Note: this is my very first TL expect many mistakes in this. Feed back is welcome. March 17 161 CE. 20 km north of the parthian empire.
TÖMÖRBAATAR, leader of the warriors of tengri, rode through the plains of central Asia raiding individual city states that still stood, his army waiting for a battle to prove their might. Then they stopped at a lone city state on the coast of the Caspian sea. The city was rich in gold and livestock: a prime target for all hunnic tribes. While seeming to be an easy target, TÖMÖRBAATAR saw that the city had large walls, had many military patrols, indicating of a large military presence, and had the bones of horses and hunnic solders meaning that others had tried to invade the city and failed to destroy it. TÖMÖRBAATAR then knew that he could not just charge in and burn the city, he would need a few days to make a battle plan to minimize losses.
March 18 161 CE.
TÖMÖRBAATAR sat on his horse on a hill viewing the city. His son, Çöl kurt, suggested a plan to first burn down the wooden walls, then charge at night from three directions forward, left flank, and right flank. If done correctly and at night time, the defenders would retreat into the water where they would be destroyed with ease. TÖMÖRBAATAR approved this plan and promoted his son to command the right flank.
March 19 161 CE
Çöl kurt sent the scouting party to burn the walls while they enemy sleeps. Let them walk to their home on flame he thought. Then he waited for a signal to charge. Bewildered men came out of the barracks, that was the signal, he charged into the right flank. The enemy did not even try to stand once they saw a swarm of horsemen charging at them in all three directions firing arrows. They went right where he wanted them to go to, into the water. The battle was easy just hacking at the defenders until there were none left. He rewarded his men with the richest gold, the finest livestock, and the most beautiful women. He noticed that his father drank from the city wells, even though it had many dead around it. Çöl kurt let some of the defenders escape south towards the parthian desert to spread the fame of the warriors of tengri.
March 21 161 CE
TÖMÖRBAATAR starts coughing and running with fever. He is unable to move from his horse.
March 30th 161 CE
Vologases IV of the parthian empire is planning a campaign against the roman empire, parthia's worst enemy. The romans thought they had defeated the children of zoroaster, but that will be there downfall, Vologases would teach the prideful romans who the real master of Mesopotamia... Vologases then learned of survivors of a raid from the tribes of the north. Normal, except that the city was well defended and the way it was captured was the work of a great general. While Vologases IV was weary of the tribes of the north and the trouble it caused his country, he thought to unleash that trouble on the romans who had never experienced such kind of foe ever before . yes this man and his army would be good to have to trouble the romans while his army crushed the cities that the Romans left open. After the romans were pushed back they would be in shock a the new super power of Mesopotamia. Of course he would make the tribe fight the roman armies while his army would take cities, this way there would be less mercenaries to pay in the end. He would sent his diplomats to lure the tribe into the battlefield with promise of weath. What can stop him now?
April 1-16 161 CE
TÖMÖRBAATAR died of typhoid and was succeeded by his son. His scouts have found a parthian diplomat escorted by armed guards towards their general location. Çöl kurt ordered his clan to wait for this diplomat to arrive. He was interested to see what parthia wanted with a unrecognized clan following the ways tengri. He did not know that time was over for normal hunnic life and the beginning of something that will change history.
