On the real battlefield, there are very few generals of the two armies who come out to chirp crookedly, firstly, the distance between the two armies must be very far, and secondly, the officials do not dare to easily emerge as a live target, and are shot into hedgehogs by stray arrows.

And this Turkic cavalry of only 5,000 people, it is a fool's dream to attack the nearly 9,000 light cavalry of the Great Dou Army, if it is replaced by an army that has been sparse for a long time, it may indeed not be able to withstand the impact of the cavalry, but this Great Dou Army is the trump card of Geshuhan, and it really does not take the Turks seriously.

This is the purpose of Umiden, once the Turks attack, they will follow the plan to "retreat" and lead the Tang army into the gorge, he believes that the young horse will definitely be hit, and the number of these 5,000 cavalry is indeed quite a lot, and it has always been a common problem for expeditionary troops to rush easily, and this performance will definitely be effective.

Even if the Tang army is not successful, it will definitely pass through the canyon, and the canyon has long been set up to rub the trap, which is specially used to encircle and suppress the cavalry, after all, it is impossible for the Tang army to make a detour to the west, this hill is blocked layer by layer, and it is difficult to climb the hill to the sky.

This Ikono Canyon is the source of Umidon's self-confidence, and it is also by virtue of this risk that he can develop his power in this decade, but Umidon still used the strategy of luring the enemy in, after all, if the Tang army is in the plan, there will be no defense, and the damage to the cavalry at that time is the greatest, if the Tang army has defense, dredge the stronghold, but it only takes time, but Umidon does not have to worry, even if the Tang army crosses the canyon, waiting for them is still a rout.

A horn sounded, five thousand Turks took the lead in attacking, Xu Chen immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, Cheng Shouli received the order, ordered the Great Dou Army to turn around and retreat three hundred meters, the order was forbidden, the sergeants of the Great Dou Army were ordered to retreat immediately, this vanguard force is cavalry, the mobile surname is naturally very strong, and it will take a while to retreat three hundred meters.

The army is the most taboo to retreat, and this Turkic cavalry has obviously rushed up, the momentum is in full swing, retreating is tantamount to losing the opportunity, the cavalry confrontation needs to run long enough to charge the impact, this Xu Chen does not understand.

The Turkic cavalry lined up, after the horn sounded, came to the dust, most of the nomads were rude, such a big momentum, it was completely roared, waving a big knife and shouting, the leader in charge of the five thousand cavalry was Ashinake's subordinates, his character this time was to lure the enemy deeper, what to do on the battlefield was to feign defeat and retreat, leading the Tang army into the canyon.

So the Turkic cavalry stretched for hundreds of meters in this line, and he had no intention of fighting seriously, but in his heart, he felt that his five thousand cavalry was the pride of the Turks.

When the leader gave the order to attack, led 5,000 cavalry, and charged the Tang army, the leader was dumbfounded, and the Tang army retreated! This immediately increased his confidence, such a cavalry to the cavalry, retreating before the start of the fight is tantamount to death, the advantage of fighting is too obvious, the leader is very excited, shouting in his throat, the Turkic cavalry did not stop for a moment, and rushed straight over.

After the big fighting army quickly retreated back for three hundred meters, and then re-lined up, Xu Chen gave an order, four hundred light cavalry turned over and dismounted, and the logistics troops immediately swarmed forward, when the Turkic cavalry was still one hundred meters away from the array, the cavalry in the front row gave up a long formation, and at this moment six hundred light cavalry incarnated six hundred archers, and Xu Chen's bow battalion officially entered the battle.

Six hundred archers, with two hundred people as a column, within a distance of one hundred meters from the Turks, Xu Chen gave an order to shoot the middle position of the Turkic cavalry, and for a time the arrows were dripping, and the two hundred archers retreated after shooting, and the two hundred archers who were prepared in the back immediately shot in formation, which was practiced in the big camp, and the procedure was not complicated.

The arrow feathers did not stop at all, Cheng Shouli immediately ordered the two wings to attack, and the two hundred archers in the middle kept shooting, only to see the Turkic cavalry in the center fell in turn, the arrow feathers were too dense, it was difficult to live in a low grade, most of the Turkic soldiers were animal skin armor, but in order to highlight the mobile surname of the cavalry, they were only worn on the upper body, and could only protect the chest and waist, after all, the Turks were not so rich, and they could not be fully armed.

Such a sudden, and very dense arrow feathers made the Turkic cavalry who rushed up dumbfounded, and such a rush, the habitual surname is very large, facing the arrow feathers, even if there is armor to protect it, but the war horse is also shot into a hedgehog, the arrow feathers do not stop, the Turkic cavalry in the middle of the front is crying bitterly, the war horses have fallen to the ground, and it is difficult to clean up for a while.

Xu Chen stood in the center of the Great Dou Army, watching the bow and arrow battalion really play a role, and he was also pleasantly surprised, the effect was still relatively significant, firstly, the Turkic equipment was poor, so dense to the terrifying arrow feathers, it was indeed difficult to resist, and secondly, the Tang army was well equipped, Xu Chen pulled this bow and arrow battalion by his side, and the natural supply was rich, and the arrow feathers kept shooting, and the war horse must have become a hedgehog, and the third point was that it was difficult for the Turks to turn around in a formation that rushed up, and they could only be killed as hedgehogs in the face of the arrow feathers.

The Turks who originally rushed over, after being fired in the middle by the bow and arrow battalion, the formation was suddenly dispersed, such a long front, the Tang army on both wings had already been dispatched, and they were fighting with it, due to the rain of arrows in the middle, the Turkic cavalry on both sides did not dare to make up for it easily, so the cavalry in the middle has been scattered.

After Cheng Shouli saw that the situation was like this, after consulting Xu Chen, he ordered to stop the arrow feathers, and the whole army was attacking, the Turks in the middle were already very weak, and the soldiers of the Great Dou Army rushed straight on their horses, which was like a bamboo, and they directly rushed from the middle part to cooperate with the two wings to fight.

In the war of cavalry against cavalry, the formation is undoubtedly important, and in regular warfare, the cavalry is used to break up the enemy's formation and cooperate with the infantry to kill the formation, and because of the encounter with this Turk, the infantry obviously did not follow, which became a hard fight between the cavalry.

This rushed away from the middle, with the strangulation of the two wings, the Turkic cavalry had been separated, the excitement and cooperation were gone, and the combat effectiveness naturally plummeted, but the battle between the cavalry was too tragic, and the war horses were so cruel to the war horses, but once the encirclement was formed, the Turkic five thousand cavalry had no combat effectiveness.

Cheng Shouli immediately turned over and rode into the battlefield brandishing the Mo knife, Xu Chen had to scold, for fear that this tiger would lose his surname, but this Cheng Shouli is an ordinary person, rushing into the camp with a knife one by one, killing the rise, screaming while killing, and the posture also wants to catch a Turkic person for a while.

At this time, the leader saw that this was a feigned defeat and retreat, and he was directly beaten, and hurriedly ordered a retreat, once the cavalry retreated, it would be miserable, and the Tang army chased the Turkic ass and slashed indiscriminately, and the situation on the field was already clear.

Xu Chen was supervising the battle in the rear, and he didn't want to go into battle with the soldiers to kill the enemy. This damn battlefield is not long-sighted, so many people fight in groups, it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries, but he is also a hot-blooded man, just watching Cheng Shouli kill the pleasure, I also want to try the pleasure of killing the enemy on the battlefield in person, but just about to rein the reins of the horse, but I saw that the Turks were retreating, and it took less than half an hour to kill, obviously the Turks couldn't stand it.

Due to the role of the bow battalion in this attack, the Tang army's casualties were not large, and the situation was like a bamboo, and the soul of the Turks was scattered.

In this half-hour war, the Turks lost nearly 2,000 people, most of whom were killed by stray arrows, and the remaining Turks retreated under the order of the leader, and broke through with all their might after the Great Dou Army was about to form an encirclement.

The leader didn't expect that this was a battle to lure the enemy into the depths but it became true, he originally pretended to be defeated, but now he was slashed indiscriminately, but fortunately, at this time, nearly two thousand cavalry were gathered, and they retreated to the canyon with all their might, such a realistic performance, then the Tang army will definitely chase after them, and when they get to the canyon, they will be miserable!

Just at the moment when the Turks were retreating with all their might, a group of Tang troops came out from the direction of the canyon and directly blocked the way.

These 3,000 light cavalry were the Praetorian Guards led by Fang Yi, who came from the east side of the canyon, and Xu Chen ordered the retreat to try to hold back the Turks as much as possible, in order to give Fang Yi more time to come and block the attack.

Although this grassland is empty and endless, there is still a slope, and Fang Yi is outflanked from the side, directly blocking the retreat of this cavalry in the gap between the battles of the Turkic Great Fighting Army.

The front and back attacked, there was no way to retreat, the big fighting army chased fiercely, and the Longwu army led by Fang Yi also rushed up and beat hard, 10,000 against 2,000, without any pressure.

The battle of annihilation lasted another half an hour, and the 5,000 cavalry ran away with less than 100 people, while the Tang army suffered only 400 casualties, which can be described as a great victory.

However, there was a group of Turkic soldiers hiding in the canyon, but they did not come out to rescue, because they had been waiting for the Tang army to enter, and they were unsuspected, and they waited for three days, but the cavalry that went out to lure the enemy deep actually annihilated the Tang army, and the Tang army made it clear that they did not want to enter the canyon.

Since then, the first battle has been victorious, and the morale has been greatly boosted.

When Wang Sixun's follow-up troops rushed over, there was only the part of cleaning the battlefield, and the first merit was to push the Great Dou Army, and the Longwu Army spared no effort to fight bravely, all of which were written down.

The great eunuch Bian Lingcheng will put all the credit on Xu Chen, Xu Chen did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but camped not far from the canyon, preparing to spend the night, and all kinds of forces in the expedition will also break out in the silence here, it seems that the Tang army is demoralized because of a victory, but some people are suspicious, hoping that the Tang army will be defeated, some people are dissent, and they also hope that the Tang army will be defeated, and some people are secretly killing, and it will not be so easy to meet Xu Yuma......
