The reason why the Khorasan cavalry was able to conquer Tocharian and sweep the nine surnames of Zhaowu was ostensibly because of the speed of the horses and the sharpness of the sword, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the most feared thing about the Khorasan cavalry is its unrelenting fanaticism. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter how many enemies they faced, the Khorasan cavalry had the courage to fight with their swords, and would never give up even if they fought to a single man and a horse. Before the Battle of Talas, Douwuma had never heard of the Khorasan cavalry retreating against the enemy.

Thinking back to the battle of Talas, although the Khorasan cavalry was blocked by the Mo swords and hard crossbows of the Anxi army, they repeatedly rushed and killed like a tidal wave, and they were not discouraged. When reinforcements arrived in the North Garden, the Khorasan cavalry, which had been fighting for nearly a day, was still able to launch an indomitable charge against the flames. If it weren't for the rebellion of the Qarlu Army, which led to a drastic change in the situation, the casualties of the Tang army would have been even more tragic. Looking at the river, the only one who can compete with the Tang Dynasty is big food. As for why the Khorasan cavalry was so fanatical and belligerent, Dou Wuma had not yet found the answer.

After figuring out the strength of the Tang Army and the Great Food Army, Dou Wumo obtained the consent of his father and began to change the military system among the soldiers and horses under his account and implement the laws of the Tang Army. At the same time, in order to temper the soldiers, Dou Zhongjie also agreed that Ashina Yang would send a large number of young people from the country of Bahanna to join the Hezhong Army. Together with the fierce Qarluqs, they formed the main force of the Hezhong Army, and the backbone of the Hezhong Army was the Long March athletes from the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.

Dou Wuma believed that when the soldiers of Bahanna, who served in the Hezhong Army, returned home, the combat power of the Bahana army would be proud of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Therefore, Dou Wumo admires Ashina Yang, who is good at military training, from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, Jieshuai, you don't want to be crowned the king and you don't want to worship the prime minister, but you are still looking forward to returning to Chang'an by virtue of military merits, don't forget it." Yu Chaoen was a little anxious.

He drilled camps everywhere and finally seized the opportunity to serve as the supervisor of the army in the river, and traveled thousands of miles to Tuozhi City to endure hardships, isn't he looking forward to returning to Beijing by relying on military merits? The saint is old, and the day of Colliers' power and blessing is coming to an end. Once the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the province of the inner palace will be a new situation, and Yu Chaoen has already hooked up with Li Jingzhong, the chamberlain of the East Palace, before leaving Beijing, and is still waiting to get ahead in the future. If Ashina Yang has no intention of becoming famous, wouldn't his toss be in vain?

"Yujian Army, the commander of the festival has been working hard for three years, and he has trained the army in the river to be a combatable soldier. Today's invitation to meet with the Turkey Cavalry Department is not for the sake of chatting about Fengyue. As soon as Li Dingbang, who had not spoken for a long time, opened his mouth, he pulled everyone's hearts back to the present.

"That's great!" Yu Chaoen grinned, and after laughing a few times, he suddenly doubted: "The festival marshal asked Kudulu to meet, could it be that he wanted to force him to surrender?" ”

In response to Yu Chaoen's question, there was the sound of thunderous hooves and the shaking of the earth.

"It's coming!" Gao Shetun, whose eyes were sharp, got up and looked: "Hey, Kudulu's formation is really not small!" ”

On the grassland on the north bank of the small river, the first-line cavalry jumped out and roared, like a frenzied tide surging non-stop, and the monstrous momentum seemed to knock all the enemies in the way of the advance into powder. Thousands of turkish cavalry cavalry wearing iron armor rode their horses and galloped to a distance of more than 100 zhang from the river, and when they stopped their horses, they quickly formed two dignified and solemn phalanxes.

A passage more than ten zhang wide was left between the phalanxes, and more than a dozen four-** carriages galloped out, unloading a large amount of wood, leather felt, carpets, silks, tables and chairs. Hundreds of turquoise warriors followed closely behind the carriage, and quickly erected a large banner on the north bank of the river, and a dazzling golden wolf on the banner showed its teeth and claws in the wind, as if it was marching towards the river army on the south bank

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) to show off force. Under the banner, the Turgish began to set up their tents in an orderly manner. Judging from the frame, this tent was obviously huge, no less than the large tooth tent of Molarodo in Shattered Leaf City.

"Golden Wolf Banner!" Mou Ra Sihan raised his eyebrows: "When the golden wolf banner of the Tuqi Shi Department shrouded the river, we Qarluq people had to submit to it. ”

"The armor of the Tucai Shi Department is the capture of the Great Eating Cavalry, and the mounts are mostly Great Eating Horses, but the marching formation has a bit of Tang style." Dou Wumo saw a little bit of doorway from the weapons and arrays of the Turgish cavalry.

"Oh my God, how did Kudulu bring so many people? The Turgish are so powerful! The Tuqi Shi cavalry did not hide the murderous aura of the Xiao Han, which frightened Yu Chaoen in fear.

"The military appearance is neat and the armor is distinct, but there is something impressive." Although Li Dingbang was a little surprised by the rapid progress of the Raider Division, he was confident that he could lead a thousand Mo sword soldiers to break it in one go.

"Jieshuai, in the past three years, the Tucai Shi Department has been disturbing the great food in the west and plundering Dijon in the north, and it has the wealth of a coherent east-west trade road, and its wings are full." Gao Shetun calmly examined the strength of the Tuqi Shi people, and his face was worried: "I thought that after the broken leaf city was broken, the Tuqi Shi people would collapse, but unexpectedly, the sky will not be destroyed, and now there is a tendency to rise again." ”

"Senior Vice Envoy, are you worried about a certain tiger breeding?" Ashina Yang asked with a smile.

"Don't dare!" Gao Shetun shook his head and denied: "Kudulu took advantage of the chaos to occupy Talas City, wantonly gathered the clansmen, and his strength increased rapidly. When the marshal took office, the army in the river was created in a hurry, and it was indeed unable to recruit it, so it had to be based on Huairou fetters. Fortunately, Kudulu also has self-knowledge, although he has supported his troops and is self-reliant, he has never gone south to erode the extension of branches or go east to break leaves. ”

"A certain Ben has no intention of conquering the Turks." Ashina Yang said: "Wouldn't it be wonderful to have such majestic soldiers and horses under your command!" ”

"The Khan of Removal died because of our army, how could Kudulu easily give up his previous suspicions?" Gao Shetun felt that Ashinayang's plan was a little too optimistic.

"During the battle of Broken Leaves, if you want to surrender, with the character of a saint, you will definitely be treated well in the capital, and Kudulu and the lord of Zhenzhu will also reunite in Chang'an. has no choice but to remove a generation of heroes, arrogant, and would rather kill himself than surrender. This is his own fault, not the crime of the Tang Dynasty soldiers. Kudulu was used by the great cannibals, and the hatred in his heart was unsettled. If he invited him to fight with Khorasan, he would not refuse. "Ashina is in his chest.

"Conquering Khorasan?" Gao Shetun heard about it for the first time and was quite shocked.

"It's not a matter of going on an expedition, but it's better to practice for a thousand days in the camp than for a day of battlefield fighting, and the Hundred Battles Heroes have always relied on the swords and guns to fight and the fear of blood. In the past, the Great Eclipse cavalry crossed the Wuhu River many times, and now our army also has to cross the Wuhu Water to see the terroir of Khorasan and beat the thief-hearted Abu who is immortal? Muslim. Ashina Yang was arrogant: "Senior Deputy Envoy, can Kang Jujun dare to take on this responsibility?" ”

"Why don't you dare?" Although there are many speculations and doubts about Ashina Yang, when it comes to fighting for the country, Gao Shetun has never been afraid.

"If the Tuqi Shi army marches from the north and the Kangju army harasses from the south, the black-clothed food will be uncomfortable. There is no need to use many soldiers, the Kangju army can dispatch one or two thousand light cavalry, which is as fast as the wind, invades and plunders like fire, and there is no need to be greedy for merit. Ashina Yang already had a plan in his heart.

"Jie Shuai, the white-clothed food and the black-clothed food can't hold each other, why should our army get involved?" Gao Shetun is a little cut

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) can't understand Ashinayang's intentions.

"Deputy Envoy Gao, according to the information from our army's scouts, after Princess Anicee returned to China, although the white-clothed Dashi vigorously reorganized the army, recruited soldiers, and even borrowed from the Beiting Army to organize and train a chain of ironclad heavy cavalry specially used to break through the formation, the Umayyad family has lost the support of the people, there are constant riots in various places, and the battle with the black-clothed Dashi has also lost more than victory, but it is barely trying to maintain. If our army does not secretly help, I am afraid that in a few years, the black-clothed food will be destroyed and devastated and capture Damascus. "He is proficient in the language of the Great Food, and he is responsible for spying on the Great Food's civil war. In the past three years, the Hezhong army has sent many scouts to mix in the caravan along the route opened by Du Huan, paying close attention to the civil war of Dashi.

"Thank you for your advice!" Gao Shetun looked uncertain, because he found that Mou Ra Sihan already knew Ashinayang's military strategy.

"The senior deputy envoy is serious." How could Mou Ra Sihan not know Gao Shetun's intentions: "In fact, the plan of harassment is a little superficial, and I just informed the festival marshal some time ago. ”

"I see." Gao Shetun's face was slightly pale.

The horns whined, and the horses' hooves clanged.

While the high-ranking officials in the river were chatting, the large tent of the Tuqi Shi Department had been erected, and the tent was covered with gorgeous golden silk, showing the deep financial resources of Kudulu. In the big tent, there are high-style tables and chairs carved by Su Yeju and the brilliant and dazzling glass wine utensils of Ruyiju, and the gold-rimmed goblets emit a brilliant light in the sunlight, silently announcing to everyone that the Tuqi Shi Department is clear about the direction of the wind in Chang'an City.

Dozens of charming Turgish girls came out with trays of graceful hands, piled with melons, fruits, and wine; Dozens of young men sprinkled the lambs slaughtered on the spot with spices and roasted them on the bonfire. The aroma that permeated the air immediately transformed the empty grassland into a banquet for entertaining VIPs.

Surrounded by the guards attached to the detachment, the imposing turf rode out from behind the formation. Captain Suluk was closely guarding him.

"Ashina Jieshuai, please!" Kudulu, who had a calm face, drove his horse to the river and invited in a loud voice.

Li Dingbang glanced at Ashinayang, saw him nodding in acquiescence, and then ordered in a loud voice: "Light ride in the river, forward!" ”

At the sound of an order, the cavalry in the three thousand rivers urged the horses to move in unison and slowly pressed forward. The pace of the light horses in the river was not fast, and at first glance it seemed to be a little less imposing than the spectacular scene of the Turgish cavalry roaring, but the coercion generated by the neat and powerful rhythm made the attached guards secretly frightened.

Not long after, the light cavalry in the forefront of the river arrived at the south bank of the small river, but Li Dingbang did not give the order to stop. The cavalry of the army in the river did not change their faces, and immediately rode their horses into the river. In the summer, the water of the small river swelled, and the deepest part could not reach the belly of the horse, and the stirrups were wet, but it could not stop the resolute light cavalry.

When the light horsemen in the front of the river came ashore, their trouser legs and horses were dripping wet, but none of them reined in their horses, but continued to press forward at the same pace, like a group of unconscious stone statues.

Several of the attached guards were shocked by the momentum of the other party, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the scimitar on their waists, but they were stopped by Suluk waving his hand. Kudulu, who was at the forefront, remained motionless, unconcerned about the impact of the light cavalry in the river. Seeing that the secret service was so calm, the guards straightened their chests and looked directly at the approaching cavalry in the river.

Both cavalry marched silently at each other.
