This time, among the five thousand soldiers and horses brought out by Li Chengqian, except for some of the grassroots officers, they were veterans.
The rest are all new soldiers recruited through recruitment orders.
Because of Li Chengqian's existence, these new recruits are destined to be extraordinary.
Not only are they proficient in riding, archery and close combat, they are also well equipped.
Each knight is equipped with a light bow and a heavy bow.
In addition, the cavalry is also equipped with a spear and a scimitar specially made for the cavalry.
Such weapons and equipment, coupled with Li Chengqian's devilish training for them.
These people are destined to give this world a big surprise.
Li Chengqian led the army all the way westward and defeated countless small Kucha troops.
The refugees who were driven over were all escorted eastward by Li Chengqian's troops and horses.
After experiencing the baptism of war along the way, the new recruits have lost their original youthfulness.
Now, they only have a cold murderous look in their eyes.
In fact, it is not just Li Chengqian who wants to prove himself.
So are they.
Who said that soldiers produced under the recruitment system are not as good as veterans under the government military system?
They don't believe in that evil.
This time they gritted their teeth and tensed up, wanting the world to know that even if the military system was changed, the Liangzhou Army was still the invincible army that could dominate the world.
…
It was also because Gao Changguo didn't fight back.
As a result, the ambitions of the Qiuci Kingdom have expanded. Now they want more than just a Jiaohe City.
Tens of thousands of Kucha troops gathered in Jiaohe City, completely treating Jiaohe City as their own logistics supply.
And their military front was directed towards Nanping City.
It is also because the current speed of information transmission is slow.
So now, the news that Datang has sent troops has not reached Kucha.
Just as Li Chengqian was leading his army to pursue the Kucha stragglers, Kucha general Nayeru was also walking leisurely on the way to Nanping City with three thousand Kucha soldiers.
Because the Western Region has been controlled by the Turks for many years, there have not been many wars in these years.
Therefore, the army structure is not sound, and many soldiers are recruits recruited temporarily.
The same is true here at Yale.
The people he brought had no formation at all when walking on the road. At first glance, they looked like a group of refugees.
And the soldiers all looked listless, as if they were not here to fight at all, but for an outing.
It is said that such a march is very dangerous. Once the enemy attacks, there is no chance to resist.
But Yale didn't care.
And the reason why he had this idea was of course because of Gao Changguo's dissatisfaction.
It has been four days since the fall of Jiaohe City.
But until now, they have not caused even a little trouble to the Kingdom of Qiuci.
So much so that at this time, Yale had no concept of war in his mind.
All he could think about now was waiting to capture Nanping City and how many beauties he wanted to capture.
But obviously, his wish could not be realized.
Just as they were moving slowly.
A cavalry force of more than a thousand people was already rushing toward them.
It wasn't until these guys heard the faint sound of thunder coming from ahead that they knew something was wrong.
You know, the people of the Western Regions are almost all semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural people, and they have a very special ability to perceive the sound of horse hooves.
And Yale, who was drowsy while sitting on the horse, also changed his expression.
"No, there are enemy cavalry ahead."
Of course he would not be so stupid as to think that the person in front of him was one of his own.
After all, he was the vanguard. Apart from some skirmishers who were chasing Gaochang refugees, there was almost no large-scale armed force in front of him.
Therefore, he immediately rushed to direct the soldiers to form an array.
However, it was obviously too late to think of commanding the soldiers until now.
Just as the Kucha warriors were hurriedly forming their formation, the cavalrymen in black armor, black robes, and black turbans were already approaching them.
The torrent of cavalry swept through the crowd like sharp swords.
For a time, there were screams and wails.
Many people don't even understand what's going on.
He was knocked over by the war horses that followed, and then trampled to pieces by ruthless iron hoofs.
Caught off guard, the Kucha Army, which lacked training, was unable to withstand the cavalry charge of the Liangzhou Army.
Three thousand Kucha collapsed in an instant, and countless Kucha threw away their weapons and fled everywhere like headless flies.
As the head coach, Nayale saw the collapse of the entire army and knew that it was impossible to reverse the situation of the battle. He hurriedly called the soldiers around him to escort him back.
But how could the Liangzhou Army let him escape so easily?
The leader, Cheng Hualiang, held a spear in his hand and rushed out of the queue at the lead, rushing straight towards the direction of Yale.
Na Ye Na was also frightened by the rolling cavalry, and ran for several miles with a group of defeated soldiers.
And they also panicked and ran into a gourd mouth surrounded by mountain walls on three sides.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Huailiang was very worried.
He directly commanded the soldiers to block the gourd mouth.
Immediately, he summoned his soldiers to gather outside Hulukou.
Without waiting for the other party to react, Cheng Huailiang waved his spear and shouted: "Kill me!"
The formation of the Liangzhou Army's Qingqi suddenly tightened.
These soldiers of the Liangzhou Army have been looking forward to fighting. Now when they see these people, their eyes are glowing green.
As mentioned earlier, the people of Liangzhou are good at martial arts and are not afraid of war.
And they have only one purpose in serving as soldiers, and that is to make achievements.
If you want to make achievements, you can only go to the battlefield and kill many enemies.
However, the Tang Dynasty has always been in a period of peace. They have been training after joining the army. Where is the opportunity to participate in the war?
Now, when the opportunity comes, how can they let it go?
Seeing these Kucha people, they looked like wolves that had been hungry for three days.
That scene made me want to rush forward and crush the enemy's bones.
After a while, the only one standing among the Kucha people in front of him was Yale.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Huailiang waved his hand and said: "Get out of the way, I'll deal with him!"
After saying that, Cheng Huailiang didn't care about the expressions of others, he just raised his spear and charged towards Yale.
Facing the charging Cheng Hualiang, Yale's performance was a little panicked.
In his early years, he was also a warrior on the battlefield.
But the drunken life in recent years has already emptied his body and corrupted his courage.
And under such circumstances, how could he defeat Cheng Hualiang?
In just one round, Cheng Hualiang had already knocked him off his horse.
Cheng Huailiang glanced at his body with disdain and cursed secretly: "Trash."
When he finished speaking, he waved his hand in a bored manner: "Cut off his head and go back to His Highness!"
This battle took only half an hour from start to finish.
The total number of cavalry casualties of more than a thousand Liangzhou Army was only a few dozen, and they defeated three thousand enemy troops.
In the melee, more than a thousand people were killed, and the remaining more than a thousand people were all captured by Datang.
Originally, Li Chengqian planned to execute all these people.
But when he thought of Gao Changguo's current situation, he gave up the idea.
Li Chengqian said directly to Cheng Huailiang beside him: "Find a few people and send these prisoners to Gaochang and let Qu Wentai deal with them by himself."
