Chapter 866 southward, southward
The endless Daqing Mountain lies across the northern part of Dingxiang Tucheng outside the Great Wall. This natural barrier blocks the road from the front plain to the Great Back Mountain.
For thousands of years, this place has become the focus of repeated competition among the nomadic peoples in the north and the Han people in the Central Plains.
There were constant wars and the two sides opened a winding ancient road on Daqing Mountain. This road was ninety miles long and was called the Baidao.
The land of Hetao, the front tower in the eastern part, was called Chilechuan during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which is a rich place.
Its west was also called Fengzhou Beach during the Sui Dynasty.
Luo succeeded and failed and Bi Khan, many Turks fled to the north of the desert, while the Turks who remained joined the Han family. Siye had been in Dingxiang for several years and had been vigorously immigrating and reclaiming wasteland, building cities and setting up villages.
After a poet came to the border and saw the situation here, he wrote a poem about the orchard at the foot of Helan Mountain and the famous old poems in the north and south of the border.
However, Jie Li's re-invasion of the south, especially Liu Wuzhou's sudden rebellion, caught Siye off guard.
"If I had not led the main force to expedition to Jiuyuan at that time, it would have been impossible for Dingxiang to have such a disaster!"
"King of Jin, even though that is the case, who would have expected that Jie Li, Liu Wuzhou and others would cause trouble at this time?"
Military camp.
The soldiers are pulling out the camp.
The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army in Dingxiang, who were constantly flowing, were wearing red military robes and were inlaid with bronze seals according to their official ranks.
The Qin army paid attention to official ranks and military ranks. Those with ranks all have martial ranks, while those without ranks had military ranks.
All the troops have military ranks above the head, while those below the head of the team have no ranks, so they are all awarded the ranks of soldiers. The deputy team is the chief of the sergeant, the sergeant who serves as the flag bearer, the flag guard is the sergeant, and the fire leader of each team is the corporal, the team leader is the corporal, the team leader is the corporal, the second-class private, the third-class private, and the newly enlisted for less than one year is the private.
During the battle, each has its own vassal sequence, but if it is disrupted, the command sequence will be arranged based on the official rank and the level of the military rank, and the level will be determined.
The soldiers carried armor, big-mouthed pants, tied up their legs, and held weapons to go out in an orderly manner.
The military flags fluttered, and the soldiers arranged neatly began to sing military songs. The pace was in an orderly manner with the voice of the army.
In front of the camp gate.
Siye rode on the horse and watched the soldiers.
"King of Jin, our army has only 30,000 people, and now the food and grass are close, so we don't obey the order. We go west to catch 100,000 people in Chai Shao, which is too risky."
“It’s true, but it’s worth it.”
Luo Siye had his considerations, so there was no danger at this time, but he had to go around Xijing and go back to Fanyang. This circle took more than a thousand miles. He had been here for a long time for more than 30,000 miles, and there were not many grains and grasses. This thousand miles of grain and grass is a big problem.
What's more, Luo Siye was even more unwilling to withdraw from Fan Yang.
Blood debt can only be paid for blood.
Jie Li was strong and strong, so he could not confront him head-on for the time being, but Luo Siye felt that there was still a great chance of fighting the 100,000 Tang troops who went to Chai Shao.
Have ambition but no intention.
In addition, when Chai Shao came out of Jiuyuan County before, he had already left many troops there.
Then he encountered heavy rain and floods, and changed his way to detour. He originally wanted to meet Jie Li under Dingxiang City, but if Jie Li had already gone to Mayi, Chai Shao's troops had not arrived in Dingxiang yet.
This is a good opportunity to block.
"Report!"
"Reported that the scouts, Qingqi, had already reached the position of Chai Shao's army, and his army had reached the Jinhe River at the mouth of the Jinhe River, with a force of about 80,000."
Siye asked the entourage Yi'er to take the map, and he looked at it for a while.
"It seems that Chai Shao's march is very slow. He has just arrived at the mouth of Jinhe. Next, he is probably going to march northeast along the Jinhe River, and then go south to the Great Wall Pass through the Khukou and enter the Great Wall Pass to Yunnei to meet Jie Li."
He estimated the distance, and the White Road was about 160 miles away from the Jinhe River.
"Transfer orders and adjust routes, and the entire army no longer goes west, but instead goes south."
"southward?"
········
Toward south, toward south.
A hundred miles south, Dingxiang Dali City.
Under the night, the Turks who were left behind in Dali City discovered that soldiers came from the north.
The horns of the cows sounded, and the five thousand Turkic troops who were left behind woke up from their sleep, put on their armor and picked up swords.
"Did the enemy attack?"
"It seems that the troops are coming."
The Turks climbed the tower and went out of the city to get on the array of horse-singular arrays.
After a long time.
Finally someone came over.
"I am the vanguard under the command of Chai, the general of the Left Wu Guard of the Tang Dynasty. I came to tell you at the order of the Prince Concubine, and I have arrived at the 100,000 Tang troops!"
As he said that, the knight rushed to the city and presented a letter.
The Turkic generals who were left behind in the city heard that Li Tang's troops were coming, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Luo Siye from the north had come.
"Check this letter carefully, not because it was faked by Luo Siye."
A Han man carefully checked for a long time and finally returned the letter to the Turkic general. "It was indeed a letter from Li Tang Chai Shao, and the seal on it was not forged."
"Why did this Chai Shao arrive now?"
"He said that he had to take a detour when encountering a sudden surge on the road, which wasted a lot of time. He also said that the military rations are approaching, so he asked us to borrow some food first."
"It's so fucking to borrow food in the middle of the night, I won't borrow it."
"General, it's not good, after all, they are friendly forces."
"Okay, then let's wait until Chai Shao comes."
Not long after, more people arrived and they stopped in the distance.
A cavalry held up the red and white flags of the Tang army in front, followed by a cavalry team of about two or three hundred people behind.
"The Grand General of the Left Wu Guard of the Tang Dynasty, Duke Chai, Duke of Qiao Guo, has arrived, please open the city gate."
The Turkic people on the city looked at it and yawned, "Let's open the city, damn it's so unlucky. Come here at this time."
The gates of Dali City slowly opened.
The flag bearer under the city held a flag and entered the city first, and then more than 200 cavalry followed him into the city.
The Turks on the city were yawning, thinking that they would close the city gate after they came in, and then they could find a place to snatch a few more times. But suddenly there were bursts of shouts of killing at the city gate.
"Tang Army has rebelled!"
········
The shouts of killing come one after another.
At the city gate, Chai Shao, the eldest general of the left Wugu Guard of the Tang Dynasty, lifted up his armor, but became Luo Siye, the king of Jin in Qin. He waved his sword, slashed left and right, and cut down several Turkic soldiers guarding the gate who were caught off guard.
More knights beside him have launched raids.
Many Turkic people had only one puzzled doubt left before their deaths. Why did the Tang army rebel?
A fire broke out at the north gate of Dali City, and the Xuanwu army soldiers far north of the city finally waited for the order to attack.
"kill!"
More than 30,000 Xuanwu soldiers rushed over with blood hatred.
The Turks in Dali City wanted to resist, but the city gate was broken through, and the Qin army kept pouring in, and the Turkic army left behind with the ruthless reapers of steel swords and spears.
It's dawn.
Five thousand Turkic troops and horses were all wiped out.
He killed more than a thousand troops in one night and captured more than three thousand people.
Siye, covered in blood, sat on the gate of Dali City, facing the rising sun.
