Liangzhou.

As the sun sets, a group of Guiyi cavalry was running eastward in the wilderness. The three thousand cavalry captains were well-equipped. Many of them had traces of swords and axes on their armor, showing that this was a team of elite troops who had been through the battlefield for a long time.

The soldiers had a solemn face and a strong temperament, like a sharp spear. Even if they did not roar and fight, they showed extraordinary iron-blooded aura.

The general in the lead was in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a two-inch scar on his cheek, spreading from the bridge of his nose to the ears, which looked particularly hideous and terrifying.

He is Zhang Huaishen's nephew and the leader of this team. His real name is rarely mentioned. Because of his tough fighting style and good at fighting tough battles, he often rushes the enemy to the point of being overwhelmed by the enemy when fighting, so he has the nickname Zhang Daniu.

If elite soldiers leave the city, they will naturally not be performing ordinary tasks.

At noon, Liangzhou received a military report that a grain transport team from Lingzhou was attacked, and the five hundred soldiers escorted the grain were killed and injured, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and tens of thousands of stones of food had fallen into the hands of the Uighur cavalry.

This batch of military rations was transported from Xiazhou through Lingzhou. In fact, this is a food route that continuously transports food and fodder. A few months ago, after the Langya Army broke through the Dangxiang people, the subsequent army also brought orders to raise military rations for Hexi when receiving the territory.

Liang, Ling and Xia capitals are located at the northern end, and their eating habits are not much different. Lamb is the most popular among soldiers. Although the Dangxiang people's army is gone, the cattle and sheep are still there. It just so happens to replenish military rations for Liangzhou, so as not to be transported from Guanzhong.

The news that the grain road was attacked and the military rations were robbed made Zhang Huaishen furious on the spot. He immediately sent Zhang Daniu to lead the Guiyi army's elite cavalry to dispatch.

Since the Northwest War fought until now, because Liangzhou’s defense line is complete and tight, the Uighur army has never been able to capture the city, which has led to the war entering a stalemate. At this time, the importance of logistics supply has gradually become prominent and its status has risen.

As a long-time general in the army, Zhang Daniu knew very well that the two armies are competing with continuous combat capabilities now.

For the Uighurs, they fought for a long distance and Liangzhou was far away from the Western Regions, so it would definitely become increasingly difficult to replenish food and fodder. As long as the Tang army's food and grass and military equipment could be continuously replenished, even if reinforcements did not join, they would have a great chance of winning the war.

Unexpectedly, the first thing that went wrong was not the Uighur grain road, but the Tang army's grain transport team.

If you think about it carefully, this is actually easy to understand. The Uighur soldiers and horses have many troops. Although they have not broken through the Tang army's defense line, they have the advantage of their forces everywhere and are in an offensive position. The initiative on the battlefield is in their hands, and they have the time to divide their troops and infiltrate them.

As long as there are not many such soldiers, it is possible to bypass the Tang army's key defense areas and enter the rear of the Tang army.

It is precisely because he knew that there would not be many such soldiers and horses that Zhang Huaishen only asked Zhang Daniu to come out with three thousand cavalry to solve the problem. But to be honest, Zhang Huaishen could not distribute more troops when the Uighurs attacked fiercely and day and night.

"General, we are almost at the place ahead!" A scout monk rushed back from the front and said to Zhang Daniu.

Zhang Daniu's eyes sterned, nodded without moving, raised his arm and shouted, "I'm about to arrive at Wolf Smoke Valley, the whole army is on guard!"

He was also a military general. Although this shout was not loud, every soldier could hear it clearly through his cultivation aura.

The wolf smoke valley forest is high and deep, which is very suitable for setting up ambush. Even monks cannot see the situation inside without going deep into the forest. Otherwise, the grain transport team would not have been killed or injured, and only one monk escaped and went to Liangzhou to report the news.

Zhang Daniu must be cautious.

"The brigade stopped in front of the valley entrance, and the scouts went deep into the valley forests to see if they could find the other party's traces!" Zhang Daniu said in a deep voice.

They came to chase and kill the Uighur cavalry. According to common sense, the other party has long disappeared, but Zhang Daniu is more cautious. His order is to first rule out that the other party is still in Wolf Smoke Valley and have some ambush.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said his order, he heard the ground rumbling. After the forests on both sides of the Wolf Smoke Valley, two torrents of cavalry circled out in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Daniu's expression sank: "Square formation, prepare to face the enemy!"

According to the previous report of the monk, there were only two thousand Uighur cavalry attacking the grain transport team. Now that our side has not stepped into the unfavorable terrain of the valley, the other side has killed it. In Zhang Daniu's opinion, this is simply a death sentence.

But as the Uighur cavalry gradually ran out, exposed

Overall, a sound of gasping in the Guiyi army sounded from the Guiyi army. There were not two thousand people at all, even more than twenty thousand people!

"How come there are so many people?" Zhang Daniu's heart was shocked.

Obviously, when the Uighurs attacked the grain transport team, they only dispatched some of their men, and the others hid, and they were basically hiding in the deep forest. But how did so many Uighur cavalry sneak to the rear?

If the Tang army's defense line had a huge loophole and 20,000 to 30,000 Uighur cavalry could infiltrate, the Tang army would have been defeated in the battle of Liangzhou and would definitely not have been able to support it until now.

In an instant, Zhang Daniu's face was as deep as water. As the backbone of Guiyi Army, he grew up in the army since childhood. His military skills were not bad, and he thought of the answer in a blink of an eye.

That was the only answer that made him creepy.

These Uighur cavalry did not penetrate the Tang army's defense line from the front, but went around a large circle and avoided the entire Liangzhou defense line! Zhang Daniu could even imagine that they entered the northern grassland from the northwest and then headed south from the north, with a journey of thousands of miles.

Because it was impossible to go south, the entire Hexi was controlled by the Tang army.

The Uighurs have been unable to capture Liangzhou for a long time, and the pressure of military rations is getting greater and greater, so they have to find a way to break the deadlock. From this perspective, the Tang army's strategy of luring them to Liangzhou was correct, and it also caused great pressure and danger to them.

But no one expected that the Uighur cavalry would detour from the north. It was a big circle, and there were large areas of deserts, which were definitely not easy to walk. They could reach the border of Liangzhou and pass through large groups of people, and they were guarded by relevant cities. The possibility of their failure in their operations was extremely high.

However, they came in after all.

It is conceivable that there will definitely be no living person at the border of the Great Wall far away from the frontal battlefield.

Since the Uighur cavalry had such an action, their strength would never be weak, and they would definitely be far more than 20,000 to 30,000 people, and their goal would be quite large. What made Zhang Daniu even more frightened was that since they appeared, it means that the bigger action had begun!

The robbery of cattle and sheep may be to replenish food, or it may be to attract the attention of the Tang army, share the Tang army's mobile forces, and cover up their real goals!

"Their target is either Lingzhou City or Liangzhou City!" After judging this, Zhang Daniu couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Lingzhou supports the Liangzhou defense line in the rear. Once Lingzhou falls, Liangzhou will fall into chaos; and if the Liangzhou defense line is attacked on both sides, the consequences will be even less.

"Return the situation here to the general, please respond!" The moment before the two armies joined the formation, there were already a large number of Uighur monks hiding in advance around them, and they were quickly approaching. Zhang Daniu recalled all the monks with him, so that they would break through at any cost, and they must report it back.

"General, what should you do?" the monk asked anxiously.

Zhang Daniu's face was as ironic as iron, "We can no longer escape. The only way to kill a few more enemy enemies can reduce the pressure on the battle situation is one point!"

After saying that, he raised his long spear and pointed forward. The power of the military battle formation exploded, his eyes were as red as blood, and his true colors shouted: "A real man is loyal to his duties and serves the country, and kill him at this moment! Kill!"

"Kill!" The three thousand Guiyi soldiers roared together and rushed towards the boundless Uighur cavalry in front of them.

They were once lonely outside the border, surrounded by powerful enemies, and still fought endlessly, generation after generation, guarding the last territories of the Tang Dynasty in the northwest border.

They once had glorious success, and they fought all the alien races and fled in a snail, recreating the prosperous Tang Dynasty style that was respected and looked up to by everyone; they also suffered a crushing defeat, with only two states left in the eleven states, and more than half of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed or injured. The soldiers witnessed their relatives and friends and friends who died in battle, but were powerless.

Now, they are still fighting for the dynasty, family, and themselves. Over the years, many things have changed. The only thing that has not changed is that they are never afraid of the enemy and dare to bravely rush forward at any time!

In just half an hour of fierce battle, Zhang Daniu was already panting like a cow. The guards beside him died one after another, and he was covered in bruises.

His military and military formation power had been exhausted. Although the Uighurs had paid a price of more than three thousand people before this, he knew that their army would inevitably be wiped out today.

The war is endless, and there are no immortal soldiers.

Zhang Daniu didn't care about his ending. In the bloody battle, he took the time to look back and see if the monks in the army had successfully broken through and took the military information back in time.

He was disappointed.

Behind the battle formation were Uighur monks like crows, like dark clouds, and their monks all fell into the pool of blood in front of the dark clouds, without breaking a gap in the dark clouds.

No one successfully breaks through,

Military newspapers cannot be sent back.

Zhang Daniu roared in grief and anger, desolate and full of despair.

This means that their sacrifice can only be vain and there will be no meaning at all.

"Break through! Break through! Even if only one person is alive, the general must report it back!" When Zhang Daniu roared, a large piece of blood burst out from his mouth, "The deputy general leads people to break through, and I will cut off the back!"

Without hesitation, the deputy general led his men to a turn and entered the layers of Uighur warriors.

As they were about to break through the last level of enemies, their own people were the first to die.

When the deputy general fell off the horse, he still stared at the front with an angry look.

Team after team of people scattered and broke through, but they were the first to be wiped out. Those who lucky enough to break out of the Uighur military formation were also intercepted and killed by monks on the outside.

The Uighur cavalry had long surrounded them into three layers inside and three layers outside, and there were a large number of monks outside to block them, so they would not have the chance to break through.

Three thousand people soon left less than 30%.

When the exhausted Zhang Daniu was stabbed off the horse with a spear, he was weak and still unwilling to give him a head. He drew out his sword and slashed at the Uighur general who was rushing towards him.

He knew that his movements were already very slow and his power was very small. This knife containing the last bit of spiritual energy might be able to kill an ordinary soldier, but he would never be able to do anything to the Uighur general.

I will also be stomped on the other party's horse's hooves and completely bid farewell to the faction that I am still fighting.

However, a strange scene appeared. He swept out with his sword. The Uighur general who killed countless people exploded with his men and horses, forming a large mass of blood mist!

Not only the Uighur general, but also the Uighur cavalry who had good cultivation around him were also broken!

Zhang Daniu was stunned.

His sword will never have such power unless it is when his combat power is complete.

What's going on?

The next moment, he understood.

Because the Uighur cavalry like iron walls in front of him were like eggs that were pinched and suddenly died on the spot. After they all fell down, a soldier with black robe and iron armor appeared in his sight.

This is...Master Wang?!

A team of Uighur cavalry turned into an elite royal division full of corpses!

They rushed past both sides of Zhang Daniu, and in an unrivaled majesty, they rushed towards the panicked Uighur cavalry.

Zhang Daniu stood up with a knife, almost crying with joy.

A young general stopped his horse in front of Zhang Daniu, saw his armor clearly, turned over and rolled down from his saddle, and greeted him with his fists: "Is the last general Xu Jingzong, the commander of the Yulin Army, how dare you ask the general who is under?"

"Guiyi Army, Zhang Zhixing!"

Zhang Daniu reported his real name, and before he could think about anything else, he hurriedly said: "The Uighur cavalry detoured from the back and went deep into Liangzhou. There is only a small part here, and there must be stronger power. He either attacked Lingzhou or went to Liangzhou. Please report the military information immediately!"

Xu Jingzong did not move.

In Zhang Daniu's puzzled and urging eyes, he showed a comforting smile: "General Zhang doesn't have to worry. The day before yesterday, there were indeed 100,000 Uighur cavalry attacking Lingzhou, but they were defeated by us."

Zhang Daniu opened his mouth unexpectedly: "Blast...break?"

Xu Jingzong said: "General Zhang didn't know that the Youyun war had ended successfully. The Yulin Army was ordered by King An, and through Yunzhou, Xiazhou, and Lingzhou supported Liangzhou, it happened to encounter Uighur cavalry attacking Lingzhou, so it was naturally defeated by us!"

"We are victorious in Youyun?! Wouldn't that mean..."

"Yes, the battle of Liangzhou will also be won soon. So General Zhang doesn't need to worry about anything anymore."

Zhang Daniu laughed three times at the sky, extremely happy.

Then he fainted in the pile of corpses at exhaustion.
