Chapter 510: Left Alliance
At the beginning, when the news that King Zuo Xian had captured the Steppe Khan Court and killed the old Khan King reached the Left League, the feelings of the herdsmen of the various tribes in the Left League were extremely complicated, and they felt both panic and faint surprise.
Then all kinds of news spread, it is nothing more than that all the descendants of the golden family on the grassland have died in the Khan Court, and only King Zuo Xian can inherit the throne of the Khan King of the grassland.
As a result, the hidden worries and fears in the hearts of the herdsmen of various tribes faded away, and were replaced by surprises.
Just when the tribes of the Left League were immersed in surprise, the defeated cavalry of the Left League appeared in the Left League in twos and threes, or dozens and hundreds, and returned to their tribes in a hurry.
Their return was like a basin of cold water that poured out the joy of the tribes of the Left League.
The news they brought also made everyone fall into an ice cave, and the prince's army was defeated by the coalition forces of the Right Alliance and the Central Alliance, and it was a crushing defeat.
These people not only asked, didn't they say that only the prince could blow the horn of the golden family, and only the prince could inherit the throne of the Khan?
Doesn't it mean that the prince is only waiting for the tribes of the Central League and the Right League to come to worship in the Khan's court?
Could it be that the princess who escaped by luck can still inherit the throne of the Khan and defeat the prince with a large army?
These cavalrymen wept and explained with sad faces, I don't know where a young man appeared, and he could also blow the horn of the golden family, that is, he led the army to defeat the prince.
For a time, the hearts of the herdsmen of various tribes were colder than the cold winter weather outside.
Just when the tribes were panicking, King Zuo Xian returned to the court of the Zuo Alliance with the thousands of remnants of the defeated army that had gathered.
King Zuoxian, who had returned to the royal court, immediately issued a summoning order, and his personal guard cavalry was dispatched everywhere, going to the tribes to urge the cavalry of all tribes to gather to the royal court.
Although King Zuo Xian felt that Tang Ning would definitely not be able to resist stationing in the Khan Court for a while when he passed by, he still couldn't wait to gather the cavalry.
Now the most important thing is to gather cavalry to restore morale and stabilize people's hearts, so he wants to gather cavalry to restore morale.
And if these cavalry were allowed to remain in the tribes, it would only cause more panic among the tribes.
Although the cavalry of the various tribes who fled back did not want to fight anymore, they were forced to follow King Zuoxian's personal guards back to the royal court.
Later, King Zuo Xian sent people to the tribes to pacify, not only that, but for the cavalry gathered in the royal court, King Zuo Xian continued to send people to preach.
Preaching that the defeat was due to carelessness, because of the fatigue of the long-distance attack, the battle that is about to be faced now is in the Left Alliance, and under the favorable time, place and people, it will definitely be able to defeat the allied forces of the Central Alliance and the Right Alliance that came from the long-distance attack.
Not only that, King Zuo Xian also made a heavy promise, and one person beheaded in this battle will be rewarded with five taels of gold!
The combination of appeasement and heavy reward finally gave these cavalry the will to fight, and they were not as war-weary as they were at the beginning.
Although King Zuo Xian took a series of measures, the shadow of defeat in that battle was still difficult to dissipate in a short period of time.
Just when King Zuo Xian thought that Tang Ning would be nostalgic for the Khan's court and would not attack for a while, he was ready to boost morale and straighten out his troops and horses.
As everyone knows, Tang Ning passed by the Khan Court and did not enter the Khan Court, but after stopping to worship the old Khan King, he immediately led the army to advance to the Left League.
King Zuo Xian is still dreaming of rectifying his soldiers and horses, and Tang Ning's army has left the Central Alliance and entered the territory of the Left League.
After entering the Left Alliance, Tang Ning also suppressed the speed of the march, sprinkled a number of scouts, and walked steadily towards the grassland royal court.
After Tang Ning's army entered the Left League, the tribes of the Left League immediately sent people to report the news, and a number of horsemen went straight to the royal court day and night.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, something is wrong, the coalition is here!"
King Zuo Xian suddenly changed color after hearing this, this was too unexpected for him, he thought that Tang Ning would be stationed in the royal court for a while, but he didn't expect Tang Ning to kill him directly.
That's the royal court, whoever occupies the royal court will continue to lead the troops so decisively.
Not only did King Zuo Xian change color, but all the clan leaders around him also changed color, because they also had the same thoughts as King Zuo Xian.
I didn't expect the coalition to attack so quickly, although they knew that the coalition would definitely attack, but they were caught off guard and unprepared for such a quick attack.
King Zuo Xian saw that all the leaders of the surrounding tribes had changed color, and scolded sharply: "What's wrong!" Evil words confuse the public, mess with the hearts of our army, pull it down and cut it! ”
Immediately, King Zuoxian's personal guards rushed over and pulled the messenger down, and the messenger stayed directly, thinking that he would get some reward for working so hard to report the news.
I didn't expect to say any reward, because I lost my life if I said a wrong word!
The surrounding clan leaders were all silent when they saw King Zuo Xian so ruthless.
King Zuo Xian said in a deep voice: "The enemy army has come from afar, and the people are sleepy and lacking, we have taken advantage of the land and people, and we will be able to break the enemy army by waiting for work!" ”
The leaders of the tribes hurriedly said in unison: "What the prince said is that if you wait for work, you will definitely break the enemy army!" ”
King Zuo Xian said in a deep voice: "How do you think this battle should be fought? Everyone speaks freely, and if there is a good suggestion, this king will not hesitate to reward him! ”
Immediately, a tribal leader came out and said: "Lord Wang, we suffered a loss in the last battle and left a back hand on the other side, and we were caught off guard and suffered a defeat, this time we should also leave the rear team, if the enemy has a rear team to restrain the enemy rear team, if the enemy has no rear team, then surprise attack the enemy's left and right wings!" ”
The last battle was lost because when the two sides were stalemate, the enemy's rear team suddenly rushed out and attacked from behind to collapse the army.
So it's understandable that someone proposed to keep the back team.
Immediately, a tribal leader came out and retorted: "Lord, I don't think this plan is possible, now our troops are not as good as the enemy, and our morale is also low. ”
What this person said is not unreasonable, originally the strength of their left alliance was not as good as the combined forces of the Central Alliance and the Right Alliance, but now after the last war, they have suffered a lot of losses, and their morale has not fully recovered.
If the troops are divided again, it will be useless to divide the troops less, and if the troops are divided more, I am afraid that before the raid of the rear team, the army will be defeated first.
This is indeed a problem, for a while there were different opinions, some clan leaders supported the division of troops to leave the rear team, otherwise they could only repeat the mistakes of the past, and some people thought that the troops were at a disadvantage and could not be divided!
It all makes sense, even King Zuo Xian frowned and made it difficult to make a decision, because this battle was too critical, and if this battle was defeated, then he would have no chance to turn over.
And even if he asks for surrender, it will be useless, neither Tang Ning nor Princess Haiya will let it go.
