Just as Li Chengqian and Euljiyan were racing against time to rush to the Northern Desert.
In the Western Turks, there is also a person in the Jinshan King's tent who is paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield in the Northern Desert.
This person is Zhao Youlin.
Apart from other things, Zhao Youlin does have his own uniqueness in opening up new territories. ??
Ever since he led the people from the Third Division of the Northeast to settle in the Northern Desert, his power has grown stronger and stronger.
He first unified most of the Western Turks, and then included part of Xueyantuo's territory into his territory.
Today, he is no longer the Zhao Youlin who was bullied by the family members in Chang'an City.
Now, he has many soldiers and generals under his command, and more than millions of households. He has long been transformed into a veritable Khan king.
After hearing the report from the person next to him, Zhao Youlin looked at the map and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"If the cavalry runs wildly day and night, they can travel up to two hundred miles a day."
"It seems that the two armies will meet in the Northern Desert at least tonight..."
Zhao Youlin slowly turned around and said: "Tonight, regardless of whether Goguryeo succeeds or not, one hundred thousand soldiers of our army will cross the Tianshan Mountains and enter the Yumen Pass."
Obviously, he initiated this war on his own initiative.
Moreover, Goguryeo and Zhao Youlin's wolfish ambitions were clearly revealed, and they obviously wanted to invade the Tang Dynasty from the east and west.
…
It’s noon today.
Goguryeo's five thousand cavalry troops arrived at the outskirts of Beimo Farm half a day in advance.
Standing on the hill, you can see the magnificent scene in front of you.
Today's Beimo Farm is no longer the small farmland that Li Chengqian created when he first came here.
The vast farmland of Beimo Farm now stretches for dozens of miles, and there is a rotating wind mill every other mile.
The scene didn't look like a desolate desert at all, but more like Europe in the 16th century.
The Goguryeo general Euljihiko looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "How beautiful it is." This place, it’s a pity that it will be destroyed soon.”
He slowly drew out his knife and prepared to give the order to attack.
But at this moment, a messenger suddenly came over and reported: "General, the enemy troops are gathering three miles away. It seems that they intend to block our army's advance."
Euljiyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the enemy have?"
The messenger replied: "At a rough look, there should be about two thousand people, all of whom are dismounted and infantry."
An infantryman dismounted?
Two thousand people?
Hearing this, Euljihiko and the lieutenants behind him all laughed.
Cavalry has an advantage in fighting infantry, but the opponent only sent two thousand men to block our advance.
Isn’t this a suicide attempt, or what?
Euljiyan chuckled and said: "Brothers, the Tang people look down on us so much that they only sent two thousand people to die."
"But that's right. The Tang people don't have many soldiers and horses in the Northern Desert. These two thousand people should be their trump card."
"In that case, what are we waiting for?"
Euljiyan slowly drew out his sword: "The whole army listens to the order and rush over with me, kill all the enemy troops and destroy their proud farm!"
Following Euljihiko's order, the five thousand cavalry troops rushed towards the farm with strange shouts.
At this moment, in front of the farm, two thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, holding long blades and wearing heavy armor, stood there motionless.
Even if they saw the opponent's five thousand cavalry rushing toward us in overwhelming numbers, no one showed the slightest panic.
To be honest, there is basically nothing to talk about in this almost one-to-three battle.
In the eyes of these Goguryeo cavalry, they could flatten the opponent just by walking past.
and make them want
What made these people laugh was that when they saw their own cavalry rushing towards them, they actually stood still and did not move.
I'm afraid these people really don't know how to write the word "death".
When they were two hundred steps away, a roar suddenly burst out from the Goguryeo formation: "Kill!"
The momentum of the Goguryeo soldiers suddenly increased by several levels, and the galloping speed of the horses accelerated, rushing straight towards the enemy in front of them.
But those two thousand people faced the enemy's charge without panic.
Under the orderly command of the centurion and the thousands, the battle formation was formed.
In fact, what they call a battle formation is to spread out two thousand people and divide them into two rows, the front row and the back row, and that's it.
The first platoon of soldiers to come into contact with these Goguryeo cavalry was the first platoon of soldiers.
"kill!"
The shouts of killing exploded like thunder.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the first row of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty wielding the terrifying long blades in their hands at the same time, slashing Huashan Mountain from top to bottom.
At that moment, the Goguryeo soldiers who hit the blade were bloody and bloody.
The one-meter-long blade fell, slashing the enemy in front of him to pieces.
The Mo Dao was sharp and tough. Even if a soldier raised his shield to block it, the tough shield would be split into two.
And those cavalrymen collided with the soldiers wearing heavy armor. The soldiers were knocked away, but the cavalrymen were not much better.
The horse was under its crotch, its head was broken, and the Goguryeo cavalry rolled to the ground. Before they could get up, they were cut into several pieces by the soldiers standing in the back row with their swords.
But compared to the almost negligible casualties on the Tang side, hundreds of soldiers on the Goguryeo side were killed in just an instant.
After the soldiers in the first row swung the first sword, they immediately retreated. The soldiers in the second row moved forward, and at the same time, they slashed out from top to bottom with the Mo Dao held high.
This time, the momentum of the Goguryeo cavalry's charge was halted. Then, the soldiers in the second row retreated in an orderly manner, and the soldiers in the first row came out again, and the Mo Dao held high in their hands fell again.
Scenes of blood and flesh were reappeared, with broken limbs and broken arms flying all over the sky, and mutilated corpse fragments strewn all over the ground.
In a short period of time, Mo Dao's heavy armored cavalry only launched three attacks and killed nearly a thousand enemy troops, but the Goguryeo side had no room to fight back.
In front of them, the Goguryeo cavalry were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
It's not like no one has attacked these guys.
But when the knife struck the armor that was almost armed to the teeth, the best outcome was just a splash of sparks.
What does it mean to be invincible?
This is called invincibility...
Everyone knows that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were brave and not afraid of death.
But if you add sharp weapons and indestructible armor to this fearlessness, it will be enough to crush the enemy's bones.
One is worth ten is never an empty talk.
As long as you give him hard enough armor and sharp enough weapons, he can be as good as ten.
These soldiers holding Mo Dao cooperated in an orderly manner, and fell one knife after another, just like a ruthless meat grinder, crazily harvesting the lives of the Goguryeo soldiers.
When faced with the weapons wielded by the enemy, they did not dodge at all, they just stood there and allowed the opponent's weapons to chop down their bodies.
If there is such an army, it holds weapons that can break mountains and rocks, and wears heavy armor that is invulnerable.
So who else in this world can be his enemy?
Euljihiko, who was watching the battle from behind, saw such a scene and was so shocked that he stood on the spot and couldn't even speak...
He thought of the bravery of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were not afraid of death.
But I never thought that this army would be as fierce as heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals.
