Even the central army where the Great Emir and Faisal Abbas were located was attacked by the Tang army.

The Arab cavalry stationed there could only circle around their commander and keep their horses moving.

But in terms of impact, it is inferior.

This passivity once hindered the Grand Emir's ability to issue orders.

He watched helplessly as the Tang army slaughtered people and galloped ferociously all over the battlefield.

The smell of blood brought Emile back to reality.

He found it hard to accept that his army was divided by the Tang army so quickly, and even he was in crisis.

The military orders issued one after another failed to reverse the downward trend.

Even Faisal Abbas, who was usually calm, felt powerless and despair.

Only when the real clash came did they realize the gap between them and the Tang army.

This gap exists in all aspects, from the bravery of the generals, to the quality of the soldiers, to the weapons and armor!
What's more, the Arab cavalry was far less than that of the Tang cavalry.

The Arab cavalry had been running around all night long.

This is destined to be an asymmetric battle!
Seeing the Tang Dynasty's general flag flying across the battlefield, the Emir knew that it was the flag of the Heavenly General.

The bravest man on the battlefield was General Tian, ​​and the Arab cavalry were so frightened that they were defeated.

The Great Emir still held out a glimmer of hope.

He was waiting for Humam Hussein to meet the Heavenly General.

Let the brave Humam Hussein kill the general and save the situation.

The Emir's wish could not be fulfilled. Humam Hussein, the most powerful general of the Caliphate and the commander of the Caliphate Guards, was still some distance away from Li Xuan during the conflict.

Humam Hussein had always wanted to fight with Li Xuan and take his head.

However, his starting point was too far away from Li Xuan, and before he could rush to Li Xuan, his team had been divided by the Tang army's light cavalry.

Although Humamu Hussein was very brave and attacked left and right, defeating the Tang army one after another, even the Yajiang and Langjiang of the Tang army were no match for Humamu Hussein.

But the power of one person is destined to be weak.

Zhao Chong'e, the governor of Suiye, saw that Humamu Hussein was constantly killing and wounding the brave warriors of the Tang army and his cavalry was rampant, so he decided to kill him.

He was a man of courage and was not convinced by Humam Hussain's bravery. He thought he had the skills to kill Humam Hussain.

"Brown-eyed thief, take your life!"

Zhao Chongye squeezed his horse's belly, thrust his spear forward, and attempted to thrust it out with great force.

"Let General Tian come and fight me!"

Humam Hussein was very angry because he could not get through the blockade.

When he saw Zhao Chongye coming to kill him, he took out all his anger on Zhao Chongye.

He raised his spear and swung it upward, meeting Zhao Chong'e's spear.

"clang!"

"Pfft!"

With a sound of metal, Zhao Chongye's spear was knocked away by Humam Hussein's spear.

Then Humam Hussein stabbed suddenly, directly piercing through Zhao Chongye's armor, and blood flowed down along the spear blade.

Zhao Chong's eyes bulged and he fell off his horse unwillingly.

The general is bound to die in battle!
Since Tianbao, there have been many examples of Tang Dynasty's main generals being killed in battle.

It was bad luck for Zhao Chongzhen to meet Humamu Hussein, the bravest warrior of the Arab Empire.

The next mission can only be passed on to other generals of the Tang Dynasty.

"General!"

Zhao Chongye's personal guards never expected that their general would be easily killed by Humamu Hussein. They were furious and rushed towards Humamu Hussein without caring about their lives.

"You little ant, how pathetic and ridiculous! Call the Heavenly General to come!"

Humam Hussein charged on horseback, the spear in his hand wielding fiercely and violently.

The personal guards were unable to stop them and fell off their horses one after another.

"What? He killed General Zhao!"

Lai Zhen, the deputy garrison commander of Suiye, was heartbroken when he learned that Zhao Chongxie had died in battle.

Zhao Chongye was not only his father's friend, but also treated him very well, which is why he was able to hold the position of deputy envoy of the garrison today.

Even though Lai Zhen was a resourceful and brave man, he couldn't help but show his courage and led his cavalry to attack Humamu Hussein to avenge Zhao Chongzhen.

"Another person is here to die!"

After Humamu Hussein killed a Tang cavalryman, he snorted disdainfully and rode his horse straight to meet Chen.

Lai Zhen held a spear and aimed it at Humam Hussein's chest with a fierce look in his eyes.

The two horses met each other and suddenly thrust forward like dragons emerging from the sea.

"clang!"

Lai Zhen's stab was extremely fierce and swift. Once it hit, it would break the armor.

Lai Zhen was able to hold an important position in Anxi Protectorate not only because of his father, but also because he was outstanding.

He was both brave and resourceful, and based on his bravery alone, there were few people in the Anxi Protectorate who could rival him.

But he met Humam Hussein, a fierce general who could defeat ten opponents with his own force.

When Lai Zhen thrust his spear forward, Humam Hussein blocked it by swinging his spear.

A huge force came, and Lai Ting's body staggered, and the lance almost slipped out of his hand.

Looking at the base of his hand, it was already cracked.

Fortunately, Lai Ting's spear was powerful enough, and he controlled the distance between his horse and Humamu Hussein, making it difficult for Humamu Hussein to counterattack after blocking Lai Ting's spear.

Horses never passed by Lai Zhen.

After a sprint between the horses of both sides, Humam Hussein calmly reined in his horse and wanted to charge again!
Lai Zhen gritted his teeth and turned his horse around in defiance after the warhorse slowed down.

He also wanted to compete with Humam Hussein, even if he would be killed by Humam Hussein like Zhao Chongye.

However, Hao Tingyu on the battlefield felt something was wrong. From dozens of steps away, he observed Humam Hussein's bravery.

In the entire Tang Dynasty coalition, apart from their invincible General Li, perhaps only the "divine general" Li Siye could cope with Humamu Hussein's fierce attack.

It was obvious that Lai Ting's blood was boiling. If he rushed forward again, he would surely be knocked off his horse by Humam Hussein.

Thinking of this, Hao Tingyu killed the surrounding Arab cavalry with a knife, and then took out a bow and arrow at a suitable position.

Like Wei Boyu, Hao Tingyu also came from a military background. He was brave and aggressive, and had extraordinary archery skills.

However, Hao Tingyu did not have the same luck as Wei Boyu, and did not achieve great success in the Battle of Suiye River.

"call out……"

The bow was drawn and the arrow was shot straight at the side of Humam Hussein's neck.

"clang!"

"Rat!"

Humam Hussein had a strong sixth sense. When Hao Tingyu drew his bow and arrow, he felt it and used his spear to block the arrow.

Although he was cursing, he became even angrier when he saw Hao Tingyu draw his arrow again. He immediately gave up on Lai Zhen and turned his horse to kill Hao Tingyu.

This arrow was again deflected by Humam Hussein.

Hao Tingyu knew that Humam Hussein was capable, so there was no need for him to confront him head-on, and he turned his horse and left.

Their victory was already decided. After another hour or two, the Tang army would launch a collective siege and would surely overwhelm Humam Hussein and his personal guards.

Lai Zhen also came to his senses and realized that he was no match for Humam Hussein.

This Arab general was like a wild beast, fearless and ready to devour anyone he chose.

Humam Hussein was surrounded by hundreds of armored soldiers, and this force was very difficult to deal with.

Lai Zhen first commanded the cavalry to eliminate other Arab cavalry, and then took a defensive stance against Humam Hussein.

Humamu Hussein was unable to catch up with Hao Tingyu for a while and could only vent his anger on other soldiers of the Tang coalition forces.

He no longer had time to give orders and just wanted to break through from this point.

About a quarter of an hour later, something surprising happened to Humam Hussein.

It turned out that the Tang army's knights who were besieging them were separated, and a group of cavalry wearing bright armor poured in.

There were flags fluttering and large banners conspicuous.

It was exactly the Tang army banner that Humamu Hussein had always dreamed of.

At the forefront of the Tang army, a heroic general without a helmet rushed towards a Arab cavalryman as soon as he appeared. After the horses missed each other, the body of the Arab soldier was impaled on the blade of his spear.

Although Humam Hussein was shocked by this scene, he was even more excited.

What’s the use of having great strength? He will definitely use the spear in his hand to take Li Xuan’s head.

"Who is this thief who dares to kill my general?"

Li Xuan threw the corpse off the spear blade and shouted towards the battlefield.

He was very angry when he heard that Zhao Chongye had been killed.

This is his main general!
The first commander-in-chief to die in battle since he took charge of the Western Regions.

Although he knew that swords and guns were merciless on the battlefield, he heard that the Arab general was brave and was determined to kill him to avenge Zhao Chongye.

The Tang army in this camp was originally depressed by the death of Zhao Chongye, but now with the arrival of General Li, they are full of fighting spirit again.

"General Tian, ​​if you are a warrior, fight me!"

Humamu Hussein glared and held his spear in his hand, shouting and charging towards Li Xuan.

He spoke in Arab language, which Li Xuan could not understand, but he understood what Humam Hussein meant from his actions and expressions.

This is a suicide!

Even Humam Hussein's personal guards found it difficult to catch up for a while.

Li Xuan was not willing to be outdone, and rode his horse towards Humam Hussein. He also rushed out from the personal guards, alone on his horse.

The battlefield was clearly filled with the roar of thousands of soldiers and horses, but it seemed to have suddenly fallen into silence.

In Humam Hussein's eyes, there was only Li Xuan and everything around him was nothing.

In Li Xuan's eyes, Humam Hussein was just one of the many dead souls of his subordinates.

Everyone else around, whether they were from the Tang coalition or the Arab army, held their breath.

When the two sides were still thirty steps apart, Li Xuan threw his javelin from a distance.

"call out!"

The iron spear flew out and broke through the sky.

Humam Hussain's whole body was covered with fur.

Just as he was about to dodge, he found that the javelin was not aimed at him.

But...

"Pfft!"

"Eh..."

Humam Hussein's horse roared, and most of the javelin was embedded in the horse's neck.

Blood splattered on the ground and the warhorse fell to the ground dead on the spot.

Humam Hussain also fell off his horse.

Fortunately, he had thick skin and was not injured by the fall. When he turned over and pointed his spear at Li Xuan, he found that Li Xuan had also stopped his horse ten steps away from him.

He did not hold a lance, but rushed towards Humam Hussein with a sword in his hand.

Humam Hussein was still frightened by the death of his horse, but when he saw Li Xuan rushing towards him without a weapon, he mocked him for seeking death.

Humam Hussein was worried that Li Xuan would get close and draw his knife, so he gritted his teeth and stabbed Li Xuan when he was three steps away from Li Xuan.

He put all his strength into the spear.

Li Xuan saw the spear coming towards him quickly and quickly dodged the fatal blow.

I saw the spear blade piercing through Li Xuan's armor when he turned sideways.

If it hits, with Humam Hussein's strength, it is very likely that he can pierce Li Xuan's double armor.

But this speed is far from enough.

The spear missed the target and Humam Hussein wanted to retract it.

How could Li Xuan let him get his wish?

"drink!"

He stretched out his right hand and grasped the spear shaft firmly so that Humam Hussein could not withdraw it.

Humam Hussein's face turned red, he was shocked and unbelievable.

"Crack!"

Li Xuan turned around and broke the spear with his left elbow, and quickly approached Humam Hussein.

Humam Hussein also reacted quickly. He immediately dropped the half of the spear shaft and tried to draw the short knife at his waist. "Bang!"

Li Xuan moved as fast as a dragon and hit Humamu Hussein in the chest before he could draw his sword.

The 200-pound body flew backwards uncontrollably.

At this moment, Humam Hussein felt dizzy, and everything went dark before his eyes, and he could not see anything.

His heart felt like it was hit by a hammer, and his chest felt stuffy and painful.

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Humam Hussein spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.

He fell several feet away, his whole body seemed to fall apart, and he was unable to get up again.

Humam Hussain felt more of a sense of frustration.

Not only is he not invincible, but he is also vulnerable in front of General Tian.

General Tian dismounted and fought because he wanted to let him see what real power was.

Humam Hussein felt even more sad about the fate of the Arab army.

Killing General Tian is the army's only hope. Once he falls, they will inevitably be defeated again.

The frustration and disappointment gathered in Humam Hussein's heart, making him heartbroken.

Those who die on the way of invasion will no longer be blessed by Allah, and there will no longer be the fragrance of earth under their corpses.

Unfortunately, when I realized all this, it was already too late!

When Humam Hussein opened his eyes again, he saw a knife falling.

"Pfft!"

It turned out that Li Xuan came in front of Humam Hussein and drew out his sword.

A huge head was chopped off.

His eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

Humam Hussein's cavalry guards, who had just followed their commander with great arrogance, now reined in their horses and dared not approach.

The scene that just happened had a great shock on their young minds.

The invincible Humam Hussein was actually knocked to death by the Heavenly General, like a baby, without any power to resist.

Want to become strong and defeat another strong person.

There is no doubt that Humam Hussein was a well-known powerful figure in the Caliphate.

But the dramatic ending made these guards terrified.

They watched Li Xuan cut off Humamu Hussein's head and ride back on the Fire Cloud Horse.

The head was hanging on the horse, staring ahead, it was creepy!
"Li Shuai Tianwei!"

"General Tian!"

There was a unanimous roar on the battlefield, and the soldiers rushed towards the hundreds of armored guards who were with Humam Hussein as if they were on drugs.

After these armored guards lost their courage, they could only flee and dared not fight.

Sooner or later they would be caught up and killed, but they were so frightened that they just wanted to survive for the time being.

The situation on the battlefield is becoming increasingly favorable.

Li Xuan was not obsessed with charging into battle. He passed orders to Li Siye, Che Guangqian and his son, and Hun Yu.

Stop the center of the Arab cavalry and prevent the Great Emir from breaking out and escaping.

At the same time, Li Xuan also led his personal guards to move towards the central army of the Arabs.

The news that Humam Hussein was killed by Li Xuan was passed on to the Grand Emir by some stragglers.

At the same time, it also led to the collapse of various troops, and the battlefield became one-sided.

"how is this possible?"

When the Emir heard the news, he almost fell off his horse.

"It's too late, we have to cover the marshal's breakout!"

Faisal Abbas's eyes changed and he immediately spoke to the Emir.

Humam Hussein died and no one could stop the Heavenly General.

The only remaining faint hope was snuffed out.

"I have failed the Caliph and I dare not see him again!"

The elder Emir covered his face in confusion.

Now that it has come to this, what’s the point of him going back alive?
"Victory and defeat are common in the military. Even the Sword of Allah has been defeated before, so why should we persist? If we preserve some strength, we will have a chance to make a comeback. We have already failed the Caliph, so why not try to reverse the situation as much as possible?"

Faisal Abbas persuaded the Grand Emir to give him the sword.

"Order the entire army to break out!"

The great emir put away his decadent thoughts, gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, and gave orders.

"Woooo..."

A low and intermittent horn sounded, which was an order for the troops to break out.

Part of the guards surrounding the Grand Emir defended against the attacks of the Tang cavalry.

One part turned around to protect the Grand Emir and a group of Arab officials and broke out to the south where the siege seemed to be the weakest.

As long as they break through three or five layers of encirclement by the Tang army, they will be able to escape successfully!

But it is easier said than done.

The Tang army's light cavalry will certainly continue to pursue and not give the Emir a chance to escape.

Just like now, Li Siye, who is the closest, is only about 120 feet away from the Great Emir.

Li Siye charged forward with an iron spear in his hand. Although the horse had slowed down, Li Siye still attacked as he walked, swinging the iron spear and continuously killing generals.

Even the captain of the Grand Emir's personal guard was killed by Li Siye.

However, Li Siye was a strong cavalryman and there were obstacles, so it was difficult for him to catch up with the Great Emir who broke through with light cavalry in a short time.

The father and son soldiers, Che Shensai and Che Guangqian, father and son, went into battle and intercepted the vanguard of Emile.

The Great Emir was forced to divide his troops to deal with it.

Che Shensai led the iron cavalry, while Che Guangqian led the light cavalry. The two cooperated with each other, and the soldiers took advantage of the situation and charged, killing the exhausted Arab cavalry.

Soon they intercepted and entangled Emile again.

The Arab officials turned pale with fear.

They were too obvious. The Tang army might let go of some small fry, but they would never let the commander of the Arab cavalry leave.

After a burst of attempts to break through the siege, they failed to even break through the first line of defense!

On the contrary, the Tang army had several more layers of defense.

The Grand Emir's guards were also divided into three parts, and with every breath, some Arab cavalrymen fell off their horses.

Li Xuan has arrived!

But he only let Pei Huang lead his personal guards to charge at the Grand Emir's guards.

He led more than twenty riders and walked slowly around.

The victory over the Arabs was his masterpiece.

Another big win in his resume!
The achievement of capturing and killing the enemy commander was not even icing on the cake for Li Xuan, but for his subordinates, it could make him a great general.

Li Xuan doesn't want to compete for credit with his subordinates!
If it was the Caliph of the Caliphate, Li Xuan might still be interested.

"No chance!"

"Let me die like a warrior!"

The great Emir looked around.

Since he ordered the breakout, only a few thousand Arab soldiers were left on the battlefield.

And they were constantly attacked by the Tang Dynasty.

And the number of personal guards accompanying him was less than three hundred.

It's all coming to an end!

The great emir couldn't tell which one was the general.

He just took a look at the city of Samakan!
The Governor of Khorasan also stared in despair, but the distance was too far and they could not see each other.

They were all founding heroes of the Black Caliphate and assisted Abu Abbas in establishing the Black Caliphate. Their contributions will go down in history.

He will never surrender!
He died first, I wish the Governor of Khorasan could turn the tide!
At this moment, the Grand Emir treated the Governor of Khorasan calmly and no longer envied his past achievements.

Faisal Abbas was not a coward and drew his knife, trying to kill a Tang soldier.

There were fewer and fewer Arab cavalry around, and Li Siye charged forward with even greater ferocity.

With his own abilities, he first met the Great Emir.

"You are the Heavenly General!"

The Great Emir spoke something in Arab language and pointed a knife at Li Siye.

Because of Li Siye's tall stature, when the Great Emir saw him for the first time, he mistook him for a heavenly general.

Li Siye didn't understand what the Emir said. Seeing that he not only refused to surrender but also held a knife, he quickly rushed towards him.

"Our Caliph is a man of great talent and strategy, and he will surely win the final victory!"

The Great Emir refused to surrender and went to meet Li Siye.

"Pfft!"

The battle was without any suspense. The Great Emir's body was pierced by Li Siye and he was knocked off his horse.

At this moment, Faisal Abbas, an important member of the Abbasid family, was also stabbed off his horse by Che Guangqian.

Not all Arab officials are not afraid of death.

Many nobles and officials forgot their Allah and prostrated themselves under the iron hoof of the Tang Dynasty.

When the sun was at its highest point, the Arab flag broke.

In desperation, teams of Arab cavalry dismounted and knelt in surrender.

All the Arab cavalry within the encirclement of the Tang army basically gave up resistance.

The Tang cavalry showed no mercy to those who resisted stubbornly.

Li Xuan dispatched Wei Boyu, Ma Lin, Che Guangqian, and Hun Yu to lead light cavalry to pursue those Arab cavalry who had managed to escape the encirclement.

They will all change to rested war horses, and follow the trail to catch up with the escaped fish as much as possible. Those who refuse to surrender will be killed without mercy!

The Battle of Hezhong, which laid the foundation for the development of Hezhong, ended with a complete victory for the Tang army!
The loss of troops and horses by the Tang coalition forces was insignificant compared to the results of the battle.

The main reason why this battle was won easily was that the Arab Guards Cavalry had been attacking for a day and a night, and the Tang cavalry was well-rested and directly broke up the Arab formation.

Moreover, the Tang army had 30,000 more cavalry than the Arab army.

Other individual qualities, weapons and armor, as well as Li Xuan's successive killings of Arab generals, are factors of victory, but not the key to complete victory.

The infantry of the Tang Dynasty coalition forces are already moving towards the city of Samakan.

Soon, they will arrive under the leadership of Cheng Qianli.

In the entire river, only Samagan City posed some threat to the Tang army.

Samakan is an isolated city.

With no shortage of food and fodder, the Tang army surrounded the city of Samakan, and sooner or later it would make the city despair.

The interior of Samakan City is not a monolithic entity. It is impossible for the Kang people in the capital to have no ideas!

Because Li Xuan had many Kangguo soldiers under his command, and their families were in the city of Samugan.

Li Xuan also received a piece of news that the Arab defenders in the city of Samakan were not Khorasan people, but infantrymen from other provinces, most of whom were untrained "volunteers."

Their combat effectiveness and will to fight cannot be compared with those of professional soldiers.

That afternoon, the infantry led by Cheng Qianli arrived at Samugan City.

While the infantry was besieging the city of Samakan, they also helped clean up the battlefield and guard the prisoners.

The cavalry soldiers who participated in the battle can have a good rest.

When they woke up, they had delicious horse meat to eat.

The nearby city of Samakan presents a completely different scene.

Many defenders of Samagan City witnessed with their own eyes that the Tang army defeated their cavalry in just half a day.

The ferocity of the Tang army frightened them.

Looking outside the city, the Tang Dynasty soldiers were everywhere. Except for the infantry who had just arrived, the cavalry did not seem to have suffered many losses.

Soon, the Kang people in Samakan City also learned about this matter.

From the failure of the expeditionary force, to the Battle of Talas, and then to the Battle of Samantabhadra.

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the Arab Empire can no longer defend the river...
