Chapter 65 The First Round of Julan City

After learning that Yang Yi had occupied Melki, Guo Shiyong immediately sent a scout cavalry to set up a liner along the desert. When he saw the Uighur soldiers and horses, he immediately replied. If there were a small group of people, he would wave the blue flag, if the strange soldiers advanced, he would wave the yellow flag, if the army advanced one after another, he would wave the red flag.

Now that he saw the red flag waving, the Tang army inside and outside the city immediately became alert. Zhang Mai ordered Wen Yan to lead the light cavalry out of the city and Yan the enemy.

"Borgla Khan is here? So fast?" Nelshahi was still sitting in a sedan chair along the way, so he naturally walked slowly.

"Not that fast." An Shoujing said: "It's just that there is a warning ahead, and it will take two more days at the earliest."

After he determined this, he ordered the Modao Tomahawk Battalion to continue training.

Inside the city, when I heard that there was a red flag outside the city, Longxiang Camp was not only not afraid, but was excited.

"Satuk is coming." Zhang Mai wiped the horizontal knife and chuckled, "Yang Yi must be very disappointed."

As he said that, he put away the knife and returned to the sheath.

At this time, Zhang Mai was at the residence of Leyce in Julan City, which was also his residence in Julan City, and also the front-line command of the Tang army. Guo Fen was also one of the Thousand Civil Affairs Departments who came here to support. Her responsibility for coming here was naturally to take good care of Zhang Mai's life. These men who were caring for war would not take care of themselves. Without Guo Fen, the house would not be chaotic, but now it looked neat and warm under the tidying of the prospective hostess.

But at this moment, Zhang Mai was about to go out.

"I won't come back tonight," he said.

Guo Fen was stunned. She had prepared soup ingredients tonight and wiped Zhang Mai's new towel. She couldn't help feeling sad after hearing Zhang Mai's words.

"Do you want to sleep in the camp again?"

"Yes." Zhang Mai said: "You know, there are too many bachelors in the camp. If everyone is the same, that's nothing, but if some have family members and some have no family members, those who don't have family members will feel uncomfortable. Now that you are here, if I stay here, the people below will be afraid of having ideas."

Guo Fen thought for a while and said, "Our Tang army has too many men and too few women. It's not a big deal to always do this. I have to think of a solution. Today, when I walked on the street, I saw some new recruits who didn't recognize me. The look I looked at me... was scary."

Zhang Mai snorted and shouted, "Who dares!"

Guo Fen smiled and said, "They don't know who I am. You can try it yourself. It won't be long before long. But as their leader, you have to think of a way to do this. My sister-in-law told me that day that she wanted to match some unmarried soldiers, like Xiao Shitou and others, but there are too many bachelors in the army. Even if all the single women in our civil servants are married, it's not enough."

Zhang Mai had already walked to the door, but stopped for a long time and said, "This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. You can grab all the food, cattle and sheep and weapons, women..."

After leaving the door, Tian Hao took Shiba, Ma Xiaochun, Tang Polu, and Luo Wu accompanied him, stepping on the ground full of sandstorms. Zhang Mai inspected the entire Julan City, from the military camp, to the granary, and to the city wall. After a while, Li Bin followed him from the side. He was sitting in a wheelchair. When Ma Xiaochun saw it, he quickly went to help push.

At this moment, Julan City is his territory and the fortress he relies on to fight against Satuk. It will take two days or ten days and half a month later. Satuk will probably arrive. It is different from the strangeness of Zhaoshan and the sacrifice of life in the city of Dengshang City. This time it is a war between a dignified city and a dignified army. It can almost be said to be a war that Zhang Mai has never experienced before - it is a bit similar to the one in Xinxuye City, but he was not the main general at that time. Besides, the scale of this war is obviously not comparable to the battle of Xinxuye City. Whether the city defense fortifications is solid, whether the soldiers are full of morale, and whether the food reserves are sufficient will affect the outcome of this battle.

The two consecutive days of inspection made Zhang Mai discover that the three soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion in the city had already begun to show their own different styles. The soldiers of the Fourth Zhechong Mansion under Guo Shiyong all seemed very calm. Whether it was daily training or rotating guards, they seemed to be orderly and not very good at seeing that they were about to face the enemy. There was no excitement or fear. They looked like they regarded fighting as work. The soldiers of the Fifth Zhechong Mansion under An Shoujing were also relatively calm, but after talking to some soldiers, Zhang Mai found that many people were still looking forward to making contributions.

The only one in Zhechong Mansion is the largest in the interior. Many people have great emotions, including worries, joy, expectations, and irritability. Sometimes they seem very excited about the upcoming war, and sometimes they become anxious. Some new recruits who have not yet been on the battlefield in the new team after reorganization even show concerns.

"It seems that there are any generals, any soldiers." Zhang Mai laughed at himself, "When I talk about military management, I am still not as good as Lao Guo, An Shoujing."

"The special envoy should not belittle himself." Li Bin said: "There is a shortage of the ruler and an inch of the inch of the inch. There are many things that the special envoy can do, but it is not the only way for the two commanders, Guo and An. It is indeed not easy to govern the army as flat as a mirror, but the greatest power of the sea should be the ups and downs and surging huge waves, right?"

The smoke from the Northeast is finally approaching.

On this day, a group of Uighur cavalry appeared in the field of view of the soldiers of the North Watch Tower. The southeast of the city of Julan was surrounded by mountains and the northwest, and the northwest was surrounded by water. There were no city gates in the north, but only a few towering watch towers. The Uighur cavalry had about 500 people, and they were approaching all the way.

"You can't show weakness!" Guo Luo said: "You must go out of the city to delay the enemy! So that they know we are not easy to mess with."

On the battlefield, the morale of both offensive and defense often rises and falls. If the enemy is found to be strong, the soldiers on their own may also become suspicious.

Modao Camp immediately requested to fight, but Zhang Mai refused. It was obviously not a good choice to put heavy infantry into the first round. Besides, the power of heavy infantry is not as good as that of cavalry. If the war does not go smoothly after leaving the city, it will be troublesome to retreat. Guo Luo and Wen Yanhai also asked for battle. Zhang Mai said: "Xi Sheng guards the city gate, and the other three battalions follow me to fight." The third battalions each asked for the vanguard, and Zhang Mai said: "Give Longxiang Base Camp as the vanguard."

Guo Shiyong and An Shoujing heard that Zhang Mai was going to fight, so they rushed to the north watchtower to watch.

It is now autumn, and the wind and sand are drier. I don’t feel very hot during the day. After night, the coolness is very obvious. Some of the inland rivers that melt the snow-capped mountains have begun to show signs of severing flow.

Nine hundred Tang army members set out from the east gate and headed straight over. The five hundred Uighur cavalry did not retreat. After the Tang army drove out of the city, they saw about a thousand troops watching behind the five hundred people. The five hundred light cavalry saw the Tang army leaving the city to prolong the enemy, and they were already careful in their hearts. They also saw hundreds of people wearing the armor of the Bograhan Guards, and were all surprised.

"This group of robbers, they are actually wearing the armor of the Bograhan Guards!"

But many people immediately thought that since Talas was in the hands of this group of robbers, it would be natural that these armors were seized by many parties.

Looking at the middle general wearing a silver dragon scale mask, he remembered the legend he heard from the defeated soldiers and fleeing people, and became even more cautious in his heart.

Zhang Mai said: "I will rush to the 300 people, Aluo, you are behind the scenes to help you."

Zhang Mai said, lifting the red satin blood spear in one go, leading the Dragon Eagle Iron Armored Camp to rush over.

If he had nine hundred people rushed forward together, the five hundred Uighur cavalry might have retreated. At this time, only three hundred people rushed forward. The five hundred Uighur cavalry did not retreat but advanced. Guo Luo and Wen Yanhai were divided into two wings and remained behind. More than a thousand people behind the Uighur army were also still. The two sides seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and we should look at the battle between the three hundred Tang army against the five hundred Uighur army!

Both sides seem to be interested in seeing with their own eyes how powerful the other party is on the front battlefield.

"Kill!"

This is a frontal impact, not a surprise attack, but a preparedness!

Moreover, the opponent's troops were nearly twice as many as the Tang army!

But what's there to be afraid of? I've fought like Deng Shangcheng, and I'm still afraid of these 500 light cavalry?

He rushed in without fear, but the battle situation did not show the tragic tragedy of Zhang stepping out of the wall in the city on the lamp. Why? Because the Tang army showed overwhelming power as soon as it took the lead.

The Uighur Light Cavalry coming from the opposite side is not a good player in the battle, and the armor and equipment are not as good as the Longxiang Base Camp. As for the strictness of the organization, the Tang army is no longer inferior to the other party. In particular, the Longxiang Base Camp has another biggest advantage, that is, the Longxiang Base Camp is a group of life-threatening guys!

Wherever Zhang Mai was there, Shiba and others immediately became deadly men! Especially after experiencing the baptism of the Lantern City, these people all had the experience of crawling around at the gate of hell.

The Tang army's strengths were obviously better than the other party, and the Tang army's weaknesses would not be a drag. In comparison, Longxiang Base Camp immediately had the upper hand. Even if it had a numerical advantage, it could not offset this gap.

Shi Ba took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation roaring and inserted it in one go. The entire battalion was divided into three teams, interspersing from three angles left, middle and right at the same time. The general of this light cavalry did not expect that the other party was so powerful. He was secretly shouting, "It's not good," and it had been cut into three pieces by Longxiang Base Camp.

"kill!"

The short shouts of killing on the battlefield are already Tang Yan!

During this time, Shi Ba no longer had the chance to show his unique skill of throwing ropes and capturing the enemy. Everyone was close at hand, even passing by, waiting for him to chop! Later, he even got up again, relying on his strength to surpass ordinary people. He actually grabbed a long hair that was poked at him and pulled it. The other party refused to let go, but Shi Ba was lifted up from the saddle by him.

"Help! Help!" The poor Uighur cavalry regretted not falling, but before he could call the third sentence, Shi Ba suddenly let go. The Uighur soldier also fell heavily, and he fell half to death first, and then he was stepped into meat paste by horse's hooves!

Tang Polu, who had joined the Tang army since Zhaoshan, waved a heavy and thick machete in his hand, and one knife was one. His thick flesh made him stand firm when he resisted the cannon. At this time, armor protected the key points and made him feel more confident: even if he was stabbed in the chest by the enemy, after the armor removed the first impact of the weapon, his muscles could still clamp the weapon - whether it was really that unknown, but Tang Polu thought so, which made him think that he didn't want to get hit by an arrow and knife at all. Once a person forgot his life, the destructive power caused by a person is incomprehensible.

But the more he fears his life, the less he is injured.

Zhang Mai didn't know how many people he killed in this battle, but he only knew that every time he killed one person, he would put his head master in one pocket on the horse's buttocks. After the six heads were accumulated on the left and right sides of the horse's buttocks, the Uighur soldiers felt weak when they saw him. This cruelty and violence were enough to make people brave even on the battlefield!

Luo Wu, who had only joined the Tang army for less than a month, may not be used to the Tang army's organization, but this did not affect his courage. Zhang Mai has been really good to him for more than half a month, but he has nothing to repay Zhang Mai except that stuttering Tang Yan. Perhaps now is the time to repay - he needs to show his loyalty! Zhang Mai transferred him to the Guard, which won him countless envious eyes, but he also vaguely heard that the reason why Special Envoy Zhang transferred him to the Guard was to teach every officer a newcomer to Tang Yan to set an example. If he learns Tang Yan well without any achievements, he will probably be transferred from this promising Guard soon. Therefore, to stay in the Guard, he must establish credit, and his weapon is just a big iron rod!

An eight-foot-long iron rod is held as thick as a wrist, and the head is as big as a human head. It is all made of pig iron. The hammer is not like a hammer, and the rod is not like a rod. It is obviously a weapon that has failed to be made, or it is not a weapon at all. It is just that the craftsman accidentally threw a furnace of scrap iron into the furnace, and ended up making such a monster. But it is this monster, but the weight is terrible. Ordinary people are afraid that it will be a problem to take it. At this time, Luo Wu waved: when he sees a weapon, he will smash it, and if he is hit, he will have to knock it away; when he sees a human head, it will naturally burst into pieces; if he can't hit the head, then smash the horse's head - let alone the horse of this light cavalry does not have iron armor, even if it is installed, it will not withstand such a moment.

Luo Wu did not cut his head, but the people and horses who died under his stick were definitely not under the Tang Polu.

Zhang Mai led such a group of fierce and vicious subordinates. Such a group of people put on armor and stepped on war horses. After being organized with the Tang Dynasty's military system, they showed their barbaric and even cruel tactics in a tight formation!

Tang Kou, yes, this is Tang Kou! A disciplined barbarian!

Less than a meal, the confrontation has turned into a massacre. This battle that did not affect the entire battle situation, but affected the judgment of the main generals of both sides. After a stick of incense, the winner was decided.

"Okay!" Guo Shiyong praised the wall and said joyfully: "Good hit!"

Nair Shahi and his son, who were invited to watch the battle at the top of the city, looked at Zhang Mai who fought against the Uighurs in this battle, but at the same time they defeated the two merchants of the old and young!

"Awesome!" Nair Shahi was amazed, and Abul simply shouted out: "Awesome, awesome!"

Three hundred vs. Five hundred, but there is an overwhelming advantage and an overwhelming victory!
Chapter completed!
