After nightfall, the soldiers were full of food and drink, put on thick animal skins to protect against the cold, and after everything was ready, the army set out from the camp, and the baggage battalion drove cattle, sheep, horses, livestock and grain and grass to slow down in the rear, leaving more than 2,000 people to escort women, children and craftsmen and other captives to the sweat tent of the Zou headquarters, and the main force of the army set off to the northwest at a very fast marching speed.

Probably because of the proximity to the Ural Mountains, the further north you go, the lower the temperature, and I don't know how long the march has been, and a light rain begins to fall from the sky, and the soldiers are wearing helmets and animal skins, and the rain can only wet their faces, but not their underwear.

Zhao Ziliang looked up at the dark sky, and then at the Kimak cavalry in front of him, who was advancing with torches and couldn't see the end at a glance, turned his head and shouted: "Wang Can, what time is it?" ”

Wang Can replied loudly beside him: "King, now it's the middle of the child!" Hey, it seems that the Kimaks in front have slowed down their march! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at it and felt that the Kimak people in front of him really seemed to be busy with the marching speed, and he immediately shouted: "Zhao Lei, Zhao Lei!" ”

The rain also soaked the cloak on Zhao Lei's body, and Zhao Lei ran over and hugged his fists and said, "The child is here, what does the father command?" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the front of the team and said loudly: "You lead people to catch up and ask Vecchier, why did their Kimaks slow down their march?" ”

"Yes, Father!" Zhao Lei agreed, and greeted several of Zhao Ziliang's personal soldiers: "A few of you will catch up with me to find Vechier!" ”

After Zhao Lei left, Zhao Ziliang asked the commander of the Dragon Guard Army beside him, Brehan: "Brehan, how are the ladies arranged, it rains so hard, don't let them get drenched in the rain, this season, it's not a good thing to get sick in the rain!" ”

Brehan hurriedly said loudly: "Don't worry, the king, the ladies stay with the baggage camp behind, there is no problem in safety, and the ladies are specially equipped with carriages, even if it rains, the ladies can hide in the carriage, the rain can't get in, and the generals have all been arranged!" ”

"That's good!"

Soon, King Veyer of Kimak Khan followed Zhao Lei and others and rode over, "I've seen the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang and the others rode their horses to the side, making way for the army behind, watching the army pass through continuously, Zhao Ziliang turned his head and asked Vechier: "Vechier Khan, what's going on with your Kimak army?" Why did the march slow down? ”

Veiler touched the rain on his face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "King, it's been a continuous and rapid march for most of the night, and the sons have been bumping on horseback for so long, and the little things they eat at night have long since turned into dung, and now it is raining again, and the sons are tired, hungry and cold, and they really can't run!" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately changed his face, and said coldly in an unkind tone: "If you can't run, you have to run!" Vecchier, this king wants to remind you that you have signed a military order! Now that the soldiers are fast, and it is raining, not only will your Kimak army feel uncomfortable, but our Western Qin army will also be shivering from the cold! One hundred and twenty miles away, the men and horses of the Chathorn tribe are not having a good time, and we are going to take advantage of this rainy opportunity to overcome all difficulties and suddenly appear on their side to carry out a surprise attack, and take them by surprise, they will not think that we will attack them in the middle of the night and in such a harsh natural environment! Tell your generals and Erlang to persevere, and victory will be ours! Otherwise, if we stop, the baggage troops are still behind, we have no tents to camp now, everyone is exposed to the rain in the open air, and at dawn, not only my soldiers, but also your generals and sons will all lose their combat effectiveness, and even collective illness will occur, only by persevering, we can win, now we are ready to fly, we have to send, understand? ”

Veil gritted his teeth and said: "Understand, Xiao Khan will go back now and urge his subordinates and sons to speed up the march, whoever wants to be lazy and slippery will be killed immediately!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "That's right, you must be ruthless when you should be ruthless, otherwise you can't control these people!" ”

Soon after the vizier returned to his own men, the marching speed of the Kimak army quickly returned to its previous state, and Zhao Lei sent someone back to report to Zhao Ziliang: "Vizier returned to the army and immediately urged his generals to speed up the army, but two thousand commanders delayed the execution of the order on the grounds of lack of men and horses, and the vizier ordered to kill these two thousand commanders, and the others became frightened and began to force his generals to speed up the march!" ”

When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he sighed to the generals and officials around him: "It seems that the prestige and ability of the vizier to take over King Kimak Khan is not enough, and the commanders under his command still don't listen to him much!" ”

The noble man who was dressed in a cloak and hatted smiled and said, "Isn't this exactly the person the king needs?" If this vizier is a heroic figure, I am afraid that the king will be uneasy in his heart! ”

"Hahaha······" Zhao Ziliang laughed, shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, Mr. Gao's words are wrong!" If the vizier is a straw bale, then what is the use of me keeping him? Who can't replace him? The more talented people are, the more this king likes them! Even if he is unruly, even if he has great ambitions and evil intentions, it doesn't matter, Mr. Gao, fighting with the sky is endless; Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless; Fighting with people is endlessly fun! ”

Hearing this, Gao Shang stroked his beard and carefully recalled Zhao Ziliang's words, and laughed: "Hahaha····· The king's words are wonderful, wonderful! ”

After four hours, the army finally reached twenty miles from the camp of Chathorn. It was raining so heavily that the ranger guard posts sent by the Cha Thorn Yi tribe had already run back to the camp in the rain and hid in the camp tent.

Zhao Ziliang listened to the report of the Huya Army's reconnaissance sentry and said to Vechier: "Vechier Khan, do you hear? There is no one around the camp of Cha Thorn Yibu, it is the end of the season, it will be the end of the hour, and it will be dawn in half an hour, now is the best time to raid, you have already made a military order, the task of raiding the camp of Cha Thorn Yi is in charge of your Kimak army, immediately organize troops and horses to prepare for the raid! ”

Veil's mouth moved, hesitated for a moment or gritted his teeth and saluted: "King, you have also seen the situation of our army, it has never marched for such a long time, and it is a night march in the rain, many people are sick and have lost their combat strength, in this case, if you forcibly attack, Xiao Khan is worried that he will not be able to succeed in one fell swoop, Xiao Khan is worried that he will not be able to succeed in one fell swoop, Xiao Khan is worried about losing some men and horses, and Xiao Khan is worried about delaying the king's big event!" ”

Zhao Ziliang's face was a little ugly, "Then you mean you don't want to take this task?" Do you want this king to cut off your head? ”

Veiler hurriedly said: "No, no, Xiao Khan means can you ask the king's soldiers and horses to assist in a surprise attack together?" Of course, if he wins, the captured booty Xiao Khan will not dare to enjoy it exclusively, and he is willing to give half of it to the king! ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled when he heard this: "You have a good calculation!" Well, the king agreed! Where are Ma Luan, the commander of the escort army, and Duan Xiushi, the deputy commander? ”

When Ma Lan and Duan Xiushi heard this, they immediately stepped forward and bowed with their fists and said, "The end will be!" ”

"Order the two of you to lead the five thousand elite cavalry of the escort army to assist the Kimak army, and attack the camp of the Chathorn Yibu on the left and right!"

"Command!"

As the leader of the Zou headquarters of Pecheneg, although there are Oghuz and Huathornzimo between the Zou headquarters and the Western Qin, he does not know a lot about Zhao Ziliang and the Western Qin, and he has only heard that Zhao Ziliang, the king of the Western Qin, has led the army for more than 20 years, experienced hundreds of battles of all sizes, and has never been defeated! Since these days, he has always looked at Zhao Ziliang's side, and Zhao Ziliang's character traits of exhaustive strategy, bold and resolute but not losing prudence, never being ideologically bound when commanding, acting vigorously and resolutely, being fair and severe, rewarding and punishing clearly, sympathetic to the soldiers, and fully trusting his subordinates have left a very deep impression on him.

Ba Dasi sighed in his heart: "This Zhao Ziliang has not tasted defeat in the war, and it is really not unreasonable!" ”

The two armies quietly approached the camp of the Thorn Tribe, one on the left and one on the right, and the sound of the rain falling on the ground drowned out the sound of the march of the army, and the two armies reached two miles near the camp, and the people of the Thorn Spur were still asleep, and no one noticed that the danger was approaching, until the deafening sound of horses' hooves woke them.

As a nomadic tribe, the people of the Chaspur tribe lived on horseback all the year round, and even when they were asleep, they could distinguish the difference between thunder and the sound of horses' hooves, and the whole camp suddenly became noisy, and countless people from the Chaspur tribe ran out of the tent with weapons, saddles, and leather robes in disheveled clothes to look for their war horses.

The distance of two miles is too short and too short, more than a minute, the people of Cha Assassin Yi are still looking for their war horses, some are saddle the war horses, at this time the cavalry of the Western Qin Guard Army and the cavalry of the Kimak people rushed into the camp, two torrents are like two sharp knives inserted into the heart of the enemy, the already chaotic Cha Thorn Yi people have no power to resist, the people who are scurrying around in the camp have been cut to the ground, the two cavalry keep running and killing people in the camp, many camps are overturned on the ground, The Chathorn people who had not had time to escape inside were wrapped in the ground in the tent, and the war horses rushed over, trampled and countless people died.

The sound of howls, screams of despair, and the sound of knives slashing like bones were mixed together, and the blood was left on the ground and washed away by the rain, and the ground in the camp soon turned red, and the horses in the stables of the Chathorn were scattered everywhere, and many corpses soon lay on the ground.

Hai Tong, the leader of the Cha Thorn Yi tribe, and a dozen naked women had just run out of the camp in a panic when they were bumped into by the Western Qin cavalry led by Ma Lan and Duan Xiushi, and the cavalry rushed past without hindrance, leaving only a dozen corpses that were cut down in pieces, and blood stained the ground red.
