The sky is getting brighter.

The river was a little cold at dawn, and the horse, although it was an animal that liked to swim, was pulled into the river and was slightly uncomfortable and neighed slightly. But their performance is better than that of the big man-eating horses on the other side. The Tibetans had experience and plugged the ears of the war horses and were not affected. But the messengers did not say anything, and Salem was unprepared.

It is also possible that they deliberately did not say it, so that the Great Cannibals failed and pulled the battle line deep into Khorasan. Anyway, such a big country, a defeat in a battle will not bring down this country. This is beneficial to the Tibetan people.

The loud explosion made all the horses lose control.

The Tang army succeeded in seizing the beach, and it was about to engage in real battles, and it was inseparable from war horses. They had to divide their troops to restrain the horses, and the camp was in chaos at this time.

One by one, the horses were led into the river, although they were unwell, under the traction of their masters, they were carried by the reins and continued to swim towards Henan.

The army went ashore, and so did the horses. Salem saw many Tang troops on both sides on horseback, and the so-called people in the rear also trotted all the way and rushed over. vaguely knew the true situation, and immediately sent cronies to inform the four battalions on the left and right, regardless of whether the side roads were attacking or not, and all of them moved closer to the middle camp. He also ordered to forcibly crush the army that had landed on the shore of the Tang Dynasty, and when there were not many of them, they rushed back to the river.

Luo Wuquan looked at it, and then gave an order to let the two sides cross the earthen wall and support the Tang army who landed on the shore. One by one, the soldiers clumsily carried the trebuchets over, and the dozens of powerful large trebuchets had to stay. Standing in the rear, they again projected with fire pills, and the Tang Dynasty troops in front also shot with bows and arrows.

The attack of a ** was fiercely suppressed. There were also several waves of attacks that rushed to the camp of the Tang army, but at this time there was the Wuyou River behind, the boat drifted away, and the soldiers who knew how to swim, including the area in the river, were only a few people.

On the contrary, it boosted the morale of the soldiers, not only repelled the attacks of the big cannibals again and again, but also expanded the beachhead. Later, more Tang Dynasty troops crossed the Wuyou River. In particular, the return of more than 100 large ships reached 8 and 9,000 soldiers at one time, and the speed was much faster than that of small boats. When it was time to counterattack, under the protection of the front, the rear army got on the war horse, raised the horizontal knife and the big lance in his hand, and prepared to rush and kill.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Salem reluctantly ordered: "Withdraw, withdraw to the camp." ”

The big camp is also very strong. Not only was there a strong fence, but a ditch was built around it. Try to hold on with a large strong battalion, wait until the fourth battalion of the army arrives, and use the numerical advantage to save the tide of the battle.

This is also a wise decision, whether it can be successful or not, once all of them are retracted to the camp, it will bring unnecessary heavy casualties to the Tang army. At this dawn, there were many dead cannibals, and there were also many Tang Dynasty soldiers who died. If the sacrifice is too heavy, it will cause trouble for the subsequent deployment.

In order to achieve victory, Li Jinxing and Guo Yuanzhen also crossed the river and commanded the battle.

At this time, the troops were still very weak, and under the repeated attacks of the cannon fodder in front of the Great Eclipse, neither of them saw the intention of the Great Cannibal. Li Wei saw it in Hebei, and at this time of the battle, the sky was bright and he could clearly see the situation on the other side.

Immediately ordered: "Blow the horn of the attack." ”

The horn sounded of the three long and one horn, Li Jinxing and Guo Yuanzhen were stunned for a moment, but they did not hesitate, raised the weapon in their hands and said: "The big cannibal is going to escape, rush." ”

The Tang Dynasty army in front immediately flashed a road, and thousands of people rushed towards the Great Food camp. Luo Wuquan also cooperated, and ordered the remaining soldiers to climb over the earthen wall and join forces to attack the big cannibal.

It's time to decide the winner.

At this time, the east and west sides were also fighting musk wars.

Hearing the continuous sound of explosions, the soldiers became more confident, and they built a simple fortification on the ground. The soldiers of the left and right battalions also heard the sound of explosions, and soon learned the news of the arrival of this Tang army.

The intention is obvious, this is to cut off their own two armies and prevent them from supporting the center. But at this time, Salem came with an order, telling them not to act rashly, and to observe before mobilizing the troops. Muaz, the commander of the left battalion, and Rashid, the general of the right battalion, both hesitated.

This hesitation gave the Tang Dynasty army time to complete the fortifications.

The first to react was Muaz, seeing that all the soldiers of the first battalion in the west of the Tang Dynasty left, rushed to the middle camp, and sent people to observe carefully, at this time the sky was almost dawn, with a misty light, confirmed that it was an empty camp, and immediately led the army to the Chinese army. Along the way, I saw many small wooden boats floating down the river, I don't know what they mean, but I know that a large number of Tang Dynasty soldiers must have crossed the river, otherwise they will not give up these small boats. At this time, there were still illusions in his heart. The Tang Dynasty did not have many troops, and at least 10,000 soldiers were transferred to the border camps on the left and right, and there were not many troops to use. Besides, the wall of the trench in Guazi Mountain will also have a delaying effect.

He also encountered a group disaster.

Xue Ne built a fortification here, and there were quite a few troops, more than 3,000 people, which was not a disadvantage. Muaz ordered the infantry to raise their shields and attack, but were repeatedly repulsed. The stalemate ended, and he received a second order from Salem.

I don't know how the battle is going ahead, but with his subordinates, if he wants to break through this line of defense, even if he can rush through, there will not be many people left. So he rested and informed the border camp behind him with a fast horse. Regardless of whether the Tang Dynasty people attacked or not, withdraw for me, and fight and retreat, or withdraw smoothly, and keep the middle camp from losing. The result of the stalemate was favorable to the Tang army, so Xue Ne asked the soldiers to rest, and then made a guard, watching the movements of this Great Food Army.

Rashid woke up a little late, and he didn't see the boat that the Tang Dynasty people didn't want. His personality was also steady, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, so he sent a soldier who was good at swimming across the river to inspect it. At this time, there was no one left in the Tang camp, leaving only a tent, some supplies, and even all the weapons and weapons were taken away. But seeing the sacks that have not been opened, this is the material sent today. When I opened it, I was curious and opened it to see that there was everything inside, dead grass, branches, rotten grass roots.

The god was sick and sent the baggage here, and then moved back!

Sending supplies is fake, confusion is real, so that the troops can be mobilized to the center. Across the river, the scout shouted out the situation.

Rashid was so angry that he sent a few more soldiers who knew how to swim over, and asked them to burn down the whole camp with a fire. There was not much left, a small amount of food, as well as the clothes and luggage of the soldiers, as well as tents, some medicinal herbs, and forage for the horses.

Several large cannibals are engaged in sabotage, including three Persians. It really attracted Li Wei's attention, and sent two teams of cavalry back to inspect. It was worried that the big cannibal had a daredevil, and he could cross the river at this time regardless of the safety of the middle camp. The first battalion in the east is fine, burn it, burn it, war, how can there be no losses, is the bombing just now, how much money was spent? But I am afraid that they will threaten the people in the eastern camp, and don't look at the fact that they also have weapons and armor in their hands, once the big cannibals cross the river and attack them, they will be like sheep to the slaughter.

When the two teams of cavalry returned, they were dizzy when they saw these big cannibals making trouble, and immediately surrounded them, tied them up, and dragged them all the way to the middle camp. The three Persians are still shouting, we are Persians. The captain of the leader is even more angry, grandma's, the old man will restore the country of Persia for you, but you little rabbit cubs are working for the big cannibals and fighting against our Tang army to the end. A knife cut off the head melon seeds. This also shows the influence of Li Wei, such a stupid thing, has been done a lot in the past dynasties. If you don't change, you will continue to do it in the future.

Li Wei's political policies in Qinghai finally had an impact on some soldiers.

However, Persia is different from the Tuyuhun people of the Eastern Turks and Qinghai. The Eastern Turks have no medicine to cure, unless they exterminate their clans, as long as they do not exterminate their clans for one day, they will have the idea of recovering the country one day. The Tuyuhun people in Qinghai are even more black with Tubo. If you don't take cruel medicine, you can't be deterred, and if you can't be deterred, then you want them to die.

Persia has always been fighting against the Tang Dynasty and has always expressed its closeness to the Tang Dynasty. Of course, once they can really defeat the Great Food, it is difficult to say that they will be strong in the future. But in the past few decades, it has been very friendly to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Wei adopted the policy of appeasement.

The intention of this entanglement set up in front of the city of Talas is the same, different situations, different treatments. It must be soft when it is soft, and hard when it should be hard. At present, the effect is also very good, including those Persian merchants who lost their ships, they all sent people to secretly express their position, not to count, on the contrary, as long as the Tang Dynasty people need it, they will also offer assistance to the Tang Dynasty.

Muaz also understood why it had been so long that he had only heard the first few emergency news, but the sound of the fire medicine continued, but no news of the emergency came. This is a bluff on the part of the Tang Dynasty, let the cronies pass the order, and the whole army in the border camp will set up camp, and I will immediately return to the middle road. The place of the decisive battle has nothing to do with the side camp, it is in the middle camp. As soon as the middle battalion was lost, the whole army was annihilated.

His cronies rode away, and he gave orders for all the soldiers to get up and rush to the middle camp. Halfway through, I ran into Salem's scouts, so I didn't need to say anything more and continued on my way.

Xin Chengsi took a longer time to prepare, and the terrain was also favorable, there was a sand mountain, not high, and it led to a far oasis to the south, and there was a small aqueduct in front of the sand mountain, but the canal was not deep or wide, and it did not play much of a delaying role.

But it will help, now it is very calm, the more critical the time, even a minute is good, and all the earth bridges will be demolished. A defensive line was laid out on the sand hill. After a while, the big cannibals came. Like the forces on the western route, Rashid was blocked. He had more troops than Mu'az, but all the cavalry with combat effectiveness were transferred to the side camps, and all the infantry in his hands were mainly Persians. A couple of pontoon bridges were erected, and there was a delay for a while. Even Xin Chengsi took the initiative to rush down the mountain when they were building a pontoon bridge and shot with a bow and crossbow, causing some small panic.

The pontoon bridge was erected, and the sand mountain was not tall, but after all, it occupied a condescending advantage, and because of the long time, Xin Chengsi led his men to prepare some stones from this bare sand mountain. I pounced several times without success.

Rashid was late, but he sent the news to the border camp first. Haller, the commander of the border camp, also felt that something was wrong, and he withdrew his general team inward, avoiding the blow of the Tang Dynasty ships, which were cruising in the river. In addition, I received reinforcements, and my heart was at ease. At this time, I heard the sound of the Chinese army's explosions, and I was far away, and I couldn't hear it clearly, and it seemed to be right and wrong. So he looked at the other side suspiciously, and the Tang Dynasty people on the other side continued to toss, releasing the boat for a while, a boat for a while, and getting off the boat for a while, all like a group of rabble, and the momentum at the beginning was violent, and it became a world difference.

After receiving Rashid's notice, he knew that he had been fooled. Secretly hated that he was timid and afraid, in fact, he had been stalemate until now, and he had been at a disadvantage, including Salem himself, whose heart had always been tight, and when the Tang Dynasty really launched an attack, almost all the generals would feel nervous. It's not surprising that he's doing that.

First, he concentrated all the cavalry, about 3,000 people, and rushed to the middle camp first, and led the rest of the army to immediately set the camp west. Sure enough, I saw that all the big cannibals set up camp, and the boats cruising in the river turned around and stopped playing, and went west.

Almost drove Halle mad.

By the time more than 3,000 horsemen arrived at Shashan, the sky had already brightened, and a round of red sun rose two strokes high. Rashid ordered the more than 3,000 cavalry to use their speed advantage to go around from the south and make a circle. Pocket to the back of the Tang Dynasty, attack from both sides, and take down this group of Tang soldiers.

A very clever strategy, the reason why the big cannibal has been able to expand is also because there are many famous generals, including many middle and low-level generals in the military camp, with a high level of command.

Xin Chenghe's level may not be as high as Rushade, if it is worse, he will only work hard. But after following Li Wei for so long and coming into contact with many excellent generals, he has learned some things. So he said, "Guys, we don't need to support it for long. You heard that our Datang army has stopped bombing and it is time to defeat the main force of Dashi, show courage, you have made great contributions in this battle.

It really made him right.

This encouragement aroused the soldiers, and they rode the cavalry without going around the back of the sand hill and made some arrangements. The two armies fought again, and it was very fierce, and everyone was desperate. Rashid could not advance without opening this passage, and could not send only 3,000 cavalry to support. Xin Chenghei must be held firm, this is Li Wei's death order before leaving. Even if there is only one person left, it will not be able to let the Great Food Army team meet.

A very crucial move, Xue Ne's side is very loose, but it also plays an important role. Once the Great Cannibal reinforcements arrived, it not only strengthened their strength, but even boosted the morale of the entire Great Cannibal. This battle will be more than auspicious. Even if there is a big victory, the loss becomes very bad.

The sand mountain became a place of death again, and the soldiers on both sides kept falling, blood almost staining the slopes red on both sides.

The barrier between the two Tang Dynasty armies gave the middle route army a chance to win.

The sudden attack of the Tang army made the big cannibals panic. Instead, Salem's order was given at an inopportune time. The military team behind wanted to flee to the camp and blindly obeyed the psychology, and when they saw the Tang Dynasty military team riding over on horseback, they thought that the military camp was the safest place. The military team in front has not been notified yet, and continues to resist against the army, but in a blink of an eye, I saw that the military team behind me was fleeing, and for some reason, I put down the weapon and began to escape.

There are Tang Dynasty soldiers shouting at the head, and it is the soldiers in the middle of the river who are shouting in Persian, surrender and don't kill, let you go home. Not only were the armies on both sides shouting, but Luo Wuquan asked the group of captives who had escaped to shout as well. So many Persians laid down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

The scene was a mess.

Salem knew that this situation was the precursor to a great rout, and he had eaten so much in the past, and he had also annihilated the Persians in this way. He understood the intentions of the hateful emperor on the other side of the river, first striking east and west one after another, and constantly mobilizing his own troops. As he wished, twenty-five thousand of the most elite soldiers, not in the east, not in the west, but halfway through. Zai Li used the previous arrangements to launch the final battle.

As soon as the Chinese army was defeated, the eastern and western armies were also defeated. Then it is also difficult for the military forces in the east to protect themselves. Thinking of this, he was discouraged and made the final choice, taking advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty army had not completely crossed the river, he led part of the army to flee to Moufu City to protect himself, waiting for the reinforcements from the rear to arrive. But his career is over. It is also very rare, in exchange for other armies, whether it is the coalition army of the countries in the river, the army of the Western Turks, the army of Persia, or the ordinary army of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to hold on until now, under so many days of torture, it is possible that after a sudden bombardment, when the Tang army successfully lands, it will be crushed.

As soon as the commander fled, no one resisted, those who surrendered, those who fled, and the defeated deserters were everywhere.

"Cross the river," Li Wei said to several Byzantine emissaries.

"No, we'll go back right away." Matthew said.

Seeing now, the Tang Dynasty people will definitely win a big victory in this battle. I also stayed for a few days, and heard some information, the main force of the Great Eclipse is here, and this battle is completely annihilated, or there are some military teams in the East, but in the enemy-occupied area, Tocharian does not welcome them, and at this time the Great Cannibal is defeated, plus a Tang Army in the East, these military teams have not had a good life. Then the main forces of the Great Food in Khorasan and Sestan can be almost completely annihilated, and the Tang Dynasty's resumption of Khorasan is just around the corner. Don't forget that they still have the trump card of the Persian prince in their hands, and there are a large number of rebels to use.

But the Tang Dynasty had a long way to go, which was a disadvantage. It is quite possible that, as this emperor said, he made an agreement with the Great Cannibal.

I believe that after this battle, the big cannibals don't dare to underestimate the Tang people, after all, how many troops did they use to come over? There are also endless corps of troops to dispatch in the rear. It is possible to acquiesce to Khorasan's independence. Then in order to give an account to the country, Byzantium will usher in the blow of the madness of the Great Eclipse.

It is better to send troops at this time and join forces with the Tang Dynasty. Resolve some of the emperor's difficulties, and he will take a new interest in the wealthier Sindh and Makran regions. Because of cultural differences, he dared to treat Li Wei as Alexander. However, when Li Wei talked to them, he deliberately revealed his interest in these two areas by the sea, which confused him.

"Then I won't send you." As he spoke, he led his men into the boat.
