Chapter 28 There is no more wolf rider in the world
Xue Yantuo crossed the Baidao from Mobei and arrived at Chilechuan. Naturally, he had to station troops here to protect the chokepoint for the army's retreat. However, Dadu Shi did not pay much attention to this place, and Xue Yantuo's 100,000 troops came here.
Going south, pushing forward all the way, no matter whether the Turks or the Han people were in a hurry, no enemy troops could appear hundreds of miles away, so more than a thousand soldiers were stationed symbolically to guard the Baidaokou.
It's just that Dadu Shi never expected that this trip would take an earth-shaking turn...
In the morning light, everything is silent.
Only the north wind passes through Baidaokou, whistling and rolling up the snow on the mountain pass...
The cavalry of the Tang Army cautiously approached the mountain pass. They were not discovered by Xue Yantuo's scouts until they were less than one mile away from the mountain pass.
Since their tracks could not be hidden, the Tang army simply accelerated and headed towards Xue Yantuo's camp on the side of the mountain pass.
The iron hoofs crushed the ice and snow, and the attack launched by ten thousand cavalry was earth-shattering. The rumble shook the earth, and even the snow on the slopes on both sides was shaken and rolled down.
Countless Tang army cavalry rushed toward the mountain pass. The bright red tassels on the soldiers' helmets rippled like a piece of blood-red sea water, and the momentum was terrifying!
Xue Rengui took the lead, with his shiny armor, bright red cloak, and the gilded phoenix wings in his hand, he pushed it out diagonally, and easily cut off the head of a Xue Yantuo soldier who had mounted his horse to fight in panic, and blood spurted up three feet.
Then he took back the gilded phoenix-winged boring machine, raised it, and hit another Xue Yantuo soldier on the head.
The soldier reacted in time, and used the spear in his hand to block Xue Rengui's blow. Unexpectedly, Xue Rengui was too strong, and all of a sudden, even the weapon and the man were knocked off his horse. The soldier fell dizzy, and before he could get up from the ground
When he got up, he was trampled to pieces by the iron hooves of the Tang army that came one after another...
One side was caught off guard and was weak, while the other side had a huge advantage with a full blow. The battle only lasted for a while, and the Xue Yantuo soldiers stationed at the mountain pass were wiped out.
The bodies of Xueyantuo soldiers were dragged away, and the blood on the ground was covered by shoveled snow. Everything did not look like it had gone through a great battle.
All the soldiers of the Tang army dismounted, held their reins and entered the white road. They rested and ate along the hillside and fed their horses fodder and beans.
One by one, the thunderbolts were taken out from the wooden box and stacked neatly in the camp.
If Da Du is destined to return to the White Way, there will be a big surprise left for him...
*****
At the foot of Evil Sun Ridge, the battle has become fierce.
In order to protect their wives and children, the Turks fought bravely and bravely without fear of death. Moreover, their equipment and tactics were excellent, and they actually defended the mountain road with all their might, preventing the Xueyantuo people from advancing even an inch.
However, Xue Yantuo finally had a huge advantage in military strength. After Dadu Shi caught up and killed several Qu commanders who were cowering, the offensive became more fierce and the Turks gradually lost their battle.
…
Ashina Simo chopped down the Xue Yantuo soldier in front of him with a knife, and was unexpectedly stabbed in the shoulder by a spear from the side. He screamed in pain and fell off his horse. The dead soldiers behind him rushed up and killed the Xue Yantuo soldier.
He retreated and rescued him.
"Profuse sweat! I can't stand it anymore, why don't you withdraw first!"
"You are a big Turkic man. We can die in battle, but you cannot die!"
"Yes, the Great Khan, it doesn't matter if we die, but our wives and children still have to rely on the Great Khan to survive!"
The soldiers around me shouted to dissuade him.
If Ashina Simo died here, what would happen to those Turkic women and children? Without the banner of Ashina Simo, how could the Tang Dynasty take in those orphans and widows?
Even if he is taken into custody, he will only have the fate of a slave from now on...
With red eyes, Ashina Simo looked at the corpses all around. The blood had completely dyed the snow red. After a night of fighting, all the Turkic warriors were dead and injured. They clenched their teeth with their last breath and survived.
The battle losses were several times greater.
He was a little desperate.
A night of fighting has exhausted the blood in my heart, my body is bruised and my body is exhausted, and panic and fear are growing uncontrollably like weeds.
After all, Ashina Simo does lack the toughness and tenacity of the Turks. He is a spoiled Turk aristocrat who has enjoyed too much glory and wealth, and has long discarded the traditions of the Turks. Not much is left...
With his mouth trembling, Ashina Simo looked blankly at the dead soldiers around him, then looked back at the Xue Yantuo cavalry who had formed their formation and prepared to launch another attack. In the end, the endless heroism turned into just one sentence...
"Retreat..."
What kind of golden wolf, what kind of Turkic Khan, which one can have his own life as important?
Just as the soldiers persuaded him, his life cannot be lost here. There are tens of thousands of old, weak, sick, disabled, orphans and widows who are counting on him to survive...
Once fear arises, it cannot be stopped.
The soldiers didn't have time to bandage his wounds, so they just helped him mount a war horse. A group of people guarded the left and right, and they galloped towards Yanmen Pass and fled.
The Turkic Wolf Cavalry, which was already at the end of its war effort, saw its own Khan actually fleeing from the battlefield. Its morale was low, and the last breath it had been holding on to suddenly collapsed.
The army was defeated like a mountain...
Da Dushu, who was in the rear formation, hesitated for a moment and said to the left and right: "Since the Turkic wolf cavalry have been slaughtered, there is no need to chase. Yanmen Pass is not far ahead. In case the Tang people misunderstood, we intend to break through the pass and enter."
In the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, there will be big trouble."
"promise!"
The scouts around you received the order and went to deliver the order.
"Wait!"
Tumidu, whose head and face were wrapped like a big rice dumpling, rode his horse to Dadushe and suggested: "How can the second prince let Ashina Simo leave? Although the Turkic wolf cavalry were slaughtered, but this grassland
There are quite a few remaining Turks above! As long as Ashina Simo is alive, he will be the Khan of the Eastern Turks and the master of the Golden Wolf Dahu. He can pull up another Turkic Wolf Cavalry anytime and anywhere! Today Xue Yantuo has already
We have forged a blood feud with the Turks. From now on, either you will die or I will die. Now that the matter has come to this point, the second prince must pursue and kill them all. Ashina Simo must not be given a chance to breathe, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Da Dushu paused for a moment, thought about it, and said tangledly: "But if I am misunderstood by the Tang army and trigger a dispute between the two countries, my father Khan will definitely punish me."
I am speechless...
Damn you, you are about to kill the Yanmen Pass, and you have killed the Turks who were supported by the Tang Dynasty until the corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed into rivers. How do you expect the Tang Dynasty to talk nicely to you?
Maybe now the Tang army is chasing behind them to cover them up!
Holding back his contempt and disdain for Da Du She, Tu Midu dissuaded him and said: "But if Ashina Simo is allowed to leave and fails to kill all his people, which will cause endless troubles, the Great Khan will still punish him.
You! You are going to be punished anyway, why not just get the unparalleled feat of killing the Turkic Khan? Even if you are punished by the Great Khan, you are still Xue Yantuo’s hero! The tribes in the grassland and desert worship the strong most.
Who wouldn’t follow your second prince’s lead in the future?”
Da Dushu licked his lips, his heart moved...
yes!
Once upon a time, the Turks were the overlords on the grasslands, shining brightly in the sun and the moon, and covering all directions. Many tribes prostrated under their banners and in front of their tents, obeying their orders and serving as their masters!
The Turkic Khan is blessed by the gods, the son of the wolf god, and the most noble existence in the world!
If I can kill a Turkic Khan, the increase in my prestige will be immeasurable. As long as I can gain the worship and respect of various tribes, I will have a better chance of winning the battle with Bazhuo for the Khanship...
At this moment, he no longer hesitated and made a decisive decision: "Send out the entire army, capture Ashina Simo, be promoted to captain of ten thousand men, and receive a bounty of white yi!"
"The second prince is mighty!"
Xue Yantuo's cavalry howled excitedly, summoning up all their strength to slaughter all the participating Turkic wolf cavalry, and then galloped their horses and whips to pursue Ashina Simo in the distance.
Thousands of horses galloped, the sound was majestic, and the overwhelming pursuit came.
…
Ashina Simo ran away on horseback. He looked back at his pursuers from time to time, and found that the pursuers were getting closer and closer. The sound of arrows shot by Xue Yantuo people piercing the air could be heard in his ears, and they shot past him.
He had to lie down on the horse's back with his whole body to prevent being shot by stray arrows.
"Khan, move quickly, we will stop the pursuers!"
The more than twenty soldiers, Wolf Cavalry, shouted, reined in their horses, and rushed into the enemy formation without hesitation, trying to stop the pursuers.
It's just that the morale of Xue Yantuo's cavalry is high, and tens of thousands of cavalry are chasing them like an overwhelming force. How can a mere twenty people stop them?
Ashina Simo watched his soldiers wolf cavalry rush into the ground formation. It was just like a few drops of water dripping into the sea. It didn't even stir up the waves and was immediately submerged. His eyes were splitting...
Ahead, the majestic outline of Yanmen Pass comes into view.
Suddenly a thought came to Ashina Simo's mind: What if the Tang people refused to open the door?
