Chapter 454: Survival
The territory of the Turks was large, but it never included the Central Plains.
He has experienced the glory of several khans such as his father Yili and Muzhu, and once thought that when he became a Turkic Khan, he must achieve a great cause that far surpasses that of the Xianbei Tuoba clan and be the master of the Central Plains. He wants to take his sons and daughters to drink the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and fight until the end of the day, so that the great achievements of the Ashina family will be passed on for thousands of years!
But as I grew older, this fantasy gradually became unrealistic. The big countries of the Central Plains in the south, their strength is far beyond the imagination of the photograph, even in the era when the Central Plains was divided into two and Gao Huan and Yuwentai were facing each other, the Turks in their heyday did not dare to completely tear their faces with them...... The strength of the Central Plains Dynasty made every grassland Tianjiao tremble.
Desperate to prove his strength, he showed a zero-tolerance attitude towards the northward offensive of the Qi army. He asked the Nayan and the big and small khans of the Turkic tribes to abandon their illusions and be ready to turn against the Northern Qi at any time, and even took hundreds of thousands of wolves to ride south, wanting to find the bad luck of the son of the Gao family.
And Yang Yan's fierceness in battle, every time it stabbed the Turk's body and nerves, and when the real war was about to begin, he could faintly feel that the complete face of something was gradually unfolding in front of his eyes. It was like when he was 14 years old and out hunting, and he was targeted by a hungry bear, which made his nerves tense and reminded him that he was facing a life-or-death situation.
As a good hunter, he knew exactly what his prey was tracking, but as a warrior, it was a bad feeling that he didn't know who was behind him waiting to strike the fatal blow.
So when he clearly knew the plan of the Qi people, he immediately gave up the fat in front of him and turned around desperately to pounce...... Thinking that he had mobilized all the main forces of the Eastern Turks to the south in this vacancy, he felt a chill in his heart after taking the picture, if he really bit this bait, he couldn't predict what kind of consequences the Turks would encounter.
So he retreated, and turned north with the main force that was still relatively complete, and the baggage cattle and sheep of the Eastern Turkic army were hoarded in the rear, and if the Qi army succeeded successfully, many people would die in the biting cold wind this winter. The Eastern Turkic royal court will no longer exist, and the photo will be immediately pulled down from the throne and torn to pieces by the chiefs of the various ministries!
Suddenly, the wind became stronger, and the stars in the sky dimmed, and countless dark clouds rolled in from the north, and thunder flashed behind the clouds.
The neighing of the war horse became restless, and he refused to step forward again. The soldiers ran around, and then, the sleet like rice beans fell from the top of their heads, and the most feared thing was to encounter this kind of weather, the rain and snow were drenched on the body, and it would only take a moment to get soaked, and then let a cold wind blowing with snow particles blow, and the taste was simply worse than death!
The cold wind and the freezing rain raged all over the sky, gradually becoming a downpour, pouring hundreds of thousands of Turkic warriors who were hurrying away, and many teams did not have time to set up tents, and were drenched by the wind and rain, and while shivering, they shouted and cursed the thief: "What kind of rain is it at this time?" I don't even have a piece of horse manure, and I'm cold, where can I wait to get warm?! ”
In order to run away, the Eastern Turkic army confused the Qi army on the opposite side, and deliberately threw a lot of baggage there, and now not only lacks tents to resist the wind and cold, but also does not even have a pile of hay, which is naturally completely blind at this time.
Some people even picked up a few pieces of cow and horse dung from the ground and started to make a fire, this thing can't be lit at all after being watered, even if it is lit, the fire is also unstoppable, not only can not get warm, but also smoked by this choking smoke...... And the amount was still very small, but it took half an hour, and there was no fire in the camp of the Turkic army, and only tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers who were frozen and blue were huddled together and shivering.
"Is God going to kill me?"
In the pouring rain, he stood in front of the tent and looked up to the sky and sighed, his heart was in turmoil at this time, and he stood in the wind like this, letting the hail and raindrops lap on his face. The Turkic nobles behind him were also silent, they should have gone into their tents to sleep against the sudden snowstorm, but an order from the Great Khan summoned them here urgently.
Compared to the gray and numb faces of those little khans and Na Yan, Chu Luohou's face looked a little better, he looked left and right, and then paced behind his brother, and said softly: "This is not a good sign, after the heavy rain will be heavy snow, and then the weather will be even colder...... I am afraid that our army's plan to return to the army to destroy the Qi army will be destroyed on this rain and snow. ”
"Yes, this big war is messed up, it's all messed up~" Listening to the crisp sound of the hail smashing, the photographer sighed lonely. Chu Luohou knew that he would be half responsible for this defeat, and at this time he couldn't say anything to shirk responsibility, but for the time being, he really couldn't find any other reason to comfort the photo, he paused for a long time before saying:
"At least we've saved so many young people that we haven't let them all fold on the road...... Besides, this rain and snow are not all bad, we are sad, the Qi army will only be more sad than us, is it possible that these Nanban will be more resistant to hard fighting than those of us who grew up in the bitter cold land? At the very least, we can guarantee that Yang Yan will not catch up......"
Hearing him say this, the picture of the picture sighed again, and his expression was a little more depressed than before. Chu Luo Hou looked at the attachment on the side for no reason, and only heard this burly and simple Turkic man say: "Chu Luo Hou doesn't know, the Great Khan is worried about this matter, according to our horse scout, behind us, there are several scouts of the Qi army following the trail to bite over. ”
"Qi people don't want to die?"
Chu Luo Hou was stunned.
Chasing and killing thousands of miles on a snowy day, is this something done by people?
"Now you know how determined the Qi people are to destroy us, right? Do you still think that this return trip will be smooth sailing? The expression of the picture was like a dead mother, "The Qi people came over so quickly, which means that our calculations have been seen through by them, believe it or not, as long as I dare to stop, they will dare to bite over regardless of casualties, with our current situation, once the fight starts, it is not certain who will fall first!" ”
Indeed, the current situation of the Turks is not optimistic, today's freezing rain, at least a few hundred people will freeze to death, the number of frostbite is not counted, this is only the current estimate, if this rain and snow finally turn into a heavy snow for several days in a row, this number will be increased by a hundred times! The army does not have enough cold supplies, and the severe cold alone is enough to reduce the fighting power of the Turks, and if it is not replenished as soon as possible, it will die sooner or later!
Chu Luohou frowned and pondered: "We have to find a solution as soon as possible......
"I've found a way, I've investigated, there are many tribes around here, when Yang Yan came out of the block, he drove many tribes next to the border to the north, in case of heavy snow, they will stay here all winter, they can't go, we can forcibly levy supplies from them, and they will be scavenged down, and it is estimated that it is enough."
Everyone gasped at the decision.
Turning around, the thunder light shone at this moment, pulling his shadow into a hideous one, like a wolf king, lonely and fierce: "I know that doing this may mean extinction for them, but there is no way to do it." The Qi people had swept across the west half a month earlier, and in just two to three days, they would be able to gather enough strength to complete the encirclement...... There is not much time left for us, if we want not to be bitten by them and annihilate here, we must be ready to fight a tough battle, we need enough food, enough supplies. As for whether we can win or not, don't think about this, what we have to think about now is how to keep the Turks! ”
