What made the Western Turks soldiers and horses shudder even more was that the flickering firelight reflected the shining spear point, and the nearest one was no more than a step away from them, or even just a step away!

Cross-cut holes, a ten-foot-long horse-rejecting spear!

If he hadn't reined in his horse in time, he would have served it as meat skewers himself!

However, the ignition of the fire also has advantages and disadvantages. Don't be delusional about a sneak attack. Instead, be careful of the Tang army's counterattack.

The trumpet sounded, the soldiers roared with arrows, they fired their crossbows, and the crossbows showed off their power from afar, causing the Western Turks soldiers and horses to turn around and run away.

"Yeah, this is called a falcon hunting a wild goose!"

In the dark night, General Fan Sheng, the lieutenant of Zuo Xiao and Wei Yi's mansion, laughed.

Falcon hunting geese is the language of the Tang Dynasty. Falcons are birds of prey and are invincible to geese. This interpretation is found in the "Language Dictionary of the Tang and Five Dynasties", and the source is "Jianqi Ci" and "Collected Works of Bian".

As for some translations of "hitting without fail", I can't say that they are wrong, but they just don't feel that appropriate.

Fan Sheng still remembered Fan Zheng's reminder that he should be extremely vigilant even when camping every day, let alone when facing the enemy?

When the camp was set up at night, he was in charge of this side, and all precautions were in place. Cui Yiqi, the doctor in Cangbe, was teasing Fan Sheng for being too cautious.

Fan Sheng choked back: "You're a warehouse manager, what do you know about fighting? Do you know what it means to be prepared?"

Cui Yiqi was choked and rolled his eyes.

Civil servants who come to perform martial arts are not welcome to see you, unless you have a proven record like Yang Hongli.

Seeing as your second nephew is the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I won’t argue with you, a fool like you, otherwise I will have to let you receive all the nine-year old grain as luxuriant rice next year!

It is true that the Taicang Office of Sinong Temple is responsible for distributing Lumi. The wooden deeds that can be given to Lumi, as well as the officials and various people to be distributed, are all determined by the Cangbu Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!

At dawn, Qiuci and Western Turkic soldiers and horses came out from the west gate and fled towards Yiluolu City in a slightly chaotic manner.

As for the Qiuci army who stayed on top of the city as a cover, they were just wishing for themselves.

Surrounding three buildings and one is a psychological tactic.

However, no one can really count on the oneness of the problem, it is the real problem.

No one is short-sighted.

A volley of random arrows caught the Kucha army off guard, and they lost several thousand men and horses.

Guo Daizhao, a young general, emerged from the diagonal stab and led three thousand cavalry, like driving a flock of sheep, driving tens of thousands of Qiuchi troops and Western Turkic troops to the west.

It’s not that the Kucha army is so weak that they can’t defeat it ten to one, but Guo Daizhao has the prestige and blessing of the Anxi Protectorate, and the Kucha army is too distracted to fight!

It doesn't matter whether Guo is waiting for the imperial edict, the key is that he Aye, the deputy general manager of the Kunshan Road March, the Protector of Anxi, and the Duke of Yangdi County Guo Xiaoke, is a really ruthless person.

Guo Xiaoke is not a strong general, but he is a wise general. He has been promoted all the way through the ranks and has never made a mistake. It is inevitable that he will be a little proud and complacent.

The only problem was that his Yangzhai County Duke was granted the title of Emperor Taiwu by his great ancestor in the first year of Wude. After that, his title did not improve, and he did not even become a County Duke.

However, Guo Xiaoke defeated the Western Turks, hunted down the Chuyue and Chumi tribes, and captured the Qilong Tuqizhi. His fame had already spread throughout the Western Regions, and Jielie Dian and Hu Lukun could not help but be afraid of him.

"Withdraw westward with all your strength!"

When this order was issued, the Kucha Army and the Western Turkic Army were like chaotic wild dogs, each of them just wanted to be faster than the Paoze around them.

No matter who blocks the way, kill them with one blow!

Even if Guo Daizhao fought hard, his gains were not as good as the Qiuci army and the Western Turk army trampling on each other, which is a strange thing.

An hour later, Guo Xiaoke arrived with his army, and Guo Daizhao reported his merits with a hint of pride: "Deputy general manager, Bing Cao, Guo Daizhao led 3,000 soldiers of the Anxi Army, defeating ten times the enemy, and each of them won the second level."

It may seem that the gains are not satisfactory, but that is not the case.

The skill of jumping and swinging is not concerned about the gains.

Guo Xiaoke laughed: "Guo is so lucky to have a son like this!"

Guo Daizhao, a soldier cao, joined the army from the seventh rank to the upper rank, and could switch between civil and military affairs at any time.

Guo Xiaoke took his eldest son with him to join the army. From this point of view, Guo Xiaoke was extremely loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

As for liking luxury, he is not the only famous general in history who likes luxury.

So dangerous...

To be fair, at the beginning of the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate, the military strength was stretched thin. What would we do if we didn't march in danger?

If Guo Xiaoke died a good death, all his faults would become good stories.

People often say: Don’t judge a hero by his success or failure, but how many people have really done this?

——

Ilolu City.

The city gates were closed, and a depressing atmosphere spread throughout the city.

After Horibushibi sat in the palace and sighed, Nalize discussed with Hu Lukun whether they could get more reinforcements from the Khan of Yibi Shekui of the Western Turks.

Now Qiuci was forced to become a vassal state by the Tang Dynasty, but they still loved their old master, but the old master did not dare to openly reject the Tang Dynasty, which made them angry.

Kucha's position is not wrong, but it is not very wise.

As the general of Qiuci, Jie Liedan could only mobilize troops and horses from Zhucheng to defend Yiluolu City and do his best.

However, 200,000 soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city of Yiluolu. Just the scene of the encampment was enough to make people's hearts choke.

Not to mention anything else, the entire city of Yiluolu, including the army, the people, and the slaves, could not make up the 200,000 people.

What's more, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are famous for their ability to fight. Can Qiuci's soldiers and horses withstand friction?

Ashnadur failed to win the Khanship in the Western Turks. Now he has returned to the Western Regions and looked at the Western Turks and other countries. He can only sigh: there is no one who can fight.

The reason for recruiting an army of 200,000 was to prevent the Western Turks from blatantly declaring war. However, Yibi Shekui Khan was a little timid!

Outside the city gate, the former Western Turk Yehu, now the general manager of the Kunqiu Road march of the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Helu, waved his spear and shouted: "Ashina Helu is here! Why don't you kid, Kucha, come back quickly!"

Ashina Helu was originally Yibidulu Khan Ashina wanted to establish a party in the valley and was granted the post of Yehu.

Yugushe was defeated and fled to Tohura. Ashinahelu was pursued by Yibi Shekui Khan. The tribe was separated and left alone.

The three tribes of Zhishedi, Chumukun and Pobi believed that Ashina Helu should be exempted just because of their different stances, which made Yibishegui Khan furious and almost killed the leaders of the three tribes.

Later, the three tribes found Ashina Helu, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with him, and became the vanguard and guide of the Kunshan Taoist army.

This also verifies the principle of "one hero, three gangs".

All in all, without a few people who fully support you, even if you are as powerful as the Overlord of Western Chu, you can only hate Wujiang.

Within the Western Turks, there have always been many factions. Wu Duo Lu and Wu Nu Shibi have always been in tit-for-tat confrontation. Even though Ashina Helu once fled the Western Regions in a hurry, he still has corresponding supporters when he returns now.

Hu Lukun felt that the morale of the army was shaken. A mere 20,000 people were actually divided into two factions. One side was willing to continue to follow Yibi Shekui Khan, while the other side secretly intended to contact Ashina Helu Yehu.

Although the number of people who intend to support Ashina Helu is less than 5,000, this trend is not a good sign!

Pointing at the hot air balloon in the sky, Ashina Helu blurted out: "Did you see that the Tang Dynasty has the help of gods and can fly in the air?"
