On May 25, after several days of exploration, the Western Qin Huya Army's sentinel again detected the camp of the Khazar army.
Zhao Ziliang originally wanted to lead all the troops to attack, but he was worried that Habier would avoid fighting after receiving the news. , which will waste troops and mobilize troops and affect the overall combat effectiveness of the army.
After consideration, Zhao Ziliang ordered Kuo'er Kuotai, the leader of the Jixi tribe, to lead five thousand troops of his headquarters to set off towards the Khazar army camp.
At the same time, the army also broke out of camp and set off to slowly approach the Khazar army camp.
The Khazar sentry quickly discovered the 5,000 cavalry of the Jisha tribe.
Khabier immediately asked a captain under his command to lead the 5,000 cavalry to fight.
The Khazars and Pechenegs were both steppe barbarians, but The Sa people's level of civilization is slightly higher, but this higher level of civilization has not been translated into combat effectiveness.
The equipment of both sides is similar, while the Pecheneg people are more brave because of their poor living conditions and harsh living environment.
The two sides fought on the shores of Lake Sarpa.
The Pechenegs were more sophisticated in their riding skills and their fighting spirit was even higher.
After an hour of fighting, the Khazars were gradually defeated and lost much more troops than the Pechenegs.
The Khazars began to try to retreat, but the Pechenegs persisted.
At this moment, another Khazar cavalry rushed over from the side and disrupted the Pechenegs' offensive, successfully rescuing the retreating Khazar army.
You saw reinforcements for this Khazar army that was still retreating just now.
Immediately turn around and attack Pecheneg together.
The Pechenegs could not withstand the pincer attack, and their leader Kuo'er Kuotai was killed on the spot.
The cavalry of the Kyrgyzstan tribe quickly collapsed after losing their leader.
The Khazar army took advantage of the victory and pursued them, killing more than 2,000 people.
Only two thousand people from the Ci tribe fled back to the Western Qin army camp.
The body of Kuo'er Kuotai was retrieved from the scene of the battle by Zhao Ziliang.
Looking at Kuo'er Kuotai's broken body, Zhao Ziliang sighed and said to the six thousand commanders of the Jixi tribe: "Everyone, Kuo'er Kuotai has been After his death, your Jici tribe also lost its leader, and the elders of your tribe also moved westward with their tribesmen.
Now the remaining 2,000 of you are homeless.
I cannot ignore you.
If you don’t mind, you can join our Western Qin Army.
I will treat you and other Western Qin Army officers equally.
You can consider You can also tell the soldiers below about this and see how they choose."
The six captains of the Ji Ci Tribe discussed the matter for a while, and then reported the matter to all the remaining fellow cavalrymen of the Ji Ci Tribe.
Here, Zhao Ziliang ordered Kuo'er Kuotai to be buried according to royal etiquette.
Zhao Ziliang's actions moved the remaining cavalry of the Ji Ci tribe.
At this time, they had nowhere to go.
Since they could join the Western Qin Army, they certainly did not want to be displaced, so the remaining cavalry of the Ji Ci tribe joined.
After defeating the Western Qin Army, Zhao Ziliang ordered the two thousand people to be organized into three battalions and temporarily divided into three legions.
On May 28th, the weather was already relatively hot.
This was nothing to the Western Qin Army, but the hot weather made the Khazars unbearable.
They went to the north to escape the heat every summer, but this time they fought But not in the north.
"Wei Meng, Wei Qier" "General Xiaohan is here."
The two men stood up.
Zhao Ziliang ordered: "I order you to lead your troops to approach the Khazar army from the left and right sides respectively and launch an attack."
"yes" Wei Meng's fourth legion cavalry consisted of 9,000 men.
Under his leadership, these 9,000 fine cavalry marched from the left to the camp of the Khazar army, while Wichir led more than 17,000 Kimak troops from March to the Khazar army camp on the right.
The two armies are sixty miles apart.
This distance is not far for the cavalry.
However, it is inconvenient to transmit messages on this grassland, and it is not easy to contact each other in time to report the situation.
Shortly after the two troops set off, Zhao Ziliang led the Second Army Corps, the escort army, and the Dragon Guard Army also broke out of camp and set off from the middle road to march towards the Khazar army camp.
The distance between the middle road and the left and right wings was only forty miles.

In order to maintain contact in time, Zhao Ziliang It is stipulated that the three parties should notify each other of information every hour.
"Report" "Stop!"
Zhao Ziliang raised his hands and reined in his horse to stop, and the army behind him also stopped advancing.
A soldier from the Huya Army galloped over to report: "King, General, the Khazar army is no longer where it is.
Our brothers are tracking their whereabouts."
Zhao Ziliang arrived immediately: "Continue to investigate and report any news immediately."
"promise" Gao Shang on the left said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, it seems that this Habier is very cunning.
This is their territory.
They are familiar with the terrain.
They know where to hide and where to easily cross the river.
If they keep hiding with us, This battle is really difficult to fight.”
Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and frowned: "It seems that I have underestimated the enemy this time.
This place is different from the Mobei Grassland.
There are many tribes in the Mobei Grassland and they are not united, but here are all Khazars.
They are very united and pass orders."
Give it to Wei Meng and Wei Qier and let them quickly lead their troops to move closer to ours."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the herald agreed, he immediately sent out his troops and rushed towards Wei Meng and Wei Qier's tribe respectively.
Dugujun asked: "The king is worried that Habier will use the terrain here that we are not familiar with to defeat us one by one."
Zhao Ziliang said: "The tribal leaders on the grassland are not stupid, but they are very smart.
They have learned a variety of tactics from the scenes of wolves hunting, and one of them is to concentrate their forces to defeat them individually."
In the early morning of May 30th, Zhao Ziliang got up and asked, "Have Wei Meng's troops come back?"
Wang Can said: "Wei Meng's troops are moving closer to ours, but Wei Qier's troops have been lost to us for two consecutive hours.
According to the agreement, news must be reported once every hour.
They have made mistakes twice, which means they are afraid that they have already We encountered the Khazarian army and didn’t have time to send anyone over.”
Zhao Ziliang's pupils shrank and he immediately said: "Send the order, the army will immediately set off in the direction of the Kimak Army.
Send the order to Wei Meng's troops to speed up their march and move closer to our troops."
"promise" Three hours later, Wei Meng's fourth legion and Zhao Ziliang's second legion, escort army and dragon guard army merged together.
At noon, the army arrived at the Chacha Lake.
An endless sea of corpses entered in front of Zhao Ziliang and all the soldiers of the Western Qin Army.
The blood dyed the water of Chacha Lake red.
Countless vultures were swarming over these fresh corpses.
Nibble on food.
Zhao Ziliang walked over with a livid face and hit the horse.
Along the way, corpses of Kimak cavalry were lying on the ground.
Some corpses were piled up together, and several broken flags were stuck crookedly among the piles of corpses.
When the army arrived, groups of vultures flew into the sky with a "boom" and kept circling in the sky.
They obviously did not want to give up this feast.
Zhao Ziliang turned to Xuan Shiba and asked: "The Huya Army still hasn't found any traces of the Khazar Army?
What are they doing to eat?
Isn't it because they have never failed, so everyone is proud and complacent, and their ability to detect has also declined?"
Xuan Shiba was sweating profusely: "Your Majesty, this will take time after all.
The Khazar people's patrol sentries are not just paper.
Brothers, it will take a lot of effort to deal with these people."
Vichil's body was found, and several soldiers carried him over.

After searching, the soldiers of the Western Qin Army found more than a hundred injured Kimak soldiers on the battlefield.
However, even if all of these people were cured, they would still be injured.
There was no use anymore, and living could only mean suffering.
Without waiting for Zhao Ziliang's instructions, Bai Xiaode asked his soldiers to deal with all these Kimaks.
Two hours later, Du Fu came to report: "Your Majesty, after statistics, more than 17,000 Kimak troops were wiped out, and there were more than 12,000 Khazar corpses on the scene.
In other words, although the Khazars The Kimak army was surrounded and annihilated, but the victory was not easy.
Judging from the number of casualties, the Khazars could only be regarded as a tragic victory.
According to estimates, the Khazar Khan King Habir can now use less than 15,000 troops."
After listening to Du Fu's report, Zhao Ziliang took the map from the guard and read it.
Not long after, he asked: "Zheng San, how much food and grass does our army have now?"
Zheng Sandao: "Your Majesty, the food and grass can last for two months."
Zhao Ziliang calculated that he still had the 300,000 pounds of grain seized from Atil last time in his finger space.
Including meat, it could last for one month, which means that the food of the Western Qin Army could last for three months. combat Zhao Ziliang sneered and said: "Okay, Habir wants to hide and seek with me.
How can I do what he wants and pass on the order?
The army will rest here for one night today and set off early tomorrow morning.
It will go straight to Samandar and destroy all the Khazar settlements along the way.
Let’s see if Habir can still sit still.”
Gao Shang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he cupped his hands and said: "It's a good move to go straight to the King's Court of the Huns.
If we don't want the King's Court to be destroyed by our army, Habil will definitely lead his army to show up and fight our army head-on, and destroy the Khazar settlements along the way."
It has caused heavy losses to them, which cannot be recovered within one or two years.”
Zhao Ziliang was noncommittal and said to Bo Bo Han: " Bo Bo Han, I will give you a task.
Divide your Dragon Guard into several teams and let them disperse and attack when they encounter the settlement of the Khazars.
Attack, kill all animals in sight, burn Destroy all the houses, tents and huts.
Isn’t it that Habir wants to play hide and seek with me?
Let me see if he is still in the mood.
Remember, never stay in one place for more than an hour and leave with one strike.
Do not give Khazar cavalry any chance.
The opportunity to catch up makes them run around.”
Brahan clasped his fists and said, "I understand."
Bolehan has been with Zhao Ziliang for a long time and is very familiar with Zhao Ziliang's use of guerrilla tactics in Mobei to deal with various tribes in Mobei.
This time he has the opportunity to practice and use such tactics personally, which is also a rare opportunity
