Seeing that he could not resist, Li Shouming began to organize the troops around him to retreat, preparing to return to Daizhou City to garrison in order to block Xiaoguo's army and avenge today's encounter in the future.
Li Shouming's withdrawal caused the Daizhou City defenders, who were already on the verge of collapse, to completely lose their will to resist. It was like a flood that burst the embankments, causing a large area to collapse. It just so happened that the terrain under the foot of the mountain was long and narrow, with the plain as the base.
Lord, it was perfect for the cavalry to pursue. No matter how fast two legs could run, they could not outrun four legs. Suddenly the situation turned into a one-sided massacre.
Although Li Shouming tried his best to organize the evacuation of nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command, the impact and raid of 15,000 Xiaoguo troops, especially 5,000 cavalry, made it impossible for Li Shouming to evacuate with his army.
In the end, Li Shouming only led five hundred cavalry
To evacuate, these cavalrymen, in addition to Li Shouming's own bodyguards, are some officers and officers' bodyguards. As for those large armies, they are all infantry and have been trapped by the Xiaoguo army and cannot escape. Not only that, but also
There are still a thousand cavalry behind him in pursuit.
Li Shouming and others hurried back to Daizhou City in the dim dusk. When they arrived in front of the city, Li Shouming's personal guards immediately shouted to the soldiers on the city: "Open the city gate quickly and let us in."
."
There was silence above the city. Just when Zu Li Shouming and others were impatient, thousands of archers appeared from the city wall with a clatter of gold, and the banner of the Bingzhou Northern Army on the top of the city was also replaced by that of the Xiaoguo Army.
Flame Qilin Flag. Xiaoguo Army Officer
Standing on the city gate, he laughed loudly and said: "Li Shouming, Daizhou City has been captured by my Xiaoguo Army. Not only that, the entire Daizhou Prefecture has fallen into the hands of my Xiaoguo Army. Today, you either
Surrender or die here."
After hearing that the entire territory of Daizhou Prefecture had fallen, Li Shouming was shocked and almost couldn't believe it. But because he could not escape at this moment, he asked the Xiaoguo Army on the city for the truth. After hearing that the Xiaoguo Army really defeated the Turks
After the army had entered Daizhou Prefecture, Li Shouming finally surrendered. After all, instead of thinking about himself, he also had to think about the guards around him and their families.
After Li Shouming surrendered, Ningshan City was also captured with Li Shouming's cooperation. The Xiaoguo Army obtained tens of thousands of dan of grain and some armor and equipment in one fell swoop. The fall of Daizhou City also declared the official end of the Xiaoguo Army.
The Battle of Daizhoufu, and Daizhoufu also changed its owner.
The capture of Daizhou Mansion does not mean that the Xiaoguo Army is satisfied, nor does it mean that Li Chenfeng will stop. After taking Daizhou Mansion, the more than 200,000 people who were rescued have obtained
The temporary resettlement, and the accompanying young guards and civil service system, will soon rule in Daizhou Prefecture. As for those captured Turks, under the implementation of the joint sitting system, they will become Daizhou Prefecture.
Free labor. What awaits them is the beginning of slavery.
…………
China's policy towards nomads throughout the dynasties has been a pattern. Fight when they are strong, and defend when they are weak. Even mutual trade has strict restrictions on nomads, and they have never thought about how to assimilate these nomads.
famous clan, and
The original plan was to use these nomads to help protect the vast territory. It boasted that the Celestial Empire was a great power, and even trade was done with the grace of a great power. The disdain for these barbarians caused this splendid civilization in the East to lose too many opportunities.
.
Nomads plunder the Central Plains just because they want to survive, need food, and various necessities of life. When they can't get these, their only resort is to plunder. When plundering becomes a habit, a habit will be formed and resolved.
The crisis of the grassland peoples will never be completely eliminated. History
In history, the powerful Han Dynasty drove away the Huns, but not many years later, other nomadic tribes emerged on the grassland. What Zhao Xun wanted to do was to gradually suppress these powerful tribes and bring them to the throne.
Break it down, then win over some parts and suppress the other parts that don't listen to orders.
The most important thing is that Zhao Xun wants to gradually begin to assimilate these tribes. In the land of water and grass, which is suitable for building cities, he will build cities and bring the grasslands step by step under his chessboard-like rule. Dingzhou, the original Khitan grassland. Although
It's a grassland land
, but close to Youzhou, under the division of cities, Wubao and official roads, these grasslands have become small areas separated by cities, Wubao and official roads. So even if the Khitan people are grazing,
It will not break away from the jurisdiction of Xiaoguo Army.
In addition, a large number of Han people will move in and turn some places suitable for farming into farmland. They will also restrict the Khitan people's force, give them Chinese books, Chinese names, learn Chinese characters, and learn Chinese culture, and then gradually transform them into
became Han Chinese.
The north is an endless prairie, the west is Yudujin Mountain, and the east is the lower reaches of the Hun River. Here is where the Turkic Royal Court is. This grassland, thousands of miles away in the north of Bingzhou, relies on the melted snow on Yudujin Mountain
of rivers and
The Hun River Basin is a water source of life. Because of this, there are many small rivers and fertile grasslands. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there are many large and small grassland tribes living. But they are all the tribal forces of Xue Nie Khan, or they are dependent on Xue Nie Khan.
Pinch Khan's little tribe.
Zhao Xun gathered the Eight Banners of Khitan, the Eight Banners of Mohe, and the Mohe cavalry with a total of 100,000 cavalry as personal guards. First, he gradually entered the Shiwei tribe through the road, and together with the 20,000 Shiwei cavalry of the Shiwei tribe, formed a huge coalition army, roaring
Heading westward. Led by guides who were familiar with the route, more than 100,000 iron cavalry divided into four groups, no more than fifty miles apart, and entered the Turkic steppe like four arrows.
Because the snowstorm last year caused great losses to the Turkic tribes, under the organization of Xue Nie Khan, many tribes on the grassland sent cavalry to form a coalition to go south to merge the states and enter the Han territory to plunder. In addition to the southern road, that is,
In addition to intercepting and killing people slightly north of Bingzhou, Zhao Xun also personally prepared to kill
A lesson for the Turks. The purpose of Zhao Xun's trip is very simple. It is to completely disintegrate the Xue Nie Khan tribe, which has the ability to call on the Turkic grasslands, and let each tribe do its own thing. Then, the Xiaoguo Army can win over one group and suppress a group of people.
.Finally, conquer the nomads on the grassland and make them surrender under your feet.
Because of the cold weather in the north, the winter snow melts slowly. Coupled with last year's snow disaster, all the grassland tribes suffered heavy losses and were miserable. In addition to some tribes responding to Xue Nie Khan, they led their troops south to rob the territory of the Han people in Bingzhou.
There are many tribes
During this period, the conquest also began. It was also because of this that it was much easier for Zhao Xun's coalition forces to enter the Turkic grasslands. In addition to using the banner of the Turkic tribes from the beginning, their actions were also due to the melee between various tribes.
, not subject to detailed investigation by various ministries.
Although some tribes have doubts about this, after all, each of the four armies has more than 30,000 people, which is not a small number. On the grassland after the snow disaster, it also requires large tribes. And these large tribes
, most of them responded to the Khan's edict and never plundered the territory of the southern Han people before. However, although these tribes were suspicious, they never thought that this was a Han army, a Xiaoguo army.
Therefore, these unsuspecting tribes were surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry when a large number of Xiaoguo Army cavalry arrived. After a shower of arrows, these tribes with a population of less than a thousand people were bloodbathed, and finally basically
No one can survive.
At the same time that Li Chenfeng took Daizhou Prefecture, Zhao Xun also arrived at the land of the King's Court of Xue Nie. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is extremely advantageous. The rivers from the north and the snowy mountains in the northwest wind and crisscross, like
Silver-white streamers are scattered on the green scroll. The abundant water source allows the cattle and sheep to flock in herds, and the horses gallop. On the endless green grassland, countless Turks are grazing everywhere...
"The environment is good, a good place, but it's a pity..." Riding on a war horse, standing on a mountain, looking at the endless green grassland in front of his field of vision, the joyful livestock on the grassland, and the white yurt among the green, Zhao Xun
Couldn't help but sigh.
Needless to say, others also knew what Zhao Xun meant. The scenery in front of him was beautiful and the place was very peaceful. However, the two sides were sworn enemies. The Turks entered Bingzhou and plundered them. Although Zhao Xun sent four
The town army intercepted the Turkic army, and even later made preparations for Youzhou to take advantage of the victory and invade Bingzhou. However, he did not intend to stop there.
The Turks are mainly tribes. Unlike the Mohe people, the Mohe people are semi-farming and semi-nomadic, and have begun to establish a stable centralized rule. The Turks are still mainly tribes, and they need to migrate at any time due to the external environment. Of course, if the king
The Tingwangting tribe is powerful, so it naturally has great control over the various tribes. But no matter what, Zhao Xun hopes to sweep away the lair of the Turkic Khan.
As long as this area is cleared, the Turks who are still in Bingzhou will not stay in the north of Bingzhou no matter what. Even if the southern army does not win a great victory, the Turks will still hurriedly withdraw from Bingzhou. Even
, the Turks would abandon the plunder from Bingzhou and fight back as quickly as possible.
In this royal court, there are only 20,000 royal tent troops of Xue Nie Khan as guards, and the rest are ordinary herdsmen. Moreover, because they went south to plunder the land of Bingzhou, most of the herdsmen left behind are old, weak, women and children. This,
This is also the intelligence obtained by the Xiaoguo Army through capturing herders.
"All ministries have a rest tonight and will launch operations at dawn. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy. Anyone who is a man will be killed without mercy!" Zhao Xun said coldly after looking at the slightly dim sky.
Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and one night passes like this. The sky gradually becomes brighter, and a new day is coming. There are still shadows outside the field of vision. At this moment, the entire grassland is silent.
"Action!" Zhao Xun waved his hand fiercely on the mountain. In an instant, several command flags began to wave. Under the dim light, the red command flags still clearly conveyed the general's order.
Suddenly, the ground seemed to be shaking. On the other side of the hillside, a few lone wild sheep that were foraging for food early in the morning raised their heads. They looked at the direction on the back of the hillside in horror. After a while, they
The four hooves flew up and fled away like lightning. Immediately, the black-armored cavalry that looked like an ink line on the hillside came roaring like a tsunami, and the armor on the horse cavalry turned dark black.
, like the Nine Nether Hell, the gold was as cold as ice, and there was no trace of reflective gold on the armor, giving off a chilling coldness. Immediately, in the other three directions not far away, a black line appeared respectively. This was also
Cavalry. One of the cavalry is also wearing black armor, but their armor is different from the other three. In addition, they also wear a red cloak behind them, and their helmets are also red.
The Eight Banners of Mohe, the Cavalry of Mohe and the Eight Banners of Khitan all have black armor, but these three are all leather armor. The armor of the Guards Cavalry is stamped armor forged by a hydraulic forging press. This stamped armor has more
It has good frontal attack resistance and is very thin and light. Moreover, these armors are mixed with some other metals, so they appear dark black and have non-refractive properties.
The Guards, that is, the expansion of the Guards Battalion. In addition to a cavalry armor, each cavalry also wears a suit of silk underwear. It can be said that it greatly enhances the survivability on the battlefield. In addition to the cavalry equipment,
Key parts of the armored golden war horse are also equipped with stamped armor to enhance the war horse's ability to withstand strikes.
"Boom, boom, boom..." It was like thunder and lightning rolling across the sky, making a deafening roar, and the whole earth began to tremble. The four armies were like four sharp arrows, killing towards the Turkic Royal Court in front...
In the land of the Royal Court, there are also simple forts and towns, but they cannot stop the attack of the army. The charge of more than 100,000 cavalry instantly caused the entire Royal Court to be in commotion. The whimpering horns of horns sounded one after another, and some cavalry also began to appear on the grassland.
After finding out the situation, he screamed miserably...
The whole earth was trembling. One hundred thousand cavalry roared and attacked the center of the royal court from several directions at the same time. In front of the one hundred thousand cavalry were only 20,000 royal tent troops and those who had gathered in panic.
Nearly 10,000 Turkic knights. Not to mention that these royal troops are not ready for battle, but most of these nearly 10,000 knights are underage children.
Xue Nie Khan's subordinates did not expect anyone to attack here at all. Although the Turks have a tribal system, after all, Xue Nie Khan is the leader of the community, has a righteous name, and is also the most powerful tribe. Therefore, the surrounding people
The tribe did not dare to provoke them at all. As for the Han people, it would be good if they were not attacked. Therefore, during this operation, the people of the royal court in these dozens of miles did not have the slightest defense. Even the royal army was not at all prepared.
in this way.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the royal army of Xue Nie Khan's tribe, Zhao Xun is not afraid of it. Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the weapons of both sides. Compared with the other side, Xiaoguo Army is as different as heaven and earth, cloud and mud.
.Mohe cavalry, Turkic cavalry, and Shiwei cavalry all wore Xiao
The fruit army provided exquisite leather armor, wearing a horizontal sword, a long bow, three bags of arrows, a round shield, and a spear. The weapons of the Turkic soldiers were far inferior to those of the Xiaoguo army, except for the homemade
In addition to the long bow, there are leather armors made of animal skins and some crude scimitars.
Inches longer and stronger, coupled with exquisitely crafted weapons and powerful armor, the Xiaoguo Army is naturally not afraid of these Turkic cavalry. Whether it is the Khitan cavalry or the Mohe cavalry, they are now trained according to the training methods of the Xiaoguo Army.
Well, speaking of it, coupled with some of their own advantages and fighting immediately, they have an advantage over the Xiaoguo Army's cavalry.
Although Zhao Xun had some understanding when he set out, as long as he could get close to the opponent's court, it would not be difficult to strangle the opponent's court. However, he did not expect it to be so easy. Seeing this situation, Zhao Xun was not ambiguous and directly
The commander-in-chief's army rushed to kill him. The situation at hand could be said to be one of relying on the strong to bully the weak, and there was almost no suspense in the battle.
Although the 20,000 king's army and 10,000 Turkic knights fought to the death, in the face of absolute power, all resistance was in vain. Although many ordinary Turks also joined the battle, the huge disparity in strength made it possible to only use
After more than an hour, this beautiful, peaceful and peaceful place of the Royal Court was filled with corpses.
The Xue Nie tribe headquarters, which had lost its last force, was like a young girl whose last layer of clothing had been torn away, naked and exposed in front of a group of rude men. Soon, these cavalry began to carry out Zhao Xun's military orders, and all men
, all were beheaded. All war horses and livestock were taken away, and those that could not be taken away were burned on the spot.
The Xue Nie tribe has more than 800,000 people. Of course, the dozens of miles under the jurisdiction of the royal court will not be the place where all the tribesmen live. However, there are still more than 200,000 Xue Nie tribe herdsmen here. In this battle,
Basically, everything fell into the hands of the Xiaoguo Army.
This battle, which was won with absolute superiority, has no merit whatsoever, but it has extraordinary significance for the entire eastern Turkic tribe.
Zhao Xun raided the battle of Xue Nie's tribe, which broke Xue Nie Khan's plan to plunder the land of Bingzhou, forcing him to return aid as soon as possible. Even after learning that the Xiaoguo army in Bingzhou had annihilated more than 100,000 of his coalition troops
people, even if they know
The Xiaoguo Army in Bingzhou took away half of the property he had worked so hard to obtain in a month, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and ran back in despair. Because what he is more afraid of now is that the other party will come to him.
trouble.
In addition to the difficulty faced by the Bingzhou Turks in suppressing the situation, this raid also means that the Eastern Turks, who had gradually begun to dominate the various tribes due to the strength of the Xuene tribe, once again fell into a struggle for power among various tribes. Because of the Xiaoguo Army
Because of their strong strength, these tribes did not dare to go south easily to provoke the Han people. Then, the tribes were direct, and naturally there would be constant disputes. Just like the Han people's territory, the grassland tribes also often fought with each other.
This gave the Xiaoguo Army a very valuable opportunity for development. In the south, where Bingzhou was located, the retreat of the Turks allowed the Xiaoguo Army to better devote its energy to Bingzhou. In the north, Xiaoguo Army
The army also began to win over some tribes, suppress others, and gradually incorporate these tribes into its ranks. Of course, the latter part is what will be done in the future...
