The battlefield of the Tang Dynasty was an era when cavalry became kings.

Whether it is the natives of the Tang Dynasty or the neighboring countries, they believe that cavalry can decide the outcome of a war.

However, in comparison, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty had higher combat power than the neighboring countries. The same number of cavalry was in battle, and the winning rate of the Tang Dynasty's cavalry was much higher than that of the cavalry of the neighboring countries.

This involves many factors, and fundamentally, it is the result of a competition of national strength.

Cultivating a cavalry requires sufficient logistical support, and the food and grass must be managed enough. The soldiers will have strength after eating enough. The frequency of training and equipment comparison. The Tang Dynasty cavalry consists of light cavalry, bow cavalry, heavy cavalry, etc. The cavalry are all wearing armor, and the weapons include long halberds, spears, bows and arrows.

A cavalry equipped with war horses, long halberds, and armor. It fills his stomach and goes to the battlefield to fight against the enemy desperately. But it is not so ordinary in the eyes of foreign enemies. It is easy to equip one person. Thousands of the same equipment, the same training level, and the same filling of the stomach is not easy for those nomadic peoples who are still fighting against the harsh natural climate on the grassland.

Not to mention anything else, to build an army of 10,000 cavalry and equip them with a unified armor, I don’t know how many kilograms of iron are needed or how many blacksmiths need to temper and beat them day and night. This is a test of a country’s original industry and national strength. Whether the national strength is strong can be better and worse as soon as it appears on the battlefield.

At this moment, the Anxi cavalry and the Uighur cavalry are in battle, and you can see the level at a glance.

The soldiers of the Anxi Army were wearing armor, whether they were cavalry or sharpshooting camps. The weapons they held were divided into different types of troops. The Uighur cavalry were wearing leather armor made of cowhide and nitrate, and the weapons were also varied. There were all kinds of messy weapons in a team. The only thing that was desirable was their bravery when charging forward.

However, no matter how hard you are, it will be futile within the range of the sharpshooter camp.

After the soldiers of the first row of the sharpshooter camp fired their guns at the same time, two hundred steps away, the charge of the Uighur cavalry fell down like a wheat wave blown by the strong wind. After being caught, they were stepped on into meat paste by the robes behind them in the blink of an eye.

Before they could come back to their senses, the second round of volleyball pulled the trigger again, and the charge of the Uighur cavalry fell down again.

Row after row, never interrupted.

After paying the life price of more than 2,000 cavalrymen, the Uighur generals gradually realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered a change of tactics and to encircle them on both sides.

In the Anxi Army, seeing that the Uighur Army suddenly changed its tactics, Chang Zhong was already prepared and ordered the cavalry on the left and right wings to attack and meet the enemy, while the sharpshooter camp still advanced step by step according to their own rhythm.

Soon, the left and right wings collided with each other and launched a charge without giving in to each other.

The Tang cavalry was almost invincible in the world. Regardless of the number of people, equipment, or training, they were far superior to the Uighur army. There were almost no troops in this world that could compete with the Tang cavalry. The Tang Dynasty was able to create a prosperous era, which also had a great relationship with the invincibility of military cavalry.

When the left and right armies met, the Anxi army was wearing iron armor. With one knife, they only left a seal on the armor. The Uighur cavalry became much more tragic. The leather armor they wore almost had only one psychological comfort effect. If they stabbed them with one knife, they would die or die.

In front of the Anxi Army, Sun Jiushi waved the order flag in his hand more frequently. He held the order flag in one hand and a flintlock rifle in the other hand, and shouted: "Sharp Shooting Camp continues to advance, hurry up! Go two more miles, defeat their central army, and kill the Uighur prince to seek credit from the prince!"

The soldiers of the Shinigami camp let out an excited roar, and their pace was getting faster and faster.

While the left and right wings were fighting fiercely, the sharpshooter camp in the middle was already advancing step by step. The 10,000 cavalry troops under Ma Lin from behind the sharpshooter camp followed step by step and supported at any time. The team was getting closer and closer to the Uighur Central Army formation.

In the Uighur Central Army formation, Prince Ye Hu watched the fierce fighting between the soldiers on the battlefield with cold eyes, his eyelids twitched, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Uighur Army is not the opponent of the Anxi Army. If this war continues, the 50,000 Uighur Army is likely to be wiped out. The Uighur Khanate will damage its vitality. How can the Khanate next to it let go of the Uighur?

"Blow the trumpet, yell the gold, and withdraw the troops!" The Uighur prince gave a cold order.

The leader of the personal guard next to him looked at him in surprise, but turned around silently and sent the order.

When the Uighur army, which was fighting fiercely, heard the order to withdraw the troops, they immediately retreated like a tide.

A moment ago, there was a battlefield where ten thousand people fought fiercely, and now only corpses were all over the ground and wounded soldiers on both sides who were falling to the ground and moaning moaning.

After the withdrawal of the troops, the Uighur army shrank its camp, but it still stopped north of Yinshan and refused to leave.

The battle was counted. In just half an hour of battle, the Uighur army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, especially the soldiers killed by the sharpshooter camp in the central front formation.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Prince Ye Hu gritted his teeth and heard the princess. However, thinking about the terrifying combat power of the Anxi Army on the battlefield just now and the army holding strange weapons in the front row, Prince Ye Hu felt frightened from the bottom of his heart.

"It's true that the reputation is true... I'll learn about it today." Prince Ye Hu murmured.

The subordinate general asked, "Prince, will you fight again tomorrow?"

Prince Ye Hu's face hesitation flashed. Of course he wanted to fight. If he defeated the Anxi army this way, it would be equivalent to completing the entrustedness of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, consuming the vitality of the Anxi army, and slowing down the pressure of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The Uighurs were more confident to negotiate terms with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, it would be too much to plunder Luoyang City for ten days?

The interests are touching. Even though the Anxi Army is so powerful, Prince Ye still can't bear to leave.

However, the Uighur army could not defeat the Anxi army. The two armies had just fought one battle, and the sword had proved who the truth was on.

He was reluctant to leave and could not beat him, so Prince Ye Hu died of embarrassment.

"Wait a little longer, let me weigh, let me weigh..." Prince Ye Hu rubbed his forehead in pain and said.

…………

Anxi Army Camp.

Today's battle does not seem difficult for the Anxi Army. Like the previous wars, it basically means advancing, advancing, and then the enemy collapses and flees.

The camp was full of joy, and the joy of victory was filled with the faces of every soldier. From time to time, excited growls came from the camp, mixed with low sobs at a certain roar of death.

After every war, the camp was filled with such an atmosphere, with a bit of grief in joy.

In the tent, the generals gathered together. Gu Qing looked at them with a smile and said, "I did a good job today. This war shooting camp is the first to be a master. Especially Sun Jiushi, he is becoming more and more general. He finally knows that he is standing at the position of the general who commands the battle, not the lone hero who goes deep into the enemy's back. It's good. Stop and give you a roasted lamb leg, which I roasted with my own hands."

Sun Jiushi was overjoyed and laughed: "Thank you, Mr. Duke. The lamb legs roasted by his own hands are more fragrant than the 10,000 yuan of money rewarded by the court. Haha, I am not polite. I am ashamed of it, I am ashamed of it, haha!"

After saying that, Sun Jiushi looked around the generals proudly, looking down on the heroes, and was extremely reluctant to draw.

He was sucking as soon as he said that, and the Anxi army never dragged on the mud.

Chang Zhong stepped forward with a sharp snap, slapped Sun Jiushi into the dust.

"The dogs are still shaking. If I hadn't led the army to press the left and right wings, how could you be so proud?" Chang Zhong glared at him fiercely, then turned to look at Gu Qing and said, "Master, I am not convinced this time. Why can anyone with the surname Sun get the first merit? The cavalry on the left and right wings fight with the Uighur army the most difficult. The magic shooter only fired a few shots from a distance, and Mao was not injured. How could he get the first merit?"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "If you don't agree, you're good."

After a pause, Gu Qing picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Chang Zhong, saying, "I have always been fair in dealing with things. Look, this is the list of the battle losses and results of civil servants from the rear army after cleaning the battlefield. Sun Jiushi's sharpshooting camp faced the enemy head-on, killing more than 6,000 enemies. The results are about twice that of the left and right wings. Well, from the results of the battle, I will give Sun Jiushi the first merit, right?"

Chang Zhong was stunned for a moment, looked carefully at the list in his hand, then snorted angrily, and said in a muffled voice: "No problem, it's the general that is so cautious. The magic shooting camp has achieved great results. Remember that their first achievements are convinced."

Then Chang Zhong looked at Sun Jiushi again and said evilly: "I'll accept it, but the miscellaneous people with the surname Sun are too ungrateful. I'll accept the magic shoot, but I don't accept the miscellaneous people with the surname Sun. I still have to do it."

Gu Qing said lightly: "Oh, I don't care about this. Private grudges are resolved privately. The army is a place to prove its strength with fists. Sun Jiushi. If you don't want to be beaten every day in the future, it's best to practice your body more..."

Looking at Sun Jiushi who looked mournful, Gu Qing smiled again: "Of course, if you are thick-skinned enough, every time you get beaten up, I will accept it. Whoever beats you will be punished depends on how you choose."

Sun Jiushi slapped his thighs in grief and squatted to the ground, crying: "I will not survive!"

The generals burst into laughter, and Ma Lin cheered: "Old Sun, it's okay. If you complain, just complain. If you complain a few more times, General Chang will probably disdain to beat you."

Chang Zhong sneered: "Look at your unpromising look, I don't want to beat you now. Wear new shoes and don't step on smelly dog ​​shit."

After laughing and making fun, Chang Zhong regained his seriousness and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Master, the Uighur army retreated today and retreated ten miles to set up camp. It seems that they are still unwilling to accept it. I am afraid there will be a battle tomorrow."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "If you want to fight, fight. Tomorrow we will leave all 50,000 Uighur troops at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, don't leave."

After staring at the sand table for a long time, Gu Qing suddenly said, "I have a small thing here, which cannot be considered a credit, but I have a long face. Who would have done it for me?"

The generals were stunned, then stood up together and said in unison: "I wish to go!"

Gu Qing looked around and finally stared at Ma Lin, and smiled and said, "Ma Lin is brave and resourceful. After entering our Anxi Army, he performed well. This time I will give you a long face."

Ma Lin was overjoyed and bowed and said, "I will thank you for your kindness."

Gu Qing looked around the generals and said with a stern expression: "Tomorrow morning, the whole army will have a full meal and continue to line up in the north of Yinshan Mountain. If the Uighur army dares to fight, they will completely defeat them."

All the generals shouted.

…………

The next morning, just as it was dawn, the soldiers of the Anxi Army had already eaten their meals. Under the command of the generals, they went out in batches and lined up again on yesterday's battlefield.

Half an hour later, the Uighur army also set out camps and set up a formation five miles away from the Anxi Army.

The sky was gloomy and the battle clouds were covered with battles.

The morale of the Uighur army today is much worse than yesterday. When they fought with the Anxi army yesterday, most of the Uighur army soldiers have noticed the terrifying combat power of the Anxi army. If the two sides start war again today, they really don’t know whether they can survive, and their morale will naturally not be raised.

After a long time, the war drums sounded inside the Anxi Army, and the rumbling drum sound spread across the field. Before the Anxi Army soldiers had started, a little restlessness appeared in the Uighur army formation.

At this time, Anxi Army rode a horse out of a single rider, and this person was Ma Lin.

Ma Lin was wearing armor, holding a long halberd in one hand, but holding a handsome flag with the other hand. The dragon and phoenix danced in the handsome flag were embroidered with a few big words, "I ordered the prince Shaobao Guanglu Dafu, the governor of the Xijiegong of Shu Kingdom, to order the prince of the Shu Kingdom to protect the Guanglu Dafu, Gu."

The black background and red letters are particularly eye-catching on the desolate plains.

The handsome flag was held in Ma Lin's hand, and the flag fluttered in the wind. Ma Lin rode on the horse, pursing his lips tightly. Behind him were tens of thousands of invincible brothers in robe, and in front of him were tens of thousands of enemies staring at him.

Ma Lin rode alone, galloping between the two armies, getting closer and closer to the front of the Uighur army.

The soldiers and horses on both sides held their breath and looked at a tiny figure on the battlefield in confusion and galloped towards the opposite side without fear. No one knew what he was going to do, but the soldiers on both sides were secretly admiring his courage.

In front of the two armies, a war was about to begin. One man and one horse held a flag and rushed towards the enemy formation fearlessly. This kind of courage is enough to be admired.

The rumbling drums stopped unknowingly, and the soldiers of the two armies watched Ma Lin raise the flag and speed alone. At this time, no one took action or made any noise.

In the Uighur army formation, Prince Ye Hu stared coldly at Ma Lin who was getting closer and closer, and the handsome flag in his hand that was swaying in the wind, with cold and puzzled eyes.

As the commander of the first army, Prince Ye Hu knew very well that the two armies were ready to go. At such a critical time, any movement in front of the two armies could trigger a war, but the other party sent one man and one horse to speed towards this side. What exactly was Gu Qing going to do?

What Gu Qing was going to do soon had an answer.

When Ma Lin was still one mile away from the Uighur army formation, he suddenly stopped and rode his horse and watched the Uighur army formation quietly. Then he held his halberd down. The sharp halberd tip fell to the ground. Finally, he suddenly urged the horse to move, and the halberd tip drew a long line on the ground.

The line was about one mile long and was just across the Uighur army. Then Ma Lin raised the commander's flag in his hand and slapped the commander's flag to the ground. The flagpole was deeply inserted into the soil, and it happened to be inserted on the line.

The handsome flag stood in front of the formation, still fluttering in the wind, and the big word "Gu" on the flag also swung with the wind.

After doing all this, Ma Lin rode on the horse and looked down on the Uighur army. After a while, his breath suddenly sank into the Dantian, and his tongue roared like spring thunder: "According to the military order of the Duke of Gu of the Tang Dynasty, with this flag as the boundary, outside the Tang Dynasty, barbarians from all directions dare to cross the border and call their soldiers, our Anxi army will destroy their descendants and kill their races!"

"Where is this flag, it is where you stop. One step beyond this flag will lead to an irreconcilable enemy of the Anxi Army!"

After saying that, Ma Lin laughed wildly at the sky, then turned his horse's head and galloped towards the Anxi Army.
