Mueller pressed down on a man beside him who couldn't hold back Hu and motioned for him not to act rashly. So under the hidden gaze of countless people, 20,000 Turkic forwards galloped by.

During the scouting of the Turkic scouts, the Western Regions Army led by Zhang Juntai was stationed under the Gaochang City of Gaochang at this time. The previous Han army should have retreated after cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpses. Out of his disdain for the fighting power of the Han Chinese, the order given by the Khan to the newly formed vanguard army was to find the elite Han army that had annihilated the previous vanguard army, and then wait for an opportunity to destroy it.

To put it bluntly, the task of this newly formed vanguard army is to disrupt the position of Zhang Juntai's army, and after waiting for the Turkic army to come, the internal and external forces will completely defeat Zhang Juntai's Western Regions army and recover the lost territory of Gaochang State.

Because the land under their feet has always belonged to the grassland people, few Han Chinese armies have set foot here. Therefore, the leading Turkic officer did not expect that there would be an ambush of a Han army on this road, so he did not take much precautions. At this time, the army of 20,000 formed a long queue and hurried to the direction of Gaochang City on the road.

Since their Turkic army left the Turkic camp, it has not stopped, but has been galloping all the way east. Even these nomads, who grew up on horseback, feel quite tired after a long day of jolting on the horse. At this time, many warriors on horseback relied on their equestrian skill and exquisiteness, and they all lay down on their horses to rest. Anyway, although their horses were not military horses, they were not scattered under the leadership of the leader's horse.

The Turkic leader also frowned when he saw that his subordinates were a little slack, but he did not say anything to reproach. After all, not everyone is born to be a warrior, and many of them are forced to take up arms, and this once belonged to the hinterland of the Turks, and under the influence of inertial thinking, there was no consideration that there might be an ambush army of the Han here.

It wasn't until the Turkic army had gone far away that the cavalry in front of them suddenly lost their horses and plunged headlong into the deep pit that suddenly appeared in the road, and then they were silent.

The Turkic leader hurriedly reined in his horses, and the horse team behind him also stopped and stood in place because of the slowdown and stop of the horses, gasping for breath. The Turkic leader turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward on foot to see the crater that had suddenly appeared on the road. Standing on the edge of the pit and looking down, the Turkic leader also gasped, only to see that there were countless wooden guns buried in the pit. The upward end was sharpened, and the horses and warriors on the horses who had fallen before had been pierced with countless blood holes, as if the whole person had fallen into the pit and was killed on the spot, and their blood had already stained the entire pit bottom red.

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the sky, and the naturalized army that had been lying in ambush on both sides of the road for a long time received this signal. In Muller's entire plan, there will be three people hiding around this trap on the road. As soon as the Turks triggered or passed through the trap, the three would set fire firecrackers with them. This kind of firecracker is the same as the firecracker used in Li Wenyuan's army, after ignition, the cannon charge at the bottom will push a small firecracker into the air, and then the small firecracker bursts in mid-air, and the sound can be transmitted hundreds of meters away.

"Whatever happens, as soon as the sound of this firecracker rings in the sky, you must immediately attack the Turkic army on the road. We are now in an area under the control of the Turks, and if we do not eliminate the Turkic vanguard in front of us, we will all be completely killed here by the Turks. But on the other hand, if we defeat this Turkic army, the credit will be enough for each of you to receive the right to govern a tribe of nearly 10,000 households. So in other words, if you win this battle, you have the power and women, and if you lose this battle, you can't even save your life. All in all, there have been no deserters in our naturalized army since the day they were formed. ”

At this time, the explosion of the sky was heard, and the naturalized soldiers who had been in ambush on both sides of the road for a long time took off the cover on their bodies. At the same time, they pulled their horses out from under cover, and then they mounted their horses, drew their sabers at their waists, followed their military commanders, and attacked the Turkic army that had stalled on the road.

"Chief, our mid-lane army has been attacked by the Han Chinese. The number of the middle army is small, and now some are at a disadvantage. The Turkic leader, who heard the faint commotion of the army behind him, sent his own scouts to investigate the situation. In the end, he learned that his middle army had been attacked by the Han people who were in ambush.

After hearing what had happened to the vanguard earlier, the Turkic leader was also very worried that his army would be wiped out here. Therefore, after hearing that there was an attack by the Han Chinese, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly commanded the forward troops led by him to turn their horses and rush to the direction of their own Chinese army.

When the Turkic leader rushed to the Chinese army with his army, Müller was also watching the battlefield not far away, even though he had been fighting on horseback for a long time, he was a little speechless by the scene in front of him. The entire rear army had gradually come to their aid, and they were strangled with the naturalized army that ambushed them, and nearly 30,000 people were crowded into this narrow official road to fight each other.

Although the naturalized army is a ragtag army with little training, under the command of Muller, an old fox who knows the combat habits of the steppe people, it has always surrounded the 7,000 Turkic army of the Chinese army, and at the same time has resisted the 3,000 troops of the rear army, so that the encircled Turkic army has never been able to get reception from the outside, and the number of the encircled army is getting smaller and smaller. The morale of this army was also getting lower and lower, and the besieged army at this time had less than 4,000 men. Although the Naturalized Army also paid the price of nearly 5,000 men under their brave counterattack, it was all within the range of Mueller's bearing, because as long as the encircled Turkic army did not receive support from outside troops, their morale would continue to be low, and it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated.

Therefore, even if the naturalized army responsible for intercepting the rear army suffered heavy casualties, Mueller still gritted his teeth and did not let go of the encirclement army to support the naturalized army who resisted the rear army, after all, it was a critical point in this battle at this time.
