Under the meadow hills in front of the city, the two armies once again set up their arrays. The Tang army was arranged in a glaive formation, the crescents on the two wings were the cavalry of Gelulu and the cavalry of the Han Navy, the central moon bend phalanx was part of the central army of the Anxi army, and the large number of phalanxes on the back of the moon were all soldiers temporarily recruited by Ning Yuanguo.

According to the arrangement of the Glaive Formation, the leading general should be in command on the back side of the moon, but in order to cooperate with the performance of the Chinese army being overwhelmed by the Qarlu anti-water and retreating on the whole line, Li Siye put the Chinese army in an empty shelf, only the fierce exhibition of the festival made Liuxu and Menjing. And Jiedu made himself incarnate as a member of the Mo Dao, and the Five Elements Order Banner that was in front of the Moon Bend Array and issued military orders was also transferred here.

The advantage of the Glaive Array is that it is not easy for the enemy to discover the reality on the back side of the moon, and the total strength of the Tang army in this formation is only 8,000 people, and the rest are all Qarlu and Bahanna armies and temporarily recruited soldiers.

The biggest problem now is that this false main force can't hold out for too long under the attack of the big cannibals, which requires Qarlu to turn back at the right time so that it will not be seen through.

The formation of the Great Eclipse on the opposite side presented four side-by-side zigzag structures, with 20,000 enemy cavalry at the front and 55,000 infantry at the rear.

Ziad also changed his tactics this time, deciding to send half of his cavalry to attack the center of the opponent's crescent, and the infantry formation followed closely behind to press the enemy. In fact, this move was to attract the resistance of the Han navy on the left flank, and to create a favorable opportunity for the anti-water of Qarludon Viga.

"Cavalry Army, Attack!" He ordered the standard-bearer beside him to wave the flag.

The Arabian horse is nimble and steady in its push through the dust, its only weakness is that it does not have the speed of the Turkic horse, but it is easy to adjust the control, and the interval from high speed to stop is very short, which is best suited for the impact of infantry phalanxes.

The Great Eclipse Cavalry untied his horn bow on his horse, and his body lay tightly on the horse's back, waiting for the horse to rush into the range of the Tang army's crossbow arrows. The Fuyuan crossbow here has already been stretched with bowstrings, and the crossbow has been flattened in his hand, and everyone in Li Siye's Chinese army has a horned bow or longbow, and they are riding feathered arrows and eyeing them, ready to meet the big food cavalry that flew over.

From the cavalry rushing into the range of 300 paces to the sudden arrival of the infantry in front of the crossbow there were only two opportunities to shoot, and there were only two crossbows and longbows, and the general in charge of the command stared at the visual distance, and as soon as the horse's hooves broke through the boundary, he immediately waved down the flag and shouted: "Shoot!" ”

The rain of arrows shot out like a waterfall and fell in the charging horse team, and many of the enemy cavalry lying on horseback were hit by arrows, and even some horses were taken care of by dozens of feathered arrows, and they fell to the ground while running, and their nosebleeds flowed.

The enemy cavalry soon approached the forward array of the Tang army, and the front had been changed from a crossbow team to a Mo knife hand, but the horses did not dare to rush up to the blade, they used the flexibility of the Arabian horse to quickly slow down, like a razor obliquely cutting the front line of the Tang army, and the cavalry spear stabbed the soldiers in the front row. Quickly turn to make a U-turn.

Ma Pho waved the command flag in the center of the military formation, ordering the Hanhai cavalry on the left flank to outflank and cover the enemy cavalry.

"Cavalry! Above! The Hanhai cavalry on the left flank quickly meleeed with the enemy cavalry, and the Tang army's vanguard also quickly pounced and slashed the Great Food Cavalry.

The four infantry formations in the rear of the Great Eclipse quickly pressed up, and the two armies entered a short stalemate.

Ma Phosphorus ordered again: "The Chinese army in the rear retreats!" ”

Just after he gave the order, the army in the rear began to slowly retreat, and the Great Food General Ziad looked at the ranks of the Tang army from afar, and muttered: "Now is the best time for Qarlu to attack and kill, Don Viga must not let me down." ”

As soon as his words fell, the Qarlu cavalry on the right flank of the Tang army's array quickly attacked and killed the false Chinese army camp at the back of the Glaive Formation.

Li Siye stood in front and looked back at the chaos, and took the opportunity to shout: "Oh no! Qarlu is backwater! Ge Lulu attacked and killed Dr. Li of the Chinese army! Go back to the rescue! ”

This sentence is a code word that commands the people to proceed with the next step of the plan. The Hanhai cavalry blocked the pursuit of the Great Eclipse Army in the rear, and everyone began to retreat in a planned and organized way towards the direction of the Pearl River, and Ge Lulu blocked their rear in the name of pursuit, so as not to let the Great Eclipse generals see through their chaos and order.

The chaos of the Anxi army is orderly in chaos, but the army of Ning Yuanguo is really chaotic, and some of this fake show must be true, they don't know the truth and leave many corpses in the escape.

King Ningyuan had been following Li Siye in the front and retreating with the Tang army, and the lord of the kingdom asked aloud in a hurry, "Are we going to lose?" Is my capital about to be lost? Dr. Li, you have something to say! ”

Li Siye dragged the reins of his horse with his backhand, pulled his horse and ran forward together, and laughed loudly: "How can you be defeated, the main force of our Anxi Army is not here, after crossing the Zhenzhu River, I will show you a good show." ”

"I know you must have a backhand, but many of the warriors recruited by our country are going to die, and you are playing too much!"

Li Siye shouted against the wind: "There won't be too many deaths, I will send Tian Zhen to lead the Han Navy cavalry to fight and retreat in the rear to block the big food soldiers, Ge Lulu is behind us to chase, he is ......, and there are our people by the river to answer." When this battle is won, I will compensate you! ”

Da Shi's infantry formation was bloated and huge, and it was not easy to catch up with the retreating Tang army, and the biggest threat was Da Shi's cavalry, which must effectively block their pursuit, or at least let them lag behind the Qarluq cavalry.

Tian Zhen led the Han Navy to take on this important task, and they flew kites to charge each other with the Great Food Army, and then quickly withdrew and fired arrows, and then turned back to continue the entanglement.

Fifty miles away, Li Siye led the retreating Tang army to arrive within an hour, everyone ran out of breath, even the cattle around them were so tired that they foamed at the mouth, and now they had to cross the river again, which was a great test of people's physical strength.

The water level of the Zhenzhu River was rising in spring and summer, but fortunately, the Tang army that responded to it set up dozens of rafts by the river overnight, and the two banks were pulled back and forth by ropes, so as to improve the transportation capacity.

Li Siye stood on the riverside and shouted: "The raft that doesn't know how to water!" Horseback riders and water savvy can wade across from both upstream and downstream! Pound my legs for me, hurry up! Don't wait a while, the big cannibals are coming! ”

Cen Shen persuaded on the side: "Doctor Li, you cross the river first, the south bank is too dangerous!" ”

Li Siye turned his head and glared at him and said, "You scholar, what do you know!" If my tooth banner had crossed the south bank, it would have discouraged the soldiers crossing the river, and now I am still on the north bank! It is to tell them that I, Li Siye, will not leave my brother alone to escape danger. ”

"Hurry up, swim over if you know how to swim over."

Soon the Qarluq cavalry chased to the shore, and they deliberately slowed down, and only after the Tang army had withdrawn to the opposite bank did they shout and fire arrows at the opposite bank.

"Don't let Tang Jun fucking run away! Cross the river for me to chase. ”

Relying on the superior short-range sprinting power of the Turkic horses, the Han navy bypassed the Qarluq cavalry and waded across the river upstream.

Finally joined forces with the Great Eclipse Army, and became an independent cavalry army in addition to the Great Eclipse Cavalry. The main general, Ziyad, rode on his horse and praised loudly: "Today's battle can accomplish the overall success, thanks to the great Khan of Don Viga, who suddenly raised the banner of righteousness and abandoned the darkness to the light, I will ask the caliph to give you credit." ”

Don Yehu grinned unnaturally: "Khan? Or the Great Khan? ”

"That's right!" Ziyad laughed loudly: "If we can completely drive the Tang army out of the Green Ridge, can fully master the Wakhan Corridor bordering the Indus countries, and can control the entire Great and Small Bolu and Tocharian Realms, then I will ask the Caliph for merit and appoint you as the Great Khan of the three places of Broken Leaf River, Talas, and Thirsty City, you only need to accept the blessing of Allah, join the arms of Allah, and pledge allegiance to the Caliph." ”

Dare to make me religious, Don Bijia grinned secretly, stepped forward and hugged his chest and said: "Your Excellency Respected General, I am willing to be the vanguard of the army, cross the Pearl River and continue to pursue the Tang army, the thousands of miles of rugged roads in the green ridge will become the burial place of the Tang army." What do you think? ”

"Okay, the army continues to cross the river and pursue the Tang army."
