Chapter 1008 Fleeing in Retreat
It is better to rely on others than on yourself.
At the critical moment, Yi Ran thought about it and decided to use the Turks' own strength to resolve the immediate crisis.
Moreover, the Turks did not have foreign aid, and if they wanted to rely on others, they had no chance.
Yi Ran made a plan to lead Wang Ting's iron cavalry and go deep into the grassland to take the lead in ambushing the Tang army.
Strive to strike at the arrogance of the Southern Tang Army first, perhaps the Wang Ting Iron Cavalry cannot completely annihilate the Tang Army at present, and also do its best to severely weaken their vital forces.
Once the Tang army in the south failed to invade the Turks, and the army lost its troops and was forced to do so, Yang Yue would naturally judge the situation and lead the troops back.
After buying respite for the tribe, he will have the opportunity to lead the royal court to the west, specifically to clean up the ambitious Anthony.
After completely eliminating the enemy forces flying and domineering on both Turkic fronts, he will regroup and restore the momentum of the Turks.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yi Ran's cold eyes swept over the few generals in front of him, and he commanded loudly: "Yang Yue is aggressive, sending the King of Shu, Zhang Xuanheng and other generals to contain the King of Youxian and the King of the Right Valley in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, so that the western part of the tribe is almost exposed to the skin in front of the eyes of the Sassanid infantry phalanx.
Yang Yue personally led the army, and nine times out of ten he would take advantage of the victory to pursue from the south, and wipe out our troops with a drum of momentum like a tiger.
When the tribe is in danger of life and death, all the Turkic sons should unite to resist the enemy and protect the safety of the Turkic tribesmen.
Yan marching, you lead the army to the east of the steppe, the whole army hides, waiting for the order of Ben Khan, Su Li, you lead the army to the west, the whole army is also hidden, without the order of this king, the army should not act rashly.
Zuogu Liwang, Wen Boyan, and I led the royal court iron cavalry to slowly evacuate, showing a panicked and defeated posture, striving to attract the Tang army to go deep into the grassland, gather and annihilate it. ”
At this moment, Yi Ran's heart is like a mirror, if Yang Yue is eager to win, his plan will be successful, if a large Tang army is chasing after him, he will go deep into the grassland, and he does not understand the terrain in the vast grassland.
When wandering in the grassland like a headless fly, he and the king of Zuogu Li, Wen Boyan led the army to defend against the enemy in the front, sent messengers to secretly order Yan to march, Su Li, and led the ambush soldiers to kill from both wings.
Surprised, covered up its unpreparedness, and killed the Tang army in a surprise attack.
It can not only cut off the retreat of the Tang army and form a trend of closing the door and fighting dogs, but also plundering a lot of grain, grass and ordnance of the Tang army, and filling the vacancies of the Turkic departments.
If Yang Yue relied on the momentum of the Tang Army, he ate the ambition of the leopard and led the troops to drive the expedition in person, and just took the opportunity to arrest the other party.
King Zuo Guli, Yan Xingjun, and Su Lide, thought for a moment, and after confirming that Yi Ran's plan was feasible, they all nodded in agreement.
Lure the enemy deeper, close the door and beat the dog.
If this plan is successful, the tribe will change the current passive situation.
However, Yan Xingjun still said worriedly: "King Khan, in the last few battles, the Tang army has won one after another, and the momentum is flourishing, and the key number can easily crush the tribe's elite cavalry.
Having personally experienced the battle with the Tang Army, Yan Xingjun deeply realized that the Tang Army's combat strength has improved rapidly and is well-equipped, which is not what it used to be.
The Turks, on the other hand, were defeated again and again and gradually declined.
In accordance with Yiran's military order, the army withdrew from various cities in the north to the grassland, and its momentum fell to the bottom.
If you want to arrange troops in the grassland to ambush the Tang army, the chances of winning are slim.
Yan Xingjun hopes to preserve the strength of Yan in his bones, and he knows very well that in troubled times, only by controlling the army and leading the elite soldiers can he be invincible.
Even, Yan Xingjun made a bad plan to defeat the army and surrender to Tang.
Hearing this, Yi Ran wanted to say something, but there were remnants of soldiers in the south who couldn't wait to ride their horses.
At this moment, the four remnants were covered in scars, their armor was torn and ragged, and their hair was scattered one by one, with a little fear in their expressions.
The guards next to him came up with four remnants, but before they reported, Yi Rannei couldn't help but have a bad premonition.
In an instant, realize what is happening in the south?
These people are clearly the daring army selected by Timur, and now they are fleeing in the wilderness, could it be that Temur was defeated and the city was lost in the east?
Otherwise, the daredevils defending the city would not have fled back in such a mess.
Glancing at the four of them, Yi Ran asked uneasily, "What's the matter, where is Temur, where is he?"
The war in the northwest is unfavorable, if Temur is defeated and the war in the south is tight, a large number of Tang troops will flock into the grassland in advance.
The four remnants of the soldiers glanced at each other, and the soldiers led by them said in a panic: "King Khan, General Tie died in the battle outside the city of Dongshou, and the five thousand daring troops were wiped out except us, if it weren't for Lin Kaiyue deliberately letting the villain come back to convey the battle situation on the front line to the Khan, the villain would definitely die."
"So, the city of the East has been lost?"
Yi Ran hadn't asked yet, and Su Li asked impatiently.
He was unwilling, he led the elite under Timur's tent, how could Timur die on the battlefield?
What's more, Temur was a fierce general, and dying on the battlefield was a huge loss for the Turks.
"General Su, General Tie burned down the Dongshou City according to the plan, how could the Tang Army be insidious and despicable, it seems to have insight into General Tie's plan in advance, only Guo Xiaocai led thousands of Xiao cavalry troops to break into the city, so General Tie's plan did not cause many casualties to the Tang Army, but the soldiers defending the city were brave and encountered Lin Kaiyue leading the army to block them, and the casualties were exhausted!" The remnants reported.
Temur died on the battlefield?
In an instant, Yi Ran, Su Li, Yan Xingjun, and King Zuo Gu Li looked sad and depressed.
Yi Ran died in battle, if the news spreads, it will inevitably deeply affect the momentum of the three armies.
At this time, King Zuo Gu Li suddenly said with a serious expression: "King Khan, Lin Kaiyue is very deep in the city, not a reckless man, let alone a good type, this time he deliberately released them back, and nine times out of ten he secretly sent spies to follow.
This king suspects that our position is very likely to have been exposed, and it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and we must act according to the orders of the king of Khan as soon as possible, otherwise, the main force of the Tang army will chase after us, and a tough battle will inevitably occur. ”
The Tang Army spies are following?
Suddenly, Yi Ran's expression became serious.
King Zuogu Li was right, Lin Kaiyue released the remnants of the soldiers and came back to report, it was not impossible for him to stare at a few remnants and ask, "Do you have tails in the rear?" ”
Finally retreated to the grassland, if the Tang army found their traces, it is very likely that the army will not have time to deploy, and will encounter the pursuing Tang army, and their plan will be in vain.
When the remnants heard this, they looked dazed.
When they were dying, they fled in a hurry, and He Zeng noticed that there were Tang troops tracking in the rear.
Yi Ran looked at the trance-like expressions of several remnant soldiers, basically guessed the seriousness of the problem, and shouted: "Generals, you can't hesitate any longer, hurry up and act according to the plan." ”
Time waits for no man.
There really isn't much time left for them, and they must no longer joke about the future of the Turks.
