Outside Tanzhou City, Liu Mingzhi jumped on his horse and stopped with his whip raised.
Looking at the scene of thousands of soldiers and horses roaming around outside the city, I felt relieved but also faintly nervous.
With equal strength, it would not be easy to intercept the Turks who were all cavalry.
"The last general Cheng Kai meets the commander-in-chief!"
"The last general, Zhou Baoyu, meets the commander-in-chief!"
"The last general..."
The generals under Liu Mingzhi who came to Tanzhou to gather in time saw Liu Zishuai's flag and immediately rode up to join them.
Liu Mingzhi turned over and dismounted and glanced at the exhausted generals, knowing that it was not easy for them to rush to Tanzhou immediately after receiving the order.
Even I was a little exhausted coming from Mizhou, let alone these soldiers and horses who came from distant states!
"Excuse me. What's the situation? What's the current situation of the Turkic soldiers and horses?"
"Reporting to the commander, the scouts passed the message, Fengtan Road, and Yantan Road showed tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers and horses who wanted to forcefully rush out. The Xiaoguo Guards and our brothers from the Baizhan Guards were rushing over to support the brothers who were fighting against the Turks. .”
"The main Turkic troops are charging towards our Tanzhou City. They have broken through two lines of defense. Before you came, General Mo and others were preparing to lead troops to stop the attack."
Liu Mingzhi constructed a map of various places in Tanzhou in his mind. After pondering for a moment, Liu Mingzhi took out the flag and looked at a group of generals solemnly.
"Brothers, success or failure depends on this. The Turkic cavalry cannot be underestimated. It will be very difficult to intercept them when they attack with all their strength. But no matter how great the difficulty is, you have to withstand it for me and wait for the new troops to come and encircle them."
"No matter what, they must be trapped and killed by me in Tanzhou."
"We have the order!"
"We'll leave!"
"Du Yu!"
"The general is here, have the brothers on the left and right sent a message? What is the current situation of the Jin army in Hanzhou who wants to break out?"
"Replying to the Marshal, according to the reply from Grand Marshal Jing Guogong on the left side, the Jin army has forced its way through the barrier four times, and was suppressed by the brothers from the other two groups before returning. It's just..."
"Just what? If you have something to say, please tell me!"
"It's just that the cavalry numbers of the two brothers on the left and right are limited, and the three infantry troops and horses on the top did not have time to reach Hanzhou. If the other three troops and horses cannot reach Hanzhou before dark, I am afraid that the Jin people will find them soon. The weak point of the siege.”
Liu Mingzhi frowned for a while: "Send a message to Zhang Mo and ask him to detach a part of the Imperial Guard's cavalry to go to Hanzhou for support. No matter what, the Jin soldiers and horses will be trapped in Hanzhou."
"Got the order!"
"The rest of the people, follow me to intercept the main Turkic army!"
"We have the order!"
The three parties each have their own plans, and the two prefectures in Northern Xinjiang, where more than one million troops have gathered, are engaged in a battle that is about to break out all the time.
There were many cavalry under Liu Mingzhi's command, and their strength was almost the same as that of the Turks. It was extremely difficult for the Turks to charge out.
On the official road leading to Tanzhou, the short distance of about thirty miles was no less than an insurmountable natural chasm for the main Turkic troops led by Huyan Yunyao.
The rear was pursued fiercely by the dragon cavalry, and the front was surrounded by a group of dragon cavalry from all directions from time to time. Although there were not many troops, the pressure it brought to the Turkic cavalry who had no intention of fighting was real. Indescribable.
If they were on the battlefield outside the pass, facing the dragon enemy army that was not much different from their own, the Turks would have fought back.
But they can't do it now, because they know in their hearts that once they are entangled by Dalong's soldiers and horses, they will wait for the end of all their own soldiers to be annihilated.
During the Song and Qing Dynasties, Ye Baotong was leading the formation, the sharp warriors, and the three lines of cavalry chasing the Turks in front. However, the Turks had no intention of stopping and starting a war. The two sides could only start in the wilderness outside Tanzhou City. A chase.
Song Qing held the sword in his hand and looked extremely depressed. He looked at the enemy who was only a few hundred steps ahead but could not catch up, not to mention how angry he was.
Not only could he not catch up with the easily obtained military achievements, but he also followed the enemy and ate the dust all the way. No matter who he was, his mood would not be much better.
"Baotong, did the messenger send a message to the other troops? Why haven't they surrounded us after so long?"
"Deputy Commander Song, the scouts have just replied. A large number of Turkic enemy troops have appeared in Yuzhou, about more than 100,000 people. Now they are held back by the Turks in Yuzhou and cannot come in time."
"There are also traces of Turkic enemy troops in Yuzhou? How is this possible? Haven't the Turks already joined forces in Tanzhou? How can there be more than 100,000 troops there?"
"The general doesn't know either. The war situation is urgent now and the information transmission is slow. The general doesn't know what the specific situation is."
"His grandma, damn it, it was obviously a battle of annihilation, how did it end up like this?"
"Command the brothers to pursue with all their strength and find a way to lure the Turks to Tanzhou City. The commander-in-chief is leading the brothers to surround us!"
"Got the order!"
Huyan Yunyao's pretty face looked back with a depressed look at the dragon soldiers and horses chasing behind her like a dog chasing a rabbit. Before she could curse, two long smoke dragons appeared several miles ahead.
Huyan Yunyao's pretty face condensed, knowing that two more groups of enemy troops were surrounding her.
"Personal guards, order the officers and soldiers of the three armies to fight back and stop moving towards Tanzhou City."
"Follow the order!"
Song Qing and others who were pursuing were shocked when they saw that the front suddenly changed direction. The Turks who had made a large detour and came back to fight back quickly recovered and ordered to change the charging formation. Only then did they not stumble and be caught off guard by the Turkic cavalry.
There was another direct charge and battle, and corpses were once again left on the ground.
Hu Yanjunyao bit her silver teeth and wiped away the blood that splashed on her pretty face. She looked back at the enemy who tightened the reins of their horses and turned around again to catch up with a trace of helplessness in their pretty eyes.
"Second brother, this can't go on like this. More and more enemy troops are surrounding us. Our strength is only 70%, which is far from the opponent of the Dalong troops guarding Tanzhou."
"Once entangled, we will be completely surrounded by the dragon."
Hu Yanyu put the bloody sword into the scabbard behind his back: "I thought about it carefully, the seven soldiers and horses are exactly Yan Yu's side. The more than 100,000 soldiers and horses have not come to join together, and I don't know what happened. What happened?"
"Even if we want to join forces with them, we can't do it because we don't even know their location."
Huyan Yunyao turned around and glanced at several more smoke dragons that appeared behind her. She lowered her head and pondered while galloping on her horse.
After a long time, Huyan Yunyao's beautiful eyes flashed with light, seeming to be hesitant.
Finally, Hu Yanjunyao's beautiful eyes showed a hint of determination, and she turned to look at her second brother Hu Yanyu, who had been protecting her all the way.
"Second brother, in today's world, there is no other way. My little sister does have a way to get rid of the enemy's pursuit, but it's not very authentic."
Hu Yanyu was startled and looked at his little sister in surprise.
"What's the meaning?"
"I wonder if my second brother has ever heard of the saying that a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist."
Hu Yanyu thought for a moment and looked at the younger sister hesitantly.
"You mean Hanzhou?"
"That's right. If you want to break out now, the only way is to divert trouble to the east."
"Half of the Jin Kingdom's troops are occupied by infantry. This is the best way to involve the enemy!"
