Chapter 367: The Victory Is Decided
Standing on the top of the city, Asiranda Khan looked down at the situation ahead, only to see that the army of Da Shi and Da Tang was divided into five regiments and mixed together, and the left, center and right sides of the battlefield fought hard, forming a short stalemate, while Gao Xianzhi and Ziyad each led the Chinese army to attack at any time to give the enemy a fatal blow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But as Li You and his 1,000 elite cavalry joined the battlefield, the situation suddenly changed dramatically; Duan Xiushi and the Qarluqs already had the upper hand, and under their combined attack, Humed's 10,000-strong army was now only 6,000, and their more than 10,000 soldiers and horses had already encircled Hummed from three sides.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Hou Meide decisively launched a decapitation assault, and personally led the army to kill in front of Duan Xiushi, seeing that he was about to reverse the situation, but he didn't expect Li You to kill from the rear, and an arrow took his life, and the death of the main general made the morale of the Great Food Army drop suddenly, at this time they seemed to have forgotten their devotion to the true god, and began to turn their horses' heads and flee to the rear.
After chasing and killing for a while and completely dispersed these routs, Duan Xiushi and Li You did not directly attack Ziad's main formation, but drew an arc, and the army went straight into the ribs of the Chinese army Said's army; Said, who had already captured Shule and made Zhao Zongxuan sweat, was suddenly attacked like this, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.
"Good!" Gao Xianzhi, who was watching the battle situation above the watchtower, slapped the railing excitedly, the attack route chosen by Li You is deeply in line with the art of war, and at the moment, the front army is fighting in three places, the right flank is holding each other, and the Chinese army is slightly unfavorable, no matter which side Li You supports, there is no way to change the situation of the battle in a short time; Only Duan Xiushi on the left flank had already gained the upper hand, and Li You's appearance was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, directly shooting Hou Meide and completely crushing his army.
Li You's thousand soldiers and horses played a role in discharging thousands of catties, freeing the 10,000 cavalry under Duan Xiushi, and attacking from Said's weak ribs, and the battle situation instantly turned in a direction favorable to Datang, "Pass the order, order Li Siye's Modao team to go into battle again, now is the time to completely defeat the middle lane!" ”
After saying that, Gao Xianzhi immediately walked down from the upper floor, ready to command the last reserve of the Tang Army to attack, and at this time, the soldiers and horses in Ziyad's hands should also move, and he continued to issue orders while walking quickly, "Send someone back to the city to issue a military order to Asilanda Khan, let him personally collect Ning Yuanguo's cavalry and prepare for battle!" ”
At this time, every ounce of strength is precious, and leaving him in the city before was to keep a back road for the Tang army, and now Li You's surprise attack has made the battle situation develop in their favor, so it is a waste for Ning Yuanguo's army to stay in the city, it is better to transfer them out to join the battle formation, even if they are not enough to compete head-on with the Great Food Army, but they can always be used to pursue the enemy can always be barely done, right?
"Sons, kill me and you!" Li You urged Zhu Long's horse, and aimed at the big food cavalry in front of him who had not yet turned around, and when he came to the battlefield, he had already used the "Eagle Eye Skill" once and chose Houmed's army as a breakthrough, and now he could only rely on his previous experience to fight.
Fortunately, the training in the last battle of Liantai gave him a deeper understanding of cavalry raids, and the position of the attack happened to be the weak point of the ribs of Said's army.
"Datang Wansheng!" Zhao Zongxuan's face turned red, he gave him such a heavy task today, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would need a newcomer to help him save the situation, and he immediately shouted, and the weapon in his hand was waving faster and faster. And behind him, Li Siye's Modao team completely blocked Said's front road to the Chinese army.
"Damn it!" Ziad scolded angrily, the previous battle situation was still in his expectation, the servant army and the Qarluq people made the Tang Dynasty consume a lot of energy, especially the middle road is developing in the direction he expected, he has already begun to plan to replenish the strength of Said's Chinese army and even press the whole army, but he didn't expect that the strange army that killed Humet disrupted his plan, and now he has to advance the decisive battle, if the situation in the field continues to develop, Said's Chinese army will soon be swallowed up by the Tang people, At that point, the tide of battle will never be reversed.
"God is great!" Ziad shouted slogans, drew his scimitar, and led the last of his forces to rush forward, and Mansur on the left flank also tried to break free from the entanglement of the Don army and join the battle in the middle; The battlefield, which had just been divided into three parts, was immediately stirred together, and a desperate fight began on the banks of the Talas River.
Gao Xianzhi in the rear held his breath, he knew that if the Tang army could block Ziade's first impact, then the initiative on the battlefield would completely fall to the Tang army's side, because he still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands that had not yet been dispatched, as long as the front army could slightly consume Ziade's strength, these elites who had been waiting silently for several hours could easily reap the final fruits of victory.
I only heard a few screams coming from the air, and when I looked up, I saw that the trebuchet behind me had fired dozens of boulders again, but this time the stones seemed to be quite different from the previous ones.
Dashi smashed into Ziade's army with a strong wind, Ziyad didn't look at this, he knew that this wave of attacks could only cause dozens of casualties at most, and it would not have much effect on the final outcome of the battle, he squinted his eyes and stared at the young general riding a vermilion BMW, if it weren't for him, they would never be so embarrassed.
"Boom!" Suddenly, there were several loud noises behind him, and the war horse that had been taken out of the plug cotton cloth under his crotch immediately became irritable, and the surrounding Great Eclipse cavalry was also the same, and the overly frightened war horse could no longer be controlled as easily as before, and there was a burst of chaos in the cavalry team of Great Eclipse.
If I know that the Qarluqs are traitors, how can I tell the truth? Li You sneered in his heart, the first wave of attacks just now didn't use up the thunderbolts, he also deliberately left more than a hundred of them, and now they just came in handy. The loud roar of the thunderbolt made the horses that had not been trained panic; And the Tang Army, who still had cotton in his ears, was not affected much.
Although the panic of the Great Cannibal was not big, it was enough for Gao Xianzhi, and he raised the sword in his hand high, "This victory is decided, and the whole army will fight!" (To be continued.) )
