"Yes, the king, the Ministry of Justice is to draw out all the cavalry in the three major camps, and there will be 7,500 people, with 500 people as a team. These are fifteen teams, and ten small battalions will be used to attack the Alan people..."

"Attack the Alan people first, why?"

"The king, the Alan people are herders, and what our country lacks the most is herders. Losing them is nothing to our country, but the Goths, Bavarians, Saxons, and Dacians are mostly farmers, and they are also the ones that our country lacks the most, and it is best to force them to surrender."

"So, ten small battalions surrounded the Alan people, all light cavalry, and the other five small battalions were heavy cavalry, just watch the Goths, and then our infantry took the initiative to attack the Goths, and with the Modao, the heavy infantry was in front, and one charge could defeat it."

"At this time, if the Goth heavy cavalry came to support us, our heavy cavalry would come forward to fight. As for the remaining troops, they were all infantry, and even if they were disintegrated, they would not run far. Our cavalry could rush up to intercept them. Then, when Yu Houjun came forward, he was moved by his emotions and reason, he would probably surrender soon."

"After annihilated the Alan cavalry, the Goths' heavy cavalry and infantry will probably surrender soon. After that, as long as we destroy the Curtis family, the rest of us will be spared and let them continue to serve as farmers, and the craftsmen will be fine."

Sun Xiurong looked at everyone and smiled and said, "I think it's a bad idea. The Taurus Peninsula is not large in area. There is an isthmus to the north and is surrounded by sea. Even if you escape from a few places where the isthmus can pass through, it is also the territory of Mazar people. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship between Mazar people and our country."

Su Xijie, Cao Lingzhong, Gao Ying, and Wei Yingwu all looked at him, "King, what do you mean..."

Sun Xiurong regained his cold expression, "Are we too proud? There are also 40,000 to 50,000 troops, which are still several times that of our country. How can we win easily? Wei Yingwu said it well, since we are separated by a low hill, we started to prepare for artillery fire. In an hour, except for the artillery and three small battalions of guarding artillery, all the remaining troops boarded the horse and fought out."

......

"boom......"

The Qin army's artillery bombardment began.

As mentioned earlier, the Guard Army had sixty artillery pieces and thirty crossbows. This time, Sun Xiurong seemed to have made up his mind to make the Goths look good. One hundred and eighty artillery pieces and ninety crossbows all rang out!

At the same time, Sun Xiurong only left his own personal guard camp, and three light cavalry battalions were guarding the spot. Suha's Aslan camp began to head north, Gao Tinghui's Bogra camp began to head south, while Sun Xiaoke's Bogda camp was waiting for the battlefield in place, waiting for the artillery bombardment to assault from the front after it was over.

The battle started in the morning. Although I had heard of the Qin army's "thunder and earth fire", the feeling after hearing it was completely different.

At the beginning, the Goths were not too panicked except for fear. However, when a large number of black iron balls of different weights began to fall from the sky and raged in the team, and the sky-shaking thunder exploded in the air, the crowd and the ground, the Goths, who had never seen such a scene, were completely panicked.

They were even worse than Sun Xiurong expected. Not to mention an hour, in less than half an hour, almost everyone retreated in one go. For the Alan Cavalry, Dacia/Bavarian/Saxony Light Infantry, it is natural to retreat easily, and it is nothing more than turning around.

They were just roughly together, but it was not so easy for the Goths who had set up their formations. They were all wearing heavy armor and arranged roughly in a roughly strict formation. Without strict command, the heavy armor team would soon fall into greater chaos!

“Woo…”

In the extremely chaotic situation, Curtis did not expect to let the light cavalry on both sides cross the low hill to block the Qin army's shelling. At this time, it was estimated that the Alan and Dacians would not let him go.

So he had no choice but to order the troops to retreat.

After about half an hour, they finally retreated to a place two or three miles away from the low hill. After passing the Qin army's artillery shells and the thunder, Sun Xiaoke and Bogda camp had already driven from the front!

Sun Xiaoke, the adopted son of Sun Xiurong, is actually only five years younger than Sun Xiurong and is thirty-seven years old this year. As one of the five generals, in fact, the Weiwei, he has a very important weight in Sun Xiurong's mind.

This young man Gongyue, who was previously entrenched in the Yili River Valley and the largest tribe in the right wing of the Western Turks, was abducted and became a slave to the Hu Luju tribe's great chief, and since he followed Sun Xiurong for a long time, everything seemed to meet his expectations.

In Sun Xiurong's mind, it is not uncommon for the adoptive son to turn against the guests in history, but it is generally caused by the overly prominent adoptive son (or nephew). For example, Li Siyuan in the late Tang Dynasty and later Tang Dynasty to Li Keyong, Li Congke to Li Siyuan, Shi Hu to Shi Le in the late Western Jin Dynasty, and Ran Min to Shi Hu.

Li Siyuan, Shi Le, and Shi Hu were all heroes, but once they died, the world was in chaos immediately, and the "adopted sons" with outstanding achievements made great contributions to it.

Sun Xiurong naturally didn't want to see this scene, so the adopted son he chose was not outstanding in terms of courage or intelligence, but he was the one who appreciated the most profound rules and practices of the Qin army, the strongest execution ability, and the most loyal.

Sun Xiaoke and Su Xijie are all the best among them. Although Su Xijie is not his adopted son, he is also one of the first young soldiers to follow him to attack Talas. Now one has become a general in the army and the other is in charge of an intelligence agency. If outsiders are a little careful, they will know Sun Xiurong's employment standards.

But this does not mean that Sun Xiaoke and Su Xijie are not strong. Sun Xiaoke is not strong only compared to Ma Lin, Bai Xiaode and Gao Juren. Su Xijie is not strong, and is also compared to Yuwen Yongnu. Among the generals of the Qin army, due to the existence of strict teachings and the use of far, medium and near weapons, it is difficult to lose a big loss, but to judge the situation and win a big victory at a very small price, it also requires the command of "famous generals".

Sun Xiaoke is such a person. He is definitely not the strongest in the Qin army generals, but obviously he is in the top ten, which is enough.

As Sun Xiurong's adopted son, his marriage was also arranged by Sun Xiurong. He married Nan Gong Xiaoyue's cousin. Obviously, he allowed Sun Xiaoke to exist as the core force of defending the royal family.

Sun Xiaoke led Bogda Camp out of the gap in the middle of the low hill.

As mentioned before, the military arrangement of the Weiwei Army is:

A small camp was made of five hundred people;

There are two thousand five hundred cavalry, including one thousand heavy cavalry and one thousand five hundred light cavalry;

There are two thousand five hundred infantry troops, including one thousand heavy infantry (including five hundred shaman soldiers), one thousand strong crossbow soldiers, and five hundred light infantry;

Five hundred artillery.

At present, the light infantry of each battalion remained in the Port of Cersonnis, and there were also a light cavalry battalion guard artillery and Sun Xiurong. So the two thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry rushed out with Sun Xiaoke!

Generally speaking, when attacking the enemy's formation, you must first use heavy cavalry, followed by heavy infantry, and then light cavalry detours on both sides and encircle them.

But the enemy has retreated far away. If the heavy cavalry keeps running in front at an extremely high speed, the energy consumption will naturally be very powerful when they arrive at the battlefield.

So Sun Xiaoke did the opposite. He asked a thousand light cavalry and a thousand powerful crossbowmen to charge forward, and let heavy cavalry and heavy infantry (all riding on horseback and can also be used as cavalry) follow slowly behind.

Soon, the formation that the Goths had not yet arranged again was only about two or three hundred meters away, and all the two thousand cavalrymen took out powerful crossbows!

A large number of crossbow arrows flew into the sky!

Then, in a group of two people, one holding a crossbow body and the other pulling the bowstring, and then putting the crossbow string on again, and the second round of shooting began!

Of course, this is also because the Gothic brigade on the opposite side has not been sorted out and is still in a state of chaos. Every crossbow arrow shot will aggravate the chaos of the enemy!

When the third round of crossbow arrows was put into use, the heavy cavalry behind finally arrived, and the light cavalry and strong crossbow soldiers quickly made way out.

Sun Xiaoke personally took charge of a team of heavy cavalry. At this time, he was only about a hundred meters away from the Goths who were still in chaos in front of him!

“Woo….”

The personal soldiers around him blew the horn of charge, and a thousand heavy cavalry, one with tiger spear and the other with short crossbow, rushed towards the opposite side in an orderly manner!

When Sun Xiaoke led the heavy cavalry to charge, five hundred Mo Jian and five hundred tiger spearmen had already taken off their war horses, and then they lined up into two large formations and rushed towards the enemy's heavy infantry!

......

Ashley, the leader of the Alan people, first led his army to retreat outside the range of Qin's artillery bombardment.

When Sun Xiaoke rushed over with heavy cavalry, his mind also became alive.

"The enemy is now rushing over the low hill. Isn't it empty behind the low hill?"

So he sent someone to inform Curtis that he asked the other five thousand people to continue to stay where they were, while he led the five thousand elites to the foot of the Taurus Mountain and then walked north. However, his guess was obviously wrong. He soon met the Gao Tinghui Bogra Camp, who was also preparing to go from there to the east of the low hill!

Unlike Sun Xiaoke, because it was an encounter, Gao Tinghui did not even launch a crossbow arrow, so he brought a thousand cavalry to kill him in!

At this time, the Alan people were generally equipped with short swords and shields, and the forwards had javelins in their hands. These weapons were still good to deal with ordinary infantry soldiers. When they encountered heavy cavalry of Qin army wearing cotton armor, tiger guns, and short crossbows, they soon fell into a situation of being beaten one side and passively.

Gao Tinghui himself was the fierce general in the Qin army, second only to Gao Juren and Yu Wenjing. A small battalion of 500 people he personally led straight into Ashley's formation and soon rushed out from the other end of the formation!

......

The Aslan camp led by Suha by Suha bypassed the low hill from the north and faced the already chaotic Dachian infantry formation!

......

It was completely different from what Sun Xiurong imagined, and the entire battle ended in only about an hour.

In a temporary tent, Gao Ying was reporting to him.

"King, the Goths seem to be weaker than they imagined. No wonder they have so many people and can only praise the Xhosa people. When General Sun Xiaoke broke through the Goths' heavy cavalry and heavy infantry formation from the middle, Curtis surrendered."

"And on the other end, the Alan people were preparing to attack our rear, but they were easily defeated by General Gao Tinghui, and the Alan people's leader Ashley was also killed on the spot."

"Their chiefs asked for surrender before the battle began"

"In this battle, our army suffered minimal losses, and the enemy was not killed or injured. The total was only two or three thousand. Most of them were caused by artillery bombardment at the beginning. The remaining people did not run away and all surrendered."
