Chapter 37 The Battle of Jinshan

Hot winds swept across the grasslands at the northern foot of Jinshan.

Under the scorching sun, groups of knights in armor were ready to go. This mighty army was the 200,000-strong army led by the Great Khan of Western Turki, Anbalturi, whose purpose was to avenge his defeat at the Moon Sea by Abicheril.

As the Great Khan of Tukhi, Anbalturi can be said to be unjustifiable, he betrayed the instructions of his eldest brother Imidi, killed his own nephew and usurped the position of the Great Khan of Tukhi. Although this kind of seizure of power was commonplace in the Turks, the Turks valued strength, and if they were the Great Khan and could not lead their men to victory, then they would be replaced by someone else. After the Battle of the Sea of the Moon, Anbalturi's popularity was greatly weakened, and he lost control of the entire Eastern Turkiche as a result. After that, he worked hard to recover the lost points, and after several successive victories in raiding the countries of the Western Regions, he finally saved face and stabilized the interior.

However, if he could not defeat Abiciel, he would always be burdened with a stain on his life, and there would be no way to reunite the Tukti tribes. For this battle, Anbalturi made great efforts, and he actively liaised with the heads of various ministries to enlist their assistance, and only then did he organize a crusade of 200,000 troops this year. According to Anbalturi's calculations, Abicil has not yet fully controlled the entire East Turkistan, so he can only mobilize 100,000 cavalry at most, and he has already had an advantage in numbers in this battle, not to mention that the 200,000 cavalry in his hands are all elite members of various departments, and they are also superior to their opponents in terms of quality.

The only thing Anbalturi is worried about now is Abicheril's own fighting ability. Being able to obtain the title of Red Wolf among the Turks is enough to prove what kind of brave man he is, in the Battle of the Moon Sea. Anbalturi had seen Abicilir gallop on the battlefield, and his intimidating sense of oppression and outstanding martial arts might be difficult to find in the Tukhe army. Anbalturi is a well-known warrior in his own right. But he knew in his heart that he was no match for Abiciel. Abicheril's ability to enter and exit the midst of thousands of armies as if he were in a no-man's land was enough to make the three armies angry. For this reason, Anbalturi specially recruited a warrior named Hassan from the Barbarian tribe of the Western Sea to deal with Abicheril, this Hassan can be called a warrior who is rare in a century. After seeing his strength, Anbalturi bought him from the leader of the Barbarian tribe at great expense, and as long as he could defeat Abichilir, then he would win the battle.

The battle between the two armies began on 22 July. After the two sides were in formation, Anbalturi took a closer look, and as he expected, Abichlil's troops were only about 80,000. Judging from the deployment of the two armies, Abicheril relied on the favorable terrain and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack. Anbalturi ordered the forward forwards to advance, followed by the left and right wings. According to his judgment. Abicielil was not going to be so simple as being passively defensive, he must have arranged an ambush in the nearby woodland. He is now engaged with the forward, responsible for the central breakthrough, the left and right flanks cover, deliberately exposed a gap in front of the Chinese army, as the battle progresses, this crack gradually expands, and after Abicheril's ambush is likely to launch a surprise attack on his own Chinese army, at this time he can use the advantage of the number of troops to surround them and annihilate them in one fell swoop, and then turn back to launch a final blow to Abicheril's main formation.

The course of the fighting is just as Anbal is predicted. Due to the numerical superiority, Abicheril's main formation began to retreat, and the forward and left and right flanks of Anbalturi continued to advance as if they had been sucked over, and the distance between them and the Chinese army was widened wider and wider. Anbalturi was secretly proud in his heart. It seems that Abicheril's ambush is about to move.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Look! It's Abicil himself! Abicilir is out in person! ”

Anbalturi saw that it was true, and Abicheril personally led about 5,000 elite soldiers all the way to launch a counter-assault on the right flank of Anbalturi. The momentum was so fierce that the soldiers on the right flank scattered like an avalanche. Seeing that Abicheril was in a state of collapse, the right-wing army was thrown into chaos. Anbalturi said to Hassan, the warrior standing beside him, "Hassan, go and get back the head of Abicheril!" ”

Hassan bowed respectfully to him. Then he urged the war horse under his crotch to gallop towards the battlefield.

It didn't take long for Hassan to encounter Abichilir, and as soon as the two met, they knew that the other was a fierce rival, and they fought together without saying a word.

As Abiciel was caught in the middle of a struggle, Abiciel's cavalry attack momentum slowed down. As a result, the tide of battle once again turned against the Abicheril army.

At this time, the battle between the two had reached a fever pitch, and the war hammer in Hassan's hand turned into a whirlwind, and the surrounding allies were all retreating, but they could only help the iron lance in Abicheril's hand. The more Anbalturi looked at it, the more frightened he became, it seemed that even a warrior as powerful as Hassan was no match for Abicheril, although it seemed that the two were evenly matched, but Anbalthuri could see that Abicheril still had room for it. Now he can't hesitate, he must completely surround Hassan while he can still hold Abicheril back, even if he fills it with people, he must take down this fierce opponent in one fell swoop.

Just as he was about to give the order for the whole army to assault, a force rushed out of the woods, led by the famous warrior Badr of East Turkiche. He led 10,000 cavalry straight into the Chinese army in Anbalturi.

At this time, Anbalturi could only temporarily carry out the original plan, first eliminate Badr's assault team, and due to the large number, soon surrounded Badr's cavalry. Anbalturi sighed secretly, after all, defeating the enemy army first is the first priority, and killing Abicheril can only be done later.

However, at this moment, the soldiers around him suddenly let out a frightened shout: "Mutiny! Mutiny! ”

Anbalturi's eyes were straight. Mutiny! How is this possible? But the truth is so cruel, the 30,000 troops of the Nailan Division, which was originally placed in the rear as a reserve, actually turned back and stormed their own Chinese army!

The Nailan tribe will rebel! I married my beloved little daughter to their chief! For the sake of this in-laws, he specially arranged him in the rear army, in order to preserve his strength, and when he finally defeated, he could also get a large share of the spoils, he could be said to think about them everywhere, they actually betrayed themselves ungratefully!

At present, the main force of the Chinese army in Anbalturi is fighting with Badr's cavalry, and there is no such force to deal with the sneak attack of the Nailan army. Anbalturi immediately decided to move forward, and only by moving forward could he get close to his own army and have a chance to stop the rebel attack.

However, Anbalturi's doom was not yet over, and that was that Abichlir had more than one ambush. When his Chinese army fell into disarray, two 10,000-strong troops were once again slaughtered from the woods, attacking the flanks and rear of the forward troops and the Chinese troops respectively. At this time, the Chinese army in Anbalturi became a situation of being flanked on three sides by the rebels and two ambushes, and the forward troops were also flanked from the front and rear.

Anbalturi miscalculated Abicheril's diplomatic ability, the number of troops he had at his disposal was actually more than 150,000, and the actual number of troops participating in the war was about 120,000, and Abicialir also successfully rebelled against the Nailan tribe, so the actual force ratio of the two sides was 170,000 to 150,000.

At this time, the warrior Hassan finally couldn't resist Abiciel's attack and was stabbed to death by Abiciel. The chaos on the right flank suddenly resumed, and at this moment, Anbalturi's army began to spiral out of control.

At dusk, Anbalturi escaped from three sides and retreated from the battlefield. More than 40,000 of the 200,000 troops of the Western Turks were killed in this battle, and as many as 67,000 surrendered, except for the 30,000 on the left flank, all the rest were scattered, and the more significant loss was that as many as 26 senior generals were killed in the battle. The 120,000-strong army of East Turksis only lost more than 20,000 people, except for the heavy casualties on the right flank, there were no major casualties among the rest of the divisions, and no major generals were killed in battle. The East Turks won a complete victory.

The darkness slowly enveloped the entire land, and the soldiers of the East Turks sporadically collected the spoils among the corpses scattered on the ground. Looking at this scene, Abicheril couldn't help but sigh: in his mind, it was important to save the survivors at this moment. It's a pity that this is not the case with the custom of Tuqi, and if someone is not completely dead, they will be immediately remedied. If one day, the Turks can change this bad habit, then the Turks may become extremely powerful.

Badr on the side wiped the sweat and blood on his body, and said with a smile: "Great Khan, this battle is really happy, this guy in Anbalturi is probably crying now." He can't recover after three or four years, right? ”

Abichilir retracted his thoughts and smiled at Badr, "More than that. As long as the Nalaner Department is allowed to deal with him, then he will not be able to pose a threat to us in another ten years. With this time, it's time for us to let that kid Liu Yan learn a good lesson about the scimitar of our Tuqi people! ”

"Great! There are so many good things in the Silk Country, and we're going to make a fortune, Great Khan. Badr let out a heroic laugh, and that laughter spread far and far in the night. (To be continued......)
