On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 293 The time has come
The story of the wolf is coming is well known in later generations.

But the wisdom of "Aesop's Fables" has not yet benefited the Turks at this time.

When the Sui army clamoring outside the camp was easily expelled for the third time, few Turkic troops took the possible storm of the Sui army seriously.

Even though Khan Dulan had vaguely guessed about Cui Che's intentions, his previous series of unreliable performances had made Khan Datou no longer trust him.

On September 16, the 596th year of Kaihuang (Convention 26), near dusk, the Sui army camped.

When the Sui army retreated for the fourth time, Cui Che was informed that fewer and fewer Turks were expelled from the camp, and there was almost no big movement in the camp.

In the handsome tent, Cui Che stood up, glanced over the generals, and said loudly:

"Everyone! The time has come! Make meritorious deeds and seal your wife and son, today is the day!"

Everyone got up one after another, and they all cupped their hands and said:

"Listen to the order of Commander Yan!"

Cui Che left [-] infantry to guard the camp, and led [-] cavalry out of the camp to the north, sending sentry cavalry along the way to intercept any Turkic scouts that might appear.

In the evening, night falls as the last rays of sunset fade into the sky.

The Turkic soldiers on the lookout post saw the dark Sui army outside the camp, and they hurriedly shouted warnings.

However, the Turkic soldiers were already used to the warning sounds, and many of them remained silent. Even those in the battalion who had already woken up moved slowly, without any sense of urgency from the enemy.

With a wave of Cui Che's hand, there was the sound of blare, and countless cavalrymen of the Sui army passed by him and rushed towards the Turkic camp.

As the Turkic soldiers were unable to take their positions for a long time, the arrows in twos and threes could not stop the Sui army's charge at all.

When the gate of the camp was destroyed, the horses were swept away, and there were not enough spearmen and shield soldiers to guard the gate, the Sui army was able to drive straight in and break into the Turkic front camp.

Mai Tiezhang, Liu Fang, Wang Dangwan and others each led their followers to set fires and create riots.

The roar of horseshoes came from far and near, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded through the sky.

This terrified Dulan Khan of the Chinese army camp.

This is not at all the momentum that thousands of people could create before.

He was so familiar with this kind of movement, as if he had returned to the night when he followed Cui Che to attack Nili Khan's court at night.

"Khan! The Sui army has really come! The front battalion has fallen!"

The confidant rushed into the handsome tent.

Dulan Khan forced himself to calm down, he opened the door curtain, and walked out of the sweat tent quickly, only to see fires everywhere in the front camp, and black smoke rising into the sky.

The panicked Turkic soldiers were like frightened birds, running around in the camp, crying and wailing. Their morale was low, and now they have no resistance.

Especially the Eastern Turkic soldiers, they either fled or surrendered.

The flames reflected Dulan Khan's pale face.

"go!"

Dulan Khan gritted his teeth.

Shameful to escape, but useful!
Too many examples can make Dulan Khan understand that there is no need to worry about no firewood to keep the green hills.

Just like his father Ashina defeated Bai Daochuan in taking pictures, or the Western Turkic Nili Khan abandoned the royal court.

Before that, the division of troops and the relocation of women and children to the west of Dujin Mountain were not just to guard against this day.

Dulan Khan climbed on his horse, and took dozens of cronies to applaud the horse and leave.

At the same time, Mai Tiezhang took the lead and led the troops towards the Turkic Central Army camp, followed by Wang Dangwan, Liu Fang and others.

Datou Khan was still shouting and directing at the top of his voice, trying to save the defeat.

However, the Western Turkic soldiers, who had been frightened for a long time, no longer cared about the Khan's military orders. They even drew their swords to face each other in order to fight for the horses and run for their lives.

Du Liuyehu tugged Datou Khan's sleeve and urged:
"Father Khan! Let's go!"

Datou Khan shouted angrily:
"To shut up!"

But when his eyes swept over Dulan Khan, who was riding his horse with his head buried in the distance, his anger froze on his face.

Seeing this, Du Liuyehu ordered his guards to put him on the horse regardless of Datou Khan's willingness.

Datou Khan didn't struggle anymore, his eyes fixed on Dulan Khan's back, full of resentment.

As Dulan Khan, Datou Khan, and Du Liuyehu fled one after another, the defeat of the Turks was set. This was a one-sided massacre.

Of course, for Dulan Khan, it was a blessing to be able to save his life.

After all, in the original time and space, he had just unified the Eastern Turks, and his prestige was at its peak, but it was only the Sui Dynasty's threat of crusade, which caused civil strife in the Eastern Turks. anger.

Turks' fear of the Sui Dynasty was almost carved into their bones.

Compared with them, Rouran, who is known as the shame of the overlord of the grassland, seems to be able to stand up straight.

The fire subsided in the first half of the night. Of the 13 Turkic coalition forces, no more than [-] died, and nearly [-] descended, most of whom were East Turks.

The remaining 9 people fled in all directions and disappeared into the vast night.

It's just that they lost livestock as supplies, and how many people can support the people who crossed Dujin Mountain.

Cui Che did not order to pursue him. For him, winning a battle and winning face for Yang Jian was enough.

It is not to drive Dulan Khan to extinction, this is not his purpose.

It is better for East Turkic to be ruled by a person who is afraid of himself and has some old feelings, than after the death of Dulan Khan, another hero will appear out of nowhere.

The Sui army cut off the heads of the dead, drove the livestock and captives, and returned to the camp singing triumphant songs at night.

Only the Turkic camps that were almost burned to the ground remained behind.

Facing the compliments from the generals, Cui Che did not get carried away. He maintained his rationality and did not celebrate wildly. Instead, he arranged the camp to be on guard as usual.

After all, Nili Khan was only concerned about celebrating his victory at the beginning, so he was successfully attacked by himself.

It's just that Cui Che was obviously worrying too much. Whether it was Dulan Khan or Datou Khan, they had no intention of turning around and attacking.

Dulan Khan galloped his horse, thinking of crossing Dujin Mountain as soon as possible, returning to the tribe, and reuniting with his son Yue Qincha.

And Datou Khan also gathered some of the defeated soldiers, and then set out on his way home.

If you want to go back to the Altai Mountains, you must kill horses and eat human flesh along the way.

On September 27th, in the early morning, at dawn, the Sui army pulled out their camp and headed south.

During this period, Cui Che strictly forbade the soldiers of the Sui Army to abuse the prisoners, and even visited the prisoner camps from time to time, comforting them in Turkic language.

Even personally asking about the diet of the captives made these people grateful to him.

When the Sui army crossed the desert and returned to Monan, Dulan Khan had also joined Yuqincha, led his people to move eastward, and returned to Duluoshui.

Dulan Khan was defeated in this battle, and the prestige established by capturing and killing Qin Yushe and ambushing Tuli with great difficulty, suffered a major blow.

And the fear of Cui Che among the Eastern Turks is even greater.
