Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 512 Hunting Frontier (2)

The sky in August is very blue, as blue as the sea, but the sun is not strong, and when it shines on people, there is a kind of drunken warmth. Not to mention how pleasing to the ear, but it does not have a feeling of a foreign country. Cheng Guangzong lay lazily on the grass pier, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, but his mind was obviously not here——As a Jinshi of Jinke , Cheng Guangzong could have had the opportunity to stay in the court, and even if he was not good enough, he could be assigned to a fertile land such as Guanzhong. The young cavalry cao joined the military, and this was obviously not what Cheng Guangzong wanted. Even though it had been more than four months, Cheng Guangzong still had difficulty adapting to the current situation.

As a child of a military family, joining the army is the right thing to do. Cheng Guangzong has understood this truth since he was a child, but the army he wants to join is the iron cavalry army, not the current army that can only be regarded as an ordinary border state army. For this reason, he asked people to help him in private, but unfortunately not only failed, he was taught a lesson by his father Haosheng, and then he was sent to the pasture to work as a "shepherd dog". It really made Cheng Guangzong feel more unwilling, but his father's order was hard to disobey. No matter how much unwillingness he had, Cheng Guangzong didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction. People from Hexi Racecourse and others escorted them.

"My lord, look, the flames are starting!"

Just when Cheng Guangzong was thinking about it, he heard a burst of horseshoes, and a horse galloped towards him. The anxious roar instantly smashed Cheng Guangzong's imagination into pieces.

Cheng Guangzong jumped up and looked in the direction of the whistler's finger. He saw a black and reddish smoke column rising from the northwest direction, and his heart sank—the beacon fire of the Tang army in Hexi and his The difference is that the fireworks are not a single thick black, but can be adjusted according to the number of enemy troops. An all-black smoke column represents [-] soldiers and horses, and the yellow, red, purple, green, and blue in the fireworks represent the soldiers in turn. Two thousand soldiers, like the black and red smoke column at present, means that the number of enemy troops is between two thousand and four thousand. Although it cannot be completely accurate, it is generally enough.

"Order: The whole army gathers, prepares for battle, let the herdsmen retreat first!"

Cheng Guangzong didn't know whether the incoming enemy was the Tubo regular army or the Tuyuhun nomadic tribal army, nor whether the incoming enemy was two thousand or four thousand, but no matter what the situation was, it didn't matter much to the Tang army at this time. The big difference is because Cheng Guangzong only has two teams of cavalry, and the total is only more than [-] horses. If there is no accident, the result of this battle may not be much better. Frightened, he jumped onto the horse as soon as he turned over, waved his hand, and loudly issued the order to prepare for battle.

"promise!"

Now that Cheng Guangzong had given the order, the cavalry whistle did not dare to neglect, and hastily responded, he was too busy to deliver the order in time, and in a moment, when the horn sounded loudly, the cavalry of Tang Dynasty who had been wandering around scattered all over the place. The army rushed towards the place where Cheng Guangzong was. At the same time, the horsemen in charge of grazing hurriedly drove the cattle, sheep and horses to the direction of Shanzhou City, just because there were too many livestock. However, the entire evacuation operation was really not going anywhere, until the billowing smoke and dust stirred up by the Tubo army had already swayed on the horizon, the retreat of the ranchmen and others was still in a panic.

"Damn it, tell them to leave the livestock behind and get out!"

Seeing that the ranchers were retreating so slowly, Cheng Guangzong couldn't help becoming a little anxious. Seeing that the Tubo army was approaching in a blink of an eye, he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, so he stopped drinking and ordered The ranch personnel hurriedly evacuated. With this order, the already flustered herdsmen dared not delay any longer. They left the scattered livestock and galloped towards Shanzhou city.

"A group of trash, Moda, bring your people and kill the fugitive slaves, and the rest will follow this general to kill Tang Kou, go!"

Seeing that all the people in the Tang Dynasty were in disarray, Gar Mosuoduo, the general of the Tubo army, couldn't help but sneered, curled his lips in disdain, and gave the order of the general attack with contempt. Put Cheng Guangzong's troops who are waiting for the battle in the eyes-Gar Mosodo, the cousin of Gar Qinling, don't look at his face with beard and beard, but he is not very old, and he is only 22 this year He was only 17 years old, and he joined the army at the age of [-]. He has been fighting against wild tribes on the western front. In just a few years, he has gained a lot of fame. He is a new generation of famous generals in Tubo Kingdom. Tuyuhun, the deputy of Gar Zangpo, always regarded himself as a hero in the world, and never accepted the strength of the Tang army. Since he arrived in Tuyuhun, he often called for battles, but he never got permission from Gar Zhampo, and he had long held back Full of anger, this time he received the secret order to harass the Tang Dynasty issued by Gar Qinling himself, so he was extremely excited, and he was focused on making great achievements. After such a great opportunity to take the first merit, the soldiers divided into two groups, and they wanted to wipe out all the people in Datang.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

The cavalry army under Gar Mosodo was an elite division he brought from the western front, and his tactical quality was obviously much better than that of the troops stationed in Tuyuhun, which had already been exhausted by the Tang army. The sound of the horn sounded, and the originally slightly scattered charge formation changed in an instant—the 1000 troops led by Moda, the head of a thousand households, galloped to the left side of the battlefield, making it clear that they were going to bypass the interception of Cheng Guangzong's troops and attack from behind. Killed the ranchers who were fleeing, while the two thousand soldiers led by Gar Mosodo quickly formed two triangular assault formations, marching side by side, one left and one right, as fierce as two huge sharp cones Suddenly, he plunged into Tang Jun's formation.

"When the two armies meet, the brave wins! Brothers, follow me and kill!"

Seeing the swift and decisive action of the Tubo army's division of troops, Cheng Guangzong's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, because he knew very well that with the troops at hand, he was powerless to stop the Tubo army from chasing and killing the ranchers. Not only that, even if his subordinates want to escape smoothly, it is not easy. At this critical juncture, Cheng Guangzong not only did not feel discouraged by this, but aroused the courage to fight to the death. He picked up the long horse spear on the victory hook, raised it high above his head, pumped up his breath, roared wildly, kicked the horse's belly, and bravely launched a countercharge first.

"The Great Tang is mighty, the Great Tang is mighty, kill, kill, kill!"

The frontier army of the Tang Dynasty has always been brave, even if they knew they were not the enemy's opponent, they would never lose their momentum. Seeing that their main general had launched brazenly, everyone followed up bravely, roaring and charging all the way Without counting breaths, a neat conical assault formation has been adjusted during the march. The neat steps sound like a giant beast running wildly. Although the number of people is small, the momentum is extremely high.

Go, go again!The distance between the two sides was only about two miles, but under the simultaneous rush, the distance between them shortened rapidly, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps... In the blink of an eye, The two torrents collided fiercely, horses danced wildly, sabers swung wildly, roars, howls, and blade clashes intertwined, playing a movement of death!

"Kill, kill, die..."

Cheng Guangzong is the son of a general, although he is not very old, he is an upright and upright Jinshi of modern martial arts. Wherever they passed, they were all invincible, roaring like thunder, and a dozen Tubo warriors had become the souls of their guns, and they broke through the interception of the Tubo army with their own strength, but the price they paid was not small. His body was wounded several times, his robe was stained with blood, and more than [-] cavalry were lost in a single encounter with his troops. Of course, the Tubo army did not take much advantage, and more than [-] cavalry fell in the same way. A messy core of the battlefield.

"Split up, attack left and right, don't let anyone go!"

Gar Mosodo had never fought against Tang Jun. Although he had heard a lot about Tang Jun's bravery in the past, he didn't care much about it in his heart. In his opinion, those were just cowardly exaggerations. He firmly believed that the elite of his troops were the mighty lions in all battles, and that once they attacked, they would surely return with triumph, but they never expected that in the first face-to-face confrontation, their almost seven-fold absolute advantage could only be compared with The opponent was tied, and the anger in his heart "chuckled". He had just gathered his soldiers and horses, and without waiting for the soldiers to take a breath, he swung his knife and gave the order to charge again.

"Brothers, today's matter of sacrificing one's life for benevolence, my men in the Tang Dynasty can only die standing up, and never live on their knees. Defend my Tang Dynasty, kill thieves, kill thieves, kill thieves!"

Although Cheng Guangzong is still new to battle, his martial arts talent is not inferior to his father's. As soon as the Tubo army made a move, he already saw the plan of the opponent's joint attack. Not only was he not surprised, but he was very energetic Shocked, he had a countermeasure against the enemy in his mind, but he didn't say it clearly. Instead, he rode his horse and stood in front of the army formation, waved the long horse in his hand, and roared loudly.

"Defend my Tang Dynasty, kill, kill, kill!"

In the previous battle, although the casualties of the two sides were equal, the actual situation was extremely unfavorable to the Tang army, because the Tang army's strength was too small, and it could not withstand such a loss at all. All the Tang riders were veterans of hundreds of battles, so they all knew what was going on, but no one retreated. They all made up their minds to fight to the death, let go of their throats, and uttered the strongest roar in their lives. The sound was like thunder, and a tragic spirit stirred endlessly over the battlefield.
