1218 Gao Xingzhou, Du Chongwei, is also the enemy of the hit
There were also a large group of Wei Dynasty cavalry, which arrived from the south to the river bank. The flags were waving among the troops, and the weapons and armor were rubbing and colliding with friction and impact, and a terrifying murderous aura was spreading out of the cavalry formation... The reason why the Khitan knights were frightened was also because they saw clearly the flags among the Wei cavalry on the south bank...
Gao Xingzhou, the governor of Lulong Army, was the only one who invaded the territory and attacked Caogu. Why did the Wei Dynasty mobilize such a large army? How could he, the commander of the vassal state, personally slay the army? This is not a slaughter of a ox and a knife to kill chickens!
When Gao Siji, the white horse and silver spear, was famous in Yanyun. His son Gao Xingzhou served in the Wei Dynasty and was promoted to the Yizhen Jiedushi. He had long been famous. Therefore, his reputation was definitely well-known for the former members of the Khitan Army and Lu Long Army... At this moment, Gao Xingzhou's cold eyes fell to the Khitan cavalry who were hasty to fight in the north. His eyes were like fire, and he shouted:
"The troops in front of the army were pressed up to wipe out the enemy cavalry, but left more than a hundred cavalry to cross the river to flee. The entire army followed me to pursue it, and there was no need to worry about whether to enter the Khitan territory. On the way, whenever an army came out to respond, no matter whether the other party was a Khitan official army, he still had to hide and pretend to be a horse thief, even if he destroyed the enemy's formation in one fell swoop!"
The armored cavalry in front of the Lu Long Army responded with a loud noise, and the sound shook the sky. The rows of armored cavalry began to drive the horses under their crotch to accelerate, and soon rushed forward, rushing towards the river bank with a overwhelming momentum!
When the main Ya Army of Lulong Town arrived, it was natural to eat the Khitan cavalry with only a thousand people. The sound of shouting and neighing at the horse became even more intense. The Khitan knights screamed and fell off the horse and killed them. The cavalry outside were swept away in an instant.
After only a moment of fighting, the heart of the river was covered with human and horse corpses, and the water flow could not disperse for a while, and the large area of river water had been dyed red. Because Gao Xingzhou was interested in setting up a long line and fishing for big fish, a hundred cavalry barely rushed to the north bank of the river, "Retreat! Retreat!" The cavalry general who was commanding the remaining troops shouted loudly in panic, waved the steel fork like crazy and broke through, running straight to the north without looking back.
Seeing that the remaining hundreds of Khitan knights were indeed retreating towards the territory under the Khitan rule, Gao Xingzhou shook the reins, and the snow-white war horse under his crotch, sighed and neighed, let go of his four hooves and turned into a lightning bolt and ran out. The Lulong Town Ya cavalry around him followed closely, with iron hooves flying, making continuous rumbles. A large gun in the front row of armored riders pointed forward, forming a sharp steel forest, sweeping straight towards the north.
The defeated Khitan soldiers who sneaked into the Wei Dynasty intended to plunder the grass valley, but only more than a hundred cavalry left were fleeing in a panic. Although they were still alive for the time being, they still couldn't delay for a moment... Because behind them, the Wei Dynasty's cavalry was like a tide and wave, and they were chasing like a mountain collapse and a tsunami, and they were also in a great momentum to counterattack and penetrate into the northern border.
When the fleeing defeated troops rushed to the junction of Youzhou and Shunzhou, which was located in the later years of Beijing Shunyi District, there were indeed large groups of soldiers gathered in an array... The prefectures ruled by the Khitan in Yanyun area were mainly Han people, so this army was mostly the soldiers who defected to the vassal states in the North Side, and even the people who were forcibly conquered from various places. The flags raised in the formation indicated that the commander of this army was Shi Jingtang's brother-in-law Du Chongwei.
Du Chongwei's eyebrows were a bit vulgar, and his face was as heavy as water at the moment, and his appearance was not very pleasing... It is said that his grandfather, his father, Yu Zhenwu, Hedong and other frontier vassal troops, and he was responsible for resisting foreign tribes in the north. However, Du Chongwei was commanding the Han army reorganized by the Khitan and working hard for the foreign tribes. He looked at the hundred remaining troops who were ordered to hunt grass valley and returned in panic. On the vast horizon in the distance, smoke and dust gradually rose up in the sky. A huge Wei army was like a torrent, killing in vast expanse.
"Immediately send an order to inform the Wei army that this place is already under our Khitan rule. The two countries must guard the border carefully and do not cross the border without authorization!"
Du Chongwei raised his head and ordered loudly, with a look of a villain who was pretending to be a powerful person... According to his thoughts, even if the Wei Dynasty and the Khitan are now in secret, the war has not yet officially started. If the situation of each other is too big, they will still be somewhat scruples. Unless the Wei Dynasty Li Tianqu and Khitan Yelu Abaoji issued an edict to start the war, the Lu Long Army should not make any claims, which intensified the conflict between the two sides.
However, Gao Xingzhou, who was chasing the main Ya Army in Lulong Town, looked up at him and found that the Khitan army was gathering in the north... After ordering the military academy to report that when he learned about the flags raised in the military formation over there, he immediately snorted heavily and said in a cold voice:
"Du Chongwei? I heard that the guy was originally from a general of Hedong, but he followed his grandson, General Shi Jingtang, to be a lackey of the Khitan... All the guys followed me to kill the border, and the Khitan secretly planned to do something bad, but he wanted to cover up the truth. But my Lu Long Army soldiers were straightforward. His Majesty had already given the instructions, so he killed them straightly!
The Khitan had long imagined heavy troops here, and it was obvious that he wanted to cover up the villains who were raiding our border areas, which was like stealing the bell. No matter who came to stop our army was Du Chongwei, Shi Jingtang, or the marshal of the world's military and horses, Yelu Deguang... just fight him for a while and wipe out all the enemy chiefs who dared to invade our Great Wei!"
As Gao Xingzhou finished speaking, he immediately attracted a loud response from a group of fierce armored cavalry around him... After all, the Lulong army's vassal states not only began to be established during the founding of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty during the period of the innate period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, except for the period when An Lushan launched the Anshi Rebellion during the period of the turmoil and the mountains and rivers were broken... and even continued to the end of the previous dynasty. Until now, it was also based on guard against the Khitan and other northern ethnic groups.
What's more, Li Tianqu has issued an edict to several vassal states in the northern border. Although the Khitan has not yet cut off diplomatic relations, it has decided to hand over the war letters and openly declare war... However, in addition to strengthening the border garrison, the vassal states have also reminded several vassal states of the army:
Whether openly or secretly, if the Khitan had already attacked and plundered the Wei Dynasty's territory, then make sure that the war was only carried out in the junction of both sides before the war was declared openly, and it was not up to the point of making a move. If the army was alone, the military governors in various vassal states would do their own way...
Gao Xingzhou was already angry because of the Khitan's behavior of fighting Grass Valley. The emperor would hint that he could start a fight if he could do it, so he could bear it? What's more, the Khitan expedition and annexation of the Bohai Sea, and the main military was not in the north of Yanyun. The garrison in the northern corner of Yanyun was not the other party's elite troops... If you dare to come and provoke, then shouldn't I fight to the death?
Seeing that the main Ya Army in Lulong Town was as strong as a strait, it was still rushing towards this side, and I also noticed that the ground under my feet began to tremble... A slight riot was immediately caused in the Han army formation of the Khitan Yanyun. Du Chongwei, who was in charge of the middle formation, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a trace of shock flashed through his eyes... No? Gao Xingzhou, the governor of the Lulong Army of Wei Dynasty, really dared to cross the border and invade the border, and he did not care about confronting the Khitan official army head-on?
Of course Du Chongwei would not know that according to his original fate, he was a traitor, although he took Shi Jingtang's sister and was the sister-in-law of the founding emperor and was in power in the Later Jin period of the Five Dynasties and the country was in a crisis, but he shamelessly cursed the Khitan and became a surrender party. However, when Liu Zhiyuan became emperor and established the Later Han regime, he was unwilling to transfer elsewhere, so he launched a mutiny and rebelled, and tried to be a lackey to rely on the Khitan as his backer... However, at that time, the military commander sent by the Later Han court to attack him was Gao Xingzhou.
So although the environment background is very different from the original historical records, Gao Xingzhou and Du Chongwei still have to meet and confront each other on the battlefield!
