Between the two armies, the banner hunting, a hot wind blowing in the northwest desert, so that the soldiers in the two armies feel the heat, the scorching sun is in the sky, the commanders of the two armies know that with the extension of time, it will get hotter and hotter, morale will be more and more low, if you want to fight, you have to be early!

The two sides have nothing to say, the scene has been explained, and all that is left is to do it with real knives and guns!

On the side of the Tang army, Zhao Hu pointed forward with the horse lance in his hand, and led 10,000 Hu cavalry to take the lead in attacking the servant army of the Great Food Army, and Said was not far behind, he knew the tactics of the cavalry, and the higher the speed of the cavalry, the stronger the attack power, he brandished the scimitar and shouted loudly to personally lead the team to rush to the oncoming Tang army.

As Tang Jun's servant army, these Western Turkic Hu cavalry obviously had a much stronger sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty than the Sogdians to the Great Food Country, and these Western Turkic barbarian Hu Cavalry exerted their greatest combat effectiveness at this time, because they knew that they were not fighting this battle for the Tang Dynasty, but for themselves, the Great Food Army had already entered their territory, if they did not go all out and did not fight to the death, if they were defeated, what awaited them would be the crisis of the extermination of the whole clan.

On the contrary, the Sogdians were not willing to fight with these Western Turkic horsemen at all, and it was helpless for them to surrender to the Great Cannibals, and it was also a helpless move to fight with the Western Turkic barbarian horsemen under the coercion of the Great Cannibals.

The scene of 10,000 horses galloping was absolutely shocking, not to mention that there were more than 10,000 horses now, and there were 30,000 light horsemen on both sides combined, and the earth was constantly trembling and shaking under the trampling of these iron hooves, and puffs of smoke and dust rose from the place of battle, and they were shrouded in the sky over the battlefield.

War brings with it the call of death, and a large group of vultures, which have already smelled the breath of death, do not dare to approach this extremely dangerous battlefield, and can only hover and dance in the distant sky.

There was a "boom", and the front cavalry of the two sides had already collided together.

A cavalryman from the Geshu tribe stabbed a spear into the chest of a Kangguo cavalryman on the opposite side, but was cut off by a Kangguo cavalryman next to him with a scimitar, and a Hu cavalry of the Rat Nishi tribe pierced the bodies of the two Cao cavalrymen with an iron spear in succession and strung them on the barrel of the gun.

The clashing of weapons and the tooth-aching sound of blades cutting through armor and cutting through bodies filled the battlefield.

Blood splattered everywhere, corpses fell from their horses and were trampled into flesh, weapons turned into twisted scrap metal after collisions, helmets rolled to the ground, and ownerless horses ran around.

There is no doubt that the two sides are mixed together, although the servant army of the Great Food Army has a large number of soldiers, which is twice as large as the barbarians under Zhao Hu, but it cannot be compared with the barbarians under Zhao Hu in terms of morale and will to fight, they are forced to go to the battlefield, and the barbarians under Zhao Hu are actively facing the battle, the purpose of the battle between the two sides is not the same, this battle has already been divided before the start of the victory, it has nothing to do with the number of troops, but the generals of both sides have not taken this into account.

After the Sogdians, who were reluctant to come to the battle, were rushed and killed many people in the front row, fear began to spread, and soon swept to the two wings, the mixture of huge casualties and no will to fight collapsed the front row of the Sogdian army on the spot, and many people began to turn around and flee, this escape quickly affected the people in the center and rear, they saw the front turn around and flee to this side, the Sogdian army in the center and rear also began to turn around and flee, and Zhao Hu, who was covered in blood, immediately waved his troops to chase and kill.

Gao Xianzhi, who was standing on the high platform watching the battle, saw the enemy army defeated and fled, and immediately ordered: "Mingjin, collect the troops!" ”

"Yes!" The herald immediately conveyed the military order, and several soldiers struck it violently with a gong, and the sound of the gong "dangdang" resounded throughout the battlefield.

Bian Lingcheng, a general, was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he didn't come to the battlefield in person, so he didn't come and stayed in the camp alone. Liang Zai, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu standing next to Gao Xianzhi, was a civilian official who didn't know much about the military formation, and he asked: "General, the enemy army has been defeated, why don't you let Zhao Hu lead the troops to continue the pursuit, but you have to order Ming Jin to collect the troops?" ”

Gao Xianzhi pointed to the large food army camp on the opposite side, which covers an extremely wide area, and said indifferently: "There are multiple camp gates in the big food army camp opposite, and there are a large number of archers in the camp, and now the servant army of the big food army is defeated, if Zhao Hu is allowed to lead the troops to continue the pursuit, the big food army can rush out of the camp gates on both sides of the battle battlefield to intercept Zhao Hu's troops, so as to cover the rout and escape into the camp, and although the bows and arrows of the big food army are a little worse than our army, they still have great lethality, as long as they send a large number of bows and arrows to shoot at the position, Zhao Hubu didn't dare to chase before the enemy's camp, since this was the case, why let Zhao Hubu do useless things? ”

Liang Zai and the soldiers and horses Cao Lingzhong and other generals listened to what Gao Xianzhi said, and they all suddenly realized that this was also the first time that Liang Zai and these civilian officials came to the battlefield in person, and many military formations were not clear.

Zhao Hu, who was leading the troops to chase and kill the Sogdian army, heard the rapid sound of gold from the rear, and immediately stopped his horse and looked back, not only on the handsome platform, but also under the banner of retreat, he turned his head and looked at the fleeing Sogdian army again, and shouted unwillingly: "Order, the whole army collects troops and returns to the camp!" ”

After leading the soldiers and horses into the camp one after another, and arranging the barbarians, Zhao Hu didn't care about the blood, and took a few personal soldiers to the big tent of the Chinese army with a horse lance, entered the big tent, and bowed to Gao Xianzhi with his fists: "General Qiyu, the last general was ordered to fight with the two foreigners of the Great Food Servant Army, and killed more than 5,000 people, and now he is ordered to collect the troops and return to the camp to return to the general!" ”

Gao Xianzhi admired Zhao Hu, the young tiger general, very happily: "Okay, in this battle, General Zhao won a big victory against 20,000 enemies with 10,000, and won a lot, showing the momentum and military prestige of our army. ”

Zhao Hu clasped his fists and saluted, then stepped aside.

Liang Zai, the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses sitting on Gao Xianzhi's right hand, sighed at this time: "General, our original intention was to test the combat strength of the main force of the Great Food Army, but we didn't want to be stupid to use the servant army to deal with us!" However, this battle was not without gains, at least the number of servant troops of the Great Food Army was lost! What is the general going to do next? ”

Gao Xianzhi pondered for a long time and said: "The two armies have just fought, a total of 30,000 troops have been dispatched, the enemy has suffered a lot of casualties, and our army has also suffered some casualties. ”

Liang Jae asked, "What should we do if the Great Cannibals send an army to fight?" Facing the battle? ”

Gao Xianzhi shook his head and said: "They have just experienced a rout, and their morale is low, and they want to appease the other servant armies, it should be impossible for them to send troops to fight today, even if they send troops to fight, it will not be too late for us to meet the battle!" ”

Seeing this, everyone left one after another to arrange for the cleaning of the battlefield, and soon Liang Zai sent someone to report that the Great Food Army had sent someone out to raise the white flag, asking for permission to allow them to collect the bones, and Gao Xianzhi agreed with a slight groan.

On June 14, the Tang Army Central Army made a big tent.

Gao Xianzhi looked at the generals and officials on the left and right sides and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, General Zhao Hu fought a battle with the Sogdians, the servant army of the Great Food Army, and the purpose of this general was to test the combat power of the main force of the Great Food Army, but he didn't expect that the Great Food Army was not stupid, but he just sent a servant army, although he did not test the combat power of the main force of the Great Food Army, but the combat power of the servant army of the Great Food Army was tested, and we won a big victory with one enemy and two enemies, which shows that the combat power of our servant army is at least twice that of the enemy servant army!" Today, Ben decided to send another brute to test the Great Food Army, and if the Great Food Army sent its main force to meet it this time, it would be exactly what I wanted! If the Great Cannibal sends a servant army to meet the battle, then our army will take this opportunity to annihilate the living force of the enemy army! I wonder what you think? ”

The generals clasped their fists and said in unison: "The last general has no objection, please give the general an order!" ”

Gao Xianzhi looked at the generals present, his eyes swept over each of them, and finally stopped at Cao Lingzhong, and said: "On the right side of our army is 20,000 barbarians from Anxi, and this general, as the commander of the army, cannot go into battle in person for the time being, but if others are allowed to command these 20,000 barbarians, I am afraid that the leaders of these tribes will not be convinced." General Cao, you are an envoy of Anxi's soldiers and horses, your qualifications and prestige are high enough, and you are familiar with these barbarian leaders, I want you to command 20,000 barbarian soldiers to call a battle to challenge, what do you think? ”

Cao Lingzhong hugged his fists and said: "Of course the last general is willing, but if the big cannibal ignores our provocation and call, how should the last general respond?" ”

Gao Xianzhi said: "The Great Food Army has more troops than us, and there are many people, if we go to challenge and call for battle, they will ignore it, and their soldiers will still have a glow on their faces?" Morale will inevitably drop significantly, and at that time, we will directly attack the opponent's camp, and we will forgive them and dare not react, unless the opponent's leading commander is a wine bag and rice bag! ”

"The Admiral understands!" Cao Lingzhong clasped his fists and saluted, then pressed his sword and turned to leave.

After an hour of preparation, Cao Lingzhong commanded 20,000 barbarian soldiers in Anxi to walk out of the camp and came to the camp of the Great Food Army to call for a challenge.

On the opposite side of the camp of the Great Food Army is also stationed the Sogdian servant army, which is the left flank of the camp of the Great Food Army, and there are 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Fire Xunguo, Anguo, He and Shi Guo in this camp, all of which are cavalry, while the Tang army also has 20,000 troops on this side, and the strength is basically the same.

Qi Yade, who was in the camp of the Chinese army, heard that the Tang army sent 20,000 barbarians on the left flank to challenge the battle, his brows immediately furrowed, of course he knew Gao Xianzhi's plan, he would use 20,000 people for a tentative attack, if he sent fewer troops, he would be eaten by the Tang army, and if he sent too much, he had to use the main force, but if the main force was used, wouldn't it be in Gao Xianzhi's arms?

After thinking about it, Ziad still decided to send the two Sogdian servant armies on the left flank to meet the two foreign barbarians of the Tang army, hoping to defeat the Tang army this time, at least to stabilize the position and remain undefeated, otherwise they will be defeated in two battles in a row, and the blow to morale will be really big!

After thinking about it for a long time, Ziad decided to let Daoud command the 20,000 Sogdian army against the 20,000 barbarian troops of the Tang army. (To be continued.) )
