Chapter 989 United Front
Yi Ran marched in Yan, and after Wen Boyan assassinated Argus, he preemptively seized the iron cavalry of the royal court and successfully inherited the Khan King, and he was by no means an idle person.
He was not good at war, but that did not mean that he did not know the significance of the surrendered city to the Turks.
At dusk, he led his army into the western surrender city, causing the number of defenders in the city to surge.
Even though Yang An led the elite Tang army to garrison Fengzhou City, even if he learned that he was coming with reinforcements, he did not dare to send troops to provoke the Turks.
Taking a step back, Yang Yue sent his fierce generals to attack, facing the city with thick walls in the west, how to defeat hundreds of thousands of elites in the city.
However, in Shengzhou, in the east of the surrendered city, the eastern surrendered city, only sixty or seventy thousand Yan troops were stationed.
Yuan Mingsha and Li Yucheng led 60,000 elite cavalry Tang troops to garrison the surrendered city in Zhongshou, and marched to the east to conquer Shengzhou, and the east surrendered to the city, which caused great pressure on the Yan Department.
In Yunzhong County, Hedong Province, Luo Shishang led 50,000 elite Tang troops, deliberately took turns to storm Shengzhou, and surrendered the city in the east, which seemed to show signs of recovering the two cities.
At this time, the Turkic elite cavalry should expel the Tang army, recapture the surrendered cities, and train the three surrendered cities into a line.
Once he hesitated for a moment, Luo Shishang, Li Yucheng, and Yuan Mingsha preemptively struck in the east, led the army to recover Shengzhou one after another, and surrendered the city in the east.
Sixty or seventy thousand Yan troops in the city were killed, and the Tang army would pounce from the east and attack the city in the west.
Only by recapturing the surrendered cities and opening up the connection between the three surrendered cities can the situation of the Turks be fundamentally changed.
"The king of Khan led the army to arrive in the city of the western surrender, I believe that Yang Yue will soon get the news, according to the treachery of Yang Yue and his generals, they are bound to strengthen the defense of the surrendered city, if the king of the Khan is ready to recover the city of the surrender, he must be quick and arrange the deployment as soon as possible, so as not to preempt the Tang army!" King Zuo Xian stepped forward and echoed loudly.
The Tang army was cunning as a fox and fierce as a tiger, and wanted to exterminate the Turks at all costs.
Since the remnants of the tribe fled with the remnants of the tribe led by King Zuogu Li, the defenders in the surrendered city in the west were not only weaker than the Tang army in number, but also had no way to threaten the Tang army, even if they had the idea of recovering the surrendered city, they did not have the strength to recover.
After suffering heavy losses from the Tang army one after another, the courage of Zuo Xianwang's troops was simply worse, and they were about to turn into a shrunken turtle.
Tonight, Yiran, Temur led the royal court iron cavalry to come, so that the Turkic soldiers steadily surpassed the Tang army in numbers.
If carefully arranged, preemptively, Yuan Mingsha, and Li Yucheng were caught off guard and encountered a surprise attack, the Turks could regain the surrendered city at a very small cost.
Several cities in the north are connected again, like behemoths entrenched in the north of the Tang Dynasty, threatening the Tang Dynasty's Hedong Province, Hebei Province, and the areas outside the Guan.
Dispatch a strange army, unknowingly, unknowingly south, pointing at Chang'an is just around the corner.
Hearing this, Yi Ran smashed his iron fist on the desk, and shouted in a cold and serious tone: "In this way, the counterattack of the Tang army will first start from the recovery of the surrendered city, Temur, you are most familiar with the generals of the Tang army, and you are familiar with the terrain near the surrendered city, how sure are you of winning the battle in person?" ”
King Zuoxian, King Zuogu Li led his troops south in advance, and was repeatedly defeated in battles with the Tang army. The face of the Turkic king's cavalry made him lose everything.
The momentum of the three armies fell to the bottom, and they led their troops to take charge of the campaign to capture the surrendered city, and it was absolutely impossible to fundamentally change the situation of the three armies.
What's more, there are only 70,000 rabble left in the Zuoxian Wang's department, and only 20,000 remnants of the Zuogu Liwang are left, and they have lost the ability to fight the Tang army alone.
On the other hand, Temur led the army to fight against the Tang army many times, and even though he won few victories and lost many times, he was most familiar with the fighting style of the Tang army generals and the terrain on the front line of the surrendered city.
There are more than 100,000 fine riders under the account, and it is even more imposing.
The western front of the Turks is in danger, and they must open up the situation on the eastern front as soon as possible.
In this battle, let Temur lead the army to command, and nine times out of ten he could hit the Tang army.
Temur's expression was very cautious, and when he heard the sound, he stepped out and responded with a fist: "King Khan, even though Wei Jiyan, Yan Yuefeng, and Zhang Xuanheng led the army in Tubo, but Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, Luo Shishang and other generals are still there, they are all battlefield generals, and the last general is not absolutely sure to defeat the Tang army and recover the surrendered city."
Moreover, Yang Yue personally fought in Fengzhou, and his troops tried to achieve a great victory in the first battle alone, and the hope was very slim.
The last general needs the cooperation of the army led by King Zuogu Li, so that he dares to fight with the Tang army! ”
Temur did not have the ambition of others, nor did he be arrogant, he knew how many catties and taels he had, and he knew even more that the generals of the Tang Army had a few catties and taels.
Over the years, he has been defeated by the Tang army many times, not to mention the loss of troops, and his reputation in the Turks has been damaged.
This battle was a matter of life and death for the Turks, and they did not dare to underestimate the enemy.
Zuogu Liwang was ambushed by the Tang army, pursued and killed, and only 20,000 remnants of the army were defeated, but Zuogu Liwang was good at scheming and decisive, and his cavalry was brave and good at fighting.
Although they dare not say that they are in perfect harmony, they also increase the hope of victory.
King Zuogu Li was eager for revenge, but he had no chance, and when he suddenly heard Temur's words, he really couldn't guess why the other party deliberately asked him to cooperate.
However, in order to defeat the Tang army and avenge the tribesmen who were shrouded in horseheat. King Zuogu Li did not hesitate at all, and was very willing to cooperate with Temur.
Hugging his fists, he said: "King Khan, the last general is very willing to cooperate with General Tie to march and fight, expel the Tang army to recover the surrendered city, and by the way, avenge my son's son who died on the battlefield!" ”
"Well, that couldn't be better!"
Yi Ran nodded deeply, Temur, the king of Zuogu Li cooperated with the battle, and he would definitely fight the majesty of the Turks.
"King Zuogu Li, you and General Tie jointly fight, Ben Khan will send you 30,000 royal court iron cavalry, I hope you will win the first battle, reverse the passive situation of the tribe, and enhance the decadent momentum of the three armies!"
"Whoa!"
The two of them were commanded.
After implementing the matter of surrendering the city, Yi Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said: "King Zuoxian, you lead your troops to defend the city bravely, beware of the Tang army's sneak attack, and by the way, send spies to closely monitor the Tang army's whereabouts, find the Tang army's army that transported the earth-shaking thunder, and strive to destroy their earth-shaking thunder as soon as possible!" ”
"Whoa!"
King Zuo Xian hugged his fists and led the way!
Sixty percent of the main Turkic forces are gathered in southern Xinjiang, and if they cannot lead their troops to win on the battlefield, it will cause great harm to the tribes.
From Yiran to King Zuoxian, no one dares to take it lightly.
......
Toyosu.
After nightfall, Yang Yue Junchen had already learned that Yiran and Temur led his army to the city of Xishou.
The monarchs and ministers gathered to negotiate and discuss the elimination of the Turkic army.
More than 400,000 elite soldiers are enough to prove that the Turks have made a bloody investment and are ready to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty.
If you try to annihilate the other party, the Turkic vitality will be greatly damaged, and you will lose the power to invade the Tang Dynasty, and you will be gradually eroded by the Tang army in the future.
If the Tang army's northern expedition fails, under the rampage of the Turkic cavalry, several cities in the north will definitely not be able to be saved, and they may also threaten the imperial city of Chang'an.
