Back to Tanshi Huaitai.

Mo Yanchuo, Wang Zhongsi finally arrived!

Compared to the last noble chief and elite forces that completely destroyed the Turkic Khanate, the herdsmen outside Tanshi Huaitai were not worth it. For the Turkic Khanate, thanks to Sun Xiurong's promise, relying on Tanshi Huaitai to resist stubbornly.

The showdown is about to begin!

The dividing line between early winter and mid-winter depends on the thickness of the ice layer, and where there is not much water surface, it depends on the slipperyness of the ground.

When the temperature drops sharply, the water vapor below the surface of the land will spread upwards. After the surface is out of the surface, a slippery ice layer will soon form on the surface of the land. The more water vapor it is, the wet and slippery it will be.

Daligang Ai Ranch, centered on Tanshi Huaitai, is an excellent ranch rich in groundwater. The ground did not freeze in early winter, but when Mo Yanchu and Wang Zhongsi arrived, it gradually began to freeze!

When they arrived at this situation, if only one force came, the Turks might surrender. However, with the Uighurs and the Tang army arrived together, the Turks knew that they had no other way except to fight to the death.

To the north, facing Moyanchu was Xiyehu, the leader of the Turkic Khanate, and Abus, the leader of the Luo tribe, a Tieler man in his thirties. He also had tens of thousands of troops with the elite Luo tribe as the backbone.

There were nearly 20,000 troops in the south with the elite Pugu tribe as the core. They fought against the Tang army under the leadership of Pugu Huaien.

Such an arrangement also reflects the Turks' views on the combat forces of various forces. In their eyes, the Tang army led by Wang Zhongsi, the first general of the Tang Dynasty, could only hope that Pugu Huaien could persevere until Sun Xiurong's arrival.

Abus himself is a powerful general. Although the number of people is not as large as that of the Uighurs, it is very likely to burst out with amazing combat power in front of desperate situations, and it is unknown that he can still persevere until Sun Xiurong's arrival.

As for the high platform, Baimei Khan had 20,000 troops under his command, closely guarding the four Blue Turkic nobles and their families.

To the north, when the Uighurs and the Turks fight together, you can't tell which ones are Uighurs and which ones are Turks, because they are all descendants of the Tiel people, and they are nothing more than tribes.

However, since the Turks had ruled the northern desert for a long time, there were naturally a large number of standing troops. With the standing troops, the clothes of the standing troops will be unified in reference to the surrounding powers. The Turkish military uniforms combined the Sogdians and Tang dynasties, and retained the characteristics of the grassland nomadic tribes.

The armor adopts the Tang army's standard, but a spire is erected on the top of the head, and a ball knot woven with wool is wrapped on it.

Later, this style was also spread to various tribes of the Blue Turks. Of course, the Uighurs, Baye Ancients, Tongluo people and other black Turks were not qualified to be used. However, in the current situation, Tongluo and Pugu have become the main force to protect the Turkic Khanate, and you are still obsessed with the so-called Blue Turks' old rules.

Therefore, the two cavalrymen of Tongluo and Pugu also adopted this style.

Only a few cavalrymen of the Uighurs had iron helmets. They had just occupied the Turkish royal court and could not be configured on a large scale, but they also had their own obvious signs.

A hat similar to a cloak is the mark that distinguishes them from other tribes, but there are almost all tribes of this. In order to distinguish this, the Uighurs' hats have a tick-tick-sewn neck-tick-tick-sewn neck sewn with double-layer camel leather, which makes the sheepskin hats look a bit like a helmet at first glance.

Since the Blue Turkic nobles led by Baimei Khan were stationed on the high platform, the firewood used to build the camp has been cut off. The two military camps of Tongluo and Pugu were almost naked, and there were nothing more than a large number of tents gathered together, and there was not even a fence.

Of course, neither Abus nor Pugu Huaien thought of using fences to block the attacks of the Uighurs and the Tang army, especially the latter. Although the Tang army was all cavalry, there were also troops specially used to destroy local camps, that is, a small number of crossbows that followed the brigades. The crossbow arrows shot out by the crossbows were almost as thick as arms. With one blow, few fences could block them.

Although the number of people and combat power in the wild wave battle is not superior, in terms of force, it is impossible to fight to the death when it comes to this!

Compared to the cautiousness of the Tang army, the always brave Uighurs took the lead in launching the attack!

Moyan sipped and invested 10,000 rides!

Abuth on the opposite side could not do this, he could only devote five thousand cavalry first to deal with it!

Abus is a tall and handsome general. He is only 30 years old this year, and is younger than Pugu Huaien. Unlike Pugu Huaien who is good at commanding troops, he is a powerful general who is good at fighting on the battlefield. Seeing that the Uighurs had suddenly reached ten thousand people, he did not conservatively, but personally brought five thousand Tongluo cavalry to the first.

The remaining five thousand people did not come from the Tongluo tribe, but were drawn from the ten left wing tribes of the Turkic Khanate that were defeated by Wang Zhongsi, all led by his brother Ares.

Among the former Black Turkic tribes, although the Uighurs had strong combat power, they seemed to be different from the Lu tribe. After falling into a desperate situation, the Tongluo cavalry burst out with stronger combat power. The Tongluo cavalry, who led the troops to fight, exerted their combat power to the greatest extent!

In the original history, An Lushan was the governor of the Three Towns and was still obsessed with the Tongluo cavalry on the southern foot of Yinshan led by Abus, which shows the strength of the Tongluo cavalry.

Abuth's desperate bet blocked the fierce attack of ten thousand Uighur cavalry!

With the beginning of the 15,000-strong army war, the newly frozen ground on the grassland north of Tanshihuaitai was soon trampled to pieces. Both sides had almost no armor and fought for their lives, leaving no room for anything. When they were exhausted, they were dead. At this time, the role of spiritual power played a part.

Although the Uighurs were brave and had high morale, they now had the entire Udemao Mountain and the Orhun River, so they had the jars and jars. They would feel upset when they met someone who was not afraid of death like the Tongluo Cavalry.

After the battle lasted half a day, both sides retreated.

In this battle, the Tongluo tribe lost about a thousand cavalry, while the Uighurs lost nearly two thousand cavalry!

To the south, Wang Zhongsi did not launch a fierce attack at the beginning, but set up a formation in front of Pugu Huaien's camp. When his brigade approached Tanshihuaitai, he was already a tight formation with his three thousand heavy armored cavalry in the middle. Wang Sili, the front camp, broke through the front camp, and behind Li Guangbi's hall of the back camp, An Chongzhang and Xue Song guarded the left and right.

When the 20,000-strong Tang army arrived south of Tanshihuaitai, Pu Gu Huaien, who was standing at a high place in the camp, also sighed.

"So rigorous and moderate, it will not be a loss to the number one general in the Tang Dynasty."

Despite this, Pugu Huai'en took the lead in launching an attack. Like the Uighurs, he first dispatched five thousand cavalry!

Unlike Abus, Pugu Huaien did not go out in person, but asked his son Puguyu to move out first with five thousand tribal cavalry.

What did Pugu Huaien think?

Can a mere 5,000 light cavalry without armor be able to fight against 20,000 Tang troops?

The five thousand light cavalrymen from Pu Guyi rushed directly towards Wang Sili's front, and shot a large number of throwing arrows about fifty feet away from Wang Sili's army!

As the front battalion of the elite cavalry selected by Wang Zhongsi from Shuofang and Hedong, Wang Sili's army was naturally the elite among the elite. Needless to say, the front half of the war horse was covered with a layer of cloth armor wrapped in thin iron sheets, and the impact of throwing arrows on it was minimal.

But Pu Guyi's battle has only begun.

After the first round of throwing arrows was finished, the five thousand light cavalrymen circled around Wang Sili's front camp through the range of bows and arrows, and every time they ran, they would shoot at least three waves of arrows!

Wang Sili's front camp was already heavily armored. If he could not hold back at this time, he would kill Pu Gu's light cavalry, and Pu Gu's not fight, his cavalry would be exhausted if he couldn't run much distance.

Such a situation must be commonplace for Wang Zhongsi, who has served as the governor of Shuofang for a long time, so he naturally would not sit idly by and watch this situation happen.

Like Sun Xiurong's powerful crossbow soldiers, among his 20,000 troops, there is also a light cavalry equipped with two stone single crossbows and cavalry swords. At present, this unit is led by his confidant Xue Song.

The flag bearer behind Wang Zhongsi pointed the big flag in the hand of Sunon Xide pointed at Xue Song's troops, and the lookout hand in Xue Song's formation listened when he saw it.

After several drum sounds, the lookout hand conveyed an order to Xue Song.

The troops led by Xue Song were a small battalion of 3,000 people, but each had a single crossbow. After receiving the order, he immediately rushed towards the Puguzhi light cavalry who was spinning around!

When the light cavalry of Puguyi turned around again, they happened to face Xue Song's troops who were running over.

"call out......"

The single-body crossbow is not comparable to that of a single-body bow. The arrow branches falling from the sky immediately caused heavy losses to Pugu's cavalry!

At this time, Wang Sili was dispatched, and his five thousand front battalion divided into two thousand attacks to the rear of the Puguqin army!

Pu Gu Huaien, who was looking out in the camp, did not hesitate when he saw it, and he sent a team of 5,000 again!

At this time, Wang Zhongsi also sent An Chongzhang!

Like the north, the two sides fought fiercely on the vast grassland south of Tanshihuaitai.

Unlike the Tongluo cavalry who were burning boats in the north, the Puguyu tribal cavalry, attacked by Wang Sili and Xue Song, was defeated in a short time, and An Chongzhang's cavalry also gained the upper hand in the battle with the other 5,000 tribal cavalry sent by Puguhuaien!

"Bang..."

When the Jin horn that had withdrawn started sounded, the battle was completely one-sided. Only half of the tribal cavalry of Puguyuz ran back to Pugu Huaien's camp, and the other five thousand team also lost at least one thousand cavalry!

The combined losses of the Tang army are less than a thousand cavalry!

This was caused by the situation where both sides were tempted.

After learning that the war was damaged, Wang Zhongsi became more confident, and Pu Gu Huaien's expression became more serious.

The battle this day was over, and neither side had the intention of fighting again.

In fact, Abus in the north wanted to take advantage of his troops' determination to die and fight with all his bets. However, the result would be self-evident. When Abus thought that Sun Xiurong's army would arrive in two to three days, he still held back.

Pugu Huai'en, who was in the south, breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that if the Tang army pushed all the troops over to fight him, he would probably not be able to hold on until the next day.
Chapter completed!
