    ??

    On May 15th in the eighth year of Daye, the Sui Allied Forces and the Western Turkic Allied Forces fought on Mount Lesuo (southwest of today's Urumqi County, Xinjiang).

    At this time, the internal situation in the Western Turks was not as complicated as it was in the Tang Dynasty.

    There are many tribes in the Western Turks, but with the rise of Shekui Khan, the several tribes that supported Shekui Khan became stronger.

    Shekui Khan originally lived in Suiyechuan (today's Chu River in Central Asia), and his direct troops were left and right, totaling ten.  These ten tribes are also the direct tribes left by Datou Khan.  Among them, the five tribes living in the east of Suiye Sichuan are the Chumukunlu tribe, the Huluwuque tribe, the Sheshetitun tribe, the Tuqi Shiheluoshi tribe, and the Shunishi Chuban tribe, which are called the Wudu.  Lu, each tribe is governed by a Chubu; and the five tribes living in the west of Suiye Sichuan are respectively the Axijieque tribe, Axijie Nishu tribe, Geshuque tribe, Geshu Chuban tribe, and Basai cadres, which are called  For the five crossbows to be lost, each department was assigned a Qinjin to be in charge.

    Historically, in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the Western Turkic Khan divided his country into ten tribes.  Each department is assigned one person to take charge, and is given an arrow named Ten Arrows.  Also known as "Shishe" and "Ten Surname Tribes".  The so-called ten surnames.

    The current Wu Nu Shi Bi and Wu Du Lu Shang are not as powerful as they were during the Tang Dynasty.  Historically, two generations of Khans, Shekui Khan and Tongyehu Khan, made the Western Turks strong and prosperous. After that, Wu Nu Shi Bi and Wudu Lu became the mainstream within the Western Turks.

    However, the current ten tribes are all direct descendants of Shekui Khan. They follow the orders of Shekui Khan without much thought, and they can be regarded as a very strong fighting force.

    In this attack on Xizhou, Shekui Khan mainly mobilized the five Wudulu troops, each with about 10,000 cavalry.  The rest of the tribes, including Yingsuo, Chuyue, Chumi, Yanmian, Hosa, as well as the tributary states of Qiuci, Yanqi, Shule, Khotan and other countries, sent about 50,000 cavalry.

    It was also Shekui Khan who underestimated Sui Dynasty, so he did not go all out.

    As for Huang Mingliao's troops on the opposite side, there are 30,000 cavalry from the headquarters, 12,000 cavalry from the Qibi tribe, 3,000 cavalry from the Wuxi tribe, and 4,000 cavalry from the Zhiyi tribe, totaling 50,000 cavalry, which is about half of the Western Turkic troops.  .

    As Huang Mingyuan expected, Gaochang Guoguo did not help each other.

    Before the war, Huang Mingliao, as the head coach, divided his troops into three parts.

    The left wing is the Qibi tribe, commanded by Qibi Ge.  If this battle was defeated, the Qibi tribe would be destroyed. Therefore, in order to survive, they had to fight to the death, so Huang Mingliao placed it on the most dangerous left wing.

    On the right wing are Gao Zhen's 5,000 Hu soldiers, plus two cavalry units, Wuxi and Zhiyi, under the unified command of Gao Zhen, and their combat strength is weak.

    The main force of the Xizhou Army is the Chinese Army.

    The two sides camped in the south of Lusuo Mountain. The camp of hundreds of thousands of people stretched for more than ten miles. At a glance, it was almost impossible to see the edge.

    Looking at the Western Turkic army opposite, Huang Mingliao also looked heavy.  Although he acted very relaxed when he was with Li Jie, in fact this time he gambled everything and couldn't afford to lose.

    The two sides form an array.

    As soon as the battle began, Shekui Khan took the initiative to attack. He ordered his general Ashina to lead ten thousand cavalry and charge directly into the center of the coalition.  He also ordered the generals Ashina Babushe and Ashina Duo to lead two separate armies to attack the two wings of the coalition.

    Shekui Khan knew very well that the opposing coalition forces were insufficient in number, so he overwhelmed them with numbers.

    Seeing this, Huang Mingliao ordered his two wings to move forward and engage the Western Turkic cavalry in a cavalry attack, while the main force of the Chinese army prepared to fight on foot.

    In fact, this is very risky.

    However, among the coalition forces, Hu soldiers accounted for more than half. If we want to use the combat power of Hu soldiers, pure defense is definitely impossible.

    Over the years, Huang Mingliao has been increasing the combat power of the army due to limitations in numbers.  In order to fight against the Western Turkic cavalry, Huang Mingliao formed two special troops, namely 1,500 armored cavalry and 3,000 Mo Dao soldiers.

    In order to form these two troops, Huang Mingyuan transported hundreds of thousands of kilograms of iron to the Western Regions through various methods.  And the consumption of these more than 4,000 troops is even more unimaginable.

    As soon as the battle began, the Turks attacked with all their strength.

    In terms of personal bravery, the Hu people have always looked down upon the Han people, even if they failed many times.  Ashina's nearly 10,000 cavalrymen charged directly into the center of the Sui army.

    At this time, there were less than a hundred steps away from the front of the Sui army's formation. The Sui army commander waved his flag, and immediately there was a scene of thousands of arrows being fired. A burst of people in the Turkic formation fell on their backs.

    The Turks also knew how powerful the Sui army's crossbows were and were well prepared.

    The Hu people were good at riding and shooting, and many of them fought against the Sui army on horseback.  Huang Mingliao arranged a row of large shields in front of the formation, which just blocked the barbarians' bows and arrows.  The crossbow has long-range coverage and is not affected.

    The Turks kept falling, but Ashina gritted his teeth and charged forward. He knew very well that as long as he rushed into the Sui army's formation, he could slaughter them like cattle and sheep.A group of Sui people.

    When the Turks arrived in front of the formation, the Sui army withdrew their large shields from both sides.

    After the large shield, there are rows of resisting horses.  These resisting horses are responsible for slowing down the speed of Hu Qi.  The Sui army inserted sharp knives into the Ju's horses. The Hu cavalry bumped into the Ju's horses and all of them fell dead.

    After rejecting the horses, there is the spear formation.

    The Sui army used formations to defeat the enemy, especially this kind of positional warfare, which was really the Sui army's favorite.  The Sui army, armed with spears and wearing heavy armor, used their flesh and blood to block Hu Qi's advance.

    The two sides were mixed together, and Hu Qi's speed finally slowed down under the repeated blows from the horsemen, spearmen, and crossbows.  At this moment, the Chinese army's flag waved, and behind the spear formation were two Mo Dao soldiers on both wings.

    The commander of Mo Daobing, Bao Gu, followed Yang Yiyan and others to command Fengzhou Mo Daobing.

    Seeing the Western Turkic cavalry coming forward, Bao Gu gave an order, and the whole army advanced in neat steps, like a wall, squeezing towards Hu Qi's cavalry.

    When the Turkic cavalry came to the front, the Sui soldiers in the front row raised their swords and slashed diagonally at the Hu cavalry opposite.

    This knife slashed through, the white blade flew like frost, red blood flowed like stars, and the Hu Qi in front of him was instantly shattered into pieces.

    There were countless Turkic cavalry in the front, and three thousand swordsmen were blocking the road, waving their swords constantly. The whole front of the battlefield was filled with the broken bodies of barbarians.

    Ashina looked at this astonishing scene and was shocked. He had never seen such a terrifying army.

    Taking advantage of your illness to take your life, Huang Mingliao planned a package of attack plans against the Turks, which was to seize them first and frighten the Hulu.

    At this time, the catapults in the Sui army's formation began to roar.

    These catapults are behind the big shield and are guarded by Mo Dao Shou in front, which happens to be the long-range support of Mo Dao Shou.

    Although the effect of boulders bombarding cavalry is not good, the deterrent effect of boulders flying in the sky on soldiers is huge.  Otherwise, missiles and stone bombs would concentrate the cavalry, turning them into flesh and blood.  Moreover, the stone bullets everywhere seriously hindered the cavalry's charge.

    The Sui army was strangled several times, and the Western Turkic cavalry finally began to be confused. The best terminator for the cavalry was of course the cavalry.  The flag of the Sui army's central army wavered, and the cavalry on both wings of the central army, under the command of Qin Qiong and Meng Yue, charged towards Hu Qi.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
