Chapter 316: The Three Parts of the Xi Clan

Li Chongjiu did not fight, while the Khitan coalition on the other side had already arrived, and Luo Yigao led a thousand elite cavalry to meet each other.

When Luo Yi saw the Khitan camp, the first thing he felt was that he could not count the heads of the people, and the second one was that he was disorganized and dirty.

The Khitan was still in the tribal alliance era. Although it was divided into eight divisions, there were still leaders of all sizes of all sizes under each division. Therefore, once the army gathered, the people were crowded and very chaotic.

The Khitan Khan Dahe Duluo, who held the blue cow and white horse, could not pass the orders down like a finger, except that he could convey the orders to his eight Yilijin under his command. Moreover, in order to conquer western Liaoning, the Khitan also brought many scattered tribes in the Wei, Baishi and Moshi tribes, and they also came to take advantage of the situation to rob.

Therefore, checking the troops and horses and taking positions according to the order has become an urgent task. Now there are more than 100,000 people and horses alone. According to the previous method of knotting ropes, it is not enough to hold all the ropes of the Khitan in one place.

Seeing the Khitans so chaotic, dozens and hundreds of people scattered in tribes, there was a group of people here, Gao Kaidao just glanced at him with his mouth, and Luo Yi was directly disdainful. The Sui army was the commander of the team, the commander of the team, the brigade leader, the captain, the general, and the general went up one level at a time, with a clear order of positions.

If you look at the Li Chongjiu army opposite, you will know that more than 20,000 people are moving in an orderly manner. The central army's banner is mobilized to a regiment of 200 like an arm and finger. The troops are all marching in an array, and there are rules and regulations for each regiment.

Of course, Luo Yi was confident that he would lead the troops himself and have been in the army for more than 20 years, and he would definitely be better than Li Chongjiu. At least he could see the subtle shortcomings of Li Chongjiu's camp, but so what? No matter how good his military strategy is, unfortunately he only has a thousand men under him.

Thinking of this, Luo Yi couldn't help but sigh to the sky, and couldn't help but lament why I was not lucky.

Faced with such a situation, the Khitans finally found a solution. It turns out that even if they are not educated, living people will not suffocate to death. The Khitans also have their own local wisdom.

Dahe Duluo used a rope to surround a piece of land in the center of the ground, and then ordered his soldiers to enter from the back, and released one hundred people from the front at every point. Then, according to the Turkic military system, a hundred people were appointed for each hundred people.

In the end, the Khitans had more than 1,100 100 teams, with the eight-bu Yilijin and Dahe Duluo and his son each leading a 100 100 teams. Although Luo Yi looked down on the organization and discipline of the Khitans, he saw that the Khitan cavalry were all fierce in appearance, but he did not dare to underestimate them.

After pressing the camp, Luo Yi heard the whimpering sound of the ox horn in the distance.

The sound of the ox horn is rough and loud, and then more than a dozen of the same ox horns also rang out, responding to it. It felt quite shocking when you heard it.

The Khitan soldiers all ran out of the tent and looked at the resounding horns. Then they all stood tall and rose from behind the distant mountain like white clouds, gradually covering the entire mountain.

In the camp, Li Chongjiu and the general were discussing military information. Suddenly, they heard the sound of a huge horn in the distance of the mountain. From a distance, they could hear it as if some ferocious beast was roaring.

Upon hearing that the main forces of the three tribes of the Xi tribe arrived, Li Chongjiu and the generals immediately stopped the military discussion and climbed up to a high place to observe the formation. They saw that the distant mountains were covered with various white and black crows. The cavalry of the Xi tribe in the valley was like a big river digging a dam, rolling in front and behind.

The three Xi tribes, Marin, Ding Ling, and the Han soldiers were not very clear about the details of the Xi tribe. At present, the generals of the Mukun Xi tribe sent by the Han Han from Qiuli here reported to Li Chongjiu and the generals of the Xi tribe.

First of all, the soldiers of the King of the Yuhu tribe who were born on the Wuzhumuqin grassland with lush grassland. They are all skilled in bows and horses, especially the Wuzhumuqin horses under their crotch. To guide the good horses and bows themselves, they are all the pursuits of the grassland warriors' victory, and being able to get a Wuzhumuqin horse is what every grassland warrior dreams of.

The Wuzhumuqin horse is a famous species among Turkic horses. It has a character of hard work, hunger, thirst, heat and cold. It runs fast and vigorously. Among the more than 20,000 cavalrymen of the King of the Suihe tribe, everyone is riding under their crotch.

Of course, the soldiers of the King of the Emperors riding the Wuzhumuqin horse were also the fastest running on the grassland and the most capable of raiding cavalry from the long-distance. Even the Turks were a little afraid of the King of the Emperors.

Li Chongjiu followed the general of Mukun Xi tribe and saw the big woven flags in the distance, which were the big silhouettes of the King of the King of the Wukun tribe in the distance. This big silhouette was given to him by Shibi Khan Turks to rule the five tribes of the Xi tribe. Li Chongjiu felt a little thought when he saw the military appearance of the King of the King of the Wukun tribe.

Then the other party introduced the other two parts, Mo Hefu, and Qi's two parts. Although the war horses were not as good as the King of the King of the Suihe tribe, they also had their own characteristics.

The Mohefu tribe is said to be the tribe that is best at animal husbandry among the five tribes of the Xi tribe. In addition to cattle, sheep and horses, the Mohefu tribe likes to raise pigs the most.

Li Chongjiu was surprised to hear that pigs were pigs. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Han people liked beef and mutton, but did not like to eat pork. Even if there were pigs, they did not use breeding methods, and they were generally free-range (Note 1).

Mohefu people, of course, raise pigs to eat meat and coat them with skins. Mohefu all kill pigs and worship pigs. According to General Mukun, many soldiers in the other clan tattooed the pig patterns on their bodies.

After hearing what the other party said, Li Chongjiu and his Han generals laughed and said that there was no such quirk. In the words of Yuchi Gong, they were indeed a group of pigs and dogs.

Li Chongjiu also smiled, but he knew that worshiping pigs was not rare in Rudongyi tribe and even Tungus tribe. Even the Great Tartar Emperor Nurhaci meant wild boar skin in Manchu language, while his brother Shurhaci meant small wild boar skin, and the two brothers collectively called large and small wild boar skin.

Li Chongjiu looked at the Mohefu cavalry, mostly wore wild boar teeth and pheasant tails as crowns. They were all wearing leather armor and leather shields made of wild boar skin. Those who have hunted know that wild boar skin is hard, so although leather shield made of wild boar skin is not as good as iron armor, it is much harder than ordinary leather armor.

As for the Qige tribe, it is located at the northernmost part of the Xi tribe. It is not only the Han people, but also the Xi people don’t know much about it. I heard that their tribe is very harmonious with Bai Shi, and the clan leader and Bai Shi Dulun Hejin tribe intermarried for generations. Moreover, among the tribe, women are also very strong and brave, and often fight with their husbands.

This time, following the Khitan's southern expedition, according to the scouts, there were two or three thousand female cavalrymen in the Qie tribe.

Mo Hefu, the two tribes each sent more than 10,000 cavalry troops this time, and together with the King of the King of the Cihe tribe, the troops exceeded 50,000 cavalry.

When the Xi cavalry, wearing felt shirts and holding arrows arrived at the plains from the valley, the Khitans at the foot of the mountain were loudly excited, and the Khitans also blew the horns to welcome the arrival of friendly troops.

The mountains and fields were filled with cheers from the Khitan soldiers. The Khitans raised their axes, sledgehammers and maces, and pulled open their chests and began to shout, as if they had already won a great victory.

Seeing this scene, Marcelo, Ding Ling, and even the Han generals all looked worried and suddenly cried to Li Chongjiu and said, "Khan, if the old man did not lead the army, our morale would be turbulent."

"Yes, our current military strength is not enough to fight against the Khitan Xi people."

"Yes, will the army be sent to search west and respond! I think it must be the reason why the news is blocked by the Khitans."

Li Chongjiu was silent when he heard this.

In contrast to the high voices of the Khitans, Li Chongjiu's Han army camp was very quiet, seemingly indifferent, and as if he was scared. This made the Khitans show off for a while.

After the meeting, the Khitan Xi people were all very morale. At that time, Luo Yigao Kaidao and others of the Khitan Xi tribe held military discussions and discussed the decisive battle.

The leaders of the Khitan Xi tribe did not pay much attention to Luo Yigao's Taoist soldiers.

As the leader of the alliance this time, Dahe Duluo did not make any noise, but the King of the Suihe tribe had an objection, and said bluntly in front of everyone: "You two Han generals have two counties under their command, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers, why did you bring this number of people this time?"

Luo Yi didn't say anything, all of whom were disdainful, because he was not familiar with such people, and more importantly, he couldn't understand Turkic words. Gao Kaidao was somewhat familiar with him. When he was in Yuyang County, he surrendered to the Turkics, like Liu Wuzhou and Li Yuan, who wanted to use the Turkics to increase his power.

This time, he contacted the Xi people, Khitan, and jointly attacked Zhuo County and helped him in the middle. He also made the contribution to contact.

Gao Kaidao said in an inauthentic Turkic language: "We fought with Li Chongjiu before, and all the subordinates suffered a lot. I lost Anle County, while Brother Luo lost Zhuo County. However, we still had thousands of infantry, but we stayed at him to threaten the food route behind the enemy. If the enemy did not fight quickly, our infantry would take the initiative to cut off the retreat of Liaoxi County."

"Just!" Womandu scolded directly, "Then Li Manzi is all cavalry under his command. Your infantry is very slow to act. How can you cut off the food route?"

Gao Kaidao was stunned and did not expect that the other party was also familiar with the art of military affairs. He said, "After a long time, it will definitely reveal flaws. There are enough soldiers here. Let's leave a soldier behind it, and the results will be greater than here."

"You Han people are cunning, timid, and afraid of death!" A general of the Xi clan snorted, and without caring about Gao Kaidao's words, he made a judgment.

Gao Kaidao wanted to say a few words when he heard this, but when he saw the faces of the people present, he was tactful and stopped talking. At this moment, he was a little envious of Luo Yi and could not understand a single Turkic word.

Luo Yi looked at Gao Kaidao's expression and sneered in Chinese and laughed in a low voice: "I don't know how powerful Li Zhe is, so it's better for them to hit a nail. Then these people will know how to respect me."

Gao Kaidao shook his head and whispered in Chinese, "Brother Luo, I think the situation is wrong. The boy named Li only has 40,000 people. The Khitan Xiren is just stupid. You say you can fight hard and squeeze hard, and you can beat him. Then the Khitan Xiren won, what should we do? Isn't it even less status?"

Luo Yi nodded after hearing Gao Kaidao's words.
