Chapter 830 Turkic General
In the middle valley of Kabul in the northwest of Peshawar, the royal city of the Guishuang Empire, 300,000 Mongolian and Turkic allied forces gathered.
Subotai has broken through the Hindu Kush Mountains controlled by the Guishuang Empire, occupied Kabul, an important giant city, and attacked the royal city of the Guishuang Empire along the Kabul River.
If the Mongolian and Turkic allied forces crossed the valley in the middle reaches of Kabul and captured the royal city of the Guishuang Empire, the Guishuang Empire would soon exist in name only.
Okuotai's son Guiyou led a small group of Mongolian cavalry to conduct reconnaissance.
In the south of the valley, the army of the Guishuang Empire began to go north, and tens of thousands of cavalry swarmed in.
King Guishuang has already realized the crisis.
Gao Xianzhi led a small group of Guishuang cavalry to the valley in the middle reaches of Kabul to investigate the situation of the Mongolian and Turkic coalition forces.
The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Mongolian, and the nomadic civilization cultivated on the East Asian prairie are very powerful, and Mongolia and Turkic have joined forces.
"This seems a bit tricky..."
Gao Xianzhi thought that Wo Kuotai could be easily defeated, but the crisis facing the Guishuang Empire was beyond Gao Xianzhi's ability.
In order to make meritorious service, Gao Xianzhi had no choice but to give it a go.
Even the worst outcome would be the destruction of the Guishuang Empire.
"This general, the Mongolian cavalry is just ahead, less than three miles away, our cavalry has already fought the Mongolian cavalry, and dozens of people have been killed or injured."
The Guishuang cavalry reported the situation ahead to Gao Xianzhi.
"Go and meet the other party for a while."
Behind Gao Xianzhi, King Guishuang and a group of princes supported him, and what he squandered was also the troops of the Guishuang Empire, so he had nothing to fear.
Clashes broke out between Mongolian cavalry and Guishuang cavalry in the valley. The two sides fought, and cavalry continued to die.
Gao Xianzhi led the cavalry used for reconnaissance and quickly defeated the Mongolian cavalry led by Guiyou.
Guiyou didn't expect the Guishuang Empire to be so ferocious, without saying a word, he directly stepped forward to attack, caught off guard, but was easily defeated by Gao Xianzhi.
Gao Xianzhi beheaded two hundred of the three hundred cavalry.
"It would be great if the opponent's cavalry were so easy to deal with."
Although Gao Xianzhi won a small victory, he dared not underestimate the Mongolian cavalry.
The cavalry he defeated was just a small scouting cavalry sent by Ogedai, not Subotai's main force.
What made Gao Xianzhi most afraid was Subotai.
This is also one of the few generals who is currently qualified to use cavalry to contend against Chutian forces.
"Wang, Gao Xianzhi, who came to support from the Han Empire, defeated a small group of Mongolian cavalry and captured 200 people!"
The morale of the King of Guishuang and the army of the Guishuang Empire in the rear rose slightly because of Gao Xianzhi's small-scale victory.
"Maybe you can give Gao Xianzhi more troops, maybe you can create a miracle. Shuang Mihou, your 100,000 troops follow Gao Xianzhi's command. Increase Gao Xianzhi's troops to 150,000. This time, we will use all our national strength, Assemble a million troops and a million civilians, and we will definitely defeat Wo Kuotai."
"King, do you mean to let me obey the orders of a general in the Protectorate of the Western Regions whose name we haven't even heard much?"
Shuang Mihou seemed very dissatisfied with King Guishuang's arrangement.
To the Guishuang Empire, Gao Xianzhi was just an ordinary general in the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
Shuang Mihou is the prince of the Guishuang Empire, and his status is above Gao Xianzhi.
King Guishuang squinted: "At this time, you can only trust the generals of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, unless you have a way to repel the Mongols and Turks."
Shuangmi Hou remained silent.
The Guishuang Empire gathered millions of soldiers and horses, and the five princes including the Guishuang King lined up in the middle valley of Kabul to block the front of the Mongolian-Turkic coalition forces.
The camp of the Guishuang Empire occupied the entire valley, so that the valley could not deploy millions of soldiers.
King Guishuang selected the elite among them to confront the Mongol-Turkic coalition forces.
When Gao Xianzhi came back from the investigation, King Guishuang assigned Shuang Mihou and his soldiers to Gao Xianzhi. Gao Xianzhi's troops reached 150,000, forming the left wing of the Guishuang Empire army.
"Since King Guishuang trusts me, Gao will do his best to repel the Mongolian and Turkic cavalry."
Gao Xianzhi pressed on the saber, full of pride.
In a world where heroes gathered, being able to stand alone and command more than 100,000 soldiers and horses was already enough to be proud of.
If you can assist the Guishuang Empire to repel the enemy, then it is not difficult to become a marquis in the Han Empire. After all, the opponent is not at the same level. Opposite is a group of veteran generals of the Mongolian Empire and a group of Turkic generals.
"You have the ability to deal with Wo Kuotai, otherwise you will just lose your life in vain."
Shuang Mihou's tone was cold, and he was still dissatisfied with King Guishuang's arrangement of him under Gao Xianzhi's command.
"Woketai is not as invincible as I imagined. The Wokuotai Khanate was destroyed by our Western Regions Protectorate. As for Subotai, the winner will only be determined after the battle..."
Gao Xianzhi knew that the Guishuang Empire had its own advantages and a strong military force. If it continued to be consumed, it might be possible to consume Wo Kuotai's military force by virtue of its population advantage.
Shuang Mihou shook his head: "Subutai and Jebe are invincible. Once defeated and captured, they will definitely be killed."
...
"If King Guishuang is captured alive, he will be beheaded and trampled by thousands of horses."
Wo Kuotai commanded 300,000 Mongolian and Turkic troops to the south, with only one-third of King Guishuang's strength.
But in every battle, generals such as Subotai, Jebe, Batu, and Yelu Dashi joined forces, and the loss ratio was astonishing. The Guishuang Empire has lost three battles, with 300,000 soldiers killed, 500,000 wounded, and the city was massacred Four seats.
In contrast, the Turks suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties.
On the contrary, the Mongolian and Turkic allied forces were at an advantage. The army of King Guishuang, from the king of Guishuang to the slaves at the bottom, was as fearful of the Mongolian and Turkic allied forces as a tiger.
Subutai and others slaughtered the city in order to frighten the nobles of the Guishuang Empire.
The army of the Guishuang Empire on the opposite side stretches for hundreds of miles, endless, and the valley is full of soldiers and horses of the King of Guishuang.
"I hope that Wuliang will join forces, and his cavalry can play a miraculous effect. I will make him king and reward him with the six cities of the Guishuang Empire as fiefdoms."
Wo Kuotai counted on the son of Subotai to be a good general on one side.
Su Butai said: "Wu Liang's combination will not disappoint Da Khan, and it will definitely have a miraculous effect."
Wo Kuotai seemed to have thought of a rather annoying thing, that is, Arslan, the exiled Sultan of the Seljuk Empire, was still resisting Wo Kuotai's rule.
Wo Kuotai asked Yelu Dashi to put down the Arslan rebellion: "Yelu Dashi, when Ben Khan conquered the Guishuang Empire, Arslan's rebels seemed to be less aggressive."
Yelu Dashi replied: "Yes, my subordinates have recruited a good general named Mahmoud, who is a Turkic. The subordinates teamed up with him and defeated Arslan again. Arslan fled into the mountains. Don't worry."
"The descendants of the royal family of the Seljuk Empire are always a disaster. Maybe there will be hope for the restoration of the country in the future. A dozen assassins were sent to try to kill them. The reward for the successful assassination of Arslan is 800 taels .”
Wo Kuotai was still afraid of the descendants of the Seljuk Sultans who were exiled in the Seljuk Empire.
At the same time, he was curious about the Turkic generals Yelu Dashi recruited in Central Asia: "Let the Turkic Mahmud come to see me."
Soon, a Turkic general with a red hat and a big beard came to Wo Kuotai.
"Mahmoud has seen the Great Khan."
"Do you have any elite regiments?"
"The Ghaznicholam Legion will serve the great Mongolian Khan."
"Is it the Gulam Legion? The Seljuk Empire also has a legion named Gulam. I don't know about the Ghazni Goram Legion. How does it compare to the Seljuk Gulam Legion?"
"Between brothers."
"Oh?"
Wo Kuotai couldn't help being surprised.
The Ghulam legionary talisman of the Seljuk Empire fell into the hands of the rebel Arslan.
The Turkic general named Mahmud in front of him has another Gulam army.
The source of soldiers for the Gulam Legion is slaves. Trained slaves have no burden and obey orders. Instead, they are more like war machines than citizens.
This person can definitely be reused.
As the second Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire, Wo Kuotai has the ability to identify talents.
In the history of Central Asia, there were also many conquerors.
Wo Kuotai thought that the Turkic general Mahmud in front of him was almost the same as the Khitan general Yelu Dashi.
Mahmud still has to maintain respect in front of the Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire: "Mahmud is willing to serve the Great Khan and defeat the Guishuang Empire's army on the opposite side."
"This battle with the Guishuang Empire, use your bravery to prove to me that you are worthy enough for me to reuse."
"Yes, the last general's heavy cavalry of the three thousand Guram Legion will be invincible."
"Very good."
After Wo Kuotai lost to the Han Empire, he changed his strategy, recruited generals from Central Asia, West Asia, and South Asia, expanded his territory, and planned to fight the Han Empire after recovering his strength.
The military generals of the Central Asian civilization such as Mahmoud are exactly the targets that Okudei tried his best to win over.
Generals such as Wokuotai, Yelu Dashi, Batu, Subutai, Wang Baobao, etc. stood on the hills on the north side of the valley, looking down at the opposite generals, with a posture that is bound to win.
The Okuotai forces, which gathered military generals from the civilization of the Mongolian Empire and several civilizations in Central Asia, swallowed thousands of miles like a dragon and swept across one side.
In the south of the river valley in the middle reaches of Kabul, the princes of the Guishuang Empire, such as the King of Guishuang, Prince Taktu, Shuangmihou, Houdunhou, and Gao Fuhou, as well as Gao Xianzhi of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
"It's hard to win this battle..."
Even King Guishuang realized that Wo Kuotai's forces had become extraordinary after absorbing generals from Central Asian and Western Asian civilizations.
"Anything, as long as you try it, you will know if it works."
Gao Xianzhi clenched her fists.
As long as Wo Kuotai is defeated, he will be famous in Central Asia.
"My lord, Wo Kuotai invites us to fight, and wants to fight us to the death."
The envoys from Wo Kuotai came to challenge King Guishuang.
"The Guishuang Empire, fight!"
King Guishuang couldn't bear the pressure brought by the Mongolian and Turkic allied forces, so he put all his eggs in one basket. Between the two powerful civilizations, the armies clashed!
