Chapter 416 The Battle of Yanmen Pass (3)
In fact, even if some Khitans are closer to them, who dares to provoke them when looking at the powerful lineup of this Tang cavalry?
Their location was full of sight of the battlefield. Seeing the riots roaring and shouting, swarming up with despair, drowning everything in the smoke and dust. The sound of fighting and screaming could be heard even though they were so far away. I wonder how many people fell on the earth outside the Great Wall during this fight. Both sides sacrificed their lives, one for plunder and the other for defending the country. No matter which general or leader on either side, they wanted to try their best to save their pitiful possessions in this troubled world and refused to be swallowed up by this cannibalistic world.
The two sides fought at this time, but the cruel and cruel and bloody aspects still made the viewer unable to help but move Li Siyuan among the moved people. There was a horse next to him. The white-faced general sitting on it was very young and delicate, with surprisingly calm and sophisticated eyes, which was Duan Mingyu.
Shi Jingtang, who was beside Li Siyuan, couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed slightly: "Why do these Khitans come? After we were ruled by the Tang people, we snatched the land... Now we are fighting to death, and we don't know all our actions are completely useless... King Zhao might as well take action earlier and die fewer people. It's really a sin..."
Duan Mingyu turned his head and looked at him coldly: "But I didn't expect that you, a fighting man, are kind-hearted."
Shi Jingtang's face turned red and wanted to defend something, but he was so silly that he couldn't say it. Duan Mingyu looked at him and said: "You are still from a general. When Huang Chao was in great power that day, he broke our prefectures and counties, and a large number of people were kidnapped, or they were incorporated into military horses and filled in gullies when they were about to fight. Or they made human meat buns and used military rations. Why are you not so kind? These people attacked our homes and were haters.
If you die all of them, what else can you do? As long as you die not the people of the Tang Dynasty, when the Khitan was powerful, the border areas in Hebei were plundered without Caogu? Once, every family in the border areas wore mourning, and I didn’t see you complaining about the people. The Khitan rose on the side. The north would have to turn over the battlefield in the future, and it would be cleaned up to become a reliable place for our Tang Dynasty. Alas, the lives of people in troubled times are like grass. Do you think I feel good in my heart?"
Duan Mingyu turned his head disdainfully, looked at the battlefield in front of him coldly, and continued: "This world is a world that cannibalism. If the barbarians are not hurt, it will be the end of the country's destruction. These Khitan Xi people have to accept their fate. Everything we do here is to not let the Tang Dynasty, the city of Chang'an, Luoyang, and even the heartland of Jiangnan be like this today. For this, God let me be a butcher, and I will recognize it."
Shi Jingtang even had his neck red and patted his chest: "Prince Zhao, I am also a martial official of the Tang Dynasty. How can I not know how to fight against me? When they are wiped out, you can see if I am soft-hearted."
"Okay, I will wait and see." In the history of later generations, in order to be the emperor, Shi Jingtang borrowed troops from the Khitan at the cost of cedeing the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. From then on, there was no barrier in the Central Plains. The nomadic peoples marched straight in. Even with the ancestors of Song and the masters of Song, they were defeated by the Gaoliang River and became the eternal pain of the Han family. Therefore, Duan Mingyu was really not interested in Shi Jingtang at all. So when he saw this guy at first, he wanted to directly act on behalf of the heavens, so as not to gain power and harm his descendants.
After calming down, I thought, I would rather forget it. After all, it is different now. Who knows whether Shi Jingtang will be a traitor again? Maybe he may be a loyal general in this life. However, Duan Mingyu still didn't give him a good look. He snorted, and even if he heard it, he continued to concentrate on watching the battlefield for a long time. The smoke and dust stirred up on the battlefield gradually dissipated a little, and then he saw those Khitan troops, with ants attached to the camp, inside and outside the trenches, and there were paths paved with corpses everywhere. The camp was fighting with red eyes, arrows and weapons flying, boiling water and hot oil poured into the heads of the fortress, which aroused a scream.
The camp was also covered with casualties, and several large holes were dug out. The people in the village held large trees and pushed towards the gap step by step. Even the old, weak, women and children in the village were lying on both sides, desperately throwing soil and rocks into the gap. Large groups of people from both sides gathered at the gap, and stabbed them with spears on both sides. The crowd was so dense that they were stabbed by the spear, and the body could not even fall down.
At this time, the situation gradually stabilized on the village wall. Several walls that were originally occupied by the Khitan were blocked. Several corpses that were cut by the thorns were thrown off the village wall. Then a shout sounded: "General, we won, we took it down, we took it down, we took it down, we rushed in, we rushed in."
At this point of viewing the battle, Duan Mingyu's face shook his head, rode his horse and turned around, and was about to rush down to the mound: "I don't see it anymore, there are no more powerful troops, and the generals are in charge. These Khitan soldiers can't even touch the edge of Yanmen Pass. Yelu Abaoji's reserve troops should be thrown in. If you don't use all your strength, you will be defeated."
The generals around him half understood Duan Mingyu's words, and they watched Duan Mingyu turn around, followed one after another, jumped down the mound, and galloped back towards the way they came. In the distance, the Tang army retreated again like a tide, preparing for a second attack, but they didn't know how many corpses and souls were added to the next attack.
In the Khitan camp, the young Yelu Deguang squeezed out of the crowd and disappeared in the chaotic crowd. The sound of fighting was still coming as a shock. A shout suddenly broke out in front of him: "Bear, defeat, retreat, retreat, retreat."
The howling screams when retreating were three more louder than before. The retreating crowd made the crowd rush to the circle of people shaking. Yelu Deguang opened his voice and ordered in Khitan at the top of his lungs: "Everyone retreats, everyone retreats, don't be in the forefront, fight to keep it steady, everyone must not disperse. In this world, only when we take care of each other can we protect our lives."
