Chapter 136 II The Battle of the Tule River II
As Timon had predicted, Chelreel began to hesitate because of the slow movement of the Turks, and he began to suspect that Timon was playing tricks behind his back. In order to ensure that his son's path was not www.biquge.info, Che Erlie readjusted the posture of the march and concentrated the troops to act in unison, but in this way, his marching speed had to be slowed down.
In order to take advantage of this time, Cheerel sent an envoy to Toercha to surrender, but he did not expect Temon to go ahead of him, so he instructed Toercha early in the morning, telling him that as long as Cheerel dared to invade his territory, the Turks would definitely arrive in time, but before that, the Turks would delay the pace of the Iwabe in the maze of the old cloth and give Torcha more time to prepare for the war. After taking this reassuring pill, Nurse fought a protracted battle with the messenger of Chereel, neither surrendering nor resisting.
This move completely infuriated Chereel, and after finding out that Timon had no way to deal with it, he decided to defeat Torcha as quickly as possible and let the Tatars know that it was powerful.
It took him only four days to cover the rest of the journey, and when Iwabe's army appeared on the banks of the Tule River, Torre was startled, but he also knew that Cherret would not give him another chance, and he had nothing to do but fight to the death. The only thing he could hope for now was that Timmon's army would arrive in time.
The battle was extremely fierce at the beginning, because Cherrex had already decided to do everything in his power to defeat the Tatars in the shortest possible time, otherwise it would be much more troublesome for the arrival of Themon's army, and in order to save his life, Tori also showed a diligence that he had not been in the past few years, personally went into battle to supervise the battle, and led the Tatar warriors to resist fiercely. The battle between the two sides was fierce from the start, and the newly grown grass was dyed red by the flying blood mist.
Unlike the leader Nursery, the warriors of the Tatar tribe are definitely the elite troops in the steppe, and if it weren't for the many people killed in the wars with the Silk Country over the years, this battle would be even more tragic today. However, no matter how brave and good the Tatar warriors are, the difference in numbers between the two sides is still there. By noon, the Tatar troops were gradually unable to support them, the formation was becoming more and more scattered, and the broken front was beginning to be unable to reorganize.
At this moment, dust and smoke rose from the southwest - the Turkic army led by Timon arrived.
Everything was in Themon's calculations, and Chereel couldn't help but make the first move, and Themon, who got the news, also took only four days to cross nearly half the distance of Minister Bijiyan and rushed to the battlefield, and Cheelre's plan to use the time difference of two days to eliminate the Tatar Ministry was aborted.
Later generations conducted an in-depth study of this battle of Cerley, and the results showed that the real strength of Timon was not that he arrived at the battlefield within four days, but that he had a more powerful intelligence system than Cheerre, and accurately analyzed the timing of Cerley's move, and then resolutely began to march rapidly, otherwise he would not have arrived at the Tule River only half a day later than Cherre. But the downside of this was also obvious—the Turks were very tired from the long journey.
Knowing that Timon had arrived at the battlefield, Cherel was not alarmed, for the possibility was already in his plan, and he immediately sent 20,000 troops to stop it. By this time, he had won the battle against the Tatars, and if he could hold off Temon's forces for a moment, the tide of the battle would change.
Seeing that the army of the Deji Rock Department was coming forward, Timeng turned his head and said to Ye Erxian: "Lord Ye Erxian, the victory or defeat is here, please fight." ”
Ye Er nodded first and said, "Please rest assured, Marshal." ”
After that, Ye Er led five thousand elites to attack first. This was something he and Timeng had discussed early on, since the period of the rock department would inevitably send an army to intercept it, then the responsibility for breaking through the enemy army, or containing this enemy army, would be Ye Er's responsibility first, so that the main force of the period of time would be led by Timeng to launch an attack on the main formation of the period rock department.
As soon as Ye Erxian's troops left, Timeng immediately jumped his horse and ran to the front of the formation, shouting loudly: "Everyone! Today's battle is the first head-to-head confrontation between me and the Iwabu since the Great Khan succeeded to the throne! The outcome of this battle will be directly related to the entire battle situation in the future! I can't reward you more than any other commander, but I can give you honor! Whoever is able to take down the head of the Thorough Leader will be awarded the title of the First Warrior of Tuk! From today onwards, when you talk to your children and grandchildren, you can tell them that it was in this battle that I won the title of the No. 1 Warrior of Turge! ”
Encouraged by his words, the Tuchi soldiers howled loudly and waved their swords.
Timon drew his saber and pointed it to the sky, shouting, "Warriors of Tukhi! Follow me on the charge! Kill! ”
The 30,000 Turks immediately rushed towards the army of the period rock like 30,000 hungry wolves.
Chereel immediately sensed the danger - the 20,000 horses he sent out were quickly stuck by Ye Erxian's troops, and the main force of the Tukchi army bypassed them and killed them directly towards their own formation!
Worst. Che Erlie's heart tightened, now his main force is fighting against the Tatar department, if the 20,000 blocking troops are entangled by Ye Er first, then the army actually around him is only 15,000 people, and it is impossible to resist the onslaught of the 30,000 Tuqi army!
The main force must be brought back to work. Cheelres immediately gave this order, but it was this order that turned the tide of the campaign. The withdrawal of troops from the frontal battlefield was undoubtedly to tell the Tatar troops that their rear was in an emergency, and the Tatar army, which had seen the arrival of reinforcements, was greatly boosted, but now after seeing this scene again, it was extremely excited, and immediately began to launch a counteroffensive. On the other hand, the army of Iwabe fought hard for half a day, but had to throw away the fruits of victory that were about to be obtained, and its mood can be imagined. As a result, the result of the main force being transferred back was a situation of being flanked by two enemy forces in front and back, how sharp was Temon's vision, and how could the chaos of the period rock be able to escape his eyes? According to the changes in the battlefield situation, Themon immediately took measures to change the main direction of the assault, so that the army of the period rock department was passive no matter how it changed its formation. Before the order could reach the troops, the order was broken by the attack of Themon. The two sides fought until the sun was in the west, and the army of the period rock could not support it.
The first to disintegrate was the 20,000 people sent to intercept the Turkic army, these 20,000 people were out of the direct command of Che Erlie, and they were passive everywhere under Ye Erxian's attack, obviously having a strength advantage but always being at a disadvantage, which was a great psychological blow to the soldiers, plus seeing that their own formation was beaten by the Turkic army, they had no time to care about anything else, and the despair of the war accumulated little by little, and finally the frustration in the hearts of these soldiers overcame the desire to win, and they began to break up and try to get out of the battle.
Ye Er couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this situation first, he did not try to annihilate this army that was much larger than him, but devoted himself to dispersing the connection between them, so that the situation of the rout could be expanded, so that the entire battlefield could be seen.
