The Anxi Tang Army and Xue Yantuo's army have been in a stalemate on the Qingshui River for nearly a month, everyone knows that there will be a battle between the two sides, and both sides also have their own battle plans, however, there is a way that the plan can never catch up with the rapid change, no one thought that the first full-scale war would suddenly break out because of the appearance of such an inexplicable figure as Liu Suifeng, it is obvious that the war has its own operating laws, once the war is ignited, it is no longer controlled by the will of both sides, and the commanders of both sides have a clear understanding of this, As for who can have the last laugh, it depends on whose battlefield adaptability is stronger, therefore, at the beginning of the war, both sides are very cautious, and neither is in a hurry to send reinforcements to reinforce the two small teams that are fighting in the center of the battlefield, all of them are closely watching each other's formations, waiting for the best time to strike.

The fierce battle on the north bank of the Qingshui River continued, although the Tang army's iron cavalry had a certain upper hand, but the pro-army of Xue Yantuo Khan's Hall, who refused to surrender, was still desperately entangled with the Tang army under the command of the captain of the guard, Lu Guha, and the men and horses on both sides were mixed together, and the battle was extremely fierce, but as the war progressed, the uncaptured Xue Yantuo Jing cavalry was under the fierce attack of the Tang army, and the casualties became bigger and bigger, and gradually some of them could not support it, but the Arutai in the rear still did not order to increase the troops, He didn't even look at the battle of Luguha's department, but squinted at the main array of the Tang army on the other side of the river, silently assessing the possible next move of the Tang army.

Arutai has always been cautious in the use of soldiers, he knows very well that the two cavalry armies that are fighting fiercely in the field are just appetizers before the general battle, and they are not worth paying too much attention to, but the attack formation of the main force of the Tang army makes Arutai have to think about it - according to common sense, the side with inferior forces is mostly on the defensive in large-scale battles, and generally plays defensive counterattack tactics, of course, there are many exceptions - if your own troops are small, they are far more elite than the other party, It is completely possible to attack first, use your own powerful assault ability, penetrate the enemy formation in one fell swoop, and disrupt the overall formation of the enemy army, so as to achieve the strategic goal of winning more with less, but according to Arutai's view, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army in this battle is very strong, but it is not so strong that it is far better than Xue Yantuo's elite cavalry, as for the combat effectiveness of Ashina Sero's division on the left flank of the Tang army, it is much worse, not to mention compared with the Tang army, even the soldiers of the Fugu and other tribes in Xue Yantuo's army are slightly better than the remnants of Ashina Thero, From the perspective of comprehensive combat strength, the Tang army does not have the upper hand at all, and the strength is only less than half of Xue Yantuo's army.

Arutai is not in a hurry, that is because of the existence of the Qingshui River, without him, don't look at the Qingshui River is now a dry period, the water is very shallow, people and horses can wade through, but the river is a river after all, even if the water flow is gentle, it is also a river, as long as the people and horses enter it, the speed of the impact will inevitably be greatly affected, and the formation will not be able to remain intact, if the Tang army launches a surprise attack, it can only be a chaotic formation, so that the army of Xue Yantuo, who is guarding the shore but more than a hundred zhang away, is bound to take advantage of the Tang army's unstable foothold. It is strange that the Tang Army, which has a beautiful half-crossing attack, can curry favor with the Tang Army, but since the Tang Army dares to deploy the formation like this, there must be a reason, Arutai does not believe that a master like Li Zhen would make such a low-level mistake, in the case of unclear hostility, instead of blindly moving around, it is better to wait and see how it changes, as for the already tight Luguha Division, it has nothing to do with Arutai's view, and it is a big deal to retreat to the main formation. If the Tang army dared to do this, Arutai would not be able to ask for it, and eating the elite of the Tang army who were bold and reckless would be able to teach the Tang army a painful lesson.

Arutai is not in a hurry, Li Zhen is even more not in a hurry, after killing Liu Suifeng with a sword, Li Zhen just glanced at the battlefield on the north bank, and then waded back to the south bank regardless of it, and did not worry about the safety of the five thousand soldiers and horses who attacked on his side, without him, there is the old and serious Chen Wu and the clever and wise Gao Heng, these two generals, there is absolutely no possibility of going wrong, how to deal with Li Zhen believes that these two generals will make the right choice, and there is no need to worry too much, the only thing that makes Li Zhen headache is that this war came too suddenly, is not at all what was originally planned, and Li Zhen is inevitably a little unsure about whether he can successfully achieve the original strategic goals.

As soon as he saw Li Zhen go ashore, Yingda hurriedly led more than a dozen guards to lead Li Zhen's war horse to the shore, and protected Li Zhen's group in the middle. ”

"It's fine." Facing Yingda's anxious and crying face, Li Zhen's heart rolled with a burst of emotion, patted Yingda's thick shoulder, responded with a smile, turned over on the war horse, rode back to the formation, and saw Li Zhen return to the battle, all the senior generals immediately surrounded him, although he didn't ask, but everyone's eyes showed a look of concern, Li Zhen didn't say much, nodded with a smile, waved his hand, and motioned to the guards to present their own clothes and armor, and quickly replaced the ** tattered robe on their bodies, Only then did he concentrate on observing the deployment of Xue Yantuo's army.

Hmm, is this old man of Arutai very cautious in his use of soldiers, holding such a heavy army and not attacking, hey, he is really calm! Li Zhen only looked at Xue Yantuo's formation, and frowned when he landed - Li Zhen has always attached importance to the collection of intelligence, and since he came to the Western Regions, he has spared no effort to strengthen this aspect of work, except for the forces of the Jingshi and the fiefs of the kings of Wu and Wei have not been mobilized, most of the elite generals of the entire "Rising Sun" system have been transferred to the Western Regions, and large-scale infiltration work has been carried out in various countries in the Western Regions, especially for Xue Yantuo, a strong nomadic country outside the Saiwai, it is the focus of the work of the "Rising Sun". For Arutai, the veteran general standing behind Bazhuo, he focused on a detailed investigation, knowing that Arutai was the actual commander of Xue Yantuo's army this time, and he also knew that this person was extremely experienced in warfare and was not an easy figure to deal with, but Li Zhen was not afraid of fighting with Arutai head-on, without him, just because Arutai had a fatal weakness, that is, he was too cautious, lacked aggressiveness, and was good at defending but not attacking, so he only designed to induce him to attack for this weakness. It will be able to take advantage of the subtle relationship between the army of the Xue Yantuo Khan's court and the various servant tribes to break through, so as to completely defeat the military formation of Arutai, for this reason, Li Zhen originally arranged the relevant battle plan, but he didn't expect that a willow came with the wind inexplicably, but the entire battle plan was completely disrupted, which made Li Zhen very depressed and annoyed, but he had no choice but to calm down and carefully consider how to adjust the planned strategic deployment next.

Regardless of the fact that the commanders of the two armies were thinking about the overall strategy and tactics, and said that the two cavalry armies on the north bank were in a fierce battle, because both sides had no formation at all, this battle was a bad battle, the officers and soldiers on both sides were all mixed together, the sky was dark, the smoke and dust were billowing, the shouts, the impact of weapons, the screams of the wounded, and the wails of the war horses were all intertwined, and how could it be "tragic", the corpses of the men and horses were close to each other, and the blood flowing out flowed into the Qingshui River along the river bank. It actually dyed half of the surface of the river a faint scarlet, which made people feel a kind of nausean urge at the sight of it.

I'm in a hurry, I'm really in a hurry! Gao Heng in the fierce battle was a little anxious and angry, he didn't expect that today's small-scale encounter would be so difficult, and he didn't expect that the Xue Yantuo cavalry, who was at an absolute disadvantage, would be so tenacious, obviously exhausted, but he fought to the death and did not retreat, desperately pestering the Tang army, seeing that under the fierce battle, his own casualties were gradually increasing, Gao Heng was even more anxious, but some of them were helpless, without him, at this time, the soldiers and horses of the two sides were already mixed together, not to mention the formation, It is very rare to want to gather a small team of more than 100 people, and the strategy and tactics are even more impossible to talk about, the soldiers of the two armies are just fighting with their personal bravery, and it is not uncommon to fight for their lives, and the scenes of soldiers on both sides dying together abound, under such hard fighting, Rao is Gao Heng is wise and resourceful, and there is no place to play, so he can only grit his teeth and fight desperately, it depends on which side can not resist the defeat and retreat first, fortunately, at this time, the Tang army has a considerable advantage, but it will not be defeated, It's just that a crushing victory is not the result Gao Heng wants. Just as he was anxious, Gao Heng suddenly found that not far from the front of the battlefield, a burly Xue Yantuo Thousand Household Chief was leading dozens of Xue Yantuo cavalry to kill the Quartet.

"Kill!" Gao Heng roared angrily, and the big iron spear in his hand stabbed suddenly, picking off a Xue Yantuo cavalry who rushed forward from the horse, swept sideways with the situation, blocked the two scimitars that split the coming, twisted the horse's head, and avoided the corpse of a war horse in front of him, and then rushed into the chaos like a whirlwind, the big iron spear in his hand picked left and right, and successively killed several Xue Yantuo cavalry under the gun, but he was soon surrounded in the center by the four Xue Yantuo's hundred household chiefs, and the four scimitars crossed left and right to seal Gao Heng's dodge route, There is a posture of dividing Gao Heng's corpse with a chaotic knife.

is a good Gao Heng, in the face of such a dangerous situation, he didn't have the slightest fear, and shouted: "Tide! The big iron gun in his hand swept away, blocking the two scimitars that came from the right side and flew into the air, and then the body fell, an iron plate bridge, let go of the knife that came from the left side, and then suddenly turned together, and picked up the big iron gun in his hand, and picked up the oncoming head of the hundred households in the air, kicked the horse's belly with his feet, and accelerated suddenly, letting the remaining three hundred household chiefs, and went straight to the thousand household chiefs who were killing in all directions.

The extremely brave head of a thousand households is Lu Guha, as the commander of the Khan's court, Lu Guha's personal martial arts are extremely good, but also fierce, although at this time his own side is already at an absolute disadvantage, under the heavy casualties, the original 5,000 troops have already been lost nearly half by now, but as long as the rear does not blow the horn of withdrawal, he will never be defeated and retreat, this is not only a personal sense of honor, but also related to the morale of the whole army, in his opinion, even if the pro-guard army is wiped out, It can also be regarded as a kind of boost to the morale of the whole army, therefore, Lu Guha roared wildly, fought hard, fought desperately, and made the best example for his own cavalry, and when he saw Gao Heng's momentum like a rainbow, Lu Guha did not choose to retreat, but bravely went forward.

"Kill!"

"Look at the robbery!"

Lu Guha and Gao Heng roared almost at the same time, both grabbed at the same time, and hit a hard blow fiercely, but when they heard a loud "bang", sparks splashed, and the two of them felt that their arms trembled violently at the same time, and the tiger's mouth was hot, and the steel spear in their hands was bounced away by the strength of the other party.

Gao Heng's strength is one of the best in the Tang Army, but it is not known for its strength, after all, in addition to Li Zhen in the Tang Army in Anxi, there are still Wang Sheng, Chen Wu and several other people whose strength is still above Gao Heng, but its marksmanship taught by Li Zhen is Chu Qiao among the generals in the army. With a flick of his wrist, the shot was a move "Hundred Birds Rushing to the Phoenix", but seeing the brilliant guns, the reality was uncertain, and it was like a fantasy and a real man.

Lu Guha, as one of the few brave generals in Xue Yantuo's army, is also famous for his marksmanship, and he had a hard encounter with Gao Heng before, but he failed to take advantage of the slightest, and he also had the heart to win by skill, at this time, seeing Gao Heng's unpredictable shot, his heart was a chill, and he didn't dare to slack off, and he also roared violently: "Kill!" The arm shook, the steel horse lance in his hand trembled violently, and dozens of spear flowers erupted from the same fire, which was a number of killing moves in the grassland marksmanship, "Phantom Spear Technique", although this move was different from Gao Heng's "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear" moves, and the way of exerting force was also different, but in essence, it was not much different, and it was a strong move with a killing move in the change of virtual and real.

If there are bystanders, one will definitely be dizzy by these two people's robbing moves, but for the two warring sides, but there is no leisure to appreciate the beautiful scenery caused by the other party's robbery, each carefully looking for the flaws in the other party's robbery, but unfortunately has not yet been discovered, the two strong moves have collided head-on, but listen to a "clanging" in the crisp sound, The steel snatch in the hands of the two generals hit dozens of blows in a row, and each of them was shocked to the point that his arms were numb, and they were all busy beating their horses and rushing through the combat area, and they were all shocked in their hearts not far away.

Since Gao Heng's debut, he has not encountered an opponent who can compete with him in marksmanship, Fu Kui was also a good hand at the beginning, and he suffered a big loss under his gun, at this time, he failed to defeat Lu Guha in two consecutive faces, and admired the other party's bravery, and his pride suddenly rose up, and the big iron gun in his hand swung and roared: "Come again!" As soon as the words fell, he killed Lu Guha again, and at the same time, Lu Guha, who was angry, was not to be outdone, and with the same long roar, the horse pounced towards Gao Heng, and a vicious fight started again.

Lu Gu Hanai is the first fierce general in Xue Yantuo's pro-guard army, he was entangled by Gao Heng, and the Xue Yantuo Khan's court pro-guard army, which was still inseparable from the Tang army, immediately couldn't support it, without him, the Tang army already occupied a certain advantage, whether it was morale, strength or personal martial arts, it was stronger than Xue Yantuo's pro-guard army, not to mention that in addition to Gao Heng in the Tang army, there was such a strong hand as Chen Wu - Chen Wu didn't make much of a move, but just led more than 100 personal soldiers to watch the enemy at the back of the battlefield, At most, it is to shoot those scattered Xue Yantuo cavalry who did not run to the front with long eyes under the gun, most of the time is waiting for the best opportunity to attack, at this time, when I saw a small piece of territory vacated in the center of the field, and saw that Gao Heng was fighting alone with the enemy generals who had rushed back and forth in the formation before, his heart moved, knowing that the opportunity to break the enemy had arrived, he no longer hesitated, waved the steel gun in his hand, and shouted: "Follow the general, kill the thief!" As soon as the words fell, he led his troops to kill in the chaotic army, but when he saw Chen Wu's spear like a wheel, there was no enemy everywhere he passed, and Xue Yantuo's cavalry who dared to block in front of Chen Wu died tragically under his spear.

Chen Wu's power was not tightened, but it became the last straw that crushed the camel, and the Xue Yantuo Khan's court guards, who were already unable to support, were no longer able to resist the fierce attack of the Tang army, that is, they couldn't even care about their own commanders, and they left the battlefield one after another, and galloped towards the main formation outside the more than 100 battles. As soon as he fled, some of Xue Yantuo's personal guards who were still fighting hard lost the courage to continue fighting, and they desperately got rid of the entanglement of the Tang army, and followed Lu Guha away in embarrassment, losing their armor and crushing into the army. The unforgiving Tang Army's iron cavalry did not pay any attention to Xue Yantuo's army waiting in the distance, and drove the rout forward to attack bravely, and there was a great opportunity to use the rout to disrupt Xue Yantuo's own formation in one fell swoop.

As soon as he saw that the Khanting guards had retreated from defeat, Arutai, who had always been quiet, finally made all his moves, coldly glanced at the Tang army's iron cavalry chasing after the rout, raised his hand, and ordered calmly: "Archers prepare!" "I actually planned to shoot the Tang Army's iron cavalry and the rout on the spot, but unfortunately, before Arutai gave the order to release the arrows, a terrible horn sounded in the Tang army array on the south bank of the Qingshui River, and Arutai's order was interrupted......
