Chapter 152 The Battle of Weakness

That night, Kumo Xi's envoy entered the Western Turkic camp again and made an appointment with them for a battle tomorrow.

"My chief wants to have a decisive battle with the Khan tomorrow, but because he is weak and blocked by the water, I ask the Turks to retreat three miles and allow him to cross the river to form an array, so as not to scare the Khan and worry about the Xi tribe attacking him halfway across the river."

Messenger Xi said the most arrogant words in a humble tone.

This also angered a group of Turks in the tent. In the previous confrontations, they had already tested Kumo's arrogance, and Apo Khan Daluo, who had committed the crime of arrogance, snorted coldly:

"Go back and tell Ahui Lusu that the Turks on the battlefield don't know what retreat means. Let him retreat five miles by himself. I will give him a chance to attack halfway across the battlefield!"

After that, the envoy was driven out of the camp again.

The ministers of the Western Turks did not think there was anything wrong. Since Daluo raised their troops, they have won many battles. Shabolu Khan took a photo and did not dare to stay in Mobei anymore. He abandoned the royal court and ran away with his head in his arms.

He defected to the Sui Dynasty.

They did not think that the weak Kumoxi people could pose any threat to them.

The next day, September 12th, the seventh year of Kaihuang's reign (AD 587), early in the morning.

As promised last night, the Kumoxi people retreated three miles to leave space for the Western Turkic army to cross the river and form an array.

The Turkic sentries passed the pontoon bridge that had been set up before, and after confirming that there was no Kumoxi ambush on the east bank, they sent a signal to the other bank.

Although Daluo was arrogant, he did not relax his vigilance. After receiving the signal, the entire army began to cross the river in an orderly manner.

The first was the 30,000 people at the front. After they crossed the river, they turned their backs to the weak river and formed a half-moon formation to prevent the Kumoxi people from actually attacking them halfway across the river.

Knowing that the Kumoxi people did not come forward to interfere and allowed the front to form the formation calmly, Apo Khan Daluo laughed with his cronies on the left and right:

"Ahui Lusu is brave but not wise. Our army will win this battle!"

Upon hearing this, the trusted ministers rushed to praise him, which made Daluo's heart soar even higher.

Just like He Liuhun before the battle in Shayuan.

Apo Khan Daluo then boosted morale and said:

"All units of the Chinese army, follow me across the weak river, completely defeat Kumoxi, and plunder their livestock and property! Let the men be our herders and the women our slaves!"

The morale of the Western Turkic soldiers was high in an instant. With the fantasy of plundering Kumoxi, they followed Daluo and set foot on the pontoon bridge.

Kumo Xi sentry cavalry saw the movement of the Western Turkic Army and hurried back to report.

When Ahui Lusu heard the news, he immediately led more than 80,000 Kumoxi soldiers to advance according to the battle plan informed by Zhao Mu yesterday.

Abo Khan Daluo had just landed ashore and heard that the Kumo Xi people were approaching. He dismissed it and said:

"Previously, when our army was not firmly established, Ah Hui Lusu did not seize the opportunity. Now that the former army has established a firm foothold and is ready for battle, it is still trying to attack halfway across the border. Hmph! It's courting death!"

Less than half of the 100,000-strong Chinese army had now crossed over, and Kumoxi's military formation had just appeared in sight of the Western Turks.

Just as Da Luo was commanding the sergeants crossing the river to form an array, there was a faint noise coming from the west bank of the weak Luo River behind him.

Daluo's heart tightened. When he turned around and looked around, he saw people on the other side shouting, and two groups of cavalry, one from the south and one from the north, were attacking the Western Turkic troops stranded on the west bank.

One group is wearing Sui black armor, with a clear flag, or has the word "Sui" written on it, or has the word "Cui" embroidered on it.

Although the other group held the flags and drums of the Sui people, looking at their clothes, they were clearly Eastern Turkic cavalry.

It was Cui Che and the Eastern Turkic Allied Forces.

The army on the west bank was preparing to cross the river without forming a formation. When they saw the Sui army and the Eastern Turks approaching, they panicked.

Apo Khan Daluo had already gone to the east bank. The rear army commander on the west bank could not command the Chinese soldiers who had not yet crossed the river. They ran around in panic and even scattered the rear army formation.

Daluo could only watch the Sui army and the East Turks wantonly rush and kill the soldiers on the west bank, but he could do nothing and could only worry.

The pontoon was crowded with soldiers from the Western Turks who were crossing the river. Many people were even pushed into the river. It was impossible for him to cross the weak water and go to the west bank to command the battle in person.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that yesterday the Kumoxi people were using a provocative method, which was to use the weak water to divide the Western Turkic army into the east and west.

Daluo seemed to have a premonition of something, his vision went dark, and he almost fainted.

On the west bank of the weak river, Cui Che divided the 30,000 cavalry into four groups. Zhang Wu led Boling's 3,000 cavalry, Wang Dangwan led the cavalry from Yan and Heng prefectures, and Liu Fang led the cavalry from Ping, Xuan and Yi prefectures.

, Cui Che personally led five thousand knights in Youzhou, and four groups of Sui armies interspersed wantonly among the Turkic rebels.

Without unified command, the panicked Turks were unable to organize an effective defense.

The Eastern Turks Mohe Khan Chuluohou also waved his saber wantonly in the formation. Since the Eastern Turks split, under the leadership of Shabolu Khan Photography, they have suffered repeated defeats. The once invincible Western Turks have now

However, they were vulnerable to a single blow. Not only Chuluohou, but also the Eastern Turkic soldiers rose up to kill, vowing to wash away the shame of the past few years.

The defeat on the west bank soon spread to the east bank. Even Daluo ordered his soldiers not to turn back, intending to defeat the approaching Kumoxi people first and then turn around to rescue them.

But the cries, howls, and cries for help from the other side of the river still reached the ears of the soldiers on the east bank.

After seeing the massacre of the army on the west bank, how could the soldiers on the east bank still have fighting spirit?

His cronies also persuaded Daluo to flee as soon as possible, otherwise when the Sui army and the Eastern Turks defeated the sergeants on the west bank, leaving some troops to guard the pontoon, and cross the river from the shallow water upstream to launch an attack, if he tried to escape again, he would really be unable to escape.

Daluo saw that the soldiers on the east bank were already panic-stricken. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He no longer cared about Kumo Xi and led the soldiers on the east bank to evacuate northward, intending to cross the river from the shallow water upstream and escape back to Dujin Mountain.

At this time, the morale of both sides had already reversed. After witnessing the Sui army and the Eastern Turks slaughtering the Western Turks' troops on the west bank, and seeing the Daluo army, they fled. They were beaten until the decisive battle. The Kumoxi people, who feared the enemy like tigers, had no trace of the Western Turks.

fear.

Only a small number of troops were left to block the pontoon bridge, while the remaining nearly 80,000 troops, led by Ahui Lusu, pursued Daluobian northward.

Da Luo never imagined that one day he would be hunted down by the despised Kumo Xi people, like a lost dog.

However, when his peripheral vision swept to the other side, he was horrified to find that the 80,000 to 90,000 Western Turkic troops on the west bank had no resistance. Except for some soldiers who fled westward, the rest either died or surrendered.

Chu Luohou did not bother to exchange greetings with Cui Che, who planned the battle, and sent someone to say hello to him. He then led his soldiers to chase Da Luobian for nearly twenty miles, and finally intercepted Da Luobian in the shallow water upstream.

.

Under attack from both sides by the East Turks and Kumoxi, after a fierce battle, the West Turks Apo Khan Daluo was captured alive by the East Turks.

Chu Luohou ignored the remaining Western Turkic soldiers who were fleeing in all directions, and went south with Kumo Xi to join Cui Che who was cleaning up the battlefield.

The next chapter is around two o'clock in the morning. A guest came to the house today, which delayed the time.
