Chapter 347: Turkic Crisis Response
Xue Yantuo's cavalry has steel helmets, cuirasses, and longbows, which are several grades better equipped than the Turks, and their strength is originally almost the same, but now as soon as they fight, the gap will come out. The bow and arrow are not as far as others shooting, and even if they are shot, it is difficult to hurt others, but once they are hit by an arrow, they will not survive, because in this battle, Li Jing brought all Mitsubishi arrows.
Tuli Khan Ashina and Shi Bobi, who fought Youzhou in the first two years, have suffered enough, and have some shadows in their hearts for the Central Plains, and this time they suddenly came to the city and were blocked in the city, so they were naturally very uneasy.
Twice sent troops out of the city, not only did not disperse the enemy, but injured countless people, the most important thing is the wounded, few rescued, now the city is in the legend, the Central Plains people used witchcraft on the arrows, the middle of the helpless!
The news from outside the city made him even more uneasy, because the herdsmen outside were besieging him, and the Tuli Khan had no choice but to send an order to go out, let the herdsmen gather, and then return to the city together.
Dingxiang fell into a crisis, Jieli Khan was uncomfortable, and the army of Murwei was dispatched, which was completely unexpected by him, and for a while, many people were arrested by Murwei. The people of the Yan Dynasty went out of the Great Wall and killed the lair of Jieli Khan directly along the Yin Mountain!
The most important thing is that the preparatory work for this dispatch was done well, and the mobilization was rapid, which completely caught the Turks by surprise. Especially during this season, the herders are scattered in all directions, so they have no backhand power when attacked.
For Jieli Khan? The only good news is because of the foot of Yin Mountain? Already swept once? Now the herders don't like to graze near this side? Thus killed? There are fewer arrests.
Wei Chi Jingde? The task of looking for the phase is to sweep along the Yin Mountain? And seize the moraine? This is in order to destroy the Turkic forces as much as possible, and of course it is best to be able to destroy the Jieli Khan.
The cavalry came and went like the wind, 30,000 cavalry of the Tatar tribe, followed by 30,000 women and the old and weak? Because Zou Yu has always taken the results and captures as their military merits, such a big action? Coupled with the relocation of the clansmen and the abundance of manpower, they certainly will not let go of this opportunity. Of course, Zou Yu is also happy to see this.
After two years of campaigning? How did Da Zuorong and the others treat the clansmen, Zou Yu didn't ask, but every time he recruited the people who came over, the treatment he gave was excellent, ordinary soldiers? Also very fond of playing? Because Zou Yu's life here is much better than that in their clan, and in winter, there are woolen clothes.
In this battle, they got the steel helmet and iron armor that they had envied for a long time, so their enthusiasm for fighting was even higher.
Waves of herdsmen fled back to the royal court from all over the country, and some of them were herdsmen who were urgently recalled.
To say that the Turks are also unlucky, they met Zou Yu's nemesis, the Khitan, the Xi people, and the Xi people, who were originally their affiliated tribes, were inadvertently annexed by Zou Yu, and the first Bi Khan carelessly underestimated the enemy, attacked in many ways, and lost a lot of men and horses, and the Hui suffered heavy casualties, and Xue Yantuo was forced to rebel. Hui and Xue Yantuo are their two most important subordinate tribes, and they are all gone.
In the clouds, Daizhou, Youzhou, Yanmen's southbound route was all cut off, in addition to the Hetao there is a road, it can be said that it has been blocked in the grassland, the Eastern Turks from the Qiming Khan, to the prosperity of the Shibi Khan, but also in the hands of the Shibi Khan weakened, and now the Murwei has also rebelled, the power in the hands of the Jieli Khan, in addition to the Turkic headquarters, there are only small tribes such as Fuligu, Hun, Husa, Abbah, and Servant Gu.
Murwei was in trouble, which completely surprised them, and the first to bear the brunt were the two tribes of Abba and Servant Gu, and most of them were arrested before they had time to escape.
Jieli Khan's tooth tent has moved out and lives in Yinshan, between Dingxiang and Dingxiang, just to facilitate the supervision of Ashina and Shibaobi in Dingxiang. Although Jieli Khan made this nephew a khan, he was not at ease with him, and guarded him with Shuofang's 30,000 iron horsemen, plus the men and horses of the tooth tent.
Of course, moving away from the Yinshan Royal Court, the most important thing is that the Royal Court makes him feel unsafe, after all, Yanmen and Yunzhong are too close to him, Zou Yu's men and horses have swept Yinshan once, and Liu Renliang's scouts have also appeared many times in the vicinity of the Royal Court, which makes him feel insecure.
Listening to the cries of the remnants of the tribe such as Abba and the servants, Jieli Khan was very anxious, and forced patience to appease them, and then let them out.
"How's that okay?" Jieli Khan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Khan, don't worry! Now the main thing is to find out how many people are in the enemy? Gather the scattered people, then concentrate your forces and destroy the enemy! You must know that the Turkic warriors have at least three or four hundred thousand, and such a huge force has no opponent in the steppe. Zhao Deyan reassured.
Zhao Deyan itself
"That's right! Right! Just wait for the people to gather, will it be too late? Jieli Khan asked hesitantly.
"The khan can take a multi-pronged approach, let people send orders to Shuofang's 30,000 horses, together with the Liang division, to send troops to attack Bingzhou, which is called besieging Wei and saving Zhao! On the side of the Tuli Khan, he can also attract some men, and the Khan only needs to deal with the Murwei people and the enemies from the clouds! Zhao Deyan continued.
"Yes, yes, each break! Ben Khan is going to destroy them all, see who dares to underestimate Ben Khan in the future! Jieli Khan said through gritted teeth.
He regarded Zou Yu's attack as a contempt for him, so he was very angry!
"Khan is angry, now that the Jinyang soldiers are flourishing, in the opinion of his subordinates, after this battle, he will first call him a minister!" Zhao Deyan said persuadingly.
"What! Let Ben Khan be a vassal to him! That's impossible! Jieli Khan's face changed, and he said angrily.
"Khan is angry, think about it, when the Khan of Qiming, the Khan of Shibi, and the Khan, he was still a minister, if the minister can buy time, why not?" Zhao Deyan hurriedly persuaded him.
Jieli Khan's face was cloudy, and he continued for a long time: "You're right, we need time, in a few years, when the children grow up, Ben Khan has hundreds of thousands of warriors, and then settle accounts with them!" ”
"Not only that, the Central Plains is now lined with princes, and sooner or later there will be a big war, if the Khan can get out of the matter, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, it is not impossible to take the Central Plains in the future." Zhao Deyan continued.
"Ben Khan must use Zou Changfeng's head as a wine vessel!" Jieli Khan said viciously.
"Khan will have a chance, but for now, he will be able to get through it!" Zhao Deyan said.
"Now I have to wait for someone to come back, but I will immediately let Zhi lose his strength to send troops, out of Shuozhou, and attack and merge the state!" Jieli Khan said, and immediately picked up the pen and began to write a letter, and then asked his golden wolf guard to send it to Shuofang.
"Khan is wise!" Zhao Deyan complimented, but he didn't have confidence in his heart, after all, there was no reason not to contain Liang Shidu, even if he didn't send troops, he must have taken precautions, and in a short period of time, Liang Shidu and his stubborn thinking power could not bring too much threat. The only hope at present is for the herders to withdraw their tents as soon as possible and organize their men and horses.
"The national teacher thinks that it is better to call Ben Khan a vassal!" Jieli Khan asked.
"Of course there is only Zou Changfeng! Because at present, he is the only one who has the strength and has the opportunity to attack the Khan! Bow your head for the time being, in exchange for time, so that the khan has time to clean up the traitors, this is the most important thing. Zhao Deyan comforted.
"Humph! The two bastard tribes of Murwei and Xue Yantuo, this Khan will definitely not let them go! Although he knew that it must be Zou Yu, Jieli Khan was still unwilling, but he had no choice but to vent his anger on Mu Wei.
"As long as Zou Changfeng accepts the Khan's vassal, then he has no reason to interfere in the battle between the Turks and Murwei, and the Khan just cleans up Murwei!" Zhao Deyan analyzed.
"Will Zou Changfeng not accept Ben Khan's kindness?" I didn't want to be a minister just now, but now I have some hope, Jieli Khan asked a little awkwardly in his heart.
"The people of the Central Plains are all good-looking, as long as the Khan sends people to go to the courtiers with great fanfare, the language is euphemistic, and the attitude is lowered, Zou Changfeng will definitely agree." Zhao Deyan said confidently.
"That's it! Wait for Ben Khan to dominate the grassland, and then take revenge! Jieli Khan said with a sigh of relief.
"Outbred and close attack! The khan can be a vassal to Zou Changfeng, befriend Li Yuan and Xue Ju in private, and sell war horses with them, not only can he develop himself, but also enhance the strength of Zou Changfeng's enemies! Zhao Deyan suggested.
"The national teacher's words are very good!" Jieli Khan high-fived and exclaimed.
was explained by Zhao Deyan, Jieli Khan felt a lot more stable, and at the same time, he also had a clear direction of action for what needed to be done next, and he was not so flustered and confused.
Wei Chi Jingde, Xun Xiang and Wan Yan Lie led the troops into the grassland, although they already know the grassland terrain very well, but the grassland is too big, the herdsmen walk widely, and there is no fixed place, so the harvest is not big.
The herdsmen on the grassland, the most familiar with their own people, so there are people in front of them who escape, and the rear soon knows, the wolf rushes and knows that there are a large number of people and horses to kill, and the herdsmen are not stupid, they don't care about their own property, and they run away on horses, so Wei Chi Jingde and others did not catch much, and the cattle and sheep did not catch less, but these were handed over to the people behind to deal with.
Compared with them, looking for prey on the endless grassland, Li Jing's main force is much more purposeful here, and he just pushes it over to Shuofang.
Although the Hetao area is not small, and the herders have no fixed residence, there is one thing they cannot change, that is, they live by water! So just kill it with the river.
Luo Shixin, Li Yuanba, when the world's two most powerful fierce men, Zou Yu has to bow down, for the Turks, it is a nightmare, not to mention Li Yuanba's fierce reputation, has already spread all over the grassland, so when his pair of hammers as thick as a waist appeared, the Turks often surrendered without a fight! After all, no one wants to kill themselves, knowing that they can't fight but still have to fight.
Luo Shixin hurried to ride a horse, every time he entered the battle, he was used to fighting on foot, a flag gun had been completely soaked with blood, and the thick purple-brown blood cocoons on it exuded a fishy smell, which made people frightened from afar, smelling disgusting!
Tiger head shoulder pads, leopard head helmets, that is really a beast out of the cage, in a short period of time, Luo Shixin can run faster than ordinary war horses, when attacking, like a mad demon, the flag gun swept all the objects in front of him, so it didn't take long for his reputation to approach Li Yuanba, and the herdsmen called him hungry rakshasa! Megatron Grassland.
The most tragic thing about the Tuli Khan, he did not wait for the rescue of the people, many people did not come here at all when they knew that Shuofang could not enter, but fled to the depths of the grassland, of course, there were some people who thought that Dingxiang was better to drag the enemy, the longer the better.
In the huge Dingxiang City, not only are there fewer and fewer people, but the reinforcements from outside the city have not seen a single one for two days, and the people and horses that were originally gathered have also withdrawn backwards.
Tuli Khan wanted to cry without tears, and then he realized that others supported him only because he was the son of Shibi Khan, and if he really wanted to talk about prestige, he had no prestige at all, except for his relatives and his mother's tribe, there were no loyal people at all.
"Big brother, what now?" Ashina and the association asked with trepidation.
Because Qin Qiong and Yelu Chu only brought 20,000 cavalry, they would only rob and kill reinforcements, and could not completely block Shuofang, so the news outside the city, the two brothers Ashina and Shi Bobi still knew very well, seeing that the army was getting closer and closer, and their own reinforcements were far away, they couldn't help but not despair.
In fact, this is also normal, the original history of Jieli Khan reused Zhao Deyan, wanted to reform like the Central Plains, and reused the Hu people, but not so much to the Turks, which caused many people to be dissatisfied, so that many Turks supported Ashina and Shibaobi.
Now that the Turkic strength has been greatly damaged, they all know that this is the time of unanimity with the outside world, no matter how big or small the tribe is, no one wants to make trouble, so the two brothers Ashina and Shi Bobi do not have many very loyal supporters.
"If you don't learn from your father Khan, you will be a vassal to the Central Plains! In the future, when the strength is strong, I will try to be powerful! Seeing that the eldest brother was silent, Ashina and the association rate continued.
"Alas! Brother can be regarded as seeing through, there are not many people who are willing to follow us with all their hearts and pay tribute to Zou Changfeng, which is not a good thing, after all, Zou Changfeng is also a hero, and his father Khan has been defeated in his hands. Tuli Khan said wistfully.
"It's just that Zou Changfeng may not be willing to accept us as a vassal!" Ashina and the association rate hesitated, he also had a flash of inspiration when it came to being a minister, and he really wanted to do it, but he didn't know whether it was right or wrong, and he didn't know what to do.
"Second brother, when you go out of the city, as long as they accept us as vassals, all conditions will be promised to them." Tuli Khan's eyes froze, and he said firmly.
"I'm going?" Ashina and the association stood up in surprise and pointed to themselves.
"Yes, there you go! If I go, I will be arrested directly, is there still a need to be a minister? Tuli Khan said angrily.
"It's not! Big brother, why don't you arrange for someone to go casually! Ashina and the association rate hurriedly said.
"Look at you, what does this look like? Is he still the son of Father Khan? What are you afraid of? The two countries are at war, and they don't cut it! Besides, just let you pass the word, whatever the conditions, just promise them! The Turki Khan glared at his brother and shouted angrily.
"Really won't kill me?" Ashina, the association rate still asked a little uneasily.
"The Central Plains has always been a state of etiquette, and it will never kill you!" Tuli Khan assured.
Ashina and Shi Bobi have always loved the Central Plains culture very much, so they know these rules better, but he still hasn't said a word in his heart, if he really wants to meet a violent general, although he will not lose his life, but it is inevitable to be beaten with a stick or lose some parts.
It's not that he wants to pit his younger brother, it's just that there is no suitable person to use it at present, which is a bit embarrassing, young people love face, so they naturally don't want outsiders to know.
