Chapter 582 Li Court Sweeping Points
Qin Lang performed in front of Kushan Valley for a day and shot 300,000 arrows, just for this moment.
The sound of the trumpets was heard from the north. Xue Wanche and Xi Jun bought the left and right vanguards. They were worthy of Qin Lang's fancy generals, and they were provoked by him before the battle.
They took a detour to the north and killed Tuyuhun by surprise.
Although there are only two thousand fine riders, they are better than one hundred thousand tigers and wolves at this time.
The deployment of the Tuyuhun people was all in the south, and the north entrance was already narrow and difficult. The Tuyuhun people didn't expect the Tang army to come far away, and they knew the terrain here better than Fu Yun. Qin Lang had already mastered the terrain here, and studied it for a long time. The second general Xue Xi was not dispatched at random today, that is the real killing move.
The second general rushed into the valley, obeyed Qin Lang's order, and did not seek to capture, let alone treasure, but rushed all the way. Two thousand elite riders played more flags, bluffed, and drove Tuyuhun, old and young, to an upside-down bead curtain.
They drove cattle, horses, and herdsmen, roaring all the way.
From north to south, like mountains and tsunami.
Qin Lang had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Seven thousand soldiers of the whole army stormed Nangukou at the cost of a generation.
Thousands of arrows fired to cover it, Qin Lang himself rushed forward with a shield and a knife, and everyone desperately used knives and axes to chop down trees, lifted stones, and tore open the blocked valley mouth bit by bit.
The people of Tuyuhun were in a state of panic, and kept looking back while shooting arrows.
Gao Kan personally held Qin Lang's huge handsome flag and rushed to the front, "Go in, go in!"
The two generals Liang Jianfang and Gao Zhensheng rushed in with cavalry.
Taniguchi, the rain of arrows was flying, and Tang Qi was constantly hit by arrows. Some fell down, and some were still rushing forward with arrows on their bodies. As long as they didn't die, they had to climb a few steps forward.
Fu Yun had already fled desperately when he discovered that the Tang army was attacking the valley from the north. Although the eldest prince Murong Shun persuaded him, the soldiers entering the valley from the north must be a small group of Tang cavalry. , Then you can encircle and suppress Tangqi in the valley.
But Fu Yun couldn't listen, and only hurriedly confessed that you came to the rear of the palace to guard Nangu, and then ran away with Zun Wang.
After Fu Yun's run, the tens of thousands of Tuyuhun soldiers at Nangukou were even more panicked.
Taniguchi has opened a hole, and the Tuyuhun people can no longer block it.
Liang Gaoer took the lead and led the cavalry to enter.
Zhang Chao led Qin Lang's horse, "Sanlang get on the horse!"
Qin Lang also had a few feathered arrows stuck in his body. Fortunately, he was wearing two layers of armor today, and all of them were the best treasure armor. kill.
That’s the case, Qin Lang, the commander in chief of the whole army and also the prime minister of the imperial court, takes the lead, how can any of the generals and soldiers below show weakness?
The whole army was aroused with an incomparable fighting spirit, and everyone screamed desperately, rushing forward one after another.
Qin Lang got on his horse, didn't care whether the arrows were wounded, and asked Zhang Chao to cut off the arrow shafts for him with a knife, and then rushed into the valley with the head of the leopard.
One hundred Turkic wolf guards and one hundred Khitan cavalry guarded Qin Lang closely.
At this time, no one paid any attention to the Tuyuhun people on the hillside of Gukou. Qin Lang only cared about one thing now. The whole army focused on Fu Yun's main force to fight, and what he wanted was to make the Tuyuhun people mess up and run.
Really fight hard, with nine thousand against one hundred thousand, Qin Lang may not have a chance to win, and if he wins, it must be a miserable victory. Therefore, the essence of using troops to deal with nomadic tribes is to run.
Stare at the opponent’s wolf leader and drive them to run, preventing them from organizing a counterattack, just like wolves.
After analyzing Fu Yun's actions, Qin Lang felt that this old guy was as cunning as a fox, but also as timid as a mouse. This guy never fought head-on with the army of the Central Plains Dynasty, even when he had an advantage. Last time, Cheng Yaojin Entering the country with five thousand riders, Fu Yun immediately ran away, which further explained all this.
Perhaps it was a natural fear of the Central Plains Dynasty.
The two cavalry soon met and joined forces in the valley.
"Keep going, don't worry about those fleeing enemies!"
Tang Qi was like a sharp horse-chopping knife, slashing constantly, cutting the resistance of the Tuyuhun people to pieces. Fu Yun escaped after all. The eldest prince intended to gather soldiers and horses to resist, but people were panic-stricken. Their resistance intention was blocked by Qin. After Lang was crushed several times, no one was willing to stay in the valley with him anymore.
Escape, flee desperately, flee from the north, flee from the south, or even climb up the mountains and over mountains, as long as you can avoid Tang Qi.
As night fell, piles of bonfires were lit in the valley.
The sporadic shouts of killing continued.
In the Khan's tent that Fu Yun had no time to take away when he fled, Qin Lang and other generals sat here to discuss the military affairs.
"The old thief escaped from Beikou, and Murong Shun was the rear guard to intercept him, which took us a lot of time. We defeated Murong Shun three times, and this guy got together and entangled three times. Fu Yun took the opportunity to escape and couldn't catch up."
Originally, he was staring at Fu Yun closely, and he was almost able to capture Fu Yun alive several times. The last time, he was only less than a hundred steps away from Fu Yun, and he could see the panicked eyes of this old guy.
Xi Jun Maiyuan also kept staring at Fu Yun, and he failed to capture Fu Yun, but at least he picked up a loophole and captured Daning King Murong Shun alive.
Duan Zhixuan and other generals each gained a lot.
Originally, Fu Yun had 100,000 horses, but he had ordered them to raid more than 10,000 people by the Qinghai Lake, seized 100,000 cattle and horses, and the remaining 80,000 people fled into the mountain. Scattered.
"The Tuyuhun people fled in a hurry. Most of the hay they had stored earlier, the cattle, horses and sheep that came here were too late to take away. Even Fuyun's golden-roofed tent was left to us. It is estimated that there are at least 200,000 livestock, not counting. Countless fodder, as well as tents, soufflés and dried meat, etc., and many arrows, knives and guns were also seized, and they were released."
After all, this is the Khan's stronghold, and the hoarding reserves are naturally very rich. Wherever the nomadic country goes, where the population and livestock wealth are brought, when running too hastily, most of the things fell into Qin Lang's hands.
Originally a hundred thousand people gathered together, and there were countless tribal families, large and small. There were more than 10,000 tents alone, as well as chariots and horses, felt blankets, cattle, sheep and horses, etc.
When fleeing, take everything and everything with you.
"Now I don't care about how many cattle, sheep and offal we seized, how much fur, milk and meat we seized, let alone how much gold, silver and jewelry we got. I only care about one problem. Where did Fu Yun go? We killed and wounded the prisoners again. How many Tuyuhun people?"
Qin Lang sat there, not smiling much.
By Qinghai Lake, one blow missed, only more than a thousand were beheaded, thousands were captured, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses were captured.
And this time in the battle of Kushan, Fu Yun escaped again.
This should not have happened. In this kind of valley, there would have been a great chance of capturing Fu Yun and the famous kings here alive.
Qin Lang's indifferent tone made the atmosphere in the tent tense instantly.
Duan Zhixuan was older, and he said, "King Daning's desperate attack on the rear made us unable to capture Fuyun Khan, but the favorable terrain of the Ku Valley allowed us to intercept many Tuyuhun people this time, and Fuyun fled Afterwards, we blocked the north and south entrances, and blocked nearly half of the Tuyuhun people in the valley. Up to now, most of the blocked tribes have surrendered, only a few troops are still fighting in the corner, but they are already unable to fly. Bright, and we can capture them all."
"According to the calculation, we have already gained a lot in this battle."
"But Fu Yun still ran away." Qin Lang said.
"Minister Xuan should not be too demanding. We captured the Great Prince Tuyuhun, killed more than 50,000 prisoners, and captured more than 200,000 cattle, horses and livestock. There is so much food and grass, what a great victory!" Zhang Shigui also persuaded.
This kind of gain is indeed extremely brilliant. If it was replaced by other generals, I would have been happy for a long time. Nine thousand broke one hundred thousand. Fu Yun threw away his helmet, abandoned his horse, abandoned his wife and children, and fled. It's brilliant, not to mention that there are so many captives and captures here.
Not to mention anything else, just the captured fodder, cattle and horses completely solved the Tang army's follow-up grain and grass problem, and there was no need to transport grain and grass from Longyou.
Qin Lang took a deep breath and adjusted his frustration.
"The two generals Duan and Zhang are right. I can't be too harsh on everyone. We won, a big victory, a big victory that belongs to us. The brothers ran for more than ten days, two battles and two victories, breaking the promise, today I am also exhausted, let's take a rest here first, the merits of the soldiers, you will record in the record room and join the army, and you will be rewarded for your merits in the future!"
At this time it was dark and it was hard to know the way, the soldiers and horses were exhausted, and the Ku Valley had to clean up the battlefield. Qin Lang also knew the truth of not chasing the poor, and was afraid of capsizing in the gutter.
So he ordered to guard the valley entrances on the north and south sides, and the soldiers slaughtered cattle and sheep, and had a good meal.
After victory, there are still too many things to do.
Not only to prevent the Tuyuhun people from counterattacking, but also to keep an eye on the tens of thousands of captives in the valley to avoid chaos.
Cleaning the battlefield, counting and seizing, inspecting, registering, decapitating and capturing, etc., and even simple identification and so on.
This night, the bonfire in the Ku Valley was not extinguished all night, and the valley was noisy all night.
At dawn, Qin Lang, who only squinted for two hours, inspected the valley, visited the wounded soldiers, also went to inspect the captured soldiers, and finally went to the prison camp.
"Bring Murong Shun."
"Master, we also found Murong Shun's mother, Fu Yun's Ke Dun, and Princess Guanghua from the previous dynasty."
"Then please come together." Qin Lang heard that Princess Guanghua was also there, so he used the word please.
In his opinion, no matter what, this Yang family is also worthy of the last invitation. Back then, it was the northwestern frontier of An'an, and the Sui Dynasty sent this young clan woman to marry outside the Great Wall. Since then, she has been away for a long time, and after the death of her first husband, according to their customs, she remarried to his younger brother Fu Yun.
It has been decades, and the daughter of the Chang'an clan back then is now a white-haired old woman.
But Qin Lang was still very surprised when he saw a middle-aged man and woman helping an old woman in a Han skirt, well-made up and calm.
He stood up and went forward to meet him.
"Qin Lang, a descendant of the Han family in the Central Plains, meet the princess, Princess Jin'an!"
Princess stood still and looked at Qin Lang. Hearing this, she was a little surprised. She bowed slightly, "Mr. Yang has seen Duke Qin."
