Chapter 366: Battle of Qingshui River (5)

It is undoubtedly a headache for an army to have two brains, but the more headache is that the ideas of these two brains are not consistent, and they are still fighting to give orders, once such things happen, even if the combat effectiveness of this army is strong, it will not be able to escape the doom of failure, this is common sense, everyone knows, but once it is their turn, but no one is willing to give in easily, no, Bazhuo and Arutai are just shouldered, the two commanders are angry and angry, and the generals are at a loss, It is not surprising that such a nervous disorder is reflected on the battlefield, but it is not the middle front that Arutai and Bazhuo are worried about, but the left-wing battlefield.

The commander of the middle battlefield of Xue Yantuo's army, the commander of the Sai Na Thorn, is a veteran, although his reputation is far less prominent than that of Arutai, and it is not even as good as the rising star Da Da She, who has the reputation of "Prairie Eagle", but after all, the Sai Na Thorn is the general of Rong Ma's life, and he can ascend to such a high position as the governor of the right army, naturally has its advantages, at least in the overall situation, it is still good, as early as when he was ordered to lead his troops to attack the Tang Army's middle defense line, he had already thought that the situation might occur in the right wing of his own right flank, therefore, When he commanded his army to attack the middle of the Tang army, he also paid a lot of attention to observe the movements of his right flank, and when Dong Qianli led the rangers to launch a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Tang Army, Sena Thorn did not hesitate to personally lead the more than 10,000 cavalry of the reserve in the middle to the right flank, and launched a hedging battle with the gallants of Dong Qianli's department who were rushing to kill happily, temporarily stabilizing the precarious front of the right flank, and while the Si Sadu set up a stable position, he also began to gather the remnants. Entangled with the infantry of the Tang Army's Lin Ting Division, tens of thousands of horses on both sides fought in the dark on the battlefield that stretched for several miles, and it was difficult to separate.

On the battlefield in the middle, Lin Chenghe's department had previously fought a hard fight with the fleeing Hui Hui department, the loss of troops was secondary, the key was that the physical consumption was not small, fortunately, the morale was booming, this time the elite cavalry of Xue Yantuo, although they could hold the position, but they had no ability to counterattack, but they only relied on a strong defense, stubbornly blocking the assault of the cavalry of the Saina Thorn Department wave after wave, although it was not a problem to defend steadily, but it was not enough to attack, The battle situation in the middle was also in a stalemate with the left flank of the Tang Army, and it was difficult to do much for a while.

The right flank of the Tang army is completely composed of the cavalry of Ashina Thero, although there are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, but only more than half of the soldiers and horses who arrived at the battlefield in time, and the rest are still crossing the river one after another to assemble, and they are not put into attack with the forward, whether it is the strength or combat effectiveness is actually slightly worse than the left wing of Xue Yantuo composed of multiple small tribes. The battle at the beginning did prove this, the two cavalry armies collided head-on, and the fight was so fierce that no one could help the other, but as the battle continued, an accident broke the equilibrium, and this unexpected factor was Ashina Kanning.

Don't look at Ashina Kanning is just over seventeen years old, he can be regarded as the youngest general in the whole army, but his martial arts are very high, he is the first warrior of the five major Jin tribes, and his divine power is also a few people in the army, except for being inferior to Li Zhen, not under Chen Wu, this time with his uncle Ashina Thero, since he has long known that after this battle, the soldiers of the five major Jin tribes will be integrated into the Anxi Tang Army, and this battle is an opportunity for generals at all levels to make the last effort for their future status, without him, In order to occupy a place in the Anxi Tang Army, the five major tribal armies have played with their lives in this battle, as for Ashina Kanning himself, he has always respected Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and has long wanted to fight in the Quartet under Li Zhen. As the striker, Ashina Kanning couldn't wait to lead his troops to launch a fierce counter-assault, all the way into the Xue Yantuo army array, rushing left and right, like entering no one's land, where he passed, the blocker was invincible, how could Xue Yantuo's army be strong, although Ashina Kanning was brave, but it was difficult to shake the foundation of Xue Yantuo's army in a short period of time, but was surrounded by the surging Xue Yantuo cavalry in the center of the battlefield, if it wasn't for the main force of Ashina Therro's department to arrive in time, Ashina Kanning would have to fold in the chaos, Rao is like this, after a chaotic battle, after he has killed the enemy's forward cavalry, the 5,000 cavalry that originally followed behind him are only a pitiful less than 3,000, and the rest of the soldiers are either killed in battle or scattered by the chaotic army.

If it was a general on the side, who was hit hard by this, even if he didn't withdraw from the battlefield in a hurry, he would have to be busy withdrawing his own formation and joining up with his main force, but Ashina Kanning was good, not only did he not withdraw here, but led the remnants of his army to kill the Dolan Ge department who was commanding the battle in Xue Yantuo's rear formation, regardless of the strong strength of nearly 10,000 men and horses in the Dolan Ge array, and it was really the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

Dolan Ge is the commander of the Tongluo tribe, he has been fighting for most of his life, whether it is the Tang Army, or the Eastern Turk and Western Turkic armies have fought each other, the last time the Xue Yantuo Khanate sent troops to Shuozhou, it was one of the vanguards, and the war experience can be described as very rich, since he did not look down on the five major tribal armies that had long been decayed, this time he was ordered to lead nearly 40,000 coalition troops to attack the right flank of the Tang Army composed of Ashina Sero's department, Dolan Ge actually didn't care much, in his opinion, I didn't expect that as soon as the war began, not only did I fail to achieve the absolute advantage in my imagination, but I faintly felt passive, and I was hurriedly directing the follow-up soldiers and horses to put into the battlefield one after another, but suddenly found that a small branch of the five major Jin troops under the leadership of a young general actually killed their own cavalry formation, and was coming from the vigorous killing of the main formation, and when I was annoyed, I didn't care too much, frowned and snorted coldly, He sent one of his generals, Taheda, to lead 3,000 cavalry to meet the attack, and in his mind, this was enough to eat the remnants of Ashina Kanning, so he didn't bother to pay more attention to it, and turned his head to direct the battle, but unfortunately the facts told him unmistakably how wrong he was.

Taheda is also regarded as a few warriors in the Luo tribe, a martial arts is quite good, has always been known for his strength, at this time he was ordered to lead the attack, and did not put the five major Jin troops who rushed to kill on the opposite side in his eyes, and then looked at Ashina Kanning's childish face, and even more contempt, even the adjustment of the charge formation was exempted, holding the horse lance, leading his soldiers and horses to rush up in a chaotic manner, planning to kill Ashina Kanning and then go to clean up the gang of five major Jin tribesmen who didn't know what to do, but he didn't expect such a carelessness, not only gave his own life, but also affected the whole army.

"Look at the guns!" Ashina Kanning saw Taheda galloping from afar, and when the two horses were about to meet, Ashina Kanning shouted violently, and with a force of both hands, he stabbed suddenly, and the steel horse lance in his hand went straight to Taheda's chest without any tricks.

As the so-called Zhongping gun, robbing the king, the gun is the most difficult to prevent, don't look at Ashina Kanning's gun has not changed in the slightest, but it is in line with the essence of the Zhongping gun, the gun speed is extremely fast, the tip of the gun pierces the air, and a sharp and piercing roar erupts. Taheda obviously didn't expect Ashinakanin's shot to come so quickly, and he was taken aback when he landed, and he was caught off guard, so he had to put the horse lance horizontally, and went up with all his strength, trying to block Ashinakan's fatal shot, but he didn't expect Ashinakan's shot to be not only fast, but also full of strength, and its power was far beyond Taheda's imagination - Taheda's horse lance was holding the tip of Ashina Kanning's gun, but it couldn't open the gun, only after hearing a crisp sound of "click", The horse lance in Taheda's hand had already broken into two, and Ashinakanin's horse lance only paused slightly, and then stabbed into Taheda's chest mercilessly.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Ashina Kanning didn't care about Taheda's corpse at all, the steel horse lance in his hand was rounded left and right, and he shouted violently in his mouth, and quickly killed into the Tongluo army that was panicked because of the tragic death of the main general. Ashina Kanning, who was unobstructed, did not pay attention to the scattered and fleeing rebels, and took the lead in killing Dorange, who was at a loss not far away.

It will be the courage of the soldiers, the main general will flee like this, how can those soldiers below still have any fighting spirit, besides, this group of soldiers is not a clan, it was originally out of the general's order, this is under the command of Dolange, at this time Dolange himself has fled, and who will be stupid enough to step forward and fight with Ashina Kanning, so that since they each led their troops to flee, the entire left wing rear formation collapsed in a blink of an eye, which is a rare thing.

As soon as the left flank collapsed, the left flank front army in the front was in a fierce battle and immediately could not support it, under the repeated impact of the five major army soldiers who were constantly rushing to the battlefield, the small clan armies without unified command were no longer able to resist, and they turned their horses' heads one after another, and retreated to the main formation.

Well? What's going on? What is this old boy doing in Arutai? As soon as Li Zhen saw the collapse of Xue Yantuo's army on the right flank of the battlefield, but he didn't find that Arutai sent reinforcements to stabilize the war situation, he became suspicious and was a little confused for a while - the right wing battlefield can be successful, which has long been expected by Li ZhenAs long as this battle is a stalemate and the casualties are slightly larger, these small clan soldiers will immediately fall into a state of collapse, and it is common sense that Ashina Thero's troops can win the battle. According to Li Zhen's original idea, he planned to let Ashina Sero's department oppress Dolange's department and mobilize Xue Yantuo's main force to help, so as to create a favorable fighter for the Tang Army's cavalry attack, but he didn't expect that Dolange would be defeated so quickly, let alone that Arutai's Chinese army would sit back and watch the defeat of the left flank, and regardless of the danger that the right flank was already out of place, he actually sat firmly in Diaoyutai, which really made Li Zhen wonder how Arutai, who was experienced in war, could make such a low-level mistake, but anyway, Since the fighter plane appeared, Li Zhen would not be polite, took the bright silver gun from the victory hook, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" As soon as the words fell, they rushed into the Qingshui River in the first place, rushing towards the battlefield on the left flank, Chen Wu, Liu Xuanfeng, You Sifan and other generals were not to be left behind, and they waved their armies to follow closely, and suddenly more than 20,000 Anxi iron horsemen rushed down the Qingshui River, roaring and rushing to the opposite bank......

"Governor Dadu, look, the Tang Army's Chinese army has attacked!" Just when Bazhuo and Arutai were arguing endlessly, Lu Guha suddenly found that his left flank had been defeated, and the handsome banner of the Tang army had already rushed across the Qingshui River and was launching a fierce attack on the remnants of the Tsa Du She, and immediately exclaimed.

"Oh no, no, quick, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!" As soon as Bazhuo saw that his left and right flanks were all defeated, and that the battlefield in the middle was also at a disadvantage of losing and retreating, he immediately panicked, and no longer had the courage to shout the whole army to attack before, and shouted loudly.

"Blow the trumpet, order the armies to retreat, the Chinese army will not move, the arrows will be wound, and those who dare to rush the Chinese army will be killed!" Arutai didn't expect that in such a short period of less than half an hour, the whole battle situation would be so erosive, and he was frightened, but he was more calm, and he did not blindly withdraw the army, nor did he order the Chinese army to go to reinforcements, but ordered the Chinese army to hold its position - in his opinion, as long as the Chinese army can stabilize its position, even if the battle is lost, it will not be defeated to the point that the whole army is exhausted, as for those former troops who were killed by the Tang army, he can't take care of it, this is the old way of Arutai - if the army is withdrawn at this time, It is very likely that the Tang army will be driven to herd the sheep by the Tang army that came up from behind, and if the whole army attacks, in such a chaotic battle, it may not be able to stop the impact momentum of the Tang army, and even the 60,000 horses of the Chinese army will have to pay for it.

The two commanders agreed, and the order was naturally issued much more smoothly, and soon, the Xue Yantuo army sounded a terrible horn, and more than 60,000 Chinese soldiers stood still, each holding their bows and arrows, and was on full alert, ready to meet the possible attack of the Tang army at any time, at the same time, the Xue Yantuo army in front of them turned their horses and turned their horses and returned to the rout.

As soon as they saw that Xue Yantuo's troops were about to flee, how could the Tang army's units, which had an absolute battlefield advantage, fight for the first, bite the tail of Xue Yantuo's rout, and have the intention of driving the rebellious soldiers to impact Xue Yantuo's Chinese army's main formation, but he didn't expect that Xue Yantuo's Chinese army didn't care whether it was their own defeated soldiers or Tang army soldiers who rushed over, a dense rain of arrows covered the past, and tens of thousands of feather arrows were splashed down. The momentum of the shock slowed down. "All stopped!" Li Zhen didn't expect Xue Yantuo to shoot his own people on the spot without hesitation, seeing that his cavalry braved the enemy's arrow rain to rush into the battle and the loss was not small, he was unwilling to take things lightly, and ordered the heralds around him to blow the call to collect the troops, and the cavalry of the Tang Army stopped the pursuit, retreated one after another, and waited for their infantry to catch up, and stopped at a distance of about sixty zhang from Xue Yantuo's army, reopened the formation, and formed a confrontation with the frightened Xue Yantuo army again.

Hehe, isn't it simple, the strong man broke his wrist, he was so angry, this old man of Arutai is really ruthless enough! Although Li Zhen couldn't figure out why Arutai didn't mobilize the Chinese army to fight back when there was a crisis on the battlefield before, he really admired it in his heart when he saw that Arutai dared to shoot his own people with a ruthless heart this time, but the original intention of Li Zhen's battle was not to completely annihilate the Zhuo Division, but to force it to withdraw from the Ulastai Pass. At this time, he didn't want to push the other party too much, so he didn't order another attack, but inevitably confronted Xue Yantuo's army.

The Tang army did not take the initiative to attack, and the frightened Xue Yantuo army did not dare to attack again, and the two sides maintained a peaceful confrontation situation with such a tacit understanding, until the last ray of sunlight disappeared in the sky, the two sides slowly retreated at the same time, and disengaged from contact, Xue Yantuo's army retreated the camp for ten miles, and set up the camp, and the Tang army moved the camp across the Qingshui River, and set up a camp three miles away from the Xue Yantuo camp. In this battle, the Tang army won a great victory of nearly 40,000 enemies at the cost of more than 6,000 casualties......
