Chapter 184: Departure (9)
Wu Qing led the army to the north of the city of Mayi, and at this time, Xue Rengui's 30,000 troops were already twenty miles away from the north of the city, waiting for the battle. The terrain in the north of the city is relatively flat, suitable for cavalry charge, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in order to deal with the Turks, vigorously develop cavalry, and finally destroy the Turks in one fell swoop. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Tang cavalry is not under the Turks.
For the Turks who were defeated by themselves, the Tang soldiers did not have the slightest fear, so giving up the passive defense of the city and choosing to take the initiative to attack was a good way to improve morale, which only Xue Rengui dared to do. And for other generals, in such a situation of insufficient troops, most of them choose to defend the city.
Wu Qing held a spear in his hand, and his heart was a little nervous, but his chest was full of a kind of pride, the eldest husband was alive, shouldn't he be on the battlefield, and the Jin Ge Iron Horse stepped on Helan Mountain? The Wuqing army came to the left flank of Xue Rengui's army and sent a herald to inform Xue Rengui.
At this time, the ground suddenly trembled, and then a black line in the distance slowly changed from thin to thick, and finally I saw the Turkic soldiers riding horses and galloping, the dust raised covered the sky and the sun, the sky seemed to form a clear boundary between black and white, and a killing atmosphere filled the whole wild, Wu Qing's eyes flashed with excitement, he held the spear tightly, clutched the reins of the horse, and looked at the Turkic cavalry galloping wildly.
The Turks, apparently unaware that the Tang army dared to go out of the city to fight, slowly slowed down their horses, and finally stopped two miles away, in a chaotic manner, in stark contrast to the well-disciplined and well-groomed Tang army.
At this time, a horse flew out of the Turkic army and came to the center. Grabbed the reins of the horse and shouted: "Who is the commander of the Tang Army!" β
Xue Rengui waved his horsewhip and clamped his legs. Then he flew out of the Chinese army, followed by Xue Ne and other generals. Xue Rengui Pegasus came more than two hundred steps away from the man and said: "This general Xue Rengui is also, if you are interested, you will immediately withdraw from the army, and then take the blame in the court, otherwise." As soon as the imperial army arrives, you will be wiped out! β
The Turkic general was a Ye household, so he naturally knew Xue Rengui's prestige. Slightly moved, but didn't believe it, he said: "I heard that Xue Rengui was assigned to Xiangzhou, and he died a long time ago. Do you dare to take off your helmet for me to see? β
Xue Rengui laughed. Then he took off his helmet, and saw an old man with gray hair, but his eyes burst into light. The Turk shouted, "Sure enough, it's Xue Rengui!" Then he hit the horse and ran, and the Turks behind had already heard the words "Xue Rengui", and there was a commotion.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Xue Rengui held a halberd in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" β
Wu Qing saw from a distance that Xue Rengui was actually using Fang Tian's halberd. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, all the people who used Fang Tian's halberd in history. They are all excellent in arm strength and superb martial arts, and they often outperform others with their strength.
Wu Qing beat the horse forward, turned the horse's head, raised the spear, and roared: "The soldiers of the whole army, make meritorious contributions, should be killed today!" β
For a time, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rushed to the Turks, and the Turks originally heard the word "Xue Rengui" after a big chaos, and the army was unstable, but now when the Tang cavalry rushed over, some soldiers turned their horses' heads and began to retreat, and they were in chaos for a while. Ashina looked at the chaotic Turkic warriors under the banner of the golden wolf's head, and was extremely angry, and he killed several people in a row to stabilize his position, but the Tang army had already killed.
As if with a bang, the two armies collided together and started a fierce fight!
Wu Qing took the lead, with ten guards on his side, blocking the flank attack, Wu Qing stabbed out with a shot, seven spearheads, and in an instant, the seven soldiers in front were picked up, and none of them were combined. Seeing that Wu Qing was a commander, a commander laughed loudly and rushed over, Wu Qing sneered, and pierced the throat of the commander with only one shot, and his own guards cut off the head and hung it on the saddle. Xue Rengui couldn't help but be surprised when he saw from a distance that Wu Qing's handsome banner had already entered the depths of the enemy army, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help but exclaim: "When did Wu Qing have such a superb martial art?" Xue Ne was by his side to protect his father, and he shot off a cold arrow with one shot, and said: "Wu Qing has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and now he is afraid that he has become a big man." β
Xue Rengui looked at the ruthlessness of Wu Qing's shots one by one, and there was a solemnity in his eyes.
Fan Lihua made a spear, named Fengzui Pear Spear, and when he saw Wu Qing actually killed in front of him, he couldn't help laughing: "I really envy the dead!" β
Wu Qing only kept rushing and killing in his heart, and when the right guard saw that the commander was so brave to kill the enemy, his morale was greatly boosted, and he frantically slashed at the Turks. For a time the Turks were in turmoil and began to retreat.
"General, Golden Wolf Head Banner!" One of the guards said.
Wu Qing looked at it, and sure enough, a golden wolf head flag slowly retreated ten zhang away from him. The golden wolf head flag, that means that the Jiechuan Li Khan is in the army, if you take the head of the Jieqiu Li Khan, I think you Li Zhifeng will not be my official.
At that moment, Wu Qing roared, the Turkic soldiers shouted, and they were so frightened that they got out of the way, Wu Qing smiled, pointed his spear at the sky, and went straight to the golden wolf head flag.
The Khan had a beard on his face, and his eyelids jumped in an instant, and then he saw a small general rushing towards him, and his Turkic soldiers actually dodged one after another. I couldn't help but be furious, "Block it for me!" Retreat, die! β
"Khan, that Tiger will be another coach of the other party, he is coming towards Khan." A rather obscene Han man on the side said.
The Khan's eyes burst with hatred, and he said, "Then what do you say?" β
"Khan, let's have a 'golden cicada shell'!" The lewd man smiled wickedly.
Jieqiu Li Khan is also a person who has studied the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and knows that this is a strategy in "The Art of War", so he said: "Well, according to your words." So he ordered the guards to change into their own golden armor, and then became a small soldier himself, and dropped the golden wolf head flag and retreated.
Wu Qing slaughtered all directions, killed in front of the golden wolf head flag, pulled out his long sword, cut off the golden wolf head flag with a sword, and was immediately put into the backpack by the guards. Wu Qing saw that there was a gold-armored soldier and said, "Are you a Khan of Jieqiuli?" β
The little soldier said something about it, but Wu Qing didn't understand, and Wu Qing ordered someone to tie him up behind the horse.
When the Turks saw that the golden wolf's head flag was gone, they were in a mess for a while. They retreated one after another, and the Tang army slaughtered on a large scale, and by this time it had become a one-sided trend on the battlefield.
At this time, another group of men and horses were killed from the flank, and it was Cheng Wuting, the general of the right military guard, but the Turks were cut into two sections.
The Turks saw that there were Tang troops in front and behind, and they knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, but in one hour, the surrender of the Turks reached 20,000.
Xue Rengui saw that the Turks were defeated and retreated, so he Mingjin withdrew his troops, and Wuqing had no choice but to collect his troops, and ordered the records to count the casualties and clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, more than 10,000 Turkic soldiers were killed, 20,000 were captured, Xue Rengui lost more than 2,000 troops, and Youwuwei lost 2,000.
Wu Qing couldn't help but sigh, in this era of cold weapons, it is really a thousand enemies killed and eight hundred self-losses. However, the right guard only had 20,000 horses, and he lost 2,000 at once, which also shows from a certain Cheng dΓΉ that the right guard Xiongqu soldiers are not comparable to Xue Rengui's guard. To go further, that is, Xue Rengui is a good commander of the army, and he can't compare.
For this reason, Wuqing is ready to strengthen the training of non-commissioned soldiers, and at the same time, he must also improve his military quality.
After interrogation, the golden-armored soldier was not a Khan, which disappointed Wuqing, but fortunately, he won the golden wolf head flag, which was his first battle. (To be continued......)
