Chapter 12: The power of Mobei

The camp tent, sheep, springs and rugged ground made the terrain behind the little Jinshan unable to run quickly. The sword light was like snow and wind wheels and chopped the Khitan cavalry that broke into the ground. Yang Yi asked the Modao and Battle Axe infantry to meet the enemy in this area. It was better to calculate the various conditions. Moye, the Shulu master, did not expect that they encountered the most powerful infantry in the entire Western Region. In this field, the Khitan cavalry's troops were restrained, and even Yang Yi unexpectedly was that the enemy's chief general died in the first round at the fall of Liu Heihu. The Khitan army was panicked when he saw the commander being cut on the spot. Not only was the morale of the entire army severely damaged, but the formation was also chaotic, and the situation immediately became one-sided.

There were three guards holding short spears and shields beside Liu Heihu. When he saw Shulu Moye fell off his horse, he jumped over and cut off his head with one knife. Shulu Moye's personal soldiers rushed up to steal the body. Several shouted, "General!" Several shouted, "Uncle!"

Two of them spoke Khitan dialect, and two of them spoke Uighur dialect. The Tang army had understood soldiers cheered and shouted: "It's the national uncle! We killed the Khitan's national uncle! A big man!"

One thousand six hundred soldiers of the Modao and Battle Axe cheered in unison when they heard this, and all shouted: "Kill the Khitan's uncle, kill the Khitan's uncle!"

Liu Heihu also saw from the costumes, weapons and war horse equipment of Shuluzhe Moye, but he didn't expect that he was the Khitan's uncle. He laughed and ordered the guards to hold up Shuluzhe Moye's head and helmet with a spear. However, he waved his sword and continued to kill the enemy. The sword lights everywhere and horses smashed people to death, and it was so powerful!

The Khitans who were far away from the scene where Moye Shulu was beheaded in half just now. At this time, they heard the cheers of the Tang army and understood the head of Moye Shululu. The entire army was frightened and the battle axe rolled up. Not long after, the Khitan cavalry suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this, the deputy general of Moye, the ruler, knew that he was defeated and retreated. Liu Heihu gathered the formation and rushed over. The Khitans were shocked when they saw the sword light that looked like a wall. Many people remembered what the Uighurs had said and thought to themselves: "That is the Tang army's Modao Formation? It seems that the Beiting Uighurs did not speak loudly. The Tang people's Modao Formation is indeed powerful!"

Moye, the Shulushi, secretly complained in his heart: "The Tang people actually ambushed the Modao Formation here. This is really unlucky!" He realized that he was defeated and called the remaining troops to escape. The Khitan cavalry had already struggled to fight in front of the Modao Formation. When he heard that he was retreating, he felt like he was amnesty, and more than a thousand people fled in panic.

At this time, the unsolved shortcomings of the Modao Formation were exposed: they could defeat them with great strength, but they could not chase the enemy!

Yang Zhuo saw it at the half slope of Xiaojin Mountain and said to Yang Yi in a hurry: "Brother! I'll go chase him!" His battalion was a mobile force, and he stopped at the half slope, and he didn't even go up the mountain to defend. Before him, Chi Ding had already packed up the remaining Muqi and chased the tails of the Khitan cavalry. Only three or four hundred people could still fight with his troops, but the troops of Shuluzhe Moye had lost their fighting spirit, but when they heard the sound of horse hooves chasing behind, they just wanted to escape and did not dare to fight back.

Yang Yi ignored Yang Zhuo's request. He paid attention to the overall situation. Seeing that the Khitan soldiers attacked backwards fled, he immediately ordered: "The whole army is on the horse and prepare for an assault!" But he was not ready to chase the defeat, but wanted to create new victories forward!

The Xiaojinshan cheered in unison and responded one after another! The cavalry of the Yingyang tribe is not the one who sits in the guards! I have been waiting for this moment for a long time!

More than three thousand cavalrymen climbed onto the back of the horse and rushed out from two mountain roads. Yang Yi rushed forward with a spear. The Khitan generals saw that the crossbow on the mountain were getting weaker. They were originally timid and secretly happy, but they didn't expect the Tang army to suddenly rush out. Their power was so powerful that they had not seen in a few days!

When Yelu Letaigu was surprised and suspicious, he commanded his soldiers to rush to meet the enemy. Yang Yi not only had a unique strategic vision, but also had a rare combat command in the entire army. After rushing out of the mountain road, he noticed that a group of people moved before the battle and rushed over immediately. This group of people was the old subordinate of the Uighurs of Beiting. Although he was reorganized by the Khitans, he was still afraid of the Tang army in Tiance. Some of them saw Yang Yi's banner and exclaimed: "It's General Yingyang in the Tang army!" Many people felt guilty before they took the enemy.

The first batch of Khitan soldiers and horses to arrive in Xiaojinshan were the strongest of Shuluzhe Moye's tribe, followed by Yelu Letai's tribe. As for the old Uighur tribe in Beiting, they were relatively weaker. The main reason for bringing them with them was that this group of people was familiar with the local terrain, they could play a guiding role in the early stage and exert various local advantages in long-term combat.

The three thousand iron cavalry that rushed out of Xiao Jinshan were the elite of the cavalry in the Tang army in Tiance. The force of breaking the enemy was the best among the various departments of the Tang army! At this time, Yang Yi clashed with left and right, and wherever he went, he was invincible. After the Yingyang cavalry impulsed this group of people, he drove to the rest of his troops. Yelu Letaigu said in a panic shock: "This group of people is a little stronger than the Tang army he encountered last year!"

He gritted his teeth and drove his troops to intercept him. This group of people was very strong, but it was still quite inferior to the Yingyang cavalry. Moreover, his morale had reached the "decline again" stage. The Yingyang cavalry had been holding back for several days. Today, he was able to enjoy the underground battlefield. People were like tigers and horses were like dragons, galloping into the enemy formation, and everyone was hunting Hu cavalry like extremely hungry!

Just when the two sides were fighting to the point of fierce fighting, the Modao Formation behind the Yingyang cavalry drove out the cavalry as the cavalry. Just now, Liu Heihu ordered his subordinates to drag Modao down and show weakness. At this time, he held up the Modao Battle Axe high from the beginning and flashed under the sunlight!

"What is that!" After Yelu Letaigu was shining with his sword, he suddenly remembered the battle of Yanqi described by the Uighurs, and shouted: "Is it the Tang army's Modao Battle Axe Formation! It is rumored that this formation is the most powerful, so don't let them get closer."

The swords and axes came stepping on their feet, and the shock caused by the sound of the footsteps of the stalking together was even more shocking than the straits of ten thousand hooves! This heavy infantry has not yet been put into the battlefield, but the deterrence it brings has become a strong aura for the comrades. The Khitans were all panicked when they saw it!

Yelu Letaigu said in his heart: "I originally thought that the Tang army had just released a partial army here, but I didn't expect that they had ambushed two powerful troops! It seems difficult to win this battle today! But I don't know how it is going on with Moye. If I want to turn the situation around, it depends on his success or failure of the attack behind the Tang army."

Just as Yelu Letai hesitated, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly shouted: "Uncle, uncle!"

"What?"

"The head of the uncle!"

Yelu Letaiguru was hit by thunder! Just now, he was thinking about relying on Moye's troops to turn the situation around, but now he saw with his own eyes that Moye's head was lifted in front of the formation - the main generals were all dead, can that group of people still be said?

Thousands of people were rumored to each other, and they looked over together. Sure enough, they saw that the head of the Shuluzhe Moye was raised high by Yang Zhuo. Dozens of soldiers in the Tang army who learned Khitan were shouting in unison: "All annihilate the Khitan, capture the main general alive, wipe out the Khitan, capture the main general alive!"

At this time, Yelu Letaigu noticed that the more than a thousand bright swords and battle axes were not snow-white, but mostly stained with blood. A tragic scene of the Shulu-Ji Moye encountering the legendary Tang Jianjian formation in front of the blood-drinking formation. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but he heard the sound of killing sounds not far away. Yang Yi had already killed more than ten steps away. At this point, Yelu Letaigu no longer had the courage to welcome the enemy and shouted: "Go!" to lead the troops to retreat.

The Khitan general was dead, and the second most prestige retreated, and the front collapsed immediately. Yang Yi waved his spear and chased him without stopping. Chi Ding and the Muqiqi confiscated the results of the war and captured the prisoners. The Tang army chased for two days and two nights, and chased for more than 600 miles. There were Khitan follow-up troops along the way. Seeing the defeat of the front army, they fled in panic. Those who did not escape were loose. Yang Yi saw one army, defeated one army, burned one camp, and threw thousands of desert north along the way.

The knight's corpse captured more than a thousand prisoners of war and 3,000 war horses. He chased him to the vicinity of Jinshan Mountains and rushed to the front of the Jinshan Mountains for a long distance. The team must have been pulled open. At this time, there were only more than 200 people left around Yang Yi. Looking at the camp behind, there were probably nearly 10,000 troops. Before Yang Yi rushed to the camp with his spear, Yelu Letaigu had a breath of rest after entering the camp. The leader of this camp was unpredictable and he did not dare to go out to meet the enemy! The Khitan had been established for decades, and his momentum was suppressed to such an unprecedented level!

Yang Yi sneered three times in front of the camp, dragged his spear back, gathered his troops all the way back to Xiaojinshan. He found out from the prisoners of war that the Hu general Liu Heihu killed that day. The body of the Shulu Moye had been split into three pieces. Yang Yi ordered people to put on the beheaded corpse, put on armor, wrapped it in lime, and sent his head to the rear to seek merit. However, more than a dozen prisoners of war were sent to send them back to Mobei.

The dozen prisoners of war brought this headless corpse and returned eastward. On the way, they met Yelu Shuogu's army. Yelu Shuogu opened the horse leather wrapped in the body, his hands trembled, and his teeth fought: "Myer and I were both in charge of Moye, who was fighting against the Tang people in the west. Now, as soon as we started fighting, Moye was defeated and killed, but he asked me to go back and explain to the Empress Dowager!"

The generals were shocked, angry and hated, and at the same time they were filled with fear. This fear was not only awe of Yang Yi, but also a fear of Shu Luping's punishment!

Yelu Shugudun said angrily: "What should you do if you say!"

The generals shouted: "Immediately, we will advance westward, trampling on Beiting, and avenge our uncle!"

Yelu Shuogu's face was unstable. Yelu Letai said: "It's clear and steady, you have to be cautious! We originally thought that even if the Tang army guarded the frontier, it was just a partial army at the beginning, but unexpectedly, the opponent's general went to the front line in person at the first time. Yang Yi is famous among the Tang army. Murong Chunhua, who burned Beiting last year, was only his deputy general. Moreover, from the battle of Xiao Jinshan, the most elite cavalry and infantry of the Tang army have arrived! We may not be able to win the elites against the elites."

Xiao Jinshan was just a name given by Yang Yi temporarily, but the Khitans knew the name and accepted it through the released prisoners.

Yelu Shuogu said coldly: "The most elite cavalry of the Tang army? You have seen it yourself. How about Iron Cavalry of the Khitan?"

Yelu Letaigu lowered his head for a while before saying, "For the cavalry led by Yang Yi, it is not under my Khitan's crescent."

The Khitan generals were moved when they heard this. The Khitan's confidant tribe, namely the Pishi Army, was the strongest elite unit of the Khitan army. In the past, many wars, the Khitans were the key to the victory of this army in defeating the enemy. Before, the Khitan generals also heard the Uighurs in Beiting saying how powerful the Tang army was, but to them, it was like the richest man in the city who heard a country bumpkin show off how rich his village chief was. He did not take it seriously while he was contemptuous. The Khitan garrison, who was defeated in the Futu city, said that the Tang army was very strong, and the Mobei Knights refused to believe it, thinking that they exaggerated to cover up their defeat.

But Yelu Letaigu himself was from the Piss Army and knew the combat effectiveness of the Piss Army. He said that the Yingyang cavalry was not under the Piss Army, and that the Shuluzhe Moye had just happened to be defeated and killed in battle. The Khitan generals dared not disbelief.

Yelu Shuogu said: "Letaigu, what should we do if we follow your words?"

Although Yelu Letaigu retreated, how could he dare to speak out? When he was afraid of the enemy in the battle, not only could the master push him out and kill him at any time, but he would also be looked down upon by the heroes in Mobei when it was reported!

After all, he has been staying outside for a long time, and has experienced failures last year. His mind has become much more rounded. He said now: "This time, General Yingyang of the Tang army came to meet the enemy in person. We may not get any advantage in local battles. If we use military strength to avoid it, our army's large army will have more than 40,000 yuan. If we really invest in field battles, we will never lose to the other party. But we can increase our troops, and the other party can also send more troops from Beiting, Gaochang, and Yizhou. Their supplies are easier than ours..."

Yelu Shuogu shouted, "What do you mean? Explain it clearly in one sentence!"

Yelu Letaigu bit his teeth and said, "If our army cannot break through the Little Jinshan and enter the Beiting Grassland within two months, once the food and grass are unsustainable, I am afraid that there will be more and more disasters in the future!"

Yelu Shuogu shouted, "Do you want us to retreat?"

His harsh shout was a stern voice. Yelu Letaigu was trembling all over and did not dare to speak. Yelu Shuogu coldly swept the face of the master and finally fell on Yelu Letaigu's face, saying, "You are the general of my Khitan stationed in Beiting. You witnessed it with your own eyes when the battle of Xiaojinshan. If the Queen Moye asks about the situation of the war, no one will know better than you--Zhemoye's body, you will take it back to see the Queen Moye himself!"

When Yelu Letaigu heard this, his legs became weak. Yelu Shuogu's order was even more terrifying than letting him die. The generals couldn't help but sweat for him.

Yelu Shuogu said: "You set out now and use horses to relay along the way. It is limited to one month before the empress dowager's tent. It will be one day late. Military law will be punished!"

Yelu Letaigu agreed tremblingly and quickly took the body of Shulu Moye's body to set off. Yelu Shuogu said: "Set out! Soldiers are small Jinshan! I will meet for a while how powerful Yang Yi is!"

Although Yelu Shuogu's decision was just broken and tough, he still could not completely cover up the fact that the Khitan was defeated in Xiaojinshan. Although the body of the Shulu Moye's body was transported eastward quickly, the news of the defeat spread faster!

When the tribes in Mobei heard that the Khitan was defeated, the country's uncle was shocked.

"The Han family has obtained the Western Regions and then cut off the north arm of the desert!"
