Chapter 397: Breaking through the lower limit

The wind howled, the blizzard danced, the wolf flag hunted and flew, and the wolf soldiers chased and slashed.

Ashina. The Servant did not wear a helmet, but rode a maroon horse, the third horse he had transferred to after leading his troops into the camp of Dyinggan, the first two of which had fallen in the way of the charge. Behind him was the standard-bearer holding a silver wolf flag, the standard-bearer was riding a cyan spotted horse, which was also the third horse that the standard-bearer had changed, and on the battlefield of the charge, the standard-bearer holding the silver wolf flag had been attacked more than his leader, but although he had changed three horses in a row like the commander, the fierce standard-bearer was covered in blood, but he was still standing. When the battle was over, the black and purple condensed in the cold wind added a bit of a different style to his battle robe.

Above their heads, flying high was the wolf head flag of the Blue Turkic Ashina family, which was a silver wolf head, and the white flag was embroidered with silver wolf head with silver thread, and the silver wolf head was inlaid with a layer of gold edge. He took off his blood-stained white robe, revealing the robe inside, a white robe embroidered with a silver wolf's head like the one on the flag. As the grandson of the Iltumen Khan, who founded the Turkic Khanate, he was still very young, and he was not as old as his brother Ashina Khan, the Western Khan, who had a white beard, well, his brother Datou Khan was no longer the Little Khan of the West, he was now the Great Khan of the Turkic Khanate. After destroying Tuli, and then turning back to clean up Du Lan's idiot, the eldest brother will definitely let himself take over the position of the Eastern Khan, and even 1 to the current age of the eldest brother, maybe within ten years, he will be able to inherit the position of the Great Khan from the hands of the eldest brother. For Tuli, Dulan, and even the Sui Kingdom of the Central Plains in the south. Tong Lifa did not have the slightest worry or fear, not to mention that the Sui State was just a country that had only been established for more than ten years. Even in centuries-old dynasties such as the Sassanid Empire of Persia and the Eastern Roman Empire, did the warriors of the western Turkic region ever have the slightest fear?

True. At that time, the Western Regions was actually created by the Khan of the wooden pole and the territory laid down by him strongly, but after the wooden pole conquered the Western Regions, he returned to the Khan's court, and in the past few decades, in fact, the vast territory of the Western Turks has been steadily developed by their father and brother. His father, the secret point of the Muroha Protector, stayed in the Western Regions, turning the western part of the Khanate, which was originally the least powerful and the lowest status in the Khanate, into the richest in the Khanate. The territory is comparable to the vast territory of the old frontier of the entire khanate, and has always kept the Tuyuhun, Ili, and Gaochang states in submission, and at the same time, it has annexed all the regions that were divided by Mujia and Persia, and expanded its power to the far west. After the eldest brother took over the west, he did not weaken and fought with the Persian Sassanid and the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Western Regions War for more than ten years finally made the Western Turks a powerful force enough to be proud of Persia and the Eastern Rome. The Eastern Romans had long been defeated by their brothers, and the Persian king had finally been defeated last year. Cut the land and make peace. It can be said that their brothers not only kept the old Western Turkic frontier inherited from their father, but also made the Western Turks the most powerful existence in the Western Regions, even in the West. Both Persia and Rome knew only about the Datou Khan, but not about the great Datou Khan in the far east. There is also a high-ranking but extremely incompetent Dulan Khan.

Both Persia and Rome have recognized the power of the Turks and the greatness of Datou.

Now Du Lan, a fool, has finally understood the current affairs and relinquished the position of the Great Khan who has been stealing from the throne. The khanate, which had been in civil strife for more than a decade, would be unified again in the hands of his elder brother.

The next step was the Sui state, which had refused to pay tribute to the khanate since its founding.

Both Persia and Rome had been defeated by the warriors of the West. The Khanate had been reunited, and Tong Liva did not think that the Sui State could still hold back the iron hooves of the Khanate.

Perhaps, after breaking through Chang'an of the Sui State in the Central Plains, I should ask my eldest brother to divide the territory of the Southern Barbarians in the Central Plains to me and establish a southern khan feudal state. He remembered that he had heard a merchant say that the southern Central Plains had a good climate and fertile land, and perhaps at that time, after he became the southern khan to rule the Central Plains, he should order all the farmland to be turned into pastures, and all the Han people should be reduced to slaves, so that they can herd sheep and cattle and feed horses instead of them for generations, well, not all people go to graze, I heard that the women in the south of the Han people are like water, the water is tender and beautiful, well, the beautiful can be picked out to serve themselves, sing and dance for themselves, and sleep with themselves at night.

By the way, Tong Lifa remembered one thing, when he broke through Chang'an, he must remember to grab the princesses of the Han emperor as soon as possible. It is said that the princesses of the Han people are all beautiful and gentle, all of them have golden branches and jade leaves, and they are extremely noble. Damn, in the past, the Han people always sent the princess to the grassland every year, but since Yang Jian became the emperor of the Han people, he has not sent a princess to the grassland for many years. Only last year I married a princess to the grassland, it is said that she is not a real princess, but just the daughter of the Yang family, but she is such a daughter, and in the end she actually married the dog who dyed dry. Du Lan used to inherit a Han princess from his Lao Tzu, once the princess of the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is said that this woman is very good, although with several great khans, but this woman is not only not disabled by the wind and snow of the grassland, but more and more charming, it is said that this woman was adopted by Du Lan actually looked down on this cowardly guy, and finally found a Sogdian as a lover. Later, Dye Gan obeyed the orders of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty and deliberately revealed this matter to Du Lan, but Du Lan, a fool, was angry and killed the adulterer and adulteress caught on the spot. That fool originally thought that after killing the princess of the Yuwen family, he could ask Yang Jian to marry a real princess of the Yang family, but in the end, Yang Jian married a clan girl as a princess to Dye Gan, but he refused to marry a clan girl to him, let alone a real princess, which was a complete humiliation of Du Lan's idiot.

I heard that the daughter of the Yang family who was married to Dye Gan was good, and she was very gentle and graceful, thinking of this, she stopped fighting the horse, and her weathered face that looked a little pale showed a trace of lewdness and pride.

As the team runs, the armor and weapons collide with each other, and the most elite warriors of the West clean up the battlefield.

They are the real elite, the real Turks, the tribal guards of the Blue Turkic Ashina. Attached to the wolf ride. They were in this battle just now, in the number of three thousand people. but they defeated ten times as many enemies. The camp of dyeing and drying had more than 30,000 men, although not 30,000 soldiers. There were more than 5,000 warriors among the men and horses gathered here, and there were more than this number of young men and old men, but there were so many people, but in the final battle, they were outnumbered, and the 3,000 wolf riders who were attached to the wolf rode only used one charge, and they entered the camp. They didn't even meet much resistance at all, and the guys were completely chaotic and collapsed, a result that even Liva was a little surprised and hard to believe. Along. He had thought of all sorts of battle situations, but he hadn't thought of them.

In the war of the Four Khans Coalition convened by the eldest brother last year to attack Dulan, Tong Livar and Dyegan were in the same camp, and they also fought side by side, and the northern tribal alliance army holding black banners was strong and strong, not inferior to the warriors in the west. Even Dye Gan himself is skilled in bows and horses, and his martial arts are outstanding, but the result of this battle. But he was very surprised.

What happened to dyeing dry? Could it be that since that guy married the princess of the Sui Dynasty, he sang every night and made his feet soft? Now he wanted to meet the princess more and more, and see how much disaster had been to the country and the people. The red face is in trouble, and the country is overwhelmed.

But

One after another, the chiefs of the northern tribes were escorted over, each dressed in elaborate and ornate armor. The swords worn were inlaid with gold and silver, and the helmets were decorated with silk feathers, feathers, or gemstones. In the ranks of this group of gorgeous armor. Tong Liva couldn't find a Han princess who he had been looking forward to for a long time, and even moved his eyes several times. I can't even find the old guy who dyed dry.

Since the beginning of the raid, there have been a steady stream of northerners running away, and at that time, Tong Lifa didn't care, he only had 3,000 men, and he was actually very happy to see people fleeing. If all the northerners stay and fight hard, they don't know who will die in the end. He was glad to see the timid Yankees running away, but he didn't even think that Dye Gan would run away. In his mind, although the Dye Gan who had fought with him was not very powerful, it was also a standard Turkic nobleman, and timidity and cowardice should be the character of a very small number of Turkic nobles like Du Lan, but it should never belong to a leader like Dye Gan. Thinking about it from the heart, if he was dyed dry, a large battalion of 30,000 people, encountered a surprise attack by 3,000 men and horses, even if he was attacked and caught off guard, he would never retreat lightly.

But he found out that he was wrong, and he overestimated the dyeing.

This son of a bitch, he scolded fiercely in his heart.

According to the interrogation of the captives, when they first entered the camp, Dyegan did not put up the slightest resistance, and fled directly to the southeast with the Han princess and his attached wolf guard. This son of a bitch raised 30,000 horses, but in the face of 3,000 Turks, she ran away as soon as possible, without the slightest hesitation, without even a little symbolic resistance.

It's hard to believe.

He really didn't believe the result at first.

He sent his men to carefully examine the captives, and searched and checked each one several times, and their captives were very me, which took him a lot of time. Of the more than 30,000 people in the dyed camp, half of them became his prisoners, and nearly half of them ran away, and the real ones killed by them were only a few hundred, less than 500.

Most of the people who ran away were soldiers and young men, and most of his captives were women, children, and old people who couldn't run fast.

When he saw this final result, Tong Livar's face turned blue.

Because of this, he delayed a lot of the pursuit time, and missed the opportunity to hunt down the timid Dyegan.

Dye Gan ran away, but according to the information obtained, Dye Gan did not run away with the more than 10,000 soldiers, and the dog only took the most elite guards and ran away from the wolf, and it is estimated that there are only about 1,000 people, and the rest who ran away scattered and fled. Now, the captured nobles and chiefs are all around him like flies, buzzing, like flies on corpses, these guys are as shameless as dyeing, and when they are raided, they don't have time to escape, and they simply surrender. And then, these guys were still shamelessly making all sorts of demands on him, and they were talking about attachment, without the slightest appearance of thinking of themselves as prisoners, and they didn't seem to remember that they were the northerners of Dye Gan's men.

Damn, I still have to endure these birdmen.

In the future, maybe the old brother will send someone else to take the place of this northern khan, but for these northerners. He still has to win over him, no matter who is the Great Khan. Whoever is a little Khan, these guys can't really be underestimated.

"Wolves only cling to the strongest head wolf. After more than ten years of war, Datou Khan has defeated those incompetent and cowardly wolves and become the most powerful wolf king on the grassland. It's good that you can understand the form. "On behalf of the greatest wolf king, Datou Khan, I declare to you that as long as you follow Yu Datou Khan wholeheartedly in the future, then Datou Khan will also inherit and recognize your position and your domination over your tribes." ”

"Dye Gan is a fool who rebelled against his own people. It's a black sheep, such a guy, everyone who is a Turkic person should be punished. ”

The failure to catch Ran Gan and Princess Anyi greatly reduced Tong Liva's sense of victory in the raid, and even made him depressed. He had completely forgotten about it, and if Somegan really held on to this place, maybe the outcome of the battle would have been different. If it hadn't been for Dye Gan's accidental escape, perhaps the soldiers in the camp would not have broken up and fled so quickly, if he had stayed. Maybe it's going to be a tough battle, and maybe they'll be outnumbered and finally lost by Dyegan.

Du Lan's younger brother Suni came over with his son Zhong, "Serva Servant." He spoke with a look of joy on his face.

"Suni is out of service." But there wasn't much excitement in Lai Va. Just replied faintly.

"It was a great victory, our 3,000 warriors defeated the 30,000 horses of Dyegan." Ash Nazhong shouted excitedly, this guy is still too young. He even saw his former self in him.

"No, it's not a big win." He shook his head and sighed. "Dye ran away, and none of his sons were caught. The Sui Dynasty's Princess Anyi was not caught, and even basically except for the hundreds of northern warriors who were killed by our raid at the beginning, the warriors under Dye Gan's men basically ran away. Most of the captives we captured were women, children, and old people. In addition, the camp was basically burned down by the fire we had set on fire, and the forage and internal stems of the camp, as well as the cattle and sheep, were almost all destroyed by ashes, and less than one of the tenths were preserved. You say, what kind of victory is this? ”

In Turkic tradition, victory in battle was measured by the amount of loot captured, followed by the number of enemy young warriors killed or wounded, or the capture of the enemy's leader.

But this battle is too inexplicable.

Saying that they were victorious, yes, they captured the camp of dyed dry and captured tens of thousands of prisoners.

But this is not a victory, because Dyegan and Princess Anyi ran away, his son also ran, in addition to Dyegan's elite guards also ran, most of the soldiers and young men in the camp also ran, and even the tents, grain, grass, cattle and sheep were mostly burned.

Now they only harvest tens of thousands of old and weak women and children!

Suni's face suddenly lost much joy, and he asked Tsuliva, "What are we going to do now?" How did the captives escape, and what about the northerners who escaped? ”

"Remember our purpose." "Our goal is to dye dry, and the other damn northerners will be left alone." After resting for the night, replenishing the fodder and horses, we will continue our pursuit eastward early tomorrow morning. ”

"And what about these Yankees?"

"It's all gone." Tong Livar said directly.

"Released?"

"If you don't let it go, do you want to take it with you?" Tong Livar sneered, if they didn't plan to continue the pursuit of Dyinggan, they could leave these prisoners, even if these were just some old and weak women and children, but they were still good trophies, but now, these people would only be a drag. "We had to bite the dye dry and not let up at all. This time, we didn't get the dye dry, so it wasn't time to relax and be happy. Don't forget that Dye Gan is the Khan of the North, and we have only broken through his camp of 30,000 men. It is not unusual that he could gather another 30,000 horses at any time, or even 300,000 horses. This is his territory, and our 3,000 men are the vanguards, and our task is not to give Somegan a chance to rest, and not to give him a chance to gather more soldiers and horses. ”

Suni nodded, "But I don't think Dye Gan may stay to gather soldiers and horses, with what he did tonight, I'm afraid that he will keep running to the Khitan in one breath." ”

"Then we will keep chasing to the Khitan in one breath, even if we run to the Yan Yan and run to the East China Sea, we can't stop pursuing."

"You can't run away from the dyeing dry." Ashina Sheli rode his horse over, "Even if Dye Gan is bent on escaping and does not dare to fight again, but he has nowhere to escape, he runs eastward, before the Xi Xi Khitan in the east, there are Tiele tribes, those real northerners have accepted the order of the Great Khan, and will send troops to intercept him." And if Dyegan runs south, Dulan Khan has also sent troops to the east, and will intercept the line of the moraine and guard the southern exit of the desert from Mobei to Monan. What the special agent said just now is right, there is nowhere to escape, what we have to do now is to bite him, make him tired, and never give him a chance to gather his subordinates. ”

ps: I went to the field a few days ago, and I just came home today, and it turned out that the Lu Youqi at home was thunderbolted, maybe it was robbed, or maybe, if I was at home yesterday, maybe I had the opportunity to cross the world of leaving this dog-day.

A few days ago, I was notified by my boss that my 20,000 yuan of hard-earned money was deducted, and I worked hard for most of the year. (To be continued......)
