Xie Tong turned over and pulled out the green steel sword and said, "Brothers, rush with me!"

This Tang army stormed from the flank.

This time in the battle, the situation is much more severe than before, after all, in the large camp, it is a dangerous defense, and the strengths of the wolf cavalry cannot be brought into play, but this time it is different, the cavalry can run and kill at will, without restrictions.

Xie Tong led the army to rush over and directly join the battlefield.

In fact, this tired army that had gone through battle was more powerful than the Tang army guarded by Shen.

The Tang army guarded by Shen was overwhelmed by the enemy, and had no power to resist, becoming lambs to be slaughtered.

Xie Tong looked over and saw the corpses of the Tang army all over the field, and he retreated in a panic.

Xie Tong rushed to the front, pulled out the green steel sword, attacked left and right, and cut down two cavalrymen in an instant.

Guan Yong led the troops, armed with spears, and rushed to kill in a straight line, directly knocking down a platoon of cavalry, temporarily alleviating the one-sided situation.

Xie Tong opened his throat and said in a loud voice, "Brothers, gather here."

When Shen Huwei saw Xie Tong coming to help, he was a little relieved in his heart, and hurriedly commanded his brother to move closer to Xie Tong.

Xie Tong's rush and killing hit the Turkic wolf army from the side, and immediately made them suffer from the enemy.

Chongli did not join the battlefield, he rode a horse and quietly observed the changes on the field, and suddenly a Tang army was killed in the oblique stab, the combat ability of this Tang army was obviously much higher than that of Fang Cai, and it directly messed up the cavalry's formation, he laughed indifferently, Xie Tong, what kind of trick is this playing! Are the soldiers divided into two ways? Then the old man will let you taste the pain.

He shouted, "Divide a force and give me a hard fight against the reinforcements!"

Relying on the numerical advantage, the wolf army quickly divided a cavalry unit and rushed towards Xie Tong and others.

And the pressure on Shen Huwei's side is even greater, the Tang army under him has been killed by the Turks, and there is no power to resist at all, and it is in a state of slaughter.

After a stick of incense, Xie Tong's Tang army gradually lost its strength and slowly retreated, Xie Tong had no time to take care of Shen guarding them, it was worth getting closer to one place and retreating towards the area where the gunpowder was buried.

At this time, Xie Tong was difficult to grasp the form on the field, and the Tang army guarded by Shen was killed by the Turkic wolf army, and he had the heart to save but was not enough.

The attention of the wolf army was all on Shen Guard's side, after all, they had more troops, and as Xie Tong slowly withdrew from the battlefield, Shen Guard was surrounded by regiments.

Guan Yong reported that the explosives had been buried and could be detonated at any time.

Xie Tong was relieved and said, "Immediately back."

The Tang army only waited for his order, and as soon as the order came out, they all retreated back.

Xie Tong glanced back, and in the firelight, Shen Guard's figure gradually blurred, and they had been defeated.

Xie Tong exerted the internal strength of his whole body and shouted, "Chongli, Xie Tong is here, if you are brave enough, let the horse kill you!" He pinned his hopes on Chongli's revenge and turned to attack them.

This shout covered up all the shouts and killings, and everyone heard Xie Tong's extremely provocative shout.

Chongli frowned slightly, Xie Tong teased him again and again, which made him unbearable, and now he openly provoked, which made him extremely angry.

He immediately gave the order, and the wolf army gave up the siege and chased after Xie Tong instead.

Chongli also followed behind the troops, he wanted to witness Xie Tong being captured alive, and he wanted to cut off Xie Tong's flesh piece by piece.

In fact, these 4,000 Tang troops have already been slaughtered.

Xie Tong saw that the enemy was swarming with torches, he didn't dare to stop, he hurriedly clamped the horse's belly, and ran desperately.

Xie Tong passed through the place where the gunpowder was buried and continued to run forward, and the wolf army's horses were faster, and they quickly caught up with Xie Tong.

Seeing half of the enemy rushing through the gunpowder area, Xie Tong hurriedly gestured and shouted Guan Yong's name.

Guan Yong saw Xie Tong calling him, and he already understood the general situation, and hurriedly ordered the gunpowder to be ignited.

On the dark Eguna Plain, a sky-high fire suddenly erupted, and in an instant, the roaring explosion instantly drowned out the shouts of killing.

The strong black oil gunpowder was detonated, forming a sea of fire in an instant, directly swallowing the Turkic wolf army.

The location of the explosion was in the center of the Turkic army, which directly divided the Turkic wolf army into three parts.

Before Chongli stepped into the explosion area, he secretly shouted that he was in danger and saved his life. But today is already a definite defeat, and he has no power to return to the sky.

The Turkic wolf army in the sea of fire kept shouting, and he could even see the soldiers covered in flames, falling from their horses and rolling on the ground, but to no avail.

For a while, the screams were endless.

The explosion continued, the flames slowly expanded, and the dry branches and leaves of the grassland were also ignited by the flames, spreading out in all directions.

Chongli knew that the general trend had gone, this was a rare fiasco in Turkic history, and the troops of the 40,000 wolf army, who was full of confidence before the expedition, became history and became a bubble.

He counted the cavalry around him, and there were less than five thousand men, which was a great blow to him. Chongli was carried directly from the horse, and he fell to his knees, weeping bitterly.

The soldiers pulled him up and said, "National Teacher, this is all Xie Tong's too cunning, it's not your fault!"

Chongli got up, he seemed to be ten years older, and at this moment he understood that Xie Tong was not as easy to deal with as he imagined, and the victory that seemed to be close at hand was actually very far away. In terms of military command, he is really a big step behind Xie Tong.

Chongli Lao tearfully said, "This son is not a thing in the pool, it will be a big disaster in the future, the old man personally asked the Great Khan for guilt this time, no matter what, he can't return to the Central Plains alive, let's go!"

Xie Tong's retreating men and horses converged with the soldiers who had buried the gunpowder, and then turned their heads to counterattack, after all, there were still thousands of wolf troops stranded outside the sea of fire.

But these wolf armies were all frightened and stupid, and the time of the day, the two fire attacks, left an indelible impression on their minds.

It is difficult for them to accept that tens of thousands of fellow soldiers and soldiers were buried in the flames.

In the face of Xie Tong's counterattack, they were full of hatred, none of them were willing to surrender, and they all regarded death as home.

It was a pointless fight, and the battle lasted for half an hour, and when the last enemy fell, his eyes were still open in disbelief.

The fire soared into the sky, and the Eguna Plain, which had been silent for hundreds of years, became the first battle in which the Tang Empire sent troops outside the fortress.

After Xie Tong led his troops to annihilate the stubborn Turkic wolf army, he was plagued by the fire and could not detect the situation on Shen's side, so he had to rest on the other side of the sea of fire while waiting for the fire to become smaller.

The fire continued until dawn, and when the dead grass and trees burned to ashes, the fire became smaller, and only sporadic fires remained on the plains.

Xie Tong hurriedly ordered Guan Yong to clean up the battlefield and check if there were any surviving soldiers.

He joined the ranks, and as they walked through the scorched earth, they saw corpses everywhere, a foul smell in the air, and the Turkic warriors were all burned and deformed, as were the horses.

Xie Tong couldn't bear to look at this, passing through this area, it was the place where Shen Huwei was besieged by the wolf army last night, although it was not as miserable as in the sea of fire, but it was still miserable, the Tang army was full of corpses, Xie Tong could hardly imagine what the psychological condition of the Tang army was like in this one-sided massacre, and whether that kind of fear could bravely attack his heart.

Just as he hesitated, Guan Yong shouted on the battlefield, "Found it, found it!"

Xie Tong hurriedly ran over, only to see that Shen Guard's eyes were closed, he was no longer breathing, and there was an extremely deep wound on his lower abdomen.

Guan Yong said in a low voice, "General, Shen Huwei has died on the battlefield"

Xie Tong sighed and said, "He is the only one who died on the battlefield, this battle on the Eguna Plain is the first battle for us to open up foreign trade, and now even the Turkic wolf army has been defeated at our feet, who are we afraid of! Guan Yong, let's bury the dead brothers in a place with good feng shui! They are all heroes of my Tang Empire! You are immortal!"

After Guan Yong got the order, he went respectfully.

Xie Tong gathered the army and defeated the Turkic wolf army this time, the most terrifying force in this grassland, making the future bright, any other race, if they have bad intentions against the Tang army, they must also check whether they have this strength.

Xie Tong summoned the relevant leaders to study the next step.

Due to the two battles and two victories, Xie Tong has become the god of war in their hearts, as long as it is his idea, there will be no objections.

Xie Tong briefly talked about his thoughts, they are already a tired army, and now their combat effectiveness is low, only two thousand people, it is difficult to make great achievements, and the top priority is to catch up with King Wu's army, merge with them, and become a powerful military force again.

But at the moment, there are many things that bother them.

King Wu's army is all cavalry, unlike their group of half-cavalry and half-infantry, plus King Wu's current step, it is difficult to catch up with King Wu in the short term.

More importantly, with the problem of grain, grass and water sources, they no longer have much grain in stock, and if they can't catch up with King Wu, I'm afraid they will all starve to death in the desert.

After Xie Tong finished talking about these situations, everyone fell silent.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, this is an ironclad fact, and eating and drinking have become the biggest obstacle!

Even Hong Shan, who has always been smart, has become silent.

Guan Yong suddenly said, "General, Guan has an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible or not."

Xie Tong smiled and said, "Brother Guan, if you have something to say, it's better than me, a clueless person."

Guan Yong said, "At present, we still have more than 400 horses in our hands, what I mean is that it is better to slaughter some horses, as rations, horse skins can be made into water bags after simple processing, and water can be stored, so that both problems will be solved, and the last general will roughly estimate that a hundred horses will be slaughtered, and these horse meat can ensure that we eat Mobei."

Xie Tong suddenly felt that what he said made sense.

But he was very worried, he faintly felt that water would be a huge hidden danger, but with King Wu as a guide in front, he could save a lot of trouble, so he insisted on Guan Yong's opinion, and said with a smile, "Let's go"

After everyone was ready, they set off slowly and headed north along the plains.

As we continued to move forward, there was less and less vegetation on the ground, and the trees were no longer visible, and the dense grass vegetation began to become sparse!

Three days later, as the ground under their feet turned into grains of sand, this Tang army officially entered the desert.

Xie Tong looked into the distance, only to see an endless yellow, to the other end of the earth, and the blue sky in one place, I don't know how far this terrible desert is.

And the yellow sand in the sky, accompanied by the scorching wind and waves, swept in. Blowing on people's faces is more painful than the cold wind melons on their faces. What's even more depressing is that there are no landmark buildings here at all, and as far as the eye can see, it is all the same yellow sand, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction and distance. If it weren't for being able to see the sun rise in the east and set in the west, Xie Tong would have gone crazy.

He clearly felt the dryness and bitterness of the sea of sand, and the troops walked on the endless sea of sand, and could hardly see anything but the blue sky.

The desert of September is even more terrifying than the desert of summer. Because it was late autumn, the contrast in temperature was very great, the day was scorching hot, and the night was extremely cold, which was not found in the Eguna Plain.

After a day of walking, the sun was almost scorching on their heads all day, and the people who roasted were wilting one by one, and the sand under their feet was even more unbearable.

There were not many tents left, and after camping, only the women and the wounded were left to use, and the rest of the people slept in the open with food, and the horses were tied to one place, and the city was surrounded in a circle to prevent them from fleeing in fright.

After dinner, Xie Tong came to Hong Shan and Cai Wei's tent, he sat on the soft futon, and said with a smile, "Hey, this woman's treatment is different, it's really comfortable to lie down here!"

Hong Shan looked at Ailang, the three of them were now in an extremely ambiguous state, which made people feel a special taste, making her reluctant to destroy. She smiled and said, "Could it be that the commander-in-chief of Tang Tang's army, General Xie, doesn't even have a tent?

Xie Tong spread his hands and said, "What about the commander-in-chief! With so many wounded and female dependents, you can't let them camp!"

There were only two women in the entire army, and the orientation was already very obvious.

Hong Shan smiled and said nothing, she knew Ailang's thoughts very well, but Cai Wei was now her good sister, and she couldn't help the abuse.

Cai Wei said coldly: "General Xie's noble sentiments make Cai Wei admire." However, Cai Wei thinks that the general can live in a tent, and now the soldiers outside think that we are your family, and if you don't live here, you will be criticized if you spread the word."

Xie Tong was overjoyed and said, "Is this true? Cai Wei, you have finally opened your mind!"

Cai Wei showed a mesmerizing smile at Xie Tong, and said, "It's not that Cai Wei is enlightened, you and Shan'er are husband and wife who have ascended to the throne, and it is normal to live together, if Cai Wei doesn't even have this awareness, how can she still break into the rivers and lakes! At night, you can rest! I'm going out!" )
