Chapter 077 Chenzhou's relief, join forces with Wanqiu

On the periphery of Wanqiu in Chenzhou, not only Huang Chao's troops in Luyi, Taikang and other places were defeated one after another. The defenders of another Xihua Village established by the anti-army were also in a desperate situation of complete defeat at this moment. Not only did they suffer heavy losses and had no power to fight back, they had to be slaughtered.

Huang Siye, the younger brother of Huang Chao who was ordered to take charge of this military camp, had already been killed so much that he was covered in armor and was covered in blood. He was exhausted and panting. He finally broke out from the broken camp that was sieve by Xuanwu soldiers. However, a group of military cavalry intercepted him, holding up a series of sabers with sharp blades and rushing towards the rebel generals beside him...

Huang Siye had several more bloody wounds on his body. He panickedly urged his cavalry to escape for a while and then looked back and saw that the only remaining soldiers and horses that were hit with him were all swallowed up by the enemy's troops.

The battle was wiped out. The shrilling arrows broke through the wind and still rushed past him. A large number of armored cavalry were chasing their weapons and scattered their souls. Huang Siye had to rush to pull the war horse under his crotch, leaving him alone, and ran out in a panic to the Eight Immortal Camp on the north side of Wanqiu, Chenzhou.

The Jiedu of the four vassal states led the elite troops and horses of his troops to continuously cut off the Huang Chao's troops outside Wanqiu. For Huang Chao, who was becoming increasingly fierce and impatient, there were people behind him stabbing him again. If he had to give up besieging Wanqiu and turn his troops towards the vassal states that rushed to rescue, which army should he concentrate his forces to attack?

In the past year, the morale of Huang Chao's army continued to be weak. Zhu Wen and Li Ke used the military horses led by the two Jiedushis, who were the most good at fighting and difficult to stop. Zhou Ji and Shi Pu were also in concert with the two vassal states... After several defeats, the loss of troops and generals were successively damaged, and the morale of the army was further hit. Huang Chao was furious and knew very well that the boundaries of Chenzhou had been lingering for a long time...

For the military and civilians of Wanqiu, they had been gritting their teeth and defending for nearly a year, and now they finally hope that the anti-army evacuation will be announced that the war to defend the city will eventually end in victory.

Taking advantage of the situation to go out of the city to cover up and kill a few formations, Li Tianqu and others gathered their armored soldiers under the leadership of Zhao Chang to go out of the city to kill the evacuated anti-army rear formation troops. After several pursuits and fighting, Li Tianqu still urged his horse to lift his sword. Wherever he passed, the waves were divided, the people were on their backs and the horses were over, and they also made some achievements.

However, after a long time, Zhang Guiba, who had experienced countless battles and confrontations at Wanqiu City Pass and had been tired of dealing with Li Tianqu several times, Ge Congzhou's anti-army acted very quickly. When the news of Huang Chao's army's evacuation reached Wanqiu City, he had quickly evacuated. He fought several times but never encountered the troops they were commanding.

Wanqiu was freed from the situation of being blocked and besieged by the army, and immediately a scout of horses continued to explore the sound of war in the surrounding areas. Not only did Huang Chao lead the people to leave in dejection, but Qin Zongquan, Caizhou, also quickly withdrew his troops and separated from Huang Chao's troops. The troops led their troops back to the territory they were originally under the jurisdiction.

Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, Zhou Ji, and Shi Pu's ultimate goal of sending troops was to fight for such an extraordinary achievement as killing Huang Chao, not to help the poor and help the people of Chenzhou. Therefore, regardless of whether Wanqiu City was destroyed or not, they still had to work together to continue to pursue Huang Chao's tribes.

However, since Wanqiu has been preserved strongly in the nearly year-long war of defence, it was because Zhu Wen, Li Keyong and other military governors joined forces to send troops. The vassal states swept all the anti-army outside Chenzhou, and they were rested and rectified when they passed through Wanqiu. It was natural that the settlement was presided over by the governor Zhao Yuan.

In just a few days, nearly 10,000 troops from the vassal states had arrived in front of the city. Li Tianqu heard that the first person to lead the military was Zhu Wen or Li Keyong's general, but Li Shiyue, the heroic general under the command of the army, was influenced by the military governor Shi Pu.

It turned out that it was a person who fought with Qian Liu, the founding king of Wu Yue, according to the official trajectory. Li Tianquxin said that Li Shiyue had not yet become one of the key figures in promoting Huang Chao's execution, and was given a generous reward from the court. When Pu took control of his own side.

There should be many variables in the future. Then I don’t know if Li Shiyue has the opportunity to set up his own business again, and he does not have to be beaten by Zhu Wen in the future with his current lord Shi Pu...

In history, since he had wandered among forces such as Yang Xingmi, Qian Liu of the Southern Wu, and Qian Liu of Wu and Yue, he did not hesitate to follow Dong Chang, who had established himself as an emperor, and then bargained with the court to win the title of a governor, Fu Yin his son. Li Tianqu personally met with the general Li Shiyue, who was still relied on by Shi Pu, but when he saw that his words and deeds were somewhat majestic as a soldier, he also showed a bit of calmness when he greeted and treated people and other Chenzhou officials such as Zhao Lu, Zhao Chang, and Zhao Lu.

However, even if Li Shiyue is a good person, the more than 10,000 troops that followed him through Wanqiu were not the same.

When the military horses of the influence army drove to Wanqiu City, Li Tianqu saw a military brigade. They rode strong horses, and in addition to long and short weapons, most of them were equipped with horn bows and feather arrows. In addition to the strong armor they wore, these cavalry wore leather felts and boots, and there were also deep-eyed and whiskers in the array. They urged their horses to enter the city and laughed loudly from time to time. Li Tianqu heard roughly that these archers and archers seemed to be speaking Shatuo.

Although it was a military composed of Shatuo people, it seemed to have something to do with Shi Pu, the governor of the Rebellion Army, but it was not a subordinate who obeyed Li Keyong's troops in Hedong.

As for An Renyi, who was also a Shatuo people, held his arms and looked coldly. Some people looked at the Shatuo army and only looked at each other for a moment. They did not show any kindness because they were from the same clan.

An Renyi, who knew Shatuo's words, reported to Li Tianqu: "The generals, these people are from the Shatuo army of Boye."

Li Tianqu nodded when he heard this, thinking that Boye's territory is now under the jurisdiction of Shenzhou, and is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Chengde Jiedu. It seems that this Shatuo tribe is not only free from the tribes under Li Keyong, but also may not be the same as other groups of the same tribe.

Originally, as a branch of the Western Turkic people, there was some similarity with the ethnic minorities in later generations. Most of them regarded themselves as the people of the Tang Dynasty, had accepted high levels of sinicization, and spoke very skillful in the official language, but they still retained the language and customs of their own nation. However, completely different from later generations, in such troubled times, they would gather into military armed forces of all sizes based on their ethnic background.

It is not uncommon for military groups like An Renyi, which do not rely on the Shatuo tribe, but rushes to the Central Plains alone to make achievements based on their abilities. According to his original trajectory, if he joins Yang Xingmi, the territory in the south of China, is already far from the land where his ancestors lived and reproduced. In the same camp, Mi Zhicheng, who is also famous for his good riding and shooting, was also from the Shatuo people.

In other Central Plains and even in the more southern regions, Shatuo people also scattered to make a living for the local monarchs.

The military armed forces, mainly composed of Shatuo people, were in the territory of Xiangyang a few years ago. After recruiting envoys in Jiangxi, the Shannan Jiedushi recruited Huang Chao and lost a lot, forcing him to give up forcing Xiangyang and attack Ezhou.

In the same year, Li Keyong also followed his son Li Guochang's plan to get involved in the Tang court and had to run north to exile the Tatars. How could he command the Shatu tribe who had grown to the scale of the scale that could be enough to kill the Shatu tribe who retreated for a while in order to ping the national crisis and pursuing the national crisis?

As for Shi Pu, the governor of the Rebellion Army, he originally had the jurisdiction of Xu, Si, Hao and Su, which belonged to the Huaihai territory. In theory, the soldiers and horses under his command should also be dominated by the Han family. However, when he later became terrified with Zhu Wen and fought against each other, he also had records of using foreign generals to conquer foreign soldiers. If we include the Boye Shatuo Army, it seems to be somewhat similar to the mercenary.
