Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1179

Pull and change the river.

After more than [-] people led by Jie Liedian gathered the defenders of Dashicheng, they blocked the Qin army's way.

"Release the prince!"

The Turkic envoy rode up immediately and brought Jie Liedian's order.

Monk Xu laughed, "Su Fabu robbed me of Silk Road and killed me Qin Shang. I must take him back for interrogation."

Jie Liedian didn't expect that the people of Qin would still be so stubborn at this time.

"General, if we attack by force, the prince's life may be in danger."

"We can't let the Qin people take the prince away, otherwise the prince's life will be lost. Send an order, attack, rescue the prince, destroy the Qin people, and avenge the slaughtered people in Dunduo City!"

On the other side, Monk Xu was also making tactical deployments, "I didn't expect this Jie Liedian to come so fast. I wanted to go in and out quickly, but I had no choice but to fight. But we can't fight with them here, let's switch Tug of war, pretending to be defeated, and leading them into the desert."

"I agree with the deployment of the commander. There are Bachang City and Dashi City nearby. There are only more than [-] soldiers from Jie Lie Dian in a hurry, but there will be more soldiers coming at any time. We have to avoid the enemy's advantage and lure them. Go to the desert to fight, so that you don't have to worry about other Kucha troops coming to help, and you can concentrate on annihilating them."

The Kucha people took the lead in attacking. Monk Xu commanded 3000 troops. As soon as he approached the enemy, he let the Tibetans in the city pretend to run away, and then the other children followed suit, and they all fled to the bank of the Bahuan River.

The Tug Huan River originates from the Tianshan Mountains and is melted snow water from the Tianshan Mountains. Although it is a river that flows in all seasons, the river is wide and the water is not deep.

Fanzi, patrolling children and Tunpu militiamen crossed the river one after another.

The five hundred patrolling cavalry led by Monk Xu pretended to insist.

Fight with Kucha vanguard and defeat its vanguard before pretending to retreat.

"Chase!"

The people of Kucha were chasing after them, relying on more than 3000 troops, they obviously didn't pay much attention to Monk Xu and the others. After all, they knew very well that there were more than [-] Qin people. In fact, the real Qin army was only the battalion of [-] patrolling cavalry. If there were really three thousand Qin troops here, they would have to think carefully about it.

Lead and chase.

Unknowingly, the two armies have penetrated dozens of miles into the desert.

There is yellow sand all over the place, and there is no human habitation, not even a single piece of green grass can be seen.

Monk Xu looked about the same, and ordered to stop luring the enemy.

"Array!"

Monk Xu called some of the leaders of the Tibetans in the city over, "It's time for you to make meritorious deeds, and you will take the lead in a while."

The chiefs of the Tuzi in the city were also happy, "No problem, after killing the enemy, please ask Commander Xu to give us some credit and give us some rewards."

These Chengpang Fanzi are different from ordinary tribes. They are all extremely small tribes, or are composed of scattered people who have already come out of the tribe. They have registered with the Daqin household registration, and they are Qin people in name.

But it is not that simple to really integrate into Daqin.

What these Tibetans want most is not only fields, money and silk, they also want an official rank in the Tang Dynasty, even an honorary officer.Fanzi with official ranks or honors are no longer ordinary Fanzi. They can meet the officials of Daqin without bowing down, and they can even sit on an equal footing.

"Go!"

Fanzi ran back to their team and started shouting.

Monk Xu continued to deploy.

He ordered the soldiers and militiamen to be deployed on the two wings behind the sand dunes as a reserve team.

Then he lined up along the sand dunes with five hundred patrol light cavalry.

Xu Xiucai and the people from the caravan were arranged to be with his disciples. He wanted to go with Xunqi, but he was not allowed in the end, not even a sharpshooter like Zhang Tou.

"Let's go, we are not from the cavalry battalion, we don't have a tacit understanding with them, if we really fight, we will affect them instead." Zhang Shigui saw it clearly, and took the lead to retreat tactfully.

"But the thousand or so foreigners taking the lead won't be of much use at all, right?" Although Xu Xiucai has never been a soldier, he can always see the situation.

"You don't understand this. From the beginning to the end, Commander Xu was never afraid of those ten thousand Turks. He led them here, but he wanted to fight this battle without interruption and without accidents. As for the more than a thousand Turks Fanzi, it's just a bait."

"What bait?"

"Just take a closer look in a while. Our Commander Xu is very good at using soldiers. He is worthy of being from the emperor's side with an imperial weapon background. It seems that he has indeed been taught by the emperor." Zhang Shigui sighed.

Originally, he was a little worried when he heard that the commander was a monk, but now he has been deeply convinced all the way here.

The Turkic army in Kucha also began to stop their pursuit and was regrouping.

Before they could complete their formation, more than a thousand people from Fanzi in the city took the lead in attacking.

Most of these towns are composed of Turks and Sogdians, and their tactics are no different from those of the Turks. They also use light cavalry to shoot.

The Qiuci army immediately divided two armies to outflank the left and right, trying to encircle the thousand or so people and surround them.The fanboys near the city were also clever. Seeing that the situation was not right, they retreated immediately, riding and shooting at the same time.

After a while, they withdrew.

Monk Xu asked the messenger to pass the order with the order flag, and asked the Fanzi in the city to walk around from one side to the back to rest.

"Fans are too useless, isn't it?" Xu Xiucai sighed greatly.

Zhang Shigui laughed and said, "The Fanzi have already fulfilled the purpose of Commander Xu. You see, the Kucha army has already pursued them before they can be reorganized. Look carefully at their army formation, isn't it a little too scattered? "

"Could it be that the purpose of the attack by the Fanzi in the city is to prevent the Kucha people from reorganizing their army?"

"Yes."

"But what's the use of this, the Kucha army still has more than ten thousand people."

"Hahaha, you have never been a soldier and fought a war, so you don't understand the role of the military formation, look carefully."

The Kucha army roared in pursuit, seeming to think that the Patrolling Battalion would be as vulnerable as those fanboys.

Monk Xu under the banner, "Bring Prince Qiuci up!"

Su Fabu shouted, "Let me go, surrender!"

Monk Xu took the sword from his own soldiers, "You know this sword, the imperial weapon given by the emperor. I used to wear this sword when I was a servant in the palace. This is Shangfang sword bestowed by the emperor. Today, I just use it to cut off your dog's head. Sacrifice the flag!"

"you dare!"

Monk Xu smiled slightly, drew his sword, and chopped it down.

The head of Sufabu, Prince of Kucha, fell to the ground.

Monk Xu didn't take the sword away, he directly raised the sword and mounted the horse.

"Boys of the Patrolling Battalion, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

Five hundred scouts roared in unison.

Monk Xu led the charge.

The five hundred patrolling riders recoiled directly against the more than ten thousand riders in Kucha.

Behind the sand dunes, Xu Xiucai and others watched the confrontation from above.

I saw five hundred scouts galloping forward like sharp arrows.

The two armies touch, collide.

But the [-] Patrolling Battalion hardly stopped, and directly broke through the scattered forwards of the Kucha people, advancing steadily like a sharp knife through a bamboo.

The dust rose, and the Qin flag was invincible, moving forward until it penetrated the Kucha army.

Immediately afterwards, Monk Xu led the scouts, turned around and fought back again, and once again killed the Kucha army.

Once, twice, three times, breaking through the formation again and again, the Kucha army was finally defeated. They had never encountered such a tough and powerful Qin army.

"Jie Liedian's handsome flag has been withdrawn to the west!"

"Jie Liedian ran away!"

The Kucha army was defeated like a mountain, and they fled one after another.

Xu Xiucai's blood was boiling with enthusiasm, and he wished he could immediately recite a poem.

While he was still thinking about the poem, Zhang Shigui had already jumped up, raising his voice and shouting, "Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"

Behind the sand dunes, nearly three thousand disciples, the townspeople, and the townspeople jumped on their horses one after another, rushed out, and it was time to beat the dog in the water.
