"Big Eater! Big Horse Eater! The 8,000 Hui cavalry shouted excitedly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info waiting for the gap of the attack, the bored Hui cavalry except rest, is talking about the big food war horse. The beautiful and vigorous big eating horse is very popular with the Hui warriors who love good horses. For them, a few horses will be more attractive than the gold and silver in Tuozhi City.

"Kill!" Ye Hu waved his scimitar and was about to charge on his horse, only to see Lero shouting loudly: "Your Highness, please give me armor and war horses, and I will also go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

"Gesar Apo, didn't you want to fight before?" Ye Hu said sarcastically.

"The reason for avoiding the war is to preserve the strength of the Khanate, not to target His Highness! At this moment, the situation has changed, as a general, how can he not like to conquer? Lerotan replied.

"Good!" Ye Hu thought for a moment, and ordered loudly: "Guard, put armor on Gesa Apo!" ”

After the Hui tribe defeated the Qi Yade tribe, he has been recuperating. At this time, on the entire battlefield, they are the most physically strong.

When the 8,000 Hui cavalry came out like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, the Sogdian light cavalry, which had been fighting for a day near the southwest corner of the Anxi army camp, was immediately unable to parry and retreated.

"Crossbowmen, concentrate on the enemy outside the West Gate! Xi Yuanqing, prepare to kill from the West Gate! Seeing this, Gao Xianzhi immediately adjusted his deployment.

Abu watching the battle? When Muslim saw the Hui cavalry coming out from the south, he immediately understood everything: "Damn the Schemer, he must have done something!" The Qiyad tribe has long been annihilated by the Hui people! It's just that how did the Beiting Army escape the siege? ”

"Governor, the Anxi army is also going to be killed from the battalion, what should I do?" Seeing that the situation was critical, Mutaia hurriedly reminded.

Abu? Before Muslim could come up with a countermeasure, he saw the flames in the north gradually extinguish, and a pure black armored war horse let out a long neigh, and leaped over the remnants of the fire. On the black horse, Ashina Yang clenched his spear, like a majestic general, and rushed towards the chaotic Khorasan cavalry array.

Behind Ashina Yang, more and more Beiting Xuanjia Iron Cavalry struck out from the smoke, like a rolling boulder, killing into the enemy formation.

Under the continuous onslaught of fire horses and Xuanjia iron cavalry, the array of Khorasan cavalry became more and more chaotic.

The Sogdian light cavalry on both flanks suffered less blows, and they hurried forward, desperately bending their bows and arrows, trying to kill the remnants of the fire horses and shoot the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

The frenzied fire horses fell to the ground one after another, no longer a threat to the rebel array. But the soft riding bow could not pierce the armor of the Beiting heavy cavalry at all. On the contrary, some of the Khorasan cavalry, who were strangled with the Xuanjia iron cavalry, were mistakenly wounded by the bows and arrows of the Sogdian light cavalry.

As soon as the Sogdian light cavalry approached and fired two or three rounds of feathered arrows, the long arrows of the archers of the Northern Court roared towards them. The Beiting Light Cavalry, the Huangjia Cavalry, and the Shatuo Cavalry, which were closely behind the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, also suddenly arrived, scattering arrows from the sky at the Sogdian light cavalry on both wings.

On the north bank of the Xiaohe River, the forces of the two sides were originally equal, and the Beiting Army only had a slight advantage.

However, because the Khorasan cavalry of the Chinese army of the Great Food Rebels was completely killed by the Xuanjia iron cavalry of the Beiting Palace, and the Sogdian light cavalry on both flanks was suppressed by the Tang army's feather arrows, the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable.

On a dirt bag on the north bank of the small river, Abu who immediately whipped up? Muslim sighed: "Fortunately, we are wary of fire attacks, otherwise the losses will be even worse!" ”

He turned his head to look at the five thousand huluo who were crossing the river on the prancing horse

The Shan cavalry and 10,000 Sogdian light cavalry anxiously urged: "Mutaia, send a team of overseers and order the front to fight to the death!" Take my token with you, and let the soldiers and horses who are crossing the river speed up and outflank the Beiting army from the east side! It is necessary to repel the Beiting army before the Anxi army and the Hui cavalry converge! ”

Abu? Muslim looked at the overall situation on the battlefield and soon found that the only opportunity at present was to crush the arrogant Beiting Army as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Anxi army and the Hui cavalry converge, the tens of thousands of troops under their command will be attacked from both sides and will be defeated!

After Mude'a took the command and departed, Abu? Surrounded by his own guards, Mu Silim looked back to the south and saw that outside the west gate of the Anxi army camp, the arrows of the Tang army had swept away the besieging soldiers and horses, and the Anxi heavy cavalry was riding out of the camp. The Uighur cavalry was divided into two groups, with the guards on either side of the heavy cavalry.

"Quick! Be sure to be fast! The 15,000 soldiers and horses who crossed the river must form a charge as soon as possible! Recoil the North Court Cavalry! "Abu? Muslim was anxious.

The wind blows the grass low, and the war horses neigh.

Two or three miles north of the river, Wang Fei grabbed a torch and stood anxiously on the saddle, looking out at the battlefield.

"Father, the Great Food Rebels are trying to outflank our army from the east!" Wang Fei shouted urgently, as if he were a lookout standing on the mast in the Age of Discovery.

"Herald! The Ministry of Corn turned eastward. Assault and disrupt enemy deployments! The rest of the divisions accelerated their assault and routed the enemy in front of them. Wang Zhengjian smiled with satisfaction and ordered in a deep voice. He had expected the change of formation of the Great Food Rebels and was not worried.

"Brother Fei, do you also want to charge into battle?" Ashina Xiaoyun asked mischievously.

"Sister Xiaoyun, why do you say 'also'? It's you who want to wield a knife to kill the enemy like Ashina's deputy protector! Wang Fei jumped off the saddle and asked with a smile. After the Beiting Army left Talas City, Wang Fei suddenly felt that the burden of a thousand catties was lifted from his shoulders and he was much more relaxed.

"Sister, you can also play polo. If you really want to rush into battle, I have to accompany Brother Fei! When we combine our swords, we will be able to cut through the enemy's formation! Ashina Wenxia no longer had the previous atrophy, she stepped forward and gently grabbed Wang Fei's arm, looking at her sister defiantly.

Ashina Xiaoyun was slightly stunned, not understanding why her sister had become an aggressive little wild cat again.

Aidengana, who was standing not far away, frowned, and she felt that Ashina Wenxia didn't seem to have listened to her advice.

"Sister Wenxia, I think that although Sister Xiaoyun can't be a fighter, she can be the commander. When playing polo, Sister Xiaoyun's command is determined, as if she has the style of a general, and she can be described as a good general! . Wang Fei tried to take out his arm while defending Ashina Xiaoyun. Ashina Wenxia immediately increased her strength and hugged her tightly. Wang Fei had no choice but to grimace at Ashina Xiaoyun.

"Brother Fei praised! I'm just leading people to hunt and play polo, but I can't be a general. Ashina Xiaoyun smiled faintly at Wang Fei, and then walked out two steps seemingly casually, chatting with Ayi Tenggena.

Wang Fei sighed, and no longer exerted force on his arm. He thought about it for a while, and was about to say something to Ashina Wenxia, but he heard Ma Lu exclaim: "Duhu, suddenly a cavalry force came out from the east and was rushing in the direction of the Gang Division!" ”

"Where? Let me see! Ma Luan's side shouted happily, like a chirping oriole. Not far

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) at Su Sanniang secretly compared to her a gesture of "Are you shy". Tong Luo Puli curled the corners of her mouth proudly, not caring about Su Sanniang's jokes.

"Send a scout to see who the other party is? Could it be Abu? What other armies does Muslim have in his hands? The sudden change made Wang Zhengjian a little worried. At this point, the Western Expedition has reached the final moment to decide the outcome of the victory. Wang Zheng saw that he had already staked all the troops in his hands, and if the other party secretly hid a new army, the outcome would become unpredictable.

"Molasham! It should be his team of thousands! His target should be the Great Food Rebel who has just crossed the river! Wang Fei was the first to react. Although he was not on a horse, he guessed a possibility based on the previous agreement.

"Xiao Langjun, from a distance, there should be nearly 10,000 cavalry, but there is more than one thousand-person team, it should not be a plot of Sihan." Du Huan cautiously denied Wang Fei's speculation.

"No!" Ma Ling retorted: "Judge Du, that cavalry is fighting with a black wolf banner, it must be a Qarluq!" ”

"Qarluq! Didn't they just run away? Which side is the Black Mountain going to stand on? Du Huanqi said.

"Send the order to Ashina's deputy capital protector, after the Xuanjia iron cavalry chiseled through the enemy's formation, turn around and head east, ready to fight!" Wang Zhengjian prepared for the worst.

The river is murmuring and the stars are swaying. Li Ji, the prince of Huangjiasi, looked at the Great Food rebels in the south and the Qarluq people who suddenly killed in the east, and hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

"Father, if we are caught between the two armies, our department will be in danger!" Li Ji was a little nervous.

"Panic what!" Li Kun shouted: "Wang Duhu's military order is to let our troops ensure the safety of the flanks and buy time for the Chinese army to defeat the enemy." In this case, we will use the tactics of mounted archery to deal with the two groups of enemies for a while. ”

"Father, the Qarluqs and Sogdian light horsemen were not bad at cavalry. If we shoot at each other, our troops will surely suffer heavy casualties. "Li Ji was a little distressed by the people of the Gang Division. The Zodiac tribe lives in the far north of the country, where the population reproduces very slowly, and every Ding Zhuang is particularly valuable.

"Silly son, how can there be immortals in war? Blindly avoiding war in order to preserve strength will only become more and more cowardly. If you fight hard and defeat the enemy, what kind of losses can't be recovered? Li Kun educated his son: "What's more, Wang Duhu is very kind to our department, and we can't let him down." ”

"Thank you for my father's teachings, I am willing to be the vanguard and shoot the enemy general!" Li Ji, who was quite confident in his archery skills, replied proudly.

"Good! In this way, I can live up to the prestige of my Longxi Li family! "Li Kun, who has a strong fighting spirit, with his subordinates with bows and arrows, killed the Great Food Rebels and the Qarlu Army.

Mudea'a, who supervised the war, was also a little confused by the sudden appearance of the Qarluq tribe, and he thought that the father and son had already taken the opportunity to escape, but he did not know why they went and returned. However, Mutai'a instinctively felt that the Qarluqs were not in a good position.

The Khorasan cavalry and Sogdian light cavalry, who had just crossed the river, thought the Qarluqs were allies and were not wary of their presence. Moreover, judging by the trajectory of the Qarluqs' charge, their target seems to be the flank of the Don army.

"Go and ask the Governor what to do. I'll tell the commanders to beware of the Qarluqs. "Mude'a is in a hurry to order Abu? Muslim's guards returned, and he drove forward to find several Khorasan commanders who were leading the team.
