Chapter 187 Arrival in Abao Cave
Chapter 187 Abao Cave Surrenders
After two hours of fierce battle, it was almost dusk in the afternoon. Chen Kefu was on this battlefield, hiking into the tent to take a nap. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel indescribable.
There were corpses and blood everywhere on the entire battlefield. There was unspeakable depression in the battlefield that had not been cleaned, but Chen Kefu took a nap in the battlefield like this. The guards of more than 100 guard companies and a team of gendarmerie guards wearing red armbands on their arms were escorting around the tent.
Of course, Chen Kefu could not sleep on such a battlefield. He lay on the bearskin cushion in the tent, his hands were pillowing behind his head, and began to carefully and comprehensively think about these Khitans.
No matter what the reason for the appearance of these Khitans here, it means a dangerous signal for him. The Khitans are now subordinates of the Eastern Turks, and the Khitans rely on Goguryeo in the east, Turks in the north, and to the south, but to the west borders the Liaoxi counties of the Great Sui Dynasty.
The counties in western Liaoning, including Liaodong County, Huaiyuan and other towns were only taken from Goguryeo in recent years. Those places were just the bases for the Sui army to attack Liao, and there was no real power. The power of the Sui army was west of Beiping County, which was within the power of the Sui army.
The southern border of the Khitan is very close to Beiping County. If the Khitan really starts a full-scale war with him, then the Khitans will easily block the Sui army's passage into Liaodong, western and eastern Liaoning.
What made him even more jealous was that if the Khitans brought the Eastern Turks in, he would be really in danger by then. Goguryeo is in the southeast. Now he has seized the middle and upper reaches of the Liaohe River, not only annihilated his troops, but also robbed all his money and grain. It can be said that Goguryeo is definitely in a situation with him now.
At that time, one is in the south and the other is in the north, and he will be attacked from both sides. Whether he can escape back to the Central Plains safely is a big question. Not to mention that Liaodong is his initial foothold.
Originally, this time he went north, he had the idea to contact the tribes such as Khitan, Mart, and Shiwei to see if he could trade. He wanted to use transactions to open up the relationship between the tribes, even if he could not become an ally, it would be good to be a business partner for the time being. Anyway, he basically couldn't let them become his enemies. Now, before he could arrive in Fuyu City, he was attacked by his future friend Khitan on the way.
According to his opinion, this team of people was at least more than 12,000, or even 13,100,400 or 5,000, and they were all fully equipped cavalry. This is definitely not a small Khitan tribe who came out to attack his Caogu.
No tribe can bring out so many people. Even if it is not the joint attack of the entire Khitan, it is definitely a joint force of several tribes.
He didn't want to be enemies with others, but others wanted to be enemies with him. This hurt him very much. Although the Khitans were defeated and wanted to surrender, this kind of surrender did not mean anything. If he killed them all, the Khitans would definitely not give up and would definitely become enemies in the future.
If he accepts surrender and does not want to become enemies with the Khitans, he will definitely have to let go and not kill the rest of the people. However, he is unwilling to let five thousand Khitan enemies go back. After thinking about it, he has to use this move, and drag it out first, that is, he will not accept it or accept it immediately, and then annihilate some of the Khitans. In any case, this time they attacked themselves, they must make them realize the seriousness of the matter and make them pay enough price.
"Master, Lord Yu is here!" Zhang Jin reported loudly outside.
"Please come in!"
Yu Qinming had one hand of armor. When he came in, he found that Chen Kefu had never taken a nap. He felt more determined in his heart. He smiled and said, "In front of the formation of thousands of troops, the general was able to fall asleep peacefully. This calmness and calmness is really better than Mr. Xie of Jin!"
"Ha, he was just pretending to be calm. Later, when he heard the victory, he kicked off the soles of his shoes excitedly when he passed the threshold." Chen Kefu smiled, "Why did Lord Yu not watch the game in front of the formation, but ran to the back? Do you also have the habit of taking a nap?"
"The Grand Marshal is joking, I don't have the calmness of yours. The Grand Marshal, there are only two thousand cavalry left in the Khitan cavalry!" Yu Qinming said, focusing on Zhen Kefu with his eyes.
Sure enough, when Chen Kefu heard this, his expression was a little different.
"I remember just now that I seemed to see the Khitans surrendering, but I thought I was dazzled. Zhang Mian, did you see it?"
"Return to the Grand Marshal, the Khitans are indeed asking us to surrender. The man who had previously beaten the white flag and asked to surrender was burned to death by the fireball. Now they have sent another one and are begging in front of the formation." Zhang Jin replied truthfully.
"Oh, looking at my eyes, it's so fascinating. God also has the virtue of living. Since the Khitans are willing to surrender, then accept it quickly. Order the entire army to stop attacking and stop committing unreasonable murder." Chen Kefu said shamelessly.
As soon as Chen Kefu's order was issued, personal soldiers rushed to pass the order. The flag soldiers waved their flags again and stopped the orders. The entire army stopped attacking and became quiet.
In the Khitan array, there were only 7,000 people, but only 2,000 people were left. In a small area, there were human corpses and horse corpses everywhere. The fireballs basically ignited the corpses on the entire Khitan position, with balls of flames everywhere, choking black smoke.
However, no one cared about these people at this time. Seeing that the Sui army finally stopped attacking, everyone felt a sense of escaping from death. Every time they stayed here for an extra quarter of an hour, countless Khitan knights would fall down and be hit by the fireballs that fell all over the sky, and finally there was no complete corpse.
A fur on the Watai was also burnt everywhere. He was hit by the Sui army's fireball just now, but his life was good. The fireball first hit his personal soldiers and then hit him again. He rolled several times on the ground to extinguish the fire, but the beautiful fur was not in shape. But at this time he was not in the mood to pay attention to those things. As long as he still had a life left, it was already the blessing of immortality.
He looked pale and said to Abaoku who was trembling in his tone, "Has the Sui army accepted our surrender?"
Abaoku was not much better than Watai. The only half hour just now was really the biggest torment for him. The only half hour that couldn't survive and could not even die was almost made him crazy.
"It should be!" As Baoku gritted his teeth and said softly.
"You go and assemble the team and let them throw all the weapons aside, and we abandon our weapons and surrender!"
"But if the Sui army refuses to accept our surrender, will we abandon our weapons first and seek death?" Watai said with a glaring eyes.
Abaoku smiled helplessly, "Don't accept it? If the Sui army refuses to accept it, can we escape this disaster with swords and weapons? We abandoned our weapons and showed our determination to surrender. Maybe the Sui army will really obey. If they refuse to accept it, even if we hold the most exquisite weapons, we will still be able to escape death. And it will be the most painful death. In short, it is all death. Are you willing to be burned to death by the fireball or be chopped to death with one knife?"
"Yes, it's a death. I, Watai, is a tribe leader at least. I would rather be killed by a knife and come to the rescue." As I said that, I threw the scimitar aside, turned around and said to my personal soldiers, "What are you still standing there? Wait for the fireball to burn to death? Why don't you tell everyone to abandon their weapons and gather and wait for the result of the Sui army."
No Khitan opposed the surrender. He threw his weapons on the ground one by one, and knights jumped off the horse and walked aside. For them, they no longer had any hope of living, and the only thing they wanted was to have a more pleasant way to die.
When Chen Kefu came out of the tent, he first saw the piles of swords and soldiers piled up all over the ground.
"It seems that these Khitans were really defeated. If I had known today, why would I have to be there in the past!"
"How is the situation in the front army?"
Mao Yi stepped forward and replied, "Go back to the Grand Commander, two thousand cavalry of the Khitan Army have been surrounded and annihilated by our army. They have only escaped more than a hundred cities and have all fled to the north. The Khitan general who was in charge of the Millet Stone Cat before was the commander of the Khitans this time, but he asked him to escape with more than a hundred people. This is a dereliction of duty, so please punish the general."
"Just run away. Today's incident was an accident. How are those Goguryeo people now?" Chen Kefu didn't care too much about the Khitan general leading the way. On the battlefield, if you want to wipe out a unit without missing the net, you can only make plans in advance and have the right time and place. Today they were ambushed by the Khitans, and they were already in a disadvantageous situation.
Not only have they won this battle, but they have basically destroyed the opponent's troops. It is already very rare. When the battle formation is in progress, it is no longer a matter of running away from the opponent's head coach.
"Do you know where the other party comes from? Do you know the identity of the other party's commander? And the situation of this army?" These things are what Chen Kefu really cares about the most. He wanted to know whether all this was done by the Khitan tribes or the plan of the entire Khitan people.
