Chapter 143: Berham Dies
、、、、、、、、、、
He was anxious, but he still had a glimmer of expectation, because he had already sent his most capable lieutenant to do so, leading fifty troops, pretending to be the personal guard of Shibi Khan, and went to the camp of Princess Yicheng to carry out the assassination. As long as that side can succeed, he does not believe that the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and the Eastern Turks will not break down.
At this moment, under Berhan's orders, the sleepy-eyed Western Turkic soldiers ran out of the tent in a panic. However, time passed, some people did not even find weapons, some people only wore single clothes, the soldiers could not find the officers, and the officers did not find the soldiers to which they belonged, so they could only barely get together.
And when the soldiers of the Western Turks were still in chaos, the Turks had already led the five Eastern Turkic cavalry to kill.
When Bonham looked over, he saw that a black line in the sky was rapidly thickening, and the gradually dull sound of horses' hooves was getting louder and louder as the Turkic cavalry approached.
"Quick! Take out your bow and arrows, and let me shoot them against the enemy! ”
"Spread out for me and shoot arrows behind the fence!"
"Don't you want to be a target for the enemy?"
Bonham looked at his panicked subordinates and yelled as he began to issue a series of orders.
"Hehe, I'm just starting to think about lining up now, isn't it too late?" Yu Ming looked at the Western Turkic soldiers who were standing at the gate of the camp and began to line up chaotically, and couldn't help but show a mockery on his face.
If the Western Turks were well prepared and lined up, even if the Turkic cavalry could break through their defensive positions, they would have to pay a heavy price.
It's just that the time they spend preparing is shorter. A lot of people are not prepared.
People kept running out of tents and into the queue at the door.
Some had just taken off their armor and were ready to go to bed, and now they had to put it back on immediately.
Some people are so panicked that they even take the wrong weapon.
Even the soldiers who were already standing in line at the gate of the camp were also sparsely standing, and they did not form a complete formation at all.
The Eastern Turk cavalry, armed with spears and sabers, only trembled slightly after passing through the rain of arrows from the Western Turkic archers, and some of the hapless guys were unlucky enough to be shot. They fell off their horses with a scream, but before they could cry for help, they were trampled into pulp by the iron hooves of their companions who followed behind them in a puff of smoke.
However, this distance was really short, and the archers of the Western Turks did not shoot a row of arrows in a unified manner. It's all subconsciously shooting arrows indiscriminately. So, having inflicted some minor casualties on the enemy, Tuli led his own men to the camp gate.
From the moment the soldiers of both sides fought head-on, Berham knew that he had been completely defeated. Although there are not many enemies coming, they are all elite. And the leader of the man, Berham, also recognized it, and it was actually a strange tuli.
"Immediately inform the falconers, report our attack to the Monhamhoand and the Celebe, and ask them to send an army to rescue me immediately." Bonham almost yelled at his herald.
"I just don't know if it's too late?" Bonham looked at the back of the herald running wildly and smiled bitterly. It's just that he doesn't know that this attack was not done by Shibi Khan at all.
"Let's go together! Fight the enemy! "Seeing that the matter has come to this, Bohan has no choice but to fight to the death.
He was the first to raise his spear and shouted: "Brothers, for the honor of the warriors of the Western Turks, fight the enemy!" ”
With that, Bonham led his personal guards and met the Eastern Turkic cavalry that was viciously pounced.
At the same time, Yuming also gave the order to attack.
I saw more than 1,000 Sui soldiers armed with crossbows, quickly approaching the camp, and then shot sharp arrows with anesthetic at the Western Turkic soldiers who were fighting in a mess inside.
The two armies immediately cuffed together. A sword and sword shadow, people turned on their backs.
However, the outcome of this scuffle ...... It was not so much a battle as a massacre.
The more than five Western Turkic soldiers who were not even standing in the queue were not fully prepared and rushed up in the face of the 1,500 cavalry that were well prepared and murderously pounced, and the whole line collapsed after less than half an hour of fighting.
The Eastern Turkic cavalry, armed with sabers, pursued the fleeing Western Turkic soldiers with high morale, and the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of blades colliding, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of Western Turkic soldiers when they were killed.
What frightened Bonham the most was that the masked men dressed in black, with their heads and faces covered, and armed with short crossbows, were all ruthless and ruthless. And the short crossbow in their hands seems to be very lethal. The Western Turkic soldiers who fought against them were instantly knocked out of their horses by a single arrow, and fell headlong to the ground, unable to fight the enemy for a few more rounds.
So, the wolf-like Eastern Turk cavalry, together with those black-clad masked men, rushed into the camp of the Western Turks, killing corpses all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed. Even Bonham was slashed by Tuli after being hit by a stray arrow. In the end, less than twenty people of the entire Western Turkic envoy corps escaped.
Moreover, there were less than twenty people, and Yu Ming ordered them to be released, because he wanted these people to bring the news of Tuli's killing of Bohan back to the Western Turks, so that there would be a complete break between the Eastern and Western Turks. After all, Tuli is the beginning of the Khan, and even if Du Ji denies it, if he wants to make it clear that this attack and killing incident has nothing to do with him, the Western Turks will not believe him.
It was only after a glimmer of dawn began to emerge that the fierce battle gradually subsided.
Yu Ming looked at the time at this time, and it only took more than two hours from the beginning of the Eastern Turkic cavalry to the end of the battle. More than 1,000 members of the Western Turkic envoys had been slaughtered, and the camp was littered with burning tents and groaning wounded soldiers.
"Leave some men to clean up the battlefield and treat our wounded. Brother Tuli, let's go to the Khan together! I think by this time, the Khan should be able to make up his mind! Yu Ming said lightly.
"General Yu, you can really do it! I didn't expect that we would be able to easily defeat these Western Turks with just over a thousand men and just over two hours, while our own casualties were so small that there were less than two. "Tuli is now convinced by Yuming. The battle plan he made was really powerful.
"Hehe, we're timing it right. And they had no idea that they would be attacked in a well-guarded place like the tooth tent. Just as they were about to set up camp, they attacked them. Of course, thanks to Wei Chi Jingde and my senior sister Red Sleeves, they led the scout team of brothers to kill all the scouts stationed on the periphery, otherwise after these scouts went back to report, Bohan would have been prepared. Even if we can win, we will surely suffer heavy casualties. Yuming said with a smile.
"Hmmm! Without further ado, I will immediately report to my father, after all, there are still two enemies that have not been destroyed. We're going to take them by surprise before they can react! At this time, Tuli's confidence also increased. He also imagined that his grandfather, Qimin Khan, had become a hero admired by everyone in the Turks, blessed the steppe, and became famous all over the world.
However, when they returned to the camp of the Sui Dynasty envoys twenty miles away, they saw more than 50 corpses lying on the ground, all dressed in the costumes of the Eastern Turkic royal guards. Nearby, another team of Eastern Turkic royal guards was counting the bodies.
And Princess Yicheng, Yu Chengdu, Red Sleeves and others all stood aside, watching the Turkic people who were being counted.
At this time, seeing everyone coming back, Yu Chengfang said with a smile: "Brother Wuji is still thoughtful, those Western Turks really sent more than fifty masters, pretending to be the personal guards of Shibi Khan, saying that they would take the princess to see the Khan, but as soon as we interrogated them, they immediately showed their feet. ”
Princess Yicheng also said gratefully: "Fortunately, with the protection of General Yu and the girl with red sleeves, I was saved from being attacked and killed by these wicked people. The attackers had all been killed, and immediately informed the commander of the Khan's personal guard in the tooth tent, who saw that the matter was very important, and was afraid that dragging the corpses back to the tooth tent would have a great impact, so he temporarily dragged them here to count them. Results should be coming soon! ”
Yu Ming smiled and stopped talking. With Yu Chengdu and Red Sleeves personally protecting Princess Yicheng, there are only fifty or so sneak attackers, even if they are all elite people, they will definitely not be pleased.
By this time, the Turkic commander who had inventoried the corpses had already identified the attacker. A look of shock and anger suddenly appeared on his face.
He bowed his hand to Yuming and the others, "Thank you to a few adults from the Sui Dynasty for protecting my family!" I can already see who these people are from the side of these people who are pretending to be my royal guards. Please rest for a while, and I will report this to the Khan at once!" ”
"Okay! We are waiting for you! Eldest Sun Wuji smiled slightly. He knew in his heart that after Shibi Khan knew about this and that Bohan had been killed, he would definitely take the initiative to invite them to discuss the matter of defending against the enemy.
In fact, the roaring flames and faint shouts of killing in the Western Turkic camp had already alarmed several Turkic patrol soldiers not far from here. When they saw this, they were also shocked, and hurriedly went back to report to Shibi Khan.
When Shibi Khan was shocked, he immediately ordered the whole army to mobilize, and then asked Jieli to go to the rescue.
However, just before Jieli set off, Tuli ran back covered in blood.
He brought the most accurate news: he told Shibi Khan that because the Western Turks sent troops to attack Princess Yicheng's camp, they wanted to kill the princess and force the Eastern Turks to break with the Sui Dynasty. Fortunately, he was rescued by Yu Chengdu, the brother of Yu Ming, the deputy envoy of the Sui army.
In order to counterattack the enemy, he and the Sui army launched a surprise attack together, exterminating the Western Turkic envoys, and Bohan was killed by him, and only a few enemies escaped. At the same time, the scouts of the Sui Dynasty also found the Wanmurwei army in the Death Sands, and the 50,000 troops of the Tiele Department also roamed eighty miles away......
Shibi Khan looked at his son, and as soon as his mind turned, he already understood that his son must have been instigated by the Sui envoy to be their vanguard. He had no choice but to sigh: "The matter has stopped here, and it is useless for us to complain again!" ”
He then turned to Tuli and said, "Tuli, go and invite Lord Changsun and General Yu to come over, and let's discuss together how to deal with the current situation!" ”
