Searching and searching, it was deserted and miserable, and no food could be found anywhere.
I don’t know what happened, but the originally peaceful grassland suddenly became turbulent. There were galloping horses everywhere, but there was no fat hare in sight. I’m hungry!
The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded again in the distance. The sand fox was startled and ran down the mound quickly, never to be seen again.
The sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and soon, a silver-saddled knight riding a tall horse appeared.
Behind him, more and more knights appeared.
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...a full thousand riders!
Qianqi rolled through Ping Gang without stopping, and continued to rush towards the faint outline of the city in the distance.
Inside and outside the city walls, the brutal fighting continued.
Li Duo was helped to the back. His body was covered in gold wounds and his clothes were stained with blood.
The corners of his mouth curled up a little. Can the armor he wore before be used as a fishing net?
I'm not dead yet! How many thieves have you killed? I can't remember exactly, maybe ten.
We were even robbed of several heads by An Xiuxiu, who liked to shoot cold arrows and boasted that his archery skills were comparable to An Renyi who fled to Huainan, but he was still not as brave as us to fight face to face!
Cai people, when have you ever been afraid of death?
But although I don’t want to admit it, to be honest, Anxiu’s truce is quite powerful.
After two consecutive days of siege, An Xiuxiu was attacked at night by the last night. An Xiuxiu was sleeping near the city wall. At that time, many thieves had rushed in through the gap. After waking up, An Xiuxiu had no time to put on his clothes, so he held up his clothes.
Gen Changshu rushed over.
Seeing his high nose, deep eyes, yellow hair, blue eyes, and splayed beard and hair, the bandit soldiers almost thought he was a yaksha emerging from the ground. In addition, this man had a loud voice, and his roar was as loud as thunder. After a rush,
He actually scared the thieves away.
Hey, Yaksha, let you look like a Yaksha!
The bell rang, and a group of Shatuo cavalry rushed out of Liangzhou City. They only had 400 cavalry left. The number of people was getting smaller and smaller as they fought, but the remaining people became more bloodthirsty and cruel. Hundreds of Tatar cavalry came to intercept them.
They dispersed in a rush, and the Long family tribe and the Sogdians attacked again. Only then were they able to stop their momentum and prevent the infantry who were struggling to attack the city from being disturbed.
On the third day, each tribe invested a lot of money and almost took turns to go into battle. Those who collapsed were taken into custody on the spot, and the fastest ones were beheaded in front of the battle.
Can't capture Liangzhou in three days? During the Qianfu period, they rushed in with no resistance at all!
Lu, Cui, Chen, Zhebu and other wealthy "prime ministers" were very anxious. They originally wanted to give the newly arrived Tang army a show of strength, but they didn't think about what it would be like. But as they were fighting, they became really popular!
These more than 3,000 Tang troops not only used the broken city walls to fight to the death, but also sent cavalry out of the city from time to time to harass and interrupt the rhythm of the attack. They were very sophisticated and very hateful.
At this point, it is obvious that nothing can be done. After the city is breached, all these Tang troops must be slaughtered to let them know who is the real master of Liangzhou.
Governor Xige drank a large bowl of wine, then exposed his upper body, roared three times, and prepared to go up with the warriors.
The famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, Li Siye and Ma Lin, both stripped off their armor, took off their helmets, and charged into the battle with their upper bodies exposed when the battle situation was critical. They were unstoppable. Today, we must do the same to boost morale, and let the Tang army see that the enemy is also capable.
Warrior's!
"Kill!" Xi Ze raised his left arm and shouted loudly.
The sergeants' responses were sparse and uneven.
Xige was furious and was about to say something when he saw the sergeants turning around one after another and looking at the already panicked rear camp.
There are no soldiers left in the rear camp! In order to attack Liangzhou, almost all the elites were drawn up. At this time, the rear camp was attacked...
"Kill!" Fu Cunshen raised his left arm and shouted loudly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The cavalry of the Tianzhu Army responded loudly, with high morale.
"Poof!" The knight with the silver saddle took the lead, picked up the sergeant who was blocking the road, and rushed into the rear camp.
Thousands of cavalry followed closely behind and charged into the chaotic crowd.
Unexpected, unexpected, and confused, this is probably the end of the story.
The rear camp was so old, weak and disorganized that it almost collapsed in an instant.
The shadow of defeat hung over the minds of the army at the end of the war. The main force attacking the city was affected and lost control of their emotions. After a few hasty attempts, they turned around and retreated.
No matter how much the officers tried to stop, beat or scold them, they had no intention of fighting and only wanted to escape.
Can you expect farmers and shepherds who are temporarily recruited to be as hard-hearted as professional warriors and can turn over in the face of adversity?
The Shunyi army were all veterans who had been fighting for many years. When they saw the chaos in the rear camp at the end of the war, the morale of the army was floating, and there were faint signs of collapse, they immediately seized the opportunity to fight, mustered up their courage, and charged out with shouts.
The last three hundred Shatuo cavalry also rushed out, and no one came to intercept them at this time. The loose Ammo tribe can fight with the wind, but once they fall into adversity, the first thing they think of is how to protect themselves.
It is true that a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.
The Sogdians ran away first, then the Long family, then Tuyuhun...
The unique survival wisdom of the small vassal tribe allowed them to understand the crisis as quickly as possible. And their decisive escape was like the straw that broke the camel's back, leaving Sumo with no intention of fighting.
The defeat is doomed!
Coincidentally, the Ammo Ranch and the village south of Liangzhou are also experiencing a major collapse at this time.
Knights with braided hair and bare faces were everywhere, brandishing swords and spears, chasing and killing the old and weak who were fleeing in all directions.
So angry!
Zhe Bu Nian was riding a war horse, and blood kept dripping from his sword.
He is a murderous person, and especially when facing his old rival Ao Mo for many years, he cannot restrain his urge to kill.
There must be only one winner between the tribes of Fumo and the Tubo tribes of Liugu. The winner takes all, rules all the tribes, and becomes the master of Liangzhou.
The most powerful among the Liugu tribe is naturally the Zhebu tribe. In addition, there are more than 10,000 people from the vassal tribes. They live in the Yangfei Valley with rich water and grass and make a living by grazing.
Yangfei Valley, today's Jinta River Basin, is home to the Nanying Reservoir. In the Tang Dynasty, there were many tributaries of the Jinta River, with rich water and grass. It is located at the junction of the mountains in the south and the Wuwei Oasis in the north.
In addition, there is Hongyuan Valley, which was recorded as Hongyuan Valley in the Song Dynasty. In the second year of Empress Wu’s holy calendar, Lunzan Po led more than a thousand people to surrender. The Queen Mother thought she was the general of Youwei and ordered them to guard Hongyuan Valley. Today’s Tianti Mountain
, Huangyang River Valley area.
Zhuanglang Valley is located in the Zhuanglang River area; Dongda Valley is located in the Dongda River Valley, a tributary of the Jinchang River; Xida Valley is located in the Xida Valley, a tributary of the Jinchang River; and Haomen Valley is located in the Zamu River Valley area.
Among the six valleys, Yangfei Valley was the strongest, and the Zhebu clan ordered all parties to fight against the evil spirits together.
The dispatch of troops this time can be said to be a golden opportunity. As soon as the mobilization was finally launched, people here already knew about it. Then they quickly sent orders to all the ministries and gathered all the people they could muster. They gathered more than 7,000 people to sneak attack those who were left behind.
All the tribes at the end of the war achieved a brilliant victory.
The old rival is about to suffer a heavy blow. Zhe Bu Nian is very happy. As long as these old and weak animals are collected and escorted back to Liugu, the offensive and defensive momentum of the two will be reversed. How happy!
It's a pity that the battle is not over yet! Zhe Bu Nian frowned.
There were too many people in the army. Even if all the elite troops were mobilized, there would still be a lot of people left behind. If they hadn't taken advantage of the sneak attack and brought over elite troops, it might not have been so easy to capture them.
End the battle as soon as possible!
Of course, this is just his unilateral idea, in fact it is very difficult.
The tribe is half-grazing and half-cultivated, and is scattered over a wide area, very similar to the Liugu tribe. Once the tribe is dispersed, you will of course divide your troops to attack, which greatly prolongs the combat time and makes the situation increasingly chaotic and uncontrollable.
"Stop! Stop!" In the wilderness southeast of Liangzhou, the horsemen galloped in all directions, passing the order to each battalion.
The officers and soldiers of Xinquan knew this well. Along the way, they bumped into many people fleeing for their lives. When they were arrested and interrogated, they knew everything!
Sumo was worried about the arrival of the Tang army, so he took the initiative to gather troops and attack Liangzhou, intending to destroy the Shunyi army and frighten the Tang army that might follow.
After the Liugu tribe of Tubo learned about it, they hurriedly gathered more than 7,000 people and quickly went north to attack the old and weak people left behind by the Momo tribe. These Momo people who were hit by the Xinquan army were killed and fled for their lives.
This is really messy!
Wars between grassland tribes often involve rapid attacks. This is actually a very deadly tactic because they have no city walls and rely only on pastures and cattle and sheep, and people live relatively scattered. Without mobilization,
, the organization level is actually very low, and the resistance to surprise attacks is very low.
If one thing goes wrong, the tribe will be annexed by others. This has happened many times in history.
"Military envoy, where are you going to change the route? Do you want to inform the tribesmen?" Fan He and Zhen Xu came hand in hand. They looked at the white old man and asked.
"The situation is urgent, there is no time to notify them." Yang Yue's eyes were filled with light, as if he smelled the smell of blood from a shark.
It was indeed too late to notify.
Marching on the border of Liangzhou, it was also a relatively cold season. It was difficult for the large groups of people to stay together and they had to march separately. However, there were thousands of cavalry from the Qinzhou Tubo Horse Tribe accompanying them. This was because the Xinquan Army had few cavalry.
There are only 500 people, recruited temporarily.
"The mantis bends over to get the cicada, but it doesn't know that the oriole is right next to it." Yang Yue laughed loudly and said, "If you bump into my hand, you won't be polite."
