Even if the Western Turks defeated the Tang Dynasty, it would be impossible for the Western Turks to tolerate the Mukun tribe.
So whether it's for themselves or to please Datang, they have to fight tooth and nail.
This is a common problem among all humans.
For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had a decisive battle in Guandu. Yuan Shao's counselor Xu You was dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, so he betrayed Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao. Xu You revealed all the truth and falsehoods of Yuan Shao's army to Cao Cao, and offered a plan to burn Wuchao. It was this time.
The surprise attack on Wuchao became the key point in Yuan Shao's failure in the Battle of Guandu.
Another example is the Battle of Feishui. An important reason for the defeat of the former Qin Dynasty was the betrayal of the general Zhu Xu. Xie Xuan told the former Qin emperor Fu Jian to let the Qin army retreat a little. After the Jin army crossed the river, the two sides fought decisively. Zhu Xu took advantage of the retreat.
Spreading rumors and shouting "The Qin army has been defeated", the Qin army began to collapse and returned home in disastrous defeat.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that these cavalrymen of the Mukun tribe are more crazy when dealing with their original companions than fighting against the Tang Dynasty.
"Haha~"
Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, and when the horse tree danced in his hand, a life would definitely be taken away.
Although he was somewhat disdainful of this behavior of the Mukun tribe's cavalry, the Mukun tribe's cavalry did bring heavy casualties to the enemy. Cheng Yaojin naturally would not let go of this opportunity and shouted: "The Turks have repeatedly committed crimes."
On the border of the Tang Dynasty, now is the time for revenge, kill!"
"kill!"
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty shouted in unison, their morale was high!
The harsh environment of the grasslands has fostered the warlike character of the nomads.
When it comes to individual combat, no matter in terms of physical fitness or riding and shooting, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty cannot compare to the nomads.
But war is not about the ability of individual soldiers. Whether it is coordination or weapons and armor, the Western Turks are much worse than the Tang Dynasty.
Although the Western Turkic soldiers were brave, they were constantly being strangled due to the precise cooperation of the Tang soldiers.
Although the Western Turks caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the casualty ratio of the Western Turks was three times that of the Tang Dynasty.
Not long after the battle, about 2,000 Tang soldiers were killed, while nearly 6,000 Western Turks were killed.
"Damn it, why haven't the reinforcements come yet?"
Siriguleng cursed in his heart as he watched his soldiers continue to die in battle, while Shaboluo never sent reinforcements.
When Shaboluo transferred Bad Zorg, he promised him that once the Tang army left the camp, he would immediately send reinforcements to eliminate the Tang cavalry in one fell swoop.
When the Tang cavalry left camp, he had already sent people to notify Shaboluo, and Shaboluo also promised to send reinforcements, but so far no sign of reinforcements has been seen.
"No, if we continue fighting like this, all my soldiers will die."
Siriguleng didn't care about killing Shaotang's army, he cared more about the lives of his soldiers.
It's not that he cares much about the lives of those people, but that these soldiers are the guarantee of his status.
Even if he wiped out all the Tang troops in front of him, he would have lost too much strength. What would greet him would not be endless glory, but ruthless annexation!
"Ailinur, lead your troops to stop the Tang army and buy time for the army to retreat!" Sriguleng said to the captain of ten thousand, Ailinur.
"leader!"
Ailinuer looked at Siriguleng with some pleading.
He knew that once he was in charge, there was basically no possibility of escape.
"You are the warrior of my tribe, I hope you will not let me down." Siriguleng said coldly.
"Yes!" Ailinuer saw the murderous intent in Siriguleng's eyes and did not dare to say more.
Siriguleng asked people to blow the retreat horn.
The Turkic soldiers on the battlefield had long been killed by the Tang cavalry and were a little scared.
Hearing the sound of the horn, they quickly retreated. Those soldiers who were fighting with the Tang army were eager to ask for help from the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty seized the opportunity. For a time, the number of Western Turks killed in battle increased greatly.
Cheng Yaojin heard the horn sound of the Western Turks and shouted: "The bastards of the Western Turks have been defeated, don't let them escape, kill them!"
"Kill!"
After fighting for so long, the Tang army was a little tired, but after hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, their spirits were lifted.
At this moment, Ailinur led two thousand cavalry and attacked from the side.
Aili Nuer had no fighting spirit to begin with, and his martial arts skills were much inferior to Cheng Yaojin's. Within a few rounds of the fight, he was defeated by Cheng Yaojin.
However, with the obstruction of these two thousand cavalry, Sriguleng left the battlefield with 10,000 cavalry and headed south.
Cheng Yaojin was worried that these people would add variables to the southern battlefield and not even have time to clean the battlefield, so he quickly led people to pursue them.
…
"Sir Qi Jin, Siri Gureng sent someone to say that the Tang Army from the Beida Camp was dispatched, and asked you to send reinforcements as soon as possible."
"I understand, tell him that reinforcements will arrive soon and ask him to hold off the Tang army." Sha Boluo said.
He has no troops to send at all now. Fifty thousand troops have entered the South Camp and have not come out yet.
It stands to reason that the Tang army sent cavalry to support, and the cavalry entering the camp should have discovered it.
Although the Tang army sent two thousand cavalry to block the gap, it was impossible to stop the fifty thousand cavalry.
Now he just wanted to eliminate the Tang army in front of him as soon as possible and find out what happened to the 50,000 cavalry who entered the camp. He had no time to care about Siri Gureng's side.
Sha Boluo looked at Xue Rengui, who was suddenly fighting from left to right in the crowd, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. He had already sent his most elite soldiers there, but he didn't expect that Xue Rengui could persist for so long.
And those Tang soldiers were also desperate for their lives, wanting to break through the siege and rescue Xue Rengui.
"No, if we continue like this, we will let him run away."
Sha Boluo called the deputy commander of the soldiers and said: "You lead 300 people to sneak over and shoot the Tang general to death with random arrows!"
"Sir, this will definitely cause accidental damage." The deputy commander of the soldiers said hesitantly.
At this time, Xue Rengui was surrounded by the crowd. If he had followed Sha Boluo's instructions, most of the Turkic cavalry near Xue Rengui would have been accidentally injured.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Sha Boluo's eyes, and he said: "I don't care about so much now, just do as I say."
"Yes." The deputy commander did not dare to say more and took the order and left.
Xue Rengui had been paying attention to the movements on Sha Bo Luo's side. When he saw some of Sha Bo Luo's soldiers approaching the battlefield quietly, Xue Rengui showed a hint of joy.
He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.
Xue Rengui waved his halberd and kept charging, actually looking for a suitable angle.
"Now!"
Xue Rengui killed the Western Turkic soldiers in front of him, picked up the bow hanging on the saddle, calmly drew out an arrow, narrowed his eyes slightly, and let it go.
Xue Rengui did not stop his movements, but quickly drew out an arrow again and repeated the previous movements.
In one breath, Xue Rengui shot five arrows in a row.
"not good!"
Sha Boluo had been paying attention to Xue Rengui on the battlefield. When Xue Rengui shot at him with a bow and arrow, Sha Boluo's face changed drastically.
The distance between him and Xue Rengui at this time was almost 500 steps. Normally, an arrow fired from a bow at this distance would not be able to reach him.
