Section 967 Avar Khanate
When Tang Tingxuan returned to Pliska with a large amount of wealth, he only caught up with the rear army of the Tang army.
There must be a son and a mother, it's not that a family doesn't enter the family, Tang Tian has already led the Chinese army to set off, even if she received the report, she didn't even look at this batch of wealth!
"It's not like I haven't seen it!" Someone suggested that Tang Tian go to inspect it, Tang Tian said disdainfully, she just listened to the report of her son and the logistics department, and ordered to take care of this batch of wealth, as for her, lead the army to attack quickly!
Swift horses and arrows, assault and onslaught!
Encountering the enemy's standard attack mode, Tang cavalry roared all over the mountains, shining equipment lit up the sky, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering, until the enemy was shocked into the sky.
The Tang soldiers were strong horses, the queue was neat, the helmets were bright, the flags were covered, each of them had a snow-bright and sharp saber, the fierce horses were jubilant, and they were unstoppable and invincible, and the formation was immediately chaotic.
There is a surprise attack after dawn, straight to the front of the enemy camp, people shout horses neighing, the Tang generals lead the army to arrive, tens of thousands of horses will surround the enemy camp to the water, swords, guns and halberds, dense like a forest, thousands of archers are ready to shoot, one by one the arrows flash with the cold light of the forest, which is shocking.
"Surrender or not?"
"No surrender!"
"Shoot!"
Tens of thousands of arrows were fired, round after round, like a torrential rain, blowing into the enemy camp!
Tang Tingxuan went into battle, he matured rapidly, I saw him kill the enemy with one arrow, and he didn't hesitate when he encountered the enemy, constantly drawing arrows, winding, opening the bow, and shooting, ten arrows in a row, shooting seven people, injuring three people, and none of the arrows missed the target!
The enemy soldiers who came over fell to the ground in just ten breaths. The horses galloped around, and the scene was impressive.
Frightened, the enemy soldiers scolded angrily, but they didn't dare to come again!
Tang Tingxuan chased and killed along the road, that bow really shot whoever had it, and killed corpses all over the road along the road!
His small universe play, even Shi Wanchao recognized it!
Shi Wanchao's horse speed is not fast enough (he is too heavy), and it is a short soldier, how can he be able to get Tang Tingxuan's horse to attack quickly!
The spring breeze is proud, and more than 10,000 troops are killed in one day!
Tang cavalry 40,000 men marched in unison, attacking along the way, killing blood and plundering a large number of people, supplies and livestock!
In the war, a group of generals led by Tang Tingxuan grew up rapidly, with Tang Tingxuan, Wei Tiancheng, Liu Yufu, Li Zeqing, etc. as the four little kings, all of whom had relatively great ability, and killing people was not a problem.
Attacked by them, and they knocked out the royal court, the Bolgar Khanate was in chaos, the key is that someone released rumors, these Tang people are not interested in the land of the Bolgar Khanate, just passing by, their goal is the Avar Khanate.
It can be seen from the direction of their march to evacuate Pliska immediately after killing the royal court, that the Tang people do not care about long-term peace and stability, but a hammer deal.
That's different!
The Avar Khanate and the Bolgars were old enemies, and the Tang people went to trouble them, and they really couldn't ask for it.
For many reasons, the local forces of the Bolgar Khanate had their own evil intentions, and their enthusiasm for fighting with the Tang people dropped greatly, and they focused their attention on the surrounding forces.
They avoided fighting with the Tang army, and for the Tang army they were all sent out of the country as a gift (if they knew in advance).
Without a decent opponent, the Don army quickly headed for the Avar Khanate.
……
What the hell is the Avar Khanate?
In the middle of the sixth century, an Asian nomadic tribe called the Avars entered Europe, and European countries were conquered or sacked by the Avars. At its height, Avar rule stretched from the Volga to Austria!
Some scholars list the "most dangerous moments" in history when "Western civilization was facing its demise", including the joint attack of the Avars and Persians on the Byzantine Empire in 626, when the Avars nearly captured Constantinople. The Avars, like the Huns, chose Hungary as the center of the state.
They came from the East, just like the Bolgars!
At the beginning of the fourth century A.D., a nation called "Rouran" was separated from the Tuoba Xianbei ethnic group in northern China. Rouran originally lived in the Hetao of Shaanxi Province and the Yinshan Mountains of Inner Mongolia – the birthplace of the Xiongnu before migrating to the Mongolian Plateau. In 402, Rouran unified the entire Mobei Plateau through conquest.
In 552 AD, Rouran was destroyed by the uprising of the Turkic tribes under him. In the tragedy of the final ethnic killing, a tribe of Rouran broke free and migrated westward. Because Rouran was a sudden demise of the country, unlike the gradual decline of the Xiongnu, the tribe still had a large number of horses, and they migrated much faster than the Xiongnu's Lele chariot, leaving in 552 and entering Eastern Europe in 568. There, Rouran became the "Avars" who panicked Europeans.
This is the result of later historians' research, and there are different legends, but when the Tang army fought with them, many evidences were found: for example, their tactics, equipment, living habits, etc., were similar to the northland peoples in the east, let's count them as a "Rouran" people.
……
The main target of Tang Tian's attack is the Avar Khanate!
She will stay after conquering the Avar Khanate and occupy their territory as her own base.
Why do you fancy this site?
She listened to Wei Xi, this is a treasure land!
The Avar Khanate is located in the Dianyali steppe, with this natural pasture and a rear base, the Huns used it as a base to fight Rome.
In this way, you can raise horses, give full play to the role of war horses, and give full play to your strengths, and you can kill happily!
Look, from north to east there are the Moravians, the Slavs of the Vach Basin, Bohemia, Bavaria, the Lombards, the Slavs of Croatia/Serbia, the Bolgar Khanate, the Antes, etc., and further west is the Frankish kingdom, which can be called the "trophy......
There are many countries and nationalities, wash your neck and wait for the saber to be cut, and you will be hi when you think about it!
Tang Tian is definitely a war maniac, she will not die with the Byzantines under the city of Constantinople, and the honor of capturing the thousand-year-old imperial capital is not comparable to using the Dianyali steppe, killing people everywhere and setting fire to kill people and leave a name for eternity!
……
Tang Tian ransacked Pliska, and then burned and looted all the way, and the team continued to expand, all the way to the Avar Khanate.
Now she is strong, in addition to the old army of 50,000, 20,000 more elite soldiers have joined her command (Lahul and Bolgars), and her morale is unusually strong, and she is eager to fight.
The Avar Khanate is in trouble!
The current Avar Khanate has regained its former power, and in military parlance it is described as "a weakening offensive posture"!
They had been majestic, and launched a large-scale attack on Constantinople in 626 AD, but their strength was lost under the fortified city, and finally failed, and the consequences were serious, and the original conquered peoples broke away one after another, and the Avar Khanate and the Bolgars and the Principality of Samo fought one after another, and the battle was many dead, and the strength was even weaker, mainly confined to the area between the Tissa and Danube rivers (Hungary), and there were empty Hungarian steppes, which could only protect themselves.
It was precisely because they were in the land of a hundred battles that they were always ready to deal with foreign enemies, but as soon as the Tang army entered, their alarm was raised, and they reported wildly to the capital and immediately prepared for war.
