At the end of March in the tenth year of Daye, Sanmi Mountain.
This time, in order to besiege the Western Turks Yazhang, Huang Mingliao gathered 20,000 Xizhou troops and nearly 10,000 subordinate troops of the Qibi tribe and the Wuhu tribe. This was the largest battle prepared by the Sui army after the Battle of Yusuoshan. .
It is pitiful that Huang Mingliao has been able to fight in the Western Regions for so many years.
Sanmi Mountain is a main mountain section of the Nantian Mountains, with steep terrain and extremely high altitude. From here to the north is the famous Ili River Valley in later generations.
To put it bluntly, by occupying Sanmi Mountain, the Sui Dynasty¡¯s frontline defense in the Southern Tianshan Mountains was closed.
For this battle, although more people fought less, Huang Mingliao was fully prepared. After all, Sanmi Mountain is the tentacle of the Western Turks, and the Western Turks are still the overlords of the Western Regions. Even for the sake of honor, these Western Turks will not give up easily, and a fierce battle will inevitably occur between the two sides.
In the battle last winter, although the Sui army maintained suppression of the Western Turks, the Turks also maintained strong resilience.
Huang Mingliao commanded the army to attack Sanmi Mountain from three directions. To the north is the headquarters cavalry led by Qibi Ge, attacking the position behind the mountain. Huang Mingliao ordered Qin Qiong to lead his troops to occupy Chisha Mountain (today's north of Wensu County, Xinjiang) to the west, cutting off the Turks' way of escaping westward or aiding eastward. Huang Mingliao led the main force to attack Sanmi Mountain from the south. .
In order to defend themselves, the Turks dug several trenches at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside, and set up fences on the mountain.
The Turks were originally good at cavalry and generally focused on offensive battles, but this time Ashina was determined to use their own shortcomings to fight the enemy. Not only did they not attack, they also used trenches and fences to prevent the possibility of attacking.
Ashina knew very well that the Sui army had the advantage of fighting quickly, so as long as he waited until his brother arrived, he would win.
Sanmi Mountain was also called Halke Mountain in later generations, and Halke Mountain means "snow mountain" in Uyghur, which shows how high Sanmi Mountain is. Although the Sui army was very powerful and good at attacking fortresses, the terrain advantages of the two sides were too different when attacking from above. The Sui army attacked several times, but due to the terrain conditions, the attacks often failed.
Seeing that the strong attack was unsuccessful, Huang Mingliao wanted to fight with the opponent's cavalry, so he ordered people to fight several times, but Ashina was afraid of it. In the face of the Sui army's scolding, he refused to attack even if he was killed.
The battle reached a stalemate.
Huang Mingliao sat in the tent, thinking hard. If we really fight against the Turks, we may not be able to conquer this mountain, but the final result will definitely be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
Huang Mingliao is not afraid of defeat, but he is afraid of injury. There are only so many Han people in the Western Regions, and if one dies, one will be lost. He cannot afford to consume them.
At this moment, someone suddenly claimed to be visiting on Sanmi Mountain.
Huang Mingliao was very surprised. He didn¡¯t have many acquaintances in Western Turks, so how could he still have old friends? However, Huang Mingliao wanted to see the other party's intentions, so he still let people in. Of course, in order to prevent the other party from assassinating Cen Peng like Gongsun Shu, he was escorted in by his personal guards after being searched in advance.
"General Huang, this is how you treat old friends when they come to visit. The Han family has always been a country of etiquette and pays attention to the etiquette of hospitality. However, General Huang's approach is not very etiquette."
The opponent was wearing a black cloak, and under the cloak was a short and ferocious face. This man's face is covered with scars, which are covered by a beard, but they are still visible. His ugly face, with scars and a big beard, is as ugly as a demon in hell.
Huang Mingliao was a little confused, he really couldn't remember who the other party was.
"General Huang is still forgetful. At the time when we were on the banks of the Lulun River, it was General Huang who was put on the back foot."
Huang Mingliao suddenly realized, and finally figured out who the other party was. This person turned out to be Mohe Duo, the son of Bujia Khan of the Western Turks. In the battle of Lulun River, the Turkic army was defeated miserably. Mohe Duo cut off his father's throne and the entire army was wiped out. He jumped into the Lulun River to escape.
Later, Huang Mingliao's men captured the half-dead Mohe Duo downstream. Originally, they were going to sacrifice the prisoners, but after Huang Mingyuan heard about it, he asked Huang Mingliao to release Mo He Duo.
It¡¯s not that Huang Mingyuan treats Mo He differently, Bujia Khan has so many sons and grandsons, there is nothing to take seriously, especially a person who has lost his subordinates.
But Mohedu was the most important figure in the history of the collapse of the Western Turks.
In the second year of Zhenguan, that is, 628 AD, Mohe Duo assassinated his nephew Tongyehu Khan, causing chaos in the country, and the Western Turks fell into decline. From then on until the demise of the Western Turks, the Western Turks never completed true unification.
You must know that the era of Tongyehu Khan was the most prosperous era of the Western Turks. After twenty years of hard work, he and his brother Shekui Khan finally completed the unification of the Western Regions. They had hundreds of thousands of string-controllers under their command, and their martial arts exceeded those of previous generations. sweat.
Although history has changed now, can Mohe Duo kill Tong Yehu Khan again?It is unknown whether there will be another Tong Yehu Khan, but Huang Mingyuan still kept this person as a foreshadowing.
After Mo Heduo was released, he did not choose to go to Mobei, but went to the Western Regions.
At the beginning of the Battle of the Lulun River, Mo Heduo was considered a filial son because he risked his life to sever his father's wife. However, after this battle, he was seriously injured and almost died, and his inner transformation from a filial son to a hero was completed. He had become disillusioned with his father Bujia Khan and no longer wanted to serve his father. Moreover, he saw that the Sui people were powerful and would still fail if they stayed in the grassland, so he went to the Western Regions to look for opportunities.
Mohe Duo went through ups and downs and came to the Western Regions, only to find that the sky in the Western Regions had changed. At that time, the Western Turks were already ruled by Nili Khan. As the son of the former Khan, Yazhang could not rely on him at all, so Mohe Duo came to Suiyechuan and went to his nephew Shekui Khan.
But the nephew is not his biological father after all.
Mohe Duo lost his tribe and was alone. His nephew Shekui Khan did not pay attention to him. Mohe Duo gradually became a transparent figure in the Bujia Khan lineage. After more than ten years of hard work and hard work, Mo Heduo finally had a small tribe in his hands, with two to three thousand riders under his command.
But this is not what he wants. When he was young, he was able to lead thousands of cavalry and conquer the east and west. His influence was no less than that of his brother Dusu Liu. But now he was leading a small tribe to survive. The gap between this made him Feeling hopeless and broken.
Over the past ten years, the Western Region has experienced many turmoils. Mohe Duo was full of ambitions, but due to lack of strength, he was never able to participate in this struggle for hegemony.
This made Mo Heduo's heart even more twisted. Until today, he was surrounded in Sanmi Mountain. Seeing that the Sui army was about to break through the tent, and seeing that the tiny power in his hands was about to be destroyed, he finally decided to take this step and trade with the Sui army.
He wants to be the Great Khan of the Great Turks, and no one can stop him. For this ambition, Mohedu is willing to make a deal with the devil.
So Mo Heduo disguised himself and took the risk to come down from the mountain to meet Huang Mingliao for a while. He wants to trade with the Sui army. The Sui army is in a disadvantageous position in encircling the mountain and cannot attack for a long time. He needs the support of the Sui army. The transaction between the two parties can be a win-win situation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
