Chapter 195: Pursuit
The Khitan cavalry under Wuyuan City were suddenly attacked and suffered heavy losses. All the rest of them rushed to the ground and fled around, just like a flock of sheep attacked by wolves. They only regretted that their parents gave birth to them less.
This change caused the Yanmujin, who was surrounded by Khitan generals, to be surrounded by the moon, and his heart was fluctuating and his plain face became cold, and he was more frightened and afraid.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Li was so insidious that she even calculated the defeated army so accurately, which made them lose another game.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Before the two girls could feel emotion, the sound of horse hooves roaring in the distance approached quickly. It was obvious that the Yue cavalry led by Zhu Li was chasing him.
"Two guys, go quickly. Zhu Li is going to kill us all." A Khitan general, full of horror, looked at Yanmujin like blood crying, Yue Lixin begged.
"Yes, we are definitely not the enemy of Zhu Li. We are two, please leave quickly." Another general immediately agreed.
"Sanmoge, the Tang people said it well, 'If you keep the green mountains, why don't you be afraid of burning firewood?'" Yue Lixin also looked at Yanmujin anxiously and advised him, she didn't want to die, she had to live, she had a reason to live.
......
In an instant, the Khitan General Nowhere spoke out to comfort him, making Yanmujin’s beautiful eyes covered with blood. He turned his head to look at the Khitan warrior who fled in panic under the rain of arrows, suppressed the grief in his heart and said, “Let’s go, I will get this account back from Zhu Li sooner or later.”
Without waiting for the Yue cavalry led by Zhu Li to approach, Yanmujin and Yuelixin, they brought several Khitan generals, as well as two or three thousand terrifying Khitan cavalrymen, and quickly bypassed Wuyuan City and galloped towards the northwest.
In fact, the Tang army on the top of the city rushed out three or four waves of arrow rain. Their number was only more than 5,000 people, and their step shooting was only more than 1,000 people. The casualties of the Khitans were only two or three thousand people. In this way, there should be only seven or eight thousand people left in Yanmujin's troops.
But they couldn't stand the fear of death of the defeated soldiers. Faced with death, many Khitan warriors could not care about the direction. As long as they could escape from the rain of arrows, they turned around and ran away, regardless of where they fled.
In addition, Zhu Li was chasing her quickly, forcing Yanmujin, Yuelixin and others to have no time to gather everyone, so they could only pull out their horses and leave, and the remaining rafts had no time to pay attention to.
Zhu Li rode his horse to the bottom of Wuyuan City and frowned slightly when he saw the Khitan corpses all over the ground. He rushed slowly but was still one step late. He waved his hand and called a captain from the top of the city. He pointed to the headless fly and fled to the Khitan cavalry in all directions, and said solemnly: "These people cannot let them wander in Fengzhou. Arrange personnel as soon as possible to go and eliminate them."
The commander "No" bowed his hand and responded very firmly.
After instructing the commander again, Zhu Li immediately led the Yue cavalry and chased after Yanmujin and others in the direction of escape.
There is only one direction for the Yanmaojin to escape, that is, the northwest direction.
Because only there is a passage to get out of the jurisdiction, and the rest of the places are full of rolling mountains. Zhu Li doesn't think that in such a crisis, Yanmujin and others will abandon their horses and cross the mountains.
The nation on the horse's back, how much combat power can they have left without the war horses? Yan Mojin will definitely not be so stupid.
The face of the rock mother flying on the horse
The color was so purple that it was not excited, but frustrating. This time, the attack on Fengzhou was so embarrassing that it also caused my sister-in-law's family to be captured by the Tang army.
The fall of Wuyuan, and the fate of Yelu Lupo is self-evident. Yanmujin's current mood can be imagined, which is extremely bad.
Yue Lixin felt bad. Her husband was killed and her situation among the Khitans was also very embarrassing.
She was not a Khitan noble, but an ordinary shepherd girl who grew up with Murong Ba, Murong Ba was so beautiful that she climbed up to the position of Tama Shishali. Her wife was noble because of her husband's honor, and she had her current status. But her husband died in battle, which made her situation embarrassed.
"Sanmoge, where are we going now?" Although she was full of bitterness, it was still important to escape now. Yuelixin's child was not yet an adult. If she died in the pass, who would take care of her child, she would never die here. Thinking of this, she asked Xiang Yanmujin.
"Go to Gaoque and go straight to the north of the Seibei region. The desert and grassland are our hunting grounds. As long as Zhu Li dares to chase him, I will make him pay the price of bleeding in the north of the Seibei region." Yan Mojin gritted his teeth and wished he could eat Zhu Li raw and flesh and blood and responded.
Yue Lixin and several Khitan generals nodded repeatedly when they heard this. The grassland was the hunting ground for cavalry, and they were the least effective. If they could not defeat the other party, they believed that they could escape.
Since entering Fengzhou, these Khitan elites have been led by Gao Su. Not only did the cavalry's advantages not be used at all, but they were all used as sword and shield soldiers, which made them feel very frustrated.
Yanmujin's words aroused their inner pride. These Khitan warriors believed that in the grassland and desert, they were still the warriors who made their tribe proud.
As long as Zhu Li dares to enter the north of the Frontier, it is not difficult to defeat the other party with his familiarity with the vast wilderness and the yellow sand in the sky. This is the confidence of all Khitans, and I don’t know if it can be fulfilled.
Since Yanmujin made such a decision, the Khitans all agreed. They ran northwest and headed straight towards Gaoque.
Gaoque is the gap between Dalang Mountain and Xiaolang Mountain. There is a valley road in the middle, which can reach the north.
According to historical records, "The mountains are broken, and the two sides of the shore are both banished. They are good at raising the clouds. They look like horses and look like horses, and their joints are indicative, so they are called high bans."
During the Qin Dynasty, the general Meng Tian had his troops out of Gaoque and attacked the Xiongnu in the north, which was a key fortress on the frontier of the Central Plains.
But this fortress was captured by Li Renfu, who was mingling in Fengzhou when Yanmujin and Shulu's concubine knocked on the gate. It was now in vain. Even the Khitans did not garrison here.
The figure of the Khitan soldiers sank into the deep valley of Gaoque, making Zhu Li's face even more ugly. The woman Yanmujin is so slippery, she is even smoother than a loach. It seems that it is not easy to catch her.
Going out of the deep valley of Gaoque Fortress is the north of the Pass, which is a field on the northern foot of Yin Mountain. According to the information found by the Ghost Guard, there was a Shiwei tribe entrenched there, among which the Di people were very cruel and barbaric and ignorant.
When he arrived here, Zhu Li stopped at the horse and saw a little hesitation on his face. This expression made Gao Siji see it. He thought that Zhu Li was planning to give up the pursuit, so he hurriedly bowed: "General, it is unpredictable to go outside the border. According to his subordinates' opinions, it is better to give up. 30,000 elite Khitans attacked Fengzhou. Now there are only two women left, and they escaped with more than a thousand people. I believe that they will not dare to invade easily again in the future."
Zhu Li's face showed
A bitter smile, Gao Siji was right. In this battle in Fengzhou, the Di people could be said to be a big loss; but how could the other party know the importance of Yanmujin?
This woman is the mother of the future hero Yelu Abaoji. If she captures her, it will at least affect the growth of that hero. People from later generations know that children who lack the love of their parents are mostly incomplete in their hearts.
Zhu Li just seized the pound of Yan's mother, and this hero could not grow up healthily. As long as the other party's personality flaws appear, as the great enemy of the Khitans, the general of the Central Plains can follow his weaknesses and defeat and kill that person. Of course, this is just the most intuitive result.
The one who has the most influence is the tribe where the hero is located, a superior who has a broken heart. The tribe under his leadership will not develop healthily. Zhu Li has no doubt about this.
If this woman is let go, Zhu Li has a grudge against her to kill her husband, and even more hatred for destroying her father with the future hero. How could this mother and son give up?
If they did not give up, then how could the Heshuo area under Zhu Li's control be peaceful?
As long as Yanmao escapes, this situation will almost be a fact. The Khitans' praise for filial piety is no less than that of the Han people, and they even do better in many aspects.
Didn't see that after Meng Juehai killed Li Guochang, did Li Keyong and Zhu Li remain unresolved? The father's hatred was irreconcilable. For the ancients, the hatred of killing his father was absolutely irreconcilable.
If he could hold the Yanmujin in his hand, Zhu Li would undoubtedly have a trump card that could be relied on for the future hero of the Khitan.
Even if you are in the north of Masai, you must seize the pound of Yanmu. This is a dangerous situation, and Zhu Li made a decision in her heart.
"Gao Siji obeys the order." Once a decision is made, Zhu Li will never be vague and immediately shout.
"I'm here." Gao Siji was stunned, but immediately he adjusted his body and mind, and quickly bowed his hands to respond.
"I will ask you to lead a thousand-other soldiers to guard Gaoquesai, and you will also take care of Jilusai several miles away until Gao Su and Zhang Jingda send someone to take over the two places."
"During this period, this place cannot be lost. Can you do it?" Zhu Li turned her head and looked at Gao Siji solemnly.
"I promise that my subordinates should protect their heads, and they are stuck in their hands." Gao Siji made a generous promise.
The location of Gaoque Pass was too important. During the Warring States Period, King Wuling, the initiator of Hufu and Cavalry, built the Great Wall to Gaoque. This was a fortress for attacking the Di people in the north of the Central Plains. "One man is the pass, but ten thousand men cannot open" is not a false statement.
The importance of Gaoque Pass was definitely not the only one who realized that King Wuling of Zhao had realized that in countless years, all promising emperors of all dynasties valued this place. This was a very meaningful fortress.
After more than two thousand Yue cavalry, Zhu Li left more than one thousand for Gao Siji. Even if he couldn't catch the pound of Yan's mother, Gao Que Pass could not be trapped anymore. He was in his hand and the people of Beidi were like dogs. This is one of the meaning of Gao Que Pass.
Zhu Li said that Gao Siji would stay here. The intention was already very obvious. He wanted to pursue Yanmujin. This intention made Gao Siji very puzzled. He didn't understand why Zhu Li attached so much importance to those two women.
Although he knew Zhu Li’s intention, he bowed and asked, “Do you want to continue pursuing the Khitans?”
