Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

For Qin Wutong, he wanted to wash away the shame on his body through this battle. Among the soldiers who rushed for dozens of miles under his command, there were also many remnants of the Daizhou Army. They wanted to wash away the shame on them.

But for the Turks, every one of them knows that if they cannot fight their way out, they will die.

Although there was a sand river as a support, the weather was already cold at this time and the river was frozen. A large number of Turks galloped wildly. Qin Wutong, who was standing down, could see clearly that at least four or five places where the frozen ice on the river had been broken, and the Turks He fell embarrassingly and was wrapped in the bone-chilling river water.

But the Turks who followed ignored it and just went around the rupture, galloping in from other places or from anywhere.

Qin Wutong looked stern, knowing that he had underestimated the fighting spirit of the Turks... From the confrontation in Bingzhou until now, the Turks now have real fighting spirit and the fighting spirit to fight a bloody road.

The Turkic cavalry who rushed at the front had the thought to drive their horses to perform a difficult jump, jumping over the tree trunks blocked by the Tang army. At the same time, they did not forget to set up their bows and release arrows.

But the Turkic cavalry who came later didn't care at all and just kept galloping. Under the impact of hundreds of cavalry, the huge tree trunk was actually smashed into several pieces. Although many Turks fell to the ground in embarrassment and were killed. Countless horses trampled them to death.

"Fire arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

In the Tang army's formation, the military leaders of all sizes shouted loudly, and a large number of feather arrows came towards their faces, wrapping up the hundreds of Turkic cavalry at the front.

But it seems that only the waves of the long and turbulent torrent have been swallowed up, and the subsequent torrent is still coming, rolling in with more ferocity.

"The big shield is up, hold on!"

"Those behind shoot arrows, shoot arrows!"

"Pikemen come forward, you idiot, get on the ground!"

Qin Wutong gritted his teeth and stood in front with the spear in his hand. The end of the spear was stuck on the ground, the spear head was tilted upward, and his whole body was attached to the spear body.

It's close, it's close, it's not majestic, but it has an impact of hundreds of kilograms, including man and horse, and it hits the big shield hard.

Some of the Tang soldiers at the front were knocked back and even hung on the spearheads of the rear spearmen. Some were knocked to the ground and rolled, their chests were collapsed, and their mouths were full of blood.

The Turkic cavalry who had been supplemented from the rear continued to charge, and there was already a gap in the shields of the Tang army's front line.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and Qin Wutong tried his best to steady the tip of the spear in his hand. The tip of the spear had already sunk into the chest of a Turkic horse that was rushing toward him.

However, the Turks' momentum did not slow down, and there was only a clang, and the spearhead was abruptly broken. Qin Wutong's hand was empty, and he involuntarily rushed forward a few steps, just in time to avoid the Turks' scimitar.

The guards on the side came up and used spears to knock the Turks off their horses. The war horse, which was stabbed in the chest by the spear, rushed forward for more than ten steps and knocked over two Tang soldiers before falling to the ground.

A bloody and cruel fight unfolded in the short main road. The Tang army on the west side of the hill kept firing arrows to block it, and then concentrated its troops to pounce down. With side attacks from west to east, it finally managed to block the Turks' offensive and pushed them back. Many Turks were killed and fell into the Hutuo River to the west.

Tuli Khan, who had already crossed the Shah River, looked at this scene coldly, suddenly grabbed the Khan flag from the guard's hand, and drove his horse forward. The Tang army barely had any time to breathe. Another wave of offensive came. Qin Wutong's face was a little pale. He had already seen Khan Qi who had reached the front line fifty steps away.

Faced with a crazy offensive that came at a gallop, regardless of life and death, even if they knew they would die, they would pull a back before death. Hundreds of Tang soldiers who had just come down from the hill were swallowed up almost instantly. They had no shields or chariots. They have no ability to resist such cavalry.

Facing the Turks who were shouting and rushing toward him, only a dozen steps away from him, Qin Wutong smiled miserably. He didn't expect that he, who was trying to wash away the shame on his body, would be killed by the Turks so quickly.

At this time, Liu Heier and Zhang Shigui in the rear had already noticed that something was wrong. The flag of Tuli Khan suddenly moved forward, and the Turkic army accelerated.

"Qin Wutong has arrived!" Zhang Shigui reacted immediately, "It could also be Qin Qiong or Xue Wanjun!"

Liu Heier took out a telescope from his pocket and looked at it for a while. He saw that the Turkic army was in chaos, almost in a tribal manner, spreading across the entire front to retreat northward... It could not be to lure the enemy.

"Duan Zhixuan, you lead two thousand cavalry to the west. Zhang Shigui, you lead five hundred cavalry to the east to join forces with Qin Qiong's troops." Liu Heier quickly explained: "The remaining cavalry of a certain leader are behind and set off immediately!"

"By the way, send scouts to report back to Alang!"

When Li Shan received the news, the war between the two sides had already begun, but it was only a prologue and no real war.

It takes time for the Tang army to deploy troops. Duan Zhixuan went around to the west, and it took time for Zhang Shigui and Qin Qiong to join forces. Liu Heier led his army to advance and attack from the rear. Logically speaking, it could disrupt the Turks.

But the situation is different now. As the forwards stormed Tanglingang, the news spread throughout the Turkic army in a short period of time. Everyone knew that if they could not capture Tanglingang, they would be killed by the Tang army.

Chaos is certain, there is no need for the Tang army to attack, the Turkic army is already in chaos, but unity is also certain... to fight a bloody road.

When Duan Zhixuan led two thousand Tang cavalry around to the west side, tentatively trying to cut off the Turkic rear army, thousands of Turkic cavalry swooped up, completely ignoring the strength and weakness of both sides in cavalry charge.

Although Duan Zhixuan successfully broke out of the encirclement, he had to lead his army westward to distance himself from the Turkic army.

After Qin Qiong and Zhang Shigui joined forces on the other side, nearly 4,000 Tang cavalry attacked diagonally into the Turkic army. But even so... the Turks refused to flee and could only go north. To escape elsewhere would be suicide. .

Li Shan from the rear led his personal guards to the front. After watching the battle, his heart suddenly trembled. The Turks were fighting to the death, which must be a huge change in the situation in Daizhou, and it was a change that was extremely unfavorable to the Turks.

Originally, Li Shan was planning to let Qin Wutong seize Tanglingang and blockade Tuli Khan in Xinzhou. However, as the two sides confronted each other, Li Shan changed his mind and planned to let the main Turkic force pass Tanglingang and then let Qin Wutong intercept Tanglingang. Then Qin Qiong and Xue Wanjun pursued.

Although Turkic horses are said to be fast, they cannot run very far in the narrow passages in Yuanping County and Nao County. Moreover, coupled with the strength of the Turkic troops in Daizhou, it is impossible for the Tang army to get out of Yanmen Pass so quickly. The Tang army still has a chance... Not to mention that Su Dingfang should be in Shuozhou, probably outside Yanmen Pass.

Of course, the chance of capturing Tuli Khan is very slim, but even if his vitality is seriously injured, he can achieve his goal. Tuli Khan, who is defeated by the Tang Dynasty again, may not be able to unify the Turks.

Judging from the current situation, Qin Wutong should have seized Tanglingang first and is undergoing a fierce attack by the Turks.

Li Shan had a bad premonition in his heart.
