Chapter 2122 National wars, battles, and battles for hegemony!
Several more encounters were fought in the territory of the Uighur Kingdom in Xizhou. Although the Qi Dynasty inevitably suffered casualties among its generals, they all achieved great victories. Finally, the Qi Dynasty Emperor Xiao Tang's military record was also in the army.
They passed Yumen Pass under the escort, and in addition to other military brigades that patrolled the surrounding areas and protected logistics supplies, more than 200,000 troops were assembled and advanced towards Yizhou.
Yelv Dashi of the Western Liao Empire also mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to enter the Xizhou Uighur territory. After several outpost encounters, the two sides roughly figured out each other's marching direction. From the Qi Dynasty and the Western Liao Empire, the two empires entered into each other's territory.
They covet each other's territory and are bound to seize hegemony in East Asia and Central Asia. Their huge armies are also rapidly approaching, and they are about to meet in the vast Gobi Desert a hundred miles south of Yizhou...
Over in the Western Liao Empire, Xiao Uuli, the king of the Six Academy Division, was gathered to recruit deputy envoy Yelu Song, deputy privy envoy Xiao Chaci Abu, and emissary Yelv Shuxue...etc. were promoted and promoted by Yelu Dashi, and
For the restoration and rise of the Liao Empire, he had gone through many battles to dominate the Central Asian region, and he was already a battle-experienced warrior. Yelu Dashi almost commanded this team, and defeated Khorasan summoned by the Seljuk Sultan.
, Ghazni, Sighistan, Ghazna, Mazenland, Gur and other *** countries, and came to crusade against the more than 100,000 troops launched by the "heretics" in Xiliao.
Among the troops clustered around the Yelu Dashi, the heavy cavalry seemed to be equipped with armor according to the standard equipment of the Tielin Army of the Liao Dynasty, while the light cavalry was equipped with sharp cavalry troops based on the Liao Dynasty's Yuanzi Army. The rest of the Khitan tribe in the Western Liao Dynasty
The clothes and armor of the descendants are also very similar to the original Liao Dynasty clothes and armor system, which is enough to show that Yelu Dashi was still ambitious at this time and was bound to regain his homeland.
The rest of the troops forming a dense military formation have various styles of clothing and armor. They have Turkic-style pointed neck helmets on their heads, and the front-line army horses are equipped with onion-shaped iron war hammers.
Armor made of sophisticated heavy-duty armor, such as iron pagodas, iron kites, chain horses and other heavy cavalry, can generally be used as a weapon to break the formation of the Karakhan heavy cavalry;
The Xizhou Uighur horse infantry troops are equipped with arm armor, as well as shoulder protectors and leg skirts. There are also tribes originally from the Kyrgyz grasslands who ride Turkic horses and Arabian horses, and are equipped with Damascus swords and Arabian scimitars for both infantry and cavalry use.
; And the armor is a mixture of Chinese and Eastern armor styles, and the soldiers and horses of the Khwarezm Kingdom were also ordered by the Western Liao Empire to send troops to coordinate the battle...
The Western Liao Empire's grand formation assembled troops that looked mighty in appearance. Most of the generals were equipped with spears, double-edged straight swords, and curved scimitars. Their armor was usually made of large sheets of metal. The style was similar to that of the Middle Ages.
*The armies are very similar.
According to Zhemo's official history, the Second Crusade will start in the west in a few years. These are used by the Western Liao Dynasty and are equipped with soldiers with the same uniforms and weapons.
It will also lead to the final failure of the Eastern Expedition launched by France and the Holy Roman Empire. But now, the countries in Central Asia and West Asia united by the Seljuk Empire have been defeated by Yelu Dashi, so that his deeds
When it spread to Europe, it was regarded as the priest John who ruled the mysterious country, and was exaggerated as the defender of Christianity... Although this was a spiritual sustenance after the Crusades failed many times, and Yelv Dashi was against domestic Buddhism,*
Sects such as Christianity, Judaism, Manichaeism... and even Nestorianism have maintained an open and tolerant national policy. Now they are able to attract various forces, and they are bound to fight to the death with Xiao Tang.
Therefore, Yelu Dashi made up his mind, no matter how powerful the Qi Dynasty was, he could only take advantage of now if he wanted to seize the opportunity to win back to his homeland of the Liao Dynasty!
However, although Yelu Dashi was destined to be obtained, how could Xiao Tang be easily provoked?
For this large-scale battle that is about to begin, the Qi Dynasty has assembled Han Shizhong, Yang Zaixing, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, Hu Yanzhuo, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, Shi Bao, Shi Jin, Zhang Qing, Du Bo, Yuan Lang, Wang Yin...
Many other founding fathers and generals, including Yang Yizhong, Wang De, and even Zhang Xian, Yue Yun, Niu Gao, etc., who commanded several elite brigades in the Yue family army, and even the queen general who escorted a supply of logistics food and fodder, were also
Wu Lin, Guo Hao, and Yang Zheng, the elite troops of Sichuan and Shaanxi commanded by the three great generals in Shu...
In addition to Gao Biao, Pu Cha Shijie and other generals from the Bohai and Jurchen ethnic groups, almost all the famous generals assembled by the Qi Dynasty were composed of Han family members, and they were going to conquer various countries with Yelu Dashi one after another.
The mixed army of tribes fights to the death.
The Gobi area, almost covered with sand and stones, with few plants and seemingly desolate, looked vast and vast, and the world was filled with a majestic and desolate atmosphere. Not long after, the smoke and dust on the horizons on the north and south sides could not be hidden.
Slowly rising, Qi Dynasty and Xiliao each took the lead to resist the sentry troops and horses coming here, and they could already see each other's traces in the distance.
Among the troops under Zhang Qing's command in the south, the commander of the Qi army, who was leading a group of sentinel Qingqi, looked around. His pair of moves looked coldly at the ant-shaped Xiliao Qingqi on the opposite horizon.
He did not order his soldiers to attack the opponent, but after identifying the enemy's tracks, he immediately called a military officer next to him to urge his horse back to report the military situation.
At the same time, there were forty or fifty sentinels and horses pacing back and forth to report the sound. Within a few miles, Qi Dynasty and Xiliao both rode lightly on the Gobi Desert, raising up clouds of smoke and dust, just like worker ants walking back and forth frequently.
The news of the discovery of the target was passed on to the rear troops, until ant colonies so large that they seemed to be able to swallow elephants came rolling in. The large-scale battle led by Xiao Tang and Yelu Dashi began with great vigor.
...
After two or three cups of tea in Zhemo, thunder surged in the sky, just like the muffled rumble in the dark clouds before countless deafening thunderstorms in a thunderstorm. However, the billowing yellow smoke on both sides of the horizon
The sound became louder and more intense, rising into the sky and turning into clouds of yellow clouds. Various horn sounds sounded one after another, echoing endlessly in this vast Gobi. The armies of both sides were fighting each other.
The generals of the battalion led their personal cavalry guards to gallop forward. The people and horses of the large groups gathered and saw that they were about to gather into a large formation. When the formation moved, not only did the solemn and murderous air rise into the sky, but the north and south sides rolled up.
The yellow sand and dust storm only lasted for a while, and it was like two groups of sandstorms that were threatening to spread all over the sky and were approaching quickly!
And Xiao Tang and Yelu Dashi, each under the protection of their own royal guards, were heading in the direction where the armies of both sides quickly gathered into formation and looked at each other in the distance. On the open Gobi plains, two men were filled with murderous intent.
The huge military formations were slowly mobilized and arrived one after another until all the armies of both sides were formed. The commanders of each other's armies were also the supreme rulers of their respective empires. In the Qi Dynasty and the Western Liao Dynasty, both emperors enjoyed supreme power and prestige.
Arrive at the battlefield, raise your arms and give the order, and this massive battle will begin immediately!
