Xiao Qu was so anxious that he couldn't wait to fly directly to the city of Talas, thirty miles southeast of the city of Talas, he was indeed facing a big battle.

As early as four days ago, Baye He Li had already brought the news of the Anxi army's large-scale attack back to Talas City, and the Zhengwang of Shiguo, Teller, immediately sent people to ask for help from the Huang Tuqi who was entrenched in Broken Leaf City, and at the same time mobilized the entire city of soldiers and civilians to make preparations before the battle.

Two days earlier, they had received an urgent military information of 600 li from Hepo Silin, informing them that Gao Xianzhi's main force was about to arrive, informing them of the detailed military situation of the Anxi army, and warning Said Ben Humet not to underestimate the enemy and to be cautious in the battle.

But Said bin Humet was very proud and conceited, and he completely disagreed with the orders of the Persian and the advice of the Stone King Teller to stand by and help. According to the military information they had, Gao Xianzhi's total strength this time was only 34,000, 6,000 on the southern front, and only 28,000 for attacking Talas City. It is just the same as the strength on his side, but his side has been waiting for work and recuperating for so many days; But Gao Xianzhi was exhausted all the way. You should take advantage of the other party's unstable foothold and give them a head-on blow first!

So he decided to ignore the order of Hebo Silin and prepared to ambush Gao Xianzhi on the way. Especially when he learned that Gao Xianzhi's vanguard was only 12,000 light cavalry, and the 16,000 baggage troops and 2,000 civilians were still more than 40 miles behind, he was even more convinced of this idea.

Sayyid bin Humed dared to do this, on the one hand, out of absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of the 8,000 Khorasan warriors under his command. Secondly, it is also because the more than 10,000 troops of the Shi Kingdom are Turkic warriors. After so many days of getting along, after observing, Sayyid bin Humet also thinks that their combat effectiveness is not bad, although they are not as good as the Khorasan religious warriors, but they are much stronger than the Zhaowu Nine ** team, not to mention that there are 30,000 cavalry surnamed Huang Tushi cavalry coming soon.

In the minds of Said Ben Humet, this battle has already been won on their side. What he was thinking about was no longer how to defeat Gao Xianzhi, but how to grab merit and how to get more loot and military merit. If the 30,000 cavalry surnamed Huang and the Khorasan army sent by him and Po Silin arrived, everyone would defeat Gao Xianzhi together, and there would not be much loot and military merit in his hands.

In fact, it is also strange that the information of the 6,000-strong Anxi division has been defeated several times, and the loss of the Khorasan religious warriors is almost 10,000, while the loss of the other side is no more than 1,000. Sayyid ben Humed must have carried out his orders to the letter, and stood by for help, but how could such a shameful thing be written on parchment!

In this way, despite the strong opposition of the stone king Teller, Sayyid bin Humed led 8,000 Khorasan warriors and 7,000 elites of the Shi Kingdom out of the city for thirty miles, preparing to annihilate the vanguard of Gao Xianzhi.

The topography of Talas, there is a Talas River in the east of the city, after crossing the river, the east of Talas City is a stone mountain, there is an oasis in the northeast and southeast, the northeast oasis is connected to the Broken Leaf River, and the Broken Leaf River is more than 500 miles to the east, which is the Broken Leaf City; This oasis to the southeast, near the east side of the Talas River, has a forest. Sayyid bin Humed was hiding in this grove with 8,000 Khorasan cavalry, and the prince of Shi, Naju Che Bishi, led 7,000 Shiguo cavalry to line up in the oasis steppe.

What Said Ben Humed did not expect was that the Anxi vanguard saw the 7,000 Shiguo cavalry from a distance, and did not choose to attack, nor did they send scouts to explore the road, but began to prepare for battle five or six miles away. This made him very puzzled, could it be that his ambush was discovered, but from such a distance, the other party did not send scouts to explore the way, how did he find out?

Of course, he would not have imagined that when he poked his head out of the woods, the other party's commander, the famous Gao Xianzhi, was standing on a high platform on horseback at this moment, holding a combat artifact that he could never imagine-binoculars, and was closely watching his every move.

"Herald, pass my order, let the prince of Naju Che Shi send three thousand cavalry to attack and lure the enemy over!"

A herald took the order, and not long after, three thousand Turkic cavalry began to march slowly. Na Juche Bishi knew the strength of the Anxi army, but did not really listen to Hou Meide's head-long collision, but controlled the speed, stopped and rectified when he was three miles away, and sent more than 30 scouts to sweep forward the enemy outpost to probe the enemy.

The Anxi army was not ambiguous, and immediately sent twice as many scouts to suppress it. The two scouts are shooting back and forth in front of the formation. Both sides are elite scouts, and Shiguo uses bows on this side, most of them are eight-bucket riding bows, and only a few of them are brave and powerful with one-stone hard bows.

On the Anxi army's side, half of them use bows and half crossbows, and the strength of the bow is similar on both sides, but the single-bow crossbow used by the Anxi scouts has one stone and six buckets. In this way, the Anxi scouts can strike the Shiguo scouts before they come into range. After a few rounds, the scouts of the Stone Kingdom were almost completely killed and wounded, and fled back to their main camp in a hurry.

At a distance of two or three miles, it is already possible to see the enemy's formation and equipment very clearly. More than half of the cavalry of the Anxi army dismounted and fought on foot, with the crossbowmen in the front, the Mo sword soldiers and the jumping soldiers in the center, the light cavalry on both wings were in strict formation, and a small number of cavalry on the rear wing wandered to protect. For such a well-organized military formation, Na Juche Shi really didn't have the courage to order the elite of the 3,000 Stone Kingdom to charge and lure the enemy.

He knew that the crossbowmen of the Anxi Army were powerful, and the strength of the bow was not strong, and before they could rush into the range, they would be shot into a sieve by these five thousand crossbowmen. He remembered that before this, the Turgish had fought many times with the Anxi Army and the Beiting Army, but they were all defeated by this tactic.

"Withdraw!"

Na Ju Che Bishi made the most correct decision, and the elite cavalry of the Three Thousand Stone Kingdom turned their horses and retreated.

Syyid bin Humet was furious, abandoned the ambush, and came out of the grove with eight thousand Khorasan cavalry.

"Why don't you attack?"

"The Anxi army has already lined up, they have five thousand crossbowmen, and if I rush up with such a few cavalry, I will send them to death, and I can't lure the enemy at all!"

"You are just afraid of death, like the waste of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms!"

"You don't know how powerful the Anxi army's bow and crossbow are, I suggest retreating to the city immediately and waiting for reinforcements to ......"

"Enough, cowardly Turks! I will let you know that it is Anxi's bow and crossbow that is powerful, and it is also our Khorasan scimitar and fast horse! ”

"Please think twice, we have fought with the Anxi army ......"

"Execute the order!" Said Ben Humet once again rudely interrupted the chacha nose Shi: "This time, I will lead the elite army of Khorasan to attack the Anxi army, and your cavalry will entangle the cavalry on both wings, and when I defeat the Anxi army, I will fight you in front and back!" ”
