Chapter 81 Decisive Battle

3days ago traverse Novels 3
Dafeichuan, south of the West Sea (Qinghai Lake), is an ancient battlefield where countless loyal souls and bones have been buried.

Now more than 100,000 living people gather here. The Tuyuhun Iron Cavalry led by Murong Xuan camped in a higher terrain area; another 40,000 Tang army infantry led by eunuch Yang Sixu to build a village in another place three miles away.

This is definitely not a good place to camp and defend. It is about a hundred miles away from Dafei Ridge to the north and about three hundred miles away from the raided cavalry led by Xue Chongxun.

Stopped in the middle of the center and was forced to do so due to the situation, and there was no time to catch up or retreat to Dafeiling.

As expected, three days after Xue Chongxun pursued Wuhai City, the Tubo Light Cavalry appeared near the Tang Army Camp in the north.

Both the Tang army battalions were on guard against the baggage and waited for the situation to develop.

After the arrival of the Tubo soldiers, there was no Gu Tuyuhun camp, and they all rushed to the Tang army camp with thunder. The Tang army had no danger and had all the infantry to defend.

The Tubo army raided and attacked from all directions with its maneuver advantage, and the battle began just after encountering the enemy.

After Murong Xuan in the Tuyuhun King's tent, he said: The two battalions thought it was a pincer force. Now that the Tubo soldiers are attacking, our army is attacking to support the Tang army, putting the Tubo army in a situation of fighting on both sides.

The minister said: I am afraid that some tribes in the army will not be willing to take the initiative to attack the Tubo army.The reason why the Tubo people did not attack our army but went straight to the Tang army was this. If they attacked our army, the Tang army would definitely fight and attack twice; on the contrary, our army would easily be lazy to fight.

Murong Xuan said: Before the war, he had a word with the King of Jin in the Tang Dynasty, and he looked at each other with Yang Sixu to help each other. Now the war is within expectations. How can we passively and lazy and lose our opportunity?The king ordered the troops to go to each army, and each army dispatched half of the cavalry to attack the Tubo flanks!

After the military order was issued, the Tuyuhun tribes were slow to react, and less than half of the tribes sent troops to gather in half a day.

Because they were going to rescue the Tang army, many people were unwilling and dissatisfied, and were not ready to rebel, so they could only deal with things passively.

Yang Sixu's troops fought hard on all sides on the high ground three miles away. Even if they defeated the invading enemy, they could not pursue and expand the results in time. The battle was very difficult, but the Tuyuhun Camp in the west was slow to see any movement.

It was useless for Murong Xuan to constantly urge the generals of various departments in the tent of the king. The ministers had no choice but to do so at this time the enemy was in front of him, and they did not dare to make too radical suggestions to avoid causing civil strife.

Murong Xuan asked again: How many horse teams have they assembled?

The minister said: It was supposed to be mobilized for 50,000 cavalry, but now it is less than 20,000 cavalry on standby.

Murong Xuan frowned and looked at the expectation in front of him for a moment and was silent for a moment, saying: I will give another order, the entire army will be mobilized, and those who are willing to go to the war will be on standby immediately!

After the order was spread throughout the battalions, Murong Xuan ordered people to take out an old pair of armor and let the servants put it on.The ministers hurriedly knelt down and advised: The central army is full of fierce generals, so the king does not have to take risks.

If I lead my troops in the forefront, if I ignore the safety of the Khan, I am passive and lazy in the battle behind me, I will not be my Tuyuhun tribe from now on!Murong Xuan said decisively.

So Murong Xuan put on heavy iron armor. He was not in good health and was not very old. After putting on the armor left by his ancestors, it made it difficult for him to walk, so he could not even get on the horse and still could only help him.

He put on a white cloak, a helmet mask, and led his personal army to slowly leave the tent.

In front of the central army, a huge golden totem was raised high, which was the unique symbol of the Khan. When the flag was hung up, the cavalry gathered together.

Murong Xuan ordered a minister to lead 30,000 cavalry to stay and prepare for war, and authorized the rebellion in the camp to attack.He led his 20,000 cavalry to slowly leave the camp and march eastward.

After a while, more tribes came to the direction of the king's flag with their troops...

Because the Khan came out in person, if they did not follow the Khan, they would not abandon the king but be abandoned.

Murong Xuan was relieved to see this situation, and the crisis finally eased.

The sea of ​​people followed the huge golden statue of Tuyuhun. It shone more and more under the sun, as if it had an invisible mysterious power and majesty.

The Tubo soldiers besieged the Tang army camp had to rescue and divide their troops to resist the sea of ​​cavalry in Tuyuhun.

Soon the Tuyuhun camp came out from both sides, and a large group of cavalry rushed towards the Tubo people.

The Tang army infantry teams in the distance were also advancing like walls amid the drums.

……

To the south of Wuhai City, hundreds of thousands of troops confronted each other on the continuous Gobi desert, and the two sides fought tentatively all day long.

Xue Chongxun did not order a fierce attack, and he was still waiting for news from the North Line with a little concern.

The next morning, the emergency report finally came, and the messenger ran to the central army and shouted: Report!The Tubo Light Cavalry attacked the rear army's camp and was defeated by the coalition forces!

When the generals cheered when they heard this, the vertical lines between Xue Chongxun's eyebrows gradually stretched out, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: Now we have no worries, just look at this battle, and orders to prepare for the war!

Xue Chongxun did it as soon as he said that, and within a while, the drums of the central army shook the world. The cavalry units of dozens of regiments of the vanguard set up attack formations and slowly left the camp and marched forward.

The regiments marched calmly and walked 300 steps ahead of the Tubo army, because the Tubo army had almost no weapons and could reach 300 steps.

Then the Tang army and horses launched a charge from a distance of 300 steps and rushed towards the enemy. The battle that began in the center immediately ushered in the decisive battle moment of thousands of troops.

The galloping war horse charged at a speed of ten steps per blink of an eye (second) and approached like flying.

The three hundred steps of charge started, and the front line rushed to the Tubo army in a short time in just one fifth of the incense stick (one minute). In such a short time, the opponent had only had time to ride and shoot in a mess, causing minimal casualties to the Tang cavalry in iron armor.

The long first row of lancers instantly poured into the enemy group, and the people in front of them were suddenly overturned.The second wave arrived in an instant, and the impact continued for dozens of rounds.

In the vast sea of ​​Tubo soldiers, the unswerving knights were as small as ants.

The ants shake the tree, but the Tubo army is not a tree. This continuous charge dies every moment, and the psychological shock caused is imaginable. The Tubo army quickly became in chaos in front of it.

At this time, a part of the left wing of Tubo rushed towards him. The Tang army blew the gongs and flags, and the vanguard quickly adjusted his horse and ran backward.

A moment later, the drum sounded again, and a voice shouted: King Jin, the Right Army assaulted!

The man had three small red flags on his back, with the word "Ling" written on it, and he rode his horse wildly.

The cavalry troops, who were waiting for battle in front of the right wing of the Tang army quickly adjusted their formation and marched forward. After walking for a while, the troops raised their long horse lances and spears, shouting and rushing.

In the rough music of the drum and horn, the Tang army sometimes rushes south and sometimes retreats north, and then becomes more and more complicated, the three armies are mobilizing.It seems that a singing and dancing event is being staged on the vast land.

The men and horses between the dark camps ran back and forth like an ant colony, from the early morning battle to the noon, the horse's hooves roared loudly, as if there was a major earthquake here.

The casualties of both sides continued to rise but there was no substantial victory or defeat. The ground was filled with corpses, and the ownerless horses ran in panic.

The Tang army rotated its camps, and the front army repaired the rear army. A new group of troops, who were in good spirits, came up with weapons.

Xue Chongxun asked his side: If you can't fight for a long time, tomorrow your spirit will decline. If it takes a few days, our army will not have much food and grass to bring.Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?

The generals had no choice but to show that the Tubo camp opposite was large and powerful, with a large depth and wide left and right. There were still difficult mountains since such a large area of ​​battlefield, and it was difficult to even detour. Not both sides were so blocking and head-on.

Xue Chongxun pondered: The book says that one moves one more time and one loses one's life. It's even more difficult for us not to defeat the enemy today and tomorrow. We must break the formation in the afternoon!

Looking at the battlefield, the battle continued, and the Tubo king's tent was faintly in the middle of the tent. The flag was still moving.

The location where Xue Chongxun stood was also the Central Army’s battle flag. The various battle flags, golden drums and horns were in order, and no one showed any defeat.

At this time, Xue Chongxun said coldly: I personally led the elite troops of the Shence Army to break through from the center, form a left and right character to support the support, and attack with all my strength!

After hearing this, the generals hurriedly said: The prince is in charge of the center, and we were originally the forehand!Yin Ci also clasped his fists and said: I am the general of Shence Army, so I ask Xue Lang to authorize me to lead my army to attack head-on.

Xue Chongxun rudely refused: My intention has been decided!He turned around and pointed at a team of commanders beside him and said: The military power is now handed over, and the generals obey the orders.

Everyone hurriedly held their fists and bowed to listen.Xue Chongxun said: The central army was ordered to advance and retreat by Du Xian, Yin Ci was the deputy, and the generals answered the order, and those who violated the order were immediately executed!

Get order!

Xue Chongxun then hung three swords on his body and shouted: Shen Ce Army is invincible!Set off!

After saying that, he rode his horse away, and the fierce generals and elite Flying Tiger Corps followed closely behind, and the Shence Army also stepped forward to start adjusting the queue.

Life and death are advancing and retreating together, and rise and fall are here to fight!Long live!

Shen Ce Army shouted, "Long live, the earth shook."

Eight thousand cavalry moved forward together, and more than 10,000 cavalry on both sides were slowly moving behind, and the three armies approached the Tubo camp in the shape of a pin character.

Du Xian, who was in the central army, looked pale, held the flag in his hand nervously, and looked straight ahead.

Xue Chongxun glanced at the west-facing sun. The shimmering sun made the ground dry and the air was as clean as a spring.

At this time, he was very excited and a little nervous, but he was not afraid at all. No one was afraid. After all, so many people were together, it only made people feel excited.

Xue Chongxun even showed the excitement and joy of Princess Taiping after the unprecedented victory. I don’t know when he was already very dependent on his mother psychologically. At this time, he remembered praying and said a few words to Princess Taiping in his heart...

As an atheist, he did this entirely to gain spiritual excitement.

Silk!

With a gentle metallic sound, the bright long sword quietly left the scabbard.

Xue Chongxun held the hilt tightly and closed his eyes and wished him, waved his fingers in front of him, and the horse's hooves went from slow to fast, ticking...
