Chapter 418 The Battle of Yanmen Pass (End)
This stagnant aura is terrible. Even at night, as long as someone shouts and screams, it will cause everything in the camp to start and be infected immediately. In this case, people will lose their minds, trample on each other, fight each other, and destroy everything they see. They will wish to tear everything into pieces and turn into ashes.
Therefore, every night in the army, they are always on high alert, not only guarding against the enemy, but also guarding themselves. Some people leave the lodge and enter other military tents and kill immediately. Some people scream and scream. The patrol patrols also kill the camp. There are also swords and carriages and Luzhais in the intersections to block the road. This is to ensure that if a place is out of control, other places can still be controlled so that the entire army will not collapse. The generals in the leading camp patrol every night. Why is this? It is also to prevent anyone from showing any resentment or any rumors spreading, and they will immediately take down and chop them without hesitation.
However, the Khitans have not yet been fully Chineseized, and even if there are patrols, there are not many patrolling them. When chaos arises, they can no longer be controlled. The regular army is controlled at all levels and is so vigilant that camps often occur. Not to mention that this so-called Khitan army has a messy camp number, weak leadership, mixed tribes, and many unrestrained elderly, weak women and children who follow the army. In troubled times, everyone is full of fear. This camp is easier to grow, and once it is born, the destructive power is doubled.
Duan Mingyu turned sideways into the army and saw the weakness of the so-called Khitan army at a glance. He attacked it with elite troops, and one battalion was scattered, and the other battalions were immediately led to collapse, and he trampled himself down. This is what Duan Mingyu dared to do this. He believed that as long as ten thousand elite riders were in his hands, he could wipe out this powerful Khitan people at any time.
But the plains and fields are not good. We have to wait until night. The soldiers are exhausted. Which one is not exhausted after a big battle during the day? Han'er's physical strength is not as strong as the barbarians. Who would have thought that the Han people still have strength?
Moreover, once Duan Mingyu is about to attack, he will be the act of capturing the thief and the king. That is, Yelu Abaoji, the commander of the eight Khitan tribes, will be his prisoner immediately, and no one will die, and the situation will be completely cleaned up.
Why did the Tang army go against the norm, so fast and so fierce? Why?
At this moment, Yelu Deguang had no answer in his heart, and Yelu Abaoji had no answer in his heart.
More than ten cavalry squads rushed to the distance, and they were all responsible for conveying the news of the battlefield. The distance from the distance had already dismounted and rushed over and knelt in front of Yelu Abao's horse: "King, it's the Tang army, it's the Tang army! More than tens of thousands of Tang army have appeared at the mountain pass. Now these Tang army are rushing to the battlefield, all over the mountains and fields, and the entire camp is in chaos!"
At this time, several tribal leaders behind Yelu Abao's fuselage finally rushed up. Several Khitan generals jumped off the horse and knelt in front of Yelu Abao's fuselage, and said in a hurry: "King, retreat! We can't fight this Yanmen Pass anymore. If we don't leave, we can't save our lives. We can't fight the Tang people here. Our eight essences cannot be consumed here... We go back to the grassland, once there are troubled times in the Central Plains, we will fight back. Anyway, these people are fighting fiercely in their nests, so we have a chance!"
When Yelu Abaoji was young, he fought too much, suffered countless injuries and worked too much, so that his hair turned pale when he was in his prime. He looked ashen, and he waved his whip and hit the heads of the Khitan generals: "Get back your mother! If you don't smash this group of Tang troops, you won't go back!"
There are countless Khitan tribes, the most important of which are eight. Before Yelu Abaoji was the leader, these eight tribes decided the leaders of the eight tribes through voting, and the general election was once every three years. However, when Yelu Abaoji came, it was different. He became the eternal leader of the eight tribes, their king. Later, when the Khitans were weak, they united the Xi tribe in order to get rid of the oppression of the Tang Dynasty. Later, after integration, the Xi tribe and the Khitan were united. The leader of the Khitan had to marry the noble daughter of the Xi tribe as his wife.
Later, all the queens of the Liao Kingdom had the surname Xiao, and the empress had no less power than the emperor. Ahem, Mr. Jin Yong's eight chapters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" talked about these eight Khitan tribes. However, the author said that the protagonist Qiao Feng was a Khitan, and later Qiao Feng also changed his name to Xiao Feng. But please think about it, if our Qiao Daxia was a Khitan, why would the surname Xiao be Xiao? It should be Yelu. The Xiao surname is the surname of the Xi tribe of the Hou clan, so Qiao Daxia should not be a Khitan, but a Xi tribe.
It's a long time since Yelu Abaoji here has been in charge of the eight divisions for many years and has been closely linked with the Xi tribe, so his words are imperial edicts, and no one dares to disobey. He just said that he was considering withdrawing his troops for a long-term plan. Now Duan Mingyu has come over. If he really retreats at this time, then he will confirm the statement that he is afraid of a war. This makes Yelu Abaoji, who has been strong all his life, furious and immediately changes his decision.
The generals of the Xi people, Khitans, just endured the beating, jumped up and just grabbed the reins of Yelu Abaoji's mount, and more generals dismounted and ran to the front to kneel down; "King, our foundation is the grassland. Now the army has no fighting spirit. Let's go, let's go! The king rushed for the tribe, we all saw it, and we will be grateful for it for the rest of our lives! Please ask King Yelu to return to the army desert quickly, and stabilize our foundation with Deguang to rest. Now the three armies are unstable. If they have all their capital, whether they are the Khitans or the Xi tribe, it is really over! As long as they stabilize the foundation, we are still afraid that they will not fight hard in the future? No matter ten or twenty years, whether it is the king, the little prince Deguang, or Prince Xiao, as long as they take us forward, it is not worth it to die in battle!"
Yelu Abaoji's face finally relaxed. The generals under his command, Xi people, and the Khitans said the same thing, and the meaning was very obvious. They didn't care whether it was the Yelu family and the Xiao family. Anyway, they were all nationalities. No matter who the power was determined, as long as someone was in charge, it would be better if they were not injured at all. At that time, the power of affairs may not be able to turn things around yet...
