    Although Shekui Khan was defeated in the battle of Yusuo Mountain, he never thought that one day the Sui army would advance the battlefield to his Khan's tent.

    Although the Western Turks Yazhang is now in Sanmi Mountain, the main activity area of ??the Western Turks is not south of the Tianshan Mountains.  After all, there are many oases to the south of the Tianshan Mountains and are a farming civilization, while the nomadic areas are to the north of the Tianshan Mountains.

    The Western Turks started from the Western Expedition of Yehu Khan Shidian Mi. Their tribes descended from the Jinshan Mountains and swooped all the way into the Western Regions. Some of the original Turkic-speaking tribes in the Western Regions, such as Chuyue, Chumi, and Tuqishi, joined the Turkic tribes.  Alliance, Tiele tribes, Geluolu, Bashmi and others were forced to belong to the Turks.  Shi Dianmi then formed an alliance with Khoslao I of the Sasanian Dynasty of Persia to jointly attack the overlord of the Western Regions, Yanda.  By around 558, the Turkic and Persian armies met at the Wuhu River (today's Amu Darya River in Central Asia) and divided the territory of Yanda between them.  Later, the Western Turks and Sasanian Persia broke apart due to the silk trade, and the Western Turks turned to the Eastern Roman Alliance against Persia.  In 571, the Turks attacked Persia and pushed the border from Tiemenguan (there are several Tiemenguan in the Western Regions) to the coast of Wuhu River.  Later, under the attack of Shi Dianmi, the Western Turkic forces crossed the Amu Darya River and encompassed the area of ??present-day Afghanistan.

    Therefore, the core interests of the Western Turks are in the river, Suiyechuan, and Jinshan, not south of the Tianshan Mountains. As for Shekui Khan, he moved the Yazhang east to Sanmi Mountain just to facilitate development.  This is why as soon as Xue Yantuo's tribe rushed into Suiyechuan, Shekui Khan was greatly panicked and immediately led his army to encircle and suppress them, even ignoring the south of Tianshan Mountain, including Yazhang.

    Yi lost his bowl and planned his whole life, but sending troops to destroy Yechuan was really too much.

    Yishubao thought that Shekui Khan was always proud and arrogant, and he would definitely not accept defeat after his defeat at Yesuo Mountain and would raise troops to attack the Sui army again, so he headed west into Suiyechuan to take advantage of the situation.  Later, when Shekui Khan came to his senses, his troops had completed the encirclement and suppression of the Turkic tribes east of Suiye River, and they would be able to fight by then.

    On both sides of Suiye River, the land is fertile and the grass is fertile. It is because of their control of this place that the Western Turks became the overlords of the Western Region. If they can gain a foothold here, they will have a bright future.

    Because the harvest is huge, the cunning Yi Shubo will make a desperate move.

    But he didn¡¯t expect that Shekui Khan, who was as proud as a swan, would give up in the face of the Sui army. After defeating the Suo Mountain, Shekui Khan did not dare to blindly send troops again.

    So when he heard that Xue Yantuo's tribe broke into Suiye River, he had enough time and energy to make arrangements.

    There is no need to overstate the importance of the Suiye River. In addition, the Xueyantuo tribe burned the Sanmi Mountain tooth tent before, and the entire upper class of Western Turks was almost wiped out. The Khan's savings were depleted, and his wives, concubines, and children became prisoners of the Xueyantuo tribe. New enemies.  There was old hatred, so Shekui Khan immediately mobilized various ministries to encircle and suppress the Western Turks.

    But it was not smooth for Xue Yantuo's tribe to enter Suiyechuan Grassland.

    The Western Turks have been operating in the grasslands for many years and have great influence and strength.  Although the main force of Shekui Khan moved eastward, and the other tribes were also scattered and nomadic, their profound foundation was still not comparable to that of the Xue Yantuo tribe.

    Yi Shubo fought several battles in a row, but failed to defeat his opponent. Instead, he waited for the main force of Shekui Khan.

    In June of the ninth year of Daye, the Xue Yantuo tribe, which had been wandering on the Suiyechuan grassland for a year, fought with the main force of the Western Turks in the north of Jiedan Mountain.  This place is the sacred mountain of the Western Turks and is said to be the residence of the Emperor of Heaven. When the Western Turks swear oaths, they swear by Mount Jedan. The Khan replacement ceremony of the Western Turks is held on this mountain.

    The results of this year's battles were not good, so Yi Shubo prepared to fight an encirclement and annihilation war to lay the foundation for hegemony.

    There were a large number of Western Turks, so Yishubo adopted the method of luring the enemy deeper.

    Xue Yantuo's tribe traveled back and forth without fighting the Western Turks. After preparations were completed and the battlefield for the decisive battle was selected, Yishubo sent a group to provoke and lure the Western Turks into their encirclement.

    This is why Yishubao set the battlefield for the decisive battle at Jiedan Mountain, because the Turks had to come to defend this place.

    In the ambush circle, Xue Yantuo's troops dug a parallel trench on the grassland and covered it with reeds and soil, making it difficult for people to detect it with the naked eye from a distance.  In the middle of this parallel trench, a passage was deliberately left for more than ten horses to enter and exit, to facilitate the retreat of enemy troops.

    The two sides fought, and Shekui Khan pursued Xue Yantuo's cavalry all the way to the ambush circle.

    The cavalry of Xue Yantuo's tribe successfully crossed the trench through the passage set aside in advance, and regrouped at the passage to fight again.  A large number of Western Turkic cavalry who did not know the trick fell into the ditch with their horses and men, causing many casualties.

    When Yi Shibo saw that the Western Turks had fallen into the trap, he immediately launched an ambush and launched a full-scale attack on the Western Turks.  Daluo, the son of Yishubo, also led the elite cavalry, taking advantage of the chaos of the Western Turkic army to rush into the enemy troops from the rear.

      Some Western Turks who could not resist fell into the ditch in panic and completely lost their ability to fight.  Xue Yantuo's tribe assembled a large number of armored cavalry to attack from both wings, massacring the Western Turkic light cavalry that lacked armor protection.

    For a time, the main force of the Western Turks suffered heavy losses and was almost on the verge of collapse.

    At this moment, an army came from the rear, which was the reserve force in the hands of Shekui Khan.

    After his previous defeat at Lusuo Mountain, Shekui Khan felt that he had not set aside enough reserves so that he could not fight back when he was hit hard by the Sui army, so this time he left General Ashina as his commander.  Commander, command the rear army and leave a main force in the rear army.

    When Shekui Khan was fighting with Xue Yantuo's tribe, the cavalry came out lightly and left the rear army behind.

    Ashina Chu is also a veteran general. Hearing the scout report that Xue Yantuo's cavalry was found behind Shekui Khan, he immediately guessed that Shekui Khan might be ambushed, so he mobilized all the troops regardless of the baggage and supplies of the rear army.  , chasing the front army from behind, and finally reached the battlefield before the main force of Shekui Khan collapsed.

    Although Ashina Chu didn¡¯t have many troops, Xue Yantuo also didn¡¯t have many troops. This strength was enough to support the situation on the battlefield.

    Ashinachu and Xue Yantuo's tribe strangled together and fought to the death.

    Shekui Khan was finally able to free his hands to gather the defeated troops.

    Shekui Khan was not a mediocre person. Although he was rolled back by the defeated troops, he still ordered his personal guards to come forward to support Ashina. In order to win, he sent almost every available soldier in his hands.

    So the Western Turks defeated their troops and fought with Xue Yantuo for an entire afternoon. The two sides were indifferent to the outcome. Although Xue Yantuo had the advantage and the results were brilliant, they never defeated the opponent.

    The two sides fought fiercely and both suffered heavy casualties.  In the end, Xue Yantuo's tribe was unable to withstand such huge casualties, and Yi Shubo finally had to order a retreat.

    An unexpected Western Turkic force finally reversed the situation that was about to collapse.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
