Five miles west of Yuchuan City, Tuyuhun Camp.
From the outside, this military camp was huge and heavily guarded. There were bonfires inside and teams of patrolling soldiers.
However, this camp was actually an empty one. Only a small number of people were stationed inside, and most of the tents in the camp were empty.
Fushan Khagan led a large group of men and horses to lurk outside the camp, waiting for the Tang army to rob the camp at night and ambush them.
Fushan Khagan's plan was indeed very good. Tuyuhun was a small country, and under the threat of Tubo, he had brought almost half of the country's military forces with him.
The Tang army was indeed powerful. They seized Yuchuan City overnight and forced Songdu Zanpu to flee in panic. Fushan Khagan was shocked. Although his 10,000 troops were the vanguard, he didn't want to fight head-on with the Tang army. He had no choice but to fight with the Tibetan army behind him.
Khagan Fushan had also read some Han military books, so he had no choice but to come up with this method of luring the enemy into robbing the camp and waiting for the rabbit.
The night outside Yuchuan City was cold. This large group of people was far away from the camp, and they couldn't start a fire to keep warm. Their clothes weren't thick either, so they were shivering from the cold.
Fushan Khagan only hoped that the Tang army would arrive soon. However, after waiting for the whole night, they were all tired and did not even see the shadow of the Tang army.
"Ah Chi!" Khagan Fushan sneezed, his body trembling.
"Report! The Tang Army is here to rob the camp!" A messenger rushed over and said excitedly. After saying that, he wiped his snot.
"How many people have come?"
"More than a thousand people, all cavalry!"
"Only a thousand?"
Khagan Fushan was slightly surprised, but he also became excited.
"All troops, listen up. Kill your way back to the camp and wipe out the Tang army!”Khagan Fushan raised his saber and shouted, then sneezed again.
It was the Dragon Troop Battalion of the Dragon Armored Cavalry that had charged into the Tuyuhun camp. Although there were only a thousand of them, it did not take long for them to kill the remaining Tuyuhun soldiers and even set the camp on fire.
The soldiers of the Dragon Ben Camp were setting fire to the camp when they heard the sound of horses galloping and shouting. Fushan Khagan had led the Tuyuhun army back and surrounded the camp, closing in.
The Commanding Officer of the Dragon Ben Camp had a solemn expression as he loudly ordered,"All soldiers, listen up!”
On a hill not far from Tuyuhun's camp, Guo Ziyi and Taba Feng were wearing Mingguang Armor and riding their horses with their sabers as they stared ahead. Behind the two of them, Long Feng and Long Zan's two battalions were lying in ambush, a total of two thousand people.
In the Tuyuhun camp, smoke and dust rose as the soldiers of the Dragon Troop battled with the Tuyuhun army.
Seeing that the Tuyuhun army led by Fushan Khagan was gradually closing in on the camp, Guo Ziyi turned to Taba Feng and said,"Big brother, it's almost dawn. We should go greet that Fushan Khagan.”
Guo Ziyi and Taba Feng were using the anti-encirclement tactic, waiting for Fushan Khan to lead the troops to surround the Tang army that was attacking the camp!
Taba Feng sneered and raised the flag in his hand.""Dragon Armored Cavalry, listen up! Charge into Tuyuhun's camp and capture Fushan Khagan alive!”
Shouts of battle rang out, and the sound of horse hooves thundered. Long Feng and Long Zan's troops were covered in dust as they charged towards Tuyuhun's camp!
"Not good, Great Khan. The Tang Army is coming from behind us again!”A Tuyuhun soldier reported to Fushan Khagan, who was behind the army.
"What?" Khagan Fushan's heart trembled.
"How many people?"
"About two thousand people."
Khagan Fushan relaxed slightly."The rear troops will immediately turn around and face the enemy!"
In the Tuyuhun camp, the soldiers of the Dragon Legion Battalion were fighting desperately. Suddenly, they saw the flag of the Tang Army flying over from afar. They were all excited and their morale was greatly boosted.
"Soldiers of the Dragon Troop Battalion, Long Feng and Long Zan Battalion are here. Let's charge out and meet up with them!”The captain of the Dragon Ben Battalion shouted.
Although Tuyuhun was also a cavalryman, his combat power could not be compared to Taba Feng's Dragon Armored Cavalry. Coupled with the fact that they were being attacked from both sides, their morale plummeted.
As expected, after the Long Feng and Long Zan battalions charged out of the battlefield, the situation immediately reversed!
The formations and tactics of the Dragon Armored Cavalry were very particular. Each row was formed by dozens of cavalrymen, forming a charging wave. At a distance, the cavalrymen would first use their crossbows to kill the enemy. When he got closer, he would use the spear in his hand to stab and kill the enemy. When he was in front of the enemy, he would use the barrier blade at his waist to engage in close combat and kill the enemy at close range. The soldiers and horses of the Dragon Armored Army were all clad in armor. Ordinary swords and sabers could not hurt them. Their defense was extremely strong. Every wave had these three heavy strikes. After hundreds of charges, there wasn't a single opponent who wasn't knocked over by the impact. They were completely routed!
Although the Tuyuhun Cavalry under Khagan Fushan were also brave and good at fighting, they were no match for the Dragon-Armored Cavalry. They were either shot to death by crossbows or stabbed to death by spears. In the end, there were even machetes to serve them. They were beaten up until they wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves, suffering heavy casualties. The Dragon Armored Cavalry soldiers became more and more courageous as they fought, each of them like ferocious tigers descending from the mountain and flood dragons entering the sea. Although there were only three thousand of them, it didn't take long for them to kill more than half of Fushan Khagan's army of ten thousand!
Khagan Fushan was protected by a group of soldiers and was struggling to hold on. He was also shocked."Which Tang army is this? Although they are few in number, how can they fight so well?”
Guo Ziyi and Taba Feng immediately stopped behind the array. Their expressions were solemn at first, but they slowly relaxed.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Taba Feng smiled and asked Guo Ziyi,"What do you think your chances of winning are?”
"100%!"
After more than an hour, the sun slowly appeared on the horizon.
The sounds of killing in Tuyuhun's camp finally calmed down. The ground within the camp was densely covered with corpses. All the tents in the camp had been burned to ashes, and black smoke rose from the ashes.
Under the protection of the guards, Fushan Khan broke out of the encirclement of the Tang army with less than 2,000 horses.
In less than two hours, the 3,000 Dragon Armored Cavalry had killed 8,000 Tuyuhun Cavalry, causing the vanguard to lose all their armor and weapons. They had also seized countless weapons, supplies, food, and horses. This kind of powerful combat strength made Guo Ziyi admire him.
The Tang soldiers began to clean up the battlefield. Guo Ziyi and Taba Feng immediately stopped outside the camp.
"Big brother, it's a pity that we still let that Fushan Khagan escape.”Guo Ziyi looked at Taba Feng and said.
Taba Feng thought for a moment and said,""Letting him escape might not be a bad thing.”
"What do you mean, Big Brother?" Guo Ziyi was startled.”
"As I see it, Fushan Khagan was forced to send troops this time, not willingly. After this battle, he would probably be filled with regret. He would be stuck between the Great Tang and the Tibetans.”Taba Feng said slowly.
Guo Ziyi nodded." Yes, our battle really hurt him."”
Taba Feng smiled." If that's the case, we can go and fight for that Fu Shan."”
"Big Brother wants to persuade them to surrender?"
