"Hasim!"

Yusuf's eyes burst with cold flames, and Hasim was frightened, and thinking that he was in danger, he fell to his knees and prostrated himself in front of Yusuf, kissing his spotless boots.

"A great and courageous general, Hasim is willing to be a faithful servant of the general for the rest of his life......"

Crackling a bunch of words, all in all, one meaning, he is willing to be Yusuf's loyal lackey and eagle dog.

Yusuf smiled, and understood why Hasim was so groveling.

"Get up, when did I say I'm going to kill you?"

Hasim looked at Yusuf in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice:

"General, does the general really not kill villains?"

"When do I talk and don't count? Not only will I not kill you, but I will also let you lead another army and defeat that Tang Dynasty person, and you will be ashamed!"

Hearing this, Hasim once again frowned, he is a self-aware person, knowing that his catties are not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty at all, even if there is another chance, I am afraid it will be inevitable that the whole army will be wiped out.

was hesitating, but listened to Yousufu:

"Don't worry, this time with me in charge, those Tang Dynasty people can't get cheap!"

"Huh?"

Hassim's mouth closed in surprise, wondering what Yusuf was planning.

……

In a nameless valley, densely packed with tens of thousands of military horses, Zhang Yuanzuo's eyes showed unconcealable worry. With so many war horses, forage alone is a big problem, and before he left from Jie Dan, he did carry a lot of forage, but it was almost consumed before attacking Jiuquan.

After the attack on Jiuquan, he was resupplied again, and now he has eaten half of it, and the remaining fodder is only enough to last for seven or eight days. If no supplies can be found after seven or eight days, I am afraid that some of these war horses will starve to death one after another.

In fact, the cavalry attack is not just a cavalry attack, a cavalry must have at least one retinue responsible for carrying forage armor, after snatching the war horses of the Cutan Horse Farm, the current situation is four or five horses per person, and the supplies are simply not enough.

However, even if he realized these problems, Zhang Yuanzuo couldn't come up with a solution for a while, so he could only take one step at a time.

At least so far, the Shenwei army has won battles, and every step of the attack has left the Great Cannibal unresponsive, and it is hoped that the Hasim sent back will succeed in provoking Yusuf so that he is likely to mess up and make some stupid decisions.

In this way, it can also do more for the prime minister's main army.

This valley is the only place in the Gobi along the way where vegetation grows, and there are also plants that can be eaten by war horses.

In the next few days, his cavalry will not make a big deep transfer, but stay in this nameless valley to recuperate, of course, the main purpose is to observe the movements of the big cannibal, as long as the big cannibal has a movement, the five thousand cavalry can move.

"Newspaper! The Great Food Cavalry is galloping in all directions, and the scale is about 3,000 ......."

Only three thousand?

Zhang Yuanzuo was a little incredulous, was Yusufu dizzy with anger, or did he not take his 5,000 people in his eyes at all? No matter from that point of view, a normal coach would not send 3,000 people to take revenge, right?

"Probe, report!"

He was always convinced that Yusuf was not a stupid person, and there must be some details that he did not notice.

But the reconnaissance lasted a whole day, and there were no reinforcements sent from the direction of Zhangye except for the 3,000 cavalry.

At this point, even if Zhang Yuanzuo was suspicious, he felt that he had been too worried before, even if he was really tired, when he annihilated all the three thousand strange soldiers, he might not be able to rush for reinforcements.

Early the next morning, a huge herd of war horses poured out of the valley and rushed straight at the 3,000 cannibal cavalry that was rushing towards the enemy.

The Great Food Cavalry soon discovered the Tang Dynasty cavalry, and seeing that the other party was strong, they only sent a small number of special harassment reconnaissance, and most of the men and horses turned around and ran.

Zhang Yuanzuo was not willing to let go of the fat that was sent to his mouth easily, with the advantage of four or five horses per person, they had enough stamina to catch up with and annihilate this fleeing enemy.

After chasing for most of the day, seeing that both sides were exhausted, the cavalry turned around and came up to meet them, and set up a posture of fighting more with less.

After all, the big food soldiers are not easy to match, after really close combat, Zhang Yuanzuo found that the combat effectiveness of the big food soldiers is far from comparable to the Persians, their riding skills are more exquisite, and the will to fight is more tenacious.

This alone is not something that ordinary armies can do. Including the Tang Dynasty, except for a few armies, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight this kind of headwind battle.

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty won more than many people, and Zhang Yuanzuo certainly would not be frightened, but he would never fight hard, so it was still the same old routine, grinding down the morale of the enemy soldiers on the one hand, and consuming the vitality of the enemy soldiers with cavalry and archery on the other. But this cavalry was obviously not very cooperative, and blindly tried to fight a charge. Among them, the cavalry on the left flank was almost bitten several times, which surprised Zhang Yuanzuo.

However, the main force of the Shenwei Army is the Tubo people, these people have always been extremely brave in battle, and they have long been full of resentment by Zhang Yuanzuo's shrinking style of play, and now seeing that the big food soldiers are so desperate, they have asked Zhang Yuanzuo to fight.

The Tubo soldiers were able to save their lives because of Zhang Yuanzuo, and these Tubo soldiers were very convinced of him, and the so-called resentment was naturally aimed at the big food soldiers.

Zhang Yuanzuo also felt that tactics could not be rigid and unchanged, and once the situation had to be a last resort, it was natural to fight desperately.

Now it seems that it is inevitable to fight a tough battle!

"Left and right flanks, outflank the big food soldiers!"

After the order was given, the cavalry on the left and right flanks stopped wandering and harassed, and instead charged into formation.

In an instant, the three cavalry streams inevitably collided together. The Great Eater was attacked from both sides, but still stubbornly resisted, and after the speed advantage of both sides was neutralized, the battlefield gradually evolved into a large-scale melee.

'All, dismount and fight!'

The cavalry lost the advantage of speed and was even inferior to the infantry, so Zhang Yuanzuo ordered to dismount and fight on foot, striving to kill all the Great Eater cavalry in one fell swoop.

However, this big food soldier actually did the same, and they dismounted and fought on foot, the two armies were stuck together, and it was difficult to distinguish them, and Zhang Yuanzuo's face began to become ugly.

He suddenly realized that after falling into the melee, his men and horses also lost their speed advantage, as if they were stuck in a dog's skin plaster, and it was not easy to get rid of it calmly.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanzuo immediately ordered the right wing cavalry to leave the battlefield, but as he thought, the big food soldiers were entangled to death, saying that they would not let them leave a step.

Zhang Yuanzuo frowned frequently, feeling that today's battle was a bit of a mistake, if he hadn't been too careless, or if he had a little more patience, he wouldn't have ordered a hard confrontation with these big food soldiers.

Now that they can't disengage, they can only fight to the end and completely defeat them.

The Tibetan people live in the bitter cold land of the plateau all the year round, and their endurance and combat effectiveness are far superior to the big cannibals.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanzuo suddenly received a military report that a cavalry with a scale of about 10,000 people appeared thirty miles away and was approaching here at an extremely fast speed.

Counting the time it took for the horses to return, this Great Eclipse Cavalry might be less than twenty miles away from the Shenwei Army.

Zhang Yuanzuo's pupils contracted suddenly, and he realized that he had been tricked, and Yousufu used these 3,000 food soldiers as bait, the purpose of which was to completely entangle them on the battlefield, consume most of their morale and physical strength, and then attack with most of them and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Zhang Yuanzuo knew that the more he reached the last moment, the more he could not panic, and if he rashly ordered the forced withdrawal of the army now, it would probably bring disastrous consequences, and the five thousand Tubo soldiers were likely to be explained here.

He regretted that he still had too little experience in his battle formation and did not see through Yusuf's tricks. But at this point, no matter how much you regret it, you can only completely defeat this force of 3,000 remnants of the Great Eclipse Army as bait, and you must defeat it before the Great Eclipse 10,000 cavalry arrives, so that it is possible to leave this place of right and wrong.

After having this thought, Zhang Yuanzuo no longer hesitated, and pressed up with the last thousand people sitting in the town, including those war horses used for transfers, and rushed forward.

The addition of the new force made the Great Food Soldiers more and more overwhelmed, but they still insisted on refusing to escape.

Only now did Zhang Yuanzuo realize the strength of the big cannibals, and knew that they could not be underestimated, otherwise how could anyone be willing to act as a decoy without fear of dying in battle?

However, the balance of strength soon favored Zhang Yuanzuo, and no matter how strong the cannibal was, he would not be able to withstand the crushing of strength in the end. After a full day of fierce fighting, the three thousand food soldiers finally collapsed.

Only this time, Zhang Yuanzuo couldn't chase as hard as he did against Hasim, he gathered his wings and horses as fast as he could, and galloped towards the north.

The reason why there was no retreat to Jiuquan to the west was because the Persians were unreliable. They were able to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and of course they would once again turn to the Great Eclipse after the situation reversed. Jiuquan was definitely not a suitable choice, and it was full of Gobi Desert, and without the supply of the city and walled fortresses, it was almost impossible for the army to survive in the wild. And to the north is different, after turning over the Tu Mountain, there are large areas of grassland and woodland in the north, although it cannot be compared with the Delete Dan, but it is always stronger than those barren Gobi.

"Report, the Great Food Cavalry is less than five miles away from our army!"

The distance of five miles was almost a blink of an eye for the cavalry, and Zhang Yuanzuo did not hesitate to urge his troops to speed up the evacuation......
