The most important thing in this battle is speed.
On August 18, Huang Mingyuan issued an order for a full-scale attack to all ministries.
The various Sui armies made rapid progress according to Huang Mingyuan's plan, all the way to the hinterland of Tuyuhun.
Huang Mingyuan's main force of 40,000 troops set out from Yunwu City and headed west along the Huangshui River, approaching the Changning Valley and Linqiang City. On its right was the Xiping Army led by Yang Yichen, totaling 30,000 people, approaching Pipa Gorge along Haoshui (today's Datong River in Qinghai), while on its left was the Linqiang Army led by Zhang Shou, totaling 20,000, and Huang Mingyuan marched parallel to the south of Huangshui River, approaching Linqiang City (now Huangyuan, Qinghai Province), blocking the road of Tuyuhun's main force heading south.
These three armies totaled 90,000 people and were the main force in Huang Mingyuan's planned decisive battle with the Tuyuhun people.
The 25,000 Chuihe Army led by Tu Wanxu on the southern front and the 25,000 Jishi Army led by Wei Xuan prepared to bypass the southern line of the West China Sea and occupy Mantou City (southwest of today's Gonghe County, Qinghai Province), Shudun City (southeast of today's Gonghe County, Qinghai Province), then across the Dafeiling (now Hainan Mountain, Qinghai Province), directly took Fuqi City (southwest of Tiekajia Village, Shinaihai Township, Gonghe County, Qinghai Province), and captured the capital of Tuyuhun , to prevent the Tuyuhun people from escaping south.
As for Liang Mo's Zhang Ye Army, Duan Wenzhen's Wuwei Army and Zhang Dinghe's Qing Navy, each with 30,000 troops, they compressed Tuyuhun's living space from three directions from the north to the south, forcing it into the decisive battle planned by Huang Mingyuan. battlefield.
Liu Quan¡¯s Haixi Army, totaling 20,000 people, was to set out from Zhangye, cross the Qilian Mountains, attack Tuyuhun¡¯s vast area west of the West Sea, and prevent the defeated Tuyuhun remnants from escaping to the Western Regions.
The nine armies each have their own division of labor and clear goals. At the beginning of the war, the army made extremely smooth progress.
Most of the 40,000 troops under Huang Mingyuan's command are Guanzhong Fu soldiers and Forbidden Army troops.
Although Tuyuhun is a country, it is also a semi-feudal and semi-slavery country. From the Khan down, there are ten small tribes, and the leader of each tribe is called a famous king. In the entire Tuyuhun, from Murong Fuyun down, there were three most powerful famous kings, namely Tianzhu King Cheli Ni, Dabao King Niluo Zhou, and Xiantou King Bali Yi. The three of them were powerful, and each had more than ten tribal subordinates. The combined strength of the three of them was almost half of Tuyuhun's national power.
When Murong Fuyun heard that the Sui army was coming west again, he quickly fled westward in order to avoid the decisive battle with the Sui army. He knew very well that he was no match for the Sui army, so he still relied on guerrilla strategy to drive back the Sui army.
His confidant Zhao Huaxuan advised Murong Fuyun that Cheli Ni, the Tianzhu King located in Haidong, would definitely not be willing to give up his territory. Therefore, as long as all the military power on the eastern front was handed over to the Tianzhu King, he would definitely fight with the Sui army here. Fight to the death.
It is not necessary for King Tianzhu to defeat the Sui army. As long as he can support the Sui army for a period of time, Murong Fuyun can lead the main force to retreat to the western region. West of the West Sea there are few people, the terrain is empty, and there is a lot of room for maneuver. The Sui army will not stay in Tuyuhun forever, so when the Sui army retreats, they can take the opportunity to counterattack.
Murong Fuyun was overjoyed and followed him. He was very clear about his position and would not fight the Sui army until death.
Zhao Huaxuan is a Taoist priest from China. It is said that he is good at using illusions and has the power to reach heaven. Therefore, Murong Fuyun obeyed his words and became his confidant.
Murong Fuyunnai ordered that all the soldiers and horses in Linqiang City and all the troops in Haidong obey the command of King Tianzhu.
And Tianzhu King Chelini was overjoyed when he got the news. According to Murong Fuyun's arrangement, he had nearly 50,000 troops under his command, and some of his troops numbered 200,000.
As Zhao Huaxuan expected, although the Sui army was coming fiercely, King Tianzhu did not think the Sui army was so scary. He thought that Murong Fuyun's retreat was just to scare him. After he defeated the Sui army, he would be able to use this great achievement to ascend to the position of Tuyuhun Khan, which he had coveted for a long time.
Tianzhu Wang Chelini deployed 30,000 troops on the west bank of Niuxinchuan River (now Nanchuan River in the east of Huangzhong County, Qinghai Province), and ordered the troops to cross the river to guard Tulou Mountain (now Qinghai Province) at the junction of Changning River, Niuxinchuan River and Huangshui River. Beibei Chanshan, Xining City, Province), taking care of each other.
At that time, the river was flowing rapidly and it was impossible to swim across it. King Tianzhu stationed troops here and regarded it as a natural chasm.
Huang Mingyuan heard that Tuyuhun had deployed heavy defenses at the Niuxinchuan River, so he quickly mobilized Zhang Shou's Linqiang army to join forces with him. The two sides joined together, a total of 60,000 people, all under Huang Mingyuan's command.
Huang Mingyuan seized Zhang Shou's military power, but he did not dare to fight back and could only give up the military power.
Huang Mingyuan's troops rushed to the east of Niuxinchuan River, facing King Tianzhu across the river.
Huang Mingyuan looked at this place from a distance. The three rivers converged and the land was fertile. It was a good place to build a city. The Xining City of later generations was here.
Looking at the arrangement of King Tianzhu on the other side, I was surprisedIt's pretty average, nothing outstanding, but there's nothing wrong with it either. Tulou Mountain on the north bank controlled the commanding heights north of the Huangshui River, blocking the possibility of the Sui army making a detour.
The more regular the layout, the harder it is to fight sometimes, and it is not easy to overcome it.
Everyone was helpless and didn¡¯t know how to cross the river.
Huang Mingyuan looked at the flag of Tuyuhun on the opposite side and said to everyone: "Why should the enemy want to fight me here, so I will fight here. In this case, our army should not fight."
No fight?
Huang Mingyuan ordered Zhang Shou to lead 10,000 troops to build a defense line on the east bank of Niuxin River to prevent the enemy from crossing the river. Huang Mingyuan chose to take the opportunity to cross the Huangshui River to the north and attack Tulou Mountain on the north bank.
Tulou Mountain is more than 2,000 meters above sea level. Huangshui flows eastward through the gorge, with stone cliffs standing on both sides. Tulou Mountain, on the other hand, is surrounded by mountains and stacked cliffs. From a distance, it looks like towering earthen pavilions and is not easy to attack.
Huang Mingyuan ordered his troops to be divided into teams of 1,000 people, and 50,000 people to be divided into 50 teams to attack the mountain from all directions. Although the Tuyuhun people lived a life of half farming and half herding, they were not good at defending. Therefore, the Sui army attacked from all sides, and the entire Tuyuhun army in Tulou Mountain fell into chaos.
Huang Mingyuan ordered his general Hu Yalang, Zuo Tiancheng, to lead hundreds of elite infantry to the main Tuyuhun position in Tulou Mountain.
Zuo Tiancheng was a native of Jiyang, Caozhou (which governs Guyang Town, Lankao County, Kaifeng City, Henan Province today). He came from a poor family and relied on his military exploits to achieve this step by step.
Zuo Tiancheng rushed forward with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other. At this time, the mountain was steep and it was difficult to ride a horse, so everyone fought on foot. Zuo Tiancheng slashed and slashed, as brave as a tiger descending from the mountain. The Tuyuhun soldiers were unable to defeat him and retreated continuously.
Zuo Tiancheng took advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy and never gave up on the enemy. Hundreds of them fought hard, and there were few barbarians who could stop them along the way.
Huang Ming had a vision of Zuo Tiancheng's victory, so he waved his command flag and ordered thousands of infantry to press forward from behind. Zuo Tiancheng received support and rushed towards Hulu with all his strength.
The barbarians in front of the mountain were unable to stand due to the attack by the Sui army. They abandoned their small villages and gathered on the mountain.
At this time, everyone was worried that the Hulu would not escape due to danger. Only Huang Mingyuan smiled when he saw the Tuyuhun army gathering on the mountain.
