Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 223 The Final Battle of Kushan
Kerxin's request for help did not go as smoothly as he had imagined. After arriving in Kushan, he conveyed the order to Fuyun Khan to let them return to Fucheng City, but who knew that the eldest son Murong Shun and the coach Murong Kan refused to transfer troops.

They always believed that the line between Kushan and Mantou Mountain was the main force of the Tang army, and that it was just a small group of troops fleeing to Fucheng City.

Moreover, the city wall of Fucheng is high and deep, and there is sufficient food, grass and military equipment. It will not be a problem to defend for a month or two. My father, Khan, has never experienced any wind and rain in his life, so why is his courage getting smaller and smaller now that he is getting older?

No matter how much Kerxin begged for help, the brothers always insisted on their own ideas, and blocked them back on the grounds that they would not accept the name of the king abroad.

Kersin, who had nowhere to go, had to go to the two big camps, Mantou Mountain and Niuxindui, but fortunately, the emperor paid off, the coaches of the two big camps ordered to withdraw troops, and the big camps were only symbolic. Leave 3000 people as scapegoats to buy them more time.

The reason why they accepted Fu Yun's order so happily was not that they believed that the main force of the Tang army had arrived in Fucheng City, but that they really didn't want to use their tribe to fill this bottomless pit. If you don't hurry, you will go down the slope.

Korsin, who was full of joy after receiving the reinforcements, urged the two to speed up the march, while dreaming of becoming a hero to save the Tuyuhun Khanate, but what he never imagined was that it was his remonstrance that ruined Tuyuhun alive The 300-year-old country of the Khanate.

On the second day after they withdrew from the camp, the two barriers on the north line of Kushan were breached by Duan Zhixuan and Li Daliang, and then the two Tang troops went south and surrounded the defenders on Kushan with Li Jing. The two brothers vowed to kill the entire families of the three famous kings when they returned home.

But scolding can be blamed, things still have to be done, and then the troops were asked to prepare more rolling stones and wood, and also increased archers, and the patrol force in the camp was also strengthened.

The guards outside the main tent where they lived have also been strengthened. Hundreds of guard soldiers are patrolling outside day and night, and the same is true outside the tents of the other five famous kings.And sent a lot of scouts to wander around ten miles in front of the camp, and report immediately if they find signs of an attack from the Tang army.

But Tang Jun who surrounded them for a few days still didn't make any movement, and the two brothers became a little impatient, thinking that Tang Jun might still be resting, so they didn't take the opportunity to launch an attack. Let's go.

Anyway, the stalemate has lasted for such a long time. Tang Jun's food and grass are almost consumed. Let's raise our spirits first, and then rush up and bite off a piece of meat from Li Jing when you retreat, so that the old guy can know what a wolf in the Northwest is. .

Listening to the guards who came back to patrol outside the tent, Murong Shun's heart was full of peace, and he fell into a deep sleep after fighting several times in bed one night.

But when Murong Shun was sitting and beating Tang Jun in his dream, and his father was also ashamed and embarrassed to invite him to the sweat seat, he heard the screams of killing outside the tent, followed by continuous screams , Shouting, and chaotic footsteps.

Immediately, guards rushed in and reported in a panicked voice that the camp was attacked by the Tang army, and that the enemy had set fire to the camp, and the fire was spreading.A large number of enemy cavalry were attacking from behind, making Murong Shun run away quickly.

After hearing these words, Murong Shun, who had been sleepy, woke up in an instant, and asked Murong Kan repeatedly why he didn't organize a counterattack.He also kicked away the terrified and crying women who were wrapped around him, and with the help of the guards, he got dressed and rushed out of the tent.

Outside the main tent, Murong Kan was directing the nearby soldiers to resist.Seeing the eldest brother rushing out, he told him in an extremely frightened voice that there was nothing he could do, and told him to run quickly, and he would command from the rear.

Looking at the raging fire in the camp, the scattered soldiers fleeing in all directions, and the Tang army charging this way, Murong Shun knew that the general situation was over, and the [-] warriors were inexplicably finished like this.

At this time, Murong Shun couldn't care about anything else, got on his horse, and under the cover of a famous king and nearly two thousand guards, he fled from the west of the few Tang troops towards Qinghai Lake.And let the guards around him continue to divide their troops to block the pursuing Tang Jun.No matter what, I have to escape, and now I can only go to Shudun City
The Tang army infantry under Li Jing's troops attacked from the front and from both sides. After sacrificing nearly [-] soldiers and annihilating most of the Tuyuhun people on the two wings, they also began to charge towards the camp.

More soldiers of the Tang army attacked from the hillside, and the cavalry of the Tang army rushed up from the side quickly, surpassing the infantry who were still fighting the Tuyuhun people and entered the camp first.

The Turkic cavalry of Qibi and Ashi were the first to rush into the camp. Qibi Heli and Ashi Nasheer rushed to the front, brandishing the horizontal knife in their hands, and kept killing those around them. Tuyuhun people.The cavalry of the Jiertang army also began to rush in, stabbing the Tuyuhun people in the camp with their horizontal knives or spears.

Many soldiers of the Tang army saw a Tuyuhun cavalry of more than a thousand, guarding a few people from the right side of the camp, fleeing desperately to the southwest at an extremely fast speed, and Su Dingfang's troops were also chasing after them.

But this group of people was extremely fierce. Most of the Tang army who rushed up from below and tried to intercept them were killed by them. The arrows shot by the soldiers of the Tang army only hit the Tuyuhun people who were covering behind and on the side. Some people continued to divide their troops to intercept the pursuing Tang army.

However, the horses these people were riding were extremely strong Qinghai Congs. Even though Su Dingfang tried his best to chase after them, they were constantly pulled down and completely disappeared from their sight.

As most of the Tang army under Li Daozong rushed into the camp, the Battle of Kushan was coming to an end. The soldiers of the Tang army running back and forth in the camp kept yelling loudly in their poor Xianbei language to let the opponent put down their weapons Surrender or something like that.

In the end, the coach Murong Kan was captured alive by Li Boyao, and the Tuyuhun people who were resisting also surrendered on their knees and fell to the ground. It is true that the army was defeated like a mountain.

It was already bright and the sun was up.Many tents in the camp were still burning, and the entire camp was filled with the smell of blood and burnt fire.

The soldiers of the Tang army rushing around in the camp also slowed down their running pace. The soldiers and horses were already panting with exhaustion.

But more soldiers of the Tang army still maintained their high fighting spirit. The detachment continued to search for the Tuyuhun people, and some people searched to the edge and up the hill, vowing to destroy those remnant enemies who were hiding and still wanting to resist.

Li Jing stood on a slightly higher hillside in the middle of the camp, observing the situation on the battlefield, surrounded by a group of personal guards
"General, our army has won a complete victory. Except for Murong Shun, the prince of Tuyuhun, and a few who fled, 3 enemies were captured, and the rest were beheaded." Li Daozong, covered in blood, jumped off his horse and stated results.
