Chapter 279: Turkic Cavalry

Wei Chi Xunyu led 30,000 people, on the orders of An He, to attack the camp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, it is to test the reality of the Western Turks. The hundreds of thousands of Tang troops under Fanfeng and the remnants of He Liang, the governor of Hedong Province, converged and gathered in the periphery of Yanzhou. Seeing that the Tang army was strong, the people of Xitu took the initiative to withdraw from the front line of Yanzhou and retreat to Lingzhou. But soon, an army of tens of thousands of people was suddenly separated, and it advanced dozens of miles out of Lingzhou and set up camp, which made the Tang army somewhat confused.

With the vanguard battalion trained on Zhongnan Mountain as the backbone, Wei Chi Xunyudi's army can be regarded as an elite force with strong combat effectiveness in the Tang Army.

The military camp of the Western Turks is set up along the Delay Mountain, and is backed by the main camp of the Western Turks. Wei Chi Xunyu stopped the horse, and the 10,000-strong cavalry horse team behind him also stopped the horse one after another, raising the smoke and dust in the sky.

He looked not far ahead, smoke and dust billowed and the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, and a Turkic cavalry, led by a female general, met him. He took a long breath and roared, "Brothers, you can't disgrace the marshal, rush forward and kill them!" ”

He knew that An He asked him to lead troops to attack the camp, although it was to test the Western Turks, but this was the first battle after An He and He Liang joined forces, which was not only related to the face of the marshal, but also related to the morale of the Tang army. After all, He Liang's soldiers and horses have been defeated under the hands of the Western Turks, and the morale of the Tang soldiers has begun to slump, and if they are defeated again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wei Chi Xunyu brandished his double swords, and the Tang army rushed forward with a shout, and melee with the Turkic cavalry of the Turkic princess Gulachina. However, the combat effectiveness of this sudden cavalry was so strong that Wei Chi Xunyu was greatly shocked, not only fierce but also advanced and retreated in a certain degree, and always maintained a good formation in the face of danger, it can be seen that this Turkic female general with the troops is not a good role to deal with.

Gurachina turned her horse's head on the battlefield, raised the command flag in her hand, and the soldiers beside her blew the horns of the bull and shouted, "Sons, separate in three ways, cut them off, and scatter them!" ”

The formation of the Western Turkic cavalry suddenly changed, and it instantly changed from an overall attack to three long dragons, brandishing dazzling scimitars and rushing towards the Tang army with a wild scream. The speed was extremely fast, and it only focused on attacking the Tang army's formation and did not love to fight - caught off guard, the Tang army's formation was a little chaotic, and it was divided into three pieces by the Western Turkistan cavalry, and it lost its unified dispatch.

The whimpering horn sounded again. The formation of the Western Turkic cavalry was quickly adjusted and changed, and the troops were divided into three ways to surround the Tang Legion that had been cut into three pieces. In this way, the Tang army fought separately, and because the men and horses were too concentrated, the cavalry could not be used, and soon, it showed defeat, and it would not be long before the 10,000 Tang army would be eaten up by the Xitu disgusting people.

An He looked up to the sky, and rockets were rising from the direction of Delay Mountain. His face changed, he sighed, and waved his hand, "Soldiers, follow this commander to rescue General Chi Xunyu." ”

This is the signal that he made an appointment with Wei Chi Xunyu. If the attack on the battalion was successful, no rockets would be released, otherwise, rockets would be continuously issued to call for help. In fact, he was too careless, he originally thought that the Western Turkic front camp of tens of thousands of people, let Wei Chi follow Yu to lead, 10,000 people to attack all of a sudden, test the truth and the truth, it should not be a big problem, but as a result - while galloping in the direction of the delay mountain, while secretly cursing himself, he was really dizzy! Underestimating the enemy before the battle is a taboo for soldiers!

Fortunately, after Wei Chi Xunyu set off, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he sent a 10,000-strong cavalry to wait on the way in advance, just in case. Otherwise, if Wei Chi follows Yu, 10,000 people will be finished.

Gulachinaa laughed wildly, "Sons, wave your scimitars and let the Tang army see the power of my Western Turkic cavalry!" ”

Suddenly, on the back side, another Tang army shouted to cover up. Gulakaina's face was full of excitement, "Okay, let's kill him today!" ”

As soon as Wei Chi Xunyu saw that An He and the reinforcements had arrived, he raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, the marshal is here to rescue us, kill it, and join the marshal!" ”

The Tang sergeant was in great spirits, and after a fierce rush and killing, he finally fought his way out of the siege of the Xitu Lian people, rushed out, and gradually converged. And at this time, Anhe's reinforcements had also rushed to the front of the battle.

An He roared angrily, and raised his spear, "Charge me!" ”

In the distance, a fierce female general in the Western Turkic cavalry with a long axe in her hand rushed over with a group of men and horses, and in an instant she arrived in front of An He, waving the long axe, and several Tang soldiers who met her were either dismounted or beheaded. An He was secretly frightened, where did she get this fierce and brave little girl? He drew his spear and went up to meet it.

As soon as the barrel of the gun and the handle of the axe were handed over, An He suddenly felt a big shock in his hand, such a great force, his tiger's mouth was actually cracked by the huge impact force, and a trace of blood oozed out.

Gulachina laughed wildly, "Are you the Marshal of the Tang Dynasty?" Come, watch General Ben kill you, throw away your armor! ”

An He's anger surged, and with a swing of his spear, he met it again.

After delaying the mountain, suddenly the smoke and dust were filled, and it seemed that the large battalion of the Western Turks sent reinforcements, and Captain Chi Xunyu exclaimed, "Marshal, the reinforcements of the Western Turks have arrived, and our army should be withdrawn!" ”

Anhe swung Gulachina's axe, turned around and waved his hand, gritted his teeth, turned the horse's head, and galloped, "Withdraw!" ”

The Tang army immediately changed from the rear team to the front team, and retreated while fighting.

Gulakaina shouted, "Don't chase it, the big battalion didn't send troops, that's just a suspicious formation set up by me."

The Western Turk cavalry laughed wildly and bluffed in pursuit, An He turned his head in annoyance, looked at the swaggering Western Turkic cavalry and the fierce female general who annoyed herself and made her suffer a little, angrily stopped the horse, turned back to take the arrow and draw the bow, and a feather feather with a whooshing whistle pierced the chest of a Western Turkic cavalryman!

This surprise attack of the Tang army was basically a failure.

An He understood that the combat effectiveness of the Western Turkic army was far superior to that of Tibet, and it could even be said that it was not on the same level.

Moreover, the Western Turks were not only warlike and brave, but also very ambitious. Ashina Helu infiltrated the Central Plains and worked hard for more than ten years, which can be seen.

After retreating to the Yanzhou camp, he immediately ordered Su Dingfang to lead 50,000 troops and go around to Huaiyuan through Xia Gang, that is, the back road of the Western Turks: while Cheng Zhijie led Zhiwan and forced the key villages of Longzhou and Lingzhou, echoing Su Dingfang's army from afar, like two sharp knives. At the same time, he ordered Ouyang Feiyu to lead the headquarters of the Jie Volunteer Army to attack Liangzhou all the way, and make a posture of attacking the nest of the Western Turks. And he and He Liang led the sword more than 10,000 Chinese troops, step by step, and slowly advanced to Lingzhou. In this way, the Tang army will form a three-way encirclement of Lingzhou.

Anhe was not in a hurry to attack, he was going to fight a protracted war with the Western Turks. He believed that the Western Turks were coming from afar, the battle line was very long, the grain, grass and supplies were much more difficult than those of the Tang army, and hundreds of thousands of troops were consumed in Lingzhou for a long time, which was not a good thing for the Western Turks. Sooner or later, he will take the initiative to attack and give up on the dead guard. Because, they can't afford it. (To be continued.) )
