The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 212
Yi Shibo looked around, and suddenly found sadly that [-] Xue Yantuo warriors were devastated in this one hour, and the number of people who can still gather around him now is even less than [-], while his two Both sons are gone.

"Despicable Sui people, and damn Ashina Simo, you killed my son. One day, you will be thrown into the boundless hell and tortured forever!" Yi Shibo looked at the big man in front of him with red eyes. General Sui, this is a complete conspiracy!This despicable Sui man colluded with Ashina Simo and set up a big trap to lure him into being fooled. At this moment, Yi Shibo's brain is surprisingly good.

"Despicable?" Qin Qiong sneered, and said: "The strong prey on the weak, it has been the same since ancient times, there is no such thing as despicable or not despicable."

Qin Qiong's cold eyes swept across the faces of all Xue Yantuo's soldiers: "As long as you kill this old man and agree to surrender to us, I can accept your surrender!"

"Kill me?" For a moment, Yi Shibo was stunned. He suddenly had a creepy feeling, and felt the surroundings were full of malice, as if at this moment, the warriors under his command became his enemies. His complexion suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "Don't listen to his nonsense, the Han people are despicable and cunning, everyone should have seen it, warriors, how can Xue Yantuo's warriors bow their heads to the despicable Sui people, and fight out with me!"

No one answered him, they saw the big crossbows raised with cold light, and immediately looked at Yi Shibo with malicious eyes, and more people also quietly distanced themselves from Yi Shibo.

"You..." Yi Shibo looked at the Xue Yantuo soldiers around him in disbelief, and an unbelievable light flashed in his red eyes. These people are all his confidants!Now they have chosen to abandon him.

"Great chief, we want to live!" A Xue Yantuo soldier suddenly shouted angrily, and slashed the scimitar in his hand towards his leader, Yi Shibo, like lightning.

"Death!" Yi Shibo naturally wouldn't sit still, and ruthlessly chopped down the warrior with his saber.

"puff"

Amidst the sound of a sharp weapon tearing his muscles, a pair of icy scimitars ruthlessly plunged into his body amidst Yi Shibo's howling like a desperate wolf.

"Roar!" A mad look flashed in Yi Shibo's eyes, and the saber fiercely swept towards the surroundings, sweeping away six Xue Yantuo fighters at the same time, and rushed towards the surrounding taxis frantically.

"He's crazy, kill him!" As a soldier Xue Yantuo yelled loudly, the others finally stopped hesitating and attacked Yi Shibo with their weapons.

A battle about human nature did not last long. The roar stopped abruptly after killing more than a dozen soldiers, and the remaining Xue Yantuo soldiers looked at Qin Qiong silently.

Before they could open their mouths, Jieli Khan had already hissed and shouted: "The whole army presses down, kill!"

'Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom! Huge horseshoes sounded on the grassland, and the [-] troops launched an attack at the same time. The Turkic cavalry, which could not be seen at a glance, was like a black ocean, surging towards the Sui side in undulating waves.

Jieli Khan knows that the trap has been filled, and he will not make any mistakes just now. He will no longer play refueling tactics, and will no longer allow the opponent to defeat his army one by one. Make the most of your strengths.

The mighty momentum of the [-] army is enough to make any opponent terrified, but Qin Qiong is not moved at all.

Even if the 2 Turkic army is a surging sea, Mo Dao Shou will be an indestructible reef. No matter how rampant the Turkic army is, it will eventually be defeated in its own hands.From the heroic sacrifice of Xue Yantuo, our side is only missing [-] people, and the balance of victory has tilted towards our side.

"Southern Khan, Hera, attack with the whole army! This is the time to defeat the enemy." After Qin Qiong saw the power balance between the enemy and us, he stopped the idea of ​​​​letting the Mo Dao hand attack, and decided to let the cavalry of both sides fight for a while Besides.

"Yes!" Ashina Simo waved his hand excitedly, causing Hera and several tribal leaders to lead the cavalry towards the invading enemy.

Forty-five thousand cavalry, led by their respective leaders, rushed towards the Turkic army like water breaking a bank.The frenzied horseshoes trampled on the ground covered with muddy flesh, rolling up the sky full of flesh and blood.

"Kill!" Jieli Khan held up the long knife in his hand. At this time, he must not retreat. He has rich experience in actual combat. The morale of the Turkic warriors is not high. If he retreats at this time, it will be over.

"Hoohoho~"

The vast Turkic cavalry formation also began to charge. On the spacious ground, two huge cavalrymen collided like two torrents. In an instant, blood, sword light, and arrows were in chaos.

The army is full of tens of thousands and boundless, and it is difficult to detect the superiority of numbers in the first place. The most important thing is morale.

Qin Qiong used traps to slaughter Xue Yantuo's [-] troops before, which had already raised the morale of this side to a high level, so the killing was extremely brave. On the other hand, Jieli Khan's side is not optimistic. Although there are many soldiers, the morale is much lower. And because he came from a long distance, although he can't see anything for a while, if he fights for a long time, he will definitely lose.The two teams fought together chaotically, and in the end it was morale that mattered.

Looking at the two armies fighting together in front of him, a look of disdain flashed in Qin Qiong's eyes. These Turkic people were just like two gangs of refugees fighting in groups, without any rules at all. The only difference was that they were bigger and more ruthless. My side's morale was high, but it failed to overwhelm the situation, and instead fell into a entanglement. It's a shame to say it.

"General Qin, when are we going to do it?" Su Wu looked at the battlefield and shouted at Qin Qiong.

"No hurry! The opponent still has an army that hasn't moved yet, and Mo Dao Shou will keep it as a spare." Qin Qiong found a high-sounding reason to reject Su Wu's invitation to fight. If Mo Dao Shou enters the battlefield too early, it will only speed up Jieli Khan This is not in line with Qin Qiong's strategic intentions. What he wants is to hurt both sides. If Mo Dao Shou makes a move at this time, even if he can win a big victory, it will only achieve Ashina Simo, which will not benefit Sui at all.

But no matter whether it was Ashina Simo or Su Wu, Qin Qiong was convinced, because the trap was set up by Qin Qiong's order, and this move alone cost [-] lives, and they had to be convinced.

The fighting is still going on. The morale of Qin Qiong's soldiers is high, but their shortcomings are also obvious. These people come from complicated sources, and they have never been solidified like those of the Sui army. They are no different from a mess of sand. Although the morale of the Xieli army was not high, they were divided into two groups. If it weren't for the morale, this side would have lost long ago.

The fight lasted for a full three hours, and countless people fell in a pool of blood. Jieli Khan didn't want to see this kind of situation. He didn't have any prestige at all. Turks may split again next time, which is obviously not what he wants to see.

What's more, there are still a group of people on the other side who have not moved yet.

Seeing the increasing casualties, Jieli Khan finally sighed and gave the order to withdraw his troops.

"Woooooo~"

Amid the sound of desolate horns, the Turks quickly turned their horses' heads and began to retreat like a tide. Qin Qiong's eyes were dimly lit, and he said to Fan Ze, "The time has come, lead the troops to charge!"

"Here!" Fan Ze was already impatient with the wait, he agreed excitedly, and then led an army of [-] to rush towards the battlefield.

Hera and the others had planned to retreat when they saw Jieli Khan's withdrawal, but at this time, the Sui army suddenly rushed out. Driven by the Sui army, they subconsciously charged one by one.

"These damned Sui people!" Jieli Khan couldn't help cursing, it would be very difficult to escape now.

Under the leadership of Fan Ze, five thousand cavalrymen pierced the enemy's rear like a sharp sword. However, since Jieli Khan chose to withdraw, he could not have been unprepared, and a dense rain of arrows rose into the sky. Facing the Sui army, they rushed down, but at this time, Hera and others had already killed them. After a rain of arrows, the two sides got entangled again, and the bloody killing... continued on the grassland!

At this time, the Mo Daomen led by Su Wu also received Qin Qiong's order, and they threw down the heavy Mo Dao and killed them one after another.

These five thousand warriors who had been holding back for a long time erupted with high fighting spirit.

The same nation, subject to two hostile forces, is engaged in a decisive battle of life and death.The war has reached a fever pitch. More than [-] troops fought bloody battles on a grassland more than ten miles wide. Groups of cavalrymen fought one by one, stabbing with knives and spears, and horses neighing.

A war horse was overturned, and a bloody face grinned fiercely and thrust a sharp spear into the chest of the fallen man. The spear pierced the chest, and the fallen man let out a long and miserable cry.

The blood-stained face looked up and laughed wildly, the laughter stopped abruptly, a cold arrow shot through his throat, and a war horse galloped past him immediately, the sharp war knife cut off his neck, the head flew up, and the neck The cavity suddenly burst into blood.

The setting sun was like blood, and the fighting of the day gradually stopped with the passage of time. The Jieli Khan tribe who came running wildly finally couldn't hold on. After paying a price of nearly 4 people, they finally successfully left the battlefield. Although Nasimo's troops won the final victory because the Sui army joined later, they also paid a heavy price.

More than 5 soldiers and horses were counted after the war, and the total was less than [-], and they were directly disabled.

On the contrary, the Sui army withdrew from the battlefield after a round of charge. Otherwise, if the Sui army charged forward, with their excellent equipment, even the horses were equipped with horse armor, Ashina Simo The loss of the Ministry will not be so heavy.

However, a tragic victory is also a victory!When Jieli Khan withdrew, five thousand Sui troops surged away.Ashina Simo thought it was due to Qin Qiong's tactics, thinking that Qin Qiong let the Sui army recharge their batteries for the final pursuit, not to mention that his five thousand hands did not suffer any losses, which also made his only There was no doubt left.

Ashina Simo let the soldiers play freely, and he did not go to catch up. Instead, he came to discuss with Qin Qiong what to do next. There are still 10,000+ troops coming here. He hopes that Qin Qiong can return to Baicheng and continue to lead them to defeat Jieli Khan

Originally, Ashina Simo didn't have much confidence in Qin Qiong, but after seeing Qin Qiong's ability this time, he also found that in the confrontation with Jieli Khan's army, their troops were like a mess, and they needed a Qin Qiong like that. Commander to rule.

"Don't worry, Khan." Qin Qiong said with a light smile: "This time, the general was ordered by His Highness to help Khan ascend to the position of Great Khan, but since Khan trusts me, Qin Qiong, then Qin will also Let me say a word as the head coach."

"General, please speak!" Ashina Simo hurriedly bowed.

"In today's battle, I think Khan can also feel that your men and horses are fighting independently, and there are even incidents of fighting against each other. When our Sui army attacked, the morale of the whole army was very high. It should have defeated the enemy in one go. Because of the different leadership, the big victory that should have been turned into a tragic victory, a narrow victory, if Qin Mou wants to return to Baicheng to control the army, he must obey my order, if there is any disobedience, Qin Mou will be dealt with according to my Great Sui Army Law Of course, the decision-making power still rests with Khan. If you don’t trust me to command the general power, Qin will still help Khan, but he will not force you to carry out military orders. As for the results of the battle, I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as today."

"This..." Ashina Simo was a little tangled up. To him, if he handed over his military power, it would be tantamount to giving up his ability to protect himself. If Qin Qiong wanted to take the opportunity to seize power at this time, he would not even have the ability to resist at all. No.

Regardless of the fact that Ashina Simo is still under the name of Yang Tong, he has developed very rapidly over the past year, which makes him feel something he shouldn't have in his heart.

People who are not of our race must have a different heart. What is true for the Han people is the same for the Turkic people. Although they are attached to Yang Tong now, as long as there is an opportunity, Ashina Simo will not hesitate to point the finger at him. Yang Tong.

Qin Qiong naturally understood this truth, he sneered in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "We can't fight anymore now, let's talk about everything when we go back."

Ashina Simo rolled his eyes and said, "General Qin, why don't you command our generals, how about we command the army?"

The commander of Qin Qiong's personal guard frowned, and was about to explode, but Qin Qiong waved his hand to stop what he was going to say, looked at Ashina Simo and smiled, "That's okay too! Let's clean the battlefield first."

"Here!" Seeing that Qin Qiong had no intention of taking military power, Ashina Simo immediately agreed and ordered the wounded soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

"General, don't you want to weaken them?" When the Turks were gone, the guard commander couldn't help asking: "Why do you still want to be their coach?"

"I'm worried that this group of mobs won't be able to support even one round of Xieli!" Yan Qinqiong snorted coldly and said, "Today, more than 2 people have been killed with traps, and the morale of Xieli's army has dropped to the bottom. Not to mention His Highness's five armies, even my Tai Sui army can take advantage of the situation to beat the enemy, but Ashina Simo and the others were almost defeated by Jieli, if not for our army to join, this gang of mobs would have been defeated!"

"What Your Highness wants is to weaken the strength of these people, but he doesn't want Ashina Simo to be defeated or die in battle. Jieli is by no means easy to deal with. Qibi Heli, who was in the middle of the march, has a bit of the Han family's art of war, if I continue to let this gang of mobs continue to fight, I am not worried about their victory, but I am worried that they will die too soon."

Now Ashina Simo, supported by Yang Tong, has become a little more impressive. Although there is a possibility of killing the master, at least for now it is still a very useful sword.At least before the fall of Jieli Khan, Yang Tong is not prepared to let Ashina Simo be defeated. After all, Turkic and Tiele are still strong. Keeping this dog can bring huge benefits for bringing the prairie into the sphere of influence of the Sui Dynasty in the future. effect.It is true that Ashina Simo must be suppressed, but he cannot be killed, otherwise Yang Tong would not have sent him Qin Qiong, but let him die on his own.

Qin Qiong didn't take Ashina Simo seriously at all, and judging from the current situation, Jieli Khan didn't have the prestige to persuade the ministries to go south in the short term.What he was worried about now was Xue Wanche, who was going deep into the army alone, and he didn't know what was going on with that kid, but he only hoped that he would not meet Yu Dujinshan's army.
