Chapter 55 VII The Fugitives

The reason why Abicilir hurriedly recalled Badr was not because he intended to let Anbalturi live, but because he needed Anbalturi's troops more. Only by taking this force into its hands can we truly cut off the root causes of Anbalturi's resurgence again.

As a result, he adopted a policy of softness towards the armies of his subordinate tribes and vassals. In this decisive battle, Anbalturi took the lead in retreating from the battlefield, so that the army that was already disheartened completely lost its backbone, and these troops, mainly infantry, faced the onslaught of cavalry and lost the support of defense facilities, which was simply a way to enter the ground, so most of them chose to lay down their arms and surrender. Abicilir pacified them and invited their leaders to accompany him to witness the destruction of the main cavalry of Anbalturi, intending to show the strength of his army to the leaders in order to ensure that they would not act rashly in the future.

Because of this, Abicilir recalled Badr's forces in order to ensure victory, and the two armies launched a fierce attack on the retreating Western Turkic cavalry from the southeast.

In this battle, Abicheril deliberately showed off and personally rushed to the forefront. In the face of the 80,000 cavalry of the Western Turks, Abicilir was like no one and personally killed seventeen generals with more than 1,000 commanders, including the main general of the Western Turki army and five commanders under his command. His bravery terrified the enemy, and in the end, more than 50,000 Western Turki cavalry laid down their arms and declared their submission to the most courageous warrior on the continent.

Amid the stunned expressions of the many chiefs and the unjust cries of Badr, who had killed only one captain, Abicheril returned victorious. His whole body was stained with enemy blood except for the golden helmet, and even the neighing horse was more than half dyed red. But his image is like the incarnation of the god of war in the eyes of the Tuchi soldiers.

In the thunderous cheers of the Tuchi soldiers. Many of the chiefs fell to their knees in submission to Abicheril - they had never seen such a feared warrior in their lives, and their soldiers would have trembled before the Great Khan. You can't fight against it at all.

In the Battle of Xuanchi, Abicheril collected more than 50,000 Western Turkic cavalry. More than 20,000 people were completely destroyed, and only a few thousand escaped by chance. Together with the armies of other tribes, more than 170,000 of the 227,500 men in Anbalturi became his men, which can be described as a complete victory. On the other hand, Abicheril's troops did not suffer many casualties, and only 15,000 people of Ye Erxian, the Zuodu Protector, were almost completely wiped out. But it was precisely because Ye'er first successfully dragged down the elite cavalry team of Anbalturi that he was able to win the war so smoothly. Abicheril announced that Ye Erxian was the first to make the first contribution in this battle, and was named the king of Zuoxian, and ruled the south of Zhongjin Mountain, the hometown of Western Tuqi. All the territories east of Yaozhishui and west of the desert, all the troops of the subjects and tribes that were incorporated were under his command, and another 20,000 elite cavalry were allocated to pacify the new territories and destroy the remnants of Anbaltouri. The general Kantar was promoted to the position of Zuo Dadu, ruling the region east of the desert and cutting off the trade route between the Silk Country and the West.

Badr was named the Right Virtuous King, and assisted himself in reorganizing his army and returning to Dragon City on the same day. Abicheril always had a concern in his mind, that is, the Silk Country had already learned of his expedition. He was worried that the Silk Nation would risk a sneak attack on the empty rear, which is why he was in such a hurry to withdraw his troops and return. In his eyes, Anbalturi, who had lost the rear and the army, was just a lost dog, and it was no longer worth working for such a person. What a waste of time.

At about the same time, Anbalturi's escape was coming to an end. After a long journey, Anbalturi finally returned to the vicinity of the royal court. Along the way, he struggled to gather some remnants of his army, and finally his army reached nearly 10,000 men. He intended to use these armies to defeat Kantar's forces. Re-consolidation of the rear.

Hearing that Kantar's main force was also approaching him, Anbalturi ordered him to camp and rest. The long rush exhausted the troops. If you don't rest in time, you won't be able to build up your strength at all, and if you can't win here, then you won't have anything left.

In the middle of the night, the sleeping Anbalturi was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves - years of experience had taught him that it was a large number of cavalry! Quickly getting up, he immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert, but it was still a step too late. By the time the shouts of killing arose, Anbalturi had just finished dressing, and most of the Tukchi soldiers were not as lucky as he was.

A large number of cavalry poured into the camp, some of them began to set fire to the chaos, and the other half went straight to his tent!

"Paz people! It's the Paz people! The screams of the soldiers struck Anbalturi like a thunderbolt. The opponent is not Kantar but the Paz people, then it can only be the troops of Basbarne! I didn't expect him to advance so quickly, could it be that all areas of the Western Front were lost?

Anbalturi didn't have time to think about it, and immediately turned on his horse and brandished the long knife in his hand to encourage the soldiers to fight back.

"Enemy Chief! It will be Basbahn who will take your head off! ”

With the cessation of the standard Turci phrase, a knight rushed in front of Anbalturi. Anbalturi knew from the way he slashed and slashed his own guards that this was a formidable opponent, and the silky and cold-blooded sword technique was simply chilling, no wonder his brother Imidi would die at the hands of this man.

At this time, Anbalturi had no other way but to face it head-on, knowing that he was not an opponent, he had to fight his way out. So Anbalturi yelled and rushed forward with his sword.

When the two horses were staggered, the other party attacked five knives at the same time, and it was impossible to see which move was true and which move was false in the shadow of the knife.

When Anbalturi touched it with his hand, he realized that more than half of his right ear had been cut off! In the case of holding the portal by himself, the opponent's ear was cut off with just one move! Where does Anbalturi dare to fight again? When he clamped the horse's belly, he rushed straight forward. By the time Basbarn pulled back the horse's head, Anbalturi had escaped five or six distances. The guards of Anbalturi immediately surrounded and stopped Baibasbarn, and these loyal guards gave Anbalturi precious time to escape with their lives.

Finally escaping the pursuit of the Paz army, Anbalturi did not dare to stay and ran until the day was completely dawn before slowing down. At this time, there were less than twenty people left beside him. Anbalturi couldn't help but let out a long sigh - there was nothing left of him at the moment, the only 10,000 people who had been completely defeated by such a sneak attack, it would be too difficult to gather again, not to mention that the army of Paz and Kantar would not give him this chance.

Where do you go now? The royal court can't go back, the north is all Abiciel's pursuers, and most of the west has been captured by Paz, so you can only go east. Maybe you can cross the desert and go to the land of silk.

Anbalturi did not dare to take the great road, nor to defect to the small nations and tribes along the way, and now that they met him, they were afraid that they would be anxious to cut off their heads and hand them over to Abichilir for credit. The guards kept falling along the way, and the water and food were getting scarce. Anbalturi knew that with these reserves he would not be able to cross the desert, so he had to turn south and find a chance of life in the Kunlun Mountains.

Two days later, he came across an oasis and after seven days of walking for a simple supply of water, the vast Kunlun Mountains stretched out in front of his eyes. With only three guards and a horse left, Anbalturi didn't know how long he would be able to hold out, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he had to keep going.

As they passed through a valley, one of the guards stumbled and fell down the mountain, and the screams stirred the nerves of the living. At this moment, Anbalturi suddenly noticed about fifty knights in front of him galloping towards him.

Just when he thought that this was Abicheril's pursuer, the other party preemptively spoke: "It's the Turki Great Khan Anbalturi who came ahead?" Below is the captain of the attendant of the Tibetan prince Gesang, Rodsa, who was ordered by His Royal Highness the prince to welcome the Great Khan to Tibet as a guest. ”

Anbalturi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: Tubo, or maybe go to Tubo for the time being, at least it is better than dying here. (To be continued......)
