Tang soldiers actually suffered casualties.

However, because they had sophisticated equipment and excellent geographical location, the mortality ratio between the two sides was as high as thirty to one.

Moreover, because the commanders of the two cavalry groups in Dashi were shot and killed by arrows, the commander of Qi Zhen along the way saw that the situation was not good and quickly issued an order to retreat.

As soon as Dashi's cavalry retreated, Datang's neat tricycle formation quickly fired up and gave chase.

At this time, it completely turned into a one-sided massacre, and there was no such thing as casualties.

From beginning to end, the number of soldiers killed in the Tang Dynasty did not exceed a hundred.

As for the number of Dashi soldiers killed in battle, well, their corpses are scattered everywhere in the entire depression, so it is difficult to count them yet.

But the death toll is definitely no less than 10,000.

Moreover, this number is still rising rapidly with the continuous pursuit of Datang.

At this time, Dashi's cavalry had passed more than half of their number through three narrow roads.

It is very easy to change from the rear team to the front team. You can just turn around and run away.

However, if the cavalrymen who are on the road or within the road want to turn around and run away, it is not that easy.

The road was too narrow and the people were a little dense, so it was difficult for the horses to turn their heads.

What's more, even if you turn the horse's head around, if the horse in front doesn't run, where will the horse behind you run?

Suddenly, the formation of the Dashi Cavalry was in chaos.

Those in the back desperately wanted to evacuate, while those in the front couldn't get up quickly even if they wanted to because of the narrow road.

The Tang Dynasty steam tricycle array's pursuit is getting closer and closer, and it is imminent.

The Dashi Cavalry, eyes red with rage, couldn't help but draw out his weapon and waved his butcher knife at his comrades beside him.

Dashi's cavalry were not to say invincible at that time, at least they were one of the best.

They have fought in the north and south, and have never encountered such a situation as a defeat.

But now, they encountered Datang's neat tricycle formation and were defeated for the first time.

At this time, Khalid, Ibn, and Wei Lide, who were sitting at the foot of Jinji Mountain, felt a little uneasy for some reason.

Could it be that if these 50,000 cavalrymen went to massacre the 50,000 infantrymen of the Tang Dynasty, would there be any danger?

How can this be?

The cavalry itself is the natural enemy of the infantry. Even if they are defeated, they can still retreat calmly. No, no!

However, inexplicably, this uneasy feeling is getting worse and worse.

Wei Lide finally couldn't help but send out scouts to check the situation.

Soon, some scouts came back.

"General, our cavalry has returned."

Wei Lide asked with a gloomy face: "What is going on?"

"General, it seems, it seems, we have been defeated!"

Um?

If 50,000 cavalry encounter 50,000 infantry, do you think we are defeated?

How could it fail?

Wei Lide was angry and frightened inside, but even at this moment, he could still remain calm.

"Pass my order to light the mountain on fire! After burning the mountain, the 30,000-strong army retreats ten miles to standby. In case of emergency, the generals can make their own decisions before the battle."

"Guard Battalion, follow me!"

Since all 50,000 cavalrymen had been defeated, Wei Lide concluded that the opponent must have cavalry.

Otherwise, the fifty thousand cavalry would not have been defeated like this.

Since even the cavalry has been defeated, there is little point in sending 30,000 more infantry.

What's more, he also had 20,000 infantry ambushes on his side.

After conveying the order, Wei Lide immediately led a thousand guards battalion cavalry and quickly rushed to the battlefield.

When he was still seven or eight miles away from the battlefield, Wei Lide discovered the defeated Dashi Cavalry in front of him.

Wei Lide quickly gathered these cavalrymen, glanced at the number of people, and found that there were only about seven or eight thousand people.

Although there are still cavalry coming from behind, the number has become increasingly scarce.

Wei Lide couldn't help but feel a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "What happened? Why did you collapse? What is the situation?"

After asking, no one answered for a long time.

Wei Lide became even more angry: "Ah? All of them are mute, right? I'm asking you questions and talking!"

"General, I, I don't know!"

What?

you do not know?

This answer made Wei Lide's nose almost twist with anger.

You even ran away and you still don’t know why you were defeated?

You don’t know anything, so why don’t you just run around?

"You don't know? Okay, very good! If you escape before the battle, you should be killed according to the law! Cut off his head!"

As soon as he heard that General Wei Lide was going to chop off his head, the soldier became anxious and immediately said: "General, I am not a deserter. This is the retreat order given by our commander!"

"It's like this. At that time, Datang's 50,000 infantrymen were in a depression, and I was at the back of the team. When the team was halfway in, a fierce battle broke out in front."

"When the team was more than half way in, the commander gave the order to retreat. As for what happened inside and why they were defeated, I really don't know."

After hearing his explanation, Wei Lide immediately thought of the depression, and his heart couldn't help but thump.

Wei Lide ordered three lines of cavalry to encircle and suppress Datang's 50,000 infantry.

Because the infantry of the Tang Dynasty were always on the move, Wei Lide naturally could not order them to carry out encirclement and suppression at a fixed position in advance. Instead, it had to be based on the position of the infantry of the Tang Dynasty.

This requires cavalry from all walks of life to act according to the opportunity.

But Wei Lide never expected that 50,000 Tang Dynasty infantrymen would be in the depression.

The depression is obviously an excellent place to lay a trap!

Needless to say, the Tang army must have set up a trap and defeated his large cavalry.

This situation can only show that Datang has already made arrangements.

Could it be that all the 20,000 Tang infantrymen on Jinji Mountain were their abandoned sons?

For a moment, Wei Lide found it difficult to figure out the crux of the matter.

But now was not the time to hesitate. While Wei Lide was rearranging the defeated cavalry, he sent people to pick up the soldiers who were coming.

At the same time, a defensive position was set up to meet them.

…

At this time, the war in the depression was coming to an end.

The cavalry trapped in the depression were almost dead at this time.

However, because the corpses of eating soldiers and war horses littered the fields, and the exit road was relatively narrow, the road was temporarily blocked.

At this time, the 10,000 infantrymen serving as bait in the depression also came into use.

Of course, there cannot be 50,000 Tang infantry in the depression.

The total force Li Min brought this time was only over 50,000. How could they put them all here?

The number of 50,000 infantrymen was actually deliberately released by Li Min.

Using the information station of the Huya Special Forces, the wrong message was delivered to Dashi.

The general of Dashi used wrong information to formulate wrong countermeasures.

This was the great victory of the Tang army.

There were actually only 10,000 infantrymen in the depression.

But now, these infantrymen are ready for use.

They quickly cleared away the corpses of the gluttonous soldiers and the horses blocking the road, quickly cleared a road, and then allowed the steam tricycle team to pass.

…

At the same time, Dashi Commander-in-Chief Khalid, Ibn, and Wei Lid were constantly leading the fleeing cavalry, while organizing the cavalry, and decided to have a confrontation with the Tang Dynasty's chariot team.

Now, Wei Lide has learned from the soldiers who later escaped the reason why Datang defeated them.

Because Datang had a new type of weapon, which was actually a chariot formation.
