Chapter 156: The Turkic Infighting

Not far from the Turkic camp, Cui Xiantun led a group of guards to quickly run to the top of a hillside to observe the situation.

A few miles away, there was a faint glow of fire, which was the location of the camp of the Turks who had come to report it.

There were not many lights in the camp of the Turks, and judging from the situation that had just been reported by the scouts, the Turks did not know the actions of our army at all, nor did they get the news of the annihilation of Asid's headquarters, and there was no defense or movement in the camp, and this was the time when our army attacked.

"Tell the generals, light the torches, and prepare to attack the camp!" Cui Xiantun ordered, marching for several days in a row, just for the upcoming attack, if the Turks did not know the situation during the march in the past few days, and did a very good job, then the next attack on the camp should be played better, in this way, Pei Xingjian's raid on the Turks in all directions can be regarded as successful, Cui Xiantun does not want his troops to play badly, and affect the entire battle situation, and be punished by Pei Xingjian.

With Cui Xiantun's order, countless torches were lit, and then several fire dragons composed of these torches quickly flew away in the direction of the Turks.

The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty began to speed up, the hooves of the war horses began to sound loudly, and the whole earth trembled slightly.

Cui Xiantun held a long lance, waved it, and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Brothers, kill me fiercely!"

As the commander of tens of thousands of soldiers, Cui Xiantun did not need to personally enter the camp, he took thousands of soldiers as a reserve to observe and direct the battle near a hillside more than a mile away from the Turkic camp.

More than 20,000 soldiers under his command, led by a number of Zhonglang generals, entered from the southwest side of the Turkic camp.

Soon there was a fire in the camp of the Turks, and the tent of the Turks was lit by our soldiers, and as the depth of the soldiers rushing into the camp increased, the tents burned even more, and the clouds in the sky were somewhat dyed red.

In the direction of the southeast side of the Turks, there were also shouts of killing, and similar fire dragons were moving towards the camp, and the tents were set on fire, and many frightened Turks, as well as cattle and horses, and other livestock, were frightened, and they ran around in the camp.

"Khan! Oh no, the Fengzhi Ye Protector was wiped out by the Tang Army!" In Ashina's muddy tent, several embarrassed-looking sergeants were kneeling on the ground, howling to report the situation.

"What?" Ashina, who had just sat up from the couch, was stunned.

This is the rout of Ashide's service department, which escaped from the burning camp by luck, and was lucky not to be wiped out or captured by the Tang cavalry, and fled eastward frantically, and escaped the interception of the Tang cavalry, and escaped into the muddy camp of Ashina, and was escorted to their "khan" tent by the guarding sergeant.

At this time, Ashina was about to sleep, and after receiving a report from the sergeant outside the tent, he said that a number of sergeants from Ashide's service department ran over, and they also got up immediately and summoned the sergeants who had escaped into the camp.

When Ashina heard this, the sleepiness that had just come up disappeared suddenly, and he asked a few of the routed soldiers who were kneeling on the ground: "Tell Ben Khan quickly, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Back to the Khan, the Tang army in the middle of the night last night, the Turks attacked the camp... There are tens of thousands of people... Ye Hu can't resist... I don't know where I am...", a few of the defeated soldiers who had not yet come back to their senses stammered and explained the situation roughly.

Ashina mud heard the cold sweat came out, Ashide's service department was annihilated by the Tang army, the Tang army is still a lot of people, from the perspective of attack ability, it must not be the Tang army that retreated to the single capital to protect the mansion The Tang army was defeated, the Tang Dynasty must have sent a large army to attack them again, and the service department was annihilated, so the target of the next Tang army's attack must be their own.

Fortunately, there were defeated soldiers who ran back to report the situation and gave themselves time to react, so Ashina immediately ordered someone to send other leaders to come over to discuss things.

Ashina Ni is familiar with the belief that the Tang army will immediately pursue the rout and attack his camp, and there will be more rout soldiers who will run back next, and there will be many routs, and his subordinates will inevitably panic, and they must discuss a countermeasure with other leaders.

What made Ashina Ni Shulu even more surprised continued to happen, these defeated soldiers had just reported the general situation of Ashid's service department, and before the other leaders of Ashina Ni Shu's men had arrived, the sergeant guarding the camp hurriedly came to report the situation.

"Khan, there are Tang troops attacking the camp, and there are tens of thousands of people," a number of sergeants on guard in the camp ran to the tent to report.

"What!? The Tang army is so fast..."In Ashina's familiar ears, he also heard the sound of shouts and horses' hooves, which were mixed together and came from far and near.

"Khan, the Tang army has attacked the camp, what are we going to do?" A group of leaders poured into Ashina's muddy tent one after another, everyone had a frightened look on their faces, and some of them were still disheveled.

"Hurry up and organize resistance!" Ashina almost roared and shouted.

There was no time to discuss countermeasures, the Tang army had already rushed into the camp, and the only way to do so was to immediately organize forces to resist.

"Khan, let's surrender, the Tang army came prepared this time, the tens of thousands of troops of Ashid who served Ye Hu have been wiped out by the Tang army, the Tang army has a lot of troops coming this time, and they have attacked our camp, we have no ability to repel them!" A leader under Ashina Ni's subordinate called Ashina Dezhong pleaded loudly.

is also a member of the Turkic royal family Ashina, when Ashid was appointed and Ashdwin Fu raised troops against the Tang Dynasty, Ashinadezhong, as the patriarch of the clan, opposed his own anti-Tang Dynasty. But Ashina, who had always dreamed of recovering to the territory of the Turkic Empire and was addicted to Khan, was unwilling to be only a chief under the Tang Dynasty, and listened to the bewitchment of Ashid and Ashdwin Fu, and rose up against the Tang Dynasty together, and was embraced as Khan.

The strength of this tribe with members of the Ashina royal clan as the head neighbor is not increased, but there are many elders in the clan, and there are great differences in the matter of whether to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty, and some older elders led by Ashina Dezhong are resolutely opposed to the anti-Tang Dynasty, but some other young leaders are in favor of serving with Ashde, and Ashdwin Fu is anti-Tang self-reliance, and in the end, the voice of the young Zhuang faction prevailed, plus Ashina is also unwilling to be only a chieftain, the attraction of the khan is too great, also followed Asd's appointment and fought against Tang together with Asdwin Fu.

The appeal of the Ashina family is still relatively large, after Ashina mud became familiar with the anti-Tang Dynasty, the Turkic tribes in many surrounding states and counties also responded, including other tribes led by members of the Ashina royal family, raised troops together, gathered hundreds of thousands of people, and the momentum was huge.

The Tang army also immediately entered the suppression, at the beginning, the Turks were defeated in battle, some elders who opposed the army under Ashina Ni Shu Creeping repeatedly suggested surrendering to the Tang Army, Ashina Ni Shu Creeping was also shaken, but then Ashid took advantage of the heavy snow to lead the army to attack the Tang Army's grain convoy, and attacked the Tang Army camp again, as a result, the Tang Army was defeated, and the call to surrender to the Tang Army immediately weakened, and Ashina Dezhong had no reason to oppose the rebellion against the Tang Dynasty.

Now that the Tang army has attacked the camp, and the most powerful Ashide service unit has been completely wiped out by the Tang army, most of the people in the tent know that they are not capable of resisting the attack of the Tang army.

"No, now the Tang Dynasty is just a dead end, quickly organize people and horses to resist the attack of the Tang army!" Listening to Ashina Dezhong's words, Ashina was familiar but furious, "The Tang army has been fighting continuously, and it is already a tired division, we will resist immediately, we can block the attack of the Tang army, and then find an opportunity to get closer to Ashina Fu's department, seek support, and then retreat to Mobei!"

"Khan, the Tang army has already entered the camp and is rushing over here, and the soldiers of the Tang army are shouting, as long as we surrender, they will not blame the past!" A man who looked like a leader, covered in blood, rushed in from outside the tent and reported loudly.

"Khan, hurry up and surrender, our people can die a lot!" Many of the patriarchs of the clan also pleaded.

"No, Khan, we must fight to the end, and we must not disgrace the reputation of the Ashina royal family!" A young leader stepped forward and drew the scimitar in his hand, "Khan, immediately lead people to resist, and his subordinates will take people first..."

Several young leaders also left the camp.

"Hugh has to say again, hurry up and lead the clansmen to resist the attack of the Tang army!" Seeing that several subordinates led their clansmen to resist, Ashina was also determined to resist to the end, pulled out the scimitar in his hand, and jumped like thunder, "Whoever dares to surrender again, don't hesitate to kill!"

Ashnadezhong knelt down with a plop, "Khan, for the benefit of the clan, we can't confront the Tang Dynasty, we have already made a mistake in front, we can't make mistakes again and again, in order to let the clansmen die less, hurry up and send someone to ask for surrender, my subordinates are willing to take people to the Tang military camp to ask for surrender!"

Seeing that no one in the tent went out to direct the men and horses to resist, Ashina was even more furious, jumped in front of Ashina Dezhong, and pointed at it with the scimitar in his hand: "If you don't go out again, don't blame Ben Khan for not being merciful!"

Tang Jun's shouts of killing came from far and near, but his subordinates were still asking in the tent, which made Ashina familiar with the heart of the man.

"Khan, please surrender when you open the camp, as long as we surrender, the Tang Army will not embarrass us!" Ashina Dezhong didn't get up, but still pleaded, and grabbed Ashina's hand that was holding the knife well.

"Die!" Ashina broke free and prepared to stab Ashina Zhong.

"Ahh There was only half a scream, but it was not from Ashina Dezhong, it was from the mouth of Ashina Ni who was just about to raise a knife to stab Ashina Dezhong, and the knife in the hand of a young leader cut Ashina Ni's throat, and blood splattered all over the ground.

The people in the tent were all dumbfounded, looking at the scene in front of them, several Ashina guards who were familiar with the mud couldn't react.

Swinging a knife to kill Ashina Nishu is Ashina Dezhong's son Ashinening.

"Father, the patriarchs, only with the head of the Khan can the Tang army stop the killing of the Tang army, let me accompany my father to negotiate with the generals of the Tang army, and let the Tang army let our people go!" Ashnanin said resolutely.

"Elder Dezhong, it's up to you to do Ye Guardian and come out to negotiate with the Tang Army!" The other leaders in the tent spoke in unison.

"Hurry up and give the order, give up resistance, open the camp and surrender!" Ashnadezhong stood up and commanded majestically...
