Chapter 48 The Battle of Guizhou (4)

Since Shangguan Qingcheng led his troops into the grassland and attacked the army's grain raising team, Yelu Xienechi has been facing an increasingly unfavorable situation. But he never gave up, but tried his best to try to stabilize the situation and save the danger.

Even when the heart of the heart was destroyed and he was bound to die, Yelu Xie Niechi did not complain about himself. Instead, he overcomes many psychological obstacles with great perseverance and responsibility, and presides over the overall military situation with a high spirit of excitement.

When the Tiger Guards attacked the camp, even if the defense line was complete, he personally fought to boost the morale of the entire army.

For the war situation in Guizhou and for the Khitan war, Yelu Xie Niechi can be said to have put life, death, honor and disgrace aside, and worked hard and thoughtfully.

It is precisely because of his hard work that even when facing the attacks of the Tiger Guards and Shangguan Qingcheng, he was confident that the camp could hold on for two days. When reinforcements arrived, the situation would be different immediately.

But these efforts, seeing the victory in sight, turned into a dream bubble because of the unscrupulous retreat of the grassland tribe army.

It would be fine if the army was defeated and the tribal troops evacuated, but the central army camp was still as solid as a rock. Even the Tang army could not touch the wall, so they collapsed first, causing the battle situation that could have been persisted to collapse instantly. It is conceivable how deep the grief and anger in Yelu Xie Niechi's heart was.

A mob is a mob.

You can fight with the wind and be as brave as a tiger. You can fight with great momentum and make the enemy unable to raise your head. But once the battle is unfavorable, you will only lose your own position and even escape by looking at the wind.

When Yelu Xie Niechi woke up, the summer noon sun made him unable to open his eyes, and turned his head, and finally saw the scene in front of him clearly.

He was no longer in the camp, but went to a mountain in the Jundu Mountains thirty or forty miles east of the camp, near Juyongguan.

He realized that after he vomited blood and fainted in the camp, he was taken out of the camp by the great monk in time.

But he did not feel lucky, but his heart trembled as if he had lost his parents. He struggled to stand up, pushed away the person who was supporting him left and right, took two steps, opened his eyes wide and looked at Huairong Camp, breathing heavily like a bull.

The strict military camp was already full of devastation. Apart from the western camp that had almost turned into ruins, the northern camp and the central camp were also filled with smoke, felt tents were dumped, the village walls were collapsed, and all kinds of supplies and debris were burning. The entire village, which was twenty or thirty miles in the camp, can no longer see the Khitan soldiers still fighting.

The Khitan soldiers in the camp were corpses everywhere, blood was floating on the ground. Even if they were thirty or forty miles, the smell of blood seemed so strong that it made people breathless. Teams of Tang army cavalry were running back and forth, sorting out the order in the camp. The injured and residual Khitan soldiers either fell to the ground and wailed or became large-scale prisoners of the Tang army.

More Khitan warriors were fleeing eastward outside the camp. Most of them were warriors from the Eight Khitan tribes. The Tang soldiers behind them were chasing each other. In order to increase the speed of pursuit, they had basically lost their formation, and they were like crazy killing.

Yelu Xie Niechi felt heartache as if he was stormed by a knife, and closed his eyes in pain.

Although his eyes were closed, two lines of blood and tears were flowing down the corners of his eyes.

He heard the shouts of Tang Jun.

While chasing, the Tang army shouted: "Don't kill those who are not surrendered by the eight Khitan soldiers!"

This means that if the grassland tribe army put down its weapons, it can save its lives; it also means that the soldiers of the eight Khitan tribes have no way to live, and even if they surrender, they cannot survive. The Tang army has already decided to kill them!

Now that things have come, how can Yelu Xie Niechi not be able to react? The Tang army is dividing the grassland.

To be precise, it is the division of the Khitan and other grassland tribes.

Yelu Xie Niechi even thought that those grassland tribal troops that retreated without authorization were probably bewitched by the Tang army, which would retreat at a critical moment, resulting in a complete frustration of the war.

Yelu Abaoji ordered him to thoroughly investigate the Quanzhen Temple in the military camp. When the believers of Wukong Shimen were convinced, he did not gain anything, and he thought that there were no such people in the camp. Even if there were, they would not be a climate, and they had never joined forces.

Now that I think about it, I am too wrong.

Yelu Xie Nichi was filled with regret.

"General, let's go. If you don't leave, the great monks of the Tang army will chase him!" A high-level monk in the Khitan God Envoy realm persuaded him urgently.

Yelu Xie Niechi did not answer.

His heart was ashamed and he no longer wanted to speak.

He opened his eyes and looked at the warriors of the eight Khitan divisions who were trapped in hell, tears and blood kept sliding from the corners of his eyes.

Those young and strong men who shouted and cried and fled on the wasteland were all warriors of the eight Khitan tribes. They had once stepped on the grassland and were invincible, conquered one tribe after another, and stepped on the chiefs after another.

After fighting again and again, they became stronger and stronger, and more arrogant. They enjoyed the supreme glory, so they had a rare sense of mission and responsibility on the grassland, and had a precious national consciousness of sacrificing themselves for the Khitan Kingdom, rather than just grazing cattle and sheep.

They may not be the most elite warrior in the world, but absolutely every one is precious.

And now, they are trampled like weeds and slaughtered like lambs. How cruel it is, how sad it is to them. It is so sad and lamentable.

And all of this, after all, was caused by him, Yelu Xie Niechi, a general in the heart of his heart, and the most brave and good warrior on the grassland.

He was ashamed of Yelu Abaoji, ashamed of the Khitan Kingdom, ashamed of the grassland!

He was surrounded by self-blame, guilt and regret.

"General, go quickly, it will be too late!" The high-level cultivator of the Divine Envoy Realm began to persuade again. He wanted to force Yelu Xie Niechi away, but the other party's cultivation was not weaker than him, and it was like he had roots under his feet, and he didn't move, which made him impatient.

After a while, Yelu Xie Nichi faced the Shura Purgatory of the Khitan warrior and sighed to the sky.

Because there were too many blood and tears, his vision was already blurred and scarlet.

He said, "Report to me, I, Yelu Xie Niechi, is a sinner of the Khitan. I have failed the king's trust and are not worthy of living in this world. Even if I die, I am not worthy of being remembered by the Khitans. I ask the king to cast my body into an iron man, and kneel in front of Xilou City for eternity, for a hundred years, thousands of years, and be despised by the Khitans!"

After saying this, Yelu Xie Niechi pulled out his waist and stepped on his throat in front of his throat. With a loud bang, his head flew high with a sound of puff, and blood gushed over his neck.

One of the most praised and reputable generals of the Khitan Kingdom, he returned to the grassland in this way.

Li Ye's Eye of Emperor Dao saw this scene from afar.

Li Ye didn't feel much trouble about Yelu Xie Nichi's death.

Under the general trend, emperors will die in the next few years, let alone a general?

In the past, Li Keyong and Gao Pian, who were reluctant to fight against his military force, had already turned into earth because they could not resist his military force.

So Li Ye didn't have more feelings.

However, Shangguan Qingcheng, after learning that Yelu Xie Niechi committed suicide, was silent for a moment and said slowly: "If the heart of the heart is destroyed, it is because the Tang Dynasty is too strong, then in the end he was defeated because his companions are too unbearable."

This sentence gave Yelu Xie Nichi's defeat of Huairong, and gave a final conclusion.

It is also the most appropriate evaluation.

Not to mention the Khitan monks, they took Yelu Xie Niechi's body and rushed to Yelu Abaoji to report to Yelu Abaoji. And after the Tang army broke through the Khitan camp of Huairong, they had a prominent victory after half a day of pursuit. After the troops were withdrawn at dusk, they checked the battle situation and the statistics obtained made the entire army excited.

In this battle, the Tang army dispatched a total of 120,000 people, including more than 10,000 people from Huairong Border Army and Shangguan Qingcheng's troops. The eight Khitan soldiers who were killed and captured - were killed later - exceeded 100,000.

After the demise of the True Heart Division, the grassland tribal army accounted for half of the Huairong Khitan camp. In addition to a small number of casualties, they all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. To be fair, the grassland tribal army was not weak, and together they exceeded 100,000 troops.

It’s a pity that they are a mess, with little success and no failure.

In this battle, Zhang Chang'an successfully bewitched the grassland tribe army and evacuated the battlefield at a critical moment. He played an immeasurable role in the great victory and rapid end of the war. Therefore, he made outstanding achievements. Their two became famous in one battle. Afterwards, their deeds were widely praised and worshipped by countless Tang soldiers and Tang people.

During the melee, Gesang was only scratched, and his life was saved without any serious damage.

After that, the army did not stop moving. After controlling the battlefield, after resting for a long time, they were divided into two parts in the morning of the next day. The partial army went to block Yelu Abaoji's reinforcements, and the main force went straight to Juyong Pass without stopping.

The reinforcements sent by Yelu Abaoji were very powerful. All 100,000 soldiers were composed of soldiers from the eight divisions of the Khitan, which was definitely a way to change the situation of the war. However, Yelu Xie Niechi was defeated and they lost their support target. What to do next is still necessary to repay Yelu Abaoji.

In order to prevent them from rushing to Juyongguan, Li Ye then sent a group of elite cavalry to monitor and harass them.

According to Li Ye's prior plan, when the Tiger Guards in Huairong City launched a fierce attack on Yelu Xie Niechi's troops, the Tang army on the front line of Juyong Pass also launched an offensive against the Khitan army outside Juyong Pass. Even if they could not achieve victory, they would hold them back and exhaust them.

In this way, when the Tang army from Huairong rushed over, the battle situation could be decided smoothly.

The Langya Army was outside Huairong City, and because of the personal resistance of Yelu Xie Niechi, they experienced a fierce battle. However, because the war ended quickly, there was no major loss. In addition, Shangguan Qingcheng asked for his order, Li Ye regarded them as the vanguard and took the Tiger Guard to the battlefield of Juyongguan.

In Juyongguan, after the Tang army guarding the pass, they fought with the Khitan soldiers for three days and three nights. Because there were no particularly elite troops in the Khitan camp and no mission at Yelu Xie Niechi at the level of the position, the Tang army fought smoothly and successfully broke into the camp.

However, the army of the eight Khitan troops was very tenacious in combat. In addition, there was no internal turmoil in the camp. Although many camps were lost, they were still fighting with the Tang army. For a moment, they also had the momentum to stick to the arrival of reinforcements.

Unfortunately, the one that appeared on the fourth day was not the Khitan reinforcements, but the Wolf-Tooth Army.
