Since the attack on Basimi was not notified to the imperial court and did not receive support from the emperor and the imperial court, it was Zhao Ziliang's unauthorized sending of troops.
Therefore, Zhao Ziliang could not send a letter to Wang Zhongsi asking him to order Shuofang's army to cooperate.
There were a total of 6,000 troops in Mobei City. , he stayed The next 1,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, together with 3,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry, set out from Mobei City and marched all the way to Basimi's territory.
They met 3,000 people led by Absi and others 200 miles east of Wudqian Mountain.
The soldiers and horses gathered together, and a total of 10,000 infantry were riding towards Wudeqian Mountain.
The large-scale appearance of the Tang army near Wu Deqiang was quickly discovered by Bashmi's sentinel.
When the news reached Bashmi's tent, Jiediyishi Khan and his men were shocked.
Jiediyishi could The Khan immediately ordered all troops and horses near the Yazhang An emergency assembly was carried out, and a total of 18,000 cavalry were obtained.
In other parts of Bashmi's territory, there were more than 15,000 cavalry that could not be gathered in a short time.
Jieduishi Khan had to lead these 18,000 cavalry.
Qianqi fought against the Tang army.
The tribal chiefs of Basimi were worried about misunderstandings, so they sent a centurion and a hundred troops to the Tang army to inquire about their intention.
However, they did not expect that only a few injured people would escape.
Now they no longer had any doubts, and Jie Tiao Ishi Khan immediately led his troops to fight.
Regardless of the purpose of the Tang army, sending troops to fight was the only option.
"Master Marquis, we are only thirty miles away from Wu Deqian," Bo Lehan rode back to report.
The Turks had been here after Zhao Ziliang joined forces with the Mobei tribes to attack last time.
It had only been a few months and he naturally knew that this place was not far from Ba Ximi's tent.
He immediately ordered: "The infantry is in the center and the cavalry is in the middle."
The friendly troops are on the left, and the friendly troops are on the right.
They form a formation, separated by a hundred steps, and advance slowly."
"Follow orders" Following the order, the armies began to put away the long snake formation and move forward in a large-scale square formation of left, center and right.
The infantry of the middle army was divided into the front army and the rear army, with two thousand people in the front and two in the back.
Thousands of people, with the command center in the middle.
Zhao Ziliang's general flags and military banners are here.
Three hundred cavalry guard the command center.
The main purpose of Zhao Ziliang's troops this time was not to fight Bashmi.
The role of the Tang army was to contain Bashmi's army from the front.
The main ones responsible for attacking were the strong Uighur army of Peluo and the Wuli eastern Geluolu army. , they will come from the north and northwest respectively.
Since Zhao Ziliang's Tang army and the Hou Turk army had a total of 10,000 infantry and cavalry, they attracted all of Bashmi's attention, and the powerful Pei Luo and Wu Li took this opportunity to lead their troops to sneak to the north of Udqian Mountain.
The Tang Army and the Later Turkic Army were marching in a neat fish-scale formation towards Udqian Mountain.
A probing horse came to report: "Basimi's army of 18,000 horsemen is approaching our army.
It is only twenty miles away."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziliang immediately reined in his horse and stopped.
At the same time, he raised his right hand and ordered the soldiers to shout: "The whole army stops advancing!"
"The whole army stopped advancing" There were two "booms", and with the sound of neat footsteps stepping on the ground, the whole army stopped, and there was some dust and grass clippings on the ground.
Zhao Ziliang turned his head and observed the surrounding situation, pointed to a slightly higher ground nearby and ordered: "The entire army moves to that high ground.
The friendly troops and left cavalry will go first, and the infantry and rear troops will move in order.
No fighting is allowed. , Violators will be immediately beheaded without mercy.”
As Zhao Ziliang's order was issued, the Tang Army cavalry and the Turkic cavalry each turned accordingly and began to move to a slightly higher ground next to them.
Since the command objectives were clear and the orders were issued clearly, the seven thousand cavalry quickly completed the turn and arrived.
Highlands.
After the cavalry arrived at the designated location, they could provide cover for the infantry.
The infantry's task of rearing was completed at this time.
Under Zhao Ziliang's order, the front army changed to the rear army, and the rear army changed to the front army.

They immediately turned back and moved to higher ground in an orderly manner.
Moving forward at a trot, as soon as they reached the predetermined position and turned again to face the Udqian Mountain, Basimi's 18,000 cavalry were already in sight.
The smoke and dust in the sky and the yellow grass flying in the air caused the vibrations on the ground to reach the high ground, but the expressions of every soldier of the Tang Army did not change at all.
It was not like they had never seen an army of this size in the Mobei Grassland.
Nowadays, the national power of the Tang Dynasty is one of the best in the entire world, and the combat effectiveness of the army is also one of the best.
This is the source of the Tang army's soldiers' self-motivation, and the fearlessness is completely reflected on their faces.
Basimi's army is slowly moving forward.
They are arranged in a loose formation.
The military formation is completely irregular.
There are also many post-Turkic cavalry who have just been arranged in the army.
These post-Turkic cavalry have no sense of belonging at all, so they The Ximi army looks very awkward.
If there were not these captured post-Turkic cavalry in the middle, maybe the combat effectiveness of the Basimi army would be stronger.
It is because these post-Turkic cavalry who do not yet have a sense of belonging are mixed in, but instead The combat effectiveness was reduced.
"Report!"
A cavalryman came on horseback to detect the sentry.
"Informing the Khan, the Tang army stopped at Tumen Mound twenty miles away and set up their military formation there.
"Oh" Jiedi Yishi Khan was a little surprised.
Didn't the Tang army come to attack?
We have reached the door of the house now, but we stopped.
Just when Khan Jiediyishi was wondering, a shaman next to him said: "Khan, the people of the Central Plains have always been good at guarding.
They came from afar and their combat power was somewhat depleted.
They probably wanted to set up a military formation to rest and let the army Restore combat strength and then fight decisively with our army."
Jie Di Yi Shi Khan nodded when he heard this, "What the shaman said is true, so let's immediately send our troops to kill them before their combat effectiveness has fully recovered, and catch them off guard."
The shaman quickly stopped him: "Kang, wait a minute.
You must not be impulsive at this time.
Wait until I ask."
After speaking, the shaman asked the sentry: "How many soldiers and horses does the Tang army have?"
"The Tang army had 3,000 fine cavalry, 4,000 infantry, and more than 3,000 cavalry from the remnants of the post-Turkic army, for a total of 10,000 infantry."
After hearing this, the shaman looked at Jiediyishi Khan and said: "Khan, the situation is clear.
The Tang army has infantry and cavalry and occupies high ground.
If we take the initiative to attack, they have geographical advantages, and the Tang army has sophisticated and sharp weapons and good protection."
They are thick and solid.
Although their strength is 8,000 less than our army, their combat power is much higher than ours.
Our army cannot gain any advantage in attacking at this time."
After hearing this, Jiediyishi Khan said angrily: "Then what should we do?
We have to wait until their fighting strength has recovered.
Wouldn't it be even more uncertain for us to fight again?"
The shaman shook his head and said: "Khan, since Tang Jun came all the way and was not in a hurry, why should we be anxious?
Moreover, this is our territory.
We are familiar with every plant and tree here and the weather changes, but Tang Jun may not be familiar with it.
This is our advantage.
Besides, isn’t Khan already Have you sent people to summon more soldiers and horses?
When the soldiers and horses scattered in various places arrive, our troops will become more and more powerful.
In addition, the Khan can also send people to contact Pei Luo, the backbone of the Huihe tribe, and the east.
Ge Luolu's fierce strength promised them huge profits and asked them to jointly send troops to deal with the Tang army.

As long as the Tang army is defeated this time, I, Ba Ximi, will definitely be able to intimidate Mobei and frighten the southerners, so that they will not dare to invade us easily.
And I, Ba Ximi, have also established our dominant position in Mobei.
As for the confluence and eastern Ge Luolu, Khan will have plenty of opportunities to deal with them in the future.
Now we don’t We must be eager to fight the Tang Army decisively.
We can test the Tang Army's combat effectiveness first and decide based on the situation.
If the Tang Army's combat effectiveness is strong, we will temporarily avoid its edge, fight while walking, and wait until the Tang Army's combat effectiveness is exhausted.
However, our army's strength Getting stronger and stronger, we will destroy this Tang army in one fell swoop."
Jiediyishi Khan was overjoyed when he heard this, "As expected of the shaman of our clan, he is indeed unparalleled in intelligence and resourcefulness.
So he followed the shaman's method and ordered his subordinates to camp and rest on the spot, and sent out rangers to investigate at all times.
"Tang Jun's Movement" "Yes, Khan" The news that Basimi was shocked and camped twenty miles away soon spread to the Tang army.
After hearing the report from the detective, Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Okay, as expected, Basimi still didn't dare to fight with me.
A fight to the death.
If they launch an attack with all their strength now, we will be in misfortune.
Although we will not lose, we will suffer heavy losses.
Instead, they allowed Uihe and the eastern Geluolu to take advantage and pass on the order.
Each unit could camp on the spot to rest and recuperate, but the horses did not take off their saddles and the men did not take off their armor.
The scout battalion sent out more reconnaissance sentries to investigate Bashmi.
Every move, in addition, we must keep in touch with Gu Li Pei Luo and Wu Li.
If there is any news from them, please inform them at any time."
Brahan agreed: "Follow the order."
After the two sides started to set up camp, the fight between the two reconnaissance sentries became more intense.
They were prepared to prevent each other from spying on the other side, and they also had to send out sentries to constantly spy on the other side.
It can be said that they had to use both shields and spears. .
In just one night, both sides' detectives suffered heavy losses.
In order to spy on the other side, both sides spared no effort.
Therefore, on the invisible battlefield, the two sides fought fiercely, but no one gained the upper hand. .
The next day, in order to make the trick come true, Zhao Ziliang sent one-third of his troops to conduct a tentative attack.
The attackers were all cavalry and moved quickly.
There was only twenty miles between the two sides, and Bathmi's gathering speed was too slow.
When the Tang army's light cavalry arrived, At that time, Bashmi's army had not had time to form a team, and the team was in a mess.
The cavalry of the Tang Army, led by Bolehan, rushed into the left wing of Bashmi's army, destroyed a large area, and withdrew in time after hacking for a while.
The corpses of the Bathimites were left all over the place.
Seeing the casualties of more than 2,000 cavalry, Jiedui Shi Khan was furious and ordered 6,000 cavalry to attack the Tang army's camp regardless of the dissuasion of the shaman of the tribe.
Different from Basimi's army, the Tang army was well-trained and was assembled in only three or four minutes.
When Jiediishi Khan arrived with 6,000 cavalry, the Tang army's infantry was already in a strict formation, and the cavalry They had all mounted their horses and formed up, but the three thousand Turkic soldiers and horses did not have the training quality of the Tang army.
When Basimi's army arrived, they were still slowly forming up on the right wing, and there were even many people in the tent.
