Zhang Mai snatched the binoculars from the little stone, and when he looked at it, he saw the smoke and dust billowing on the west road and shouted: "Quickly inform the soldiers outside the city, don't make a mistake!" ”
Liu An next to him said: "Envoy rest assured, Murong Chunhua is good at listening to the earth. He's a man and he's alert, and most of the time he's been discovered. ”
Then he heard Xiaoshi say: "Yes, the people of the Eagle Yang Camp are hiding behind the dirt mountain and waving the flag to us." ”
Liu An borrowed a telescope from Zhang Mai, held it with his right hand, and kept bending his fingers with his left hand, Zhang Mai asked him what he was doing, he didn't answer, bent for a while, and then said: "The enemy is not marching fast, just trotting, it seems that they haven't found anything wrong here, we have a chance in this battle!" ”
Zhang Mai issued an order, and the whole city was on guard, but the surface had to be tight inside and loose outside. Xiaoshi said, "I'll go down and buy vegetables." Then he slipped down, pretending to buy vegetables, but in fact, it was to convey Zhang Mai's order, and a group of young soldiers from the Longxiang Battalion each touched the hidden swords, but their faces were as if nothing had happened. Their experience in the battle is not bad, so they are nervous.
Liu An saw it and said with a smile: "These boys are very serious, in fact, they are so far away, even if they see it, they can only see a rough idea, where can they pay attention to the expression on their faces?" ”
Zhang Mai said: "It's better for everyone to work seriously than to be slack and careless." These kids from the Tibetan Monument Valley are very good, simple enough, and positive enough. He also smiled on his face, because he knew that the soldiers around him must be paying attention to him, and the more relaxed he looked, the more relieved the generals would be, but his heart was full of thoughts and thoughts: "If this battle is fought well, he will definitely be able to capture the generals of the Hui Dynasty, and if he can rob one or two high-ranking generals, then he is expected to obtain information from the Talas side!" Decisions and future destinations will depend on this battle. Gotta win, gotta win! ”
At this time, the Hui army was a little closer, and Liu Antong had already estimated the strength of the other party's strength through the telescope, and said with great joy: "There are only about 1,200 people!" Then he looked his telescope farther behind the army and said, "Win, win!" There is no army behind the other party, and we have more than 70% chance of winning! ”
"Seventy percent? Where else did the three percent go? ”
Liu An was about to answer, but at this time, because the telescope could vaguely see the general equipment of the front-line knights of the Hui army, and saw that it was not a heavy cavalry, he said: "It's not seven, it's eighty!" I just thought that if the other side was a heavy cavalry that had been on the battlefield for a long time, and the command was appropriate when encountering the enemy, then it would be possible to ensure that the formation was not chaotic, and even to break through strongly, turning defeat into victory - but this possibility was not very good in the first place, and now it can be ruled out. ”
"Is that still a two-percent variable?"
"There are still two percent, one is worried that the other party's general is a good general who is not born, and when he walks nearby and sees the subtle changes in the grass and trees, he suddenly feels that he will not step into our encirclement."
This so-called "sudden feeling", sounds very mysterious, but it is actually existing, can be regarded as the intuition cultivated by first-rate military strategists on the battlefield, sometimes the ambush has been clearly arranged properly, there is no flaw at all, but as the prey of the army leader can be at the most dangerous moment to restrain the horse, the general asked him why he retreated, but he may not be able to say, just smelled the danger, refused to advance.
"We have a ninety percent chance of winning! The other party did not find out. Liu An said. Because at this time, the enemy forward had already stepped into the two mountains, and at this time they could see each other without a telescope, and Zhang Mai and Liu An were already lying behind the battlement wall, so as not to be discovered by the enemy.
Zhang Mai asked, "What is the last variable?" ”
Liu An said: "Although the other party is not heavily armored and heavy-cavalry, and the general may not be a peerless figure, if the whole army is in danger after a hundred battles, such an iron army may struggle to break through even if it is suddenly attacked." Of course, in addition to the elite soldiers, the generals must also be good generals. ”
Inside and outside the city, the chin suddenly became silent, making the sound of horses' hooves between the two mountains even louder. Xiao Shi clenched the horizontal knife, bent over to Zhang Mai's side, and asked, "Special envoy, let's also prepare to fight, right?" There was nervousness and excitement in his voice, this kid was not yet twenty years old, but he seemed to have become addicted to fighting.
Zhang Mai said: "I hope we don't need us." ”
If even the Longxiang battalion had to be dispatched, it would be a failure in the ambush outside the city, which was certainly not what Zhang Mai hoped for.
"You have to win!" Xiaoshi grinded his teeth like a little mouse, "At most, I can't take credit this time, and I must win." ”
Zhang Mai couldn't help laughing, but suddenly there was a loud killing outside the city, and the second half of the laughter was drowned out, Zhang Mai was overjoyed, straightened up, and saw that more than half of the Hui army had crossed the two mountains, An Shoujing led the crossbowmen suddenly appeared, aiming at the back half of the Hui army below: "Shoot!" ”
The Hui general was taken aback, and when he was about to turn back, Yang Yi had flashed out from behind the slope, Yang Dingbang followed him with a leopard Tao battalion, and nine hundred people quickly inserted into the middle of the Hui army, and the arrows on the hillside were like rain, and dozens of Hui cavalry had fallen from their horses dotted with each other, and the Hui army was suddenly attacked, and the formation couldn't help but be scattered, and the general wanted to arrange the troops to assault the uphill slope, Yang Yi had already rushed to the front!
"Kill—"
"Kill—"
"Where did the enemy come from, where did the enemy come from!" The general roared angrily, commanding the resistance, and shouting angrily: "Dare to attack the army of Bogra Khan, where did you come from!" ”
Where would Tang Jun pay attention to him? The crossbowmen on the mountain fired feather arrows one after another, and Yang Yi took the lead under the mountain, and he rushed to the death - he was outnumbered outside the Zhaoshan Palace and rushed back to the Hui and Zhuhu crying fathers and mothers, and burned several camps in a row.
The Hui army was in chaos, but Yang Yi had just entered the state, and it was like a sharp knife inserted into the flesh, cutting the tendons and bones, and seeing that once the muscles and bones collapsed, what was left would be a mess of rotten meat.
Little Stone shouted, "Envoy, let's go out and help too!" ”
Guo Luo didn't speak beside him, and then shouted: "What are you busy with!" Uncle Yong didn't move. ”
Liu An touched Xiaoshi's head and said, "You can't talk nonsense at this time, you know?" ”
Xiao Shi knew that this sentence had been made just now, bit his lip with his teeth, and nodded. Although Zhang Mai likes this kid, and he is not surprised that Guo Fen is ruined by him, but before the battle array, this identity has become strict, although Xiao Shi is a close attendant, Guo Luo and the others do not allow him to say an inappropriate word.
Zhang Mai stood against the wall, and saw that the two battalions of Zhenwu and Guangwu led by Guo Shiyong had not moved, and after a while, instead of continuing to enter the battlefield, they went around in a direction, detouring from behind the screen mountain to the back.
Liu An praised: "Brother Shiyong has a good eye, he can see accurately, and he can hold it steadily!" His age group is between Zhang Mai and Guo Shidao, Zhang Mai and Guo Luo call him a brother, and he also calls Guo Shiyong a brother.
At this time, the Hui army has begun to be chaotic, even if Guo Shiyong does not add troops, the two battalions of Yingyang and Baotao can also win, so Guo Shiyong secretly changed the flag, but instead detoured to outflank the enemy, Zhang Mai indirectly fought three big battles in a few months, and his understanding of the war was also out of the rookie level, and gradually moved towards the professional level.
At this time, more than half of the enemy's cavalry had already been eaten, and the enemy general saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly led people to escape, but where was there still time?
Yang Yi trapped the army between the enemy and our large army, although the impact was strong, but his goal was too obvious, everyone was afraid that he was also guarded against him, and his actions could not be flexible, Murong Chunhua saw this, and the fifty flying cavalry led by Murong Chunhua broke away from the brigade, circled in an arc, broke through from the emptiness of the enemy's troops, and rushed to the vicinity of the general, immediately stretched out his bow, and shot arrows, hitting the neck of the enemy general!
Zhang Mai saw it at the head of the city and couldn't help but cheer! Xiao Shi saw that his blood was full of blood, and he said in his heart: "When will I have such a majestic style!" ”
At this time, there was no suspense about the shape of the main battlefield, and Tang Renxiao asked for an order: "Special envoy, there is no need to defend the city now, please allow me to take six teams of men and horses out of the city, deploy them in the east, northeast, and southeast directions, and pack up the remnants of the army." Zhang Mai agreed, and took the telescope from Guo Luo's hand, and saw that in the distance, Guo Shiyong arranged the soldiers of the two battalions into a team, and the twelve teams of men and horses were arranged in twelve positions, almost blocking the enemy's way back! This veteran general is indeed superior in military geography, and he can see at a glance where it is wide and where it is tight, and although the strength of only two battalions has been laid out from the southwest to the northwest, it has formed a seemingly dense net.
Here, Tang Renxiao also led the crowd to slowly approach from the east road, Yang Yi only loves to fight, and he is tired of chasing the north and chasing the north, Zhang Mai ordered: "Let Renxiao give the order, surrender and avoid killing!" Then he said to the little stone: "Go and look for the enemy's commander who has fallen from his horse, and if he is not dead, bring him to me." ”
Little Stone was overjoyed when he received the order, climbed on the yellow horse, and galloped out of the city.
This battle lasted less than half an hour before it ended, and the Tang army fought cleanly! There were more than 1,140 people who came to attack and return to the country, and their troops were both weak and ambushed, and half of them were annihilated, half were captured, and few escaped. The casualties of the Tang army were very small, and among the generals, only Yang Dingbang was injured in the thigh by a stray arrow in the melee, but he did not worry about his life.
When Guo Shiyong began to clean up the battlefield, Xiao Shi carried the general into the city, and the ape arm was relaxed, and he put it down gently, and shouted: "Special envoy, this person is not dead yet!" ”
Zhang Mai saw that Murong Chunhua's arrow was still embedded in the other party's neck, and ordered Ma Xiaochun: "Take him down for treatment and try to save his life." Then he said to Guo Luo: "You go and find out those generals and interrogate them about the deployment of troops in Talas and Kulan City." ”
Guo Luo said, "Save." "I took the command.
Zhang Mai himself personally went out of the city to comfort Yang Dingbang, at this time, his status, the post-war battlefield handling work, prisoner reception work no longer need to intervene, Guo Shiyong and others will deal with it.
Guo Shiyong ordered An Shouye to take prisoners, take the head, and go around the streets and alleys of the city, the slaves who had just been attached to the logistics army had been oppressed by the Hui officers and soldiers for a long time, and everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, at this time they saw that they had suffered a big defeat under the Tang army, and their hearts were relieved of their hatred, and they were more in awe of the Tang army.
As for the inhabitants of Jaws, they became more obedient, and the old Nershahi sent his son Abula to inquire and congratulate, and Zhang Mai allowed him to go to the battlefield for a walk, although Abula was a businessman, but he had a wide range of knowledge, and after going around the battlefield, he went back and said to the old Nershahi: "Great, great! Judging from the traces left on the battlefield, this time this Lamp City Lord is fighting a tough battle! Then he lowered his voice and said, "But I listened to some soldiers in Dengshang City on the battlefield, and it seems that it is not the language of the Western Regions. ”
"What do you mean?"
Abule said: "Dad, do you remember that when Buddhism and I taught exchange disciples to study the scriptures, I lived in Shule Jokhang Temple for a period of time? ”
"Well, do you mean the Jokhang Temple built by the descendants of the Tang Min? So what? ”
Abule said: "I lived there for three months and learned some Tang dialects, and what those soldiers in Dengshang City said seemed to be Tang dialects. ”
Old Nershahi was taken aback: "What? Tang Yan? This...... How is this possible! It's a jaw drop! It's not Shule, it's not Khotan! But...... At the banquet that day, the old and rough man (he was talking about Liu An) was dismissed...... Judging by his appearance, he is a typical Tang man. This...... What the hell is going on? ”
