Luo Yi’s first feeling when he saw the Khitan camp was that there were so many people that he couldn’t count them, and the second was that it was messy and messy.
Qidan is still in the era of tribal alliance. Although it is divided into divisions, each department has various heads, large and small, so once the army gathers, it is very messy.
Holding a green cow and a white horse, the Khitan Khan congratulated Duh Luo. In addition to giving the order to the hand, the external root method of Yili Corydalis made the Qidan conquest, and many scattered people in the Shiwei Baiqi tribe also came to fish in troubled waters.
Therefore, it is urgent to check the military forces in place step by step. There are more than 100,000 troops in Qidan alone. It is not enough to count all the ropes in Qidan according to the method of recording the knots.
Looking at the Khitan people, it’s so noisy. There are dozens and hundreds of tribal units scattered here. Where is the high way? It’s a glance at the mouth. Luo Yi directly disdains Sui Jun to lead a captain lang from the long queue and rank the generals one by one.
Look at Li Chongjiu’s army across the street, and you will know that more than 20,000 people marched in an orderly way. The Zhongjun mobilized a group of 200 people with a banner like an armband, and the troops marched in an array. Each team and each regiment had rules and regulations.
Of course, Luo Yi is confident that he will be better than Li Chongjiu for more than 20 years. He will see several minor shortcomings in Li Chongjiu’s camp, but it is a pity that he has a thousand troops in his hand.
Thought of here, Luo Yi couldn’t help sighing and lamenting the old bad luck.
In the face of such a situation, the Khitans finally found a solution. It turns out that even without culture, the living will not suffocate in urine, and the Khitans have their own wisdom.
Dahe Duh Luosheng surrounded a piece of land in the middle of the land, and then ordered the soldiers to enter from behind, and one hundred people were released from the front. After that, according to the Turkish military system, one hundred people per hundred lives were long.
Finally, the Khitans had more than 1,100 centaurs, and Luo Fu was in charge of each of them. Although Luo Yi looked down on the organizational discipline of the Khitans, he didn’t dare to look down on them when he saw that the Khitan cavalry looked tough.
After pressing the camp, Luo Yi heard the horn blaring in the distance.
This horn sounded loud and loud, and then a dozen of the same horns sounded together, which was quite earth-shattering at first sight.
The qidan foot soldiers all ran out of the tent to see the horn resounding, and then a big banner rose like a white cloud from the back of a distant mountain and gradually covered the whole mountain.
In the camp, Li Chong’s nine generals are discussing the military situation, and suddenly they hear the huge horn horn in the distance, which sounds like a fierce beast roaring.
When I heard that the three main forces of the Xi nationality had arrived in Li Chongjiu, the generals immediately stopped the military discussion to climb the mountain and watched the array. The distant mountains were densely covered with all kinds of large white and black alleys, and the Xi cavalry rolled back and forth like a big river digging a dike.
Ding Hanjun, a member of the Xi clan’s three divisions, knew nothing about the details of the Xi clan’s three divisions. When Li Lihan sent the general of the Mukun Xi division here, Li Chongjiu, the general, told the details of the Xi clan’s three divisions.
First of all, the Wuzhumuqin grassland is full of lush vegetation, which humiliates the king’s soldiers. Especially, it is the dream of every grassland warrior to guide the horse well.
Wuzhumuqinma is a famous horse among the Turkic horses. It is hard-working, hungry, thirsty, hot and cold-resistant. It runs fast and has long strength, which insults the king’s more than 20 thousand cavalry, and everyone rides it.
Of course, riding on the Wuzhumuqin horse is also the fastest and most long-distance cavalry in the grassland, and even the Turks are afraid of insulting the soldiers of the king’s department
Li Chongjiu followed the general of Mukun Xi’s department and pointed to the five colors woven in the distance, that is, humiliating the king’s department, which was given to him by Khan Turk in those years. Li Chongjiu thought a little when he saw the humiliating king’s army.
Then the other party went on to introduce the other two horses, Mohafchi. Although they were not as humiliating as the King’s Department, they also had their own characteristics.
Mohefu is said to be the best at animal husbandry among the five Xi tribes. Besides cattle, sheep and horses, Mohefu likes to raise tapirs.
Li Chongjiu couldn’t help but be surprised to hear that pigs were pigs. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Han people preferred beef and mutton to pork, and even if there were pigs, it was not a feeding method, but generally stocking (note 1)
Of course, Mohafu pigs are carnivorous clothes. Both Mohafu kill pigs and worship pigs. According to General Mu Kun, many foot soldiers in the other race tattoo pig patterns.
Listening to each other say that Li Chongjiu, a Chinese general, laughed and said that there is such a quirk. In Weichi Gong’s words, it was indeed a group of dogs.
Li Chongjiu also smiled, but he knew that the worship of tapirs in the Tungusic tribe was not uncommon. The Manchu language of the Tatar Emperor Nuerhachi means wild boar skin, and the younger brother Shu ‘erhaqi means small wild boar skin, and the two brothers are collectively called big and small wild boar skins.
Li Chong-jiu looks at this Mohe Fu cavalry, and most of them are wearing wild boar’s teeth and pheasant’s tail ornaments, all of which are made of wild boar’s skin. It is known that the wild boar’s skin is hard, so the wild boar’s skin is not as hard as the real armor, but it is much harder than the general leather armor.
In the Ministry of Qi, it is located in the northernmost part of the Xi nationality. Not only the Han people but also the Xi people’s Ministry don’t know much about it. It is said that their clan Bai Ti is very harmonious, and the clan’s female is also very brave and often fights with her husband.
This time, according to the scouts of the Qidan expedition, there were also two or three thousand women riding and marching in the Ministry.
Mohe Fauci’s two departments each sent more than 10,000 troops this time, humiliating the king’s department with more than 50,000 troops.
When the Xi cavalry arrived in the plain from the valley with arrows in their felt shirts, the Khitans in Shanqidan were very powerful. The Khitans also blew horns to welcome friendly troops.
All over the mountains, the Khitan soldiers cheered, and the Khitan people lifted the axe, sledgehammer and mace, tore open the chest skins and began to shout as if they had won a great victory.
Seeing this scene, all the generals of the Han army have a worried look on their faces, and they said to Li Chongjiu, "If Khan doesn’t lead the army, I’m afraid our morale will be shaken."
"It’s true that our current military strength is insufficient for the Khitan Xi people to confront each other."
"Yes, whether to send troops to the west to search and meet one! I think it must be the news that the Khitans are blocking the truth. "
Li Chongjiu heard the words silently.
On the other hand, Li Chongjiu’s Han military camp was very quiet and indifferent, and it seemed to be terrified, which made the Khitans throw their weight around for a while.
After the meeting, the Khitan Xi people were demoralized. When the Khitan Xi people Luo Yi Gao Kaidao and others held military discussions to discuss the decisive battle.
Several leaders of the Khitan Xi nationality did not pay much attention to Luo Yi’s Gao Kaidao and Serenade.
Congratulations, Duh, Luo, this time the leader didn’t insult the king’s department, but there were opinions when it was full. In front of everyone, he said rudely, "You two Han generals also have thousands of horses in two counties, right? How did you bring this person this time?"
Luo Yi is not disdainful, but also because he is so unfamiliar. More importantly, he doesn’t understand Turkic, but he is somewhat familiar with Yuyang County. When he was in Yuyang County, he wanted to use Turkic to gain momentum for himself.
This time, I contacted the Xi people, Khitan, to cut down Zhuo County in the middle, and he also had liaison work.
Gao Kaidao said in an idiomatic Turkic language, "Our former warring subordinates of Li Chongjiu lost a lot. I lost Anle County and Luo Xiong lost Zhuojun, but it is true that we still have thousands of pawns, but we still threaten the enemy’s rear route. If the enemy doesn’t fight with us quickly, our troops will take the initiative to cut off the rear road of Liaoxi County."
"joke!" W full directly denounced "that Li Man’s hands are cavalry, and your step army moves very slowly, such as cutting off the route for providing foodstuff."
Gao Kaidao didn’t expect the other party to be familiar with the art of war, saying, "After a long time, it will definitely show flaws. There are enough military forces here, and we will get more results if we leave a military force behind."
"You Han people are timid and afraid of death!" A general of the Xi nationality hummed and made a judgment without regard to Gao Kaidao’s words.
Gao Kaidao smell speech also want to say a few words, but see a fan face when discretion is no longer words at the moment he is somewhat envious of Luo Yi also don’t understand a word of Turkic.
Luo Yi see high escorting look sneer at Chinese low say with smile "so people don’t know Li thief badly let them touch nails or when the time comes these people will know how to respect the old".
Gao Kaidao shook his head and said in a low voice, "Rocco, I don’t think this situation is right. The name is Li Xiao, but it’s only 40 thousand troops. The Khitan Xiren is stupid again. You can also beat the Khitan Xiren when the time comes. What should we do? Isn’t it even less important? "
Luo Yi also nodded his head at the words of Gao escorting.
Note A history said that Tuoba GUI plundered more than 100,000 horses, cattle and sheep in Xi, and that there were large-scale pig raising in Xi at that time.
Chapter three hundred and seventeen Spears and shields
When Gao Kaidao and Luo Yi thought deeply,
He Duh Luo spoke, "You haven’t dealt with Li Man. I don’t know if he’s good. Although we are outnumbered, that’s all the young people in our conscription family."
"Then how do we fight?"
"Although the goshawk is a formidable hunter, we should also seize the weakness of the goshawk by relying on many people. Look at Li Chongjiu’s left and right wings. Ding Jun is a weak brigade. Let’s break these two first and then come back to pick up his central Han army." He Duh Luo Shen said.
