Chapter 131: Cavalry Siege

At this time there was a war without a trumpet

The Tang army crossed the broken desert, and all the water sources between the city and the desert had been destroyed, but because the Tang army was lightly armed, the consumption was not much, and the water brought from the other side of the desert was enough to consume for a while. (Eight net Baidu search)

Iron hooves clattered outside the city.

A few years ago, it was Satuk who followed this route to attack the Anxi Tang army trapped in the city of Kulan.

Today, the offensive and defensive side has become the Tang army, and the Hui people are more hesitant than the Tang army of the year.

At that time, the Tang army was a fierce enemy of the Hui in the front, and Saman was unpredictable in the back and would attack at any time. However, at that time, the Tang army still had a certain strategic advantage, and the major forces in the world had not had time to react to this newly rising young tiger, which made Zhang Mai in the ascendant comfortable in the watchful eyes of the foreign powers.

And today's Satuk, but like the sunset, Zhang Mai and him have not fought once, this time when winter is approaching, he actually sent a surprise army to attack Kulan City, Shu Yibar knew that Zhang Mai was going to be killed

"Alas......"

Shuibar let out a long sigh, suddenly feeling a little unlucky that he had been arranged.

But if you don't do it yourself, who else can afford to do it?

The main force and the elite have already gone to the west, Satuk not only has to deal with Saman, but also has to fight for the leadership of the entire rebel army, the mountain immortals and the Uighurs were in alliance before, but as soon as Satuk enters the river area, the shape will be different, and the agent of the "mountain eternals" will not take the leadership of the rebels lightly.

The ideal outcome would be an agreement between Satuq and the agent, with Satuq as the leader of the secular government and the army, and the agent as the religious leader - but this is almost impossible to achieve peacefully, and how can the agent, if he has instigated such a great riot, really stop at the spiritual leader?

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Satuk to go lightly, and the remnants of the cavalry of the Hui were almost all gone, and the men and horses of the brigades and horses were also migrated, leaving behind not only insufficient troops, but also the vast majority of them were not strong troops. Under such circumstances, if they want to effectively delay the Tiance Tang Army to gain time for the battle situation in the west, there are only two or three people under the command of Satuke. And among these two or three, Ista was in front of the Western Front, and only Ibar and Hushagar were left.

In the end, Satuk chose Shuibar.

"After all, it's still a relative." When he saw the dust and smoke at the top of the city, he couldn't help but think to himself.

The urgency of the Hui people echoed in the head of the city.

"It's coming so fast."

It had only been half a day since he saw the wolf smoke, and the Tang army had actually reached such a rapid marching speed, which surprised Shuibar very much.

Now that the intelligence system of the Hui people has been completely damaged, and the internal deployment of the Tang Army has become confused, there are not many useful clues at all. Shuibar couldn't help but think to himself, "Is it Shi Ba, or is it that Guo Wei?" It won't be Zhang Mai or Guo Luo. ”

The soldiers and civilians stationed near Kulan City raised their heads when they heard the sound of the alarm and looked to the northeast, and on the desert horizon, a force appeared without hurry.

Just seeing this speed, the older ones among the Hui people knew that this army was not easy to mess with

It was a long march from the sentry post to here, and the reason why it seemed fast was not that the cavalry was galloping all the way - that would have wasted unnecessary bodies. Sometimes wars are not fought by outbreak, but by a peaceful oppression.

What Xu Congshi did was to change horses all the way, trotting all the way here at a speed that horses and camels could bear, and what could shock Shuibar with great speed was that this army was almost unarmed

His magic arrow can turn the Hui who try to intercept them along the way into frightened birds, and almost all the Hui encounters where the feather arrow flies will flee

Today's Tiance Tang Army is already in a terrible state that can disintegrate the enemy's fighting spirit by relying on its name

――――――――

Hui Hui, who was inside and outside the city of Julan City, looked at Xu Congshi who was approaching with some panic. There are not many cavalry in this army, Xu Congshi and Yang Xin's troops have a total of 2,000 people, but when they come here, the vanguard of his department is less than 700, and the others are behind

There were not many of them, but when Ibar took out the clairvoyant mirror that Satuk had left him, one of the two clairlooms he had obtained outside Luntai City, Satuk gave it to him before leaving, saying, "Now you need it more than I do." ”

Through the clairvoyant mirror, Shuibar saw that the leader was a young man of the Han family who was covered in dust but could not hide his heroism, but he did not recognize it, so he asked a veteran who had experienced the Battle of Luntai to help him.

"Ah yes...... It's the arrow king of the Tang Army," the veteran exclaimed after taking one look

Arrow King

Xu Congshi

Shuyibar heard that the reason why this person lost the battle of Luntai, the arrow king Xu Congshi and the gun king Yang Xin undoubtedly played a key role, after the victory of Luntai, the names of these two people have spread all over the Western Regions with the footprints of the Han soldiers and the Hui soldiers, for these two names, the Han men are admired, and the Hui people are a deep fear

"The Tang Army sent the elite, and it was the elite of the elite"

As soon as Shuibar heard that it was Xu Congshi, he almost did not hesitate, and immediately decided to escape.

Behind Kulan City, there is still a Tang army stationed at the original site of the Tang Dynasty between Talas and Kulan City, and Kulan City is definitely not a place that can be held under such a shape, not to mention that Shuyibar is short of materials and troops, so he never wanted to hold on.

But he was still thinking about resisting for a while, but after hearing that it was Xu Congshi, he immediately changed his mind

"Go" He made a decision and walked down the city.

――――――――――

"General, shall we wait for General Yang in the back?"

Xu Congshi's lieutenant asked.

Xu Congshi looked at it, and at this time, there were still six or seven thousand people gathered around Julan City.

In the past month or so, Shuibar has drawn out all the men who can be drawn around, with his own 500 headquarters troops as the core, with 2,000 regular troops as the backbone, and the herdsmen and people have been incorporated into the ranks, in addition to the Erji, there are more than 6,700 troops on the side of Kulan City.

Relying on the east of the Erji, the northeast relying on the broken desert, under the deployment of Shuyibar, these six or seven thousand people have been in a relatively stable state in the entire Kulan City area, Shuyibar has seventy percent of the certainty that it can make the Tang army unable to see the flaw, and at the same time, if the Tang army really braves the cold wind to test the army, then Shuyibar also thinks that he still has the ability to resist the enemy.

In the past few years, Kulan City has been used as a bridgehead in the direction of the Talas region, whether it is the Anxi Tang Army or Satuk, after entering the city and its ancillary facilities will be repaired and reinforced, in a few years, although the Talas area is extremely poor, but the construction work of Kulan City has never been heard, this time the Satu Kexi expedition took away a lot of things, but this battle is offensive and not defensive, and too cumbersome things can not be taken away, so the garrison of the head of the city of Kulan City is basically complete.

It was precisely these relatively intact fortifications, coupled with the danger of the mountain city of Erji and the shelter of the broken desert, that allowed the soldiers and civilians left behind to find some reasons for peace of mind

Xu Congshi's eyesight is very strong, not to mention that he also has a clairvoyant mirror now-that was equipped for him by Zhang Mai when he was still a Zhonglang general--after a glance, he estimated the strength of the troops here.

He had only 700 light cavalry at hand, and light cavalry could not capture a city with complete defenses - this was common knowledge, and most of the soldiers had learned it as early as the Guzang military camp.

What's more, Xu Congshi was already a little tired when he arrived here, even he was like this, and it was even more conceivable that the soldiers who were not as good as him could be imagined.

However, Xu Congshi issued an unreasonable order at this time: "Wait? Why wait for the credit to be robbed? We crossed the desert and traveled thousands of miles to share the credit with others? ”

He cried out, and hundreds of people could hear him clearly.

Xu Congshi was followed by young soldiers, and when they heard it, they shouted one after another: "No, of course not."

Yes, of course not

Originally, everyone was still a little tired, but at this moment, they felt that it would be a shame if they didn't build an inch after a thousand miles of Mercedes-Benz

But to attack the city with light cavalry?

The adjutant general was a little stunned, but his main general had already raised his "Dingtian Mountain"

"Come forward" Xu Congshi shouted: "Under the iron hooves of my Han man, it doesn't matter if it's a city or a camp, it's all leveled for me."

"Yes, yes, yes"

Seven hundred people rushed up, and in the midst of the shouts in unison, it was the brave men of the cavalry and archery units who went up first

The three hundred men, all wearing mink hats, trampled forward, and hundreds of people rushed towards Kulan City in a dispersed formation in units of ten, all of them already had bows in their hands, and they were only waiting to enter the range of arrows

"Let the Hui Lu see the archery skills of my Han boy"

The queue of the Arrow King Army was already amazingly powerful, and the victory in the battle of Luntai made the hearts of these hot-blooded men full of pride, and the tiredness of their bodies was still within the tolerable range, but their fighting spirit had risen to the extreme

Although there were only 700 people, the impact had the potential to sweep

The man of the Han family is majestic

The ground shook, but what shook even more were the heartstrings of the Hui people

Only 700 people dare to attack, then there must be reinforcements behind, this must be the vanguard

Yes, it must be so

The onslaught of the Don Army is near, closer, closer and closer

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps......

Wow -

As if an appointment had been made, thousands of people inside and outside the city suddenly let out a strange scream, and the group of thousands of people collapsed violently as if the sand tower on the beach had been hit by the waves

Obviously, there are still dozens of paces away, and the Tang Army's cavalry archers have not yet started, but the Hui people are scattered in all directions, and many people trample on each other, and many have died before they can take the blade

"Hahaha-"

Over there, Tang Jun laughed

Their laughter was cold and proud, and together with the thunderous sound of iron hooves, they used their voices to defeat Hui Hui

"Whip Rush"

The Tang army was rushing to the southwest, while the Hui people were retreating to the southwest, and the Tang army was faster, but the hounds, although strong, could not outrun the fleeing rabbits

The Tang army maintained a distance of thirty paces between the Hui army, but one side was chasing and the other was on the run

Two or three thousand people outside the city, who had intended to meet the enemy, quickly rushed to the city gate and poured into the city

Shoibar was gone, along with the core of the remaining army

The rest of the people heard that the Tang Arrow King had arrived, and they were all as chaotic as mice under a cat's paws

Treading clouds and flying lightning swept through the sand like a white electric current, Xu Congshi violently bit the tail of the defeated soldiers

The defeated soldiers rushed into the city gate like a wave, and Xu Congshi rushed into the city gate like a tide

The city has become an ant nest that has been roasted by fire, and before Xu Congshi rushed to the city gate, they still had a chance to close the city gate, but who cares about it at this time?

Treading Yunfeidian stepped on the stairs and rushed to the head of the city, Xu Congshi pulled the horse at the highest place in the city, and the people stood up when they stepped on the clouds

"Look at General Xu's capture of the city"

"It's done, it's done"

"Into the city, into the city"

On the contrary, the Hui people were doubly frightened, and the pursuit of the Tang army just now made the Hui army outside the city also rush to flee into the city, and at this time, when they saw that Xu Congshi was already standing at the head of the city, a thought flashed in everyone's hearts - "It's over"

A strange and magnificent scene appeared—the Hui people had just poured into the city like a tidal wave, and at this moment they immediately poured out of the other gates like a tidal wave, like a flood that had burst into a reservoir lake, and the lake could not hold on and collapsed in its entirety, so that the water flowed in all directions

The Hui soldiers' hearts were already in turmoil, and even if Shuibar was there at this time, he might not be able to effectively control him—not to mention that Shuibar didn't know where he had fled

When the Tang army's 700 light cavalry rushed into the city, most of the Hui people fled outside the city, and those who stayed in the city had no will to fight at all

There was basically no fierce battle in this siege battle, stepping on the city wall, Xu Congshi sat on his horse steadily, looking at the prostrate Hui soldiers and civilians who were asking for surrender, and suddenly let out a sneer

It was noon, and in winter it was the best time of the day, but Xu Congshi saw the dusk of a barbaric and powerful clan under the white sunshine.

"General Yang is here, General Yang is here"

The reinforcements finally arrived, but when Yang Xin arrived, the Arrow King Army had basically pacified Kulan City, and the Silver Spear Army was a little surprised by the Arrow King's army's record - they originally thought that even if the Arrow King Army could win the field battle, it would not be so easy to obtain Kulan City.

After hearing about the "siege", Yang Xin said to Xu Congshi: "I can be hummed by you, Kulan City is what I gave you, don't rob me from Talas."
