If Arslan, Sejirahu, Hua Shisan and other horse thieves leaders had the courage to look back at this moment, they would immediately regret it and vomit their intestines out.
The tidal wave of Tang army's offensive was gone. Ru Lin Kaifeng, who had once been unstoppable by Sai Ji La with all his strength, slowed down in front of a group of prisoners who dropped their weapons and started to kill them. It seemed that they could not completely give up on the same kind of people.
He was so compassionate that he could not let his mount trample over the prisoner's body. Although every moment of delay, more horse thieves would slip through the net.
Compared with these adherents who could not escape the kindness of women, the "ambushes" who later attacked from both wings were obviously more ruthless and decisive. However, although the momentum generated by these two ambushes was huge, the actual results achieved were minimal.
. They are too obsessed with showing off their personal prowess and rarely cooperate with each other, or there is no cooperation at all. They do not know any basic cavalry tactics such as detours, outflanking, coordination, relays, etc.! As long as the horse thieves rush forward at all costs, they will
If there is a chance to escape from the knife given to them, there is no need to be overly afraid.
Compared with the above two teams, Yipengsha, Xuedawang and others who defected at the last moment showed a bit of combat experience. But rather than chasing death and chasing north, what they need now is to speed up as soon as possible.
Prove one's identity. After all, a worn-out battle flag cannot tell everything clearly. When there was a common enemy just now, the Tang army on the opposite side had no time to care too much. As soon as the resistance of the horse thieves collapsed, dozens of long-armed soldiers immediately showed up.
If the two teams, Yipengsha and Xuedawang, show a little bit of hostility, they won't mind launching the thunderous offensive they just imposed on the horse thieves!
As long as Arslan and others are not overwhelmed by the sudden and huge changes. As long as they lead their direct subordinates to hold on for a moment longer at the core of the battlefield, the outcome will be completely different. At least, they may be able to withdraw more than half of their minions.
However, all this is just a hypothesis. The decades of power the Tang Army has accumulated in the Western Regions are enough to make Arslan and others frightened. They did not dare to look back, did not dare to ignore the screams of the brothers around them, and just continued to mobilize
Mount, urge the mount. Although there are many swordsmen chasing after them, after all, there is a certain gap between the sophistication of the mounts and the familiarity of the surrounding terrain with the horse thieves. After cutting off dozens of heads, they were slowly
opened the distance.
Seeing that if he continued to chase, there was a risk of being separated from the group, Qi Dazui reluctantly gathered his team. Another swordsman leader, Chu Duyan, had not finished his killing spree when he heard Qi Dazui blow the pre-arranged call to retreat.
Horn, riding his horse, he came over and asked with a frown: "Isn't it a pity to let them go like this?!"
"Let them play around for a few more days!" Although he felt as sorry as a good friend, Qi Dazui had a hard mouth and smiled, pretending to have a plan in mind, "The Imperial Envoy has told us in advance that we should
Don't run too far away from the main group. He must have anticipated this moment and deliberately let a few thieves escape!"
"The Imperial Envoy told me, why don't I remember it at all?!" Chu Duyan frowned fiercely. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember when the Imperial Envoy had made such a request to himself and Qi Dazui. However, at this moment,
He admired Wang Xun to the point where he wanted to have him imprisoned, and he did not dare to do anything against him. "I guess I didn't take it to heart at the time. To be honest, Lao Qi, we two brothers really made a mistake this time."
Got it!"
"Who says it's not!" Qi Dazui couldn't help but want to bite his fingers when he mentioned the series of events that had happened in the past few days. It was too much like a dream, even more unreal than a dream. Several people who have been on the Silk Road for most of their lives
Lao Jianghu actually didn't see the difference between a caravan and a military force! And after the identity of the imperial envoy was exposed, he showed his mind and methods, which made him even more impressed. He refused to vent his anger on innocent traders and swordsmen.
Unwilling to succumb to adversity. In an unknown place where the enemy is indistinguishable from ourselves, he does not hesitate to use the banner of the Tang Dynasty envoy. Faced with an enemy army several times his own, he has no fear, and uses all his unique moves to defeat the horse thieves like a machete.
They were defeated.
Especially the ambush that sneaked behind the horse thieves' team in advance was a stroke of genius. I thought of all the famous generals and wise generals that I could remember, and even Qi Dazui didn't think that they were as invisible as the imperial envoy.
The more you look at it with admiration, the more perfect the image of the Imperial Envoy becomes. Although his face is darker than those of the heroes in the legend, and his figure is too thick, which is incompatible with the cool and unrestrained appearance of the legendary heroes who strategize and win thousands of miles. Return
On the way, Qi Dazui continued to discuss with his old friend, "Do you think our Tang Dynasty has been eyeing these groups of horse thieves for a long time? Otherwise, how could the ambush soldiers sneak behind the horse thieves so easily?"
"I guess so!" Chu Duyan rubbed his eyes that were already red with excitement and responded with a grin. "Did you notice? The flags of the ambush soldiers have all faded. To say the least, they were at least here earlier than us.
More than 10 years. Tsk tsk, the strategy of the Imperial Envoy is really mature. Compared with him, we people are really as old as dogs!"
"Yes, yes. You should not be judged by appearance!" The swordsmen nearby nodded repeatedly. No matter how much they disliked the young imperial envoy before, at this moment, everyone believed that the strange words before this battle did not come from their own mouths.
"It's best for the Imperial Envoy to stop being busy with official duties and lead us all the way across. Humph, let me see which horse thieves dare to be so arrogant on this road!"
Is this really going to happen? Stop dreaming! Qi Dazui and Chu Duyan shook their heads at each other. Based on their years of experience as swordsmen, this is the first time in their lives that the government and military have proactively provided protection to vendors.
I saw it for the first time. In the past, although the Tang Dynasty had a great reputation in the Western Regions, and the strength of the Anxi Army certainly despised other heroes, this majesty was never shared with ordinary people. In the eyes of most ordinary people, the official army was defeated in the Western Regions.
Winning the battle seems to be a matter for the imperial court. It has nothing to do with them and it will not bring them any benefit!
But today, the imperial envoy who led a group of horse thieves, does he really speak and behave differently from other high officials? Does he have other backgrounds besides his status as an imperial envoy? Thinking about this, Qi Dazui and Chu Duiyan
All of them raised their heads in unison and looked towards the battlefield in the distance.
The golden battle flag of the Tang Dynasty is still standing upright in the wind, proud and luxurious. It is really different. The battle flags of the Tang Dynasty in the past have never made people feel so close. I really hope that he will go further and choose more
Higher. Qi Dazui and others thought silently, and unknowingly, they straightened their waists, straight.
