Yerecenjech has been in a bad mood lately.
The reason for the bad mood is because the war is not smooth.
As a general of the heart, everything is centered on Yeluabaoji and war. If he cannot complete the task of Yeluabaoji and cannot win in the war, his life will be completely worthless, and sooner or later he will be replaced by latecomers. .
It is also because of the general of the abdomen, that Yellynech has always been very confident. Even in the face of the close general Yerondi Rugu, he can maintain a bird's eye attitude, even if it often conflicts with the other party. As an excellent warrior, it is not only necessary but also important to have the faith to look down on the heroes and defeat all enemies.
Yeluxianye Chidaxiao is the clever and brave warrior in the clan who has high hopes from the elderly. He has become the second warrior of the clan before he has reached adulthood and has become the object of worship for many people. The first warrior is of course the king of the steppe A Baoji.
Over the years, Yeluxianiechi battled the grasslands for the Khitan. The most difficult battle was unbeaten. He could also tie with the enemy, and he has an invincible reputation on the grasslands. If not, he would not have been heavily influenced by Yelu Abao and become a general in the abdomen.
But this time the war against the Tang Dynasty gave Yerudyenich an unprecedented experience.
If at all possible, Yerutnechyan would rather have no such experience in his life.
Because that's the feeling of frustration.
First of all, he failed to ambush the Langfang Army in Luoyankou with all the advantages.
For Yeltsynec, the battle was indeed a failure. Even though his army killed more than 60,000 Langfang troops, but he paid several times more, and also escaped the Shangguan Qingcheng and 5,000 Langfang troops, and did not reach the destruction of Langfang troops. , Slay the target of Shangguan Qingcheng.
Secondly, he was frustrated in attacking Yunzhou. He thought he could chase and make up for the regret of the battle of falling Yankou. However, he did not expect that Yunzhou City would be guarded by the thirty-thousand infantry of the Langfang Army, as strong as a barrier. Can't take it down at all. He was forced to retreat into the grassland to avoid being surrounded by the Tang Dynasty embargo.
For Yeltsenaec, this was an unprecedented failure.
In order to save this failure, when he led the Qidan West Army and attacked the Luzhou defense line of the Tang Dynasty, he first fought in every war.
Kung Fu was not disappointed. He conquered Huai'an County, Wende County, Baiyang Town, and Longmen County, pushed the front to Huairong City, Luzhou Prefecture, and launched a violent attack on Juyongguan in accordance with the military order of Yeluabaoji.
Before attacking Huai Rongcheng and Juyongguan, Yeluxianiechi was invincible, and Tang Jun in various places could not resist his front, which strengthened his confidence.
But at Huai Rongcheng and Ju Yongguan, his offense was blocked.
From this, Yelu Xianiechi discovered that his victory in Huai'an County, Baiyang Town and other places was not because of how strong he was, but was given to him by the Tang Dynasty. The Tang dynasty never thought of defending these places. It was a deliberate contraction of the defense line, focusing on the defense of Huairong City and Juyongguan.
After more than two months of offensive, Yeluzianiechi failed to win Huairong City and Juyongguan.
Although the Khitan army in the north exit of Tanzhou and Yuguan in Pingzhou did not break into the solid line of defense built by the Tang army, this did not comfort Yereznech.
He is a general in the heart of the abdomen. He has one of the best Khitan songs. He is also the most heroic warrior in the grassland except Yeluabaoji-at least he thinks so. In the case of the defeat of the Battle of Luoyankou, he couldn't obtain good military achievements to prove himself, and he was particularly miserable.
However, the latest military order of Yeluabaoji was to keep him in the battalion. He could not fight without breaking the enemy's opportunity.
This made Yerlezhnech more aggrieved, and there was nowhere to vent his fire.
At this time, Yerudyenich suddenly learned that he was sent to the steppe to raise money.
Liang's army was attacked by Tang Jun Jingqi! The results of the multi-day operation were lost, and the soldiers did not bring back a cow and sheep. Not to mention that the army of 50,000 grain-raising troops was even damaged!
This made him lose his face and anger.
"Tang Jun? Where did Tang Jun come from ?! The troops of the Tang Dynasty resisted the onslaught of our army in Luzhou, Tanzhou, and Pingzhou. They were able to control the border, and they have already done their best. There is no strength to take the initiative. How could it be that there is a fine rider now, detoured to the back of our army and attacked our army's food-raising team ?! "
In the military tent, Yelusianiechi opened his eyes in anger, staring at the master monk who reported return to the military.
"It's true that it is a general report. According to my observations, the Tang army has 30,000 to 40,000 riders, and they are all ingenious. Mo said that the Tang Dynasty's frontiers could not be compared to it, and even the Tang Dynasty's embargo was rarely comparable. What's even more shocking is that their fighting force is extremely powerful, and they have the power of arranging mountains and rivers. I raised the grain and the army joined them, and the formation broke up in an instant! "
A middle-ranked monk with a distressed face said with a sad look, "In less than two hours, the 50,000 army army was completely chaotic, and was divided and combed by the other party. The soldiers were killed and wounded, and there was no backhand ... . "
Upon hearing the monk's description, Yerutzhnech was almost mad.
He said: "Such a powerful battle force could not have come from the Wolffang Army? Do you want to tell Ben, it is Shangguan who attacked you ?!"
The monk glanced at Yerutneich, who was distorted because of his anger, and said, "Perhaps, it really is Shangguan's fall ..."
Tang Jun didn't have much fanfare, so he didn't know who the other general was. He is not a general of the battlefield, nor can he identify the distinguished soldiers of the military family, which is different from the generals of the military family.
"Get off!" Yerlezhnech couldn't help anymore, and gave a nearly hysterical growl.
Shangguan Qingcheng was the only famous player in the Tang Dynasty and the biggest threat of the Khitan Army. In order to deal with this person and her Majesty's Wolffang Army, Khitan planned to work day and night before the war, and finally paid the price of the party and Shatuo. Only then crushed the Langfang Army's fine riding at Luoyankou.
But now, what did the other party say to Yereznech? The other party might be Shangguan Qingcheng, Langfang! Isn't this nonsense?
This is the biggest insult to the battle of Yeluxianie Chiluo Yankou, which he can't bear anyway, and even more unbearable!
Originally, there was no battle to kill Shangguan, and not to destroy the Wolffang Army, which was the pain of Yeluxianiechi and Yeluabaoji. However, the battle of Yanyankou caused the Wolffang Army to basically lose its combat power, although the result was not perfect. , But it's not much worse.
It's just a few months now. How did the Spike Falcon reappear so quickly? !!
Yerlezhnech could repel the monks who were in charge of guarding the food-raising army in shame and anger, but could not easily get rid of the entanglement of the next group of people.
These people are the grassland tribal chiefs of the non-Khitan tribes.
"General, the food-raising team was attacked by the Tang army, and all the cattle and sheep raised by it fell on the enemy. Now we have run out of food in our battalion. At most, more than half a month, the soldiers will not have food!"
A respected old chief said sadly, "A soldier without food will lose the strength and will to fight. You are the commander of the army, and you should know what it means. Dare to ask the general, is there a solution to this problem? "
Yerlezhnech wanted to drag the old chief out of his army account and behead it.
Although the other party's words were polite, the meaning was very clear and tough: Without cattle and sheep food, their tribe would not be able to continue to fight in Huairong.
But Yerlezhnech couldn't do this, let alone the situation that the old chief said.
To prevent this from happening, just
Must raise cattle and sheep for the army.
This is certainly not easy.
The army under Yeluxianye Chi has captured more than half of Luzhou, occupying areas including Huai'an County and Baiyang Town. But in these places, Tang Jun left no one at all, no grain, no cattle or sheep!
Tang Jun implemented a tactic of sturdy walls and clear fields.
This is not a new tactic, nor is it only used by the Tang people. In order to prevent the invaders from receiving supplementary rations, such tactics are actually very common, but they do not have the unique title of "stable walls and clear fields".
Where Qinzhou could not raise food, and the grasslands could raise food, it was basically swept away by the Khitan cavalry. At this moment, Yerlezhnech wanted to solve the food crisis, in addition to sending food-raising troops to farther places, he could only Speak to Yeluabaoji.
Sending food-raising troops to farther grasslands is certainly not feasible.
The Tang army that attacked the Khitan food-raising army is still on the grassland; asking Yeluabaoji for cattle and sheep is even more difficult to achieve. If the other party can change a lot of food out of nothing, why do you need to order the army to raise food independently?
Yeltrenetch felt his head as big as a fight.
When he didn't give the first answer, the tribal chiefs talked a lot and asked him how to solve the problem, which made him unable to calm down and think about the problem.
If he can't give the answer right away, the army's heart will fall apart.
At that time, even if the chiefs of these ministry do not retreat without authorization, the army will be chaotic, unable to extricate themselves in the mud, giving Tang Jun a chance.
If it is an ordinary Khitan general, it must be about to collapse at this moment. However, as a general of the heart, one of the most trusted people of Yaluga Aboji, even though he could not be compared with the enemy of Yelut, known for his wisdom, but Yerlezhnech could not be underestimated.
He quickly made up his mind.
"No matter who led the army on the grassland, who is the leader and what an elite part, now they have snatched our cattle and sheep and made us unable to live, and the soldiers on the grassland have only one way to go. That is to find them, kill them, and take back our food! "
Yerutne said with red eyes.
This was the only way he could come up with.
In addition, there is indeed no better strategy. After all, there are so many cattle and sheep. Unless they can capture Huai Rongcheng or Juyongguan within half a month, they can only return to the army to chase the Tang army.
There are no obvious loopholes in this action plan.
If you insist that there is something wrong, it is also the problem that the Khitan Army has not been able to open the situation for several months to break through the Tang Army ’s defense line. It is a problem of the trend of the war. It is a problem caused by the comparison of the military strength between Khitan and Datang. It is not his law. A personal problem with Tunechi.
"This Tang army is extremely intrepid, and 50,000 soldiers can't afford the first battle. Even if they find them, how can they guarantee a certain victory?" The highly respected old chief asked without doubt.
What he meant was, in fact, that the non-Khitan army was not an opponent of this elite Tang army-without an absolute advantage in the number of soldiers-if Yerezhnech did not want to mobilize 200,000 troops to leave Huai Rong, giving up the deterrent to Huai Rong's Tang army, then he must send his own direct army to solve this problem for the grassland tribal army.
Yerecenech knew this.
He snorted coldly and proudly said, "The Langfang Army, known as the Tang Dynasty's sharpest, was destroyed by me at the mouth of Luoyan. This Tang Army's elite horse is more brave and can not be more powerful than the Langfang Army? Besides, they still There are only 30,000 or 40,000 people! Without your words, this will make the abdomen out of the horse and it will definitely bring you back the cattle and sheep rations! "
Yerecenjech needed to stabilize his army and morale.
