Two days later, on the west bank of the Laoha River, the two last leaders of the eight Khitan tribes, Da Hemoluo and Da He Dugu, started a fight.
After the battle lasted for three hours, reinforcements from the Shiwei people arrived from the north first, but they stayed ten miles away and had no intention of joining the battle.
Dugu thought that the Shiwei people planned to wait for the Turks to arrive before attacking together.
However, when the Turks arrived two hours later, he felt a chill on his back because the Turks also stopped ten miles away.
Du Gu is used to hiding behind when fighting, which is why he survived the first battle with Moro.
After more than five hours of fighting, his army gradually showed signs of collapse.
At this moment, a general from the front rushed over and reported to Duguhui: "Big leader, General Abangu said that he could no longer stand it. He asked how long it would take for reinforcements to arrive?"
A guard next to Dugu gritted his teeth and said: "The Turks and Shiwei people have arrived, but they are parked ten miles away and have no intention of helping us!"
Dugu turned around and gave the guard a whip, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, the Turks and Shiwei people are waiting for the Xi people to come."
He turned to the general and said, "Tell Abangu to hold on until the Xi people arrive and all three will come out together. Victory will be ours!"
The general left in doubt.
The sun sets in the west and the sky gradually becomes dark.
However, Moro had no intention of withdrawing his troops. Instead, his offensive became more and more fierce. Duugu's army had already suffered four or five thousand casualties. However, the news of the arrival of reinforcements continued to support Duugu's troops.
The army finally held on until it was completely dark.
Out of sight, no matter how fierce Moro was, he had to withdraw his troops temporarily. Moreover, the army and horses had been fighting for a whole day and needed to rest.
After Moro withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, he felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.
Although the Turks and Shiwei people did not join the battle, in order to deal with their sudden attack, some of the Moro troops were still allocated.
Ohamaro knew what their plan was, and planned to wait until he had dealt with Dugu before attacking him secretly.
Moro didn't take it to heart at first.
He originally thought that he could defeat the Dugu tribe during the day, and all the small tribes that had taken refuge in the Dugu would surrender to him, and then he would deal with the Shiwei and Turks.
However, Duogu was more tenacious than he thought and endured until the night.
"This cowardly old dog, Dahe Duogu, doesn't he understand that continuing to fight will only benefit his clan? Why are you still resisting, why don't you surrender to me!" Moro cut the case in half with one knife.
After all, he is a young man at heart. As the situation continues to change, his temper becomes more and more irritable and irritable. Even Brother Xiao Mo has to be careful when talking to him.
Brother Xiao Mo thought for a while and persuaded: "Big leader, we have won a great victory in today's battle and killed nearly ten thousand people in Dahe Duogu. Why not retreat for now? The behavior of the Turks and Shiwei people is too weird.
I suspect that Tang Jun is probably already on his way here."
Moro snorted coldly and said: "The Tang army has withdrawn to Goryeo. It will take at least three and a half days to rush to the rescue of Dugu Nagou. As soon as it gets dark tomorrow morning, we will attack immediately. Dugu's army will collapse soon."
Now, we can definitely deal with him before the Tang army arrives."
"But……"
"It's nothing to worry about. If we can't defeat Duogu this time, the Tang army will stay in the Khitan territory and help the old dog grow again. We Khitan people will never have peace!"
At this moment, the curtain was opened, and Yelu Rid and Yuan Chaan Qu Huo walked in together. Yelu Rid said in a deep voice: "Big Chief, we Khitan people can no longer kill each other."
Moro said angrily: "Do you think I am willing to do this? The old dog Dugu refuses to surrender to me. What else can I do except defeat him?"
Qu Huohong, who was driving in the distance, said: "It is better to send an envoy to persuade Du Gu to surrender."
"It would be best if we could persuade him to surrender."
Qu Huo said loudly: "In this case, I would like to go to the Dugu camp in person to persuade this person, and also ask the chief to make a promise to my subordinates."
"What promise?"
"After Du Gu surrenders, he is not allowed to be killed, and he is allowed to continue to serve as the leader of the Independent Life Department."
Moro agreed: "No problem, no matter how stupid that old dog is, he is still a Khitan. As long as he doesn't go against me, I won't care about him."
Qu Huo performed a Khitan ritual and withdrew with Yelvrid.
Moruo and Brother Xiao Mo had been waiting in the camp. More than an hour later, Yuan Chaan Qu Huo came back and came to the camp with Yelu Rid.
"Looking at your expression, it seems that you have failed to persuade me to surrender!" Moro glared.
Qu Huo's face was extremely pale. He took a deep breath and said word by word: "Big leader, we have fallen into the trap of the Tang people. They are on their way here. The Turks, Shiwei people and Xi people are all here under the orders of the Tang people.
We must withdraw our troops overnight!"
Moro was shocked and said in panic: "What is going on? Could you explain it more clearly?"
Qu Huo then told the entire Tang army's plan to lure Moro to attack. After hearing this, Moro's face turned pale as paper and loudly said: "Send the order, the whole army..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped.
Yuan Chaan Qu Huo said anxiously: "Big Chief, what's wrong with you? Please give the order to withdraw quickly, otherwise things will change if you wait too long!"
Ohamaro sneered: "That's not right!"
…
About a hundred miles away from the Laoha River, the Tang army's cavalry was running in the night.
This was Wu Chengsi's first time to engage in such a high-intensity rapid march. His body was just like the first time he came to the Tang Dynasty while riding a horse, and it seemed that he was about to fall apart.
At this point, he could only grit his teeth and persist. People's potential is often forced out under such circumstances. In just three hours, he would be able to reach the Lao Ha River battlefield.
Compared with him, the others in Hei Te Chang were much more relaxed.
Hei Te Changzhi clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs, folded his arms and said: "General, do you think that boy Dahe Dugu will reveal our plan to Moro when he can't resist it?"
Wu You said: "Then the old boy is more anxious to destroy the Great Hemoluo than we are. There is no reason to do this, right?"
"Maybe if Duogu finds out that the reinforcements are not taking action, he will definitely have doubts and then doubt our plan."
"So what, after the battle has reached this point, there is no point in doubting him." Wu Youji said disapprovingly.
Hei Te Changzhi rubbed his nose with his fingers and said: "As long as he reveals his plan to the Great Hemolo, the Great Hemolo will inevitably withdraw his troops. Won't he be saved? With our protection, he can regain his strength.
This is the best choice for him."
Wu Youji was slightly startled and said, "Will Oyamaro really retreat?"
Russell said coldly: "It is very possible that no matter how arrogant Moro is, he is not a fool after all."
"No, Da Hemoluo will not retreat." Wu Chengsi said in a hoarse voice.
"Why?" Russell asked quickly.
Wu Chengsi lowered his body and explained: "Because the development of the situation is different from our plan."
Han Cheng kept an eye on Wu Chengsi, fearing that he would fall off his horse. Seeing him lowering his body, he knew that he must be feeling very uncomfortable. He moved closer to him so that he could support him at any time.
Wu Youji's eyebrows jumped and he said: "Yes, according to the original plan, the Turks, Shiwei and Xi people will all take action to rescue Duogu. As long as Da Hemoluo finds out that they have not taken action, he will become suspicious!"
"Another point is that if this is really our plan to lure the enemy, Du Gu will not tell Moro the plan at all. The more Du Gu shows weakness, the more Moro feels that he has been defeated, and he will not believe Du Gu's words at all."
Chengsi said again.
Hei Te Changzhi laughed and said: "It turns out that the general has already thought about it. It seems that I am overthinking it. In other words, by the time we arrive, Dahe Dugu's independent living department will probably be finished."
Wu Chengsi glanced at him and saw that he was not only riding with his hands down, but also standing upright. He said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
