Section 387 Tang Xuanjia
Beside him, eight of the Khan's guards looked out of the watchtower. They watched as the Tibetans in golden helmets and armor in www.biquge.info rushed and killed unscrupulously in their own phalanx, forcing their own army to retreat incessantly, almost falling into the black water.
Several of the Khan's guards began to be suspicious of the right general in front of them, and cast suspicious glances at him. They all thought to themselves, with the Great Khan's wisdom of knowing and employing people, how could he hand over the commander's military power, which was related to the life and death of the Khitan Eight Tribes, to such a Central Plains person. If it weren't for this Central Plains person, how could the Khitan army have such a big defeat.
Liu Yu could see his reaction, but he didn't want to explain anything, because his only explanation was coming!
Other Khan's guards were daydreaming, and Liu Yu could tell from their words that they were fantasizing about how good it would be if there was a mutiny of soldiers in the rear of the Tibetans. He smiled slightly, said nothing, and continued his wait.
In the end, what these daydreaming Khan guards were waiting for was not a mutiny among the soldiers of the Tibetans, but a fire that broke out in the rear of the Tibetans.
The fire came so inexplicably that it left everyone defenseless. The fire blew along the south wind, ignited the meadows in its pass, and struck directly at the back of the Tibetan army.
Flames soared into the air, and smoke erupted. No matter how strong the army is, it is powerless in the face of this fire.
Realizing the danger, the Tibetans desperately charged southward in an attempt not to be overtaken by the fire behind them. Under their desperate attack, the Khitans were even more unable to resist. The formations of the left, front, and right teams fighting each other were completely torn apart by the Tibetans, and they were in danger of being destroyed at any time.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Yu, who was the commander-in-chief, felt that the corners of his mouth were a little dry, and he turned to one of the Khan's personal guards and ordered, "Blow the horn, it's time for our heavy cavalry to be dispatched." ”
On the battlefield, a long horn sounded in the wind, and the sound of the horn pinned the last hope in the hearts of these Khitan soldiers.
About a quarter of an hour later, a Khitan heavy cavalry of about 5,000 men appeared on the west side of the battlefield, and under the leadership of Yelu Daliu, slowly but steadily advanced towards the right flank of the Tibetans. A bloody road was opened in the place where he passed, and the army formation of the Tubo people was cut in half, and the combat strength of the Tubo people was greatly reduced.
The sudden appearance of these 5,000 Khitan heavy armored cavalry successfully slowed down the offensive of the Tubo people against the Khitan army. The left, center, and right armies took the opportunity to merge in one place, facing each other from a distance with the main army on the shore of Kurosawa, supporting each other, and the Khitan army on the shore of Kurosawa was temporarily stable.
Seeing that the situation on the battlefield had changed, Nogi immediately beckoned and ordered a dozen generals and two thousand men and horses under his command to temporarily stop their actions, "Wait, maybe we don't have to surrender to the Tibetans." Once again, the dream of Khan burned in his heart.
At the time of life and death, the Tubo people set their sights on the five thousand Khitan heavy horses that suddenly appeared. They understood that as long as this army was destroyed, the Khitans would have no chance to turn over.
The 20,000 golden horsemen turned their horses around and rushed straight towards the direction of the Khitan heavy horse. According to the swift and flexible fighting style of this army, the five thousand Khitan heavy cavalry were just blood food to stuff the teeth.
Just as the 20,000 golden cavalry was about to pounce on the 5,000 heavily armored cavalry led by Yerod, another mysterious army suddenly appeared on the horizon on the right side of the battlefield. The soldiers in that army were all dressed in black clothes and armor, and although they were not many in number, they were divided into fourteen columns and marched side by side.
A big flag fluttering in the wind in the army, with four big characters written on it, "Tang Xuanjia"!
Unlike all the Tubo and Khitan armies on the battlefield at this moment, there was silence in this very small Tang Xuanjia army, no one shouted, let alone roared, everyone was quietly lying on horseback, silent as if the majestic Baiyin Han Mountain in the distance.
They marched in a low-key manner, as fast as thunder, but the sound they made was lighter than a breeze on the prairie. It wasn't until they approached the eastern side of the Tibetan army that the unsuspecting Tibetans spotted them.
Now there is a fire in the rear of the Tibetan army, the Khitan heavy cavalry on the west side is attacking, and the south side is holding on to the Khitan main formation, so the east flank has become their only way to retreat. If this retreat route is also blocked, then the Tubo army will become a turtle in an urn, and defeat is probably only a matter of time.
Therefore, the 20,000 golden cavalry had to temporarily give up the attack on the 5,000 Khitan heavy armored cavalry led by Yelu Daliu, and turned to pounce on this very small Tang Xuanjia army. The Golden Cavalry is the lion of a hundred battles in the Tubo Kingdom, and has rarely fought with other armies. For them, it was just easy to destroy the demoralized and wilting Tang army in front of them.
As long as the reinforcements of the Khitans are eliminated and the Khitan heavy cavalry on the west side is eliminated, then it will only be a matter of time before the Khitan army is captured.
Conquer the steppes in one fell swoop!
The 20,000 golden horsemen rushed towards this Tang Xuanjia with almost no worries, their formation was compact and their tactics were sophisticated, and they were worthy of being the first elite division of the Tubo Kingdom.
Just in front of them, the very small Tang Xuanjia Army was as sluggish as a new army that had never fought before. The generals of the other army did not take any measures to deal with the rushing Golden Army.
It turned out to be fourteen columns, but now it is still fourteen columns, and it hasn't changed at all!
Twenty thousand golden horsemen slaughtered into this demented and sluggish Tang army without any suspense, and they danced the golden knives in their hands, ready to start a bloody and painful killing.
However, this ridiculous Tang Xuanjia army continued to move forward as if they didn't see them, it was just hiding their ears and stealing the bell, stupid!
The two armies are staggered, and their weapons intersect.
The soldiers of the Golden Cavalry let out a roar, and in contrast to the unusual silence of this Tang army.
After a fierce battle, this Tang army still quietly advanced in a formation of fourteen columns. Behind them, 20,000 golden human and horse corpses were scattered across the grassland at sunset.
The Tibetans on the battlefield had never seen such a murderous army, and a strong sense of panic quickly began to spread among them. They didn't dare to look directly at this Tang army, so they began to attack the Khitan army on the banks of Kurosawa. In a vain attempt to defeat the Chinese army in one fell swoop, in order to get the last chance to turn the tables.
At this moment, there are still more than 500,000 Tibetan troops, and they are still as large as a monster in front of the Khitans, who are inferior in numbers. They began to attack the Khitan army on the banks of Kurosawa in unison, and the army was accompanied by the golden gilded sedan chair of the old king of Tubo.
Under the attack of the army led by the old king of Tubo himself, the Khitan army retreated one after another, and hundreds of soldiers had fallen into the black sea behind them. In the chaos, only the chariot of the Khan King and the towering watchtower in the Khitan Chinese army stood still.
