Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

The success was beyond the imagination of Liu Rengui and Dugu De.

Only two hundred horsemen broke into the Turkic camp and created a chaos that even the Tuli Khan could not control if he arrived... All this was thanks to Ashina Jisheshu.

With hot blood filling his body, Liu Rengui roared loudly and drove his horse back and forth, killing any Turks in sight... In fact, this general who did not become famous until his later years in history had this temperament.

Suddenly changing his mind and attacking the Turkic camp directly, Su Dingfang, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong would not have done it, but Liu Rengui would... Otherwise, how could this man have made great achievements in history by accompanying the army in white.

The chaos has become uncontrollable, not only because of the escape of the main general Ashina Kushiro, but also because of the fire that has spread.

After Sun Dalang spread the kerosene to various places, Dugu De led a hundred cavalry to catch up, either throwing torches or shooting rockets to set fire to the granaries everywhere.

Looking by the light of the fire, the snowflakes flying in the night sky were floating randomly, and a large amount of grain and grass that was ready to be transported tomorrow were being ignited one after another, making a crackling sound.

Dugu De grabbed a horse-stem, excitedly drove his horse to catch up, smashed the heads of several Turks who had lost their mounts, led more than a hundred cavalry into the Turks' rear camp, and joined forces with Liu Rengui. Killing wantonly in the dark night, only when you are close to the fire can you occasionally catch a glimpse of the blood that keeps splattering.

When hundreds of infantrymen under Dugu De arrived with torches, the fire spread from one place to everywhere, and the few Turks who gathered to resist also fled one after another.

All in all, the remaining Turkic forces were completely defeated, which gave the Turkic forces heading south a desperate mood.

After all, the Tang army that forcibly crossed the Muma River did not have many troops. The most important thing was that it was difficult to transport the horses. However, these Tang soldiers did not have chariots to cover them, or even shields. Although Qin Qiong and Xue Wanjun, two fierce generals, continued to lead A small number of cavalry were dispatched, but the situation was irreversible.

Just when Qin Qiong began to consider whether to retreat, the suddenly bright night sky in the distance boosted the morale of the Tang army... This place is nearly twenty miles away from Dingxiang County, and even the night sky is bright. There is no doubt that this is A fire of immense proportions.

Xue Wanjun drove his horse out excitedly. It seemed that the previous fight had not consumed any of his energy. The fierce general from Hebei entered the formation as easily as a steel knife cutting through butter. All the Turks in front of him turned their horses.

Ashina Suni looked at the faintly bright night sky with a loss of face. Ashina Jishe, who was left behind, still had at least a thousand troops under his command, and there were troops stationed between Dingxiang County and Xiurong County. How did the Tang army do it? A surprise attack on Dingxiang County?

But everything was irreversible. Ashina Sunishi knew very well that it was not difficult to defeat the Tang army in front of him. However, after the fire, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted. Even if he wanted to defeat the opponent, it would take a long time.

The most important thing now is time.

And there is another key point. The Tang army has already attacked Dingxiang County. Who knows whether they will set a fire and go south?

Ashina Suni looked around and saw frustrated and confused faces... A fire burned not only a large amount of food and grass, but also the fighting spirit of all the Turks.

Ashina Sunish immediately issued an order, and the nearly 10,000 Turkic troops retreated northward... not even paying attention to the pursuit of hundreds of Tang cavalry behind them.

Anyway, the Turkic horses were fast, so the Tang cavalry couldn't kill many no matter how hard they tried... What's more, at night, it was inconvenient for the cavalry to move. "Liu Rengui has made a great contribution in this battle!" Qin Qiong fought bravely in the battle formation, but he has always had a stable temperament, and he couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart at this moment.

At the most critical moment, this fire will become the most important turning point... not just this war, but also the turning point of this battle.

Qin Qiong quickly directed the entire army to cross the river. The most important thing was to transport the horses over, and at the same time asked Xue Wanjun to personally lead hundreds of cavalry to the north to investigate.

After the whole army crossed the river, Xue Wanche had already reached the outside of Dingxiang County. He witnessed the raging fire and met Liu Rengui and Dugu De who were fighting fearlessly in the battle formation.

It must be said that Dugu De had the same strong desire to make contributions as Zhang Zhongjian and Qu Silang, but his abilities did not match... After setting a fire, he actually wanted to escape through a boat arranged in advance in Shahe.

Or was it because of Liu Rengui's reminder that he reacted? How would the Turks react to such a big fire?

Should we kill our small force of less than a thousand to take revenge and vent our anger, or should we choose to escape after seeing that the food and grass have been burned?

This was a logically very simple question, so Liu Rengui and Dugu De led their troops to cruise in the north of Dingxiang County.

Just as Liu Rengui judged, after Ashina Sunisu realized that everything was irreversible, he was naturally preparing to leave Dingxiang... Whether he went north to Tanglingang or went west to join Tuli Khan, he would not stay in Dingxiang. .

A fire, a heavy snow... almost all the Turks had no idea of ​​continuing to fight, and everyone was anxious to return to the grassland.

At this time, Liu Rengui and Dugu De came out and attacked directly from the north of Dingxiang County. Although they only had less than a thousand horses, they threw the Turkic army into chaos.

Nearly ten thousand troops, less than a thousand Tang cavalry... one to ten, but the key lies not in the charge of Liu Rengui and Dugu De, but in their appearance, and even more in their coming from the north.

Countless Turks had to consider a question in their minds: why did the Tang army come from the north? To the north of Dingxiang County is Tanglingang, which is Daizhou. Has the Tang army already captured Daizhou?

The fighting was not violent, but the fluctuation of people's hearts caused chaos in the Turkic army. Ashina Suni could not control it despite his best efforts.

At this time, Xue Wanjun led nearly a thousand Tang cavalry and charged into the Turkic formation from the south. Unlike those led by Liu Rengui and Dugu De, Xue Wanjun's charge was very brave. He only charged once and was cut off. defeated the Turkic rear army.

At this moment, chaos spread to the entire army. Ashina Sunishi could no longer do anything. Even if he wanted to lead his troops to stop Tang Qi, who had turned his horse to pursue him, he could not do it. He could only be dragged northwest by the army. Escape.

In other words, less than 2,000 Tang cavalry could easily drive away nearly 10,000 Turkic troops, and they were constantly chasing after them.

At this moment, outside Xiurong County, the stiff-bodied Tuli Khan sometimes looked to the east, sometimes to the north, and finally his eyes fell on the west.

It was only then that the only great Khan of the Turks was finally convinced that Li Huairen had really broken his promise.
