Cao Xing brandished the saber in his hand and hacked one person to death, and dodged the scimitar of the other. It was not easy for him to dodge with one hand, and he didn't have time to fight back, so he immediately fell into an embarrassment.

But he's not alone. Cao Xing blocked a block, and Xi Yu was about to turn the scimitar and cut again, when he felt a chill in his heart and fell off the horse.

"My lord, how can you take such a risk!" One of his own soldiers rushed over and complained.

"Be sure to pay attention next time." Cao Xing said with a smile.

The pro-soldier sighed. Cao Xing always said that he would pay attention next time, but every time he would kill him with weapons after falling into a scuffle, and sometimes their own soldiers would not have time to react. If it weren't for Cao Xing's aura of luck, he would no longer be able to lead his troops to the battle. However, Cao Xing was very good to their own soldiers and never put on a show, so they dared to complain to their faces.

Cao Xing met with his own soldiers, paid attention to the situation on the battlefield at this time, and then glanced back at the Chinese army where Xu Huizu was, and saw that the situation was still normal, so he rushed forward to kill again, and his own soldiers hurriedly followed.

But after fighting for a while this time, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly retreated a few steps out of the battle, raising his head to pay attention to the current situation.

But as soon as he observed a few times, Ji Ye rushed to him with his guards and said to him, "Cao Xing, Xiyu is gradually retreating. ”

"I don't feel right, they want to run!" Cao Xing said. When he was fighting just now, he felt that there were fewer and fewer western captives beside him, and the soldiers under his command were getting closer and closer to the west. His feeling was correct.

"Not only the cavalry led by Salha is retreating, but the tens of thousands of infantry led by Yesb are also retreating, but the retreat is so clever that it is difficult to be noticed." Song also rode over and spoke to them.

"So, the West is retreating?" Cao Xing said excitedly: "Timur can't hold it anymore and plans to retreat." This battle is going to be won. Pass my orders and the whole army will pursue! ”

"Chase, you must not let Timur escape!" Ji Ye also said excitedly.

"Your Highness, Cao Xing!" Song said: "Don't act rashly, the Xilu is far from the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, it may not be that Timur wants to retreat. ”

"Song, you're just too cautious." Cao Xing said: "Although there is still a stalemate at the moment, our army has the advantage, and Timur will not fail to see this." Even if he really used his troops and could turn the situation around, Xu Huizu was cautious in his use of troops, he could only fight hard, and in the end, even if he won, the losses would be very heavy, and the victory would be like defeat. ”

"Timur could not accept a crushing victory. Have you forgotten what was written in the book "Outline of the State of Samarkand" issued by His Majesty? Although Timur has great prestige in his country, he dares to be angry and dare not speak out when he conquers all tribes, and if Timur's elite main force is exhausted in the Western Regions, the leaders of his domestic tribes will rise up, and in an instant they will be full of smoke and cannot maintain their rule in the country. ”

"At the same time, although the elites gathered here in the Ming Dynasty, there are still more than one million troops in the Central Plains, and even if Timur is confident, he will not think that he can conquer the Central Plains with the remaining remnants of the defeated army after the great battle in his hand. At that time, he had tens of thousands of remnants in his hands, and he could only be trapped in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, how could he be willing? ”

"Therefore, it seems to me that Timur must have found it difficult to defeat our army, so he retreated, stopped the crusade and returned home with his troops. As long as he returned home with his troops, even if his prestige was reduced because of the failure to win the battle, the tribal leader would not dare to resist. Moreover, I heard that Timur knew that the deadline was approaching, and he had already arranged for the prince, and he could return to the country with his troops and hand over the court to the prince more smoothly. ”

"As for the army that is now fighting with our army and is difficult to retreat, how can those conscripted herdsmen Timur care about their life and death? All he had to do was lead the elite main force back. So Jesbu was also leading the infantry back in order to save his army. ”

"So what our army has to do now is to bite the main cavalry force in front of them and the infantry led by Jesbu, and prevent them from successfully withdrawing. Timur can give up the herdsmen who have been recruited, but he will never give up the 50,000 or 60,000 main forces, and when the time comes, General Xu will lead the army to cover and kill, and the western captives will be defeated! ”

"This." Song pondered. He felt that what Cao Xing said was very reasonable, but it was still a bit risky.

"Don't hesitate any longer. For every additional hesitation, the chances of the West Captives escaping increase by one point. Cao Xing said very anxiously. Although he was in charge of the left and right guards of the government army, his own official was only the commander of the left guard of the government army and the commander of the left guard of the government army, and he did not add the rank of general to this expedition, so Song could command the right guard of the government army not to obey his orders. If you just command the left guard of the government army to pursue, you may not be able to achieve your goal. So he had to convince Song.

"Cao Xing, don't take such a risk." After thinking about it, Song said: "Poor Kou Mo chases, Your Majesty has no intention of completely destroying Samarkand, so let them withdraw." ”

He thought about it, but still felt a little risky. Even if Cao Xing's guess was correct, Timur would not fail to guard against the pursuit of the Ming army, and the consequences of their pursuit were uncertain; And Song didn't love war as much as Cao Xing. His father had previously led the soldiers to defend the city of Iwu, and after the war, at least one count was in his hands, so he waited for the succession of the earl with peace of mind, and there was no need to take any risks.

"Song!" Ji Ye suddenly said: "Such a great achievement is at your fingertips, how can you not chase it?" Because of his sensitive identity just now, he didn't speak, but at this time, he heard that Song was unwilling to pursue, so he was anxious to persuade.

But Song shook his head, still unwilling to lead his troops in pursuit.

Cao Xing's face turned red, and he was about to say more, when suddenly his eyes were certain, and he pointed at the Chinese army and said: "Song look, General Xu's order is to order us to lead troops to pursue!" ”

"What!" Song immediately turned his head to look behind him, and looked at the flag twice repeatedly, it was indeed an order for them to pursue.

"Okay. Ordered the drummers to beat the drums and pursue the Siryu. "Since Xu Huizu has given orders, he can only carry them out.

"Soldiers, follow me after the Western Prisoners! Destroy the Western Prisoners, and the Ming Dynasty will win! Cao Xing shouted loudly after the drum sounded, and then chased after him. At his instigation, the soldiers of the left and right guards of the government army also chased after him while shouting loudly, "Daming will win".

"General Xu, if Xiyu is cheating, how can it be good?" Zhu Shanglie stood beside Xu Huizu and said to him. The place where they were located was higher and they were in the rear to see the overall situation, and they were not as optimistic about the situation as Cao Xing.

"Even if Xilu is cheating, I will make him a real defeat!" Xu Huizu sneered, turned his head and ordered: "Order Yongming Left Guard and the Korean army to send troops to pursue." ”
