Chapter 651 The attack of the Kalulus
People in this era do not know how much impact Sanjar's defeat had on the world pattern.
Even if you experience it yourself, you cannot get a glimpse of the overall situation.
Only time travelers like Zhao Huan knew from the perspective of later generations that Sanjar's defeat had an unimaginable impact on the civilization of the Mesopotamian Basin.
In their opinion, an army without faith actually defeated the army of God composed of devout believers.
This is an impact on the worldview and theocracy.
For the Arab and Turkic worlds, the gods are invincible.
Just like those pagans in the West, all resistance is in vain.
The once extremely powerful Arabs and the extremely fanatical Christians all jumped under the Iron Cavalry of the Turks.
However, Yelu Dashi's 10,000 troops defeated Sanjar and wiped out the Turks into doubting their lives.
The light of faith begins to appear.
Yelu Dashi's reputation began to bloom in the Western Regions, causing the surrounding countries to tremble.
Not only that, Zhao Huan believed that the Seljuk Turkic army, which was fighting against the Europa Crusaders and the Eastern Roman Empire, was also depressed due to the king's reasons.
A single hair moves the whole body.
The contradictions inside the flow column were also due to Sanjar's failure and were paid to the water.
The governors from all over the country finally couldn't stand it when they were forcibly unified by Sanjar.
This directly led to a sharp decline in combat effectiveness on the Western Front, and Europa and the Eastern Roman Empire survived.
The crusaders who fought for the East because of poverty found an opportunity in this gap and gave birth to the holy war that fought for the holy city back and forth.
All of this is attributed to Yelu Dashi. No wonder later Western scholars believe that Yelu Dashi is Saint John, who was sent by God to save the world of Christ in the Bible.
It can be said that after the Battle of Kavante, Yelu Dashi soared into the sky in the Western Regions.
Even Yelu Dashi himself did not expect it.
But Zhao Huan knew these clearly.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to eliminate Yelu Dashi from the whole country!
Fifty miles ahead is the Chu River, and Xiao Hanli sects a 500,000 army on the other side of the Chu River, and fifty kilometers upstream is the royal capital of the Liao Kingdom, Shuye City.
The wind blew from the empty fields, causing Zhao Huan's cloak to fly.
The city of Sailye is also on the bank of the Chu River, and Yelu Dashi planted 50,000 elite troops in front of him, with obvious intentions.
It is to create two-way constraints on the Song army that intends to attack Yecheng.
When he arrived here, Zhao Huan immediately divided his troops into two groups.
Han Shizhong led 50,000 troops to the Chu River and set up camps.
Zhao Huan led 50,000 and went upstream, and his troops advanced into Shuye City.
About half an hour later, Zhao Huan received the latest information.
Yue Fei had crossed the Chu River from the right, walked by detour, and advanced into the back of Shuye City.
Wu Jie had already moved his target from the left to the Kingdom of Gaseni.
As early as half a month ago, the merchants deployed disguised in the Imperial City Department received a secret report that the Sultan of the Gassini Dynasty, Abu Muzaffar, had secretly defected to Yelu Dashi.
Even Sanjar is still in the dark about this matter.
Not only did the Ghassini Dynasty secretly show its diligence, but even the Turks in the north began to submit to Yelu Dashi.
Of course, there are also people in this area who have been known for their fences in the Qihe and Hezhong areas for hundreds of years.
At the beginning, they provoked civil strife in the Eastern Kharto Khanate and forced the Eastern Kharto Khanate to seek Yelu Dashi's assistance, and strengthened Yelu Dashi.
At the same time, they also fanned the flames in the Western Khartha Khanate, allowing Sanjar to lead a 100,000 army to personally fight, resulting in a great defeat.
This group is a typical example of seeing that there is a strong side.
Of course, they also cheated on the Central Plains dynasty.
It is the Battle of Hengluo that netizens later knew about, and Gao Xianzhi was cheated by them.
Over the years, this group has been active in the Qihe area and knows little about what happened in the Central Plains.
Recently, I suddenly heard that the Central Plains dynasty has been invaded, so I didn’t take it seriously.
After all, Yelu Dashi defeated Sanjar in the Battle of Kavante caused a tsunami in the Turkic world, and the sky collapsed and the earth broke.
Geluo people naturally couldn't wait to kneel down and lick it.
In order to show his absolute loyalty to Yelu Dashi, the Geluo people sent 30,000 troops to help Yelu Dashi repel the Chinese from the East.
These Gelulu people were now a hundred miles away from the north, as Yelu Dashi's left-wing army, stationed there, which hindered Zhao Huan's crossing west to the north to attack Saiye City.
As long as Zhao Huan dared to reach the east of Shuye City and cross the Chu River west, Ge Luolu's 30,000 troops would rush over at any time and encircle the Song army.
This is the layout of Yelu Dashi.
This layout is both win-win for Yelu Dashi.
If Zhao Huan did not cross the Chu River west and was entangled with the Geluo people, he could naturally use the Geluo people to consume the Song army.
If Zhao Huan crossed the Chu River west, the cavalry of the Gelulu people would immediately rush down.
Although the Geluo people have always been fence-bearers in the era when the powerful are competing for hegemony, the combat strength of the army cannot be underestimated.
However, Zhao Huan did not care about Gelulu people at all.
At present, the countries in the Qihe area were conquered by Yelu Dashi's prestige and were willing to follow Yelu Dashi to resist the Song Dynasty.
This is a good thing!
Zhao Huan was never afraid of too many enemies, but was afraid that he was not cruel enough!
A small team of cavalry quickly rushed to the north of the Geluo people's military account.
"Report! The Chinese are about to arrive at Chu River and arrive at the east bank of Shuye City."
Ayar, the leader of the Geluo people, said: "Okay! Very good! The men, they all pick up the guys and go together to teach these Chinese people from the East to be human beings!"
With his order, the generals under his command said in unison: "Yes!"
The people of Geluo acted very quickly. Even if there was farmland in the Chuhe area, they would not go to farm.
They are standard nomadic peoples, and they live on horseback all year round.
Therefore, their cavalry was very powerful. After the soldiers boarded the horse, the man and the horse seemed to be one.
Aiyar said: "My sons, today, we will use the blood of the Chinese to express our loyalty to Guerhan to Guerhan!"
Ruiye City is located on the west bank of the Chu River. It is backed by mountains, has fertile land, and has the Chu River waterway. It is a major transportation route on the Silk Road and the ancient road of Tang Monk's journey to the west back then.
It was also the most western-facing city in the Western Regions during the Tang Dynasty.
The Chu River flows east from here, with huge peaks on both sides, and flat ground is formed in the middle.
This terrain is very special.
Zhao Huan arrived here with 50,000 elite troops from the Imperial Guards.
He looked at the other side of the Chu River, under the blue sky, tiny black dots.
That is Shuye City, an important channel of the Silk Road, and an inseparable military center in China since ancient times.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the Central Plains Dynasty was greatly damaged.
Nearly four hundred years have passed until today.
Finally, the Han cavalry advanced to the bank of the Chu River again.
At this moment, Zhao Huan saw the mountains ahead rolling and undulating, and there was still a path between the mountains.
The spies came quickly: "Report! The people of Geluo from the north are coming here, and there is an army of 30,000!"
Chapter completed!
