Luo Shixin and Cheng Yaojin came to Hulu River with only more than ten guards...

Hulu River is the largest tributary of the Wei River. It was called Wating Water and Long Water in ancient times. It was named because the riverbed was narrow and tortuous, and it looked like a "gourd".

Luo Shixin and Cheng Yaojin walked down the upper reaches of the Hulu River, and wrote down the bridges in their minds one by one.

Cheng Yaojin felt bored and carried the big axe on his shoulders and said, "The five thousand Turkic cavalry have already arrived at Dapan Mountain first? Boy Su was too slow, just like a snail, one step late, and just crossed the Hulu River. Now it is a little bit far from Dapan Mountain! Jie Li is still a little bit high, and he has seen through the intention of marching."

"Don't worry, the party has dealt with it." Luo Shixin said indifferently.

The Tianjie Army was specially cared for by Li Yuan and was well-equipped, with 2,500 cavalrymen.

Luo Shixin investigated the terrain and only Cheng Yaojin led more than ten guards to take the lead, and the speed was slightly faster than Su Dingfang. Shortly after they arrived at Hulu River, they received news that the Turkic vanguard 5,000 cavalry arrived at Dapan Mountain first.

Dapan Mountain is located in the northwest of Fuzhou. It is a stretching mountain range that completely separates the north. In terms of geographical location, it echoes Fuzhou. To the west of Fuzhou is a vast river called Luoshui. The Luoshui is not the river near Luoyang, but originates from Caoliang Mountain on the southern foot of Baiyu Mountain, and flows into the Wei River from northwest to southeast.

The Luoshui River is wide and the water flows fast, so it is impossible to cross.

The Turks came so quickly that their mobility was one point, and the key was to avoid fighting. The cities they encountered were ignored and the fortress defense line were directly bypassed. In history, Turkic soldiers came to Chang'an, which was also the result of Jie Li Khan's use of the Xuanwu Gate Incident to bypass all the soldiers in the city.

Dapan Mountain, Luoshui and Fuzhou became a pocket. If the Turks wanted to continue south, they had to walk from the foot of Dapan Mountain and the banks of Luoshui and pass through the road in Fuzhou. Otherwise, they had to bypass Dapan Mountain, or cross the Luoshui and bypass Fuzhou.

The water flows upstream of the Luo River. The water flows rapidly, and people and horses cannot cross it, and boats must be used. The Turks entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Since there was no such thing as boats, it was even more unrealistic to bypass Dapan Mountain. It became imperative to walk through Dapan Mountain and the Luo River through Fuzhou.

There were 150,000 Turks, while Luo Shixin only had 20,000. It is particularly important to choose a favorable terrain that could not be separated from the Turkish army and could not give full play to their numerical advantage.

Looking at the southward line, only the place where Dapan Mountain and Luo River intersect have this convenience.

Therefore, Luo Shixin immediately dispatched Su Dingfang to Dapan Mountain and asked the governor of Fuzhou to cooperate with him in repairing the fortifications.

According to Luo Shixin's plan, Jie Li didn't know their direction. Although the distance was closer to the Turks, it was very likely that Su Dingfang would first arrive at Dapan Mountain without any precautions. However, when more than ten of them arrived at Hulu River, he heard that Jie Li sent his vanguard general Ashidewu to lead five thousand Turkic cavalry to approach Dapan Mountain.

With the advantage of being close to the road, we will gain a foothold in Dapan Mountain first.

Luo Shixin was a little surprised at first, but when he thought of Luo Yi, a traitor, was unstoppable, everything was taken for granted.

Cheng Yaojin was excited and his eyes were shining with an expression of intention to show off his skills. He followed Luo Shixin and looked around, but he couldn't see any good things. He was already idle and panicked. He found that there was a war to fight, but he was already out of his heart.

Luo Shixin was not concerned about letting the Turks take the lead, as if he hadn't heard it, and the sentence "There is a certain way to deal with it" was over.

"Where are the other party 5,000 people?" Cheng Yaojin reminded him seriously.

"Old brother, go there! I'm going to see if you defeat the Turks, I'm almost here too." Luo Shixin didn't know what Cheng Yaojin was thinking, and didn't tease him. He would go there, and there would be one more person to help Su Dingfang.

Cheng Yaojin could no longer be stunned and laughed: "The old brother will leave first." Without any hesitation, he rushed out with a horse's belly. He rode alone, and his speed was far better than Su Dingfang. He caught up with the troops near Fuzhou City.

At this time, Su Dingfang had already learned about the Turks' movements, but he didn't care and was still rushing to Dapan Mountain at an even speed.

"Boy Su!" Cheng Yaojin shouted and came to the nearby place.

Su Dingfang held back the war horse and immediately bowed his fists to greet him: "General Cheng, where is the general?"

"I'm busy with work! I'm asking me to support you." Cheng Yaojin likes to put gilds on his face the most. Most of the words he said were good for him. He looked back and forth: "At your speed, I'm afraid I'll be rushing to Dapan Mountain in the afternoon... I don't know yet. The Turkic one named Ashina or Ashide or something, and has already arrived at Dapan Mountain first. If you go directly like this, wouldn't you bump into him?"

"It's Ashidewu!" Su Dingfang's knowledge of Turks was much more accurate and effective than Cheng Yaojin.

Regarding Cheng Yaojin's question, Su Dingfang said lightly: "It's almost time for me to camp at the foot of Dapan Mountain. The Turks took the lead, so they were destroyed and they were taken back."

In a simple sentence, he immediately spoke about Cheng Yaojin's heart and let out a terrifying laugh: "My brother's subordinates are unique and right. Destroy them and grab them back. Boy Su, I, Lao Cheng, will listen to your instructions today, do whatever you ask Lao Cheng to do."

Su Dingfang said confidently: "No need to do anything. In this case, without tactics is the best tactic. Just kill them directly and crush them with your strength."

************

Ashidewu traveled day and night without sucking, and finally arrived at the banks of the Luoshui River near Dapan Mountain before the arrival of the Tang army.

I chose a place that was the flattest, close to the water plants to set up camp.

The Turkic tactics were different from those in the Central Plains, and the way of camping was naturally different.

When the people of the Central Plains marched and fought, they were accustomed to relying on the benefits of equipment and being good at defense. Most of the camps they set up chose important places that were both offensive and defense. In Turkic combat, most of them relied on the convenience of war horses. The camps were naturally dominated by water and grass, followed by flat grounds that facilitated cavalry running and fighting.

After arranging the camp, Ashidewu immediately ordered his soldiers to adjust the mounts of the war horses and feed them.

They rushed from the grassland with great speed, and now they went deep into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and had very little time to rest. They were originally resting completely near Jincheng, but because of Luo Shixin's northward journey, he had to go to Dapan Mountain first, so as not to fall into Luo Shixin's hands.

As he went along the way, Ashidewu clearly felt a little disappointed when he sat down. Even his good horse was like this, and the army below was even more unbearable.

Eating on weeds for a long time and overdrawing of physical strength for a long time is extremely harmful to war horses.

People in the grassland cannot live without horses, and their care for horses is extraordinary.

Ashidewu couldn't wait to wash his beloved foal and feed it.

After doing all this, Ashidewu stopped and rested without sip.

He himself was like this, and the five thousand soldiers under his command were the same. He settled the horse first and then rested.

After the busy camp gradually calmed down, Ashidewu received news that the two thousand five hundred Tang cavalry had approached within two miles and were rushing towards him.

"What?" Ashidewu was stunned when he heard the news.

How dare you attack his 5,000 Turkic cavalry with just two thousand?

But Ashidewu quickly realized that they rushed from the grassland, with a distance of 1,000 miles in front and behind, and had not yet received a good rest. At the end of the crossbow, they rushed to nearly 100 miles to seize the advantage of Dapan Mountain. Although they had a slight advantage over the Tang army in terms of numbers, they were exhausted and the outcome was really unknown.

Ashidewu Wuchu had fought with the Han people for more than ten years, and had never encountered such a decisive Han army. Facing their 5,000 people, he had no hesitation at all, and went straight to the front and went into battle without stopping after marching for a hundred miles.

"No matter what, I can only fight first..." Ashidewu didn't suck the conclusion out of his teeth, his eyes showed anger of miscalculation and a vicious wolf-like fierceness. He roared: "Don't rest, get up and meet the enemy."

Ashidewu was just in a formation without sip. The rolling smoke and dust on the opposite side had already come into his eyes. The heavy and chaotic sound of the horse's hooves treading the ground, and the gasping and snorting sound of the war horses were getting closer and closer.

Looking at the murderous military formation opposite, Ashidewu blew the horn of the attack.

He wanted to let this group of damn Han people in the Central Plains know that horse war is the world of their Turkic people. When their Turkic children learned to ride horses, the sons of Han people in the Central Plains were still playing with urine and mud!

The two vanguards approached like lightning and had arrived at the land of one arrow in an instant. The land of one arrow was the distance with the strongest lethality of the Turks, and their power was also fully displayed at this distance.

Countless sharp arrows and flying stones fly overwhelmingly like locusts!

The sharp sound of breaking through the sky and the howling of flying stones instantly made a great contribution.

More than a hundred cavalrymen of the Tianjie Army who rushed to the front instantly broke their muscles or were hit by several arrows. Some of them fell off their horses without even saying a word.

More than one hundred people were lost in one meeting...

The ownerless war horses jumped around; the injured war horses neighed and fell down, lifting the warriors on their backs to the ground, and the lineup at the forefront collapsed instantly!

Riding and shooting is always the strongest weapon of the grassland nation!

Before Ashidewu could applaud, he saw the body of the Tang army who had passed by the opposite side, and his speed was getting higher and higher...

The dense and powerful arrow not only did not stop the Tang army from advancing, but instead stimulated their fierceness. They all followed the training of avoiding bows and arrows in advance, raised the wide wrist guards on their left arm to protect their heads and accelerated their charge.

At this time, the Turks, who were famous for riding and shooting, had no time to shoot the second arrow...

The cavalry of the Tianjie Army had already collided with the Turkic cavalry under Su Dingfang and Cheng Yaojin. (To be continued...)
