Chapter 176: Take the city of Lujian

The city is the same as the city of Hengros, on the left bank of the Talas River, the two cities are only thirty miles apart, the difference is that the city is not a real city, just a large village by the Talas River, and the city of Hengros is an extremely important transportation hub on the north line of the Silk Road, its north is a vast desert, and the east is blocked by the Qianquan Mountain Range, the west is to kill the water, occupies an extremely important strategic position, if the stone country sends troops to garrison here, the northern Tuqi people can not go south.

Late at night, Zhao Ziliang led the team to quietly approach the city of Lujian by the Talas River, stopping three miles away, and the cool breeze blowing by the Talas River on the right made Zhao Ziliang and the soldiers cooler.

The weather was fine tonight, and the moonlight sprinkled on the earth like a silver dress. The various tents and wooden houses of the city are clearly visible in the moonlight.

Zhao Ziliang rode a horse and stood on the hillside, holding the reins and looking at the city of Lujian three miles away. After a long time, Wang Can rode over and trotted over to report: "General, I have already investigated, there are no outposts around, and I have not found any rout troops who have escaped from Hengros City."

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "You take a few people to the city to feel the situation, find the specific location and deployment of the 1,000 Turquoise troops stationed there, the speed is faster, if a large number of routs flee, it will definitely alarm the garrison army." Also, be careful not to get noticed! ”

"No!" Wang Can agreed, beckoned to the few nights behind him, and after dismounting, he quietly led them to Lujian City.

For the nomads, settling somewhere will expose a great weakness, because they will not build a city, will not defend the city, and are not good at fighting in the streets, so Zhao Ziliang will be so easy to connect several cities in a few days, and the existence of the city will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the nomads, if they do not have a city. Instead, they continued to live in pursuit of water and grass, moving from time to time, and it was very difficult for the Tang Dynasty army to find them for a decisive battle, and almost all of them were cavalry, and in such a situation, even if they couldn't win, they could slip away at any time. It was because the Mongols occupied the Central Plains, lived in the city, and gave up the natural advantages of the nomads that they were beaten by the Ming Dynasty, and when they retreated to the northern steppes. The Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with them, so it can be seen that if a nation gives up its own characteristics, it will not be far from extinction.

Half an hour later, Wang Can and his men did not take it back at night, and he reported to Zhao Ziliangyu: "General, the garrison of 1,000 Turkish troops is camped near the Talas River, and there is a tall wooden house in the middle of the city, guarded by soldiers. The subordinates were worried about being discovered, so they didn't dare to get too close, but the subordinates wanted Princess Jiaohe to live there! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and ordered: "Wei Meng." Give you a hundred. When the general leads people to attack the enemy camp, you lead people to kill the guards around the big house in the middle, and find the whereabouts of the Khatun Ashina clan of Sulu Khan, and make sure to ensure her safety! ”

Wei Meng saluted on horseback and arched his hand: "No! ”

After taking Wang Can and some night cavalry slowly disappeared into the night. Zhao Ziliang put the horse lance on the victory hook and took out the treasure carving bow from the bow bag, and the soldiers saw this. They also took out their bows and arrows, before launching an attack or charging at the enemy, these Tang troops under Zhao Ziliang's training had long been accustomed to the first wave of attacks being bows and arrows, and only before rushing into the enemy formation did they change to long weapons at the fastest speed, this tactic can fully give the enemy the greatest blow and deterrence.

Zhao Ziliang raised his right hand and pointed forward quietly, his legs clamped the horse's belly, the war horse walked forward, and after a few steps, he began to jog, and the soldiers behind him also began to follow him to drive the war horse forward, and in the process adjusted the formation, maintaining neat movements and queues.

In the battle of cold weapons, even if the individual is strong, the destructive power caused is extremely limited, but the army group attack is completely different, especially the army with strict military discipline, in the battle, the destructive power exerted by the army with a neat formation is definitely much stronger than the destructive power exerted by the army with a loose formation, this is because the army with a neat formation will exert its strength in one place when attacking, while the army with a loose formation can not do this, or their destructive power will be dispersed because of the loose formation.

Jogging gently, when there were deep weeds on the ground, the sound was not very loud, and when the army was only two miles away from the city, Zhao Ziliang and the cavalry behind him began to accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again.

The process was very fast, with a distance of nearly two and a thousand meters, but after the cavalry raised their speed, it only took less than a minute to rush to the front.

The location of the enemy barracks is very conspicuous, just by the river, in fact, it cannot be said to be a barracks, because the nomads have never had the habit of defense, so this camp not only has no watchtower, but also has no defensive facilities such as arrow towers, fences, horse rejections, and trenches, all of which are cowhide tents of a water.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zhao Ziliang roared, his hand didn't stop, and an arrow flew out, one after another.

The soldiers kept shooting arrows into the camp not far away, and the first group of Thirshi soldiers who had just heard the movement and ran out of the tent were immediately wiped out, most of them were killed by the flying arrows, and a small number of people were shot with their heads scurrying, and the screams and screams continued to come out.

After three consecutive rounds of arrows were fired, Zhao Ziliang and the cavalry behind him had already arrived at the camp.

"Torch!" Zhao Ziliang, who rushed to the front of the camp, roared, pulled the reins, and rode his horse around the camp and began to run in circles.

When the knights behind them heard the order, the people with torches immediately threw the torches in their hands towards the tents in the camp, and as the army galloped around the camp, many tents in the camp were thrown torches, and the other Turkey soldiers in the camp who had just been awakened ran out of the tents in panic.

The entire camp quickly burned, and Zhao Ziliang immediately rode his horse and rushed into the camp, taking advantage of the best time for the enemy to rush in when they were panicked and had no power to resist.

"Kill-" Zhao Ziliang on horseback held the horse lance and slashed forward twice, and the two turquoise soldiers who had just run out of a tent were instantly cut to the ground.

After rushing into the camp, the whole camp was already in chaos, Zhao Ziliang led his cavalry to constantly shuttle between the tents, cutting people when they saw them, especially some of the disheveled Turquoise soldiers who had just run out of the tents, and they were killed defenselessly, as simple and easy as killing chickens.

Zhao Ziliang shouted while wielding a horse lance to kill the enemy soldiers: "Li Siye, Wang Can, Chu Ge, you each take a team of men and horses to rush back and forth, don't let one go, Zheng San, take people to the stables and let go of all the horses!" ”

"No!"

If the Turks don't have horses, they lose their combat power, and even if they can run on two legs, they can't run on four legs, even if these Turks want to escape, they are quickly caught up and killed by the Tang cavalry on horseback, which is why Zhao Ziliang asked Zheng San to go to the stable and let go of all the war horses, and those war horses can only be retrieved if they run away, which is not to worry about at all.

After the chaos in the camp, the Turgish soldiers were killed one after another, and some people really thought of running to the stable to prepare to escape on horseback, but they didn't expect Zheng San to rush to the stable with someone first, and let all the horses go, and now the Turgish soldiers couldn't run away if they wanted to.

Zhao Ziliang took Hu Cong's cavalry and Li Siye and others into several teams, and rushed back and forth in the camp to kill, but all the turbid soldiers who could still move were killed.

There was blood everywhere, corpses everywhere, but it was a scream, Zhao Ziliang originally disagreed with Fu Meng Lingcha's order to allow the soldiers to act recklessly in Hengluo City, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Ziliang didn't know how long he had been killed, he only felt that blood was constantly splashing on his face and body, until he could no longer see a living enemy in the range of his sight, he stopped, and the surrounding soldiers all looked at him blankly, at this time he found that the ground was already covered with a layer of corpses, all of which were Turgish.

Doing a thing often can really make people numb, such as killing people, if it was before, it was not easy to take away a person's life, of course, it is not to say how tenacious a person's life is, it is impossible to start, but now for Zhao Ziliang, killing people is as simple as killing a chicken, as long as the horse lance in his hand is shaken, he can take away several lives in an instant.

"General, are you alright?" Li Siye immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.

Zhao Ziliang spit out a breath of turbidity, wiped a handful of blood on his face, and shook his head: "It's okay, Zheng San took people to stay to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded!" ”

"No!" Zheng San agreed.

Zhao Ziliang took Li Siye, Chu Ge, Wang Can and others to the door of the largest wooden house in the city, where all the guards had been killed by Wei Meng, and Wei Meng's people also took over this place at this time.

The lights in the house came out of the gate ****, the door was illuminated very brightly, Zhao Ziliang jumped off the horse, and Li Siye and others behind him also dismounted.

Zhao Ziliang saw a tall chief standing at the door with two soldiers holding the hilt of a sword, and when the chief saw Zhao Ziliang and others coming, he immediately bowed: "Meet the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was about to casually say something to let them get up, but he found that this person was a little familiar, and he quickly remembered who this person was, and he was no longer the bandit leader of the Desert Wind Bandits? So he asked, "Yun Dingtian, when did you get promoted?" ”

Yun Dingtian didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to remember himself, and hurriedly said: "Last year, when the Tucai Shi people attacked the city, the villain made some contributions to Captain Wang's sentinel team, so he was promoted, thank you for the promotion!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "I didn't promote you, you will be promoted because of your merits, being a captain in the sentry team is comparable to being a captain in other battalions, not bad!" What about Wei Meng? ”

Yun Dingtian replied: "Captain Wei was injured just now, and he is bandaging the wound next to him!" ”

"Oh? Still injured? Let's go and have a look! ”

Wei Meng had just bandaged his wounds, and when he saw Zhao Ziliang coming, he immediately said in unison: "General! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the wound he was bandaging and asked, "How is it, is the injury serious?" ”

Wei Meng smiled: "It's okay, just scratch some skin!" ”

"Okay, since it's okay, then let's go meet Princess Jiaohe!" (To be continued.) )
