Chapter 1102: Revenge
The Khitans were full of crisis, and the soldiers and horses in Datong Town on the side were also quite alert. Soon, the two camps were isolated from themselves.
There are many wildfires in the grassland, so everyone knows that the safest thing is to eliminate those burning things and separate them from the vicinity, so that the fire will naturally not burn.
Tens of thousands of people moved together, and in less than half an hour, the isolation belt was formed. Two groups of soldiers sat together and watched the fire opposite, without any intention of going to rescue them.
The word "self-sacrifice" will not appear in the minds of the Khitans or even the grassland tribes. Only selfish people will live to the end. This is the law of nature.
Moreover, the southern tribes of the Monan do not belong to the Khitan army at all. It is not worth worrying about how much they are when they are recruited.
As long as the prestige of Khitan remains, it can still be convened.
"What's wrong-" Yelu Dilie climbed up and looked at him, and suddenly realized that there was a sign of a fire moving towards him.
"Tangren really have plans to cause fire?" Taer also looked at him and said, "It's just a pity that we have been preparing for a long time and there are no plants or trees around us. How can we attract them?"
"The Tang people have always been treacherous and should not be neglected--" Yelu Dilie said quickly. This sudden attack by the Tang people really surprised them.
After all, Yanmen Pass was surrounded by a dead end. How did this group of people come out of the gate and attack it suddenly? Moreover, it also attacked the weakest tribe in the southern desert, which is really strange.
"Conspiracy and intrigues are always used only by the weak. In the face of powerful strength, all treacherous things have no effect!"
Tarr waved his hand and said, collecting troops, preparing to wipe out the so-called Tang soldiers when they came.
Yelu Dilie recognized this principle, but the previous half-cross attack and Yelu Sha's death in battle made him feel scared. The Tang people's difficult situation was deeply imprinted in his heart and could not be erased.
"If it's not dawn yet, it would be bad if the Tang people had ambush. It would be better to wait until dawn, and it wouldn't be too late to teach them a lesson at that time."
Yelu Dilie suggested.
"You're right!" Although Taal was brave, he was not a warrior. Two or three thousand people had died before. Now he could not repeat the same mistake. He nodded and expressed his approval.
Nearly 100,000 troops were set out from Youzhou, and more than 20,000 were lost in front of Shiling Pass. The fleeing soldiers and horses stayed in Datong. Now the 100,000, 50,000 of their subordinates come from Youzhou, 20,000 from Datong, and 30,000 from the south of the desert.
For the Central Plains, 20,000 people were just heartbroken, but for the Khitan, this had already hurt his vitality. The huge Khitan had only 300,000 soldiers.
In Youzhou, there are only about 100,000 soldiers and horses, but now they have lost 20 or 30%, which is difficult to make up for.
So, the Khitan soldiers stayed in the camp, waiting for dawn, and did not dare to move rashly.
However, when the war came to this point, it was no longer up to them to decide on the fire of the camps.
Suddenly, a fire came, and Taal and Yelu Dilie were shocked. They thought they were cavalry holding torches. Taal couldn't help but say, "Why are these people so arrogant? How dare you attack our camp?"
Although he couldn't see clearly, the fire in front of him was only 20,000 to 30,000. If he had added Datong troops, there would be 70,000 people.
Yelu Dilie also felt that the person on the other side could not be so wise. He squinted his eyes, hundreds of steps apart, and could not see clearly. He whispered: "No matter what, it is good to make some preparations in advance."
The war horses kept rushing, the fire became brighter and brighter, and the ground was trembling. Until nearly a hundred steps, the group finally saw clearly that no one was holding these war horses.
In other words, the hundreds of war horses in front have burning felt hanging on tails, and behind them are thousands of war horses, and finally, the cavalry that is constantly driving away, namely the Tang cavalry.
"Not good--" Taal was shocked. The horses were already frightened and galloped desperately, with great impact, and their simple fence could not stop their pace at all.
However, the Khitan soldiers gathered together at this time and made a charge. In other words, they almost collided with each other.
"Quick, make room for these rascal horses to run over-"
Fortunately, the Khitans were basically led by nobles and had high obedience. Faced with sudden orders, they obeyed directly and barely left a way out.
Coupled with the delay of the fence, the avenue was barely vacated.
Taer wiped his sweat and said to Yelu Dilie: "The Tang people are really sinister and cunning. They actually let the war horses rush around. If they let him succeed, our military formation will be dispersed, and that will be over."
Hundreds of fire horses galloped past, followed by thousands of war horses driven away, which made many Khitans feel scared. Unreasonable war horses can really kill people.
Taer seized the time and organized the army to start facing the impact of the Tang cavalry. Now, he has seen through the opponent's plan and crushed with absolute strength, and he is fearless.
"Hmph!" Yang Ye tied the reins and stopped the war horse under his crotch. So the cavalry behind him also stopped slowly, staring at the ferocious Khitan cavalry.
"Is the Fire Horse Formation so easy to be broken?"
Yang Ye shook his head. He couldn't help laughing at the ignorance of the Khitans. He dragged a lot of felt on the tails of the war horses. Although the flames ignited were small, they kept shaking as the war horses ran.
I escaped the impact, but I couldn't escape the ending of fire.
The summer is hot and the plants are dry. A little Mars can turn into a fire, let alone hundreds of war horses.
Sure enough, before Taal was happy for too long, a fire ignited behind him, many war horses were frightened, the cavalry were also frightened, and their combat effectiveness was greatly affected.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a horse galloping, and the earth was trembling constantly. Taer and Yelu Dilie looked at each other and saw countless fires suddenly appearing in the direction of Yanmen Pass.
Obviously, reinforcements from Yanmen Pass have arrived, not far away, which makes the cavalry tremble.
Friends suffered heavy losses, with Tang army in front, fire behind, and an enemy army next to it that could reinforce at any time. The key is that it was still at night, and its combat power was greatly reduced.
How did he fight this?
Taer and Yelu Dilie instantly understood the situation. Their morale plummeted and they couldn't fight at all. Let's break through!
At this time, the cavalry in Datong Town next to him, seeing such a situation, could not receive command, and left without saying goodbye, and turned and retreated.
After all, their mission was to guard Datong, and there was no military order to go south at all, which was forced by Taal.
"Taer" Taer was so angry that his eyes were like fire, and he said, "Tangren, I remember this hatred-"
