The Chuyue tribe is composed of thirty small tribes. The area they live in is in the shape of '>'. The upper part is the remaining veins of Jinshan Mountain, and the lower part is the remaining veins of Shiluoman Mountain. The gap where the two mountains meet is the passage connecting the East and West Turks. '>'The Qianli Grassland in the middle extends to the area east of Puleihai in the east and to the eastern Junggar Basin in the west. The northeastern part of the Junggar Basin is Tiel Xueyantuo, and the southeastern and western parts are the territories belonging to the Western Turks.
The Chuyue people are also the Shatuo people. In the late Tang Dynasty, under the leadership of the great chief Li Keyong, they caused a bloody storm in the Central Plains. The current Chuyue people are just servants and slaves of the Turks, living in the gap between the East and West Turks, and their north is Xue Yantuo of Tiele, and their south is the current Yizhou. The situation can be said to be quite bad, but there are Some people sink under oppression, while some people grow against the trend. The Chuyue people are undoubtedly the latter. Although they are slaves of the Turks, they have taken the Turks as their role models for generations.
The former Turks were also iron-smelting slaves in Rouran, and they moved to the southern foot of Jinshan Mountain. Because Jinshan resembled a war helmet, they were commonly known as Turks, and their tribe was named after it. The Ashina family had only a few hundred families at first. Later, the Turks grew step by step, defeated their master Rouran, and established a powerful Turkic Khanate on the land of Rouran. Today's Turkic Khanate is torn apart like Rouran in the past, and the Chuyue people feel that an opportunity has come. They feel that they can also overthrow the Turks and establish a huge empire of the Chuyue people.
It's just that the Chuyue tribe is too weak. If they want to become stronger, they must use a large number of people to supplement it. If they were not controlled by the Turks, they would have attacked Yiwu, which has a population of more than 200,000 but a weak combat power. Their masters, now untied from their necks and raised to equal status, were eager to march towards the coveted south. And this is what Tutunshe has always been afraid of. In order to obtain the protection of the Western Turks, he has been enduring the exploitation of the Western Turks.
Although Shatuo Khan Chuyue Tu found out that Yiwu had been owned by the Sui Dynasty and established Yizhou, when the Sui army gathered the Yiwu people to build the city, he thought it was a God-given opportunity to attack Yizhou, not that he He did not take the Sui army in large numbers seriously, but he believed that with so many people gathered in one place, as long as the 30,000 Chuyue warriors attacked hundreds of thousands of civilians, the fleeing Yiwu people would be their best attack. Once these civilians broke up the Sui army formation, they could massacre the Sui army soldiers from behind.
Shatuo Khan's arrows had been sent out a few days ago. Chuyue warriors who came from all directions gathered at the shore of Pulei Sea, and tents stretched as far as the eye could see on the vast grassland.
Perhaps because of the wolf as a totem, the people of Chuyue have a deep affection for the moon. Before they send out troops, they first ask the high priest to pay tribute to the gods on behalf of the people of Chuyue on the night of the full moon, and implore the gods to bless them and win a huge victory. victory.
On the night of May 15th, a clear full moon hung in the dark sky. And in an open grassland under the moon, the high priest, nine great wizards, and eighteen young wizards were dressed in feathered clothes that looked like monsters and monsters, and their faces were painted with inexplicable grass juice so that their true appearance could not be seen. They were singing beside the campfire. , dancing and playing the waist drum at the same time.
Hundreds of small chiefs, elders, subordinates, special Qin, Qilifa, and Tutunfa were sitting around the fire. Everyone's body swayed gently to the rhythm of the drums, and they were singing the ancient song. Song.
Seven or eight miles away from where the Chuyue people held sacrifices were the intermittent hills of Shiluoman Mountain. The lush dense forests on the hills stretched for twenty or thirty miles. A dense mass of cavalry emerged from this forest, with as many as 25,000 people. These were the Sui troops coming from Yizhou. In addition to the 20,000 well-equipped Sui troops, there were also 5,000 cavalrymen. The Yiwu soldiers led by Xue Shixiong were only equipped with protective gear such as leather armor, and their weapons included spears, swords, and bows and arrows. However, they knew that they were not fighting for the Sui army and the Sui Dynasty, but to protect themselves. The wives and daughters in Illinois are not small in number, so their morale is also very high.
Yang Ji stood at the front of the team holding a horse called 'Toujia Wujin'. Under the moonlit night, he could see the light of fire miles away and even hear unknown weird tunes.
Tutun Achi, who accompanied the army on the expedition, said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this kind of sacrifice usually takes place all night, but only the big chief, the little chief and the elders stay until dawn. The soldiers go to sleep when the moon sets in the west. They want to Maintaining sufficient physical strength can maintain high morale.”
"I understand!" Yang Ji nodded and continued to look at the fire in the distance.
At this time, a cavalryman rushed over, clasped his fists on his horse and saluted: "Your Majesty, the scouts have pulled out all the Chuyue people's sentry posts."
"Have all their soldiers entered the camp?" Yang Ji asked.
The knight replied: "We have entered the camp to rest before the second watch, and the whole camp is silent."
Yang Ji ordered: "Kill."
"Woo woo woo, woo woo woo..." In an instant, the horn sounded loudly, especially loud in the quiet night in the wilderness.
Thousands of horses galloped by the forest, and the iron hoofs trampled the tranquility of the night. Like a torrent in the dark night, 25,000 soldiers swept toward the Chuyue people's camp several miles away, full of excitement and pride.
The Chuyue people who were participating in the sacrifice were alarmed by the sound of horse hooves. They stood up one after another and looked to the southwest in shock. They saw a long black dragon coming towards this direction. Suddenly someone shouted in shock: "It's Sui." Army, the Sui army is coming!"
Everyone also saw an invisible army sweeping towards them in the darkness. They could tell from the gleaming armor that this was the Sui army. They were all frightened to death, and turned around to see the large camp composed of tents. Some people also sounded the rallying horn, but the Sui army's forward was already rushing like a flood, and everything was too late.
It stands to reason that as the commander of the first army, Yang Ji should not charge into battle, but the Yang family seems to have a natural radical madness. Yang Zhong, Yang Jian, Yang Shuang, Yang Guang, and Yang Ji who played tigers with bare hands were like this. .
Yang Ji didn't know what happened to him. He was usually very afraid of death, but when it came to war, his blood boiled, as if there was an inexplicable powerful force urging him to rush forward; at this time, he was galloping across the battlefield, as if Grandfather Yang Zhong seemed to be possessed, and he bravely stabbed all the enemies who appeared in front of him to death; except for killing the enemies, he had no other thoughts at all.
When he had killed all the enemies, he saw a Jinyi chief fleeing forward, and immediately caught up with him.
'Pujia Wujin' stabbed forward, and with a 'pop' sound, it pierced a chief wearing a feather crown and brocade clothes. With both arms working together, he was lifted up. He was more flexible than a spear or a lance. The 'Penetrating Armor Wu Jinshan' appeared in a slight arc, and then when Yang Ji swung it forward, the stick rebounded, throwing the body on the Jianfeng further.
Achi, who was following closely behind, took a look at the blazing fire and shouted in surprise: "Your Highness, this guy is Shatuo Khan Chuyuetu." He leaned to the side of the horse vigorously and cut off Chuyuetu's head with a knife. The leader, with the back of a knife piercing his hair, raised the head high and shouted loudly: "Shatuo Khan is dead."
"Shatuo Khan is dead."
"Shatuo Khan is dead."
"..."
The soldiers who followed closely shouted, and the surrounding Sui troops heard this and followed suit, regardless of whether it was true or not.
The sound of "Shatuo Khan is dead" resounded throughout the battlefield, making the Sui army rush into the camp of Chuyue soldiers with great momentum.
More than 30,000 Chuyue soldiers did not expect that the Sui army would take the initiative to attack them, so they all went to bed early under the orders of the chief to recharge their batteries for the march south tomorrow. When they were awakened by the shouts of killing, more than 20,000 enemy troops had already entered. Arriving at their camp, as if in an instant, shrill screams tore through the tranquility of the moonlit night.
The ropes of the tents were cut and collapsed, and the soldiers woke up from their dreams. The tents falling from the sky blocked their sight and bound their hands and feet. They all shouted in terror, while some Sui soldiers and Yi soldiers who were good at riding were The state soldiers controlled the horses and trampled on the bulging human figures under the tents. More people used spears, spears and spears in their hands to stab them.
This one-sided massacre continued until dawn, and the Sui army soldiers were still galloping, chasing and killing the Chuyue people who were desperately fleeing.
"Your Highness!" Xue Shixiong, who was covered in blood, rode his horse in front of Yang Ji, raised his hands and saluted, and said: "All the warriors of the Chuyue people were wiped out here. Their tribes, large and small, were like lambs to be slaughtered. The general proposed to take advantage of this opportunity. If we win, we will annihilate and annex them all. Even if we don't take them, the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo will annex them all. If we take advantage of the foreign tribes, it will be like raising tigers."
"General Xue's words make sense." Xue Shixiong's words were also what Yang Jizhi thought, and he ordered Wang Xingben: "General Wang, take the wounded soldiers to clean the battlefield."
"General, I obey." Wang Xingben saluted, looked at the groups of dejected prisoners, and asked, "Your Highness, do you want these people to be killed together?"
The law of the battlefield is that you give birth to me and I give birth to you, and there is no room for mercy. However, the medical conditions are poor these days. Minor injuries on the battlefield sometimes turn into serious injuries, and serious injuries mean disability. When cleaning the battlefield after the war, the enemy will usually be injured. The soldiers stabbed him to death, and sometimes even his own soldiers gave him a slap in the face.
"Take them to build the city, and I will leave another thousand soldiers to help you." There are many places in Yizhou that need to be built, and these prisoners who are either slightly injured or intact are all free labor. Yang Ji is reluctant to kill them now. .
"Here."
