Section 108 Assault on the Capital (1)
Ashina Vendon gathered hundreds of thousands of people to control the strings, launched the attack on a large area, and marched along the Black Sea, not afraid of the enemy bypassing him to advance, so according to his thoughts, the rear was very stable.
Moreover, he still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers left in the city of Kuzasolo.
Confined to the thinking of the people of that era, he did not expect that the Tang Army had steamboats, which could tow a large number of barges (ships without self-propelled ability, shallow draft, large carrying capacity), and transported tens of thousands of cavalry (one man and two horses) led by Tang Tingxuan, they arrived at the Crimean Peninsula, and then crossed the Kerch Strait, entered the Sea of Azov, put down small boats in the area of Dengden at the mouth of the Don River, sent experienced marines to explore the way, and immediately began large-scale landing operations after taking control of the fishing villages by the sea.
Because they had been adrift at sea for so long, the officers and men had reached an unsurpassed thirst for land, and at this time the whole landing operation proceeded with great speed without any mobilization, and just before dawn, all the combat units had been safely moved to land and began to repair and recover near the fishing village.
Well, the Tang army did not sail here, why was the navigation so accurate?
They brought a man named "Kang Ladan", this guy was born in a noble family, and his family was almost killed, but he was as timid as a mouse and took refuge in the Tang people and became the leading party of the Tang people.
He had been to the city of Kuzasoro, and he told the Don army that they had gone along the Black Sea (this reference was the best way to navigate), and when they arrived at one place, they were divided into two sides, the edge of the Sea of Azov on one side, the Black Sea on the other, and the mouth of the Don River that he still knew.
So the Tang army played the role of a "telescope", they were not far from the coastline, but farther away, so far that others could not see them, but they were still able to see the land.
Navigating by land, the gods arrived at their destination without realizing it.
At that time, the population was sparse and the fishing industry did not suit the Khazar Khanate, and no fishermen discovered their whereabouts, allowing them to go ashore at the mouth of the Don River without danger.
After a day's rest, the army was rejuvenated, knowing that the news could not be concealed for a long time, and his time was getting less and less, so when the army had just recovered, Tang Tingxuan couldn't wait to give the order to set off.
This army with a desperate mentality tried its best to pick some remote barren mountain paths to march quickly, and at the same time sent experienced scout detachments to ensure both sides, because it was a matter of life and death for the whole army, the young boy Tang Tingxuan put away all his compassion at this moment, and ordered that all the tribes and homeless people he met along the way be killed, and all the villages he encountered on the march were slaughtered, so as not to leak the news.
This road is really bloody, killing people all the way, and the number of innocent deaths has reached thousands in a few days, and when he arrived near Kuzasolo City, Tang Tingxuan had already completed his transformation, and he was able to watch hundreds of people lose their heads in front of him without moving a little, as if he had trampled a few ants to death on the road.
"His hands are covered with blood, and he has committed a heinous crime!" Tang Tingxuan thought in his heart, what he saw from the eyes of his subordinates was a strong respect, and when they saluted him, it was quite respectful.
Perhaps in their eyes, he has become a very cruel and bloodthirsty person, worthy of their respect.
couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sure enough, the road to famous generals is all killed!" Father (Wei Xi) is right, 'Killing one is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand is a hero, slaughtering nine million, one is a male among the males'! ”
"Men should kill, kill mercilessly, immortal karma, all in killing!"
"My father fought all the way, destroying countless countries and slaughtering clans, there should be nine million, I am already a male among the males, and I am also a male!"
"Looking at the world for 5,000 years, where heroes don't kill! Father's "Men's Walk" really writes the murderous style of my generation! Tang Tingxuan's mentality gradually calmed down.
……
The last sunset of the Khazar Khanate looked so splendid that it is said that many years later the old people would remember the sunset, which covered the entire western side and was as scarlet as blood.
The city of Kuzasolo was defenseless, and it never dreamed that an enemy would stand at their gates without knowing it.
The city of Kuzasolo, located between the Don and Volga rivers, is exceptionally fertile and the pastures grow vigorously.
This is a steppe city, the city is not high, and after it was established, no enemy has ever arrived, and the defense is unusually lax.
Although there are tens of thousands of elites, they are caught off guard and scattered everywhere.
When the city gates were about to be closed that day, a group of khanate cavalry escorted a noble man to rush quickly.
There are still pedestrians on the road who complain and have to give way obediently.
Then the passers-by saw an astonishing scene, and the nobleman actually disliked the soldiers of the city gate and came forward to check on them, and the nobleman brazenly ordered: "Kill them!" ”
So the cavalry brandished their sabers and slashed fiercely, screaming loudly!
Not to mention that the city gate soldiers were killed so much that they stretched their necks and were cut off, and the pedestrians were also stunned!
At the feet of the Great Khan, he didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, but he dared to kill the soldiers of the city gate, and he rebelled?!
Then everyone woke up, and it was really the opposite!
A black army appeared outside the city wall, and I don't know how many people were surging in the dark night, but at this moment, it was like an angry wave crashing on the shore, swarming into the city like a tide.
More than a hundred cavalry rushed to the front, rushing straight towards the inner city, rampage along the way, passers-by dodged in a hurry, and cursed loudly for this strangely equipped army, where else did they come from, such good equipment!
But the scolding continued, and they were shocked to find that the cavalry just now was only the vanguard, and there was actually a large army behind it, and layer after layer of cavalry instantly filled the entire street.
Hot blood was sprinkled all over the ground, the headless body was trampled under the feet of the soldiers, and then turned into a puddle of mud, people looked at the swarming soldiers in disbelief, for a while they were a little stupid, the soldiers who rushed to the front ran faster and faster, their eyes were red like ghosts, and they slashed away when they encountered pedestrians blocking the road without looking at them, and when the white blade was on the neck, I didn't know who shouted, and the people on the street fled in an instant, and the lively streets suddenly fell silent, like a ghost domain.
The rolling torrent of steel lit torches, fought with open flames, marched all the way, killed people all the way, and encountered no decent resistance along the way!
Under the guidance of the rare and rare leader of the leading party Kang Ladan, Tang Qi went straight to the largest military camp in the city!
There was no defense in the barracks at all, and they did not rush into battle until the Tang cavalry rushed into the camp, only to be shot and slashed one by one in the hands of the army armed to the teeth.
After the largest resistance force disappeared, Tang Tingxuan personally led the main force of the Tang army to the court of the king of Khazar Khan!
