On the east bank of the lower reaches of the Don River, the Khazar army camp.
Habier drank the wine in large gulps, leaving stains on his mouth and beard.
After drinking a small jar of wine, Habier's face became a little flushed.
He put down the wine jar and faced the ministers, captains of thousands and captains of thousands in the big tent.
He sighed: "I made a miscalculation this time.
I wanted to first We swallowed up the Kimak army, but we didn’t expect that the Kimak people were so brave and fought to the death.
We lost 12,000 warriors in our last-minute counterattack.
Weren’t they beaten to pieces by the Western Qin army and surrendered?
Why do you still have such courage and will?”
The minister next to him said: "Tacihan, the Kimak people have been neighbors with the Tang State for many years.
Their fear of the Tang State has long been deeply rooted in their blood.
In front of the Western Qin Army, they have no courage to resist.
But for us, they They don’t understand us Khazars at all, so of course they won’t be afraid of us.
In their eyes, we are just as barbaric as them, so they don’t need to be afraid of us, so they will fight us to the end.”
After drinking, Habier was in a depressed mood.
He sighed: "The Kimak Army is already so difficult to deal with.
Isn't the Western Qin Army a bone that cannot be chewed?"
A captain of ten thousand men spoke up and said: "Don't worry about Taqihan.
This is the land of our Khazars.
The Western Qin army came from afar.
They are not familiar with the terrain, but we understand this place just like we understand our own homeland.
I think Dacihan’s way to deal with the Western Qin army this time is Very good, we hide and seek with them on the endless prairie here, letting them run around like headless flies.
When they get lost, tired, and slack, we will suddenly attack.
After so many attacks, Even the most powerful army will collapse."
Habil felt a little better after hearing this.
He nodded and said: "Yes, you are right.
There is one more thing.
When we ambushed the Kimak people before, we made the encirclement too tight.
They fought to death when they had no hope of breaking out.
Counterattack, we can no longer do this when attacking the Western Qin Army in the future.
When they find themselves ambushed and besieged, and there is an opening for them to break out, they must not have the courage to fight to the death and choose to escape.
At that time, we are following and chasing, and we have obtained The results will be greater” All the captains of thousands and thousands in the tent nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, a centurion ran in and reported: "Tacihan, it's not good.
I was ordered to take people to Atil to escort the weapons and food there, but I found that Atil was missing."
Habier was stunned, "How could it be gone if it's gone?"
"Attil was attacked by unknown forces.
Everyone was killed.
No one survived.
Everything was burned to ashes.
The batch of weapons and food that the Eastern Roman Empire supported us were also missing.
According to the corpses Judging from the degree of corruption, Atil was raided more than ten days ago."
Habier's eyes widened, and the expression on his face was extremely rich.
In the end, it was reduced to disbelief, "Impossible, this is impossible.
Although Atil is only more than two hundred miles away from our army's camp, it is only a few kilometers away from the Western Qin army's camp."
Three hundred miles away, but at that time we were confronting the Western Qin Army, and there were our army’s ranger sentries everywhere in that area.

If the Western Qin Army sent us It is impossible for the soldiers and horses to not be discovered by our army.
This must not be done by the Western Qin Army.
It is impossible for them to raid my winter patrol place without us noticing.
Whose is it and who dares to do it?
If they are Ben Khan knew that Ben Khan would burn him alive, kill all his male family members, and sell all his female family members to Constantinople as slaves.”
Habir's thunderous rage made all the Khazar ministers and generals in the tent tremble.
After making Khabir angry, a Khazarian minister stood up and saluted: "Tachan, things are already like this.
No matter how angry you are, it will have no effect.
We can kill all the Kimak troops at a heavy price." , that is because their armor and weapons are crude, but if it is the Western Qin army with sharp weapons and strong armor, we are at an absolute disadvantage in this regard.
The key now is to see if we can get the Eastern Roman Empire to support another batch of ordnance. and food” Habeer hesitated and said: "Is it too late now?"
"Tacihan, we can always hide and seek with the Western Qin army.
There is no need to rush into a decisive battle with them.
When the weapons and equipment we need arrive, we will come out to deal with them."
Habier thought for a while and shouted to the door: "Come here, go and invite the Eastern Roman Empire's diplomatic envoy Hetius."
"Yes, Tasihan" After a while, Hetius, who was wearing a gorgeous silk robe and costume, walked into the tent and saluted Habil and said, "Hetius has seen Tasikan."
"Lord Hetius, please sit down."
Hetius saluted again and sat down on the stool next to him.
Someone brought him wine and mutton to enjoy.
"Thank you for your hospitality.
I wonder why Tachan sent someone to invite me here."
Habier pondered for a moment and sighed: "Master Hetius, to tell you the truth, the batch of ordnance, equipment and food that you supported for our country were robbed by an unknown force just after they were delivered to Atil. , even Atil was burned to ashes, and everyone was killed, including the three thousand cavalrymen left by Ben Khan."
Hetius was extremely shocked: "How could this possibly be done by people from the Western Qin Dynasty?"
"It's impossible.
There are our people everywhere facing the direction of the Western Qin army.
It's impossible for the Western Qin people to fly from the sky to attack Atil.
I will send people to investigate this matter.
The key to the problem now is not who looted it.
Atil, the batch of ordnance, equipment and food that your country supported us are gone.
Without this batch of ordnance and equipment, we will suffer greater losses once we fight the Western Qin army.
After all, cowhide and sheepskin cannot stop arrows.
The shooting of arrows and the chopping of weapons.”
Hetius nodded and asked: "What do you mean?"
Habier said: "Can your country support us with another batch of ordnance?"
"I'm afraid this is not something I can promise you, but don't worry, I will immediately send a letter and send someone back to Constantinople to present it to His Majesty the Emperor.
In order to respect the relationship between our two countries, I believe His Majesty the Emperor should not I will refuse.
After all, if your country loses the war, it will not be a good thing for our country."
A Khazar minister next to him asked: "Lord Hetius, I don't know how long this will take."
Hetius said: "Half a year, at least four months.
You know it will take time to send a message to Constantinople.
The emperor needs to think about it, assemble this batch of ordnance, and then organize the troops and fleets to transport this batch of ordnance." ah" Habier shook his head and said: "It's too long.
I'm afraid we can't wait that long.
Can we move faster?
It's best to transport this batch of ordnance within two months."
"This is impossible, Tacchan" Hetius immediately rejected it, "unless" Habeer immediately asked: "Unless what" "Unless Tachihan directly pays for the purchase, you should know that everything is easy to do if you have money, and nothing is easy to do if you don't have money."
Habir is a miser.

Asking him to pay such a large amount of money is equivalent to cutting off his flesh and drinking his blood.
But now there is only one way to collect such a large batch of ordnance and equipment within two months. .
After thinking about it for a long time, Habier reluctantly agreed: "Okay, Master Hetius, I have lost this money.
Please go and prepare this matter quickly.
When the ordnance comes, I will definitely do it."
I won’t treat you badly” Hetius said: "Then I will make arrangements immediately.
Please tell Cihan to wait for my good news."
Rows of cavalry appeared quietly on the hill.
The blades of their armor rustled as they rubbed against each other.
The war horses snorted constantly.
Under the hill, there was a Khazar tribe with a population of more than 3,000 people.
The residence is located on the edge of a lake with abundant water sources and fodder.
Bolhan held the reins in one hand and stroked the horse's mane with the other.
He stared unblinkingly at the Khazar settlement under the hill.
Smoke rose from every house and tent there, and the sky gradually darkened.
Coming down, the sound of children crying and dogs barking could be heard from time to time in the residence.
A lieutenant standing next to him clasped his fists at Brahan and said: "General, brothers have already investigated clearly.
There are more than 3,000 people in this Khazar camp, more than 12,000 cattle and sheep, and more than 4,000 horses around here.
There are eight small tribes within a hundred miles, all in size.
Smaller than this, there are about a thousand people at most, and only two or three hundred at least.
The rest of our Dragon Guard army went to raid these small tribes separately.
Only this tribe is stronger, and one team may not be able to take it down.
Therefore, the general needs to personally take action.”
"Okay."
Brahan nodded and said, "We'll take advantage of their dinner time.
Are the soldiers ready?"
“Everything is ready” "Kill everyone and livestock within an hour" The captain was a little reluctant to kill all the livestock and advised: "General, just kill these Khazars.
Why kill all the livestock?
We can just drive the livestock back to the camp."
Bo Lahan shook his head and said: "Don't lose the big for the small.
It takes a lot of manpower to drive more than 10,000 livestock back to the camp.
Once we are overtaken by a large group of Khazar troops, we will be in trouble.
Remember, if the livestock is gone, we can go again."
"Fuck, we can't lose our lives because of these, understand."
"Yes, I understand."
Brahan raised his steel spear and shouted at the soldiers: "Soldiers, raise your swords and guns and follow me to rush down the mountain to kill the enemies at the bottom of the mountain.
Use the enemy's corpses to prove your bravery and use the enemy's blood to wash away your hearts."
The cowardice kills every living thing in sight, leaving no one alive, kills” The soldiers who "killed" the Dragon Guard followed Brahan down the hill with their swords and guns raised.
The Khazars in the camp were alarmed, but they had no time to resist.
A rocket fell from the sky.
Many tents and wooden houses began to burn.
People inside ran out one after another.
Those who could not escape were swallowed up by the crowd, but those who ran out were They were hacked and killed again.
There were galloping Western Qin cavalry everywhere, and the corpses of the Khazars were chopped down on the ground
