Chapter 629: The Battle of Hexi's Belonging (4) (2nd Update)

"Damn! These Tang people are simply disgusting! ”

When the Uighur army arrived at the grain and grass camp, they saw the devastated camp, and their faces were ugly, whether it was Yaoluo Ge Renmei, Hassan, or the Uighur leaders of Shazhou.

The camp was now filled with black smoke, and many Uighur soldiers were fighting the fire, and it was certain that their food and grass had been destroyed.

Although they only had a total of 70,000 troops, they had about 100,000 horses.

With so many war horses, the daily consumption of grain and grass is an astronomical amount, and the nearby grassland alone cannot meet the consumption of 100,000 war horses.

While the soldiers below were extinguishing the fire, Hassan saw that many of the cattle and sheep had also fallen.

"What's going on with these cows and sheep?"

"I don't know." One soldier shook his head.

"Go and call someone, come and see these cattle and sheep." Hassan thought of something and commanded anxiously.

"Hassan's special service? What are you worried about? Yao Luo Ge Renmei asked.

Originally, seeing that these cattle and sheep were fine, Yao Luo Ge Renmei was still a little lucky, after all, there were so many cattle and sheep, and it was impossible for the Tang army to kill them all in one night.

Even if you kill a part, you can use it to eat.

But Hassan's reaction made his heart 'squeak'.

"Great Khan, I hope that the minister's worries are unnecessary." Hassan wasn't sure.

Soon, several herdsmen were called over, and their faces changed dramatically when they looked at the upside-down cattle and sheep on the ground. After careful inspection, he hurriedly hid away.

Several people whispered and discussed for a while, and finally, under the order of Yao Luo Ge Renmei, several herdsmen walked tremblingly in front of the nobles and saluted Yao Luo Ge Renmei.

"Qiyu Khan, these cattle and sheep seem to be sick."

"Sick? How can it be? Wasn't it okay before? Yao Luo Ge Renmei's face changed greatly.

"Hurry up and check the water source!" Hassan hurriedly shouted.

After a while, the people who checked came back one after another, which also confirmed Hassan's suspicions.

The water sources within a radius of more than ten miles have been polluted, and although they were found in time, many cattle and sheep were affected.

The Uighur nobles did not expect that in addition to burning their grain and grass, the Tang people also polluted their water sources. It was made too low.

"Why are these Tang people so shameless? The means are too inferior. Ma Heimu said angrily.

"Great Khan, the top priority now is to deal with these sick cattle and sheep, otherwise it will affect all the cattle and sheep and our war horses." Hassan looked a little anxious.

"Send someone to bury these sick cattle and sheep immediately!" Yao Luo Ge Renmei gritted her teeth.

Over the course of half a day, 40,000 cattle and sheep were buried alive with sick or precursor signs, accounting for one-third of the cattle and sheep in the Uighur grain and grass camps.

The loss of grain and grass has also been counted, and the loss of grain and grass is eighty, and the rest can only last for eight or nine days. Recommended ReadingTV//

The helpless Yao Luo Ge Renmei could only order people to bring grain and grass from the royal court, but what he didn't know was that the 5,000 cavalry led by Zhong Wei had already killed the Uighur royal court.

"Kill! Regardless of men, women and children, not one will be left! ”

At this time, looking at the Uighur tribe in the distance, Zhong Wei waved his lance, pointed at the Uighur tribe, and coldly gave an order.

The 5,000 cavalry who received the order immediately went out and slaughtered the Uighur tribe.

It wasn't long before 5,000 cavalry entered the tribe and slaughtered the Uighur herdsmen. For a time, the entire tribe was in flames, blood flowed like a river, and the raging fire reflected half of the sky.

In October of the seventh year of Qianning, the 5,000 Tang Army, under the leadership of Zhong Wei, the general of the Right Shence Army, once again entered the grass beach of the Damaying. In just one month, more than 10,000 enemies were killed, and no one could stop them in their passes, and all the grain and grass that the Uighur royal court had brought to the front line were destroyed.

When the news reached the ears of Yao Luo Ge Renmei at the front, the Uighur army was shaken.

At this time, the Tang army sent more scouts to attack the Uighur scouts, and within two days, more than 3,000 Uighur cavalry were booby-trapped by the Tang cavalry during patrols.

Food and grass were scarce, grain routes were cut off, and the morale of the more than 60,000 Uighur troops at the front began to be unstable.

"Great Khan, there are only two ways to do it now, either fight to the death or retreat!" Hassan hesitated for a moment and said.

"Can you still withdraw now?" Yao Luo Ge Renmei's expression was gloomy.

He was sure that once the army retreated, the Tang cavalry would definitely take the opportunity to chase it over, and the army would definitely suffer heavy losses at that time.

This time is not like the previous battle with the Guiyi Army, nor is it like the first battle of the Tang Army to sneak attack Damaying Caotan.

The former, although there were losses, was victorious; The latter only lost a lot of cattle, sheep and horses.

But this time is different, if the battle is defeated, even the Tang army may directly kill the royal court, and whether the Uighurs of Ganzhou will still exist at that time is all one thing.

"Pass the order, assemble the army, and fight to the death with the Tang army tomorrow!"

Since the retreat is bound to fail, it is better to fight to the death.

More than 60,000 against more than 40,000.

Who's the hand of the deer is not necessarily!

。。。。。。

The Uighur army was soon spotted by Tang scouts and reported to Liu Kui.

Upon learning of the scout's report, Liu Kui knew that the Uighurs were in for a desperate fight.

Thinking of this, Liu Kui couldn't help but snort coldly: The Uighurs are about to fight a decisive battle, why shouldn't he?

The next day, more than 60,000 Uighur cavalry and 40,000 Tang infantry cavalry faced each other on the flat ground outside the Tang army camp, and both sides knew that this was the final battle, and success or failure depended on it.

Compared with the scattered formation of the Uighur cavalry, the formation of the Tang army was relatively tight.

10,000 infantry were in the center, and 30,000 cavalry were on the periphery of the infantry phalanx. ζ‰‹ζœΊη«― δΈ€η§’θ¨˜δ½γ€Žβ†’m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m』 provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.

Although in this kind of battlefield, cavalry is the best way to deal with cavalry, Liu Kui does not have so many cavalry in his hands.

Moreover, the infantry phalanx of the Tang army was not weak, and it may even play a greater role than 10,000 cavalry.

"Kill!"

After waiting for a long time, the Uighurs finally couldn't bear it anymore, and after Yaoluo Ge Renmei's order, Ma Heimu and the Shazhou Uighur leader led a total of 40,000 cavalry from his headquarters and other tribes directly towards the Tang army.

In addition to the infantry phalanx, Liu Kui sent 18,000 cavalry led by Wan Baichuan and Li Sijing to fight out from the flanks.

Liu Kui left behind 12,000 cavalry to guard against the Uighurs.

Because the Uighurs still had more than 20,000 cavalry that did not participate in the battle, it was the elite cavalry of the Ganzhou Uighurs, and one of them was very special.

This cavalry numbered about 3,000 people, but both horses and men were wrapped in thick armor, and this was the 3,000 heavy cavalry of the Uighurs of Ganzhou.

Similarly, Liu Kui's 2,000 heavy cavalry did not go out, just to guard against this Uighur heavy cavalry.

And on the battlefield, the battle has begun!
