Luo Shixin and Cheng Yanjin only came to the Hulu River with more than ten guards.

The Hulu River is the first major tributary of the Wei River, which was called Wating Water and Longshui in ancient times. It is named because the riverbed is narrow and tortuous, and resembles a "gourd".

Luo Shixin and Cheng Yanjin walked down along the upper reaches of the Hulu River, remembering the situation of the river embankment and where there are bridges in their minds.

Cheng Yanjin was bored, put the big plate axe on his shoulder, and said, "The five thousand cavalry of the Turks have already rushed to Dapan Mountain first?" Su Xiaozi was also a little too slow, like a snail, one step late, and he had just crossed the Hulu River. Now it's still a little bit away from Dapan Mountain! Jieli is still a little level, and the marching intention makes him see through it. ”

"Don't worry, it's time to deal with it." Luo Shixin said indifferently.

The Tianjie army received special care from Li Yuan and was well-equipped, including 2,500 cavalry.

Luo Shixin explored the terrain and only Cheng Cheng led more than ten guards to take the lead, and the speed was a little faster than Su Dingfang. Soon after they arrived at the Hulu River, they received the news that the Turkic vanguard of 5,000 horsemen had arrived at Dapan Mountain first.

Located in the northwest of Dunzhou, Dapan Mountain is a stretch of mountain range that completely separates the northland, and its geographical location echoes that of Juzhou, and to the west of Dunzhou is a vast river called Luoshui. This Luoshui is not the river near Luoyang, but originates from Caoliang Mountain at the southern foot of Baiyu Mountain, and flows into the Wei River from northwest to southeast.

The Luoshui River is wide and turbulent, making it impossible to cross forcibly.

The Turks came so fast, their mobility was a little, and the key was to avoid a fight. Ignore the cities and fortress defenses they encounter. Bypass it directly. Historically, the Turkic soldiers came to Chang'an, and it was also the result of Jieli Khan taking advantage of the influence of the Xuanwumen Revolution to bypass a Qiē city of soldiers.

And Dapan Mountain and Luoshui plus Juzhou. It happened to be a pocket, and if the Turks wanted to continue southward, they had to pass through this road from the foot of the Dapan Mountain and the Luoshui River, or they had to go around the Dapan Mountain, or cross the Luoshui and bypass the Dunzhou.

Upper Luoshui. The current is turbulent, and people and horses cannot cross, so they must use boats. The Turks penetrated deep into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Since there is no such thing as a boat, it is even more unrealistic to bypass the Dapan Mountain, and it becomes imperative to pass through the Dapan Mountain and Luoshui through the Shanzhou.

The Turks had 150,000, while Luo Shixin had only 20,000. I want to fight the strong with the weak. It is particularly important to choose a favorable terrain that makes it impossible for the Turkic army to be lined up and give full play to their numerical advantage.

Looking at the southward line, only the place where Dapan Mountain and Luoshui intersect has this convenience.

It was Luo Shixin who immediately transferred Su Dingfang to Dapan Mountain, and asked the Assassin of Dunzhou to cooperate with him to repair the fortifications.

According to Luo Shixin's calculations, Jieli did not know their movements. Although the distance is that the Turks are closer, but in the case of unpreparedness, it is still very possible for Su Dingfang to rush to Dapan Mountain first. But when more than a dozen of them rushed to the Hulu River. I heard that Jieli had sent his vanguard general, Ashdewu, to lead 5,000 Turkic cavalry to approach Dapan Mountain.

With the advantage of being close to the road, we will take the first step to gain a foothold in Dapan Mountain.

Luo Shixin was a little surprised at first. But thinking of having Luo Yi, a traitor, constantly ventilating the news, it was a matter of course.

Cheng Yanjin was excited, his eyes were shining, and he had an expression of intent to show his skills. followed Luo Shixin to look left and right, but he couldn't see any fame, he was already idle, and he found that there was a battle to fight, and he was already absent-minded.

Luo Shixin didn't care about letting the Turks take the lead, as if he hadn't heard it, and the sentence "It's time to deal with it" was over.

"Is there 5,000 on the other side?" Cheng Yanjin reminded seriously.

"If you want to go, brother, let's go! I'm looking, and when you've repelled the Turks, I'm almost there. "Luo Shixinyan doesn't know what Cheng Yanjin thinks, and he doesn't tease him, let him go, and it would be good if there was one more person to help Su Dingfang.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't stay stunned for a long time, and laughed: "Then the old brother will leave first." Without any hesitation, the man rushed out as soon as he clamped the horse's belly. He rode alone, and his speed was far better than Su Dingfang's. In the vicinity of the city of Juzhou, the troops caught up.

At this time, Su Dingfang had already learned of the Turkic movements, but he didn't care, and still rushed to Dapan Mountain at an even speed.

"Su boy!" Cheng Yanjin screamed and came closer.

Su Dingfang reined in his war horse and hugged his fists on the horse to greet: "General Cheng, where is the general?" ”

"I'm busy! Little brother, let me support you. Cheng Yanjin likes to put gold on his face, and most of the words that come out of his mouth are beneficial to him, and he looks back and forth: "According to your speed, I'm afraid I will rush to Dapan Mountain in the afternoon...... Wouldn't you still know that the Turkic one called Ashina or Ashid or something, has already rushed to Dapan Mountain first, if you go directly like this, won't you want to collide with him? ”

"It's Ashdewu who didn't sip!" Su Dingfang's grasp of Turkic intelligence is much more accurate and effective than Cheng Yanjin.

In response to Cheng Yanjin's question, Su Dingfang said lightly: "Da almost let me camp at the foot of Dapan Mountain, the Turks have taken the lead, then destroy them and grab them back." ”

In a simple sentence, he immediately went to Cheng Yanjin's heart, and let out a burst of deafening laughter: "The little brother's subordinates are different, and they are right." Destroy them and take them back. Su boy, I'll listen to your orders today, and I'll do whatever you want Lao Cheng to do. ”

Su Dingfang said confidently: "There is no need to do anything, in this case, no tactics are the best tactics, just kill them directly, and crush them with strength." ”

**********

After a long day and night, Ashdewu finally arrived on the banks of the Luoshui River near Dapan Mountain before the arrival of the Tang army.

I chose the flattest place, close to the water and grass, to set up camp.

The tactics of the Turks were different from those of the Central Plains, and the way of camping was naturally different.

The people of the Central Plains marched and fought, and were accustomed to relying on the advantages of equipment and being good at defense. Most of the camps are important places that are both offensive and defensive. The Turkic warfare mostly relied on the convenience of war horses, and the camp naturally took water and grass first, followed by the flat land that was convenient for cavalry to gallop and fight.

This camp was properly arranged, and Ashdewu immediately ordered his soldiers to adjust and feed the war horse mounts.

They galloped all the way from the grassland, and now they went deep into the realm of the Tang Dynasty, and there was very little time to rest up and down. Originally, he was completely resting near Jincheng, but because of Luo Shixin's northward journey, he had to rush to Dapan Mountain first, so as not to fall into the hands of Luo Shixin.

Along the way, Ashdewu didn't feel a little uncomfortable sitting down on the good horse. His good horses are still like this, and the horses below are even more unbearable.

Feeding on weeds for a long time, there is a long period of body overdraft, which is extremely dangerous for war horses.

Prairie people are inseparable from horses, and their love for horses is extraordinary.

Ashdewu didn't wait to wash and feed his foal and feed it.

After doing this qiē, Ashdewu didn't sip before stopping to rest.

He himself is like this, and so are the five thousand soldiers under his command, who first settle their horses and then come to rest.

After the busy camp gradually quieted down, Ashdewu didn't get the news that the 2,500 cavalry of the Tang Army had approached within two miles and were rushing to kill non-stop.

"What?" Ashdewu didn't hear the news, and the whole person was stunned.

A mere 2,050 cavalry, dare to rush his 5,000 Turkic cavalry?

But Ashdewu didn't react quickly, they rushed from the grassland, a distance of a thousand miles before and after, and they had not yet been well rested. At the end of the strong crossbow, he rushed nearly 100 miles to seize the advantage of the Dapan Mountain. Although it had a slight advantage over the Tang army in numbers, the soldiers were tired and tired, and the outcome was really unknown.

Ashdewu had fought with the Han people for more than ten years, and had never encountered such a resolute attack on the Han army, and in the face of their 5,000 men, he did not hesitate at all, and directly faced the battle, without pause, after marching for a hundred miles.

"No matter what, you can only fight first......" Ashdewu didn't sip his teeth and burst into conclusions, his eyes showed miscalculated anger, and the ferocity of a wolf, and roared: "Don't rest, get up to meet the enemy." ”

Ashdewu didn't sip and just lined up in formation, the billowing smoke and dust on the opposite side had already come into view, the heavy and chaotic sound of the horse's hooves on the ground, and the wheezing and snorting of the war horse were getting closer and closer.

Looking at the murderous military formation opposite, Ashdewu didn't sip and blew the horn of attack.

He wants to let this group of damned Central Plains Han people know that horse warfare is the world of their Turks, and when their Turkic children learn to ride horses, the sons of the Central Plains Han people are still playing with urine and mud!

The two vanguard forces approached like lightning, and in an instant they were a stone's throw away. One stone's throw is the distance where the Turks are most lethal, and their power is also vividly displayed at this distance.

Countless arrows and flying stones flew like locusts!

The sharp sound of breaking the sky, the whistling of flying stones, was instantaneous.

The more than 100 cavalry of the Tianjie Army who rushed to the front instantly broke their tendons or were hit by several arrows, and some of them fell off their horses without even saying a word.

One person lost more than 100 people......

The ownerless war horses are scurrying around; The wounded war horse hissed and fell, lifting the warrior on his back to the ground, and the front lineup collapsed instantly!

Mounted archery is always the strongest weapon of the grassland people!

Ashdewu didn't have time to applaud before he could slurp, but when he saw the body of his companion who had already crossed by the Tang army on the opposite side, his speed became faster and faster......

The dense and terrifying arrow not only did not stop the Tang army's advance, but instead aroused their ferocity. One by one, according to the training to dodge bows and arrows in advance, they raised the wide bracer on their left arm to protect their heads and faces, and accelerated their charge.

The Turks, who were famous for their horse archery, did not even have time to shoot a second arrow at this time......

The cavalry of the Tianjie Army had already collided with the Turkic cavalry under the leadership of Su Dingfang and Cheng Yanjin. (To be continued......)
