Chapter 889 Attacking the Turks
Chapter 889 Attacking the Turks
Turkic and Khitan border.
A large number of cavalry, stretching for ten miles, came galloping.
The three cavalry units were dressed completely differently.
The cavalry on the left were wearing felt hats and copper armor. There were about 13,000 of them, holding scimitars in their hands and looking very aggressive.
The cavalry on the right was the smallest, numbering about 3,000 men. They wore standard Zhou armor and had spears hanging on their victory hooks.
The cavalry in the middle were the largest in number and the most imposing. They all wore heavy armor with animal heads and masks, and were covered in black heavy armor. The horses they rode were all good horses picked from hundreds of miles away, and everyone held a spear.
The three cavalry units advanced at the same time with great momentum. The Turkic camp guarding near the border was directly broken through before they even received any news from the scouts.
By the time the scouts desperately rushed back to report the news, the camp had already turned into a sea of fire.
The leader of the Leopard Division had his neck cut off by a knife and was hanging diagonally on the neck. His body was pierced by a spear and nailed to the ground.
The 16,000-strong army was completely wiped out.
Even the two thousand most brave and battle-hardened cavalrymen were killed directly, and no one survived.
Inside the camp where flames shot up into the sky, the only sound left was the neighing of war horses.
That night, several fire dragons appeared on the border, and the Khitan army, led by Li Wanshan, launched an invasion of the Turks.
This was the first time that the Khitan attacked the Turks after the Chongzhou case ended. The three cavalry units tore through the gap and entered the Turkic territory.
The bad news of the three cavalry troops invading the Turkic territory soon reached the ears of Wuqi Jin of the Five Dulu Tribes.
The five Turkic Dulu tribes were the closest to the Khitan. If the Khitan army invaded the Turks, they would be the first to bear the brunt and would definitely be beaten to a pulp.
The six eagle divisions surrounding the five Dulu tribes immediately took action and kept a close eye on the area around the five Dulu tribes.
The five highest nobles of the five Dulu tribes, Shijin, gathered together.
"The Khitan took the initiative to provoke the war. It seems they are planning to reap some benefits while we are fighting the Great Zhou."
"What the hell are you talking about? They are so presumptuous, we absolutely cannot let them off easily!"
"That's right. I think we can ask His Majesty the Khan for permission to join forces and make sure these Khitan dogs die without a burial place!"
"I second the proposal. Completely destroy the Khitan and incorporate them into our Turkic territory. This is what we should do!"
"Yes, we Turks are now attacking the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is powerless to stop us and is being beaten back step by step. They don't even dare to leave Chongzhou. We can fight on two fronts and capture the Khitan at the same time as attacking the Tang Dynasty."
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"Well, in that case, let us advise His Majesty to seize Khitan's territory!"
……
A hundred cavalrymen on fast horses left the five Dulu tribes and headed towards the Turkic Yazhang Stone Kingdom.
On the way, they met the Iron Harriers who were eyeing them covetously, and were hacked to death by the Iron Harriers' scouts.
The scouts found a secret letter from the highest nobles of the five Dulu tribes to Helu from these people and handed it to Buzhen.
After reading the secret letter, Bu Zhen passed it to Sun Xiangzhou and Huang Zhen who were beside him.
"The five Dulu tribes are determined to launch an attack on the Khitan. Our original purpose of having the Supreme Khan invade the Turks and ignite an all-out war has ended here."
"Now, all His Majesty the Khan needs to do is attack the five tribes of Dulu to tie down Helu's large number of soldiers."
"I think, Marshal Sun, we can send someone to see His Majesty the Supreme Khan and ask His Majesty the Supreme Khan to send troops to attack the five tribes of Dulu."
Sun Xiangzhou took another look at Bu Zhen and thought to himself that being born in the Turkic race was different.
This is really a deep hatred. They will fight to the death as soon as they get the chance.
According to Bu Zhen's strategy, if Li Wanshan attacked the five tribes of Dulu, Helu only needed to send people to relieve the siege of the five tribes of Dulu, and their more than 30,000 cavalry would have a lot of room to play.
Furthermore, they could directly attack Helu's old nest, Yazhangshi Kingdom, and pull Helu out of his stinky bed and capture him alive.
To take a step back, they could also join forces with Li Wanshan to defeat any Turkic army that came to support the five Dulu tribes.
"Then... prepare for a massacre!"
……
There are also fifteen Eagle Divisions and six Leopard Divisions in the Turkic territory.
After the five Eagle Divisions responsible for guarding the five Dulu tribes were mobilized, the news of the border Leopard Division's defeat also spread to the Turkic Yazhang Stone Kingdom.
The Shi Kingdom was the territory of the Nuyibi tribe and also the territories of successive Khans. Helu asked his generals to bring two leopard divisions and five eagle divisions to guard him, which was considered a tight defense.
But today was different. While he was handling government affairs, he suddenly received urgent news from the border and the five Dulu tribes.
It is clearly stated above that a cavalry unit of more than 30,000 people broke through the border defense line and tore a hole in the border between the Turks and Khitans.
One of the four Leopard Division armies responsible for guarding the border defense line had been completely wiped out, and the Khitan army entered through this and attacked the five Dulu tribes.
"Li Wanshan!"
"you wanna die!"
Helu had a gloomy face.
He never thought that the Khitan, who had lost the Supreme Khan Li Jinzhong and the Khitan Army Marshal Sun Wanrong, would dare to challenge the Turks.
You know, in the Battle of Chongzhou in the past, the Khitan lost tens of thousands of elite troops in one battle, which was a heavy loss.
After that, Sun Wanrong died again.
Such a Khitan was simply unable to fight against other countries.
Therefore, when Helu chose to start a war with the Great Zhou, he only symbolically mobilized four Leopard Division armies to the border as a show.
Little did he know that the Khitan would actually dare to launch another attack, targeting his five Dulu tribes.
"Prime Minister, please take a look at this and give me a solution."
After Helu got angry, he began to ask Yuzhou for advice.
Yu Zhou pretended to finish reading the intelligence and was very happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he pretended to be bitter and resentful.
After a long while, he finally sighed.
"Khan, in my opinion, 30,000 cavalrymen are just a gimmick."
"Let's not even talk about the Khitan's current strength. Could they possibly deploy 30,000 cavalrymen at the start of a war? Just think of Li Wanshan and Sun Xiangzhou. Do they really dare to risk the last of their national might against us?"
"The only thing I believe is that someone broke through the border defenses and led troops to cause trouble for the Five Tribes of Dulu."
"And this person is Li Wanshan from Khitan!"
"And the Khitans definitely don't have the courage to deploy 30,000 cavalry!"
"The Khitan cavalry and other cavalry are two completely different types of soldiers. They can't be put together at all."
Helu thought about it carefully and found that what Yuzhou said was right.
As the most elite army of the Khitan, the Tuqi had absolutely powerful strength.
The only ones who can cooperate with the Tuqi are other elite cavalry.
Judging from the current combat capability of the Khitan cavalry, it is extremely difficult to keep up with the Turkic cavalry, and they are completely hindering the Turkic cavalry.
Therefore, the statement that 30,000 Khitan cavalrymen broke into the Leopard Division camp is complete nonsense.
The Khitan had only 13,000 cavalry at most, where did the 30,000 cavalry come from?
