Chapter 266 Battle Miyun

In Yuyi Town, after receiving the order from Li Chongjiu to dispatch troops, he heard that he was going to send troops. Although the generals did not understand why they did not attack Zhuo County, but Anle County, for the generals who had been preparing for a long time, no matter which target they were, they were already impatient.

During the order of transfer, Li Hu ordered Ying Hefu, Sun Erniang, Ertuo, Tudiji, Cui Xu and Yan to mobilize the six commanders. Each of the four divisions of the grassland sent out 3,000 cavalry. Tan Zong led the Wansheng Army and Wang Mahan's Tuqi Group to join, a total of 15,000 troops went south to attack Anle County.

Li Hu personally led the army to command the army, Wen Yanbo and Ji Chuan were the marching Sima, Ertuo, and Ying Hefu volunteered to be the vanguard to go first.

The western Liaoning side suddenly found 3,500 soldiers, Cui Xu of Dingling clan, and Zhao Que'er, the commander of Liaoxi County, sent 500 soldiers from Liucheng, with a total of 6,000 troops. Tudiji was the general, and Zhao Que'er was the deputy general, attacking Yuyang County, threatening the flanks of Gaokaidao Army.

As for Shanggu County, Huaihuang Town, and Yanmen, the Han army remained unmoved, not only guarding against the Turks on the grassland, but also serving as a reserve team for the subsequent order.

From Yuyi Town to Anle County, there are all mountains and steep mountains, and the army follows the ancient Guhe Road. When we arrive at Xiguan, this is a key military camp. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been an important road to guard against the invasion of nomadic peoples in the north.

Xiguan is today's Gubeikou. After leaving this pass, it was the territory of the Xi people, so it was called Xiguan. In fact, it was also guarding against the Xi people's invasion south, so all generations built the Great Wall here. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, the pass was rebuilt here, as the east extension of the Shangji Surrounding during the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As the vanguard, Etuo led a large army to Xiguan before he saw that there were soldiers guarding the pass, which was beyond Etuo's expectations. Although Gao Kaidao was not short of men and soldiers, he was stationed in such a steep and remote place to defend. It was inconvenient to transport food, and the food that one person ate would be consumed half the time.

It is hard to imagine that such a bandit like Gao Kaidao, they would have to spend this effort to garrison here.

But when things come to an end, we can only make plans to break through the barrier. This Xi Pass is a natural danger based on the Yanshan Mountains. If we attack for a force, we can only walk the sheep intestines at the foot of the mountain to the barrier. No matter how many people there are, they will not be able to perform.

This pass is called Xiguan, and as the vanguard, Etuo. Yinghefu naturally knew that this pass was not easy to attack. So Etuo used the number of deceiving surrenders and personally led thirty subordinates to drive hundreds of horses to act as shepherds who entered the pass and sold. The defenders were deceived and put the pretended shepherds Xi warriors in. As a result, Etuo raided the defenders and fought outside the city and took Xiguan.

After taking down these people, they were sent to Li Hu's central army. After being interrogated, they learned that these people were the original Great Wall garrison. After Anle County fell, they refused to rebel, so they lived in the deep mountains. They raised their wives and children and built their own camps to defend themselves. Because the news in the mountains was blocked, they did not know about Li Chongjiu's establishment in the south of the desert, nor did they know what the world was going on. They just waited patiently for the court to quell the rebellion.

Li Hu pardoned them and let them go home. The garrison troops were grateful and were willing to act as scouts to guide Li Hu's army and attack Gao Kaidao.

After hearing this, Li Hu was overjoyed and asked them to guide the army forward. So Etuo Yinghefu took them as the leader and came to Yanle County, the capital of Anle County.

There are two counties in Anle County. Yanle County is said to be a county town, but when Gao Kaidao attacked this city, he fought fiercely, and the city had already been destroyed. Now Xie Lengyan, the general under Gao Kaidao, forced the people of Yanle to set up a camp in a valley not far away, blocking the entrance of the valley, building houses and farming in it.

After Etu, Ying Hefu cavalry arrived, Etu led 3,000 light cavalry in order to compete for the merits. Before the Ying Hefu army was waiting for the horses to untied their saddles, they raided the mountain village. After Etu's battle, Etu almost broke the village. Later, Xie Lenggu led the dead soldiers to resist bravely. After the fierce battle between the two sides, Etu was repelled, with nearly a hundred casualties.

After Yinghefu led his army to arrive, he observed the situation in the valley and found that the valley was covered with mountains on all sides, and there was only one side for transportation. After losing the opportunity in the first battle, the price of attack was not reduced.

So Yinghefu observed the formation and decided to set fire on one side of the hillside, and use the wind to blow thick smoke into the valley. Yinghefu's plan was successful, and the valley was filled with thick smoke. Xie Lengyan was defeated and fled from the secret passage of the valley with hundreds of elites. Yinghefu, and now he collected nearly ten thousand people in the valley.

After capturing Yanle, Ying Hefu and Ertu came to Miyun County. Xie Len led his army to escape into the city and defended to the death. After Li Hu's army came to Qi, he began to attack the city. Ertu attacked the south gate, Ying Hefu attacked the north gate, and he led his army to attack the east gate.

The enemy troops in the city saw that the Cangtou army was powerful and were all frightened. Xie Lengyan drove all the people in the city to defend the city to strengthen his courage.

There were eight thousand households in Anle County. After Gao Kaidao came, he killed all the big households in the county. The rest were poor and small households, but there were still many households, and there were almost 20,000 people in the city. After Xie Lengyan got up to the city, he drove all the people in the city to go up to the city to boost his courage. The people threw rocks, tincture oil, and wood on the city. If anyone was afraid of retreating, they would be killed in the face of the battle.

After two days of attack, there was no result. At this time, he learned that Gao Kaidao had led a large army to arrive. After Yan Le lost his life, Gao Kaidao had heard the news. On the other hand, Zhang Jinshu led his army to stay in Yuyang, leading two thousand elite cavalry, five thousand armored, and ten thousand young and strong auxiliary troops arrived and lined up in the west of Miyun City.

Seeing that Gao Kaidao Army was so powerful that Li Hu did not continue to attack the city and retreated Miyun...

The next morning, the autumn wind was slaying. The people who guarded the city in Miyun County yesterday slept in the city for a night, and then they were awakened by the biting autumn wind in the morning.

Early in the morning, the fierce soldiers in the city carried out baskets of steamed buns and placed them in front of the city people. The white steamed buns were piled up like a hill, and there were also large wooden barrels of pork soup on the side, full of oil flowers. They only ate a meal of wild vegetables and porridge when they saw these.

The soldiers threw the basket and shouted: "Eat it, eat it, eat it, keep it full!"

With the permission of the soldiers, these people rushed forward and swallowed the food. After most of them had enough wine and food, the rumbling drums sounded in Miyun City.

After eating, the people were all driven to the dark city gate by Gao Jun soldiers with gun bars. The city gate was crowded with people and everyone was breathing together. Then the city gate suddenly opened, and the people's eyes lit up and the suspension bridge fell.

The people were pushed out, and large areas of unarmed people under the city were wearing gray clothes, burying their heads forward. Behind these nearly ten thousand people were cavalrymen holding scimitars and dark iron armor, leaving the city one after another. Behind the iron cavalry, there were the main force of 5,000 infantrymen at Gaokaidao.

In front of the people was the Cangtou Army camp with deer antler trenches.

The people suddenly understood something, but everyone knew that behind them were the cavalry holding butchers' knives, and they could only bury their heads forward. They picked up all the wooden sticks, iron pliers, sickles, and stones that they could hold, trying to arm themselves, regardless of whether it was useful or not, and they held tightly like holding a life-saving straw.

Even though we know that there are many good and bad luck in front of us, no one in this world will be spared from fate and try to try hard in this rolling tide, although most people will be slapped into the water by the huge waves behind us.

Nearly ten thousand people, as front troops, were driven to the Cangtou Army. At this time, the soldiers in the camp raised their bows and waited for the general's orders.

When the distance was less than one mile, the cavalry of the Gao army behind them waved their sabers and killed hundreds of old and weak behind the palace. Driven by this, the people's advancement suddenly accelerated. They had just had enough food, so they still had this strength.

At the same time, there were also screams of crying among the people.

"We are not traitors!"

"We are innocent!"

"Good, don't kill us!"

"We don't want to die!"

The women and children raised their infants and shouted loudly to the soldiers opposite.

The thin and white-haired old man raised his hands and shouted to the sky. The boy was driven forward by the person behind him with a expressionless face.

Looking down from a high altitude, a black line is approaching.

"The former army abandoned the camp!"

This order was suddenly issued from the Central Army's flag.

After hearing this, the front army in the camp was unbelievable. When the above orders were ordered like this, they just waited to give up. At this moment, the front army all retreated back to the central army camp.

When the people saw that there were no bows and arrows in the camp, they were all overjoyed. They all took the deer antlers, threw the caltrops away, crossed the trench, climbed over the wooden wall, and rushed into the camp.

"Left Army, Right Army attack!"

While the people were accelerating their advance, the Central Army issued an order, and the cavalry of Ying Hefu, Ertuo and Yan Yelei surrounded them from the left and right wings and attacked the cavalry behind the bandits.

There were nine thousand cavalrymen in the three divisions, and the grassland cavalry were all light cavalry and had no rules to fight. They were clustered on the left and right, covering the sky and the ground, spreading from the two wings, like the wings of a geese.

When Gao Kaidao saw the Nine Thousand Cavalry arrive, he immediately ordered the iron cavalry in front to retreat, while the five thousand infantry wearing strong armor lined up in a tight formation and pushed forward.

The grassland cavalry saw that the infantry was as strong as a mountain, and they did not dare to rush forward. They were galloping through their wings, and immediately set off bows and arrows, and shot arrows into the enemy formation.

The five thousand infantrymen of the Gaokaidao Army were all wearing armor and holding long shields wrapped in iron sheets, so the damage caused by riding a bow was very small. Instead, they were powerful crossbows in the formation, and they could counterattack from a distance, and the ranger suffered a loss at the moment.

As for those forced people, they all squeezed into the camp. Seeing that the people were hiding in the front military camp and did not continue to move forward, Li Hu immediately ordered the central army to use the banner of the Central Army, Ying Hefu, Ertuo, and Yan Yelie, and led the cavalry to turn around and attack the 10,000 auxiliary troops behind Gao Kaidao.
