Because the matter of attacking Ba Ximi was not reported to the imperial court, and did not get the support of the emperor and the imperial court, this belonged to Zhao Ziliang to send troops without authorization, so Zhao Ziliang could not send a letter to Wang Zhongsi to ask him to order Shuo Fang's army to cooperate, Mobei City had a total of 6,000 soldiers and horses, he left 1,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, with 3,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry from Mobei City to Ba Ximi territory all the way to march, 200 miles east of Udegan Mountain and 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Absi and others, a total of 10,000 steps to ride to Udganshan Mountain.

The Tang army appeared on a large scale near Udganshang, and was soon discovered by the outpost of Ba Xi Mi, and the news reached the Ba Xi Mi tooth tent after the Jiechuan Ishikhan and his subordinates were shocked, and the Jiechuan Ishmi Khan immediately ordered all the soldiers and horses near the tooth tent to be urgently assembled, with a total of 18,000 cavalry, and there were more than 15,000 cavalry in other parts of the Ba Ximi territory that could not be gathered in a short time, and Jiechuan Ishmi Khan had to lead the 18,000 cavalry to meet the Tang army.

The chiefs of the tribes of Ba Ximi were worried about a misunderstanding, so they sent a centurion to lead a hundred troops to the front of the Tang army to inquire about the intention, but they did not want only a few wounded to flee back.

"Master Hou, it's only thirty miles away from Udeqian!" Brehan rode back to report it.

Zhao Ziliang had been here for a few months after the Turks had been here after the previous joint attack with the Mobei tribes, and naturally knew that this place was not far from the tooth tent of Pulling Ximi, so he immediately ordered: "The infantry army is in the center, the cavalry is on the left, and the friendly army is on the right!" The military array is 100 paces apart, slowly advancing! ”

"Obey!"

With the order, the armies began to put away a long snake formation, lined up in a large-scale phalanx of left, center and right, and the infantry of the Chinese army was divided into the front army and the rear army, with 2,000 people in the front and 2,000 people in the back, and the command center in the middle, Zhao Ziliang's general banner and the army were all here, and three hundred iron cavalry guarded the command center.

The main purpose of Zhao Ziliang's troops this time was not to fight a decisive battle with Ba Ximi, the role of the Tang army was to contain the Ba Ximi army in the front, and the main responsible for attacking the Hui army of Guli Peiluo and the eastern Qarlu army of Wuli were to kill from the north and northwest respectively.

Because Zhao Ziliang's Tang army and the Later Turkic army had a total of 10,000 cavalry, all the attention of Ba Ximi was aroused, and Guli Peiluo and Wuli took this opportunity to sneak up on the northern part of the Oudeqian Mountain.

The Tang army and the Later Turkic army were marching in the direction of Udganshan in a neat array of fish scales, and a horse came to report: "The 18,000 horsemen of the Ba Ximi army are catching up with our army, and it is only twenty miles away!" ”

When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he immediately stopped his horse, and at the same time raised his right hand, and the herald shouted: "The whole army stops advancing!" ”

"The whole army stops advancing!"

"Boom" twice, with the sound of neat footsteps on the earth, the whole army stopped, and the ground was angry with some dust and grass clippings.

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to observe the surrounding situation, pointed to a slightly higher place next to him and ordered: "The whole army moves to that high ground, the friendly army and the cavalry of the left army go first, and the infantry army is behind!" The armies move in order, and they must not fight, and those who violate them will not be forgiven!"

With Zhao Ziliang's order, the Tang cavalry and the post-Turkic cavalry each turned according to their hands and began to move to a slightly higher terrain next to them.

After the cavalry arrives at the designated place, it can be used as a cover for the infantry, and the infantry at this time the task behind the palace is completed, under the order of Zhao Ziliang, the front army becomes the rear army, and the rear army becomes the front army, immediately turn back, and trot forward to the high place in an orderly manner, just arrived at the predetermined position and turned again to face the direction of Udganshan, and the 18,000 cavalry of Ba Ximi was already in sight.

The smoke and dust in the sky and the withered yellow grass clippings flying in the air, the vibration of the ground was transmitted to the high ground, but the faces of every soldier of the Tang Army did not change in the slightest, and they had not seen the Mobei Grassland Army of this scale. Nowadays, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is one of the best in the whole world, and the combat effectiveness of the army is also one of the best, which is the source of the Tang Army's own soldiers, and fearlessness is completely on their faces.

The Basimi army is slowly moving forward, they are in a loose formation, the military formation is completely irregular, there are many post-Turkic cavalry in the army that have just been arranged, these post-Turkic cavalry have no sense of belonging at all, so the Basimi army looks very awkward, if there are no these captured post-Turkic cavalry in the middle, maybe the combat effectiveness of this Basimi army is still stronger, it is because these post-Turkic cavalry who have no sense of belonging are mixed in it, but the combat effectiveness is pulled down.

"Newspaper-report-" A cavalry detective came on Pegasus.

"Qi Qi Khan, the Tang army stopped at the Tumen Mound twenty miles away, and set up a military formation there.

"Oh?" Ish-Khan was a little surprised, didn't the Tang army come to attack? We're at the doorstep now, but stopped?

Just when Ishkhan was wondering, a shaman next to him said: "Khan, the people of the Central Plains have always been good at guarding, they came from afar, and their combat power is somewhat depleted, they should want to set up a military formation to rest, let the army recover its combat strength, and then fight a decisive battle with our army!" ”

Hearing this, Ishhan nodded, "What the shaman said is all reasonable, then we will take advantage of their combat strength before they have fully recovered and immediately wave our troops to kill them, and kill them by surprise!" ”

The shaman hurriedly stopped: "Khan is slow, don't be impulsive at this time!" I'll wait until I ask! ”

After speaking, the shaman asked the sentinel: "How many soldiers and horses does the Tang army have?" ”

"The Tang army has 3,000 cavalry, 4,000 cavalry, and more than 3,000 cavalry of the remnants of the Later Turks, a total of 10,000 cavalry!"

The shaman listened and looked at the Ishke Khan and said: "Khan, the situation is already clear, the Tang army has foot cavalry, and occupies the high ground, if we take the initiative to attack, they have a geographical advantage, and the Tang army has excellent weapons and sharp weapons, thick and strong protective gear, although the strength of the army is less than our army of 8,000 people, but their combat power is much higher than our army, our army at this time to attack can not take the slightest advantage!" ”

Hearing this, Ish-Khan exhaled, "Then what should I do?" Do we have to wait for their combat strength to recover, and then we will fight? Isn't that even more uncertain? ”

The shaman shook his head and said, "Khan, since the Tang army is not in a hurry when it comes from afar, why should we be in a hurry? And this is our territory, we are very familiar with the grass and trees here and the weather changes, but the Tang army may not be familiar with it, this is our advantage, and the khan has already sent people to gather more soldiers and horses? When the soldiers and horses scattered all over the country arrive, we will have more and more troops. In addition, the khan can also send people to contact the Guli Peiluo of the Hui Department and the Wuli of the Eastern Qarluq, promise heavy benefits, and ask them to jointly send troops to deal with the Tang army, as long as the Tang army is defeated this time, I Ba Ximi will definitely be able to shock the north of the desert, deter the southerners, so that they do not dare to invade us easily! And I, Ba Simi, have also established a supremacy in Mobei, and as for the convergence and the eastern Qarluq, the Khan will have a chance to deal with them again in the future! Now we don't have to rush to a decisive battle with the Tang Army, we can first test the combat strength of the Tang Army, and then decide according to the situation, if the Tang Army's combat strength is strong, we will temporarily avoid its edge, fight and walk, and wait for the Tang Army's combat effectiveness to be dragged down, and our army's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and we will destroy this Tang Army in one fell swoop."

Ish-Khan was overjoyed when he heard this, "It is worthy of being the shaman of my clan, and it is indeed a scheming peerless!" Okay, according to the shaman's method, he ordered all the subordinates to camp and rest on the spot, and send rangers to investigate the movements of the Tang army at all times! ”

"Yes, Khan!"

The news of Ba Ximi's surprise camping twenty miles away quickly spread to the Tang army's side, Zhao Ziliang listened to the report of the outpost and said with a smile: "Okay, as I expected, Ba Ximi still doesn't dare to fight me to the death, if they attack with all their strength now, we will be miserable, although we will not be defeated, but the heavy losses are certain, but it will let the Hui and the eastern Qarluq take advantage!" The order goes down, and the various departments can camp on the spot to rest, but the horses do not unload the saddle, the people do not take off the armor, and the scout battalion sends more detective cavalry detective sentry posts to detect every move of Ba Ximi, and in addition, it is necessary to keep in touch with Guli Peiluo and Wuli, and if there is any news from their side, report it at any time! ”

Brehan promised: "Obey!" ”

After the two sides began to set up camp, the fight between the double-shot detective and detective posts became more intense, guarding against each other to spy on each other's details, and sending detective posts to constantly spy on each other's details, which can be described as both shields and spears.

In just one night, both sides lost heavy losses to their mounted detective posts, and both sides did whatever it took to be able to spy on each other's details, so on the invisible battlefield, the detective sentinels of both sides fought fiercely, but neither had the upper hand.

The next day, in order to make the trick real, Zhao Ziliang sent a third of the men and horses to carry out a tentative attack, the attacking cavalry, the action was fast, and there were only twenty miles between the two sides, and the assembly speed of Ba Ximi was too slow, and when the light cavalry of the Tang army arrived, the Ba Simi army had not had time to form a team, the team was in chaos, the cavalry of the Tang army rushed into the left flank of the Ba Simi army under the leadership of Brehan, broke a large area, slashed a burst and withdrew in time, leaving only the corpse of the Ba Simi people.

Seeing that the casualties exceeded more than 2,000 cavalry, Ishke Khan was furious, and despite the dissuasion of the shamans in the clan, he ordered 6,000 cavalry to kill the Tang army camp.

Different from the Ba Simi army, the Tang army was well-trained, and it only took three or four minutes to assemble, and when the six thousand cavalry led by Ishkhan arrived, the Tang army infantry had already lined up in a strict formation, and the cavalry had all mounted their horses and lined up, but the three thousand soldiers and horses of the Later Turks did not have the training quality of the Tang army.
