Chapter 52 Uighur Army (VI)

Guo Jiong and Liu Heigou protected Hou Dayong and killed the Uighur riders who rushed to Hou Dayong to death. After a bloody battle, they separated Hou Dayong and the Uighur cavalry.

Guo Jiong shouted to Liu Heigou: "Look at the Jiedushi. The Jiedushi will have to lose one hair. I will never finish it with you."

Liu Heigou was red in his eyes and shouted at his personal guards: "Around the Jiedushi."

Three of the fifty personal guards have been killed in battle. The remaining personal guards have protected Hou Dayong tightly. Instead of fighting with the Uighur soldiers, the personal guards have formed a round formation and strictly guarded the governor. The soldiers on the outer layer hold swords and shields, and the ten archers on the inner layer calmly bent their bows and arrows under the cover of the outer layer sergeants, and the Uighur riders are calmly bent their bows and arrows, and kill the Uighur riders.

Hou Dayong was killing happily, surrounded by his personal guards, and he could only curse in disappointment: "Work alone, who is my opponent, and you still need to protect him." Although Hou Dayong was cursing, his heart was really warm. He did not do anything to make everyone embarrassed again. The personal guard had isolated him from the Uighur cavalry, so Hou Dayong had no choice but to put down the wave sword and take off the longbow.

Hou Dayong was also very good at archery skills. After he came to ancient times, he practiced archery skills in the Sumo Marine tribe. Although he became bigger and bigger, he never stopped practicing every day. His archery skills reached the first-class level in the Black Eagle Army, but were slightly better than the ten magic archers who were selected thousands of times. Hou Dayong saw a Uighur rider who killed two Black Eagle Army riders in a row, so he aimed at the man's back. He could only hear the sound of the bowstrings, and the eagle-feathered arrows were accurately staring at the rider's back.

The ten archers were not willing to fall behind, and each used their unique skills to shoot the Uighur rider who rushed in front of them and knocked them over.

On the battlefield, there were bloody, extremely fierce and desperate fights, the "crack" sound of cutting bones, the "pu" sound of long swords slashing into the body. Various roars in anger, the screams of soldiers before they die, the groan of pain that cannot be killed, and the smirks of war horses sounded on the battlefield.

The Modao team, who was in battle for the first time, showed its powerful power. The two Modao teams each had 300 men, and the Uighur army was inserted from both sides, and the power was unstoppable. Finally, the two Modao teams cleanly divided the Uighur army into three.

The Uighurs charged several times, like waves hitting a huge rock, with waves surging, but they were forced to retreat. The Uighur rider faced the cold light Mo Dao, and his eyes showed such fear.

After the Uighur army failed to break through the encirclement, the Uighur army's system was gradually disrupted. The Hei Diao Army, Fuhu Army and Hei Jiao Army each surrounded a group of Uighur army.

The Uighur soldiers were extremely brave. Under such circumstances, no one escaped. Some riders who rushed out of the encirclement with their horse speed and sharp swordsman saw that the coach had not come out and rushed back. Despite this, the Uighur army was still in full passiveness.

Jiang Hui was a famous general of the Shu army. He led the infantry and fought very well. The Thousand Volcanic Tiger Army was never chasing the Uighur cavalry, and he also surrounded a large number of Uighur soldiers in the battle circle.

When Jiang Hui was a general of the Shu army, he led the Shu army to fight with the Uighur army many times. In each battle, although the number of Shu soldiers was far greater than that of the Uighur army, the Uighur cavalry came and went like the wind on the battlefield and always had the upper hand. The Shu army was still scared when they mentioned fighting with the Uighur army. This time, when fighting with the Uighur army, tens of thousands of Uighur army were beaten by 5,000 troops on the bank of the Wei River, Jiang Hui felt powerless.

The Uighur army in the encirclement raised a huge lion flag. Jiang Hui knew that there must be a big fish inside, and he was full of murderous aura and kept ordering the infantry to tighten the encirclement.

Behind Tu Shaodu was a huge lion flag, which was the Lanzhou Uighur army flag. After the Uighur army was disrupted by the Zhou army, there were only more than 100 personal guards around him, but these personal guards were the elite among the elite Uighurs, who protected the lion flag and did not fall. The lion flag did not fall. The spirit of the Uighur riders did not break. The Uighur riders everywhere rushed towards the lion flag and slowly. Six or seven hundred riders gathered under the banner. They drove the Zhou army that was attacking around and formed a battle formation again.

The Fuhu Army attacked many times, but they were all beaten out, but the severely damaged Uighur cavalry were unable to break through the Zhou army's encirclement, and the two armies were in a stalemate.

The battlefield situation was actually one-sided, and the Uighur cavalry was out of power. The Black Eagle Army first eliminated the Uighur cavalry in the encirclement, and then the Black Eagle Army helped the Black Dragon Army to suppress the Uighur cavalry in the encirclement.

The Black Eagle Army, the Black Jiao Army and the Fuhu Army surrounded the remaining troops of Tu Shaodu.

After Hou Dayong decided to cross the river and fight the decisive battle, all the Chinese civilian personnel of Qian Xiangnan and Han Qi moved to the mountains behind the Wei River. Qian Xiangnan and Han Qi climbed up a steep mountain peak, and they could see the Wei River battlefield. Looking down from the mountain, the soldiers were as big as ants, but the formation of the two armies could be seen clearly. Since the Black Eagle Army, Black Dragon Army and Fuhu Army launched the charge, Qian Xiangnan had never blinked. He did not feel the cold wind at all, and his vest was wet with sweat. After Han Qi saw the three armies rushing to the river bank, he no longer had the courage to look on and sat on the peak.

Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Hou Dayong ordered the attack to temporarily stop.

The order to suspend the attack sounded in front of the central army tent, and the Fuhu Army, who was rushing in front, slowly retreated back. The exhausted Uighur army got a chance to breathe, but was unable to take the initiative to launch an attack.

Seeing that the Uighur army fell into such a situation, he vomited a little blood and the Zhou army retreated automatically, he thought, "Why did the Zhou army retreat? Is the Zhou army going to surrender to me?"

Tu Shaodu was probably right. Hou Dayong wanted to surrender to him. After Qian Xiangnan was ordered to form an intelligence agency, he specially selected a group of soldiers who knew Tubo and Uighur languages, and were ready to be dispatched at any time. This time, the Uighur army attacked Qinzhou, and Hou Dayong brought these soldiers who knew Uighur languages ​​to his side.

After the Fuhu Army and the Uighur Army broke off contact, the surrendered soldiers sent by Hou Dayong rode a black horse to the Uighur formation and said in the Uighur language: "Hou Dayong, the governor of Xiongsheng Army, ordered you to put down your weapons and surrender immediately, otherwise you will be eliminated immediately."

When the Uighur soldiers around Tu Shaodu heard this, they all looked indignant and stared at the visitor, waiting for the general to give the order and cut the visitor into meat paste.

Tu Shaodu only realized that the Zhou army fighting with him was the army of Hou Dayong, the governor of Xiongsheng Army. "Hou Dayong, I haven't heard of this person in the Zhou army." Tu Shaodu said to his deputy general, Pu Gu, "I want to meet Hou Dayong. You have the right troops. If I can't come back, I will fight to the death with the Zhou army."

Tu Shaodu calmly came to Hou Dayong, and the commanders of the two armies looked at each other for a moment.

Tu Shaodu spoke first, what Hou Dayong didn't expect was that he actually spoke Xi'an dialect: "I am Lanzhou Don't Tu Shaodu, the real hero of the Jiedushi, you will be defeated by you, convinced."

Hou Dayong said coldly: "Why did the Uighur army invade the land of Dazhou, kill my people, and destroy my home?"

Tu Shaodu sighed and said, "The Lanzhou Uighur Army is also helpless, and it is a forced one to come to Zhou." Tu Shaodu told the whole story of fighting with Khan Renyu.

At this point, Hou Dayong truly understood why the Uighurs recklessly besieged Qinzhou. He said in a row: "This is the family affairs of you Uighurs, not the reason to enter the Zhou realm. With me, Hou Dayong, here, any army dares to invade my border. It is impossible to come and go."

Tu Shaodu was not scared by Hou Dayongli's harsh words. Now the Zhou army has the upper hand. If the Zhou army governor really wants to take his life, there is no need to negotiate. He just needs to order his attack. Since he wants to come over to discuss, he has made some attempts. Tu Shaodu said in a deep voice: "The Uighurs are not afraid of death. If you want to fight, you will only be dead."

As soon as this sentence was released, Hou Dayong knew that he had met a veteran and said this. It was just to increase the capital of bargaining. If he really didn't want to negotiate, he would have cut off the heads of the messenger. Hou Dayong didn't want to waste his time, because the Uighurs had two armies, crossing the river from Xiaowan Ferry and the Yangtao Shu Ferry. He probably would soon arrive at Fengling Ferry. So he issued an ultimatum. He said: "I have four requirements. I must reply clearly. First, I can give you a way out now. You two other cavalrymen, and we will all let you go, but you

We can only follow the territory of Longxi along the Wei River to your own territory, and we are not allowed to enter the territory of the Tubo people; secondly, keep all the war horses of your team along the way as robbing the compensation of the people of Qinzhou, but your weapons can be taken away; thirdly, merchants in Zhou can go to the jurisdiction you control to do business freely, and you must provide protection, and in the future, one thousand war horses will be provided to Xiongsheng Army at two-thirds of the market price every year; fourthly, if you cannot stand your feet, after our consent, you can settle on the bank of the Wei River east of Longxi, but you must surrender to me and obey my orders."

Tu Shaodu thought about it in his mind. Except for the first condition that must be implemented now, the other conditions are empty talk. To be honest, these conditions are not meticulous. Tu Shaodu was ready to accept these conditions in his mind, but he still sneered: "What if I don't agree with your request?"

Hou Dayong looked at Guo Jiong, and Guo Jiong shouted: "Bound archers, prepare." All the soldiers on the periphery of Fuhu Army raised the ground crossbows in their hands.

Tu Shaodu looked at Ru Lin's crossbow arrow, his face turned a little gray, but he continued to sneer.

Hou Dayong also sneered and said, "General, don't lose the lives of hundreds of Uighur heroes for the sake of one's own thoughts."

Tu Shaodu sighed: "Forget it, Tu Shaodu's reputation for a lifetime has been destroyed by the Wei River today." After sighing, he said to Hou Dayong: "I accept your conditions, but I have one condition, which is to give us a few days of food."

Hou Dayong nodded and said, "This is OK."

Tu Shaodu returned to the camp with a blue face and issued an order. He heard that the war horses were handed over, and the Uighur riders all looked angry, but they looked at the well-equipped and numerous Zhou troops, and their confidence in fighting slowly disappeared. Although they were reluctant, they handed over the war horses. Many men cried bitterly with their war horses.

The Uighurs lived on horses for many years. After handing over the war horse, they carried a scimitar and were a little confused.

Tu Shaodu followed Hou Dayong's request and advanced along the Wei River toward Longxi. At the same time, he sent several commanders to run towards the Gesa Army and Duluo Wu Army. Guo Jiong led the Heiyu Army to follow from afar behind and monitored the Uighurs' actions. The Uighurs were very trustworthy. After receiving the order, the Gesa Army and Duluo Wu Army quickly walked west along the Wei River and headed towards Longxi.

Tu Shao passed the Xiaowan Ferry and walked west less than a mile, and then joined forces with the Gesa Army and the Duluo Wu Army. Although the Uighur Army was more than half of the losses, there were still 6,000 people. He still had the strength to fight again.

After hearing the agreement reached by Tu Shaodu and Hou Dayong, Ge Sa was so angry that his face turned pale, and he looked at Tu Shaodu's eyes and looked at Tu Shaodu with some contempt.

Tu Shaodu pretended not to see and summoned the generals to discuss matters in the camp. At this time, Tu Shaodu's spirit was basically broken. He announced to the generals in a sad tone: "We have been defeated by the Zhou army. Don't think about revenge. Hou Dayong's army is too serious. Besides, the main force of the Zhou army in Qinzhou will soon reach the Wei River and continue to fight. The Uighur army will only be destroyed in its entire army. We must leave some capital for the Uighurs in Lanzhou."

All the generals knew this was the truth and were so sad that they lowered their heads.

Tu Shaodu continued: "The responsibility lies with me in this situation. I am no longer worthy of being the leader of everyone. Geza is the eagle of our Lanzhou Uighurs. Let him take everyone to soar in the vast sky and the earth."

Geza didn't expect that Tu Shaodu would suddenly talk about this matter. He looked up in surprise and looked at Tu Shaodu with a pale face. Tu Shaodu's eyes looked at Geza with some warmth and some determination.

Tu Shaodu waved to Geza with his left hand, and his right hand was lowered. Geza approached Tu Shaodu. Tu Shaodu whispered: "I will hand over my beloved daughter Asi to you, and you must find a way to save her." After saying that, he suddenly raised a sharp dagger in his right hand and stabbed him in his heart. Suddenly, although Geza was very close to Tu Shaodu, he had no time to stop him.

The knife pierced into his heart, and the spitting Shaodu was already weak in a blink of an eye. He said to Ge Sa who was holding him: "If Hou Dayong is here, you must not violate the Zhou realm, remember." After saying this, a generation of powerful men vomited Shaodu's souls all scattered.

Military situation was like fire. Geza had no time to be sad after taking over the great task, so he quickly wiped away his tears. Where did the six thousand Uighurs go? This heavy burden fell on Geza's shoulders.

Geza, Pugu and Duluobu discussed briefly for a while, Geza made up his mind and said, "The Zhou army is too strong, and we can't go back on the bank of the Wei River. Now there is only one way to live. Go west while night, and take out the accident. Take Longxi."

After the Uighurs left, Fengxiang's army arrived at Fengling Ferry.

Wang Jing was quite satisfied with the result of the Uighur army escaping from the west from the Wei River. Fengxiang's army basically suffered no losses, so he repelled the Uighur army's attack on Qinzhou. What result would be better than this? He still admired Hou Dayong's righteous move. Although this person was not very obedient as a subordinate, he was very good as a neighbor.

Hou Dayong was not very relieved when he won the battle. From the perspective of outsiders, Hou Dayong won very beautifully with 5,000 to 10,000. However, the main force of the 1,000 Black Eagle Army led by He Wulang was basically disabled at the Xiaowan Ferry, with more than half of them killed in the battle, and all were injured. During the entire battle, the three armies of the Black Eagle Army, the Black Jiao Army and the Fuhu Army killed a total of 1,253 people, and the casualties were severe.

After returning to Fengzhou Prefecture, on Fenghuang Mountain in the north of Fengzhou City, Hou Dayong ordered the construction of the "Ceurion Cemetery of Deadly Soldiers" and ordered the troops to verify the names and addresses of the soldiers who died in battle, and sent a considerable amount of pensions to the homes of the soldiers who died in battle. Moreover, if only their parents' land is left in the home, if they are willing, they will receive them from Fengzhou and enter the Invalides Court. In the future, they will be able to eat and wear food and clothing. If the soldiers who are injured and disabled in the war, they can also enter the Invalides Court to avoid being left on the streets.

These policies have been implemented since Cangzhou. The Black Eagle Army was used to it. The Black Eagle Army soldiers were not surprised, but the Fuhu Army and the Black Eagle Army were very surprised. When the disabled soldiers of the Fuhu Army and the Black Eagle Army entered the Invalides' Courtyard, they were filled with tears. For the past five generations, soldiers have been domineering in society, but the disabled soldiers on the battlefield have lost their value and are abandoned by the army like dead dogs. Everyone is used to this practice. Hou Dayong established the Invalides' Courtyard, which greatly shocked the Black Eagle Army and the Invalides' War. They finally knew why the Black Eagle Army was extremely brave on the battlefield.

After this battle, Hou Dayong also re-recognized the combat power of the infantry. The Black Diao Army is a pure cavalry unit. However, in actual combat, the pure cavalry team also has its own weaknesses. In complex terrain and blocking wars, pure cavalry has great weaknesses. Therefore, Hou Dayong canceled the number of Black Dragon Army and Fuhu Army and organized the Black Dragon Army and the Fuhu Army into the Black Diao Infantry Army. He personally served as the commander of the Black Diao New Army, appointed Shi Hu as the commander of the Deputy Commander of the Black Diao Army, Guo Jiong as the commander of the Black Diao Army, He Wulang as the commander of the Black Diao Army, Jiang Hui as the commander of the Black Diao Army's infantry, Hu Li as the deputy commander of the Black Diao Army's infantry, and the positions of the generals have changed, but the grade remains unchanged.

Hou Dayong selected three thousand elite infantry troops from Wang Jiang and Chen Renyi's infantry to supplement them into the Black Eagle Army, making the Black Eagle Army ranks 6,000, including 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry.

After the new army was formed, the happiest people were of course the Black Dragon Army and the Fuhu Army soldiers. The Black Eagle Army was well-known and now they have become official members of the Black Eagle Army, and their hearts are full of pride.

The Uighur Army invasion came and went quickly. After receiving the alarm from Wang Jing, Chai Rong had just returned the order before he arrived at Fengxiang Mansion. The letter of victory from defeating the Uighur Army was sent to Chai Rong's desk. At this time, Chai Rong was concentrating his efforts on the Nan and did not want to start a war on multiple sides. He was worried first and then happy within a few days.

Chai Rong was an extremely meticulous person. He took two letters of victory and thought for a while and handed them to Wang Pu. Wang Pu was Chai Rong's confidant. Like Xiang Xun, he followed Chai Rong very early. When Chai Rong was the governor of Chanzhou, he appointed Wang Pu as the secretary, later Chai Rong as the prefect of Kaifeng, Wang Pu as the provost, Chai Rong became the emperor and the minister of the Bi tribe. After Wang Pu proposed the "Pingbian Ceremony", Chai Rong trusted him even more.

Wang Pu looked at it for a while, smiled slightly, and placed two letters of victory on the table.

Chai Rong said: "What does Wang Lang think about this?"

Wang Pu knew that Chai Rong was very careful and must have seen something wrong, so he asked this question. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a clear understanding of his hair and has a conclusion in his heart. Let's see if I say it right."

"The Uighurs were in civil turmoil, and tens of thousands of Uighur soldiers in Lanzhou fled into Qinzhou. Fengxiang's army attacked from the east, and the Black Eagle army attacked from the south. The two armies joined forces to repel the Uighurs. The matter was clear, and the two governors had military achievements."

Chai Rong gently tapped the table with his hands and said, "Continue."

"The two good news reports were basically the same, but the final decisive battle occurred on the banks of the Wei River, which is somewhat memorable. According to my opinion, this Uighur rebel army must have wanted to enter the territory of the Tubo people, otherwise it would not have forced the Wei River to cross the Wei River. Changfeng obviously made such judgments, so he deployed heavy troops in the Wei River, intercepted the Uighur army, forced the Uighurs to flee westward, and retreated into Longxi. Longxi had the men of Uighur Khan Renyu. After this Uighur army entered Longxi, it had to face Renyu's men. After the two Uighur troops fought, the Ganzhou Uighurs could not recover their vitality within a few years, and another strong enemy was gone to the western border."

Wang Pu continued: "In terms of merit in this battle, Changfeng accounts for seven points, and Wang Jing Jiedushi accounts for three points. If Wang Jing Jiedushi had not led the Fengxiang army to suppress it from behind, Changfeng's five thousand troops might not be able to stop tens of thousands of Uighur powers. However, Changfeng did have strategic vision when fighting against the Uighurs in the Wei River. If the Uighur army invaded Zhuoni, the land of the three states would be uneasy. Although there were heavy casualties, it would be spared from the future hidden escape."

Chai Rong praised: "Wang Lang's analysis is really conscientious." He smiled and said: "The governor of Wang Jing is an old fox. Qinzhou is clearly under his jurisdiction. The Uighurs attacked him, but Changfeng asked Changfeng to fight a big battle. Changfeng's five thousand men were killed in battle, and more than half of them were injured in battle. The Fengxiang Army had only suffered more than 300 casualties."

Chai Rong said this and paused for a while, and said slowly: "Changfeng is really a straightforward man. Our dynasty has the talent of a pillar." He also said: "Since Houlang is good at fighting, and the distance between Qinzhou and Fengxiang and Fengzhou is not much different, Qinzhou can be classified as Houlang's control. This will help to form an overall defense line. Wang Jing Jiedushi is steady and can let him live in the second defense line. With these two defense lines, I can let go of the war in the south."

After the battle of Fengzhou, the Zhou army took back the four states from the Shu people, the first plan was to build a town from Qin, Feng, Cheng and Jie. For some reason, Chai Rong assigned Qinzhou to Wang Jing to control it.

When Wang Pu heard that Qinzhou belonged to Hou Dayong's control, his eyelids jumped inadvertently and said, "The unified command of the four states of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and the unified command is more conducive to unified command. With these two lines of defense, the Western Front can ensure safety."

Chai Rong was in a very good mood and said to Wang Pu: "This is what we talked about today's military and national affairs. I want to go and see my adopted son Zonglin. This little guy is so cute."
