The wind is up, it's not big, but it can be regarded as bringing a little coolness to the people who have traveled long distances, but the wind has rolled up fine sand and dust, seeping into the gaps in the armor, making people itch uncomfortably, of course, for the Tang Dynasty ranger officers and soldiers who have long been accustomed to the pain of running around in the desert, this hardship is not a big deal, plus this way, the wind and waves are calm, but also make the ranger officers and soldiers especially as easy as a leisurely walk, the sound of each battalion singing one after another, laughter and laughter, the posture is not like marching, It was as comfortable as an outing, until a terrible horn sounded suddenly, which broke the peaceful atmosphere, but listening to the sound of the horn, more than 10,000 troops in the voice of the command was loud, and the commanders of each battalion commanded their officers and men to line up quickly according to the predetermined battle plan.

General Lin, you, you, why is this so? In the Central Military Department, Ensi Eshe, the leader of the Gelulu tribe who was originally laughing and chatting with Lin Chenghe, was taken aback when he saw the Tang army taking such a move, and hurriedly asked.

With the sound of the horn, Lin Chenghe had already put away his previous appearance of talking and laughing, and at this time he was already awe-inspiring, squinted at Ens Eshe, and said coldly: Why? A good why, this is why the head of Ensè should go and ask the lord of your country, Amoti.

Ah Ens Eshe was assigned to be the guide of the Tang Army this time, originally thought it was a beautiful errand, after all, if he could get in touch with Lin Chenghe, the town guard of Northern Xinjiang, it would be a good thing no matter how he said it, not to mention the benefits that can be obtained in trade, that is, he bragged to others afterwards, and he could also have a lot of talking points, but he never expected that things would change, at this time, seeing that Lin Chenghe's tone was wrong, he was dumbfounded, opened his mouth wide, and after a sigh, he was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Lin Chenghe talked with Ensishe in the past few days, and he already knew that he was just an outcast, and he didn't understand the relevant arrangements of Amoti at all, and at this time, seeing that he was panicked, he didn't bother to embarrass him, and waved his hand and said: Ensaeshe's head can go, follow this road, don't go far, you will be able to see Amotti, please ask Ensaeshe's head to inform Amotti, and say that the general will lead the army here and wait, and he Amoti will come if he wants to attack.

I, alas! Ens Esheh is not a fool, seeing that what Lin Chenghe said does not seem to be false, he immediately guessed Amotti's calculation, and hated it to the bone when he wanted Amotti to send him to death, and opened his mouth to explain, but after all, he didn't say anything, just sighed, and led more than a dozen of his guards to hurriedly ride in the direction of the old cow pond not far away.

Lao Niu Tang, this name sounds like there is a big pond of the place, in fact, although there are several small lakes here, but there is no such huge / thing as Ulungu Lake, the reason why it is called Lao Niu Tang, only because this place is sandwiched between the desert Gobi and the Altai Mountain branch that breaks into the north of Xinjiang A long and narrow grassland, shaped like a ruminant old cow and named Lao Niu Tang, the cow head, the ox tail are very narrow, as for the cow body, it is full of gently undulating hills, there is not much water source, it is really a good place to set traps and play stuffy sticks, This is also the reason why Amoti set this place as a place for ambushes, but unfortunately the Tang army did not want to suffer the stuffy stick, although they had arrived at the door of the old cow pond, but they did not go in, not only did not go, but arranged a defensive formation at the head of the bull, and a faction was ready to open a formal decisive battle with the Qarlu country.

Brother Ens Eshe, did the Tang Army really set up defenses at Tangkou? Along the way, does the Tang Army have any other arrangements? After learning the information brought by Ens Eshe, Amoti wandered around the same place for a while in a uncertain manner, his face changed constantly, and he looked in the direction of the old cow pond from time to time, and after being silent for a long time, he paced to the side of the iron-faced Ens Esheth with a smile on his face, and asked a question with a smiling face.

Enses Esheth was originally just an ordinary magnate in the tribe of stepping on strength, and then by chance, he got acquainted with Amoti, in the battle of banning the Red Mountain Mouth, after Amoti killed the head of the strength department, he pushed Ens Esheth to the high position of the head of the strength department, which can be regarded as a favor to him, and Ens Esheth has always been grateful to Amoti, but whenever it comes from Amoti's order, Ens Esheth has never questioned it, but this time when Amoti made a big move against the Tang Army, he not only kept Ens Esheth in the dark, but also regarded it as an outcast, This made Ens Esheth grit his teeth with hatred when he thought about it, but people were under the eaves, how could they not bow their heads, and they were angry in their hearts, but once Amo asked questions, Ens Esheh could only tell the truth: Yes, when a certain left, the Tang army had already begun to set up a formation, and there was no movement along the way, only when they arrived at Tangkou, the Tang army suddenly launched, and it was not clear what the reason was, this matter was absolutely true, and a certain dared to use his head to vouch.

Oh. Amotti replied noncommittally, his eyes flickered for a long time, but he never gave any order, that hesitant look, seeing the dissatisfaction of Awangda next to him, he glared and said: Big brother, let's fight, just 10,000 people, with more than 80,000 people under our hands, drown and drown him, I'm afraid of a hair!

Big brother, you can't fight, those who come are not good, those who are good don't come, the Tang army has broken through the ambush of our army, and still dares to come, you must have something to rely on, this battle can't be fought! Asmo was unwilling to have a bad relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and when he saw Awanda say this, he hurriedly admonished.

The third child, what did you say, it has come to this point, can you do it if you don't fight, it really makes the Tang army flee back, and will send a large army to retaliate in the future, how should I deal with it, besides, as long as I can eat this Tang army as soon as possible, my army can take advantage of the situation to kill the Ulungu River and sweep the northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop, at that time, no matter how strong the Tang Dynasty is, what can I do with my brother? Awanda was very ambitious, and he listened to Asmo's discouraged words, and immediately refuted it.

Asmo ignored Awanda's clamour, looked at Amoti with a sincere face and said: "Big brother, the war has not started at this time, I still have time to wait for Lerma, the younger brother is willing to go to the Tang camp to solve the misunderstanding, and we can still be at peace with each other, if the war is unfavorable, my Qarlu clan is in danger!"

Enough is enough, don't make any noise! Amotti was so upset by the quarrel between the two brothers that he couldn't help but break off, interrupted the dispute between the two brothers, raised his head, looked at the sky, hesitated slightly, but gritted his teeth and said: Fight, give the order to go down, and the whole army will attack!

Great! As soon as Awanda heard that the battle was about to begin, he became excited, grinned in reply, jumped up, turned on his horse, and went straight to the troops who had been on standby for a long time, and a series of orders were conveyed, and in an instant tens of thousands of soldiers and horses roared, let go of the horses' hooves and rushed into the old cow pond, and at the same time, several flying eagles flew up from the cavalry formation, and conveyed the order to start the battle to the troops in the ambush, and a great battle began.

The terrain of the old cow pond mouth is narrow, but the terrain outside the pond is actually very open, because of the Altai Mountain branch, there are a lot of hills here, although it is not a too steep mountain, but the mountain bag above and below 100 meters is not old and young, and there are many places that can be arranged to defend the position, but the Tang army is very strange this time to choose a Jedi layout defensive formation The Tang army chose a small hill bag near a small lake as the main defensive position, after this mountain and the right side are all surrounded by lakes, although the lake is not deep, but there are more than zhang up and downThe Tang army is arrayed in the mountains, although it can take advantage of the high mountain and the location, and there is no shortage of water due to the existence of the lake, and there is no need to scare about the attack from the rear and the right side, the problem is: as long as the Qarlu country firmly holds the open land at both ends, it is difficult for the Tang army to even break through, and the formation is no different from throwing itself into the net.

Hahaha, it is said that how can the Anxi Tang Army fight, it turns out that it is nothing more than that, hehe, it seems that after leaving Li Zhen, the Anxi Tang Army will only be left with waste, big brother, let the younger brother take the lead, and directly drive the Tang Army into the lake to feed the fish! As soon as Awanda, who led the troops out of Lao Niutang, saw that the Tang army had actually chosen a place of death as the place for the formation, he couldn't help laughing loudly, pointing out the formation of the Tang army, and spoke presumptuously.

Big brother and slow, the Tang Army's battle is a decisive intention to fight against the water, it is really a desperate posture, it is not trivial, and the enemy should not be underestimated, or wait for my army to gather, and then make a decision. Seeing that Awanda was so light on the enemy, Asmo hurriedly spoke out and admonished.

Well. Amoti replied unintentionally, but his eyes were always staring at the formation of the Tang army, and under this look, he immediately saw something strange, and pointed to the infantry phalanx in front of the mountain that added up to only two thousand: Second brother, third brother, what are those Tang troops carrying in their hands?

The total strength of the Tang army is only a little more than 10,000, the formation is quite strange, there are 2,500 cavalry on each side, all of them dismount and form five plum blossom formations, arranged closely, the front is very small, this is the grassland common method of war, since it is also very usual, there is nothing surprising, as for the Chinese army is located on the top of the mountain, there are about 3,000 cavalry as reserves, and the front of the Chinese army is 2,000 infantry, but the strange thing is that these infantry do not open their bows and arrows, and they do not hold blades and shields, and the only thing they hold is a strange-looking spear, Except for a slender iron pipe sticking out, the body of the gun turned out to be half iron and half wood, not to mention that the cavalry of the Qarlu State couldn't understand what this thing was, even the vast majority of the officers and soldiers in the Tang army formation didn't understand that these guys with burning sticks were standing there and making a big name.

I don't understand, it's supposed to be a spear. Asmo stared at it for a long time, and he didn't understand what was so strange about the thing, and he shook his head hesitantly, and said uncertainly.

It doesn't matter what he is, you will know if you fight, just 2,000 people, send a thousand cavalry to rush and kill them, big brother, let the younger brother take the lead. Awanda couldn't understand what the thing in the hands of the Tang army's infantry was, but he didn't care at all, bullying the Tang army without shields, archers and other defensive weapons, and shouted with a big grin.

Wait until the whole army is assembled. Amotti was always inexplicably careful about what he couldn't understand, and seeing that his army had blocked all the routes for the Tang army to escape, he was not in a hurry to launch an attack, glanced at Awanda, who was eager to try, and said calmly.

Brother Donglai, what are those turtle grandsons waiting for? Behind the Tang Army's infantry phalanx, an officer dressed in a captain's uniform saw that the Qarluq cavalry had already been in position, but he did not launch an attack.

Yan Donglai, the direct son of the Yan family, Yan Eighteen's cousin, and the commander of this strange infantry Yan Donglai and Yan Eighteen entered Li Zhen's door almost at the same time, the difference is that Yan Eighteen is a figure on the bright side, and Yan Donglai is the person in charge of the Shenji Hall, the most mysterious department of the Rising Sun. The ultimate goal is for the birth of the firearms unit, after more than ten years of research and development, until Li Zhen left the Western Regions last year, finally the black powder granulation, paper cartridge casing, breech breech, rifling wax technology, firing pin device design, manufacturing equipment and a series of difficulties one by one, so that the rifle officially embarked on the road of small-scale production, and in September of the 18th year of Zhenguan, in the Anxi army secretly mobilized 2,000 men and horses for assembly and training, after several months of preparation, This participation in the war is the first cry of the new-style infantry, the whole army is extremely eager, Yan Dongzi is no exception, but when he saw his deputy Yan Wancheng was so anxious, Yan Donglai immediately reprimanded unceremoniously: Be anxious, fight later, don't give Lao Tzu a thin line, if you lose the battle, see if Lao Tzu doesn't pick your skin.

Yan Wancheng is also a child of the Yan family, but he is a side branch, his identity and status cannot be compared with Yan Donglai, plus he is younger, he likes to make trouble in the past, at this time, he saw Yan Donglai scolding, but he was not afraid, he stuck out his tongue and said: What did the big brother Donglai say, how could this battle be lost, hey, His Highness is waiting for me in the Jingshi to wait for the good news, if it is really not good, I will have the face to see His Highness, rest assured, it will be absolutely fine.

Hum. Yan Donglai snorted with a cold face, and didn't pay attention to Yan Wancheng anymore, but remembered a conversation with Li Zhen before returning to Beijing last year, Yan Donglai couldn't fully understand what Li Zhen said about the fact that the firearms army would completely replace all arms in the future, but Yan Donglai was completely sure of the powerful combat power of the firearms unit under his command, in his opinion, it was really a bit overkill to take two thousand firearms troops to deal with the rabble of eighty thousand Gelulu countries, if such a battle was lost, Then he Yan Donglai except to buy a piece of tofu and die, I'm afraid that there is really no second way to go.

Brother Donglai, look, the thieves are moving! Just as Yan Donglai was pondering, the sharp-eyed Yan Wancheng pointed to the assembly place of the cavalry of the Qarlu Kingdom and shouted loudly.

Well? It's about to start, Wan Cheng, a certain commander of the first battalion, you go to command the second battalion, go quickly! As soon as Yan Donglai saw that a large group of cavalry in the cavalry formation of the Qarlu Kingdom was slowly pressing forward, he already knew that the first wave of tentative attacks of the Qarlu Kingdom was about to begin, so he did not dare to slack off, waved his hand, and ordered in a loud voice.

Yes, the last will obey! Yan Wancheng saw that the battle was about to begin, and he was very excited, so he hurriedly answered, and then ran towards the location of the second battalion.

Although Amotti is an ambitious person, but he is very cautious in doing things, in the face of the Tang infantry phalanx who can't figure out the details, he did not go all out to attack at the beginning, but sent a cavalry of 3,000 people, led by his famous brave general Kuensos, launched a wave of tentative attacks on the Tang infantry phalanx, in his opinion, there are 3,000 cavalry attacking, even if you can't break the Tang infantry phalanx, it is absolutely no problem to protect yourself, of course, in order to prevent the cavalry on both wings of the Tang Army from killing out, Amoti ordered all the cavalry on his left and right flanks to mount their horses, and once the two flanks of the Tang army attacked, the whole army pressed up, striving to rely on the absolute superiority in numbers to defeat the Tang army in one fell swoop, so as to win the battle.

Kuenthos is a rising star of the Qarluq tribe, a force in the Qarluq country is definitely second to none, he has always been arrogant, he has never felt that the Anxi Tang army is anything unusual, in the past, he often regretted that he could not fight with Li Zhen, who was brave and famous in the world, and this time he was ordered to take the lead in the battle, it can be said that he got what he wanted, and after receiving the order, he couldn't wait to wave his army straight up, or even omitted the steps that should have adjusted the steps between the horses, Flying with a scimitar, he roared wildly and rushed towards the Tang infantry phalanx.

The distance between the two armies is about 600 steps, converted into meters, that is, the distance of more than 500 meters, such a distance for the war horses in the rush, that is, a few breaths of effort, as the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, but has never been attacked by any long-range attack from the Tang army array, and there is no sign of the Tang cavalry on both wings, the cavalry of the Qarluq country who are galloping their horses all cheered, as if they saw the dawn of victory, each brandishing a bright scimitar, Unstoppable like thunder.

Three hundred and fifty steps, three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps! In the deafening sound of horses' hooves, Yan Donglai, who was originally standing quietly behind the infantry phalanx, finally raised his hand and waved it down vigorously, and in an instant, the mournful horn in the Tang army's formation sounded, and the counterattack of the Tang army's Shenji battalion began
