Qin Xiao sighed in his heart, and finally understood why the Xile people can continue to live in Modong to this day.
Xile and Datang have the same qualities in their bones. Perhaps when there are no foreign enemies, their own people will attack each other in order to fight for power, but when invaded by foreign invaders, they can also unite to protect their homeland.
This is a quality that runs in the blood, but it is not a quality that all nations possess.
Qin Xiao only hoped that the Xile people and the Tang Dynasty would never become enemies. Once a war broke out between these two peoples, they would be devastated.
Qin Xiao sighed inwardly, but the He Gu people were all excited.
He Gu and Bu Liuda were originally allies, but the alliance between the two parties was to deal with the Zhenyu people. No one could guarantee that Bu Liuda would come to help when the Tusun army pressed on, and Bu Liuda was far away in the Black Forest.
Once we get the news and discuss sending troops, the war will probably be over.
But the Buliuda people finally arrived and sent out their most elite undead army.
Strong reinforcements arrived, but although Ke Dun was happy, he was also wary.
After the night attack of Chatun, it was only the fourth day today. The fastest horses were dispatched from Tieshan, traveling day and night, without resting in the middle, to reach the Buliuda Khan tent in the Black Forest. It would take at least two days.
.
After Bu Liuda received the news, he would definitely convene the leaders of each account to discuss and then send troops to support. It would be impossible to arrive in just four days.
Ke Dun was extremely shrewd and knew that there must be Bu Liuda's eyes and ears in Hegu Khan's tent. After being attacked, someone must have spread the news immediately. After Bu Liuda received the news, he made a prompt decision and quickly sent out troops. This immortal army
The army also had to travel non-stop day and night to be able to arrive at this time.
In other words, Buliuda has been sending people to monitor He Gu Khan's account from beginning to end, and has secretly established intelligence transmission.
But Ke Dun was immediately relieved that he would be on the other side of the Black Forest, and He Gu also arranged for his eyes and ears.
The undead army all wore leather armor, wore sabers on their waists, held spears in their hands, carried bows and arrows on their backs, and all wore iron skull masks on their faces. They looked extremely ferocious, like a group of evil ghosts from hell.
Bu Liuda functions in the Black Forest, which has a large amount of wood. Just like the He Gu people are good at forging He Gu knives, the Bu Liuda people's technology in making bows and arrows is also the best in the world. Every warrior in the undead army is an absolutely qualified archer.
.
Zhenyu's cavalry, He Gu's swordsmen, and Bu Liuda's archers, the three strongest legions in Modong are now arrayed on the east bank of the Galiang River, facing the menacing Tusun army.
Cheli Khan obviously did not expect that the three Siler tribes, which had been fighting for hundreds of years, would put aside their tribal grievances this time and fight against the enemy together.
The He Gu Army in the middle has all the elites, and even all the young men in the tribe have been mobilized. Naturally, they are a strong backbone, and the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Zhen Yu Department are waiting for them, and their strength is naturally not weak. As for the right wing of the Xile Alliance Army, although there are only
There are six to seven thousand people, but the three thousand undead troops among them are the real tough ones. They have to rush from the right wing to encircle them. Unless the undead army is completely wiped out, it is impossible for Tusun's troops to cross the thunder pool.
Chelihan naturally saw the Zhenyu army arrive in time before. Unexpectedly, he had already seen that the right wing of the Siler coalition was weak, so he and his generals made arrangements to focus on attacking the center, while Zhenyu on the left wing of the coalition
Army, there is no need to rush to break through, just let them fall into a hard battle, holding the Zhenyu Army from being able to reinforce the center.
His fatal move was on the right wing of the coalition forces.
The decisive battle began, with a fierce attack on the right wing of the coalition forces, breaking through the defense line of the coalition forces on the right wing as quickly as possible, and then quickly
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Quickly outflank, and unite with the troops in the middle to destroy He Gu's army. As long as He Gu's army is defeated, the victory of this great battle will be decided.
If both He Gu and Zhen Yu's armies can be defeated at the same time in this battle, it is of course a dream come true. In this way, not only can Tieshan be captured quickly, but Zhen Yu's vitality will be seriously injured, and Tie Han can lead his army eastward.
The army that captures Tieshan can then attack the Zhenyu tribe from both sides with Taiyang Khan's main force. Perhaps two of the three Xile tribes can be annihilated in a short period of time. Once this is achieved, the Bu Liuda tribe will not be enough.
For concern.
He planned well, but Bu Liuda's undead army arrived in time, which made Qilihan instantly understand that his wishful thinking might be ruined.
Although he has more than 50,000 troops under his command, the Sile Alliance Army currently has no less than 40,000 troops. It does not have an absolute advantage in terms of strength. Once this battle breaks out, it is still unclear who will win.
His expression was solemn, but Ke Dun's expression was as calm as ever, and he said loudly: "Qilihan, you have come all the way, if you just want a pair of armor, I can guarantee that I will send someone to give it to you within a month.
Send a pair of excellent armor made of fine iron. Iron Mountain is the sacred mountain of He Gu, and it is also the land left by the ancestors of the Xile people. We are the descendants of Xile, and of course we will not let outsiders climb our sacred mountain.
What you said just now is not wrong. Xile and Tusun are both prairie people who herd horses and sheep. There should not be a river of blood between us. Over the years, there has not been a tragic life-and-death battle between us.
, but if Cheli Khan insists on destroying the peace, the Siler people will never back down."
Although the three Sile troops were lying in front, the strength of Tusun's army was not inferior to that of the Sile coalition. Chelihan still had the confidence and said with a smile: "Of course I want the battle armor, but are you willing to come with me?"
"I'm very touched that Cheli Khan is so persistent." Ke Dun smiled charmingly, raised his hand and pointed the horse whip at the Galang River: "Since we are going to welcome the bride, Cheli Khan will lead your wedding team across the river. I
I’m waiting for you right here.”
Tatabor, the captain who accompanied Cheli Khan, heard the provocation in Ke Dun's tone, and leaned closer and whispered: "Cheli Khan, they have fewer soldiers and horses than us. If you are trapped and kill them directly, you will definitely be able to kill them."
A great victory.”
"I'm just afraid that if we can't cross the river, they will fire thousands of arrows, and there will be heavy casualties." Qilihan said calmly.
Tartabor's lips moved slightly but did not speak.
After all, he is also a battle-hardened general. Although he is rough and brave, he is not without brains.
The ice surface of the Galiang River must have been destroyed. Now it is only a thin layer visible to the naked eye. If the war horses step on it, they will immediately fall into the water. Once the whole army charges, the result will only be that the rear team squeezes the front team, and the people are turned upside down, and the opposite side
The Sile coalition forces were in full formation, and countless archers were ready to attack, clearly intending to kill Tusun's cavalry as soon as they crossed the river.
Although with the strength of Tusun's army, it would not be a problem to finally reach the other side, but there would definitely be heavy casualties before reaching the other side.
In the previous plan, the total mobilization of He Gu's army was only 20,000. In addition, their sweat tent was attacked and their morale was low. Tusun's army attacked like a lion biting an injured hunting dog.
Conquering Hegubu is a piece of cake.
What the Tusun people didn't expect was that in just a few days, the Xile people were able to mobilize quickly, and Zhen Yu and Bu Liuda actually came out and arrived in time to join the battle.
This is completely different from the prior plan.
Although they still have a slight advantage in terms of military strength, no one can tell clearly who will have the last laugh in this battle.
As long as He Gu's army is on the other side, Tusun's army will not hesitate to cross the river even if it pays a heavy price.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But at this moment, the opponent's formation is complete. At this moment, Tusun's army is crossing the river to fight and is attacked. The formation will inevitably be scattered, and the situation will be greatly unfavorable to Tusun's army.
Ke Dun saw Tatabor whispering to Qilihan, smiled coquettishly, and said loudly: "Qilihan, it seems... the warriors under your command do not dare to cross the river?"
"Kedun wants to block us outside the Hegu territory, but within fifty miles of the west bank of the Galiang River, it is still the territory of the Hegu tribe." Qilihan also smiled and said: "The land under our army's feet is your Hegu tribe's territory.
If you dare to let us out of the bone territory, you should be the one to cross the river."
"Yes, the land under your feet is also the territory of the Hegu tribe." Ke Dun said with a smile: "So you are guests now. Prairie people are very warm to guests and will show courtesy to guests. Since you are a guest, you should be allowed to go first.
"
Tatabor was eager to try, holding the knife in his hand, and whispered: "Qilihan, that she-wolf has been provoking. We, the warriors of Durhu, cannot be laughed at. I am willing to lead people to rush over first."
"The situation has changed." Chelihan's expression remained calm and he whispered: "The Siler people are here to fight, we may not be able to win." He glanced at Tatabor and said softly: "You can
Do you know what the consequences will be if you lose the battle?"
Tatabor was stunned, and Cheli Khan sighed softly: "If the battle is really defeated this time, the sweat's hard work for so many years may be ruined. An injured lion will make the hyenas wandering by the side covet him.
The heart will even... tear the lion into pieces."
Tartabor understood instantly.
Today's Duer tribe is certainly the strongest lion on the grassland.
It was precisely because of this that Taiyang Khan dared to send troops to invade Modong.
Qili Khan came with a main army of 30,000 people. In addition, the tribes wanted to show their loyalty and gain benefits in this battle. They came to help with the fake power of the tiger, and then they managed to gather 50,000 to 60,000 people. However, at least half of this army was not
I am really willing to kneel at Tie Han's feet.
Even though Qili Khan directly had 30,000 troops, the actual troops of Durhu were not many, and they were recruited from various ministries.
If this battle fails and Tusun's army suffers heavy losses, then everyone's resentment will be directed towards Tie Han, and Tie Han's rule in Monan will be shaken, his majesty will be wiped out, and even various tribes will start revolts, relying only on Du Erhu
It is impossible for our troops to deal with the rebellion of the entire Monan tribes.
Cheli Khan can become Tie Han's important arm. He is not a fool. He has a far-sighted view and knows that if he wins this battle, Tie Han's prestige will naturally rise to the sky, and his ambition to unify the desert will probably be realized.
But again, once it fails, it is likely to bring disaster to Duer's army.
This was a huge gamble, and it was of course an extremely difficult decision for Chelihan to make whether to cross the river or not.
"I heard that the warriors of Sile are brave and good at fighting. It's really lively that all the warriors from the three tribes of Sile have arrived today." Qilihan laughed and said: "Kedun invited me to cross the river, but I know that once we cross the river, we will definitely be in military positions.
See, the result will be a river of blood." After a pause, he said: "Ke Dun, I have an idea, I wonder if Ke Dun agrees with it?"
Ketun asked: "What do Qilihan think?"
"Since we are all warriors, we must determine the outcome." Qilihan said: "But there is no need for the whole army to fight. I have a good way to determine the outcome with less bloodshed."
