Chapter 910: The front is destroyed, and the Chinese army is invited

Seeing all the Tang troops and stopping the attack in an instant, Dai Gon and the remaining more than 30,000 Dzungar soldiers all breathed a long sigh of relief, glad that they had escaped death.

After all, nothing is more important than survival.

After handing over all the weapons, a group of Dzungar soldiers let the Tang army tie them up in a row like frogs.

The Dzungar captives who were tied up in a string of ropes no longer had the slightest bit of arrogance as before, and everyone bowed their heads and looked very depressed.

At this time, some Tang soldiers brought the dejected Dai Gong to Cao Bianjiao.

"Our General Cao asked you, what's your name?" The interpreter shouted loudly to the degon through the dense rain curtain.

"My name is Daigon, and I am Dzungar Otok Zaisang." Egon hung his head and replied in frustration.

"General Cao asked you, what is the situation of the Dzungar reinforcements, you have to answer honestly, otherwise, watch your head." The translator snapped.

Dai Gon's heart was shocked, so he explained to Cao Bianjiao one by one the situation of the quasi-army entering the aid on this road, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

After listening to the words of the translator, Cao Bianjiao smiled faintly: "As the emperor expected, the three soldiers and horses of the quasi-army are all coming here." Now the front has been destroyed, among which the soldiers and horses are the next target of our army, they have jumped into the palm of the Buddha, and it is difficult to escape from the palm of our army. ”

Cao Bianjiao finished talking to himself, replied to the translator and explained a few words, then turned around and left.

The interpreter agreed with him, so he went to Dai Gon and ordered several Tang Army auxiliaries next to him to take him back to the camp to take care of him.

Seeing that he was taken down by the Tang Army like this, Dai Gon fell to the ground in his heart.

He thought that Cao Bianjiao, the general of the Tang Army, would definitely ask him about it, but he didn't expect that he would even punish himself severely, but he didn't expect that Cao Bianjiao finally just ordered himself to be imprisoned with the more than 30,000 prisoners, and it was considered to be disposed of.

Cao Bianjiao reorganized the army, came out of the valley, and immediately went to the camp outside the valley against the wind and sand, and told Li Xiao about the battle situation in the valley.

Originally, according to the original plan, after the battle in the valley began, the Tang army hidden outside the valley also dispatched the whole army, but due to the influence of the sudden wind, sand, dust and fog, Li Xiao estimated that the enemy's situation had changed, so the Tang army outside the valley had to suspend the operation, wait for the battle in the valley to end, and then make the next move according to the situation.

Now, Cao Bianjiao entered the camp and immediately explained to Li Xiao all the information about the battle in the valley and the information confessed by Dai Gon.

After listening to the explanation, Li Xiao was very satisfied with the battle situation, and he was also full of confidence in the battle that would take place in the future to attack the Chinese army.

Now the front of the enemy army is completely destroyed, but because of the wind and sand blocking the road, the Chinese army of the Sangha Department, which is several hours away from the valley behind, is most likely unaware. It is more likely that they will stay in place because of the dust, fog, wind and sand, and wait for the wind and sand to calm down before leading the army forward.

And the enemy army was in a state of stagnation, but it was a good opportunity for the Tang army to attack.

Li Xiao immediately gave an order, taking advantage of the fact that the wind and sand were not too big now, to march all the way north and give a surprise blow to the middle army of the Sangha Department who were stranded on the road.

Li Xiao gave an order, except for the soldiers and horses of Cao Bianjiao's troops who stayed in place to rest and recuperate, and also took care of the 30,000 quasi-army prisoners of the Daigon Department, the whole army went north to invite the Chinese soldiers and horses of the Sangge Department as soon as possible.

The wind and sand are blowing, the iron flow is rolling, and in the dim heaven and earth, the soldiers of the Tang Army are like tigers and horses, and they are like tigers and horses, all the way neatly and quickly to the middle army of the monk's department, and they are attacking with all their might.

When the Tang army's soldiers and horses were rapidly advancing northward, Seng Ge and his more than 100,000 Chinese soldiers and horses were at a loss in the wind and sand.

In the makeshift windbreak tent, the monk paced back and forth in the tent with an anxious expression.

I really didn't expect that when I arrived in the Wushi area, which was quite close to Kashgar, I would encounter a sandstorm, although the sandstorm was not large, but it also caused a lot of obstacles to the march. Therefore, in the absence of a guide, the monk had to order the whole army to temporarily stop and camp on the spot, so as to wait for the wind and sand to pass, and then start to march south.

The monk knew that the Chinese army was stationed here now, but the front army was close to the canyon when the sand and dust rose, and it is estimated that it has passed now, but it has escaped this increasingly large sandstorm, but it is quite lucky.

It's a pity that I can't move now, so I can only wait until the wind and sand will subside, and then lead my troops to rush forward to meet the front.

It's just that how long does it take to wait like this?

Nobody knows.

Soon, nearly two hours passed.

At this time, it was already after noon, and the wind and sand that was sweeping the sky and the earth finally began to be a little smaller, and the nearby scenery was already faintly recognizable.

The monk immediately gave the order for the whole army to move forward quickly, trying to cross the canyon before dark, and to join the front.

According to his military order, the officers and men of the whole army immediately began to dismantle the tents and temporary camps, and then the whole army set off together and marched to the south.

The work of dismantling the tent was much more troublesome than the monk had anticipated.

Because the foundations of the tents have been buried by sand and dust, it is indeed not a quick thing to dig them all out quickly.

Just as the quasi-army began to set up camp and prepare to continue southward, the horizon, which was still windy and sandy in the distance, began to move like magic.

All the quasi-soldiers, including the monks, were surprised to see that a thin black line seemed to emerge from the horizon in the distance, and as his subordinate soldiers got closer and closer, he clearly saw that the black line was getting thicker and thicker, and gradually transformed into countless neat soldiers and horses.

These soldiers and horses, densely packed and extremely imposing, were opposite to the direction they were traveling, and they also began to run quickly in their own direction, all the way.

"Ahh It's the Tang Army! It is the banner of the Don Army! ”

One of the guards next to the monk suddenly screamed loudly.

Seeing these outstanding formations of the vast Tang Army, the heart of the main general sank in an instant, and for a while, he had an inexplicable panic.

This, what's going on?

Where did these Tang troops come from?

They went all the way north, then, didn't they have already encountered their own front soldiers?

At this moment, the monk could feel that his heart began to beat violently, and the pain of a knife was permeating his heart.

He knew that his front troops, including Etoke Zaisangdaigon, were most likely overthrown by the Tang army.

Alas, the soldiers and horses of more than 50,000 people in the front were all lost, which was a great blow.

What's even more terrifying is that when he was still dismantling his tent and preparing to pack, Tang Jun suddenly came out of nowhere, and this time, he wanted to run, but he couldn't run.

Seng Ge quickly visualized the strength of the Tang army opposite, and he made a slight estimate of the front strength on the opposite side, and found that they were only more than 30,000 people.

He immediately thought that according to the establishment of the Tang Army, this should be the size of a battalion of the Tang Army, and this kind of strength is not too much.

The monk saw it right, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army on the opposite side were only the vanguard troops in front, and they were basically Liu Guoneng's soldiers and horses of the Sixth Town. And Li Xiao's headquarters soldiers and horses, due to the weather, could not catch up for a while, so there is still some distance from here.

So, in this battle, do you want to fight it or not?

It's just that, thinking of this, the corners of the monk's mouth flashed with a wry smile again.

Now that the two armies are about to stagger and dock, can they still retreat safely by themselves? The current situation has changed so suddenly, can I have any other choice but to face the battle head-on?

The monk was secretly ashamed of his cowardly thought.

It is really unreasonable, there are more than 100,000 elite troops, the Tang army is only more than 30,000 people, and the strength is only one-third of itself.

Of course, many of the troops are still packing up and dismantling their tents, but at least half of the soldiers and horses that have been prepared can be used to fight the enemy with all their might.

Moreover, he had clearly seen in the clairvoyant mirror that these Tang troops had come this time, probably in a hurry, and they did not carry heavy weapons such as artillery or trebuchets that were most feared by the countries of the Western Regions, and they were just like themselves, only infantry and cavalry.

If you can send an envoy in time to rush to the rear, so that the reinforcements from the rear can come quickly, then in this next battle, once you engage the enemy, you will not only not be frustrated, but will have the upper hand without difficulty.

The monk took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and his teeth clenched unconsciously.

He knew how important and crucial the value and significance of this battle was to the future and destiny of the Yarkand Khanate and even the entire Dzungar Khanate.

If he can seize this rare opportunity and take these subordinates to wipe out all the Tang army here, then in the future, together with Abdullah, the king of the Yarkand Khanate, he will attack and destroy Li Xiao's Tang army inside and outside the city of Kashgar, then such a merit, even if the front is wiped out, it will be a great merit. I am afraid that after I return to the country, my father Batur will personally go out of the city and personally greet him on the outskirts of the capital.

Such glory and opportunity, even if there are risks, can not fall into the hands of others. Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't catch it?

Thinking of this, the monk's throat surged, and even his breathing began to become heavy, and his eyes began to be full of greed and murder.

"The whole army obeys the order!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Immediately assemble the prepared troops and horses and line up to meet the enemy. At the same time, go to the back as soon as possible to move reinforcements, let the rear soldiers and horses come to help as soon as possible, and be sure to let our army be here and destroy the Tang army on the opposite side in one fell swoop! ”

"Order!"

Several messengers immediately galloped to the back, at this time the wind and sand gradually decreased, and the weather began to become hot, in this flat Aksai field area, more than 50,000 quasi-army soldiers lined up in a huge rectangular battle formation several miles away, with more than 1,000 cavalry on each side protecting the two wings, towards the opposite Tang army, roaring and rolling over.

About two miles away from the quasi-army soldiers and horses, the Tang army also stopped and began to line up on the spot.

Liu Guoneng, the deputy mayor of the sixth town of the Tang Army, personally commanded this upcoming encounter with a solemn face at this time.

Of course, he understood how important and crucial this battle would be for the entire Western Regions conquest situation and for the soldiers and horses of the entire Tang Army's Sixth Town.

Unlike the monks, who are like fanatical gamblers, Liu Guoneng's heart is full of confidence in victory.

Although the soldiers and horses of our army have not yet arrived due to the large army, the strength is temporarily inferior to the opposite side, but there are enough flint and reckless guns and individual soldiers to throw earth-shaking thunder to help, and this battle will be won!

The formation formed by the Tang army was a long snake formation with a width almost equal to that of the quasi-army, with more than 6,000 shield soldiers lined up, and there were two rows of sharp and sharp shields, like a temporary steel wall.

Behind the shield soldiers, there are dense spearmen, and on the steel wall built by the shield soldiers, above each shield, there is a 4-meter stainless steel spear with a cold light, like a poisonous dragon ready to attack, waiting for the prey that is getting closer and closer on the opposite side.

The Tang Army's spearmen had three layers, which could ensure that there were enough troops to fill the losses, and the entire formation was very strict and full of awe-inspiring murderous aura.

Behind the spearmen, there are Tang Army auxiliaries holding earth-shattering thunder, these unarmored auxiliaries are actually the killer existence of the Tang Army. Each of them had more than a dozen one-handed sky-shaking thunderbolts hanging from their waists, and they seemed to have no offensive power, but they were actually the Tang Army's biggest secret weapon.

Behind the entire Tang Army's gun and shield battle array, there were two cavalry divisions and two heavy armored marching troops, which were used to protect the security of the flanks.

Seeing that his own army was already in full formation, the monk did not hesitate to give the order for the whole army to attack.

A large-scale head-to-head confrontation has officially begun.

If you look down from the sky, you can clearly see that the Tang army and the quasi-army are like two long thick black lines, among which the Tang army's one is unmoving. And the black line of the quasi-army was like a wriggling worm, rapidly approaching the Tang army.

Seeing the quasi-army rushing towards the overwhelming force, Liu Guoneng was scorching, staring closely at the dynamics of the quasi-army, and when the whole army of the quasi-army was only about 300 steps away from his own formation, he raised the command flag in his hand high.

So, as if by magic, above each of the shields of the iron, beside each of the spearmen who were ready to attack, there appeared a musketeer with a flintlock gun.

They quickly prepared, and the black hole spearmen in everyone's hands immediately aimed at the quasi-soldiers who were roaring and rushing on the opposite side.

The order flag in Liu Guoneng's hand waved down violently.

"Ready, fire!"

With the angry shout of the commander of the Tang army, 5,000 guns fired in unison, and a total of more than 4,500 shots were fired.

"Bang bang bang! ……”

Rows of bright red embers flew together, like a long bright red ribbon, as beautiful as hellfire, with a unique beauty like a death ritual. A large cloud of choking white gunpowder smoke poured up, and more than 2,500 tiny three-coin mini lead bullets, like a swarm of death bees flying away in unison, let out a slight and cheerful chirp, and swooped down on the quasi-army opposite.

The roaring swarm of death bees, chirping and smirking, quickly burrowed into the bodies of the quasi-soldiers who were charging intensively on the opposite side.
