Yao Luoge and Jing Qiong Khan looked proudly at the Uighur light cavalry rushing towards the Han army like a mountain and sea, but after a moment, the smile on his face solidified into suspicion. The Han army's reaction was beyond his expectations. They took advantage of the situation to convert the narrow and long marching column into two crescent-shaped defense lines based on the core chariot formation, and shot the most fierce Uighur warriors in front of the formation.

The Uighur warriors were not unafraid. On both sides of the north and south, under the rain of arrows issued by thousands of archers and infantry archers, Uighur warriors were waving scimitars and bows and arrows everywhere. Many of them were shot with arrows, but they had no time to pull them out, so they could only continue to shout forward with pain. In order to facilitate their movement, most of the Uighur cavalry were only wearing thin armor, and the Lanzhou army was biting the flesh. Near the chariot formation, the archers of the Divine Eagle Camp could penetrate without having to drive the bow and arrow. Their archery speed was extremely accurate and fast. Under the cover of the big chariot and the archers, they concentrated on shooting the Uighur cavalry that rushed to the nearest.

Because the soldiers of Chengying Camp were few and most of them were good at archery skills, they were also used as archers at this moment. "Ten, eleven, twelve." Zhongtong was aiming at the arrow and shouted loudly while counting. In Guannan, the infantry archers of the Song army arranged into dense arrow formations to stop the Liao army's cavalry, fighting for bloody courage. At this moment, the archers were hiding in the chariot formation and the brigade of its own cavalry formation, specializing in shooting and killing the enemy, without any worries about being trampled by the enemy cavalry. It was really a pleasure.

Chen De stood at the highest point of the chariot formation and looked around. He saw Uighur soldiers rushing from all directions. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they gradually approached the chariot formation. The rangers outside the chariot formation suffered some casualties and began to rush out to fight with the enemy in close combat. In the large open space in the middle of the chariot formation, thousands of cavalry had already arranged their attacking teams and were ready to go. "Commander, let the cavalry rush forward!" The commander of a thousand cavalry in the north, Yu Fu Rengui turned his head, and said,

He asked for his order loudly, and at this moment, there were sounds of killing sounds shook the sky, sounds of golden drums, sounds of sharp arrows breaking through the air, sounds of weapons and the roar of iron hooves, screams of the injured, and loudly provoking the officers, all of them were heard. Chen De could not hear Yu Fu Rengui roaring at all. It was only from his mouth and expression on his face that he wanted to attack. Chen De shook his head slightly. He could see clearly the situation of the entire battlefield where he was. It was better to break one finger than to hurt his ten fingers. Now it was not the time for the cavalry to rush forward.

More and more Uighur cavalry were rushing closer, forcing the ranger battalion soldiers to raise their spears and fight with them. The Uighur cavalry who rushed to the formation finally had the opportunity to fight close together, and wanted to continue to work hard and defeat the Han army's formation in one fell swoop. The leaders of each tribe shouted loudly and killed the Lanzhou army's light cavalry that blocked them from rushing into the formation. The Lanzhou light cavalry was fighting and retreating into the formation. The gaps in the formation of Lanzhou army were not very wide. At present, the cavalry of both sides squeezed in the middle and went back and forth, losing the speed of the cavalry, but gave the archers of the Artillery Camp who retreated to the center circular formation to shoot the enemy cavalry.

The infantry of the Horizon and Modao Camp were formed in a 100-man team, relying on the outer chariot formation to form a strict small circular formation, which was like a turtle shell or a hedgehog in a group. The Uighur cavalry with thin armor had no way to get off the door. Once they approached, they would be attacked by infantry. The Uighur cavalry who broke into the chariot formation had to avoid these heavy infantry clusters and went forward and fought back to the inner chariot formation with the commanding flag of the Lanzhou Army. Unexpectedly, under the command of the lieutenant and the centurion, these more than ten horizontal chariot camps and Modao Camps were

The circular formation gradually moved between the largest gaps of the outer chariot array, and heavy infantry filled the main passage for the large group of Uighur cavalry to pour into the chariot array. More than 2,000 Uighur cavalry who rushed into the chariot array suddenly became alone. At this time, there were 6,000 cavalry in the Lanzhou chariot array, of which 1,500 cavalry were specialized in close combat, and 500 heavy cavalry full of heavy armored black clouds. These Lanzhou cavalry, who were waiting for their hard work, immediately turned the defense and attacked, and surrounded and killed the two thousand Uighur light cavalry that broke into the chariot array.

The moment the Uighur governor Shi Xiutu rushed into the chariot formation, he saw the heavy armored cavalry gathered next to the inner chariot formation, waiting for work. The idea of ​​"being trapped" immediately came to his mind. He saw the opportunity and immediately turned around. While fighting desperately in the direction away from the group of heavy armored cavalry, he shouted loudly: "Fight with me!" The more than a hundred cavalry confidants around him were paying attention to the governor's orders all the time, and immediately surrounded Shi Xiutu and fought out. According to convention, more Uighur cavalry were rushing.

When the Han military chariot formation approached, it had entered the stage of self-warfare. Most of the Uighur warriors completely lost their organization and formation, and were immersed in the pleasure of breaking through the Han chariot formation. The step-by-step retreat of the Lanzhou Ranking Camp further affirmed their idea of ​​"these cowards can only shoot arrows from a distance and dare not fight close together." Although they saw a large group of Han cavalry in front of them waiting for the battle, they rushed up without hesitation. Some even tried their best to stab the horse, trying to break through the inner layer of the Han chariot formation in one fell swoop and cut off the high-mounted general flag.

A powerful arrow flew over Chen De's helmet, "Sir, please avoid it for now." Cai Bailian, the centurion of the Tooth Army camp who was blocking him, said worriedly. Many Uighur cavalrymen noticed the main general standing high in the conspicuous Lanzhou chariot formation. While fighting forward, Lengzi kept releasing Lengzi to the place. Five or six Tooth soldiers stood around Chen De, all of whom were heavy armor, with arrows inserted in the gaps between the armor on his shoulders and chest, but still straightened their bodies to block Chen De's body. If it weren't for the weak arch power, these Tooth soldiers would have been shot to death long ago. Even so, three Tooth soldiers were shot into the vital throat and fell down, and others immediately filled the vacancy.

"No! If you move the position of commander at this time, it will be unfavorable to the morale of the army!" Chen De said in a deep voice, looking at the royal flag of the Uighur Khan in Ganzhou in the distance, thinking to himself, is the Uighur Khan also watching him? As long as his commander's flag moves, the enemy will immediately shout rumors of the Han commander's serious injury and death. His concern was not without cause. He established the commander's flag in a prominent position, first, to timely control and dispatch the troops of the army isolated from the fronts of the enemy and our army, and second, to inspire morale. The simple battlefield communication conditions in the era of cold weapons made the commander and the commander of the army and each army.

The troops were in a prisoner's dilemma. It has been common for thousands of years since the soldiers abandoned the commander of the army and retreated without permission, resulting in the defeat of the entire army. Therefore, the display of the commander's position is a necessary means to firmly fight to the end of the soldiers. "Even if you give a few lives, you will be willing to do so." Looking at the trusted soldier who was guarding beside him, injured or even dead in order to protect him, Chen De said intimidated that he seemed to have disappeared from the cruel battle that was close at hand, and only frowned and stared at the Uighur King's flag shining brightly in the sunshine in the distance.

Shi Xiutu led his trusted cavalry to attack the 100-man army team of the Han army's heavy infantry, all of which were in vain. "These damn Han people!" As a good cavalryman, Shi Xiutu looked down on infantry from the bottom of his heart, thinking that they were all materials to fill the gullies with hay on their backs. Compared with Uighur eagles, they were like ants. Even in Hexi, the Guiyi Army, which was famous and fierce, good at fighting, Shi Xiutu only admired the Han cavalry who rode fierce horses like Uighur athletes. However, this group of Han heavy infantry gathered in a group, just like that.

It completely blocked the vitality of the large Uighur cavalry in the chariot formation. Without the cooperation of extremely high horse speed, the Uighur cavalry could not see through the heavy armor of these Han infantry soldiers with a scimitar. What's more, there were many Modao hands in the Han infantry formation. Once the Uighur cavalry with thin armor approached, the ups and downs of the Modao would cut the bloody and bloody together with the people and horses. However, the chariot formation was filled with Han and Uighur cavalry. As the Uighurs were increasingly divided by Han cavalry, it was extremely difficult for Shi Xiutu, the cavalry to move, let alone riding a horse and galloping.

The Uighur cavalry outside the chariot formation was blocked and they also had all their strength to attack these Han army formations that blocked the road. It was also useless. You should know that even in an unobstructed area, the heavy infantry of the Han army formed a formation could resist the frontal impact of the cavalry. What's more, in these horizontal camps, the soldiers of the Modao Camp were surrounded by large marching chariots that were difficult to jump over by war horses, and behind them were thousands of cavalrymen. The archers and cavalrymen who did not directly fight with the Uighur cavalry in the chariot formation were still firing arrows to kill the Uighur cavalry that rushed to the formation.

.More importantly, those who were mixed with the marching chariots were noble families dressed in Uighur clothes. The Lanzhou Army occupied Ganzhou and went to the army to go on a war quickly, but the news received by the Ganzhou Uighur Army did not contain the news that the Lanzhou Army had brought the noble families to the side. However, the Uighur cavalry who rushed to the nearest could see clearly. Even many commanders saw their families on the battlefield, huddled in fear in the thick wooden cage. The women were scared to death, and some young children were even scared to cry.

"Ba, Dad!" Shi Xiutu, covered in sweat, suddenly heard the cry of his beloved son. At this moment, he thought he had hallucinations. Large beads of sweat flowed down his jaw from the cracks in the iron helmet. Shi Xiutu focused his energy and was about to lead his warriors to attack the Han army infantry formation again. The situation was clear at the moment. The strength of the Han cavalry in this chariot formation was no less than that of the Uighurs. The reason for retreating was simply to lure them into the formation, and then use the crowd to win the victory with the smallest casualties.

"What a cunning Han man!" Shi Xiutu cursed angrily. The guards around him blocked the Han cavalry rushing from all directions for him. There were fewer and fewer Uighurs riding on horses in the chariot. He cheered up and was about to rush to kill again. The voice of "father, father!" was pierced into his ear hole again. This time it was definitely not an illusion. Shi Xiutu couldn't help but loosen the reins and looked around. He saw that in a prison car twenty or thirty steps away, his parents, wife and children were cages inside. His son seemed to have just cried. His little face was full of flowers, and he was so pitiful.

He shouted, the whole family looked at him worriedly, but Shi Xiutu was even more worried about their safety. Next to the prison car, the heavy infantry of the Han people and the Uighur cavalry who rushed inward were still fighting fiercely, with sharp arrow feathers flying past from time to time. Shi Xiutu noticed that several Uighurs, young and old, had been shot and killed by the tramp arrows. For a moment, he felt dizzy, full of resentment, but he didn't know where to vent. On the battlefield, from the core Han chariot formation, the Han soldiers began to shout loudly in Uighur language: "Submitted people are exempt from death!"

At this point, Shi Xiutu sighed to the sky, put down the weapons in his hand, and surrendered. Seeing that the main general had lost his fighting spirit, the guards around him stopped resisting. The one who broke into the chariot formation was the most elite warriors of the Ganzhou Uighur tribes after a hard battle. At this time, there were only more than a thousand people remaining, sitting on the horse with complicated faces, watching the cavalry on the periphery attacking the Han people's peripheral chariot formation in vain, and on the even more distant mountain top, the royal flag of the Ganzhou Uighurs seemed to be slowly moving backwards.

Yao Luoge and Jing Qiong Khan's face were dark and in a hurry. Just when the Uighur athletes broke into the Han chariot formation and the Han archers began to retreat, he almost thought victory was within his control, and even asked his personal guards to speed up the drum beat to urge the cavalry to rush forward quickly. Unexpectedly, the battle situation afterwards became more and more unexpected. The heavy armored infantry of the Han people have always been difficult to deal with. Yao Luoge and Jing Qiong saw with his own eyes when he was young that a team of hundreds of Guiyi Army heavy armored infantry blocked thousands of Tu's at the mountain pass in order to cover the evacuation of the people who were burned and killed by the Tubo people.

The foreign cavalry attacked and killed for an hour, and the bayonets were killed and fought to the death. In the end, the Tubo cavalry relied on this man to slaughter the heavy infantry, but missed the opportunity to chase and kill the Han people. Yao Luoge Jingqiong led the Uighur knights through the battlefield and cut off the armor of the Han army that died in battle. The armor page in front of each pair of armor was broken and full of holes, but there was almost no damage behind it. It can be seen that these tough infantrymen faced the direction of the attack of the Tubo cavalry during the entire battle. They fought to the last moment and did not turn around and escape. What a tough warrior.

So when the Lanzhou Army assembled heavy armored infantry to block the various exits of the outer edge of the chariot formation, Yao Luoge and Jing Qiong felt an unknown premonition. Sure enough, no matter how the Uighur cavalry attacked the Uighur cavalry inside and outside the chariot formation, these infantry stood firm like reefs. Until the overwhelming Han cavalry solved the battle in the chariot formation, they let go of the exit. The Han cavalry with strict formation began to chase the defeated Uighur cavalry. In the short battle just now, the bravest soldiers of the Ganzhou Uighurs either died in front of the sharp arrow rain of the Han people or were thrown into the chariot formation. Now those who turned around and fled were all defeated soldiers who had lost their confidence in fighting. Only more than two thousand cavalry in Lanzhou pursued from the north and south respectively, forcing these Uighur cavalry several times more than he was to flee into the valley.

Yao Luoge and Jingqiong also climbed up their saddles and fled to Suzhou. He looked at the Chen-chariot flag in the center of the Han people's chariot formation with some hatred. Under the general's flag, the commander of the Lanzhou Army was coldly watching the Uighur king flag slowly retreating down the mountain peak. Under the royal flag, the mountains were covered with Uighur soldiers. "From now on, the master of this Hexi land will no longer be you."
