Chapter 1020: Yan Bu returns
The situation was urgent, Yi Ran really didn't hear the killing shouts from the south, and this elite cavalry went all the way north unimpeded.
Moreover, the Turkic cavalry did encounter the situation where the Tang army changed its uniforms and disguised itself as the Turks to gain trust, which led to a crushing defeat of the army.
For a while, unable to determine the identity of the person who came, Yi Ran's mind fell into a dilemma, fighting or defending, there was no choice, and he turned around and asked, "Mr. Wen, what do you think?"
Wen Boyan's thoughts were solemn, his brows were tied in the early morning, and he couldn't judge the authenticity of the identity of the person who came.
He said with a cautious expression: "King Khan, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, the Tang army is scheming, what King Zuogu Li said is not unreasonable, we have to guard against it. However, it cannot be ruled out that Yan Xingjun led the army back, and in order to avoid the two armies from killing each other, a certain suggestion was to send spies to investigate as soon as possible, so as not to kill the clansmen by mistake."
The forward cavalry was in a chaotic formation, panicked, and clearly a deserter, and he was afraid that Yan Marching would set up an ambush in the south and be defeated.
In a panic, they broke into the stumbling rope they had planted and fell into the pit.
Yi Ran looked at the cavalry approaching from the south, and agreed with Wen Boyan's statement, they had lost too many troops, and there were no reinforcements to rush to help, so they really couldn't lose any more troops.
Ordered: "Mr. Wen, you quickly send someone to investigate, King Zuogu Li, you quickly rectify the troops and horses, if the situation in front changes, it proves that the person who came is not the Yan cavalry, immediately lead the troops to stop the killing!"
"Whoa!"
Wen Boyan, the king of Zuo Gu Li, turned around and took action.
A spy rode his horse like an arrow out of the fortifications and charged at the cavalry coming from the south.
Yi Ran stared at the cavalry with both eyes, not even daring to blink.
Next to him, the king of the left valley waved his blade and led the army into battle, alerting the cavalry rushing from the south.
In the hills, the atmosphere was tense and quiet, and everyone held their breath.
In the south, thousands of horses are galloping, the dust is rolling, and the dust is everywhere.
When the cavalry was getting closer and closer, suddenly an iron cavalry in the hill shouted in panic: "Tang army, a large force of Tang army in the rear is approaching."
Hearing the sound, the soldiers who were standing on the high part of the hills raised their eyes and looked into the distance, and suddenly, they saw the rear of the approaching cavalry, and the overwhelming Tang army swept in.
It's not like the small elite riders who harass them, it's more like the Tang Army's forward elite pouring out of the nest.
Suddenly, all the soldiers couldn't help but clench their blades, the archers pulled up their longbows, mounted their arrows, and the shield soldiers quickly lined up and set up the formation.
King Zuogu Liwang muttered, didn't know what to scold, grabbed the mace and ran close to Yiran, and said in a loud voice: "King Khan, the Tang army is following, no matter who the cavalry in front is, they should attack as soon as possible, once the Tang army mixes into the center of the cavalry in front, at that time, it will be more and more impossible to eradicate them."
Yi Ran's cheeks were cold, he didn't answer, he still stared at the spies who were heading to the south, and said in a low voice, "Wait!"
There were a lot of cavalry approaching in front, and before the identity of the other party was determined, he did not dare to launch a counterattack, lest Ruoyan march and lead the troops to come, and the Turks would kill each other, so that the Tang army would take advantage of it, and also cause contradictions within the Turks.
The gains outweigh the losses!
In the grassland, Yan Xingjun led the army to evacuate, and when he saw a Turkic spy approaching in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Tribal spies are infested here, and they will naturally lead them to the main force of the army.
He led the troops to fight for hundreds of miles, and finally found the main force of the Turks, and Yan finally escaped death.
It's a pity that his frowning brows didn't have time to stretch, and a brave horse galloped up in the rear, panting and reporting: "General, a large force of Tang troops in the rear is pursuing, as if they want to attack."
Tang Jun?
The Tang Army is chasing after again?
Hearing the sound, Yan Xingjun's flushed face instantly turned pale, and a few traces of anger appeared.
A few days ago, when he led his army to lurk, he learned from the spies that Yang Yue led the army to break into the trap they set, and eagerly led the troops north, wanting to assist Yiran in besieging the Tang army and eradicating the other party as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, when leading the army forward, he mistakenly broke into the trap of the Tang army, and failed to kill the enemy, but suffered heavy losses.
Commanding the Yan elite cavalry to fight desperately and losing more than half of it, he rushed out of the mouth in the encirclement of the Tang army and led the troops to the north in a hurry.
Along the way, instead of throwing off the Tang army, they also lost a lot of elite cavalry.
After traveling hundreds of miles, it was not easy to get rid of the Tang army, the army did not have time to rest, and they were chased and killed by the Tang army, they were simply endless?
"Inform the three armies, the Khan led the royal court iron cavalry to hide nearby, everyone hold on for another half a moment, strive to meet the Khan King, and then try to counterattack." Yan Xingjun commanded loudly.
Yan Bu's elite cavalry lost a lot, the grain and grass carried by the army were lost, and they fled for hundreds of miles, and the army was exhausted and vulnerable.
At this moment, Yan Xingjun did not dare to slow down, lest before he joined Yi Ran, Yan was killed by the Tang army again.
When the spies from the north approached Yanbe, in order to avoid being hit by the galloping elite horsemen, they hurriedly turned around and headed north.
Soon, the Yan cavalry approached, and the spy said in a loud voice: "The king of Khan is leading his army to lurk in the north, where is General Yan?"
This cavalry was already very close to the bottom of the hills, where they were deployed.
If he didn't report the news to Yan Xingjun, he would have led his troops to rush in, and he would inevitably lose his troops, and at worst, destroy the trap and stumble of the horse trap they ambushed the Tang army, and at that time, the Tang army would approach like a road and no man's land.
Among the cavalry who evacuated in a panic, they found the traces of Yan Xingjun, and the spies explained their intentions and reported to Yan Xingjun on the deployment of Yiran's troops.
Knowing Yi Ran's concern, Yan Xingjun ordered the flag bearer to dance the military flag to pass the message, so as not to cause misunderstanding and kill each other.
On the hills, Yi Ran, King Li, and Wen Boyan saw the spies converging with the cavalry that came to them, and the army held high the military flag, Wen Boyan hurriedly turned around and said: "King Khan, General Yan, is the cavalry led by General Yan."
"That's right, it's General Yan who led the remnants of the army back." King Zuogu Liwang echoed.
They did not expect that the well-trained and prepared Yan Bu elite cavalry, two days later, would be like a rabble, not only did not achieve a great victory, but panicked to get it back.
Yi Ran bowed his head depressedly, and ordered in a cold tone: "King Zuogu Li, immediately order the troops to attack, go to meet Yan March, and strive to block the Tang army that is chasing and killing."
Yan Bu came, in danger, if he didn't send the general to lead the army to rescue, I was afraid that he would die tragically under the Tang army, at that time, it was just empty joy.
After receiving the order, King Zuogu Li no longer hesitated, stepped on his war horse, raised his mace, turned his head and shouted to the cavalry in the rear: "Attack to meet the battle, rescue Yan Xingjun."
On this day, Tang Jun's endless harassment was almost about to blow him up.
At this moment, there was an opportunity to vent his anger, the king of Zuogu Li couldn't care about his injuries, and the elite cavalry of the three armies couldn't care about being tired, and rushed out from the hills, like a torrent, and he couldn't wait to break into the Tang army.
Raise a knife to kill all sides and vent the anger of the grievances in your heart.
