Yijian City is the same as Henglus City.
It is on the left bank of the Talas River.
The two cities are only thirty miles apart.
The difference is that Yijian City is not a real city, but a large village by the Talas River.
Henglus City It’s one on the northern line of the Silk Road It is an extremely important transportation hub.
It is bounded by the vast desert to the north, blocked by the Qianquan Mountains to the east, and Yaoyao Kill Water to the west.
It occupies an extremely important strategic position.
If the Shi Kingdom sends troops to garrison here, the sudden cavalry in the north will be deployed.
People cannot go south.
Late at night, Zhao Ziliang and his team quietly approached Yijian City on the Talas River, stopping three miles away.
The cool breeze blowing from the Talas River on the right cooled Zhao Ziliang and the soldiers a little.
The weather is good tonight, and the moonlight shines on the earth like a silver dress.
The various tents and wooden houses that line the city are clearly visible under the moonlight.
Zhao Ziliang was riding a horse and standing on a hillside, holding the reins and looking at Yijiancheng three miles away.
After a long time, Wang Can trotted over on horseback and reported: "General, we have already investigated.
There are no sentries around, and we have not found any broken troops who escaped from Henglus City."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Take a few people to Yijian City to check out the situation and find out the specific location and defense situation of the thousand Tuqishi troops stationed there.
The speed should be faster.
If a large number of broken troops escape, they will definitely It will alert the garrisoned troops.
Also, be careful not to be discovered."
"Nuo" Wang Can agreed, waving to the few Ye Bushou behind him, and after dismounting, he led them quietly toward Yijiancheng.
There is no city wall in Yijian City, and it is a concentrated residence of some herdsmen living here.
For nomadic people, settling somewhere will expose a great weakness, because they do not know how to build cities, defend cities, and are not good at There were street battles in the city, so Zhao Ziliang was able to conquer several cities in a few days so easily.
The existence of the city greatly weakened the fighting capacity of the nomads.
If they did not have a city, but continued to live in pursuit of water and grass, migrating from time to time, it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty army to find them for a decisive battle, and almost all of them They are all cavalry.
Under such circumstances, they can run away at any time even if they cannot win.
It is because the Mongols occupied the Central Plains, lived in the city, and gave up the natural advantages of the nomadic people that they were beaten to death by the Ming Dynasty.
When they retreated to the northern grasslands, the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with them.
It can be seen from this that, If a nation gives up its own characteristics, it is not far from extinction.
Half an hour later, Wang Can led his men back and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "General, a thousand Tuqishi troops stationed are camped near the Talas River.
There is a tall wooden structure in the middle of the city.
The house was built and guarded by soldiers.
The subordinates were worried about being discovered and did not dare to get too close.
However, I think Princess Jiaohe must live there."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and ordered: "Wei Meng, I'll give you a hundred men.
While I, the general, lead people to attack the enemy camp, you lead people to kill the guards around the big house in the middle and look for the Sulu Khan."
But to find out the whereabouts of Ashina, we must ensure her safety."
Wei Meng saluted on horseback and said, "Nuo" After leading Wang Can and some night cavalry to slowly disappear into the night, Zhao Ziliang placed the horse's spear on the victory hook and took out the precious eagle bow from the bow pouch.
Seeing this, the soldiers also took out their bows and arrows.
Before launching an attack or charging into the enemy's formation, these Tang troops, under the training of Zhao Ziliang, had long been accustomed to using bows and arrows as the first attack.
They did not switch to long weapons as quickly as possible until they rushed into the enemy's formation.
This tactic could fully Give the enemy the greatest blow and shock.
Zhao Ziliang raised his right hand and pointed forward quietly, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and the horse moved forward.
After a few steps, it began to canter.
The soldiers behind him also began to follow him to drive the horse forward, adjusting the team in the process. shape, maintaining neat movements and queues.

In the battle of cold weapons, no matter how powerful an individual is, the destructive power caused is extremely limited, but the army's group attack is completely different, especially the army with strict military discipline.
In the battle, the destructive power of the neatly formed army is exerted It is definitely much more destructive than an army with a loose formation.
This is because an army with a neat formation will use its strength in one place when attacking, but an army with a loose formation or no formation cannot do this, or in other words Their destructive power will be spread out due to their loose formation.
Jogging gently, the sound was not very loud as there were deep weeds on the ground.
When the army was only two miles away from Yijian City, Zhao Ziliang and the cavalry behind him began to speed up, speed up, and speed up again.
This process was very fast, and there was a distance of nearly a thousand meters.
However, after the cavalry picked up their speed, they rushed forward in less than a minute.
The location of the enemy's military camp is very conspicuous.
It is right on the river.
In fact, it cannot be said to be a military camp, because the nomads have never had the habit of defense.
Therefore, this camp not only has no watchtowers, but also no arrow towers, fences, horses, trenches, etc.
The defensive facilities are all made of cowhide tents.
"Fire the arrow!"
Zhao Ziliang roared, and without stopping, arrows flew out, one after another.
The soldiers kept shooting arrows into the camp not far away.
The first group of Tuqishi soldiers who had just heard the noise and ran out of the tent were immediately destroyed.
Most of them were missed by the flying arrows.
Killing, a few of the shot head-hugging rats ran away, and screams and screams continued to be heard.
After shooting three consecutive arrows, Zhao Ziliang and the cavalry behind him had arrived at the camp.
"Torch" Zhao Ziliang shouted as he rushed towards the camp, pulled the reins, and started to gallop around the camp.
The knights behind heard the order, and those with torches immediately threw their torches towards the tents in the camp.
As the army ran around the camp, many tents in the camp had torches thrown, and other tents in the camp that had just been awakened The Tuqishi soldiers ran out of the tent in panic.
The entire camp quickly burned down.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ziliang immediately rode his horse and rushed into the camp.
Taking advantage of the enemy's panic and lack of any resistance was the best time to rush in.
"Killing" Zhao Ziliang on horseback raised his horse's spear and struck forward twice.
The two Tuqishi soldiers who had just ran out of a tent were instantly chopped to the ground.
After rushing into the camp, the entire camp was in chaos.
Zhao Ziliang led his cavalrymen to shuttle between the tents, killing everyone they saw, especially those disheveled cavalrymen who had just ran out of the tents.
Soldiers were killed without any defense, just as easily as killing a chicken.
Zhao Ziliang waved his horse to kill the enemy soldiers, and shouted: "Li Siye, Wang Can, and Chu Ge, each of you lead a team of men and horses to charge back and forth.
Don't let any of them go.
Zheng San, take people to the stables and let all the horses go
.
" "
"promise" Without horses, the Tuqishi people have lost their fighting power.
Even if they can run with two legs, they cannot run with four legs.
Even if these Tuqishi people want to escape, they will soon be overtaken and killed by the Tang army cavalry on horseback.
This is The reason why Zhao Ziliang asked Zheng San to go to the stables to release all the horses was because those horses could only be recovered if they were released, so there was no need to worry about this.
After the chaos in the camp, Tuqishi soldiers were killed one after another.
Some people actually thought of running to the stables to escape on horseback, but they did not expect that Zheng San led his people to the stables first and let all the horses run away.
The Tuqishi soldiers couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
Zhao Ziliang led the retinue of cavalry and Li Siye and others into several teams, and charged back and forth in the camp.
All the Tuqi Shi soldiers who could still move were beheaded.
There was blood and corpses everywhere, but there were screams.

Zhao Zi's conscience originally disapproved of Fumeng Lingcha's order to allow the soldiers to act wantonly in Henglus City, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, in the midst of the killing, this I had to vent my unhappiness and got out of hand.
Zhao Ziliang didn't know how long he had been killing.
He only felt blood spattering on his face and body.
He didn't stop until he could no longer see a living enemy within his sight.
The surrounding soldiers were stunned.
Looking at him blankly, he realized that the ground was already covered with a layer of corpses, all of which were caused by Tuqi Shiren.
Doing something often can really make people numb, such as killing people.
In the past, it was not an easy thing to take away a person's life.
Of course, it does not mean that human life is so tenacious that it cannot be done. , but now for Zhao Ziliang, killing is as simple as killing a chicken.
With a flick of the horse in his hand, several lives can be taken away in an instant.
"General, are you okay?"
Li Siye stepped forward and asked with concern.
Zhao Ziliang exhaled, wiped the blood on his face, and shook his head: "It's okay.
Zheng San will lead his people to stay to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded."
"No" Zheng San agreed.
Zhao Ziliang led Li Siye, Chu Ge, Wang Can and others to the door of the largest wooden house in the city.
All the guards here had been killed by Wei Meng, and Wei Meng's people also took over the place at this time.
The light in the house came out from the door, and the door was illuminated very brightly.
Zhao Ziliang jumped off the horse, and behind him, Li Siye and others also dismounted.
Zhao Ziliang saw a tall chief minister standing at the door with a sword in his hand and two soldiers.
When the chief minister saw Zhao Ziliang and others coming, he immediately bowed down and said, "Meet the general."
Zhao Ziliang was about to say something casually to let them get up, but found that this person looked familiar, and soon remembered who this person was.
Was he no longer the bandit leader of the Desert Storm Bandits?
So he asked: "Yundingtian, you When did it become longer?”
Yundingtian didn't expect that Zhao Ziliang would still remember him, and said quickly: "Last year, when the Tuqi Shiren attacked Diazhuang City, I made some contributions to Wang Xiaowei's sentinel detection team, so he was promoted to a higher position.
Thank you general for the promotion."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "I did not promote you.
You will be promoted only if you have merit.
Being a leader in the sentry team is comparable to being a team leader in other battalions.
Not bad, Wei Meng."
Yundingtian replied: "Colonel Wei was injured just now and is dressing the wound nearby."
"Oh, you're still injured.
Let's go over and take a look."
Wei Meng had just bandaged his wound.
When he saw Zhao Ziliang approaching, he immediately said in unison: "General" Zhao Ziliang looked at the wound he had bandaged and asked, "How is it?
Is the injury serious?"
Wei Meng smiled and said: "It's okay, just scratch some skin."
"Okay, since there's nothing wrong, let's go meet Princess Jiaohe":
