Qibian Heli has always been famous for his calmness and caution on the battlefield. As long as the army he led would send elite scouts at all times. It is precisely because of this that when the Dashi army that came to capture Yazdegeld III was still twenty miles away from the village, it was discovered by the scouts of the Tang army, and he quickly reported it to Qibian Heli.

As a result, when Qi Heli and Xue Wanche heard the news, they were all very excited. The Great Cannibal only brought 10,000 troops to capture Yazdegeld III, and they had no idea that they had 40,000 troops here. This gave them a chance to wipe out the other side, and they could also take advantage of this confrontation to estimate the real strength of the Great Cannibal.

At present, Qi Bi Heli ordered Xue Wanche to bring 20,000 troops to face the enemy. The 40,000 troops they brought this time were all cavalry, of which only 10,000 were Han people, and the other 30,000 were Turks, Tiel people and other grassland Hu people. This cavalry that was mixed with Hu and Han was the elite of the Tang army. Many people participated in the battle to destroy the Western Turks that year, and had rich practical experience.

Xue Wanche brought 20,000 people to the outside of the village and town. Although he was not good-natured, he was very good at using troops. Even though his troops were better than the other party now, Xue Wanche chose to ambush and divided the 20,000 people into several teams to ambush, intending to catch the other party off guard after the Dashi army entered their ambush circle.

This army did not know the existence of the Tang army. They received a report from someone telling them that Yazdegeld III was in a small village in front, so they rushed over immediately. In order to capture the last monarch of Persia in one fell swoop, the Persian generals brought all their troops, but unfortunately they plunged into the encirclement prepared by Xue Wanche for them.

The current Dashi army is mainly light cavalry, and its weapons are bows and spears. In addition, it is generally equipped with a Dashi dagger and a Persian long sword. As for the Arab scimitar that is famous in later generations, due to production and habits, there is no large-scale equipment of cavalry. Only in some special Dashi cavalry teams can the shadow of the scimitar be seen. However, this time the Dashi cavalry who came to hunt down Yazdegeld III was obviously an ordinary cavalry, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were also mainly spears and bows and arrows. In addition, several teams used Persian long swords.

When Xue Wanche saw this unprepared Dashi cavalry entering his encirclement, he immediately went out several cavalry, intending to kill the opponent off guard. Dashi man did not expect to be ambushed, so he seemed a little panicked at the beginning. However, the Dashi general seemed very talented, shouting loudly to calm the team down, and then began to defend and counterattack under his command.

However, this Persian cavalry was not an opponent of the 20,000 elite Tang army in terms of numbers, morale and equipment. In addition, Xue Wanche was ambushing very cleverly. He could raise the speed of his cavalry. When he rushed to the Dashi Cavalry, he just reached the maximum speed, which allowed the cavalry to use the horsepower and charge extremely fiercely.

As soon as the Dashi cavalry came into contact with the Datang cavalry, they immediately showed a sense of lack of support, and flesh and blood flew across the battlefield. The Dashi cavalry was soon attacked by the Tang army and was chaotic. Seeing this situation, Xue Wanche was also very excited and commanded several cavalry to intersperse the opponent's military formation, intending to cut the cavalry into several segments and then eat them one by one.

However, he ignored the talents of the opponent's cavalry generals, and saw that the opponent's general wearing leather armor and bearded shouted a few times, and immediately gathered the cavalry beside him who had not yet been dispersed into a small team. Then he mainly used this cavalry team to rush around the enemy, gathering the scattered team, and soon gathering thousands of troops.

Seeing that the big food general was so talented, Xue Wanche was also a little surprised. He immediately ordered people to wave the order flag and mobilized a cavalry team of 3,000 people to rush towards the big food general, preparing to disperse the team that the other party had finally gathered together again.

However, what Xue Wanche did not expect was that the general of the Great Food was also a decisive person. Seeing that his subordinates had gathered thousands of cavalry, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the road when they came. It was originally the place with the most tight defense in the encirclement, but now the ambushed cavalry have rushed up, so the defense there has become a little weak.

The general of the Great Food might have seen this, so he commanded the thousands of cavalry under his command to attack a little. As for the defeated army killed by other Tang troops behind him, he didn't care at all. It was precisely with the other party's decisive attitude that the Tang army, which surrounded the defense of the circumference, could finally withstand the repeated attacks of the thousands of Great Food cavalry, and they tore a big hole open.

Seeing that the encirclement was finally broken, the general shouted and rushed out with thousands of cavalry under his command. As for the thousands of people in the encirclement, he couldn't care about it. Although this method of surviving with broken arms was a bit cruel, it was undoubtedly an extremely clever decision when surrounded by the superior Tang army.

Even when Xue Wanche was angry that he didn't catch the other party in one go, he admired the general of the Great Food. After all, if he was in that situation, he would have made the same choice. After the war, Xue Wanche knew the general's name - Hou Zhaifa? Ye Man.

Perhaps Hou Zhaifa? Yeman knew very few people in later generations, but for the Persians, it was famous because a few years ago, it was this man who led tens of thousands of Dashi army to defeat the last 150,000 troops gathered by Persia. Since then, the Persians have never organized decent resistance again, and even Yazdegeld III had to start a life of running around.

It was that battle that made Hou Chaifa? Yeman became a nightmare in the hearts of Persians. Dashi knew very well how to use this advantage and quickly appointed Hou Chaifa. Yeman was the commander-in-chief, responsible for the extermination of Persia's remaining resistance. However, he did not expect that the other party would personally come to capture Yazdegeld III this time. Unfortunately, the other party finally escaped. Otherwise, if he could catch him, it would definitely be very excited to the Persians, and it would be easier for Persia to restore the country in the future.

However, although this battle was a bit regrettable, it was a big victory in general. Hou Chaifa? Yeman brought more than 10,000 people to be killed and injured, and 4,000 captured, and the final escape was definitely no more than 4,000. Moreover, the other party was still Hou Chaifa? Yeman was the main general. So when this news came out, not only did Yazdegeld III's spirit boost, but also some of the already desperate Persians were excited and had some hope for restoring the country.

However, Hou Zhaifa, who was defeated, quickly found out the truth. When he found out that the attack on him was the Tang army, his face suddenly became very serious. As the commander-in-chief of the Persian war zone, he naturally knew that the Tang Dynasty had just destroyed the powerful Western Turks a few years ago, and now the entire Western Regions have fallen into the control of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, according to some merchants who have been to the Tang Dynasty, the real core area of ​​the Tang Dynasty is in the Central Plains, which is extremely rich, with silk and porcelain everywhere, and is also extremely powerful in military terms. After decades of its founding, it has been destroyed several countries. It can be said that with the current national strength of Dashi, it is indeed not easy to provoke the powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

However, not provoking it does not mean that Dashi will be afraid of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, the other party ambushed them first this time, so Hou's way? Ye Man reported the Tang Dynasty's intervention in Persia, while summoning Dashi soldiers and horses scattered throughout Persia. Soon, a large number of cavalry gathered to fight the Tang army to the death.

Taking advantage of the gap when Hou Zhaifa Yeman summoned the army, Yazdegold III, who saw the hope of restoring the country, finally cheered up. With the support of Qiheli, he began to vigorously summon the broken old subordinates.

Speaking of which, Persia is an ancient country with thousands of years of inheritance. Although Persia has been beaten up by the food industry in recent years and most of its territory has been occupied, there are still many people who care about their homeland. In addition, with the support of the Tang Dynasty, more than 100,000 people gathered under the command of Yazdegeld III in a very short period of time, and the troops reached more than 20,000.

In addition, Qibian Heli's army was not idle during this period. The Tang army divided into several groups to attack everywhere. Taking advantage of the dispersed troops of Dashi, he regained a large number of Persian homelands, and finally pushed the front line to the Nehwande line before stopping. It is worth mentioning that the 150,000 Persian army was here, and the tens of thousands of cavalrymen in Dashi defeated the more with few, thus losing the ability to resist. Therefore, for the Persians, Nehwande was a place that was both shameful and sad.

However, after Qibian Heli's army advanced to the Nehawande line, the supply line of the mine manager in the rear could no longer allow them to advance. In addition, Hou Zhaifa Ye Man also summoned the army at this time, with a total of 80,000 Dashi cavalry, who had already headed to the front line of Nehawande. Before the two armies confronted each other, the battle was about to begin.

At the beginning, this war, known as the Second Battle of Nehawand, was indeed as tragic as everyone imagined. Two great empires that rose almost at the same time began a battle between iron and blood on the battlefield in Central Asia. In just three days of the war, tens of thousands of people had fallen on the battlefield. In general, the Tang Dynasty's equipment and training were even better, but the Dashi army had the upper hand in number and momentum, so the war was extremely fierce, and almost all the ground in several miles was covered with blood.

But what everyone did not expect was that just when the war was about to reach its climax and a victory and defeat was decided, the Dashi side suddenly took the initiative to retreat and made a request for peace talks, which surprised the Tang army and the Persians.

After seeing the combat power of the Dashi Army, Qibing Heli knew that even if he could win this war, he would probably win miserably, so he finally agreed to the other party's request for peace talks.
