The sky dawned very quickly in the desert. Before the hour, the sun had already poked its head out from the horizon, spreading its soft golden light all over the desert, dispersing the already fading fog. The two armies fleeing and pursuing them almost at the same time.
After seeing the opponent's lineup clearly, the difference was that the Tang Army's cavalry formation was quiet, while the Dashi Army burst out with loud cheers, apparently believing that their own side with strong soldiers and horses would be able to eat this small amount in one bite.
Many cavalry troops of the Tang Dynasty.
"Chase, speed up, let me catch up!"
As soon as they saw the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty not far ahead, not only the tired officers and soldiers of Dashi were in high spirits, but also Asser Nabuji became excited, watching what happened in the middle of the night.
After the chase, it was finally time to gain something. Asser Nabuji's eyes were red, and he roared and urged the horses under his crotch, driving the troops forward wildly.
"accelerate!"
Although he never looked back, as soon as he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind, Peng Tao knew that the food army had begun to accelerate, and he did not dare to neglect it. He raised his hand, shouted loudly, and led his troops.
He also started to speed up.
In terms of the quality of the war horses, both sides were riding pure-blooded Arabian horses - since the Tang army occupied the entire territory of Persia, they had all replaced them with more powerful Arabian horses; in terms of riding skills, both sides were also poor.
They are all heroes on horseback, and it is difficult to tell them apart. In terms of horse power, even though Tang Jun galloped for a while, the difference is very limited. Under the situation of accelerating at the same time, it is difficult to shorten the distance between them.
Keeping at about two hundred and fifty steps, more than half an hour passed after chasing and escaping like this. The horses of both sides were exhausted, and the physical strength of the officers and soldiers was almost exhausted. But whether they were chasing or
Those who escaped had no intention of stopping here, and the stalemate remained unchanged.
"Don't mess around, follow me, turn right, and fight out!"
After all, Asser Nabuji is a person who has been fighting for a long time. Although he was also shocked by the sudden appearance of a large number of Tang troops, his mind is still clear and he knows that he must not stop at this moment, and he must not retreat.
, otherwise, the entire team will be destroyed due to self-disorganization. At this critical moment, only by breaking out of the encirclement as soon as possible can we have a chance of survival. He quickly glanced at the Tang army's lineup on the left and right wings.
After that, Asser Nabji finally chose the right wing, which seemed to have fewer troops, as a breakthrough point.
Asel Nabuji is worthy of being a veteran, with a very strong ability to judge the battlefield. The Tang army on the right wing is indeed smaller, with only 5,000 cavalry led by Li He, while the left wing has Wang Yu and Su Yan, totaling more than 13,000
The strength of the army is obviously not something that the tired and tired army of the division can handle. If they really rush to the left wing, they will definitely be seeking death. However, breaking out from the right wing is not necessarily a way out, at least in Li He's view.
!
"Array up!"
Facing the large food cavalry that turned towards him, Li He showed a contemptuous sneer on his knife-like face. While galloping on his horse, he raised his hand and drank loudly,
As soon as this order was given, five thousand soldiers immediately took action upon hearing the order. In an instant, they were galloping into an assault formation. The five thousand cavalry were in uniform, with the thunderous sound of horse hooves, and murderous intent rising into the sky.
"Charge over and kill through the enemy's formation, sons and daughters, the true God will bless us, kill!"
Seeing the Tang army's formation changing so quickly, Asser Nabuji's pupils immediately shrank, and most of his original sense of luck had been lost. But now, he had no choice but to give it a try.
Outside, there is no other way to think of. The only hope is that our own strength is more than four times that of the Tang army. It depends on whether some of the troops can escape. Even if it doesn't work, someone must escape back to report the news. Otherwise, once
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty suddenly rushed to the foot of Tianhuang Mountain, and their main force had to suffer heavy losses. In view of this, Asel Nabuji decided to fight with all his strength, roaring and cheering for his troops.
"The true God is above, the true God is above!"
The officers and soldiers of the Great Food were basically fanatical believers. Although they were exhausted at this time, when their so-called "true god" was mentioned, they all started shouting loudly and became dispirited as if they had been given a gunshot.
The morale of both young and old immediately soared.
"Raise the knife!"
The distance between the two sides was originally less than two miles. In this situation of rushing wildly, it quickly shortened to more than a hundred steps in a short time. Both sides could see each other's faces clearly, and it was the final decisive battle.
At the right moment, as Li He roared, the five thousand Tang riders raised their swords in unison, reflecting a sea of cold light in the morning sun.
Fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps..., the distance between the two sides shortened rapidly, and without even turning, the two iron streams collided with each other, causing the man to fall on his back and the horse to fall, and the screams were loud and loud!
A rout, an out-and-out rout! There was only one face-to-face collision between the two sides, and the cavalry formation of the Dashi Army was completely disintegrated. It was torn into two non-connected parts by the Tang Army like a knife cutting through butter. All those who dared to
The brave men who stood in the way of the Tang Army's forward charge all screamed and fell off their horses. The entire charge formation was gone. This is not surprising. In terms of military strength, the Dashi Army was more than four times that of the Tang Army, but when it came to individual
The combat effectiveness and tactical literacy of the troops were far inferior to those of the Tang Army. More importantly, the Dashi Army was a tired army. No matter how fanatical the religious beliefs were, the potential that could be stimulated was very limited. Although the Tang Army was also
They also drove frantically for most of the night, but at least they had rested. No matter the physical strength or horsepower, they were not comparable to those of the Great Food Army, so this result is not surprising at all.
"Rush, rush out and win!"
Asser Nabuji finally managed to fight his way out of the rebel army. He was already injured in many places. There were even fewer personal guards following him. There were only less than a thousand people left. The rest had fled in all directions.
He drove away, but he didn't bother to gather the remaining soldiers. He pointed with the scimitar in his hand at the gap between the two sand beams on the right, shouted and rushed over to drive the soldiers. There were many people he saw along the way.
The skirmishers from the general's banner came to join them. After a short meeting, the number of soldiers had increased to more than 4,000.
Asser Nabuji's troops gathered more and more, even on the chaotic battlefield, they seemed too conspicuous. The three Tang armies had obviously discovered the whereabouts of his troops, but none of them sent troops to pursue them.
Instead, dozens of small troops were detached to encircle and suppress the scurrying troops, seemingly intending to allow Asser Nabji's men to escape.
"Quick, rush out!"
Asser Nabuji was galloping on his horse, while looking back from time to time to watch the movements of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing that none of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty came to pursue his troops, he felt a little at ease, and then looked at Sha Sha
Liang's gap was close at hand, and he was even more ecstatic. He roared loudly, and accelerated his horse as fast as he could, trying to get out of this damn basin as quickly as possible.
"fire!"
Wishes are always beautiful, but the reality is obviously cruel. Just when Asser Nabuji's troops had rushed to less than a hundred steps away from the gap, they heard a loud roar from the sand beam, and immediately,
The Tang army's artillery fire began the massacre.
"Boom, boom..."
Dozens of artillery shells accurately hit the fleeing Dashi Cavalry, and mushroom-shaped flames exploded immediately. Shrapnel flew in all directions, instantly killing and wounding the Dashi Cavalry.
Tired.
"Don't stop, keep rushing, hurry up!"
With this sudden bombardment, the already panicked Dashi Cavalry was completely thrown into chaos. Many cavalrymen broke away from the group in panic and fled to a less crowded place. Asel Na
When Buji saw this, his heart went cold. He roared and tried to control the scattered trend. However, the troops under his command had lost their control. The only ones who could really obey his command were only a thousand personal guards. In desperation,
Asser Nabuji could only lead the remaining troops to rush towards the gap between the sand beams.
"shooting!"
At the top of the sand beam on the right, Liu Ziming stood contentedly with his hands on his hips, looking at the remnants of the food army rushing towards him with a grin, and enjoyed admiring the mess of the food army for a while, and then waved his hand proudly and ordered the attack.
make.
"Bah, bah..."
Liu Ziming gave this order, and the soldiers of the third regiment who had been ambushing on the two sand beams pulled the triggers one after another. Amidst the gunshots like exploding beans, a dense rain of bullets poured down on the remnants of the Food Army, instantly killing them.
The forwards of the food army swept down a large area, and the food army, which had no formation at all, became a mess.
"Don't stop, rush, go on..., ah..."
As soon as he saw the Tang army ambushing Shaliang, Asel Nabuji's heart sank to the bottom of his heart, but he refused to surrender. He waved his scimitar and tried to regroup, but this time his "true god" was obviously
He fell asleep and did not give him the slightest protection. Before he could finish shouting the command, a shooting bullet hit his chest. Poor Asser Nabuji only had time to let out a miserable howl.
He fell off the horse, his limbs twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
With the death of Asser Nabuji, the organized food army on the entire battlefield no longer existed. How could the power-deficient food army escape the pursuit of the Tang army? Not a single one of the 21,000 cavalry could escape.
Nearly five thousand people died in the battle, and the rest were all captured.
At three o'clock in the morning, the Tang army, which had hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, did not stay here for long. They formed a neat queue and rushed towards the battlefield on the main peak of Tianhuang Mountain like flying. As for the prisoners of war, the Tang army did not pay any attention to them and only took away the prisoners of war.
They left their horses and weapons, leaving more than 16,000 prisoners of war to fend for themselves on the spot. Of course, to fend for themselves may be a nice word, but in fact, in such a vast desert, there are no horses and sufficient
If we want to get out alive, we have no hope of supplies, but it is really too slim...
