In the midst of the battle formation, a series of cavalry collisions that made people's teeth sour and their scalps tingle sounded again. This was followed by the screams of the knights on both sides, the neighing of the horses, and the sound of weapons striking each other in turn.

Blood spurted, blood mist filled, because of the narrowness of the battlefield, the knights on both sides had no room to dodge, the blades of both sides were handed to the opponents almost at the same time, and human lives were consumed rapidly, for a while, I don't know how many pairs of knights, at the same time screamed and fell off the horse!

At this time, the Huang Tucai Shi archers and Shiguo archers at the head of Talas City also braved the suppression of the archers of the Anxi army and desperately splashed feather arrows on the cavalry of the Anxi coalition army.

The Anximo swordsmen marched forward in orderly steps, and in front of them were the corpses and limbs of the enemy cavalry, who, after paying a huge price, finally threw out clay pots filled with grease and set fire to four catapults. But they were also split in half by the oncoming Mo sword soldiers.

The Talas cavalry, who were still colliding with the knights of the Anxi Army in front of them, and stabbing each other with their weapons for their lives, finally broke down after seeing that the Anxi Mo sword soldiers were about to outflank them. This heavy infantry is so terrifying that it is simply specialized in restraining cavalry, especially the cavalry that has lost their speed and is crowded together.

More than 1,000 cavalrymen from the city of Talas pulled the reins desperately, turned around and ran back, swarming towards the city gates.

It's just that at this time, it's actually so easy to escape from the battle. The cavalry on both sides collided fiercely in such a narrow battlefield, and the cavalry on both sides lost their speed at this time, and it was not easy for the hedgehogs to gather together, and it was not easy to turn around, not to mention that there was a large group of Anxi cavalry behind to chase and kill.

Along the way, they were pushed and trampled by their own people; was chased and slashed by the Anxi cavalry from behind; He was shot from the flank by Anxi crossbowmen, and was caught up by Mo Dao soldiers and split in half. In the end, less than half of the 2,500 cavalry who went out to fight picked up a life and escaped back to the city!

However, the losses of the Anxi army in this battle were also much more than the losses in the previous battles. The four catapults that were burned down were nothing; The cavalry of the two sides collided with each other, and the weapons stabbed each other, causing more than 200 cavalry casualties on the side of the Anxi army; The cavalrymen who threw clay pots filled with grease also burned and wounded dozens of Mo sword soldiers.

However, even so, judging from the comparison of the total casualties on both sides, the Anxi army still won a big victory. Xi Yuanqing also accepted it when he saw it, and did not lead the troops to chase him to the city gate, nor did he take the opportunity to let the Mo Dao soldiers and the jumping soldiers continue to attack the city, but stopped the army.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the wounded of the Anxi army were carried to the rear camp for treatment, and the wounded who fought in Talas City were also screened out, and the soldiers of Dashi and the soldiers surnamed Huang were all ordered by Xi Yuanqing to cut off their heads outside the range of bows and arrows under the city. Seeing that everyone in the city bit their lips and wanted to split their eyes, they couldn't help it.

That's not all, there are even more things that make Qu Si and Huang surnamed Tuqi Shiren angry. After killing the wounded by Da Shi and Huang Tucai, Xi Yuanqing unscrupulously ordered all the prisoners and wounded of Shiguo and Shiguo to be released.

Although Qu Si knew that this was a conspiracy of the Anxi army, he still couldn't help but be angry. It is almost inevitable that Anxi will use the mouths of these captives to convey the word of Teller, and at the same time show favor to Shi Guo, and at the same time create a rift between Shi Guo and Huang surnamed Tuqishi and Da Shi.

It's as if one person tells the other two people clearly and clearly: Listen, I'm going to stir up a relationship between you, but these two people have nothing to do about it, but he can do it. This feeling is very bad, Qu Si felt a deep malice, he didn't know if Teller would really be moved by Anxijun, because even if he was moved by Anxijun, he wouldn't tell him; He couldn't stop Shi Guo from letting these captives into the city, because that would only exacerbate the conflict; He can't even make a strong move first and make a move against Shi Guo, which will only make the Anxi army take advantage.

He could only watch dryly, and at the same time secretly defensive, which was the reason for his anger and grievance.

Qu Si understands this approach, but not everyone can figure it out. Under the city of Talas, a brigade commander named Wang Xiaosan couldn't figure it out.

"General Xi, I don't understand why you want to let these Shiguo prisoners go back? Wouldn't it be nice to keep them to polish the stone eggs? ”

"It's enough to polish the stone egg yolk surnamed Tuqi Shi prisoners, there are too many, and we don't have so many troops to spy on them." Regarding this question, Xi Yuanqing pretended to smile deeply: "Listen to Xiao Hou's meaning, this is called sowing discord." ”

"Sow discord? What's the use of this? ”

"I can't say that for sure." Xi Yuanqing spared his head: "For this, Xiao Hou gave a simple example. ”

Several guards and some low-ranking officers surrounded him, and after a while, Xi Yuanqing began to speak: "It's like, there are two killers, who were sent to kill one person, and they were caught by mistake. This person wants to ask the mastermind behind the two killers, what do you say should be done? ”

"Torture!" Wang Xiaosan said.

"No, you think, killers, they must have received very strict training, and it is difficult to make them confess by torture." Xi Yuanqing shook his head and said, "The best way is to tell them that whoever confesses first will be released alive, and the other one will die, and then divide them into custody." ”

"Is that okay?" Wang Xiaosan was very skeptical.

"Of course you can, you think, two killers, as long as one person confesses, the mastermind behind the scenes will be exposed, and the other person will become meaningless whether he confesses or not, right?"

Everyone nodded their heads together.

"So, A will think, if I don't say it, but B says it, the mastermind behind the scenes will be exposed, but he will die; In the same way, B thinks the same way. So the conclusion is that they will start to distrust each other because of this premise, and then they will start to be suspicious, and then the two of them will definitely confess! ”

Everyone thought for a long time, and seemed to have figured it out a little, but Wang Xiaosan continued to ask, "But, what does this have to do with us sending the Shiguo prisoners back?" ”

Xi Yuanqing was not angry: "Are you a pig brain?" Isn't that the same? We sent a message to the king of Shiguo and stirred up their relationship. The other two sides will think, what if the king of Shiguo is moved by what we say? And the king of Shiguo will think, even if I am not moved, what if the two of them don't believe me and think that I am moved? Will they do anything to me? The other two sides will also think, will Shi Guo do something to them? Then they began to be suspicious and began to be on guard. In the end, I can't stand it and do it first. ”

"Then this is unsolved?" A lieutenant asked.

"There is a solution, just defeat us on the battlefield! But they can't beat us when they work together, and now they don't even think about guarding against each other, so there's still no solution. Xi Yuanqing said: "Now there is no need to worry about this side of Talas City, the key is the duel with the Great Food Reinforcements." ”

Wang Xiaosan said again: "This is too complicated, I just want to know, why don't we just take down Talas City?" Is it worth the trouble? You can take advantage of the situation to attack the city today. ”

Xi Yuanqing smiled and said, "This is Zhongcheng's cleverness. First, if we attack too hard, they will unite again. Second, although the strong attack can be defeated, our losses will definitely be very large, and how can we fight with the big food reinforcements; Third, if the city of Talas is captured, what if the reinforcements turn around and retreat? ”

He paused: "What Zhongcheng and Xiao Hou mean, we just want to build fortifications in advance in the southwest of Talas City, get ready, and have a decisive battle with the Great Food Reinforcements." After destroying their main force, the land in the river is at your fingertips. ”

As Xi Yuanqing said, in the next two days, in addition to using trebuchets and hard crossbows to suppress Talas City from a distance, the Anxi Army gradually slowed down its offensive against Talas City. Instead, he began to build fortifications ten miles southwest of Talas, preparing for a decisive battle with the Great Food reinforcements.

At the same time, the scouts on both sides have also been going back and forth in the past two days, and they are very happy to kill first. The Anxi army temporarily gained an advantage in the initial scout battle because of its strong bow and crossbow and morale advantage.

Two days later, the reinforcements finally converged and marched towards the city of Talas, fifteen miles away from the camp of Anxi. A decisive battle that will determine the fate of Central Asia and the Western Regions is about to break out.
