Chapter 1019 Friend or Foe Unknown

On this day, the Tang army squad launched hundreds of charges against the Yiran Department one after another.

Even though he didn't understand the deployment of the Yiran Ministry, he unfortunately lost hundreds of elite horsemen when he charged, but he found out the trap set by the Yiran Ministry.

In addition, the spies sent one after another, after half a day of large-scale investigation, basically found out the location of the Yiran Department.

Even if they still didn't know much about the specific defenses of the Yiran Ministry, all the Tang troops were vigilant.

When it was close to dusk, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly faintly fainted in the south of the barracks, and the Tang army was vigilant, and many cavalry rushed out from the southeast, and the waves seemed to move quickly to the north.

In the Tang Army, Ye Qinghu led the rear army, which was specifically responsible for the security of the rear of the army.

Knowing that there was the sound of horses' hooves coming from the south, he was busy with the edict and then prepared for war.

In a hurry, the army is temporarily preparing for war, and crises are lurking.

Unfortunately, the sound of horses' hooves approached, and the cavalry from the south did not approach the barracks, but passed along the east of the barracks and headed in the direction of the Turkic royal court.

Ye Qinghu sat on horseback, grasping the blade, looking at the cavalry gradually moving away in surprise, his thoughts were very puzzled.

This group of cavalry came quietly from the south, and if they suddenly attacked the barracks, the odds were extremely high, but there was no surprise attack on the barracks.

Like a pack of wolves in the aisle, they rushed straight to the north.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly: Could it be that this cavalry failed in battle.

Looking into the distance and carefully observing the cavalry formation, Ye Qinghu noticed that the cavalry was moving forward, the formation was chaotic, and the soldiers bravely threw away their armor and seemed to be in a hurry.

Turning his head to the adjutant general beside him, he ordered: "Quickly send spies south to reconnoiter the battle situation in the southeast?"

When the Tang army's northern expedition deepened, it was learned that there were Turkic ambushes hidden on the two wings, and the emperor specially sent Luo Shishang, Guo Xiaocai, Zhang Shaoming, and the four generals of the South Dao Ming to lead the army to the two wings.

Now there is a large number of elite cavalry in the southeast Turks who have withdrawn in a hurry, if his guess is correct, nine times out of ten it is Luo Shishang, Guo Xiaocai led the army to victory on the southeast front.

The situation is so good that this cavalry can not be allowed to evacuate safely.

"Whoa!"

The adjutant general bowed his head and rode away.

Ye Qinghu didn't stay long, turned the horse's head and went in the direction of the tent.

Most of the cavalry from the southeast, fleeing in a hurry, were unaware of the traps, stumbling ropes, and thistles scattered by the Yiran tribe in the north.

The retreat to the north without warning was not noticed by the Tang military first, and the Yiran department was afraid that it was also unnoticed.

If a Tang army takes advantage of the situation to pursue, when the other party panics, it may force them into the trap set up by the Yiran department, and cause casualties to the other party without much effort.

Moreover, the Yiran Department did not get the news in advance, and did not know that this cavalry had returned, and if the Tang army pursued, they would misjudge and launch a counterattack against the fleeing cavalry.

Hurriedly walked into the tent, Ye Qinghu reported the battle situation in the rear to Yang Yue, and expressed his thoughts, Yang Yue nodded firmly: "This method is feasible, immediately beat the drum, and order Lin Kaiyue to lead the elite of the forwards to the battle, if he wins, take advantage of the victory to pursue, expand the results, if defeated, the army will return to the camp to continue to rest."

"Whoa!" Ye Qinghu bowed down to receive the order and said, "The last general will return to the rear immediately and lead the army to be vigilant in case of accidents."

......

Hilly area, Iranbu.

After half a day of unsimple harassment by the Tang army, the iron cavalry of the Yiran Department was like a frightened bird, and they were in panic all day long.

The slightest wind and grass make them all soldiers, as if they are facing a great enemy.

Yi Ran, King Zuogu Li, Wen Boyan was also in a bad situation, his face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his tired cheeks were filled with bursts of anger, like an angry lion irritable and bored.

The Tang army, which was rushing one by one, was like buzzing flies, charging in waves, although it did not cause too many casualties to the royal court iron cavalry, but it was extremely annoying.

Several times, King Zuogu Li even wanted to lead his troops to rush out and eliminate the Tang army that was endlessly harassing them.

Yi Ran, Wen Boyan's thoughts were also on the verge of collapse and rampage, and gradually became unbearable.

If it weren't for Yan Marching, Su Li would have led the troops back, and the three armies would converge, and it would have been more likely to destroy the Tang army in one fell swoop.

Anger, annoyance, unspeakable grievances.

Yiran had never suffered such a great humiliation.

When he took time to eat and replenish his strength, in the south, the deafening sound of military drums sounded in the Tang military camp.

Hearing the sound, Yi Ran, who was already irritable and angry, suddenly threw the dried meat in his hand into the grass, the green tendons on his neck swelled, his face turned red, and his teeth creaked, like ogres, and shouted: "This group of Tang troops is too deceitful, do you really treat my Wang Ting Tieqi as a tiger with teeth extracted?"

Today, he endured and endured, retreated and retreated, but the Tang army had to advance inch by inch, becoming more and more arrogant.

Next to him, King Zuogu Li was also angry, his face turned red, he spit out the dried meat in his mouth, and said coldly: "King Khan, the warrior can be killed, not humiliated, the Tang army has repeatedly attacked and harassed, and adopted the strategy of disturbing the enemy, if I don't fight back, the army is afraid that there will be no Ning Ri, and the last general will ask to lead the army to attack, otherwise, if it is consumed again, the sharp energy of the iron cavalry will be exhausted."

"Fight!"

"Tempt the Tang army to go deeper, and the iron cavalry will charge once."

Yi Ran said in a vicious tone, I can't wait to dismantle the Tang army that harassed the iron cavalry.

After receiving the order, King Zuogu Li clenched his iron fist and strode forward, impatiently going to the location of the tribe's soldiers, wanting to quickly lead the army to kill.

At this time, Wen Boyan blocked the pace of King Zuogu Li, drew his sword and pointed to the south and said in a loud voice: "King Khan, you see, the cavalry rushing from the south seems to be the cavalry under General Yan."

Yan Bu Jing ride?

Yi Ran turned to look at the prime minister, and King Zuogu Li stopped to look, and the cavalry rushing in groups from the south was wearing animal skins instead of the armor of the Tang Army, and the military uniform was indeed the dress of the Yan Xing Army.

"King Zuo Guli, pause the attack, wait for the southern cavalry to approach, confirm the identity of the other party, and then make arrangements." Yi Ran dispelled the idea of attacking, the identity of the person who came was unknown, if Yan Xingjun led the army back, wouldn't it be fratricidal to send troops to charge?

What's more, the return of the Yan Army, Su Li will lead the army back sooner or later, and when the three armies will gather, it will be more certain to destroy the Tang Army.

Unexpectedly, King Zuogu Li said with a serious expression: "King Khan, this cavalry is definitely not Yanbu."

"Why?" Yi Ran asked in surprise.

They are dressed in animal skins and holding the banner of Yanbu, who are they if they are not Yanbu elite riders?

"King Khan, Yang Yue led the troops to garrison in the south, if General Yan led the troops back, how could the Tang army not stop the reason, today, can the King of Khan hear the killing shouts from the south?" King Zuo Gu Li said solemnly: "What's more, the king of Khan ordered many spies to go south, instructed General Yan, and General Su led the troops to the north.

In addition, the king of Khan must not forget that Yang Yue had ordered the Tang army to change the armor of our army several times, so that our generals lost their vigilance, so that they led the army to rush and win.

Today, we are here to confront the Tang army, and Yang Yue may repeat his old tricks in order to win as soon as possible."
