Chapter 148: The Dead Line of Patrol River
Chapter 148: The Death Line of the River Patrol
It was midnight, and before midnight arrived, Yang Xin rushed to the river bank! Hundreds of cavalry followed him.
The remaining more than a thousand people did not drown - although most of these more than a thousand people were landslides, they were strong soldiers after all. At this time, the river became much shallower and slowed down a lot. Some of the reasons why they failed to get ashore were because the terrain of the river was complex, and the horses and horses fell into mud or caves. Some were hit by the river and failed to get ashore as soon as possible.
Of course, Yang Xin could not wait for everyone to get ashore, and the enemy's cavalry were already gathering! He raised his silver spear and shouted: "Let's light up the torch! Blast with me!"
Just now, I slandered the crossing of the river for the surprise attack. Now that I have arrived ashore, more than 300 people have lit up the torches!
The night wind is very cool - although it is summer and it is very hot during the day, it still gets cold quickly at night. This is a unique weather feature in the inland. The inner layer of the torch is made of oil paste, and the surface layer is coated with gunpowder, and flames are sprayed out with a bang!
Yang Xin straightened his spear and shouted loudly!
His mount, the snow scarf, was standing and neighing, and then shot out like an arrow! Hundreds of purebred sweat-blooded BMWs behind him, and the second-generation mixed-blood BMW responded in unison after hearing this and followed from behind!
Eight hundred cavalry swept through! Yang Xin, the archers who were ambushing the shore, didn't even look at them, and stomped over the horse, followed the silver spear and killed a black cavalry!
Although it was in the dark, after seeing Yang Xin's gunshot technique that seemed to come from hell, all the Tianfang cavalry were stunned! The 6-inch silver spear was not as fierce as the Mo Dao, but it was more skillful than the Mo Dao. After cooperating with the Sweat-Blood BMW, it was even more agile!
Eight hundred riders rushed by, sweeping across the river bank like a gust of wind! All the archers in ambushed everywhere were killed and injured!
The Tianfang River Patrol cavalry had gathered thousands of people to come here, but no one expected that the Tang army could cross the river so quickly, so it came in a hurry, and many places seemed to be weak in layout, but about 2,000 people gathered inside and outside, preparing to drive here.
If the Tang army crossed the river was a wise general, he would definitely avoid Jianrui and attack Kongxu at this time, but Yang Xin led his troops to rush towards the most crowded place!
When I was in Beiting, although the place was unfamiliar, the human face looked like the Central Plains. In this era, the people in the northern desert and the Uighur race were not very different from the Central Plains, but when we arrived here, the faces of the Central Asians were very obvious! The soldiers from the Central Plains all had a sense of strangeness and uneasiness of breaking into the foreign land.
After entering the Hezhong area, there are strange natural landscapes everywhere. The mountains are strange mountains and the water is strange water. Even the enemy's weapons seem a bit strange!
The two thousand enemy troops were mixed with hundreds of black knights, and these people were the backbone of the entire river patrol defense line! And Yang Xin rushed towards them!
"Break the formation and break the strength!" As long as the strong loses, the others will be unstoppable!
This is Yang Xin’s point of view!
Among the enemy's formation, there were several people wearing slightly different clothes, including crowns and hats and shoulder pads. They tried to remain calm in the face of Yang Xin's impact while commanding the soldiers to fight!
"It's him!"
Yang Xin squeezed his legs and swept over like a whirlwind. Along the way, he just stabbed a bloody road, and rushed to the front, and shouted suddenly: "Yang Xin of the Tang Dynasty is here! Tianfang thief, die!"
If there are many people in the Uighurs and Mobei who know Tang Yan, the Hezhong area will hear Tang Yan, unless they are from the intellectual class, there will be very few soldiers. In fact, no one in the enemy can understand what he said, but when he suddenly becomes close, everyone is shocked!
Yang Xin's silver spear flew past, and with the force of the horse's impact, he stabbed into the throat of a black cavalry!
After the rotten pear silver spear was stained with snowflakes, the snow light turned into bloody flowers! The gunshot technique was so good that it was invincible in front of it!
Eight hundred people followed closely, rushing left and right, and soon the two thousand people became festered!
Once these two thousand people collapsed, there was no troops that could stop Yang Xin for more than ten miles away!
Yang Xin laughed loudly, drove his horse and galloped, no longer using a gun, but just leaned on the horse's hooves to trample on the Tianfang River and made the soldiers cried and shouted to their parents.
The cavalry behind them used torches to ignite all the ignitions on the river bank. Widths of smoke and fire made the south bank of the west bank of the Yaosha River bright, but there were fireworks.
On the north bank of the east bank of Yaosha River, Guo Luo climbed up to the watchtower by the river, took the Qianlijing to watch the battle with Zhang Mai, and praised while watching, "Who is the Gun King who is terrifying in Beiting?"
Zhang Mai was very proud and said, "Yes! That's Yang Xin!"
Guo Luo praised: "Good marksmanship! Great momentum! The word "Guan King" is well-known! Even Yang Yi and I don't have such marksmanship! Zhongyuan Guo is truly talented! There are so many hero seeds, I really don't know why they were suppressed and beaten by the Khitan!"
While he was watching the battle with Zhang Mai, a general had already urged him to cross the river.
Guo Wei's more than 20,000 people did not take any action, and his section of the river was also closely watched. Instead, other sections of the river took advantage of the bombardment on the other side to cross Yaosha River!
The Tang army had already prepared the rafts. At this time, thousands of people rode their horses through the shallow water to reinforce Yang Xin, and then thousands of people crossed the river with rafts. When the number of Tang troops on the other side of the Yaosha River reached 5,000, Guo Luo knew that there was no suspense about crossing the river!
The infantry and civilians connected the rafts and bamboo rafts and connected them with giant cables as thick as arms and wrists to form a floating bridge! After the three floating bridges were built, the subsequent cavalry stepped over!
Yang Xin even attacked everywhere, snatching the military achievements and swearing to show his might in front of the veterans in Lingxi!
Ista's soldiers were not as strong as the Tang army, so they rely on the Yaosha River. Satuk had no intention of relying on the Yaosha River to block Zhang Mai's steps, but Ista just wanted Ista to delay as much as possible.
At this time, seeing that the river defense had been broken, Ista knew that it was difficult to defend it anymore, so he made a quick decision and ordered a retreat!
However, the collapse of the river defense came so quickly and suddenly, but he was unwilling to accept it!
Seeing that the pear-like silver spear was still rushing around, Ista's heart moved and mobilized elite archers to arrange it quietly. He followed the light cavalry general Yang Xin. Yang Xin was afraid of him and was approaching. He was about to get into the trap. Ista was happy and thought that before leaving, he would kill at least one Tang army general to go back and make contributions. Unexpectedly, he had an arrow breaking through the air! Fortunately, he was extremely agile and flashed in danger, but the feather arrow had already passed by!
Following the whistling and continuous arrows, two archers ambushing in the dark were shot and the ambush circle was exposed!
Yang Xin was shocked and quickly pulled his horse and looked at the place where the bow and arrow came. He saw Xu Congshi's whole body was wet, carrying seven or eight sharpshooters, and smiled at him: "King Yang Gun, don't just bring silver guns, but don't have eyes!"
This is a ridicule in the battle. Yang Xin must be furious if someone else was someone else. He smiled at Xu Congshi: "Brothers who fight tigers, father and son soldiers to fight! What are I afraid of with you watching me? I was worried that you would drown in the ditch just now!"
The two laughed. Ista over there was no way to do anything, and he hurriedly led his troops to retreat.
This time, Satuk's arrangement was quite rigorous, and Ista's command was determined, so what surprised Zhang Mai was that the Tianfang Cult cavalry on the other side did not collapse because of this.
Yang Xin was victorious and wanted to follow him, but Guo Luo did not allow it, so he still fought steadily according to the original plan, while conquering the strongholds along the way while gathering the tribes that surrendered. The army would not exceed thirty miles a day.
Yang Xin was very dissatisfied and said to Xu Congshi: "This Governor Guo is too steady! I heard that Satuk is preparing for his troops in Kangju City, so he should advance with surprise troops at this time! Are you still waiting for them to gather at the city? I heard that Kangju is a big city, a strong city! The generals use troops and the worst attacks to attack the city. We can still gain the upper hand when we attack the city. Once we attack the city, we may not be able to defeat the opponent even if we use ten times of our combat power!" He didn't say anything, that is, the Tang army in Tiance has not yet won the battle to win the battle head-on siege!
He immediately asked Guo Luo for battle, but he still asked for a surprise weapon, but Guo Luo had a dark face and had no words to agree with him.
Yang Xin was not allowed to be appointed and was depressed. He came back and said to Xu Congshi: "This time Governor Guo mistakenly beat us Brother Guo. Even the marshal came to express his condolences after crossing the river, but he didn't apologize afterwards! It's really not easy to get along with! Now he deliberately slowed down his pace of advancement. I think he saw that our Dongtu Sect was in a strong position and deliberately suppressed us, for fear that we would steal the majesty of the Lingxi Sect!"
However, after the Tang army crossed the river, the situation once again tilted towards the Tiance Army. The Hezhong area was once again slight shocked, and many old Persian tribes came to visit the Hezhong area. Zhang Mai, the bigger tribe, met him personally, and Guo Luo, the smaller ones. Everyone in the Western Regions knew that Guo Luo was the deputy commander and exercised power on behalf of Zhang Mai, so when they saw him, they would huddle at his feet and tremble and dare not say much. However, Guo Luo would comfort him very much, but he was in control of power, so he naturally did not be angry and powerful!
The Tang army beating drums all the way westward, with an increasing influence. After another half a month, they arrived at the upper reaches of Nami River - the Nami River is a tributary of the Wuhu River, but the water flows abundantly and everywhere they go, they are fertile land. Due to the mountains and rivers, this territorial climate is suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry, and there are roads paved since the Persian Empire. Therefore, the resources are abundant and commerce is developed. More than 60% of the population of the Saman Dynasty gathered in the Nami River Basin. The three largest cities in the country, including the capital Bukhara and the largest city of Samarkand (Kangju), are also distributed along the Nami River.
After the Tang army arrived at Nami River, they could reach Samarkand as long as they drove along the river downstream.
When Zhang Mai arrived at Nami River, not only did the old Persian tribes in the river middle come to visit, but also had leaders in the northern part of India.
As the Tang army approached closer, the countries in the Tianfang became more and more wary of Zhang Mai!
On that day, Guo Luo was about to set off the camp when he suddenly received a letter from the enemy. In the past, Guo Luo would make a decision on his own, but this time he was slightly surprised and quickly turned to Zhang Mai, saying that an envoy from the West had arrived.
Zhang Mai smiled and said, "If you can ask you to come to me, you must not be a little man. It's Satuk. Should he come to ask for peace or to give a letter of war?"
"It's not Satuk." Guo Luo's answer surprised Zhang Mai: "It's an envoy from Baghdad."
"Baghdad?"
