Screams and roars accompanied the killings one after another.
Although these Khazars had some crude weapons, they were unable to resist the raid of the Western Qin army.
They were no match at all.
After a while, the camp was covered with corpses.
And the killing didn't stop.
An hour later, the fighting subsided, but the fire in the camp was still burning.
"General, take care of them all.
These Khazars were having dinner just now.
Now these dinners are just cheaper for us."
Brahan ordered: "Let the soldiers seize the time to eat and drink enough.
Each person carries ten kilograms of roasted meat.
We will leave in two quarters of an hour."
"yes" Burhan and Ma Sui each led 500 men, and they were divided into several teams.
Each team acted alone, looking for Khazar camps and residences in various places to conduct raids.
When they encountered large groups of Khazar cavalry, they would bypass them and attack them.
Just run away and never give the Khazar army a chance to catch up.
As a result, war broke out in the central and northern grasslands of the Khazar Khanate.
Many Khazar tribes were wiped out, and their residences were burned to ashes.
Residents and herders were killed, and all cattle, sheep, and horses were not spared.
The news soon spread to the Khazar army camp.
After hearing this, Habier was furious: "The people of Western Qin are hateful, despicable, and shameless.
How could they do this?"
None of the Khazar ministers and generals in the tent spoke.
Some of them muttered in their hearts, isn't this how two tribes fight and two countries fight on the prairie?
This is the most common way to eliminate each other.
Is it any wonder that you can use this method to deal with others?
Are you not allowed to use this method to deal with you?
Habier smashed a lot of things, his anger finally calmed down a little, and he regained some sense.
He asked: "Our residential areas and herdsmen camps in the north and central parts have been attacked and looted.
How can the Western Qin army be like this?"
Are all the tribesmen in the places where there are many soldiers and horses dead?
How can you let them attack without resisting?"
The minister smiled bitterly and said: "Answer, the Western Qin army was divided into many small groups.
They dispersed their attacks, and almost all of them were sneak attacks.
They either chose to attack when the tribesmen were eating or when they were sleeping.
It was impossible to guard against them.
There was no chance to resist and they hit and ran. , we sent a large group of soldiers and horses to pursue them, but they had fewer people and more horses.
Each of them was equipped with three horses.
Our cavalry could not catch up at all.
When our cavalry got tired, they turned around and attacked us.
This half In the past few months we have lost forty-three settlements and camps, killed The number of tribesmen reached more than 60,000, and they lost more than 3,000 soldiers and horses.
There is another extremely important thing.
Under the leadership of Zhao Ziliang, the Western Qin army marched southward in a swaggering and open manner.
They killed all our tribesmen along the way. , robbed them of their belongings and took away all the cattle Sheep and horses, and their marching speed is very fast.
We simply cannot send people to rule the tribes’ settlements further south in time to relocate.

If this continues, they will never lack food and clothing by robbing our tribesmen’s food and livestock.
They will The more we fight, the stronger we become, and the more we fight, the weaker we become.”
Compared with Zhao Ziliang leading his army all the way south, burning, killing and looting along the way, the looting and destruction of the settlements and camps of small tribes in the north and central part seemed less serious.
At this time, Bulan, who was the captain of the army, stood up and said to Habier: "Tacihan, this is Zhao Ziliang's countermeasure against us using the hide-and-seek method to wait for an opportunity to attack them.
He is using this method to try to To force our army to engage in a decisive battle with them, Taqihan, you must not fall into his scheme."
A captain of ten thousand men stood up and said: "Tachan, if we don't fight them first and let them continue like this, all the people of the Khazar Khanate will suffer.
In the end, we, the Khazar Khanate, will suffer."
The Khanate is over.
Is the Khazar Khanate without its people still the Khazar Khanate?
The Western Qin people are shaking the foundation of our country.
We can't hide like this anymore.
We must fight them as soon as possible to prevent the people from being harmed. greater losses."
Bu Lan was angry at the Chief of Ten Thousands: "The people of Western Qin are going to use this method to force us to show up.
If we do this, wouldn't it just frighten them?
They must have other back-ups.
If we show up rashly, You will definitely suffer a big loss, please think twice."
Habier originally wanted to use the opportunity of negotiation to hand over Bu Lan to Xi Qin for execution, but he did not expect that the negotiation failed.
In this way, he had no excuse to continue to cause trouble for Bu Lan.
He wanted to kill Bu Lan in his heart.
Blue, so he couldn't listen to anything Blue said.
On the contrary, he thought that Bu Lan was unkind, so the more Bu Lan refused to let him lead his troops to a decisive battle with the Western Qin Army, the more he wanted to lead his troops to a decisive battle with the Western Qin Army.
However, this matter was too big for him to make a decision at the moment. determination.
It was not until three days later that a minister hurried into the big tent and reported to Habier: "Tacihan, something bad has happened.
The Western Qin army has entered the southern part of our country and is marching towards Samandal.
Their goal is to attack Samandhar" "What is this Samandar?"
All the ministers and generals in the tent were stunned.
After a while, a minister stood up and shouted: "Tacihan, we can't hide any longer.
We must not let the Western Qin army attack Samandar.
Thirty years ago, Our old capital, Barungal, was attacked by a large cannibal army.
Everyone in the city was killed.
The hundreds of years of efforts of our ancestors were ruined.
If Saman Daer was destroyed again, and Taqihan's efforts over the years were in vain, and tribesmen from all over the country will think that this situation was caused by Taqihan's incompetence, and Taqihan's rule will be shaken as a result.
Please answer Taqihan.
Han ordered the army to fight against the Western Qin army.
No matter what, we can no longer hide.
Even if we lose, we can still negotiate with the Western Qin people."
All the ministers and generals in the big tent stood up and said in unison: "Please answer Cihan's order to fight to the death with the Western Qin Dynasty."
Faced with the unified opinion of all the ministers and generals, Habir knew that he could no longer persist.
He had to make this decision.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Pass this Khan's order, and all the men will do it immediately."
Prepare, and after eating, immediately go south to pursue the Western Qin army and fight it decisively."
"Taci Han is wise" In a poplar forest 140 miles away from the Khazar army camp, Duan Xiushi and his 1,800 cavalry were hiding here.
They had been hiding here for five days, and they were also looking for the Khazar army.
The specific location of the camp, but this area is too big and the terrain is complex.
It is too difficult to find a camp with only tens of thousands of people in this huge area.

But the day after the Khazar army broke camp and headed south to pursue the Western Qin army, their whereabouts were discovered by a sentinel sent out by Duan Xiushi to investigate.
"Why did you finally discover the whereabouts of the Khazar army?
Where are they?"
Duan Xiushi immediately asked the sentry who reported the report.
The sentry replied: "When the brothers discovered them, they were one hundred and forty miles away to the east of our army.
They were heading south, and they were marching very fast."
After hearing this, Duan Xiushi slapped his head and said: "I understand, the main force of our army is marching towards their capital Samandal.
The Khazar people must be worried that Samandal will be attacked, so they can't sit still, so they show up."
Prepare for a decisive battle with the main force of our army.
Use the flying eagle to report to the king and order the entire army to prepare for departure.
We must hang far behind the Khazar army and wait for the opportunity."
"promise" When Zhao Ziliang received Duan Xiushi's Flying Eagle letter, he had already received the Huya Army's report on the whereabouts of the Khazar army the day before.
In terms of tracking the enemy's whereabouts and conducting reconnaissance, the Huya Army was still better than other Western Qin army's sentinels.
Much more.
Zhao Ziliang was riding a horse while walking on the grass with corpses everywhere, while looking at the small note handed over by Wang Can, he told Wang Can: "Reply to Duan Xiushi and ask them to be careful not to expose their whereabouts and be scouted by Khazarian rangers.
Found it” "Yes, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang then told Bai Xiaode: "Let the soldiers speed up the cleaning of the battlefield and clear out this place.
We will camp here today and we will not leave tomorrow.
We will just wait here to relax and wait for the decisive battle of the Khazar army."
"promise" Zhao Ziliang stopped his horse on a hill and looked into the distance.
Next to him, Yang Yuhuan looked at the endless corpses on the ground below, her face turned pale.
She couldn't help but persuade him: "Zhao Lang, it is common to kill people in wars, but these are innocent people." civilians, why do you want to kill As for them, they didn't offend you and Western Qin.
They offended you were the Khazar kings and their court.
If you want to find someone to settle the score, go to them.
Don't kill these poor innocent people.
God has a good heart and kills indiscriminately.
Being innocent is not good after all, so why should you commit more crimes?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "In the battle between us and the Khazars, they had the advantage of the location, the people, and we could only rely on the timing.
It was the Khazars who came first regardless of morality.
We, the Western Qin Dynasty, were famous for attacking the Khazar Khanate." , This is our only advantage if we can kill less or not kill unarmed civilians, of course I am not willing to commit more crimes.
They use the terrain and the cover of local tribesmen to fight with us.
Hide and seek, and then wait for an opportunity to sneak attack on our army.
Now I use this method to deal with them, and it is a last resort.
If I don't do this, then more of our soldiers will die.
Do you want me to watch my soldiers die?
Rather than letting the Khazars die, you must know that I am the king of the Western Qin people, not the king of the Khazars.
I am not noble enough to let my own people die rather than let foreigners die."
Yang Yuhuan sighed: "Is there no other way?"
"No, there is no other way":
