Chapter 176: The tragic Yi lost the bowl
“Thanks to super fanatic 123 for tipping”
"Go south to the Central Plains and conquer Chang'an!"
"Go south to the Central Plains and conquer Chang'an!"
Listening to the thunderous voice, Jieli Khan was filled with satisfaction. He narrowed his eyes and was about to give the order to march. However, at this moment, Yi Nan, the eldest son of Xue Yantuo Khan Yi Shibo, was carried away by several soldiers.
Come up.
Yishubo was in his fifties, tall and extremely strong. He was originally the leader of the Xue tribe. From the age of twenty, he led his warriors to continuously invade the Yantuo tribe, gradually annexing them, and finally formed the Tiele tribe.
The most powerful Xue Yantuo tribe has a total of more than 500,000 people and more than 100,000 followers.
He has three sons, the eldest son Yi Nan, the second son Xue Luo, and the third son Xue Fang. The eldest son Yi Nan is the heir to the throne of Khan and sits in the headquarters. The second son and third son are all by his side and in charge of the army for him.
At this time, Yi Nan was no longer the tall and powerful young man that Yi Shubo knew. He was so powerful that he could swallow up mountains. Instead, his face was sallow, his breath was weak, and he looked like he was weak at any time.
Maybe it's like he's dying.
"My son, what's wrong with you?" Yi Shibo was frightened and felt like the world was falling apart.
"Father Khan, the tribe is gone. The tribe was robbed by the Sui army..." Yi Nan spoke feebly and briefly told the story.
Compared with the Tongluo tribe, which was closed in the Kent Valley, Xue Yantuo paid great attention to vigilance. After Yi Shubo left the headquarters, Yi Nan regarded defense as the top priority. When the Sui army attacked, Yi Nan immediately
After getting the news, they dug trenches around the tribe and blocked them with fences. The gaps in the fences were blocked with wooden boards. It was a complete design for cavalry and crossbows.
Qin Qiong knew that the enemy was on defense, so he simply attacked with torches held high that night. Twenty thousand soldiers held two torches, forming a huge winding fire dragon, frightening the enemy with the unexpected military power.
The momentum of the Sui army made it difficult for Yi Nan to sleep and eat, and then a raging fire started, as if he would fight the Sui army to the end.
With the help of the light in the opponent's tribe, Qin Qiong saw the situation of Xue Yantuo's tribe in full view. Qin Qiong thought of what Cao GUI said in his debate: "War is about courage. It can be done in one go, then weakened, and three times exhausted.", and thought that the other party was in order to fight the Sui Dynasty.
In order to protect his family and country, the morale of the army was at a high level. At this time, when he attacked, he happened to encounter the enemy's sharp front, so he ordered the torches to be extinguished and rested on standby. He hoped to wait until Xue Yantuo's momentum declined before launching a forceful attack.
Looking at the mighty army, Yi Nan had already prepared the encouragement before the war. He used the bad situation to inspire the tribe's desire to fight to the death. He also used the concept of protecting the family to incite the bravery of the tribe's soldiers, thus destroying the entire tribe.
Morale is boosted.
result……
All the opponent's torches were extinguished, leaving him only a pitch-black night. Only then did Yi Nan realize that the military tactics and tactics he had learned were far behind those of the Central Plains people who were familiar with military forces.
As the son of a Khan who had just become a powerful man, Yi Nan was at a loss and his self-confidence was greatly affected. He wanted to resist and lead his people out of the tribe, but he didn't know how many enemies there were and where they were. If
If he goes out, he will definitely become the opponent's living shoe. For a moment, Yi Nan has nothing to do. In the end, the tribe's morale and fighting spirit disappear little by little, and the last chance to turn around is lost.
When Xue Yantuo lost all fighting spirit, the Sui army launched its offensive. Qin Qiong first fired a series of powerful crossbows, and then Niu Jinda led the heavy armored infantry as the vanguard.
Sure enough, Xue Yantuo dropped so many arrow feathers that Qin Qiong was slightly shocked. Almost all of their arrow feathers were scattered among the soldiers, and there were very few misses. Without certain skills, this would never be possible.
The reputation of prairie people as good archers is definitely not in vain.
But those at the front were the heavy armored infantry. They held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. They crouched and hid themselves in the shield like a turtle.
As the only shield-bearing unit, they have been trained in this area for a long time. Even if an arrow hits their body, it will be blocked by the heavy armor blades. At most, they will only suffer some flesh injuries. Only a few unlucky people will be injured.
The arrow feathers passed through the gap in the shield, hitting a vital point and falling to the ground.
After paying the price of more than a hundred people, the Sui army approached the camp.
The defense facilities of the camp were really crude. Niu Jinda just kicked a fence and crashed to the ground. He broke into the camp first, and the soldiers behind him skillfully destroyed the remaining fence to facilitate the entry of the army from behind.
There was almost no suspense in this battle. Yi Nan tried every means to stop the Sui army, but when he gathered a large number of troops for a frontal confrontation, the Sui army's ten thousand-man squadron launched a fatal attack from the other three sides. In the end, the only one
The only way out is to fight and flee.
There was a "pop" sound.
Yi Shibo knelt down heavily. He never expected that due to his greed, he took away most of the troops. As a result, in this cold winter, he actually heard the news of breaking the clan. At this moment, he
His heart was broken. Without the support of the tribe, he was like a floating duck without roots. After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Where are the tribesmen?"
"Die, run away, scatter!" Yi Nan said with tears in his eyes: "The Sui army left, and they burned down the entire tribe's supplies! Tribesmen
Even if we can escape for a while, we cannot escape this freezing winter."
"King Khan, you have to make the decision for us, Xue Yantuo!" Yishubo, an old man in his fifties, burst into tears.
Under the pressure of Shibi Khan, he swung the butcher knife at the Qibi, Uighur, and Hun tribes. Although it was a helpless move, the three Tiele tribes who were harmed by him would not think so. They hated them so much.
It was because of Yishubao, the executioner who attacked his own people, that he decided to form an alliance to fight against Xue Yantuo and the Turks!
Yishubo knew that the rift could not be repaired, so he simply agreed to Jieli Khan and married his daughter, preparing for Jieli's power to completely annex Tiele. This time, in order to seek Jieli's support and the wealth of the Central Plains
, under the instigation of Jieli Khan, he mobilized 90% of his subordinates to attack and evacuate in one breath. However, before any action was taken here, the Sui army destroyed the rear area in one fell swoop, and all the cattle, sheep, and horses became the trophies of the other side.
Thinking that I have worked hard for many years and lost almost half of it, my heart is so cold.
Looking at his new father-in-law, Jie Li also felt sympathy. He gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, the Sui Dynasty and I are irreconcilable. Your hatred is the hatred in my heart. I will definitely make the Sui Dynasty pay a heavy price."
The price. I will appease your people. And as long as we go south to make a profit, I will give you 10% of the supplies." He deliberately mentioned the Sui army and 10% of the supplies, just to arouse Yi Shubo's common hatred and greed.
Heart, let him stay and fight southward with him.
Yishubo shook his head sadly and said: "The tribe was destroyed, and the clansmen were killed and their bodies were exposed in the wilderness. Those who were lucky enough to escape were homeless. If they were not gathered and resettled, they would not be able to survive. This is all because of my greed.
This big mistake has been made. If I don't go back to make amends, how can I face my father? I hope King Khan will approve it, and I will withdraw my troops and go back to gather the scattered tribesmen to prepare for this damn winter."
The nest was kicked, and Xue Yantuo suffered heavy losses in economic and material supplies. He will definitely not be able to successfully survive the winter that is about a month away. At present, he can only go back to gather the people and borrow some supplies from the brother tribes. How many people can he receive and how long can he survive?
How many people will go down, we can only leave it to fate.
Jieli sighed: "Be careful along the way. You suffered this loss because of me. I, Jieli, will give you a certain amount of compensation to help you survive this winter. I will first give you one hundred thousand sheepskins and one hundred thousand sheep.
