Chapter 703: Shepherd Horse Yinshan

Nuozhenshui City is located on the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain. It is named after its close proximity to Nuozhenshui. Like Heicheng, it was originally a sentry fort of the Tang army, but at this time it had been deserted and collapsed and had no effect. Not far from Nuozhenshui City is a mountain pasture about dozens of miles wide. Due to years of erosion, the mountain seems very smooth, and cavalry can speed through Yinshan from here.

At this time, the sky was getting darker, and the night wind was howling in the Yinshan Mountains, echoing in the mountains, making a shrill roar. On the hills in the mountains about ten miles away from Nuozhenshui City, a huge Tang army had appeared. Tens of thousands of Tang cavalry caught up with Shi Siming's team. Li Qing'an was at the head of the team. He looked coldly at the large camp ten miles away.

Nuozhenshui divided the camp into two, and to the west was the camp of the Pugu tribe. Under the cold moonlight, tents of all sizes could be seen, densely packed, endless, with sparse and scattered lights. To the east of Nuozhenshui, there were obviously military camps, with neat tents and orderly lights. From the size of the military camp, there were at least 100,000 people.

"General, Shi Siming's military camp should be on the far right, and in the middle is the military camp of Puguyuan. It is now pitch black, and they should have left. On the left are 30,000 troops from the Pugu Department. Their army is not large, only 50,000 people, and there are no trenches in the Yingzha. It is recommended that you start with Shi Siming's military."

Lei Wanchun briefly introduced the distribution of the enemy. They learned about the general military situation of the other party from the captured Turkic ward. Now it is 100,000 to 50,000. The Tang army has an absolute advantage. A cruel sneer appeared on the corner of Li Qing'an's mouth. In this battle, he wanted to make Yinshan a cemetery for the Turks.

"Yes, let the carriage convoy attack Shi Siming's military camp!"

Li Qing'an's order was issued, and a salt tea transport team composed of seventy carriages began to slowly move towards the enemy camp. The carriages were covered with tarpaulins, and each carriage was followed by two Turkic cavalry. Without a driver, the two cavalrymen drove the carriages.

This is the carriage that transports salt tea, but the carriage and the things on the carriage, as well as the Turks next to the carriage are no longer the original salt tea team. The carriage team went down the low slope and began to accelerate. Several miles behind them were the Tang army's 70,000 troops. A long black line, at least ten miles long, slowly advancing forward, like a scroll slowly pulling a spectacular carpet in the sea of ​​people.

Seventy thousand cavalry, the earth and the sky, this spectacular aura seemed to be able to level Yinshan Mountain. These were seventy thousand cavalry, and 30,000 cavalry had already gone around the enemy's back under the leadership of Li Sheng, and the Tang army was attacking each other from the front and back.

The camp of Shi Siming's army was still quiet, and most of the soldiers had fallen asleep. The tents in the camp were next to each other, without fences, and without trenches. On the one hand, although Shi Siming's retreat was very embarrassed, most of the baggage was not taken away. On the other hand, it was more than a thousand miles away from the Tang Dynasty. No one would have thought that the Tang army would come with him, and it was Li Qing'an's army.

They were guarding against threats from both inside. Shi Siming's more than a thousand sentries were basically deployed on the left to guard against possible sneak attacks by the servants. On the front and opposite Yinshan, there were only more than a hundred sentries.

They received the news that the team carrying salt tea had returned. This team of salt tea was very important to Shi Siming and the Pugu tribe, otherwise they would not have waited here specifically.

Their salt tea is almost exhausted. Without tea, they can tolerate it, but without salt, they will have no physical strength, and a long journey will be a serious test for them.

Lian Shi Siming heard the news. At this time, the salt tea carriage was still several miles away. They just heard the report of the whistle. In the night, they had heard the horse's hooves running and the sound of the carriage wheels. It should be one or two miles away. Although there was a little moonlight, the huge shadow of the Yinshan Mountain made them not have a good vision and could not see the situation in the distance. After a moment, a soldier pointed to the front and shouted, "Come!"

I saw dozens of small black dots appearing a mile away, but Shi Siming was stunned. The convoy should be in a vertical row, so why did it become a long row, and it was so sparse. He immediately pointed his hand and said, "Go and check!"

A team of cavalry rushed forward to meet him. At this time, the carriage speed increased, and Shi Siming also felt the vibration of the earth, just like an earthquake. "No!" He realized that there were cavalrymen going to attack at night. He shouted, "I'll order the army to prepare for war immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard screams from afar. The soldiers who had just visited the situation were attacked. At this time, dozens of carriages were flaming, and red fire points appeared one by one. Shi Siming's face turned pale. In his eyes, there were not only fire points, but the endless black wave behind the fire points. The earth was trembling, like thunder rolling across the grassland.

He turned his horse's head and ran wildly to the back of the camp. At this time, the military camp began to be in chaos. The alarm bell of "Dang!Dang!Dang!" sounded everywhere in the camp, including the 30,000 troops from the servant's department were also alarmed. It was difficult to attack the grassland. The key was whether there was cover, and it was completely visible on the flat grassland.

The soldiers were in chaos. They put on leather armor and held war knives. They didn't care about their belongings. They rushed to the stables to the west, and they pushed and raged in the barracks, and were in chaos.

Seventy carriages had reached dozens of steps away. The carriages were in a hurry and the war horses were running forward frantically. The soldiers who controlled the war horses on both sides had left. The 70,000 Tang troops stopped hundreds of steps away. Many people instinctively covered their ears, and even the ears of their war horses were stuffed with linen, waiting for the thrilling moment to arrive.

A carriage exploded first, with an earth-shaking explosion, flames soaring into the air, black smoke was shrouded, the carriage was blown to pieces, and the broken wood and vehicles flew into the sky, and the limbs were broken, and half of the horses were even blown up into the air, with minced meat splashing.

The huge explosion could be heard dozens of miles away. All the Turkic soldiers were stunned and stood in a daze in the camp. They seemed to be immobilized, looking at the flames and black smoke rising into the air.

But this was just the beginning of the nightmare. Under the shock of the explosion, the other horses became even more frightened. They rushed into the barracks with a raging fire. Hundreds of soldiers did not dare to stop them, and they ran away shouting and ran away. The nightmare began to explode in concentrated bursts. A series of explosions like destruction exploded in Shi Siming's camp. The fire soared into the sky, the camp tent flew, the bodies were blown to the sky, the broken limbs and arms were broken, and corpses were everywhere that were blown up to a terrible sight, and black smoke filled the sky above the camp.

If there were many soldiers who were stunned just now, and at this time, tens of thousands of soldiers and war horses were crazy, the war horses were neighing and running wildly in the camp. The soldiers were frightened and trembled. Some were lying on the ground and trembling, while others were kneeling down and kowtowed to the gods desperately. For the Turks who had never seen or heard of gunpowder explosions, this was undoubtedly the Thunder God descending above their heads.

The entire camp was in chaos, with seventy explosions, which not only completely destroyed Shi Siming and the Pugu Army's morale, but even the Tang army was slightly in chaos. The war horses were frightened and the team was a little out of order. But soon, Li Qing'an issued an order to charge. He waved his sword and ordered sternly: "Kill!"

"Woo-Woo-Woo-"

The low horn sounds soared into the sky, one after another, one after another, and the entire grassland echoed the horn of the attack.

Tens of thousands of Tang cavalry launched an attack at the same time. Li Sheng's army came from north to south and Li Qing'an's army attacked from south and south. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed like a tide, like a magnificent epic, sang on the grassland like a magnificent epic: the strong horse's hooves flattened the tent, the sword swung over the head, blood burst out, and a spear pierced the chest, lifting the Turkic soldiers who had not yet died. The sound of crossbow machines, the Tang cavalry retracted the crossbow coldly, and a Turkic soldier opened his arms and fell to the ground with an arrow pierced through his vest.

This is a Yinshan meat grinder, a Shura field where 100,000 fierce Tang cavalry slaughtered 50,000 Turks, and the destruction and explosion brought by seventy carriages completely destroyed the Turks' will to resist. Whether it was Shi Siming's army or the army of the Jugu tribe, they were all trapped in the screams of massacre, burning the camps and even the sky was burned red.

The war horses were running wildly in the stream formed by blood, splashing large pieces of blood, dyeing the limbs of the war horse red. Shi Siming was already scared. When the first thunder explosion sounded, he knew that the situation was hopeless and that the Tang army had arrived. He had only one thought to escape from the camp and save his life. He no longer cared about the life and death of the 20,000 troops. He still had 30,000 troops outside. He had only left for one afternoon. He was extremely glad that his decision had made him find a way out in a desperate situation.

Shi Siming's reaction was extremely rapid. As soon as the Tang army vanguard entered the military camp, he had led 200 personal guards to the north of the camp. There was a vast grassland in front of him, but his wishful thinking was wrong. Thirty thousand Tang army cavalry came from behind, cutting off his retreat and cutting off his hope of escaping.

At this moment, the desire to survive was so strong that he sent away his personal soldiers because they were noticed by Tang Jun. He took off his golden armor because it would make him stand out. He dressed up as a soldier, a soldier who seemed to have just woken up from his sleep, throwing his armor and feeling embarrassed.

He did succeed. Thousands of Tang army cavalry chased his personal soldiers. They obviously discovered the uniqueness of the personal soldiers, and they also guessed that Shi Siming was among them.

But Shi Siming did not lose his war horse. Without the war horse, he would not be able to travel far. He was hiding among a group of soldiers fleeing west in a hurry. He suddenly discovered a loophole in the Tang army, that is, the southwest corner, and there seemed to be no Tang army entering. Shi Siming shouted loudly: "To the other side! You can run away!"

More than a thousand soldiers released the headless flies of Buddha, and any gap where they could escape was their last hope. They were motivated by Shi Siming and ran towards the gap in the southwest corner. Shi Siming was the only person among them riding a horse, so conspicuous. He also realized that he was too prominent, but he was reluctant to abandon his horse, and was surrounded by people and ran forward while hesitating.

But after only a few hundred steps, they found something was wrong. It was not that there was no one here, but that the army here did not participate in the rush to the camp, and only saw thousands of black troops lined up dozens of steps away.

At this time, Shi Siming suddenly remembered something, and he was so scared that he was scattered. There was only one possibility for the Tang army formation without attacking, that is, this was the location of the Tang army commander.

Is it Li Qing'an? He instinctively thought of this name, the name that made him scared all his life, the person he feared the most in his life, he felt that he was almost out of strength and courage, as if he was competing for arrows at the Yanghuahua birthday party eight years ago, he returned to his eyes. In the light of the fire, he seemed to see a golden helmet shining. His heart was so scared that he was about to stop beating. He stared at the golden helmet in the distance, and his mind was confused and forgot to escape. Suddenly, he took off his bow and arrow, took an arrow, and aimed at the golden helmet in the distance.

Releasing Buddha was God's deliberate arrangement. This southwest corner is where the Tang army commander Li Qing'an was. Li Qing'an and Shi Siming met again. The flames shone on Shi Siming. His sparse yellow hair was particularly eye-catching. Li Qing'an also took off the bow and arrow. He recognized Shi Siming at a glance. Sixty steps away, the desire to conquer strongly impacted his mind. His bow and arrow also pulled open, and an iron arrow flashed with metallic luster, aiming at the sparse haired head sixty steps away.

Eight years ago, they were competing for the pot of arrows, which was also called Wenshu. He defeated Shi Siming's will with the last arrow. Today, they aimed the bow and arrow at the other party at the same time, as if they were conducting another competition. The difference is that this time is called Wushu, and there is only one arrow.

Li Qing'an's personal guard had just reacted and ran forward with his shield. Li Qing'an's iron arrow shot out at this moment. At this time, Shi Siming's hand was shaking violently, just like he could never shoot the last arrow back then. He could not shoot this arrow. He felt that his hand no longer belonged to him. He was just a bystander, with only the sound of a dong dong drum in his ears.

Just when he was hesitating for the last time, he saw a black shadow floating through his pupils, and then his forehead felt a sharp pain, as if his brain had cracked, and an iron arrow shot through his head. At the last moment of his life, Shi Siming seemed to hear the last drum stop. He was in a magnificent palace, where a feast was held inside the hall, and there were gorgeously dressed guests everywhere. Li Qing'an stood opposite him, with a victory smile on his face, as young as before.

He was defeated by Li Qing'an again and for the last time. Shi Siming fell from his horse and looked straight at the sky, his eyes were no longer alive.
