Chapter 279 Bloody Battle in the Canyon
A commander ran to the great chief Sare and cried, "General Lodar is dead!"

"what!"

Sare's eyes widened. The news of his son's death made his liver and gallbladder crack. He drew out his saber, roared hysterically, and charged forward on his horse.

But Sare saw that his cavalry were constantly retreating, and he asked angrily, "Why don't you charge out?"

Several generals complained one after another: "Chief, Tang Jun's saber array is too sharp, and has killed thousands of brothers. They are invulnerable, and we have no way to deal with them!"

"A group of idiots, get out of the way!"

Sare yelled at his subordinates, and personally urged his horse to rush to the front. He also saw that a hundred steps ahead, patches of cold light flickered, and their soldiers were beheaded by the enemy row by row like weeds. With one knife and two paragraphs, countless heads flew up in the air, and blood sprayed out.

The entire valley was filled with blood mist, their faces and bodies were wet, and there was blood all over them. The hundreds of cavalrymen in the front were almost frightened, screaming in fear, crying and running back for their lives, but they still Doomed.

Sare was stunned by the bloody scene in front of him, and he forgot the revenge of murdering his son in an instant. At this moment, a cold arrow shot past his ear, and he suddenly reacted and shouted in fear: "Retreat! Withdraw into the valley! "

The cavalry behind quickly retreated, and the cavalry in front finally had a space, and they all turned around and ran wildly. After a while, Ge Luolu's cavalry escaped cleanly.

An Taixuan regretted in his heart, just now he saw Sare and shot an arrow, but missed.

Ge Luolu's army suffered heavy casualties. More than [-] people were shot and killed in the first charge, and more than [-] people were beheaded in the second charge, and more than [-] people died in total.

Although the loss was less than [-]%, Ge Luolu's military spirit had completely collapsed. The cavalrymen squatted on the ground and vomited, and many soldiers cried with their heads in their arms. People are sad, and morale has been extremely low.

The great chief Sare had no choice but to sit on the boulder in a daze. At this time, Tali, the eldest son of Sare, discussed with his son-in-law Kula for a while, and the two stepped forward to persuade: "Father, the Tang army has blocked the entrance of the valley, and we can no longer get out. Now morale is low and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, once the Tang army comes in, the end will definitely be annihilation of the whole army, it is better to climb out of the cliff."

"People can go out, but what about horses? Also, once the Tang army pursues, we will be unable to resist."

The eldest son Tali said anxiously: "There are many ways to turn over. As for us, we still have a chance to survive and escape back to the tribe, but if we are stuck in the canyon, we will all die. Father, don't hesitate anymore, give an order quickly. !"

"Father-in-law, give the order!"

Sare looked up at the cliff, the north part of the cliff was indeed not too high, and he could climb out.

He had no choice but to let out a long sigh, "Give up on the horses, everyone climb out!"

..........
It was almost dawn, and the eastern sky was turning pale. After a night of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the Tang Army did not look tired, but were still full of energy.

Outside the valley, [-] heavy armored Modao troops and [-] crossbowmen still blocked the entrance of the valley, and [-] cavalry were also ready to fight at any time.

Li Ye stared at the mountain, waiting for the news from the top of the mountain. If the enemy army rests in the valley, they will immediately enter the valley. If the enemy army is about to flee over the mountain, it is time for his cavalry to show their strength .

At this moment, several rockets flew into the sky from the top of the mountain, and the bright red flames were particularly dazzling in the air.

The enemy army began to flee over the mountain. Li Ye urged his horse to run in front of the cavalry teams, and shouted sharply: "Listen, all brothers, the Ge Luolu people are Suiye's confidant, this is our chance to get rid of the confidant, we You can't have the benevolence of a woman, you must kill them all, only the dead Ge Luolu is not a threat!"

The blood of the cavalry was boiling, and they raised their spears and shouted, "Kill——"

Li Ye waved his long spear, "Attack!"

"Ugh-"

The low-pitched trumpets of the Tang army sounded, and teams of cavalry were dispatched. Li Ye personally led five thousand cavalrymen of the Tang army and galloped northward on horseback. The mountains in this area were undulating and the terrain was complicated. They had to detour for dozens of miles to find the enemy.

Pei Xiu stayed at the mouth of the valley and continued to monitor the movement of the enemy in the valley to prevent the enemy from attacking from east to west.

An hour later, the sky was already bright, and the cavalry of the Tang Army finally found thousands of Geluolu soldiers fleeing between the two hills. They were like migrating deer. Run away.

"Kill ah-"

Five thousand Tang Army cavalry roared, and galloped their horses to chase and kill the opponent. For a while, the yellow dust billowed, murderous, and looked from a high altitude, a large group of small black spots were running desperately in front, and a long line of cavalry behind them was getting closer and closer, gradually chasing after them. When it got on them, it was like a giant snake, devouring these running little black dots.

The Tang army mainly consisted of Broken Leaf Cavalry and Ningyuan Army cavalry. They caught up with the enemy. No matter how much the opponent knelt down and begged for mercy, they were as hard as iron and killed the opponent. It flowed into a river, chased and killed for more than ten miles, and all four thousand Ge Luolu people were slaughtered.

Ge Luolu's cavalry consisted of more than [-] men, and they were divided into two armies, the north and the south, to retreat. The Ge Luolu army that was discovered and caught up by the Tang army was the northern team. Ge Luolu, who usually returned hundreds of miles away, must have fled northeast. , it is for this reason that Sare and his son and son-in-law are in the southern team.

They escaped slowly with their feet. They escaped for more than [-] miles, and they were discovered by the scouts of the Tang Army. Sare was frightened out of his wits, and was supported by several personal soldiers to run wildly.

It was also because he deserved to die. At this moment, more than 100 herdsmen on horseback came ahead, driving tens of thousands of sheep. They were recruited by Sare as logistics, and they happened to be driving [-] sheep over.

Sare was like a man who was about to drown in the water and suddenly caught a log. He was overjoyed and drove all the herdsmen off their horses. His sons and sons-in-law, more than a dozen generals and his own soldiers got on their horses one after another, regardless of the life or death of the soldiers and herdsmen behind. Urging the horse to run wildly and flee for his life.

At this moment, Li Ye led [-] cavalrymen to catch up, and rushed into the enemy group in an instant. The Geluolu people suddenly wailed and screamed. The soldiers in front took off their armor and ran away, and many soldiers who could not run fast Kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, what awaited them was the cavalry of the Tang army mercilessly slaughtering them, slashing at their necks with icy blades.

Sare still escaped with more than [-] men, but his [-] cavalry could not escape the pursuit of the Tang army in the end. The whole army was wiped out and died in the valleys and hills north of Ashbulai City.

Although the first battle of the Khorasan Army of the Dashi Khorasan was defeated and more than 5000 people were lost, the commander Abu Muslim was not discouraged. The Sogdian Kingdom originally wanted to be neutral, but the situation of the war could no longer tolerate them at both ends. They had no choice but to muster [-] troops from the four small countries and rushed to Baishui City to help in the battle. [-] people.

Abu Muslim was not in a hurry to go to battle, but reorganized the [-] Sogdian army, replaced all the generals above the captain, and all the soldiers from Dashi served as the generals of the opponent, and then broke up and re-formed.

Ten days later, the Great Food Army had completed its initial integration. This time, Abu Muslim no longer underestimated the enemy. He led 5000 people to fight together, and once again attacked the city of Talas in a mighty manner.
