Daoud was ordered and quickly rushed to the left wing camp with his personal guard to set up troops and horses to set out to fight against the Tang army.
The battle started again.
This was the second battle between the Tang Army and the Dashi Army.
Gao Xianzhi wanted to force the Dashi Army to send out its main force and test the strength of the main force.
However, the chief general of the Dashi Army, Ziad, obviously did not want to be led by Gao Xianzhi.
He walked with his nose in his mouth, so he only sent his servant army to fight.
Cao Lingzhong, the general of the Tang army and the military envoy of Anxi, was obviously not a stickler for rules.
He took advantage of the large food servant army to come out of the camp before they had time to establish a position and launched an attack, and it was an all-out attack.
On this vast flat grassland, 20,000 cavalrymen were already a very large military unit.
They were spread out on the battlefield, with vertical and horizontal lines several miles away.
A huge square formation quickly rushed towards the army of servants.
On the ground The cavalry rushed forward quickly like densely packed ants.
Before the formation of the Dashi servant army was set up, the Tang army launched a charge, which horrified Daoud.
He couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, the Tang people don't follow the rules, how can there be a head-on confrontation?"
He launched an attack without being allowed to open up his position.”
Although the Dashi Kingdom is an Asian country, it has been at war with the Western Byzantine Empire for a long time.
Therefore, its war etiquette and war art are deeply influenced by the West.
Even its war thoughts are similar to Western military thoughts.
They are also similar to Eastern military thoughts and war etiquette. , and the art of war are completely different.
Although it was not the first time for Daoud to fight against the Eastern Army, he did not expect that Cao Lingzhong would not follow the rules and launched an attack before he could gain a foothold.
This completely caught him off guard.
The deputy general next to him eagerly advised: "Your Majesty General, now is not the time to complain.
Please immediately order the entire army to fight."
At this moment, Daoud could only bite the bullet and catch the duck.
He immediately ordered all the ministries of the servant army to fight on the front line.
He himself also drew his machete and took the lead in attacking the Tang army.
The Dashi servant army that had not yet completed their formation had to rush to fight under the orders of the officers of each department.
However, the morale of the army was extremely low at this time.
The servant army was originally unwilling to work for the Dashi man.
Now it is panicking.
Both sides have not yet After the official collision, some of the Sogdian servants began to prepare to escape.
Shocking shouts of killing spread in all directions, and the two armies charged each other.
When they were about a hundred steps apart, the Tang army's servants took the lead in shooting with bows and arrows under Cao Lingzhong's order.
Tens of thousands of arrows flew into the sky, like a dark cloud. shrouded in the sky and instantly fell on the Sogdian Servants Army.
The attack of the arrow rain caused extremely heavy casualties.
The Sogdian Servant Army fell in pieces in front of them.
Before the formal close combat, the Sogdian Servant Army fell.
With such heavy casualties, the weak courage and morale of the other Sogdian servants disappeared instantly.
The people in the first few rows who were not dead immediately reined in their horses and stopped, then turned around and ran back, while the people behind were still there.
Rushing forward, the two sides collided with each other, and the Sogdian servants suddenly became confused.
The Tang army's servants were like tigers and wolves rushing into the flock of sheep, constantly killing the Sogdian servants with spears, scimitars, iron plates and maces. military The Sogdians, who were originally reluctant to work for the Great Food Army, not only had no fighting spirit at all, but also began to flee backwards on a large scale.
A large-scale rout was formed.
Everyone just wanted to survive.
This situation made Daoud furious. , he killed a dozen fleeing Sogdians with a single glance, but still could not prevent the rout.
Ziyad, who was watching the battle from a high platform in the distance, was already livid at this time.

The combat effectiveness of the Sogdian servant army was too poor.
The two sides fled before they formally came into contact with each other.
Such a large-scale and large-area rout, even if the leading troops Even God can't save the general.
Ziad clenched his fists, and after a while he unclenched his fists and sighed: "This battle cannot be fought like this.
Daoud can no longer restore the defeat.
Send an order to Captain Ward to lead his troops to respond, and let Daoud Germany's troops successfully escaped back to the camp, we cannot lose these servants in vain, there is still some use in keeping them."
"Yes, respected general" It takes time to deploy troops.
At this time, the Sogdian servant army was completely defeated.
How could Cao Lingzhong still be polite?
He immediately led his army to cover up and kill him from behind.
The Sogdian servant army suffered countless casualties in one time.
It was a one-sided massacre.
The battlefield was full of Corpses and people with missing arms and legs abounded, and wailing and shouting for death filled the entire battlefield.
The main force of the Great Food Army, Captain Ward, finally came over with the main force.
However, at this time, the 20,000 Sogdian servants suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the rest were still running desperately to the camp.
The Great Food Army's camp was fenced Protected and escaped, the Sogdian servants crowded at the entrance of the camp.
Many people could not squeeze in and had to climb the fence.
Under heavy pushing, a large section of the fence was squeezed.
If Ward, the captain of the Great Food Army, had not come with 10,000 regular cavalry to cover and intercept the Tang Army's pursuit, I am afraid that the Tang Army would have taken advantage of the situation and rushed into the camp.
Although Cao Lingzhong's military ability was nothing outstanding, he acted steadily and did not rush into anything.
When he saw the main force of the food army coming to cover him, he knew that nothing could be done.
He immediately reined in his horse and ordered the army to slow down and move forward.
Retreat in an orderly manner.
These tribal armies in Anxi have fought many battles with the Tang army, and the generals of the Tang army are very easy to command.
This is something that the Dashi army will never be able to control the Sogdian servants in a short period of time and exert their combat power.
After Daoud settled the remaining Sogdian servants with less than 10,000 defeated soldiers, he immediately came to the Chinese army camp with his personal guards.
He was in an extremely embarrassed state at this time, and his helmet was missing.
There were still a few sharp arrows stuck in his armor, and the armor on his chest had been cut open by Tang Jun's sharp blade, but his skin was not damaged.
As soon as Daoud entered the Chinese army's tent, he complained to Ziad: "These Sogdian servants are all a bunch of rabble and have no fighting power at all.
The general must have seen the whole process just now.
The two sides have not contacted each other yet, and the other party only After shooting a hail of arrows, these Sogdian servants were so frightened that some people died and fled in panic.
Even if I am possessed by God, there is nothing I can do."
Ziad understood Daoud's mood very well, but Ziad also knew that although the combat power of these Sogdian servants was really unflattering, with these people here, they could more or less contain some of the Tang army's forces, and they could be used at critical moments.
People act as human shields.
If the main force of the Tang army can be defeated, the role of these Sogdian servants will be revealed when they advance eastward and need to attack the city.
In the face of Daoud's complaints, Ziad comforted him: "General Daoud, calm down.
I also know that the combat effectiveness of these servant armies is poor.
In fact, it is not that their combat effectiveness is poor, but that we have not integrated them well and have not allowed them to truly Surrender from the heart, and they have only surrendered not long ago.
It will take time to use their combat effectiveness.
General Daoud, don’t be anxious.
Although this battle was lost, it was not because of General Daoud’s improper command, but because of the lack of combat effectiveness of the servant army. question" Said next to him saluted Ziad and said: "Dear general, we have lost two games in a row.
Not only has the morale of the servant army been lowered, but the morale and mood of our main force have also been affected.
If this continues, this will I’m afraid it won’t be easy to fight.”
Ziad said: "Based on the current situation, there is still some gap between the combat effectiveness of our servant army and the enemy's servant army, but I believe that the combat effectiveness of our main force will not be worse than that of their servant army.
We cannot use the same method.

A large number of servants are facing the enemy.
If the servants must be used, it is best to fight with the wind.
Only after the battle is won can they be sent out to chase down the Tang army."
The generals and officials of the food army in the big tent all agreed.
As for the next action, it depends on how Ziad arranges it.
Someone suggested: "Your Excellency General, now that the main force of the Tang Army is here, should we send another army to bypass this garrison and attack the city behind them?
The Tang Army has always liked to engage in such conspiracies.
I think we might as well learn from it."
Learn from the Tang army and let them taste the evil consequences themselves."
Ziad was indeed a little moved at first after hearing this, but then he rejected the proposal and shook his head: "What you just mentioned is a method of warfare that belongs to Eastern military thought, but we are not very familiar with the tactics of Eastern military thought.
Familiarity, use our shortcomings to deal with their strengths, do you think this is a wise move?
Tang Guo People would not expect or not take precautions in advance.
Once the Tang Army is prepared, the army we send out is very likely to fall into the trap of the Tang Army.
I don’t think it is necessary to do this.
If we want to defeat the Tang Army, we can only defeat the Tang Army from the front.
Defeat them and make them convinced of their defeat, and the resistance to our advancement eastward will be much smaller in the future.”
More than half of the people thought that Ziad was right and all agreed, except for a few people who remained silent.
Ziad added: "We can't always be led by the Tang army.
Let's take the initiative to attack tomorrow morning and test the combat effectiveness of the main force of the Tang army."
"good" The next morning, the Tang Army was about to continue its attack from the right wing.
This time, it was planning to directly attack the camp on the left side of the Dashi Army, which had suffered heavy losses.
Yesterday's battle had caused heavy losses in the camp on the left side of the Dashi Army.
Gao Xianzhi planned to eat it first.
This Sogdian servant army then The right wing posed a threat to the main force of the central army of the Dashi Army, and only half of the ten thousand barbarians came out of the camp.
Gao Xianzhi received the news at the Chinese army's tent, "Report to the general, there are soldiers and horses coming out of the main camp of the central army of the Dashi Army.
Because the opponent has not completely left the camp, I don’t know the specific strength of the troops.”
"Oh, this time the food army can't help but launch an attack first, maybe it's because I don't want to be led by the nose by this general."
Gao Xianzhi said and stretched out his hand to stroke his long beard.
Liang Zai, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, said: "If we don't know the number of troops the other party will send this time, it will be difficult for our army to dispatch troops and generals."
Gao Xianzhi smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this?
Where is Zhao Chongxun?"
Zhao Chongxun came out and stood in the middle of the tent, clasping his fists and saying: "The general is here."
"I order you to lead my troops to fight against the food army."
"Take orders" This time, the Shule army led by Zhao Chongxun had 5,000 infantry and cavalry, including 2,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry.
If the opponent's strength exceeds twice that of the Shule Army, the outcome of the battle will be in suspense.
If the opponent's strength does not exceed 10,000, Gao Xianzhi is not worried.
However, just in case, Gao Xianzhi added: "Jia Chongguan, You lead the transfer army to be on standby on time, ready to attack at any time to support Zhao Chongxun."
Jia Chongguan immediately cupped his fists and said: "I obey":
