readx; The situation was urgent, and they did not dare to delay more, and after slaughtering all the prisoners, all the horses retreated at full speed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 On the way to evacuate, Wei Zheng successively sent more than a dozen scouts to install multiple layers of secret posts in the direction of the Turkic cavalry's attack, so as to report the military situation to his side in time. When the army retreated to the place where the battle was fought against the Tuyuhun army, the scouts sent out reported that the Turkic cavalry was less than twenty miles away from them. After getting the tip, Wei Zheng immediately brought Wei Hong to his side, and said in a worried tone: "This place is still more than seventy miles away from Liangzhou City, and the Turkic army is less than twenty miles away from us. Our army has just experienced a big battle, and we are sleepy and tired, and once we engage the Turkic army, we have no chance of winning! ”

Wei Hong rode his horse, ran parallel to Wei Zheng, turned his head to look at the direction of the Turkic army, took a deep breath, and said: "Right now, there is only one way to work. Send 2,000 cavalry, divided into ten small groups of men and horses, to attack and disrupt the Turkic army by means of sparrow warfare, with the intention of preventing the other side from advancing! Maybe these two thousand cavalry will be more auspicious, but they can keep our main cavalry, so that they can withdraw to Liangzhou and then fight the other party! ”

Wei Zheng felt that this plan was feasible, and when the order was sent down, he sent 2,000 dead soldiers to attack and harass the Turkic army, and he must leave at the touch of a button, disrupt the enemy's position, slow down the enemy's speed, and buy time for the main cavalry. The general who led the two thousand dead soldiers was a protégé brought by Wei Zheng from the capital, full of enthusiasm and loyalty to the country. When he got this arduous task that would never return, the general was not the slightest timid, but his eyes lit up, and he said with great ambition: "Sacrifice is the greatest affirmation of my life, I don't want to be famous in history, I just want to be buried with the martyrs of the Tang Dynasty after death!" ”

This unknown general led two thousand dead soldiers, kicked the dust away, and quickly disappeared from Wei Hong's sight. Wei Hong sighed in his heart, he had been in Liangzhou for so long, and he didn't know that there were such hot-blooded people around him. Immediately rushed to Wei Zheng and asked, "Elder Ge, what is the name of this good brother?" Such people who are willing to serve the country loyally must not be allowed to die nameless! ”

The proud protégé died generously, and Wei Zheng's heart was also a ripple and reluctance, but for the sake of the overall situation, Wei Zheng could only give up his small family for everyone. Wei Zheng's tone was slightly fluctuating, he sighed, and said quietly: "This person, surnamed Wu Mingzhen, is from Taoqiu County, Yanzhou. ”

Wei Hong silently wrote down this character in his heart, and after a short sigh, the army continued to retreat in the direction of Liangzhou. A moment later, the 2,000 dead soldiers, led by Wu Zhen, fought against the 20,000 Turkic iron cavalry. Two thousand dead soldiers, divided into ten small groups, each with 200 men and horses, launched a suicidal attack on the Turkic iron cavalry with the tactics of adding fuel to the taboo of soldiers. Although the 200 dead soldiers were wiped out in an instant with each attack, it still greatly slowed down the march of the Turkic army. In the end, when Wu Zhen and the last small group of 200 dead soldiers under his command died heroically under the spears and arrows of the Turkic army with the momentum of their mantis arms, they dragged the Turkic army for an hour. By the time the Turkic army pursued at full speed again, Wei Hong and the main cavalry were already less than ten miles away from Liangzhou City.

Just when Wei Hong thought that the main cavalry was safe, he suddenly killed a cavalry from the west. The number of this cavalry was about two thousand, and it was the cavalry of the Western Turks, which could be identified by the armor of the enemy cavalry. This army of soldiers and horses are all lightly armed, and the crotch is full of Turkic horses that are good at running, and their muscles and bones are compatible, and they can go far. Like Wei Hong's thoughts, the Turks feared that Wei Hong would send dead men to block the march of the Turkic army in order to cover the retreat of the main cavalry. Therefore, as soon as possible, the Western Turks sent 2,000 cavalry to Liangzhou City to intercept the main cavalry of Liangzhou and buy time for the large forces in the rear to pursue.

These two thousand cavalry, marching fast, from Wei Hong found them, to the time they killed, it took almost a few blinks of an eye, and there was no nonsense, as soon as they arrived, they rushed to kill their own cavalry. Just like the dead soldiers blocking the main Turkic force, don't look at this only 2,000 cavalry, but after rushing into their own camp, they still stirred up chaos in their own formation. Two thousand Turkic fast cavalry, for their own cavalry corps with more than 8,000 people, is not enough to stuff their teeth, if they open a battle to meet it with all their might, they can slaughter the opponent in an instant. But now the ultimate goal is to retreat and withdraw to Liangzhou City as quickly as possible, so these two thousand Turkic fast cavalry are not fighting, and they are not fighting, and in the end, they are chasing and beating the Qian Datang Xiong soldiers. In desperation, Wei Hong yelled at Wei Zheng: "Pavilion Elder, let Cheng Chumo lead a thousand cavalry to stay, and the remaining seven thousand cavalry will be led by Pavilion Elder to retreat to Liangzhou City!" If we don't get rid of these two thousand Turkic soldiers, our entire main cavalry will be dragged down by them! ”

Although Wei Zheng knew that Wei Hong was not good at going into battle in person, but at this time, the situation was urgent, and Wei Zheng couldn't take care of it much, so he ordered Cheng Chumo and Wei Hong to stay and stop the enemy, and the rest of the main cavalry continued to retreat.

Under the 1,000 cavalry led by Wei Hong and Cheng Chumo, the main cavalry finally broke away from the 2,000 chasing troops of the Turks. After the main cavalry was far away, the two thousand Turkic fast cavalry launched a strong offensive against the one thousand cavalry led by Wei Hong and Cheng Chumo.

At this point, Wei Hong can see that the Turks have been prepared for a long time, if these two thousand fast cavalry can't hold back the main cavalry of Liangzhou, he will try his best to kill the cavalry that stayed to block the attack, and if he can kill more, Liangzhou's defense will be weak, which can be said to have a clear purpose! From this, Wei Hong discovered that the soldiers sent by Tuyuhun this time were simply cannon fodder, in order to lead the Tang Dynasty to exterminate it with all its might, and then take advantage of the exhaustion of the army in Liangzhou to launch a surprise attack and take Liangzhou City in one fell swoop! In the past, foreign forces repeatedly committed offenses, and most of them were petty fights, but this time, Wei Hong concluded that they were playing for real, and the entire Datang was in their plan! For this reason, Liangzhou City must not miss the slightest!

Seeing the other party's intentions clearly, Wei Hong immediately no longer hesitated, and shouted silently at Cheng Chu, who was fighting bravely to kill the enemy: "Don't be the enemy, fight and retreat!" With that, Wei Hong took the lead in running towards Liangzhou City under the protection of a sword from the east. Some Turkic cavalry wanted to intercept Wei Hong, but they were entangled by the Tang cavalry protecting them.

Cheng Chumo had the intention to fight the enemy to the end, but after receiving Wei Hong's order, Cheng Chumo did not dare to slack off, and even spat unwillingly, cut off a person's head with a knife, tightened the reins of the horse, and followed Wei Hong on horseback. (To be continued.) )
