Chapter 516: Beat the Drums, Enter the Army!

The Fire Immortal Khan and Gelulu Yehu, taking advantage of the opportunity of the various tribes being oppressed by the Tang Dynasty, secretly connected in various ways.

The strong oppression of the Tang Dynasty, especially the forcible seizure of cattle, sheep and horses, did make many tribes extremely dissatisfied.

Among them, the most powerful is naturally the Hui people.

Hui Khan Guli Peiluo has long been dissatisfied with Datang.

Obviously, there is an emptiness of strength on the prairie, and it is time for the Hui people to rise.

But Datang brutally interrupted their hope of dominating the grassland.

Not only that, but he also regarded Hui as a vassal and kept blackmailing.

Now that he has foreign aid and like-minded companions, Guli Peiluo is determined to fight once.

It's a big deal to lose it, and then go back to Datang to make peace.

In addition to this, there are also tribes such as the Tunjas.

Datang is neither blind nor deaf, and the actions of these vassal tribes in secret are naturally seen clearly.

Guo Ziyi, Gao Xianzhi and others spoke one after another, asking the emperor to send someone to investigate the matter, and it was best to catch the Great Food Messenger who was quietly moving here, so as to make this matter an iron case.

"There's no need to go through the hassle."

Li Yunze waved his hand and didn't agree to this matter, "Directly in my name, I will summon these tribal leaders to the Chinese army's big tent to take down and dispose of." The army sent troops again to sweep away the tribes. ”

"Your Majesty."

There are still those who oppose it, "The soldiers and horses of Da Shi are on the other side of the river, if I start civil strife here in Datang, I am afraid that it will take advantage of it."

"It's not that I look down on the army of the Great Eater."

Li Yunze's eyes were very calm, "I look down on all the armies except the Tang Dynasty!" They have the best movements, and they are able to cross the river and fight our army. As long as you come over, then don't think about going back! ”

The nomadic tribes listened to a lot and looked at a lot of people, but their combat effectiveness was completely incomparable with that of the Tang Army.

Li Yunze really looked down on them, unless it was the civil strife in the Central Plains Dynasty, they would not have the slightest chance.

Then the name of the military was discussed, and the tribal leaders were gathered, and most of them chose to go over.

After all, the big food soldiers and horses on the other side of the river have not yet crossed the river, and at this time they have to hide the small actions in secret.

Only three of them didn't go, and they were keenly aware of the signs of danger.

Ye Hu of Qarluq, Turgish and Khan of Hui.

Not only did they not go, but they even took the initiative to mobilize troops and horses in case of emergency.

I have to say that their intuition is indeed very sensitive.

As night fell, the tribal leaders who had gone to the Chinese tent never returned, and their tribes were immediately attacked.

Because there were so many people, the tribes gathered very close to each other, and even in his own camp, the Fire Fairy Khan could see many fires rising in a tribe in the distance.

"Immediately send someone to send a letter to Gelulu Ye Hu, Guli Peiluo Khan, saying that our plot has been discovered by the Tang people." The black-faced Fire-Spitting Immortal Khan immediately responded, "Tell them to immediately send troops to break through, let's go to the river to meet and meet the big on the other side."

Eat the army. ”

After the messenger left in a hurry, the Charizard Khan turned around and ordered the gathering of men and livestock, preparing to quickly break through to the north while the night was dark.

Some henchmen cautiously reminded "Great Khan, Great Cannibal in the West." ”

"I know."

The Fire-Spitting Immortal Khan simply walked towards the horses, "So we need the Qarluq people to follow the Hui people to attract the attention of the Tang army, so as to give us time to escape north." ”

Don't look at the combined number of these tribes is more than the total number of the Don army.

But the difference in combat effectiveness is very clear to these leaders.

The Tang Army's ironclad array and iron cavalry were laid out, and it was like playing to clean them up.

If it was really when the Tang Army and Da Shi had a decisive battle, it would be no problem for them to carry out a kidney attack in the back, but if they fought a decisive battle with the Tang Army head-on, a fool would do it.

This kind of fool has already been done by the white-eyed khan of the Turks before and after, but his whereabouts are unknown when he was beaten by the Tang army.

The post-Turkic soldiers and horses were more than they combined.

The Spitfire Khan made up his mind to sacrifice his allies to create time for his escape.

But what he didn't expect was that both Gelulu's Ye Hu and Guli Peiluo Khan actually thought so.

They also sent messengers separately to tell the others to go to the riverside to meet together, but they themselves fled north in a hurry.

Then, almost in parallel, several people fled across the vast grassland.

When the sky gradually brightened and the horses traveled far away, they realized that everyone wanted to go together.

Without waiting for a few people who were slightly embarrassed to meet and discuss what the result would be, some cavalry eagerly chased after them and shouted, "The Tang Army has caught up~~~"

On a hillside on the horse, several leaders looked at the Tang Army's iron cavalry in the distance behind them like a tide, and they all gasped.

This large area of Tang army that cannot be seen in the margins must at least be tens of thousands!

Guli Peiluo Khan looked blankly at the Tang Army's iron cavalry approaching quickly in the distance: "Is the Tang Emperor crazy?" Send all the cavalry out to hunt us down, what if the big cannibals cross the river? ”

No one responded to his words, and when Guli Peiluo Khan looked left and right suspiciously, he was stunned to find that his two companions had already slapped their horses and ran down the hill.

After taking the backbone of the gods, Peiluo Khan, hurriedly patted the horse and went down the mountain to his tribe.

At this time, whoever runs away first, the unlucky guy who is left behind will be caught up and become a hero who helps others escape.

There may be such heroes, but these noble heads are definitely not.

The big action of the Tang army was naturally detected by the big cannibals on the other side of the river, and their reactions and movements were also very fast.

By daybreak, the river crossing had already begun through the pontoon bridge.

At this time, the Great Eclipse was already the domain of the emerging Abbasid dynasty.

The one in charge of starting the war with the Tang Dynasty was his Khorasan governor Abu Abu.

The Khorasan region was an extremely important source of troops for the Abbasids, capable of mobilizing hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

And their high-level has long agreed that whoever can conquer Datang will be the master of Datang.

Therefore, after the reconquest of the Central Asian countries, the governor of Abu has been preparing to invade the four towns of Anxi.

This time, when he learned that the Tang army was coming, he did not hesitate to mobilize the main force to meet the battle.

Combined with the servant armies brought from the Tocharian states and the Central Asian states, the size of the army is estimated to be as high as nearly 300,000.

It was very difficult for such a large corps to cross the river with only a few pontoon bridges.

Governor Abu had been worried that the Don army would take advantage of their crossing of the river to make a surprise attack, in which case the soldiers and horses crossing the river would suffer very heavy losses.

What made him very puzzled was that Tang Jun did not have the slightest movement here.

Just watched quietly from dozens of miles away.

This look is that a whole day has passed.

Seeing that the sky was darkening, Governor Abu, who had calmed down considerably, hurriedly ordered that no one should stop, and that everyone should continue to cross the river.

It wasn't until noon the next day that most of the Great Food Army came to the other side.

Until this time, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army who had eaten lunch drank a bowl of wine, put on armor, and began to step forward to meet the battle with weapons.

In terms of numbers, it is natural that Dashi occupies an absolute advantage here.

Therefore, Governor Abu looked at the Tang army that pressed over, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he secretly rejoiced in his heart: "If you win this Tang army, you will be able to enter the four towns of Anxi, and then I will go to the distant Chang'an City, I will definitely be able to become the master of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Seeing that almost all of the Tang troops who appeared on the scene were foot soldiers, Governor Abu immediately ordered the cavalry to charge the Tang army foot soldiers.

Unlike the steppe tribes, who used cavalry for raiding tactics, the cavalry of the Great Eclipse not only rode tall horses, but also wore chain mail and wielded Damascus swords. Their main tactic was to charge directly with cavalry.

When human beings face the cavalry charge, they will always be subconsciously afraid.

If you run away and break up, it will be a pursuit battle.

If you are determined to face the battle, you will have to face the collision of tens of thousands of cavalry.

Governor Abu thought with some smugness, "How can there be any foot soldiers in this world who can withstand the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry?" ”

Not to mention, there really is.

Here, the Tang army saw tens of thousands of cannibal cavalry rushing in, and immediately began to arrange.

The armor soldiers half-knelt on the ground and stretched out a five-meter-long dragon lance, the tail handle inserted into the soil, and the thick body of the spear was raised diagonally to show a forty-five degree angle.

The long soldiers in the back row stretched out all kinds of lances, spears, axes, halberds, etc. from the back rows.

Further back, there is the shield wall listed by the shield-wielding warriors.

And behind the shield wall, there were the crossbowmen of the Tang army.

The reason why the crossbowmen did not stand at the front was because there were other people at the front.

Li Yunze carefully built and assembled five thousand Tang Mo sword soldiers from various strong armies!

These strange sword soldiers held their long hilts in both hands, like statues facing the surging Great Eater Cavalry.

As a newly rising dynasty, the Abbasids' armies were fairly determined to fight.

Their cavalry faced the hedgehog-like spear in the hands of the Tang army armorers, and did not flinch in fear, but kept screaming and waving the scimitars in their hands, and kept accelerating forward.

However, out of instinct, most of them still put the main direction of attack on the sword-wielding Mo Dao soldiers.

After all, compared to those hedgehog-like spears, Mo Dao Soldiers looked obviously better to fight.

Then, they saw what it means to be broken!

When the Great Eclipse Cavalry was about to collide with the Mo Sword Soldiers, countless dazzling swords flashed in front of him.

The Mo knife soldier waved the extremely sharp Mo knife in his hand and slashed down fiercely in front of him.

The extremely sharp blade, under the urging of the powerful force, was cut off even if he was wearing armor.

Thousands of Mo knives continued to fly, forming a storm of flesh and blood in front of the Tang Army's great array.

Li Siye, who was wearing the face armor, gritted his teeth, and through the hole in the face armor, he waved the scarlet Mo knife in his hand vigorously, constantly raising and chopping, and then lifting and chopping and repeating the cycle one after another.

Under the strong stimulation of adrenaline, the brave and unparalleled Mo sword soldiers cut countless Great Food Cavalry into pieces, and the flesh and blood that were constantly piling up in front of them even piled up to waist-high.

The brave performance of the Mo sword soldiers became the mainstay of the Tang Army's battle array like a rock.

The rest of the Tang army was not idle, and they carried the continuous impact of the Great Food Cavalry.

As the casualties continued to increase, the shock of the Great Eater cavalry could not bear the pressure and began to retreat gradually.

At this time, Li Yunze, who was watching the battle from behind, ordered in a flat voice, "Beat the drums and march into the army!" ”
