Chapter 623 captures Datun City

On March 17, after a few days of silence, Zig finally couldn't bear it anymore and left Datun City with an army of 25,000, all of which were cavalry. The Uighurs may not have enough qualified cavalry, but they did have qualified horses, and sometimes, horses were more important than people. Zhao Yougong was a little envious of Qi Ge, if he Zhao could have 25,000 cavalry, where could he go in the world? The desire to occupy the Uighur horse farm is becoming more and more determined, but the Uighur city must not be returned, but the horse farm around the Peacock River and Puchanghai must be taken, as long as there is a steady stream of war horses, he Zhao can organize a large cavalry.

The Peacock River has beautiful scenery and fertile pastures on both banks, which is suitable for the survival of cattle and sheep, and the same is true for the Puchanghai area. Today's Puchanghai is not the desert Gobi Desert of later generations, it is still a beautiful lake, the sky is indifferent, the water and grass are fertile, the Peacock River, the Tarim River, and the Hotan River meet here, this is an oasis in the desert, the paradise of the Gobi Desert in the Western Regions. As long as you occupy the Peacock River and Puchanghai, there is no interest in other places. Unfortunately, the Yeling King did not know Zhao Yougong's intentions, and he thought that His Royal Highness Zhao really wanted to seize the city and occupy the Uighurs.

The cavalry of 25,000 people, once spread out, the momentum can be imagined. Just when Qi Ge was going to use the advantages of cavalry to start a decisive battle with the main force of the Dingguo Army, Zhao Yougong gave an order, and the army slowly retreated more than ten miles south, and at this time, Xiao Yue and Pang He left Ruoqiang to Zheng Biao to garrison, and led 4,000 cavalry to Datun City, but Qi Ge did not know anything about it. It's no wonder that Qige, didn't the Dingguo army want to occupy the Peacock River and directly attack Korla in the north, how could they give up Ruoqiang, which was fought down with great difficulty? But Ziggy was wrong. From the very beginning, the Dingguo Army never thought of occupying Ruoqiang, this place can be guarded, and it cannot be abandoned. In order to control the Peacock River and the horse farm near Puchanghai, there must be a strong city to rely on, and this strong city can only be Datun City. This is because there is no second fortified city in the entire southern Uighur region, except for the city of Datun. It can be said that the Uighurs misunderstood the strategic intent of the Dingguo army, so they made a wrong step.

The rumbling hooves of horses sounded, and the cyan cavalry was like a blue cloud. Wielding scimitars, they rushed forward. Since the Turks fled to the west, only the Uighurs have retained their original wildness, and in their hearts, the scimitar can split the sun and the moon. Lay down a big country. Now the descendants of the Turks are on a campaign against Europe, leading to the beginning of the Middle Ages, and the Turks are brave and brave in their conquest of Rome, while the Uighurs who remain in the Western Regions are being ravaged by the Dingguo army.

Cavalry, the sharpest weapon is not a knife, but a powerful impact, and there are countless iron plates with barbs on the ground. The horses went crazy and threw many Uighur cavalry off their horses. If facing the Khitan cavalry, this thistle can effectively organize a cavalry charge. However, against the Uighur cavalry, the effect was very small, because most of these cavalry were scattered in formation, and the distance between the men and horses in the front and rear was two or three zhang apart, so there was enough time to react. Zhao Yougong is not in a hurry, as long as he drags on. When Xiao Yue's cavalry and Yang Zaixing's cavalry converged, it was time to counterattack.

"Array" Lin Chong raised the Zhangba snake spear. Under the scorching sun, there was a dazzling light. The Dingguo army quickly divided into more than a dozen phalanxes. Then the longbowman was in the center, the shield-bearer was in the forefront, and the spearman and sword-man were behind the shield-bearer, and gradually the shield-bearer surrounded the whole formation, and the high shields formed a compact circle. A dozen large circular formations swirled continuously, and the Uighur cavalry could rush in along the line, but not too much in a short period of time, and it seemed that the Dingguo army was divided and besieged, but in fact it was the Uighur cavalry who were injured. The Uighur scimitars were only choked on the thick shields, but the bows and arrows of the national army could continue to harvest the lives of the Uighurs.

Although Qi Ge has lived in the Western Regions for a long time, he has also practiced the book of war, he seems to understand it, but he doesn't understand it, more than a dozen circular formations keep changing positions, it looks like the thirteen formations of yin and yang created by Cao Hong in the late Han Dynasty, but it is not like it. Because the Yin and Yang Thirteen Formations are on the periphery with spearmen and swordsmen, the soldiers are also occupied by each team of soldiers and horses, and they will never intersect with each other. But the big array in front of him is much heavier than the Yin and Yang Thirteen Formation, but on the contrary, such a bulky formation has a solid defense and good lethality. After looking at it for a while, Zige decided that he couldn't rush like this anymore, called his own soldiers, and said sternly, "Order Fei Dong, concentrate your forces to bite off the outermost circle formation in the southwest, and don't rush in." ”

Zigger's decision is not wrong, but how easy is it to bite a phalanx? After Fei Dong got the order, he mobilized 3,000 cavalry to surround a circle formation in the outermost part of the southwest, trying to open a gap, at this time, the other circle arrays slowly moved closer to the southwest, and then, one circle array dispersed, and then another circle array spread out, and then three circle arrays formed a larger circle array, and Fei Dong's 3,000 soldiers and horses were forced into it. With the passage of time, Fei Dong and the three thousand Erlang of the department had to be wiped out by the two large circular arrays inside and outside.

Zige's scalp was numb, and he was in a cold sweat, he didn't know how the Dingguo Army was trained, and how could he change the formation according to the specific situation in the big battle? Qi Ge couldn't watch Fei Dong's soldiers and horses die, he was thinking about it, and in a ruthless way, his eyes were firmly fixed on the golden dragon flag in the distance, "Sons, take that flag away with Lao Tzu!" ”

Capture the thief and capture the king first, capture the flag first and destroy the flag of the Dingguo army, this is the way that Qi Ge has no choice. But the flag of the Dingguo Army is so easy to capture, since the rise of the new Dingguo Army in Guanzhong, there has never been a thing to discard the military flag, Qi Ge led the troops to rush, without waiting for Zhao Yougong's orders, there were three generals rushing out of the horse, these three people are Shi Wengong, Deng Yuanjue and Wu Song.

Shi Wengong galloped on his horse, looked at Zige, and raised his hand to be an arrow, this arrow was as fast as a meteor, and Qige could dodge it, but the cavalry behind him was killed. is also a powerful Han dog, archery is so good.

Ziggy was a little scared, what was the use of being afraid, if he retreated at this time, this battle would not have to be fought. Although Qi Ge was brave, he could fight Shi Wengong, Deng Yuanjue and Wu Song alone, and the result can be imagined, after only three rounds, he was picked up by Shi Wengong's Fang Tianhua halberd, and the iron Zen staff in Deng Yuanjue's hand smashed down, and immediately smashed Qi Ge's head out of place.

Although Zig was not the first Uighur warrior, he was not a good one, but he was chopped up by a few Han Chinese, and then those living Uighur cavalry were panicked, and at this time, Pang He, Xiao Yue, and Yang Zaixing led the troops to kill, and with the attack of the chain of horses and light horses, the entire Uighur army was in chaos, and because of the absence of Qig, the orders were different, resulting in nearly 20,000 Uighur cavalry, some of which had to move forward, and some of them had to block the Han cavalry backwards. The disarray and low morale of the Uighur cavalry meant that even if the Uighur cavalry had a numerical advantage, it was still no match for the cavalry of the Dingguo army.

The chain of horses in the chain of iron ropes once again exalted their power in the Western Regions, and this time the invincible Uighurs finally saw the cavalry of the ancient town that was three points more ferocious than the Great Liao Tiefutu.

The Uighur cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and most of the Uighurs, who knew they had no hope, chose to surrender. The countries of the Western Regions believe in the respect of the strong, as long as they win, they will respect you as the master, is it shameful? There's no shame in it, it's a cultural difference.

After tying up more than 10,000 Uighurs, Zhao Yougong was very happy, not only getting more than 10,000 young captives, but most importantly, nearly 30,000 war horses. I remember that when I used to do business with Tuoba Qingyun, I was always pitted by that girl when I was picking a hundred horses, and now, His Royal Highness Zhao is a local tyrant, and I am no longer afraid that the damage of the war horse will not be able to make up for it in time. After defeating Zige, he put Feidong, the deputy general of Qige, to the south gate, and just wasted a few words, forcing the defenders in the city to open the city gate. The reason for this is very simple, Fei Dong is not an ordinary person, he is the only son of the Uighur Daqi Jin (that is, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses) Fei Guyang, and he is also the young patriarch of the future Turgish tribe, and most of the people guarding Datun City are from the Turgish tribe. Forced the Han to kill Fei Dong? Just kidding, as soon as Fei Dong dies, Fei Guyang will take a knife on their family. That's right, Ashinasha? Gu Shen is the Uighur Yeling King, but if you think that the Yeling King's family is dominant, it would be a big mistake, Fei Guyang is a Uighur Daqijin, the leader of the Tuqishi tribe, with 30,000 strong troops in his hands, occupying Yizhou, that is not afraid of the Yeling King's revenge at all.

Occupied Datun City, and Zheng Biao was stationed in Ruoqiang, in the blink of an eye, the entire southern Uighur has become the sphere of influence of the Dingguo Army, from Datun City to Puchanghai, only half a day's journey, that is to say, from now on, at least the four horse farms near Puchanghai have belonged to the Dingguo Army. Of course, Datun City fell, some people are happy and some people are worried, and the Yeling King knows that he has been fooled, but what can he do except be angry? However, the King of Yeling is a ruthless man, since the target of the Han people is not Korla, he simply gave up guarding the northern estuary of the Peacock River, and gathered nearly 50,000 troops to come towards Datun City with great momentum.

From Xizhou to Datun City, separated by a desert of more than 200 miles, Zhao Yougong really has no reason to be afraid, and what he relies on is not only a Datun City, but also some things are far more powerful than Jiancheng. Yizhou, located in the southeast of Yidu, when the Yeling King was plotting Datun City, a group of men and horses left the Tianshan Mountains from the mouth of the Guigu Valley and sneaked into Yizhou City at night.
