At the beginning of the war, it was not smooth, although the first echelon had Guo Ziyi personally led the elite troops to break through, coupled with the invincibility of Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan, they had the upper hand to a certain extent. But this slight advantage could not have played a decisive factor in the war.

After the rapid investment of troops on both sides, at a certain moment, the Turks had an advantage in numbers because of the close proximity and rapid reinforcement, and this period of time gave the Shuo army great casualties. However, when all the soldiers and horses of the Shuo army charged to join the battle group, the situation was finally stabilized.

Originally, the Shuofang army had a slight advantage in terms of total strength, because although the Turks were also 3,000 men, they had divided 500 chain armor soldiers in order to attack the boulder, and nearly 100 people were killed and wounded in the previous battle.

The disparity in the number of 600 people is obviously not a disadvantage that can be easily bridged. However, the Turks were good at kung fu on horses, and the battle on the horse was superior to that of the Tang army, which was their advantage, which was also the main reason why Li Guangbi was reluctant to fight hard with them, or because he was worried that the Tang army would not be an opponent of the Turks with the same strength.

It is precisely because of these factors that the delicate balance after the armies of both sides are all thrown into the melee. One side is good at horse warfare, and the other side has the advantage of numbers, which causes the situation to be stalemate. The most important test of this stalemate is the courage of the armies of both sides, and whoever loses first will be defeated.

More than a dozen war drums in the rear team of the Shuofang army lined up and beat 'dong dong', and the commander Li Guangbi rode his horse and crossed his sword, and dozens of war supervisors and guards stood beside him, just to prevent anyone from escaping from the battle. And in the rear of the Turks, General Gerdo also ordered to blow a trumpet that only advances and does not retreat to confront them.

On the battlefield, the shouts of killing are deafening, the figures are noisy, you come and go, and the screams come and go. The ownerless warhorse scurried after the owner fell off the horse, trampling on the bodies of dead or not dead people on the ground, trampling them into the snow. The ground was not so much snow as it was a messy bloody mire melted by blood and trampled on by horses' hooves. Fortunately, it was nighttime, and if it was daytime, it would be a sea of red blood within a radius of several miles, and a river of flesh and blood with stumps and broken arms.

Wang Yuan galloped into the battle group, the long sword in his hand flashed, slashing and stabbing, and he was brave. The improvement of martial arts skills in actual combat is far faster than just practicing. Wang Yuan himself felt that after experiencing the Battle of the Canyon and the Battle of Yanghe, he had quickly adapted to the cruelty of the cold weapon war, and his martial arts had grown rapidly. Just like in today's battles, many movements are done subconsciously, unlike when practicing, you have to consider the angle and posture of the moves, and you often can't turn around.

Killing five or six enemy soldiers along the way, Wang Yuan rushed into a group of Shuofang troops who were being surrounded by Turkic cavalry. After opening a bloody road, the dozen or so Turkic cavalry were dispersed, and the five or six Shuofang army knights who were surrounded inside were able to get out of trouble, and one of them was Guo Ziyi.

Guo Ziyi's armor was full of bloodstains, and the long sword in his hand was full of pitholes, and he rushed to Wang Yuan and said with a smile: "Wang Qin, I didn't expect you to have such skills, seeing you kill all the way like a pig and a dog, admire and admire." ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "My martial arts are not high, but I can still kill these Turkic pigs and dogs, what?" These are the only ones left in the front team? ”

Guo Ziyi nodded and said, "Yes, there are only a few of us left with five hundred brothers, but so what?" We have the upper hand now. By the way, where are your people? Did you save it? Do you want me to break up and save it? ”

Wang Yuan said: "I have been rescued, Mrs. Qin's beloved son is safe, but there are only about a dozen of my three hundred subordinates left." ”

Guo Ziyi sighed and said, "I don't know what to say." ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, let's kill the enemy and take revenge." ”

"Yes, kill the enemy, take revenge, and those who die cannot die in vain." Guo Ziyi urged the horse to rush out, and instantly exchanged hands with an enemy general not far ahead, and after a few rounds, the enemy general's head flew into the air.

Wang Yuan praised loudly, and also turned his head to find the opponent and start a fight.

The brutal fighting is endless, and those who participate in the war are red-eyed, only caring about wielding their blades to slash and kill their opponents, often cutting down their opponents with a knife one moment one moment, and then being attacked and dropped by others the next moment. In the chaos of the war, no one knows their life and death in the next moment, and no one has time to think about this.

A short horn sound came from the rear of the Turkic army, and the generals of the Shuofang army, who had been fighting against the Turks for a long time, knew the meaning of this horn, and Guo Ziyi jumped on his horse and shouted: "The Turks are going to break through and escape, and the turtle grandchildren are instigated and entangle them." ”

When the words fell, I saw that the Turkic cavalry on the battlefield had retreated one after another, and the place where the horn sounded towards the rear was to concentrate on breaking through. How was the Tang army on the battlefield willing to let them break away, sticking behind their butts to chase and kill, cutting down countless enemy soldiers along the way, but in the end it failed to prevent most of the Turkic cavalry from retreating to the rear.

Wang Yuan, sweating profusely, rode his horse to Guo Ziyi's side, gasped and asked, "What's the matter?" The Turks are so cowardly? Are you going to run away? ”

Guo Ziyi frowned and said: "This is not like the style of the Turks, the Turks are extremely tenacious like wolves, and they refuse to retreat easily, something must have happened." ”

As he spoke, a soldier pointed in the direction of the boulder pass and exclaimed, "What is that?" ”

Wang Yuan and Guo Ziyi hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, but saw a row of torches moving rapidly outside the boulder pass behind the Turkic soldiers and horses a few miles away, like a group of cavalry rushing out of the boulder pass.

In an instant, Wang Yuan and Guo Ziyi both understood the reason why the Turks wanted to break through and retreat, it was because Fan Yang's soldiers and horses in the Boulder Pass were dispatched. The Turks were afraid of being attacked from both sides, so they had to retreat.

"These dogs say, they have been watching the battle for so long, and now they are coming to pick up the bargain." Guo Ziyi scolded.

Wang Yuan sneered and was silent, Fan Yang's soldiers and horses in the Boulder Pass sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and at this time they rushed out obviously to pick up the cheap, this sneaky heart really made people gnash their teeth.

Li Guangbi in the rear also quickly understood the situation, and scolded angrily: "This group of shameless dogs, seeing that there is a advantage to take advantage of, came out to grab the credit, ordered to go down, and immediately attacked, An Lushan does not want to share my piece of the pie." ”

The team quickly adjusted the formation, divided into two teams from the flank towards more than 1,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, this formation is very strange, it stands to reason that to prevent the Turks from breaking through the siege should be directly blocked, but Li Guangbi did this obviously to let the Turks have a way to break through to the north, and the attacking teams on both sides only need to chase from the flanks. In this way, it is very likely that the Turks will escape, but Fan Yang Bingma, who rushed from the Boulder Pass to join in the fun, can't even drink a sip of soup.

Wang Yuan saw Li Guangbi's intentions from the formation, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. Li Guangbi would rather not be able to completely annihilate the Turkic soldiers and horses than let Fan Yang's soldiers and horses benefit, and he seems to be a little narrow-minded and ignorant of the overall situation, but Wang Yuan does not feel that Li Guangbi is wrong at all, but feels that Li Guangbi has a character and is very relieved.

1,800 cavalry drove the Turkic soldiers and horses from the flanks and began to chase them, which was a miraculous effect. Originally, Gerdo had already decided to fight to the death if the road to break out was blocked. Although there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses left, the Shuofang army still had more than 1,900 horsemen, and the difference in numbers was huge. But if it is a desperate fight, even if the whole army is annihilated, at least the Shuofang army will have to pay the corresponding price. However, the strange formation of the Shuo Fang army gave them a chance to escape, once they decided to flee with all their strength, they could only be driven away like prey without the power to fight back, and there was no threat to the Shuo Fang army.

The Shuofang army pursued and killed all the way, with bows and arrows as the main lethal weapons, and turned the people who shot the Turkic soldiers who fled in a hurry on the snowy fields on their backs. The speed of the Turks' war horses was faster than that of the Tang army, and after chasing ten miles away, they were out of the range of the bow and arrow, and Geerdo disappeared into the snowy night with about 700 remnants of his army.

Li Guangbi ordered to stop the pursuit, and immediately gathered soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield, and the hundreds of soldiers and horses who came from afar at the Boulder Pass did not catch anything, and they were embarrassed to stop, so they only said hello to Li Guangbi, and returned in a huff after saying a few words. From beginning to end, Li Guangbi didn't even look at them.
