Chapter 735: Luring the Enemy
Ashina was very angry, this anger made him almost smash the things in the tent, and dozens of Turkic generals were scolded and scolded by him all morning, and the entire Turkic camp felt the anger of Ashina Shot, so they were silent and did not dare to make the slightest outrageous move.
Originally, Ashina was still ambitious and full of confidence, wanting to take North Yanzhou in one fell swoop, lead the army south, and behead Happy Xiao'er under the horse, but a news in the morning made his good mood disappear suddenly.
Ashina took control of the Eastern Turks, and further east of it was originally Kumoxi's territory, but a few months ago, the Khitan suddenly attacked and annexed Kumoxi in a very short period of time. At that time, the Turks conquered the Northern Qi in the south, and the Khitan Dahe Chucai presented a large amount of property to show his submission, and Ashina did not pursue the trouble of the Khitan.
Unexpectedly, Dahe Chucai's surrender was fake, just to paralyze Ashina Shot, the purpose was to gain more opportunities, when Ashina Shotu led the army south, and was about to launch an offensive to Northern Yanzhou, Dahe Chucai suddenly led his troops westward and annexed eleven large and small tribes under Ashina Settu's rule with a thunderous momentum.
When the news came, Ashina was shocked, and felt boundless humiliation and anger because he was deceived by Dahe Chucai.
"Little Khitan, how dare you go against Ben Khan? Didn't he know that as long as Ben Khan waved his troops north, his Khitan clan would be wiped out? ”
Ashina's eyes narrowed slightly, and his cold gaze revealed a little doubt. Khitan Mo wants to say that compared with the Turks, he is far inferior to Ashina, but where did the Khitan have the courage to dare to rebel?
Ashina didn't believe that the Khitan would be so reckless and do such a thing that was close to death, the only possibility was that he had the support of some people behind him.
"The Khitan raid, Ben Khan must withdraw his troops to the north, and the matter of attacking Northern Yanzhou can only be delayed, and the one who does not want Ben Khan to take Northern Yanzhou is the Qi State. It is rumored that Happy has a good relationship with Dahe Chucai, and it is reasonable for the Khitan to send troops, but doesn't the Khitan understand that now the Qi State is fighting on multiple fronts, and it is difficult to protect itself, if Ben Khan is determined to annex the Khitan, how can the Qi State save them? This can only solve the temporary crisis, and it is of little significance! ”
Shaking his head, Ashina took pictures to deny his guess, but he was even more confused in his heart. Da He Chu was able to annex Ku Moxi, his people obviously had some ability, he must not be a stupid person, how could he do such an unwise thing.
Suddenly, Ashina thought of a possibility, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and his whole body exuded an extremely strong evil aura.
"Could it be the Great Logon and the Anluo? In addition to the Qi people, they were also unwilling to get Northern Yanzhou, so they drove straight into the interior of the Qi State and captured Jinyang. If they take advantage of Ben Khan's return to exterminate the Khitan, they will take action, Ben Khan will definitely not be able to go south to attack Qi, and when they reach the slope of Jinyang City, the position of the Great Khan will fall into their hands! ”
The more I thought about Ashina's photograph, the more I felt that this was the most likely, after all, under the current situation, with the power of Ashina Daluo and Ashina Anluo, plus the Khitan clan, it was enough for him to be in a hurry and unable to go south.
Of course, Ashina did not completely abandon the suspicion of Qi Guo, but in his heart he still preferred that the Khitan had reached some kind of agreement with Da Luo and Anluo.
No matter what the facts are, Ashina can only abandon the Northern Yanzhou, which is close at hand, return to the Turks, and eliminate the Khitans who dare to provoke him. After all, without a base camp, even if he took Beiyan Prefecture, it would be in vain, not to mention how could a sergeant in the army still fight with the Qi State when his family was in danger.
"Commander, the Turks have suddenly withdrawn!"
In the handsome tent of the Northern Yanzhou military camp, a general stood in front of Xian Yu Shirong, and said with some hesitation.
"Oh?"
Xian Yu Shirong suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "Is this true? ”
"It's true! Commander, this Turk is menacing, why did they retreat without a battle now? ”
A gleam flashed in Xian Yu Shirong's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, reorganize the army, prepare to go out of the city to pursue, and drive the Turks out!" ”
The lieutenant general was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Commander, is this move a bit reckless?" If this is a trick by the Turks to lure us out of the city, if we leave the city and fall into an ambush by the Turks, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous? ”
"I have my own plan, you don't have to say more!" Xian Yu Shirong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was undoubtedly authentic.
The general's expression was so grim that he didn't dare to say anything more, so he respectfully agreed and strode out. He didn't know why the Turks had withdrawn, but Xian Yu Shirong did. The shadow thorn had already received a secret order, telling him about the Khitan raid on the Eastern Turks, as well as a happy order, how could he let go of such a good opportunity, not asking for Ashina to stay in the Qi country, but also to make him uneasy and in a hurry.
"Khan, the Qi army is coming!"
"What?" Ashina raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "How many people?" ”
"About 20,000 people!"
"Only 20,000 people dare to chase after me, I really don't know whether to live or die!" A flash of fierceness flashed in Ashina's eyes, and his heart was already angry, and he couldn't suppress it anymore at this time, "Since the Qi army dares to provoke Ben Khan, then Ben Khan will use their blood to sacrifice the flag!" Ordered Luo Dan to lead 50,000 iron cavalry to wipe out all the Qi troops who were chasing, and Ben Khan wanted to see the heads of 20,000 Qi troops hanging on the horses of my Turkic warriors! ”
"Yes!"
Soon, 50,000 Turkic cavalry, led by a fierce Turkic general, broke away from the majority and headed towards the Qi army chasing after him like the wind.
Although the Turks were defeated a few months ago, Ashina did not believe that the Qi soldiers could defeat the brave Turkic warriors in the field, and the reason why he sent 50,000 men was only to end the battle as soon as possible.
And Luo Dan and the 50,000 Turkic cavalry behind him also despised the Qi army from the bottom of their hearts, in their opinion, killing the Qi army was as simple as killing cattle and sheep, because they did not organize any formation, but just blindly rushed forward.
Soon, the Turkic army of 50,000 saw the Qi army in formation, with a row of shields at the front, like a wall of steel, shining with a cold luster in the sun.
It was clear that the Qi army had known of their arrival, but these warlike and bloodthirsty Turks did not hesitate in the slightest, roaring excitedly, brandishing their scimitars, and rushing towards the Qi army like hungry wolves without Luo Dan's orders.
In the face of the Turkic reunion, the Qi army did not have the slightest fear, especially Xian Yu Shirong, who was in the center of the battle array, had a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Mirror!"
With Xian Yu Shirong's order, hundreds of mirrors were suddenly raised in the Qi army's array. A huge beam of light suddenly shot forward, the heavens and the earth suddenly lit up, and the rushing Turkic cavalry couldn't help but close their eyes, and the momentum of the forward rush also slowed down, and the sharp energy on their bodies decreased a lot.
"Shoot the arrows!"
At this moment, Xian Yu Shirong's cold voice sounded.
"Whoosh!"
The cloud-like arrows were black, making the heavens and the earth dark, and the piercing screaming sound was even more terrifying. The Turks did not care about anything else, and pressed their bodies only on the back of their horses, charging with all their might.
Although the Turks were very experienced in dodging bows and arrows, under such a dense rain of arrows, they were caught off guard by the strong light, and in addition to the fact that these Qi troops were all elite soldiers, and the longbows in their hands were very sharp, so that in the charge, a large number of Turkic arrows fell off their horses, and were trampled by the compatriots behind them, and the flesh and blood blurred and melted into the earth.
The terrible screams resounded in the air, but this aroused the ferocity in the hearts of the Turks. They were like wild beasts, with horses' hooves rumbling, as if they wanted to crumble the earth and tear the sky apart.
"Boom!"
After two rounds of arrow rain, the Turks finally carried an unrivaled momentum after throwing down nearly 5,000 corpses, and boundless anger hit the shield array of the Qi army. With a violent roar, dozens of Qi soldiers were suddenly knocked out by this huge force, and even this shield array was shaky.
"Hey!"
The Qi army also knew that the loss of the shield array and letting the Turks kill them would definitely bring them devastating disasters, so they used all their strength to support the shield and finally stabilized the shield array that was almost collapsing.
At the same time, the pikemen, who had been eyeing them for a long time, suddenly poked their spears out of the gap in the shield array, and the sharp tips of their spears fiercely pierced into the bodies of the Turks and the horses under their crotches.
In the muffled sound of "poof", more than 100 Turkic cavalry fell from their horses before they could swing their scimitars in their hands, becoming an obstacle for their compatriots behind them.
The Turks did not retreat because of this, but attacked the shield array more fiercely, and gradually, the Qi army began to fall, and the shield array began to turbulent again, and it was possible to collapse at any time.
Xian Yu Shirong had a calm face and calmly gave orders, making the formation of the Qi army complete and stable, and dissolving the wave of momentum of the Turkic cavalry.
"Break it for me!"
Many soldiers were killed and wounded, but before they tore apart the shield array of the Qi army, Luo Dan was shocked and angry, and suddenly raised his arm, his knotted muscles trembled, and the steel knife in his hand slashed towards the shield array in front of him like Mount Tai.
"Dang!"
With a loud bang, the shield suddenly shattered, and the two Qi troops behind were also shocked by the huge force and spurted blood and retreated. Luo Dan took advantage of the situation and rushed in, and with a sharp swing of the scimitar in his hand, he not only swung away the four or five spears that stabbed him, but also slashed one of the Qi soldiers to the ground.
Break the surface with a point. The breakthrough here suddenly boosted the Turks' morale, and the wolf-like Turkic cavalry swarmed up, and in just an instant, nearly a hundred Qi troops fell under their scimitars, and the gap continued to grow.
"The Khan has an order, kill all these despicable Han dogs, kill!" Luo Dan raised his arms and shouted, waved his sword and killed in the depths of the Qi army's camp, he had already seen Xian Yu Shirong under the handsome banner, and he would not let go of this bold Qi general.
"Kill!"
However, just as the Turks were about to wipe out the 20,000 Qi army in one go, there was a sudden deafening shouting of killing and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves from both sides behind them.
Luo Dan was taken aback, only to find that this was a low-lying area, and a large number of cavalry of the Qi army had appeared outside his two wings, and it was obvious that the Qi army had deliberately lured him to come.
"The ambush has arrived, counterattack!"
"Kill!"
The Qi army was in high spirits and began to fight back with all its might. At this time, most of the sharpness of the Turkic charge was discharged, and some were surprised by the sudden appearance of the Qi army, and they were suddenly in a hurry to kill the Qi army, and the advantage of Fang Cai was gone.
