Eight hundred and seventieth chapters out of the mountain
On the fourth day of November, before dusk, Li Fengyun and the elected horse army arrived at the edge of the northern foot of Songshan Mountain, camped in a valley lower than the Hu River to rest, and sent the King of Shige Lei, Yuan Qizhe, and each led a team of scouts to the Jinkou area of Chifeng overnight to inquire about the news.
The scout team of the King of the King of the Tsuges and Jinkou of Songshan Mountain and Chifeng has been closely following the military situation on both sides of the Tuohechen River and Ruoluo River. However, the sky and rivers were frozen, and the Khitans strengthened the blockade of Anzhou, resulting in difficulties in action and limited information.
On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar month, King Yu He returned with a horse, panting and exhausted, but he could not hide his excitement between his eyebrows. After paying homage to Li Fengyun, he said anxiously, "Ming Gong, good news, Shi De's troops have fought back and are fighting fiercely with the Khitan Yaolai troops in the Huadao tent."
Li Fengyun raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing a look of surprise, and Huluba was also surprised. The two looked at each other and leaned over to look at the map spread on the table.
On the map, from Chifeng Jinkou to the east and down the Luoma River for more than a hundred miles along the Luoma River, the Luoma River and the Tuohechen River converge. On the east bank of the Tuohechen River is Luoma City, the capital of the Khitan Yaolai tribe; from Luoma City to the south and along the Tuohechen River for more than a hundred miles is the flower road tent; the flower road tent is the dividing point between the Xi tribe and the Khitans at the Tuohechen River, a narrow river valley controlled by the Xi tribe, and in the northwest it is Chifeng Jinkou.
These three dangerous places must be distributed in a cone shape. Among them, Jinkou of Chifeng and Huadao Tent are the defensive shields of the Xi tribe, and the fallen city is the attack spear of the Khitans. Since the Xi tribe captured Anzhou, the Xi tribe has been backed by Zhongtu, a fierce beast eyeing, and there is the Turkic wolf on the flank, which is not at ease with sleeping and eating, so facing the attack of the Khitans, they can only defend passively. Therefore, the area of a hundred miles between the three dangerous places has become the main battlefield for the two tribes to attack each other.
This summer, the Xi tribe devoted its efforts to conquer the Khitan, but was blocked by the fallen city and could not move forward. As a result, the two sides became a stalemate. The most important reason was that the Xi tribe and the Khitan were both injured, and the Donghu tribes were mutually conquered and consumed each other. A scattered sand was the situation that the Turks wanted to see, and it was also an effective means to control other tribes of different surnames. Unexpectedly, the Middle-earth people, who thought they were bound by the Eastern Expedition and were unable to take care of themselves, took advantage of the situation and took the lead in robbing them, ate the Xi tribe in one bite, and snatched the Turks' "peaches".
The "sneak attack" of the Middle-earth people not only caught the Turks off guard, but also made the Khitans get a big advantage. However, at the beginning of the drastic changes in Anzhou, the Khitans also misjudged the situation, thinking that the Turks were the Turks who attacked Anzhou, and believed that the Turks had to take the opportunity to eat the Xi tribe with the help of supporting the Khitan to stabilize the northeast. So, under scars and exhaustion, they hurriedly followed and chased, trying to beat the dogs in the water and pick up a cheaper one. Unexpectedly, the Xi tribe's troops took advantage of the local combat advantage, and took advantage of the dangerous terrain on the southeastern foot of Mayu Mountain to successfully block the Khitans' revenge attack.
Soon, the Khitans got news from the secret spies lurking in the ghost side that it was Zhongtu, and the Khitans judged that the Turks were going to send troops. The two powerful men might have to fight for the ownership of Anzhou. So the Khitans decided to withdraw their troops to watch the changes and the fisherman gained profits. In fact, the Khitans had been fighting for several months in a row, and the loss was too great. Winter was coming again and needed rest. In addition, they were worried about repeating the mistakes of the Xi tribe. After all, the Khitan alliance of the eight tribes had been severely damaged. Once Bulishe on the north bank of the Ruoluo River was determined to eat them and command the Turkic Control Xian and the coalition forces of the Cun tribes to launch a sharp attack from behind, the Khitan was in danger.
As soon as the Khitans retreated, Shide tribe of course counterattacked. Although news came from the battlefield of Wulishui that Ah Hui and Xi were defeated and surrounded, Shide tribe had no choice. The Middle-earth people could not kill the Qijin Mountain for the time being. Now the Khitans threatened the survival of Shide tribe. Of course, they had to roar down along the Torhechen River to regain the previously lost land and minimize their own losses.
The Eight Khitan tribes alliance, with the Dahe clan as the leader, and the four tribes of Tuohe River, Yaolai, Yaonian and Diala were the strongest, with the deepest hatred with the Xi tribe and the closest interests in Anzhou. Therefore, the other four tribes that came from the long distance from the Far East bordered the Jun tribe, Shiwei, Mohe, Goguryeo and Liaodong in Central China, and had the closest interests with the favour of the various races in the Far East. They were at risk of losing their "old nests". Therefore, when the Xi tribe army withdrew from the Shuma City, they hurriedly said goodbye.
When these four tribes returned home, they had to pass through the territory of the Diela tribe and had to supplement supplies in the Diela tribe. Although there were some seizures in this battle with the Xi tribe, the eight tribes divided up, with limited income and no compensation for the losses. Therefore, all tribes were indignant and resentful. This made the Diela tribe very scared, and they were worried that when these four tribes passed by the Diela tribe, they would turn their backs on and burn, kill and loot, and then the Diela tribe was in danger of extermination. So Yelu Tielli, the chief of the Diela tribe, led his army to bid farewell without hesitation.
Yaonian tribes, who live in Shaolang River, were also worried that the "old nest" would be taken away by others, so they returned to the tribe as soon as possible. Yaonian tribes were adjacent to the flat pine forest and close to the Ruoluo River. Raole City on the other side was where Bulishiyao flags were located. Ashinur led 5,000 control strings to deter the Donghu species. In addition, there were nearly 10,000 coalition forces of the tribes of the tribes on Heihe and Langhe, ready to go. In this unfavorable situation, the Yaonian tribes on both sides of the Shaolang River were like a group of fat lambs, and were in danger of being destroyed at any time. Therefore, when the control strings of the Yaonian tribes saw the Xi army retreat, they turned around and returned to Shaolang River, and did not dare to delay at all.
In this way, the only ones who went south to attack Shide's departed were the Chufu tribe and the Yaolai tribe. The territory of the Yaolai tribe was a river plain with a radius of hundreds of miles centered on Luoma City. Although the water and grass were fertile, it was the front line of the two tribes attacking. This year, the five tribes of the Xi tribe came to the fore. The eight Khitan tribes were caught and defended. Yaolai tribes were at the forefront. The losses were astonishing. Luoma City and its surrounding areas were almost ruined, with great damage and dying.
This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. The dying Yaolai tribe is a prey for the neighbors and brothers, and the powerful Yufu tribe, which is a prey to be slaughtered. Fortunately, the Yufu tribe is respected by the Dahe tribe, and the Dahe tribe is the leader of the eight Khitan alliance. It has to be more or less trustworthy and considers some shame. It cannot be too ugly to eat. Therefore, even if the Yufu tribe wants to annex the Yaolai tribe, it has to wait and find a suitable opportunity.
Since the Fu tribe has the intention of annexation, of course, it will not do its best to help the Yaolai tribe recover and grow. On the contrary, it must use all means to attack and weaken the Yaolai tribe, and it is best to force the Yaolai tribe to surrender. So when the two tribes stopped retaliatory attacks on the Xi tribe's Shide tribe and withdrew their respective tribes. The Shide tribe bravely went north and launched a fierce counterattack. When the Yaolai tribe was unable to stop it, the Dahe tribe and the Fu tribe turned a blind eye and let the blood flow and could not continue to fight against the Shide tribe alone.
The Mude tribe didn't want to fight anymore, and couldn't fight anymore. He just wanted to take back the northern pass of the flower tent of his territory and then regained his troops. However, the Oha clan saw that the Yaolai tribe could not hold on anymore and was worried that the war would burn to Luoma City again. The Fu clan had to send troops to support him again, so he immediately provided some support to the Yao ladder to ensure that the Yao ladder guarded the flower tent and continued to fight with the Mude tribe, fighting to the death. The Yao ladder knew that the Dade tribe had ulterior motives and had the intention to annex, but he had no choice. After all, blocking the Mode tribe in the flower tent was much better than burning the war to Luoma City again.
The heavy snow was getting heavier and heavier, the rivers were frozen, the mountain roads were difficult to move, and the food and grass were not enough, the Shide tribe could not support it and planned to give up. But at this moment, news came from the Wulishui battlefield that the Ah Hui and the Xi tribes surrendered to the Middle-earth people. The Xi tribe established a new alliance, and the Shide tribe was a member of the new alliance. The Xi tribe cooperated with the Fengyun Alliance led by the former Songmo thief Bailang to establish the Anzhou Grand Alliance. The Great Alliance made a promise to the Shide tribe that the Guifang's King of the King of the King of the Guifang would provide food and grass weapons support to the Shide tribe in the shortest time through the Songshan Pass, but the condition was that the Shide tribe must regain the flower tent and must maintain the offensive against the Khitans in the fallen city.
The generals of Qijinshan were skeptical, but the chief commander of the Shijiao was decisive and told the front line Yuan Qiracheng that he would contact the important pass of Songshan as soon as possible. As long as there were food and reinforcements, he would of course take back the Huadao tent.
In fact, Yuan Qiercheng had already contacted the Songshan Pass. Although the news of the establishment of the major alliance in Anzhou had not reached the front line, Yuan Qiercheng did not know that the King of the King of the Yuhe and the Shide tribe had already settled their past grudges and shook hands and made peace. However, considering that the Khitan was the common enemy of the two families, the King of the Shide tribe regained the Huadao tent and was beneficial to the King of the Yuhe tribe defending Songshan. The two sides had a basis for cooperation, of course they had to take the initiative to test it. However, the situation in the Guifang at that time was tense, and the alliance army and the Turkic Killing Xian were fighting fiercely, and the key pass was closed and the news was blocked. Songshan did not respond at all, and Yuan Qiercheng was helpless.
At the end of the war between Guifang, Li Fengyun ordered Songshan to contact Yuanqiracheng quickly, maintain the offensive against the flower tent, restrain the Khitan Yaolai troops, and wait for support, but for confidentiality, there was no mention of key issues such as how to support and when to support. Yuanqiracheng saw a glimmer of hope, so he gritted his teeth and continued to attack, and acted as if he would never give up until he took the flower tent.
Now Anzhou has begun its northern expedition, and Li Fengyun led the selection of the horse army to take the lead in Songshan. However, the Khitans are not expected to have enough situation in Anzhou. Even if they are wary of Anzhou, they never expected that the Anzhou army would break out of Songshan with lightning speed. Especially the Yaolai team, which is closest to Songshan, whose main control strings are all restrained by Shide team in the flower tent. At this moment, the fallen city is empty and as dangerous as if it is exhausted.
"Have Yuan Qizhe rushed to the flower tent?" Li Fengyun asked.
The King of the Insults Lei nodded repeatedly, "He met the scout from the flower tent at Jinkou, Chifeng, and left overnight."
Li Fengyun looked at Huluba.
Huluba waved his hand hard, "Soldiers are more powerful, and one blow is fatal."
