Chapter 558: The Turks Who Fled Without a Fight

"Lord Daliyego, let's get out of here quickly!"

At the same time that the Xia army on the northern route was attacking in the direction of the Turks, in the large Turkic camp at the junction of the Egenshui and Duluoshui, several high-ranking Turkic generals were trying to persuade a young man.

This young man was gorgeous, and he was none other than Daliyehu, the prince of the Dulan Khan, the commander of this Turkic army.

As the son of Dulan Khan, although Dali Yehu did not clearly obtain the title of heir, but because the previous princess Dayi and the princess who married from the Sui Empire did not have children, Dali Yehu, who was good at riding and archery since childhood, will inevitably become the heir of Dulan Khan, and his prestige among the Turks is not low.

Dulan Khan panicked when he learned that the Xia Kingdom was about to launch a large-scale attack from the northern Condor City, he was already old and had lost his ambition to fight the Xia State in the first place.

Later, it was Daliye Hu who took the initiative to ask to lead his troops north to resist the offensive of the Xia army, which made Dulan Khan calm down his panicked heartbeat a little.

However, to the disappointment of the Turks, the offensive of the Xia State was not only from the north as they had expected, but from four different directions at the same time, Beihai, Nanshui, Gonglushui, and Xiping County, and more than 600,000 Xia cavalry was not at all something that the Turks could resist.

Looking at the offensive of the Xia army, this battle is not only to take down the Turkic tent, but even to pull the entire Turkic out of the steppe.

This made Dulan Khan, who was already afraid of the Xia Kingdom, frightened, and when Daliye Hu led the army north, the panicked Dulan Khan suddenly led more than 100,000 cavalry from the Turkic tent to the south, of course he was not to deal with several other Xia troops.

After all, Dulan Khan did not forget that his son was still on the front line to resist the Xia army, and he also remembered that he sent someone to send a message to him to lead his troops to leave when he had time.

However, Dali Yehu was unwilling to leave, he did not want to lose the Turkic court, and he also wanted to contact the Qigu people, the Xue Yantuo people, and the Western Turks to fight against the Xia army.

However, even the main lord Dulan Khan has taken the lead in escaping the Turkic tent, so don't expect Xue Yantuo and the Qigu people to send troops together, the Western Turkic Datou Khan has always been tactful and even more unexpected, and now Dali Yehu only faces hundreds of thousands of Xia troops from the north and south.

Facing the Xia army, which was only a few hundred miles away, although Daliye Hu was also quite afraid in his heart, but he inherited the pride of the Turkic royal family, but he was unwilling to flee like his father, and he quickly refused the request of several generals to let him leave first.

"Although Father Khan has led his troops to evacuate, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops around the royal court who have not withdrawn, once we don't stop the Xia army here, those troops will be the Xia army's meat!"

Daliye was unwilling, he had never fought with the Xia army, and he didn't believe that the Xia people really had such a strong combat effectiveness: "No matter how strong the Xia army is, their soldiers don't only have one life, let's fight with them first!" ”

It is said that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, that is, Dali Ye protects this.

The combat effectiveness of the Turks in the steppe is not because of how strong their frontal combat ability is, especially the Turks, who are good at Ranger combat, finally brought their attack tactics on the steppe to the extreme this time, which even made the Xia army quite sad.

'If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you will run! The Turks took the tactics of guerrilla warfare to the extreme, and if the Xia army was small in number, it would be difficult to pursue, and if there were too many people, the Turks would concentrate their forces to fight an ambush.

Although the Xia army did not fall behind in the battle with its excellent armor, it also lost thousands of people in successive days, even if the losses of the Turks were not lower than this figure, but it was still difficult for the Xia army to accept.

What made Han Zigao most angry was that the Turks actually relied on their familiarity with the grassland terrain to bring a group of pursuing Xia cavalry into a swamp, if it weren't for the fact that the generals of the Xia army who led the team had always been more cautious, I am afraid that this time the Xia army would have lost more than 1,000 people.

In the end, Han Zigao finally ambushed a group of Turks with his own strategy and wiped out hundreds of Turks, and the Xia army was not far from the junction of Egenshui and Duluoshui, which made Dali Yehu stop harassing the Xia army, and the big war between the two sides was about to begin.

The Xia army was attacked and harassed by the Turks dozens of times before, and the soldiers lost are not counted, the key is that the soldiers of the Xia army have a breath of anger in their hearts, and the Turks have attacked and harassed themselves many times before and cannot find the main master, and this time they finally found the object of revenge.

When it was time to fight, Daliye finally realized that he was wrong, and it was too wrong!

The biggest advantage of the Turks is that their familiarity with the steppe is stronger than that of the Xia army, and they should give full play to the Turkic attack tactics, rather than confronting the red-eyed Xia people on the frontal battlefield, I am afraid this is also the Xia army's favorite.

The war horses of ordinary soldiers of the Xia army are actually taller than the war horses of the Turks!

Xia Jun's weapons are really sophisticated! With a single sword, you can cut the weapons of a Turkic soldier in two!

The armor of the Xia army is so strong, no matter how much the Turkic soldiers cut it with a knife, it can't be broken!

The most terrible thing is that the weapons used by many soldiers in the Xia army actually have a steel pipe that can breathe fire, as long as there is a crisp sound, after a flash of fire, even the strongest Turkic warriors will die immediately!

What made the Turks even more frightened was that the Xia army would also use a kind of heavenly thunder that would emit a scream, causing the Turkic war horses who had never experienced such a scene to mess up.

Seeing this scene, Dali Yehu really regretted it at this moment, he finally knew how powerful Xia Jun was that his fathers said in the past!

No! The current Xia army is even more powerful than the fathers said, at least the original Xia army soldiers will not have so many powerful weapons in their hands, but these experiences are all exchanged by the Turks with their own blood.

Under the sharp offensive of more than 200,000 Xia troops, more than 100,000 Turks soon could not withstand it, and when they found out that the Xia army actually had an attempt to encircle and annihilate them in one breath, these Turks who were defeated by the Xia army suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, turned around and fled.

But even so, the Xia army left behind the lives of 80,000 Turks, and the pale steppe was covered with pools of bright red and sticky blood.

Run, run, run!

Chase, chase, chase!

Facts have proved that the riding skills of the Xia people, who are half-cultivated and half-pastoral, are not as good as the Turks who live on horseback all day, not to mention that the Xia army is at most one person and two horses, while the Turks are one person and three horses.

After several days of pursuit, the Xia army finally gave up the pursuit of these Turkic defeated soldiers with a sigh of hope, and Daliye was able to lead tens of thousands of remnants to flee to the southwest.

Of course, the Xia army gave up the pursuit of Dali Yehu because they had to sweep away the hundreds of thousands of Turkic tribes along the banks of the Egen River and the Duluo River.

After all, the area of Egenshui and Duluoshui is the heartland of the Turks, even if there was Dulan Khan, a loser, who took the lead in escaping, taking away more than 100,000 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of troops, but at this time there were still 200,000 or 300,000 Turkic tribes who were unwilling to leave, and it was too late for them to leave when the Xia army attacked.

"Over the years, it is most comfortable to rob these Turkic things!"

Fa Yan happily watched as the soldiers under his command drove a large herd of cattle and sheep to the rear army, where there were special soldiers counting and taking care of these cattle and sheep, these are the soldiers' military achievements in the future, and the captured Turkic war horses can be temporarily kept in their hands.

Fa Yan happily led his troops to sweep away the surrounding Turkic tribes, and Han Zigao was already standing in front of the golden tent of the Turkic tent at this time.

"I used to hear people talk about the story of the Han army's sealing of the wolf Juxu, and I was always happy, but now we have also captured this Turkic tooth tent and come to the foot of the wolf Juxu Mountain, why am I not excited at all!" Han Zigao stepped on a Turkic wolf flag and looked at Yudujin Mountain in the west.

Yudu Jin Mountain in the Turkic period was the Xiongnu wolf Juxu Mountain in the Han Dynasty, and behind Han Zigao was the Turkic Golden Tent that the Turks had no time to dismantle when they left.

Pei Jie stood beside Han Zigao and also looked at Yudu Jin Mountain from afar, and then sighed and said: "In the past, if the Han army wanted to attack the Xiongnu royal court, it needed to cross the desert and grassland, and the hardships along the way were incomparable. ”

"That's right!" Han Zigao thought about it and said with a smile, "No matter what we do, no matter what we do, we can't compare to the merits of Your Majesty after all, and now we can attack the Turkic Tooth Tent, not by virtue of the foundation that Your Majesty has laid over the years!" ”

"Yes, although the Turks are defeated now, but Nadu Lan Khan fled ahead of time and was taken away by him at least more than 100,000 cavalry, plus the previous group of Turks also left nearly 40,000 cavalry when they fled, the threat of the Turks to us still exists, it is better to quickly solve these Turks to sort out!" Pei Jie also sighed.

"Job, job!" Han Zigao urged, "I'll only give you fifteen days to clean up this grassland east of Dujin Mountain!" ”

Although the Turks still had hundreds of thousands of troops in the steppe who had not had time to withdraw, these ordinary Turkic tribes could not resist the occupation of the steppe by the Xia army after all.

When Li Hongyu and Shi Haiguang rushed to the Egenshui Basin, there was no living space for the Turkic people to the east of Yudu Jin Mountain and north of the desert, which means that this vast grassland was already the grassland of the Xia people themselves.

Subsequently, under the order of Han Zigao, Shi Haiguang led his 150,000 cavalry to continue to sweep west of Yudujin Mountain, and did not stop until Jinshan (Altai Mountain), at this time, the grassland tribe west of Dujin Mountain to Jinshan was still strong except for a few Turks, that is, Xue Yantuo.

However, Xue Yantuo only had 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry in the most powerful period, and because he took the lead in resisting the rule of the Turks, the Xue Yantuo people at this time only had 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry.

Even at this time, the Qigu people were still unwilling to fail and launched a counterattack with Xue Yantuo, but after Yan Xiaowu and Shi Haiguang joined forces to attack them, they were still defeated miserably.

Xue Yantuo was almost all killed in the first battle, and after the Qigu people lost more than 100,000 people again, among the more than 200,000 people, there were only 30,000 or 40,000 young people left, and they were already very afraid of the Xia army, and they finally did not dare to stay west of Jianshui this time, and began to continue to migrate westward.

Yan Xiaowu, who was unwilling to let go of the Qigu people, also began to continuously send troops to explore westward, preparing to continue to open up the territory of the Xia Kingdom to the west, while Shi Haiguang was cleaning up the grasslands east of Jinshan while deterring the Datou Khan who was about to move, while Han Zigao was worried about the whereabouts of Dulan Khan at this time.

Dali Yehu's whereabouts are very clear, he directly led nearly 40,000 remnants to flee to the Western Turks west of Jinshan, but Dulan Khan has always had a deep hatred with Datou Khan, and it is absolutely impossible to escape to the Western Turks.

However, Han Zigao originally guessed that Dulan Khan would flee to the Hetao region of the Sui Empire, but Ji Xiang, who was attacking the Turks along the line of the Great Wall, reported that he did not find that Dulan Khan had fled to the Hetao area, so the whereabouts of Dulan Khan became a mystery.
