Datang Live Room

Kuoding's army rested for a few days and then continued to move forward.

Also because it was difficult to supply supplies here, Yan Kai felt that a protracted war was not a good idea for them.

After passing through Lop Nur, just after leaving Loulan Ancient City, I met Gao Changjun.

"Who are you? Why do you appear in our place in Gaochang!"

Gao Changjun shouted with some vigilance.

However, because there were few people among them because of the beautiful appearance, they didn’t take it to heart.

Although Gaochang is a small country in the Western Region, it still has tens of thousands of troops.

The army facing Yan Kai and the others now has five thousand troops.

Even though Yan Kai and his group of more than a thousand people seemed to be well-equipped, they were not too worried.

Yan Kai smiled and said: "I once wrote a letter to your King Gaochang, saying that he would not let our people pass, so I would come over."

#34;Now I'm here. #34;

"Hahahaha!" Gaochang General Qu Yong bent over with laughter on his horse: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be the county magistrate who wrote to our king!"

At that time, the letter Yan Kai sent to Gaochang was regarded as a joke by the whole Gaochang.

This Quyong's surname is Qu, and he is the nephew of Qu Wentai. Naturally, he knows about this joke.

Now I heard that a small county magistrate in Yankai actually dared to come, how could I not make him laugh?

"Did you bring together all the government officials in the county?" After knowing that the person coming was Yan Kai, Qu Yong ignored them even more.

Kuoding County has gradually gained some fame in the Tang Dynasty in the past two years, and many of them are still spread among businessmen, saying how wealthy Kuoding County is.

As for Gaochang, they have never heard of the word Kuoding, so how can they know what kind of person Yan Kai is.

This is the so-called information cocoon room.

Yan Kai waited for him to finish laughing before continuing: "Where are our people?"

"You're late!" Quyong said arrogantly.

"What? You dare to kill our people from the Tang Dynasty!" Li Chengqian shouted angrily from the side.

That Wang Xuance was an official of his Prince's Mansion.

"Who said we killed them? It's just that they escaped when our guards weren't paying attention!" Qu Yong said nonchalantly: "The messenger and the monk both ran away."

Yan Kai and others looked at each other, and then Yan Kai said loudly: "You were the one who detained the person. Now if you say that the person ran away, it would be unreasonable, right?"

"Then what are you doing?" Qu Yong said impatiently: "I told you that people ran away, so they ran away! This is already our boundary in Gaochang, take advantage of my good mood today, and leave quickly!"

"Brother Yan, it seems that this trick won't work for us if we get lost!" Cheng Huailiang said with a smile.

He was the first to follow Yan Kai, knowing that this was the excuse Yan Kai always used.

"We are really in their hands today!" Yan Kai rolled his eyes at him. He really didn't believe that Wang Xuance ran away on his own.

The person whom Gaochang Wang Qu Wentai was holding must be closely guarded. How could he escape so easily?

Qu Yong saw that Yan Kai and others not only did not retreat, but started chatting there, obviously they did not take him seriously.

Gaochang frequently provoked the Tang Dynasty because he turned to the Western Turks.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty's foreign wars only included the Eastern Turks, who were the first to kill them. In Goryeo, the remnants of Yeon Gaisumun were still in power, so it could not be considered a complete annihilation of the country.

Therefore, the surrounding countries do not yet have a clear understanding of Datang's true combat power.

According to Gao Chang, how many years did the civil war end in the Tang Dynasty? They have been fighting in the Central Plains for so many years, and both their military strength and logistical supplies must have been severely damaged. It is impossible for them to still have the strength to come to the Western Regions to compete with them.

Isn't that why the word Yelang is arrogant? Since they haven't had a formal fight, I feel that Datang should be a weakling.

The contemptuous attitude of Yan Kai and the others directly rubbed off on Qu Yong.

The generals of the Tang Dynasty longed for military glory. As the general of Gaochang, Qu Yong was the nephew of Qu Wentai, so some people have always said that he became this general because of his status. At this time, he also planned to prove himself.

"The Tang army has entered our land of Gaochang without permission. Drive them out!"

With a wave of his hand, his five thousand troops pressed forward.

Yan Kai and others did not expect that the enemy not only refused to surrender, but also dared to fight back at them.

From the first moment they met, Kuoding's army had formed a military formation.

Seeing the enemy troops pressing forward without any structure, Kuoding Army's chariots pressed forward a little.

The front of the entire battle formation turned into a row of tanks.

Kuo Dingjun skillfully untied the horses from the chariot, then took out the big iron nails on the chariot and smashed them through the nail holes he had left with his hammer.

In just two minutes, these chariots were fixed in front of the formation and became a solid simple city wall.

"Two rounds of bow and arrow throw!"

Cheng Huailiang shouted methodically.

Gaochang is a mixed force of infantry and cavalry, with about 1,500 cavalry and 3,500 infantry.

Those cavalrymen rushed so fast that they were almost within the range of their bows and arrows.

Two rounds of bows and arrows were thrown out, just enough to hit these cavalry.

The Gaochang cavalry also had bows and arrows, but the range of the cavalry bows was not as good as that of the infantry bows, and they had to get closer to shoot.

After two rounds of ejection, many Gaochang cavalry were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. However, they rushed quickly and were already within a hundred meters.

"Throw the incendiary canister!" Kuo Dingjun had rehearsed how many times to deal with this kind of cavalry charge.

The burning cans about the size of apples thrown by Kuoding Army landed about fifty meters away, and they happened to bump into the cavalry who had just rushed over.

Boom!

A sea of ​​fire suddenly appeared in front of the two armies.

Some of the cavalrymen who had already entered the sea of ​​fire obviously would not survive.

As for the cavalry rushing from behind, those horses, as beasts, are naturally afraid of fire.

When they rushed closer, they found fire, and it was almost difficult for the cavalry to control it.

Some couldn't stop and rushed directly into the sea of ​​​​fire, and then howled miserably.

Some stopped, but the cavalry charging behind them bumped into them again, and then everyone rolled into the sea of ​​fire.

The Gaochang cavalry had no idea that the Tang army could form such a sea of ​​fire in front of the formation.

At this time, the crossbow machine on the chariot began to show its power. The distance of tens of meters was exactly the distance where the crossbow machine was most powerful.

Crossbow arrows shot directly through the sea of ​​fire into Gao Changjun's body.

Hundreds of more than a thousand Gaochang cavalry were wiped out in an instant.

The rest were so dizzy from the smoke that they couldn't get through, so they had no choice but to turn back and run towards their own infantry square.

But when they turned around and ran away, the Tang cavalry, led by Cheng Huailiang and Li Anyan, also followed them and killed them.

Yan Kai managed to catch Li Chengqian. This ancestor brought you to the battlefield to feel your manliness, but he didn't ask you to rush in and kill the enemy.
