Chapter 176 Bad news (recommended for collection)
"Go south to the Central Plains and conquer Chang'an!"

"Go south to the Central Plains and conquer Chang'an!"

Hearing the thundering voice, Jieli Khan was very satisfied, squinted his eyes, and was about to give the order to march.However, at this moment, Yi Nan, the eldest son of Xue Yantuo Khan Yi Shibo, was carried up by several soldiers.

Yi Shibo is over 50 years old, tall, and extremely strong. He was originally the leader of the Xue tribe. Since he was 20 years old, he has led his soldiers to continuously invade the Yantuo tribe, gradually annexing them, and finally formed the strongest in Tie Le. The tribe of Daxue Yantuo has a total of more than [-] people and more than [-] people attached to it.

He has three sons, the eldest son Yi Nan, the second son Xue Luo, and the third son Xue Fang. The eldest son Yi Nan is the heir to the Khan throne and sits in the headquarters. The second and third sons are by his side and take charge of the army for him.

At this time, Yi Nan was no longer the burly young man Yi Shibo knew, who was fierce, swallowed mountains, and was full of arrogance.Instead, his face was sallow, his breath was weak, and he looked weak, as if he might die at any time.

"My son, what's wrong with you?" Yi Shibo trembled in fear, feeling like the world was falling apart.

"Father Khan, the clan is gone, and the clan was snatched away by the Sui Army..." Yi Nan spoke weakly, and briefly explained the story.

Compared with the Tongluo tribe, which was closed in the Kent Valley, Xue Yantuo attached great importance to vigilance. After Yi Shibo left the headquarters, Yi Nan regarded defense as the top priority.When the Sui army attacked, Yinan got the news immediately, and dug trenches around the tribe, blocking them with fences, and blocking the gaps in the fences with wooden boards. It was completely designed for cavalry and strong crossbows.

Qin Qiong got the enemy's defense, so he simply held up the torches generously that night to attack. The [-] soldiers held two torches, forming a huge winding fire dragon, frightening the enemy with their sudden force.

The momentum of the Sui army made the barbarians restless, and then a raging fire ignited, as if fighting the Sui army to the end.

With the help of the light in the opponent's tribe, Qin Qiong had a panoramic view of the situation of Xue Yantuo's tribe. Qin Qiong thought of Cao GUI's saying in the debate, "Courage is also important in a husband's battle. One effort, then decline, and three exhaustion." The army, in order to defend the country, the morale is at a high point.At this time, when he attacked, he happened to meet the sharp edge of the enemy, so he ordered the torch to be extinguished, and then rested and waited for orders.In order to wait until Xue Yantuo's momentum declines, he will attack again.

Looking at the mighty army, Yinan had already done the pre-war incitement and encouragement, using the bad situation to arouse the tribe's heart to fight to the death, and using the concept of protecting the family to incite the bravery of the tribe's soldiers, so that the entire tribe Morale is lifted.

result……

The opponent's torches were all extinguished, only giving him a pitch-black night, and only then did Yi Nan realize that the tactics of war he had learned were far inferior to those of the Central Plains people who were proficient in military power.

As the son of a Khan who has just taken office, Yi Nan is a little at a loss, and his self-confidence has been greatly hit. He wants to resist and lead his tribe out of the tribe, but he doesn't know how many enemies there are and where they are. If he goes out, he will definitely become the other party's living shoes. For a while, Yi Nan has nothing to do.In the end, the morale and fighting spirit of the tribe disappeared bit by bit, and the last chance to stand up was lost.

When Xue Yantuo lost all his fighting spirit, the Sui army launched an offensive.Qin Qiong first fired a series of powerful crossbow arrows, and then took the heavy armored infantry led by Niu Jinda as the forward.

Sure enough, Qin Qiong was a little shocked by Xue Yantuo's dense arrow feathers. Almost all of their arrow feathers were scattered among the soldiers, and there were very few cases where they missed.If you don't have a certain foundation, you can never do this.

The reputation of grassland people for being good at archery is definitely not in vain
But the heavy armored infantry charged at the forefront, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, hooking their bodies, hiding their bodies in the shield like a turtle.

As the only shield-bearing unit, they have already undergone training in this area. Even if arrows are shot at their bodies, they will be blocked by heavy armor blades. At most, they will only suffer some flesh injuries. The arrow feather passed through the gap in the shield, hit the vital point and fell to the ground.

After paying the price of more than a hundred people, the Sui army approached the camp.

The defensive facilities in the camp were really simple, Niu Jinda just kicked a fence and fell to the ground with a bang.He broke into the camp first, and the soldiers behind him smashed the remaining fences to make it easier for the rear army to enter.

There was almost no suspense in this battle. Yi Nan tried every means to stop the Sui army, but when he confronted the Sui army head-on, ten thousand troops of the Sui army launched a deadly attack from the other three sides. The only way out is to fight and flee.

"Puff" sound.

Yi Shibo knelt down heavily. He never expected that because of his greed, he took away most of the troops. In this cold winter, he actually heard the news of the broken clan. At this moment, he My heart is broken.Without the support of the tribe, he is like a rootless weed.After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are the clansmen?"

"Dead or die, escape or scatter!" Yi Nan said with big tears in his eyes, "The Sui army left, and they burned all the supplies of the entire tribe! The clansmen Even if you escape for a while, you can't escape this icy winter."

"King Khan, you have to decide for us Xue Yantuo!" Yi Shibo, an old man in his fifties, was streaming down his tears.

Under the persecution of Shibi Khan, he swung the butcher knife at the Qibi, Huihe, and Hun tribes. Although it was a helpless move, the Tiele tribe who was victimized by him would not think so, they hated it With Yi Shibo, the executioner who attacked his own people, he formed an alliance against Xue Yantuo and the Turks!

Yi Shibo knew that the rift could not be repaired, so he simply agreed to Jieli Khan, married his daughter, and prepared for Jieli's momentum to annex Tiele completely. , under the instigation of Jieli Khan, he mobilized [-]% of his subordinates in one go to expand and separate. As a result, there was no action here, but the Sui army destroyed the rear in one fell swoop.Thinking that I have worked hard for many years, and almost lost more than half of it, my heart is exhausted.

Looking at his new father-in-law, Jieli also felt sympathy, and said through gritted teeth: "Don't worry, I will never share the sky with the Sui Dynasty, your hatred is the hatred in my heart. I will definitely pay the Sui Dynasty dearly." I will appease your people. And as long as we go south to make a profit, I will give you [-]% of the supplies." He deliberately mentioned the Sui army and [-]% of the supplies in order to arouse Yi Shibo's hatred and greed. Heart, let him stay and fight with himself going south.

Yi Shibo shook his head miserably and said: "The tribe was destroyed, and the clansmen were killed and their corpses were exposed in the wilderness. Those who were lucky enough to escape were homeless. If they were not collected and resettled, they would not be able to survive. This was all caused by my greed. This big mistake has already been made, and I won’t go back to make up for it. How can I face my father? With King Khan’s approval, Yi withdraws his army in disgrace and goes back to summon the scattered tribesmen to make preparations for this damned winter.”

The lair was kicked, and Xue Yantuo suffered heavy economic and material losses. He will definitely not be able to successfully survive the winter that is still about a month away. He can only go back to gather the tribes, and first borrow some supplies from the brother tribes. How many people can he receive? How many people go down, only to resign themselves to fate.

Jieli let out a long sigh: "Be careful all the way, you have suffered this loss because of me. I, Jieli, will give you some compensation to help you get through this winter. First, I will give you [-] sheepskins, [-] sheep, Thousands of catties of highland barley go back."
