Fire-spitting Immortal Khan and Geluolu Yehu took advantage of the opportunity of their tribes being oppressed by the Tang Dynasty to secretly form various connections.
The strong oppression of the Tang Dynasty, especially the forcible seizure of cattle, sheep and horses, indeed made many tribes extremely dissatisfied.
Among them, the most powerful are naturally the Uighurs.
Pei Luo, the powerful Khan of Huihe, had long been dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty.
Obviously there is a void of strength on the prairie, which is why the Uighurs are rising.
But Datang abruptly interrupted their hope of dominating the grassland.
Not only that, they also treated Uighurs as vassals and continued to extort money.
Now that he has foreign aid and like-minded companions, Pei Luo is determined to give it a try.
At worst, after losing, just go back to Datang to seek peace.
In addition, there are also tribes such as Xijiasi who participated in it.
Datang was neither blind nor deaf, so he could clearly see the secret movements of these vassal tribes.
Guo Ziyi, Gao Xianzhi and others all made suggestions, asking the emperor to send people to investigate the matter. It would be best to catch the Dashi messenger who was quietly operating here, so as to make the matter a solid case.
"No need to bother."
Li Yunze waved his hand and did not agree to this matter. "In my name, directly summon these tribal leaders to the Chinese army's tent to deal with them. The army will send troops again to wipe out each tribe."
"His Majesty."
There are still some opponents: "Dashi's soldiers and horses are on the other side of the river. If civil strife breaks out here in Datang first, they may take advantage of it."
"It's not that I look down on Dashi's army."
Li Yunze's eyes were very calm, "I look down on all the armies except Datang! They have the best moves and can cross the river to fight with our army. As long as you come here, don't think about going back!"
There were a lot of nomadic tribes listening and looking at them, but their combat effectiveness was completely incomparable to that of the Tang army.
Li Yunze really looked down on them. Unless there was civil strife in the Central Plains Dynasty, they would not have the slightest chance.
Then the tribal leaders were summoned to discuss military matters, and most of them chose to go there.
After all, the soldiers and horses on the other side of the river have not crossed the river yet, so they have to conceal their secret actions at this time.
Only three people did not go, and they were keenly aware of the danger.
Ye Hu of Ge Luo Lu, Tu Qi Shi and Khan of Huihe.
Not only did they not go, they even took the initiative to mobilize troops to prepare for emergencies.
It must be said that their intuition is indeed very sensitive.
As night fell, the tribal leaders who went to the Chinese army's tent never came back, and their respective tribes were immediately attacked.
Because there were so many people, the tribes gathered very close to each other. Even in his own camp, the fire-breathing fairy Khan could see many fires rising from a tribe in the distance.
"Immediately send someone to send a message to Ge Luo Lu Yehu and Gu Li Pei Luo Khan, saying that our conspiracy has been discovered by the Tang people." The dark-faced Fire Spitting Immortal Khan immediately responded, "Tell them to send troops to break out immediately. , let’s go to the river to meet and greet the big people on the other side.
Food army. "
After the messenger left in a hurry, the fire-breathing Immortal Khan turned around and ordered to assemble men and animals, preparing to quickly break out of the encirclement and head north under the cover of night.
A confidant warned carefully, "The Great Khan, the Great Cannibal is in the west."
"I know."
The fire-breathing fairy Khan simply walked towards the group of horses, "So we need the Geluolu people and the Huihe people to attract the attention of the Tang army, so as to buy time for us to escape northward."
Don't look at the fact that the total number of these tribes is greater than the total number of Tang troops.
But these leaders are all very aware of the difference in combat effectiveness.
The Tang Army's armored formation and cavalry were put out, and it was like playing around with them.
If they really waited until the decisive battle between the Tang Army and Dashi, they would have no problem carrying out a kidney attack from behind, but only a fool would do it if they fought the Tang Army head-on.
This kind of fool has been done by the Turkic Baimei Khan before, but he was beaten by the Tang army and his whereabouts are unknown.
The Hou Turks had more soldiers and horses than they put together.
Fire-breathing Immortal Khan made up his mind to sacrifice his friendly troops to create time for his escape.
But what he didn't expect was that both Ge Luolu's Ye Hu and Bone Power Pei Luo Khan thought so.
They also sent envoys separately to tell others to meet at the riverside, but they themselves hurriedly fled north.
Then, several groups of people fled almost parallel on the vast grassland.
When the sky gradually lightened up and everyone set off on their own expeditions, they realized that everyone wanted to go together.
Before the awkward few people could meet and discuss the outcome, a cavalryman rushed over and shouted, "The Tang Army is catching up~~~"
Riding their horses on a hillside, several leaders looked at the Tang Army cavalry in the distance behind them like a tide, and they all gasped.
This huge Tang army that could not be seen beyond the horizon must number at least tens of thousands!
The bone-strength Peiro Khan stared blankly at the Tang army's cavalry approaching rapidly in the distance. "Has Emperor Tang lost his mind and gone crazy? He sent all the cavalry out to chase us. What should we do if the cannibals cross the river?"
No one responded to his words. When Bone Strength Pero Khan looked to the left and right in confusion, he was shocked to find that his two companions had already ridden down the hillside and ran away.
Pero Khan, the powerful god, was stunned and hurriedly rode down the mountain to his tribe.
Whoever runs away first at this time will catch up with the unlucky guy behind and become a hero who helps others escape.
There may be such heroes, but these noble heads definitely are not.
Nuo's big move on the Tang Army's side was naturally noticed by the big cannibals on the other side of the river, and their reactions and actions were also very fast.
At daybreak, we had already started crossing the river via the pontoon bridge.
At this time, Dashi was already ruled by the emerging Abbasid dynasty.
The person responsible for waging war with the Tang Dynasty was its governor of Khorasan, Abu.
The Khorasan region was an extremely important source of troops for the Abbasids, capable of mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops.
Moreover, their senior officials had already agreed that whoever could conquer the Tang Dynasty would be the master of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Governor Abu has been preparing to invade the four towns of Anxi after regaining the Central Asian countries.
This time when he learned that the Tang army was coming, he mobilized the main troops to fight without any hesitation.
Including the servant troops brought from the Tocharian countries and the Central Asian countries, its size is estimated to be as high as nearly 300,000 people.
It would be very difficult for such a large army to cross the river just relying on a few pontoon bridges.
Governor Aibu had been worried that the Tang army would make a surprise attack while they were crossing the river. In that case, the soldiers and horses crossing the river would suffer heavy losses.
But what made him very confused was that there was no movement at all from Tang Jun.
Just watching quietly from dozens of miles away.
Looking at it, a whole day has passed.
Seeing the sky getting darker, Governor Abu, who felt much quieter, hurriedly ordered not to stop, and everyone continued to cross the river.
It was not until noon the next day that most of the food army arrived on the other side.
Until then, the Tang army officers and soldiers who had had lunch drank a bowl of wine one after another, put on their armor, and started to step forward to fight with their weapons.
In terms of numbers, Dashi naturally has the absolute advantage here.
Therefore, Governor Abu looked at the overcoming Tang army. Not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he was secretly happy: "If we defeat this Tang army, we can enter the four towns of Anxi. After that, we can go to the distant city of Chang'an. I will definitely be able to do so." Become the master of the Tang Dynasty!"
Seeing that almost all of the Tang troops on the scene were infantry, Governor Abu immediately ordered the cavalry to charge against the Tang troops' infantry.
Unlike the steppe tribes who used cavalry for raiding tactics, Dashi's cavalry not only rode tall horses, but also wore chain armor and brandished Damascus knives. Their main tactic is to charge directly into the formation with cavalry.
When humans face a cavalry charge, they will always be subconsciously afraid.
If they run away and break up, it will be a pursuit battle.
If we fight resolutely, we will have to face the collision of tens of thousands of cavalry.
Governor Abu thought with some pride, "How can there be infantry in this world that can withstand the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry?"
Don't tell me, it really does exist.
Here, the Tang Army saw tens of thousands of cavalry coming in like a tide, and they immediately began to make arrangements.
The soldiers half-knelt on the ground and stretched out a five-meter-long dragon spear. The tail handle was inserted into the soil, and the thick spear body was raised diagonally to present a forty-five-degree angle.
The long soldiers in the back row stretched out various spears, spears, long axes, halberds, etc. from the back rows.
Further back is the shield wall listed by the shield-bearing warrior.
Behind the shield wall were the crossbowmen of the Tang Army.
The reason why the crossbowmen did not stand at the front was because someone else stood at the front.
Li Yunze carefully crafted and organized five thousand Tangmo weapons from various powerful armies!
These Mo Dao soldiers held the long handles of their swords in both hands, facing the oncoming large food cavalry like statues.
As a newly rising dynasty, the Abbasid army's fighting will was relatively firm.
Their cavalry faced the hedgehog-like spears in the hands of the Tang army soldiers. They did not shrink back in fear. Instead, they kept screaming and waving the scimitars in their hands, and kept accelerating forward.
However, out of instinct, most of them focused their attack on the sword-wielding Mo Dao soldiers.
After all, compared to those hedgehog-like spears, Mo Dao soldiers looked obviously better to fight.
Then, they saw what it means to be torn apart!
When the Dashi Cavalry was about to rush into the Mo Dao soldiers, countless dazzling sword lights flashed before their eyes.
Mo Daobing waved the extremely sharp Mo Dao in his hand and slashed it down in front of him.
The extremely sharp blade, driven by the overwhelming force, could cut off even those wearing armor.
Thousands of Mo knives flew continuously, forming a storm of flesh and blood in front of the Tang army's formation.
Li Siye, who was wearing a visor, gritted his teeth, and through the hole in the visor, he vigorously waved the scarlet sword in his hand, constantly raising it to chop, and then raising it to chop again, and the cycle continued.
Under the strong stimulation of adrenaline, the unparalleled Mo Dao soldiers chopped countless large food cavalry into pieces. The flesh and blood piled up in front of them, even up to their waists.
The heroic performance of Mo Daobing became like a rock and became the mainstay of the Tang army's battle formation.
The rest of the Tang army was not idle either, carrying the heavy cavalry's constant attacks forcefully.
As the casualties continued to increase, the attacking cavalry could not withstand the pressure and began to retreat gradually.
At this time, Li Yunze, who was watching the battle from behind, ordered in a calm voice, "Beat the drums, advance the troops!"
