Chapter 159 Big Victory

When the cavalry charges, as long as they form a cone-shaped formation and don't stop up and down, then we can win even if the opponent has more people than you.

Huo Qubing and Li Guang led their men to attack from the left and right, Li Xiang led Ma Chao and others from the middle, and the three lines of cavalry shuttled back and forth among Tuyuhun's army like three arrows.

There are still some soldiers in the middle who want to organize a defense line. Unfortunately, Li Xiang and the others are holding serial crossbows in their hands. Whenever they find more than a hundred soldiers gathered together, they will shoot arrows at them.

Over time, the soldiers of Tuyuhun also discovered that if you want to survive, it is better to run far away by yourself. If you gather into a queue, it will easily attract the attention of the Tang army. When the Tang army pays attention at this time When you arrive, it will be a disaster. They will never let go of any assembled soldiers. Most of the corpses on the ground are assembled soldiers.

Li Xiang and the others killed so vigorously. Although they had predicted their victory before, they did not expect that they would kill like this. The scene was really littered with corpses. Many of Tuyuhun's soldiers had no fighting spirit, and all of them were dead. Kneeling on the ground, they only thought that Tang Jun could spare their lives, and they even had no strength to escape.

Li Xiang panted heavily and finally stopped. He led his cavalry back and forth four times. All the troops in Tuyuhun were unable to organize an offensive. Now, except for those kneeling on the ground, they were probably just lying down waiting to die. People.

"Rest for a while, then take inventory of the battlefield and catch the alive ones."

Li Xiang felt that his voice was hoarse. When he led his brothers to charge, he shouted loudly and ordered his brothers to do things without shouting.

"Your Highness, your uncle Yu Dan has run away."

When he rushed in just now, Huo Qubing wanted to capture the thief first. No matter where Yu Dan was, he led his men to kill him first. As a result, Yu Dan had already run away, although there was a bright yellow man in the team. The frame of the car, but there was no one on it.

"Although he is a smart old boy, it is useless for him to run back and bring out all his elite troops. After this battle, the number of soldiers in his hands will never exceed 10,000. Just because he has such a After a huge defeat, I guess Tuyuhun Khan will not spare him, he has lost too many troops."

Li Xiang said with a smile, the Ronggong tribe is the third largest tribe in Tuyuhun, and they have many people who are good at fighting. However, after this battle, most of the generals and soldiers of the Ronggong tribe were lost here. After all, there were only a few people who ran away from Yu Dan. This was a huge defeat for Tuyuhun. It was surprising that Tuyuhun Khan spared him.

"The prince is right. This guy is a general under Yu Dan. I whipped him twice just now. I said everything that should be said but should not be said. Tuyuhun Khan did not allow Yu Dan to lead the army and found out that our It’s time to gather all the surrounding armies, and now it’s estimated that people from the fifteen surrounding tribes are rushing here.”

Li Guang rode a horse and pulled a man over. This man was Yu Dan's general. At this moment, he would say anything to survive.

According to what he said, Yu Dan pulled out nearly 40,000 people in total. Except for the 6,000 cavalry from his headquarters, no one else ran out just now. This was mainly because his people were in the core position. When the shelling first started, he The men under his command were still able to stay together, but as for the other troops, they were already in chaos when the shelling just started.

"How many more people are there in your tribe?"

Li Xiang looked at the dark prisoners around him and expected that there would not be many people in the Ronggong tribe.

"Returning to the prince, there are nearly 40,000 people in our tribe, but 30,000 of them are women, old people and children. They don't have much fighting power, but people from the fifteen nearby tribes should have gathered in our tribe. , they can send a total of nearly 30,000 troops."

This guy said honestly that he was a man on the grassland in normal times, and it was impossible for him to betray his tribe, but there were so many people who died today, which made him feel that the Tang army was invincible. , so even if you continue to resist with your men, there will be no good results in the end.

To put it bluntly, the belief in their hearts collapsed, especially when the Tang army rushed over. They had never seen such a brave cavalry. Although some warriors from their tribe also rushed forward with swords, they were just like the defeated soldiers. That said, our weapons are completely different from those of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how strong you are, there is no way to resist the steel swords in the hands of the Tang army. They can cut off your weapons with one sword. How can we resist such an army?

So in this case, even the most courageous Tuyuhun warriors had doubts in their hearts. Could it be that it was really like what the Tang army preached? They were people from the Kingdom of Heaven, and we were just barbarians from the southwest. , if we want to fight against the people of the Kingdom of Heaven, then the final result will be only one death. This is already destined by God.

People in this era generally have a bit of feudal superstition. Before the Tang army arrived on the grassland, this theory had already begun to circulate on the grassland. In addition, the Tang army was victorious, so these people could not help but believe it. This is what is happening today. One reason why so many prisoners were taken.

Li Xiang thought about it in his mind. The other party once again assembled 30,000 cavalry. It was not impossible to fight, but the problem was that there were at least 20,000 prisoners in front of him. If all these people were to be killed, it would be really difficult. It's so sinful. In the past, one or two thousand people were ignored, but now there are 20,000 prisoners!

It's not possible to take these people to fight, so Li Xiang can only return to Liangzhou City first. If he takes these people to fight, it will definitely be a bad idea to separate troops to guard them.

"Send people to organize the troops and horses, tie them up for me, and form a group of ten. If anyone dares to escape, kill ten of them."

After some simple thinking in Li Xiang's mind, he immediately figured out the most beneficial direction of action for him, which was to take these people back to Liangzhou City as quickly as possible.

"We won't fight against the Ronggong tribe?"

Huo Qubing had disappointment on his face. He had been sharpening his sword for a long time and was about to attack these prisoners. After killing them all, we can continue the war...
