Tang army camp.
The camp is very simple, but very regular, and full of mysteries.
The simple layout is to save time when breaking out of camp.
Although it is simple, its defensive power is hidden in it.
In the past few days, Zhao Ziliang has raided the troops and horses of 23 Khitan tribes, large and small, in this area, annihilating a total of 12,700 Khitan troops and people.
His own losses did not exceed 500.
After joining the Gaoxiuyan tribe, he lost three Eighteen hundred people, excluding losses, there are now more than 3,400 people.
Many soldiers in the camp were sharpening their swords and arrowheads with stones.
The high-intensity fighting in recent days, the joy after winning the battle and the large number of seizures made the soldiers forget their fatigue and their spirits were getting better and better.
The continuous battles resulted in serious damage during the battle.
Many soldiers' swords were chipped or severely blunted, and their arrows also lost their sharpness.
Although the arrows collected from the battlefield are still edible, they still need to be polished, so the camp is full of them.
You can see soldiers sharpening their swords.
In the Chinese army's tent, Xuan Si was reporting to Zhao Ziliang that a large number of Khitan Xi tribe's reconnaissance cavalry had broken through the reconnaissance cordon and infiltrated here, fearing that the strength of the Tang army would soon be exposed.
After Xuan Si finished speaking, Zhao Ziliang ordered other subordinates to prepare meals and tents for him and his accompanying men, so that they could rest after eating.
After Xuan Si left, Brahan stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, why don't you let The general will send out elite night guards to conduct a large-scale search and annihilate all the Khitan reconnaissance cavalry who have broken through the reconnaissance cordon to prevent them from approaching our army camp to spy on our army's strength."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's too late.
The Khitans have always lived in this area, and their detection and disguise skills are no worse than yours.
It was after they broke through the detection cordon first that Xuan Si and others came to report.
That is to say Before Xuansi and the others arrived, the Khitan reconnaissance cavalry might have spied on our army's movements."
Gao Xiuyan frowned and said: "General, if you say so, the Khitan Xi tribe will soon learn about the reality of our army, and the angry tribe will probably use all the troops of the tribe to approach our army, and then look for fighter planes to fight our army decisively."
Regarding this situation, Zhao Ziliang had already thought that the news could not be kept tightly sealed.
Nuji would definitely find a way to find out the truth and reality of the Tang army at all costs, and then seek a decisive battle with the Tang army.
If it were in peacetime, Nuji would probably Will also be with Tang Jun in Dacao It used to work, but it doesn't work now.
It's already late autumn and October, and winter is about to begin.
If we can't prepare enough fodder and food before winter, the Xi people will suffer heavy losses this winter, so the anger can't afford it. , he didn't have time to spend time with Zhao Ziliang.
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Bolehan, have you heard from the front today that any Khitan tribe is coming this way?"
Bo Lehan shook his head: "Since yesterday afternoon until now, no Khitan tribe has been found coming this way.
My subordinates estimate that most of the main force of the Khitan tribe living in the east has been annihilated by our army, even if there are still some small ones.
The tribes have not sent troops, and their numbers will be very small.
All the tribes in the east should only have old, weak, women and children left."
Zhao Ziliang took out a command arrow from the table and said to Abraham: "I'll give you a thousand cavalry to eradicate all the old, weak, women and children of the Khitan tribe in the east, leaving no one behind."
"Ah" all the generals in the tent were shocked.
Zhao Ziliang was going to massacre them.
They had nothing to do with it.
Zhao Ziliang ordered them to carry out the orders.
What they were worried about was that Zhao Ziliang gave such an order.
If the imperial court was exposed, there would definitely be officials who would punish him.
The emperor wrote a letter and criticized it.
Sometimes rumors can kill people.
Guo Ziyi was a soldier with orthodox Confucian education.
He was the first to stand up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Commander, I'm afraid this is inappropriate.
Our army will rush into the grassland and annihilate the effective forces of the Khitan.
It will be easy to drive them further north."
That's enough, why bother to attack their old, weak, women and children?

I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to do it."
Zhao Ziliang ignored Guo Ziyi, looked at the other generals, and asked, "Do the others think so too?"
All the generals lowered their heads, not daring to express their opinions or oppose Zhao Ziliang's order.
Zhao Ziliang said in a deep voice: "The military order has been issued.
All consequences must be carried out and I will bear all the consequences.
You can't object even if you object.
Now I am the general who makes the decision.
When you become the general, you can act according to your own wishes."
Lehan, don’t you want to go?”
Brahan quickly raised his hands and said: "The last general takes orders."
After finishing speaking, Brahan continued: "General, the major general has been following the general these days.
He has fought bravely and killed dozens of enemies.
According to the theory of military merit, he is enough to be promoted to the rank of captain."
Zhao Ziliang glanced at Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu immediately puffed up his chest and felt quite proud.
However, he heard Zhao Ziliang say: "This battle is not over yet.
After this battle is over, rewards and punishments will be carried out."
After all, Zhao Hu has not grown up yet and is still a child at heart.
After hearing these words, he was immediately discouraged and his head drooped.
This made the generals and commanders of the uncle generation next to him couldn't help but feel happy when they saw it.
Zhao Ziliang ignored him and said: "Use a flying eagle to send an order to Zhang Shouyu.
Once the angry army leads his troops to approach our central army, he will immediately carry out containment, whether to swim or attack.
It all depends on his own decision.
In short, it cannot be done."
Let all anger be relieved” "promise" Judging from the current situation, the Khitan tribe's troops scattered in the eastern part of the grassland have been almost eradicated, leaving only the old, weak, women and children.
However, the physical strength and energy of the fighting soldiers have been relatively large in recent days, despite the victory. general The soldiers were very excited, but this was just an illusion.
The soldiers were still physically and mentally tired and needed to rest, so Zhao Ziliang gave Zhang Shouyu an order to contain the Xi clan from the northwest and prevent the Xi clan from attacking him wholeheartedly.
The edge is approaching.
The general situation of the Tang army was passed to Nujiu's tent through the escaped reconnaissance cavalry.
Nujiu looked very ugly after hearing this.
The great wizard was right.
The Tang army intercepted the eastern Khitan tribe army that came to join them halfway.
And killed all these armies.
In this way, the Xi tribe will be isolated and helpless.
The Tang army is so vicious.
Nu Jie roared angrily: "The Tang army is really cunning, and actually used such a despicable and shameless method to weaken our strength.
Now we have no other way, except crossing the Dule River and fleeing to the north of Tongluo, and then Raise the entire clan's troops to fight the Tang army in a decisive battle and kill them all."
"Kill them all, kill them all!"
The captains of thousands and centurions in the big tent shouted with their fists raised.
On that day, Nu Jie ordered them to leave the old, weak, women and children at the Yazhang Station, and he took the great wizard and an army of more than 7,000 horses to the south to approach Zhao Ziliang's Chinese army.
On October 18, after marching for two days, a dozen or so fast horses caught up with the Xi tribe army led by Nu Jie from behind.
Each of these dozen or so Xi tribe soldiers were covered in dried blood and looked very embarrassed.
Nu Jie was shocked when he saw these dozen Xi soldiers, and immediately asked the leading captain: "Babu, weren't you asked to lead the troops to guard the tooth tent?
Why are you looking like this?"
Babu rolled off his horse and knelt on the ground, crying loudly: "Khan, it's over, it's over, the tooth tent is over, 30,000 old, weak, women and children of the same clan are all over."

Nu Jie almost fell off his horse after hearing the news.
His face turned pale and he refused to agree.
He stabilized his body, collected himself, and immediately asked: "What's going on?
Please tell me clearly what is going on." , please make it clear” Babu took a breath and said: "One day after the Great Khan led his army to leave Yazhang, early yesterday morning, a Tang army suddenly came from the northwest.
There were about 2,000 cavalry.
This Tang army cavalry was very tough.
Everyone has two horses, and I haven't had time to gather the men together.
They were scattered by the Tang army.
I led more than 200 people to resist, but the opponent was too numerous and too powerful for me to resist.
I was seriously injured and fell into coma before escaping with my lower back protected.
According to what my subordinate Erlang said, , the Tang army carried out mass killings in the Yazhang camp, leaving not a single person alive.”
Hearing this, Nu Jie could no longer hold on.
The mental shock was so great that he rolled his eyes and fell off the horse and passed out.
Nu Jie was finally revived by his men.
Half a day had passed and all the tooth tents had been taken away by Tang Jun.
This was a huge blow to Nu Jie.
This meant that he had no way out and even his lair was gone.
Where could he go?
He wanted to continue fighting Zhao Ziliang, so he immediately ordered: "Come here, order everyone to turn around and go back."
The soldiers of the Xi tribe were baffled when they heard this order, and many expressed their dissatisfaction.
However, the news spread quickly and the old nest was taken away by the Tang army.
This time, the Xi tribe's army turned around one after another and never continued to advance towards Zhao Ziliang's Chinese army. idea.
After running for a whole day and night, Nu Jie finally led the Xi tribe's army back to the Yazhang camp.
What they saw were hundreds of vultures eating corpses all over the ground.
Various weapons were planted, some half-burnt flags were still fluttering in the wind, some thick tents were still burning and emitting black smoke, and all the cattle, sheep and horses were missing.
The rotting corpses exuded an unpleasant stench, but the vultures ate them with gusto.
Nu Jie and his thousands of Xi tribe soldiers were all dumbfounded.
I don’t know how long it took, but someone shouted: “Revenge” This moment ignited the fire of revenge among all the Xi soldiers.
They raised their weapons angrily and shouted: "Revenge, revenge."
Parents, children, brothers, sisters and other relatives were among the large corpses in front of them.
The corpses were still being eaten by these vultures.
This made the Xi soldiers burst out with unprecedented hatred, but they also became a truly lonely army.
Everyone else was blinded by hatred, but the Great Wizard and Nu Jie were not.
An army without the backing of the common people is an army alone.
An army alone will not receive any supplies or support.
Even if they defeat the Tang army, if they do not find a way to capture a large number of If the women recuperate and breed offspring, the Xi clan will perish soon
