Chapter 283 The Decisive Battle in Tancheng ([-])

Li Ye's dark murderous intent filled his heart. He was like a ferocious lion. Wherever he passed, there was a mess of blood and flesh, and there were piles of corpses everywhere. He killed more than 100 enemy troops. Under his leadership, nine thousand soldiers were also extremely brave and good at fighting, and they did not lose the wind in the face of enemy troops twice as large as themselves.

The country of Khana was originally famous for its good cavalry, but they lacked some bravery, but now they have a general who kills gods, and all the soldiers of Khana are inspired to be brave He died, fought bravely with the enemy, and killed the Sogdian cavalry retreating steadily.

But in terms of how hard it is to kill the enemy, it has to be two thousand heavy armored Modao troops. The stone-throwing army of the Great Food Army was burned to death, and the heavy hammer infantry was wiped out. Without the special checks and balances against the heavy armored infantry, the Great Food Army Still can only dispatch infantry and cavalry several times the opponent, trying to suppress the opponent with more troops.

But the heavy armored infantry had [-] Tang cavalry and [-] assistance from behind to protect them, so that the heavy armored infantry had no worries, and they let go of their murderous intentions.

If it is said that Li Ye is a fierce lion, then the two thousand Modao army is a pack of wolves, fighting with collective strength, invincible.

In this battle, the two sides fought for more than two hours. The Khorasan elite soldiers gradually lost to the Anxi Tang army. The casualties of the Dashi army were three times that of the Tang army. Already beheaded [-] enemy troops, but not one person died.

Abu Muslim commanded the Great Food Army to fight desperately, and even sent the most elite 5000 armored cavalry into the battlefield. This [-]-man cavalry is also called the Iron Guards. It is one of the two most elite troops in the entire Great Food. The other is the Iron Guards of Khorasan. They once defeated the [-] army of the Umayyad Dynasty in one battle.

But the deployment of [-] armored cavalry only delayed the defeat of the Dashi Army. The Dashi Army had obviously lost to the Tang Army, and its number of troops was also smaller than that of the Tang Army.

In particular, the 8000 Sogdian Army on the right had only [-] people left, and they gradually showed signs of defeat.

Both armies have been exhausted from fighting, and it depends on who can last till the end.

Five thousand armored cavalry rushed into the left flank of the Tang army, and Abu Muslim also realized that the left flank was the weakness of the Tang army, and most of them were composed of the cavalry of Pull Khan.

Defeating them may be his last chance to win.

The sudden killing of the cavalry increased the pressure on Li Ye. Fortunately, the Sogdian Army had already collapsed and was unable to counterattack. Otherwise, the counterattack of the [-] armored cavalry and the Sogdian Army would not be able to save Li Ye even if he was a god.

"Resist the enemy!"

Pull Khan's army was killed and retreated again and again, with heavy casualties. In just a quarter of an hour, the casualties exceeded a thousand.

Li Ye was so anxious that he once again charged into the cavalry group, killing more than [-] people in a row, all of them cut off the opponent's horse's legs, and after the opponent fell off the horse, he cut off the opponent's neck again.

Li Ye's eyes lit up, he found a way to defeat the armored cavalry, and that was the tactic used by the Yue family army to defeat the Iron Buddha.

The opponent looks like the armor is solid and sharp, but they also have an obvious weakness, that is clumsiness, as long as they fall off the horse, they will die.

Li Ye came out and shouted: "Ning Yuan's army commander has a sword in his hand, attacking the opponent's horse's leg, Suiye's army is covering with a shield!"

Xu Jian led two thousand long swords to kill, and Pei Xiu and An Taixuan also led one thousand broken leaf sword shield troops to kill.

They turned into infantry, specialized in attacking the opponent's horses, and cut off the horse's hooves with a single blow. This move really worked wonders. Li Ye's left wing gradually reversed the unfavorable situation. The military shield blocked the assassination of the armored cavalry, and the long swordsman chopped the horse's legs below.

The other [-] Bahana cavalrymen dealt with the collapsed Sogdian army to prevent them from counterattacking.

More and more war horses had their hooves cut off, and the armored cavalry fell off their horses one after another. They were too clumsy to stand up, and their necks were chopped off by Suiye Hanjun.

In just half an hour, more than [-] of the [-] armored cavalry were beheaded, but the opponent was not a vase. The Ningyuan Army and the Broken Leaf Infantry also suffered more than half of the casualties.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Abu Muslim ordered [-] food troops to support the cavalry, but was stopped by [-] cavalry led by Xi Yuanqing.

The armored cavalry became less and less as they fought, but the Ningyuan Army and Suiye Army also suffered nearly half of their casualties, which was very tragic.

Li Ye was covered in blood, the enemy's flesh and blood dyed him red, his voice became hoarse, and his legs and arms were also injured. ’ Hitting the head of Huoyunma, Huoyunma screamed violently, fell heavily to the ground, foamed at the mouth soon, his limbs twitched, and the arrow was highly poisonous!
The archer was the opponent's general, Aragorn. He was extremely cunning, and he missed Li Ye with one arrow, and immediately hid among the soldiers.

Seeing that his beloved horse was in great pain, Li Ye held back his grief and anger, drew out his saber, and stabbed the huoyun horse into the heart, ending its pain.

But the situation on the battlefield was extremely critical, and Li Ye's left-wing Tang army suffered too many casualties and could no longer hold on. Li Ye knew that he still had one last chance, and it was up to him to see if he could seize it.

Li Ye changed a horse, and he shouted hoarsely to the hundreds of soldiers behind him, "Follow me and kill the enemy general!"

Li Ye stared at the enemy general Aragorn, and he urged his horse to kill the enemy's banner. The speed and agility of the horse under his crotch were far inferior to that of Huoyun.

But Li Ye had no choice. If they didn't kill the opponent's general, they would definitely lose. Li Ye saw the enemy's general, Aragorn, and the opponent also wanted to kill him, which also gave Li Ye a chance.

Aragorn was also staring at Li Ye, drew his bow and set an arrow, and shot at him.

Li Ye had already put down his lance and drew out his bow and arrow. Seeing the arrow coming in front of him, he kicked it away, and kicked the arrow away precisely. Then he opened his bow and set the arrow, took a deep breath, and shot three arrows at Aragorn.

This is his only chance to shoot and kill the enemy's chief general, so it depends on whether he can succeed?Li Ye's heart was stuck in his throat.

Aragorn dodged the first arrow, but the second arrow came in front of him instantly. He was taken aback, and instinctively turned his head. The second arrow passed by his face, but the third arrow was faster, and he couldn't dodge any more. Not over.

'puff! An arrow hit the forehead, and the arrow pierced through the head. Aragorn opened his mouth wide, and the vitality in his eyes disappeared quickly, and he turned over and fell off the horse.

The main general Aragorn was killed in battle, and the food army was in chaos. Li Ye was ecstatic in his heart. With a loud roar, he led more than a hundred cavalry into the crowd. Li Ye rushed under the battle flag like a gust of wind, and slashed out with his long spear. Click! The flagpole broke, and the battle flag was snatched by Tang Jun.

Li Ye burst into tears, he won the battle of Talas.

Generally, the main general is there, the battle flag is there, the main general is dead, and the battle flag is dead. This is the case for both the Tang army and the big food army.

The Sogdian Army was the first to collapse. First, more than 2000 soldiers began to flee, and then led the other 6000 people of the entire Sogdian Army to follow and flee for their lives. The last [-] armored cavalry were also frightened, and turned their horses and ran behind.

Li Ye led the few remaining troops to chase after him.

According to the wooden barrel theory, the water capacity of a wooden barrel depends on the shortest board. If one board is broken and damaged, no matter how strong the other boards are, the wooden barrel is useless.

The collapse of the right-wing Sogdian Army led to the complete failure of the entire Great Food Army campaign. Abu Muslim knew that the situation was over, and he was in great pain, so he had to order the entire army to retreat.

This time Gao Xianzhi ordered the whole army to pursue, the morale of the Tang army was like a rainbow, and a powerful force broke out. The big food army had no intention of fighting, and ran desperately. The cavalry threw away their helmets and armor and fled for their lives. .

The Tang army chased and killed more than 2 miles, killed more than 12 enemies, and captured nearly 3000 people. The Dashi army invested nearly [-] people, but in the end less than [-] people fled back to Dashi with Abu Muslim.

This is a fiasco that has never been seen since the establishment of the Abbasid dynasty.

But the Tang army also paid an extremely heavy price. Gao Xianzhi's 1 Anxi Army had only 1 left, and the 7000 Beiting Army had only [-] left.

But the left wing led by Li Ye suffered the heaviest casualties. The 1000 Suiye Army lost 3000 or [-] people, while Ba Khana dispatched [-] troops successively, and only [-] people survived in the end.

Li Ye himself also suffered seven arrow wounds and knife wounds.

If Li Ye hadn't killed the enemy general and cut off the banner, causing the Sogdian army to collapse completely, and the left wing of the Tang army would have been wiped out after half an hour of fighting, the Tang army would have been defeated in the Battle of Talas.

　The reason for the failure of the Taluo Tang Army in history was not entirely the betrayal of the Ge Luolu people. Even if the Ge Luolu people did not betray, the Tang Army would still fail. Not long after, the Ge Luolu people stabbed at the last moment, causing the Tang army to be completely defeated.
