In the northeast of Youzhou City, along the banks of Wenyu River, the river water has nourished many trees, which have already withered this season; but the snow hanging on the branches makes the withered trees bloom like clusters of flowers, which are very beautiful.
The houses in the village were also covered with snow, as if they were hidden inside.
Dong Zunjiao rode a horse through the forest road wrapped in silver, restraining the horse and looking into the distance excitedly. After a while, Zhou Tong, Zhang Jiankui and other generals also rushed forward, and the three horses were side by side, and the big men on the mounts stared brightly ahead.
Lian Zhanma's front hoofs are also pawing the snow, as if he can't wait.
On the road ahead, a long string of people and horses are crawling slowly, and there are hordes of sheep and cows in a cart pulled by horses.
Dong Zunhao turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Look, they haven't found us yet."
Zhou Tong: "I think we are our own people!"
Dong Zunzuo smiled and said: "This place is deep behind the Liao army, maybe they will really recognize the wrong person."
The large group of horse soldiers from behind also slowly came forward. Dong Zunhao suddenly stopped his smile, raised his hand and shouted: "Send the order, die, slowly approach!"
"Take Ling!"
A large group of horsemen and soldiers from the Zhou army came out of the forest road and moved forward slowly. The men and horses coming out from behind spread out to the left and right wings, and the army gradually became huge. It was obviously impossible to hide their whereabouts in the open area in the middle. Everyone didn't say a word, but occasionally there was a cough and noise from the horse's nose.
Dong Zunjiao carefully drew an arrow from the quiver, and kept moving at a slow speed to move forward, without leaving his prey for a moment. He is like a leopard, lying on the ground slowly approaching.
In a short while, Shuqi wandered out in front of him and finally found the strangeness. From a distance, he yelled. The crowd on the road suddenly appeared panicked!
Dong Zunjiao kicked the horse and shouted: "Kill!"
The cavalry in the front rushed out immediately, and the horses behind also accelerated. The silent army immediately shouted loudly, and the sound of horseshoes suddenly roared.
Seeing Zhou Jun's turbulent momentum, the Liao Army Horse Team was willing to come up and fight, and turned around and ran away. Dong Zunzuo yelled, a military commander led people to chase and kill, and the remaining brigade frantically rushed toward the crowd on the road.
The Liao people's team was in chaos. Dong Zunhao pulled his bow and shot an arrow at a man who had just climbed out of the carriage, and the man threw half of his body on the wooden wheel.
The sheep fled around, and the Liao people also ran wildly. The horse soldiers of Zhou Jun chased and killed them all around, crying and noisy all around, like a world of Shura, it was no different from massacre.
Dong Zunjiao led people to sprint farther along the road to his team, without stopping. Dong Zunjiao and Zhou Tong’s arrows never stopped. The bow does not need to be full. Anyway, these Liao army and tribal herders did not Armored. The horse galloped all the way, the bowstring "cracked" all the way, arrows flew in the air, the chaotic crowd on the road kept falling down, and there were dead bodies everywhere.
Some Liao people knelt on the ground, raising their hands and begging. Zhou Jun rushed up, but he couldn't understand it anyway, and he pierced him with the long gun. The rest of the people got up and ran desperately, collected the bow and arrow at the front of the Zhou army cavalry, drew the saber from the back, stared at one and accelerated.
"Ah..." The Liao man let out a desperate cry. But the horse was quickly approaching, and the Zhou Jun cavalry raised the shining saber high, waiting for it to rush in, and slashed with a knife, and the blood immediately splashed.
A group of cavalry circled to the west, drove the flock of sheep that panicked back there, flying arrows along the way, slaughtering the flock on the spot|slaughter! There were also a few shepherd dogs with their tails in there. "Wow..." shouted there, and arrows flew, and the dogs were killed. The screams of panic and horror all around were frightening.
The bean grains on the cart were also lit, and smoke billowed along the winding road.
Dong Zunjiao stood on the ground, wiped his saber back and forth on the clothes of a dead body a few times, looking back and forth, there were corpses on the ground covered with snow flakes in the snow, and blood was everywhere in a mess. The fighting has not stopped. A wounded man's eyes widened and crawled desperately in the snow. Sergeant Zhou caught up with him and stepped on his back, lifted the saber, and stabbed him down a few times. The blood splattered him. The faces were all over, and the people lying on the ground screamed like ghosts.
Dong Zunjiao put the knife in the scabbard, called five generals, pointed to the long series of messy scenes and smoke on the snowy ground, and said: "This road is Tonglulong (Pingzhou, the gateway to the West Liaoning Corridor) Over there. We can meet a troop of food and horses, and there may be others in the back. You will each bring a thousand cavalry along the road north."
Several generals clasped their fists in response.
Dong Zunzheng assigned the order again, and ordered them to kill all living creatures, and never stay. He confessed: "After returning, we will meet in the direction of Xishan and look for the Chinese brigade."
"Here!"
Dong Zunhao turned his head to look at Zhou Tong, ordered two thousand cavalry soldiers, and ordered Zhou Tong to lead his troops to the north entrance. A major event has happened on the road here, so you have to rush to another grain road as soon as possible to prevent it from running away if there is heavy baggage in the direction of Beikou!
The remaining three thousand horses and Dong Zunjiao, everyone did not clean the battlefield, threw human bodies and debris into the snow, burned all the grain and grass, and then took one or two dead sheep and left.
The cavalry continued to move all the way to the northwest, and when they encountered the village, a group of horses and men passed through the village. Horseshoes roar in the village, where are there people? The doors and windows are closed, but there must be people, because many roofs are smoking and have not had time to go out.
The army passed by the village and threw the dead sheep into the courtyard inside. The family lost a few of them and left if they lost it.
After the army entered the village, the villagers seemed to have found the dead sheep given to them, and they knew that it was Zhou army coming. They opened the door one after another, and a little daughter-in-law was sharp-eyed, and she saw Dong Zunjiao, a young man with jeweled scabbard and jeweled scabbard, coming up with the hot noodle soup. But she didn't succeed, and immediately there was a military officer who took the noodle soup and took a sip of it, and smiled to thank you.
Dong Zunhao said loudly: "Master Wang patrols hunters and sends some prey to the villagers for the New Year. A little gift. The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty wishes the people of Youzhou a good year!"
A civil official who accompanied the army shouted: "The king's northern expedition, regain the homeland, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the world is peaceful!"
The army and the people were happily shouting this sentence. If no one takes the lead, everyone still doesn't know what words to shout to vent|vent their emotions.
Dong Zunzuo instructed the civilian officials: "Look at where the village elder is, let him divide the sheep evenly, and instruct the villagers not to spread it outside, and then find someone to cover up the horseshoe footprints we left when we came, and beware of the Liao army's revenge."
The civil officer first agreed and said in a deep voice: "Let's send the sheep, the Liao army kills indiscriminately, the people's support is obvious, and General Dong does not need to worry too much about other things."
A crowd sent sheep everywhere. Soon after, Dong Zunhao got a report and found the food team again on the road from Beikou to Youzhou!
Dong Zunhao's young face showed crazy enthusiasm, and shouted: "We have found the prey again. Let's go to the North Exit and hunt with Zhoutong from north to south!"
The army screamed strangely, the horse team seemed to be boiling. Everyone galloped on horses, and the horses galloped indifferently on the vast wilderness.
……
"Hey!" Yelujing smashed the wine bowl to the ground, her face was blue.
His violent anger immediately shook the nobles in the big tent, everyone was silent for a while to avoid the anger of sweating, and no one was willing to hit the anger...
However, the nobles of the tribes are also very upset at this time! Those flocks of food and grass are all adjusted from everyone's territory. Even Liaodong is the territory of the Khitan nobles. What is lost is their own things. Who can be happy?
This battle is up to this point. Yelujing and others all know that the ministries are very reluctant... In the past, they used to fight to grab things, and there was always a reward if they shed blood; a battle like Shou Youzhou, not only You can't get anything, but you have to pay for it!
Now the main force of the army is consumed here, and it has been in confrontation and conflict for a day and night. The Liao army camped after the formation and took turns to rest; Zhou Jun still did the same. There is no way to attack the back and abdomen of the Zhou army camp, because the two wings are heavily supported by the Zhou army horse team.
"How long will it take?" Yelujing turned to look at Yeluxiu. Under the anger, there is no good words to sweat profusely.
Brother Yeluxiu said: "In this situation, don't worry about sweating. After a long time, Zhou Jun may have loopholes..."
He said again: "The Zhou army and horse team go deep to the north, but this group of people can't let it be presumptuous."
The Emperor Liao asked: "Who will kill them|to death!?"
General Yelu said diagonally: "The minister is willing to go. The minister only needs 20,000 horses, and he will go east first, and then the score will block and encircle the Beikou Zhou army."
Liao Huangdao: "Zhou Jun will definitely go back from the east?"
Yelü Xianzhen said: "The Great Liao Army is in Zhuozhou to the west. Zhou Jun is not so stupid to think about coming. It hits the edge of the big army. From the east to cut off the back road, the minister is familiar with the way of hunting."
So Yelu Xiezhen was ordered to lead troops to encircle.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, it was reported that Zhou soldiers had crossed the upper reaches of Sanggan River (northwest section of Youzhou City). Since Zhou Jun moved to the west, Yelu Xiezhen can still catch it? What the Liao army predicted was that Zhou Jun would go east to return, and Yelu's oblique Zhen was out of the east, and now it is chasing west temporarily, it's strange that it can be a hundred miles away!
In the Great Tent of the Liao Army, Brother Yeluxiu couldn’t help but cursed Yelv Xianzhen for being dumb in public, saying: “Zhou Jun is going west to find his death! Youzhou and Zhuozhou are west of Xishan, covered with snow, and Zhou Jun cavalry can go. If you fail to climb the mountain, where are you going to head west? The minister asks an army to go north and block the Zhou army on the east side of the west!"
Yelüjing frowned and asked: "How many people do you want?"
Brother Yeluxiu said: "Only ten thousand rides! Don't worry about sweating, Youzhou is the site of the Liao Dynasty. Zhou Jun's whereabouts can't be avoided, and he will definitely be caught by his ministers."
He is full of confidence, and the cavalry doesn’t just run as long as he wants to. As long as he can grasp the opponent’s movement in time, is good at predicting the direction, and estimating the opponent’s horsepower, he will stop the opponent and still don’t want to get out unless he turns his head. Run in the north direction. It's just that if the Zhou army cavalry is determined to hide, it is more troublesome, and the tactics need to be faster and more flexible.
