...

After defeating the West Kara Khanate, the Chinese army faced two choices—one was to fight directly with the Iraqi World Allied Forces, and the other was to attack the Ghaznavid Dynasty first.

The Ghaznavid dynasty, also known as the "Ghazni dynasty" and "Ghazni dynasty", was a Central Asian empire in its heyday, occupying most of Iran, Turkmenistan, parts of Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India In the north, it imitated the various systems of the Samanid Dynasty and established a relatively complete centralized bureaucratic system, with the central government vertically managing various places.

but--

This was over 100 years ago.

Because the local officials of the Ghaznavid dynasty held military and political power, posing a threat to the authority of the central government. At the same time, some remote and remote areas were ruled by various vassals, vassal states, and nomadic tribe leaders, which eventually led to the gradual decline of the dynasty—— Decades ago, after the death of Masood III, the Ghaznavid dynasty fell into a battle for the throne. Later, Bahram Shah, one of the princes of Masood III, knelt to the Seljuk Empire in exchange for the Seljuk Empire. The reinforcements of the Erjuk Sultan Sangha eventually became the Sultan, and then Bahram Shah decided to break away from the control of the Seljuks, but was defeated by the Seljuks. dynasty.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Ghaznavid Dynasty declined, its territory is vast, even comparable to the Eastern Kara Khanate, and even larger than the West Kara Khanate. Even the Saier Dynasty is not small. too much.

Of course, the more important thing is that it is weak and can be defeated easily-in this period of Central Asia, there were not too strong countries, otherwise the Ghaznavid Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.

If it is believed that "a bird in the hand is worse than a thousand birds in the forest", then the Ghaznavid Dynasty should be attacked first, rather than a decisive battle with the coalition forces.

But because of the supply problem, the Chinese army brought in a total of more than 30 elites this time—in fact, the 100 million reserve civilian husbands and the personal soldiers of Li Yan’s sons can also fight. In addition, there are tens of thousands attached to Dazhong However, in the eyes of Li Yan, Yue Fei, Liu Kai and others, these troops belonged to the second-line troops and could only move things and fight against the wind.

but--

In the eyes of Li Yan, Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others, the Chinese army has only three 10,000+ soldiers capable of fighting.

And the Iraqi World Alliance has millions.

Therefore, once the Chinese army divides its forces, it may not be able to defeat the Iraqi World Allied Forces.

Therefore, Yue Fei and Liu Kai proposed not to fight the Ghaznavid dynasty first, but to fight directly with the Iraqi World Allied Forces.

The reason for Yue Fei and Liu Qi was that as long as they defeated the Iraqi World Allied Forces in the decisive battle, the 100 million reserve civilian husbands and Li Yan's sons' personal soldiers and subordinates could even fight in the subsequent battles.

In addition, if the millions of coalition forces in the Yi world are not dealt with, they are really a big threat. Therefore, we should concentrate on destroying them first, so that the entire Yi world can be divided by Li Yan .

Several of Li Yan's sons who hadn't won the territory used various channels to persuade Li Yan to fight the Ghaznavid dynasty first, and after the Ghaznavid dynasty was defeated, they would fight a decisive battle with the Iraqi World coalition forces.

Li Yan was really disappointed with his sons who were blinded by profit and short-sighted, and then they all rushed back to the country. Moreover, no one begged for mercy.

Li Yan is not acting on his own will, but to ask them to continue their studies and experience after they go back, and then talk about their becoming kings. In Li Yan's view, just based on their current performance, just because they are so useless now. The way they think, they can't be designated as kings. If they are forced to manage the country, it will definitely harm them, and they may lose their lives.

After Li Yan drove back these sons, no one dared to propose to fight the Ghaznavid dynasty first.

Afterwards, Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others began to make final preparations for the decisive battle.

After more than half a year, Sancar finally gathered more than 70 troops, announced 200 million to the outside world, and then led by Sancar himself, launched a fierce attack on the Chinese army.

Sanjar had already fought in person, and for the sake of morale, Li Yan had to fight in person.

After discussing with Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others, Li Yan led an army of 30 to fight against Sanjar.

The decisive battle between the two sides took place on the Katvan Grassland north of Samarkand (this place is located in the territory of the later Uzbekistan).

Although the enemy army is not as many as 200 million, it has 80 million, which is more than double that of the Chinese army.

But Li Yan was not afraid.

Li Yan, who put on his armor and helmet again after more than ten years, said impassionedly to his soldiers: "Although the fighters are our numbers, the enemy army is composed of troops from many countries, tribes, and ethnic groups. Yes, there was no unified drill in advance, so the command must be ineffective, and the attack must not be rescued. And you all climbed from the mountain of corpses and waded from the sea of ​​​​blood. From owning a mountain to fighting it down In the whole world, there has never been a defeat, and this time will be no exception. My soldiers, follow me, and I will lead you to achieve supreme glory again!"

After a magic blow, Li Yan handed over the command to Yue Fei and Liu Qi.

Yue Fei and Liu Kai divided the troops into three, with Li Yan personally leading the central army, Yue Fei commanding the left army, and Liu Kai commanding the right army.

On the other hand, Sanjar also led the central army by himself, his prime minister led the left army, and Mahmud Khan led the right army.

The situation on the battlefield was that the central army led by Li Yan faced the central army of the coalition army, the left army of the central army faced the right army of the coalition army, and the right army of the central army faced the left army of the coalition army.

The place Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others chose for Li Yan to station was a gentle slope next to a mountain, with a canyon in the middle of the mountain.

Zhang Xian, Yelu Dashi, and Zhe Yanzhi, who helped Li Yan command the Chinese army, made full use of this canyon. They arranged the Chinese army in front of the canyon, and the left and right armies lined up on both sides, fighting with their backs against the canyon.

As soon as the battle started, the left army of the allied forces stormed the right flank of the central army, while the central armies of both sides fell into a stalemate.

In this way, a gap was opened between the right army of the central army, the central army, and the left army.

Sancar saw the right moment and ordered the left army of the coalition army to insert between the right army of the central army and the middle and left armies.

This gap gets bigger offside.

The left, center and right armies of the coalition forces have gradually entered this gap.

Seeing this, Yelu Dashi suggested to Li Yan that the Central Army and the Left Army should detour to the right wing of the coalition army.

Li Yan followed Yelu Dashi's suggestion and led the central army and the left army led by Yue Fei to make a detour.

After such a detour, the result became that the right wing of the Chinese army attacked the left wing of the coalition army, the left wing of the Chinese army detoured to the back of the coalition army, and the central army of the Chinese army attacked the right wing of the coalition army-this caused the central army's door to open suddenly, and the coalition forces were on three sides. In the situation of being attacked by the enemy, and the coalition forces are facing the canyon, the Chinese army is surrounded by three sides and launched a fierce attack.

The coalition forces had nowhere to go, and could only be forced into the canyon by the sharply attacking Chinese army.

And the canyon is very narrow, once tens of thousands of people enter, it is difficult to turn around.

The point is that before Yue Fei and Liu Kai ambushed hundreds of thousands of reserve civilians on both sides.

Soon, millions of explosive packs were thrown into the canyon from both sides of the canyon by reserve civilians.

The explosives included rain, blowing up the coalition troops in the canyon.

And that's not the end.

After the explosion, the Chinese army rushed into the canyon again, and carried out a second massacre of those coalition warriors who had not been killed by the bombing.

After one battle, hundreds of thousands of corpses were laid down by the coalition forces. Most of those who survived were captured alive. Only 2 or [-] people were killed from the other side of the canyon. Lei was caught alive.

The fate of Central Asia was decided by the first battle of the Chinese army.

Soon, the Chinese army took advantage of the great victory and went straight to Isfahan, the capital of the Seljuk Empire...
