It was the cavalry of the Pro-Guard Army that was sent by Zhao Xun to hunt down Xue Jian Khan and his defeated army. Although only one cavalry was sent to take charge of this mission, although they dealt with as many as 30,000 enemy troops, several times their own. However, whether it was Han Meng, the leading general, or the cavalry general, there was not the slightest fear.

Although Han Meng is rough, after all, he has been by Zhao Xun's side for several years. Under the influence of Zhao Xun, there is also a certain foundation for leading the army. Although he can't become the commander of an army, he has no problem leading an army. Besides, the target of this attack is nothing more than a group of defeated generals.

Therefore, Han Meng did not engage the Turkic army at the beginning. Instead, it was not until the Turkic army ran wildly for nearly ten hours, almost a day later, that the Turkic army was exhausted and thought that it had escaped, and then began to attack the Turkic army.

Therefore, Han Meng was on the flank of the Turkic army from the beginning, rather than directly following the rear of the Turkic army. When the Turkic army was ready to rest and recuperate in this Qingqi Lake, and the whole army suddenly relaxed from the tension, they suddenly came out.

By the time Xue Jian Khan had just relaxed his tension and was ready to rest at Qinghu Lake, the army had assembled. Han Meng and the cavalry of King Zhao's personal guards had already pressed over with a monstrous momentum.

Although it is a light cavalry, the armor on its body and the weapons of the soldiers are all the most sophisticated. You must know that in the pro-guard army, except for the cavalry, all foot soldiers have a war horse. And the cavalry, there are two to three interchangeable war horses. The light cavalry, on the other hand, is a one-man two-horse configuration. Therefore, the cavalry of the Zhao army followed the Turkic army, running wildly for nearly 200 miles in the dark night, but the war horse under the crotch was still full of spirit.

The Turkic army was different, they were attacked by the Zhao army at night, and they fled for their lives. Therefore, it is already commendable to have a war horse per capita. Even, among the 30,000 Turkic soldiers, some did not even have weapons. As for the Daxu Military Banner and the like, it has already been thrown out of the clouds. It can be said that the current Turkic army is completely a lost dog.

Looking at the momentum of the other horse's army, the faces of the generals such as Xue Jian Khan and Beduyan gradually became difficult to see. They found that there were not many men and horses in this cavalry of the Zhao army, but the other party ran after them for more than 100 miles at night, and they were not as tired as their own soldiers. Not only that, but the morale is high.

Seriously, at this moment, Xue Jian Khan had no intention of continuing the decisive battle with Zhao Jun at all. It's not that he's afraid of the other party, but he doesn't want his only remaining subordinates to be wiped out. Previously, Beduyan said that he still had more than 200,000 troops. However, Beduyan's words also reminded him that the current commander of the more than 200,000 troops is Mo Huba. Although Mo Hubao is his cronies, although Mo Hubao has never had a different heart.

However, because of his behavior in the various tribes of the steppe, the various tribes are extremely dissatisfied with him. If the news of this defeat spreads, some people will encourage their brothers and their own sons. So, whether he can maintain this khan is still two words. The struggle for power on the grassland is no worse than that of the Han people, and even, when they act, there is no moral evasion at all.

Therefore, Xue Jian Khan was anxious to withdraw in the shortest possible time to stabilize his position and the rear. As for fighting with the Zhao army and going south to Zhao, that will have to be talked about later. Obviously, the other party will not let themselves go like this. He had the heart to leave, but he couldn't run away. Otherwise, the 30,000 army in his hands will collapse immediately. If there is no army to protect him, whether his khan can escape from the hands of the cavalry of the Zhao army is still two words.

Xue Jian Khan suddenly found that now, Zhao Jun was not his worst enemy. His worst enemy is his own interior, the leader of the various tribes on the steppe. The Turkic steppe, thousands of miles away, tribes scattered all over the place. He is not as capable as the Han Chinese, who can control all the tribes, especially now that he has lost his troops and returned defeated, and the structure is very worrying. At this moment, Xue Jian Khan really regretted a little, regretted fighting with the Zhao army, and regretted that he had not been able to evacuate the Blue Capital City as soon as possible.

"Great Khan, the situation is critical now, and the Zhao army has come straight to us. The only way to do this now is to use all the forces to defeat the opponent's forces first, and then withdraw immediately. This is already the original territory of my cǎo, and when the other party is defeated, the Zhao army will definitely not send a team of men and horses to pursue it. Seeing that Xue Jiankhan's face was constantly changing, Beduyan said in a deep voice.

"The subordinates are worried that this cavalry of the Zhao army is entangled here, causing the Zhao army to chase after them. If that's the case, we're really not going to be good here......" said Beduyan's face became more and more gloomy.

Xue Jian Khan pondered for a moment, and after thinking about the gains and losses, he nodded and said: "What you said is very true, it is imperative to solve these Zhao cavalry first!" Order, the whole army rushes and kills! ”

Qinghu Lake was the original camp of the Turkic army, and the surrounding area is wide, and there is an abundant water source here. Therefore, it is a very good place to camp and fight.

Xue Jian Khan gave an order, and the 30,000 army fought desperately. At this moment, the 30,000 Turkic soldiers also knew that if they could not defeat the cavalry of the Zhao army in front of them, then they would have no way out. Only by defeating these Zhao cavalry can they have a chance to live.

Five thousand against thirty thousand, it stands to reason that the cavalry of the Zhao army was far from being the opponent of the Turkic army. However, in fact, in the first round of hedging, the casualty ratio of the Zhao army and the Turkic army was almost 1 to 89. Zhao Jun not only has excellent armor and equipment, but also has plenty of energy. However, the Zhao army did not blindly rush to the middle of the Turkic army, but like a sharpening knife, it continued to cut around the Turkic army, making it difficult for the Turkic army to deal with it. If you can't catch up, you can't fight. What made Xue Jian Khan even more annoyed was that these Zhao troops were like dog skin plasters, sticking to them deadly, making it impossible for them to escape.

Han Meng was wearing plate armor, and his hands carried the double halberd like flying. Countless Turkic soldiers who fought against him died one after another. I have to say that the soldiers of King Zhao's personal guard are indeed one in a hundred, and every soldier is the elite of the elite. Think about it, among the hundreds of thousands of Zhao army regular soldiers, there are only 30,000 Zhao Wang's personal guards, so you can imagine the difficulty of selection.

Although the Turkic soldiers were fighting desperately for their lives, although 10,000 of the 30,000 Turkic troops were the Chinese guards of Xue Jian Khan, although these soldiers were also very brave. But after all, they were attacked by surprise first, and they fled overnight. Now, the Zhao army is waiting for work, and the battle can be imagined. In particular, the cavalry of the Zhao army were all archers, and the Turkic army that was good at riding and archery was very rare, and there were very few who wore full bows and arrows when fleeing.

Seeing that his side suffered heavy casualties, Xue Jian Khan retreated while fighting. However, Zhao Jun still held on. Two hours passed, and almost half of the 30,000 Turkic soldiers were killed or wounded, and only about 15,000 were still killed. And the Zhao army still has more than 3,500 people, entangled with it. It can be said that in the current battle, the Zhao army is completely suppressing and shooting the other party with arrows.

Seeing that his subordinates are all injured, even the good horses of the north under his crotch have reached the point of exhaustion. Xue Jian Khan couldn't help but cry out: "Could it be that Ben Khan is going to die here today?" ”

Contrary to Xue Jian Khan, Han Meng and other soldiers of the pro-guard army became more and more courageous the more they fought. Now, they're completely bullying each other. The Turkic army, which was good at horse archery, now ran out of bows and arrows. And the war horses of the Turkic army galloped wildly all night, and now they can't catch up with the Zhao army. As a result, the cavalry of the Zhao army was like a hungry wolf, and began to bite around the Turkic army.

"General, what a pleasure!" Captain Cavalry said with a laugh.

Looking at the excited expressions of his subordinates and looking at the frightened Turkic army opposite, Han Meng felt extremely happy. Since following Zhao Xun, he has watched his lord grow from a small battalion captain to the three princes of the world and the king of a land.

And he, Han Meng, has also changed from a small leader of the pro-guard army to the current general of the pro-guard army, and he is the one among the Zhao army that all the generals are keen on. In the past, it was located in the north of Youzhou, and the old and young people of the family who fled the war, and the people of the village are now worry-free about food and clothing. He became a general of the town army, which can be said to be extremely beautiful. But in this way, Han Meng did not feel complacent, and now, he wanted to repay King Zhao with victory.

Thinking of this, Han Meng raised his halberd and shouted: "The eldest husband is a horse leather shroud, and it is a pleasure to die in battle." Today is the time for us to wait for a good man to raise his prestige, all the soldiers, let me be the wind of Zhao and get involved in the entire Tang Army grassland, kill! ”

The coach is like this, and the soldiers are even more bloody and high-spirited. The cavalry of the Zhao army, directly under the leadership of Han Meng, slaughtered the Turkic army with no morale.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the positions of the Turkic army. Like a fierce tiger, the cavalry of the Zhao army rushed into the flock. Han Meng bore the brunt of the attack, and the pair of iron halberds flew up and down, and the shiny crescent halberd blades glowed with a blood-colored cold glow, bringing up one after another, one after another, and strange arcs of light. Everywhere he passed, he saw the Turkic soldiers turning on their backs, and no one could stop Han Meng's charge. The rest of the cavalry, following closely behind Han Meng, immediately sprinted, like a sharp blade, galloping across the enemy formation.

"Great Khan, the situation is not good, if the Great Khan retreats first, then his subordinates are here to block the Zhao army!" Looking at the battle situation, Beduyan said to Xue Khan with a solemn face.

Xue pinched the khan's face was pale, and he said sharply: "How can this Khan leave his guards behind and leave alone!" Today, Ben Khan will fight to the death with all the generals and soldiers. ”

Xue Jian Khan didn't know the critical situation in front of him, but could he just leave? Once hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, how could he leave alone? Even if he had this idea, he might not be able to escape Zhao Jun's pursuit. If he escapes like this, these more than 10,000 soldiers are afraid that they will collapse immediately.

"Report ...... General Qiyu, Tan Ma Lai, ten miles away in the north, there are Turkic troops coming straight to this place. Just as Han Meng was rushing to kill, he got the news of Tanma.

"Oh? The Turkic army in the north? It seems that the actions of the brothers in the northern grasslands must have come to fruition. Since this is the case, the order is given, and the army immediately withdraws and returns to the blue capital city. Han Meng ordered in a deep voice.

"General, will you just let them go?" Gao Xian, the commander of the cavalry, said with some pity.

Han Meng said in a deep voice: "The lord has no intention of directly killing this so-called khan, and secondly, now that this khan is back, there will not be much danger to us Zhao Di." Our guards are the prince's cronies, and every soldier is a precious treasure, how can it be consumed here in vain? Withdraw! ”

"Great Khan, the Zhao army has withdrawn! They evacuated! ”

Xue Jian Khan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked ahead. I saw that the cavalry of the Zhao army, who had fought bravely before, had gathered up the corpses of the dead soldiers of the Zhao army and the ownerless war horses and began to turn around and leave.

"Strange? Why did Zhao Jun evacuate like this? Beduyan muttered to himself in confusion.

After a few moments, they understood. With a roar, tens of thousands of cavalry descended from the north and headed straight for the Turkic army. Looking at the flag, after the battle, the remaining Turkic soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The army that came was under the banner of the Turkic army, and suddenly, Xue Jian Khan and others also understood why the Zhao army would leave when it had the upper hand.

"Hateful! I should have known that I should have entangled this Zhao army cavalry! A captain said angrily.

Xue Jian Khan didn't care about the words of this captain, what he cared about was, why did thirty or forty thousand of his own cavalry appear here?

"Chi Xiang, the commander of the subordinate Central Military Department, meet the Great Khan!" Before the army approached, a horse quickly approached Xue Jian Khan, and then fell down in front of Xue Jian Khan's war horse.

"Chi Xiang? Didn't you accompany General Zuo to guard the southeastern border with the Zhao army? Why are you here? And why did you lead the army here? How did you find out that Ben Khan is here? In addition, you already know the situation of Ben Khan's battle under the Blue Capital? Xue Jian Khan did not become in a good mood because of Chi Xiang's rescue and courtesy, but his face was gloomy, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Beduyan, who was on the side, also came to his senses at this time and understood what Xue Jian Khan was worried about. Immediately, he stared at Chi Xiang in a daze, waiting for his answer.

Chi Xiang was slightly stunned, and then understood that his answer this time was important. If you answer well, you will be reused by Xue Jian Khan. If the answer is not satisfactory, the result will be self-evident.

"Returning to the Great Khan, his subordinates went south this time, and they originally came to deliver the news. Since the third day of the Great Khan's southward march, the Zhao army has dispatched one after another on the border of Dingzhou and Bingzhou in Zhao, and a total of 1450,000 Zhao army cavalry have entered our Turkic steppe. In addition, the Murowei tribe in our northeast also sent tens of thousands of cavalry to accompany the Zhao army to take advantage of the fire and loot. The Zhao army's infantry slowly advanced, holding back our sergeants, making it impossible for our army to effectively intercept them. ”

"In addition, the cavalry of the Zhao army used a weapon that was extremely powerful and could burst out like thunder, which was difficult for our soldiers to resist. In several battles, the morale of our troops plummeted, and there were heavy casualties. ”

Therefore, General Zuo sent heralds to deliver information to the Great Khan. However, for dozens of days, the Great Khan did not receive anything in return. General Zuo felt that something was wrong, so he deliberately asked the last general to lead 3,000 troops and go south to deliver the news. Today, the front of the subordinates found out that there were soldiers of our army fighting with the Zhao army here, and the subordinates did not know what the strength of the enemy and us was, and they were worried that they could not solve the problem with the 3,000 men in the hands of their subordinates. Therefore, his subordinates urgently recruited more than 20,000 clansmen from the Wenyu tribe and immediately supported them thousands of miles. The subordinates also saw the Great Khan's Great Khan before, and only then did they know that the Great Khan was here. As for the battle situation under the Blue Capital City, the subordinates did not know. ”

Xue Khan's face looked a little good, and then he said, "Very good, get up!" This time you have made a great contribution, Ben Khan now officially canonizes you as the former general of our Turkic army, replacing the dead Li Qiguang as the trusted former military general. ”

Hearing that the former general of the army was killed, he looked at the only remaining army of more than 10,000 wolves around Xue Jian. Chi Xiang's heart was shaken, and then he said respectfully: "Your subordinates receive the order, thank you for the Great Khan's gift!" ”

"By the way, what's going on in the North now? Zhao Jun is still operating on our steppe? Did Mo Hubao take countermeasures? Xue Jian Khan asked coldly. Now, his heart was full of anger. Not to mention that the southward expedition to Landu City was unsuccessful, but now it was counterattacked by the Zhao army, and he became the one who was hit.

"Great Khan, the situation is very bad. In the beginning, our soldiers fought against the Zhao army by virtue of our superiority over the cavalry. However, since the Zhao army used the kind of weapon that made a loud noise and was extremely lethal, our soldiers could not confront the Zhao army. By the time his subordinates left the headquarters camp, more than 60,000 of our officers and men had been lost. More than 30 small and medium-sized tribes were wiped out, and more than 100,000 people from various tribes became slaves of the Zhao army. ”

In addition, the Zhao army plundered more than 100,000 war horses and more than 300,000 livestock from various tribes. More than the capable warriors of the various tribes have been drawn from our army, so now some of the big tribes have spoken out and expressed their dissatisfaction with the Great Khan. Even, these big tribes began to woo those small and medium-sized tribes and secretly liaise. General Zuo was worried that the situation would change, so he asked his subordinates to come and report immediately! Chi Xiang said hurriedly.

"These tribes, they should be killed, they should be destroyed! At the moment of the great enemy, they are making small moves behind their backs, and they are simply forcing our Turkic army to death! Others, Ben Khan will definitely want them to look good, and he will never spare them! Xue Jian Khan scolded angrily.

"By the way, these big tribes were also attacked by the Zhao army?" After thinking about it, Xue Jian Khan asked again.

"No, for some reason, most of the cavalry of the Zhao army attacked small and medium-sized tribes. In addition, more than ten small and medium-sized tribes were forced to submit to the Zhao army, and together with the Zhao army, they attacked other tribes and became the minions of the Zhao army. ”

"Damn! Damn! This Zhao Jun is obviously implementing the same means as the Landu and other tribes, and they are trying to cut off our roots. Those damn bastards, Zhao Jundou has been forced to this point, and they are still against Ben Khan...... Unforgivable! Hearing this, Xue Khan's face turned pale. At the same time, he was also frightened and frightened by Zhao Jun's methods.
