Chapter 582: There is a sense of foreboding

Xue Yantuo's general, Xue Yanshou, escaped by luck.

But now, the 90,000 army he led is on the verge of collapse.

A fire completely messed up their formation.

On the Tang side, 40,000 cavalry, divided into two routes, launched an attack on them together.

On their side, the formation is still changing, and they are not ready for the game at all.

Two rounds of crossbow bolts were fired, which caused them heavy losses.

Next, the Tang cavalry quickly launched a charge.

Xue Yanshou, who had already fled to a relatively safe position, had time to stop and observe the battlefield.

And the results of the observation made Xue Yanshou couldn't help but be surprised.

Originally, in their impression, the Tang cavalry, which was very weak in combat effectiveness, now actually broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.

Moreover, their weapons are definitely more than one step ahead of theirs.

The battle between the two sides turned out to be one-sided.

The Tang cavalry is like chopping melons and vegetables.

And they're really like melons......

How so?

The Tang cavalry, when did it become so strong?

The defeat on the battlefield was not unrelated to the fact that their formation had been scattered just now.

But Xue Yanshou knew very well in his heart, even if there was no such fire.

Their team may not have been defeated so badly, but they are definitely not the opponent of the Tang cavalry.

It was only at this time that Xue Yanshou suddenly had a terrible realization in his heart.

That is, could it be that in the previous time, the Tang cavalry had been pretending to be weak?

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

This Tang Dynasty general is really cunning!

And, absolutely ruthless.

In order to deceive them, he did not hesitate to let the soldiers die, pretending to be real.

As everyone knows, in fact, the people who fought with them before were just Turkic soldiers wearing Tang military uniforms.

They didn't even wear the armor of the Tang Dynasty.

Because once you put on the armor, you will be recognized by Xue Yantuo.

Because he was not a Tang soldier, Li Su did not bear it at all.

Sure enough, I succeeded in deceiving them.

Now, the fire in the middle is still spreading.

The good news is that the speed at which the fire spreads has slowed down.

The fire cost them the lives of thousands of soldiers at once.

There were more wounded, so to speak, heavy losses.

However, now they have escaped the fire and are closing their formation.

Now, they still have more than 80,000 cavalry.

And the other party only has 40,000, which is more than twice as much as them.

Even if their combat effectiveness is stronger, do you think that they will be eaten?

Who gave them the confidence?

Xue Yanshou sneered a few times and decided to eat all the 40,000 Tang soldiers.

Next, Xue Yanshou quickly commanded the whole army, mobilized the cavalry, and went around in a circle to surround the Tang cavalry.

Suddenly, Xue Yantuo's rear army began to divide into two cavalry teams, preparing to encircle the Tang cavalry from both wings.

Once surrounded by them, they will definitely be able to calmly eat these 40,000 cavalry.

And if these 40,000 cavalry retreat now, they can also use their superiority in strength to throw at them.

When the time comes, it will definitely cost them a lot.

In short, no matter what the situation is, they Xue Yantuo will not suffer.

Not only can they recover the losses of this attack, but they can also take advantage of it.

And Xue Yanshou, in order to ensure that the Tang cavalry could be eliminated to the greatest extent, the cavalry on both wings went around in a big circle.

This is to completely block their back roads as much as possible.

At the same time, Xue Yanshou was still observing the surroundings.

Xue Yanshou wanted the ambush army of the local Tang Dynasty.

Because he always felt that the Tang Dynasty was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, insidious and cunning.

But now it's stupid enough to use 40,000 cavalry to attack their 90,000 army?

Could it be that the head is in water?

If the other party still has an ambush, Xue Yanshou must find out as soon as possible, and then take corresponding countermeasures.

However, there is not the slightest trace of it.

It was surrounded by a plain, and if there was an ambush, how could he not see it?

And if it's farther away, then by the time they rush over, I'm afraid the fight here will be over!

Perhaps, the generals of the Tang Dynasty are really in the water in their heads, right?

And the next moment, something that made Xue Yanshou infinitely frightened and shocked suddenly happened.

Just on the path that Xue Yantuo's soldiers had to pass, countless Tang infantry suddenly appeared.

At this time, not only Xue Yanshou, but even Xue Yantuo's cavalry were all classicized.

I'm in a big groove, where the hell did these people come from?

Did you grow up on the steppe?

But soon, they found out why.

It was all because of the clothes they were wearing.

They were all wearing green striped clothes, which were too similar to the color of the grass.

As long as they lie on the ground and don't move, it's really hard for others to spot them.

It turned out that Datang's ambush had always been under their noses.

It's ridiculous that they don't even notice it.

The infantry on both sides had at least fifteen thousand men on each side.

Together, there are 30,000 people, and if you add their cavalry, the number is 70,000, and the disparity between them is not so obvious.

And they ambushed in advance and took the lead, and the situation didn't seem good.

But at this time, Xue Yanshou calmed down.

Datang has a total of 250,000 troops, and more than 100,000 people are involved head-on.

On the other side of Nameless Mountain, there should still be a large army, and at the same time, they must also have an army left behind.

These 70,000 people are almost the limit of what they can send.

Although now that Datang has seized the opportunity, they Xue Yantuo have suffered heavy losses, but all the enemies have appeared, and Xue Yanshou has calmed down.

With only 30,000 infantry, they want to stop our cavalry, are you serious?

Xue Yanshou sneered, continued to give orders, and ordered the cavalry to attack with all their might.

In the open steppe, the infantry is a living target for the cavalry!

Daring to stop the cavalry is purely an act of seeking death.

Soon, the cavalry rushed to the range of Datang.

The Tang infantry raised the crossbow in their hands to shoot without surprise.

The arrows in the sky, like raindrops, fell into Xue Yantuo's camp.

On Xue Yantuo's side, there was a sudden burst of people turning on their backs.

On Datang's side, the strong crossbow is a multi-stage shot.

The crossbow arrows barely stopped, causing great damage to Xue Yantuo's cavalry.

At this time, Xue Yanshou was not moved in the slightest.

As a general, he had to be cold-blooded and calm.

Although they suffered heavy losses for the time being, as long as their cavalry rushed in front of the infantry, it would be a nightmare for the infantry.

At this time, the cavalry on Xue Yantuo's side also began to counterattack.

They charged forward quickly as they mounted and fired.

The bows and arrows of both sides were fired, and each suffered damage.

Of course, on the side of the Tang infantry, the damage is much smaller.

They had bows and arrows, and some shield-bearers.

And the cavalry of Xue Yantuo's side, in this short space, they only have one round of shooting time.

In Datang, only nine people were killed, and only a few dozen people were injured.

On the other hand, on the Datang side, their shooting is uninterrupted, and it can no longer be summarized by the number of rounds.

And their crossbow arrows, arrows are made of stainless steel, and the crossbow arrows are full of penetrating power.

Therefore, the soldiers on Xue Yantuo's side can be said to have suffered heavy casualties.

The cavalry on both sides suffered as many as two or three thousand casualties.

However, at the cost of heavy casualties, they finally succeeded in rushing in front of the Tang infantry.

Now, it's time for them to harvest.

Closer, closer!

The distance between the two sides is as short as less than ten meters.

Xue Yanshou's cavalry all had a cruel smile on their faces.

They clenched their scimitars tightly, trying to vent their anger with a slaughter.

But the next moment, they suddenly felt that the war horse under their crotch was falling.

Their bodies, by a huge inertia, were thrown fiercely.

Then, for the vast majority of Xue Yantuo soldiers, there was no then.

Because, they have already fainted.

In front of them, a trench appeared one zhang wide and one zhang deep.

This trench caused the Xue Yantuo cavalry who rushed to the front to fall one after another.

The cavalry that followed them, although they saw the trench in front.

But with such a short distance and such a fast speed, they couldn't brake the car at all.

He could only tighten the reins while helplessly watching the war horse fall into the trench.

That's called an eye-open!

As the cavalry in front went forward and fell into the pit one after another, the cavalry behind finally stopped the car in time.

But what's worse is that the crossbow arrows of the Tang Dynasty infantry have never stopped shooting from beginning to end.

On the side of Xue Yantuo's cavalry, with the appearance of the trench, it suddenly showed a situation of sudden braking.

There were more constant collisions, and the scene was a mess.

The Xue Yantuo cavalry in front completely became a live target for the Tang infantry.

Now stopped, the possibility of fleeing the scene has been almost completely lost.

Only the Xue Yantuo cavalry behind was able to turn around in time and avoid being shot.

But just such a trench caused the casualties of the cavalry on Xue Yantuo's two flanks to reach as many as seven or eight thousand.

If you include the situation of the cavalry on both sides, their current losses have exceeded 10,000 people.

The casualties of the Tang soldiers were less than one-tenth of theirs.

Now, Xue Yanshou is once again faced with a difficult choice.

By now, Xue Yanshou finally fully realized the cunning and treacherous aspects of the Tang Dynasty.

What a calculation they have to die!

Until now, Xue Yanshou didn't know if these infantry had any other followers.

Is this just the kind of trench?

Or are there trenches all around them?

So what choice should they make now?

Did you choose to fill in the trenches and wipe out these infantry first?

Or ignore these infantry and directly charge the opposing cavalry?

If these infantry were to be destroyed, their crossbow arrows would have ranged longer than theirs, and they would have suffered heavy casualties.

And if these infantry are left alone, they can shoot them in the back.

Faced with this situation, Xue Yanshou suddenly had a headache.

However, Xue Yanshou is also a decisive person.

Soon made a decision, he decided to ignore these infantry and chose to directly besiege the Tang cavalry.

Now, Xue Yanshou felt more and more that the Tang Dynasty was sinister and cunning.

He didn't believe that there was only such a trench in front of the Tang infantry to guard against.

Maybe there are some disgusting tricks that haven't been used.

In that case, simply ignore them and directly besiege the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

In this case, these infantry can't just watch from where they are, right?

They will come out and go to war.

And at this time, their cavalry can kill a horse gun.

At this time, all the arrangements you made in advance are useless, right?

In this case, I don't believe that your infantry will be the opponent of cavalry?

The next moment, Xue Yanshou directly issued an order, ordering the cavalry on both wings to give up attacking the Tang infantry, but directly besiege their cavalry.

Sure enough, after their cavalry detoured, Datang's infantry quickly rushed out of place and rushed towards the battlefield.

Xue Yanshou sneered at the corner of his mouth as he watched the Tang infantry walk out of the trap they had arranged.

Watch them gradually approach the battlefield.

It was at this moment that Xue Yanshou suddenly gave another order.

Xue Yanshou's cavalry, who originally killed the Tang cavalry, suddenly turned around again and killed a horse gun.

The Datang infantry seemed to have been killed unexpectedly, and even the formation was a little flustered.

However, they quickly calmed down and formed a formation, preparing to fight to the death with Xue Yantuo's cavalry.

Closer, closer!

Xue Yantuo's cavalry had already charged within the range of the Tang infantry.

The Datang infantry, which was also a decisive puller, shot crossbow arrows.

Xue Yantuo's cavalry was once again killed and wounded.

These Xue Yantuo cavalrymen all had a murderous aura on their faces.

This group of Datang infantry made them completely angry.

Teasing them again and again.

This time, they have to pay a heavy price!

When we rush over, it will be your death!

At this moment, on the Datang side, Qin Qiong picked up the remote control in his hand and pressed the second and third buttons.

The next moment, a raging fire suddenly broke out between the two Xue Yantuo cavalrymen.

The sudden fire suddenly made Xue Yantuo's cavalry team turn on their backs for a while.

The Datang infantry also accelerated the frequency of shooting at this time.

Xue Yantuo's cavalry suddenly fell like straw in pieces.

This attack ended in failure.

What's even more terrifying is that now Xue Yantuo's cavalry has completely lost confidence.

At this moment, the Tang army is almost equated with the devil.

If it weren't for the devil, how could they have let this grassy grassland catch fire for no apparent reason?

Datang has this kind of means, how can they fight?

Under their feet, there is a possibility of fire at any time, and they will be killed in the fire at any time!

Xue Yantuo soldiers, their spirits are discharged!

At this time, Xue Yanshou also discovered this, and couldn't help but gasp.

In fact, at this time, Xue Yanshou was not frightened in his heart?

He also wanted to know how Datang did it.

If you don't figure this out, let alone a soldier, even he doesn't know how to fight.

You can set fires anytime and anywhere, how can you play this?

Now, their soldiers are already scared, and their momentum has been discharged.

This battle can no longer be fought.

If they continue to fight, they will definitely be defeated, and may even be wiped out!

Thinking of this, Xue Yanshou no longer hesitated, he had already begun to prepare to retreat.

But at this moment, Xue Yanshou was surprised to find that behind them, tens of thousands of Tang infantry actually appeared again!

Datang actually arranged a full 100,000 army here!

Luckily they only had 40,000 cavalry!

If it's 100,000 cavalry, I'm afraid it's hard for them to leave here today!

Xue Yanshou no longer hesitated, and quickly ordered Xue Yantuo's soldiers to break through to the west.

Xue Yantuo's soldiers quickly broke through to the west.

The Tang infantry followed them with a burst of fierce fire.

Of course, they can't shoot a few rounds.

The cavalry ran away from the distance, and they simply could not catch up.

And the 40,000 cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were biting them tightly and chasing them to the death.

After breaking through, Xue Yanshou was saddened to find that the 90,000 army he brought out was only about 70,000 at this time.

In this battle, they lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Datang is really too grandson, he keeps digging pits for them, and they are so bitter in the pits!

Xue Yanshou led the army and ran wildly all the way.

And the 40,000 cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were in hot pursuit.

And the 60,000 infantry of the Tang Dynasty in the back have been left far behind.

After discovering this, Xue Yanshou couldn't help but show a fierce light.

It's just 40,000 cavalry, and we have more than 70,000 soldiers and horses now!

Xue Yanshou was already ready to turn around and charge, first kill the 40,000 cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and then evacuate.

These Tang cavalry, like a swarm of flies, staring at them is really annoying.

And at this moment, a Tang cavalry suddenly came out again in the oblique stab.

One of the leading generals, a burly black-faced man, holding a Xuanhua axe, was laughing loudly at this time.

"Huha, it's better to come early than to be lucky! Little ones, kill Lao Tzu! These are all military feats! Hands are fast, hands are slow! ”

"Kill!"

"Military merit, I'm here!"

Needless to ask, this team of 20,000 Tang cavalry is the cavalry team led by Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin was still afraid that when they rushed over, the war would be over!

And now it seems that it has come at the right time!

Just in time for Xue Yantuo's army to break and flee, this is simply a military feat sent to the door!

Seeing the Tang cavalry that suddenly came out, Xue Yanshou was startled at first.

But suddenly, I felt that there was no movement in the direction of the Nameless Mountain.

That is, the war on the side of Nameless Mountain is over.

The 10,000 cavalry led by Xue Yanhong are afraid that they are already more auspicious.

In the direction of Nameless Mountain, he didn't see any fires coming out.

This can only show that their wishful thinking has failed completely.

Nameless Mountain is simply a trap, they have all been pitted by Datang!

And they only have 70,000 cavalry, and now there are 60,000 cavalry in the Tang Dynasty.

Both sides are very close in numbers.

But in terms of momentum, there is a world of difference.

Moreover, no one knows that Datang has not yet sent reinforcements.

And on their side, there must be none.

In this case, where does Xue Yanshou dare to fight?

He hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran towards the spur.

But an army of 70,000 stretches for miles, where is it so easy to turn around?

The front army can escape, but what about the middle and rear armies?

Cheng Yanjin held an axe in both hands, led the army, and quickly killed Xue Yantuo's Chinese army.

A charge will scatter Xue Yantuo's army.

And later, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong were overjoyed when they saw this.

Naturally, they would not let go of such an opportunity, and immediately led the army and launched a fierce attack on Xue Yantuo.

Almost half of Xue Yantuo's cavalry was left behind.

Xue Yanshou only took about 30,000 cavalry, and the remaining 30,000 cavalry were left behind.

The more than 30,000 cavalry that were left behind had already been routed almost by the time the army in front of them left.

Originally, in the face of Datang's tricks, they were already afraid.

At this time, they were abandoned by their generals, where did they still have the heart to fight with the Tang Army?

Some of Xue Yantuo's soldiers scattered and fled.

But more of them are surrounded by the Tang Dynasty.

Next, the Xue Yantuo soldiers, whose morale had been extremely low, were frantically slaughtered by the Tang army.

Then, there were Xue Yantuo soldiers who threw away their weapons and chose to surrender.

In the end, more than 20,000 Xue Yantuo soldiers were captured by the Tang army.

……

Xue Yanshou led more than 30,000 Xue Yantuo soldiers to rush all the way, and along the way, he finally did not encounter the ambush of the Tang Dynasty.

Their group is really anxious like a lost dog, busy like a fish that has slipped through the net.

All the way up, lest you encounter the interception of Datang.

After all, the Tang army is elusive, and they have already learned it.

Even if it was on the grassland, they didn't feel safe.

Because the clothing of the Tang army is the same color as the grassland, wherever they lie down, as long as they don't move, they can't see it at all.

Fortunately, along the way, they did not encounter the ambush army of the Tang Dynasty.

Finally, Xue Yanshou led the army to flee to their main force.

At this time, as the president of these Xue Yantuo countries, Xue Yannian, the military advisor of Xue Yantuo countries, was still unclear about the battle situation.

He could only hear the faint sound of fighting coming from the other side of the battlefield, and he didn't know anything about the real battle.

And he, at present, needs to involve most of the main forces of the Tang Army, and he does not dare to act rashly.

But before that, he saw wolf smoke coming from the direction of Nameless Mountain.

And it's still green wolf smoke, which means that their plan is going very smoothly without the slightest accident.

Therefore, Xue Yannian was not worried about the situation on the battlefield.

But as time went by, the sound of fighting on the battlefield became more and more intense, and Xue Yannian faintly felt uneasy.

Through these voices, Xue Yannian always felt like the screams of their Xue Yantuo soldiers.

Because, everyone's accent is different!

Those screams, how can they sound like their Xue Yantuo's accent?

The uneasiness in Xue Yannian's heart became stronger and stronger, and he had already discharged several waves of scouts.

However, due to the distance, the scouts have not yet returned.

At this moment, Xue Yannian found that there was a team of people and horses in the distance, and wolves were rushing towards him.

Looking at the outfit, it seems to be their Xue Yantuo's soldiers.

But Xue Yannian didn't dare to slack off, and while sending a scout to investigate, he quickly prepared for the battle.

After a while, the scout reported that in front, it turned out to be the army led by General Xue Yanshou.

How is this possible?

He handed over Xue Yanshou to an army of 90,000, and now?

He took more than 30,000 people with him, and ran back in embarrassment?

What about the rest?

Could it be......

Xue Yannian's heart was cold, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
