After Lou Fan intercepted the supply line of the Turkic White Eyebrow King, Hong Kui immediately asked Samurton to cut off Lou Fan's supply line. According to the foregoing, when Lou Fan attacked the Turkic supply camp, he actually captured a lot of supplies. Although there was no supply line, it was no problem to hold on for a month or two. Over there, the White Eyebrow King, Jiuyuan City was originally a necessary place for the Turks to invade the Central Plains from the west, and its strategic position was extremely important, and the city had considerable material reserves. After cutting off the supply lines, Hung Kui withdrew Samurton's 5,000 cavalry as well. Hong Kui deployed the remaining wolves on Lou Fan's supply line, and when they encountered the supplies of a small group of armed guards, the wolves took care of it themselves, and when they encountered a large force, Samurton's cavalry intercepted it.
At the same time, both sides constantly sent scouts to scout each other's things, and from time to time sent small groups of elite horsemen to attack each other's sentry horses. And so it was a month.
One day, Lou Fan held a military meeting, decided to send troops the next day, and informed Yang Yi, and the two armies proceeded as planned.
In Jiuyuan City here, King Baimei is also calculating the time for the arrival of reinforcements, and it seems that a month will pass, and he expects that the reinforcements will arrive soon, so he has already made preparations.
On this day, Lou Fan's army marched to the foot of Jiuyuan City, beating drums and fighting, but the Turks could not hold out. After doing this for three days, Lou Fan had no choice but to make a deviation like this.
On the next day, Lou Fanjun lined up again, lined up in three teams of people in the front, middle and rear. In the front, the shield men were in front, the infantry spears were in front, and the crossbowmen were closely followed behind, and thousands of elite horsemen were divided into two wings. Unlike in previous days, there were a lot of siege engines behind the infantry. In the Chinese army, Lou Fan sat in the middle of the team, holding the command flag and arrows, the horse's victory hook hung with a spear, the bow carved under the saddle, and the sword hanging from the waist, which looked majestic.
A general reported: "General, the army is complete!" Lou Fan nodded slightly. The general said: "Order!" After that, with a flick of the horse and a whip, he soon arrived in front of the front army, stopped a stone's throw away from Jiuyuan City, and roared: "The enemy army in the city listens: Listen to the order of General Zhengxi, all those who surrender to Cheng Cheng will be spared death and released to their homeland after the war." Those who dare to resist will be killed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow came down from the city. That will pull the reins of the war horse and turn around and return to the team. Seeing this, Lou Fan waved the flag. The commander of the former army commanded the army to attack the city, only to see the soldiers march forward in line when they heard the order, and soon arrived at the bottom of the city. The Turkic army upstairs kept dropping arrows, and the Tang soldiers below also kept counterattacking, and the soldiers on both sides had arrows, and the wailing continued, and from time to time soldiers fell.
Soon, the vanguard of the Tang army arrived under the city walls, and the soldiers quickly set up ladders. Just as he was about to enter the city, he suddenly heard the signal of Mingjin from behind to withdraw his troops, and the soldiers kept in line and quickly retreated. Hong Kui upstairs, see it in his eyes and put it in his heart. The spy Tang army is well-trained, and Li Weigong's battle array is indeed extraordinary.
The white-eyed king said: "Teacher, look." The army retreated. Hong Kui was stunned for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, look, the fire behind the Tang army is blazing, and the smoke is billowing out. Presumably reinforcements have arrived. I think we should open the city and attack the Tang army in front and back!" Soon, the 15,000 troops lined up in line, and they saw Hong Kui wearing a helmet and armor, a burqa, a large sword, and a battle robe, which looked majestic. Samurton and the tour subway rushed, and the two giants lined up on both sides. With a wave of Hong Kui's sword, the north gate of Jiuyuan was opened, and the Turkic cavalry attacked on all fronts. Soon, Hong Kui's 10,000 men caught up with the troops of the Tang army. Along the way, Na Hongkui had been observing the situation behind the Tang Army, and sure enough, he saw smoke and dust billowing behind him and flags flashing.
Here, Lou Fan saw that the Turkic army had come out, and urgently ordered the army to attack. The two armies were in a mess in an instant, shouting and killing one after another. In the formation of the Turkic army, Samurton and You Memo Chong two generals, one in the lead, one left and one right, two big swords, killing the enemy on the battlefield, such as chopping vegetables and cutting melons, where can the Tang army resist. The Turkic army soon rushed into the Tang army's formation, and Hong Kui used the cavalry's ability to maneuver quickly to constantly intersperse and divide the Tang army's ranks.
Why didn't the Tang army use the battle formation to fight against the Turkic cavalry, it was a situation where a general like Lou Fan was in charge. As the so-called general is the courage of the soldiers, now that Lou Fan is still in the Chinese army behind, it is not surprising that the front army was defeated by the onslaught of the Turkic army.
After all, the Tang army is well-trained. At first, it was indeed defeated, and its own army was constantly divided by the Turkic army. However, the Turkic army was not strong enough to quickly destroy these divided Tang troops, and gradually the divided Tang army surrounded the Turkic cavalry that broke in. Hong Kui was on the battlefield, and when he saw it, he was anxious in his heart, but most of the troops in his hands had already been dispatched. Except for the Chinese guards around him, there are no soldiers to send, and this team is protecting General Hong Kui.
Suddenly, the north gate of Jiuyuan opened again, and a group of Biao troops rushed out. Hong Kui turned his head to look, and it was the prince of Baimei who led 5,000 cavalry to kill. At the front were only about 200 samurai left in front of the palace, and when they saw them all coming down the mountain like fierce tigers, they rushed to the enemy formation with a roar.
The situation on the front line took a sharp turn for the worse, and Lou Fan's front army was almost unstoppable, and it was about to become a rout. If the front army was defeated, it would inevitably disperse the middle army and the rear army behind, and the battle would end in the defeat of the Tang army.
Lou Fan thought for a moment and shouted: "Soldiers, the time for a decisive battle has come! Come with me to capture the Turkic vassal king and avenge my iron hoop loyal soul!" After that, he handed over the command flag and arrow to the Chinese officer, picked up the spear of the victory hook on the horse, and rushed forward with a pat on the horse. The Chinese army behind had already held back their strength, and when they heard Lou Fan's words just now, they were even more vicious, and anger rose from their hearts. As soon as he saw that the main general rushed out, this was repaid, and the team rushed out like a tide. With the addition of the Chinese army, the war situation immediately improved.
The generals of the rear army of the Tang Army saw that the Chinese army had attacked on all fronts. Immediately, the flag was waved, the team was divided into two teams, and the Turkic army surrounded it on both sides, and the Turks had also begun to penetrate the two wings, and as soon as they saw the enemy coming from the opposite side, they immediately met it and fought in a group.
Hong Kui, who was standing in the Chinese army, saw it really and knew that the Tang army was going to surround it. At this time, he realized that he had been tricked. Urgently summoned Samur to stabilize his position, ordered You Metro to rush forward to protect the White Eyebrow King, and he led the Chinese army to slowly retreat towards Jiuyuan City.
As soon as he arrived at the place where he was a stone's throw away from the city, suddenly the city gate opened, and he saw a team of Tang troops killed, and the first general was Yang Yi. It turned out that Yang Yi took advantage of the chaos to pretend to be a Turkic army that came to reinforce him, entered Jiuyuan City from the west gate, and quickly occupied the city. According to the plan, the exit from the north gate cut off the retreat of the Turkic army!
Hong Kui was shocked, and urgently ordered the Chinese army to block Yang Yijun, and rode his horse to fight the White Eyebrow King.
