Chapter 863: Victory in the First Battle (Third Watch)
Before making contact, Hua Hong led a cavalry of cavalry out of the army and flanked the Uighurs.
The Uighur cavalry, advancing in unison, was suddenly in disarray...
The leader of Gesa, who commanded the charge of the coalition army, watched the 30,000 Uighur cavalry being broken up by the Tang army, and he was so angry that he yelled there.
Originally, he thought that he could crush the battle of the Tang army with just one charge, but he fell into such a disadvantageous situation.
When many Uighur soldiers looked at the Tang army with their swords, they found that they could not cut through the Tang army's armor, and the Tang army's sharp horse lance and horizontal knife easily cut through their leather armor.
The leader of Gesa was so angry that he vomited blood and shouted, "Don't mess around, kill me!" Kill me! Kill all these Tang people! ”
The leader of Gesa is also a fierce wolf on the grassland, with a horse's belly and a big knife in his hand, he rushed into the formation of the Tang army.
The fat body was able to dodge a horizontal knife that was about to cut his neck, and with both hands, he stabbed the Tang cavalryman in the chest with a big knife, and lifted the corpse of the Tang cavalry high and threw it out.
Seeing that the leader was so brave, the Uighur cavalry beside him immediately boosted their morale, roared one after another, and rushed frantically towards the Tang cavalry, trying to divide and besiege the Tang army with their numerical superiority.
Wan Baichuan stabbed left and right in the crowd, and when he saw the leader of Geza flying up and down with a large knife and harvesting his soldiers, he immediately shouted loudly, and with a single lance, he picked off a Uighur cavalry from his horse, and his legs slammed into the belly of the horse, and rushed towards the leader of Gesa.
The leader of Gesa was enjoying the killing, when he heard a loud shout not far away, and a man rushed towards him on horseback, slashing from side to side with his lance, and from time to time the Uighur cavalry screamed and fell off his horse, and was trampled into flesh by the countless hooves of the horses.
The leader of Gesa raised his big sword and roared, "It's good, the Tang people are coming!" ”
At the same time as he roared, the leader of Gesa rode his horse and slaughtered him!
The leader of Gesa did not show weakness, clamped the horse's belly, rode his horse and rushed towards Wanbaichuan, holding a big knife, and the war horse spewed white gas from his mouth and nose, and killed Wanbaichuan directly!
In the midst of all the armies, take the head of the enemy general!
The Uighur soldiers on the battlefield got out of the way and did not stop the duel between the two, and the Tang army did not stop it, except when the situation was not right.
If you can kill the Uighur leader, then it is naturally the best, even if your own side is defeated, you must ensure the safety of the general, and then even if you shoot the enemy leader, even if you shoot the arrow.
Tang Jun didn't have time to care about anything!
Wan Baichuan has a long lance in his hand, and he is not afraid at all, although he is not very good at horse lance.
As the distance between the two sides grew closer, he stabbed sharply with a long lance in both hands, and at the moment of hand-to-hand combat, a large knife lay in front of him.
The lance and knife collided, sending out sparks, Wan Baichuan's hand felt a slight resistance, and the leader of Gesa felt a huge force, and the whole person involuntarily leaned back.
Seeing that the stab was missed, Wan Baichuan reacted quickly, and when the war horses were staggered, he directly returned to the horse pistol, and the tip of the lance pierced into the war horse of the leader of Gesa.
The war horse let out a terrible neighing in pain, and the whole body of the leader of Gesa was already a little deviant, but the war horse was in pain, and directly threw him off the war horse, and before he could react, the huge body of the war horse fell to the side, and it was very clever to press the leader of Gesa under him.
"Chief!"
Only then did the Uighur soldiers react and wanted to save their leader, but what they were waiting for was the dense bow and arrow of the Tang army.
The Uighurs were somewhat agitated by the fact that their own forces were several times larger than the enemy's, but their own leader was wounded by the enemy's falling horse, and they were in a hurry.
However, the Tang army came up and stopped these crazy Uighur cavalry.
Wan Baichuan came to the leader of Gesa with a lance, and the latter had just broken free from his horse when he saw the lance in front of him.
Looking at the tip of the lance of the dripping blood, he was a little scared!
"You ordered my Tang soldiers to be dragged to death just now, right?" Wan Baichuan said coldly.
"I..."
Before the leader of Gesa could finish speaking, he felt a pain in his chest, and as soon as he looked down, he saw a long lance sinking into his chest.
Then the lance was violently drawn, and blood spurted out of the chest of the leader of Gesa, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, and then he fell to the ground with a bang.
Immediately after that, Wan Baichuan dismounted and used the opponent's broadsword to the head of the leader of Gesa, and cut it down fiercely, cutting off the head of the leader of Gesa to the ground, and then turned over on the horse, picked up the head with a long lance, and shouted loudly, "Your leader is dead, and you still don't surrender?" ”
"Kill!"
The morale of the Zuo Shence army was greatly boosted, and they shouted excitedly, and the offensive became more and more fierce.
Seeing the head of the leader of Gesa, the surrounding soldiers of the Gesa tribe were a little overwhelmed, some shouted for revenge, and some stopped what they were doing.
At this time, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted and a greater offensive was launched.
The Gesar tribe, which had lost its leader, soon began to disperse, and the other tribes that saw that the situation was not right lost the confidence to continue fighting.
Yanqi's cavalry was the first to retreat, and then the men of Xiyabe's tribe also retreated.
The Uighur coalition army, which was shouting for slaughter one second, began to collapse the next.
A large number of Uighur soldiers were beheaded under their horses and then trampled to pulp by iron hooves.
Wan Baichuan commanded the remaining Zuo Tiance army to chase and kill all the way through, until they occupied Sawada Temple, and then stopped the pursuit.
Along the way, there were corpses of Uighurs everywhere, and Zuo Tiance's army confirmed the Tianwei of the Tang Dynasty with practical actions, and no one could offend them!
Here, Fu Gulin led the main force of 110,000 cavalry to set off from Baozhuang and accurately went to Sawada Temple, when he learned that the vanguard was defeated by the Tang army.
The death of the leader of Gesa in battle undoubtedly made Fu Gulin unable to find anyone to hold him accountable, so he set his sights on several other people.
"30,000 people were defeated like this? Did you meet the main force of the Tang people? Fu Gulin asked with a displeased face.
"It's just that I met the main force of the Tang people, and the leader of Gesa insisted on going his own way, and finally lost!" The leader of Xi Ya Bei lied.
"Really?" Fu Gulin was a little unconvinced that the main force of the Tang Army would be so fast.
The Yanqi special service on the side asked the captain sent to him, "Captain Kangtu, what the hell is going on?" How many Tang troops did you encounter? ”
Kangtu was not a Uighur, but a Sogdian, but because of his ability, he was able to become the commander of the Yanqi.
Commander Kangtu hesitated for a moment and said, "What we encountered was the vanguard of the Tang Army, and the number of people did not exceed 20,000. ”
"No more than twenty thousand? You have 30,000 cavalry, and you were defeated so quickly? Fu Gulin felt incredible, thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "What is the name of the Tang Army you encountered?" ”
"Okay... It seems to be Zuo Tiancejun! ”
"Zuo Tiance Army?"
Fu Gulin was stunned for a moment, and he remembered that in the last battle, it was the sudden slaughter of Zuo Tiance's army that caused his tens of thousands of troops to be defeated by the Tang army.
In the end, Zuo Tiance's army also killed under the city of Xizhou, which shook the whole of Xizhou.
Thinking that it was Zuo Tiance's army, Fu Gulin had a shadow in his heart, and immediately ordered to retreat to Baozhuang and camp in situ.
As a person in power, he has backed down at a critical moment, which is not good news.
