He Li has always been known for his calmness and prudence on the battlefield, as long as the army he leads, he will send elite scouts all the time, and it is precisely because of this that when the army that rushed to capture Yazdegerd III was still twenty miles away from the village and town, it was discovered by the scouts of the Tang army, and quickly reported to the knowledge of Qi He Li.

As a result, when He Li and Xue Wanche heard the news, they were all excited. The Great Cannibal only brought 10,000 troops to capture Yazdegerd III, and they didn't know that they had 40,000 troops here, which gave them a chance to annihilate the other side, and they could also take advantage of this confrontation to estimate the true strength of the Great Cannibal.

At the moment, he ordered Xue Wanche to take 20,000 troops to meet the enemy, and the 40,000 troops they brought this time were all cavalry, of which only 10,000 were Han Chinese, and the other 30,000 were all Turkic people, Tiele people and other steppe Hu people, this Hu and Han mixed cavalry was the elite of the Tang army, and many people participated in the battle to destroy the Western Turks that year, and they had very rich combat experience.

Xue Wanche came to the outside of the village and town with 20,000 people, although he had a bad temperament, but he was very good at using troops, even if his strength was superior to the other party now, Xue Wanche still chose to ambush, and divided the 20,000 people into several teams to ambush them, intending to catch the other party off guard in one fell swoop after the Great Food Army entered their ambush circle.

This army did not know about the existence of the Tang army, and they received a report that Yazdegerd III was in a small village and town in front, so they immediately rushed over with the army, and in order to capture the last monarch of Persia in one fell swoop, the Persian generals also brought all the troops under their command, but unfortunately they plunged headlong into the encirclement prepared for them by Xue Wanche.

The current Dashi army is mainly based on light cavalry. Weapons were bows and spears, and they were usually armed with a large short sword and a Persian sword. As for the Arab scimitar, which became famous in later generations, because of production and habits. There were no large-scale equipped cavalry, and only in some special teams of large food cavalry could the shadow of the scimitar be seen. However, the cavalry that came to hunt down Yazdegard III this time was obviously an ordinary cavalry, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were mainly spears and bows, and several squads also used Persian swords.

Xue Wanche saw this unsuspecting Great Food Cavalry enter his encirclement, and immediately several cavalry troops were exhausted, intending to kill the other party by surprise. The Great Cannibal did not expect to be ambushed, so he seemed a little flustered at first, but the Great Cannibal General seemed to be very talented. A few loud shouts silenced the team, and then began to defend and counterattack under his command.

However, this Persian cavalry is not the elite opponent of the 20,000 Tang Army in terms of numbers, morale, and equipment, plus Xue Wanche's ambush is very clever, he can raise the horse speed of his cavalry, and when he rushes in front of the big food cavalry, he just reaches the maximum speed, which makes the cavalry use horsepower, and the strength of the charge is also extremely fierce.

The Great Food Cavalry had just come into contact with the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. Immediately, it showed a disgraceful color, flesh and blood flew on the battlefield, and the cavalry of Da Shi was soon killed by the sneak attack of the Tang army. And seeing this situation, Xue Wanche was also excited. Commanding several cavalry to weave through the opponent's military formation, intending to cut this cavalry into several sections, and then eat them one by one.

However, he ignored the talent of the opposing cavalry generals. I saw the other party's big food general wearing leather armor and a bearded face shouting a few times. Immediately gathered the cavalry around him that had not yet been dispersed into a small team, and then he took this cavalry squad as the main team. Charging around the enemy, gathering the scattered ranks, and soon gathering thousands of troops.

Seeing that this Great Food General was so talented, Xue Wanche was also a little surprised, and immediately ordered someone to wave the Order Banner and mobilize a cavalry team of 3,000 people to rush towards the Great Food General, preparing to break up the team that the other party had gathered with great difficulty.

However, what Xue Wanche didn't expect was that the general of the Great Food was also a decisive person, seeing that his subordinates had gathered thousands of cavalry, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the road where they came, which was originally the most heavily defended place in the encirclement, but now the cavalry in ambush had rushed up, so the defense there had become a little weak.

The general of the Great Food may also have seen this, so he commanded the thousands of cavalry under his command to attack a little, but as for the defeat of the army behind him that was killed by other Tang troops, he didn't care at all. It was precisely under the resolute attitude of the other party that the Tang army, which was defending in the encirclement, finally could not withstand the repeated attacks of thousands of cannibal cavalry, and as a result, they tore a big hole.

Seeing that the encirclement was finally broken, the big food general shouted and rushed out with the thousands of cavalry under his command, but as for the thousands of people in the encirclement, he couldn't care about it. Although this method of surviving with a broken arm is somewhat cruel, it is undoubtedly an extremely clever decision when surrounded by superior Tang troops.

Even Xue Wanche was annoyed that he didn't wipe out the other party, but he also admired the Great Food General very much, after all, if he was in that situation, he would make the same choice. And after the war, Xue Wanche only learned the name of that general - Hou Zhifa? Ye Man.

Maybe Hou planting? Yeman is known to very few people in later generations, but for the Persians, it is famous, because a few years ago, it was this man who led tens of thousands of cannibal troops to defeat the last 150,000 Persian army, and since then, the Persians have never organized a decent resistance, and even Yazdegerd III had to start a life of fugitive.

It was that battle that made Hou Zhifa? Ye Man became a nightmare in the hearts of the Persians, and Da Shi also knew how to take advantage of this advantage, and soon appointed Hou Zhifa? Ye Man is the commander-in-chief, responsible for exterminating the remaining resistance of Persia, but he didn't expect that this time the other party would personally go out to capture Yazdegerd III, but unfortunately in the end he let the other party escape, otherwise if he can be caught, then it will definitely make the Persians greatly excited, and it will be easier for Persia to recover in the future.

However, although this battle is a bit regrettable, but in general it is a big victory. The more than 10,000 people brought by Ye Man were killed and wounded, 3,000 were killed, 4,000 were captured, and no more than 4,000 escaped in the end, and the other party was still planted by Hou? Ye Man was the main general, so as soon as this news came out, not only did Yazdegerd III lift his spirits, but even some Persians who were already desperate were also excited, and they also had some hope for the restoration of the country.

But the Hou planting method that returned after a big defeat? Ye Man also quickly found out the truth, when he found out that it was the army of the Tang Dynasty that attacked him, his face suddenly became very solemn, as the commander-in-chief of the Persian Theater, he naturally knew that the Tang Dynasty had just destroyed the powerful Western Turks a few years ago, and now the entire Western Regions had fallen into the control of the Tang Dynasty.

And according to some businessmen who have been to the Tang Dynasty, the real core area of the Tang Dynasty is in the Central Plains, where it is extremely rich, full of silk and porcelain, and it is also extremely powerful in the military.

However, if you don't take the initiative to provoke, it doesn't mean that Da Shi will be afraid of Datang, not to mention that this time the other party ambushed them first, so Hou Zhifa? While reporting the Tang Dynasty's intervention in Persia, Ye Man gathered the Great Food Soldiers and Horses scattered throughout Persia, and soon gathered a large number of cavalry to prepare for a decisive battle with the Tang army.

And taking advantage of the Hou planting method? During this gap in Yeman's gathering of the army, Yazdegerd III, who saw the hope of recovering the country, finally cheered up, and with the support of Chebi Holi, began to vigorously gather the old troops that had been scattered.

Speaking of Persia after all, it is an ancient country with a thousand-year-old heritage, although Persia has been beaten very badly by the Great Food in recent years, and most of the land has been occupied, but there are still many people who cherish their homeland, and there is the support of the Tang Dynasty, so in a short period of time, more than 100,000 people gathered under the command of Yazdegerd III, and the number of troops reached more than 20,000 people.

In addition, the army of Qibi He Li was not idle during this time, and the Tang army was divided into several groups to attack in all directions, taking advantage of the dispersion of the Great Eclipse forces, to recapture a large number of Persian homelands, and finally pushed the battle line to the line of Nehavand before stopping. It is worth mentioning that the original Persian army of 150,000 people was here, and the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Great Food were defeated by less, so that they lost the ability to resist, so Nehavand was a shameful and sad place for the Persians.

However, after the army of Khibi Heli advanced to the front line of Nehavand, the supply line of the mine chief in the rear no longer allowed them to advance any further, plus the Hou Zhifa? Ye Man also gathered the army at this time, a total of 80,000 cavalry, had already set out for the front line of Nehavand, and before the two armies faced each other, a great battle was about to break out.

This war, known as the Second Nehavand Campaign, was indeed as tragic as everyone imagined at the beginning, the two great empires that rose almost at the same time began a battle of iron and blood on the battlefield of Central Asia, and after only three days of the war, tens of thousands of people had fallen on the battlefield, in general, the equipment and training of the Tang Dynasty were better, but the Great Food Army had the upper hand in terms of numbers and momentum, so the war was carried out fiercely, and the ground for miles was almost all soaked with blood.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that just when the war was about to enter the climax and divide the winner, the big food side suddenly took the initiative to retreat and put forward a request for peace talks, which surprised both the Tang army and the Persians.

After seeing the combat power of the Great Food Army, he also knew that even if he could win this war, he would probably win a miserable victory, so he finally agreed to the other party's request for peace talks.

However, just when the two countries had just begun peace talks, he saw a man in the barracks. It was this that finally made him know why Da Shi was in such a hurry to choose peace talks. (To be continued......)
