Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 426

What made the Western Turkic soldiers shudder even more was that the flickering flames reflected the shiny spear points, and the closest one was only one step away from them, or even just one step away!
A cross-cut hole, a ten-foot-long refusal carbine!

If I hadn't reined in the horse in time, I would have sent it up to be a skewer!
However, the igniting of the fire also has advantages and disadvantages. Don't think about sneak attacks, but be careful of Tang Jun's counterattack.

With the sound of a horn, the arrows of the soldiers roared, the crossbows were broken and the crossbows were furious, and the Western Turkic soldiers and horses turned their heads and fled.

"Yeah, it's called falcon hunting geese!"

In the dark night, Fan Sheng, the Zhonglang of Zuo Xiao and Wei Yi's mansion, laughed loudly.

Falcon hunting geese is a language of the Tang Dynasty. Falcons are birds of prey, invincible to geese. This interpretation can be found in the "Tang and Five Dynasties Language Dictionary", and the source is "Swords Ci" and "Bianwen Collection".

As for some of the translations as "hitting without fail", it's not wrong, but it doesn't feel so appropriate.

Fan Sheng still remembered what Fan Zheng reminded him to be extremely vigilant even in the daily camp, let alone when facing the enemy?

Camping at night, he was in charge of this side, all kinds of precautions were in place, and Cui Yiqi, the doctor of the warehouse department, was making fun of Fan Sheng for being too cautious.

Fan Sheng choked back directly: "You are in charge of the warehouse, what do you know about fighting? Know what it means to be prepared?"

Cui Yiqi rolled his eyes from choking.

It is not welcome for civil servants to do martial arts, unless you have a good record like Yang Hongli.

For the sake of your second nephew being in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, don't argue with you, or you will have to get nine years of Chen Su as Lumi next year!
Lumi is distributed by the Taicang Department of Sinong Temple. That's right, the wooden deeds that can be given to Lumi, the officials and people of all colors who should be distributed, are all determined by the Cangbu Division of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!
At dawn, Kucha and Western Turkic soldiers and horses came out from the west gate, and fled towards the city of Yiluolu in a somewhat chaotic manner.

As for the Kucha army who stayed on the top of the city as a cover, they are asking for more blessings.

Surrounding three and one is a psychological tactic.

However, no one should really count on Que's one, it is real.

No one is short-sighted.

Arrows were fired in unison, and the Kucha army was caught off guard, losing thousands of troops.

In the oblique stab, the young general Guo Daizhao was killed, and he led [-] riders with pocket tails, like driving a flock of sheep, driving tens of thousands of Kucha troops and Western Turkic soldiers to the west.

It's not that the Kucha army is so weak that it can't beat ten to one, it's just that Guo Daizhao has the prestige and blessing of the Anxi Protectorate on his body, and the Kucha soldiers have no intention of fighting at all!

It doesn't matter if Guo waits for the imperial edict, the key is that he, Aye, the deputy chief of the Kunshan Road Marching Army, the governor of Anxi, and the county magistrate Guo Xiaoke, is a really ruthless person.

Guo Xiaoke is not a fierce general, but he is a wise general. He has been promoted all the way through the ranks, and has never made mistakes. It is inevitable to be a little proud and complacent.

The only problem is that his Yangzhai county magistrate was conferred by Emperor Gaozu Taiwu in the first year of Wude. After that, he didn't make any progress in the title, not even the county magistrate.

However, Guo Xiaoke's reputation for defeating the Western Turks, chasing down Chuyuebu and Chumibu, and capturing Yanqi Longtuqizhi has long since resounded throughout the Western Regions, so Jie Liedian and Hu Lukun are not afraid.

"Withdraw all the way west!"

When this order was issued, the Qiuci army and the Western Turkic soldiers were like chaotic wild dogs, each of them only wanted to be a little faster than the robes around them.

No matter who is blocking the way, he will be killed with one blow!

Even if Guo Daizhao tried his best to fight, it is a miracle that the gains were not as good as the Qiuci army and the Western Turkic soldiers trampled on each other.

An hour later, Guo Xiaoke led the army to arrive, and Guo Daizhao repaid his merits with a little pride: "Deputy Chief, Bing Cao joined the army. Guo Daizhao led [-] soldiers of the Anxi Army, defeated ten times the enemy, and won the second level per capita."

It seems that the harvest is not satisfactory, but it is not.

The skill of jumping and swinging does not care about winning.

Guo Xiaoke laughed loudly: "It's a blessing for the Guo family to have a son like this!"

Guo Daizhao, the soldier Cao joined the army, from the seventh rank to the top rank, and can switch between civil and military at any time.

From this point of view, Guo Xiaoke is extremely loyal to Datang by bringing his eldest son with him to join the army.

As for liking luxury, he is not the only famous general who likes luxury in history.

so risky...

To be fair, at the beginning of the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion, the military strength was stretched.
If Guo Xiaoke dies well, all his mistakes can become good stories.

People often say: Don't judge a hero by success or failure, but how many people have really achieved it?
-
Yiluolu City.

The gates of the city were closed, and the oppressive atmosphere spread in the city.

Khalibushibi sat in the palace and sighed, while Nali discussed with Hu Lukun if he could ask for more reinforcements from the West Turkic Yipishekui Khan.

In the current Kucha, the Tang Dynasty forced it to be a vassal state, but they still wanted the old lord, but the old lord didn't dare to reject the Tang Dynasty explicitly, which made them annoyed.

Kucha's position is not wrong, it's just unwise.

As a general of Kucha, Jie Liedian can only mobilize troops from Zhucheng to defend Yiluolu City hard and do his best.

However, 20 soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city of Yiluolu. Just the large scene of camping made people feel dizzy.

Among other things, the entire city of Yiluolu, including the army and civilians, plus slaves, cannot make up the 20 people.

What's more, Datang's soldiers are notoriously capable of fighting. Can the troops in Kucha stand up to friction?

Ashnadur failed to fight for Khan in the Western Turks, and now he returns to the Western Regions, looking at the Western Turks and other countries, he can only sigh: there is no one who can fight.

The reason why the 20 troops were conscripted was to prevent the Western Turks from blatantly declaring war, but this Yibi Shekui Khan is a bit timid!

Outside the city gate, Ashina Helu, the former Western Turkic Yehu and now the chief of the Tang Kunqiu Road, waved his spear and shouted: "Ashina Helu is here! The Qiuci boy hastened to surrender!"

Ashina Helu was originally Yipidulu Khan Ashina wanted to set up a party, and he was awarded the post of Yehu.

Yugu set up a defeated army and fled to Tochara. Ashina Helu was hunted down by Yipi Shekui Khan, and his tribe was separated and lonely.

The Zhishedi, Chumukun, and Pobi tribes believed that Ashina Helu should be exonerated just because of their different positions, which provoked the anger of Yibi Shekui Khan and nearly killed the leaders of the three tribes.

Afterwards, Sanbu found Ashina Helu, joined him in the Tang Dynasty, and became the vanguard and guide of the Kunshan Taoist Army.

This also verified the truth of "one hero and three gangs".

All in all, there are not many people who fully support you, even if you are as strong as the Overlord of Western Chu, you can only hate Wujiang.

Inside the Western Turks, there have always been many factions, and Wudulu and Wunushibi have always been tit-for-tat. Even though Ashina Helu had fled the Western Regions in a hurry, he now has corresponding supporters when he returns.

Hu Lukun felt the wavering of the army's morale. A mere 2 people were divided into two factions. While they were willing to continue to follow Yibi Shekui Khan, they secretly contacted Ashina Helu Yehu.

Although less than [-] people intend to support Ashina Helu, this trend is not a good sign!
Pointing to the hot air balloon in the sky, Ashina Helu said nonchalantly: "See, Datang has the help of gods and can fly in the air!"
