Seeing the Tang army rushing towards him, the horse thief leader Hu Yanjie Ligu had a few traces of hideousness on his face.

Just as Cui Xiyi and Cao Yingjie expected, Jie Ligu was not a horse thief at all, but a soldier from the Shatu Turkic prairie.

The Shatu Turk is a branch of the Western Turks. It lives in the Balikun area southeast of the Junggar Basin and in the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains. There is a large moraine there, named Shatu, so it is called "Shatu Turk".

After the demise of the Western Turks, the Shatu Turks surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Later, they were awarded the governor of Jin Manzhou for their contributions to the expedition of Tiele.

At the end of Wu Zetian, this powerful old woman became increasingly stupid and her frontier was in turmoil.

The Shatu Turks deviated from the Tang Dynasty and defected to Tuqishi. They have been in Tuqishi for many years, and they wandered between the Tang Dynasty, like fence-bearing plants.

Both the Tang Dynasty and the Tuqi Shi saw through the urinary nature of Shatu Turks and ignored this fence-bearing man.

Originally, no matter whether Shatu Turks followed the Tang Dynasty, they would receive certain support to ensure that they had no worries about food and clothing.

However, both sides stopped taking care of Shatu Turks, and Shatu Turks became sad.

They did not dare to deal with the Tang Dynasty openly, but they only dared to pretend to be horse thieves and plunder materials.

Shatu Turk was extremely careful and never made any mistakes.

While making Xizhou Governor Cao Yingjie worried, he could only doubt this aspect, but there was no evidence.

Pei Min arrived in Hexi and transferred Cui Xiyi to Xizhou as the governor.

The clan leader of the Shatu Turks and the advisers in the clan were immediately frightened and did not dare to show off.

Pei Min defeated Tubo and Turks in succession and had become a great figure that cannot be ignored in the Northwest. He had extraordinary prestige in the hearts of all races on the grassland, and was not inferior to the Shenwei Tian General Ma Chao at all.

Especially his military style, he focuses on killing and injury. Every time he fights, his opponents will pay a heavy price, which is definitely not the small fights used to be.

Shatu Turks were greedy by nature. They did not dare to provoke a big shot like Pei Min, and they were reluctant to give up their wealth. They kept paying attention to the situation in Hexi.

All the changes in Hexi are in their eyes, and they also mean that if Pei Min is really allowed to develop like this, they will never have the chance to rob Xizhou again.

But before he can't control it, it's worth a try.

Especially when the generals of Xizhou were in conflict, the governor Cui Xiyi and general Xia Shan were in a bad relationship, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of.

Next, it seemed that God also helped them a lot. Pei Min was assassinated, and the conflicts between Cui Xiyi and Xia Shan intensified, which made Xizhou full of loopholes.

The clan leader of Shatu Turks also knew that there was only one chance. He used 3,000 soldiers for the first time, just to eat and drink enough.

Huyan Jieligu is a warrior of the Shatuo tribe. He was responsible for the plunder of Xizhou many times and rushed to the tribe group near Gaochang with a familiarity.

He "visited" many times and knew everything about Xizhou.

Xizhou is now polarized, retaining the style of the Gaochang period and the Han culture of the Tang Dynasty.

Gaochang City was seriously sinicized, just like other towns in the Tang Dynasty, but there were still tents everywhere outside the city and did not gather in villages.

They cannot rob the towns, and the cattle and sheep people scattered near Gaochang City are his target.

He drove straight along the way without stopping.

But the Tang army rushed directly to their rear and intercepted their way.

Hu Yanjie Ligu also realized that he had been trapped and was unwilling to get involved with the Tang army. He decisively gave up the robbery and intended to escape in a roundabout way.

I didn't expect them to give up, but the Tang army refused to let them go and followed them in a roundabout way, just to stand in front of them.

This clay man is still full of anger, let alone the turtle general of Huyanjieligu?

Hu Yanjie Ligu defeated the Tang army's pursuit many times, and had a certain contempt for the Tang army and directly attacked.

He never expected that before he launched an attack, the opponent had already charged first.

The momentum is particularly fierce.

Hu Yanjie felt contemptuous, held up his mace and shouted: "The wolf cubs on the grassland, the cunning Tang people's heads squeezed the cow's butt, and fought against the warriors who grew up on our horses on the ground... Haha, today, we want them to know what a rabbit fights against a wolf and what is seeking death."

He commanded the three thousand cavalry under his command to slowly approach. Compared with the Xia Shan light cavalry's full speed, their speed was extremely slow, and they just slowly lifted their speed and trotted forward.

Seeing that the Tang cavalry was about to enter the land of an arrow, Hu Yanjie showed a hideous smile and shouted: "Go to the bow!"

Turkic cavalry took out their bows and arrows, pulled the bows and sterns while running.

Riding and shooting is the strongest weapon for their grassland nation to survive.

"Shoot the arrow!"

The bowstring sounded!

Three thousand arrow feathers rushed towards the Tang army cavalry like locusts!

Hu Yanjie Ligu held a big bow in his hand, ready to listen to the miserable screams.

He had already seen that the opponent's cavalry were all light cavalry, like them. They did not have heavy armor, but were light-fitted, with maneuvering speed as the priority.

With their impact speed, they will meet the arrow feathers falling from the air, and their power will be more than doubled.

He was very confident in the archery technique of their tribe. Although this arrow land could not be achieved, the range would not deviate from one meter away. Facing the three thousand army formations, as long as the luck was not too bad, he could hit a target, which would cause huge damage to the opponent.

But the next scene made Hu Yanjie Ligu stunned.

Facing the arrow feathers flying in the sky, Xia Shan whistled calmly. In that moment of inactivity, the three thousand Tang army light cavalry were like elves dancing in the air, scattering and running away from left and right, revealing a large open area. Except for a dozen cavalry who were slightly slower, most of the arrow feathers fell into the empty space that the Tang army avoided.

Hu Yanjie was stunned. This kind of riding technique was hard to describe in words!

Even if they were Turks, they could not do this!

Tang Jun’s riding skills are even better than them?

Hu Yanjie Ligu couldn't believe his eyes, and a feeling of fear surged into his heart.

"Shoot, shoot!"

Hu Yanjie Ligu's tone was a little confused!

The other Turkic cavalry were also shocked and shot out the arrow feathers in their hands in panic.

This time, due to panic, the shooting was greatly lost and the arrow feathers were too scattered, which caused more than thirty casualties to the Tang cavalry.

But at this moment, Xia Shan had already reached close, and the Turkic cavalry had no chance to shoot in the third round.

Hu Yanjie Ligu then came to his sense of alertness. They were good at light cavalry and had always shot arrows from afar. Once the enemy approached, they would retreat immediately.

But the speed of the Tang army's light cavalry was far beyond his expectations. Their arrow feathers did not block the opponent's attack at all. At this moment, they could not pull the distance away. Instead, they could not accelerate instantly, and caught up, causing a terrible situation of losing their backs. However, facing the head-on attack did not increase their speed much.
