Chapter 339: The Tang Army Was Defeated by 500,000 Ambushed Troops (Part 2)
Tang army camp, on the watchtower.
Guo Dingfang, the Marquis of Zhenxi, who was responsible for delivering the decree, and Zuo Liangcai, the Marquis of Changxin, who was responsible for taking over Lan Yu's position as the deputy commander of the Anxi Protectorate (Beifu), had been on the watchtower of the camp, using the monocular telescope in their hands to look anxiously. And pay close attention to the movements on the battlefield.
Before the Anxi cavalry army of the Tang Dynasty set off today, General Lan Yu gave Guo Dingfang and Zuo Liangcai the task of staying in the camp. If the army failed to attack the Arab Empire's central army;
Let Guo Dingfang and Zuo Liangcai, who had experienced fierce battles with powerful enemies from outside the territory, lead the two thousand elite Anxi cavalry who stayed in the camp to cover the thousands of wounded soldiers in the camp to break out in advance, and also told the details of the Battle of Talos and Both the enemy and the enemy, including weapons, equipment, tactical arrangements, etc., truthfully reported to the emperor to provide experience for the Tang army to regain the Western Regions in the future.
At this time, the two sides have been fighting fiercely for several hours. The dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and the sky has become darker. It seems that the heavy clouds that cannot bear the burden may be like a river bursting its embankment at any time. Heavy rain poured down.
The mood of the generals who stayed behind in the Tang Army's camp was just like the dreary weather. They were depressed to a critical point and could explode at any time.
Even though the Tang cavalry was personally led by the powerful general Lan Yu, they were still unable to break through the Arab Empire's Chinese defense line in a short period of time. The outermost Arab armies took turns harassing and rushing the Tang cavalry.
If it weren't for the super elite soldiers produced by the [Born Emperor's Life] system with strong combat effectiveness and tenacious fighting will, these 30,000 Tang cavalry would have been defeated long ago when faced with an enemy force several times their own size. Come.
However, as the two sides fell into a fierce battle, time continued to pass, and there was not much time left for the Tang cavalry.
Otherwise, under the exhaustion of the Arab army's constant battles, even a super elite soldier with one against ten will sometimes be exhausted.
Seeing that the Arab army's defense line failed to be captured this time, and the Arab army took turns to harass the flanks and rear, Changxin Hou Zuo Liangcai, who stayed behind in the camp, finally couldn't sit still!
"Master Guo——"
I saw Zuo Liangcai put down the telescope in his hand, and said to Guo Dingfang next to him with a solemn expression: "I decided to lead the two thousand elite cavalry left behind in the camp to rush out of the camp and go to reinforce the Marquis of Anxi;"
"Here, the thousands of wounded soldiers in this camp will be handed over to Mr. Guo!"
"General Zuo——"
Hearing this, Guo Dingfang's brows sank. He had thousands of words on his lips but was unable to say them out.
Seeing this, Zuo Liangcai smiled and said: "Master Guo, after I lead my troops out of the camp and go to the battlefield, you should immediately lead the wounded soldiers in the camp to break out first!"
"Don't worry, even if I, Zuo Liangcai, risk my life, I will definitely hold back the enemy troops who are chasing you!"
"Master Guo, feel free to break out!"
Seeing that Zuo Liangcai had gone so far, Guo Dingfang no longer had anything to say. He just said to Zuo Liangcai with tears in his eyes: "General Zuo, take care!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Immediately, Zuo Liangcai pulled out his saber with a clang, raised his arms and shouted: "The two thousand Anxi cavalry soldiers who are staying in the camp are listening to the order——"
"Follow this general and ride out of the camp to assist the general in defeating the enemy's central army and cutting off the enemy's banner!"
"Kill!"
Soon, two thousand elite Anxi cavalrymen who were riding in the camp and on standby, led by Changxin Marquis Zuo Liangcai, roared straight towards the battlefield like a black lightning.
In the Tang Army's camp, as soon as the last two thousand cavalry left, Zhenxi Hou Guo Dingfang commanded the thousands of wounded soldiers in the camp, helping each other to get on horseback, and break out in the opposite direction.
Guo Dingfang turned back three times while riding on horseback. From the corner of his eye, he witnessed Zuo Liangcai charging into the battlefield. He was facing an enemy force that was dozens of times his own and was fighting hard to prevent the enemy from pursuing him.
Drive, drive, drive!
Finally, with tears in his eyes, Guo Dingfang urged his horse to speed up and broke through with the injured soldiers.
On the battlefield, Zuo Liangcai and two thousand Tang cavalry, who had no worries about their future, charged straight into the enemy's Persian cavalry.
With only two thousand cavalry, they just tore a hole in the enemy's formation of tens of thousands of Persian cavalry, which immediately relieved the pressure on the Tang cavalry who were attacked from the front and back.
General Lan Yu, who was personally commanding the cavalry to break the formation, was stunned for a moment when he saw the arrival of the reinforcements, and then he became energetic and said sternly: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived -"
"Follow the guidance of my general's blade, break through the enemy's defenses, kill the enemy's general, cut off the enemy's banner, kill!"
"Kill!"
On the battlefield, confidence is stronger than gold.
The arrival of two thousand reinforcements led by Zuo Liangcai boosted the morale of the Tang cavalry soldiers who were fighting hard. Coupled with the fact that General Lan Yu personally charged into the battle, the morale of the troops was even more exciting.
This wave of impact directly defeated the Arab soldiers who were already at the end of their fight. The defense line that was struggling to hold on suddenly spread like a dam bursting.
"Report——"
"Reporting to the General, our left defense line was breached by the Tang Army;"
"Report——"
"Reporting to the General, our left defense line was breached by the Tang Army;"
"General, please move quickly to avoid the Tang army's attack!"
On the watchtower of the central army of the Arab army, the sounds of messengers' announcements and the generals' voices asking the Eastern Expedition General Turhon to move to avoid danger were heard one after another.
However, Turhong, who was still sitting on the central army watchtower, looked at the Tang cavalry who had broken through the outer chariot shield defense line, and his eyes became unusually firm.
Hum!
Turhong snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Let this general temporarily avoid the edge of the small Tang army, what a joke!"
"Come here, take this general's sword, this general wants to meet the Tang army commander in person!"
"I obey the order!"
Turhong's personal guard captain immediately took the order and left.
Turhong, wearing a golden armor, stood up suddenly, which made people see his tall and strong physique and figure clearly. At a glance, it can be seen that he is a veteran soldier.
The two armies have fought so hard that the morale and military spirit of both sides have reached the critical point of collapse. This is the time to test the fighting will of the commanders of both sides.
Whoever shows his cowardice first will lose his morale.
As the general of the Abbasid Dynasty, how could Turhong not know this truth?
He only heard that he sneered at the Arab general who asked him to move away and avoid danger: "General Aini, you may have forgotten one thing. I am the first warrior of the Abbasid Dynasty appointed by the Caliph;"
"Today, I will open your eyes!"
"All soldiers, listen to my orders, follow me to meet the enemy!"
"I have received your orders!"
At the same time.
Lan Yu led his Yuhou Army, and after tearing open the chariot and shield defense line of the Arab Central Army, he galloped all the way and quickly killed to the position of the Central Army Lookout Tower with a devastating momentum.
Lan Yu's eyes were immediately attracted by the figure riding a tall white horse and wearing a golden armor.
It is obvious that this person should be Turhong, the general of the Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition.
Hum——
Lan Yu sneered: "You are just a foreign country, and you dare to act presumptuously. How can a barbarian general like you wear this golden armor?"
"Turhong, die!"
Before he finished speaking, Lan Yu had already waved the ring-headed sword in his hand and rode his horse to kill the enemy's main general Turhong.
Hahaha!
On the other side, Turhong, riding a tall horse, laughed wildly and roared: "Tang army's main general Lan Yu, today I will let you see the power of the first warrior of the Abbasid Dynasty!"
Go——
Then, Turhong also urged the warhorse under his crotch and rushed towards Lan Yu.
The personal guards of the two main generals also waved their swords, spears, swords and halberds, roaring and shouting to charge at each other.
Clang!
A collision, stone-breaking.
That was the sound of the fierce collision between the ring-handled sword in the hands of Lan Yu, the commander of the two armies, and the long-handled broadsword in Turhong's hand.
The two men's vigorous attack on horseback immediately made the brave and brave Lan Yu realize that the enemy commander Turhong was also a tough opponent, and his bravery was no less than his own.
Clang, clang, clang!
Then, the two men exchanged several moves on horseback, and the collision between the ring-handled sword and the long-handled broadsword splashed sparks everywhere. Each attack was a full-strength attack.
The hand holding the sword of Lan Yu was shaken so hard that the knuckles were hurt.
Turhong on the opposite side, however, seemed to be fine, and continued to swing the long-handled broadsword in his hand, slashing and slashing at Lan Yu fiercely. The latter had to block it and was exhausted.
Gradually, Lan Yu was somewhat defeated.
Fortunately, the Yuhou Army soldiers under Lan Yu were much stronger than the Arab soldiers under Turhong. Seeing that their commander was defeated, they divided their forces to fight against Turhong to relieve the pressure on the commander Lan Yu.
For a while, the two sides fought hard in the vast Talas wilderness.
Ga——
Ga, Ga——
Suddenly, there were bursts of falcon screams in the sky above Talas. Large falcons flapped their powerful wings and circled at low altitude, rushing towards the place where the two sides were fighting.
Woo, Woo——
Then, there were bursts of charge horns from all directions, which obviously had the unique timbre of the Western Regions.
A foreigner riding a white horse and holding a crescent-shaped scimitar first appeared on the Gobi sand ridge outside the battle zone, with a huge falcon lying on his shoulder. The man was actually the king of the fallen Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions, Tibes!
Behind him, fully armed Arab cavalry continued to climb the Gobi sand ridge, with bows and scimitars in their hands flashing a dazzling cold light.
This is not the end.
After Tibes appeared, fully armed Arab cavalry began to cross the hills on the Gobi sand ridges in all directions of Talas, staring at the Tang cavalry in the battle zone.
It was the ambush of the 500,000 Arab Empire's eastern expedition army in the Western Regions Shiguo, Rongluguo, Gumoguo, and Biluguo, all rushed to the battlefield of Talas.
Hahaha!
Seeing this, Turhong, the great general of the Abbasid Dynasty on horseback, could no longer conceal his unbridled and excited mood, and roared with a fierce smile: "Lan Yu, surrender and you will be spared!"
"Lan Yu, surrender and you will be spared!"
"Lan Yu, surrender and you will be spared!"
