Domi Khan pulls out and Jie Licha Khan sent his teeth to the court and set up an army to rush south to help the defenders of Jiluoshan. Even though Paozhuo was too eager to die early, he didn't dare to have an attack at this time, let alone make any changes, and said goodbye with a smile on his face.
At first glance, the brothers are harmonious, and people who don't know think that it is really reluctant to set it up.
Dadu led an army of 120,000 straight to Jiluo Mountain. According to the report of the battle by the generals in front, it was learned that Tang Jun, led by deputy commander Li Yun, was victorious through the Zabhan River, Har Lake and other places. The two armies have won several times. The confrontation has never been overcome, and now the war ahead is in full swing and the situation is urgent. If you don't rush south to support you at full speed, you won't be able to hold on for long with Jiluoshan's troops.
While magnanimously setting up an army to assist Jiluoshan, the army led by Li Daozong, Zhishili, and Ashinadul marched in the direction of Jiluoshan.
Both Zhishili and Ashinadul are famous and famous generals. With the army led by the two joining, the small-scale battles encountered along the way are all shocking and not dangerous. Without the slightest accident, the Tang army won. Now it is close to Jilushan.
Jiluo Mountain is the second pass of Xue Yantuo’s Ya Ting. As long as Jiluo Mountain is breached, Yanran Mountain can be destroyed, and Huanglong will attack Ya Ting in Yanran Mountain. The success or failure of Jiluoshan is not only related to the victory or defeat of this battle, but also to the life and death of Xue Yantuo's kingdom.
Today, the Tang Army continues to move northward, occupying one area after another, and even Juyan City has been taken back by the Tang Army, becoming an important military strategic location. Now the morale of the Tang army is high, regardless of the enemy's strength, they are defeated and fled in all directions.
In the palace thousands of miles away, today's emperor Li Shimin was overjoyed when he learned that the good news was frequent. Although it took three months and cost a lot of money, it was all worth it. Moreover, Li Shimin ordered that the front-line military supplies must be delivered as soon as possible without error.
It is because of the support of a powerful empire and the frequent front-line wars, the soldiers of the Tang army are fearless. Because they don’t need to worry about munitions. Now that the Tang army has occupied half of Xue Yantuo's country, it is believed that Xue Yantuo's tribe will be completely destroyed in the near future, and the lost ground will be recovered.
On the contrary, Xue Yantuo’s repeated defeats were not because of their weak combat effectiveness, but the lack of food and grass supply, unstable military spirit, and lack of strength. The combination of factors made them unwilling to fight, or even dare not fight at all. Apart from surrendering, they were scattered and fleeing.
After a blizzard disaster, countless livestock froze to death. How can they have spare energy to confront the Tang Jun? Even the surrounding tribes are reluctant to fight for their lives, and they have many complaints about Domi Khan’s desperation, Tang Junsuo Surrendered everywhere.
Tang Jun's repeated victories were indispensable for Ashinadur. He was very familiar with the terrain of Xue Yantuo's tribe, and once led Xue Yantuo's tribe. Some generals were familiar with him. Under his impetus, there was also Tang Jun's deterrent. How dare to fight again.
Desperate Si Li also fought against Xue Yantuo's army, and he also left an indelible impression in the minds of Xue Yantuo's soldiers, who had won many battles. Because of this, Tang's journey was much faster than before, and he was about to approach Jiluo Mountain.
Li Daozong preached that the three armies should be stationed hundreds of miles away from Jiluoshan and rest for three days at the same time to investigate Jiluoshan's intelligence. Fighting continuously for half a month, the soldiers have adapted to fighting on the plateau and are not afraid of anyone at all, but Li Daozong is still cautious, stopping to rest and regenerating.
"Can General Asnadur be familiar with the terrain of Jiluoshan?" In the handsome account, Li Daozong summoned Li Kuan, Asnadur, and Zhishili to discuss military affairs, and asked about Asnadur's situation in a straightforward manner. , "Return to the commander, Jiluoshan is located in the middle of Xue Yantuo's palace, and it is also an important pass."
Ashnadur explained what he knew one by one. The topography of Jiluo Mountain is complicated. There are mountains on the west and the Gobi Desert. There is also a Xiongnu River in the northwest and the private canal Pidanhai on the north. To the northeast is Xue Yantuo's Ya Ting.
"In that case, if you want to attack Jiluoshan, you only have to face the enemy head-on?" Li Daozong pondered.
"Yes!" Ashnadur nodded and said yes. He was familiar with the local terrain, and there was really no good way except for a head-on confrontation.
Li Kuan answered, "Can you attack from the side?"
Ashnadur shook his head and said: "The terrain on the east side is more complicated, with rocky mountains, river valleys, swamps, etc. It is difficult to attack from here; as for the Zhuoxie Mountain on the west side, it is impossible to attack, but it is possible here. As a battlefield; the north side is even more impossible, and it is impossible to silently go around and attack behind."
"Jiluo Mountain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to attack, you will have to pay a heavy price. The only exit is to the north side of Yanran Mountain. As for the northwest, there is a river blocking it. If you want to cross the river without being discovered. It is impossible. As for the other entrance, the only pass is located in front of Jiluo Mountain. If you break through this pass, you can head north from Jiluo Mountain."
Everyone was silent, this road is the only way to go, but also a tough battle!
"According to the news of the scouts ahead, Xue Yantuo's state-owned reinforcements came, and the strength of the defenders of Jiluoshan plus reinforcements is estimated to be equivalent to our army. The generals who rushed to the rescue this time were generously set up." Li Daozong notified the scouts to investigate the enemy's situation. The message, "Who are you going to fight with as the generals this time?"
Li Kuan and others bowed their heads, and no one was sure to break through the defense of Jiluoshan in one fell swoop. In terms of importance, Xue Yantuo’s dispatch of an army must spare no effort. If he agrees to it, it is like issuing a military order. No one can guarantee that the battle will be won. .
"Deputy Commander Li, you are here to command this battle, and you will lead an army to assist!" Li Daozong thought for a while and let Li Kuan take on this role, but it might be a little difficult with him alone, and Li Daozong ordered Ashi again. Nadur and Zhishili each led 20,000 horses to respond, and the main force was Li Kuan's 50,000 soldiers and horses. If there is any situation, he can personally lead a large army to support.
Three days later, Tang Jun set off to Zhuoxie Mountain to set up a camp, and used it as a battlefield to face Jiluo Mountain. When the army arrived at Zhuoxie Mountain, everyone found traces of the station here. Li Daozong and others guessed that it must be that the defenders of Jiluoshan knew that the Tang army had invaded, and the nearby troops gathered in one place. In short, they were prepared for a desperate battle. .
Li Kuan and others are also full of sadness. No one can predict the situation of this war. They do everything they want to do.
"Enjoy the commander, the enemy's special envoy, please!" After everything was settled, the enemy's envoy came the next day. Li Daozong sneered, "I want to see!"
Therefore, Li Daozong let him into the account. It is a rule since ancient times for the two armies to fight without being cut off. Of course, some people do not care about it, but Li Daozong is the official book of the Ministry of Etiquette, and it is necessary to follow the etiquette system. After Xue Yantuo's special envoy entered the account, he bowed and saluted for the first time, then skipped the others and walked directly in front of Li Kuan, saying: "This is my general's gracious book of war. Can your Highness dare to accept it?"
"How dare you!" Li Kuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and took over the war script that he had set up generously. The envoy stood by and waited for Li Kuan's reply. (End of this chapter)
