The carriages were rolling, the horses were rustling, and the pedestrians were carrying bows and arrows at their waists.
There are hundreds of thousands of mighty troops. The front army has left Gaoque, while the rear army is still stranded at Yongfeng Floating Bridge. At this time, the Yiran tribe stationed outside Langshan had long been waiting for the Sui army in the Northern Expedition. It is said to be the Yiran tribe, but it is not much different from the other divisions of the Sui army.
In the spring of this year, as soon as Princess Yicheng's headquarters was reorganized, Huang Mingyuan transferred back his confidants such as Hu Lusheng and Han Jun. It's not that Huang Mingyuan doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Qimin Department, but that the forces within the department are mixed and the strife is so serious that even Yang Jian is trying to control the Princess Yicheng Department.
In order to maintain her independent status, Princess Yicheng launched another great purge. All dissident forces, regardless of Han or Hu, were eliminated, and all generals were brought under her command. Only the forces loyal to her were retained. In this way, Hu Lusheng and Han Jun, who were still loyal to Huang Mingyuan, were an eyesore.
In order to avoid conflicts between the two sides, Huang Mingyuan had no choice but to completely withdraw Hu Lusheng and other generals from the Fengzhou line. Although Princess Yicheng is young, she is extremely talented and can already protect herself very well.
Since Hu Lusheng and Han Jun were familiar with the Hu tribe, Huang Mingyuan ordered them to command the Yiran tribe and serve as the king's vanguard.
At this time, Yiran's tribe only had more than six or seven thousand tents and nearly seven thousand soldiers and cavalry.
Yiran Khan had already accepted his fate long ago, and was raised in a tent by the Sui people like a pig. Now he has become a big fat man, drunk all day long, and does not even recognize people.
Huang Mingyuan was too lazy to see him, so he directly asked Hu Lusheng to take care of Dusu, and all the main forces followed the Sui Dynasty to conquer the Turks.
Huang Mingyuan used the Hulvsheng tribe as the rear of the army, responsible for escorting grain and grass and transferring materials along the way.
The main force of the Sui army went straight to Dalandui, the core area of ??the southern Turkic grassland.
Dalandui is uniquely located and is a rare oasis in the vast South Gobi. After entering the Little Gobi from the northwest of Fengzhou, it is hundreds of miles long to reach Landui. The entire road is desert with not much vegetation. This barren land is surrounded by wind and sand, has a hot climate, and often has large-scale sandstorms. This is the first challenge for the Sui army's march north.
After entering the desert, the Sui army was extremely uncomfortable and could not tell the direction at all.
Li Jing has never been out of the grassland, lacks experience, and the progress is not smooth. Huang Mingyuan also took Zhang Wenyuan's department as the former superintendent, replacing Li Jing's department to explore the way forward. Zhang Wenyuan had gone deep into the grasslands to pursue Dulan Khan, so he understood the situation in the desert.
Fortunately, the Turks seemed to be addicted to internal fighting and ignored the Sui army in the south. Or maybe they didn't care about the Sui army in the south. After all, the vast grasslands and thousands of miles of desert separated the grasslands from China like a desert, and the possibility of the Sui army crossing the desert was minimized by the Turks.
It was not until the Sui Dynasty sent troops to the north that it took more than two months for Bujia Khan, who was far away in Yazhang, to react and quickly organize various ministries to resist the invasion of the Sui army.
At the end of May, Bujia Khan appointed General Shili as commander-in-chief, and led 30,000 troops to Dalandui to resist the Sui army.
By the time the relics were hurriedly placed in Dalandui, Sui army Zhang Wenyuan's troops had already marched 200 miles away from the Northern Expedition, all the way to more than 30 miles southeast of Meijian City.
Meijian City is an abandoned fortress a hundred miles south of Dalandui. The earliest history of city construction here can be traced back to the Xiongnu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, the grassland people did not manage the city well, so the place gradually became deserted and no longer prospered like before.
However, although Meijian City no longer has much operational value, its key position is an indispensable part of the defense system of Dalandui.
The entire western part of Dalandui is an unknown mountain range running from northwest to southeast, and the eastern part is Dalandui Mountain. In the ordinary sense, Dalandui is actually a wide valley between two mountains (the area where Dalanzadgad City in Mongolia is today).
Dalandui Mountain is a mountain range that stretches for tens of miles. It gradually becomes flat towards the south and converges with the unknown mountain range into the Gobi Desert. Meijian City is right at this gathering point.
"If the Turks lose Meijian City, it will be like opening up the entire Dalandui.
After Zhang Wenyuan arrived near Meijian City, he discovered the elite Turkic rangers here.
In fact, the Sui army marched northward in large numbers, and Bujia Khan was not prepared to fight the Sui army in Dalandui. He was very aware of the comparison in strength between the two sides, and also knew the shortcomings of the Sui army, which was that they had more infantry and less cavalry, and they relied heavily on supply lines. Therefore, Bujia Khan decided to withdraw to the Turkic tent and fight again after this battle.
When the time comes for a decisive battle near Yazhang, he can coordinate the forces of various ministries, use more to overwhelm the few, and use the favorable geographical location to maintain a stalemate with the Sui army. As long as there is a problem with the supply line of the Sui army, the main force will inevitably collapse without a fight, and the crisis will be resolved, and it is possible to follow this victory and regain momentum.
What Bujia Khan wantedIt was indeed good, but he ignored the speed of the Sui army's advance and his cohesion with the Turkic tribes.
The Sui cavalry advanced nearly a hundred miles a day, and within a few days, they reached the outskirts of Dalandui. When the Turkic Khan summoned the tribes from all over the world, very few responded. Seeing that the Sui army was approaching the Yazhang, if the Turks had waited until the Turks were ready, the Sui army would have been right under their noses.
In order to delay the Sui army and gain preparation time, Bujia Khan ordered the relics to stick to Dalandui.
The relics had suffered losses from the Sui army at Champion Houshan, so they marched very cautiously. They rushed into a field battle with the Sui army without any confidence, so they also withdrew from Dalandui and withdrew the main force to two mountains.
However, Meijian City, which is the gateway to Dalandui, still needs to be defended.
Relic ordered his general Ashina Bansi to lead five thousand light cavalry to Meijian City to guard the place. Because he was afraid of the Sui army, the relics also repeatedly warned Ashina Banxi's troops to delay the Sui army and never engage in a decisive battle with the Sui army.
The light cavalry on the grassland, whether it is guerrilla or assault, is a special skill. Ashinaban also knew how to delay the Sui army's progress. It's just that he came from the Al Tambu Corps that guarded Jinshan and did not participate in the original invasion of the Sui Dynasty, so he did not understand the combat power of the Sui army.
When Zhang Wenyuan discovered the Turkic Rangers, Ashina Banxi had also discovered Zhang Wenyuan's troops.
The arrogant Ashina Banxi found that the Sui army seemed to have only three or four thousand troops, but he had five thousand Turkic cavalry in his hands, so he immediately became interested in fighting. Ashinaban used to think that the Turkic cavalry was invincible in the world. His previous defeats to the Sui Dynasty were just in front of the Sui army's fortified cities, strong passes, and strong bows and crossbows. As for cavalry battles, the Sui army was no match at all.
In fact, it is not surprising that Ashina Banxi despised the Sui army. The only record of the Sui army winning a field battle against the Turkic cavalry can only be traced back to the battle between Yang Su and Bujia Khan Lingzhou North four years ago. Bujia Khan would not expose his family scandal, and on the grassland where communication was inconvenient, Ashina Banxi had no idea of ??the true combat power of the Sui army's cavalry.
At this time, Zhang Wenyuan was already a delicious prey in front of Ashina Banxi. He had no idea that it was Huang Mingzhen and Zhang Wenyuan who succeeded in hunting down Dulan Khan in the Mega Grassland. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
