The west is surrendered to the city, in the study of the government office.

Temur, King Zuoxian, King Zuo Guli, and the generals under their respective tents stood on both sides of the study!

The generals were silent, and the atmosphere was like winter ice, cold and biting!

Yi Ran was indifferent from the time he led the army into the city, and his whole person was as cold as frost, which made people shudder.

Even if Yi Ran didn't say anything, the generals vaguely guessed some reasons from his cold and gloomy expression.

Defeat at the front!

Yiran's anger must have been due to the defeat of the generals at the front.

Not to mention the loss of troops, it also reduced the morale of the elite of the southern expedition, so that the Turks changed from an all-out attack to a forced defense.

In silence, Temur raised his head and glanced at Yi Ran, turned his head and swept over King Zuo Xian, King Zuo Guli, and asked in a cold voice: "King Xian, King Guli, you are leading the troops to the south like a rainbow, and it seems that you have the potential to sweep the world and seize the Tang Dynasty.

But what happened in the battle in southern Xinjiang, when a certain leader entered the city, why did the soldiers defending the city have a low momentum, like frost-beaten eggplants, without the slightest spirit?"

Morale.

The Turkic cavalry has never lacked strong morale and strong fighting spirit, but it is a pity that the soldiers defending the city have long since lost such a temperament.

Even though Timur knew that the defeat of the army would reduce the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers, after he led the army to defeat in the past, he also saw such confused and helpless eyes in the soldiers under his command, but it was never so obvious as the defenders in the city of Xishou.

King Zuoxian, King Zuogu Li was embarrassed and embarrassed, with their status, Timur was not qualified to question.

However, the defeat of the battle at the front was an ironclad thing, and they could not refute it, deny it.

King Zuo Xian's steps were heavy, as if filled with molten iron, he stepped out of the ranks with difficulty, looked at the cold and angry Yi Ran, bowed and saluted: "King Khan, the last general and King Zuogu Li, Yan Xingjun led the army to the south and failed, and several deployments were cut down by the Tang army in advance, and he accidentally got into the trap of the Tang army.

Even though the general was defeated by the leading troops, he was not qualified to refute and defend himself, but the general still had to say that the army had failed several battles, and in addition to the Tang army's courage and good fighting, their firearms were too powerful.

The iron bow held by the tribe is not as good as the crossbow of the Tang army, and the strong iron shield cannot block the firearms of the Tang army.

The Khan's march to the south is certainly gratifying, but if the firearms of the Tang army are not eliminated, the cavalry of the tribe will not want to turn the situation on the front line."

Zuo Xianwang's attitude and tone were also very harsh, even if there was a sense of justifying himself, he also showed the facts and made the battle situation on the front line clear.

"That's right, the elite of our department is rarely matched in the grassland, and the Tang army is not qualified to threaten the safety of our department, but at the end of the day before yesterday, the general led the army deep into the grassland to pursue Lin Kaiyue, when Zhang Shaoming was ambushed by the other party, he was often bombarded by firearms and seriously injured.

King Zuo Gu Li agreed with King Zuo Xian from the bottom of his heart, and to change the outcome of the war, first of all, the idea was to try to destroy all kinds of firearms of the Tang army.

"King Zuo Xian, King Ligu of Zuo Gu, the Tang Army's workshops for all kinds of firearms manufacturing are either in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, or they are protected by elite soldiers, and it is difficult to destroy the firearms used by the Tang Army!" Yiran did not hold the two princes responsible for the defeat, and also showed them that the Turks had no way to defuse the threat of firearms for the time being.

After all, regarding the Tang Army's carrying firearms to fight, he had already sent spies to investigate the various provinces of the Tang Dynasty.

Although some workshops for making firearms have been identified, under the protection of the Tang Army's guard Sen Ran, it is difficult to infiltrate the workshop and destroy the workshop from the inside.

Therefore, even if he knew the power of firearms, the threat to the Turkic cavalry in battle could only be swallowed by breaking his teeth.

"Yes, to change this unfair situation, unless you try to get the firearms of the Tang Army, the tribe will develop them themselves, so as to give a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye." Timur expressed his thoughts, and quickly said with a stern face: "The tribe does not have craftsmen in this area, even if it gets the firearms of the Tang Army to re-study, it will take a long time, so to fight against the Tang Army, you still need to adopt the previous strategy.

Although the casualties in the battle may be very large, as long as the Tang army can be severely damaged, so that the cavalry of the tribe continues to penetrate into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, more casualties can be beared!"

After all, the Tang Army had limited firearms, and it was impossible to rely solely on firearms in battle.

What's more, firearms are only long-range strikes, and if the Turkic cavalry seizes the opportunity to fight to the death in hand-to-hand combat, it may not be impossible to teach the Tang army a lesson.

"Well, what General Tie said is true!"

Yi Ran nodded deeply, thought for a moment and said: "That's right, we can't crack the Tang Army's Sky Shaking Thunder, nor can we break into the city to destroy the Tang Army's Sky Shaking Thunder, however, according to the spies' report, most of the workshops that make the Sky Shaking Thunder are in Hebei Province and outside the Guan.

We only need to send spies to secretly monitor the movements of the Tang army, and strive to find out the route of the Tang army's transportation of the earth-shaking thunder, and then send generals to intercept and kill, rob, the Tang army loses the earth-shaking thunder gallop to help, if the eagle is cut off its wings, their strength will be sharply reduced, this is a good time for the tribe's iron cavalry to counterattack in an all-round way."

After that, Yi Ran continued with a cold expression: "The Tang army has the assistance of the earth-shaking thunder, which will indeed cause very serious losses to the cavalry of the tribe, how can I have to admit that the combat power and ordnance of the Tang army have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few years.

You must not underestimate the overall strength of the Tang Army because the Tang Army killed the enemy with the help of the Heaven-Shaking Thunder.

Don't forget, since the time of Argus Khan, the tribe has become powerless to fight against the Tang army, and General Tie, General Yan, Kurunur, and the princes of the tribe have led their troops to defeat the Tang army, which is enough to prove how terrifying the strength of the Tang army is."

Hearing this, King Zuo Xian, King Zuo Guli, and Temur all hung their heads, embarrassed and embarrassed, and became silent.

There's no denying it!

In the war, the Don Army became stronger and stronger.

There was silence in the study for a long time, and King Zuogu Li stepped forward and suggested: "King Khan, the surrendered city is a bridge connecting the two surrendered cities in the east and west and Shengzhou, to change the situation of the tribal army, to turn defense into attack, we must send elite troops as soon as possible to recover the surrendered city, reoccupy several cities in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and once again form a horizontal north, the deployment of the army pressing the border.

Only then did they have time to find a good opportunity to attack the Tang army, and they went south one after another, gradually encroaching on the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"

King Zuogu Li's suggestion to recover the Surrendered City was not only because the Surrendered City was once his sphere of influence, but also because the most important thing was to start from the current situation.

If you can't occupy the surrendered city, no matter how many elites are gathered in the north of the Tang Dynasty, you will still be beaten everywhere and your position will be passive.
