Tianbao eight years, in the early morning of the fifth day of June, three o'clock. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The clouds flow in the night sky, obscuring the twinkling starlight.

Under the starry sky, more than 100 miles south of the city of Talas, the grass is green and the river bends.

To the south of the river, the camps of the Anxi Army, the Hui Department and the Bahana State are lined up in order according to the shape of "inverted products".

More than 10,000 Anxi troops, as the most elite main force and the core of the army, are at the center and bottom of the "inverted character".

The camp of 10,000 Uighur cavalry and 15,000 Pakhana soldiers, one east and one west, formed two wings to defend the camp of the Anxi army.

The night is deep and silent.

The soldiers in the garrison of Bakhana were so sleepy that their eyelids were fighting, and they were dozing with their spears.

Suddenly, the horses' hooves clattered, and dozens of cavalry galloped in from the north, ready to pass between the camps of the country of Pakhana and the Uighurs.

"Who?" The soldiers of the Bakhana country guarding the camp asked in a loud voice.

"A certain is the Anxi light cavalry willow team is positive. Hurry up and report to Prince Dou Yama, the enemy attack! Enemy attack! The panting Liu, after a few roars, swept through the camp of the Bahanna army with his men without stopping.

Team Liu was about to send someone to inform the garrison soldiers who had returned to the camp, but they saw that the garrison soldiers who had already heard the word "enemy attack" and were turning over their horses and galloping towards the big tent in the camp.

"Stand up and down!" Team Liu secretly sighed, no longer delayed time, and continued to urge the horse forward.

When Team Liu and the others came to Gao Xianzhi's big tent, the grassland on the north bank of the Xiaohe River was noisy, and thousands of cavalry jumped out of the horizon and rushed south.

Tens of thousands of war horses kept rising and falling on all fours, like hundreds of thousands of giant hammers hitting the ground, and the tents in the Anxi army camp shook one after another.

"Command the whole army, immediately out of the account and line up! The four camp gates in the east, west, and northwest should each send a hundred pikemen to line up and block the camp gates as soon as possible! Each brigade of spearmen is guarded by a brigade of sword and shield soldiers, and the remaining 400 sword and shield soldiers rely on the wall to defend in array! Send another 400 crossbowmen to each gate to form behind the pikemen! Mo sword soldiers, light cavalry, and heavy cavalry knocked down all the tents and other flammable objects in the camp, ready to fight back at any time! Anxi soldiers are responsible for heralding orders and supervising battles! Let's rely on the walled city to fight the enemy! Gao Xianzhi hadn't yet walked out of the camp to meet Liu Teamzheng, and a clear military order had already been issued.

The Anxi soldiers hurriedly got on their horses to give orders, and the entire camp suddenly sounded golden drums, people and horses neighed, and the lights were bright.

Many Anxi soldiers had been awakened by the sound of vibrations coming from the earth before Gao Xianzhi's military order was issued. The fire captains and veterans with rich combat experience immediately spontaneously organized their companions to wear armor and prepare for battle!

After the tooth soldiers spread the order throughout the camp, a fire and a group of soldiers quickly walked out of the camp according to the formation, and according to the military order, they all took their positions, ready to meet the sudden enemy attack.

The horse's hooves rumble, and the stars are falling.

When the Anxi army was responding to the battle in an orderly manner in the large camp, Dou Wumo looked at the chaotic camp of the Bahanna army and shouted anxiously.

Suddenly encountering a night attack by the enemy, the 15,000 Bahana soldiers were flustered and panicked.

In terms of numbers, the three armies in the north are the most numerous, but in terms of combat strength, it is the weakest of Bahan's army.

After receiving the edict of the Heavenly Khan's western expedition, the state of Bakhana mobilized 20,000

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) After the assault on the city of Kuzhan and the raid of the Ziyad tribe, the kingdom of Pakhana lost thousands of men. However, in order to show his sincerity, Dou Zhongjie recruited soldiers again in the country, gathered another 20,000 horses, and went north to Tuozhi City to support the Anxi army.

Eager to defeat Abu as you go north? Mu Rim Gao Xianzhi didn't care at all about Tuozhi City, the capital of the Shi Kingdom that he had just conquered, and he did not leave any Anxi elite soldiers to guard the city, but handed over the task of garrisoning to the five thousand Bahanna soldiers led by Dou Zhongjie.

Before leaving, Gao Xianzhi told Dou Zhongjie that he only needed to close the city gate and rely on the defense of the fortified city in a down-to-earth manner, and not to make his own decisions and be self-defeating.

Gao Xianzhi understood that the victory or defeat of the Western Expedition was to destroy the Great Food Rebels, not to fight for the city. If you can defeat the main force of the Great Food Rebels, not to mention Tuozhi City, Sa Mojian will be able to go down with one drum; What if the North Court army is defeated by Abu? Muslim, it would be meaningless how many men and horses the Anxi army left behind in Tuozhi City.

The 15,000 Bakhana army, which followed Gao Xianzhi north, including 2,000 light cavalry, 1,000 archers, 1,000 pikemen, 1,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 10,000 auxiliaries, was led by the strong-blooded Dou Wuma.

The 10,000 auxiliary soldiers were very good at setting up camps, transporting baggage, and grazing horses, but if they were in battle to meet the enemy, their combat effectiveness was extremely low.

As for the archers, pikemen and sword and shield soldiers, they were set up by Dou Zhongjie to draw cats like tigers and imitate the arms of the Anxi and Beiting armies. They looked decent, but their weaponry and training intensity were far inferior to those of the Anxi army.

The light cavalry that really has a certain combat power in the Bahanna army is the light cavalry, but compared with the elite Hui light cavalry, the Bahanna light cavalry is still not a small gap.

Therefore, when the night was attacked, the camp of Bahanna was suddenly chaotic and chaotic. Dou Wumo led the guards who were not in good armor to suppress it as best they could, but the entire military camp was still panicked.

"Prince, looking at the enemy army from afar, there are tens of thousands of cavalry, our army is weak, we must prepare early!" The guards tentatively reminded Dou Wumo, and the implication was very clear.

"Do you want to avoid war again?" Dou Wumo's face was gloomy, and he drew his sword and shouted: "If you encounter the enemy, you will flee, and if you are in danger, you will retreat, how can you defeat the enemy if you act like this!" At the time of the ninth broken leaf military discussion in the first month of May, my father was repeatedly despised by others, isn't it because of you! Pass my military order, and quickly meet the enemy as a whole team! There are escapees, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”

The guards saw that the prince was stubborn again, and while bowing their heads to receive the order, they secretly exchanged glances. Once the situation is not good, they are ready to repeat the old trick and forcibly take Dou Wuma away.

Although the guards were afraid of Dou Wuma's anger, they were even more afraid of the prince's death on the battlefield. Dou Zhongjie's favor for Dou Wumo is known to the whole country, and if the prince makes any mistakes in their hands, the guards really can't imagine what kind of punishment they will encounter!

The people and horses in the camp of Bahan were chaotic, but the camp of Huifu was solemn.

After learning of the enemy's attack, the Hui cavalry of the brigade put on iron-clad armor, stepped on their horses, and assembled in a silent and orderly manner according to the ten-person team, the hundred-person team, and the thousand-person team, just like a group of Mobei wolves waiting to attack and hunt.

Prince Ye Hu quickly put on the delicate Tang Mingguang armor under the service of his personal guards, and quickly rode on his war horse and looked out to the north.

Looking at the cavalry rolling in under the starlight, Ye Hu frowned and said curiously: "How can the scouts of the Anxi Army be so useless, the Great Food Army has to be killed in front of the camp before giving warning, it's really strange."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Strange! If the Anxi army was so careless, how could it be possible to go on an expedition of thousands of miles to Xiaobolu and force back Tibet? ”

"Your Highness, in your opinion, it's not that the Anxi army scouts are incompetent, but that there is something wrong with the Qarluqs?" Dressed in military uniform, Lero drove his horse and said calmly.

"Well, why did Gesa Apo say that?" Prince Ye Hu is the leader of the younger generation of Hui Hui, but compared with the veteran Le Luo, his actual combat experience is still lacking.

"Has Your Highness ever thought about how the Tang Dynasty would govern Hezhong next if the Tang Army's Western Expedition won a complete victory?" Lero asked meaningfully.

"Tian Khan sent 100,000 troops, exhausted the elite of Anxi and Beiting, and the plan must be big, it is by no means as simple as conquering Shiguo......" Ye Hu thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Garrison in the river!" It is very likely that the Tang court will follow the example of Anxi and Beiting, garrison the river, and directly control the nine Sogdian surnames! ”

"Your Highness is wise!" Le Rozan said.

"The Black Mountain is extremely greedy, and he has long had the heart to dominate the river. If the Tang Dynasty garrisoned, his dream would come to naught. In this way, the rebellion of the Qarluqs is not difficult to explain. Ye Hu thought quickly: "Feng Changqing is scheming and resourceful, how could he not think of it?" No, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing induced a plot to slaughter the city in Montenegro just to cut off his thoughts. I'm afraid they were too confident and never thought that they would completely rebel against Montenegro! Thinking about it, the big cannibal also prescribed conditions that were enough to make the heart of the Black Mountain of Mou Ra Montenegro! In this way, it is no wonder that Mou Ra Sihan will not bear to slaughter the city, thinking that he has already rebelled at that time. However, it is very good, and if we take the opportunity to weaken the Qarluq department, it will also benefit our army......"

Flero glanced at Prince Ye Hu, who was immersed in his own thoughts, and said faintly: "Your Highness's quick thinking and far-reaching thinking are admirable. However, the top priority is how our army should deal with itself? ”

"Our army?" Ye Hu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Leluo meant......

100,000 enemies rode like tigers and wolves; Menacing and dusty.

The camp of Bahanna was in chaos, and the camp of Huifu was ready to go, and the camp of the Anxi army was heavily guarded.

"Team Liu, how can the Great Food Rebels be able to touch so close to the camp? What about the Black Mountain? Feng Changqing, who came in a hurry, was unsteady and almost fell, but Cen Shen hurriedly helped him.

The prison army Bian Lingcheng looked miserable and covered in chaff!

"Tell the marshal, tell the judge, plot to rebel in Montenegro! The Qarluqs and the Great Food Rebels have colluded together and are heading for the camp! "The Liu team was worried about causing panic among the Bahans and the Uighurs, and did not inform them of the rebellion of the Qarluq.

"Is there any evidence for Team Liu's words?" Feng Changqing's face was suspicious. He always thought that he was stupid and stupid, although he was greedy, he would never dare to betray the Anxi Protectorate, let alone betray the Tang Dynasty.

"Judge, we saw with our own eyes that Team Xue was being shot by the Qarluqs! In order to cover us first, Bai Lushuai and others are uncertain about life and death, this is the evidence! Team Liu replied in a loud voice.

Feng Changqing was shocked and almost fell again. Cen Shen, who was standing beside him, helped him up and sighed softly: "How can a beast who can wield a butcher's knife against innocent people be loyal? ”

"Cen Zhangshu, slaughtering the city is a strategy set by the marshal, how can you criticize it! Besides, I think you cherish those sisters too! Cen Shen's emotion made Bian Lingcheng feel particularly harsh!
