Chapter 597: Breaking into the east of the river
After a crushing defeat, Delhi Chenan suddenly recognized a cruel reality, that is, the right guards on the opposite side were obviously well prepared to deal with them, and they were not in a hurry. Whether it was the semi-permanent military camp in front of him, it also included the various traps that Ashdullah had reported after his return about the rear camp to deal with the cavalry raids.
The hard bones in front of him, I'm afraid that he can't take it down. Delhi Chinan knew that the ability of the Tibetan army to attack the fortified position was far from sufficient, and in front of a well-prepared large camp, even if they hit their heads and broke blood, they might not have a good result.
And what worries him even more is, where are the nearly 10,000 cavalry of the right guard?
The cavalry of Zhang Jia, the right guard, was formed with the Khitan cavalry as the core, and its combat effectiveness was extremely strong, while the other cavalry led by Li De came from Li Ze's lineage rangers, and the combat effectiveness was needless to say, such a well-equipped cavalry team disappeared without a trace, which could not help but make Delhi Chinan frightened.
The knives that came out were some ways to deal with them, and those hidden knives made people's bedrooms uncomfortable, and no one knew when and in what way he would stab them.
If you stab yourself in a fatal place, that's bad.
No matter what kind of attack, it is always the most ferocious at the beginning, but after being hit by a head, whether you want to save face or not, you always have to stop and lick your wounds and accumulate strength.
In the first day of the attack, after the heavy losses of Delhi Chinan, in the following days, every attack was a shallow stop, and more cavalry were sent out to bypass the Yellow River, but they did not try to attack the camp again, nor did they dare to leave the headquarters too far, if they had followed the practice in Tiande, they could have gone to plunder in all directions and rob the local people with impunity.
But here, they don't dare.
The nearly 10,000 cavalry of the missing right guards were like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and they didn't know when they would fall. Once a large number of cavalry are dispersed and cannot be concentrated in time, the sudden attack of the right guard cavalry will become their nightmare.
For the next few days, Delhi Chixiang had been plotting a trap, and the cavalry sent out did not seem to have much contact with each other, but consciously or unintentionally formed a large encirclement along the Tibetan camp. If the cavalry of the right guard attacked, they would fall directly into this trap.
But nothing.
The cavalry of the right guard did not come.
Zhang Jia's camp on the other side of the river did not move much, as long as the Tubo people did not fight, they also stayed quietly in the camp.
This is not normal.
Delhi Chinan felt that something must have happened that he didn't know.
It wasn't until the sixth day that the messenger of the city of Nakasu came rushing in, and all the mysteries were finally solved, but it was the one that Delhi China did not accept the most.
The 8,000 cavalry of the right guard detoured through the desert, raided the city of the west and the city of the west and garrisoned the city of the west, and Xenobud, who was guarding everyone's back road, was defeated and lost, and only more than 3,000 people escaped from the tens of thousands of horses.
Nearly 5,000 people had fled from the Western Surrender City, but during the hundreds of miles from the Western Surrender City to the Middle Surrender City, without any supplies, those who were weak and wounded among these people either fell behind or did not carry them to death under the bad weather conditions.
The loss of the surrendered city of the West was like a blow to the heads of Delhi Chinan, Ashdullah, Peng Fang and others.
"Return immediately to the city of Zhongzhuo." Peng Fang suggested with a pale face.
Delhi Chi Nan glanced at him and sneered, "Do you want to go back and become a turtle in Wengzhong?" Obviously, the Zhenzhou side has been prepared for this war for a long time, and it is not as caught off guard as we imagined. That's why Zhang Jiayou's military guard is waiting for us here, and Li De's cavalry detoured the desert to raid the city of Xishou, God knows how many Tang troops will be pouring towards us next, leading back to the city of Zhongshou, and then surrounded by the Tang army? ”
Peng Fang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?
"What are we going to do now?"
"What to do? Simple! Delhi Chi Nan said with a gloomy face: "We can't be entangled here, get rid of the right guard, immediately insert into the east of the river, to complete the strategy set by the Great Treatise earlier, and only in this way can we get out of the current predicament." ”
Peng Fang's face suddenly turned white.
Delhi Chinan's words had already made it clear that he was going to give up the whole Tiande. They can leave, including Peng Fang and his subordinates, but how can the family members in Zhongshou City run? More importantly, are the soldiers willing? At the beginning, they surrendered because they didn't want their families to fall into the hands of the Tubo people, and now they can't be worried that their families will fall into the hands of the right guards?
"No way!" He shouted a little out of shape, and it wasn't until he saw the disdainful gazes of Derry Chinan, Ashdulla, and the others that he realized his current situation.
"The army of the Right Guards is still above our waists, how can they let us leave so easily? It is better to concentrate on defeating the right guard first, and then say, since Li De is outside with 8,000 cavalry, we have no scruples and can attack with all our might. Peng Fang said: "If the general has such a proposal, Peng Fang is willing to be the vanguard." ”
Delhi Chi Nan laughed hesitantly: "It is naturally good for Peng Shuai to have such a determination, since you have the determination to fight to the death with the right guard, then break the rear for us, although Li De's cavalry is not here, we are not afraid of Zhang Jia's pursuit, but it is always necessary to take precautions." ”
Peng Fang stared blankly at Delhi Chinan, and the expression on her face became more and more distorted.
"Peng Shuai, there is no need to dwell on it here anymore. We don't know how many military horses will appear here in the direction of Zhenzhou, since they have taken the west surrender city and cut off our back road, it is obvious that they want to surround us and eat us in one go, and if they want to eat us, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the right military guard alone, so the other troops on the Zhenzhou side must already be on the way, and the right military guard battalion, we have been fighting for several days, it's not that I say a word of discouragement, it is difficult to fight in a short time, we can't take this risk, every day of delay here is fatal. Ashdullah felt a little pity for this general, or because he was also a Tuguhun and not a Tubo, so he explained.
"General Astura is right." Delhi Chinan said coldly: "And Hedong, now is the time of emptiness, tens of thousands of troops attack Yinzhou, Suizhou, at this time we cut into Hedong, it is equivalent to a stab in their stomach, the rear is unstable, the front will be defeated, you know, in Ansui, although Da Lun has gathered more than 200,000 troops and defeated Han Qi and Li Cunzhong, Hedong is all owned by us, and we will naturally rest easy." ”
"But ......"
"Nothing!" Delhi China South said: "Since Zhang Jia has no cavalry, he can only shrink in this turtle shell, and if he really dares to make a fool to come out and pursue us, it is a good thing, just to teach him a good lesson." This matter is settled, let's go back and prepare! ”
Peng Fang hung her head, knowing that everything was irretrievable.
At night, the lights in the Tubo camp were still bright, and they were preparing to retreat under the nose of the right guard, and just as Delhi Chinan expected, Zhang Jia did not move at all, and did not have the slightest intention of coming to take advantage of the fire to rob.
"General, Zhang Jia is indeed very careful, it seems that he will not come." Ashdullah was a little disappointed.
"If it were me, I wouldn't have bothered with such an obvious trap." Delhi China South Road.
"Then, do you want to let the sons and daughters take a rest, and they will march during the day?" Asdullah asked.
"No, get ready, the Tiande army is only afraid that it will mutiny." Delhi Chinan's face was grim, "Once Peng Fang can't control his subordinates and the Tiande army mutinies, then ......"
He made a throat-slitting gesture.
Ashdullah nodded.
As expected by Delhi Chinan, when the remnants of the German army heard that the surrendered city of Xishou had been captured, they were going to abandon Tiande and follow the Tibetans to Hedong, after an uproar, a mutiny naturally occurred.
Peng Fang died in the chaos.
The mutinous Tiande soldiers rushed out of the camp and tried to escape in the direction of the surrendered city, but fell into the hands of the Tubo army, which had already been prepared, and were all killed.
After a night of noise, at dawn, the Tibetan army pulled out the camp and headed towards the east of the river.
On the embankment of the Yellow River, Lu Jing looked at the Tubo army in the distance, and looked at Zhang Jia with some puzzlement: "General, there was such a good opportunity last night, why don't you give it a try?" ”
"I can't try, I can't try!" Zhang Jia waved his hand again and again, "We don't have Li De now, we don't have Yang Xing, this little bit of soldiers and horses, it's okay to guard the camp, but as soon as you go out, you will be the target of being bullied." ”
"It's a pity!" Lu Jing sighed: "If Zhonglang is here, he will be able to win a big victory last night." ”
Zhang Jia laughed: "It's still a big victory now, Lu Jing, now it's time for us to reorganize our troops and horses, and go to take over the places in the surrendered city, Tiande, it's ours!" ”
"What about Hedong?" Lu Jing was a little worried.
"That's not something we should worry about." Zhang Jia spread his hands: "Li Xiang has already prepared for the matter of Hedong, and we are holding Tiande in our hands first." ”
"It turns out that Li Xiang has been prepared for a long time, and I am really worried about it."
"It's really a fool's errand!" Zhang Jia laughed: "How are the bones of the body good?" If it's okay, let's go to the middle city for a run? ”
"Small injury, small injury, no problem at all!" Lu Jing said continuously.
Zhang Jia laughed.
Having controlled the entire Tiande, Xiangye finally took control of a road to the Western Regions.
This battle, after all, is still moving forward step by step according to Xiangye's thoughts.
"Han Qi, Han Qi, how can you be Xiangye's opponent!" Zhang Jia sneered.
