Chapter 808: Armageddon
808
In the seventh year of Dingping, Wei Yingjue came to Biansai for the second time, accompanied by only a few hundred people.
At this time, Wei Yining had already given birth to three sons, and the poor Grandpa Zhong, who was eager for a daughter, didn't even see a daughter.
Although less than four years have passed, Wei Yingjue has completely grown into a man.
The long body is jade, looking forward to Shenfei, and he is riding on a horse with a heroic face.
He came to Liangzhou only after he became a relative, this is the queen's meaning, if he doesn't agree, he will never let him come here.
Wei Yingjue's family affairs were of course advocated by the queen, and he married a daughter from a family with perfect character and appearance, but Wei Yingjue didn't care about it at all, and left Beijing three days after getting married, and went straight to Liangzhou.
Although Wei Hongan also wanted to come, because his grandmother was old, it was inconvenient for him to stay away, so he stayed in Beijing and had already joined the court.
Wei Yining knew all this, so after Wei Yingjue arrived, he just asked about the cold and warmth, and took the wind and washed the dust.
The reason why Wei Yingjue came to the border pass was because Zhong Ye had already decided to have a decisive battle with the Turks. Even if the Turks do not want to fight, they must be forced to fight.
The reason for this is because of the ambition of the Turkic wolves, who have repeatedly invaded the border in the past hundred years, and cannot relax their vigilance just because they have temporarily reined in.
What's more, because of the years of governance, Liangzhou has enough money and food, strong soldiers and horses, and there is no need to be afraid of the Turkic iron cavalry. What's more, alliances have been established with small countries in the Western Regions, and they want to make great strides in development and exchange trade, and it is impossible to go smoothly with the Turks in the middle.
What's more, the Turkic provocation is the first, and everyone must know the fate of daring to provoke Da Zhou.
On this point, Zhong Ye and the emperor have long reached an agreement. And when Yan Kentang patrolled the border back then, he also held the same view.
Wei Yingjue has long had the will to kill the enemy, so he insisted on going to the battlefield this time. If he doesn't agree, I'm afraid that he will do something drastic. Zhong Ye was worried that he had made a mistake, and he was afraid that he was too young to know the seriousness. Therefore, he was repeatedly told to follow him and never rush to the front.
August and autumn are the best season for combat.
The crops have been harvested, and there is no need to worry about fighting at this time.
On the eighth day of the first month, the 150,000-strong army was ready to go, and Zhong Ye was appointed generalissimo.
The troops were divided into three routes to encircle and suppress the Turks.
There was no need to hide and ambush in this time, because it had been decided to completely wipe out the Turks, and there were plenty of troops.
Now that the Turks have retreated into the desert, it is not easy to find their nest.
The army marched for half a month, and did not even see the shadow of the Turks.
Suddenly, the weather changed abruptly, and the day suddenly turned into night, and the flying sand and rocks were like ghosts crying wolf.
The Han army was well-trained, and in this weather situation, they all dismounted and waited in place, waiting for the weather to clear.
In such a situation, the march is extremely dangerous.
But Wei Yingjue just took his men and continued to walk, but his subordinates couldn't persuade him, and they were afraid that he would lose it, so they had to follow him closely.
When the wind and sand stopped, they didn't know where they were going, and they couldn't find the direction of the large army, only their team of less than 10,000 people.
But Wei Yingjue still rushed forward non-stop, and his subordinates didn't listen to him no matter how much they persuaded him.
Everyone felt that he was running around like a headless fly, and the final result was to get lost.
So I had to leave markers along the road, after all, there was no guide in the desert but to get lost, there was no other choice.
Besides, Zhong Ye, when he found that Wei Yingjue was gone, he hurriedly sent 10,000 people to look for it. Ask them to find Wei Yingjue as soon as possible and bring him back.
The march of the main forces on this side could not be stopped, and after three more days of walking, they met the Turkic army head-on.
The army was led by the Turkic general Khorshan, a man known for his fierceness and a strong man among the Turks.
On Nakazhongno's side, in addition to the ironclad army, there are also samurai wearing heavy armor and holding big sticks, and these 5,000 people are responsible for the charge.
Zhong Ye's famous cavalry attacked from both sides, and he took the lead and rushed to the enemy camp first.
However, the Turkic soldiers are indeed fierce, knowing that there is no way to retreat, and they do not care about life and death when they fight.
The fight lasted for three days. The people and horses are out of strength, the corpses are full of corpses, and the smell of blood wafting in the wind is far from being describable by the word tragic.
Despite this, the remaining forces of both sides still refused to give up.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Wei Yingjue led his men and horses from the northwest to arrive, like a sharp blade splitting the chaos, accelerating the end of this war.
"Where did you kid go?" The armor on Zhong Ye's body was stained with blood, but it was all the blood of the enemy, and Jian Wei Yingjue returned safely, and his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Grandpa, the little prince has made a great contribution this time!" The sergeant who followed Wei Yingjue said excitedly: "We followed the little prince all the way, who would have thought that we would find the nest of the Huns hoarding grain and grass!" King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu personally guarded it, and there were 10,000 Turkic soldiers on defense. At that time, we were beating drums in our hearts, you know, those people were the elite of the Turkic soldiers.
But before we could say anything, the little prince took the lead in rushing down. Good guys, it's easy to kill the Turkic army when it comes!
The subordinates also shouted, and rushed down, and there was a lot of fighting!
Then Xiao Wang wanted to capture King Zuo Xian alive, and forced all the Turkic soldiers to surrender.
When we finished cleaning up the battlefield, the 10,000 people you sent to find the prince also arrived, so I asked them to escort back all the grain, grass and baggage they had obtained. ”
"The grain and grass have been brought back, what about the Turkic captives?" Zhong Ye asked.
"This ......" Wei Yingjue's sergeants looked at each other, and they all lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"Kill them all," Wei Yingjue said without changing his face: "Only one Zuo Xian King remained." ”
It's not that he can't kill and surrender, but with Wei Yingjue's identity, this matter should not be carried out by him, even Zhong Ye has to ask the emperor.
However, it is a big taboo to be held accountable before the battle, so Zhong Ye didn't say much.
"In this way, there are not many Turkic troops left, but why haven't you seen the Aquila Khan so far?" Zhong Ye couldn't help frowning when he thought of this.
It stands to reason that he will always show up in a head-on battle, but if he is not seen in either place, where else will he be?
Could it be that he encountered the Third Route Soldier?
But left and right, I didn't encounter any Turkic soldiers along the way, and I came back in a circle.
Zhong Ye was frightened, and hurriedly ordered: "Xue Wei, you take 50,000 horses and horses and slowly return with these captives. General Shen took Ying Jue and led 30,000 people to continue to search the depths of the desert to see if there were any remnants of the army. I will go back to Liangzhou immediately to prevent the Aquila Khan from leading people to attack the city. ”
