Chapter 2096 The end of the road

Yi Nan Khan came full of confidence, and countless young people from various tribes gathered under the Khan's banner, ordering them to fight bravely wherever they went. More than 100,000 troops covered the sky and covered the sun, rushing towards Zhao Xincheng like crazy. Horse hooves crushed the ice and snow, and their swords reflected the sunlight. The small Zhao Xincheng was like an isolated island in the torrent, precarious and trembling.

All these made Yinan Khan feel confident and high-spirited.

However, even before the expedition, he had already learned from the Han people to "think about defeat before victory", considered the most pessimistic situation and the most critical situation, and prepared various responses, but he could never have imagined that this centuries-old building would The city built by the former King Menci of the Xiongnu and the fortress guarding Mobei became the tomb of more than 100,000 Xue Yantuo's troops.

A real tomb.

The violent explosion, which was enough to tear apart mountains and shatter the heaven and earth, destroyed the entire city and buried nearly 100,000 of Xue Yantuo's strongest warriors under ruins, broken walls, and rubble.

Yinan Khan was riding a war horse, and the north wind blowing in his face was like a knife cutting his face, but it could not extinguish the flames of regret in his heart. When he came, warriors were like clouds, horses were like rain, and banners were rolling in the sky. Now he was surrounded by defeated soldiers. The man abandoned his helmet and armor, his morale collapsed, and he only whipped his horses and fled northward crazily. He didn't even have the courage to look back at the pursuing Tang army.

How could this happen?

Why were all the foundations of Xue Yantuo buried in Zhao Xincheng, and Xue Yantuo's future was also buried?

The Tang army was at its peak, and they only needed to retreat for a while and move their families westward. When they escaped the Tang army and came back, wouldn't Mobei still be firmly in Xue Yantuo's hands?

Why do we have to covet the achievements of annihilating the Tang army and underestimate the enemy and advance rashly?

……

"Ah——"

The Yi Nan Khan immediately felt more and more aggrieved, and the more he thought about it, the more regretful he became. Regret gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake, making him so painful that he couldn't breathe. He yelled, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body was The horse swayed and fell off the horse.

"Sweat!"

The soldiers on the left and right were horrified and hurriedly reined in their horses, jumped off their horses and rushed forward to protect Yinan Khan, lest he be trampled to pieces by the swarming troops from behind.

Yimang, Qibi Kele, Tizhen Daguan and others also quickly dismounted and gathered around Yinan Khan.

Yi Nan Khan's face was as golden as paper, and the wound on his forehead was rolled up, revealing the white bones. His usually well-trimmed beard was stained by the spurting blood, his eyes were unfocused, and he was breathing rapidly and weakly.

"Father, are you okay?"

Yimang stepped forward and asked with concern.

The cavalry of the Tang Army followed closely behind, because the horses of the Tang Army were generally nailed with horseshoes, and they were better at running in the ice and snow. Xue Yantuo did not have the advantage. If he stayed here for too long, he might be caught by the Tang Army. All became prisoners.

You can't stay here for long, but looking at the appearance of Yinan Khan, it seems that he can't continue riding his horse at all.

"It won't work...Father, it won't work..."

After saying this with difficulty, the people surrounding him were stunned for a moment, and their eyes turned red for a moment,

Qibi Kele stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Great Khan, I will ride with the Great Khan together, and I will definitely bring the Great Khan back to the tent! Today's defeat will definitely hurt your muscles and bones, but as long as the Great Khan is here, The Khanate will not collapse, and we can move west to avoid the Tang army's attack, and then come back a few years later to avenge our shame!"

"That's right, as long as Father Khan is here, the Khanate will be there. One day, we will kill all the Tang troops and avenge today's shame!"

Yinan Khan slowly shook his head.

He knew his own affairs, and he was already sick. He was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his internal organs were extremely damaged. He fell off the horse and fell to the ground so hard that he didn't even know how many bones were broken. , Internal injuries and external injuries are mixed together, and I am afraid that my time is numbered.

If he were jolting on horseback right now, he would probably die on the spot.

He held Yimang's hand and said with difficulty: "My father will pass on the position of Khan to you today. You must work hard to govern, love your people, strengthen Xue Yantuo, and maintain your position as the overlord of Mobei!"

Yimang was greatly shocked.

He has always coveted the position of Great Khan, but he also knew that his father Khan had always criticized him and thought that he was not useful. However, he did not expect that his wish was granted at this time. He couldn't explain how he felt.

"Father, I..."

Yinan Khan waved his hand to stop his humble words, looked at Qibi Kele and Tizhen Daguan, and said: "You two are my humerus. I am not here. I hope you can not forget the past kindness and assist you." Mang, help him achieve great things and never give up!”

Qibi Kele and Tizhen Daguan looked at each other, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "I will obey the Khan's order!"

The surrounding soldiers also raised their arms and shouted: "I will obey the Khan's order!"

Yinan Khan opened his mouth with a smile and was about to say something, but he opened his mouth and spit out another mouthful of blood, threw his head back, and fainted.

"Father!"

Yimang cried out sadly and was about to treat him when he heard the soldiers shout: "Prince... Great Khan, the Tang army is catching up!"

Yimang wiped away his tears and tried to pick up the Yinan Khan, saying loudly: "I want to take my father Khan back to the tooth tent!"

Qibi Kele quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Absolutely not! The Great Khan was seriously injured due to internal and external troubles. If he paid homage to him, he might still be able to save his life, but if he rides a bumpy horse at this moment, he may die immediately! Please also ask the eldest prince to return north immediately. Yazhang is in charge of the overall situation. Although I am not talented, I have been favored by the Great Khan for many years. Today I will repay the kindness and lead the army to block the Tang army, buy time for the prince, and protect the Great Khan Zhouquan. "

Yi Mang was greatly moved: "General..."

Staying to block the Tang army's pursuit, there are only two results, either killed or captured.

Qibi Kelena is the chief of the Qibi tribe. Xue Yantuo is suffering a heavy blow at this moment. As long as Qibi Kelena can return to Mobei, he may even take the opportunity to replace Xue Yantuo and become the next overlord of Mobei!

However, he just gave up, preferring to stay behind and protect Yi Nan Khan Zhou.

Loyalty to the liver and righteousness to the bravery can shine upon the sun and the moon!

Qibi Keleyu bowed deeply to the official Tizhen and said in a sincere tone: "The eldest prince will be entrusted to your assistance by my brother. I hope that my brother will work hard and diligently. Even if I am exposed to thousands of swords, I still want to pray for your health and longevity in front of the gods. ! ”

The official Tizhen said with emotion: "I will die if I die. I will definitely assist the prince and achieve great things!"

He is a smart man, how could he not know that at this moment, Xue Yantuo's foundation is completely destroyed, and various tribes will rise up one after another, and Qibi Kele would rather give up the chance of Qibi tribe to become the overlord of Mobei, but also want to leave a descendant to repay Yinan Khan His kindness and heroic spirit made him admire him very much.

"It's useless to say more, eldest prince, please get on the road quickly, otherwise the Tang army will catch up and they may not be able to escape!"

Qibi Kele urged Yimang to leave quickly.

Yimang's eyes were red, and he bowed deeply to Qibin Kele. He glanced at the unconscious and embarrassed Yi Nan Khan again, then turned around and jumped onto his horse, shouting: "My sons, follow me back." Tooth tent! ”

"Here!"

The banner was raised again, and thousands of soldiers responded with a loud voice, acknowledging the new Khan's succession.

The Golden Wolf Army protected Dahu and Yimang, and fled towards the majestic Yu Dujun Mountain in the north like a wind and lingering clouds.

There was the sound of horse hooves in the south, and countless Tang Army cavalry with red tassels on their helmets emerged from the wind and snow.

Qibi Kele looked at the Qibi soldiers around him, raised his hands, and said loudly: "The Tang army is ferocious and unstoppable. All of them must dismount and put down their weapons!"

All the soldiers were stunned.

All dismount?

Put down your weapon?

This is to...

The soldiers around him quickly asked: "Commander Qu, how can we surrender without fighting? We warriors of the Qibi tribe can fight to the death facing the enemy, but we cannot lay down our weapons and kneel down..."

"Bad thing!"

Qibi Kele kicked him to the ground and angrily said: "How powerful are the firearms of the Tang Dynasty, you can't see it? The warriors of the Qibi tribe are naturally not afraid of death, but they can't know that even if there is a rock in front of them, they will hit their heads. Breaking the flow is not bravery, but stupidity! Ten thousand troops were wiped out in an instant. Do you think you can stop the Tang army? No! I brought you out, and I have the responsibility to bring you back alive. You are all the eagles of my Qibi tribe. Do you want to lose your wings to the Tang army? In front of this rock? ”

After hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other, then dismounted and threw their weapons to the ground.

In fact, the sudden collapse of Zhao Xincheng just now has already knocked the morale of these soldiers to the verge of collapse. At this moment, they are just maintaining the last pride of the tribe.

Now that the clan leaders are planning to surrender, who can persist?

After a while, the Tang Army's cavalry chased them and surrounded the Qibi tribe. Seeing that all these people were dismounted and unarmed, they did not launch an attack, leaving a team of supervisors to guard them. The rest passed around from both sides, their horses hooves rumbling. , and continued to chase towards Yu Dujun Mountain.

The sky is full of wind and snow, red tassels are fluttering, murderous frost is coming, and cavalry are rushing!

Qibi Kele let out a long sigh, looked at Yinan Khan who was still unconscious on the ground, raised his fists towards a Tang military captain who was riding towards him, and said loudly: "I am Qibi Kele, and I sincerely request to see the commander-in-chief!" (End of chapter)
