Chapter 1016 Slow is Fast

The king of Zuogu led the troops to evacuate?

In the darkness, Lin Kaiyue noticed that the Tang army's attack was getting weaker and weaker, and soon, the offensive in front of him was all gone.

After sending spies to investigate, they learned that the king of Zuogu Li led his troops and fled in a hurry.

"This cunning puppet."

Lin Kaiyue waved his horsewhip and scolded angrily.

I thought that this battle would be able to completely annihilate the Tang army, but I didn't expect that the king of Zuogu Li, a rat, led the troops to abandon their armor and escape.

"General, are you leading the army in pursuit?" The general asked Lin Kaiyue.

At this moment, the army is high-spirited and is in an advantageous position, if you lead the army to pursue, it will be difficult for the king of Zuogu Li to lead the troops to retreat.

Lin Kaiyue raised his head and whipped his head, and said in a loud voice: "The night is pitchy, Yi Ran led the Wang Ting Iron Cavalry to find no traces, if Yi Ran did not set up an ambush in front, it was okay to completely annihilate the Zuogu Li Wang Division, once Yi Ran led the Wang Ting Iron Cavalry to set up an ambush in front, wouldn't it be self-defeating.

Moreover, after a long night's hard fighting, the officers and men of the three armies were exhausted, and the army continued to rest."

"Hey, it's a pity to let King Zuogu lead his troops to flee like this." The general sighed and said very depressedly.

Unexpectedly, Lin Kaiyue chuckled lightly: "Remember, sometimes, slow is fast, tonight's battle, our main force is still alive, wait for dawn, send spies to thoroughly understand the nearby terrain, and then lead the army to the battle, so it is more certain."

Slow is fast?

I don't really understand this truth.

However, he agreed with Lin Kai's plan to fight again in the morning.

The Tang army penetrated deep into the steppe, not only to lead the army to eradicate the Turks, but also to eradicate the Khitan and Sassanid infantry armies in the west.

Preserve the vital forces as much as possible, which is conducive to the long-term operation of the Don army.

couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "The last general is stupid, but the general is still wise."

"Don't slap the horse, clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, lead the brothers to rest, go to the rear, and report the battle situation on the front line to the emperor!" Lin Kai jumped sharply, and then rode his horse to the rear.

Today, suddenly encountered an ambush led by the king of Zuogu Li, even though after a difficult counterattack to repel the army led by the king of Zuogu Li, but has not yet completely annihilated the king of Zuogu Li, not to mention, the iron cavalry of the royal court led by Yi Ran may still be hidden in the rear.

How to deploy next, how to annihilate the Turkic elite cavalry, he needs to discuss countermeasures with the emperor.

Tang Zhong Army, Yang Yue led the army to monitor the Quartet, for Lin Kaiyue to suppress the formation, in the fierce battle, he suddenly noticed that the sound of fierce battle in front of him was getting smaller and smaller.

Soon, the grassland was completely quiet.

For a while, Yang Yue was suspicious, and he couldn't guess whether Lin Kaiyue led the army to defeat the Zuogu Liwang Division, or the Zuogu Liwang Department won a complete victory, and the Tang Army's forwards were all annihilated.

Unable to figure it out, he immediately sent spies to the battlefield to reconnoiter the battlefield on the front line.

Not long after the spies left, Lin Kaiyue led a small number of pro-troops from the front line, and before he saluted Yang Yue, Yang Yue asked impatiently: "General Lin, what happened to the front line, why was it suddenly quiet, and why did you lead the troops back?"

According to his plan, Zhao Xuanhu led the troops to be ready at all times, waiting for Yiran to lead the troops to attack, and immediately led the troops to kill.

Unexpectedly, the plan has not yet been implemented, but the battlefield ahead is the first to be quiet.

Lin Kaiyue heard the voice, with a little depression and unwillingness in his expression, and said angrily: "Emperor Qiqi, the last general led the army to defeat the attacks of the Zuogu Liwang one after another, inflicting a serious blow on them, and when the whole army slowly advanced forward, somehow, the Zuogu Liwang suddenly Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the Turkic elite cavalry who were fighting fiercely was like the sea water receding in an instant.

The last general was worried that King Zuogu Li and Yi Ran had other plans, and our army did not know much about the terrain ahead, so the last general ordered the forward to stop the pursuit, be vigilant in the same place, recover their spirits, and fight again at dawn."

"King Zuogu Li led his army to evacuate?"

"This cowardly coward is preparing for a game in vain!"

Knowing that the king of Zuogu Li took the initiative to evacuate, Zhao Xuanhu raised his horse whip and slapped it in the air, and said angrily.

Tonight, he was ready to lead the army to fight heartily, but who knows, King Zuogu Li did not fulfill his wishes.

"Zhao Xuanhu, you can't say that, King Zuo Guli's actions are clearly knowing how to advance and retreat, or he is instructed by Yi Ran. Otherwise, after General Lin led his troops to occupy the advantage, the longer the Turkic elite cavalry held out, the more casualties there were, and the more unfavorable it would be to them." Yang Yue glanced at Zhao Xuanhu and chuckled, he admired King Zuogu from the bottom of his heart.

According to his guess, Yi Ran must have led the troops to set up an ambush in front, and King Zuogu Li withdrew when the Tang army was in full swing, clearly wanting to lead the army led by Lin Kaiyue into the trap of the rear.

If it weren't for Lin Kaiyue's rich combat experience, he would be able to judge the situation in time according to the changes in the battlefield situation.

Once you are so happy and lead the Tang Army's vanguard elite pursuit, you will fall into the trap set by Yi Ran, and you don't know what will happen in the end.

"Your Majesty, the last general will conclude that Yi Ran will lead the troops to set up an ambush in front, and in a battle tonight, the army still has not eliminated Yi Ran's royal court iron cavalry, in the future, what arrangements does the emperor have." Lin Kaiyue asked.

Yang Yue didn't answer directly, but asked, "What are your plans?"

with static braking.

Yang Yue prepared to use the Tang army to carry abundant grain and grass to confront the Yiran army, causing Yiran to lead the royal court iron cavalry to give up the idea of ambush.

When the royal court iron cavalry returned to the royal court, he led the troops to chase and kill the opponent, and eliminated the opponent one after another in the pursuit, so as to reduce the casualties of the Tang army as much as possible.

Lin Kaiyue heard this, thought about it for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, according to Yi Ran's original plan, set up an ambush on both wings and in the north, and the army ambushed the main force of the Tang Army, and now the emperor sent General Zhang and General Luo to the east and west wings.

Tonight, the last general led the army to consume a large number of Turkic elite cavalry, so that the opponent's momentum plummeted, the last general suggested, temporarily hold the troops still, wait for General Zhang, General Luo to lead the troops to come.

After the main forces of the Tang army converged, we took advantage of our overwhelming superiority to hunt down Yi Ran's royal court iron cavalry, so as to annihilate them as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the combat effectiveness and equipment of the Wang Ting Iron Cavalry led by Yi Ran are not weak, and the spies in the army have not yet found the hiding place of the other party, so it is not good for the army to chase and kill."

At this time, Zhao Xuanhu next to him was like Lin Kaiyue's partial general, and said indignantly: "If you don't pursue, you just let go of King Zuogu Li, it's a pity."

"It's a pity!"

Yang Yue agreed, but said: "The goal of the Tang army in the grassland is not to kill the Liwang Department of Zuogu, not to simply eliminate individual Turkic tribes, but to completely annihilate the entire Turkic tribes, so every step of the plan must be overall and carefully deployed, otherwise, one wrong step, one wrong step, it is very likely that the advantages that the army has just achieved will be wasted, but it will be in a disadvantageous position/

I agreed with General Lin's plan, and Zhao Xuanhu informed the whole army to stop advancing, and the army rested in place, waiting for Zhang Shaoming and Luo Shishang to lead the return, and then concentrate the superior forces and annihilate the Yiran Division!"
