If it weren't for the fact that the plan to get out of the empty city was successful, so as to better understand Ashinahuqin's way of doing things, Li Xiuning would never dare to use such a bold strategy, but probably it would only be used once.

After learning that he was deceived, Ashina Huqin will inevitably learn from the lessons, although his temperament is still cautious and suspicious, but he will think more about scruples, and he may not be able to make the choices he has made. In this case, naturally there is no way to completely grasp Ashina Huqin's decision, so Li Xiuning will definitely not take risks at will.

After all, in such a thing as a war, the slightest omission is likely to be a global rout.

Ashina Huqin's army retreated quickly, which was a pain for the 10,000 Turkic soldiers who had broken through the encirclement and fled. Say yes? Why did you all run away, thinking that you would be safe immediately, but it turned out to be good, and at that moment, you should not be too confused and desperate, and you don't even have the heart to escape.

Many people drill into the mountains on both sides, but this barren countryside is cold winter, there is no food, and you don't have to think about it and know that you will die if you can't carry it for a few days, but at this time you can't take care of it.

However, more of them were chased and slaughtered, and for the sake of safety, Li Xiuning didn't dare to chase too hard, and still let some people go.

Ashina's sudden retreat is called a fast, and the distance that took three days to walk away before can now be completed in one day, and it has returned to the original distance of a hundred miles. Believing that he was not surrounded by the other party, he 'succeeded', and the situation returned to a stalemate again.

At this time, Ashina Huqin didn't want to fight, although the final result was a loss of thousands of people, but it was still within the tolerable range, mainly because it was cold and frozen, coupled with the new defeat, Rao is Turkic good at fighting, and the morale at the moment was also extremely low, mainly many people couldn't understand Ashina Huqin's previous decision, why did the good ones withdraw.

However, the idea is the idea, and it is another matter to really return to the army, if there is no suitable step to go down, suddenly returning to the army will only make him lose face. Originally, he went out on a grand expedition, but he didn't fight a tough battle in the strict sense, and he lost thousands of people in vain, so he slipped back?

While angrily continuing to look for the traces of the ambush army, while temporarily camping here to see the changes. It wasn't until a few days later that Ashina Huqin finally found out that something was wrong.

To be reasonable, since there are so many troops in ambush, it is impossible to find a trace of such a large number of spies, and so far, there is no other trace except for the suspected appearance of a large number of men and horses. I can't say that those ambush armies will be invisible.

And after Li Xiuning's sudden night attack that day, he immediately returned to the army camp and stationed it, as if he was in a state of stubborn defense, he didn't come out at all, and continued to strengthen the fortifications of the camp. This kind of appearance, but it is diametrically opposed to his previous performance, where is there still a look of wanting to eat his army of 80,000.

Well, in fact, these are not important, and it is not enough to see the problem directly, mainly because it is clear that it is time for the logistics grain and grass escort, but there is no movement at all in the rear.

Ashinahuqin's first reaction was that the grain channel was cut off, and this guess was reasonable. To be honest, the Turkic side is not accustomed to the logistics of war, and what the Turks are best at is to bring a small amount of rations, maintain a high degree of mobility with the war horse under the crotch, and fight all the way to grab it, without thinking about any logistics problems at all.

Not to mention the general Turkic generals, even Ashina Huqin is extremely unaccustomed to it, and he thinks that there will inevitably be omissions in the matter of the grain route, even if it is truncated, it is not impossible, and this policy has long been accustomed to the Central Plains.

Fortunately, in order to prevent accidents, the first batch of food carried by Ashina Huqin was quite a lot, but he was not so anxious. However, sending spies to dig deeper behind the scenes is stupid!

Not only was the passage for sending grain and sending messages blocked, but even half of Youzhou had been plugged, and tens of thousands of troops were advancing towards Yunjing in three lines, which was surprisingly fast.

At this point, Ashina Huqin still doesn't understand that he has been tricked! Where is there any ambush and surrounding, and there is nothing to lure the enemy deep, everything is just taken for granted that people have already built the plank road and secretly Chen Cang has entered their rear!

"Good! Good! Good! What a deception! Ashina suddenly laughed angrily, and he couldn't immediately send troops to attack Li Xiuning's camp, but it was too late.

Separated by a hundred miles, even if it is a cavalry, it will take a day, in addition to rushing here, you also need to set up camp, in addition, in the face of death, night attack is not a good choice, you can only attack again the next day. And it's not something that can be won if you want to attack strongly, and not to mention how much it costs for the time being, it's definitely not a day or two that can be won.

Wait for a few days to return to the army, God knows what will become of Youzhou, don't look at Youzhou still has more than 100,000 troops, but in his absence, he will basically only guard Yunjing, don't be alone when there is only one Yunjing left, then Youzhou will be completely abandoned.

"Order, pull out the camp, return to the army!" Ashina suddenly clenched his fists, until he got on the war horse and was about to set off, he still looked back unwillingly, as if he could see Li Xiuning's camp.

At this time, a large caravan appeared outside Yunjing City.

Naturally, it can't be Gao Yuyao's branch, they are still being detained by Xu Miaojin, after being questioned several times, they have never asked for more information, and finally they have a whim, if they pretend to be a caravan, is it possible to enter Yunjing to make peace?

Maybe there's a code excuse or something, but what if you get in. Even if it fails, there will be no loss, and at present, there is war in Youzhou everywhere, and it is impossible for the defense army defending Yunjing to dare to open the city gate to pursue it, because the result is likely to be an ambush.

However, except for the bold Yang Miaozhen, the other three women are against this policy.

The number of defenders in Yunjing City is there, no matter how big a caravan is, at most a few hundred people will be mixed in, and if you really go in to do something, you probably won't know how to die, and even if you succeed, you won't have much gain, it's just a fight, and there won't be many people who can escape smoothly.

Yang Miaozhen also knew this, but since this idea came out, she has been itching in her heart, and she is unwilling not to give it a try.

Yes, this time it was Yang Miaozhen who sneaked out on his own initiative.

I have to say that if you change the time, you can't really get in, but now that the war in Youzhou is raging, the gate of Yunjing City is closed, and you are not allowed to go out, let alone enter, in such a situation, how can you not take strict precautions.

This made Yang Miaozhen, who originally planned to pretend to be that caravan, temporarily change his mind and claim to be from elsewhere. Trade, why does it have to be a caravan, at least the goods are really not.

Showing it under the city, the Turkic side in the city is very moved, since Gao Yuyao carried out a trade blockade, the Turks are now scarce of materials, although the last caravan transaction is a lot of goods, but it is not enough at all.

But open the gates of the city to welcome in? After several discussions with the remaining tribal chiefs, they finally decided to trade with the outside of the city.

Now Yang Miaozhen is gone, why should I come here if I can't enter the city. But it's hard to refute, since it's a business, as long as it can be sold, it's the same wherever it trades, and forcing it to enter the city will arouse suspicion.

And then...... And then......

Yang Miaozhen took the caravan away with a confused face, and called a lot of goods, not to mention gold, silver and jewelry, as well as a lot of furs, calligraphy, painting and antiques, box after box, in short, it was a lot of money, especially these goods were still robbed, and there was no half of the capital.

"No wonder so many people are willing to take risks to trade with foreigners." Yang Miaozhen suddenly realized that the profits were too considerable, and what was surprising was that the Turks, who had always been murderous, did not make a move to forcibly grab the goods!

Thinking about it, there are very few teams that still have the ability to bring caravans over to trade, and it is refreshing to rob them for a while, but they cut off the follow-up trade, and the Turkic side cannot rely on robbing once or twice to not need trade for many years, so it is not advisable to rob in such a way as to cut off the road.

When I went back to the meeting, I was shocked, did this Nima accidentally find a way to make money? The money came too quickly. For a while, I forgot to blame Yang Miaozhen for being good at asserting.

No, now is not the time to dwell on this issue.

"The military situation in the rear, Ashina Huqin has begun to return to the army." Qin Liangyu shook his head and hurriedly said.

"Huh? Oh, that's what it is. Yang Miaozhen almost didn't react, and was still in a trance.

Ashina Huqin's rapid return to the army was not smooth, every time he marched for a period of time, there would be spies to report, saying that there were enemy movements in front of him, in this case, Ashina Huqin naturally would not rush in, either temporarily rest on the spot, or slow down the march, and then let the spies further explore.

Then, naturally, the so-called enemy forces in front disappeared again......

Under such repetition, the speed of the march naturally could not be fast, and Ashina Huqin was helpless. When the night was set up to camp and rest, the drums of war suddenly rose, and the whole army in horror got up to take precautions, but where was the night attack?

When I returned to calm and just fell asleep, yes, here we go again!

As for sending someone to chase, how do you chase it in the dark night? If there are fewer people, they are afraid of ambushes, and if there are more people, they can't catch up, after all, they are also cavalry troops, and they all have war horses. And apparently divided into batches, chased one wave, and another wave continued to harass from the top from other directions. And obviously, the spies are targeted and scavenged, and the number of spies sent out can come back is very small, not to mention, and they can't bring back too much useful information.

Proper strategy for exhausting the army, there is nothing wrong with it. It's not always easy, but it's perfect now.

For three days, the entire Turkic army was extremely tired and its morale was low. It's a cold winter, it's cold, even if they claim to be able to fall asleep on horseback, they don't dare to fall asleep easily, the cold doesn't kill you?

Ashina Huqin knew that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise he would have to be dragged down before he returned to Yunjing. Immediately ordered to ignore whether there were enemy troops in front of him, and to advance at full speed, it was better than a big fight.

Not to mention, I didn't encounter anything unusual for most of the day, and I drove most of the day smoothly, if this is the case, I can't say that I can return to Yunjing City before sunset tomorrow.

However, after a day's drive, the mental state is inevitably more sleepy. When he was ordered to rest on the spot for a quarter of an hour, he staggered one by one, ate something at will, and seized the time to catch up on sleep.

"Not good!" Ashina suddenly looked at the low morale of his subordinates, suddenly woke up, threw the horsewhip in his hand, and said angrily: "Ben Khan has been tricked again!" ”

As if to prove that what he said was true, as soon as the words fell, a large army appeared in the distance, and countless war horses slowly moved forward, approaching this place. As soon as he saw this posture, Ashina Huqin knew that the other party's general was a man who knew cavalry.

The cavalry charge has an optimal distance, if it is too far and has not yet run, the horse will be weak and lose its maximum charging strength. If it's too close, the speed doesn't add up.

At such a distance, if you directly launch a charge and gallop at full speed, it will certainly shorten the reaction time of the Turkic side, but it will also lose the power of the cavalry charge.

"Get on board and get ready for battle! Prepare for battle! Ashina Huqin shouted and got on his horse, and the Turkic army was in chaos.

It is not that there is no need to fight, after all, the Turkic side has the advantage of numbers, and is better at cavalry, and the only disadvantage is poor spirit, low morale, and limited time to make defenses.

There is no hurry to complete the full armament at all, if you really do that, you will completely fall into passivity, even if they are all cavalry, but the charging side and the charged side are completely different things.

"Don't worry about the sides, tie the knot, take your men and horses to hedge directly forward, let them know, play cavalry, we Turks are experts, don't be afraid, Ben Khan is behind you! Be sure to make a gap. Ashina Huqin decisively ordered, being able to fight does not mean that you can fight, and that kind of loss will not be a star and a half.

This time it seems to be dangerous, but in fact, the problem is not big, the other party is obviously encircled, then it means that the troops are scattered, so that only one line of defense needs to be aimed at rushing out, you can contact the danger of being surrounded, so as not to fall into complete passivity.

Surround the cavalry without superiority? It's just a joke!

The 10,000 Turkic troops who were the first to complete the preparation launched a direct charge, and directly played cavalry hedging, Ashina Huqin led the Chinese army to follow, as for the remaining part of the preparation for the battle, they couldn't care about that much, they could only blame themselves if they could keep up.

In this regard, Yang Miaozhen laughed, waved his hand, and several colorful flags floated, and the cavalry behind him immediately split into two, directly leaving a big opening for the Turkic cavalry to break through, including the army where Ashina Huqin was located later, and did not intercept it at all.

Hedge? Don't look at the Turkic army's poor state at the moment, but in the end, it is an old expert in cavalry, and most of the cavalry on his side are still strengthening training, so it would be stupid to really hedge.

From the very beginning, Yang Miaozhen and the others were not ready to start a big war, and the target was always the small group of Turkic troops who were in a panic and fell into the encirclement. Destroy the enemy at the minimum cost and get a decent result, why not, anyway, the Turks are now more and more unable to consume troops, little by little encroachment, the initiative will sooner or later belong to their side.

After all, even if we can win the Turks now and drive them out of Youzhou? Pay for one's whistle.

Not to mention the loss of combat power, Youzhou is also a mess now, and the state has not been completely developed and stabilized, how can there be that extra resources to develop another Youzhou.

It's not in a hurry, even if it is to let the Turks keep the forces to contain the Liang side.
