Chapter 144 Xuanjia cavalry robbery

Wu Meichuo rode his horse and stood on the earth **** next to the Baiqu, shouting loudly, "Boys, after ten miles, the tomb of the old mother of Tang Emperor Li Shimin is in front of you. There is a huge treasure buried in it. We dug Tang Emperor Li Shimin there. The emperor's tomb, took the treasure, and shared the wine!"

   A crowd of Turkic people sang and laughed, as if mountains of gold and silver had been piled up in front of them.

  In a dense pine forest, there are hidden three thousand Xuanjia elite cavalry, three cavalry generals, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, and Duan Zhixuan, all fully clothed.

   "General, here comes Wumaichu. The 8,000 men and horses are divided into three groups. One thousand horsemen are the vanguard, the middle are four thousand women, cattle and sheep, and the last are three thousand old and weak people."

  Because he brought women, children, cattle and sheep with him, Wu Meichuu. The eight thousand people came eastward, and the journey was not fast. They stopped and went, and within a hundred miles, they walked for three days.

   It was precisely because of this that Yu Chigong and the others had plenty of time to come and intercept them. They assembled from the Wei Bridge, bypassed Chang'an City, and came to Xinfeng to cross the Yellow River quietly at night, and then rushed all the way here to ambush.

There are only three thousand cavalry, but they are the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, the Xuanjia cavalry. This is the elite among the elite formed by Li Shimin. Li Shimin has won countless battles by relying on the Xuanjia cavalry. Qin Qiong Cheng Yaojin Wei Chigong Duan Zhixuan The cavalry general was the former commander of this heroic army.

  Now, the three generals who have been granted the title of Duke are re-commanding the cavalry, which makes the Xuanjia cavalry extremely excited.

  General Youwu Hou and Wu Guogong Wei Chi Gong mentioned his horse lance, and lance pointed at the Turkic army outside the forest.

"kill!"

  He urged his horse forward, followed by a thousand cavalry with black flags and black armor and black horses.

  Xuan Jia rode out from the forest and began to accelerate.

   Thousands of riders charge, the earth shakes.

  Wu did not Chuan keenly felt the shock, but when he saw that there were not many cavalry rushing out of the forest, he was relieved.

   "After the transfer, the army immediately protects the women, food and grass of the Chinese army, and the former army comes with me!"

  Wumibu people, eager for revenge, roared and urged their horses forward. On the flat field, horseshoes were thundering and swords were dazzling.

   In a blink of an eye, the two cavalrymen fought together.

  Yu Chigong swept the invincible with a single lance, even a Turkic knight in iron armor couldn't withstand the stabbing of that lance, and a lance pierced through the iron armor, killing him within a short time.

   Several of them were even directly pierced by Yu Chigong and flew away.

  In the pine forest behind them, Cheng Yaojin and Duan Zhixuan each led a thousand cavalry to stand still.

  Cheng Yaojin said to his subordinates, "Old Hei is really fierce! Nothing to say!"

   "General, are we still going to attack?"

   "What's the rush, wait a minute."

   On the other side, Duan Zhixuan is still waiting.

   On the battlefield.

  The Xuanjia cavalry led by Yu Chigong was like the sharpest sword, piercing fiercely into the Turkic army, going forward indomitably, unstoppable.

  Wu didn't want revenge, wanted to kill, but soon he found that although all the men under him had high morale, they were killed by Tang Qi all the way.

  At this moment, Wu Meichu was flustered. He thought of Qin Qiong, and the last battle at Mount Saga.

   Feeling flustered and weak.

   "Brothers, a Turkic head can be exchanged for one tael of gold. His Majesty has prepared ten thousand taels of gold in Chang'an City, waiting for us to exchange it. Kill!"

   On the horse, the flag bearer finally raised the flag.

   "Youwu Marquis General Yuchi!"

  With this flag, the Xuanjia cavalry is even more passionate, marching forward bravely, everyone scrambling to be the first.

  They are the best cavalry in the cavalry battle of the Tang Dynasty, the most well-equipped cavalry, and they are the soldiers of the emperor.

  In the pine forest, Cheng Yaojin saw the Tang Qi on the battlefield marching forward, their morale soaring, and he also understood that they had completely gained the upper hand.

   "Blow the horn, strike!"

   "Attack the left side of the enemy's center!"

   Another thousand cavalry rushed out, but they had no interest in Yu Chigong's defeated generals, and directly charged at the panicked auxiliary cavalry who were about to catch up to reinforce Wu Mei.

   Two thousand auxiliary cavalry crossed the women's cattle and sheep to fight.

   They came forward fiercely.

   "General, there will be no more soup left if you don't attack."

  A general said loudly to Duan Zhixuan.

   "Don't worry, let Lao Cheng fish out these old and young auxiliary riders first!"

  Duan Zhixuan held his breath very heavily.

  Having been through battles for a long time, he knows what rhythm is, and what timing is. He sends soldiers forward in a swarm of battles. A real master of using troops can play well with the formation, deployment and command of troops.

   The use of troops must be layered and rhythmic.

   You have to maintain the initiative and mobility at all times, and you have to have room for adjustment at all times. This is like a person punching a fist. You can’t just swing the punch with all your strength. Then the punch will be old and there will be no chance to respond.

   You have to have spare capacity to deal with various situations.

  Just like now, Yu Chigong went out first, Cheng Yaojin came out again, cut the 8,000 Turkic people into sections, and defeated them one by one.

  In this way, refueling tactics are avoided, and troops will not be accumulated, so that precious troops will not be used later.

  On the battlefield, once the soldiers are sent out, it is very difficult to turn around, so you have to think carefully before releasing them.

Right now, the two Turkic cavalry have been surrounded, and the 4,000 Chinese army is completely exposed to Duan Zhixuan's fresh army, without protection, like a ferocious wolf with its legs on its back, showing its weak belly .

   "Blow the horn, get on!"

  Duan Zhixuan put on his helmet, put down his visor, and lifted his horse.

Another thousand Qingqi rushed out from the forest with the sound of horns. They directly bypassed Wu Meichu's team, and then bypassed the two thousand auxiliary cavalry of the rear army, and directly stabbed him fiercely. Into the unprotected four thousand Chinese army.

  Although those Turkic women were also very fierce and grabbed their knives and guns to fight, but how could they be the opponents of the elite Xuanjia?

  The situation on the battlefield is one-sided.

  Under the Xuanjia Battle Banner, the black light cavalry is ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Turkic Wumibu people.

  Wu Meichuu trembled all over, uncontrollably.

   It's not fear, it's regret.

   Qin Lang saw that the battle was about to end, and shouted to Liu Jiu, "Hurry up and take Wumaipu and leave."

"leave?"

   "Wu Meichuu is still worth using this big fool. Let's take him back to Tuli."

   Liu Jiu asked suspiciously, "Is it necessary?"

   "Yes, this battle is still too early to end, it would be a pity to withdraw now."

  Liu Jiu nodded after listening. Since Qin Lang has made a decision, he should obey it without reason.

  The thirty or so cavalry who had been watching the battle from the rear cut into the battlefield like a sharp arrow, and rushed to Wu Meichu's side in the blink of an eye.

   "Withdraw!"

   "Where to go? It's over, we're all over." Wu Meichu tremblingly said.

  Qin Lang was not in the mood to hear him sigh at this moment, so he knocked him out with a spear directly from behind, and then said to Wu Wuchuu's personal guard, "Now is not the time to talk nonsense, hurry up and **** Dachuu away!"

   At first, Wu Meichuu, who thought that these Shatuo people had betrayed him, wanted to turn his gun angrily, but after hearing this, he said, "We come to the rear, take Dachuu away!"

  On the battlefield, the Tang army has begun to burst into cheers.

Xuanjiaqi has defeated Wumeibu's will to fight back, and began to harvest like butcher knives. Teams of Xuanjiaqi rushed back and forth, cutting Wumeibu into sections, cutting them up, breaking them up, and beheading them. , repeat and repeat.

  On the battlefield, not only infantry will become difficult to resist if they lose their army formation, even cavalry, once they are charged like this, they will have no power to recover.

The Turkic cavalry began to use their specialties. After the headwind, they didn’t want to turn around but ran away. Anyway, the Turkic people are not ashamed of running away. As long as there are troops left, there is always a chance for revenge. Unlike the Han people in the Central Plains, they have cities and families. , They can go anywhere, as long as they return to the tribe and lick their wounds, they can still stand up and take revenge after three or five years.

  But today they are facing Xuanjiaqi.

  Wei Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, and Duan Zhixuan were ordered to fight fiercely.

   "Take no prisoners!"

  In order to get a bargaining chip that can frighten Xieli on the negotiating table, Li Shimin not only awarded a super high reward for this battle, such as one head for one tael of gold, but also directly put forward the order not to take prisoners.

   This is a killing order.

  A head is worth one tael of gold, which makes the Xuanjia cavalry crazy.

   Not only the soldiers are killed, but also the old and weak auxiliary soldiers are not spared, even the women will not be merciful.

   This is the strongest counterattack against the invaders.

The Ashi people fled in all directions, just wanting to leave here. No one was willing to turn around and fight again, but no matter how they fled, Tang Jun followed behind like maggots attached to the bones, shooting bows and crossbows, and fell one after another. Most were shot in the back or assassinated.

  Yu Chigong has completely turned into a blood man, and the horse has become a blood horse. He is like a ruthless evil spirit, galloping across the battlefield, charging repeatedly, one after another Turkic warriors fell in front of him.

  Fight until dusk.

  The whole battle lasted for half a day. The Tang army pursued for 30 miles, and finally beheaded more than 7,800 heads, and the piled heads were like mountains.

Only a hundred or so people escaped with Qin Lang and others protecting Wu Meichuo. If Qin Lang hadn't revealed his identity in secret early on, and Cheng Yaojin immediately sent an order to let go of a road secretly, it would be impossible for these more than a hundred people Can escape.

  The sun sets.

  Both sides of the Baiqu, corpses are strewn across the field, and there are headless corpses with their heads cut off everywhere.

  Three thousand Xuanjia cavalry ambushed eight thousand Ashi Dewu's troops, beheaded seven thousand eight hundred and fifty-four ranks, took no prisoners, captured more than ten thousand horses, over ten thousand cattle and sheep, and countless armored swordsmen.

   General Yuchi Gongsan pressed their **** fingerprints on the hastily written victory report, and then sent a fast horse to report to the Emperor Chang'an.

   "What does Qin Huailiang mean by this? Why is he still protecting the crow and sipping away?" Yu Chigong asked Cheng Yaojin in confusion.

Old Cheng also didn't have time to take off his blood-stained shirt, "I don't know, but since this kid is going to take someone away, there must be his arrangement. If it wasn't for this kid, we could take such a big advantage? Behead nearly 8,000 Turkic troops! , Damn it, I haven't fought such a happy battle for many years."

  Duan Zhixuan also nodded and said, "The main credit for this battle is indeed Huailiang, we are just here to fight."

  Yu Chigong was a little unconvinced, Qin Huailiang has the ability, so he wiped out these 8,000 people by himself, why call them here?

"The battlefield should be cleaned up. Take the head and withdraw quickly. The captured cattle and sheep will be sent to the nearest castle first, and the wounded soldiers will be sent there first. Let's go back to Chang'an. Don't just fight a big victory, but the Turkic People took the opportunity to pack again."

  The three of them didn't care about the exhaustion and hard work in front of them, and they didn't dare to get carried away. They were vigilant and started to retreat immediately.
