Battle Of Talas River #5, Chinese Army Encircled

Note:
Heavy Cavalry Breaks the Encirclement.  The Chinese were surrounded but made a fighting retreat until the army's dicipline broke..  The Chinese Commander re-entered China with less than 2,000 troops having left 2,000 more behind as prisoners of the Caliphate.
