Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 373 Capture Xieli Alive
"Listen everyone, for every Tang army soldier killed, I will reward three sheep, kill a Tang army general, reward three cattle, kill the Tang army chief general, be promoted to three ranks, reward a hundred taels of gold, and several cattle and sheep!"

Jieli Khan knew that those Tang soldiers stopped not to let them go, but because their horses were too tired to walk.

They fought all the way from Shuofang City to Yinshan Mountain, and then chased themselves here from Yinshan Mountain. The distance between them is thousands of miles!
The distance of thousands of miles, even the best horse breeds, is still unbearable, not to mention that the Tang army does not have so many good horses at this time, half of them are middle horses, which is already very good.

So he planned to attack Tang Jun while Tang Jun was resting!

Although the Tang army has an advantage in numbers, their horses are unable to fight, so if they face hundreds of infantry with more than a hundred cavalry, they are completely capable of fighting.

And the purpose of giving such generous rewards is just to make the soldiers work harder. Only when everyone works hard together can they defeat this Tang army!
The Turkic cavalry were naturally excited at this time, and they naturally knew their situation. If they didn't want to go north and be frozen to death, they would have to turn around and fight those Tang troops sooner or later.

They had to work in the morning and in the evening. At this time, taking advantage of the rest of the Tang army and the weakness of the horses was the best opportunity, not to mention that Khan offered them such generous conditions.

It can be said that if they can escape from birth, not to mention being promoted to the ranks, large rewards must be indispensable.

Everything has two sides. Although they are driven to a desperate situation, now is also the time for them to seek wealth!
Cheng Chumo noticed it when hundreds of cavalry turned around and rushed towards the Tang army.

"The Turks are about to come to your door automatically, haha, everyone is ready to fight!!"

Seeing the Turks rushing back, Cheng Chumo didn't panic in the slightest. Now he has the same mentality as those Turkic soldiers, seeking wealth in danger!
"But general, our horses just rested, and now they don't want to move at all!"

A soldier shouted that their biggest problem now is that their horses are exhausted, and their physical strength is also severely exhausted. As soon as they stopped to rest, the Turks rushed back, giving them no time to recover their physical strength.

"Without horses, we will fight in infantry. Most of them here are from infantry. I believe we have not forgotten our skills!"

Cheng Chumo said boldly and pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist. Nowadays, there are many infantry in the Tang Dynasty. Due to the scarcity of war horses, most of the Tang army are cavalry when they mount their horses, and infantry when they dismount.

"How dare you forget, even if you ask me to use the Mo Dao now, I will make it move!" A soldier responded to Cheng Chumo, and the surrounding soldiers also responded: "If there is a Mo Dao, it would be strange for these Turks to dare to turn around!" No, our Modao Formation doesn't cut them into cubes."

In order to pursue Xieli, Cheng Chumo and the others did not carry the Modao, which is useful against cavalry, and most of them only carried horizontal swords and long spears.

The soldiers gradually became excited. They have been oppressed by the Turks all these years, and any hot-blooded man would be upset. Now that they have successfully raided Yinshan Mountain and even have a chance to capture Xieli alive, they will naturally try hard to get one. Got it!

"Combine!"

Cheng Chumo called out in a leisurely manner, with a hint of Qin accent in his thick voice.

Hundreds of Tang soldiers immediately formed a square formation and waited for the charge of the Turkic cavalry.

On the grassland, if the infantry meets the cavalry, the best way is to form a phalanx, so that they can minimize the impact of the cavalry, and it is easy for the cavalry who are charging to fall into the phalanx and cannot rush out. , and finally slowly eat up all those cavalrymen!
The Tang army formed a battle formation, and Jieli didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, and still let the cavalry charge.

Life and death are at stake here!
"Oh!"

The fast-charging cavalry collided with the frontmost Tang soldier. The powerful impact of the cavalry knocked that soldier into the air, and the knight's saber followed quickly, taking the life of a Tang soldier.

But the soldiers of the Tang army in the rear rushed out quickly, stabbing wildly with their spears, and the cavalryman was poked a few holes soon, and fell off the horse.

The collision between the cavalry and the infantry phalanx is also the collision between the two overlords of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and it is also the wrestling between the nomadic civilization and the farming civilization!

The development on the battlefield is also similar to the history of the war between the two countries.

The Turks always used their own advantages to attack and harass the borders of the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning, the Turks often had the advantage, but as soon as the battle continued, the men on the grassland gradually became exhausted. At that time, the tenacious characteristics of farming civilization were revealed.

Whether it is the current Tang army or the previous Han army, the situation is the same. At the beginning, they were always suppressed by the regime on the grassland, but as the regime in the Central Plains slowly developed, it was the regime in the Central Plains that won in the end!
And the current situation on the battlefield is also very similar to this historical development track.

The Turks always have an advantage in the early stage, but as the battle continues, they will soon be suppressed by the Tang army, especially where Cheng Chumo is. This guy who looks like ape-man Tarzan is simply a monster. Seeing his face turn blue.

The tiger father has no dogs, and there is an old man who is a great devil. If Cheng Chumo is a weak chicken, Cheng Yaojin will never let him join the army.

Jieli Khan also discovered Cheng Chumo, a monster, and found that Cheng Chumo's goal was very clear, which was him, Jieli Khan!
"It's bitter, all the soldiers protect me and go to the south to kill!"

Seeing that Cheng Chumo was about to kill him, Jieli Khan still had the mind to continue fighting, so he hurriedly summoned the Turkic cavalry to protect him and rushed south.

Although there are still many Tang troops in the south, there is also his Turkic army in the south!
"Hmph, little Xieli, even if I give you a pair of wings today, you won't be able to escape!"

Cheng Chumo was still young, but he called Jie Li Xiaoer, although it was a bit funny, but no one dared to say anything, the Turkic cavalry had already started to lose their positions.

"Go, let's go!"

Jieli Khan hurriedly urged his subordinates to start rushing to the south.

"Want to go, hehe, look at the trick!"

Seeing Jieli trying to escape with dozens of riders, Cheng Chumo snorted coldly, picked up a long spear from the ground, and shot it like a javelin with an absolutely standard posture.

A shot hit the horse, and the horse suffered from pain, knocking Jieli Khan to the ground, while the Tang army soldiers behind him surrounded him.

Seeing this scene, Jieli lamented: "Heaven wants to kill me!"
