    Chapter 22 The bloody battle of Gu Mu'er (Part 2)

    The messenger in front of him rode away. Garissa's face was solemn. He looked back at his subordinates who had been running for a long time. Many of them had tired faces. They had only rested for less than an hour. Now the cannibal was about to attack.  It was really difficult for his tired troops to go into battle, but Garissa did not have much reluctance in his heart. Abu Muslim did not let himself go to the mouth of the valley to fight to the death with the Zhou army's fresh troops, but cooperated with the large food cavalry in the middle of the valley to eliminate them.  The advance infantry of the Zhou army.  (dka,

    Garissa turned around and shouted: "Everyone, cheer up. The future of Tochara depends only on today's battle. Let's fight hard to protect the country and homeland." As he spoke, Garissa drew out his sword, pointed forward, and behind him  The cavalry of about 20,000 people also mustered up their courage and followed the general to urge their horses forward.

    Most of the tribal cavalry have either been killed or dispersed. The vast majority of the 20,000 cavalry are the last cavalry force of Tochar. Garissa is very clear about the thoughts of those small countries and tribes. The Great Zhou has now completely replaced the Tang.  It is a formidable giant that makes all surrounding countries dare not look directly at it. Even if it wins this time, it is just a border town's army that defeated the Zhou army. If the Zhou army really faces itself, then it only needs to mobilize troops from the Central Plains.  , when Mount Tai hits you, all victories will be like castles on the beach.

    But Garissa now had no choice. The king could not withstand the temptation of Da Shi and must fight against the terrifying opponent of Da Zhou. As a soldier, Garissa had no choice but to accept the order anyway and put away his thoughts. Garissa accelerated  Due to the speed of the war horse, the soldiers around him had already used faster speed to surround Garissa in order to protect him.

    It seems that the Dashi cavalry has received the order from the Tocharian cavalry to join the attack, and has slowed down the frequency of the attack. It began to gather on both sides of the Zhou army's infantry and let the way forward. This group of several thousand infantrymen  It was like a lump of iron. Five times the number of cavalry surrounded and strangled them, but they actually fought for an hour without collapsing. They also inflicted huge casualties on the Dashi cavalry. The corpses of horses and soldiers that could be seen everywhere on the ground showed how tragic the battle was.

    Zhang Xiaoyong immediately noticed that the Dashi Cavalry had retreated, and immediately ordered all the separated Zhou troops to gather together. Under the moonlight, the huge charging formation of the Tocharian Cavalry was clearly visible. Zhang Xiaoyong knew that now was the time when his army was at its most dangerous.  .

    The armor on Duan Yaoming's body was all ripped open by weapons, but the damage to his body under the heavy armor was minimal, all of which were flesh wounds. There were only less than 400 of the 600 men in Duan Yaoming's hands, and all the Zhou army fought  There have never been so many casualties. In the cold weapon era, an army that could withstand more than 30% of casualties without collapsing was already the elite of the elite. However, in the hearts of the infantry at Dalun Pass, this kind of casualties could not destroy their fighting spirit.

    Duan Yaoming's eyes were full of excitement. The most serious injury on his body was an inconspicuous hole on his left shoulder. It was a scar left by Ahamor, one of the Great Eater Cavalry, with a spear. The spear almost pierced Duan Yaoming.  If not for Duan Yaoming's intuition of danger on the battlefield, his heart would have been stabbed to death by this Ahamor. Ahamor is a general title for generals with more than a thousand people in the Great Food Army, just like the current captain of the Zhou Army.  Official positions, from the sixth to fourth grades, all have the title of school captain. There are six levels in total, but they are distinguished by the title in front.

    This Ahamor is one of the commanders of the 3,000-strong legion in Abu Muslim Army. His name is Khameneh. His bravery and martial arts are enough to rank among the top five in the army of the Food Army. He is famous for not fearing death in battles.  , that spear hidden behind the other cavalry almost killed Duan Yaoming.

    Duan Yaoming commanded two brigades of 600 men to form a small formation, which firmly blocked the fierce counterattack of the Great Food Cavalry. Under the counterattack of Duan Yaoming's 600 men, the Great Food Cavalry suffered heavy losses, which also made Hamenet greatly disappointed.  Angry, he personally led his five hundred soldiers to attack. As expected of the most elite cavalry under Abu Muslim, they immediately broke through a gap in Duan Yaoming's formation.

    If the infantry formation was broken during the chaotic battle, it would be a dead end. A dozen spearmen on the periphery were killed under Khamenei's attack. Khamenei was very experienced in breaking through the dense defensive formations of the infantry. He directly called  His soldiers covered the eyes of the horses with black cloth and drove the empty horses to attack the Zhou army. As a result, the spearmen on the outside stabbed the charging empty horses to death. The lethality of the spears was absorbed by the dead horses. At this time, Hamenet's  The elite soldiers rushed behind the empty horse and immediately killed a dozen spearmen and rushed in.

    Upon seeing this, Duan Yaoming immediately led more than 20 sword and shield soldiers to block the gap. Duan Yaoming flew up and down with a mace, ignoring the weapons chopped by the big food cavalry. Give it to me and I will give you one.  The armor on his body blocked the weapon of the big cannibal, but the big cannibal cavalry couldn't bear Duan Yaoming's stick at all. They would either hit the horse's head or the human head, swaying the horse to death, hitting the person to death, and forcefully charging in.  The big food cavalry blocked it.

      The sword and shield soldiers behind Duan Yaoming were also veterans. They cooperated with their general to chop off the horse's legs. A group of Zhou army spearmen also quickly came over and were about to close the gap. How could Hamenei let Duan Yaoming be so relaxed?  He blocked the gap, just like Duan Yaoming followed a cavalry. Hamenei had already noticed Duan Yaoming, a tiger general. The so-called general is a brave soldier. As long as Duan Yaoming is killed, this stubborn resistance of the Zhou army will be over.  It will lose its backbone and collapse.

    Duan Yaoming leapt up and struck a big food cavalryman in front of him with a stick, beating his head and shoulders to a bloody pulp. He suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. Immediately behind the big food cavalry, there was another horseman, all covered in black armor.  The war horse he was riding was also a dark horse. After Duan Yaoming had just killed the rider in front of him, he shook up the spear in his hand and stabbed Duan Yaoming in the chest. It was fierce, decisive and fast. This spear could be said to be inevitable for Duan Yaoming.  avoid.

    Duan Yaoming's usual sense of danger and hard training in martial arts saved his life. As soon as Hamene's spear was thrust out, Duan Yaoming began to slump his shoulders and shrink. Although Hamene's spear was fast, it still only pierced Duan Yaoming's shoulder.  Up, this spear was so fierce that it directly broke through the shoulder armor and almost penetrated Duan Yaoming's left shoulder. Duan Yaoming was also a ruthless character. He exerted force on his shoulders and regardless of the huge pain, he grabbed Hamene's spear with his left hand and pushed it down.  Lock, pick up the mace with your right hand and sweep it across.

    Hamenei tried his best to snatch back his spear, but Duan Yaoming had no choice but to hold on to the spear shaft tightly. The spear seemed to be stuck in an iron mountain and could not be pulled out. Then Duan Yaoming's mace arrived, and in a flash  The stick hit the head of Hamene's war horse, and the huge head of the war horse was immediately shattered. Red and white splashed on Khamenei's face. The horse fell limp and died. Khamenei immediately fell to the ground with the horse. At this time, Khamenei  Only then did he realize that he had underestimated Duan Yaoming, so he immediately gave up his spear and wanted to pull out the saber from his waist. Two sword and shield soldiers appeared behind Duan Yaoming. They thrust their shields forward and pushed away the several cavalrymen following Hamene.  .

    Hamenei drew out his saber. When he looked up, he saw the dark mace already in front of him. Hamenei raised the saber in an attempt to block Duan Yaoming's hateful blow. He only heard a "ding-dong" sound, and a weapon weighing seven or eight pounds was held in one hand.  How could the sword withstand Duan Yaoming's seven or eighty-pound angry blow? The sword and stick were struck at once, and hit Hamene's top door with a pop. Hamene's iron helmet suddenly turned into a strange-shaped discus.  , the sharp teeth on the mace poked seven or eight holes in the iron helmet, and all the red and white stuff flowed out of these holes.

    Duan Yaoming's stick almost knocked out Hamene's entire head. Hamene's body slumped to the ground. Hamene's soldiers behind him suddenly went crazy. Their general was killed. They all had red eyes and risked their lives.  They rushed forward, wanting to kill Duan Yaoming to avenge their general, and also want to snatch Hamenei's body back, but they all fell on the spear formation of fifty spearmen who had just arrived, and more than a dozen of them were stabbed to death immediately.  , the crossbowmen behind Duan Yaoming also started shooting, and more than twenty cavalrymen were shot into sieves, and fell to the ground together with the neighing horses.

    At this time, the surrounding Dashi cavalry saw their general being beaten to death by Duan Yaoming, and their momentum suddenly stagnated. The entire Zhou army's spear formation stabilized again. At this time, the Dashi cavalry who had sent the order also arrived, so the Dashi cavalry  The food cavalry began to retreat.

    The soldiers of the Zhou army who were fighting fiercely suddenly felt that their fronts were loose. They were all covered by the buttocks of the large food cavalry. The large group of large food cavalry quickly withdrew from the battlefield with the Zhou army. Duan Yaoming only felt the bone-piercing pain in his shoulder. He touched it lightly.  , with blood on his hand, a soldier stepped forward to untie Duan Yaoming's shoulder armor, and used a ball of gauze to block Duan Yaoming's bleeding shoulder wound. This kind of gauze soaked in medicine can effectively reduce inflammation and stop bleeding. Duan Yaoming waited for the soldier  He treated the wound hastily, pushed him away, and loudly ordered: "Keep the formation, move closer to the brigade, and the crossbowmen don't stop shooting."

    Fang Chi's 600 casualties were better than Duan Yaoming's. Now there are more than 500 people who have formed a formation to move closer to Zhang Xiaoyong's brigade. At this time, Zhang Xiaoyong has less than 4,000 men left, plus Fang Chi has lost one of Duan Yaoming's men.  Thousands of people fought to the death for more than an hour. The Zhou army's decoy force suffered more than a thousand casualties. This was also the most casualty battle for the Anxi army since the rise of Li Zuoguo Anxi.

    There is no trace of depression or fear on the face of every Zhou army. The continuous victories in the past few years have intertwined the honor of soldiers with iron and blood. The Anxi Army has become an army that cannot be destroyed mentally. All brigades have  In response to the shouts of the living brigade commander, the rows of spearmen stood in the front row without any hesitation. The spears were set up one after another without any trembling at the head of the spear, just like steel poured into iron.  The injured cavalrymen in the formation were hacked to death, and they were also lined up in the second row.

    Fang Chi and Duan Yaoming's four brigades were not far from Zhang Xiaoyong's brigade. As their soldiers merged into the brigade, the Zhou army's five thousand infantry formed a huge circular formation, with long spears, unyielding expressions, and Zhou Jun's fighting spirit.  Like fire.

    ?After all, Garissa had never cooperated with the Dashi Cavalry. After this period of fighting, the Dashi Cavalry was dragged down by the tenacious fighting of the Zhou army. Therefore, it withdrew early, which allowed the dispersed Zhou army to have time.  A solid formation was formed. Although Garissa saw the Zhou army forming a defensive circle, there was no other way. He could only bite the bullet and rush his horses desperately, preparing to charge into the Zhou army.

    There is a small open space next to Zhang Xiaoyong, and there are injured Zhou troops at his feet. He is lucky to be able to send his injured Paoze to Zhang Xiaoyong. There are only more than 300 wounded soldiers here, and Zhang Xiaoyong stands behind him.  A battle flag, this is the battle flag of the infantry left capital of Dalun Pass. Zhang Xiaoyong's character "Zhang" is at the foot of this battle flag. The majestic wind blows, and the battle flag unfolds in the wind, and the black roaring giant tiger on it is lifelike.

    "Shoot the crossbows for me. I don't need the protection of the soldiers now. Come to the front. As a reserve team, block any gaps for me." Zhang Xiaoyong shouted, and the soldiers around him formed three without saying a word.  The team of a hundred people went to the outside. They all knew that Zhang Xiaoyong was right. It didn't matter whether there were soldiers or not when the battle formation was broken. The cannibals were cavalry. If the infantry was broken by cavalry on the plains, no matter how they escaped, it would be the same.  die.

    Zhang Xiaoyong's unit only used more than 6,000 troops to contain about 50,000 cavalry. This can not but be said to be a miracle. The sound of crossbows piercing the air sounded, and the charging Tocharian cavalry suddenly fell on their backs. After all, it is impossible for light cavalry to escape.  Wearing heavy armor, they looked so fragile under the blow of crossbow arrows. The Tocharians ran for a long time and ran into the Zhou army's gun array head-on. They suffered heavy casualties immediately.

    Duan Heng was killing with ease at this time. With the same strength, the Zhou army cavalry proved their strength. Even if the Dashi cavalry tried their best, they were increasingly unable to withstand the fierce attacks of the Zhou army cavalry. One by one, the cavalry fell from their horses, and their blood was free of charge.  Splashing, countless empty horses galloped on the battlefield. The corpses on the ground often tripped the horses. It seemed that the surrounding sounds could not be heard at all. The cavalry on both sides only saw the enemy. The sound of the cavalry breaking through the armor and piercing the human body was like  Being in a slaughterhouse, the terrifying sound of a sword slashing open armor and breaking bones can scare the faint of heart.

    Duan Heng retracted the cavalry gun in his hand, pulled it out from the chest of a cavalryman who looked like a big food general, and gently flicked the cavalry gun. A line of blood spread along the front of the sword, and a clump of blood was tied around the mouth of the cavalryman.  The white gun cherry has turned red, and a lot of blood was splattered on the tightly wrapped gold-threaded pole. It still did not affect Duan Heng's stable hands. This riding pole weighs thirty kilograms, and the pole alone is  It's twenty-one pounds. It's heavy in the front and light in the back. As long as Duan Heng swings it, he can use the inertia to break through the heavy armor.

    The soldiers around Duan Heng tried their best to maintain their formation to protect the general, and they were all engaged in fighting with the enemy. Duan Heng took the time to look around, and found that the Zhou army had already gained the upper hand, especially Han Yuanzhong, who had already sent the cavalry to attack.  Cut into four pieces, the lone cavalryman was quickly killed. As long as the situation remained unchanged, it was only a matter of time before the cavalry was eaten.

    "Order the Tocharian cavalry to cooperate with our cavalry and annihilate the infantry as soon as possible. No matter how big the casualties are, if the infantry is eaten, support us immediately. The key to this battle is whether we can quickly annihilate the Zhou army's infantry in the valley.  "Abu Muslim led his 15,000 cavalry and began to move towards the mouth of the valley. The infantry of the Zhou army was almost approaching the two fighting cavalry. Abu Muslim knew that it was better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt him. In the valley,  This infantry is already a nail. If it is not solved, then in the decisive battle with the Zhou army, you will always have to beware of attacks from behind by the infantry.

    The Tocharian soldiers also tried their best, but the effect of the impact was only to increase casualties. The crossbows suffered heavy casualties, and they could not break through the Zhou army's gun array at all. They could only leave more and more corpses and corpses outside the gun array.  With the corpses of the food army on the ground as companions, the food cavalry had no choice but to rest at all. Then they began to attack Zhang Xiaoyong's troops. More than 40,000 and nearly 50,000 cavalry once again surrounded Zhang Xiaoyong's infantry.

    But at this time, Zhang Xiaoyong had shrunk all his troops and turned them into a big hedgehog. Crossbows kept flying, and the cavalry outside were shot off their horses from time to time. Neither the small team charge nor the large cavalry charge could open the gap. For a long time,  The battle made the Dashi cavalry tired, and the bows and arrows could not hit the strong armored Zhou army, but the sharp crossbows of the Zhou army could easily kill the Dashi cavalry. The Zhou army now became a whole, completely destroying the strength of the troops.  The cavalry, which was eight times the size of the Zhou army, was helpless.

    Abu Muslim knows very well that now that the ambush has turned into a frontal attack, even if he wins, the losses will definitely not be small. The loss of his own troops alone now exceeds 3,000. His beloved general Hameh is in a civil war.  News of the death also came. The 20,000 Zhou army infantry at the entrance of the valley were in a tight formation and were advancing. Abu Muslim knew that his chance of victory was slim. The thousands of Zhou army infantry in the valley alone were so difficult to defeat.  It is said that the Zhou army's infantry seems to have reached 20,000, and it is impossible to rely on the 15,000 cavalry in his own hands.Defeating the other party, not to mention the powerful cavalry of the Zhou army, which had completely suppressed him and sent 15,000 cavalry. Abu Muslim's heart had never been as helpless as it was today, but he still had the last trace of luck.  Should the ambush take action?  As long as we can win the Dalun Pass, it will not be without gain.

    Abu Muslim shook his head and shook off the uneasiness in his heart. He had reached this point and had completely broken up with Da Zhou. Then all that was left was a fight to the death. If he won, he would be able to delay time and give Da Shi some time to breathe.  If the opportunity fails, then Zerfar can put the responsibility on himself. Then it will depend on whether Dazhou is determined to destroy Daesh. As for Tocharo, Abu Muslims have no hope from the beginning to the end.  , Tochara can only be used. In a country that has been oppressed for many years, the people who oppose the king are probably several times more than those who support it. Every year, a large number of Tocharian people flee to Anxi and become the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.  Such a country can only use its residual heat in this battle. In the battle just now, Abu Muslim saw that the only way to defeat the Zhou army was to rely on its own cavalry.

    With the sword drawn out, Abu Muslim shouted: "Brave Muslim warriors, God is watching us. Today is the time when we sacrifice our lives for God. God bless us."

    The cavalry of the Muslim Legion behind them all drew out their weapons, and the dull roar was like rolling thunder: "God bless you." Then without hesitation, he and his beloved general launched a charge towards the Zhou army advancing with the war drum at the mouth of the valley.
