The night is pitch and you can't see your fingers.

In the vast wilderness, in the howling night wind, mixed with the sound of insects.

King Zuogu led the remnants of the defeated army and fled to the place where Yiran was lurking.

The remnants of the soldiers who lost their armor rushed in in a panic and quickly lurked on the spot,

With the help of the defense of the royal court's iron horse, they jumped off their horses one by one, and lay down in the green grass to seize the time to rest.

In this battle, they fought very poorly and aggrieved.

Obviously there was no doubt about victory, but in the end it was heavily damaged by the Tang army, and instead of completing the prior deployment, it lost troops and lost countless casualties.

The momentum of the whole army is like a frosted eggplant, lost its soul, and its momentum has fallen to the bottom.

King Zuo Gu Li endured five or six pains on his body, jumped off his war horse, groped his way to Yi Ran's side, looked embarrassed and depressed, and said breathlessly: "The last general has betrayed the trust of King Khan."

The first battle was attacked, but it did not play with the momentum of the Turkic elite horseman.

So that Yiran's plan is stranded, and the entire deployment of harm has to be adjusted.

Yi Ran sighed slightly, turned his head and said: "After nightfall, the firearms explosions of the Tang army came and went, you led the troops to fail in a surprise attack, and reluctantly brought back some of the cavalry, and the other generals led the troops to the battle, I am afraid that the whole army will be destroyed."

He ordered the withdrawal of the army, how could he blame the king of Zuogu Li.

What's more, the injuries on the body of King Zuogu are enough to prove how fierce the battle on the battlefield ahead is.

"King Khan, the Tang Army's strong crossbow, earth-shaking thunder, and divine fire flying crows are really powerful, and our army's flesh and blood cannot resist, the Khan King should inform the three armies to be cautious and not underestimate the enemy."

King Zuogu Li endured the great pain, pulled out the broken arrow at the thigh, trembled in pain, and reminded Yiran when he tore his robe to bandage the wound.

This defeat was inseparable from their contempt for the firearms of the Tang army.

Thinking that the cavalry was lightning fast and could break through the shield array of the Tang army and the defense of the armed vehicles, even the arrow array and firearms of the Tang army had not yet broken through.

The lessons of the previous car are vivid, and I really dare not let Yiran repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Ben Khan has already informed the three armies!"

Yi Ran said lightly, in the explosions one after another, he had already realized that the Tang army's offensive was very fierce, which made him sincerely afraid, for fear that King Zuogu Li would not be able to resist, how could he dare to underestimate the enemy.

Looking at the painful look on the face of King Zuo Guli, Yi Ran persuaded: "You are seriously injured, hurry up and find a military doctor for treatment, Ben Khan will lead the troops to defend, otherwise, it will be another hard battle when the Tang army comes, and at that time, you are afraid that you will not be able to bear it."

King Zuoxian was beheaded by him, and Temur died on the battlefield.

There are fewer and fewer generals in the army, who are good at leading troops to fight, and King Zuogu Li is good at hard fighting, and there is no room for mistakes.

"The last general can't die in battle!"

Rejecting Yiran's kindness, King Zuogu Li took out a wine jug, drank the spirits, pulled out the short arrows from the wound one after another, and ordered the pro-army to bandage him simply.

The Tang army is coming at any time, how can it be delayed?

How many arrows did the Tang army shoot at him before, and when Lin Kaiyue led the army to come, he had to pay back twice.

Lying in the grassland, King Zuo Gu Li stared straight ahead with his eyes, and said: "It's dark ahead, there is no sound, maybe Lin Kaiyue is leading the Tang army to approach quietly, at a critical juncture, how dare the last general leave."

Yi Ran admired the courage of the king of Zuo Gu Li, and also cautiously watched the ahead.

However, after waiting for a while, the front was still calm, and the Tang army not only did not approach, but even the sound of horses' hooves disappeared.

The king of Zuogu Li found that the place where he fought before, the bonfires were lit one after another, and the figures were shaking, and the Tang army did not seem to be chasing, but resting in place.

"What's the matter, King Zuogu Li, when you led the army to evacuate, did Lin Kaiyue send cavalry to chase after you?"

Looking at the blazing bonfires in the south, even though Yi Ran didn't want to believe it, he had to admit that the Tang army had stopped to rest.

For a while, I couldn't guess what Lin Kaiyue meant, he clearly led the troops to turn the situation around and was in an advantageous position, if he sent an army to pursue the victory, he would definitely expand the results of the battle, and even win a complete victory.

Why didn't they chase after him, but set up camp in the south?

Could it be that Lin Kaiyue is aware of it?

"King Khan, when the last general led the army to withdraw, the Tang army was pursuing."

King Zuo Gu Li reported that he was also puzzled, how could the Tang army stop the pursuit, could it be that he was ready to miss the opportunity?

Let him lead the army to escape, this is not Lin Kaiyue's style.

"King Khan, General Yan, General Su has not led the army to come for a long time, maybe Yang Yue and Lin Kaiyue learned that our army was ambushed here, and specially ordered the vanguard elite to stop the pursuit." King Zuogu Li guessed, and reminded by the way: "Since the Tang army has not chased, the king of Khan should order the forward defenders to continue to strengthen the fortifications as soon as possible, in case the Tang army kills them during the day, and the original fortifications cannot stop their edge."

At this time, Yi Ran's thoughts were low and depressed, and he waited for work as planned, ambushing the Tang army, who knew that after a battle, their situation became more and more passive.

At night, the three armies were not allowed to rest.

In this way, the Iron Cavalry can easily become a tired division, and when it confronts the Tang Army again, it will lose its advantage one after another.

However, what happened to King Zuogu Li before proved that the Tang army was not an idle person, since they chose to ambush and fight again, the stronger the defense, the safer their situation.

Yi Ran turned his head and instructed the pro-army: "Inform the forward iron cavalry and continue to build defenses."

"Whoa!"

The pro-army received the order, and the cat turned around and left.

Glancing at the bonfire in front of him, Yi Ran smashed his fist into the grass, and said with a long sigh: "The ambush plan failed, Ben Khan faintly felt that Yan was sent to march, and Su Li led the army to the two wings to set up an ambush, resulting in a sharp reduction in the number of the main force, and the situation of the army became more and more difficult.

Losing battle after battle, even when victory was assured, they were still defeated.

Yiran was deeply shocked, not to mention, and was afraid of dragging the tribe into the quagmire.

King Zuogu Li lay in the grass, looked up at the night sky, and sighed: "Heaven is unfair, I am not born at the right time, the tribe dominated the grassland in the past, how could I have ended up in such an embarrassing situation when I fought with the Tang army."

After that, he turned his head to stare at Yi Ran and said: "If you don't continue to ambush the Tang army and let Yang Yue lead the troops into the grassland, not only will the royal court iron cavalry suffer losses, but the tribe, the defenseless and unarmed clansmen will also have their lives in danger.

In the event of an unfortunate defeat, under the aggressive advance of the Tang army, we can only lead the army to avoid Anthony's infantry phalanx and protect the people to move west."

In the night, Yiran, King Zuo Guli, like two injured lone wolves, has a strong desire to survive, licking his wounds to heal.

"Alas, the opportunity is fleeting!" Yi Ran said bitterly: "Maybe Agus's original strategy was right, without the strength of the strong strength, the tribe really shouldn't be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty."

Regret not being at the beginning!

Yi Ran felt remorseful and regretted that he had obeyed Yan Marching and Wen Boyan's bewitchment and killed Argus.
