The Hui army rushed at high intensity for two consecutive days, rushing out for more than 400 miles in one go, until a spy discovered that the enemy's main force was found 30 miles ahead, and the 30,000 Hui army slowed down.

The commander of the Uighur army, Horton Modagan was about 50 years old, and had led troops to fight in Tocharian with the Tibetan army for a long time.

This time, the Khan took a fancy to his rich combat experience, and ordered him to lead the 30,000-strong army of the Yaoluo Ge Department to meet the invading Tang army.

Horton Modagan was still a little worried in his heart, mainly the army he commanded was the Yao Luo Ge Department, known as the army of the royal family, and many of the commanders in it were surnamed Yao Luo Ge, that is, the children of the Hui royal family.

The four kings of the Yaoluo Ge tribe, in addition to the Jinhe King Ute who led 5,000 troops to protect the Khan, the other three kings, including Wanmei, the king of Xiongshuo, Changjin, the king of Ningshuo, and Basil, the king of Jingmo, all followed him on the expedition.

It is difficult to say whether they can obey their own commands, especially Basil, who thinks he is the Khan's uncle, never takes himself seriously, does not obey orders at all, and always does things as he wants, which makes Horton Modagan very big.

For example, he asked the army to rest for the night last night, but the three captains refused to agree, and still had to march overnight, and now the men and horses are tired, but the enemy army is thirty miles away, which really makes Horton Modagan deeply annoyed, and it is useless to criticize them at this time, so they have to make amends.

"The army stops moving forward and rests in place!"

Horton Modagan had to hurry up and let everyone rest for a while before the Tang army arrived.

At this time, one of his subordinates said to Horton Moda dryly: "Things are a little strange, two days ago the Khan received a report that the enemy army was four hundred and fifty miles away, and now it is still this distance, and they have not moved in two days?" ”

This is a bit strange, but it can also be explained, the Tang army is waiting for logistical supplies, and there will be basically no herdsmen for three hundred miles north from here.

At this time, Basil, the king of indifference, stepped forward and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiangguo, why did the army stop? ”

Horton Modagan restrained his anger and explained: "The army has been running for two days and two nights, and the men and horses are tired, if you take a rest, how can you fight the Tang army?" ”

"Xiangguo doesn't understand war at all, the army fights, the key is to fight with one blow, carry the power of bravery, and sweep away the other party, or have a good rest last night, but now rest, not only can not recover physical strength, but will be more tired, and the soldiers have to regain their strength, which is a self-destructive strategy."

Horton Modagan was furious and angrily rebuked Basil: "Last night I wanted the soldiers to rest, but you refused, you had to march to the death, and now you have to blame me?" ”

The other two Wanfu commanders, Xiongshuo Wang Wanmei and Ningshuo Wang Changjin, hurriedly stepped forward to persuade that there should be no internal chaos at this time.

At that moment, a low horn sound was heard in the distance, 'Woo-'

The main force of 20,000 Tang troops led by Guo Song appeared ten miles away, and everyone didn't care about quarreling, and ordered the army to mount and prepare for battle.

Guo Song used the strategy of weak soldiers to hide his strength, and finally attracted 30,000 cavalry from the headquarters of Hui Hui, he still challenged with 20,000 troops, and Yao Jin's 20,000 troops detoured behind the enemy, Li Bing's 20,000 troops detoured to the east of the enemy, and the west was the muddy valley water.

This is the reason why Guo Song wanted to arrange the battlefield at the edge of the Hungu water, and the surging river saved them 20,000 troops.

Now the biggest advantage of Guo Song's army is that he knows the details of the enemy's army, but the enemy army does not know their strength.

The team stopped three miles away and quickly discharged the army formation, with 10,000 crossbow troops in front and 10,000 cavalry behind, and the trap was in the crossbow army, in which 3,000 heavy infantry were hidden.

The crossbow army trained by Guo Song was never a simple bow and crossbow army, they also served as other branches of the military, either the sword and shield army, or the spear infantry, while today's bow and crossbow army is the spear infantry, and their actual role is to protect the three thousand heavily armored Mo sword army.

The three thousand heavily armored Mo sword soldiers were hidden in the crossbow army formation at this time, they were half-squatting on the ground, their long knives were placed on the ground, and the dense crossbow soldiers in front of them covered their figures.

At this time, Horton Modagan also saw the other party's arrangement clearly, he was a little hesitant, decades of experience told him that the layout of the Tang army was very unreasonable, the crossbowmen accounted for half of the total strength, half of them were twenty-eight, the crossbowmen accounted for thirty percent was a bit too much, but the other party had 10,000 crossbowmen, there must be fraud in this, but he couldn't see where the other party's trap was?

An army of 30,000 was eager to try, but the three captains were impatient, eager to destroy each other with a powerful impact.

"Woo-[nameless]" Basil, the King of Silence, took the lead in blowing the horn of attack.

Basil brandished his spear and shouted, "Kill! ”

"Kill—"

10,000 troops were the first to launch, and thousands of troops and horses rushed towards the Tang army three miles away.

Horton Modagan was taken aback, it was Basil again, and this man didn't even take himself seriously.

The other two captains were a little sensible, and they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Xiangguo, the matter has come to this point, there is only an impact!" ”

Horton Modagan gritted his teeth and said, "The two armies will each leave 5,000 troops, and the other armies will attack!" ”

The sound of the horn continued to sound, and another 10,000 troops were killed, and 20,000 troops rushed towards the Tang army like a mountain and a sea, and the dust was flying all over the sky, like a landslide and the ground cracked, which made people change color shockingly.

The crossbowmen of the Tang army were motionless, but they were as dignified as a mountain, and the crossbow arrows were at an angle of 45 degrees, and the experience of a hundred battles and the effect of cruel training were fully displayed at this time, and they did not panic at all, and waited patiently for the enemy to come forward.

300 steps...... Two hundred steps...... One hundred and fifty paces, the war drums beat, 'Boom! Boom! Boom! The drums beat quickly and powerfully.

The crossbow soldier held the crossbow with one hand, and with the other hand, he ignited the fire fold and ignited the fire rope of the paper fire mine at the front of the arrow shaft, which is an inch-long tube, a bit like a cannon battle, but more powerful than a cannon battle.

They didn't have to wait any longer for orders, they shot out one after another, and seven thousand crossbow bolts shot out into the sky in a dense manner, snorting white smoke and overwhelmingly shooting at the galloping enemy cavalry.

The Hui cavalry raised their shields to meet the crossbow arrows, they were the army of the royal family, and of course the best equipment, leather armor, spears, war knives, shields, not only complete varieties, but also high quality.

But what they encountered was not ordinary crossbow arrows, but fire and thunder crossbows specially equipped against cavalry, and the crossbow arrows exploded densely in the team, and the greatest impact was not soldiers, but war horses.

War horses have been frightened, began to neigh, out of control, this is the first taboo of cavalry attack, 20,000 cavalry gallop, the team is very dense, the strong cavalry inertia can not be stopped at all, the team must be highly unified, which requires the cavalry to have a strong ability to control horses, can not be stagnant or disorderly horses, that will cause extremely serious consequences.

However, the fire and thunder arrows of the Tang army played a role in disrupting the war horses, and thousands of war horses were frightened, or accelerated and galloped, or stopped, or scurried in the ranks.

I saw that the war horses fell one by one, and the cavalry behind rushed forward without stopping, trampling on the war horses and cavalry on the ground, and continued to advance.

A round of fire and thunder arrows caused the enemy to lose 3,000 soldiers, but at this time, the enemy army had killed seventy paces away, the Tang army's war drums sounded again, and the crossbow soldiers retreated one after another, shouldered the crossbow arrows, picked up the spears, and turned them into spearmen.

Three thousand heavily armored infantry suddenly appeared at the front of the team with Mo knives in their hands, they were half-squatting on the ground, the hilt of the knife touched the ground, standing still, and a flash of sword light in front of them formed a terrifying sword forest.

The cavalry who rushed to the front screamed in fear, and they desperately swung their spears, trying to make a way out, but the long Mo knife did not move, and the cavalry was like a big wave crashing against the reef, and the wave burst open.

The Mo knife pierced through one corpse after another, the flesh and blood flew sideways, the bloody nose, the corpses instantly piled up into a long wall, and the cavalry behind jumped on the pile of corpses and killed the heavy infantry below.

The hoplites fought fiercely and retreated, widening the distance, and they were like a wall of swords, blocking the onslaught of the cavalry.

Immediately after that, the horn in the Tang army sounded again, 'Woo-'

At the sound of the horn, 10,000 cavalry struck out from the left and right, like two sharp sabers into the enemy's flanks.
