Chapter 67: The fire horses and blood mud

Tongye Hu Khan really didn't understand Tang Yan, but Li Zhongyan around him understood. Li Zhongyan nervously translated Chen's words to Tongye Hu Khan. When he heard this, Tongye Hu Khan's nose was crooked.

"One fight!"

Tongye Hu Khan was stunned. He stared at Chen Ying in a daze, stammering for several times, clearly trying to curse people, but he didn't know what to curse.

One-on-one fight? If it were the Khan of Tongye Hu, twenty years ago, he would never be afraid of Chen Ying. Not only Chen Ying, but anyone. Tongye Hu was also a well-known man in the Western Turks back then. He could pee three feet in the wind. Although he dared not say that he was invincible in the world, at least he had never been afraid of anyone. If he fought one by one, he would always fight one by two shoulders and one head. Who is afraid of whom!

But now it's not possible. He is already at the age of 60 and has to get up and pee three or four times a night, and fight one-on-one.

Unfortunately, the Khan of Tongye Hu did not know Chen Ying's background at all. Although Chen Ying was famous for his outstanding military achievements and had a reputation, his martial arts were actually not very powerful, but he just relied on his courage to kill people.

Seeing that Tongye Hu Khan did not dare to respond, Chen Ying's confidence became even higher.

"Tongpuye, are you fucking the handle? I have a one-on-one fight!"

Tongye Hu Khan was so angry that he made up his mind to kill all the Tang army that dared to challenge the elite Western Turks in the field. Judging from the description of Zhenzhutong, this Tang army was an army that he was completely unfamiliar with. This army seemed to have no idea of ​​pain, fear, and would not be afraid of death. They also dared to fight the cavalry head-on! He didn't know how this army was trained and when it was formed, and only knew that the Tang army would become a huge uncertain factor on the battlefield in Hexi, and his attitude towards uncertain factors was very simple: destroy it!

As for the Tang Army in Liangzhou... it was not a big deal in his eyes. As long as the Tang Army in Liangzhou left the hateful city wall, the Western Turkic cavalry could deal with them with one hand tied back.

The Western Turkic right-wing army sounded clamoring from time to time. These were roared by thousands of cavalrymen, and the sound was so loud that it could be heard ten miles away.

The rice was already started in Liangzhou City at this time. The rice was naturally soft, dried rice, mixed with a little bean and a pickle. Although the oil and water were insufficient, it was pretty good. At least you could eat enough, and the generals could even drink the broth.

In normal times, the Liangzhou army did not have such good food. It would be good to eat enough, but this was a war. Moreover, Liangzhou was in danger. Li Daozong knew that there was a lot of food in the city and was worried that once the city was lost, it would either burn it or be cheaper for the Western Turks. Therefore, he opened up the supply of food, not only ordinary Liangzhou soldiers, but also the civilians who went to the battlefield to help the Tang army kill enemies or restrain their bodies and rescue the wounded could also eat full.

As the chief supervisor of Liangzhou, Li Daozong naturally had excellent food. Li Daozhen gave Li Daozong hundreds of canned beef produced in Liangzhou. In the early Li Tang Dynasty, he attached great importance to agriculture and prohibited the slaughter of plowing oxen. In fact, an adult strong ox could be sold for 6,000 to 8,000 yuan, but beef was more than 100 yuan per pound. If the ox was killed and sold for money, it would be two or three times that of live oxen.

However, the law of the law has no sympathy. However, Lingzhou is located at the junction of Han and Hu, and can buy Nunai cattle or yaks from Qiang, Di people and even Tubo people. These canned beef are a luxury item in Chang'an. You can sell it for a full 200 yuan.

The personal guard placed the canned beef in water and boiled it, then pried it open, and took out a large piece of oily beef from it. The canned beef from this era is real, not the kind of starch beef that makes people bloody in later generations.

However, Li Daozong had no appetite.

The casualties in Liangzhou were too great, especially the battle of the Fuli Army, which caused more than 2,000 casualties in Liangzhou in just one hour, not including those people. If the people were added, it would probably be more than 3,000. The entire city was filled with the smell of blood.

The personal soldier looked at the meal in front of Li Daozong, especially the canned beef covered with rice. He felt that his stomach was roaring and his saliva was secreting wildly...

Li Daozong accidentally saw his personal soldiers drooling secretly, and said, "I am not hungry, please take it to eat!"

The personal soldiers were ecstatic and rushed to pick up Li Daozong's meal.

But unexpectedly, at this time, a faint voice came: "Tongye Hu Khan, I have the will of a fight for this general!"

"slow!"

The personal soldiers stopped there with difficulty, watching the canned beef in the field drooling.

Li Daozong opened the window, and at this time, he heard a little clearer: "Tongye Hu Khan, I have the will of a fight for this general!"

When Li Daozong heard this, his face looked ecstatic: "God bless us, our reinforcements are here!"

Soon, the news of reinforcements arriving in Liangzhou City was spreading. The soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou were greatly boosted, and their morale, which was originally sluggish in the face of heavy casualties, also rose instantly.

……Hahaha

Hearty laughter sounded throughout Liangzhou City, and the haze suppressed on the heads of Liangzhou's military and civilians instantly dispersed. General Chen is here.

We are saved.

"Who is General Chen?"

"Don't talk to me, I don't know you, you don't even know General Chen!"

...

In fact, Chen Ying made people shout that Ye Hu had a desire to fight with me alone, just to inform Li Daozong in Liangzhou City. At this time, there was no phone call, and Liangzhou City was surrounded by Turks. Of course, if Chen Ying led the cavalry to attack and attack, he could break through the siege of the Western Turkic army and successfully arrive at the city of Liangzhou.

The key is that the four gates of Liangzhou City have been blocked by corpses now, and it will not be a short time to open the city gate passage.

In this gap, more and more Turkic people surrounded the right-wing camp and arrived first, naturally the most elite 30,000 kings in the Western Turks, followed by tens of thousands of Western Turkish soldiers, including Byzantine labor slaves, the dead soldiers of the Annex, and the servants of all countries and ethnic groups in the Western Regions.

Luo Shixin was the first to see more and more Turkic cavalry surrounding him. Luo Shixin saw the dark eyes everywhere, and was panicked: "General Chen, the Western Turkic people have come to reinforcements, and there are many troops. What should we do?"

This is indeed a very difficult problem. The Western Turkic cavalry who came to help had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, plus the remnants of the right wing camp, there were tens of thousands of people. Even if the cavalry of the cavalry included the personal guards of the Zhechong Mansion, there were only seven Zhechong Mansions, and 10,000 had just stepped forward. Moreover, after a battle, the casualties were hundreds of. Now there are less than ten thousand soldiers who can fight. There are so many enemies and we are so small that we are very different.

However, Chen Ying was not worried at all. He pointed at the war horses of the Chinese company itself, and the seized war horses were more than 40,000.

Faced with such a complex enemy situation, he issued the simplest order: "Tie the tent, tie ten war horses together, and set the horse formation!"

Luo Shixin understood Chen Ying's intention as soon as he heard it.

During the Battle of Luoyang, Wang Shiyun relied on 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 plowing oxen to defeat tens of thousands of Tang troops under Qu Tutong's command at one time.

Luo Shixin sighed and said, "It's just a pity for these war horses!"

"What a pity!" Chen Ying pointed to the dense war horses outside and said, "Are you still afraid of not having any horses? Don't worry, you can ride ten of these war horses a day, and you can't ride them for the rest of your life!"

For the Western Turks, war horses are their best companions. If they can do not kill horses, try not to kill horses. But for the Han people, war horses are a tool, and they can use them as much as possible. Although the Tang Dynasty does not have many war horses in the Turks, it is not too short of horses.

The Western Turkic tents are made of cowhide. In order to prevent water, butter is also stuffed into the gaps of cowhide. This tent is full of treasures. It can not only protect you from the wind and rain, but also cook it when there is no military ration. Of course, it is also an excellent material for killing and setting fire.

The tough cowhide tent was cut into cowhide strips wide by the soldiers of the cavalry and then tied into ropes. Such cowhide ropes were not easy to break. Soon the cavalry began to tie every ten captured war horses together and apply butter to the ponytail.

Everything is ready and there is no east wind.

After the Turks had enough food and drink, they began to blew the desolate ox horn.

Chen Ying also led the cavalry army to prepare for the fire horse formation: "Many cavalrymen will be very satisfied with stringing them together later..."

The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and the murderous aura burst out from the Western Turkic army became stronger and stronger, making the world dizzy. Chen Ying didn't know how many elite troops had come from the Western Turkic army. Looking around, there were a large number of surging flags and a large number of sharp sword lights.

Chen Ying looked at the Turkic cavalry and said sincerely: "The angry horses and strong bows come and go like the wind, and they are worthy of being a powerful brigade of war!" With a raised hand, the drummer beat the drummer three times in a row. The whole army raised his feet together, and then fell down together, turning from movement to static, condensed like a mountain!

Tongye Hu Khan saw it clearly and nodded slightly: "It's like a mountain, it's like a siege like fire. This is the real elite army!"

Baturtai rubbed his palms and laughed: "It is only good to fight like this kind of opponent!"

Zhenzhutong said in amazement: "What are they doing? Destroy my tent!"

Tongye Hu Khan laughed and said, "Chen Ying'er was already afraid when he saw the power of the Khan's army. They knew that they would lose if they continued to fight, so they were destroying the tent, so they were afraid!"

Baturtai spitted and said angrily, "Call 50,000 archers and cavalrymen forward, shoot them down with bows and arrows first, then use the heavy cavalry of the Fuli Army to attack them, kill one of them everywhere, see if they are still arrogant!"

Before the Western Turkic archers began to charge, Chen Ying laughed and said, "Let the Turks see the general's serial horses!"

At this moment, the horsetails of a row of war horses in front were ignited by the soldiers of the cavalry. The grease-soaked war horses ran forward in panic, but the more they ran, the faster the ponytails burned.

So he called more than 20,000 war horses with the power of destroying the world, just like the military formation of the Western Turks who bravely rushed forward.

When the Western Turkic archers who had not had time to turn the string saw this scene, their brains did not listen to their hands and feet, but the war horses they were standing under raised their horses and turned around and ran away.
