Chapter 104 Battle (five)

.The sky gradually became brighter.

The river water was a little cold at dawn. Although the horses were an animal that liked to swim, they were a little uncomfortable when they were led into the river and made a slight neigh. However, their performance was better than that of the big cannibal horses on the other side. The Tubo people had experience and stuffed the ears of the war horses and were not affected. However, several envoys did not say that, and Salem was not prepared.

It is also possible that they did not deliberately say that the great cannibals failed and led the front deep into Khorasan. Anyway, if such a large country returns home, the failure of a battle will not cause the country to fall home. This is beneficial to the Tubo people.

The huge explosion sounded, causing all the war horses to lose control.

The Tang army successfully seized the beach and was about to fight with real swords and guns, but they still couldn't do without war horses. They wanted to divide their troops to block the horses. At this time, the Dashi military camp was already in chaos.

Horses were led into the river. Although they were not comfortable, they were led by their master and continued to swim towards Henan by the reins.

The army returned to the shore and the horses also got on the shore. Salem saw many Tang troops riding on horseback on both sides, and the so-called civilians behind them also jogged all the way and rushed over. He knew that the truth was really coming back, and immediately sent a close confidant to notify the four battalions on the left and right, not to worry about whether the side roads were going to attack, and all of them moved closer to the central camp. He also ordered to forcibly defeat the army that had landed on the shore of the Tang Dynasty, and rushed back to the river when they were not crowded.

Luo Wu looked at it and also gave an order to make the two sides climb over the earth wall and support the Tang army who had landed ashore. One by one, the soldiers clumsily carried the catapult over, and as for the dozens of powerful large catapults, they had to stay. Standing in the rear army, they used fire return medicine again, and the Tang army in front also shot with bows and arrows.

A ** attack was fiercely suppressed. Several waves of attacks rushed to the Tang army camp, but at this time the Wuyou River was behind. The boat floated away. The soldiers who were water-like, including the Hezhong area, were only a few.

The soldiers were in a desperate situation, and they not only repelled the attacks of the great cannibals again and again, but also expanded the beach. More Tang dynasties back behind and crossed the Wuyou River. Especially with more than 100 large ships returning, they had to carry ferries for eight times and nine thousand soldiers at one time, and the speed was much faster than the small boat. When it came to counterattack, under the protection of the front, the rear army boarded the war horse, raised the horizontal sword and spear in their hands, and prepared to charge.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Salem replied helplessly: "Retreat, withdraw the camp."

The camp was also very solid. Not only was there a solid fence, but a trench was built to surround it. Try to hold on with a solid camp, and wait until the army of the fourth camp returned to the army and recovered the battle with the advantage of the number of people.

This is also a wise decision. Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, once it is all retracted back to the camp, the Tang army will bring unnecessary serious casualties. At this dawn, there are many cannibals and many Tang Dynasty soldiers. Too heavy sacrifices will cause trouble for the subsequent deployment.

In order to win, Li Jinxing and Guo Yuanzhen also crossed the river and commanded the battle.

At this time, the troops were still very weak. Under the repeated attacks of cannon fodder in front of Dashi, neither of them saw the intention of Dashi. Li Wei saw it in Hebei. At this time, the sky was bright and he could clearly see the situation on the other side.

Order immediately: "Blow the horn of the attack."

The sound of three long and one short horn sounded. Li Jinxing and Guo Yuanzhen were stunned for a moment, but without hesitation, he raised the weapon in his hand and said, "The big cannibal is going to escape, rush."

The Tang Dynasty army in front immediately flashed out a path, and thousands of people rushed towards the Dashi camp. Luo Wuzheng also cooperated and ordered the remaining soldiers to climb over the earth wall and join forces to launch an attack on the Dashi people.

The time is coming to win.

At this time, there was also a war between the east and west sides.

Hearing the continuous explosions, the soldiers became more confident and built a simple fortification based on the terrain. The soldiers from the left and right battalions also heard the explosions and soon learned about the arrival of the Tang army.

The intention was obvious, and it was to cut off our army and prevent them from supporting the middle lane. But at this time, Salem's order came, asking them not to act rashly, and to observe them before they could mobilize their troops. The left battalion general Muazi and the right battalion general Rashde hesitated for a moment.

This hesitation gave the Tang Dynasty army time to return to the army and complete the emergency repair of the fortifications.

The first thing that came to his reaction was Mu Aziz. He saw that all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty's Western Battalion left and rushed to the Central Camp, and sent people to observe carefully. At this time, it was almost dawn, and there was a gloomy light. He confirmed that it was an empty camp and immediately led his army to the Central Army. Along the way, he saw many small wooden boats floating downstream along the river. He didn't know what it meant, but he knew that a large number of Tang Dynasty troops had to return to the team to cross the river, otherwise he would not give up these small boats. At this time, he still had fantasies in his mind. The Tang Dynasty army did not return to the team, and at least 10,000 soldiers were transferred from the left and right border camps, and there was not much force to use them. Besides, the trench and wall of Guazhu Mountain would also play a delaying role.

He also encountered a group difficulty.

Xue Ne built a fortification here, and the troops were large, with more than 3,000 men, which was not at a disadvantage. Muaz ordered the infantry to raise their shields and launch an attack, but he was repeatedly defeated. After a stalemate, he received the second order from Salem.

I don’t know what the war is going on ahead, but with my subordinates, if I want to break through this line of defense, even if I can rush over, there will be no more people left. So I rested and notified the border camp behind with a fast horse. No matter whether the Tang Dynasty people attacked, I retreated, whether they fought and retreated, or retreated smoothly, and kept the central camp. The result of the stalemate was beneficial to the Tang army, so Xue Na asked the soldiers to rest, and then acted as a warning, watching the movements of the return of the Great Food Army.

Rashde woke up and realized it a little late, and he did not see the boat that the people of the Tang Dynasty didn't want. His character was also steady and he felt something was wrong, so he sent a soldier who was good at swimming across the river and went to check it out. At this time, there was no one in the Tang camp, leaving only a tent, some supplies, and even all the weapons. But when he saw sacks that had not been opened, this was the supplies sent today. When he opened it, he was curious and opened it and saw that there were everything inside, dead grass, branches, and rotten grass roots.

Only after he was mentally ill did he send his baggage here and then move it back!

Giving supplies is fake, confusion is real, so that the troops can be mobilized to the middle. Through the river, the scout shouted out the situation loudly.

Rashde was extremely angry and sent a few soldiers who were water-like to swim over and let them burn all the camp with fire. Not much supplies were left, a small amount of food, the soldiers' clothes and luggage, tents, some medicinal materials, and horse's forage.

Several big cannibals were engaged in sabotage activities, including three Persians. They really attracted Li Wei's attention and sent two teams of cavalry back to observe. They were worried that the big cannibals would have a rash ghost, regardless of the safety of the central camp, and could cross the river at this time. The East Battalion was fine, just burn it. How could there be no loss in the war? It was just how much gold and silk was spent on the bombing just now? But they were afraid that they would threaten the civilians of the East Battalion, even though they also had martial arts weapons and armor in their hands, once the big cannibals crossed the river and attacked them, it would be like sheep that was slaughtered by them.

When the two teams of cavalry returned, they were so angry that they were so angry that they immediately surrounded them, tied them up, and dragged them all the way to the middle camp. The three Persians were still shouting, "We are Persians." The leader's lieutenant was even more angry. Grandma, the old man restored the country for your Persia, but you little bastards were working hard for the great cannibals and fighting against our Tang army to the end. They cut off their heads with one knife. This also shows Li Wei's influence. Such stupid things have been done in previous dynasties in the past. If they do not change, they will continue to do it in the future.

Li Wei's policy in Qinghai finally had an impact on some soldiers.

However, Persia is different from the Turkic people in the East Hui Turkic people, and Qinghai. The Turkic people in the East Hui Turkic people have no medicine to cure them. Unless they destroy their clans, they will have the idea of ​​restoring their country in one day. The Turkic people in Qinghai are even more distorted with Tubo. If they don’t apply ruthless medicine, they cannot be shocked, and they will be devastated.

Persia has always been rebelling and has always expressed its closeness to the Tang Dynasty. Of course, once they can really defeat the Dashi, they will become stronger in the future, and it is hard to say. But in the past few decades, they have been very friendly to the Tang Dynasty. So Li Wei adopted the policy of appeasement.

The purpose of this entanglement established in front of the city of Talas is the same. Different situations and different treatments. It must be soft when it should be soft, and when it should be hard. The effect is also very good at the moment. The Persian merchants who lost their ships all sent people to express their opinions secretly and would not care. On the contrary, as long as the people of the Tang Dynasty need it, they will also provide assistance to the Tang Dynasty.

Muazi also understood why after so long, he only heard the urgent news in the previous few times. However, the sound of the fire-retard medicine kept coming, but no urgent news came. This was the Tang Dynasty's bluffing, asking the confidants to send orders, and the entire border camp army formed the camp and returned to the middle route immediately. The place where the decisive battle had nothing to do with the border camp, but was in the middle camp. Once the middle camp was lost, the entire army was wiped out.

The confidant left on horseback, and he sent another order, and all the soldiers set up their camp and rushed towards the central camp. Halfway through the scout of Salem, there was no need to say anything else, and continue to rush forward.

Xin Chengsi took a longer preparation time and the terrain was favorable. There was a sand mountain that was not high and led to a far-reaching oasis in the south. There was also a small water diversion channel in front of the sand mountain, but the water in the canal was not deep or wide, and it could not play much delaying role.

But it will help. It is very calm now. The more critical it is, even if it is a minute, it will be good. All the earth bridges will be removed. A line of defense was laid on the sand mountain. A big cannibal came in a while. Like the troops on the western route, Rashde was also blocked. He had more troops than Muarz, but all the combat-capable cavalry were transferred to the border camp, and all the infantry were in their hands, mostly Persians. After building several pontoon bridges, he delayed for a while. Even when they built the pontoon bridge, Xin Chengsi took the initiative to rush down the mountain and shoot with a bow and crossbow, causing some small panic.

The floating bridge was built, and the sand mountain was not tall, but after all, it had the advantage of being condescending. Because of the long time, Xin Chengsi led his men to prepare some stones from this bare sand mountain. He pounced several times but failed.

Rashde left late, but he sent the news to the border camp first. The leader of the border camp also felt something was wrong. His general returned to his team and retreated inward, avoiding the attack of the martial arts weapon of the Tang Dynasty ships. The Tang Dynasty ship had to cruise in the river. In addition, he received reinforcements, so he felt at ease. At this time, he heard the explosion of the central army, and was far away, unable to hear clearly, and it seemed to be right. So he looked at the other shore suspiciously. The Tang Dynasty people on the other shore were still struggling, putting the boat, and then taking off the boat again. It was like a group of mobs, and it became a difference between the fierce momentum at the beginning.

After receiving the notice from Rashder, he knew that he was fooled. He secretly hated himself for being timid and afraid of things. In fact, he has been at a disadvantage until now, including Salem's heart being tense. When the Tang Dynasty really launched an attack, almost all generals would feel nervous. It is not surprising that he has such a performance.

First, all the cavalry were concentrated, with about 3,000 people, and rushed to the central camp first. He led the rest of the troops back to the team and immediately dispatched the camp to the west. Sure enough, he saw all the big cannibals rising up, and the ships swimming in the river turned around and stopped playing, heading west.

Almost made Haller crazy.

By the time more than 3,000 cavalry arrived at Shashan, the sky had already brightened, and a red sun rose two highs. Rashder ordered the more than 3,000 cavalry to take advantage of their speed advantage, go around from the south, and circle in a circle. Go to the back of the Tang Dynasty, attack on both sides, and take down the group of Tang soldiers.

With a very clever strategy, the reason why the great cannibals can continue to expand is that many famous generals emerged. The military camp includes many middle and low-level generals, and has a very high command level.

Xin Chengsi may not be as good as Rash. If it were worse, he would only fight to the death. But after following Li Wei for so long, he had contacted many outstanding generals and learned some things. So he said, "Everyone, we don't need to support it for a long time. Listen to our Tang army returning to the army and stop bombing, it's time to defeat the main force of Dashi. Show your courage. You all have great achievements in this battle.

He was really confused.

This encouragement inspired the soldiers and made some arrangements while riding the cavalry without going around the back of the sand mountain. The two armies fought again, which was very tragic and everyone was fighting desperately. Rashde did not open this passage and could not advance, so he could only send three thousand cavalry to support him. Xin Chengsi must return to defend, which was Li Wei's death order before leaving. Even if the last person was left, the Dashi Army could not be allowed to return to the army to join.

A very important move, Xue Ne is very relaxed, but it also plays an important role. Once the big food reinforcements arrive, it will not only strengthen their strength, but also drive the morale of the whole big cannibal. This battle will be in danger. Even if it wins a big victory, the misfortune will become very heavy.

This sandy mountain became a place of death again. The soldiers on both sides kept falling down, and blood almost dyed the hillsides on both sides red.

The obstacles of the two Tang Dynasty troops returning to the team won the chance of victory for the middle army returning to the team.

The sudden attack of the Tang army caused the cannibal to panic. Instead, Salem's order was abnormal. The army behind wanted to escape into the camp and blindly followed the mind. Seeing the Tang Dynasty army coming on horseback, they thought the barracks were the safest place. The army in front had not been notified yet and continued to fight back, but in a blink of an eye, they saw the army behind being fleeing, and they were not sure, so they put down their martial arts weapons and started to escape.

There were soldiers in the Tang Dynasty shouting, and it was the soldiers in the Hezhong area who shouted in Persian, "Surrender and not kill them, and let you go home." Not only were the soldiers on both sides shouting, but Luo Wuzheng also asked the escaped prisoners to shout. So many Persians put down their weapons and kneeled down to surrender.

The scene was in chaos.

Salem knew it was over. This situation was a sign of a great defeat. In the past, he had a great food and annihilated the Persians in this way. He also understood the intention of the hateful emperor across the river. He first attacked the east and west one by one, mobilizing his troops continuously. As he wanted, the 25,000 most elite soldiers were not in the east or west, but on the way. He then used all the previous arrangements to launch the final battle.

Once the Central Army was defeated, the East and West Army troops also lost. Then the Eastern Army returned to the army and it was difficult to protect themselves. Thinking of this, I was discouraged and made the last choice. When the Tang Dynasty army returned to the army before it had completely crossed the river, I led some troops back to the army to protect themselves and wait for reinforcements from the rear to arrive. But my career was over. It was also rare. If it were other army returned to the army, whether it was the coalition forces of various countries in the river, the Western Turkic army, the Persian army, or the ordinary Tang Dynasty army, there was no need to persist until now. After so many days of torture, it is possible that after a sudden bombardment, the Tang army would be defeated when it landed successfully.

When the head coach fled, no one resisted. Those who surrendered, those who escaped, and those who defeated deserters were everywhere in the mountains.

"Cross the river", Li Wei said to several Byzantine messengers.

"No need, let's go back right away." Matthew said.

Seeing that now, the Tang Dynasty must have won a great victory in this battle. I stayed for several days and heard some situations. The main force of Dashi returned here and was wiped out in this battle. Either some troops in the east returned to the team, but in the enemy-occupied area, Tocharo was not welcomed. At this time, the Dashi people were defeated, and with a Tang army in the east, these troops did not have a good life to return to the team. So Dashi could almost wipe out the main force of Khorasan and Sestan, and Tang Chao was just about to reply to Khorasan. Don’t forget that they still had the ace of the Persian prince in their hands, and there were still a large number of rebels who could use it.

However, the Tang Dynasty has a long way, which is a disadvantage. It is very likely that as this emperor said, a deal with the cannibals was made.

I believe that after this battle, the Great Cannibal dare not underestimate the Tang Huiren. After all, how many troops have they used? There are endless military return troops in the rear to dispatch. It is possible that Khorasan's independence will be accused of the independence of the country. So in order to explain to the country, Byzantium will usher in a crazy blow to the Great Shi.

If he did not send troops at this time and join forces with the Tang Dynasty people to resolve some of the difficulties of this emperor, he would have a new interest in the wealthier areas of Sindh and Markland. Because of cultural differences, it was believed that he regarded Li Wei as Alexander. However, when Li Wei talked to them, he deliberately revealed his interest in the two areas by the sea, which confused him.
