Chapter 149: Assault Tieler
、、、、、、、、、、
At the same time, fifty miles from the Turkic tent, on the shores of the Blue Lake. Menghan, the leader of the Tiele tribe, had ordered the 50,000 Tiele army to stop advancing and camp by the lake to rest. It was only twenty miles away from the original planned rendezvous point, but Meng Han did not dare to let the troops go any further, because he had no contact with the Murowei army who planned to converge.
Meng Han, a middle-aged man about fifty years old, stood in a large, brightly lit tent, looked at the map on the table, and asked Kubrai, who was standing beside him, "Still can't get in touch with the people of Murowe?" ”
Kubrai was in charge of scouting and reconnaissance matters, and was his right-hand man.
"Leader, I have sent out more than a dozen scouts, but few of them have returned, and according to those who came back by luck, after they left the army, they were attacked by enemy marksmen within ten miles, and there were many of them, fortunately they ran fast, otherwise they would not have come back." Kubrai hurriedly reported.
"In my opinion, the enemy wants to cut us off from the Murowei people, and then break them down individually." Meng Han deserved to be an old fox, and he judged Yu Ming's combat intentions at once.
But it was useless to see it, he didn't know where the Brother Zellebel had been, nor what was going on with his ally. The only good news was that the scouts who had gone to scout the Turkic Tooth Tent had returned safely. They said that they saw that the new Turkic successor Shibi Khan was still in the camp, and that the camp was full of flags and people, and it looked like there were tens of thousands of people.
"It seems that the Turkic army is still stationed in the tent, but I guess they are about to attack!" Meng Han stroked his long beard under his chin and muttered to himself.
"Leader, according to his subordinates, the Turks may attack the Murwei first, after all, they are fewer and the closest to the Turkic tent. After Berham was killed, I think the Turks must have learned from their captives about the current situation they are facing. If the Eastern Turks want to fight to the death, they are afraid that they will attack the weaker Murwei people first, and only after winning will they move to attack our army again! Ku Bulai lowered his head slightly, and said solemnly.
If Yu Ming was here, he would be very surprised, because this Kubulai had guessed his plan so accurately.
"Hmmm! This is also very likely, but I think the Murwei people are also good at fighting, and the number is comparable to the army left behind by the Turkic tent, even if the Duji guy attacks with all his strength and has the help of the Qiansui army, it will be difficult to annihilate them...... And when we are exhausted from the battle between the two of them, and then kill from the back of the Turks, we will inevitably win the battle and lay the foundation for the victory of this war! Meng Han pondered for a moment, and then his square eyes shone brightly.
Just as the Tiele people were thinking about how to attack, another scout rushed into the tent in a panic and shouted, "Leader, the Turks are coming!" There are about 10,000 people in total......"
"What? The Turks did not attack the Murwei first, but attacked us first? Haven't they found the Murowei lurking in the sands of death? When Kubrai heard this, his face suddenly became a little unbearable, because he had just said that the Turks would attack the Murwei people first, and then attack their Tiele tribe.
"Humph! Regardless of whether he found out that the Murwei people did not! Anyway, this war between us and the Turks is inevitable! It's just that this Ji really looks up to me! As the saying goes, persimmons are soft pinched. He really thinks of us as soft persimmons! Meng Han snorted coldly, and then ordered, "Take out the armor for me!" I want to see if the future ruler of the steppe will be his Duji, or whether I will be Menghan! ”
In fact, his ambition is not small, and he intends to let the Tiele tribe replace the Turks as the leader of the alliance in the steppe. It's just that neither he nor Kubrai knew that the Murwei people had been defeated, and even Lebel had been killed.
"Woo-woo-woo-" The low sound of the horn sounded again, echoing across the grassland, and the 50,000 troops of the Tiele people had all walked out of the camp, mounted their horses and marched forward slowly.
Opposite them was the 10,000-strong army of the Turks, separated by less than five miles.
In the Chinese camp of the Turks, there were heavy cavalry with thousands of men and horses in armor. This is the ironclad cavalry led by Yu Ming himself.
The reason why Menghan attacked the Turkic tent this time was also after some consideration. First, he had already married into the Western Turks and had a strong ally. Second, he had long been dissatisfied with his subordinate status to the Turks. In the past, he had been holding back, because the Qimin Khan had high prestige and all the tribes on the steppe submitted to him.
But now that the Qimin Khan was poisoned and died, the Eastern Turks were in chaos, and the Western Turks, Goryeo, and Murwei were jointly involved. Naturally, he became a lot bolder.
And Bonham had also made it clear to him that if he did not agree to form an alliance with the Western Turks, he would let him and Zhelebe jointly launch an attack and annihilate the Duji and the Eastern Turk Ashina near the Turkic tent. And he Menghan will take the place of Duji and become the new lord of the steppe.
Such a heavy promise made Meng Han moved. Although he knew that the true lord of the steppes would be the Western Turkic Khan. But the steppe is so big, in the original territory of the Eastern Turks, the Khan of Shekui must also appoint a deputy to help manage it. And whether it is in terms of military exploits or marriage, he Menghan is the most suitable candidate.
It's just that such a beautiful prospect will not be realized until the 10,000 Turkic army in front of you is completely wiped out.
The two armies approached slowly, and the distance between them was less than a mile, and Meng Han rode a horse and stood proudly under his banner. His gaze grimly stared at the enemy in front of him.
"Chuluo, Jieli, and Tuli are here! But I didn't see Duji. Kubrai muttered.
"Humph! This guy has always been as timid as a mouse, how dare he fight in person? He must still be hiding in his own camp...... But we don't have to worry, we can kill his 10,000 troops first, and then kill the Turkic tent in one go, and capture Duji alive! Meng Han snorted coldly.
His words were full of anger, so that the Turks on the opposite side could hear them clearly.
"It's a shame to say that you Tiele people have always been the defeated soldiers of our Turks. This time, I dared to take the initiative to violate the border, I was really impatient! After hearing this, Chu Luo couldn't help but sneer at him.
"Haha! I'm afraid you're the ones who are living impatiently, right? Kubrai laughed and said, "You probably don't know that we have formed an alliance with the Murowei people for a long time, and now Zhelebe has laid an ambush of 10,000 people in the sands of death. Now you are here to fight our Tielers. I'm afraid the people of Murowei will go straight to your lair now...... It's no surprise that Duji and your wife and children have become captives of the Murowei people! ”
After Kubrai said this, he originally thought that he could shake the military spirit of the Turks. Unexpectedly, there was a burst of laughter in the Turkic army.
"The Tiele people thought that the army of the Murwei people still existed?"
"How can their news be so closed?"
"It's no wonder that General Yu has sent a large number of sharpshooters to intercept their scouts, and it is inevitable that they will not get the news!"
The Turkic soldiers immediately began to talk.
At this time, Jieli Fang walked to the front of the formation and laughed: "In vain, I used to be a fool of you, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid!" We had already worked with the Sui army to defeat the Wanmuwei people, Zhelebe had already been killed by us, and Zheletai had also surrendered to us. ”
With that, he ordered his men to push him out.
"What? The Murwei people are finished? Zhelebe died in battle, and Zheletai surrendered? Not only Kuburai, but even Meng Han almost popped out when he heard it. If this is the case, then does it not mean that the Turks, after defeating the Murwe, suffered only 4,000 casualties?
They also knew that the fighting power of the Murwei people was on par with their own, if the Turks were really so powerful. Even if the Natiele people have an army of 50,000, I am afraid that they may not be able to defeat the 10,000 Turkic army in front of them.
At this moment, two Turkic soldiers had already brought the five-flowered Zheletai to the front of the battle. And many of the Tiele people have seen Zheletai, and now everyone no longer has any doubts, knowing that the people of Muwei can no longer be counted on.
Moreover, Meng Han also noticed that there were also Sui troops in iron armor in the Turkic army.
"It seems that the Turks have re-allied themselves with the Sui. I'm afraid that there is still the Sui army attacking the Wei people! Otherwise, the people of Murowei would not have been defeated so badly! Meng Han thought to himself.
He looked at the 10,000 enemy troops in front of him, knowing that the situation in front of him was evenly matched, and if he dragged on like this, he was afraid that the morale of his army would be greatly damaged. The situation will be even more out of control. Even if he is willing to surrender, I'm afraid that Duji won't believe him. He will appoint his brothers or pro-Turkic tribes as his leaders.
So, Meng Han suddenly waved his knife and shouted: "What are you afraid of! The enemy army is only 10,000 people, but we have a full 50,000 troops, rushing over! Kill them, and let the women and cattle and sheep of the Turkic tent be in your possession! ”
His words also aroused the morale of the Tiele people.
Immediately, in the midst of shouts and killings, 50,000 Tiele soldiers rushed forward, aroused a monstrous murderous aura, and pounced on the Sui army and the Turkic army.
Yu Ming slowly raised the spear in his hand, and he shouted loudly: "Heroes of the Great Sui, warriors of the Turks, everyone raise the spears and broadswords in their hands and cut off the enemy's head!" By defeating these enemies, we will be able to keep our homeland, our wives and children, and our children from being killed and bullied! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! All the soldiers roared, and they all remembered their families. Knowing that if you retreat, your home will be ruined and your loved ones will be killed.
Yu Ming roared, holding a spear, and led the army to rush towards the Tiele cavalry in front of him, he wanted to use this battle to establish his prestige on the grassland, and let the grassland tribes who believe in "the law of the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected" from the forest, they were terrified and trembled when they heard his name.
"Rush!" The Thousand Sui Army and the Ten Thousand Turkic Soldiers followed him closely, like a torrent of steel, piercing the heart of Tiele's army. They are confident and move forward. Because they believe that under the leadership of Yuming, they will surely win!
