Chapter 1353 Falling short

It is worthy of the Christian hammer that once repelled the Arab conquest of the Christian regions and contained the Umayyad dynasty in the Pyrenees. Sharmat did have a great deal of military talent.

Seeing that the defeat in the middle lane has been decided, because of the sacrifice, the Tang army has reached the point of morale, on the other hand, his own soldiers are all intimidated by the madness of the Tang army, Charlie Matt did not fill this hole with all the living forces, but secretly transported his troops to the right side.

He also looks at it very accurately, the Tang Army's left, center, and right armies, and the left army is the weakest link, just as the same people are always used to hitting people with their right hands, and it's a matter of habit.

On the left side of the Tang Army, Zhi Zhi Sili had already led the knights of the northwest frontier soldiers under his command to crisscross a few times in the right cavalry of the Eurasian and Hu people's coalition army, and it was the time when the people were killed and the horses were bloody horses.

In terms of equipment, the entire Tang Dynasty is not stronger than the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, the high-grade horses produced in the Western Regions, the most equipped Mingguang armor, and the source of soldiers is also a young man who is about eighteen to thirty years old near Chang'an, and many of them are the sons and daughters of nobles who have practiced martial arts for generations.

Last time, a few thousand Vikings beat the Beiya Forbidden Army back 2,000 miles, and this time it was 30,000 Vikings who went together, and those old soldiers who had never seen the world couldn't support it.

Suddenly, a large group of barbarians with a height of more than two meters appeared in front of them, and their hands wheeled with heavy Viking battle axes slashed and smashed when they saw each other, even if they split the armored horses, they couldn't stop this heavy axe! Originally, he didn't have the heart to fight, he just watched the northwest border soldiers fight, and as soon as he was caught off guard, the Beiya forbidden army that was unguarded didn't even have a chance to resist, so he was cut off his horse and rode hundreds of horses.

Good to die, Li Fuguo saw that he lost his thinking power and rolled in the millions of troops like a fish in water, the old eunuch suddenly became nervous, wanted to go to the front to get a little cheap, moved from the Chinese army to the edge, did not wait for him to calm down, seeing that one of his cavalry generals was even hacked to death by a Viking barbarian with a horse, the man swung an axe and cut off the head of the cavalry general of the Beiya Forbidden Army, carrying the head of the man in his left hand, carrying the head of the horse in his right hand, and laughing hideously at himself, for a moment, Li Fuguo's courage was frightened.

A stream of urine squirted out, the first red man in front of the emperor, the chief eunuch in charge, watched the army and made a whine, turned around and ran, and the handsome flag moved, and the Beiya Forbidden Army, which had already been frightened, suddenly played the spirit of the last thousand-mile march, and ran away after dropping the position, and some disliked the Mingguang armor that was too heavy, and even took off the armor and threw it on the ground, and slipped away lightly.

Then, the 30,000 infantry of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army who pressed the formation on the left flank of the Tang Army also gave up their positions, and the whole collapsed.

Originally, 20,000 people and more than 100,000 enemies had lost their thinking power, and it was already quite difficult to fight, so it was completely pitted by Li Fuguo, and the right cavalry of the coalition army without scruples behind it was surrounded in all directions, and the northwest border army of the Tang Dynasty was suddenly surrounded by regiments and regiments, and it was difficult.

"Kill the enemy and repay the country!"

Surrounded by the enemy on all sides, the old Turkic general who has been loyal to the Tang Dynasty all his life is still shouting and fighting, the heavy iron gun in his hand is like a poisonous dragon out of the water, constantly picking and killing the thieves who blocked the army before, seeing that when the little remaining northwest cavalry broke through to the edge, a spear pierced from behind, and was tied to the waist of the stubborn mindlessness, and he was picked off the horse, and then more than a dozen Asu people swarmed up, and the spears stabbed in all directions.

With two knives and eleven shots in his body, he was like a hedgehog all over his body, he still roared without his mental strength, and threw the iron spear in his hand with his last strength, piercing the general Hu who was outflanking the army, and then he was unwilling to lie down in the rolling dust.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the northwest cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, which had been surrounded in the center, was finally annihilated, and the left flank of the Tang Dynasty disappeared, and the left rib of the entire Tang army was exposed to the nomadic right army of the Eurasian steppe.

There was no resistance, and tens of thousands of Asu troops rushed towards the Tang Shuai Banner fiercely!

Hearing the heavy sound of Mingjin behind them, Wang Xiaojie and Gao Kan couldn't believe their ears, they fought here to break the Hulu army, and with more strength, the million army of the Hu people completely collapsed.

But the sound of Ming Jin kept ringing, seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji even personally sent cavalry to urge Wang Xiaojie to withdraw his troops, seeing that there were Franks everywhere who had been beaten and scattered, and the Slavs were completely out of formation, Wang Xiaojie was extremely angry and stabbed the horizontal knife into the ground, and then roared loudly unwillingly.

"Order, withdraw the troops!"

The goal of forcing the Tang Army to retreat was achieved, and Charlie Matt, who was also terrified, also did not dare to fight, and also sounded the horn urgently, and the already messy European infantry also retreated westward in a hurry.

At this time, the sun was about to set completely, and the slanting sun shone down desolately, but I saw that the corpses of the entire battlefield were all over the field, the blood was flowing like a river, the arrows planted in the ground were swaying, the broken flags, the spears inserted in the corpses were everywhere, and even a lot of Tang Army corpses were overlapped together, and the extremely poignant scene was revealed.

Retreated to the original camp, the Huotou army prepared dinner with weak energy, thousands of wounded soldiers were screaming in pain, even if they did not go to the wounded barracks, almost all of them were injured, and their morale was particularly low.

The statistics lasted until midnight, the night was already dark, and the five fingers could not be seen, and the main tent of the Chinese army was still brightly lit, and the seven or eight prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty and more than 20 important ministers were all there, and Li Zhi was like a beast in a trap, constantly turning back and forth.

The tent curtain was suddenly opened, and when he saw the eldest grandson Wuji coming in, Li Zhi immediately asked impatiently: "What, how many soldiers and horses did I lose today?"

Since following Li Shimin to raise troops in Taiyuan, the eldest grandson Wuji's face has never been so ugly, seeing that all the colleagues in the room have seen it, the eldest grandson Wuji said slowly with great difficulty.

"The general lost his strength and died in battle, the 20,000 northwest cavalry were wiped out, the losses of the middle infantry were particularly serious, the twenty-seven Zhichong Mansions were all wiped out, the casualties were seven Zhonglang generals, one hundred and thirty-one people below the captain, 70,000 and 51 soldiers, plus the loss of the cavalry on the right road, a total of more than 100,000!"

It's not that all 100,000 people died, more than half of them were wounded soldiers, but with the current medical conditions, most of these people will also be infected and die one after another, in one day, one-fifth of the Tang army went, and the eldest grandson Wuji didn't dare to mention it, the 50,000 Beiya forbidden army who retreated and defected.

However, even if the eldest grandson Wuji didn't say it, Li Zhi still remembered it clearly, his face was ugly like the bottom of a pot, Li Zhi banged on the dragon chair angrily and roared: "Li Fuguo, eunuch!" Dog! I will not cut you with a thousand knives and cut you all over the house, I will never give up! ”

But just when Li Zhi was extremely angry, Yu Zhining, the prime minister who had been supervising the battle with the army for a day, and was also covered with dust, said something that made everyone's hearts chuckle.

"Li Fuguo's thieves have the token of Liangzhou in their hands, if he enters the customs first, captures Chang'an, and then hostages His Majesty King Yong, who is in prison, the consequences will ......"

"This thief, he dares!" Li Zhi immediately roared with an extremely ugly face, but it could still be seen from his trembling hands that Li Zhi also knew the seriousness of this consequence, those who have to close the door will win the world, this sentence is not blown in the early Tang Dynasty, there is a strong enemy in front, and the back road will be cut off by the defected old gelding~ The dog has been cut off, and now the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xizhou are definitely not coming back.

Can you retire now? Even today, the Hulu army has suffered heavy losses, but there are still 200,000 cavalry eyeing it! At this time, it is not advisable to go.

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, the tent door was opened again, and Xiao Huaiyu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground with a touch of ecstasy, and bowed his head urgently: "Your Majesty! Exultation! Thirty-one Hu kings, including Sharmat, Garibaldi, and Berenus, sent envoys to the Hu Dynasty on the opposite side, hoping to pray to my Tang Dynasty! ”

And this good thing? For a while, more than 30 pairs of eyes from Li Zhi to the eldest grandson Wuji fell on Xiao Huaiyu's body in disbelief............
