The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans
Chapter 77: Unmoving like a mountain, aggressive like fire
Yunwu Valley is a natural giant valley on the border of Jingzhou. Due to its terrain, it is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, hence the name Yunwu Valley.
To get out of Jingzhou, the fastest way is to leave from Jingyang City, which is where they originally attacked.
However, Jieli Khan was worried about an ambush in Jingyang, so he cunningly took a detour and left the country through Yunwu Valley, which was more than 70 miles away from Jingyang City.
"Hurry! Keep up, everyone! Don't fall behind!"
In the formation of the Turkic army, the leaders of each tribe loudly urged the army to advance.
This place is not far from Jingyang City. If a 300,000-strong army passes by here, there is no guarantee that they will not be discovered by the Jingyang defenders. Therefore, it is most important to leave the country as soon as possible.
At this moment, a loud shouting of killing suddenly came from the rear of the army, attracting Jieli Khan's attention.
"What happened!"
Jieli Khan tightened his reins and asked sharply.
Immediately, a cavalryman ran over and said in an urgent tone: "Thank you, Great Khan! A Han army was found thirty miles behind! Look at the flag, it is the Jingzhou garrison, about 20,000 people, who are approaching from outside Jingyang City. Our army is chasing you!"
Hearing the words of this cavalryman, Jieli Khan snorted and said angrily: "I knew that Luo Yiding had set up an ambush in Jingyang City!"
"Send the order, leave one army behind, and the rest of the army will pass through the Cloud Valley as soon as possible! Don't waste time with them!"
Although he really wanted the army to turn around and destroy the Jingzhou army, this would undoubtedly greatly slow down their marching speed and cause the army to suffer many casualties.
Although they are large in number, the Han army has always been known for its elite. Coupled with the unfavorable terrain here, the defenders can also cause them great losses.
He also wanted to preserve his strength and return to the Turkic Royal Court to kill Li Chengdao, where time and troops were wasted on these Jingzhou troops.
"When this Khan frees up his hands in the future, he will definitely capture the entire Jingzhou!"
Jieli Khan glanced at the smoke and dust raised by the rushing attack of the Jingzhou defenders from a distance, then said bitterly, and rode towards the Cloud Valley.
It's just that no one in the Turkic army noticed that although the Jingzhou army behind them shouted to kill Zhentian and had extraordinary momentum, it didn't really mean to fight with them. It just followed them closely and did not catch up. Not falling behind, as if driving them towards the cloud valley.
And just after nearly two-thirds of the Turkic army entered the Cloud Valley, countless soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides of the valley!
And the person standing under one of the handsome banners, who could it be if it wasn't Luo Yi!
The Turks were cunning, how could he not be on his guard?The time when the Turks were about to leave the country was the most relaxed and the best time to ambush, so he did not lead his army to fight the Turks inside the country.
One is to avoid affecting the people in Jingzhou, and the other is to reduce the casualties of the Jingzhou army.
If the Turkic army passed through Jingyang, he would order the army to fight in the city. If it passed through Yunwu Valley, he would have already arranged an ambush of 20,000 troops here!
"attack!"
Luo Yi came to the battlefield in person, looked at the numerous Turkic armies below, and ordered coldly.
Following Luo Yi's order, the Turkic soldiers on both sides of the valley pushed down the wooden barrels filled with kerosene.
The barrel fell into the valley, and after it broke, the kerosene inside flowed out and flowed on the ground. Then the soldiers on both sides of the valley lit fire arrows and fired arrows towards the bottom of the valley!
The fire arrow directly ignited the fire oil, and for a while the entire bottom of the valley became a sea of fire!
"what--"
"I'm on fire! I'm on fire! Help!"
"Help me! I don't want to die here!"
……
Suddenly, the formations of the Turkic army were all in chaos, filled with screams and clashes of soldiers.
The Jingzhou troops on the mountain added fuel to the fire and continued to shoot down the Turkic soldiers at the bottom with arrows.
As for the Jingzhou Army, which was clinging to the rear of the Turkic army, they formed a formation to prevent the Turkic army from retreating in the valley.
"Don't mess! Don't mess!"
Being suddenly attacked, Jieli Khan was furious. While roaring loudly, he pulled out the scimitar from his waist and beheaded several Turkic soldiers who were on fire and rushed towards him without knowing whether to live or die.
Then he immediately gave an order to the leaders of each tribe: "Send the order, let the warriors restrain their soldiers, extinguish the fire on the burning soldiers, and kill anyone who breaks into the army without permission!"
"Let all soldiers maintain their formation! Withstand the rain of arrows above your head and rush out of the Cloud Valley in one go!"
It must be said that Jieli Khan is a decisive leader with a very unique vision, and he immediately found the place to break the situation.
In fact, the casualties caused by kerosene to the soldiers in the valley were not particularly large. The most important thing was that it disrupted the formation of the army and made countless soldiers panic. In an environment like the bottom of the valley, they trampled on each other and caused great casualties.
There were soldiers of the Jingzhou Army shooting arrows above them, and the Turkic army, which was in a disordered formation, could not mount a strong defense at all.
Following Jieli Khan's order, the tumult of the Turkic army gradually stabilized, and they began to extinguish the flames while reorganizing their formation.
Those who dared to approach the military formation while their bodies were on fire were mercilessly killed on the spot.
Under this powerful measure, the turmoil in the Turkic army soon ceased to exist. The remaining troops reorganized their formation, raised their shields to resist the arrow rain above their heads, and rushed towards the exit of the Cloud Valley.
Seeing such a scene, Luo Yi's deputy general became anxious and said to Luo Yi: "General, hurry up and order the army to pursue! This is a good opportunity!"
However, Luo Yi shook his head and said: "No need, that Jieli Khan is not mediocre. Now that they have stopped the commotion, if they continue to pursue them, they may counterattack, so just give it up."
Although Jieli Khan's countermeasures were timely, the Turkic army still suffered casualties of about 10,000 to 20,000 troops, while the Jingzhou army did not lose a single soldier, which was already an excellent result.
Luo Yi received Li Chengdao's order, which was just to let him snipe and hinder the Turkic army, causing casualties to the opponent as much as possible, but he did not require them to fight head-on.
So that's enough.
"I hope I have bought enough time for His Highness the Grand Sun."
Luo Yi thought to himself, then looked away from the Turkic army that rushed out of the Yunwu Valley, and ordered: "Retract the troops and reorganize the battlefield!"
"yes!"..
