Volume 6 Suddenly Chapter 72 The dawn here is quiet(1/2)
The main cavalry of the Royal Court was defeated, and many tribes no longer followed his footsteps and dispersed in all directions on the grassland. They would surely become prisoners of the Tang Army's cavalry, and might even be taken advantage of by those dirty horse thieves.
This scares him.
One moment, he immediately became the king of the entire world, and the next moment, he was shot through both cheeks by a hidden arrow on the way to the throne. Blood flowed horizontally, and the flow was ugly. No matter who it was, it was difficult to accept this fact.
His confidence and ambition were crushed together, too much to be shattered.
This scares him.
What frightened him the most was that when he saw tens of thousands of wild horses coming in the morning glow, and when he saw those magical things happening before his eyes, he realized that his high-spirited and ambitious plans to ride horses in the Central Plains over the years were actually all a scam - this
It's the academy's bureau, it's that person's bureau.
A few years ago, the Xiling Temple had peace talks with the Tang State, and the Golden Tent Royal Court obtained the greatest benefit from it. Whether it was the cession to the Wan Yuan or the handing over of war horses, it was like putting a leather rope around the neck of the Tang State——
Now it seems that this was a move by the Tang State to show weakness and induce the royal court to take the risk of moving the family south.
"Ning Que, Ning Que, Ning Que..."
He recited the name silently, many times, and it was deep in his bones.
He didn't understand - the Academy's game was actually very risky. If there was a slight problem, the prairie cavalry could whip south and sweep across the Central Plains. So why did the Academy do this?
Apart from letting the Golden Horde exterminate the entire clan, what other purpose was worthy of the Tang State taking such a risk?
When did the academy become so cold-blooded?
What is the deep hatred between Mr. Thirteen named Ning Que and himself?
Shanyu thought for a long time and gradually became calmer.
He has great talent and great strategy. Although he was defeated by the Tang people outside Guhe and even saw the real picture of the abyss of destruction, he is still a great man. How can he be willing to do so?
He became calm again and decided to take an adventure.
Since the people of the Tang Dynasty could set up traps, they could endure it for three years, and they could take extraordinary risks and achieve unparalleled achievements.
Why can't he take risks, why can't he succeed?
He believed that Changshengtian had not abandoned him.
It didn't take long for the respected old man in the clan, Ata, General Loeb, and the high priest as the representative of the national division, all came to his room and saw Shan Yu's silent back facing the sand table.
Shan Yu pointed to an inconspicuous small town on the sand table and said calmly: "I know that many people in the Tang Dynasty and the tribe thought that this war was over. The battle that day was the decisive battle. But I don't think so. This is where we stand.
The Tucheng is also the place I chose for the decisive battle."
No one understood what he meant. Wang Ting was far from being Tang's opponent. Even if he wanted to fight to the death, how could the other party give him a chance? In other words, where did Wang Ting have the qualifications?
"The purpose of the Tang people...or the academy is to destroy the tribe. They want to kill us all. Our current purpose is to escape from the pursuit of the Tang people and return to our hometown."
"We have no food and grass."
"There are some stored in Qicheng Village, and I have sent Su Yong to transfer them."
"The food and grass are not enough to support our return."
"Hundreds of thousands of people are naturally not enough, but if only 30,000 people go, it will still be enough."
"The Tang people will always follow us."
"So we need a victory, a decisive victory that will cause the Tang people to become chaotic. Only in that case can the last flame of the tribe be saved."
Chanyu looked at the flat wilderness on the sand table and the seven echoing fortresses above. After a moment of silence, he said: "Xu Chi wanted to kill us all, so he could only gather his troops and push northward in a line. The formation could not
It is too thick. If ten thousand Duo'er cavalry break through the central line and fight to Beida camp, or even further south... Do you think the Tang Dynasty will not be in turmoil? How will the academy react? "
General Loeb said: "The main force of the Tang army will arrive tomorrow morning. It is impossible for Xu Chi to make such a mistake."
"Of course the most famous general in the world would not make such a mistake, but that was in the past... just like I would not make the mistake of rushing forward with all my troops before."
Shan Yu shook his head and said: "I didn't see through the trap set by the academy. Xu Chi had to follow the academy's path, because the academy wanted all of us to die, so he could only do it this way."
There was silence in the room, and everyone felt that something was wrong: Shanyu's decision was not a risk, but a crazy gamble - no, not even gambling - it was more like turning around and shouting angrily and helplessly before the abyss of despair, even if Xu Chi
If the Tang army's formation was really arranged into the most easily penetrated line, even if Duo'erqi could really break through to the south, it would not be able to change the entire situation.
Ah Da's eyes brightened, and he completely understood what Shan Yu meant. Shan Yu didn't want to win at all. He just wanted to take away more than 20,000 fine riders. Losing this war would not allow Tang to get what he wanted. He could rest and recuperate.
, after Daomen stabilizes the south, it may be able to win the entire world again.
After a moment of silence, Loeb said, "I'll go."
No one competed with him, because this was not a battle achievement or a death in the royal court, but a cold practical consideration. Neither Ata nor the priests were generals who could command a large number of cavalry.
The high priest said: "The National Preceptor will work with us to escort the Shanyu back to his hometown."
Ada didn't say anything. He knew the role he was going to play. When Duo'erqi broke through the Tang army's defense line and entered the southern grasslands or even near the Beida camp to burn, kill and loot, the Tang army would use the fastest speed to
Speed to chase the royal court where Shan Yu is - the fastest speed requires the shortest distance, and the shortest distance is a straight line. This seems to be the truth spread by the academy.
Wang Ting wanted to return north from Weicheng, so the Tang people wanted to pursue him from Weicheng.
What he has to do is to guard the only street in Weicheng.
Ah Da bowed to Shan Yu, turned around and left, walked to the street, pushed open a dusty old shop, sat down at the table, and never left again.
The rest of the people left the room one after another and began to prepare to escape and go south.
After the state master knew Shan Yu's plan, he naturally had to make corresponding arrangements.
After leaving the house, Chanyu turned to the window and looked at the bright moon in the night sky. He seemed to have gained some kind of power from the warm and loving light.
After the massacre in Weicheng, most of the houses were uninhabitable, and the grassland people were accustomed to living in tents outside the city. The place where he lives today is a small courtyard in a relatively secluded place.
He didn't know who this small courtyard once belonged to, or who once belonged to this Weicheng, so he didn't know why that person had to kill him - if he knew that Changshengtian had lived here for many years
.Or his ideas will be more different.
…
…
The battle that took place on the grassland outside Guhe was the most spectacular and brutal cavalry war in the entire millennium since the Tang Dynasty defeated the Huangren.
The number of cavalry of the Golden Horde Royal Court participating in this war exceeded the number of cavalry of the Tang Army. Moreover, the cavalry of the Tang Army rarely received cavalry training in these years. So it stands to reason that the Royal Court had the advantage, but the Tang Army gained
The final victory was achieved, especially before the two ambushes of the Zhenbei Army appeared. The cavalry of the Pioneer Camp blocked the incoming Wang Ting Cavalry. That was because the Tang Army had more breath than the Wang Ting Cavalry.
It was a fierce spirit - the Tang Army had this spirit, and so did the wild horses beneath them. In the spring wind of the grassland, the Tang Army wielded their swords and silently hacked to death one enemy after another. Those wild horses stepped on wild flowers and grass.
They galloped wildly, imitating the Tang army, and bullied the grassland horses in the royal court to great embarrassment.
The Battle of Guhe is destined to remain on the magnificent historical picture. In hindsight, this cavalry war may not be regarded as the decisive battle in the world, but it is definitely the most important war.
After winning this war, even if the Golden Horde Royal Court still has the strength to fight again, it will not be able to pose any threat to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. To put it more intuitively, even if the Golden Horde Royal Court can exert its full power after that day
Even with his own strength, there was no way for the Tang Kingdom to perish.
For the entire human world, more importantly, the Tang State has solved the serious troubles that have plagued the north for many years. Now the monarchs and ministers in Chang'an City can devote all their energy and resources to the south. If they can settle the situation before the Taoist sect resolves its internal disputes,
, Momoyama will face unimaginable pressure.
A few days later, Situ Yilan led the cavalry from the Pioneer Battalion to the front line of Qichengzhai. At this time, she and all the Tang troops had confirmed their victory, but they wanted to achieve a greater victory.
During this period, the soldiers of the Beida Camp and a certain unit of the Western Expeditionary Army that was quietly transferred here from Congling half a year ago, fought hard to sacrifice themselves, biting the Golden Court Cavalry like wolves, fiercely,
Even though they were bleeding all over, they refused to let go. The Wangting cavalry, which was always known for its flexibility, was slowed down in its retreat to the north. They entered the front line of Qichengzhai yesterday and were overtaken by the main force of the Tang army.
Under such circumstances, the prairie cavalry who had retreated to Qicheng Walled City did not dare to leave the walled city and march towards the grassland rashly, because that would be tantamount to handing over their backs to those terrible Tang people - even those who camped in Weicheng
Duo'erqi didn't dare to do this - it would definitely mean destruction.
More than 100,000 remaining prairie cavalry formed camps with the help of Qichengzhai, trying to temporarily stabilize the situation. After forming a confrontation, they found time to retreat, escape from the pursuit of the Tang army, and fled deep into the grassland.
However, those tribes who still hold on to a sense of luck have no idea that Shan Yu has made a cold-blooded and only correct decision. He will use these tribal cavalry to attract the main force of the Tang army, try to thin the Tang army's formation, and then send out a group of troops.
Thousands of elite Duo'er riders went south again beyond everyone's expectations!
These arrangements will kill more than 100,000 prairie cavalry. If all goes well, 20,000 Duoerqi and Shanyu and other big figures can successfully escape back to the depths of the prairie.
This kind of exchange is cruel and seems to be a disadvantage, but it must be done. Now that the Tang army has war horses, it is no longer so easy for the Wangting cavalry to withdraw to the grassland, especially now that the Tang army has obviously gone crazy and is worse than the grassland.
Humans are more like a pack of terrifying wolves. If the Tang army is allowed to concentrate on pursuit, the Wang Ting cavalry will not dare to turn back to intercept them, for fear that the entire army will be destroyed if they cannot go beyond 300 miles!
While Shan Yu was making final preparations, the Tang army surrounded Qichengzhai - it is not accurate to say that it was surrounded, because the grassland in the north seemed vast and could be entered at any time - that was the way to survive, which was left by the Tang army to the Wangting cavalry.
The only way to survive is also the real way to death.
The main cavalry force of the Zhenbei Army was in a confrontation with the cavalry of various tribes in Qicheng Village, but this situation did not last longer. Without any warning, the battle between the two sides started violently again, and it seemed like an endless fight.
, constantly harvesting the lives of soldiers on both sides, and fighting broke out everywhere.
Three days later, the king's flag was fluttering, smoke filled the sky, and the Tang army's military tent also came to the south of Weicheng.
Xu Chi, the great general of the Tang Dynasty, finally arrived at the front line. He was not late. As long as he could catch up with the end of the war and see the Golden Horde exterminate the clan, he would not be late.
What is surprising is that neither Xu Chi nor the Chanyu in Weicheng issued any direct orders for this bloody battle across hundreds of miles of fronts in the north of the mainland. They just watched in silence as the cavalry continued to charge.
He kept dying, and then replenished his troops towards the remaining cities in Kaiping.
This war is originally a national war. It cannot be fought in one day. Before it is finished, there is no way to have a day to breathe. Only if you die can I live. This is the true meaning.
So Xu Chi didn't care, and Shan Yu didn't care either. They just put each other's sons on the battlefield and let them kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy. Especially for the Tang army, they had already won the victory, so they had to kill as many as possible.
To be continued...
