Chapter 764 Gao Qiu was wronged five

In the night, the bright moon that pops out from the dark clouds from time to time reflects the figures of people and horses marching on the grasslands. It also illuminates the vast and desolate grasslands around. This was once a place where Han soldiers herd their horses. After more than a hundred years of falling into the enemy, it finally attracted the troops under the Han flag again.

But this time, the arrogant Khitan army retreated in front of the flag of the famous general of the Song Dynasty, Taiwei Gao.

This team of people is now following the Khitan army that winds eastward like a fire dragon. Their number is not large, less than four hundred. Without banners, they are just cavalry, one person and two horses. The leader is dozens of thick warriors with money rat tails and leather hats, carrying long horses and huge bow bags, and just bowing their heads and horses toward the east without slow speed. They always keep a distance of five to ten miles from the Khitan army that is moving forward in front.

The team of people in the middle was Wanyan Xieye and Wu Tian. Both of them wore a strong Qingtang wart armor and also covered a linen cloak outside the armor to cover the bright armor leaves. The croaker on their heads was also covered with a leather hat with a slogan style.

Such a dress is naturally to pretend to be a warrior from the Bukelie tribe. Although Wu Haogu has made up his mind to achieve the reputation of Taiwei Gao, the apparent disguise still requires such a famous general like Taiwei Gao. How could he destroy national harmony under his own banner? He must frame the blame.

The Hetao grassland is close to the territory of the Bu people. The Dangxiang people who originally controlled this territory froze after the Battle of Tongwancheng. Even the Weifu Army Division of the Black Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River has withdrawn, so a power vacuum has temporarily appeared. Naturally, there is no power to stop the warriors of the Kelie tribe from moving south.

Of course, the Khitans did not believe this lies. It was not because the people of the Khitan tribe could not come to the southern part of the Hetao grassland, but because the Khitan tribe did not have any armored cavalry at all. If they could gather three or four hundred armored cavalry, they would not be firmly suppressed by the Khitans.

However, it doesn't matter whether the Khitans believe in Wu Haogu or not. As long as they can take this reason to fool Zhao Ji in the court. This way, Gao Qiu is wronged, but Fengboting will not go there.

Suddenly, several cavalrymen were on the front. The first one was Wu Haogu's slut Wu Huang. He was also one of the four "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang". He came to the Northwest Army with Wu Tian. Although this kid seemed to be Wu Tian, ​​he was about the same height as Wu Tian when he left Jiehe Market, but now he was half a head taller than Wu Tian. Perhaps because of his sharp figure, Wu Huang's appetite has also improved recently. Now he is sitting on the horse's back, holding half a piece of naan with cooked beef in his hand, chewing it in big mouths. He didn't look as strict as Wu Tian. He smiled all day long, and said to Wu Tian and Xi with a smile: "The Liao dog in front looks quite strict, all of them are armored cavalry, and they are scattered in formation, and there are far stops behind. It's impossible to attack."

It turned out that he led a team of far-distance squads to follow the armored cavalry behind the Khitan Palace for most of the night.

Wu Tian had no good expression on this brother who was touching his shoulders and asked fiercely: "Ah Huang, didn't your man fight against Liao Gou?"

"No," Wu Huang said, chewing the naan bread, "those Liao dogs are afraid of us and dare not get close to the war."

"That's because they can't understand where we come from and what we are." Wu Tian turned around and said to Wanyan Xie, "Xieye, it seems that the Khitans didn't take us seriously. It's better to just follow them all night and start after the day (at dawn)."

Following the night, the tactics of attacking at dawn seemed to be contrary to common sense at first glance, as if the raid should be carried out under the cover of night. But now Wu Tian, ​​the enemy facing Xi is not defenseless. Instead, people wear armor, wear horse harnesses, and form formations, and have also scattered a lot of distance stops, so there is no possibility of a surprise attack at all.

Therefore, Wu Tian simply went the other way, putting pressure on his opponents by following them all the way, consuming their spirit and physical strength (it is very energy-consuming to wear armor and wear them). At the same time, following without fighting will also confuse the enemy, making them mistakenly think that it was just a small group of cavalry of the Song army monitoring them to retreat eastward.

After all, the two countries of Song and Liao have not yet started a war!

After suffering one night, the Khitan Armored Cavalry behind the palace must have been exhausted. At dawn, I am afraid I will doze off, so I just happened to start!

Of course, Wu Tian and Xi can only play like this with capital. Wu Tian’s fake group and Xi’s “Birth of Jurchen Gundam” are the most capable of enduring. They can withstand it if they don’t sleep for several days or nights.

This is the cost of fighting fatigue!

...

The sky gradually became brighter, and the morning mist was everywhere on the grassland, and it was difficult to distinguish dozens of steps away from the opposite side.

Xiao Gan, with more than a hundred cavalry, slowly walked slowly at the end of his 1,000-skin armored cavalry team. Everyone was trapped, but they were just trying to keep on holding on. Xiao Gan was riding a horse in front and kept yawning. But he didn't close his eyes all day and night!

When he learned that there were unknown cavalry following him last night, he did not dare to take it lightly. He immediately ordered his armor to form a formation and Xu Jin. He personally led more than a hundred cavalry to walk at the end, and even threw a lot of extra distance to stop him.

However, after one night of alert, the cavalry following behind were still hanging from afar, without looking to attack.

Moreover, the long stalker sent by Xiao Gan to reconnaissance also reported before dawn that the most of the ones following his own troops were hundreds of cavalry, not a large group of people.

Of course, hundreds of cavalry could not threaten tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers, and even the thousand southern skin armored cavalry behind the palace could not deal with it. So Xiao Gan finally felt much more at ease, and as soon as he relaxed, the sleepiness became so strong that he couldn't even be erased.

And the elite soldiers in the Nanpi room following him were all exhausted.

In fact, the real elites in the skin room are the ancestors of these people. They were the elites who followed Taizu Abaoji, Taizong Yelu Deguang swept the desert grasslands, and even almost entered the Central Plains! They are not weak compared to the current Wanyan tribe "Gunda".

However, since the era of Emperor Shengzong of Liao, the Pishi Army gradually became a garrison. The left and right skin chambers were stationed in Tailao Ancient Mountains, Esong, and the North and South Pishi Army returned to the North and South Dawang Mansions, Esxixia, and the Yellow Pishi Army composed of the vassal state army was simply left with an empty shell.

The Piss Army, which became a garrison, could not select strong warriors from the tents of various tribes as before. They could only rely on the old Pisses to raise small Pisses, which means they became hereditary soldiers.

Moreover, there was no generous supply, so we could only rely on grazing to make a living and armed building. The territory allocated to them by the Liao court was the relatively peaceful Hetao grassland area (part of the Hetao grasslands belonging to the Liao Dynasty), and it had not been on the battlefield for decades.

These elite soldiers who followed Xiao Gan were just younger and stronger, and the battle formations were just stories from their ancestors. These people were somewhat more energetic when they followed Xiao Gan just out. If Xiao Delis and Xiao Gan had a little ambition yesterday and fought with Taiwei Gao on the edge of the Mingtang River, they might be able to fight.

But Xiao Delis and Xiao Gan chose to retreat, and the morale that was bulging due to the first formation immediately fell a lot. And it was not that he had enough energy to retreat during the day, but that he retreated overnight.

The retreat was not stable, allowing the "unidentified" cavalry to follow along. Although Xiao Gan had fought a war, his experience was not very rich. He was too nervous and worried that the other party would launch an attack at night. He had his subordinates put on armor and set up a formation early. After one night, everyone was sleepy and tired, and complained.

"...How did we command it? We moved forward for no reason and saw Song Gou's army retreating again. When will our Great Khitan warriors be useless?"

"We have a miserable life. No one takes care of the cattle and sheep in our family, but we have sent troops for thousands of miles, and we can't catch grass valleys. We are wandering around the grassland."

"Yes, after wandering around the grassland for so long, the horse was exhausted and sick, but in the end he went back empty-handed..."

"At least, I'll take it and leave again, it's not in vain!"

Of course, Xiao Gan heard all the complaining sounds in his ears, and just shook his head slightly. These skin-cuffed soldiers were too undisciplined, and they didn't know the cruelty of the war. They lacked awareness of the Song army and thought they were weak chickens who let them plunder.

Through the misty morning mist, a faint sound suddenly came from behind. It seemed that the sound of horse hooves stepping on the grass, and it became louder and louder!

Who is this? Are you the hundreds of cavalry who have been following you? Or are you back from a far stop scattered behind you?

Just when he was not sure, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and it was the sound of an arrow calling the police! Then there were the screams of people and the neighing of horses!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Array..."

Xiao Gan shouted and ordered.

One of his followers immediately raised the horn and whimpered the horn.

The armored cavalry who was sluggishly traveling eastward were all shocked at the same time.

What's going on? Are you going to fight? Are you from the Song Dynasty? They dared to go to war with the Liao Dynasty after they were brave enough to eat the courage of the bear heart and leopard?

"Quick! Quickly line up a horizontal line!" Xiao Gan shouted loudly, "Enemy attack, line up a horizontal line up!"

After a brief shock, thousands of Khitan armored cavalry began to unfold in a mess, and they were still in their "light but uneven" style. Although the Khitans had armored cavalry, they could not get rid of the nomadic habits and did not like to fight hard in arrays. Even if they were arrays, they would go in one go and rush forward and then use hand-to-hand combat to win.

Just as Xiao Gan's Nanpishi Army was busy lined up, the first enemy cavalry had already appeared in the morning mist! At the same time, there were also shouts from the slogan: "For Mogus! Heavenly Father's blessing..."

Xiao Gan could understand the divination and was stunned.

Are the people who came to the Pubu? Or are the people who were from the Krei tribe?

How is this possible!?

"Stop the divination!"

"It's a divination person..."
