Chapter 176: Bad News (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
"Go south to the Central Plains and conquer Chang'an!"
"Go south to the Central Plains and conquer Chang'an!"
Listening to the thunderous voice, Jieli Khan was full of ambition, squinted his eyes, and was about to give the order to march. However, at this moment, Yi Nan, the eldest son of Xue Yantuo Khan, who lost his bowl, asked several of his own soldiers to carry him up.
He was originally the leader of the Xue tribe, and since he was twenty years old, he led the soldiers of his headquarters to continuously invade the Yantuo tribe, and gradually annexed it, and finally formed the most powerful Xue Yantuo tribe in Tiele, with a total of more than 500,000 people in the tribe, and more than 100,000 people attached to it.
He had three sons, the eldest son Yinan, the second son Xue Luo, and the third son Xue Fang, the eldest son Yinan was the heir to the throne of the Khan, sitting in the headquarters, and the second son and the third son were by his side and were in charge of the army for him.
At this time, Yi Nan is no longer the burly young man who knows Yi Lost Bowl and is fierce and fierce, swallowing mountains and mountains, and full of fierce spirit. Instead, his face was sallow, his breath was weak, and he looked like he was weak and could breathe at any time.
"My son, what's wrong with you?" Yi lost his bowl and trembled, and there was a feeling that the sky was falling apart.
"Father Khan, the tribe is gone, and the tribe let the Sui army snatch it......" Yi Nan said weakly, and briefly told the story.
Compared with the Tongluo Department closed in the Kent Valley, Xue Yantuo attaches great importance to vigilance, and after Yi lost the bowl and left the headquarters, Yi Nan regarded defense as the most important thing. When the Sui army attacked, Yi Nan got the news as soon as possible, and dug trenches around the tribe to block them with fences, and the gaps in the fences were blocked by wooden planks, which was completely designed for cavalry and strong crossbows.
Qin Qiong got the enemy to defend himself, so he simply raised the torches generously that night to attack, and the 20,000 soldiers had two torches in their hands to form a winding huge fire dragon to deter the enemy with a sudden military momentum.
The momentum of the Sui army made it difficult for Yi Nan to sleep, and then a raging fire burned, and he fought with the Sui army to the end.
With the help of the light in the other tribe, Qin Qiong took in the situation of Xue Yantuo's tribe, and Qin Qiong thought of what Cao Di said in the debate, "Husband fights, courage also." One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. ", and believed that the other party's morale was at a peak in order to meet the Sui army and defend the country. At this time, the attack happened to be above the enemy's sharp edge, so he ordered the torch to be extinguished, and then rested and stood by. In order to wait until Xue Yantuo's momentum declined, he would attack again.
Yi Nan looked at the mighty army, and had already done a good job of inciting and encouraging before the war, inspiring the tribe's heart to fight to the death with the bad situation, and inciting the courage of the tribe soldiers with the concept of protecting the family, so as to stimulate the morale of the entire tribe.
Outcome......
The opponent's torches were all extinguished, only giving him a dark night, and Yi Nan knew that the art of war and tactics he had learned were too much worse than those of the Central Plains who were well versed in military situations.
As the son of the Khan who took on the first responsibility, Yi Nan was a little at a loss, and his self-confidence was also greatly hit, he wanted to resist, and wanted to lead his people out of the tribe, but he didn't know how many enemies there were, and where the enemy was. In the end, the morale of the tribe disappeared little by little, and the last bit of opportunity to turn over was lost.
When Xue Yantuo's fighting spirit was lost, the Sui army's offensive began. Qin Qiong first fired a series of powerful crossbow arrows, and then used Niu Jinda to lead the heavy infantry as the vanguard.
Sure enough, Xue Yantuo's dense arrow feathers shocked Qin Qiong slightly, and almost all of their arrow feathers were scattered among the soldiers, and there were very few missed shots. If you don't have a certain foundation, you can't do this.
The name of the grassland people who are good at shooting is definitely not in vain
But at the forefront were the hoplites, with swords in one hand and shields in the other, hooking their bodies and hiding them in their shields like turtles.
As the only shield-wielding class, they have long been trained in this area, even if an arrow hits the body, there are heavy armor blades to block it, at most they are only injured by a little flesh and skin, and only a small number of unlucky people are pierced by the arrow feather through the gap in the shield, and the shot is critical and falls to the ground.
After paying the price of more than 100 people, the Sui army approached the camp.
The fortifications of the camp were so simple that Niu Jinda just kicked his feet, and a fence fell to the ground. He broke into the camp first, and the soldiers behind him skillfully smashed the remaining fences to facilitate the entry of the rear army.
There was hardly any suspense in this battle, and Yi Nan tried every means to stop the Sui army, but when he gathered his heavy troops to confront him head-on, the Sui army's ten thousand troops launched a deadly attack from the other three sides, and the only way out in the end was to fight and flee.
"Poof".
Yi lost the bowl and fell to his knees, he never expected that because of his greed, he took away most of the troops, but in this cold winter, he actually heard the news of the broken clan, at this moment, his heart was broken. Deprived of the tribe's offerings, he was like a rootless wanderer. After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What about the clansmen?" ”
"Death to death, escape to escape, scatter to disperse!" Yi Nan left big tears in his eyes, and said, "The Sui army is gone, and they burned up the entire tribe's supplies in one fell swoop!" The tribesmen escaped for a while, but they couldn't escape this cold winter. ”
"King Khan, you have to be the master of our Xue Yantuo!" Yi lost the bowl, an old man in his fifties, and tears flowed down.
Under the persecution of Shibi Khan, he swung the butcher's knife at the three tribes of Qibi, Hui and Hun, although it was a helpless move, but the three Tiele tribes who were victimized by him would not think so, they hated Yi Lost Bowl, the executioner who opened the knife to the same clan, so there was an alliance against Xue Yantuo and against the Turks!
Yi lost the bowl knowing that this rift could not be repaired, so he simply agreed to Jieli Khan, married his daughter, prepared for Jieli's momentum, and completely annexed Tiele, this time in order to seek Jieli's support, but also for the wealth of the Central Plains, under the instigation of Jieli Khan, he mobilized ninety percent of his subordinates in one breath to expand and attach, but this side has not yet acted, but the rear has let the Sui army destroy it in one fell swoop, and cattle, sheep and horses have become the opponent's trophies. Thinking that he has worked hard for many years and has lost almost half of it, a heart is plucked out of the cold.
Looking at his new father-in-law, Jieli also felt sympathy, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, I don't share the sky with the Sui Dynasty, and your hatred is the hatred in my heart." I will definitely pay a terrible price for the Sui Dynasty. I will appease your people. And as long as we make a profit from going south, I will give you 10% of the supplies. He deliberately mentioned the Sui army and Yicheng materials, just to arouse Yi Lost's hatred and greed, and let him stay and fight with him in the south.
Yi lost his head and shook his head miserably: "The tribe was destroyed, and the clansmen were killed in the wilderness. Those who are lucky enough to escape are homeless, and they will not survive if they are not resettled. It's all because of my greed. This big mistake has been made, and we will not go back to make up for it. How do I face my daddy? With the approval of King Wanghan, Yi lost his body and withdrew his army to gather the Sisan people to prepare for this damned winter. ”
The nest was kicked, Xue Yantuo suffered heavy losses in economic materials, and he would definitely not be able to survive the winter for about a month, so he could only go back to collect the people at present, and borrow some materials from the brother tribes first, how many people he could receive, how many people he could live, and he could only resign himself to fate.
Jieli sighed: "You guys be careful all the way, you also suffered this loss for me." I will give you a certain amount of compensation to help you survive this winter, and I will first give you 100,000 sheepskins, 100,000 sheep, and 10,000 catties of barley. ”
