Chapter 76

At this time, Li Neng had already taken his men and horses up the mountain from the trail at the foot of the mountain, trying to detour to the enemy's back and give them a thousand-year-old kill when the enemy was fighting with the Tang army.

However, Li Qing was always cautious in marching. In addition, Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun, a tricky and fierce general, had less than 5,000 cavalry all the way up the mountain, basically carrying people with grass and horses, and they didn't even hit a torch, and didn't make a sound.

The troops were halfway through the journey. Li Qing looked down from the hillside with the moonlight. As expected, he was as he had previously judged. The rebels, who had the advantage of the geographical advantage and were waiting for their work, had the upper hand as soon as they started the war. Under the condescending rush, the Tang army could only fight and retreat, and maintain their formation without any disorder.

It is absolutely impossible to take down Shaanxi County with such an attack, so Li Yan's cavalry is more important, and Li Yan understands this in his heart.

"Telection, march quickly. The Deputy Marshal obviously does not want this battle to be delayed for a long time. It will be very unfavorable to our army. Regardless of victory or defeat, it will be tonight!"

Li Yan was also a little anxious at this time. The existence of his cavalry had to be behind the enemy before the enemy had gained a complete advantage. If it was too late, the effect would be bad. After all, he was only less than 5,000 troops.

However, the army's speed had just risen a little. Nan Jiyun, who was in charge of opening the road in front of him, suddenly stopped the entire team's march, and then hurriedly approached Li Qing.

"Prince, the scout's reward is that in a forest less than a mile ahead of us, thousands of enemy troops were ambushed. Fortunately, they were concentrating on the battle at this time, so they did not find us waiting!"

When Li Qing heard this, he looked down the mountain and understood that Yan Zhuang had also set a backup plan on the hillside. Looking down here, the arrangement of the troops on both sides was basically very clear.

Arrange a team of people in this woods. At critical moments, you can not only kill and catch the enemy off guard, but also report the changes in the enemy in a timely manner. It is indeed a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Li Yi knew that if something outside the plan happened, he would have to make corresponding changes.

"Are those men and horses infantry or cavalry?"

"All of them are infantrymen, and they are all in the mountains and forests!"

Li Qing thought for a moment, then smiled slightly, and said to the two of them: "This team of men can help us, let's do this!"

After a moment, the three of them agreed on the next plan. Nan Jiyun quietly rode his horse to the team and issued Li Qing's general order to almost every soldier.

Zhang Tongru was still concentrating on observing the battle situation at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that his side had gained a considerable advantage, Zhang Tongru had already begun to think about when it would be better for him to rush down with his troops.

But just as he was nervously judging the situation, suddenly, a crisp sound of gong came from outside the forest behind him.

Just then, Zhang Tongru was so scared that he shivered all over. He turned his head and was about to ask which one was so unopening that he made such a movement from behind. What caught his eyes was the clear torches and the screams of his soldiers.

"Enemy attack! Fast to meet the enemy!"

Zhang Tongru didn't have time to think too much at this time, and he thought that the Tang army also sent an ambush, and the two of them met.

But when Zhang Tongru also asked his soldiers to ignite torches and turned around to kill the enemy, the scene that caught his eyes made him shudder, and many of his soldiers and horses had already stood there on the spot.

"Uighur cavalry!? It's Uighur cavalry coming!"

I saw that a team of people outside the forest was no less than their cavalry, but what was terrible was not a team of cavalry, but their clothes, weapons, and arrows shot out. These were clearly the standard configurations of Uighur cavalry.

An Lushan has been moving in the north of the Tang Dynasty, while the Uighurs are moving in the north outside the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that the two sides are neighbors. Of course, the soldiers from Fanyang know what the Uighur cavalry are.

The bow and arrow behind the back, the hat on the head, and the skillful cutting melons and vegetables when chopping their infantrymen.

What made the rebels even more frightened were the bows and arrows shot by the cavalry, which were all unique to the Uighur cavalry. That was the biggest feature of the Uighur cavalry. There would be no second cavalry in the world like this.

Although it was not very clear to see under the night, a terrible idea had already appeared in Zhang Tongru's heart.

"The Tang army has indeed received help from the Uighur cavalry in secret. Hurry! Go back to the city and tell the Prime Minister about this matter. Once the Uighur cavalry arrives on the battlefield, there is no way our army can resist!"

Zhang Tongru made a quick decision and did not have the courage to fight with the enemy in front of him at all. He ran down the hillside directly.

His original intention was to return to the city and inform Yan Zhuang of this matter immediately, but at this moment of crisis he forgot one thing: he was carrying infantrymen, but behind him were cavalrymen.

So when they ran down the mountain, it was obviously easier for the cavalry behind them to kill the soldiers under his command.

Yes, of course, the one who killed them was Li Qing's cavalry, and what Li Qing asked Nan Jiyun and Zhang Xun to prepare with their men was also the armor and weapons of the Uighur cavalry.

Although Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun did not find anything exactly the same as those of the Uighur cavalry in a short period of time, it was completely enough.

On this black hillside, the Uighur cavalry entered the eyes of the rebel soldiers.

Before, the Tang Dynasty borrowed troops from the Uighurs, but after somehow, the Uighur cavalry did not go to the Tang Dynasty. An Qingxu knew about this, so he was so relaxed in the attack on the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, judging from the previous battle in Chang'an City, it was indeed that there were no Uighur cavalry in the Tang army that the rebels were very afraid of, which made them feel relieved.

But now, in this most critical battle in Luoyang, the Uighur cavalry appeared at a critical position, which was something the rebels never expected.

When Zhang Tongru and the others ran down, Li Yan and his men covered them and killed them again. In a short time, they reached the foot of the mountain and reached the rear of the enemy.

Although there is a risk of being surrounded by the enemy, Li Yan's army was originally doing this, and he had already given instructions. After arriving at the enemy's battle formation, the soldiers just formed a formation and fought.
