"Report~!"
"General, the Turkic wolf rider has reached the east gate twenty miles! There
are about 20,000 people!"
Three miles away from the east of Shuofang City, in the bushes next to the
official road, a cavalry galloped towards this side, and then quickly
dismounted and held his fist to Chai Shao who was hidden in it.
Chai Shao's spirit was shocked, and he was a little excited when he heard the
words: "Okay! Jie Li did not disappoint the general! Can you recognize who the
leader is?"
"Going back to the general, the enemy general is Ashina Sheergui. A few years
ago, the Turks invaded the border of Datang, and his subordinates went north
with General Qin to fight the enemy. I have seen him!"
The soldier replied with a fist.
Ashina Sheer, also known as Ashina Sher, a Turkic nobleman, was originally the
second son of Chuluo Khan. At the age of eleven, he was famous for his wisdom
and bravery, and the unparalleled archery skills. The tribe leader), set up
the Yaqi (a banner decorated with ivory as a flag for the general or leader)
in Mobei, and Jie Li Khan’s son Yugushe ruled the Tiele, Huihe, and Tongluo
tribes respectively. Ashina Sheeryi used a loose policy to retreat and support
the people. He was an official for ten years without levying taxes. There was
a saying: "The tribe is rich, and it is enough for me."
"It turned out to be Ashina Sheergui? Good! Today, this general has avenged
the revenge of the year for Shubao! You, go and explore again and report
again!"
Hearing that Jie Li had sent a heavyweight general such as Ashina Sheerhui to
rescue Liang Shidu, Chai Shao was not afraid, but became more excited, and he
quickly ordered the scout.
In the sixth year of Wude, the Turks invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Qiong accompanied the Qin King Li Shimin at the time and led his army
northward to resist the Turks. In a battle, Qin Qiong accidentally got into a
siege, and the Turkic leader at that time had both wisdom and courage and
arrows. The famous Turkic general Ashina Sheergui, known as Shu Wushuang.
Although caught in a heavy siege, it was naturally impossible for Qin Qiong to
dismount and suffer surrender. In the melee between the two sides, Ashina
Sheer looked at the timing and shot Qin Qiong's heart with one arrow. Had it
not been for Han Tianhu to give up his life to rescue, Qin Qiong might have
died in the battle in the sixth year of Wude! But even so, one of Han Tianhu's
leg was disabled because of an arrow injury!
Therefore, Chai Shao is now saying that he is helping Qin Qiong to avenge his
revenge, rather than avenging Han Tianhu!
"Yes! General!"
The sergeant led away immediately.
Chai Shao told the left and right: "Turkic reinforcements are here, order the
three armies to prepare for battle!"
"Here~!"
The left and right officials took the lead immediately.
It has been six days since the army arrived outside Shuofang City. A lot of
things have happened in these six days.
First of all, the crops in the farmland outside Shuofang city have been
trampled by the cavalry led by Xue Wanjun. The Liang division is all
overwhelmed and exhausted. Send troops to clean up them, fearing that there
will be a large army of Tang army behind, but not Send troops, you can only
watch the crops being destroyed in a mess.
In the end, the people in the city were panicked. After all, the city of
Shuofang has become a "dead city". The gates of the city are closed by Master
Liang, and all the crops outside the city are trampled and trapped in the
city, which means that sooner or later they will be Starved to death, and
Tang's army was lurking outside the city. Although this matter has not been
confirmed, it is already a fact that everyone knows and tacitly accepts!
Seeing that the people in the city were getting more and more fierce, Shih
Liang had to send people to announce the news that the reinforcements of the
Liang Kingdom would arrive soon, and at the same time they sent soldiers out
of the city to ask for help from Jie Li Khan on the grassland.
Although Li Xiaogong's troops noticed the soldiers sent by Liang Shidu for
help, they did not stop it, because one of the purposes of the imperial court
this time was to seduce the Turks to send troops!
On the afternoon of the day when Liang Shidu sent troops to ask for help, Li
Xiaogong led the main force to surround Shuofang City. Seeing Tang army
besieged the city on all sides, the people, gentry, and officials in the city
were even more panicked.
At the same time, if Liu Min, the governor of Xiazhou, had sent hundreds of
spies into the city, they suddenly "struck" together, and all kinds of rumors
arose in the city, such as: How many civilian girls were robbed by Liang
Shidu’s son, After Liang Shidu had drunk and occupied ten court ladies in the
palace, and afterwards all those court ladies were thrown into the snake pond
to feed snakes by the queen, Liang Shi all took refuge in Turks for his own
glory, and Liang Shi all took the wives of officials.
All kinds of rumors, no matter whether they are true or false, are all spread
out in a pattern, just like the truth! As a result, Master Liang’s popular
reputation in the Liang Kingdom fell again and again. Master Liang also wanted
to spot those Tang spies who spread rumors, but he didn’t have that energy at
all, because now many people have appeared in the city. The violent incident
against the government is more serious. There are no soldiers mutiny in the
army. Although all those mutinies have been ruthlessly suppressed, the
military spirit has been shaken. At this time, if you are careless, you will
lose everything.
Therefore, Master Liang didn't dare to do anything lightly, he could only win
over some high-ranking generals, Xu Zhiyi of high-ranking officials, wealthy
and beautiful women, but if such a win-win was true allegiance, then only God
knew!

"Drive~!"
"Boom boom!"
After waiting for about an hour, the place where Chai Shao's army was lurking,
finally heard the sound of horses hoofs coming from afar.
Chai Shao's expression was extremely tense, and he commanded left and right:
"The order goes on, and when the Turkic army enters our pockets, prepare to
trip the horse! Next is the archer to prepare! Finally the cavalry charge!"
"Yes! General!"
The left and right generals led away.
"Boom boom!"
The sound of horseshoes was getting closer, and the Tang generals who were
lying in the bushes on both sides of the official road could already faintly
feel that the earth was shaking!
Twenty zhang, fifteen zhang, ten zhang, five zhang, and three zhang, the
Turkic wolf riders did not realize that there was anything wrong. The whole
team was still running at a super high speed, because they had already gotten
their way on the way. Knowing the news that Shuo Fang City was surrounded by
the Tang Army, they must rush to Shuo Fang City before Shuo Fang City was
breached, so they must use the fastest speed!
"Get up!"
"Swish swish!"
I don't know who yelled loudly, and dozens of stalking horses were suddenly
pulled up on both sides of the road, and the Turkic army was caught off guard.
The first third of the leading troops were suddenly tripped and turned over!
The cavalry behind was running at such a high speed, it was impossible to slow
down and avoid them. They were all like dumping dumplings, and they were
carried in the pile of meat in front of them!
"There is an ambush! There is an ambush! Order the cavalry behind to slow down
immediately!"
Turkic general Ashina Sheer jumped off his horse at a critical moment. At this
moment, he stood still and quickly shouted.
But in this state, the Turkic wolf rider wants to slow down completely at
once. How easy is it to say? The powerful inertia caused batches of cavalry to
fall on the soldiers who were tripped to the ground before. After all the four
thousand leading troops of Ashina Sherri fell, the army finally stopped!
Ashina Sheergui looked at the pile of corpses of Turkic cavalry in front of
him. Although he felt distressed, he knew that it was not the time to be
sentimental. He quickly commanded the army and set up a new formation!
At this moment, the bushes on the right side of the road suddenly stood up
from among thousands of Tang Jun bows and crossbowmen. They bent their bows
and set up arrows, and they made it in one go, and then aimed directly in the
direction of the Turkic army!
"No! Disperse the formation! Everyone is on the horse! Go!"
Ashina Sheer's complexion changed, and he quickly ordered.
There was no problem with his command, but it was a little bit late. Chai Shao
waved his hand, and suddenly a rain of arrows struck toward the Turkic army!
"Shoo~!~~!"
The sound of the rain of arrows, the sound of arrows entering the flesh, are
endless, and the wailing of countless Turkic soldiers sounded in the Turkic
camp!
"Flush! Flush out their archers!"
Ashina Sheergui swung a knife away from the arrows that were flying towards
him, and led the cavalry around him, biting his head and charging towards Tang
Jun’s crossbowmen!
Because he knew that at this distance, Tang Jun would definitely have to be
shot from behind by Tang Jun. He could only bite the bullet and crush Tang
Jun’s archer team before he could face Tang Jun in a decisive battle and have
a ray of life!
At this time, the "relentlessness" in the Turkic people's bones was
manifested. Although many Turkic soldiers still had feather arrows stuck in
their bodies, they still followed Ashina Sher's fiercely and rushed towards
the Tang army, even with blood. They dyed their clothes red, they still didn't
care!
The Turkic Wolf Cavalry is indeed a well-known elite cavalry, well-deserved
reputation!
Chai Shao's eyes sunk slightly, even as an opponent, he had to admire the
cavalry on the opposite side a little!
He stretched out his right hand, and just about to give orders to the left and
right, ordering the cavalry behind Tang Jun to charge, a strange scene that
everyone hadn't expected appeared!
Seeing that the sun was still shining and the sky was clear the moment before,
the sky suddenly became darker and darker at this moment, and soon I could no
longer see my fingers!
Facing the weird scene, not only the Turkic cavalry was greatly panicked, but
even the Tang Army also appeared a little commotion!
At the first time, everyone was at a loss!
The Turkic offensive paused for a while, and the military order Chai Shao
wanted to pass down also paused!
"Don't panic, this is God helping us Datang! The archer obeyed the order and
gave me a fierce shot in the direction of the Turks! The rest of the soldiers,
tripping the horse to prepare, let all the Turks disarm the general!"
Although the celestial phenomena were weird, Chai Shao quickly settled down at
the critical moment. He had an idea and suddenly had a plan, so luckily, he
shouted loudly.
Not only did Tang Jun hear his shout, but also the Turkic people on the
opposite official road!
Chai Shao's idea is very simple, that is, now that the sky is suddenly
completely dark and your army can't see it, then your Turkic cavalry can't see
it either! He shouted that in the dark environment, the Turks could not see
the surroundings. They must be afraid of the stubble on the ground. They would
not dare to charge here any more. The archer could take the opportunity to
move towards the original Turks at this time. There will be more volleys in
the direction where people are coming!
Otherwise, if Tang Jun's cavalry went to rush into the battle in this dark
environment, it was very likely that they would accidentally injure their own
people, and the outcome would be difficult to predict! The gain is not worth
the loss!
Sure enough, in this kind of invisible environment, when Chai Shao said that
there were still slings on the ground, the Turkic wolf rider immediately threw
the rodents, and involuntarily slowed down the speed of the horses. After all,
the slings just now caused the Turkic army to lose three to four thousand
people!
The Turks slowed down their horses, but the Tang Jun archers didn’t stop at
all. Although they didn’t understand when Chai Shao hid his horses beside the
official road, at this time, they just obeyed the order and faced the Turkic
cavalry. The direction of the salvo is done!
(Actually, all Tang Jun’s stumbling horses were ambushed on the official road.
There was no one on either side of the official road. Chai Shao was completely
deliberately deceiving the Turks)
Although they can't see people, they still remember the general direction.
They only need to shoot in that direction. Anyway, there are many Turks, and
they can definitely shoot!
"Shoo, hoo~!"
In the dark night, countless rain of arrows rushed towards the Turkic army. At
this time, the Turks had a sling in front of them, preventing them from
sprinting at full speed, but if they turned to escape, in this dark
environment, they would definitely hit To the comrades in arms, and the back
is very likely to be shot into a hornet's nest by Tang Jun!
dilemma!
The Turkic army at this time is really in a dilemma!
"Retreat~! The whole army retreats~! The rear army becomes the former army,
the former army becomes the rear army, all retreat!"
Tang Jun "closed his eyes", and after a few rounds of volleys, the Turkic army
suffered heavy casualties. Why did he close his eyes? Because you can’t see
your fingers right now, aren’t those archers shooting arrows with their eyes
closed?
Ashina Sheergui knew that in this state, the Turkic army was completely unable
to fight against the Tang army. He didn’t know what "demon trick" Tang used to
make the sky suddenly turn black, but even at this time When it's on, he can't
beat Tang Jun with these remnant soldiers! It's better to act decisively and
decisively order to retreat, so as to preserve some vitality, and make a
comeback after returning!
Naturally, there was an order soldier who relayed Ashina Sheergui's order, and
the Turkic army immediately changed its formation, leaving behind a corpse in
one place, and then fleeing toward the official road far away in the dark,
relying on memory!
Hearing that the Turks were about to flee, Chai Shao was anxious, and all bows
and arrows had a range. If the Turks had escaped from the range, then he would
be completely lost! But in this dark environment, if he rashly lets the
cavalry chase him, not only will he not be able to chase him, but it is very
likely that the cavalry will stumble themselves because they can't see the
road clearly!
At this moment, a magical scene appeared!
Above the sky, a corner of the sun suddenly appeared~www.mtlnovel.com~ Then,
the exposed part of the sun grew bigger and bigger, and soon the sky was
bright again!
From night to dawn, everyone couldn't adapt to the strong sunlight. Chai Shao
blindfolded his eyes slowly. After adapting to the strong sunlight outside, he
shouted: "The soldiers of the three armies listen to the order! Get on the
horse! Chase!"
"Here~!"
The generals of the Tang army yelled their promises. After a while, Chai Shao
led thirty thousand elites and chased them towards Ashina Sheergui!
It is said that the poor will not chase after them, but he must chase these
defeated Turkic soldiers today!
