A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 177 Blood stains the Qinghe River

The night is dark and windy.

Yuchi Gong, the general manager of the Jingzhou Road Marching, put down his armor, raised his horse worth hundreds of thousands, and swung it forward.

"kill!"

Three thousand Qingqi under his command launched a thunderous strike.

Wu Huaiyu led the two hundred Shenji Battalion Qianqi, and followed closely behind.

There was nothing fancy, Yu Chigong's attack was simple and direct, Qingqi was like water breaking through a bank, galloping away, drowning all the affairs in front of him.

On the south bank of Longqiao, the wheat fields that the villagers of Longqiaobao had worked so hard to irrigate and plow were flattened by the Turks. They cut off the ears of wheat that were about to mature, leaving long straws, and set up tents in the wheat fields.

The cattle and sheep accompanying the army were scattered around the military tents, allowing them to eat the crops of the Tang people to their heart's content, while their war horses were tied in front of the tents to eat the harvested wheat.

Tang Qi came like a violent storm.

Taking advantage of the night, Huaiyu and the others killed him.

The Turks noticed that they were blowing the horn, but Yu Chigong still rode forward, and those who stood in his way were smashed to pieces.

Huaiyu ignited a palm thunder, which is a new product of Shenjifang. It was changed to a pottery bottle for medicine, and broken porcelain pieces and rotten iron nails were placed inside to increase the lethality. Even the medicine capacity has been increased a lot.

The primer has also been improved to make the combustion more stable.

Huaiyu threw it at the Turkic man opposite, with a bang, a spark bloomed in the dark night.

The warrior Ke used his legs to control the horse, and kept lighting one palm mine after another on the horse, throwing them at piles of Turkic people and their cattle and horses.

Yu Chigong roared and rushed, never turning back, all the way forward, and those who blocked the way died, he was like a sharp knife, going forward without hesitation, all the way through the Turkic camp outside the fort, and killed under the fort wall, the fort wall was destroyed in the daytime battle The Turks didn't repair the damage, just left it open.

A group of Turkic people tried to guard the gate of the fort. Yu Chigong was like a divine soldier descending from the sky. Ma Leng slammed left and right, hitting several people in succession. Another quick stab pierced a small officer, and the long lance penetrated him Yu Chigong's leather armor was as strong as a god, and he was lifted into the air.

Around Yu Chigong, there are smaller Xiong Bo, just like a group of black bears who went down the mountain to find food and strayed into the village, destroying everywhere.

They rushed into the fort and continued to rush forward along the river slope, ignoring the cave dwellings on the south bank of the fort, heading straight for the Dragon Bridge.

Roaring, he rushed down the river bank, stepped onto the Dragon Bridge, and continued to rush towards the opposite bank.

Fighting everywhere.

Huaiyu's [-] Shenji Battalion were not so tough, they always maintained a lineup, gathered as much as possible, and threw thunder and arrows at the same time.

When Huai Yu just rushed into the fort, Yu Chigong on the other side had already rushed out of the north gate of the fort on the other side, and headed towards the camp on the other side.

There were explosions one after another, screams everywhere.

The cavalrymen of the Shenji Battalion excitedly hacked and killed the fleeing Turkic soldiers. They were so stunned that they didn't even know how many Tang troops had come. Under Yu Chigong's rush, they didn't even have a chance to organize a resistance.

Turkic soldiers could not find officers and leaders, wives and children could not find husbands, soldiers could not find horses,
The loud explosions and the thunder in the palms stunned the Turkic warriors who had always boasted of being tough. Although they had heard about it a long time ago, they knew that the Tang people had mastered a weapon that made loud noises and flames, but the first time The first time I saw it, it fell on my head, and the confusion intensified the panic.

The flustered Turkic soldiers were purposefully dispersed by Tang Qi, and the desire to survive made these Turkic people flee instinctively.

This made them no longer have the chance to resist the Tang army, and the Turkic people running around were just the prey who fled in panic.

Ride across the Dragon Bridge and arrive at the North Shore.

Huaiyu looked at the familiar village, which looked dilapidated under the darkness of night. He and Lao Wu rode their horses to their yard. The place was in a mess. Turkic military officers had occupied the place. Lamb skeleton.

No Turks were found, only some leftover pots and bowls, and some looted items. In the cave dwelling where Huaiyu used to live, a group of women were also found imprisoned inside.

There are not only villagers from Longqiao Castle, but also some strange women.

They screamed in panic.

"Aunt Xu?"

Holding a torch in his hand, Huaiyu saw a screaming woman jumping up to bite her, her hair disheveled and her body covered in mud, but he still recognized that she was Xu Zhongyi's wife, the mother of the two foolish brothers.

Aunt Xu, who is under forty, is usually a strong and aggressive woman in the castle. She is strong in everything and is good at work, but she will be like a wounded and frightened wild boar.

"Two poles, come here, your mother is here."

Xu Jizu's house was not far away, and he rushed to his yard as soon as he crossed the shore, but he didn't see anyone.

"mother!"

After hearing her son's shout, Aunt Xu finally stopped. She looked at the soldier in full armor, dazed for a moment, and then recognized the familiar armor. It used to be her husband's, and later her son joined the Imperial Army instead, so she Putting on this pair of armor, she often wiped the armor before and repaired it several times, so she is very familiar with it.

"Son!"

Xu slumped on the ground all of a sudden.

The other women in the cave also came out, and when they saw that it was Tang Jun who had called back, they all began to cry.

Lao Wu came in on horseback, saw this scene, said a few words of comfort, and then told Huaiyu, "The Turkic people have already collapsed, let's hunt down a few more heads, avenge the villagers, and don't let them make a comeback Chance."

Huaiyu turned around and got on the horse, Xu Erganzi, Zhao Changsheng, Zhuzi and Zhao Mazi also said goodbye to them and got on the horse.

"Damn it to death." Xu Jizu's eyes were red, and he rushed out of the fort on his horse, looking for the Turkic defeated soldiers to vent his anger.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the call-in horn sounded.

Respectively return to Jujulongqiao Fort.

Wu Huaiyu, Lao Wu, and Xu Jizu all had several bloody heads hanging on their horses, and a string of Turkic captives tied with cowhide ropes was tied to the saddle.

Yuchi Gong led his soldiers back, and his soldiers were happily singing.

"Erlang, I, Aye, caught a Turkic blue wolf, and Ashi Dewu didn't swallow it. He is the leader of these 5000 people." Yuchi Baolin shouted excitedly.

This raid was very successful. Not only did they defeat the arrogant [-] Turkic tribes, but they also captured the leader Ashdev Wuchu, who was too late to escape.
After a simple screening, two blue wolves were also found, the Special Service Class Loser and the Special Service Rehan, two young Turkic royal children who followed to make some military exploits and also served as military supervisors, but it was too late to escape, and they were arrested together. captured.

While harassing the cattle and horses left by the Turkic people, another group of people came over.

It was the Li family village next door who heard about the battle here, and Xu Zhongyi and the others brought many Longqiaobao villagers among them.

When Lao Xu saw Lao Wu, he hurried over. After some inquiries, he found out how Longqiao Fort fell today.

The Turkic people came suddenly. Although Longqiaobao started to prepare for it two months ago and formed a township regiment, it also formed three township regiments with Lijiazhuang next door and several other villages, and established a patrol and alert mechanism. Help each other.

When facing a small group of Turkic rangers before, they did play a lot of roles, but this time five thousand came, and they came directly for Longqiao Fort, they were no opponents at all.

Fortunately, when Jieli and his team crossed the Jinghe River, Lao Xu, Liu Cunzheng and the others discussed and moved most of the women, children and children to the Li Family Manor next door, where the walls were even higher.

The Turks attacked suddenly, and there were not many people left in Longqiao Fort. Lao Xu and the others were unwilling to give up and wanted to defend with the fort wall, but they were breached by the Turks in less than an hour.

Lao Xu and other villagers bravely jumped into the river to escape, and some women who were still staying in the fort were captured.

Old Xu's family was reunited, and Aunt Xu hugged Old Xu and cried loudly. Although it was less than half a day before the thief fell into the hands of the thief, Aunt Xu, who was less than forty, was still ruined by Turkic wolf cubs. Still six.

Yu Chigong didn't pay attention to these things.

"Beheaded more than [-] wolf cubs and captured more than [-] wolf cubs. The rest of the wolf cubs were scattered in the field at night, and there was no time to search for them."

"Many cattle, sheep and horses were seized..."

Yu Chigong sat there holding a whetstone to sharpen the blade while listening to the report, and looked at the sky, it was still dark.

"Clean up and go east to Sanyuan County."

He didn't intend to defend Longqiao Fort. The fort was small and stood on both sides of the Qinghe River. The walls of the fort were not high and there was no danger.

It's not as good as Sanyuan County in the east, which is more suitable for garrisoning troops.

"Chairman, are you not going back to Jingyang?"

"The Jieli in Yunyang must have received the report. Maybe they are rushing here, or intercepting and ambush us on the way back to Jingyang. Let's go to Sanyuan instead of Jingyang. Be careful."

Yu Chigong was fierce when fighting, but he was not reckless in this meeting.

After winning the battle, he never underestimated the enemy.

After all, Jieli's small 10 horses are only twenty or thirty miles to the west, and they can be killed at any time.

A quick decision is a decision made before the war.

"Wu Qianniu, go and inform the Li family manor to evacuate to Sanyuan County immediately. The Turkic people will definitely come over soon. Although their Li family has Wubao, they can't prevent Xieli's army."

There are not only people from the Li family in the Li family manor, but also other villagers from Qinghe Township, including many villagers from Longqiaobao. Important members of the Li family have already gone to Chang'an, but there are still many who stayed behind.

Yu Chigong asked Huaiyu to notify him, and it was also for Li Jing's sake.

"Dalang, you go with Wu Qianniu and tell them to withdraw quickly, the Turkic people will come at any time."

This night attack came and went quickly, Yu Chigong didn't take any rest, so he moved immediately.Escorted the captives and drove the cattle and horses to Sanyuan County, more than ten miles away to the east.

Before leaving, he asked his subordinates to take all the wounded Turkic soldiers to the Qinghe River and chop them up. The corpses were thrown into the Qinghe River, and the water in the river was dyed red.

Old Xu's father and son gritted their teeth with red eyes, Aunt Xu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, just now she was about to jump into the river to seek death, but was brought back by Old Xu, and when they killed the wounded Turkic soldiers, the father and son took the knife and cut the blade, and their eyes were red. , splashed all over the body with blood.

War is so ruthless, there is no mercy at all after killing red eyes.

The night was black as ink.

Behind him, the Longqiao Fort, which used to be full of laughter and smoke, was dilapidated again, and the clear water of the Qinghe River was also stained red with blood, full of floating corpses.

Seeing all this, Huaiyu was glad that he brought the Wu family to Chang'an in advance, but also hated the Hulu invasion.

Longqiao Fort suffered this catastrophe, and more than 30 young and strong villagers were killed in battle, and many women were abused. Fortunately, many women and children were transferred to Lijiazhuang early, otherwise they would not be spared today.Fortunately, Huaiyu and the others killed them, otherwise Aunt Xu and the other captured women would be taken back to the grassland as slaves by the Turkic people.
