Just when Wang Junlin wanted to go back to his tent and start practicing the nameless skills given by Changkuzi, he suddenly saw a monk wearing a red cassock, with a red face and as fat as a pig, surrounded by four monks in gray robes.
Go down, pass by them, and walk towards the depths of the Hurunubi tribe.
"My lord, this fat monk is Master Suodaji of the Hurunubi tribe. His temple is on the low mountain in the west. If Hurunubi does not summon him, this monk rarely comes here. He is the only one who has fought in the tribe.
He will come over and perform rituals for the Turks who died in the war." The person who spoke was the person in charge of Wang Junlin's caravan, and he was actually a businessman whom Wang Junlin secretly selected from among the refugees.
This guy's name is Deng Yuzhuo. He was originally a big businessman in Gaolan County, Jincheng County. But he was unlucky. In the war last year, he was robbed and killed by Tuyuhun before he could lead his family and belongings to evacuate to Jincheng County.
They killed his whole family and robbed him of all his belongings. The reason why he survived was because he knew how to settle accounts. There was a leader in Tuyuhun who wanted to keep him to settle accounts for himself.
Later, the Sui army defeated King Bailan of Tuguhun, but the leader did not care about Deng Yuzhuo, so he took the opportunity to escape and ran to Gaotai City and became a refugee.
Wang Junlin was able to know that this guy was a big businessman because he had a centurion leader who recognized Deng Yuzhuo when he passed by the refugee camp.
Of course, Wang Junlin recruited him secretly, otherwise how could he make money for Wang Junlin and at the same time find out information.
For Deng Yuzhuo, who had nothing, Wang Junlin not only gave him a chance to survive again, but also gave him a chance to regain his former wealth. Coupled with Wang Junlin's prestige, this guy had initially established an interest in Wang Junlin.
Loyalty can be said to be Wang Junlin's biggest cash cow today.
Wang Junlin was also very generous. He never treated Deng Yuzhuo like the nobles of this era treated their own servants. Instead, he directly gave Deng Yuzhuo 10% of his membership, which made Deng Yuzhuo completely devoted to him and devoted himself to making money for Wang Junlin and himself. For most of the past six months
Later, he married a daughter-in-law who was twenty years younger than himself in Gaotaicheng. Wang Junlin heard that she was pregnant with a baby, so he tied her to Gaotaicheng.
The Bon master named Sardin of the Ashina tribe made himself like an ascetic. In addition to liking to offer sacrifices and burn things, his food, shelter, food, and transportation were not as good as those of the hardest-working herdsmen.
It is also a way of practice in Bon religion to hone one's will and strengthen one's faith. This is actually the same reason that Tibetan Buddhist believers in later generations can kneel down and travel hundreds of miles to Lhasa to pay homage to the Living Buddha.
But Master Suodaji of the Khulunubi tribe is just the opposite. Among other things, when you look at the old monk, his face is red and as fat as a pig. The cassock on his body actually has gold thread patterns. There are actually four monks following behind him.
It can be seen from his servants and the splendid temple on the west mountain of the Hurunubi tribe.
Khuru Nubi called Master Sodaji here because he wanted to discuss with him about joining forces with Ashina to deal with Tongyehu Khan and King Bodo.
Khuru Nubi never doubted that someone would blame him for his assassination, because he was the only survivor of the previous Western Turkic royal family. He had a life-or-death feud with Tong Yehu Khan and the Bodo Dharma King for the annihilation of the clan, not to mention the fact that he was the one who was assassinated.
The arrows were indeed the arrows used by Tongyehu's headquarters. All these factors made him immediately target the people of Tongyehu Khan and King Bodo.
More importantly, this is not the first time Tongyehu Khan and King Bodo have used this method. When the two of them made a coup before, they used assassination to kill Chuluo Khan first, so that the confidants loyal to Chuluo Khan could be killed.
That's why they defeated the leader of the tribe's dragons so quickly and seized the royal court.
Therefore, from Khuru Nubi's point of view, the assassination he received this time was just a reuse of the same tactics of Tong Yehu Khan and Bodo Dharma King. It was just that Khuru Nubi was lucky enough to not be killed.
If it weren't for the fact that he only had 80,000 warriors under his command who could mount a horse and kill the enemy, and his strength was only one-third of Tong Yehu Khan's, he would have led his army to kill him long ago. Now he can only team up with Ashina to deal with this bastard Tong Yehu.
.
Just when Hurunubi was gathering troops and horses to prepare for war at any time, the spies he sent reported that Tong Yehu personally led an army of 200,000 to attack the Ashina tribe, and then the messenger sent by Ashina also came.
, Hurunubi agreed to the Ashina envoy's request without hesitation and ordered the army to set off to rescue the Ashina tribe.
…
…
Just when Ashina had completed the mobilization and deployment of the war, Tongyehu Khan led an army of 200,000 and came over in a mighty manner. The mountains and plains were filled with the singing of the royal cavalry: "Suppress the infidels, defeat the rebels, and put them to death."
Eradicate them by their roots and seize everything they have! Riding on the pagan horses and using their beautiful women as your pajamas and cushions is the greatest joy of a warrior..."
Since the coup more than half a year ago in Western Turkestan, the biggest civil war has become inevitable!
Tong Yehu Khan originally wanted to catch the opponent by surprise as much as possible, but he also knew that it was impossible for Ashina to be unprepared, because since Ashina had sent people to poison their fodder, he would definitely prevent the incident from being exposed.
After that, he was crazy about revenge, so in order to listen to the opinions of King Bodo, he simply asked all the soldiers to sing songs composed by King Bodo himself. This not only built up morale, but also made these warriors' faith in Nestorianism even stronger invisibly.
Sure enough, when Tong Yehu led the army to arrive, they saw that the Ashina tribe had already prepared their troops.
The Turks never say that they should be polite first and then attack when fighting. Since they have already broken their skins, they can just start fighting without any nonsense.
In Tong Yehu Khan's view, he has 200,000 cavalry, while Ashina only has 100,000 cavalry, which is twice the strength of the opponent. Even on the opponent's territory, he has an absolute advantage in strength. This
In the battle, he must kill Ashina. As for Bodo Dharma King, he must kill Master Sardin and the most closely adherent group of Bon believers, so that all the hundreds of thousands of people in the Ashina tribe will eventually become
They are Nestorian followers.
The arrows roared, and the shouts of death rushed into the night.
On the spring grassland, people were on their backs, with swords and guns raised. People kept letting out pitiful screams, but they were suppressed by even louder cries of killing.
The cavalry charges and tries to fight through the opponent. This is the most commonly used and favorite tactic of the Turkic cavalry. Therefore, the tactics of the two tribes are the same, using offense instead of defense. In this way, they can kill
Extremely brutal.
Tong Yehu Khan stood at the back of the battlefield on a high hillside to watch the battle, thinking that he would directly kill the Ashina tribe today. Behind the latter were women, children, old and young. Although it aroused the desperate desire of the Ashina tribe warriors,
But it also prevented the Ashina tribe's cavalry from charging too far, which effectively tied all the Ashina tribe's warriors here. Instead, I could fight if I wanted to, and retreat if I didn't.
At the same time, Kurunubi led 80,000 cavalry from the southeast. He planned to suddenly attack from the side and rear while Ashina and Tongyehu were fighting fiercely, and raid Tongyehu Khan's rear.
military.
Everything in this battle went as planned by Wang Junlin, Changsun Sheng, and Changsun Wuji, and the war became more and more intense...
Tongyehu Khan relied on the strength of his numbers to attack Ashina's tribe unscrupulously. Ashina's tribe had no city walls, not even a fence. Although the warriors fought tooth and nail to protect their homeland, there were still
Several places were finally broken through. The fierce soldiers of the Wangting tribe rushed into the Ashina tribe. The old, weak, women and children ran away crying. The warriors of the Ashina tribe fought back desperately. However, they were outnumbered and the war situation was difficult to reverse.
, unless reinforcements appear.
However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves was rapid, the sound of strings was like tens of thousands of bees, and the sharp arrows that covered the sky were shot from behind Tongyehu Khan's army. Hulu Nubi finally rushed with 80,000 horses.
arrive.
Khulunubi wanted revenge. Usually he had too few troops to defeat Tong Yehu. Now he had the opportunity to join forces with Ashina and attack from the rear, so he came quickly and urgently. Tong Yehu Khan's soldiers
The generals originally deployed soldiers and horses to defend the rear, but when the Ashina tribe was defeated, the soldiers behind them couldn't wait to rush forward. Just kidding, the Turks only have one purpose in fighting, to rob property and women
, now that the Ashina tribe has been defeated, the rich and silk women will be plundered by them. How tempting is this? If you just stick to the rear, won't you end up empty-handed? Therefore, after a commotion in Tong Yehu Khan's rear army, they can't wait
He rushed forward, and just at this moment Hurunubi led his army to kill him.
Arrows rained down like rain, and Tong Yehu Khan's army, which was caught off guard, fell one after another like lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
After two rounds of ejection, Kurunubi and 80,000 cavalry rushed forward fiercely. In a melee, the two sides were entangled, roaring and shouting, and blood spurted out. Even in the night and chaos, these Western Turks
, and can also skillfully form a group of three or five people, cooperate with each other, and charge in small teams. On the vast and vast grassland, there are dots of torches, and the three parties of horses and horses clash with each other, fighting endlessly.
The Ashina side, who were retreating to the core, saw Kurunubi arriving with 80,000 reinforcements. Their morale was immediately boosted, and they immediately mustered up their courage to launch a counterattack. The two sides continued to go through each other, and a battle of nearly 400,000 cavalry
The melee of the war began, like a pack of wild wolves fighting on the grassland.
On this day, I don’t know how many living lives of Western Turks will be buried on this grassland... This is what the Emperor of Sui Dynasty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the two chief and deputy envoys Wang Junlin and Changsun Sheng have been planning for a long time.
The ultimate goal, and now it seems that this strategic goal has been successfully achieved.
