Zhangye, the banner that covers the sky and the sun is hunting in the wind, and the elite of the 50,000 Tang Army is arrayed in the west of the city, and with the issuance of the military order, it is like a mountain flood that has been accumulated for many days, although the momentum is slow but full of vigor, and all the mud, sand, grass and trees along the way are involved in it.

The Prime Minister of Qin and Jin, the Great Banner, was guarded by more than 1,000 elites, and gradually moved west with the brigade.

This was the first decisive battle launched by the Shenwu army after arriving in Hexi, and since Yusuf had set up a posture in Jiuquan to prepare for a big fight, then it was as he wished.

The current Shenwu Army is by no means the old and weak remnants left in the Western Regions by the Tang Dynasty, and the commanders of Qin and Jin are all veterans of a hundred battles with several years of experience in battles, and they are the steel army that has been achieved through the experience of blood and fire.

The first to lead the way was the cavalry of the Gelulu Division, Gu Lulu re-ascended the throne of Geluo Ye Hu, and his half-brother Mo Jian willingly gave up Ye Hu's position under the judgment of the situation, and even staged a scene of brothers getting back together under the mediation of Qin Jin himself.

Regardless of the reason, the two brothers Gu Lulu and Mo Jianlian "worked together" to work hard for the Tang Dynasty, and Qin and Jin also attached great importance to them, promising to make them generals in the name of the imperial court.

As for the Hasim who was willing to be a servant, he was left by Qin Jin for consultation.

Then, Zhang Yuanzuo's cavalry was responsible for reconnaissance and disturbance, while the real main force of the Tang soldiers was the artillery led by Qing Xuzi and the reorganized Shenwu Army infantry cavalry.

These elites were divided into three echelons and advanced westward, and the momentum was out of control like a flash flood, and the big food stragglers encountered along the way were almost invariably swallowed up by the rolling torrent.

It had been half a day since Yusuf learned the news that the main force of the Tang army was advancing westward, and he had been preparing to deal with all kinds of intrigues and tricks of the Tang people. Because, in the impression of the big cannibal, the current Tang army does not have the strength to compete with it in a short and long way.

From marching into the four towns of Anxi to besieging Zhangye, no Tang soldier could fight against it. Even if the troops were withdrawn in Zhangye, it was because of insufficient calculations and could not obtain the maximum benefits at the minimum cost, and the temporary retreat to Jiuquan was also to lure the enemy to fatigue.

If the Tang Dynasty really planned to recover the lost territory of Anxi, they could only continue to play tricks. However, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who came in person actually played his cards according to common sense, and he actually threw all his elites into him and crashed into it in a daze.

It is precisely because of this that the rangers scattered in the Hexi Corridor were not ready for immediate combat, and were caught off guard and suffered a lot of losses.

After the initial surprise, Yusuf's heart began to get excited, and Tang Bing rushed up so recklessly, saving him the trouble of luring the enemy. In other words, this is exactly what Yusuf wants.

After making up his mind, Yusuf ordered the cavalry to shrink and line up in the Jiuquan area, waiting for the Tang soldiers to collide headlong.

Less than ten years after the change of dynasty, the newly rising Abbasid dynasty has been conquering for many years, and the big * soldiers brought by Yusuf from Khorasan are also veterans of a hundred battles, sweeping through the river and Anxi, and have never encountered an opponent.

Now, the Great Cannibal Elite Soldier has been screaming so hard that he has been forced to preserve his strength by Yusuf, and now he can finally show his skills.

Early the next morning, the first to engage the Great Cannibals were the Qarluq tribes, and the Qarluq tribes were also their old rivals, the Tuqi Shi.

In particular, the bone of Ye Hu, who recaptured the Gollulu Division, can be said to have red eyes and gritted teeth.

On the one hand, he wants to show hard and prove his strength in front of the prime minister, and on the other hand, he has a bitter hatred for Pontele Khan of Turgish.

It was Pontel's collusion with Murthorn that he almost died in the chaos, if it wasn't for his quick opportunity, how could he have a chance to turn over now?

"Kill the old dog of Pontar, take the lead in rewarding cattle and sheep, and the population will be 100 households! Kill a Turk and reward ten cattle and sheep, and ten catties of gold!"

The bounty of the bone is already a heavy reward for the Qarluq tribe, and it can't be heavier. The Qarluqs are also a tribe that licks blood from the edge of their swords, and who can get on a horse and shoot a bow doesn't want this wealth and population?

Therefore, without waiting for the main force of the Shenwu army to arrive, the Qarlu tribe defeated the military formation arranged by the Turgish.

Yusuf was not surprised to learn of the defeat of the Turgish, although the fighting power of these tribal armies was good, but they all had their own evil intentions, and sometimes they took the initiative to defeat, and it was also a means of preserving the population.

It is precisely for this reason that Yusuf has always used the tribal army to strengthen his strength, and it is the big * soldiers who are really used to fight tough battles.

It wasn't until Ponteler Han crawled at Yusuf's feet that he burst into tears and even called the death penalty unforgivable, Yusuf could still show a smiling face.

"Okay, go and gather your subordinates, it's not too late to make meritorious service to atone for this death sin in the future!"

Ponteler was again grateful for a thousand thanks, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

After sending Pontler away, Yusuf felt that this way of kowtowing to the Tang people was a good one, allowing people to have an unprecedented sense of control.

When a man kneels at his feet and weeps, he only needs one word to let him live, and another word to make him die.

"Come on, where is the army of the Tang Dynasty?"

As he asked this, an attendant hurried in.

"The Tang Dynasty striker has arrived outside Jiuquan City!"

This speed of the march surprised Yousufu, and he personally led people to the head of Jiuquan City, and sure enough, there were large clouds of smoke and dust rising from the distance outside the eastern city.

Obviously, the first to arrive were all cavalry, and these people were not in a hurry to attack, but to roam from afar, to reconnoitre.

Yusuf frowned, Tang Bing's actions were unexpected again and again, which made him a little uncomfortable, and decided to give the forward Tang Bing some hardship.

It was not yet noon, and there was enough time to fight, of course, he did not plan to take the initiative, but deliberately put on a flaw to seduce Tang Bing's forward to attack.

The military order was quickly conveyed, and the military formation arranged in the east of Jiuquan began to change its formation, and the bait was released, just waiting for the other party to take the bait.

At this time, ten miles east of Jiuquan and ten miles away from the city, Zhang Yuanzuo had already surpassed the Gelulu Department and was the first to force into the Great Food Army Formation. However, he has the experience of fighting the big cannibal head-on several times, and he was once very embarrassed by the big cannibal, and even the strength of the big cannibal, so he didn't act rashly.

Instead, they hunted the sporadic Great Food Ranger on the periphery to prepare for the arrival of the prime minister and the main force.

"General, the big cannibal deliberately sold a flaw, deliberately luring us to attack, this is Yusuf's usual trick!"

The one who spoke was the Persian general Abu who had been following Zhang Yuanzuo all the time.
