"Boom!"

Tens of thousands of cavalry on both sides met each other outside Datun City!

The murderous two armies were like Mars hitting the earth, and they were full of lightning for a while.

The result was actually very clear, and a picture appeared that everyone expected.

Although Zhongyun's army rushed forward with great fear, several of their swords stabbed into the chest as they slashed through the armor of one of the Uighur cavalrymen...

Even the warriors of Zhongyunbu are working hard to protect their homeland, but the difference in strength is too great, like an egg hitting a stone.

In the end, all that remained was the shattered shells and egg whites, and the stone still standing.

The Uighur cavalry was still charging into battle, but the cavalry of the Zhongyun tribe kept dropping their horses, and the entire formation was torn apart by the rush.

How will this battle be fought?

can't fight, in the face of absolute strength, the patchwork army of Zhongyun is not a unified enemy at all.

The cavalry of Zhongyun's department became fewer and fewer, and the remaining cavalry didn't know who shouted, "Retreat." ”

Then the men fled in a swarm to both sides.

Flee back to the city?

At this time, if you flee back to the city, you can't enter the city at all, and there is still a trace of life on the wings.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the nobles and generals of the Zhongyun tribe on the tower of the city were at a loss when they saw the army outside the city being slaughtered by the Uighurs.

If it weren't for the fact that the Uighurs might have to strip them of everything, they would have wanted to surrender Kaejo.

"Chief, why haven't the Tang people come yet? With our troops, we can't hold Datun City at all. ”

"Hold on for a few days, it will take five or six days for Shazhou to get here, and it will take at least ten days from the time we report the news to the arrival of the Tang army.

As long as we hold out for ten days, ten days, the Tang army promised to support us. The leader of the Zhongyun tribe was convinced.

"Ten days? So many Uighur armies outside the city? Can we hold on? If we had known that we would have to defend for ten days, we should not have faced it outside the city. "Someone started pointing the dock at the leader of the Zhongyun Clan.

"What do you mean? Are you accusing me? The leader of the Zhongyun clan said coldly.

"I'm just telling the truth! Tens of thousands of Erlang were defeated outside the city, and there were only a few thousand soldiers left, what should we do to hold out for ten days? ”

"Look for death!"

As he spoke, in the surprised expressions of everyone, the leader of the Zhongyun clan pulled out the knife of his own soldier next to him, and the blade slashed through the man's throat, blood pouring out.

"This person is in trouble with the army, and he should be punished!" The leader of the Zhongyun clan held a bloody knife and looked around viciously.

The people around didn't react for a while, and after meeting the leader's gaze, they all subconsciously took a step back.

The problem of the army's heart has been stabilized for the time being, but the leader of the Zhongyun tribe is still worried in his heart.

To be honest, he also regretted it, because he lost tens of thousands of cavalry, which caused the defensive strength of Datun City to weaken.

At this point, I can only hope that the Tang army can arrive quickly, but it will take ten days!

Ten days!

I don't know if I can hold on for that long.

With the defeat of tens of thousands of Zhongyun cavalry outside the city, in addition to the pursuit of the remnants of Zhongyun's cavalry, the Uighur army that was born besieged Datun City.

Seeing that this is not a short city wall, and considering that the army has just finished the battle, I want to rest and rebuild before working.

But Zhiluo thought that he should take Datun City in one go. 52 Literature

Haman couldn't resist Zhiluo, so he could only choose to attack the city immediately.

Zhiluo looked excited, as if the city was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and shouted, "Kill it!" Kill! The women and the riches inside are yours. ”

The Uighur army, which had just won the victory, was in a state of euphoria, and after the temptation of Zhiluo, coupled with the fact that it had won so easily, they thought that the strength of Zhongyunbu was no more than that, so they rushed forward with their waving swords.

Time was tight, and the Uighur army had only a dozen ladders to prepare, but the exuberant army didn't care about it.

The closer they got to the city gates, the Uighur soldiers could see the frightened expressions of the Zhongyun soldiers on the city walls.

In the eyes of the Uighurs, the Zhongyun tribe would soon be disarmed and surrendered, and then they would be able to plunder as much as they wanted...

It's a pity that they thought too well.

If there is no hope, Zhongyun may directly open the city and surrender, but there is hope, why should it disarm and surrender.

。。。。。。

"Governor, according to the information provided by the person who reported from the Zhongyun Ministry, the Uighurs of Western Prefecture may have been in Datun for two days, can they hold out until we arrive?"

To the east of Puchanghai, next to a large oasis, tens of thousands of cavalry were resting, and this was the 30,000 cavalry that had set out from Shazhou.

Contrary to Zhongyunbu's expectations, in fact, when Zhongyunbu sent people to ask for help, the 30,000 cavalry assembled in Shazhou had already set off.

Datang had its own source of intelligence, and when the 40,000 Uighur troops of Xizhou left Yizhou, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate got the news and guessed the destination of these tens of thousands of cavalry.

Therefore, without waiting for the news of Zhongyun's request for help, the 30,000 Tang troops assembled in Shazhou set off, and on the way, they also met the messenger of Zhongyun's department asking for help.

"It's still a few days away from Zhongyunbu?"

Zhong Wei took the telescope and looked at it, but he couldn't see anything, except for the Gobi, which was a desert, or one or two oases.

"Back to the Governor, with the speed of our march, if we travel day and night, we will not arrive until noon tomorrow; If the normal marching speed is carried out before, I am afraid that it will be the day after tomorrow. ”

"The impact of the day and night on the war horse is too great, let's follow the normal march, and let the Zhongyun Department hold on for two more days." Zhong Wei said lightly.

"Governor, but what if Datun City is lost?"

"Datun City is gone, isn't there still a stone town?" Zhong Wei smiled.

Their aim was to inflict heavy damage on the Uighur army in Western Prefecture, not to actually relieve the Zhongyun tribe, which was merely an excuse for them to send troops.

After this battle, even if the Zhongyun Department doesn't want to return to the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't matter, as for who is the leader of the Zhongyun Tribe, it has nothing to do with them.

"The Uighur army of 40,000 attacked Zhongyunbu, and if you want to come to Yizhou, the defense is weak, in fact, you should attack Yizhou at this time."

Wan Baichuan on the side shook his head and said.

What he said was to save Zhao from Wei Wei, but it was Liu Kui who saved Zhongyun, and he couldn't change this decision.

"We don't know the situation in Illinois, and it's not appropriate to attack rashly. On the other hand, if these 40,000 Uighur cavalry can be eliminated, the strength of the Western Uighurs can be weakened, and wouldn't it be easier to take Yizhou later? Zhong Wei replied.

"Perhaps, Pontus just feels that he has lost a great opportunity." Wan Baichuan smiled and didn't say anything more.

Wan Baichuan naturally didn't know what Liu Kui thought, Wan Baichuan just wanted to take Yizhou, but Liu Kui took a fancy to the entire Xizhou Uighurs.

If these 40,000 Uighur cavalry were ignored and they attacked Yizhou with all their might, they would definitely be able to take it, but then the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate would inevitably fall into a bitter battle with the Uighurs of Western China.

However, if these 40,000 can be wiped out, even if it is a heavy blow, it will be very painful for the Xizhou Uighurs.

Moreover, after destroying these 40,000 Uighur cavalry, they can still save Zhongyunbu.

After the Zhongyun Department was an ally in the Western Regions, the Western Uighurs could not fully deal with the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which was undoubtedly a better choice for the entire Tang Dynasty's westward expansion strategy.

Wan Baichuan was just thinking about how to take Yizhou, while Liu Kui was thinking about taking the Uighurs of Xizhou.
