In the distance, the banner of the Don Army was flying, and thousands of cavalry were killing themselves. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Meet the enemy!" Roaring in horror, Jieli jumped on his horse, raised his broadsword, and commanded his men to prepare for battle.
The crescent moon sinks in the west, the sparse stars fade their light, and a ray of light looms on the eastern horizon.
The earth was shaking, and the black-armored Tang army was like an icy torrent, piercing the night before dawn and tearing through the gloom on the Gobi Desert. The flags of "Li" and "Cheng" were carried high and danced, and bursts of dust were raised behind them.
"Stop!" There was a shout from the Don army, and thousands of cavalry stopped in front of the Turks.
Jieli was in the middle of the formation, looking at the Tang army in front of him with a solemn expression. The subordinates around him clenched the weapons in their hands tightly, and in the silence they could hear the sound of someone swallowing in the array.
"Jieli, you have repeatedly violated my Datang border, plundered my Datang people and food, and now you dare to provoke wars, if you think about it, obediently put down your weapons, go back to Chang'an with the old man, meet the saint, and maybe save your dog's life!" Otherwise, huh! Li Daozong rode a horse, came to the front of the formation, raised his long knife, and pointed at Jieli, with a murderous aura.
"Humph!" Jieli snorted coldly, and his eyes looked in the direction of Liangzhou.
Li Daozong looked at Jieli coldly and did not speak again.
Cheng Yanjin rode a horse, holding the horse rope in one hand and the horse lance in the other, laughing: "Why bother talking to him, since you don't want to, then fight!" ”
Thousands of Tang cavalry raised their weapons and slapped them on the armor, shouting in unison: "Fight!" War! War! ”
"Hahaha, the **** turtle son's!" After Cheng Biting Jin finished speaking, his legs were clamped, he took the lead, and the fast horse under his crotch was like lightning, rushing towards the Turks.
"Kill!" The Tang cavalry behind him poured out like a black tide, followed behind Cheng Yanjin, and pounced on the Turks.
Several Turkic soldiers tried to retreat, but were beheaded by Jieli, who roared: "Don't retreat, kill Lao Tzu!" Hold on, our reinforcements will arrive soon! ”
Some Turkic soldiers were a little hesitant when they saw Jieli hacking their own people who retreated to death, but suddenly heard Jieli say that there were reinforcements, and immediately aroused a strong desire to survive, and everyone's faces showed a hideous look, "Ahhh
In the sound of the loud horn, the Tang cavalry was black, like the waves of a pine forest, and slapped wave after wave at the Turks in a frenzy. Not to be outdone, the Turks had their own pride, and as a people on horseback, they relied on their skillful riding skills and strong bodies to meet the black pine waves.
At last the two armies collided like a sea of mountains, rumbling like thunder, neighing horses' hooves, swords clashing, and the sound of body piercing...... All the voices are mixed together, which makes the adrenaline rise, and the passionate passion in the chest is difficult to vent.
The iron man struck, the hideous face, the bloody sword, the low howl, the smoke and dust, the Gobi Desert was enveloped by the tragic aura of this primitive fighting.
With the superior Tang army on one side and the fleeing Turks on the other, it was an asymmetrical war from the beginning. Even though most of the Turks had the determination to fight against the odds, they were extremely fierce and tenacious, but they were quickly divided and scattered under the hooves of the iron-like Tang army.
"Master Hou, why don't we go up and kill a few Turks?" The mouse came up from behind and asked White.
Bai Qi looked at Tang Jun, who had the advantage, turned around and patted the mouse's head, and scolded with a smile: "Be careful!" Our Cloud Breaking Army doesn't take advantage of these small advantages, and if you want to do it, you can do it big! ”
The mouse lowered his head, touched his head, smiled embarrassedly and said, "But we don't have anything to do here, the brothers are red-eyed, it's good to go up and cut a few Turks!" ”
In the distance, Changsun Chong ran back with someone, out of breath. Bai Qi handed him a pot of water, and Changsun Chong drank it with a round of grunting at the mouth of the bottle, then put down the kettle and let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Crazy, there is an army from Tuyuhun in the direction of Liangzhou!" ”
Bai Qi punched his palm, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, as we expected in advance, Jieli and Tugu Hun Fuyun really have a leg!" He raised his head and asked Changsun Chong, "Monkeys, how many of them are there, and how far are they from here?" ”
"There are about 10,000 people, and it's about twenty miles from here!"
Bai Qi thought seriously for a moment, and then said to Changsun Chong: "You lead a small detachment of fifty people to lay more traps on the way to Tuyuhun and slow down their march!" Be careful, don't be caught by them! ”
The eldest grandson clenched his fists, jumped on his war horse with fifty soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army, and rushed into the night to set up traps along the way.
Bai Qi said to the mouse: "Mouse, you take two people and six horses, and immediately inform Li Jing and Li Daguan of the situation here as quickly as possible, and ask them to send troops to support!" ”
"Yes!" The mouse saluted, took two warriors, took advantage of the night, picked up a few Turks who were in front of him, and galloped away into the depths of the Gobi.
"Chu Mo, Fang Yiai, the two of you each lead a small team, attack from the left and right flanks, and do your best to break through the barriers on both sides of Jieli! The rest of the people, wait for the rest of the people, follow Benhou to kill the enemy! ”
"Yes!"
Everyone removed the three black sticks they were carrying behind them and formed spears or halberds. White jumped on the horse, grabbed the horse's belly hard, and jumped out of the trench in the darkness first. He was followed by dozens of Cloudbreakers, and they advanced into the Turks like lightning at once, catching them off guard!
"Defense, you bastards, resist Lao Tzu!" Jieli slashed down a Tang army who rushed to the front, and when he saw the white chess pieces appear in his formation, he attacked left and right, causing his subordinates to suffer a lot of casualties at once, and couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Haha, Jieli old dog, Lao Tzu see where you are running this time!" Cheng Chumo led a team of soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army, and suddenly appeared on the left flank of the Turks, and then he pounced on the left side of the Turks with his whole man and horse, and the halberd swept over, like sweeping leaves, and several Turks in front of him spat blood and collapsed to the ground.
The Turks were alarmed, and some people were trying to support on the left. Fang Yiai led the soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army to form a sharp arrow, tearing a big gap in the right flank of the Turks.
"Happy!" Fang Yiai's honest face showed a happy expression, and where the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand passed, he cut off the spears that had been stabbed one after another, and then a harrier turned over, dodged the spears shot from above, and hid under the horse, a few cold flashes, and several Turks around him broke their knees, and a lot of blood came out!
Looking at this suddenly appeared Tang army, Jieli's face turned pale. There are less than 200 of them, but they are all skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, and they are good at team combat, often four people back to back, killing or severely injuring their own subordinates with fewer enemies! When did Datang have this team?
All the Turks panicked at this time. They found that their own knives could not cut or pierce the armor worn by the other party, while the opponent's weapons were extremely sharp, sharpened like clay, and their own weapons were as if they were made of wood, and they were not vulnerable at all!
The morale of the Tang army was greatly shaken, and they pursued step by step, and together with the soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army, they killed the Turks so much that they kept retreating!
"What's going on?" Li Daozong and Cheng Yanjin gathered over and asked Baiqi. The Cloud Breaker Army was originally arranged as a surprise army, specially designed to prevent the cunning Jieli from escaping again.
A shot stabbed to death the Turks who wanted to sneak attack, and Bai Qi whispered: "Fu Yun is coming here with 10,000 people!" I have already asked Changsun Chong to lead a team and make traps on the road, slowing down Tuyuhun's march as much as possible! ”
Li Daozong and Cheng Yanjin sneered, and Cheng Yanjin said disdainfully: "Qiansui didn't fight them, and now Fu Yun still dares to come to attack my Tang Dynasty!" ”
"This account, let's talk about it when we get it done!" Li Daozong sneered, then raised his spear and attacked with the guards around him: "All the soldiers, follow me to capture Jieli alive!" ”
"Capture Jieli alive!" The soldiers shouted and charged at the Turks.
The Tang army, whose morale had greatly increased, under the leadership of Li Daozong and Cheng Yanjin, tore through Jieli's defense line and rushed straight to Jieli!
Jieli was shocked, and hurriedly sent all the guards around him: "Shoot!" Archery! ”
A round of arrows rained down, and some of the Tang troops running in front were shot by arrows, fell off their horses, and were immediately dragged back by their companions behind them.
Bai Qi, Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai led the Broken Cloud Army to shoot several rounds of crossbow arrows at the enemy's archers, and many Turks who shot arrows fell one after another, reducing the pressure on the Tang army.
"Let's go!" Seeing that the general trend had gone, Jieli turned the horse's head and led a group of his men to rush left and right in the Tang army, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses and fleeing in the direction of Liangzhou.
"Chase!" Bai Qi left some of the soldiers of the Cloud Breaker Army to give simple treatment and bandage to the now wounded Tang Army soldiers, while he led the rest of the people to quickly pursue Jieli and his remnants.
"Old man Li, when will the rest of your people arrive?" Cheng Yanjin asked Li Daozong.
"I guess it will be after dawn, they are infantry, not as fast as cavalry!" Li Daozong estimated it and said roughly. He watched the soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army skillfully bandage the wounds of the injured soldiers, or perform simple treatments, and couldn't help but admire: "Milk-milk, Cheng Lao Pifu, how can you lead such a strange army!" ”
Cheng Yanjin laughed: "Be jealous!" However, although the kid of Bai Fengqu is a little nonsense, there are some things that even the old man is eye-catching! ”
At this time, Wang Yuanqing walked over, gave a military salute, and said, "Report to Manager Li, General Cheng, the wounded have been dealt with!" ”
Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "The old man remembers you, you are the first second lieutenant of the Cloud Breaking Army!" Okay, I'm waiting for you, tell the other brothers, and set off immediately to pursue Jieli! That kid from white will definitely leave clues, you are responsible for leading the team! ”
Leaving some of the Tang soldiers to take care of the wounded, as well as waiting for the approaching Li Jing, Li Daozong and Cheng Yanjin took the remaining cavalry along their route in white chess, ready to complete the final blow against Jieli!
