Chapter 298 Night Attack

The Hequ land before the Yellow River enters Hedong Road was Shengzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and it was followed by the Five Dynasties. In the second year of Zhenming of the Later Liang Dynasty, Yelu Abaoji commanded 300,000 troops from all the troops, claiming to be one million. He took the road to Shengzhou and Linzhou attacked Jin. Shengzhou was defeated, and Khitan moved all the households on the northeast bank of the Yellow River, and newly established Dongshengzhou, and Shengzhou was abolished.

Shengzhou during the Sui and Tang Dynasties was actually aborted land at this time, and neither Dangxiang nor Khitan occupied the governance, but was an isolation zone between the two sides. The Dangxiang tribe was nomadic there, but Yuan Hao was afraid of conflicts with the Khitan and did not directly manage it. Historically, the relationship between Khitan and Dangxiang broke down. Yelu Zongzhen personally fought twice because Yuan Hao included Shengzhou during the Tang Dynasty into his territory.

Xu Ping asked more than 100,000 Dangxiang troops to come, so he wanted to occupy this land and push the border with the Khitan to the Yellow River. This place was not a clear Khitan territory. Dangxiang had tribes here, and the Song Dynasty had Tanglong Town in this area, and the three forces were mixed. It was precisely because of this that Xu Ping regarded the Khitan army crossing the Yellow River as an invasion, and the entire army immediately launched a counterattack.

The Yellow River is not an extraordinary natural danger here. It is frozen in winter and it happens to be the season for nomadic tribes to fight. You can cross the river directly from the ice. Therefore, what Xu Ping hopes is to occupy Shengzhou at least, which is the place of Dongshengzhou and Yunneizhou in the Qin Dynasty. In this way, except for Fengzhou in the northeast corner, it completely occupies a large area of ​​plains south of Yinshan. Jiuyuan, Shuofang and Yunzhong counties all entered the Song Dynasty and restored the situation during the Qin and Han dynasties on the northern border.

In order to intercept Qu Lie, Xiao Puda and Zhang Fonu led the army with the four Jie Army as the main force. After passing Dongshengzhou, they directly crossed the river from Yulin County and rushed to the southwest through the Abolition of Shengzhou City. According to the usual habits, Xiao Puda did not think that he had entered the disputed territory at all. Not to mention that it was not clearly belonging to Dangxiang, or even the land of Dangxiang, there was nothing wrong with the Khitan pursuing the Despotics. The Khitan had always been in a strong position. After being used to doing this, Xiao Puda did not think there was anything wrong with it.

But this time it was different. The Khitans forgot that there were hundreds of thousands of troops on the other side of the Song Dynasty, and Xu Ping, the general of the army, also asked Yelu Zongzhen to hunt in Yinshan. Tang Longzhen rebelled against Song and returned to Khitan and still had a dispute. Xiao Puda crossed the Yellow River and went deep into the Dangxiang tribe, which was to clearly fight the Song army.

The nomadic tribe avoided early, nearly a hundred miles after crossing the Yellow River, Xiao Puda did not encounter a single figure. It was almost evening, Xiao Puda ordered to camp on the grassland and continue to pursue it tomorrow morning.

It was mid-July, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky. Xiao Puda stood outside the tent with his hands behind his back, worried. Yelu Zongzhen's reassurance of the people was in time, and Qu Lie only took away two people, and three of the original five departments were left. However, even if there were two departments, Xiao Puda could not bear it. If he could not catch up, he would not afford to be punished. The place between the grassland and desert was not valuable, but the real useful one was the population. Qu Lie took away the two tribes' tents, which was equivalent to a land of nearly a thousand miles becoming white. According to the population growth rate of nomadic people, it took him countless years to fill it.

Looking back at the endless tent under the moonlight, Xiao Puda sighed. This time, the more than 3,000 people from the Four Czech Army were mainly from the four Czech Army, and the six or seven thousand tribal soldiers and horses that he had finally gathered together, there were only 10,000 people. If all the soldiers were in the main army, they were sure of being the tribal soldiers, and they were not sure of winning against Qu Lie Xiao Puda. They could only use their past reputation to scare Qu Lie's troops and prevent them from fighting to death.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves like thunder came from the east, which quickly became clear. I couldn't see what it was under the moonlight, and it would also cause such momentum when I encountered a large group of wild horses in the depths of the grassland.

Xiao Puda frowned and listened with his ears. The voice was obviously coming towards his camping place, getting closer and closer. Not only was the thunder rolling, but the ground under his feet was shaking.

"No, an enemy is coming!" Xiao Puda turned around suddenly, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted at his personal guard.

The military camp boiled in almost a few breaths. The four Jet Army was organizing the troops, while the tribe army rode on horses, calling friends to attract their companions, and for a moment it was a mess. The nearby sounds overwhelmed the sound of horse hooves from the distance, which made Xiao Puda very angry.

The personal guards came, and Xiao Puda asked them to send orders to the troops to prepare for the fight. He also sent a scout to check the enemy situation, who was coming and how many people came. It is said that Qu Lie's troops are fleeing and do not take it back to fight.

In the busy work, the Four Jet Army came in detail and said, "I'm going to attack the camp in the west! We are caught off guard, so I'm afraid we can't resist the enemy!"

Turning back to look at the messy military camp, Xiao Puda frowned and said, "General, you bring your troops to meet first and block the enemy for a moment. The troops of the tribe are not gathered at all. If you stop the enemy, wait for them to get in line with their troops!"

Zhang Fonu responded with his hands and hurriedly went there. The Four-Jet Army was an old powerhouse of the Khitan. Since its establishment, he has participated in various wars many times. Those who are used to fighting are not as scattered as the tribe's soldiers.

In the night, Cheng Keshang took the lead in front of him, looking at the Khitan camp under the moonlight, without saying a word, and rushed over with his army. This time, Ye Li Wangrong led the army to the north line, along the Yellow River to attack Yulin County, and then crossed the river to attack Dongshengzhou, and then went up the Jin River to take Yunneizhou. Cheng Keshang led the army to take the southern line, take Hebin County, and then along the mountain road to attack Zhenwu County. It was divided into two routes, one south and one north, and threatened Fengzhou, which threatened the Khitan from the west.

The Khitan had only 5,000 imperial soldiers in this area, and the rest were tribal troops gathered at temporary points. Yeli Wangrong and Cheng Keshang attacked this time, to put it bluntly, they were going to clear the tribes on the grassland. Five thousand Khitan soldiers were the ones before the 100,000 army.

According to the reward before the war, one Khitan's head was equivalent to three tribal soldiers. Cheng Kesheng was lucky, and most of the Khitan troops were hit by him. After this battle, it was equivalent to sweeping several grassland tribes.

The strong attacked the weak, the masses attacked the weak, and the rewards were no longer arranged. The grassland was vast, and the whole army pressed forward. He brought five thousand elite troops from this tribe and rushed straight towards the center of the Khitan military camp ahead.

Zhang Fonu ordered the four armies. As soon as he left the barracks, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from all directions. He seemed to be a small boat in the stormy waves of the sea. He gritted his teeth and went to the place with the most dense sounds in the west. Less than a mile, he saw the Dangxiang army like a tide under the moonlight. It was unclear in the night, and only saw the boundless men, as if the entire world was filled with the world. His more than 3,000 soldiers and horses became inconspicuous little black dots in this army that came from the sky.

Taking a breath, Zhang Fonu hurriedly launched a formation and prepared to fight. He recognized Dangxiang's clothing and knew that it was not the Song army, but the Dangxiang army. In theory, Dangxiang had been destroyed, how could the Song army tolerate so many Dangxiang army? Aren't they afraid that they would occupy the territory and rebel against Song again?
