A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 619: Chasing Tie Jianshan

After all, Cao Guogong Li Ji came one step late.
Although Wu Huaiyu was further away than him, he came faster, but he didn't block Jieli either.

When he arrived, Jie Li had already left Heicheng and rushed to Iron Mountain.

The Youzhou Army rushed to Heicheng and broke through the city without much effort. They also learned from the prisoners that Jieli had gone to Tieshan and wanted to gather the defeated troops to wait for the loss of Shaboluo Khan Suni. After hearing this news, Wu Huaiyu didn't even wait for Su Lie and others in the south of Yinshan Mountain. He left some troops to garrison in Heicheng to intercept Jieli's defeated troops, and then led his light cavalry to continue chasing towards Tieshan despite the wind and snow.

If we don't win Jieli, the Northern Expedition will not succeed.

Nearly five hundred miles,
There was a vast expanse of white everywhere in the wind and snow,
Fortunately, there are Turkic guides to guide the way.
"The wind and snow are too heavy. Do you want to wait for the following soldiers and horses to converge before pursuing? If you go deep into the heart, it will be very dangerous to be ambushed by Jieli,"

Facing the general's persuasion, Wu Huaiyu laughed, "If Jie Li really had that kind of ability, he wouldn't have abandoned Dingxiang City on his own initiative, and he wouldn't have been beaten by Yuchi Gong and Su Liewan's cavalry with nearly 20 horses. Forsaking the armor,"

"Chase, Jieli is running around in panic now. If we don't chase him quickly, he may escape to Mobei or to the Western Region at any time. It will be difficult to catch him again."

There are no roads in the vast snowfield,

There's not even a direction.

The photo shows that if you come here in the summer, the sky is vast, the fields are vast, the green prairie, the blue sky and white clouds are beautiful, and there are flocks of cattle and sheep.

But now, apart from the endless snow, there are only dark clouds hanging low in the sky.
The wind was so bone-chilling that people would be blown away.

But none of these could stop Wu Huaiyu from determined to capture Jieli alive.

Fortunately, there were Turkic Qingqi led by Shetu as guides, as well as Mohe Fan cavalry, both of which were not very cold. Wu Huaiyu also took Youzhou Qingqi with him. The whole army unloaded unnecessary supplies in Heicheng and only carried them for 20 days. With dry food, they rode two horses and attacked the Iron Mountain five hundred miles away.

Select five thousand Turkic light cavalry, three thousand Youzhou fine cavalry, and two thousand Mohe Fan cavalry, a total of ten thousand light cavalry to attack Tieshan. The rest of the troops stayed in Heicheng to garrison and hunt down Jieli's defeated troops.

Travel two hundred miles a day,
Two days later we approached Iron Mountain,
On the north bank of Nuozhen Water,

The forward scout report found a Turkic tribe's winter pasture, and there were also Turkic warriors gathering there.
"how many people?"

"About a thousand accounts,"

Wu Huaiyu's body was a little stiff, and he rubbed his numb face.
"It seems that Jieli has indeed gone to Iron Mountain. When he passed by here, he must have awarded the Khan the Golden Arrow and gathered the tribes and troops,"

"Do you want to go around to avoid alerting the enemy?"

"No, it's just a thousand tents. Just surround them and annihilate them. Don't let them go." Wu Huaiyu didn't hesitate. They had thousands of elite cavalry and marched for two days and four hundred miles. Although they were very tired, they still had an advantage against more than a thousand tents. of.

"The whole army is suspended, take a rest, eat some solid food, and then launch an attack!"

The photographer asked him to lead the battle with [-] Turkic cavalry.

"Okay," Wu Huaiyu patted his shoulder. Although Jieli hasn't been captured yet, everyone now knows that Jieli is finished and the East Turkic Khanate is finished. Shetu is also a smart man, although he has long been with the Turks. Li is contrary to Jie Li, but now he still plans to perform well.

Dismount and stretch your muscles.

Chew some dried meat, or even drink a few sips of wine to warm yourself up.

There was thick snow on the ground and the north wind was howling.

If it were not for the Turkic cavalry as a guide, Wu Huaiyu would not have dared to go deep into the cave. In such a terrible weather, he would not even be able to figure out the direction.

After eating some dry food and stretching his hands and feet, Wu Huaiyu ordered to put on armor.

Even though the pictures showed that their Turkic cavalry could destroy the more than a thousand tents, Wu Huaiyu still asked everyone to take out the armor carried by the other horse.
The sword is unsheathed, the bow is strung,

Put on the iron armor and put on the brocade robe outside.
The whole person is heavier and bulkier, and even the cold armor makes people feel colder.

After taking pictures and asking for instructions, he returned to his formation. In the wind and snow, An Lushan was also riding beside him.

Five thousand Turkic cavalry, leaving their own horses behind, headed towards the Turkic camp in the snow and wind.
with no doubt,

When five thousand Turkic cavalry slowly appeared in the Turkic camp in the wind and snow, the Turks thought they were friendly troops. They were still confused until the photo was taken of them slowly approaching a close distance and suddenly launching a charge.

But when the arrows were flying and the swords and axes were hacking, they realized that something was wrong.

Screams, horns, shouts, questions,

Eventually it turned into screams,

Li Tudiji and Wu Fuyu each led a thousand Mohe and Fan cavalry to flank them on both sides, and five thousand Turkic light cavalry repeatedly charged and killed them in the camp.

Soon all the rebels fell in the snow, and the remaining ones lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.
Some people wanted to escape, but they just rushed into the wind and snow, and were quickly driven back by the Mohefan riders.
Shetu brought several Turks to Huaiyu, all of whom were leaders in the camp. One of them, Wu Huaiyu, knew him, Zhi lost his ability to think.

This person is also Jie Li's confidant, and he is also Qi Jin, the leader of the four major Blue Turk tribes.

When he was escorted to Wu Huaiyu, Zhi lost his mind and was in a very embarrassed state. There was an arrow stuck in his body that he couldn't pull out in time, and there were stab wounds on his face.

"Isn't this just a mistake? Why are you here? Jieli Khan didn't take you with him?"

Zhi lost his mind and lowered his head in shame.

He separated from Jieli at the foot of Baidao City, and later fled to Black Castle, where he rejoined Jieli and followed him to Iron Mountain.When passing by this tribe's winter camp, Jieli asked Zhihusi to stay and gather his troops here. Zhihusi supported the loyal ones and stayed. As a result, more than a thousand tents were gathered.

Wu Huaiyu came to kill, and the leader was the Turks themselves.

In fact, Zhi lost his thoughts and was too exhausted along the way, so that he neglected to take precautions. Who could have expected that Tang Jun could catch up here so quickly.

There are still defenders in the Black City.

"Please also ask Zhichu Qijin to lead the way for me to meet Jieli Khan together."

I lost my mind and lowered my head,

Zhaotu pushed him rudely, and An Lushan even put a knife on his neck, "If you don't understand, I will send you to the West!"

Zhi lost his mind and became angry, "If you want to kill, then kill!"

Wu Huaiyu stepped forward and first pulled out the feather arrow from Zhi Feng Si Li's body, then untied the cowhide rope from his body, patted the snow dust for him, and checked his injuries, "The injury is not serious, bandage it." Just take it, take it internally and externally, it won’t cause any trouble.”

Zhi lost his mind and crossed his hands to thank Huaiyu.

"I have lost my fortune. I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sent two envoys to have a good talk with Jieli Khan. As a result, Jieli Khan was very rude and detained both of our envoys.

The saint was very unhappy in Chang'an. He specially ordered me and other military leaders to come to inquire and take back the envoy. By the way, he also took Jieli Khan back to Chang'an and asked him to explain to the saint face to face.

Please also ask Zhi Shiqi Jin to lead the way,"

Zhi lost his mind and hesitated for a while, but finally had no choice but to agree.

The situation was like this, and there was nothing he could do. He couldn't really ask for a quick fix, and he wasn't that willing.

"Killing cattle and sheep, we will rest here tonight, and everyone will have a good meal and warm themselves by the fire."

Jieli's troop gathering camp, which had just been turned into a Shura field, soon became a temporary rest camp for the Tang army. Many of the dead and injured horses, as well as the cattle and sheep in the camp, were directly slaughtered.

The dried dung stored by herders in the camp also became fuel for stew.
Youzhi lost his mind, Qi Jin took the lead. The surviving Turks here surrendered quite happily, and the injured were even bandaged by the army doctors.
While the soldiers were eating large chunks of meat and drinking soup, several groups of Turks and horses arrived in the wind and snow. They were all nearby nomadic tribes that had received recruitment orders before. As a result, they ran in and were immediately surrounded and made prisoners.

When those people saw Zhi Huai Si Li and Zhao Tu together, they were still confused. When they heard that Wu Huaiyu was also here, their faces were as white as snow.

But now that I'm here, I can't leave again.

Fortunately, as long as they were willing to surrender, Wu Huaiyu was still very polite and even gave them stew to eat.
After finishing the stew, you can also have a pot of hot milk tea.

A hundred miles away from Tieshan, in this small valley leeward, Wu Huaiyu and the others had enough to eat and drink, and slept very comfortably by the fire in the tent.

After leaving Wubao in Guizhou, we marched in the wind and snow for many days. This was the most comfortable night.

At dawn, the entire army continued to set out and attack.

In half a day, they reached Iron Mountain.

Tieshan, also known as Tiejian Mountain.

Jieli fled all the way here, and not long after he settled down, he sent Shuba envoys to Dingxiang to ask for peace from the Tang army. At the same time, he also sent many wolf guards attached to them, holding arrows to gather the defeated soldiers everywhere, recruit soldiers, and even Shabo Luohan Suni, who was stationed west of the Gahelan Mountain, was lost and asked for help.

For a time, he gathered some people, plus some herdsmen, miners, etc. from Tieshan, which at least saved Jieli from having to flee in the snow for the time being. There was roast mutton, hot milk tea, and even women.

It's warm inside the tent, but the cold wind howls outside,
Photo taken with Yuwen Chengdu, An Lushan and others, and only three hundred elite cavalry, quietly reached the Tieshan camp through the wind and snow.
They are wearing Turkic costumes, and next to the picture is Zhi Los Si Li,

He yelled at the Turkic soldiers at the entrance of the camp from a distance, "I have lost my mind and brought good news to the Great Khan,"

There was a sharp wolf guard attached to the camp gate. He recognized Zhi and Wansili at a glance. They had just parted two days ago. They knew he was recruiting troops a hundred miles away and had no doubts about him.

The camp door opens,

You Fuli Wolf Guard asked him, "Zhi lost Qi Jin, what good news is it? Let us also cheer up."

"This damn weather, those damn Tang people, we can't wait to hear the good news."

Zhi Shen Si Li rode in the front, followed by She Tu, An Lushan and the others. Three hundred horses successfully entered the camp. They walked away from the wolf guard and walked up to Zhi Shen Si Li, thinking of saying hello and hearing the good news. ,
As a result, at the next moment, the photo behind Zhi Huan Si Li had already stabbed out, provoking the attachment, and the two young generals Yuwen Chengdu and An Lushan also shouted, "Kill."

Three hundred elite cavalry stormed into the camp,
boom!
Boom!

The thunderbolts were thrown one after another, and they exploded loudly in this gloomy and dark afternoon.

Three hundred riders charged all the way to the Golden Wolf tent.

And when he heard the thunder in the distance, Wu Huaiyu also immediately waved his horse and led his army to cover up the attack.

It went more smoothly than expected, and we entered the camp so easily.

So what are you waiting for? Kill.
