaping back to Baozhou, he knew that the Song army would inevitably arrive soon, so he immediately began to deploy defenses. At the same time, he quickly issued military orders to all Liao armies, and decisively decided to shift from strategic offense to strategic defense to maintain the results of the war as much as possible. He also revised the book.

In a letter, someone was sent to report to Youzhou quickly. While pleading guilty, he also reported the unexpected situation of the Song and Xixia troops joining forces to the Queen Mother.

The only source for the Song State to have so many war horses and so many well-trained cavalry could only be Xixia. Moreover, when Brother Yelvxiu came to Zhuolunchuan, he had a long confrontation with the Xixia Army. He was familiar with the Xixia Army and had even heard about it.

He passed through the two powerful heavy armored troops of Xixia, Mo Dao Formation. At this moment, he thought about it, why didn't he understand what he encountered in Xiaotang River?

He knew that when Xixia was using troops against Longyou, the latest intelligence he had received was that Yang Hao was said to have marched towards Guanzhong. The Liao State was moving southward in a big way. In addition to the fact that the Song State was defeated in Youzhou and was seriously injured, the other two sources of support were

Zhao Guangyi died unexpectedly, the young master succeeded to the throne, and Xixia and Song Dynasty went to war directly. The Central Plains Empire was bound to be attacked from both sides.

What happened now? Why did the Xixia soldiers join forces with the Song army and fight side by side? What happened in the Central Plains?

Tong Yu and Yang Yanlang approached the city of Baozhou and failed to attack fiercely, so they decided to clear the periphery first, and Tong Yu continued to attack the city with bluff. Yang Yanlang quietly led his troops to leave Baozhou and turned to attack the surrounding areas of Baozhou, which were still surrounded by Liao soldiers.

In the occupied counties and towns, Yang Yanlang captured Suicheng that night and used it as a stronghold, becoming a nail under Baozhou's nose.

Brother Yeluxiu wanted to find out all this, but unfortunately the scouts sent on the battlefield could not detect these major events within the opponent's empire, so Brother Yeluxiu sent an order to capture a few enemy soldiers alive. Tong

Yu led his army to attack the city, and deliberately opened a gap. It was not difficult to capture a few more Song soldiers. Soon, Brother Yeluxiu figured out what happened in the Central Plains during this period.

Many Song border guards were kept in the dark about this major event that happened in the Central Plains before Yang Hao's army arrived. Even now, they may not have a clear understanding of the whole incident, but Tong Yu's soldiers came from Long.

Those who went to Guanzhong on the right and then to Bianliang to open the third pass were very clear about the whole story. Brother Yelvxiu couldn't help being surprised when he figured out the whole story.

Since the Song and Xixia are united, not only will their military strength increase sharply and their morale will be greatly boosted, but the Song army confronting Xixia at the Hengshan line, and even the Xixia army, will inevitably launch an attack on the Liao army. At this moment, the 100,000 Liao troops attacking Yanmen Pass will

The national soldiers and horses may be in danger. He immediately felt that the enemy was strong and invincible. It was not enough to switch from offense to defense. He wanted to maintain the fruits of victory and firmly control the occupied states and counties.

The idea in hand can no longer be realized. Now the only way to stabilize the position is to take the initiative to withdraw the troops and retreat to the territory of Liao Kingdom.

Brother Yelvxiu immediately drafted a second order to withdraw troops from the entire war zone, and ordered the entire city's garrison to prepare immediately and break out overnight.

The focus of Tong Yu's siege army's defense was the North City. It was night, and Yelvxiu Ge opened the West City. The entire army broke into the camp and broke through the formation. They broke out of the siege and galloped for dozens of miles before heading north. The next day, Pan Mei arrived with his troops.

In Baozhou, Brother Yelvxiu has flown into the sky. Most of the people in Baozhou City are safe and sound, and they have not been plundered, killed or massacred by Brother Yelvxiu to vent his anger.

This is of course because the Liao army went south this time to occupy the territory of the Song Dynasty, so it did not want to treat the local people too harshly. It is also because Brother Yelvxiu has always opposed harassing and bullying ordinary people in using troops. This is indeed an upright northern country.

Heroes, but now that they have become rivals for the benefit of their respective countries, this feeling of sympathy has to be put aside.

When Yang Hao heard the news, he also sighed, but his sigh did not last long, because the war had already begun. However, the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light in Zhuolunchuan, Fuzhou, and Yanmen Pass. The order the Song Army received was that even if it could

To achieve victory, they should not go too deep. Their main task was to create a momentum to contain the soldiers and horses of the southern court of the Liao Kingdom. Yang Hao's main attack direction... was in the northeast.

In the Qilian Mountains, the mountains and ridges stretching for thousands of miles are covered with snow. The first snowfall this winter was so heavy.

Overnight, snow covered the vast expanse, and the howling north wind blew snow foam straight into people's necks. In such an environment, any traces on the ground could be smoothed out like a mirror within an hour.

Trying to chase down a team of dozens of people in such an environment is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But Aguli refused to give up, and a fire was burning in her heart.

Wearing a men's war robe, white leather jacket, white leather trousers, a furry leather waistcoat, a leather hat with ear protection and face protection on the head, and a scimitar hanging at the waist, all over his body

The only thing exposed is a pair of big eyes with pale eyebrows covered with white frost.

Riding her horse and standing on a hillside with little snow, Aguli looked down at the snowfield in front of her. The snowfield was vast, burying shallow rivers and withered yellow grass underneath. The white snow was endless, and the distant mountains were as misty as shadows.

Behind her, there is a cavalry team of nearly a thousand people, all wearing furry fur robes and hats that are very effective in keeping out the cold. The formation looks scattered, but in fact there is a hidden secret. They can join the battle at any time as a team of three in coordination with each other.

In the distance, a black spot moved quickly towards me. It got closer and closer, and gradually I could see clearly that it was a man and a horse.

The knight on the horse galloped all the way up the hillside. When he got close to Aguli, he suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse hissed loudly, causing snowflakes to fly under his feet. The wind blew, and the scalp and scalp were blown off Aguli's shoulders. The wolf on top was shaking slightly, but she was as motionless as a white marble rock sculpture.

"Report, my subordinates have heard the news. Ye Luohe and more than 20 riders have fled to the Yak tribe."

Aguli's eyebrows slightly raised: "Yak tribe? Don't they know my order? Any tribe who dares to take in Ye Luohe will be killed without mercy!"

"I know...of course I know, but the leader of the yak tribe, Temoko and Yeluohe, are sworn brothers, so..."

Aguli sneered: "Sworn brothers? He's just a stupid pig being taken advantage of!"

She suddenly lifted the horse's reins, raised her voice, and shouted: "Go forward and attack the yak tribe!"

In the yak tribe, Ye Luohe worked hard to drink and talk with Tiemoke. He talked about the love of brothers, talked about the plan to make a comeback, and promised a lot of benefits that were castles in the air. Once he returned to the felt tent specially placed for him, that The heroic spirit of not being defeated was instantly wiped away, and he fell down on the wolfskin mattress in great exhaustion.

The tent is very simple, and the living conditions of the yak tribe are not very good, but it is very warm. The charcoal fire in the stove is blazing, and the tent is very warm. The lights are out, and only the red light of the charcoal fire illuminates the entire tent.

Defeated once, defeated again, retreated again, where can he escape now? Luo Dan is unreliable after all. As soon as Yang Hao's troops arrived, he surrendered and stabbed himself in the back. Fortunately, he had always been wary of this old boy and did not dare to trust him too much. Although he was defeated, he did not take his life. Since then, he has been defeated again and again, and the soldiers and horses in his hands have become less and less, so he can only Hiding in Tibet.

With his familiarity with the terrain around Qinghai Lake in the past two years, he has repeatedly escaped the pursuit of that crazy woman in Aguli, but the woman actually issued an order to Qiang tribes, Tubo tribes, Uighur tribes, who If you dare to take him in, you will be guilty of the same crime as him. For a while, his noble Uighur Khan actually became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat.

He did not dare to completely trust Tiemoko, but if he did not go to Tiemoko, the more than 20 people who were short of food and clothing would freeze to death in the snowy fields. At present, he had put the more than 20 people to death in the snow. The confidants were arranged around his felt tent. Ye Luohe lay undressed on the warm and soft wolf skin mattress, secretly thinking: "It's not safe here. We have to leave tomorrow. Let's get some from Temoko." Make dried meat and make wine, and continue to flee westward. This stinky woman will definitely not chase her to Gaochangguo, right?"

After all, it was because he was getting older, and he had spent so many days sleeping in the open and in fear. Finally, he lay down in a comfortable place. Ye Luohe was really tired. He was thinking about the next step, and gradually he became sleepy.

At this time, Aguli's men and horses had surrounded the yak tribe's station like ghosts. The tribes on the grassland herded horses and herded sheep, fighting with the sky, the earth, and people. Life was very difficult, with changes in the weather and the ravages of wolves. , the plunder of other tribes, and various conditions have developed their vigilant fox-like character. It is not easy to sneak attack on such a tribe.

And Aguli didn't want to make a sneak attack, her method was a surprise attack.

The shepherd dogs of the yak tribe screamed wildly, and the cattle and horses made a commotion. The alert tribesmen had just grabbed the long knives placed on their pillows, and shouts of killing rang out from all directions in the entire camp. In an instant, there was only the howling of the cold wind. In the camp, people shouted, horses neighed, cattle and sheep bleated, dogs barked, and Aguli's cavalry barged in.

They kicked the camp to break the tent without giving the other side a chance to react, and the battle began. The knights roared and galloped back and forth, and there were the shepherds who hurried out of the felt tent with weapons in their hands before they could figure out the situation. The fast horses flew past them like the wind, and the sharp steel knives flew past their necks and over their heads, bringing with them a rain of blood. A heavy corpse fell to the snow with a thud, and was gone forever. sound.

It's late at night, but you can't even see your fingers. Even the white snow in the sky makes any weak light play its best role. The ground is gray, enough to identify the characters. Under the sharp sabers waving like snowflakes, they are striking. In front of the spears and spears that pierced like lightning, coupled with the rapid arrows shot by the knights with their flexible skills, the people of the yak tribe were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They fell one after another. Their resistance was very short-lived and also Very weak.

Ye Luohe was half asleep, not sleeping soundly. He suddenly heard loud shouts and screams, and he sat up suddenly and grabbed the saber tightly.

"What's going on? Is Aguli chasing us, or are there other tribes that are robbing the Yak tribe?"

Ye Luohe's heart was pounding, and several close guards had rushed into the tent, holding torches in their hands: "Khan, there is a night attack."

Ye Luohe jumped up and jumped to the tent door. He saw fast horses coming and going outside, whistling and fighting, with daggers and spears, and bows and crossbows. The attack was fierce and fierce, and extremely terrifying. Temoko and a group of people living in the center The distinguished warriors reacted and rushed out of the tent with their swords and bows in disheveled clothes. However, this was nothing more than to die. The murderous night attackers roared towards them and were unstoppable, giving them no chance to fight back.

There was a chaos of figures and roars. Although Temoko and others were brave and even risked their lives, when they rushed out of the camp and killed them by surprise, the outcome of failure was already doomed, and the bloody massacre continued. In just a quarter of an hour, the resistance became only sporadic spontaneous acts.

At this time, someone must have caught the herdsmen of the yak tribe and asked them where they were. One after another, many people dismounted and approached Yeluohe's felt tent with bloody sabers and spears.

It's not that Ye Luohe doesn't want to escape, it's just that as a distinguished guest, he lives in the center of the yak tribe, and the horses are not outside the felt tent. If he rushes out in such a chaotic situation, the danger will be greater. He can only pray. It seems that these uninvited guests are just a certain tribe who was sad about the cold winter and took up the idea of ​​​​a yak tribe. In that case, he may not have a chance of survival. Although Aguli issued a killing order, there are very few tribes who dare to take him in, but As a member of the nine tribes with the surname of Uihe King, and having been the leader of the Uihe tribe in Qinghai Lake for so long, not many tribesmen dared to capture him and invite him to Aguli. It has nothing to do with it, because of his noble bloodline, a prince is a prince. Even if he has fallen into decline, ordinary Uighurs with deep pockets will not dare to insult him.

But soon he became desperate. Several soldiers raised their hands to grab hold and pulled hard. With a bang, the entire felt tent collapsed. He and the few confidants who were protecting him were exposed, and more and more people gathered around him.

The more they gathered, the more they gathered in the center. There were several torches in front of them, and the flames followed the wind and were burning brightly. Although everyone was wearing very bulky clothes, the one in the middle still looked much slimmer compared to the big men next to him.

, she only showed a pair of eyes, and Ye Luohe's heart sank deeply when he saw these eyes.

"Do you blame me? Do you blame me? The foundation of Ganzhou is difficult to protect, and countless people have lost their lives on the battlefield. Others can die, but you can't die?"

Seeing the cold and contemptuous eyes around him, Ye Luohe suddenly roared in despair.

Aguli stood quietly and said coldly: "Then, how do you explain that you sent Ali to sneak back to Ganzhou to try to kill me and instigated Lao Hu and Su Man to turn against each other?"

Ye Luohe became angry with shame: "I am the Great Khan, I am a big Uighur man, everything belongs to me, the pastures, cattle and sheep, your lives, what can't be sacrificed for the great cause? I tell you to live as long as you live.

If I tell you to die, you must die! Therefore, I am your great khan, I am your great man, who dares to kill me? Who dares to kill me?"

"Not anymore!"

Aguli said calmly, pointing her finger, "Swish, swish, swish..." Countless sharp arrows were shot at them. Within a moment, Ye Luohe and several guards around him were covered in arrows and slowly fell to the ground.

.

Aguli looked at Ye Luohe's body quietly with complicated eyes. After a while, a confidant general quietly walked up to her: "Sir, what should we do now?"

Aguli took off her mask and revealed a bright red mouth: "After Yeluohe's defeat, General Ai hurriedly detached his troops and left. I heard that the king was sending troops to Northern Liao, and Longyou was newly restored, and the foundation was unstable.

, let's... just sit in Longyou for the time being and guard the backyard for the king!"

"Yes, what about their... bodies?"

"Where is the loess that doesn't bury people?" Aguli glanced at the body of the man who used to be her man for the last time. The trace of confusion in her eyes was gone, and her eyes were shining and as clear as water.
