The day after Shen Guang returned to the camp, the Turkic team appeared thirty miles east of the Yiwu army. Li Shouzhong had no intention of sending any army to take the initiative except for necessary scouts.

As Chen Guang said, the Turks were eager to fight. The Yiwu army gave up their strong camp and took the initiative to fight against the Turks in a field. The Turks were not as good as food and supplies, and they would be weaker if they were delayed for one more day. Why bother to worry?

Looking at the Yiwu Army camp in the distance, Ashinazhen sighed long on the horse's back. The closer he got to the Yiwu Army's camp, the more he made the team unprepared, in order to lead the Yiwu Army to take the initiative.

In this wilderness, they might have relied on their large soldiers to entangle the Yiwu army and give him the opportunity to raid the Yiwu army camp. However, they did not expect that Li Shouzhong was as indifferent as a turtle, and at most they would let his scouts harass their cavalry.

Thinking of the lack of two teams of light cavalry when he was camping last night, Ashina really knew that these people were most likely to be in danger, and maybe they were captured by the Tang army. I am afraid that Li Shouzhong would already understand the truth and reality of his place.

"Secret Service, what should we do?"

Hearing the call of his personal guards beside him, Ashina Zhen, who came back to his senses, put away his worries and said confidently, "Get a camp and kill sheep, let our warriors have a good meal. Let's fight the Tang army tomorrow."

With Ashina's real order, cheers soon erupted in the huge marching force. In order to save food as much as possible, even the real Turkic warriors had not eaten meat for a long time.

At night, looking at the crowds of bonfires, the tribesmen happily ate meat and drank horses. Asina was really cold. According to this consumption, the cattle and sheep they carried were not enough to last for three days. If they were allowed to eat, they would have been able to last for a few more days. But behind them, there were no livestock and horses, and they would still die.

Abandoning the meaningless thoughts, Ashinazhen told herself that after this, she could only fight to the end. If more people die and less consume, the rest of the people will survive!

...

In the early morning, Chen Guang woke up from the camp with the sound of drums. At the so-called celebration banquet last night, the generals of the Yiwu army did not drink much. After all, the war was imminent, and even the drunkards knew the priorities. Moreover, Li Shouzhong, the strict governor, drank three or five cups each.

After getting up and putting on armor, Chen Guang and the soldiers left the camp. In the surrounding tents, the Han'er and the Liang family of Kucha were all dressed in neatly with the Mingguang armor sent by Li Shouzhong, and led the war horses in high spirits to greet them.

The war horses had been fed enough, all of which were fat and strong, with soft and shiny hairs. The sunlight also led the horses. There were only 300 armored cavalry in the Yiwu army. His more than 100 cavalry were already considered extremely powerful for Li Shouzhong.

"Eat first!"

Looking at the food bucket picked by the Huotou Army, Chen Guang took the Hu cake and mutton soup, called everyone to eat and drink, and ate three large pieces of Hu cake and a large bowl of mutton soup. Chen Guang wiped his mouth casually before leading his subordinates to the outside of the camp to form an array.

Li Shouzhong did not intend to completely resist the camp and defend, because that would only make the Turks feel desperate and could not see the hope of victory, so it would be difficult to guarantee that these Turks would not go elsewhere.

In the eyes of the Yiwu army, these 30,000 remnants of Turkic troops have become their military achievements and wealth, and no one is willing to give up such great benefits.

The morning breeze in autumn was cold. Looking at the group of Yiwu soldiers coming out of the camp, the sun shone into the direction of the rising sun in the distance, he could see a large black cavalry slowly pressing towards them.

Three thousand to twenty thousand, nearly six times the difference in military strength, but Chen Guang was not afraid, because the Tang Dynasty in this era never won by its number of troops, unlike the Song and Ming Dynasty in later generations, which were tens of thousands and tens of thousands of troops. The Tang army in this era could still proudly call itself "one Han is the Five Barbarians".

Chen Guang led his subordinates to the center of the military formation, in the Tang Dynasty's military formation, and when the two sides fought, the cavalry team was the killer weapon, and they would only go out if the insurgent formation was not supported or the chance of victory had appeared.

On the temporary wooden platform, five-colored flags were erected one after another. The fifty teams of the Yiwu Army were lined up on three sides in front of the camp, with flags flying, distinct armor, and cold swords and guns.

Li Shouzhong wore a black bright light armor and looked extremely solemn. He did not despise Asina the real Turkic army like his subordinates, but he would not underestimate the morale of his own soldiers.

"Governor, the bandit army is ten miles away from our army."

On the observation stage, scouts came to report from time to time. At this time, the soldiers of the Yiwu army who had already arranged the array were already sitting cross-legged, and they would nourish their energy and wait for the next battle.

Chen Guangren was also on the observation platform, and he could see clearly that the Turkic army on the horizon was approaching at a "slow" speed. When the scouts reported for the third time, the vanguard of the Turkic army was less than five miles away, and this was the distance where the cavalry could launch a charge.

With the sound of horns, except for the cavalry, all the twenty-five teams of Yiwu soldiers sitting cross-legged in the outer circle of the military formation stood up. According to the Tang army system, the battle sequence of the soldiers in the Guannei Mansion was composed of crossbowmen, but in the border troops in Anxi Beiting, everyone was a archer.

There were more than ten thousand people, covering the sky. When the Turkic army appeared clearly in Shen Guang's sight, the wooden platform under his feet trembled slightly, because the Turkic cavalry did not hesitate at all, and rushed over like a horse and frantically.

Li Shouzhong had no expression on his face. Such an attack was within his expectations. In addition to the number of people, the Turks were at a disadvantage in terms of military supplies and food logistics. If they did not fill their lives, how could they fight this battle?

"Board and crossbow preparation."

With Li Shouzhong's order, the fang soldiers waved the order flag, and the sound of drums and horns rang out in succession. Chen Guang saw that all the 50 teams of Yiwu soldiers who had stood up began to draw their bows and trunks in front of him were Turkic cavalry rushing like a yellow tide.

At this time, the wooden platform under his feet no longer shook slightly, but trembled violently, as if it was an earthquake.

The impact of thousands of troops swept over like a sea of ​​ups and downs. Chen Guang clearly realized that only an army formed by veterans like the Yiwu Army could face such a cavalry group charge calmly.

The sound of horse hooves and the sound of drums and horns made Chen Guang unable to hear Li Shouzhong's voice clearly. He just watched the five-color flags on the stage waving, and then he saw fifty teams of Yiwu soldiers starting to shoot arrows.

It is said that there are only three shots in the battle, but the soldiers of the Yiwu army shot five rounds of arrows in a short period of time. Shen Guang could clearly see the place where the rain of arrows fell. The Turkic cavalry, like a tide, smashed the waves raised by the Turkic cavalry that came into being like a reef from the sky.
