The new day is destined to not be a stable day for both the Tang army and the Turks.
Early in the morning, Li Chengqian and others all marched in order and led the Tang soldiers to the Turkic camp with great momentum.
Fortunately, the Tang army marched from south to north, always with the sun behind them.
On the Turkic side, Manila also led his troops to arm themselves front and rear. Escorting hundreds of prisoners of war, they marched forward slowly.
Behind the prisoners of war is the Manila cavalry team. There are nearly 10,000 old, weak, women and children behind the cavalry in the area covered by the cavalry.
Manila left the city and temporarily stationed on the edge of the city, but he couldn't let anything happen again. To prevent being taken advantage of by the Tang army.
He already knew that the other two Tang army teams had defeated the Turkic soldiers and horses that had delayed them. If they took the time to come, he would be in a bit of trouble.
However, after Manila, Li Chengqian and others were stationed, they began to exchange the chips in their hands.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and Cheng Chumo nodded. Shouting loudly there.
"Listen to the Turks in front. We, the Tang Dynasty, will return your captured Turkic soldiers back to the Turks in the spirit of a good life. I hope you can release our Tang army and population."
Manila nodded after hearing Cheng Chumo's words.
Face-saving matters must still be done.
After Manila responded, Cheng Chumo waved his hand, and the Turkic prisoners of war, who were suppressed by their Tang army, ran towards the Turkic team like wild horses running wild.
Seeing that their own people had to get out of the trap, Manila did not hold the Tang Army prisoners of war and let them go. They also waved their hands, and then those Tang Army prisoners of war who were injured and found it difficult to walk alone, three or five gathered together to support each other and moved towards Tang Jun is coming this way.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian clenched his fists and talked to the generals next to him.
"What the Jue people do is abominable. We serve their prisoners of war with good food and drink, but what about our people? Not only do they not receive proper medical treatment in their hands, they may not even be able to eat enough."
Looking at the hastily bandaged wounds and the bloodless face in front of him, Li Chengqian couldn't help but complain.
The generals of Tiance Guard next to him were gnashing their teeth.
"You just wait for me. As long as we get our manpower back, they will definitely regret coming to my country, the Tang Dynasty."
Although many generals expressed their intention to repair the Turks in front of them no matter what, what they had to do now was to rescue their companions.
But just as they quietly watched the Turkic prisoner of war pass over their comrades, suddenly, like a magic trick, there were more weapons in their hands, which shocked Li Chengqian and others.
"What's going on? There are Turks in our comrade's team?"
Hou Junji was also shocked when he saw this scene, and immediately shouted loudly.
"The whole army is in formation, ready to meet the enemy at any time."
But as soon as Hou Junji finished speaking, the Tang troops who were waiting for their compatriots to come over saw the Turkic prisoners of war raising weapons that appeared inexplicably in their hands and slashing at their compatriots without reacting.
In an instant, they fought fiercely for the Tang Dynasty until the last moment. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, who were seriously injured and had no choice but to be captured, died tragically under the sword of the Turks before they could return to the camp of their comrades.
Seeing such an inhumane scene. Li Chengqian and others' eyes were bloodshot, and they drew out the weapons from their waists and shouted.
"All the officers and soldiers follow me and rush forward to save our comrades and kill these Turks!
How dare they do such a thing, we will fight to the death. "
But as soon as Li Chengqian shouted, Hou Junji and other generals had already drawn the weapons from their waists, and Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin who were in the front had already mobilized their horses to attack the Turkic troops.
On the other side, Manila smiled proudly when he saw that Tang Jun was really angry under his trick and rushed forward regardless of the formation.
He hurriedly pulled out the small colorful flag he had prepared from the side of the saddle, waved his force left and right, and then the Turkic soldiers and horses quickly dodged to both sides.
There were tens of thousands of Tang women, children and women who were getting out of the way and were pushed by the Turks behind them and rushed towards Li Chengqian and others.
Seeing the women and children being pushed out, Hou Junji knew something was wrong, so he could only shout loudly for everyone to form a formation and stop charging.
But no matter how Hou Junji shouted, the scene had been completely disrupted by the scene just now. The soldiers of the Tang Army screamed and rushed forward to fight the Turks desperately.
This is exactly what the Turks want.
However, although they are crazy about seeking revenge on the Turks, they still have some basic sense.
Seeing that their comrades appearing in front were about to collide with their horses, they had no choice but to avoid their original direction and run towards the wings.
But after the Tang army's horses charged, how could they stop so quickly?
Although they were all elite Tang armies, armed to the teeth, with a passion to defend their country and to repair the Turks, under such changes, there were not a few who fell off their horses and stumbled.
Some of the Tiance Guard's young generals also stumbled. Fortunately, after the first batch of Tang army horses stumbled, the people behind them were on guard and started to attack the Turkic soldiers and horses from both wings.
Seeing the chaos of the Tang army, Manila laughed even more. The general next to him was able to quickly order people to drive the women, children and women of the Tang state towards Li Chengqian's camp to drive away Li Chengqian's camp.
As for the left and right wings of the Turks, they also came up after the Tang army's cavalry was in chaos and formed two wings to outflank Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian also knew that under such circumstances, if he did not make effective decisions, he would definitely face a huge price.
However, seeing their compatriots being driven away by these people, everyone was in agony, waving their weapons and shouting.
"Kill! Kill them for me, and save them no matter what!"
Hou Junji saw that the team had no structure at all, so he had to stop his personal followers and start arranging the manpower on the two wings. No matter what, he had to block the cavalry on both wings, and when he was about to defeat the Turks at the front, he would return to their comrades.
If you can defeat them once, you can defeat them twice. The Tang army has no fear.
The fighting soon began. The furious Tang army, already full of anger, was fighting in a melee with the Turkic cavalry who were outflanking them from both sides.
Even though some Tang soldiers were slashed several times, they endured the pain and once again killed all the Turks around them before falling down from their horses unwillingly.
Scenes like this abound
The combat power of the Tang Army, which was angry, was beyond the imagination of the Turks. Even if Manila came up with an unexpected strategy, for the Tang Army, everything was a paper tiger in the face of absolute strength.
However, in the face of sheer numbers, the always brave Tang Army also had to pay a heavy price.
Looking at the soldiers of the Tang Army who were constantly fighting for him on both sides, someone among the women and children shouted loudly.
"Fathers and fellow citizens of the Tang Dynasty, we have dragged down our Highness and our Tang army!"
After an old guy said this, the other people were still talking and talking. Among them, there were only a few people who could fight, and most of them were women and children.
But the old man still shouted there.
"We can't move forward any further. If we move forward, we will break through the Tang Army's camp. At that time, no one among the Turks could stop them. We are already so old, and our relatives have also suffered at the hands of the Turks. We can no longer Go ahead, follow me and fight the Turks!
"
But as soon as the old man shouted this, the Turks next to him seemed to have discovered something unusual, and chopped him down to the ground with a knife. He even chopped down several women, children and children next to him before urging others to move forward.
This scene was even more irritating. The Tang army in front of him was so angry that he wished he could immediately rush away from the captured army to fight the Turks.
It's just that the prisoner is blocking them here. It's impossible to rush over, so they have no choice but to change from cavalry to infantry. The infantry doesn't have much power to parry when facing the assault cavalry.
Seeing that the women, children and children were finally mixed with Tang Jun, Manila smiled, smiling so wildly.
The small colorful flag in his hand was waving even more rapidly. The Turkic generals beside him screamed and led their cavalry to rush forward regardless.
"You guys, follow me and kill!"
No matter whether they were Tang troops or prisoners in front of him, as long as they stood in front of their horses' hooves, they were all lambs to be slaughtered.
The bloody battle continued, and Li Chengqian and the others finally caught the women, children and children. Li Chengqian shouted loudly.
"I am the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. You will be safe when you come to me."
Although Li Chengqian hoped that they would never participate in the war, since the war had already happened, he had to be prepared to lose his loved ones. Seeing these women, children and children who would not leave even after he welcomed him, he had no choice but to Mobilize some generals from the Tiance Guard to escort them quickly away from the battlefield.
How could a two-legged man be compared to a four-legged war horse?
Even if Li Chengqian and the others tried their best to cut off the rear here, they were defeated step by step by the blows.
"Fight! Fight until the last moment!"
The casualties on both wings were getting heavier and heavier, and the Chinese camp also suffered heavy casualties. At this moment, Hou Junji was helpless and looked at Li Chengqian shouting loudly.
"His Royal Highness, let's go. Take the people away quickly. I'll stop them for you! As long as His Highness can go to the rear and assemble the team, we still have a chance of winning. If we stay here any longer, our entire army will definitely be annihilated."
Hou Junji was right. Although the Tang army initially defeated Turkic Manila with a small number and a large number.
But now the Tang army was manipulated by the Turks. Even if the nobles were not afraid of death and blocked the Turks' attack, the Tang army did not have many formations in front of the absolute numbers and had already paid a heavy price.
Now, the Tang-character war flags that originally fluttered in the wind in many directions have been reduced a lot, but the Turkic flags have also fallen down a lot.
However, looking at the Turkic cavalry who was screaming strangely and constantly wandering around his team, trying to attack him at any time, Hou Junji had to make arrangements.
Li Chengqian didn't care about Hou Junji at all now, but instead shouted loudly there.
"No! I won't leave. I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty. I will fight until the last moment to give my people a chance to live."
At this time, the prisoners were crying even more miserably, and they were crying and talking at the same time.
"Your Highness, please leave. We can't leave. We will die here. We will never be coerced by this Turkic people again."
Although they said this, the generals who led them to Tiance Guard cursed them even more fiercely.
"You know now? What have you been doing? If you didn't obey them at the earliest, why would you end up dying?"
The general also seemed to be angry, beating and scolding them regardless, and driving them away quickly.
How could the Turks, who had already defeated the Tang army's camp, let the two-legged people escape from their four-cornered horses?
He chased after the general, but the general had no choice but to wave his weapons again to meet the enemy.
"Come back with me, stop the Turks, and give them a chance to survive."
