"Report~!"
"General, the Turkic wolf rider has reached the east gate twenty miles! There are about 20,000 people!"
Three miles away from the east of Shuofang City, in the bushes next to the official road, a cavalry galloped towards this side, and then quickly dismounted and held his fist to Chai Shao who was hidden in it.
Chai Shao's spirit was shocked, and he was a little excited when he heard the words: "Okay! Jie Li did not disappoint the general! Can you recognize who the leader is?"
"Going back to the general, the enemy general is Ashina Sheergui. A few years ago, the Turks invaded the border of Datang, and his subordinates went north with General Qin to fight the enemy. I have seen him!"
The soldier replied with a fist.
Ashina Sheer, also known as Ashina Sher, a Turkic nobleman, was originally the second son of Chuluo Khan. At the age of eleven, he was famous for his wisdom and bravery, and the unparalleled archery skills. The tribe leader), set up the Yaqi (a banner decorated with ivory as a flag for the general or leader) in Mobei, and Jie Li Khan’s son Yugushe ruled the Tiele, Huihe, and Tongluo tribes respectively. Ashina Sheeryi used a loose policy to retreat and support the people. He was an official for ten years without levying taxes. There was a saying: "The tribe is rich, and it is enough for me."
"It turned out to be Ashina Sheergui? Good! Today, this general has avenged the revenge of the year for Shubao! You, go and explore again and report again!"
Hearing that Jie Li had sent a heavyweight general such as Ashina Sheerhui to rescue Liang Shidu, Chai Shao was not afraid, but became more excited, and he quickly ordered the scout.
In the sixth year of Wude, the Turks invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty. Qin Qiong accompanied the Qin King Li Shimin at the time and led his army northward to resist the Turks. In a battle, Qin Qiong accidentally got into a siege, and the Turkic leader at that time had both wisdom and courage and arrows. The famous Turkic general Ashina Sheergui, known as Shu Wushuang.
Although caught in a heavy siege, it was naturally impossible for Qin Qiong to dismount and suffer surrender. In the melee between the two sides, Ashina Sheer looked at the timing and shot Qin Qiong's heart with one arrow. Had it not been for Han Tianhu to give up his life to rescue, Qin Qiong might have died in the battle in the sixth year of Wude! But even so, one of Han Tianhu's leg was disabled because of an arrow injury!
Therefore, Chai Shao is now saying that he is helping Qin Qiong to avenge his revenge, rather than avenging Han Tianhu!
"Yes! General!"
The sergeant led away immediately.
Chai Shao told the left and right: "Turkic reinforcements are here, order the three armies to prepare for battle!"
"Here~!"
The left and right officials took the lead immediately.
It has been six days since the army arrived outside Shuofang City. A lot of things have happened in these six days.
First of all, the crops in the farmland outside Shuofang city have been trampled by the cavalry led by Xue Wanjun. The Liang division is all overwhelmed and exhausted. Send troops to clean up them, fearing that there will be a large army of Tang army behind, but not Send troops, you can only watch the crops being destroyed in a mess.
In the end, the people in the city were panicked. After all, the city of Shuofang has become a "dead city". The gates of the city are closed by Master Liang, and all the crops outside the city are trampled and trapped in the city, which means that sooner or later they will be Starved to death, and Tang's army was lurking outside the city. Although this matter has not been confirmed, it is already a fact that everyone knows and tacitly accepts!
Seeing that the people in the city were getting more and more fierce, Shih Liang had to send people to announce the news that the reinforcements of the Liang Kingdom would arrive soon, and at the same time they sent soldiers out of the city to ask for help from Jie Li Khan on the grassland.
Although Li Xiaogong's troops noticed the soldiers sent by Liang Shidu for help, they did not stop it, because one of the purposes of the imperial court this time was to seduce the Turks to send troops!
On the afternoon of the day when Liang Shidu sent troops to ask for help, Li Xiaogong led the main force to surround Shuofang City. Seeing Tang army besieged the city on all sides, the people, gentry, and officials in the city were even more panicked.
At the same time, if Liu Min, the governor of Xiazhou, had sent hundreds of spies into the city, they suddenly "struck" together, and all kinds of rumors arose in the city, such as: How many civilian girls were robbed by Liang Shidu’s son, After Liang Shidu had drunk and occupied ten court ladies in the palace, and afterwards all those court ladies were thrown into the snake pond to feed snakes by the queen, Liang Shi all took refuge in Turks for his own glory, and Liang Shi all took the wives of officials.
All kinds of rumors, no matter whether they are true or false, are all spread out in a pattern, just like the truth! As a result, Master Liang’s popular reputation in the Liang Kingdom fell again and again. Master Liang also wanted to spot those Tang spies who spread rumors, but he didn’t have that energy at all, because now many people have appeared in the city. The violent incident against the government is more serious. There are no soldiers mutiny in the army. Although all those mutinies have been ruthlessly suppressed, the military spirit has been shaken. At this time, if you are careless, you will lose everything.
Therefore, Master Liang didn't dare to do anything lightly, he could only win over some high-ranking generals, Xu Zhiyi of high-ranking officials, wealthy and beautiful women, but if such a win-win was true allegiance, then only God knew!

"Drive~!"
"Boom boom!"
After waiting for about an hour, the place where Chai Shao's army was lurking, finally heard the sound of horses hoofs coming from afar.
Chai Shao's expression was extremely tense, and he commanded left and right: "The order goes on, and when the Turkic army enters our pockets, prepare to trip the horse! Next is the archer to prepare! Finally the cavalry charge!"
"Yes! General!"
The left and right generals led away.
"Boom boom!"
The sound of horseshoes was getting closer, and the Tang generals who were lying in the bushes on both sides of the official road could already faintly feel that the earth was shaking!
Twenty zhang, fifteen zhang, ten zhang, five zhang, and three zhang, the Turkic wolf riders did not realize that there was anything wrong. The whole team was still running at a super high speed, because they had already gotten their way on the way. Knowing the news that Shuo Fang City was surrounded by the Tang Army, they must rush to Shuo Fang City before Shuo Fang City was breached, so they must use the fastest speed!
"Get up!"
"Swish swish!"
I don't know who yelled loudly, and dozens of stalking horses were suddenly pulled up on both sides of the road, and the Turkic army was caught off guard. The first third of the leading troops were suddenly tripped and turned over!
The cavalry behind was running at such a high speed, it was impossible to slow down and avoid them. They were all like dumping dumplings, and they were carried in the pile of meat in front of them!
"There is an ambush! There is an ambush! Order the cavalry behind to slow down immediately!"
Turkic general Ashina Sheer jumped off his horse at a critical moment. At this moment, he stood still and quickly shouted.
But in this state, the Turkic wolf rider wants to slow down completely at once. How easy is it to say? The powerful inertia caused batches of cavalry to fall on the soldiers who were tripped to the ground before. After all the four thousand leading troops of Ashina Sherri fell, the army finally stopped!
Ashina Sheergui looked at the pile of corpses of Turkic cavalry in front of him. Although he felt distressed, he knew that it was not the time to be sentimental. He quickly commanded the army and set up a new formation!
At this moment, the bushes on the right side of the road suddenly stood up from among thousands of Tang Jun bows and crossbowmen. They bent their bows and set up arrows, and they made it in one go, and then aimed directly in the direction of the Turkic army!
"No! Disperse the formation! Everyone is on the horse! Go!"
Ashina Sheer's complexion changed, and he quickly ordered.
There was no problem with his command, but it was a little bit late. Chai Shao waved his hand, and suddenly a rain of arrows struck toward the Turkic army!
"Shoo~!~~!"
The sound of the rain of arrows, the sound of arrows entering the flesh, are endless, and the wailing of countless Turkic soldiers sounded in the Turkic camp!
"Flush! Flush out their archers!"
Ashina Sheergui swung a knife away from the arrows that were flying towards him, and led the cavalry around him, biting his head and charging towards Tang Jun’s crossbowmen!
Because he knew that at this distance, Tang Jun would definitely have to be shot from behind by Tang Jun. He could only bite the bullet and crush Tang Jun’s archer team before he could face Tang Jun in a decisive battle and have a ray of life!
At this time, the "relentlessness" in the Turkic people's bones was manifested. Although many Turkic soldiers still had feather arrows stuck in their bodies, they still followed Ashina Sher's fiercely and rushed towards the Tang army, even with blood. They dyed their clothes red, they still didn't care!
The Turkic Wolf Cavalry is indeed a well-known elite cavalry, well-deserved reputation!
Chai Shao's eyes sunk slightly, even as an opponent, he had to admire the cavalry on the opposite side a little!
He stretched out his right hand, and just about to give orders to the left and right, ordering the cavalry behind Tang Jun to charge, a strange scene that everyone hadn't expected appeared!
Seeing that the sun was still shining and the sky was clear the moment before, the sky suddenly became darker and darker at this moment, and soon I could no longer see my fingers!
Facing the weird scene, not only the Turkic cavalry was greatly panicked, but even the Tang Army also appeared a little commotion!
At the first time, everyone was at a loss!
The Turkic offensive paused for a while, and the military order Chai Shao wanted to pass down also paused!
"Don't panic, this is God helping us Datang! The archer obeyed the order and gave me a fierce shot in the direction of the Turks! The rest of the soldiers, tripping the horse to prepare, let all the Turks disarm the general!"
Although the celestial phenomena were weird, Chai Shao quickly settled down at the critical moment. He had an idea and suddenly had a plan, so luckily, he shouted loudly.
Not only did Tang Jun hear his shout, but also the Turkic people on the opposite official road!
Chai Shao's idea is very simple, that is, now that the sky is suddenly completely dark and your army can't see it, then your Turkic cavalry can't see it either! He shouted that in the dark environment, the Turks could not see the surroundings. They must be afraid of the stubble on the ground. They would not dare to charge here any more. The archer could take the opportunity to move towards the original Turks at this time. There will be more volleys in the direction where people are coming!
Otherwise, if Tang Jun's cavalry went to rush into the battle in this dark environment, it was very likely that they would accidentally injure their own people, and the outcome would be difficult to predict! The gain is not worth the loss!
Sure enough, in this kind of invisible environment, when Chai Shao said that there were still slings on the ground, the Turkic wolf rider immediately threw the rodents, and involuntarily slowed down the speed of the horses. After all, the slings just now caused the Turkic army to lose three to four thousand people!
The Turks slowed down their horses, but the Tang Jun archers didn’t stop at all. Although they didn’t understand when Chai Shao hid his horses beside the official road, at this time, they just obeyed the order and faced the Turkic cavalry. The direction of the salvo is done!
(Actually, all Tang Jun’s stumbling horses were ambushed on the official road. There was no one on either side of the official road. Chai Shao was completely deliberately deceiving the Turks)
Although they can't see people, they still remember the general direction. They only need to shoot in that direction. Anyway, there are many Turks, and they can definitely shoot!
"Shoo, hoo~!"
In the dark night, countless rain of arrows rushed towards the Turkic army. At this time, the Turks had a sling in front of them, preventing them from sprinting at full speed, but if they turned to escape, in this dark environment, they would definitely hit To the comrades in arms, and the back is very likely to be shot into a hornet's nest by Tang Jun!
dilemma!
The Turkic army at this time is really in a dilemma!
"Retreat~! The whole army retreats~! The rear army becomes the former army, the former army becomes the rear army, all retreat!"
Tang Jun "closed his eyes", and after a few rounds of volleys, the Turkic army suffered heavy casualties. Why did he close his eyes? Because you can’t see your fingers right now, aren’t those archers shooting arrows with their eyes closed?
Ashina Sheergui knew that in this state, the Turkic army was completely unable to fight against the Tang army. He didn’t know what "demon trick" Tang used to make the sky suddenly turn black, but even at this time When it's on, he can't beat Tang Jun with these remnant soldiers! It's better to act decisively and decisively order to retreat, so as to preserve some vitality, and make a comeback after returning!
Naturally, there was an order soldier who relayed Ashina Sheergui's order, and the Turkic army immediately changed its formation, leaving behind a corpse in one place, and then fleeing toward the official road far away in the dark, relying on memory!
Hearing that the Turks were about to flee, Chai Shao was anxious, and all bows and arrows had a range. If the Turks had escaped from the range, then he would be completely lost! But in this dark environment, if he rashly lets the cavalry chase him, not only will he not be able to chase him, but it is very likely that the cavalry will stumble themselves because they can't see the road clearly!
At this moment, a magical scene appeared!
Above the sky, a corner of the sun suddenly appeared~EbookFREE.me~ Then, the exposed part of the sun grew bigger and bigger, and soon the sky was bright again!
From night to dawn, everyone couldn't adapt to the strong sunlight. Chai Shao blindfolded his eyes slowly. After adapting to the strong sunlight outside, he shouted: "The soldiers of the three armies listen to the order! Get on the horse! Chase!"
"Here~!"
The generals of the Tang army yelled their promises. After a while, Chai Shao led thirty thousand elites and chased them towards Ashina Sheergui!
It is said that the poor will not chase after them, but he must chase these defeated Turkic soldiers today!
