The weather was sunny and breezy.
On the grassland at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there was not a single cow or sheep now. There were only large armies in preparation, with military camps standing on various strategic roads.
The 5,000 bad troops led by Yuan Tiangang and the 5,000 elite Tang cavalry led by Lao Hei each carried small thunderbolts and dismantled trebuchets. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
The cavalry without heavy weapons were extremely fast. Before noon, they walked out of the control of the Tang Dynasty and arrived fifty miles away from the Yinfengkou guarded by the Western Turks.
"Report...to the two generals, enemy scouts have been spotted ahead, and they are chasing our scouts."
Without saying a word, Yuan Tiangang ordered directly: "The forward regiment will attack directly, and the guard cavalry will surround us on the left and right. No enemy will be able to escape."
"The rest of you, prepare for battle immediately."
Then Lao Hei and Yuan Tiangang took their personal guards and ran towards a hill. Standing on the hill, they could clearly see the enemy's situation with telescopes.
The opponent has about five hundred people, but among them there are only a few masters, and the rest are ordinary cavalry, because recently the Tang Dynasty sent ordinary scouts, just to inquire about information. Unless they are directly face to face with the enemy, otherwise There will be no confrontation, just evacuate.
On the side of the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of scouts were running away frantically, with the cavalry behind them chasing after them.
Just when the hundreds of people in the Tang Dynasty were despairing, suddenly a mass of black cavalry appeared in front of them. Looking at them, they were all wearing armor from the Tang Dynasty army.
Everyone was happy that they were finally going to survive.
When the enemy saw the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arriving, and there were about a thousand in number, they immediately reined in their horses and prepared to retreat. But at this moment, cavalry appeared on both sides, each numbering about a thousand.
The enemy leader was shocked, knowing that even if there were a few masters this time, they would probably be doomed.
"Quick, Pugelang, lead a team of fifteen people to retreat from the rear and notify the camp as quickly as possible that there is an enemy sneak attack."
"The rest of you, follow me and charge!"
"Charge and kill them all!"
The leader of the Western Turks' scouts quickly judged the battlefield situation, decisively issued military orders, and took the lead in rushing towards the Tang Dynasty's forward.
However, before they could reach the Tang Dynasty, they were hit by a wave of arrows, and countless scouts fell off their horses.
Then the two armies met and fought savagely. The leading masters were really unstoppable and they cut a bloody path through the Tang Dynasty's thousand cavalry.
But soon they also met the masters of Datang, and a fierce battle ensued in the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
As the cavalry from both sides surrounded them, the war in which more than 3,000 people besieged 500 people ended quickly.
The fifteen people who escaped were also pursued by the Tang Dynasty cavalry. In the end, they were all shot and killed, and no one could escape.
Yuan Tiangang didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield, so he immediately reorganized his army and headed towards several camps outside Yinfengkou as quickly as possible.
According to the information obtained through Ma Qiu's Jinyiwei, there are 100,000 troops stationed outside Yinfengkou. There are seven camps in total. They are well-organized and well-proportioned. There is care in front and behind. Once a camp is attacked, support will be quickly received.
The Western Turks defended this dark wind airtight, but no one knew where the 60,000 Sirius troops were stationed.
The general guarding Yinfengkou in the Western Turks is Ashina Buzhen. This is a general with great talent and unique military strategic vision. He is very famous in the Western Turks.
From the layout of the battlefield, it can be seen that this general of the Western Turks is also a difficult guy.
But this time Yuan Tiangang and Lao Hei's purpose was not to annihilate the enemy, but to annoy the enemy and make them pursue them, especially the 60,000 Sirius troops.
Lao Yuan and Lao Hei didn't care, relying on their binoculars, whenever they encountered an enemy, they would immediately pounce on them and shoot them alive, leaving no one alive.
Finally, they reached a military camp. The military camp was built very tall and solidly. As the defensive side, the Western Turks had to build the military camp tall and solidly in the face of the Tang Dynasty's infantry.
They knew that the Tang Dynasty had trebuchets, siege engines and other powerful siege weapons. In addition, the Tang Dynasty also had artifacts that could protect the country.
Once the defense is broken and Datang is allowed to enter the dark wind, the royal court will be exposed to the enemy.
However, the generals of the other side probably never expected that none of the scouts they sent came back alive. They had been fighting on the battlefield before, and no enemy had ever reached their camp.
What's more, in previous scout battles, the Western Turks generally won more.
This also led to Ashina Buzhen and the enemy's defenders not paying enough attention. At this moment, they suddenly saw tens of thousands of enemy troops suddenly arriving in front of the camp.
The soldiers guarding the tower were so frightened that they forgot to tell the people below that the enemy was attacking.
After being stunned for a long time, he shouted hysterically: "The Tang Army is coming, the Tang Army is coming..."
At this moment, the entire military camp was in a state of panic.
A sneak attack in broad daylight, is the Datang Army okay?
But they really weren't prepared at all. Hell, even the war horses were still grazing in the stables. Are these cavalry going to be used as infantry today?
The leading general quickly climbed up the tower, but the Tang army was already close to the military camp. They were only one mile away from the camp and could reach the bottom of the tower in an instant.
At this moment, he wanted to let the cavalry leave the city camp, but after taking a look at the chaotic army, the guard decisively issued an order to defend the village and wait for reinforcements to rescue them.
"Light the beacon and call for help immediately."
"Organize the cavalry, rush out from the back door, and kill me..."
The leading general immediately issued these two military orders, and countless defensive equipment was all brought to the tower. The trebuchet they made was originally intended for attacking the Great Wall, but unexpectedly it was now used on the tower. .
The panicked cavalry also mounted their horses and began to assemble, rushing out from the back door, preparing to gather outside the military camp to effectively contain the Tang army.
On the Tang Jun side, Yuan Tiangang and Lao Hei looked at each other and laughed.
They had already deduced that as long as they were fast enough and kept the Western Turks' eyes and ears in check along the way, they could quickly reach the Western Turks' camp.
The Western Turks are mainly cavalry. The advantage of cavalry in field battle is to charge. Now they have no chance for cavalry to charge. The opponent can only use cavalry as infantry.
Even if the cavalry can be organized in a short time, it doesn't matter. Under the double blow of Zhentian Lei and Huoyou, they can only be defeated.
"All slingers, dismount immediately, form groups of three, and assemble the trebuchet."
"The remaining personnel, the remaining soldiers, defend the cavalry attack on the left and right."
All the projectiles jumped off their horses, then took off the trebuchet parts they were dragging from their horses, and quickly began to assemble them.
The rest of the cavalry immediately went to both sides to prevent the enemy from escaping from the stronghold and attack their projectiles.
Yuan Tiangang was riding on his horse, using his binoculars to look at the stunned defenders on the tower, and he wanted to laugh three times in his heart.
The opponent missed another opportunity to charge.
At this time, the Western Turkic guard also beat the wood on the tower with his fists remorsefully, and immediately ordered: "Damn, the Tang army is really cunning, they didn't charge directly."
If I had known that you would not rush over so quickly, but would dismount before assembling the siege weapons. I would open the gate of the village and rush in front of you to fight in one breath.
There are 13,000 troops in his military camp, all of them cavalry!
The other side also has almost 10,000 troops, but they must be exhausted after coming from a long distance.
"Report to General, assembly completed."
In about half a stick of incense, the projectile man assembled a small trebuchet. Although this trebuchet is not large, its projection distance is 500 meters, which is enough to cover half of the village building.
Lao Heixia looked at the smoke rising from the village, and then the smoke also rose from the mountains in the distance. He immediately issued a military order: "Everyone is here, and a wave of kerosene bombs will cover the village."
"Then, project all the thunderbolts you carry."
"After half a stick of incense, destroy the trebuchet and retreat..."
After receiving the military order, the flag bearer immediately waved the flag in his hand.
Then, the first wave of kerosene bombs flew towards the village tower in dense numbers.
Upstairs in the village, the Western Turkic guard looked at the dense black dots flying towards him, and he also hated it. Why did the Tang Dynasty possess such a device and be able to project it so far?
However, they had only heard that Datang's sky-shaking thunder was very powerful before, but they had never seen or experienced it with their own eyes.
I thought it was just like a stone, which would only kill people and damage buildings.
"Escape..."
Everyone was hiding in various places in the village. Even the people inside the village were hiding nearby.
Bang, bang...
Countless earthen jars fell on the village building, making a crisp sound. They also landed on or near various camps.
After the first wave of earthen jars fell, only a few unlucky soldiers from the Western Turks were slightly injured. The rest looked nervous, but they were intact.
The guard immediately came out of his hiding place and looked at the wooden village building. All of them were broken earthen jars, and the earthen jars contained a black liquid.
This liquid, they had indeed seen, was black kerosene emerging from the ground. This kind of thing could burn as long as it saw an open flame.
"Damn Tang Jun, he is trying to burn us to death!"
The leading guard general was shocked and immediately issued a military order to retreat. Unfortunately, it was too late. Countless thunderbolts carrying sparks roared towards the village tower.
"Run quickly..."
