Looking at the third corpse dragged back by the soldiers, the face of Turkic Zuoren King Ashidongtai was already full of frost.
Including the first Turkic Tiger Cavalry Captain Helugezhi who went into battle, three fierce Turkic generals had already died under Yang Zaixing's iron spear.
This also indicates that in this battle with a stake, the Turkic Left King Ashitungtai has lost three battles and lost 30,000 war horses.
The Turkic Left King Ashindontai did not feel sad about losing 30,000 war horses. The Turkic Khanate was rich in war horses. For example, the 360,000 Turkic cavalrymen who came to Liang this time basically had two horses each, and many Turkic soldiers even had three horses each.
Even if he lost all twelve duels and lost 120,000 war horses to the Liang army, A Shidongtai could afford it.
The problem was that Ashidongtai originally wanted to steal a batch of grain from the Liang army, but he didn't expect that the trap he dug would trap him himself. The three Turkic generals who were once feared on the grassland were all killed by a general of the Liang army.
It doesn’t matter if you lose some war horses or a few brave generals die, but if you really lose twelve battles in a row, the Turkic Khanate will become a laughing stock on the grassland.
At this time, the Turkic general Helu Tieshi said in a deep voice: "Prince Zuo Ren, the Liang general Yang Zaixing's martial arts skills may be comparable to Pugudali. Even if we send more people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat him."
Pugudali, another commander of the Turkic Tiger Cavalry, was known as the first warrior of the Turkic Khanate.
The Turkic Left King Ashi Dongtai pondered for a moment and said, "Now we can only discuss with the Liang people. Each general participating in the battle can only participate in three games at most."
The two sides had not previously stipulated how many rounds participants could fight. The Turkic side now made this request, obviously because they were afraid of Yang Zaixing, who had already killed three Turkish generals in a row.
Sun Hao readily agreed to this sudden request made by the Turks.
Even if the Turks did not bring it up, Sun Hao was ready to replace them. Even if Yang Zaixing and other "hundred-level" warriors were powerful warriors, no matter how powerful their martial arts were, they still had a problem with physical strength.
So in the fourth battle, Sun Hao sent Liu Yu to replace Yang Zaixing.
Next, Liu Yu, Long Qie and Ma Yuan took turns to fight and each killed three fierce Turkic generals, which led to the Liang army winning twelve games in a row.
The Turkic King Zuoren, Ashidongtai, was very trustworthy and readily sent over 120,000 war horses.
Subsequently, 360,000 Turkic cavalry, led by Ashtontai, quickly withdrew to the Turkic Khanate.
During the retreat, Ashi Dongtai asked the commander of ten thousand men, Helu Tieshi, "Those four brave generals of the Liang army are all from the Zhenxi Army, right?"
The captain of ten thousand men, Helu Tieshi, nodded and said, "Indeed, they are all from the Zhenxi Army. It seems that there is a reason why the Zhenxi Army can dominate the Western Regions."
A Shidongtai sighed and said, "In recent years, Liang State has suffered such severe natural and man-made disasters, but it has still been able to establish a strong army like the Zhenxi Army. It really has a deep foundation.
It seems that if the Khanate wants to take over the four northeastern states of Liang, it will have to wait for an opportunity."
The captain of ten thousand men, Helu Tieshi, then said, “I heard that the Khan intends to unite with the other three Khanates to divide the northern part of Liang.
If the four Khanates could truly unite, even if Liang State transferred all its border troops and imperial guards to the north, it would still be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
A Shidongtai shook his head. "The four Khanates are full of conflicts with each other. If they could really unite, perhaps the entire Liang State would have become their pasture long ago."
The Liang army did not take any major action in response to the retreat of the Turkic army. They only sent some cavalry to monitor the Turkic army as it retreated back to the grassland.
Given Sun Hao's temper, he was certainly unwilling to let the invading Turkic army go easily. However, the army to suppress the rebellion was composed of eight border armies, and the generals of the other border armies did not want to create any more trouble, so Sun Hao did not mention the matter of pursuing the Turkic army.
Afterwards, Sun Hao reported the victory to the court while gathering the bandits in Yizhou, preparing to move all the bandits in Yizhou to Xizhou.
Just when Sun Hao organized the Yizhou bandits to migrate to Xizhou, another coalition force of the Western Regions against the Zhenxi Army finally officially raised its flag in the territory of Puwan.
At this time, in the territory of Puwan State, in addition to the 500,000 troops of Puwan State that had been incorporated into the coalition forces, there were also 400,000 troops of Cheshi State, 100,000 troops of Parthia State, and 800,000 troops of nine major Western Regions countries, namely Yanzi, Yuli, Pilu, Shaye, Kangju, Shache, Qumo, Wuli, and Xiuye.
In addition, there were forty-six small countries in the Western Regions, which gathered a total of 600,000 troops and arrived at Puwan.
The forty-six small countries in the Western Regions also included the 50,000 troops of the former Wensu Kingdom.
As a result, the total strength of this new Western Region coalition army has reached an astonishing 2.4 million.
In order to deal with the new coalition army formed by the Western Regions countries, the Zhenxi Protectorate expanded its troops into 800,000 in a short period of time and recruited more than 2 million local militiamen to help guard the cities of Xizhou.
The commander-in-chief of the Western Region coalition forces this time was Diyad, a famous general of the Parthian Empire.
Diyad was not only a famous general of the Parthian Empire, but also a famous general of the entire Western Regions. He had fought against the armies of many Western countries and had almost never been defeated.
Therefore, although the Parthian Empire only sent 100,000 troops this time, Diyad was still elected as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
After Diyad led his army into Puwan State, he immediately sent people to find Duke Aisezi of the former Wensu State.
In Diyad's opinion, although Duke Aisezi had been defeated by the Zhenxi Army many times and even the Wensu Kingdom was annexed by the Zhenxi Army, Duke Aisezi must be very familiar with the Zhenxi Army. That's why Diyad was eager to meet Duke Aisezi, hoping to understand the Zhenxi Army more thoroughly.
