On May 25, after a few days of exploration, the Western Qin Huya Army detective outpost probed the camp of the Khazar army, and Zhao Ziliang originally wanted to lead all the troops and horses to attack, but he was worried that Habil would avoid the battle after receiving the news, which would cause the army to mobilize the crowd and affect the overall combat strength of the army.

After consideration, Zhao Ziliang ordered the leader of the Ji Thorn Tribe, Kuoer Kotai, to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to set off to the camp of the Khazar army, and at the same time, the army also set off and slowly approached the camp of the Khazar army.

The Khazar sentinel soon discovered the 5,000 cavalry of the Ji Thorn Division, and Habil immediately asked a commander of 10,000 commanders to lead 5,000 cavalry to meet the battle, the Khazars and the Pechenegs are both steppe barbarians, and the Khazars have a slightly higher degree of civilization, but this high level of civilization has not been translated into combat effectiveness, and the equipment of both sides is similar, and the Pechenegs are more courageous because of their poor living conditions and poor living environment.

After an hour of fighting, the Khazars were losing more force than the Pechenegs, and the Khazars began to try to retreat, but the Pechenegs clung to each other.

At this moment, another Khazar cavalry rushed over from the side to disintegrate the offensive of the Pechenegs, and successfully rescued the retreating Khazar army, this Khazar army that was still retreating just now saw that there were reinforcements, and immediately turned around and attacked the Pechenegs together, the Pechenegs could not resist the pincer attack, the leader Koer Kotai was killed on the spot, the cavalry of the Ji Thorn Department quickly dispersed after losing their leader, the Kzar army took advantage of the victory to chase and kill, killing more than 2,000 people, and only 2,000 people in the Ji Thorn Department fled back to the camp of the Western Qin army.

Looking at the broken corpse of Kuoer Kotai, Zhao Ziliang sighed, and said to the six commanders of the Ji Thorn Department: "Everyone, Koer Kotai is dead, and your Ji Thorn Department has also lost its leader, and the elders of your own department have also moved west with their clansmen, and now you have more than 2,000 people left to be homeless, this king can't ignore you, if you don't dislike it, you can join our Western Qin Army, and this king will treat you and other Western Qin Army soldiers equally." You guys can think about it! You can also tell the soldiers below about this and see how they choose! ”

The six commanders of the Ji Thorn Department discussed for a while, and then reported the matter to all the remaining Ji Thorn Department cavalry compatriots, and Zhao Ziliang ordered Kuo'er Kotai to be buried according to the royal etiquette.

Zhao Ziliang's actions moved the remaining cavalry of the Ji Thorn Division, and they had nowhere to go at this time, since they were able to join the Western Qin Army, of course they were unwilling to be displaced, so the remaining Ji Thorn cavalry joined the Western Qin Army, Zhao Ziliang ordered the two thousand people to be organized into three battalions, and temporarily incorporated into the three legions.

On May 28, the weather was already relatively hot, which was nothing for the Western Qin army, but this hot weather made the Khazars unbearable, and they had to go to the north every summer to escape the heat, but this time the battle was not in the north.

"Wei Meng, Wei Meng!"

"The last general (Little Khan) is here!" The two stepped forward.

Zhao Ziliang ordered: "This king orders you to lead your own men and horses from the left flank and right flank to approach and attack the Khazar army!" ”

"Yes!"

Wei Meng's Fourth Army cavalry had 9,000 horses, and under his leadership, these 9,000 elite cavalry marched from the left to the camp of the Khazar army, while Vechiel led more than 17,000 men of Kimak's army to march to the camp of the Khazar army from the right, the two armies were sixty miles apart, which was not far for the cavalry, but the news transmission on this steppe was inconvenient, and it was not too easy to contact each other in time to report the situation.

Soon after the departure of these two troops and horses, Zhao Ziliang took the Second Army and the Escort Army and the Dragon Guard Army to set out to march from the middle road to the camp of the Khazar army, and the middle road was only forty miles away from the left and right wings.

"Newspaper—"

"Stop!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and stopped, and the army behind him also stopped advancing.

A soldier of the Huya Army galloped in on horseback and reported: "King, General, the Khazarian army is no longer where it is, and our brothers are tracking their whereabouts!" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately arrived: "Continue to investigate, and report as soon as there is news!" ”

"No!"

The noble man on the left said to Zhao Ziliang: "King, it seems that this Habil is very cunning, this is their territory, they are familiar with the terrain, they know where to hide, they know where to cross the river easily, if they keep hiding with us, this battle is really not easy to fight!" ”

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin, frowned, and said: "It seems that this king is a little underestimated this time, this is different from the Mobei grassland, there are many tribes on the Mobei grassland, and they are not united, but here are all Khazar people, they are very united!" Send orders to Wei Meng and Wei Er, and let them quickly lead their troops to move closer to our department! ”

"Yes, King!" After the herald agreed, he immediately sent the herald to rush towards Wei Meng's department and the Wei'er department.

Dugu Jun asked, "Is the king worried that Habil will use the terrain that we are not familiar with here to give us a breakthrough?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The tribal leaders on the grassland are not stupid, they are very smart. They learned a variety of tactics from the scene of wolves predatoring, and concentrating their forces to break each one is one of them! ”

Early in the morning of May 30, Zhao Ziliang got up and asked, "Has Wei Mengbu returned?" ”

Wang Can said: "Wei Meng's department is moving closer to our department, but ・・・・・・ Vicky Army's department has lost two consecutive hours with us, according to the agreement, the news must be reported once every hour, and they have been wrong twice, indicating that they are only afraid that they have encountered the Khazar army and have no time to send people over!" ”

Zhao Ziliang's pupils shrank, and he immediately said: "Send the order, the army will immediately set off in the direction of the Kimak army, and send the order to Wei Meng's troops, so that they can speed up the march and move closer to our department!" ”

"No!"

Three hours later, Wei Meng's Fourth Legion joined forces with Zhao Ziliang's Second Legion, the Escort Army, and the Dragon Guard. At noon, the army arrived at the shore of Chacha Lake, and the endless sea of corpses entered Zhao Ziliang and all the soldiers of the Western Qin Army! The waters of Chacha Lake were stained red with blood, and countless vultures gnawed on the fresh corpses.

Zhao Ziliang walked over with a blushing face, and along the way, the corpses of the Kimak cavalry lay on the ground, some of which were piled up together, and a few broken flags were inserted crookedly in the pile of corpses.

When the army arrived, flocks of vultures flew into the sky with a "boom" and circled in the sky, clearly not wanting to give up the feast.

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to Xuan Shibai and asked, "Hasn't the Huya Army found any traces of the Khazar Army?" What do they eat? Have you never missed a beat, so you are all proud and complacent, and your ability to investigate has also regressed? ”

Xuan Eighteen was sweating profusely: "King, after all, this takes time, and the Khazar ranger sentry is not paper-based, and the brothers also need to work hard to deal with these people!" ”

Veil's body was found, several soldiers carried him over, after searching, the soldiers of the Western Qin Army found more than a hundred wounded Kimak soldiers on the battlefield, but even if these people are all cured, it is useless, life can only be a crime, without waiting for Zhao Ziliang's orders, Bai Xiaode asked the soldiers to solve all these Kimaks.

Two hours later, Du Fu came to report: "King, after statistics, more than 17,000 people of the Kimak Army have been wiped out, and there are still more than 12,000 Khazar corpses at the scene!" In other words, although the Khazars surrounded and annihilated the Kimak army, it was not easy to win, and judging from the number of casualties, the Khazars could only be regarded as a crushing victory! According to estimates, the Khazar Khan King Habir is now able to use less than 15,000 troops! ”

After listening to Du Fu's report, Zhao Ziliang took the map from the hands of the guards and looked at it, and after a while, he asked, "Zheng San, how much grain and grass does our army still have?" ”

Zheng San said: "King, the grain and grass can support for two months!" ”

Zhao Ziliang calculated, there are still 300,000 pounds of grain captured from Attil last time in his finger space, counting meat, it can support a month, that is, the food of the Western Qin army can also support three months of operations!

Zhao Ziliang sneered: "Okay, Habil wants to play hide and seek with me, how can I do what he wants, pass the order, the army will rest here for one night today, and set off early tomorrow morning to go straight to Samandar!" Destroy all the Khazar settlements along the way, and I wonder if he Habil can sit still! ”

Hearing this, Gao Shang's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said: "What a trick to smash the Hun royal court!" If you don't want the royal court to be destroyed by our army, Habir will inevitably lead the army to show up and fight our army head-on! And the destruction of Khazar settlements along the way will inevitably bring them heavy losses, which cannot be recovered in a year or two! ”

Zhao Ziliang was noncommittal, and said to Brehan: "Brehan, give you a task, divide your dragon guards into teams, divide them into several teams, let them scatter and attack, attack when they encounter the settlement of the Khazars, kill all the animals that can be seen, and burn all the houses, tents and grass huts!" Isn't he Habil going to play hide and seek with me, I see if he's still in the mood! Remember, you must not stay in one place for more than an hour, and leave with a single blow, without giving the Khazar cavalry a chance to catch up and let them run around! ”

Brehan clenched his fists and said, "Understood! ”

Brehan has been with Zhao Ziliang for a long time, and he is very familiar with Zhao Ziliang's use of guerrilla tactics against the Mobei tribes in Mobei, and this time he has the opportunity to personally practice and use this tactic, which is also a rare opportunity.
