Chapter 490: Battle Snake Valley 8

"Defeated, defeated, defeated."

It is said that if the people of the yang world do a lot of evil, they will be taken to the underworld by the ghosts when they die, and they will be tortured by the eighteen layers of hell, and they will never be able to turn over, of which the sixteenth layer of hell is the so-called volcanic hell, there is nothing else here, only volcanoes that are burning with fire, and the punished people are under the escort of the ghosts, and they are struggling painfully on these volcanoes.

Now, the scene that appeared in front of Ashed Yuanzhen's eyes was like a scene like a volcanic hell.

Burning stones kept falling from the sky, and the Turkic warriors who dared to fight even in the face of the Immortal Heaven before fled under the attack of these fireballs, shouting, and struggling.

However, no matter how they fled, how they shouted, how they struggled, the continuous fireballs did not decrease in the slightest, and the overwhelming attacks were difficult for even the determined warriors to hold onto.

"My lord, let's go, the defeat of this battle is not a crime of war, I believe that the King of Khan can understand you."

"Considerate, yes, the Khan King will not blame me, but I can't go, tens of thousands of elite troops, once destroyed, as the commander of the army, what face do I have to live alone in the world, even if I really survive, it is just a walking corpse, if that's the case, it is better to let me die here, to be able to die on the battlefield, this is also my honor as a Turkic warrior!"

Looking at the guards kneeling in front of him, Ashide Yuanzhen sighed.

"Since the adults are unwilling to leave, we are willing to go to Huangquan with the adults."

These guards are all hardcore henchmen of Ashed Yuanzhen, who persuaded him to leave before, but also for the sake of his safety, and now since Astrid Yuanzhen wants to stay and die here, they are also willing to follow him to Huangquan together.

"No, you can't stay here and wait for death, you must break out, this battle, my Turkic warriors have died too much, it is good to be able to die a few, besides, you are still young, especially you Olgrad, although you are just one of my guards, but for so many years, I admire you very much, you not only have other Turkic warriors are brave, but also have more wit that many people do not have, if time comes, you will definitely be a big man in my Turks, but it's a pity, I originally wanted to keep you by my side to teach you for a few years, and let you out early, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, forget it, if Changsheng is really destined to be an eagle soaring for nine days, then you will definitely not fall prematurely. ”

"No, my lord, since I became your bodyguard, I have sworn that I will definitely protect your safety, and whoever wants to hurt you will step on my corpse, and now you want to stay here, then I in Orgrad will also stay here and fight side by side with you." Hearing Ashide Yuanzhen's words, a guard knelt on the ground with a sad face and said.

"Bastard thing, I'm not dead yet, you don't even listen to my words, do you want to rebel and fail, tell you, let you go out, not to run for your life, but to have a task for you to bring to the Khan King, this time the defeat of the Snake Valley, although on the one hand is the reason for my pride and carelessness, and the most important point is that the Tang people have already participated in the war, although I don't know that the Tang Dynasty is just behind the scenes, or send troops to the north today, no matter what the situation, it is extremely unfavorable for us Turks, You must tell the King of Khan, if possible, don't continue to attack Lushan City, if you can unite with the Tiele tribes, you must unite with the Tiele tribes, even if you can't unite, you must make the Tiele tribes dare not unite with the Tang Dynasty to deal with us, otherwise, it will be a nightmare for my Turks, all of you remember, whoever gets out alive must pass the news to the Khan King, do you understand? ”

Asted Yuanzhen roared.

"Subordinates obey."

In desperation, many guards could only nod in agreement.

It is said that on the battlefield, the most taboo is personal heroism, after all, in the battle of thousands of armies, even if a person's martial arts are high, he can deal with several people, so whether it is an army in ancient and modern China and abroad, the first element is to obey orders.

And the military formation is the best representative of the union of the army, if one side of the army is mighty, and the other side is bandits, rogue rabble, then even if the rabble is several times more than the regular army, the final result is that the regular army has a great hope of victory, and in the same way, the army that has always been strong, if the army is scattered, they are not far from rout.

The 30,000 Turkic army faced the attack of 40,000 Khitan cavalry, if nothing else, it was possible to fight for a day or two and not necessarily be able to distinguish the winner.

Without the protection of the military array, those Turkic soldiers who were still extremely fierce before became the prey of the Khitan army led by Shi Daring.

For a while, I saw the heads of people rolling down, as if they were mowing grass, and under the intention of the Khitan soldiers, the heads of countless Turkic soldiers fell from their necks and rolled to the ground with a grunt, revealing a look of unwillingness and incomprehension.

"Duan Changshi, the Turkic army formation has been completely broken by us, except for a few Turks who broke through, most of the remaining Turks have been killed, and the enemy commander has also been surrounded by us, but the strange thing is that he has been shouting to see you, you see......."

Shi boldly rode a fast horse, and said to Duan Jian with a little displeasure on his face.

"If you want to see me, it's interesting, it seems that this grassland Zhiduoxing has already guessed the reason for this matter, that's it, as an opponent, since it is his wish before he dies, I will also meet his request."

While speaking, Duan Jian rode his war horse and walked towards the center of the battlefield, where the blood wolf battle flag of the Turkic army was still standing here, but the blood wolf battle flag at this time was no longer as shocking as when it was just raised, but more of a symbol that showed the last dignity of the Turkic army.

"Why, it's understandable that you're unhappy about this defeat, this is a big victory, why do you still look unhappy, it's because you can't do it."

As he walked, Duan Jian asked Shi Daring with a smile, and although he already had the answer in his heart, he still asked.

"My lord, it stands to reason that this battle has been won, we should always be happy, and the most important thing is that we have defeated 50,000 Turkic elite troops, which can be described as a shame before the snow, and we should be happy, but the last general is still a little unhappy in his heart, in the eyes of the last general, this war should be a sword and sword, and fight to the death, but this time Lord Yan bombarded wildly, we won so inexplicably, the last general can't figure out how to think about it, when did this war become so easy, if the war was so easy, So what did we do when we fought to the death with those colleagues before? Shi Daring said with a look of annoyance.

Hearing Shi Daring's complaints, Duan Jian laughed happily and said, "Hahaha, I thought you Shi Daring was really heartless, and never knew what it was like to be sad, I didn't expect that there were things you couldn't figure out, forget it, since you can't figure it out, then let me ask you, do you think that a war should come from the knife and rob it, and you have to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to be considered a war, but have you thought about it, you are happy, what will those dead brothers think, and what will the relatives in those brothers' families think, They are all the big sons of our Tang Dynasty, and they will obviously be of great use in the future, but they will die in these senseless wars, do you think they will be happy? ”

"This .........."

Seeing that Shi Daring hesitated and couldn't speak, Duan Jian continued, "Why, hesitate in my heart, let me tell you, a battle like today's will happen countless times in the future, although I, Duan Jian, am not a saint, but as long as it is a follower of my soldiers, I will do my best to ensure that they can survive, no matter what method is used, despicable, noble, sneak attack, assassination, whether it is good or bad, as long as it is useful, I will definitely do it, if you really don't want to, You can return to the Duhu Mansion here, and I Duan Jian will never stop you, but if you decide to stay, you must get used to my style of doing things, where to go, you think about it, drive. ”

Speaking of this, Duan Jian added the belly of the horse and drove the war horse forward, leaving Shi Daring with a confused face to stay behind.

"What did Duan Changshi say this, what to leave, stay, to be able to meet such a senior official who thinks about his subordinates, I am too late to be happy, how can I leave, only a fool will leave, if every battle can be so easy, isn't my official also promoted faster, this kind of good thing, who would dislike it."

After saying this to himself, Shi Daring also added a horse's belly, urging the war horse to run in the direction of Duan Jian.

The Snake Valley was not too far from the Turkic camp, and with a cup of tea, Duan Jian arrived at the tent of the commander of the Chinese army of the Turkic army, which was surrounded by layers of the Khitan army.

Although they didn't know Duan Jian, when those Khitan soldiers saw Duan Jian, they were still very obedient and made a small way.

Through the layers of Khitan soldiers, the big tent of the Turkic Chinese army appeared in front of him, but at this time, this place seemed extremely depressed, except for more than a dozen scarred Turkic warriors standing in front of them with knives and guns, and their eyes were meaninglessly looking at the Khitan soldiers in front of them, it was an old man standing behind them.

It is said that it is an old man, in fact, from the appearance, because of the bad living environment on the grassland, the average age of the grassland people is not very old, especially men, because of the hard life, their average age is even smaller, and it is considered a long life to live past 30 years old.

Therefore, although this old man looked like he was fifty or sixty years old in terms of appearance, Duan Jian knew that he was only in his forties at most, and if he was in the Central Plains, this age was the best age in his life, and he was in the time of working hard.

Just as Duan Jian was looking at the old man, the old man was also looking at Duan Jian

"Your Excellency is the one who commanded this Khitan army, lured me and tens of thousands of Turkic troops here, and then annihilated tens of thousands of my elite troops in one fell swoop!" The old man, or Ashide Yuanzhen, opened his mouth and said to Duan Jian.

"The kid has offended a lot, and I ask the old gentleman to forgive me, it's just that the two countries are in a confrontation, either you die or I live, I hope the old gentleman can forgive the kid for his unscrupulous means." After Duan Jian saluted Ashid Yuanzhen, he spoke.

"Hahaha, hahaha, young age, but not coquettish, not tired of defeat, and such a scheme, Datang is really a place that even Changshengtian loves, why don't I have a character like you in the Turks, it's a pity, it's a pity!" Hearing Duan Jian's words, Ashde Yuanzhen laughed and said.

"Old gentleman, forgive me, the prestige of Ashid Yuanzhen can be described as a prestige in the northern Xinjiang grassland, who doesn't know, who doesn't know, it can be said that Ashina Guduolu can have today, and the Turkic tribes can develop to this day, which is very much due to your six points of credit, why are you so arrogant, to be honest, compared to you, the kid is just a beginner, this time it's just a little bit of luck for the kid, otherwise, if we go head-to-head, who loses and who wins is not necessarily? Duan Jian said modestly.

For this, Duan Jian has a deep understanding, in front of the loser, being modest, is not a bad thing, on the contrary, at this time, many losers will subconsciously reveal a lot of useful news because of frustration, and this is the most important place for the official Duan Jian to learn, and at the same time, this is also the reason why Duan Jian was able to become stronger and stronger in his previous life.

Ashide Yuanzhen seemed to be shocked by Duan Jian's modest attitude, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Hey, it's too late to say anything, today is my death, it is said that people die like lights go out, and the dead can't care about the living, where to go next, let those who are alive do it, before I die, I only have one question I want to ask you, whether this time it was arranged by the Tang Dynasty or everything caused by chance."

Ashide Yuanzhen asked with a sigh.

"Even if it is a coincidence and a human effect, although this northern frontier land used to belong to the Turkic land, but since the age of Taizong belonged to my Tang Dynasty, the northern Xinjiang grassland has been stable and stable, but since the rise of Ashina Guduolu, the entire northern Xinjiang grassland has completely become a chaotic battlefield, fighting everywhere, killing everywhere, a good piece of pure land on earth, but it has become a killing land, therefore, after the imperial court appointed me as the governor of Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, I made up my mind to restore the tranquility of this pure land, And the only way to restore the former tranquility is to eliminate all the source of turmoil, and that is the Turks. ”
