Some readers asked to attach some maps, the map I have myself, but not the electronic version, now I found a "West of Longyou Road" on the Internet, for the heyday of the Tang Dynasty Longyou Road, due to the problem of scaling, "Talas", "Julan City" The place name is not very clear, but you can see that today's five Central Asian countries, most of Afghanistan and Iran, Pakistan are included, all belong to the jurisdiction of the Tang Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

This version of the map was compiled by Mr. Tan Qixiang, which is relatively conservative, and there is also a Japanese painting that estimates the western frontier of the Tang Dynasty to include most of Iran, reaching the Persian Gulf, almost half of Asia. Personally, I feel that Mr. Tan Qixiang's painting is a little more conservative, and the Japanese one seems to be exaggerated, of course, because the Japanese have done a better job of Chinese historiography than us in modern times, so maybe people's estimates are correct (^_^)

Now you can see on the map that there are two border lakes in the west and north of Longyou Road, and the westernmost one is the largest one in the Aral Sea, which was called Huoxunhai at that time, and the crescent-shaped lake in the north of the map is the Yibo Sea mentioned in the text, that is, Lake Balkhash. There is a tadpole-shaped desert to the southwest of the Isokai Sea, which is often referred to in the current update. The cities of Talas and Kulan are located just south of the Shattered Leaf Desert, and the Talas River should have dried up in modern times.

This map is an administrative map, only rivers, no mountains, the straight line distance between Kulan City and Barasagon does not seem to be far, in fact, there is a large desert and a Kulan mountain range in the middle, with the traffic conditions at that time, the road is very difficult to walk. If you are interested, you can take a relatively clear topographic map of Central Asia to compare this administrative map of the western part of the Tang Dynasty, or you can see the geographical and traffic conditions at that time.

If you have friends who can find a better map, welcome to provide it.

This article does not take place in the Tang Dynasty, so some administrative names have also changed, and in Central Asia, even cities may move greatly according to changes in natural conditions.

Finally, I wish all the officials a happy reading of "Tang Qi". I will continue to work hard to drop. ^_^

The following is transferred to the main text.

————————————————————————————

"Win!"

At the mouth of the valley, Zhang Mai said.

This eight-fold mountain is a trap set by the Tang Army, and it is a trick of "pseudo-encirclement and real reinforcement".

The Tang army quickly attacked from the jaw and galloped all the way to the vicinity of the Babei Mountain, where Yang Yi saw that the terrain was suitable for ambush, so he built a plan to try to lure the enemy out of the city instead of attacking Julan at night.

Zhang Mai listened to his opinion, he judged that the Kulan City side probably did not know about Ali, so he set a trap and arranged for Ma Xiaochun to bring a blood letter into the city to "ask for help".

"As long as the news of Ali's defeat by us hasn't reached Kulan City, Nabagadang's chances are great!"

At this time, the Hui people did not know whether there were "giant robbers" in their hearts, and even if there were, in their opinion, it was only a stream of robbers who had come out of this belt, and the response was basically carried out according to the idea of officers and soldiers dealing with robbers, and did not regard the "giant robbers" in the mouths of the two herdsmen as an equal force to the Qarakhanid Dynasty.

Zhang Mai was overjoyed, at this time he was ready, let the Yingyang battalion disguise itself as the besieged Ali troops to be "trapped" on the mountain, and let the Xiaocai battalion and Zhenwu battalion besiege them on the mountain.

Look at the troops from the Kulan City side, the two battalions of Long Xiang and Leopard Tao who were ambushed at the mouth of the valley and let them go, when the Hui people rushed up the mountain, the two battalions of Zhenwu and Xiaocai also fought and retreated, Guo Shiyong and An Shoujing were both experienced generals, although the team retreated and did not cause chaos, and in the darkness Baga did not notice that this group of "robbers" had the ability to retreat without chaos - generally speaking, this is a trained regular army that can only have.

The Hui army was about to meet the friendly troops who rushed down the mountain, and their morale was high, and they didn't want the "friendly army" to suddenly "defect", like a flash flood, rushing down, the main general Baga was killed on the spot, and died at the spearhead of Yang Yi, and many Hui soldiers were still shouting: "Mistake, mistake!" We are our own people! ”

But the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Battalion regard them as their own people! Rushing down all the way, slashing knives and spears, such as cutting meat, like stabbing melons, and at the same time Zhenwu and Xiaocai surrounded the two wings, and without a single meal, the organization of the 800 cavalry collapsed.

The five hundred private soldiers behind were all taken aback: "What's the matter?" ”

It was not clear in the darkness, but the retreating Hui soldiers were backing against the private soldiers of Julan City, and although Meng You couldn't figure out the situation, he immediately decided: "Retreat!" Withdraw! It's a trap! ”

However, this is not a well-trained army, but a rabble, some are strong small merchants, some are caravan guards, although they are all strong and powerful, but the organization is very poor, as soon as they hear the word "retreat", they rush back with a coax, where is there any order at all?

Seeing the sand and dust rolling in, Zhang Mai, who was lying in ambush at the mouth of the valley, shouted: "It's here! Intercept them for me! ”

Guo Luo pulled out the horizontal knife and marched in first, the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion lined up and crossed the valley mouth, and Yang Dingbang put away the cavalry and lined up behind the line of the Longxiang battalion - the Tang army had won at this time, and such a formation was no longer the pursuit of another victory, but a double net, to call back the Su people, even if there was a fish that slipped out of the net and escaped the first layer, Yang Dingbang would also catch it in the second layer.

Torches are lit on the mountain walls of Taniguchi, which, together with the last rays of the setting sun, provide a faint light to the area. As at the foot of Zhao Mountain, all the soldiers of the Longxiang Battalion wore a red silk tied to their heads, which was very eye-catching even in the darkness.

The soldiers of the Longxiang battalion have been trained in the Dengxia Valley after the actual combat of Zhaoshan and the journey of thousands of miles, and the actual combat of Zhaoshan has given them strong self-confidence and sufficient morale, and the thousand-mile journey from Zhaoshan to Dengxia Valley has climbed snow-capped mountains, crossed grasslands, and crossed the desert, and has sharpened everyone's willpower to be extremely strong, but when it comes to the strict and neat organization, this unit is barely qualified. Blocking the valley mouth and counterattacking the defeated troops requires relatively strict organization and rich experience, and these two just happen to be the two weaker rings of the Longxiang battalion.

Guo Luo saw it in his eyes, thinking that if there were three hundred Mo sword teams in hand, not to mention a few hundred of the routs rushing from the opposite side, even if it was two thousand or three thousand people, it would be okay to intercept them all, but he was not completely sure that the Longxiang battalion would carry out this mission, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, there is Uncle Dingbang behind, even if we can't block all of them here, there is still a guarantee ticket for the Leopard Tao Camp behind." ”

At this time, Meng You and the others had already rushed closer, Zhang Mai stopped riding and looked at Yang Dingbang, beside him were two guards fire, and in his hand was the red satin blood spear - since Guo Luo used this weapon to kill the majesty, this has become one of the symbols of "Zhang Envoy".

"I didn't fight again...... Xiao Shi muttered and complained: "I thought it was a good thing to follow Envoy Zhang, who knows...... Alas! ”

His sigh was so heavy, it seemed that he deliberately wanted Zhang Mai to hear it. Murong Yang glared at him, and then heard the sound of killing in Gukou roaring, Guo Luo gave an order, and shouted "kill" in unison!

The private soldiers in Julan City panicked when they heard this, and they didn't know who shouted: "There is a roadblock in front, and there are pursuers in the back, are we going to die here?" ”

This sentence was timid, but someone behind him shouted: "I want to go home, I want to go home-" and then rushed over.

The Tang army rode lightly, naturally it was impossible to wear many fences, knife carts, tiger rejection and other equipment, and the six hundred cavalry could not block the valley mouth tightly. Kill! But when the rout rushed in front of them to pass through the gap between the cavalry and the cavalry, they were a little sluggish in their reaction.

Yang Dingbang looked at it from behind, frowning secretly, he looked at the two cavalry riding side by side, and saw that there were routs fleeing on the left and right, due to the lack of tacit understanding, one to the left and one to the right, but although they stopped the rout on the left and right, their original position revealed a boss's flaw. Not only these two cavalrymen, but the other soldiers in the battalion also reacted in their own way.

When the enemy rushes in, between the lightning and flint of hand-to-hand combat, there is no effort to even think about what to do, and only rely on reaction to deal with it, so experience will be so valuable.

The organization of the Longxiang battalion is inherently insufficient, and the personal martial arts of the soldiers are also flawed, Yang Dingbang saw that a recruit from the Longxiang battalion had obviously blocked a Hui knight, but he didn't hit it with a knife, and he let the knight slip away!

Yang Dingbang sneered lightly, and he didn't need to command, not even his team was commanding, a fire chief pointed at the finger, four horses galloped out of the leopard Tao camp, two before and two behind, the front two horses rushed to the Hui knight who slipped through the net with a pincer attack, the spear stood out, the left knight held the spear with his left hand, and the knight on the right held the spear with his right hand.

"These two guys are cowards." The moment the three horsemen crossed their necks, the knight thought, and then he felt a tremor all over his body, and the mount hissed and fell to his knees with his front feet and his hips bent, and lifted him off the horse.

It turned out that the two knights of the Leopard Tao Battalion held their spears, and the right hand of the knight on the left and the left hand of the knight on the right respectively grabbed one end of a rope, and the gray and black rope in the darkness was very inconspicuous, not to mention that this was between the wars, and it was even more difficult to find. When the three horsemen were hedging, they dodged the enemy's big sword on the back of the horse, and at the same time, the rope was tightened, and the horses on both sides galloped against each other. The horseman's mount was stumbling in the knee with a rope, and with a neigh, the horse fell, and the man fell into the saddle!

This trick has a name, called Shuangfei riding a tripping horse. But it only takes two well-trained and well-coordinated knights to do it.

Two knights of the Leopard Battalion followed, one of whom held out his spear to restrain the knight, and the other held the horse that was struggling to get back on its feet, and followed the four horsemen back to the team.

This passage is a long story, in fact, the whole scene happened in a few seconds, although the four soldiers of the Leopard Tao Battalion were outnumbered and prepared for battle, but they won very neatly! It's so easy! The comrades of the leopard Tao camp in the back all applauded!

On the other hand, the Longxiang battalion, although Guo Luo had made various arrangements before the battle, and the team leader and the fire commander also told him, but when it came to the battle, he was still in a hurry, some missed the enemy, some seven or eight cavalry besieged one, and some fell into the siege alone, and the Hui rout side was also fighting separately, some saw the Longxiang battalion running back as soon as they were frightened, some continued to rush forward, and some had to find another way to dodge, hundreds of people were in different directions, just like the river torrent suddenly forcibly paused and turned into a pool of turbulent water and whirlpool.

It was supposed to be an interception battle without any accidents, but at this time it turned into a chaotic battle, Guo Luo was secretly annoyed in it, not to mention that he wanted to achieve the goal of stopping all the enemies, if he didn't handle it well, the defense line of the Longxiang battalion might even be broken!

Yang Dingbang said with a smile: "The Longxiang Battalion in the first battle of Zhaoshan has made a great reputation, and now it seems that it is not too ...... Hey...... It is made by the times. ”

He originally wanted to say "but so", but suddenly remembered that Zhang Mai was not far away, so he changed his words and said "created by the times", this comment is not bad, the Tang army in the night battle of Zhaoshan was attacked, and it was disrupted in a chaotic manner, so its shortcomings were covered up and its strengths had to be played as much as possible, but now this shape shì, but the strengths have not been brought into play, and the weaknesses have been exposed.

The cavalry of the Leopard Tao battalion advanced and retreated, but when they saw that there were Hui Hui soldiers who escaped through the net, they galloped out and grabbed it, and then returned to the team, and every time there were soldiers of the Leopard Tao Battalion, they cheered in unison, at first it was just a few people cheering, but later it was hundreds of people cheering together, and there were even a few laughs after the color - the laughter was naturally given to the Long Xiang battalion.

Even in the most united armies, battalion-to-battalion, team-to-team, and fire-to-fire are often unconvinced by each other, and this kind of fighting spirit will generally not be suppressed by good generals, because if this kind of competitive relationship deteriorates, it will certainly lead to disaster, but if the commander himself has enough ability to make good use of it and keep it within a benign range, this kind of competitive relationship may at any time become a trigger to detonate the morale of the army.

In the night battle of Zhaoshan, the two battalions of Yingyang and Leopard Tao fought the hardest, but the predecessor of the Longxiang battalion, the Wolf Tooth Battalion, was the most meritorious. I was not convinced, but at this time, seeing that Long Xiangying was ugly, where is there any reason not to laugh? The knights of the Leopard Tao Battalion, who galloped in and out, did their best to show their ability to capture Hu to the fullest, and they only had to say to the Long Xiang Battalion: "New Ding, cavalry interception should do this, learn more!" ”

Xiao Shi and the others saw that their hearts were on fire, and even Murong Yang shouted at Zhang Mai: "Special envoy! ”

This Longxiang battalion is Zhang Mai's guard battalion, seeing that his own children were compared, Zhang Mai's face naturally couldn't hang up, he held the spear, and said to Xiaoshi: "Don't you think there is no fight around me?" Let's go, kill me now! ”

The little stone was overjoyed, and the two guards did not hesitate, and shouted together: "Command!" Kill! "———————————————————————— judges, don't forget to vote. ^_^
