Neither Sir Jiangliu nor Wangasong and others thought about overthrowing the rule of Kipchak Khan, nor did they think about things like conspiracy to rebel. Their purpose was simple, because they felt that Kipchak Khan was wrong.
, deviated from the path of taking control of the Central Plains and fulfilling the long-cherished wish of their ancestors that had never been realized. As the elders and tribesmen of Kipchak Khan, they had the obligation to bring him back.
Although they all have their own tribes and armies, they deeply understand how powerful the three words Kipchak Khan are. He is the god of the Rouran tribe and the well-deserved wolf king on the prairie. Even if there is no one around him
One soldier at a time, but as soon as his nine-tailed flag is raised, countless Rouran athletes will rush towards him crazily and dominate the world under his whip. Moreover, although the Rouran tribe has many talents,
But even Syr Jiangliu himself and the famous generals Nanjingchi, Zhemu and Dutuduo were still unable to compare with Kipchak Khan in terms of military talent and great wisdom. Therefore, they still respected
Their own kings, but they also have their own ideals.
Entering the Central Plains has been the long-cherished wish of the ancestors of the nomadic people for thousands of years. The most outstanding heroes on the grasslands outside the Great Wall are often not the kings who dominate the world outside the Great Wall, but those who personally lead the troops into China.
Overlord. They may have been defeated and died, but their reputation still lingers on the prairie, still inspiring generations of prairie athletes to work hard. When I think that I and others will have the opportunity to be famous throughout the ages together with these predecessors and heroes, Xir
Jiang Liu and others were so excited that it was hard to describe.
One hundred thousand troops set off, and after evacuating all the strength of the tribes in the southeast of Rouran, one hundred thousand Rouran athletes came to the Jiayuguan Pass in a dark mass. Perhaps, they were just simple herdsmen a day ago, but now when they picked up
With their weapons on horseback, they are worthy warriors, a pack of wolves that dominate the prairie.
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of elites behind him, a flash of pride flashed in Xi'er Jiangliu's eyes. These are the undefeated elites of Rouran who have been victorious in every battle. They are the backbone of Rouran and the capital that enables Rouran to dominate the world. He believes
, with the following of these sons and daughters, their footsteps will surely be able to fulfill the unattainable dreams of countless forefathers.
Wanggasong also twitched his long beard with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Xir, do you think our son-in-law compares with the Hetao cavalry?"
Syr Jiangliu laughed loudly and said: "The Hetao cavalry are indeed brave, but that is for those bumpkins from the Three Northeastern Kingdoms and the Holy Sect of Paradise, and our soldiers in Rouran all grew up on horses. How can they be so skilled with bows and horses?
Are they comparable? If it weren't for the existence of this great pass, I would have conquered the Hetao with only one hundred thousand cavalry."
Wanggasong smiled and said: "Sil, you are really old and strong. I am not like you anymore. I just ran for a long time and I feel some discomfort in my waist. When I get old, this era will no longer belong to us."
Having said this, Wanggasong couldn't help but let out a long sigh. There was a hint of joking in Xi'er Jiangliu's eyes. He was an old man in his seventies, but he didn't even think of himself and wanted to compete with him. But the old man's body was indeed
Yes, even at an advanced age, he can still leap on a horse and wield a sword.
Waving his riding crop, Sir Jiangliu changed the topic and said: "Elder, please see if we can attack at will. Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be a war between the Hetao and us."
Wanggasong nodded and said: "You are right. Dong Gude, lead your cavalry up here to show the Hetao soldiers how powerful our Rouran soldiers are."
One of the cavalrymen behind him, Commander Wan, quickly took the order and left. After a while, a group of cavalry rushed out amidst the neighing of thousands of horses.
Syrjiangliu casually looked at the group of cavalry in front of him. Compared with the Hetao cavalry he saw when he went to Dingzhou to attend the Yinling Wedding, they were more energetic and braver. Although Syrjiangliu did not
I don't think they can capture the city gate of Jiayuguan, but they can at least cause huge damage to the defenders on the city wall.
The reason why Syrjiangliu went to attend the wedding was to inspect the military strength of the Hetao on the spot, and to familiarize himself with the terrain along the way from Jiayuguan to the Hetao. However, the Hetao was undergoing military reorganization at that time, and hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Dingzhou.
Countless troops left behind in the interior also went to Dingzhou. Therefore, except for the Yumen Pass and Jiayuguan war zones, the rest of the army was somewhat confused. Because of this, the Syr River clearly had some contempt for the Hetao. And his contempt brought
The result was to underestimate the enemy, and the Spring Sword Award quickly made this famous Rouran general pay the price.
The highest point of the city wall of Jiayuguan is ten feet high, the lowest point is at least six feet, and the west gate is even higher than eight feet. However, the elite Rouran cavalry is indeed well-deserved. From such a high height, the arrows they shoot up are still very powerful.
The defenders on the city wall were not to be outdone and fired back at the Rouran cavalry. Suddenly, arrows rained like rain in front of Jiayuguan.
As the most complete defensive fortress in the whole of China, Jiayuguan's defensive power is naturally extremely powerful. On the front of the entire city wall, there are countless shooting holes. Relying on these holes, the defending soldiers can easily control the crossbows and arrows in their hands.
Crossbows and other weapons were used to shoot down the attacking enemy troops under the city wall. However, this was not all the means of the Spring Sword Rewards.
Donggude's round of offensive had just ended, and the cavalry in front was preparing to return. The three city gates of Jiayuguan suddenly opened. Before the Rouran cavalry could react, the sturdy Hetao cavalry had already surged out from the city gate. Although it was only
There were only 10,000 cavalry, but the Hetao cavalry, whose horses were like wandering dragons and like killing gods, was so majestic that it immediately completely frightened Donggude's 10,000 cavalry.
"Kill!" Long Zheng, who was in the lead, shouted violently, and the Mo Dao in his hand was drawn out like lightning, instantly cutting off the two Rouran cavalrymen from their horses, and the Hetao cavalry behind him was not to be outdone, and the three groups of people joined forces.
, like a sharp sword, rushed straight into Dong Gude's cavalry formation.
On top of the eight-foot-high Jiayuguan Gate Tower, thunderous drums suddenly sounded, and among the flags waving, the stream of the Syr River saw only a man covered in golden armor dancing the drumsticks, as if he was beating the drums with all his strength.
On a huge cowhide war drum, flags were fluttering, as if it were an invincible god, emitting dazzling light.
"Kill!" Long Zheng shouted again. Although the Spring Sword Award on the city tower could not provide him with any real help, it was enough for him to personally beat the drums and cheer for his ten thousand cavalry. Now, all he needs to do is
Look at the performance of these ten thousand soldiers.
Long Zheng was at the top of the ten thousand cavalry. He took the lead and charged into the forest of spears of the Rouran cavalry. The long-handled Mo Dao, which was one foot and two feet long, was like a bamboo pole in his hand, as if there was no trace of anything.
All the Rouran cavalrymen who came within one foot of him were cut off their horses without exception. In front of him, the brave Rouran cavalrymen no longer seemed to be elite.
Wielding the Mo Dao, Long Zheng only thought about what God had said to him when he bestowed the sword on him: May you protect the mountains and rivers with this blade!
Behind Long Zheng was the flag officer holding the Iron-Blooded Mountain and River War Flag of Hetao high, and then countless Hetao warriors. They followed his back and continued to charge towards the Rouran Cavalry. Countless Rouran Cavalry
He died in their unparalleled charge and was trampled to pieces by countless horse hooves.
Whether it was Dong Gude who was commanding the team, or Syer Jiangliu and others who had a good chance of winning behind them, they were all stunned. No one thought that Hetao could explode with such power with only 10,000 cavalry. And one of his own
Thousands of cavalrymen couldn't even stop the opponent's charge!
Long Zheng, who was charging, suddenly felt that the pressure in front of him was relieved. It turned out that he had penetrated Dong Gude's cavalry camp, and not far ahead was Rouran's main formation.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Countless Hetao cavalry roared in unison and charged into Rouran's formation without any hesitation.
"Shuzi is arrogant!" Sir Jiangliu was furious. He had been in the army for more than thirty years and had never experienced such an encounter. He casually asked people to protect the Makassong around him, and he personally raised a eight-foot-long spear to point it at him.
The surging Hetao cavalry rushed forward.
"Cang!" The first confrontation between the long-handled Mo Dao and the Zhangba Spear was indifferent. Long Zheng only felt his arms go numb, but he had no time to think too much. The horse's head turned ninety degrees and faced He He.
Rouran's formation fought in a parallel direction. The cavalry behind them also followed closely, and they didn't even show any signs of sluggishness.
"What a skill!" After Syrjiangliu swayed, he looked at the Hetao cavalry in front of him and couldn't help but admired. At the same time, tens of thousands of cavalry were already under the command of Wanggasong, preparing to surround the Hetao cavalry.
However, Wanggasong's plan was still in vain. If he really allowed his encirclement to be completed, even if Long Zheng's cavalry could break out, they might not be able to escape. But the Hetao cavalry did not let the other side do what they wished.
The sound of the drums on the tower changed and the flags were fluttering. Dragon Zheng suddenly let out a long roar, and the flag officer behind him waved his flag. The 10,000 cavalry turned around again and counterattacked towards Jiayuguan. The Rouran cavalry behind them were caught off guard and suddenly
They broke out a huge gap.
The city gate opened at the right time, and ten thousand cavalry entered the city gate in a hurry. Long Zheng, the leader, waited until the last cavalry retreated into the city gate, and then he ducked in. The Rouran cavalry naturally refused to give up, but they had just caught up.
At a distance of eighty meters in front of the city tower, all the medium and long-range attack weapons on the city tower were activated, and arrows rained down suddenly, taking the opportunity to kill the opponent without any armor.
In this battle, Longzheng's 10,000 cavalry lost less than 500, but the number of Rouran cavalry killed and wounded was at least 4,000. It is not that the Rouran cavalry is not strong enough in combat, but that the Hetao cavalry was unexpected, and their morale was high and they cooperated in an orderly manner. If not,
, with 10,000 cavalry charging into the midst of 100,000 Rouran cavalry, there will definitely be no bones left.
Under the city tower, Xi'er Jiangliu and Wanggasong looked at Dong Gude, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and the defeated 10,000 soldiers. There was a burst of anger in their eyes, but after being angry, they had to re-calculate the fate of the Hetao soldiers.
Come to fight.
Wanggasong looked at the flow of the Syr River and said with a wry smile: "Sir, what should we do now? Do we really have to resist?"
Xi'er Jiangliu also had a wry smile on his face: "It's difficult. With our current strength, we simply can't take Jiayuguan. We have no plans to start a full-scale war with the opponent. If we continue to fight like this, it will only be a waste of troops. Elder, withdraw your troops.
.”
Wanggasong thought for a while and finally nodded: "After this battle, the Great Khan can no longer maintain a situation of no war and no peace with Hetao. Our goal has been achieved."
At this moment, a soldier came to report: "Two elders, General Chu'erdutun led 20,000 cavalry, and came to meet him on the order of the Great Khan. Elder Tanda led 30,000 soldiers, and was already heading here.
On the way, it will probably take half a day to reach the battlefield."
Sir Jiangliu and Wanggasong looked at each other and suddenly laughed heartily. There were not many reinforcements from Chuerdutun and Tanda, but since they came to assist under the orders of Kipchak Khan, it was obvious that they were a large number of reinforcements.
Khan had already forgiven himself for sending troops without authorization. But after thinking about it, a scolding was still inevitable. But Khan had always been a man who raised the board high and lowered it lightly, so nothing should happen to him.
However, the beacon fire at Jiayuguan was destined to never dissipate. In mid-July, the Rouran army had just retreated, and Sashan and the Western Region Allied Forces had already advanced to the city.
Sashan's lineup this time was unprecedentedly powerful. Although it had only 200,000 troops, it had 70,000 cavalry, including 20,000 elite camel soldiers. Agathus was the commander of the expedition, and the general leading the army was Sibul.
Starting from Gaza, the high priest Lenye is the military advisor, and the seven rising stars of Sashan's military, except for Kedorah and Hebejiali who have died in the battle, and Nanahada who is stationed in the Qatar desert in the southeast of the country, the remaining four are
For example, Prince Huobimu, the royal generals Qidamengdu, Shandu, Didadu all arrived on the battlefield. In addition, there are many famous Hanqingjiamo, Dumoer and Baidanlun in Sashan country.
Generals and even Prince Demodiga, the younger brother of King Agathius of Sashan, also accompanied him.
There are four brothers in Agathius, Demodiga is the second, and the third is Tipu, a famous general in the Sashan army who is both wise and brave. Although he has a brilliant record, he is arrogant, cruel, murderous and arrogant.
Although Agathus has always liked this brother, he has never been able to be reused. The youngest Zhu Chixiexin heard that he died in infancy, so now there are only three brothers. Agathus has always taken good care of his brothers. If not
In this way, Demodiga suffered a disastrous defeat at Jiayuguan that day, so he would not be punished lightly. But I don’t know what medicine Demodiga took wrong this time, and he actually volunteered to go to Jiayuguan. Agathus had no choice but to let him
Accompanying him. Of course, it is inevitable to secretly tell Sibu and Gaza to treat him differently.
Compared with the Sashan Dynasty, the 80,000 coalition forces of the Western Regions countries are obviously much more uneven. However, the lineup of the Western Regions Coalition Army this time is also quite strong. At least, the only 18 remaining countries of the 36 Western Regions, except Loulan Six
country, and the other twelve countries all arrived. I don’t know if it was to show their sincerity to Agathus, but all the heads of the twelve countries actually arrived.
