Under the protection of his own soldiers, Ashina Simo whipped his horse with all his strength and fled towards Yanmen Pass like a desperate man.
The original intention was indeed to use his body as bait, but he never thought that he would actually become the bait!
The purpose of leading Xue Yantuo's army to Yanmen Pass has been achieved. In fact, he should have retreated earlier, instead of fighting to the end with his wolf cavalry, and retreating under the protection of his own soldiers until the last moment. If he could not retreat in time, he would be killed by Xue Yantuo.
If the cavalry is entangled in groups, isn't it necessary to kill someone?
I haven’t enjoyed enough glory and wealth yet…
Just now, the two armies were fighting desperately in the formation, and his blood was surging. In his ears, he heard the cries of his wolf cavalry who were about to die, and in his eyes was the ferocious face of the enemy, with swords, swords, shadows, and flesh flying everywhere, which made him fall into a state of selflessness.
The degenerated Turks suddenly resurrected their bloody nature and ignored life and death!
But now that I have retreated and run away, endless fear once again fills my heart.
You must escape to Yanmen Pass!
As long as you enter the pass, you will be completely safe! The Xue Yantuo people must not dare to attack Yanmen Pass and start a head-on war with the Tang Dynasty.
The horse was so tired that it was sweating profusely, huffing and puffing with white air, and running with all its strength.
In fear, Ashina Simo still looked back frequently on his horse. He saw a dozen Xueyantuo riders who relied on their superb riding skills and excellent horses to break away from the large group and slowly chased after them. Ashina Simo was frightened.
Mo quickly lay down on his horse, fearing that the enemy would shoot him with arrows.
This road was full of fighting and running, and the horses' physical strength was about to be exhausted. No matter how hard the Turks pushed them, they could not speed up again.
Seeing the dozen or so mounted Xue Yantuo soldiers chasing closer and closer, several soldiers looked at each other and shouted loudly on their horses: "Khan, take care! We will stop the pursuers!"
After saying this, they all reined in their horses, turned their horses' heads, and launched a countercharge towards the enemy, trying to stop the dozen or so horsemen who were chasing them closer and closer.
This is a way to commit suicide. Even if they can stop the dozen cavalry, Xue Yantuo's tens of thousands of cavalry are already chasing after them. The ice and snow foam that rises up into the air is almost turned into a mist by the horses' hooves. It is an earth-shattering attack.
And then, in just one breath, these Turkic soldiers will be crushed by the hoofs of horses.
Ashina Simo was lying on the horse, biting his lip and drawing blood. Tears were rolling in his eyes, but he did not have the courage to refuse...
He just clamped the horse's belly with force and kept urging the horse to speed up. As long as he reached Yanmen Pass quickly, he and the soldiers around him would be saved.
However, a sudden thought made him feel panic-
What if the Tang army does not allow the Turks to withdraw into Yanmen Pass?
Zhao Deyan said he had a way, but what if he couldn't convince the Yanmen Pass guard?
…
In this mood of being tortured by fear and panic, the majestic gate tower of Yanmen Pass finally appeared in front of us. The tall and simple gate tower, with the Great Wall on both sides winding and the mountains, the majestic grandeur of the world's majestic pass can be seen at a glance.
And at this moment, under the closed door, countless Turkic old and weak women and children were gathering there driving livestock.
The door is heavy, but still closed tightly.
The situation that scares Ashina Simo the most has appeared...
The Tang army refused to allow the Turks to withdraw into Yanmen Pass!
Ashina Simo felt as if his chest was hit hard by a big stone falling from the sky. His vision went dark, his throat was fishy, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed on the horse, but he suddenly jumped from behind the horse.
Falling up.
He fell hard on the snow.
"Sweat!"
"Sweat!"
The soldiers around him turned pale with fright and hurriedly reined in their horses. Two soldiers threw off their stirrups and jumped off their horses, threw themselves to the ground and helped Ashina Simo up.
Ashina Simo's face was as golden as paper, and his breath was like gossamer. His eyes were tightly closed, and he had passed out.
The two soldiers were at a loss...
what to do?
The rest of the soldiers were sweating profusely while sitting on their horses. Ao Sheshe, who had already changed into an ordinary soldier's uniform, had no idea at this moment. He looked at the Xue Yantuo cavalry who came up from behind to cover up the enemy, and then looked at the unconscious Ashi on the ground.
Na Simo gritted his teeth and yelled angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Quickly help the Khan onto the horse and take him to Yanmen Pass. The rest of the people will wait and follow me to stop the Xue Yantuo people!"
After saying this, he gritted his teeth and knocked the horse's belly. The horse neighed loudly, spread its hooves, and charged towards the Xue Yantuo people who were coming to cover up the enemy from behind.
This Turkic prince was despised by his mother, Princess Yicheng, and did not pass the throne of Khan to him after his father's death, but instead passed it on to his uncle. He has always owed the support of the Ashina family to the Turks, so he
Like a marginalized person, he is outside the entire Turkic center.
However, at this moment of life and death, he finally showed his pride and courage as a Turkic noble.
He knew that if Ashina Simo died, the surviving Turks would never be tolerated and accepted by the Tang Dynasty. Compared with Ashina Simo, he, the son of Chuluo Khan, Jieli Khan
The nephew is not much more important than an ordinary Turk.
Therefore, his charging back is desolate and heroic, but his momentum is firm and unyielding!
Today's death is to preserve the future for Turks!
One day, the descendants of the Ashina family will once again come to dominate the land where their ancestors have thrived and become the kings of the grasslands and deserts!
Seeing Ao Sheshe's decisive and tragic figure, the other Turkic soldiers looked at each other, then without saying a word, they turned their horses and rushed towards Xue Yantuo without hesitation.
Even if it means death, we must fight for a glimmer of life for Ashina Simo.
That is the continuation of the Turks!
*****
On the tower of Yanmen Pass, Xiao Siye looked at the white snow in Guanxia, the vast mountains and rivers in the distance, and tens of thousands of people gathered in Guanxia, with horses neighing, dogs barking and cows barking, and he didn't know what he was feeling.
He is the chief historian of the Shanyu Protectorate granted by the emperor.
In March of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, led his army to the Yinshan Mountains, captured the Turkic Jieli Khan, and destroyed the Eastern Turks. His Majesty Li Er established the four prefectural governor's offices of Shun, You, Hua, and Chang in the hometown of the Tuli Khan.
In the former place of Li Khan, Dingxiang Dudu's Mansion and Yunzhong Dudu's Mansion were built.
The location of Chanyu's Protectorate is Dingxiang City.
And when he was despised and abandoned by his family, he returned to Northern Xinjiang full of resentment, and passionately decided to make a good contribution to let the short-sighted old guys in the family take a good look, but found that he just left Northern Xinjiang.
Half a year has passed, but time has changed and the world has become a mess...
In Chang'an City, the ministers in the temples and His Majesty the Emperor in the Taiji Palace were still thinking about how to politely reject Xue Yantuo's request for marriage in order to stabilize the overall situation and stabilize the northern border, so that the empire could launch an eastern expedition with all its strength to conquer Goguryeo.
Little did he know that there was already a mess among the vast mountains to the north of the Great Wall...
Xue Yantuo crossed the Evil Yang Mountains and attacked the Turks secretly?
Yu Wenfa, the guard of Mayi City, actually blocked the Youtun Guards from leaving the customs and refused to supply the Youwu Guards with food and fodder, making it impossible for them to leave the city to rescue the Turks?
The most outrageous thing is that it is understandable that the Turks abandoned the city and went south, but instead of going to Mayi, they went straight to Yanmen Pass. What kind of move was this to abandon the near and seek the far?
I can't understand, I can't understand...
Logically speaking, the Shanyu Protectorate is Xiao Siye's territory. Only with the presence of this Protectorate can he have such a long history and realize his aspirations and ambitions.
So these Turks who are under the control at this moment are his "subjects", and they must be preserved as much as possible, so that he can make a difference.
Otherwise, if all the Turks are dead, why would there be any need for the Shanyu Protectorate to exist?
His long history is even more like a polished general...
However, Xiao Siye didn't think so.
This time he returned to Chang'an, where he had been away for many years, and saw the prosperous Chang'an in Guanzhong. The life of indulgence and luxury had already made him deeply fascinated. Returning to Dingxiang was really forced, even if he was willing to give up his dignity.
But you have to find an excuse after all, right?
Are you afraid of hardship and tiredness, so you don’t want to go back to Dingxiang?
He couldn't say it or do it.
If you don’t want to stay in Dingxiang and have enough excuses...
Xiao Siye's eyes flashed with cold light.
The guard general of Yanmen Pass stood behind Xiao Siye. Seeing Xue Yantuo's cavalry rushing towards them like dark clouds in the distance, while the Turks under the pass were still crying in confusion, he immediately ordered: "Open the gate, five hundred cavalry will go out of the city to maintain order, and then
Let the Turks enter the customs. If there are any who disrupt the order first, they will be killed without mercy!"
The Eastern Turkic Khanate was supported by the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks were now loyal allies of the Tang Dynasty. They could not sit back and watch them being massacred by Xue Yantuo and ignore them.
"promise!"
The deputy general responded, then turned around to convey the order.
"no!"
Xiao Siye spoke suddenly, stopped the deputy general, then looked at the guard general and said: "You can't open the door!"
